[Off Topic ?] March 1 is when Google's new Privacy Policy starts - Vibrant General

On March 1 all your web history, searches etc can be shared across all of Google's platforms... currently they each have their own separate policy. If you do not want your web searches showing up somewhere that you may not like it (may not be an issue, but I am cautious):
My Tweeted Warning:
@CallipH Go here: goo.gl/ezReW Login, Click "Remove all Web History" before 3/1/12. Unless you want your web history shared.
You can unpause this if you want to once again start sharing your history.... good way to remove all the old crumbs.

Thank you for the heads up/reminder! And the link, much appreciated

Mine too. I hit no thanks but I think I might be missing something else.

Why the f*ck would they do this BS?

^ IDK to piss you off probably.
Anyways, It says I have no web history, but i clicked Erase all anyways, it said my history would be paused... what does that mean? or how can i resume it?
-------nvm figured it out haha------

odd you guys do not have history... mine went back to 2007. VERY ODD to see stuff you were searching 5 years ago. Wow.

Went to delete history‚ turns out it was already paused or never turned on. Guess I opted out somehow.

Market 3.0.27

Anyone else get automatically updated today? Was running the old version last night and earlier, now its the newest one and I didn't download anything!
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Yeah happened to me as well.
I hate the new market. Not only are the animations unnecessary and annoying, but all of the sudden I don't have access to QuickPic OR the ACS Updater app! It's ridiculous! EG22, EC05, and CM7. ACCESS DENIIIIIED.
Earlier today I updated an app in the old market, then driving on the way home I got the new one. It's pretty cool, and much faster, but so far I got 2 gripes:
1) my text reviews are either hidden or vanished; only the star rating shows. ETA: n/m, if you tap the star rating you see what you said. Better that way, actually. Good job big G.
2) there should be an option to sort My Apps by something other than A-Z order. The old market had them with the latest updated at the top; makes more sense.
I hope apps don't disappear on me anymore and if they do that the old cache/data clearing trick will fix it.
ETA: to get the super rad new more 3D shaded icon on your homescreens you may need to trash the old and bring it out from the app drawer or Touchwiz or whatnot. Least I did. ;-)
Can you guys search the market from home? (Hitting the search key then selecting market at top right?) I hate how the self install one you couldnt
Sent from my SPH-D700
I just uninstalled the manual update to see if it would update and it did. I opened the old one and noticed my data activity. Closed it and waited for the traffic to stop. Opened it and had the update.

Likewise. I'm surprised if that feature was ever possible actually.
You need to approve permissions every single time now, even if they haven't changed (kinda paranoid on G's part if you ask me, and annoying). And you have to expand them sometimes to see all of them too. Downloader beware.
Oh, and with the update notify option now seemingly gone, does it just not let you know (my preference) or is it forced? 2 app updates since the new Market hit and no notification in the bar either time for me.

From the homescreen hit the search soft key on the phone, and it'll come up with google search and at the top left corner press that and select the market. Then type in an app name or anything and it should search the market for it. On previous markets it worked for me

Couple things I really don't like, and I had the manual install for a while as well. I would much rather a list of catagories than a cluttered mess like it is now. I'm sure I'll get used to it, but just, bleh. Also I hate that when you hit the menu key the search option no longer pops up like it used to. So now I have to use the phone search magnifying glass thing. Time to relearn I suppose.
Went to delete a topic I just made of the ota and it was already gone lol.
Ah well less work I gotta do. Yah, I received mine this morning.

I've gotten notifications in the last 24 hours using the newest market. What bugs me (and this was the case on the old version too) is all the notifications for apps I got free from amazon. Amazon doesn't update their apps nearly as fast as the market does so these apps keep showing up.

You can select what locations the home searches in, at least in Gingerbread.
Open search from the home page (hit the magnifying glass button), Press the icon on the upper left (for me its the google icon), on the window that opens press the gear on the upper right. That opens a page that allows you to choose the items that are searchable in the search function. For me, Apps is the second item on the list.
Soundhound claims there's an update today, but when I click on it I see nothing but Open and Uninstall. Annoying. Whassupwitdat? Maybe time to clear Market cache & data after all.

Yes the new market is good for that. I don't like that and I don't like games being mixed in with the apps. That's annoying.

Market search engine behaving very strange

Ok so for example, when I entered twitter, it didn't find the twitter app. Only till I entered "tweet". And it almost always shows the app Lookout security & Antivirus, as like the 5th search result. And some other apps, like Nimbuzz, Quickoffice Pro will almost always show up. This happened since I flashed my phone back to the T-Mobile (I had debranded) firmware and then upgraded to 2.3.5.
Maybe covered in here too:

Not sure if this is the same issue and apologies if I've missed another thread on this. I lost both books and movies from market a few days ago. Also searches only show a very small selection of apps but says there's thousands available. Wonder if anyone else has noticed this?

I think you guys accidentally set the app filtering to high. Remove the filter. Happened to me before.
Just uncheck all then apply and recheck all and apply.

