Anyone know where this game has gone?
never heard of it, but its website is non-existent and its no longer on appbrain which means it was pulled from the market.
Still listed on androlib though, not tried scanning the QR code there however.
they have new app called live holdem ( if live holdem doesnt work than try dragonplay), u can use your old acc

For some reason I cannot fathom HTC Android based phones like Magic and Hero is relased in Norway and are selling quite well. But full Android market is not released so we can only access free apps. Meaning I cannot buy CoPilot even if I wanted to.
Is there any way to open full market access? How does the phone detect my location, can I fool it by setting up a proxy or similar?
I would like to buy apps too. Sadly, I can only access free ones.
hey...
i live in Romania..had the same problem but this came in handy...
don't forget to save settings first
i could still receive calls and browse the internet with faked operator...but you never know what could happen
Thanks, will give it a try...
Is anyone else unable to get certain apps from the Android Market on their Vibrant?
Search www dot cyrket dot com for anifree (the author of a Live wall paper I want). See all the apps/wallpapers? Now take your Vibrant to the market and search for the same thing (anifree). You'll find their Agenda and their Funny Pic apps. Not a single wall paper.
Shooting the barcode in Google Goggles or Barcode Scanner returns the same result. App not found.
Anyone have any advice?
I have experienced this issue as well, not sure how to fix it or what it's caused by. Let me guess your looking for the koi pond wallpaper? In the theme section there's a thread titled live wallpapers, and you'll find it in there.

I'm having this issue with my new vibrant also. My phone is rooted and I thought that might have something to do with it, but I checked on a family member's new vibrant and the anipet live wallpapers also don't show for them with a market search or using the qr code on cryket. I installed the koi wallpaper on my phone from the live wallpapers thread, and the atrackdog app showed it has an update available, but it's link can't access the app from the market either. There were a few other live wallpapers I've been unable to access thru the market or cryket, starfield and panoplanet are a couple that come to mind.
I'm unable to some apps in the market either... I haven't rooted or anything yet. Anyone figure out how to fix this phone so that we can see all apps in the market?
Apparently there are different versions of the market, I only got mine to work after applying metamorphs that had the adverse effect of changing the version I had.

What happens is this, as I've read from another thread: when a company launches a new phone, they tell google about it. Google then updates the market so that if your phone's specs (what version of android it is running, mainly) are capable of running the app you're trying to find, it shows it to you. If Google knows your phone can't run it, it won't let you see the app in the market to avoid you downloading something that you cannot run.
Sometimes Google updates their market database quickly, or sometimes it takes them a long time.... like it apparently is taking for the Vibrant. So it currently doesn't know that the Vibrant is an Eclair 2.1 phone, which supports live wallpapers (some phones running 2.1 don't). It thinks the Vibrant can't use them, so it blocks them.
If there are apps you want, I would suggest getting the APK from a reliable source elsewhere and installing it. For example, last I checked Angry Birds wasn't available on the market, but someone posted a link so that you may download it from elsewhere.
It is kind of strange though because some live wallpapers do show up, and some don't. Apparently though it is all up to Google. There might be a way to modify the identity of your phone to the market so it thinks it is one of the phones that is currently recognized as a phone that can run anything, but I don't know of it, I'm new to the whole mod/root scene.
The application manifest file for an android app can specify all of the supported hardware combinations.
Generally android will refuse to load an app if it can't find a hardware configuration that matches the device.
For example: if all of the configurations listed in the applications manifest file require a d-pad, android will refuse to install it on any device lacking that feature.

