I can't find GMail in the market?

Is there somewhere else I can get it?

Just search XDA?

Thanks.
When I try that with AppMonster, I get "Parse Error: There is a priblem parsing the package".
Can you see GMail in the market?

The GMail from the Market is only available for devices with 2.2+. There's a reason why you can't see it in the Market.

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!

will it run on the X10 on 2.1? Its supposed to be froyo only right?

I have 2.3.3 and still no gmail... It's a magic.
Ah, seems as if Celcom (my current provider) is the problem. The Android Market website only lets me find GMail when I'm viewing all apps by Google (some can be seen), YouTube can't be installed, GMail neither. What the...? Some others too, I fail to see a pattern there (ROM Manager is amongst the list of banned apps too... but why GMail?).

Try installing market enabler to fake a different provider.

Can't get IM app to work

I have a stock never rooted samsung galaxy 2's im app to work. It will not even let me enter any information. When opening it crashes. Any ideas why?

Samsung not ready to use that app just yet. Maybe still setting up the server?

Works for me. Try setting it up via the Social Hub under "menu" and "add accounts." It support Windows Messenger, Google Talk, and Yahoo! Messenger. If you're using something else that might be why it's not working.

I tried that also and I just get an error message. Only with the im apps though.

Do a hard reset. Like I said, it works fine for me. Do you have any other messaging apps installed that might be conflicting? Maybe try setting it up when you're connected to Wi-Fi.

Ive done a hard reset and i am on wifi. its freaking me out

Does anyone have the apk? I have tried everything but that to get it to work.

Doesn't work for me either, either using the IM app or trying to add via the Social Hub app.
I get an error everytime.

Multiple Google Voice accounts?

so basically i want to use two google voice accounts to text from on my phone. I've tried editing the .apk but the recompiled apk force closes. Can anyone help me try to get this to work? Anytips? I'm just trying to basically install the same app twice and have it use diff. db files.

I'd be very interested in that as well.

You'd have to do more than installing it twice. It would have to be re-written.

Well yeah I know that. You can't install the same app twice with out modifications to it. Then It would have to use a diff.Db for the account info. This is my first time messing with an apk so I have no idea how to make this work

How do you make it not? I tried using Google Voice, but it did it automatically and it took forever to revert.

Titanium Backup (paid version only maybe?) has profiles to load different user data files for an app. You'd have to switch back and forth though. It would probably be easiest to try keeping a web browser logged into Google Voice your second account, setting the user agent to a desktop.
Or just use a second browser app only for this. You won't get instant notifications of incoming texts, but that's about all you can do for now. I don't see Google adding anything like this to the service, honestly.

i think the idea is to have the instant notifications. I too have been looking for a solution to this problem for some time. i use multiple voice lines for work, one for hiring/recruiting and one for customers that i tell them is my "personal cell"
i thought the best solution would be to have two voice apks installed but i'm not finding a way to do that.

Couldn't you just set up the separate account to forward to your phone account? You could also go into your GMail settings and set filters to forward all notifications to one account as well.
This would be much easier than hacking the apk...am I wrong?

Hangouts is pretty much just a Google Talk replacement at the moment. It doesn't unify anything.

Well, it totally screws up the easy way of cross compatible situation that Gtalk provided with XMPP. So many Messengers on various Computer Systems, incl. Android and iOS could connect to a Gtalk account. Now thats all over. What has that to do with unifying ? Sounds more to me like "limiting".
I suppose, since Gtalk was a major part in Android, one that I believe cannot/could not be uninstalled (please correct me if I am wrong here), we can't uninstall Google Hangout now. Right ? Since if it replaces Talk, it must be a part of the System that can't be uninstalled. Or please tell me that its no problem to uninstall it ?
Any info is appreciated.
Thank you.

I don't like the fact that we can't see the online/offline status of the people in our friend lists anymore!

It's no problem to uninstall it. You can uninstall with titanium backup.

Thank you, that worked.
Does anyone know if Google will also disable the Gtalk Servers with the use for Gtalk compatible XMPP apps on for example PC or if that is still running a while ?