Depends on the CSC code.
Everybody got the same following bug?
If some app page in market loads through 3G and you switching to WiFi while loading - it won't load until force restart market app.
I have got the same thing.. I cannot find anything properly. Its like the search engine is fubar.
When I search "stargate ", it says there are 107 results, yet only about 10 are in the list. I'm finding this problem with every search I do, yet my filter is set to show all apps. Maybe if someone who has cm7/miui could see it it happens to them, we could then deduce whether it is Samsung firmware to blame, or just an android market issue.
There is also another issue where in sometimes when u search an app with full name the market will keep on loading with the grey screen and does not go past it. However if part of the name is searched the results come instantly.

We can rule this out if no one is having as now I feel its because of network issue from my end.

[Q] Google Music - "Error retrieving information from server"

I'm running CM7.1 (Nightly Build) and have been experiencing issues with purchasing music from the Android app. Free songs seem to work fine, but to purchase music, Google servers are returning a 500 error. Perhaps this is caused by missing parameters on the device end?
I've been able to purchase music via the website as suggested on various other sites, but simply accepting the TOS didn't resolve the issue. Here's what I see in logcat:
BasicNetwork.performRequest: Unexpected response code 500 for https://android.clients.google.com/fdfe/purchase
[1] CheckoutPurchase.onErrorResponse: DisplayErrorMessage[Error retreiving information from server.]
[1] CheckoutPurchase.setError:type=UNKNOWN, code=-1, message=Error retreiving information from server.

Q&A sections work well when you want a question answered.
But seriously, here's a link to a thread somebody started a few days ago. In that thread there's a link I posted to a Google bug tracker, in case you were looking for something a little more official. Seems like the problem is slowly starting to get fixed according to the Google page.
Hope that helps.
if you constantly flash your atrix and use google music each time.....u have to de-authorize your device after flashing 8 times....check it out....if that is the reason...

Thanks for pointing that out. I haven't actually gone back into my Music settings on the website for quite sometime. I had 6 devices listed.
Not sure if that's the root of the problem. Even with 6 devices I was able to get my purchases working properly. Although, I'm sure it won't hurt to get rid of any old ones that might be on there just to be on the safe side.
Dang... I know better than to post in general too. TX
Can a moderator move this to Q&A? If preferred, I'll repost.

Looks like it's working now. I did try to De-Authorize it early yesterday.
Today, it works as expected. Looks like that may have been the issue.

Google Play 3.9.16 - FINALLY!

http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/10...all-apps-list/
We can finally remove apps from the "All Apps" list on Google Play.. it also translates to the web portal!
Three years of junk cleared in 15 minutes! :good:
KKH
Was stilling annoying. I spent 20 minutes tapping away removing over 2 years of crap.. Was like a walk down memory lane. I felt old when I reached Open Home..
Guess it's too late to tell you that you can select multiple entries and delete them all at once, hm? ^^
Still didn't manage to reinstate a dedicated list for only apps you purchased, though I know Google has no intend of doing it.

Yeah I had to do the same thing. It was rather annoying. I am sure they will release another correcting that now that we all lost several minutes of our lives clearing them out. :laugh:
All that tapping made me felt a bit like an mmorpg player. Nice to see my first downloaded app was SuperSU.
I really like that we can remote apps from all apps.

Yeah, too bad you can't do the same operation on the Play Store website and it would sync back to the app. Also ridiculous that they made the list position to stick, when you're searching for apps, but not in the Installed apps section. When you list down and delete some apps, you get back to the top again lol. But it's a start.
Awsome man thanks for this . Was waiting for the remove apps feature for a while . I had 5 phones on the same google account and that list was gettin messy )

HIT THANKS PLEASE
I am so glad they added a way to remove apps. Like others, I have had multiple phones and had a bunch of old apps I dont use anymore. While first discovering the new option, I had learned that you could multi select and remove, so it didnt take too long. One more thing that would be great to add would be the ability to select multiple apps to install.

Greetings
To get to to the point tapatalk was not letting me reply or start new threads on any of the forums I was a member to. So naturally I went to tapatalk to get support, however the only interface offered is a support forum through the tapatalk app itself. Well if I can write anything, How am I supposed to get my questions answered (from what I'm reading nobody monitors that forum anyhow) . So I played with the app to make sure I was logged in when I happened on a message that that said my account needed to be "validated", so I clicked on the link in the email and validated my account, but I'm still unable to respond to anything. So I decided to just uninstall and reinstall (with a reboot in between) to see if that fixes anything. Now it won't let me login, telling me that my password and/or username was invalid. Well I clicked on forgot password and Enter my email address and it told me that there was no account available. So I said f*ck it I'll just create a new account, but when I attempted to do that it said my email address already has an account associated with it and to log in using that account.
OK I'm going around in circles here and I realize that this might not be the best place to ask but... Does anyone know a way I can contact the taptalk folks WITHOUT using the tapatalk app? I combed through their Web page looking for an email addy and no joy. Please help if you have any other ideas.
There's an email on the Play Store entry for contacting them. [email protected]
