If only Amazon wasn't wrong.... - Droid X General

Went into the Amazon Appstore, to see this on the right side Device list...
Its a shame that Amazon is wrong and I'm not using a DX 2.

daily free app so should last one day or so..
you need to buy it on your PC or phone first before it can be downloaded to the TF.. purchase on the TF gives a 'device not supported' error.
The game itself is playable..much like the amazon version of PVZ..but the graphics are not optimized for the tablet..

I download and use the free apps from the Amazon app store on my TF all the time. I only have the Appstore installed on the TF, not my desktop. Not sure why you are getting the error about not being supported.
Edit: Ah, UK, maybe that's it.

This is an issue with Peggle, not amazon apps.
Clicking Get App from the Appstore application on the TF gives a device not supported error.
I got the same thing, from the US.
Instead, I went to the amazon website, clicked buy (for $0.00) and then went into the TF and went to My Apps and clicked install.

Seems that Amazon have got this marked as incompaible with the Transformer, Xoom & A500 but compatible with the Galaxy Tab 10.1.
Wonder how much Samsung paid for that
Anyone know how to install apps outside the US? I live in the UK and tried to install a free app and it said not available to my country.

I'm from the UK and I followed this guide
http://android.modaco.com/content/s...tore-from-outside-the-us-including-paid-apps/
(I use the same US Amazon account to access the Amazon Cloud Music service, if you need to know how to get the Android App to allow you access to that let me know and I'll send you those details)
installed it in my xformer just fine. and its not for tablets really, the resolution for this game is def for phones, however it does fill the screen
I downloaded Peggle from the amazon app store and installed it on my rooted Milestone. Much like plants vs zombies it loads up and crashes after loading the logo and hourglass. Using the same apk I've got it working on a galaxy Vibrant and captivate. Could it be because my phone is rooted or is the milestone just not powerful enough to run it?

No market access

is it true this can't access the general android market?
i trust xda will be able to add the normal market to it

The Amazon Appstore developers pay no fee for the first year, and have no restrictions regarding their locations (as the Android Market imposes). So, I can easily imagine that many people will want to have their apps listed there. I guess you can check today, how many apps are there that you can find on the Android Market but are not on the Amazon Appstore. Actually, I know of several examples of the opposite.
I know quite a few apps I use regularly that are not available in Amazon Appstore, Dolphin HD comes to mind immediately.

Yeah, that's the downside to having such a customized version of the OS - it's not receiving official Google certification.
The Amazon app store is growing, and if the Kindle Fire sells well enough, which it should, more developers will be inclined to submit their apps.
I just hope amazon improves the app store experience, it's still miles behind Googe's, which isn't so great itself.
I recall reading something a while back that if one uninstalls the Amazon Apps Store from your device, the apps you downloaded from Amazon Apps Store cease to function until you reinstall the Amazon App Store applet.
Urban legend? Sounds a bit hinky but disturbing if true.
I use the amazon app store on my HTC desire.
I'll uninstall and let you know tomorrow what happens with all the apps from Amazon APp Store.
But regardless, I would still keep the Amazon App Store because it gives you one free app every day.

Completely true. I discovered it by accident when I deleted the App Store app, then tried to play my 'free app of the day' copy of Angry Birds Rio a few days later. No dice! Worked fine again once I reinstalled Amazon App Store, however.
Can also confirm: any amazon app store apps must have the amazon app store present on the device to work. Kind of a pain in the butt to be honest but hey, it's their store they can impose those restrictions.
When submitting app to Amazon Appstore you can choose to use DRM they provide - that might be the reason for this requirement. Apps that don't use DRM will probably work without the Amazon Appstore on device. (but I might be wrong)

Amazon App Store not showing apps?

My amazon app store does not work properly. For instance, when i search for root explorer on the amazon app store on my fire, nothing shows up. But when I go to amazon.com, root explorer is supposedly available for purchase, did anyone else have this issue?
thanks.
Root Explorer was removed from the stock Kindle Fire appstore weeks ago.
why is it still available for purchase online then?

Meant to quote you, not thank you. They f-ed up or are lazy. Also, you can get it on the android market.

Google Play vs Amazon Appstore
Thank you for the information, we will pass it on to our Kindle customers.
It would be an interesting A>B to see how Amazon App Store competes with Google Play. Is Amazon trying to be a little more competitive?
This would be nice since Amazon truly has a great product.
no longer
This deal was supposed to go till the 31st. I just checked and the apps are back up to full price. However Let's Break Stuff (game) is free today.

bbanghyung,
Bummer. Maybe Google Play Store offers more for free? I have this installed
on our Kindle and find Google Play to be very aggressive. Lot's of free
games.
Yeah, I'm loving google play.

Just won a Kindle Fire HD on eBay which gives registration error ... work around?

I just won and paid for it today (hasn't shipped yet) a Kindle Fire HD that receives the message "There was an error while registering your Kindle. Please try again later" when trying to register it on an Amazon account. It didn't have any bidders so I bid cheap and one thinking there must be a fix for it so I can register it with my Amazon account. So could I do it?
If not I can still root and put a customer ROM on it and access the Play Store right? I would like it to work with my Amazon account too though as I have a lot of books purchased from there.
So what is the prognosis for this?
Yes, that sounds like it will be easily fixable with a custom ROM, but it also sounds like you may never be able to register that Kindle on stock OS.

Would I be able to install a custom ROM and be able to register it with Amazon?

Unless you pick Kinology, there is no real "registering it with Amazon" on a custom ROM. You will be able to download the Amazon Appstore just fine and log in, if that's what you were wondering.

If you really wanted to use the stock software or Kinology, you could spend about $35 and get a new motherboard, and swap it out with the old one. Once you power it on for the first time with the new motherboard, Amazon will think it's a different Kindle, and let you register it.
A bit of a drastic step, but... it works.