So my phone is now unlocked and i followed everything in the activation guide except calling Microsoft for the activation code yet.
and I managed to download some apps through my laptop and installed to my phone and worked
but i tried 2 games which were "the Harvest" and "Twin Blades" and they don't work
but also i installed a LG game which worked fine
so i was wondering if this is because i still didn't activate live services or the HD2 isn't capable of playing WP7 games after all ??
Thanx in advance

Hi
I installed "Twin Blades" trial from the market (activated) and it worked fine.
I tried installing "Harvest" through my computer, like how you did it (I think)it installed, but didn't open/run.
I then tried installing Harvest trial again, but this time using the market, and it worked fine.
There might be a difference between the trial versions and full versions (in terms of installing / running), but I haven't tried purchasing any games yet.
Some xbox live titles work when you install it through desktop. So it's just a hit or miss when trying out apps that way. Either way, it is recommended to get an activation code to get the full WP7 experience.
I believe you used WP7 3MktPlace to download the games. Am I right? In this case you just have to wait for the vbguy (the creator of 3MktPlace) to update the software. He already found a way to make an automated patch for XBL games. (games other than Xbox LIVE games should work fine with current software)

yes exactly i downloaded using 3mktplace then installed using tom xap installer
so the only limitation from not activating the code will be using xbox live accounts or signing in to windows live accounts only?
and could u plz tell me more about this update??
also, is 3mktplace the only way yet to get apps and games other than the built in market place?
Thanx in advance
yes the only limitations are not being able to access windows live (includes x box live, live accounts) and marketplace.
3mrktplace isn't the only other way, there is another one, can't remember it but i think it's on xda.
Im sorry, Im afraid that I cant be more helpful in this matter. I don't know much about the updates except what I read in his blog. All I know is, in his latest blog entry he wrote that he already found a way to fix all those XBL games and he will integrate this new patch in new version of 3MrktPlace (v0.5). I think we should sit tight and wait for the updates, it wont take long
I only use 3MrktPlace btw, so I dont know about the other stuff. I browse the marketplace apps through zune, and I'll download apps through 3MrktPlace.
oh btw ahmedsalem89 : Get the activation code. Just call them. It's worth the try.
Thanx
I will Call them as soon as I'm sure that I'll be sticking with WinPhone 7 and not returning to android at least for a while
Wondering if any of you guys can help with this. I'm in the USAF stationed overseas. I had a friend coming TDY here bring a Nexus 7 over with him for me. I absolutely love this tablet, but the region restrictions are causing me tons of headaches. I can finally get the Market to show me music, books, and movies when using an American VPN and then clearing market data/cache and force stopping it, but other issues still continue to nag me.
For one, I never received my $25 Google Play credit. This is really just an annoyance, I've put an email in to Google about it but it's not a deal breaker if I never get it. Also, was the pre-loaded content supposed to be installed from the start? I don't have any of that content on my device (example: Transformers movie, etc.)
The main issue is getting around region restrictions for apps. Perfect example of this is the Google Play Books app. If I go to the store page in the Play Store, I can bring it up, but there's no Install, Open, or Uninstall buttons listed. If I go to the Apps settings page, it's listed there. But it's not listed in my App drawer, and if I add the Library widget to a homescreen and try to set it up, it just points me to the store page that I can't do anything on. If I try to install it from the Play store from my desktop PC...it says Installed there, but errors out saying the application already exists.
Is there any way to get around this? I mean, ****, I'm trying to be a legitimate customer here. I'm American FFS. With South Korea's complete non-enforcement of copyright laws, I'm starting to wonder why I even bother.

