So since I am new the the N1, does my pre-installed Facebook app get the update or do I need to install the store version for it to apply?

check in the downloads section of the market it should say "update available" if you don't have the latest version
I did that...I have version 1.1.3, but the market is version 1.2...yet it does not say update available, in fact Facebook does not show up in my Downloads section because it was installed on my phone when I got it a week ago.
It's there. It was just posted a bit ago.
Think you have to have installed it from the market before it'll inform you about an update.
A step in the right direction.

Definitely.
Well it is not in my Downloads and I think I know the reason. I did not download the app. The app was pre-installed and not downloaded. So if I go into the market, into Downloads, there is no Facebook. I guess I have to install it from the market to get the update.
Makes me glad Google is taking apps out of the OS in the future.

Hmm... even though it came pre-installed, it still shows up in my Downloads. Applications like Google Voice and Google Maps, which were all pre-installed when I got my phone, all shows up in my Downloads. Weird.
that is weird. None of those are in my Downloads. I only have those apps I have installed. Maybe I am doing something wrong?

Dear all,
I've recently acquired the Galaxy Tab from UAE/Dubai. It doesn't have the Android Market which is really disappointing.
Does anyone know how to enable it? Like in the Galaxy S? (dial a number?)
I don't want to flash. It's too new to mess up
Thanks
Market enabler
Thanks. But it doesn't . When I choose "fake this provider", it says there is a problem.
Also from what I read, that is meant to allow paid apps. The problem is that the Android Market app is missing completely. Only SlideMe market is there.
hi,
maybe you can use this market app from this thread.
dont know if it will work though.
regards,
mike
Did you get it on Etisalat or operator free? Do you know where I can get it in Dubai not with operator contract? Thanks.
http://www.wipconnector.com/appstores lists all alternative market places by platform
Try MarketAccess from the andappstore
EDIT: Just done some reading and apparently vending.apk and market updater.apk cannot be pushed the normal way - you will have to install them via an update.zip.
hi,
the device was available last week during the gitex period in Dubai at around 3200 AED
maybe it's still available here, last time i checked at eros digital, its same price.
regards,
mike
Thanks, I was in last day of Gitexshopper, but none left, only in Etisalat booth with contract :-(.
Better luck next tinme, i'll wait
Cheers.
I was able to get it from Eros Mirdif. Reserved one by giving a down payment a while back.
It's a really nice tablet. Such a shame though. The market being missing and all. I was hoping the Galaxy S command would work, since they're almost identical. Sigh
Galaxy Tab
Got mine during GITEX, found it at Carrefour. Everyone else was out of stock on the very first day of launch.
No Android Market is very frustrating, lots of alternatives available. I am trying lots of different tricks to try and get market working. Will keep you guys posted
Please stick to the topic. Try this:
Install a file manager like.Estrongs or Astro from here: http://www.freewarelovers.com/android/app/estrongs-file-explorer
transfer it with bluetooth or USB to your phone and install.
After installing the FIle manager.
1. Go to internal memory root
2. navigate to /system/app
3. Locate Vending.apk
4. push on it to install it
It may force close the first time you run it but the second time it should work
If you still encounter Force Close or download issues. Do the following ( you might want to do it anyway as it is sometimes better to start with a clean slate)
1. Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications
2. Chose All
3. Find Market
4. Push on it and select Clear data
from droidforums
Ok. When I run Vending.apk, it says unable to parse package.
I cannot find "Market" in all Applications.
get the apk from one of the above posts and use that.

The second "Patched Vending apk" installs successfully. I can launch the market and find apps. BUT all download attempts FAIL.
I think we're almost there........

