Now app no longer installing - Focus General

Focus rev. 1.3 with official Mango (7720.68).
I did a reset because the market compasses would not work. Before the reset the phone was working fine in the market and had the latest Now app....the one with the column of menus among which was settings. The one where you could select the subjects like latest tweets and such.
Now, after reset, the Now app no longer installs. It says it isn't for my device's software version. Most of the other Samsung apps will install, except for the ones relating to future phones with video calling features and such.

same thing happening to me and I tweeted @samsungsupport and they said they couldn't support a 3rd party app?!??

I found out why the Now app wasn't installing and also why my Focus was having so many market issues and other functional issues. My Focus doesn't have the Mango update meant for it. AT&T hasn't released the update for this round of AT&T devices yet, even though mine is a Rev. 1.3 version. The Mango mine had was meant for it. AT&T recommended restoring to the previous update till the next update round on the 16th or 17th of this month (Oct.) comes out.
But that is strange Samsung said what they told you.

Samsung needs to fix the "Now" app. I now have the official Mango update specifically for my Focus and the "Now" app won't update to the latest one because it says it isn't for my phone. It's funny that the "Now" app is installed on my Focus by default but says in the marketplace that it isn't for my phone.

Same problem to my Focus, official mango. Can't install Samsung "Now".
Edit:
I find an XAP of "Now" somewhere on Google. Successfully installed.
But Microsoft should fix this bug.

What is the version of that XAP? 2.0 or later? Or did you find 1.5 or something like that? Thanks

People w/ Froyo(HACK) and bugs

Just curiosity: Are people that are reporting "bugs" (though to me it sounds like apps that need to be updated for full compatibility with Froyo) running the OTA updated 2.2, or manually updated 2.2?
Edit: Changed name to Froyo(HACK) as recommended by someone since no one seems to be running a genuine OTA updated Froyo
Manually-updated using the official signed update from Google, for me. I don't have most of the bugs that have been reported here; the only one I'm currently aware of is that two applications I updated via the market this morning are no longer shown in the "Downloads" list, although they are labeled as "installed" when I search for them in the market. Other than that, no problems here.

No one on the entirety of XDA has upgraded via the OTA update. Everyone hacked.
(The OTA was press-only for people who attended Google I/O.)

I understand what you're saying.
However Google have released an OTA update to the MEDIA!
They'll grab this with both hands and show how the NEW messiah has fallen over again and how we should have all bought iPhones.....
I do believe this Froyo is HIGHLY unpolished and very dissapointing. It should have been released when it was fully ready.
I'm desperately trying to get back to CM but it seems to have screwed my phone and I'm stuck........

I think I'll just wait for the official Google OTA.
Good thing that people around here are chasing up all the last minute bugs for Google though. I am sure they would prefer to see them now rather than after releasing it to the general public.

good point lol
I'm waiting for the official Google too
Yeah I updated with Paul's version and I would have stayed on froyo but having annoying camera bugs.
I dont think Google meant this as an actual release since you Market isn't allowing protected apps etc with the froyo fingerprint. etc.
So i'm back on Cyan and all is well with the world.
I did however keep the newer radio to test it out.
It would be great if someone around here could change EVERY thread title that mentions this version to FROYOHACK so that once the real official one is released, we dont have to wade through all this pre-release BS. I know it is not possible but just thought.
What were your camera bugs?
I did Paul's too and mine worked 100%. Still have the new radio and according to speed tests it is doing better than the old one

I've posted it in the general forum. QIK app didn't work and if you use the stock camera app and slide to the camcorder then BACK to the camera, N1 would crash.
I posted the logcat and it appears there are some incompatibilities somewhere deep. I tried every kind of wipe and 'band-aid' that I could to get it working and failed miserably.
But I figured since i'm on an AT&T N1 that this release wasn't intended for me and there must be some kind of subtle differences.
*shrug* we'll see.

One thing I have learn is a app has a widget and it is moved to the sdcard it will show install but not show. I moved these to the phone and they show now.

Hah, as OP, I changed it. I didn't realize (though I had read it somewhere else) that the only people who got the OTA update were press/developers who went to I/O.
FOR THOSE JUST READING NOW: According to Paul (and where ever else I read online), anyone else with Froyo updated manually, so take current issues with a grain of salt.

The FM radio stuff was never announced OFFICIALLY. I do remember it being something rumored, but I don't ever remember Google saying it was an addition to Froyo. AND, even if it was announced, read my reiteration above about no normal consumers having the Official OTA update to Froyo.

Sort of ironic now, that people will avoid this thread in favour of ones without HACK in the title, as they will not want to accept that they have a hacked version on their device You cant win I guess.

