Android Market installations now available via your browser!

Ok, so this was announced earlier today and I saw it and thought "meh". I had a browse about and still thought "meh", but then I discovered the fact that I can install apps on my phone directly from the browser.
When I first tried it, it didn't work, but every other app after that was installing on my phone within seconds of my clicking the install button. So basically, I can install apps on my phone from any internet ready computer.
Thanks Google. You just made something sweet a little sweeter!
Enjoy, my friends

Yes mate. I am genuinely surprised at how seamless it is. I had my phone in front of the screen and clicked "install" and it immediately started downloading on my phone. It's a VERY nice feature!

make sure you setup your gmail account on the phone and access the market then exit, then it will work. I had the same issue until I did that, cause the FAQ says that will happen if you havent visited market recently.
Now this is cool, utterly great find, no more market on the phone.
BTW, you dont have to access market with https, you can access the same page without the cert error using http.

Check under My market account and then go to the tab "settings" see if your phone appears there, make model carrier. cause both my HD2's show up, there. also on that same screen on the top right there is a link "dont see your device" might be of help to your situation.

Great stuff is this!

I can't get apps to download to my device. When in my PC browser, I am logged into market, can see my device in the pull down menu and it says it will be installed onto my device shortly, but nothing happens. I tried rebooting, logging out of Talk and back in, downloading the app directly from the market android app (which works, but doesn't solve the app delivery via browser), and also trying downloading from my android browser. No luck. Anyone have any ideas?
EDIT: Nevermind. Flashed pongster's latest Ginger Rom and all is good.

need help with some minar issues...

hi
well, first of all, i bought Backstab game, which asked me to download
about 666 mb of game files, whenever it reaches 30% it stops , i got and error
and as me to start all over again, and when i do , the same thing happen?
2nd, why there is no video call in the dialer?
is there any way to add this feature
last help i need, how to stop the vibration when i click
on a number in the dialer, i searched everywhere but could not find
anything to stop, how to do it??
well, i asked alot
thanx in advance

1. Can you tell us what the error was? The rough context of it.
2. Nope it's not exactly like iOS. Unless someone makes a custom dialer. In the end what is the use there is no infrastructure to support it yet anyway. You could use Google talk or skype or anything similar though
3. I can't help you on this right know because I don't have a play with me but when I get it I will look into it. Did try looking through all the settings?

1-" A problem occurred and the download could not be completed successfully, do you want to restart the download? "
I've downloaded Asphalt 6 with no problems, and I've sent gameloft 3 times about this problem, and for some reason they still did not respond.
2- this is ugly, i used to use this feature a lot , i hope SE , or google add it soon.
3- yes i did , looked everywhere, nothing about it, i had X10 mini, and this option was available, can't find it here.

is it possible u are downloading to the play v your sd card. 666*.3=~200. could be the case that u are running out of space. seems like after installing a few apps/games that you'd have 200 meg left which is where u are hitting the error.

@persain
i had the same idea, but how to solve this??
i think it should go directly to SD card
cuz i downloaded Asphalt 6 , and had no problem
??

wooow
the support of gameloft is really bad
they told me sorry we cant help you
and refunded me

@ysfm
Not sure how to fix it unless u see a "Save to" option when u go to download the game. (dont have a play yet, its in the mail so i cant test)
but at least u got your money back, would suck to not be able to install and be out the $$.

Market Not compatible - No app paid

Hello,
I know there is tones of topics about it, but i really cant find any solution about it.
The most annoying problem is the not compatible apps, that should be compatible. I use the market on my computer which show paid apps (my phone doesnt show it). And normal apps like Vlingo are shown not compatible.
Worst some app i installed before are now shown not compatible anymore.
I changed room from lightning to Revolution (2.7.1), but still get the same probleme.
Anyway, how can it be from my phone if my account on computer show it not compatible. It must be from my account right ?
Im in china now, (bought the phone in France) and my google account is French. Can it be a problem with the localisation ?
Another weired thing on my phone, Market 3.1.5, when i go to Filter app (sorry i dont know the name in english for the option) to choose what level we want to show.
I must select FOR ALL before select Level3 and next must select level 3 to select level2. Shouldn't it be the reverse ? I mean, first people would like to get the most safe app, Level 1 and after get less safe, Level 2 - 3.
Is it the same on your device ?
Thanks all, i'm very tired of it, and it ruin my android experience... got SGS2, and cant install regular apps...

I tried it, it doesnt change anything. I only have access to free apps and some random apps. I cant even install the update of the game Cut the Rope, that i could install before. Something must had changed...
Oh but one thing though, the paid apps are back with the Market enabler.
Bust still nothing for the not compatible apps.