I think you have managed to install it just fine. There are LOADS of Market problems at the moment. A HUGE number of people can't download anything from the market (nor update old apps) and those same people managed just fine weeks ago.
I spend one hour on my wife's Desire yesterday trying to install Astro. It would just error with "Download unsuccessful" or "Download paused" or something like that. Then I just hit "Cancel Download" and try again. Eventually it usually works, but I had to try MANY, MANY times.
So, I think you're ok, you're just experiencing the same probs everybody else has now
(There's a multi-page thread of it in google help forums and apparently they know about it. beats me if they're willing to DO anything about it though.)
Pissed me off to no end when I finally introduced my brother to the Android side of things and Market wouldn't work at all! He has a HTC Hero that previously had had NO problems with Market...
tl;dr: Yes, it's probably installed ok. No, Market doesn't work for the rest of us either :/

lol. Nice to know. Pity about the Market though. For the time being, I just browse appbrain for apps. Then try my luck googling the .apks. Torrented some app bundles also. But all that is just too tiresome. I hope Google or Samsung does something about it.
I just bought mine from the Eros Group in Abu Dhabi. I'm pretty letdown that they're selling this expensive product without letting you know that one of its main features is disabled.
I am with you kristenm. It's ridiculous. I am surviving using torrents, google and applanet to get apps, but its such a pain cause there are still apps i cant find without the market. And even after i finally got the market app installed. It fails on all downloads.
Its such a nice tablet. But samsung is not doing this right. Each shop has like a piece or 2, no accessories and little to no marketing.

Hello all,
The FULL Market is now online! Just open up your browser on your tablet and go to https://market.android.com/ (don't forget the s in https) Then sign in and you'll be able to download and install any app from the Market! (I have done several searches for apps that usually don't show up and they were all there!)
While on a PC, you can't download to the PC, but you can browse the Market on the PC and click install and some how Google finds your tablet and installs it.
Tesla
Edit: I just noticed it does a compatibility check, so maybe not all apps. I believe you have to have the Market installed on your tablet.
yeah its pretty good. although it has a rather striking simularity to Appbrain. I hope that google bought into their product and integrated it rather than pretty much rip it off.

But what is nice about Google's is that almost all the apps are downloadable.. even the ones that don't show up in the Market app. With AppBrain and AndroidZoom, if the app didn't show up in the Market app, then it wouldn't download.
It looks the same as the Google Market App.. I don't think they ripped it off.. unless the new Market was based on AppBrain??
Where does it download the apk to? I tried installing an app via the web Market in Dolphin HD. The downloading symbol appeared in the notification bar for a few seconds, then disappeared, and that's it. Nothing else, and can't find a downloaded apk anywhere... It did a compatibility check before downloading, and my archos came up in the list of devices I could install to...
@fisha21
After you have found downloading symbol then open Market app. It will install app for you.

D'OH! And thank you
has anyone else noticed that the google market website has suddenly stopped listing their archos even though it listed it previously?
It still shows my HTC Desire when I go to my market account in the top right and click on the settings tab, but no longer lists my archos 101? (I am logged into the archos using the same google account).
it used to list it but with some details missing from certain fields.
I have gappsforarchos v4 Market installed, and the archos is rooted with archangel v2, (I have tried 'market enabler' but it made no difference.)
I dont know if its relevant, but I re-did the market fix (where you delete the market cache etc) the other day, maybe this effected it?
My Archos 101 showed up last night and I just checked now and its still there.
Don't know what you did!

Yes I've had my device show up one day and disappear after the market fix.
did you ever manage to get it to show again?

It showed after the market did an automatic update. But when I fixed the market again that was needed after the upgrade it disappeared again.
I managed to get it back when I did an uninstall upgraded version in the apps management.
Anyway I hate the market website it can't even show what apps are installed it will show apps that where installed even when they where removed afterwards. I rather use appsbrain that site seems to be stable and you can manage your own devices/lists.
My online market was able to see my A70 up until this morning when i installed the new firmware. I did the market fix 5 times, but it doesn't seem to be working. And now I can't even install from the web market.
Anyone know a solution. Is there a new market fix that works better?
Umm I know it's recommended to actually go to the new market site (including the "s") but is there a .apk for it instead?? I'm just asking if anyone knows of a new .apk for it cuz for me it would be simpler.
Side question: Is this "new" Full Google Market site the newly updated gApps V5 or is it more like a new V6? I have aApps V5 and all of a sudden I noticed a few days ago the whole look of the Google Market when I click on my Market Apps icon was a little different. The area near the search bar at the top changed from all green and white-to all gray with a different font. This new look of the Google Marketplace is what I see when I click on my Market App icon, not the website.