I uninstalled it with Titanium Backups. Now its gone. Can I go back to Gtalk again and if, will it next time be automatically updated with Hangouts again since Google wants to get rid of Gtalk ? Does anyone know if Gtalk (in general) still works as for the Servers, so I could use it on a PC with some alternate Messenger.
Any info on that is appreciated.

You can go back to gtalk,put the file back to the path,and reboot
When I updated gtalk to hangouts, PC termination had worked as usual.
I think automatically update of gtalk will be successful next time.

If I understand you correct, I could put in TALK again but next time (or soon) it will be updated automatically to Hangout again, since that is what Google will force on everyone. So there is no point in putting Talk back I suppose. I just hope they keep the XMPP Servers running for Talk to be used on other Systems like PC. So many nice apps that can be used with Gtalk. Pidgin, Miranda etc.

yes, you are right.
I also like XMPP Servers, but talk combine with google+ message, what a pity.

If you're on a computer, go to Google plus page and turn hangouts on, there is a green line under the picture of contacts who are online. My list of contacts that show are just frequently used ones though. I know this isn't the same but maybe it will show up in the app soon.

ya its a great design but really missing the simple facts.
GOOGLE if you're reading this, combine all the servers into one.

it is still called talk and still looks the same, however apparently I already have the hangout update... what can I do? I rebooted my nexus twice and talk is still there.

It doesnt look the same at all actually. Lol. if it looks the Same for you, it hasn't been rolled out to you yet. there is a phandroid article with a link to the app itself and you can just install it manually.

well it still says talk up left... thanks, I might do it manually, can't wait even tough I never used google talk :laugh:
---------- Post added at 05:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:56 PM ----------
finally, looks completely different. love it.

according to phandroid it will support sms in a future update.

I removed it completely. If I can't have Google Talk, I dont want that Hangout stuff at all. Google totally screwed up something great XMPP cross-platform stuff which no Google+ or Google Hangout can replace. Not everything wants to be done on a phone, tablet or Browser.

K9 email apk

Hi, I am looking for a K9 email client apk that works with android 2.1 on the NST. The oldest I found needed Android 4+....
Anyone can point me to a working and safe link?
Thanks!

According to the K-9 Mail GitHub, the attached version should run on 2.1 (I haven't tried it).

Thanks, unfortunately I get an error "There is a problem parsing the package"....

Rats.
Google is your friend. Search for the app with a version number that (according to the Wiki) should run on 2.1
Of course, that's what I did, but you might have more luck. Or (hopefully) someone who is using it will see this thread. There are a number of old threads with app packages attached. A copy might be in one of them. I remember people touting it long ago.
Edit: a search of the forum turned up no old copies of the app for me, but I did run across a post complaining about the wake-lock in K9 and Gmail. If you're not wedded to K9, I use a very simple email app which does not skulk in the background waiting for a connection. That means you have to manually check mail. You might want to take a look at it.

YEs, that email client is working (the email.apk one). I had to set the google account to accept sign-ins from "less-secure" apps though; Also, hotmail does not seem to be working, but at least gmail does.... Thanks!

OK, so never say "never". The attached K9 apk file installs on my NST and displays at least the first page I figure that's worth looking at. BTW, on that first page it states that it does not work with Hotmail....
Anyway, give it a whirl.

I found an old apk for hotmail and that seems to work (even imports contacts from hotmail)...so I should be all set (re gmail + hotmail)....
Browser (Opera), email (K9 and hotmail), RSS (greader), news (BBC, Engadget,...); readers (kindle; have not tried Google books app yet). a few games (Chess Pro, Landrule, ...), and a few useful utilities (Button Savior, Mathsapp calculator, ...) and the Go Launcher.
Also was a lot of work (finding apk that still work under Android 2.1)....I will probably look into alternative e-readers later this year (such as inkBook Prime and Co)....

Yep, kind of an interesting scavenger hunt at times. There are two packages of apps which might contain something you'd like to try in this thread.
