Moving/sharing appear between phone and xoom

I have several paid apps which I'd like to xfer to my xoom. Is this possible? I don't have the xoom yet but am going to buy the wifi version.

If they are paid, im prettyy sure when you log into your google account, they will load right up.
Thus preventing you having to pay for the same app twice

All your apps on on your Google account on your phone will install to your xoom was long as its compatible with the xoom. I have even bought apps on my phone then used the web based market to install them to my xoom. You only buy the app once

Your apps are tied to the Google account, not the device.

Does Xoom wifi only have any trouble with market?

Some guys in the Galaxy Tab thread are reporting problems with GTab wifi not being able to download some apps from Android Market.
I'm a few days from buying a Xoom here in Brasil. I am thinking of wifi only model but I have to be sure that Market can be used as in the 3G model

I have a wifi only Xoom, Market works great.

I don't have any issues with the market here. But the Galaxy Tab uses the 2.2 market, not the tablet market as far as I recall.

I should say there are a couple of apps that the Wifi Xoom doesn't play nice with. Including XDA and Pandora.

I actually have a question about the market, how do I find tablet optimized apps?

Only trouble I have with the market is what I'm assuming everyone else is having. Can't leave comments, can't browse by new released apps, and when browsing for apps, any app you've already installed, it will still say "Install or Purchase".

How I got to buy apps on the Xoom wifi

Hi,
When I got the Xoom wifi I was hoping to see all apps, free and paid and be able to purchase them. But as I found out, living in the caribbean doesn't allow me to view tablet apps and paid/purchase apps.
Basically this is what I did. It seems to work sometimes, but enough that I was able to get all apps I wanted. Even purchased quite a few. Basically this is what I did and hopefully it can help some of you out there.
1.I rooted my Hero and installed and enabled market enabler. I also opened the market and surfed around a bit. Left market open.
2a.On my PC using a VPN connection I surfed to market and was able to see tablet optimized apps section and purchase apps.
b.In some cases it would not allow me to send the installation to the xoom. So I send it to my Hero and make a backup using Atro. At the same time I put another VPN connection on the rooted Xoom wifi and installed "Paid Apps enabler" and set it to T-mobile. When I installed the APK, market would detect either an update or the tablet version and all would be fine.
Note: noticed that sometimes it would not allow me to purchase on the PC, so I would close the browser and surf a bit in the market on the Hero. Restart the browser on the PC and it would start working again.
I know this is confusing and a bit difficult, but it seems to work fine. Really hope there is a much easier method for us international users. Also as many have mentioned market enabler doesn't work with the wifi xoom.

Have you tried tethering your internet through an American proxy? I bet that would work

I haven't rooted my WiFi xoom as I'm expecting the imminent update so I can't tell if adding a proxy works.
I live in China and it's been bothering me like hell that I can't purchase any paid or country/carrier restricted app in the market, such as kindle, google earth etc.. I have tried factory restored the xoom, disabled any location service and set up a US VPN before starting the market app, still no luck. I wonder how Google managed to determine that my location was not in the States. However I rooted another MZ604 and used market enabler which did work in terms carrier restricted app, didn't try the paid app because it's not mine.
I'm hoping the update will fix this issue for WiFi only xoom. If it doesn't I will root it and try your way. Thanks for the info!

[Q] Google+ for Legend

Hi All
Does anyone got Google+ on your Legends? Since I don't see it at Android Market and wonder is it device or country/operator restriction...

I have it, and I've reinstalled it while in three different countries. Vietnam's, Japan's, and Canada's Android Markets all have it.
If you have root, use MarketEnabler (from the Market) to fake an American carrier and download the app.
Otherwise look in the General forums for an .apk. ;-)

I did not have any problems downloading it from the Market...

Here you go this apk for Google+.

Thanks everybody but I really wonder why on earth its restricted from the Market and who is the guy (in Google or operator) who suppose to click "magic button"?
It sounds absolutely ridiculous since I can use it through browser but not native Google app from Android phone.

I downloaded Google+ when I was in Singapore though. The Market in SG seems to carry this. Can't find it while I tried to search on the MY Market.
Cheerios.

Best offline navigation app?

So I've got my 25$ credit burning a hole in my Google wallet, I've long ago spent my money on the paid versions of the apps I want and to the devs I want to support.
Since the time Google maps/navigation became nearly perfect I've always used that, now I have this amazing tablet that would make an amazing GPS! Just I'd like to have offline maps as it would be nice not to always tether it or per pick out my route in advance
I looked into copilot but not sure how good it is, mixed reviews not to mention like 4 different versions of nearly the same app on the market. Any one bothered much with offline GPS? Any recommendations?

Sygic is pretty good, I use it every day

I see its only a free trial in market, how much is the full maps for US? And is the only option to pay directly to sygic.com or can the full version be purchased via the app itself?

USA version cost $29.48 (at today's euro exchange rate) and can only be purchased via their website. This may suggest you may need to pay for each android device you intend to install this software. Maybe someone who already purchased this can chime in.

It seems the license can be bound only to one device at time. Look here:
https://support.sygic.com/sygic/topics/can_i_use_one_license_on_multiple_devices
However, you have up to 5 license transfers for free, look here:

Sygic is very good. A couple of years ago when I first purchased it was a little lacking but now it's awesome.