You know what this means don't you! You can add movies and yes apps from the Google android market into your DropBox and install them on the kindle without rooting the device. YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
I have about about 595 apps available.
How To- install on Kindle Fire
I just my new Kindle Fire, which runs a modified Android Gingerbread. One of the ways the Kindle Fire is different from most Android devices is it does not have the Google Android Marketplace; instead apps must be obtained through Amazon’s own app store. As of this writing, the DropBox app is not available in the Amazon App Store, but I was able to get it installed on my Kindle Fire anyway with the following steps:
Click the gear icon in the top-right corner of the Kindle Fire home screen to activate the Settings window
Click More
Scroll down to Device
Scroll down to ‘Allow Installation of Applications from Unknown Sources’ and move the slider from ‘Off’ to ‘On
You’ll be prompted to confirm you mean to do this; you agree
Switch to the Kindle web browser and go to dropbox dot com/android (NOTE: the ‘https‘ is important!), and click Download App. This will download the Dropbox.apk file
When the download is finished you’ll see a notification in the top left corner. Click it and scroll down to the notification that the download of the Dropbox.apk file is complete. Click the file.
You will be prompted to install the application. Click the button
Once installation is completed, start the Dropbox application and log in.
Done!
Is it possible to change the homescreen via this method?
Would be wonderful to do that without rooting
Also, do I HAVE to root to get full marketplace?

You're right, there is nothing new here. And the fact that someone loaded "dropbox" doesn't give them access to the Google Android market. One has nothing to do with the other. Worthless thread.
LOL quit crushing the poor guys dreams!
no its not nothing new but rather then finding the dropbox.apk you can simply get it from their actual website.
thats cool! i have swype on mine!
I thought we learned about this weeks ago, I never thought I would say it but xda is turning in to facebook.

This is a worthless thread pretty much since its old news.
However, to let people know more semi-useless info, you can also use box.net which is does the same thing as dropbox, it is also available on the amazon market.
Hate to jump on the "tell me something I don't know bandwagon" but isn't this common sense? Been sideloading apps with dropbox since day one.
Well, till I rooted and set up the Marketplace. So much nicer.

Holy **** there are some petty people up in this thread. Seriously, dude shared something that you are free to ignore, or use (couldn't care less if you are so cool that you already knew it), but trying to belittle them for trying to help really shows a lack of character.
And sends a message to others not to bother sharing a find since you're all "too smart to be told nothin".

Looks like dropbox 2.0 is out:
http://blog.dropbox.com/?p=947
Anyone have an apk for that yet? The dropbox website now directs to the Android Market, not the apk.

Just updated via the Android market on all my devices including my KF
If you search for it, Dropbox is now also available in Amazon Appstore. Not updated yet to 2.0 as in Android market though.
600 MB additional free storage
Hi all
Just found a smart way to increase your Dropbox account with 600 MB:
1 Sign into your existing Dropbox account (or create a new account)
2 Goto https://www.dropbox.com/free
3 Follow instructions ... and voila 600 MB additional free storage
When I try to upload pictures on my FB via the application, it reaches 100% and then I get an error that the transfer failed. If I do it on the browser it works.
What seems to be the problem? I am on HC 3.2 and my Xoom is unrooted.
Works fine here. Try signing out, clearing data, signing in, and trying again.
No, it didn't work.
I can't see my albums either.

TBH, that app is flaky as h*ll, adn gives nothing but problems. I use the mobile browser for most facebooking. It's far superior. However, that doesn't answer your question...
I seem to remember the latest version of that app fixing that issue. Are you on the latest by chance?
Yes I am. I even removed and installed the app again.
No answer here?
The best thing to do for your Facebook needs is to download a third party app or possibly search Google for the .apk of an older version and sideload it. A lot of people have been complaining about the latest update in the comments on the Market page for the Facebook app.
[BEGIN RANT]
I do wish they'd release a proper tablet version of their app already. The current app looks alright even if it's stretched but a dedicated tablet version would do way more justice. Then again, the Facebook people dragged their feet developing an Android app before they finally released their own so them dragging their feet here doesn't surprise me.
They drag their feet with the Facebook Android app while constantly screwing around with the layout of the site confusing users who are already still coming to grips with the last layout change. That and just their way of doing things in general would have had me delete my account long ago if it weren't for that site being my only means of contacting certain people.
