[Q] Words with friends update - Acer Iconia A500

The new update for Words is showing as incompatible in the market. Does anybody have a way to get it on the A500?

I borrowed a friend's phone for 5 minutes and used astro to copy it off, along with the Sony live view app..
No idea why it's saying incompatible, but it works fine

think it's the cross device compatibility, not to mention the 72 hours per turn... you don't have to jump on right away to take your turn and the older crowd can jump in.
i have a few games with friends and their parents... check it once a day, and i'm good
if they made a GOOD RTS on android that offers those 2 options and i'll be happy.

Does anyone else's crash (the tablet version) after you submit the word and the ad shows up?
I should be happy though at least this version I can use the blank tiles, without it crashing.

MLB.tv: No Streaming for Epic 4G

Well - thank you Samsung.
MLB.tv updated the AtBat2011 app today to include live streaming on Android devices. Woohoo, right?
Well, not so much. Because Samsung has delayed the official FroYo release for the Epic, the Evo is the only Sprint Device that is supported for live video streaming. Of course, I'm sure my ACS FrozenROM could handle the requirements, but because the Epic isn't officially supported the video option doesn't even show up.
I doubt there are any tricks to spoof device ID, but if anybody has any ideas, that would be great.
Otherwise, I just have one more reason not to buy another Samsung device again. Or, more properly, one more reason to be upset about the FroYo release (or lack thereof).
Here's the link to the app: https://market.android.com/details?...android.gameday.atbat2011.full&feature=banner
I feel your pain on this one. I got the update this morning and was psyched about it. But I was quickly let down when I notice my Epic wouldn't work!!
Thanks for this update. I almost bought it yesterday, then I saw that MLB partnered up with Apple for a free month trial for iPhone users. Hoping for the same Android deal, I see that it's wrought with problems still and not ready for primetime.
The Nexus S is supported, so is there a way to spoof the Epic as a Nexus S? I thought I remember seeing somewhere that one of the ROMs was using a modified market using a Nexus S identifier. Could the same approach be used here?
LIVE GAMES!? GET THIS TO WORK, NOW!!!! I always loved getting the radio feeds but if I can get the actual games, I'd freak the hell out...
speaking of that...when i goto mlb.com on a winmo device..gameday doesnt drop down anymore???? i havent found a way for gameday to come up on the epic, if there is one. but i also would love to listen to the games, anyway to do this on the epic??
Yea, the MLB app. It's $14 but well worth it if you use it as much as I do. I'm dying for live stream of games.

Not without some kind of tweak it appears, I've got the MLB11 App and I'm on Bonsai and don't see any live video options so it seems to still be reading it as an Epic.

If you can afford it, get Slingbox. They run from $150 to $250... The Solo (the lesser priced one- beware) has some issue with capacitors.. Anything that you can get on your TV can easily be forwarded to your device. I have an Epic, as well. Slingbox forwards me my MLB account (from Roku)... I also get Netflix, Hulu Plus, and lots of other stuff.. music YouTube, International News, etc. If I have a net connection, I can watch and listen to anything on my TV or Roku
To afford all this, I cut my Uverse account back to basic at $19 a month plus box rental. I was spending $90 a month prior to hooking up Roku and Slingbox. One time investment only for Slingbox and Roku. You will have to fork out the $29 for the Slingbox Mobile for Android app to accomplish this. It includes clever remote control codes to manipulate your TV and other hardware at home.
MLB looks fabulous on Roku this year. Last year, it was problematic. This year, great.
You'll be watching the World Series and all the playoff games without forking out any more money. It's a great way to go. Im saving a lot of money. I use it off and on when work is slow.. watch a couple innings, etc.. When we travel, I use it.. .I also use the Sling software on my laptop.
So if live radio working? I want this app.

So I went ahead and installed CM7 Alpha 1 to see if that works, but no such luck. When I go to my account on the market (web version) it shows the phone as a Samsung SPH-D700 under Model. When I'm on another ROM it shows up as just SPH-D700 and the manufacturer is the same in both cases (Samsung)
Could someone please drop MLB Android support a email and ask them why our phone isn't supported?

TV NOW app.

My question here is one I'm not sure on. TV Now is a 6 dollar app on the market.. TV now and tv now lite are available. Before this became a paid app it was previously known as TVShows and the full version that I have was free and did not require payment. Is this a repostable ApK with outgetting in trouble by mods? Requires 2.2 o 2.3 OS to run. Right now this app has access to almost any show that has aired on tv available for u to stream over 3g or 4g. If I can repost...all epic users enjoy. Waitng for green light from a mod.

I had purchased the TVShows app a while back and had not used it much, looked in the market and found it missing. Now it has a new name and I can not download the new version. I emailed the developer and ill see what i get...
Are you sure that TV Now is TV Shows? My app shows [email protected] as the previous support.
Tv now is tv shows. I use it on a regular basis. Has csi ncis southpark family guy and tons of others
A lot of the paid movie Alps disappeard. I think cause they were pirated movies. That's my guess. For example watch movies now, movie stream, megaviewer pro.

