I cannot get Fast Web Installer to work on my Droid 2. It worked fine on my Droid Eris until I rooted it and put a 2.2 ROM on it. Then I just recently upgraded to the Droid 2 and am having the same issue. When I am viewing an app on the Appbrain webpage and click on Install, instead of getting the permissions pop-up where I would just click OK and the app would be begin downloading to my phone, instead it just says "Added ______ " (see attached screenshot) and the app never downloads.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled both the Appbrain app and the Fast Web Installer, and have "enabled" Fast Web Installer several times. Nothing seems to help.
Any ideas?

Has NO ONE else had this problem?
What is Fast Web Installer? Never used it so I haven't had a problem. lol
But seriously what is it? is it in the Market?
I have the same problem now, I"m on ATT Captivate, when on Eclair 2.1 it worked great, I love the app.
Now I installed Froyo and when I choose install nothing happens, but when I cancel on web, a pop up comes up:
Application not found
The application was not found in the list of installed applications
So the installer never happens.
The Fast Web Installer is apparently tied to the ANDROID_ID of the phone. There's a bug affecting a bunch of phones, especially the Droid 2, that prevents the device from properly generating a unique ANDROID_ID. Some value unique to each device was not set, or something, and the ANDROID_ID is supposed to be a hash of that value.
Consequently, there are a ton of phones floating around with the ANDROID_ID set to the same value as (I think) an emulated Android device: 9774d56d682e549c.
Also, it seems that some custom ROMs are subject to the same bug, or have copied the same ANDROID_ID. So phones that used to have a unique value may have lost it.
A lot of developers tailored their apps to use the ANDROID_ID as a unique identifier, so this bug is screwing with a lot of people.
My Droid 2 had this ANDROID_ID from the time I bought it, and through several ROMs I put on. I edited a database and manually changed the ANDROID_ID to what I hope is a truly random value, and now Fast Web Installer works properly.
I don't know if I have set myself up for future conflicts by editing my ANDROID_ID, but so far everything is working.
Can you give some instructions for how to do that?

SUCCESS!!!
I got Fast Web Installer to work!! Here's what I did:
I had to be rooted and have BusyBox installed first
1. Downloaded & installed Android ID Changer: http://adaptiveeng.blogspot.com/
2. Changed my Android_ID to a random 16 character ID (Hex)
3. Re-installed AppBrain and Fast Web and BAM! It works!!
Sounds like a solid solution. You could add [SOLVED] to your thread title if you don't have anymore problems with it.

So I was able to get DL17 working last night. Now I'm having an odd issue with FB. I'm attempting to update the factory FB, which is apparently around version 1.2. I attempted to update to the latest version (1.6.1) and it keeps crashing while loading. Everything downloads fine and says it successfully installs, but it keeps crashing.
What am I doing wrong?

The facebook official app really sucks, badly, each update keeps getting worse. i would recommend use friendscaster
yeah, you aren't doing anything wrong. it's 99% likely to be the app

if you have root i would suggest using titanium backup to delete your facebook and then update thru the market, my wife was having this issue
I have Friendcaster on my droid... I'm not completely sold on it, either. Although, the paid version might be better than the free one.
I was able to send her the apk for 1.6.0 (the latest is 1.6.1) and THAT apparently updated just fine. If she has any issues updating from now on, I may point her to Friendcaster.
I just use the mobile site

I did that on my old Blackberry, as the FB app for it bit. But, I like the options some of the apps vs. the mobile site. The problem I'm finding between the 3 is inconsistencies of what you can do. I know I used one to tag friends. I know the regular FB app, you can't add check-in places (you can with mobile site or Friendcaster). Seems odd that the 3 would be different.
Touch.facebook.com is better than the m.facebook.com in my opinion

I thought you were supposed to be able to, but I never saw the + to add one. It really wasn't a HUGE issue, but I was trying to add one for my house and my in-laws house. Had to use Friendcaster to do that.
Just start typing the name of the place you want to add and when Facebook can't find it, it will say "add [check in place]"

Ah. the other directions I found online were different. They are set now, but at least I know for the future.
The symptom is, each time I switch on my tablet, I receive a notification in lower right corner promoting something like lucky draw, game, etc. If I click on the notification, it automatically starts downloading apk. The apk is always named like yyyymmddxxxxxxxxxxx.apk. I never run those apks, I guess they are not friendly. How can I check which app I installed is doing this?

First check what you have installed recently. Could be one of those apps give spam notifications. I saw something similar on my bro-in-law phone and that was because he installed some kind of "enhancement" program to make his phone run more efficient (it didn't help bytheway).
Also, since you didn't say what OS you're running, 4.0+ has the option to disable notifications when you go to settings>applications>app name. If you find its an app you need, then that might help.
If you thinks its beyond this, then install lookout or norton from the market.
It's not malware, they're called push notification ads. Just download "Ad Blocker" (root required) from the market and it will tell you which app(s) is doing this. You can also choose to delete it from within the app.
Pretty handy.

