Marketplace ... where are you ? Oo

That might sound like a stupid question ... amm but where is the Marketplace app ? Just bought a HTC Magic today (HTC branded 32a) but i just can't find the Marketplace application ? In the list of installed Programs is zero :-(

yep, android devices in Indonesia are not GMS phone (the one that came with Google apps, and market.) Luckily, you can root your phone using this method :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=548096
however, some say this will VOID your warranty. Good luck!

Ohhhhh , is it like that ? Gee actually i wanted to avoid to root the Phone in advance of the the upcoming Sense UI update but well ... think i gotta risk this step. Thanks for now
Update: Thanks a lot, worked perfectly for me :-D

Skype for Wildfire

Does anyone have skype for Wildfire?

no skype for android so far.
there was a skype lite client but i think they stopped dev. on it.

I use Nimbuzz and works great,
i heard there is no skype for android but i wan't sure

hmm now i found this here http://www.skype.com/intl/en-us/get-skype/on-your-mobile/skype-mobile/android/ iam really confused now ???

Isn't it only available for specific phones listed on the website, is it?

Yes it seems so. I read somewhere else that till the end of the year there should be out a version for every android device. Hmm strange anyway.

Its Not Yet available for HTC wildfire. Even for Android they seem to have versions specific to phone models. I would suggest that everyone can visit http://m.skype.com from phone browser..and they can check periodically.

It seams that skype is out for android devices but I cannot find it on the market in wildfire...
Is there some problem with skype and this device?

Yes, not suppprted display res...

Can somebody provide the apk file?

you can install it via appbrain webinstaller, but at least for me, it crashed what ever i wanted to do

I also installed it with appbrain (and fastwebinstaller)
It opens fine, I can login en view my contacts, open the dialer, get a notification in the status bar whenever someone skypes me,
but when I try to press a contact to chat it just crashes...

I managed to install it also, but same problem here crashes all the time, uninstalled...
Too bad for skype, => sipdroid is the best program for me...

Zorkman, That dont really matter though, means you can use it anywere and mobile net is pretty cheap in the uk.

The thing is, the Skype looks ok on the Wildfire. I mean, i didn't notice any problems related to low resolution, just the Force Closing ones. Which is strange, because as far as I know the original response from the developer was that Skype DOES NOT support Wildfire's Low Resolution, and it DOES. 'll be waiting for someone with more info.

that might be right for inhabitants of the Empire, but I don't live in the UK, or a country with cheap mobile internet,
so it does matter to me

[Q] Buying a Trophy but i dont have Xbox live

Hi all,
i am interested to buy this phone, but i dont have an xbox.
does this mean i cant play games on it or can i just download games and install them? like downloading a cab file and installing it the way im doing it on my wizard right now?
and are there any other things is should know about this phone?
help is much appreciated.

There is no need for an xbox account. It really has nothing to do with WP7 at this point. You will have full access to xbox live titles as everyone else does; including thos who have xbox accounts.
I highly reccomend windows phone 7. It is the nicest OS and will ony get better when it gets updated later this year.

Thanks
thanks for the reply mate, thats good to hear, i have always liked wp7 more than sense or ios.
then ill be getting this one.
thanks!

market.android.com compatible with HD2?

I am running 2.3.7 with the latest Typhoon Rom and there is a limited time $.10 apps advertised in the market. 9 of the 10 apps show on the device but this app is on market.android.com but I purchased it yet it would not allow me to send it to my device... actually no apps will allow me to send to my device (likely because the HD2 isn't listed as a supported phone on their site.)
https://market.android.com/details?...mdhbWVsb2Z0LmFuZHJvaWQuQU5NUC5HbG9mdEE2SFAiXQ..
Any suggestions on how to get this game?

I was able to install all these 10cent apps except Asphalt and Swiftkey. So you are not alone with this issue. Maybe our HD2 is really incompatible (graphic chip) ..

My phone appears as HTC HD2 in android market. Running 2.3.5 CM7 Typhoon rom. Can the phone appear as a Desire HD, or something else?
Does anyone know how to change this?

I've seen on Youtube that Asphalt 6 is plays pretty well on the HD2... I want to buy it but I can't see it in the market either.
I'm pretty sure that there is a way to change the identity, I think I recall people talking about it in the past when they had market issues with all the apps not being visible. I'd love if someone had a solution for this problem!

Install 4share from the market, in the 4share app type "asphalt 6 apk" download, (not all download links work so don't get upset if you don't score out of your first try) enjoy.
Furthermore, there WAS a market compatibility fix for the SD android version. I'm not sure if the workaround works for NAND as well. But try to search for it.
good luck!