I have the 2017 Shield.
I have used BBCIplayer in the US on many Android devices over the years. I usually install from apk or a British Google Play account, and then use a smart DNS service (smart DNS sends the proper signals through a VPN so the BBC server sees me as being in the UK, but the actual video is not sent through the VPN. Except for the limited purpose, the device has a US ip address.)
For every device except the Shield, once the Iplayer app is installed, it stays installed and visible.
The Shield has its own Nvidia made version of Iplayer (the regular version does not work with Google TV.) I installed this once from the Google Play store with a UK Google Play account. It worked fine, then disappeared after a while. I can now get it to work by using a copy of the Nvidia Iplayer apk that I downloaded from the internet - I click on the apk in file manager and then click on the "market" option rather than the "install" option. I am then given a screen where I can "enable" the Iplayer, and it then appears again as a usable app.
If I go into settings when the app is enabled it shows as a system app, rather than a downloaded app (as does the proprietary version of the Amazon video player.)
One of the reasons that I like Android is that it has less of the "big brothery" stuff than IOS (or a Roku, for that matter.) So it pisses me off that the device I paid for is actively frustrating my watching what I want to watch with an app which is on the machine. I'm not saying that Nvidia should be providing me with a VPN connection, but on the other hand it shouldn't be actively blocking me from what I want to do.
Short of hooking up to a VPN 24/7,any ideas as to how to stop this disabling of the app?
I want to try this.. Brit now in Germany. I installed express vpn on my shield but didn't look for iplayer yet.
I assumed I would need vpn set to UK all the time I wish to use BBC then disconnect vpn for normal use.

From Nvidia :
The BBC iPlayer app is only available inside the UK. If you are not located in that location or have recently moved out of the UK then the app will no longer be available from the main menu of SHIELD Android TV.
If you are located in the UK, please ensure that Location Services is enabled. To do so, navigate to the Settings menu and then into the Personal->Location menu and ensure it is enabled.
If you prefer not to use Location Services, please ensure that the device language selection is set to "English (United Kingdom) (GB)". To do so, navigate to the Settings menu and then into the Preferences->Language menu and select the language from the list.
----
so:
Disabled Location
Set English UK Language
Reboot
Enjoy

read the OP its pretty obvious he is using vpn hes in the USA what he wants is a work around for the app being disabled because its not licesensed for use outside the UK hence my post:good:
Hi, after battling with the same issue for some time on the 2015 shield, I've been able to work out a solution;
I've posted the solution up here;
https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/1011733/shield-tv/how-to-fix-the-disappearing-bbc-iplayer-app-for-out-of-region-/
In-case it gets taken down for any reason, the solution is to extract out the APK of the iplayer system app (using ES file explorer on the shield TV), then pull the resulting APK into "APK Editor Pro" and then modify the app name and package name to create a new APK (making sure the package name doesn't have iplayer in it) and then sideload it onto the shield TV.
This way when the shield is booted, only the inbuilt iplayer app is disabled, but not the modified cloned app.
I expect this same process to work with many other inbuilt apps on the shield TV that might be disabling out of region.
Hope this helps someone!
Hi Watsonash, I scanned the apk you've kindly shared for the disappearing iplayer & it's infected with malware; I checked it with both VirusTotal and NVISO APKScan...

hi, those products must be reporting false positives. As said I simply used "APK Editor Pro" to change the information, so unless this in injecting malware (which I'd say is most definitely not the case). I described the process so there is nothing stopping you from taking the exact same approach yourself and generating the modified apk yourself. I just installed Virustotal and it said the apk simply wasn't in its database (which is correct as APK Editor Pro has to resign the app as part of the packaging process).
Hi Watsonash, I aplogize, I should have clarified in my original comment that I didn't think you were purposely putting that apk out there with malware; I was just trying to be brief in my comment, which isn't something that comes naturally, as you'll see... My reasons for posting were to let you know that a scan dectected malware so you could look into why that was & fix it - that being said, every day is a new school day for me, because I wasn't aware of the false positive thing until you mentioned it. Now I understand that it's not something that you can"fix"and it isn't likely infected. I don't know how to modify anything - the only knowledge I have is knowing where to look to find clever people like you who do the work to fix annoying issues like the iplayer disappearing. I am eternally grateful for people like you who figure these things out for people like me & to have learned something new about the false positive issue; I was stupidly thinking that since two different websites showed positives that something was there, but now that I've read into a bit, I've clued in that the majority of the actual antivirus programs on both sites marked it clear. I see now that there are many variables taken into account when these programs come up with a result that doesn't look good.
Again, I apologize; this is why I usually just read & then research & never post comments - I should stick to doing that! Thank you for figuring out this fix; it's very much appreciated!
