One for the UK mainly...
Anyone notice the current BBC promo for their BBC Sport app? It's the one with the woman walking down the street looking at the new app with a load of people following behind her trying to read the screen. That's definitely a Note she's holding, obviously so everyone can see the screen. Presumably the Note 2 was just that bit too distinctive to use.
I find this somewhat ironic given the BBC's attitude to Android and that the Sport app was available for iOS several weeks before the Android version came out. Not to mention we're still waiting for local caching for iPlayer...
Anyway, always nice to see one's choice of tech vindicated by a large, faceless organisation

I've just seen the ad and thought the exact same thing.

Great that you mention this
Could anyone please share the BBC sport app?
Don't stay in the UK and can't get it, even using a VPN on 4.2.2.

I wouldn't bother - offers nothing the mobile version of the website doesn't already give you.

I hate the look of the new market. It is using the game UI design as WP7 and I HATE how WP7 constantly hides things off screen and you have to just swipe madly to 'discover' if things are there or not.
ya its work on gs2

I don't think the update will be mandatory. Guess you can stick to the same old version, if you hate the WP7 look-a-like
I'm digging the new style, much easier to find things
It seems to be slower than the old market and consumes a lot of power (12% of my battery usage in 20min)
Ahh, you beat me to it. But, yes the App Market has a nice new graphical overhaul. I'm actually a fan of the WP7 UI, it's quite unique and fits my taste. Alas, I did not buy a WP7 b/c non of them sported dual-core processors. But that new WP7 SGS II is begging me to buy it, but I'll wait for quadcores and hexacores to come out, I'm fine with my SGS II.
Here's a mediafire link if anybody wants it @mcchimney could you post it on the first post there as well: http://www.mediafire.com/?vdocx41t37rnn6y.
Looooove love love the new market!

Anyone else not able to bill your carrier account now?
i thought at first this is black market apps
nice sharing here. thanks
There is also something strange about the market... I am seeing games like Modern Combat 2, BackStab, and Nova 2 on the Market. Last time I checked, Gameloft didn't release their games on the Market and my device can't play those games.

It looks alot better than the update they did earlier..with that big green "U" that was blocking half the screen.

Does this work for the UK?
So wheres the lawsuit about this?
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
I hope they have intended some issues of old market in this new one. For example, there is no differentiation between Honeycomp & cellphone Androids during search. Also, they most drop the compatibility recommendation that makes some unable to download some apps. eg. I have a SGSII & ROM Manager is incompatible while all of you are running it!!!!.
Anyone fancy having a go at making sky go work for JB and the note2? Dont even bother trying to get it workimg for root!

Never going to happen, sky's inbuilt protection is ridiculously good now. We cannot even edit the app anymore as it does a server side check for a particular signature.

So were gonna have to wait another year for Sky to make it work with JB, they're so slow its ridiculous.

Look at the Xbox 360 Sky Go player still hasnt had an update to change it with a metro style. I am not holding my breath.
I dont think sky are slow its just sky prefer iphone over android.
No the problem is sky don't trust android users so they spend too long on trying to build protection into the apps.

SkyGo on Note
I have the original Note running ICS which I run SkyGo on using a side loaded APK.
I guess the issue is the O/S rather than device as GT-N7000 isn't a supported device either.
I work for Sky and I'm currently beta testing the app and it does work on both the note 2 and on jb. See my post on the themes and apps section. The current version of Sky Go in Google Play does work on the original running ICS

lets not get peoples hopes up regarding root though. Sky will always block this for no legtimate reason (although they quote that it is because their content providers are worried about copyright infringement, which is nonsense as jailbroken iphones still use the same app).

So when will it be ready.
I paid a lot of money for the note 2... And pay a lot of money to sky from the subscription.

I'll try to address all concerns here. I don't think Sky will ever allow the app to work on rooted devices. Not sure why though, beat in mind I work in sales, I'm only testing the app. As to when it's available, I'm not sure. It's in phase 2 of beta testing right now. Also bear in mind, Sky Go is a free app. You pay for what you get on the tv, the app is an added bonus. I will ask though about the rooting issue and as soon as I get an answer I'll post on here
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
I dont see the issue with rooting tbh....seen as though sky go is all server based (you cant hack it to get a free account etc) I dont see why they blocked rooted devices from opening the app in the first place :duh:

Hi everyone. I have just published an app to the playstore. What it does is that you sign In with you instagram account pick a photo then I put it on a T-shirt and deliver it to the customer.
Problem is that when you type in instagram in the search my app is quite far down the list so therefore quite hard to see.
I've tried different keywords changing the title, description and even category but none of them seem to be moving it further up.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks

Maybe try uploading to this website in the appropriate section of course. I'd put it on at least a few more websites like App brain. You could also put a video on YouTube on how to use the app even if it's very simple. Things like his could get your app to used by more people. This is just an idea as I've never developed an application but it's worth a try I guess. Good luck!

I'm trying to decide between getting the Pebble, i'm Watch, Agent, or Kreyos Meteor. Which of these do you personally like the best?
Wait for the samsung gear? Should be announced September 4th.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
Kreyeos Meteor smart watch looks like the best option right now.
They're all good for certain purposes. I personally backed the Kreyos because it was waterproof and has a speaker + mic.
What's the key decision criteria one should be looking for when evaluating these watches?

Your needs/wants, and whether the watch fulfills them.
I guess what I'd want in a watch...

A few features I'd like to see:
- A virtual security tether to let me know when I'm walking away or forgetting a phone / tablet and to bypass lockscreens
- reminders and basics that I don't even need to open my phone for
- profile management to advise my of locations and what my wifi devices are doing (what Android profiles they are on)
- health and fitness.... not so much but ok I get that this would be the best device to record my movement or how much I'm stuffing my face at meals...
For some reason I cannot find the comedy central app in the Google play store. I know I've seen it there before, I want it so I can watch the daily show and Colbert report clips. Does anyone have the apk or know why it's not showing up for me? Thanks!
Sent from my SGH-I337 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
The only things showing up for me via the Play website are the apps for The Daily Show, Tosh.0, and The Colbert Report. According to Comedy Central's site, they launched their app at the beginning of the month, but it's currently available only for iOS 7. Sorry
Thanks, at least it's not just me. The weird thing is I could have sworn they had it before, maybe I imagined it. Thanks again!

If you want a comedy app you can try this one I found on the Play Store: Stand Up Comedy
There was an app for android. I flashed a rom that caused hulu ads to break hulu. Had downloaded and watched full ep of colbert with no issues. Learned about it from the show.
Not sure if i had flashed again and never downloaded it again which i doubt cause I've never had issues with hulu where I normally watch the show. it seems it was pulled giving merit to what johnus said.
but why?
guess i should say I found this post from google, I have a tmo note 3.