AndroidRevolution HD for note 2 1.1 DL

if anybody has a copy of the old AndroidRevolution HD 1.1 for Samsung Galaxy note 2 , i would really appericate it. I've been pulling my hair out trying to get ver 3.0 to work, but with no success. I assumed it would be as easy as 1.1 , but i was wong. One of my mistake was not making a backup after the 1.1 installation. So i'm stuck with an old image that atleast has CWM. So if anybody has this.. Thank you in advance!

thats what my repository is for
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1926506
hope it helps bro

This is great,thank you! but the links for the 1.0,1.1, and 2.0 are dead. I really appreciate the effort though. Hoping someone out there has 1.1

then mike must have taken them off...

I have 2.0 and I can Share it via dropbox, but would it help ya?

I can give it a try :fingers-crossed: , but if anything i'll hold on to it for a few unless i can't get 1.1

Why not let us disagnose your problem with 3.0?
AFAIK, 3.0 is much more improved than 1.1.

Here it is, Hope you can get it working. http://db.tt/WBP5iUSZ

Results are in and it WORKS!
With a huge grin on my face: Thank you
as to troubleshooting why 3.0 dosn't work for me, i honestly don't know what to tell you. I spent a lot of time researching it and i'm just dumb founded. If i had a spare note 2 i would try to get to the bottom of it, but alas thats not the case (too scared to brick my phone).

If you go to the main thread, it'll be there. Btw i was able to install 4.0 with no problems at all. Makes me wonder whats so different about 3.0 that makes it fail to install. Anybody have any ideas?

Revolution HD 19.0
Hi all,
First post ! I'm not totally new on this forum, I've been consulting them since my very first Android and Smart phone about 3 years ago when I bought the HTC Desire. I did create account back then in order to communicate with you guys, but I never got the privileges for posting so... I just kept reading.
New account made just now because I wanted to share my experience and maybe post a couple of questions (even tips, who knows) - and it does work now, which is nice ! So... Hello !!
I was an HTC protagonist and hated Samsung for their phones made of Taiwanese plastic and their Apple-like designs and commercial strategies... until my employer introduced a new Android application and provided us with new Samsung Galaxy Note 2 devices. Well - let's just say I was amazed on one hand by the speed and capabilities of my new device and disappointed on the other hand by my beloved HTC One X. It's just that - everything works better ! The only annoying bit was the keyboard, which is far less practical than the one on Sense... but that was easily set right with the installation of AI Keyboard and its Gingerbread theme.
So - my phone had just completed its very first charge after I unpacked it when I decided to root it immediately, install CMW6 recovery and flash it with Revolution HD 19.0 - which worked like a charm !
I'm very happy with this ROM ! My battery lasts clearly longer than that of my colleague's stock devices (about 48h with normal use - including a bit of gaming during number 2's, use of Wifi most of the time and Bluetooth in the car). The response is slightly faster too - for instance that app we use for work works just a little bit faster on mine. Same thing for Youtube, Facebook, Despicable Me (cool game :cyclops: ) and so on...
During the flashing it suggests the installation of some apps - well a few of them weren't installed after flashing although I did select them (I remember Maps was not installed for instance... unfortunately I don't remember what else I had to install manually). That means I'm not entirely sure all the tweaks suggested during the flashing were indeed enabled. I couldn't find any Revolution HD specific section in the settings (like you'd have on a Cyanogen ROM) - and couldn't find any app either to test and play with those tweaks. So can someone tell me if there's a way to find/modify those specific options/tweaks ?
What I also can tell is that one of my colleagues, who received the Note 2 the same day as I did, followed me with the rooting and flashing with his device... He seems to have been less lucky than me - he tells me every once in a while, when waking up the phone, he has no reaction when trying to unlock it (he just uses the screen swipe). He has to put it back to sleep and wake it up again before he can unlock it... Is this something that happens to anyone ?
So there you go - my experience is nearly flawless ! I love this ROM and will continue using it !
By the way : does anyone know how updates work with this ROM ? Do I have to backup my apps and data whenever a new Revolution HD ROM comes out for my phone and restore that backup after upgrade ? Or is there some kind of OTA-like update available ?

Well it was the first thread when searching for Revolution HD on this particular device - for one. And I wasn't allowed replying on the thread from the developer about Revolution HD 19.0.
Had I made a new thread about this, you'd have told me to look up other threads on the same topic before creating a new one...
Anyway, I sincerely apologize if I made your day worse somehow with my irrelevant post in such an old thread... I hope you will forgive me