OTA 707.1 update

...appears and seems to fix 'incoming ring volume' and 'increased stability of data connection'.
Doesn't look like Froyo to me.
Anyone tried yet?
Hmmm...looks like the European 405.2 update in the other thread.
Okay...will give it a try, will probably be prerequisite to Froyo anyway.
I have an unbranded Legend from Singapore, running on IM3/Indosat in Bali/Indonesia.
Update ran through without a hitch. Google Maps stayed at 4.4 (had it updated before manually via .apk), but now has Pinch-to-Zoom enabled. Cool, finally!
Seems like more free RAM now available than before.
Only thing not working so far is Swype Beta. Gotta get update for that.
Alright. So far so good.
And out. ;-)
Swype fix: simply uninstall main program. Run installer, download new beta, works!

^ Anyone can confirm if this update also have the SMS thread bug as in 405.2?
Helo ther mate i had the same problem with swype just reinstall it and it works again.
The Google Maps 4.4 apk can be found somewhere here in the forum, just do a thread search.
And yes, I can confirm the same sms bug like in the European update. But I use Handcent, so it doesn't annoy me.
I found that the youtube application had changed.now there is a option for hd from toolbar and in settings

[Q] New Market?

new market update? does anyone have any idea if this can be implemented by end users, or whether it will need to be cooked into ROMs?
see article

I am presuming that it will be delivered to us as an updated version of the android market app. once it is released.

Just thought I'd chime in & report that they're apparently pushing the new market out already. I went to download some apps earlier & found the new market on my phone. It seems a lot faster than the old market.

Think you just have to enable the accounts & sync background data and voila it gets updated unknowingly through data so wifi should not be a problem as well.

New camera firmware dated 2/6

Just got notified by Samsung Apps that there is a new firmware for the camera. However when trying to install it reports latest version installed.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
Nothing new for me. The problem is the 'update' remains in the 'new' list even after you have installed it, making you think there is a new one when there isnt.
I checked the dates. Old one was 26th of may. New is 2nd june.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
At Samsung Apps says:
Version: 11.5.01 (Jun 2, 2011)

They are probably finding better ways to compress images and improve quality. It's good to see to be honest. Having a team dedicated to improving the camera means a better experience for us as users.
I have yet to see any CAM updates for my GSII that was bought from Expansys-USA. It is the UK model. I go into Samsung Apps and never see anything for any camera updates.
Got my Replacement today, updated via the Official Samsung Apps Camera FW Update.
New FW is now OCEE09.
Pink Spot has actually gone less! Not Really noticeable now but you can tell It's there.
It might be a hardware issue or not... but the Nexus One had it pretty bad and it eventually got resolved with a software tweak so I'm sure the same can be done here.
I think the Nexus S had it too but that might've been sorted out as well.

Just go into Samsung Apps and then Search and type in Camera, pops up a Samsung GS2 Camera firmware app, download, install, run then uninstall. Simples.

New OTA market

So, I already know it's possible to side load the new market but i thought i'd point out a difference i've noticed between the market APK and the OTA market.
In the sideload version there is a limit to the amount of apps in the lists like "top paid" and "top free" or "editors choice"
In the OTA version there seems to be no limit and it goes on for quite a while.
It also breaks the ability to install apps that aren't available in your local market via the MarketEnabler trick that fakes the MCC/MNC SIM ID's.
There's no real benefit to the new market unless the video's are available in whatever country you're in.

by OTA and APK market do you guys mean the old 2.3.6 market and the new 3.0.27 market respectively? why does the title say new OTA market? what am i missing here? lol
anyway, when i was using litening rom the market there had no limit but when i switched to stock and installed the new market through an apk the apps showing had a limit and some known apps actually didn't display unless you searched for them.

I assume OP is talking about the market apk which you can install manually and you can get from various sites and the market update which is being pushed by Google these days and is "the most official" one, if i can use this term. Basically the same version, but looks like they behave differently. I didn't get the official update from Google yet, but waiting for it, no point in installing it by myself.
I was also wondering that why no market update here.
Could it be because of a custom ROM? no? Just have to wait in Finland..

It is probably being rolled out regionally based. I read on a tech site that it should come to Europe this week. We'll just have to wait and see, unless you wanna install the apk yourself.
I have the sideloaded version installed and I don't have this issue, the list goes on forever for me. I have version 3.0.27, maybe you sidedloaded an older version?

Yea this is exactly what i meant, sorry if my first post was a little wonky.
My atrix seems to have gotten the update but nothing thus far for my sgs2
What is seems is that the updates of the market app are not coming at the same time in all phones. Both my HTC and Samsung didn't get the update yet so we guess it is better wait than update the up for ourselves.