It's the creator of the app that decides which devices should be able to buy/download their app, if they have decided you can't have it or buy it that's their decision.
If you want an app to be available and wonder why it's not showing for SGS2 send the developer an e-mail and perhaps they'll tell you why it's not available.

Have you changed the LCD Density? I did and a load of my apps came up as not compatible until I reverted back to the standard DPI and rebooted.

No its clearly not the problem, I see people commenting apps and sign SGS2, and mine is not compatible... Im sure those app should work on the SGS2 but not on mine...

I tried change it, the defaut was 240 and I read that it was actually the standard, so i tried to force it again to 240 but it didnt change. (or its not the right number ?)

If you're using a Chinese SIM card you will get the Chinese version of market which doesn't have paid apps. That's why they are shown as incompatible or not shown at all. You need to use your French SIM or use marketenabler with the old market if you want the paid apps.

Yep I figuered that out for the paid apps, but i still got uncompability with the marketenabler...
Anyway thanks for your answers

Marketenabler doesn't work properly with the new market. You have to downgrade to the old one.

[Q] Use a URL for live wallpaper?

So, I want to use this URL for my live wallpaper on my Note 3:
http://earth.nullschool.net/
It's the weather in real-time of the earth.
Is there any way to use this (I know, if I don't have an internet connection such as going underground on the subway, i'll lose the image), but once I regain internet connection, it should reconnect. Anyone know of an app or a way to do it on the Note 3?
Thanks in advance.

hi ,
i cannot answer you with above ,but i can point you to a close " 2nd option" ??
i would also call it " basic" real weather options and easier to manage ?
i have been using it for a period of time and its a good option, it has live wallpaper option ,and its battery friendly and you could use it offline .!
(it has settings for temp, precipitation,clouds wind etc.)
however
one thing i would like to ask with your " url live wallpaper " idea ...? is that not going to drain your battery ?,
consider, been connected whole time to internet ..losing internet,regaining internet ?
what if another app/game ( on phone ) starts using data connection etc ..??
If you are interested ,you can take a look on Play store name of app ..MeteoEarth
( unfortnately it a paid app , therefore i wont post link ,sorry )
see screenshots attached
good luck

Considering that on touchwiz there's about 15 other things already draining my battery one more thing won't matter. Your option is okay, I just want to know if it's possible to use a URL for a live wallpaper?
Thank you for the advice, just not what I want.

Phone been acting weird... need help

My phone has been acting really weird for a few months now and I can't figure it out. Is there a way to find all apps on the phone user installed, system, and hidden?? My phone isnt rooted; well I havent rooted it nor does it say it has. For instance earlier when I pushed my volume button there was an accessibility guy there nothing would open when I pushed him and while looking threw my accessibility settings and checking here and there to see if he was still there, he just vanishes without me turning anything off. Like WTF. Theres other weird things but that's just the most recent 1. And it's got me very concerned. Pls help!!

Your probably have a setting on in Accessibility like visibility enhancements or screen reader, you'll need to turn it off.
For list of apps you can view them in Settings > Apps ( Tap the 3 dots on the top right and tap "Show system apps" )

That's what I thought at first so I went threw my accessibility settings and they r all off. He hasn't been back so far that I have noticed. I know there r some spyware and malware that u can hide from being seen or make it look like some random app. Is there a way to use like adb or android studio to scan it for something that shouldn't be there.

I'm not sure too much about malware, I do know that Samsung has their own "Security Features" in Settings > Device Care > Security if you want to scan your device, also try Play Protect.
Seeing that the Accessibility issues are out of the way, what other problems are you experiencing ?

I saw the guy again but this time I kinda got to look at the running services and I found this. Could that have something to do with it?? As u can kinda tell, once I forced stopped that cloud messaging service the time changed on it and went under the dual messenger service. But as I was saying beforehand, google play services always had a pop up saying using headphones in the background. But my data doubled in the last 2-3 months, things I download will just disappear and pictures (like my phone will restore itself a few days but not my messages or calls), my phone also keeps adding a new camera gallery like it's not connected anymore and is a new camera same with the screenshot folder. Theres also a few other things

So Cloud Messaging's time would change because after you stopped the process it restarted itself. But the other things make it look like your phone is being haunted :laugh:
Can you send your list of installed Applications ?

But these are the apps that look suspicious to me :

If I were you, I'd get rid of them.
If this doesn't fix your issues. I recommend you reset the device and do not install apps like this.