We are the developers of "TV Shows Stream" and "Movie Stream". We are NOT the developers of others applications with similar names. Our developer name is "Loading Home". Google has removed “TV Shows Stream” and “Movie Stream” Applications from android Market. (Several other applications have also been removed from android market on the same day 27th May ) The application will continue working as usual and we will continue offering support for all current customers, but we will not be working on new improvements or updates at this moment. We have contacted google trying to receive further information and asking them how we could modify the app to avoid further problems in android market.

I noticed that some apps vanish from My Apps in the new Market. I had about 4 apps to update in the old Market, two manual because of changed permissions. I left it as-is and installed the new Market. In the new Market, only the two apps without changed permissions appeared as updates in My Apps. The other two apps had vanished completely from the My Apps list. If I search for them manually they will still show up and I can update them though.
You may want to try clearing the data of the market app
Install the new market using the apk from android central.
I like a nice little improvement to the notification: it says "updating" instead of "installing" now
Yet, it is not performing fast enough... I feel laggy when using it. And the new UI looks like WP7 (though I personally like this new design )
Sent from my Nexus One using Tapatalk
so it's not just me thinking that it's really laggy ... maybe it's not the final version?
or maybe we now need a Dual-Core Phone to use the new Market
It runs fine for me on the N1 most of the time. The only lag I've noticed is when it's fetching the icons for the apps on the Staff Picks screen or similar. When the icons have been downloaded it runs smoothly. I like the Honeycomb/ICS-like design.
Downloaded Market from http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/07/12/download-the-new-android-market-v3-0-26-with-support-for-movies-and-books/ I am not sure when it will go live in my country so Downloaded from there..I love it but Kinda fell Lag.I think it is new so might take few days/weeks to fix it over it is SO COOL on SGS2 but I have a Problem I can't see Movies Option I think Movies option is not Available in my country yet
Yeah, movie section doesnt appear on my market using MIUI Rom.
Anybody else having issues with Facebook since switching markets? Logic says it can't effect of but since I updated the market, Facebook won't load. Happened immediately after installing the market.
don't be so quick to yell at google for blocking movies if you're rooted
it's pretty clear the movie studios wouldn't give them the licenses for the movies unless they blocked rooted devices
i mean, i'm not agreeing with the studios. cuz are they REALLY worried people are gonna ****ing steal ****ty low res videos off their cellphone? there's SO MANY other(better) ways to pirate these movies. but whatever

I tried out the new Market app but had to remove it. It caused Earth and Legend to crash on load and I read a report that it causes Dungeon Defenders to crash too. I'm guessing these apps may have some type of protection that calls the Market app?

I'm now running this new market on my a500. I must say that the old market feels cumbersome and clumsy.this is way more suited to hc and is feels streamlined...
I love it on my DInc2 it took a while to get used to but I can't stand the old market anymore.
I haven't run into any problems with crashing apps. Earth runs fine. I'm using honeyvillain's rom.
Does this improve any problems with the Honeycomb Market, like reviewing apps direct from the tablet?

Portrait mode is sweet although the market is really crying out for a customized view, wierdly though the old market is still available alongside the new market on my tab 10.1(overcome rom). Accessing app details is not very intuitive, clicking the icon for the selected app shows details but there is no visual prompt to suggest this(could be a BOB issue). No issues launching any apps so far.
What's the best way to install this? I would think to remove Vending.apk from system/apps, rename this file to vending.apk and put it into the apps folder...is that right?
Update: Nope, don't need to do all that. Just download and install
Update: I LIKE! Portrait mode, FINALLY able to click a screen shot for a larger image, everything flows very well, seems like this market version is even better suited for a tablet than a phone. Thumbs up!
Thanks for the download MJ-12!

Got it working?
Has any one tried to view sky go via hdmi cable to a larger tv screen ? i know sky have blocked this feature on the official app but i wondered if any of the hacked apks had disabled that ?
Keeping an eye on youtube to see if someone does that. I haven't got the cable to do it but I will be trying this out when I get a chance. Official cable is needed for hdmi output afaik. The picture quality takes a while to get to an acceptable standard but after a few minutes it's not bad. I'm interested to see if it watchable on a 40 inch lcd tv. Sky seriously needs to get the finger out on this one, 720p/480p would be awesome on the S3. A work around for a browser on the S3 would be one possible way of getting a higher resolution closer to how it performs on a laptop. A better official app is enevitable at somestage though, I'm surprised Samsung didn't partner with Sky instead of just Eurosport for the S3. Probably not worth the hassle for them. Stupidity in my opinion on sky's part though as it makes their services a whole lot more marketable to support more android devices. Wouldn't be too surprised if apple were paying sky to drag their feet on their android rollout.

Hi ,
Just noticed this thread and thought some of you might appreciate this tip i posted in transformer Prime forum few months back regarding Sky go.
Long story short i love F1 hate sky so friend gave me one of his sky device keys and i installed on to PC (hooked up to 42" Bravia) rather than Prime as you can stream Sky go from the Pc to tab/phone using Splashtop.
So basically 2 devices only having 1 registered obviously not full functionality of 2 devices but multiple screens and add more by installing Splashtop on more of your devices .