Try installing "Air Push Detector" from the market.
my tablet is using 4.0.4 but i cannot find the setting you mentioned. in settings-application-application name, there is no notification setting.
i tried but there is no app found. i still get notification ad.

I don't have it now, I will load it when I get it next time.
However I have the list of apps I installed because I sent it to the author of push detector. How can I send it to you? I just don't want to post it here.
I have another finding, which seems odd to me: I set the home page of chrome to be blank, and I double checked that, but each time I open the browser it always opens a search page with a lot of informations (looks like a portal but I don't like it). How can I know which app replaces my home page with such rubish?
Is it possible the 3G provider does this kind of things? (notification ads and home replacement)?

No, your network provider would have nothing to do with push notification ads or homepage replacement. And as for setting your homepage in Google chrome, are you talking about the desktop version? Because I don't believe you can make that selection on the mobile version, unless I'm missing something?
BTW, you can send that list to me in a PM if you'd like.

Try this app, it will tell you every app that has a shady ad network and you can delete it. A friend of mine had an app that was creating a ton of shortcuts all over her home screens.

In Chrome settings you can set your home page. But it seems it's the 3G provider that replaces the home page for me.

No it's not rooted.
This is pretty cool. You can mirror your Note on your PC and control it using your PC's keyboard and mouse. It's a great way of editing and reviewing S Notes on your PC while they are still in native form on the Note. It connects either over USB (with debugging turned on) or over Wi-Fi.
Here's the desktop app...
http://www.mobizen.com/en/?page_id=236
Here's the Play store app for the Note...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...51bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5yc3VwcG9ydC5tdmFnZW50Il0.
I can confirm this works well with the Note 10.1, thanks for the heads-up. :good:
Edit: You have to download the APK from their website as the market version reports it is incompatible with the Note. The downloaded version has the correct skin for the note.
Great app but it`s not showing the proper skin for me (downloaded and installed the apk from their site version 1.0.1.26).
Anyone wanna post the apk file, play store says it's incompatible with ALL my toys and can't find the apk file on the mobizen site.....
Doesn't help I just finished work and have to start again in 7 1/2 hours....

The desktop app reads the device's model number when it connects. I have a N8000 and it worked fine. It also worked for my N7100. I don't know about the N8010/13 or non-international versions of Samsung's devices. The company that built the app is in Germany and probably doesn't know the N8013 even exists (as well as Samsung phones with carrier specific model numbers).
Well it`s woking fine with my note2 (n7100) too and showing with the proper skin. I have the n8000 but for some reason it`s not showing the proper skin. Anyway as long as it`s working ..... Thx for the great recommendation!

This is a great tool, thank you very much for sharing! I have it installed and it is working very well.
This is exactly what I was looking for, something that allows me to easily connect to my Note and utilize S notes (or whatever) with my computer keyboard.
I have plenty of work documentation that I can now easily copy and paste into S notes, and this saves me a lot of time retyping everything. :good:

Reading the user reviews in Google Play, a lot state that they took away WIFI. Can someone confirm that? I'd really love this if it could be used over WIFI.
Maybe downloading the apk from the link provided early instead of downloading it from Google Play will still have WIFI available??
Can you tell me how you copy paste into the tab using this tool.. I want to copy text from PC and paste into tab using mobizen screen.

After you install it on the device and start it, it asks you if you want to download the wireless module (APK) to use it over Wi-Fi. Still works for me. Once it's set up, all you need to do is start the desktop app and it automatically finds and starts the app on the device if its connected to Wi-Fi.

I have a similar issue though it lets me log in and read my feed but when I try to update status it closes on me. So now I've uninstalled the app and logged in through chrome (which has a similar ui appearance as the app does) and then I made a home screen short cut for my news feed. So its not a lot different than having the actual app. Honestly might be better for performance overall since the app is kind of a data/battery hog.
But I guess Ill ask if you have the issue with duplicate sms threads in Google messenger app. I had to switch to hangouts which works but just wondering if you have the issue and/or a fix.
I am also stock 2.1 but on stock kernel. Unrooted and locked bootloader.
Looks like it could be an issue with the Facebook app itself. Seems to be a lot of issues being reported after the last update. Mine is the same won't load.
Same problem here. Able to log in facebook app but it crashes the moment it goes to the newsfeed. clean wipe hasn't helped. :/

You can fix this by uninstall Facebook and install Facebook v46.0.0.26.153. I'm not able to post link on xda right now so just google it !
EDIT :
The beta version 49 seems to work too.
I guess it has to do with individual app permissions settings in OP2. Some apps will malfunction if they are not designed with some permissions restricted. Can you check it if all permissions are active for facebook app in settings?
I am also facing the same issue Facebook crashes just after logging in ....
alternate solution is download Facebook Lite from play store by the time issue get fixed

Facebook Lite is not available in France. So I use the v44 and it works.
it's a facebook issue, not a OPT issue. If you read in play store, many users have same problem and use other devices

This is good advice IMHO. Just use chrome for now. Very similar layout, works flawlessly there's nothing more I can say apart from that I will keep the app and just wait for the fix.
