I had Getjar installed on my Elocity when I bought it. If I click on the Getjar icon, I get taken to a page on the Internet that no longer exists. How can I change Getjar so that when I click on it, I will get taken to the Getjar site on the Internet. Is Getjar an okay app, or is there a better one? (I don't believe I can delete the Getjar app from this Elocity A7.)
Also, would anyone know a good, free, weasther app that I could download that would show the weather (in my vicinity) on the Home screen (background) , similar to the time that appears there now?
amazon, google android market
use this to get android market working http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1431967
after you root the device you can install the amazon app store and buy the root explorer if you don't get it through other means. it's a useful app, buy it. you can find the getjar program in /system/app, where you drop off the google apps. be careful when you remove the default apps, try to force stop them before uninstalling. 2 of them can't be stopped(one is fring and i can't remember the other, i think it had a light blue icon) and after they are uninstalled will give an error that will keep popping up, just hard reset and continue.
for the weather app, just search 'weather widget' in either app store. keep in mind that app will be a battery drain.

Thank you. Sorry, but I am new at all of this (tablets, etc.) and don't know what you mean by "root," "drop off," "default apps," "force stop," "error popping up," etc. Really confusing and I do not want to make my grandson's A7 unstable, etc.

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.

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.
can't find in the market many many normal apps like skype sd tools twicca facebook
what happened? :|
please help
I know ....
I know extacly what u mean i mean one day they were there like Current Widget but now im forced to type in this CurrentWidget everytime i want to download this application and IMDB also....... Something weirdd..

no what i must do?
Look for "Market Enabler" apk on google, download and install on your phone (requires root)
Launch MarketEnabler and go to "settings list" tab, tap and hold on [us] T-mobile and choose "fake this provider now". Then, click on "allow" if Super user asked. Finally, go to the market and you'll see all the apps.
Is there anyone tried this out before?
I just tried it, didnt seem to work for me. Rebooting now to see if it helps.
no luck, the market enabler app did update before the reboot too
I am new to everything mobile, android, and tablet...
I tried to install some of the free apps from the APPS "shop", and after they failed to install, even purchased one (Quill) but that too failed to install. When I click "download"... I see a green line moving back and forth and it says "waiting to install" and then nothing happens for two hours. I tried several different apps, then gave up and started looking for a forum to ask... what am I missing?
Don't buy from the apps shop, buy from Google. Contact the app shop by clicking help, but they won't.
Thanks
Okay, thanks for the tip. Felt good to get the support!
Yeah, the app shop has been a fairly worthless and frustrating experience for me. They offered no help for the issue when I emailed them, despite multiple requests. I no longer bother.
Google market install problem
Hi, I'm not entirely sure if you are referring to the Lenovo app store or the Google one. Both are installed on your tablet. However I had the same problem with the GOOGLE app store, I would pick an app to install and a little animated green bar would appear for an age with the word "installing ...".
The fix for me was to open the app manager, go to the Google Market app, force close it, and clear its data.
I can install just fine now.
I am really enjoying this Nexus 7 device, which I got yesterday!
I am learning how to use this and have a very basic question.
After I install an app, I might want to free up space and uninstall. However,
I still want to be able reinstall again in the future. What are the steps here?
I only did figured out how to delete the app.
all or most of your apps are store in your google cloud i.e. in google play store app. >my apps> (swipe right)> All apps

Or navigate to "manage apps" in settings.then select the app there.
To uninstall, you can also open up the app drawer, drag the app out, and uninstall will show up at the top as you are holding on to. the app.

The app that I deleted in Nexus 7 is still there on my device ready to be installed again. (in google play store) I assume that this is the google cloud.
If I never want this app again, then how do I get it off my list of apps on google play store?

I uninstalled a free app (eg. Angry Birds Rio) through the manage apps. If I want to install it again, I need to go through Google Play?
Reinstalling takes it from "my" cloud on to the device?
If it was a paid app, I would reinstall from google play too? It would not ask me to pay again since I paid for it once?

You only pay for apps once correct, unless you uninstalled it during the refund period.
But yes, in the Play Store under "All Apps" is a list of all apps you have ever downloaded and purchased so you can download again. Can't take them out that list I don't think. Only apps you have installed show in the "My Apps" list.

Since yesterday I've been getting ads that pop up over any and every app when I start them.
I've had this happen from an app I installed once before and uninstalling fixed it, but this time I tried uninstalling everything I've installed or updated in the past 2 weeks but they still keep popping up.
And none of the ad detectors can find these type of ads so does anyone know how to track the source?
Also this is the app I had and removed months ago that gave same problems https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=game.gles.rubikcube
Some apps running in the background causes this. Uninstall all the free app or cracked apps from your phone
I've uninstalled everything from 2 weeks before it started, and it isn't just cracked apps that cause it like you'll see by looking at the comments of the app I linked to.
So I need a way to find the app or process to find it.

You can try this:
- Install Shortcut Master app.
- Open Menu > Capture Shortcut. Here you can select 'Manually capture' and 'Auto capture', which one is suitable for you.
That way you can capture the shortcut when the ads appear. You can also know which app that the ads belong to.
i have the same problem, when i unlock th phone appear chrome window with ads, or suddenly a window over any aplication that i use inthat moment.
dam.
