some apps will not install on my Nexus S

Hi I've had my Nexus S for a week now and by and large am very happy with it.
Recently I noticed that some apps from the market will not install after downloading, for example, the Pubtran London app.
the app always shows it's being currently downloaded, and when I check the About tab, it says that 100% has been downloaded, but it will not launch into install.
There are quite few apps which I tried to install but also had this problem. I would be grateful if anyone has experience the same issue and has advice to resolve this problem. thanks!

Not all apps are compatible with Gingerbread.
PS Ignore the fact that I thanked you. I clicked the wrong button

hi thank you.
seems then have to wait to the apps to be updated.
even the xda app does not work on nexus S!

I have just found a work-around for this problem.
everytime an app would not install, I just go into manage apps and clear the Market cache. Once the cache is cleared, app can be installed with no problem.

I'm having this problem too.
I don't think it's compatibility issues, clearing cache and force stopping the Market sometimes works, but it seems the next time I use the Market, one of my apps wont update until I do this again.
Any ideas?

The problem isn't unique to the Nexus S for me. My SGS i9000 (DocRamboned) has similar issue, especially with updates...lots fo them stall on the download, or download and fail on the install.
Perhaps there's some issue on the mothership's side of the market.

The "Music" app from CM7 looks pretty good.

Flash not working

I have seen posts of videos working in Dolphin, Maxthon, stock browser with Flash 10.1, but I have yet to see it work for me. When I click on a flash video, nothing happens.
I am on EB13 (from Samsung.exe update) and rooted with no custom roms. What can I check to get this working?

There should be a setting for Flash in Dolphin. The first time I open Dolphin, it always asks me during the setup if I want Flash on Demand, Always or never. I always put Always because the "On Demand" doesn't seem to work well.
I'd get you the setting in Dolphin but I'm in the process of flashing my phone.

Did you install flash from the market?

I installed flash from the market and flash is enabled in dolphin.
If I go to espn.com (this calls up the mobile site) and scroll down to bottom and click espn.com it will open the full site. If I then click on Sportscenter Videos tab, none of those play.
Can someone test that out as well? Are there other sites where this works so I can test as well?
Thanks in advance!

I don't have a "espn.com" link anywhere on the page that I can find. The last link I have is Sprint.com and no link shows "espn.com".

Dude what are you smokin'? ESPN.com doesn't have a link to Sprint.com???
To the OP: I followed your steps (with no trouble) and also cannot watch the videos on ESPN.com. I tried setting plug-in to ALWAYS and still no video. The website may be detecting the user agent string and disabling flash server side.
EDIT: just went there on my desktop and when I right click on a playing video it says "Disney's Media Player Framework" - this may be the cause of the problem, they are not using standard flash plug in for video.

I don't smoke. I consume edibles and pills. Sometimes I eat the ice cream but it doesn't always taste right. But I don't think you meant that to be a literal question, eh?
Here's a screenshot of ESPN.com when I navigate there through Dolphin HD. Not the greatest quality because I'm grabbing the screen through Droid Explorer video recorder but you can see, plain as day, the Spint.com as the very last link and no espn.com anywhere in that screen.

I usually test with pornhublive .com
Something about the flash on that site is unusual....it NEVER with Clockwork 3.0 OR CUSTOM ROMS.....but I works fine with stock roms on RFS

Help: HTC M8 Music app on HTC 10?

I didn't know where to post this so here goes...
My wife wants the HTC Music app that came off of the M8 on her HTC10. I was able to find the M8's .apk's but every time I try to install the music .apk I get the following error.
https://flic.kr/p/Ge2JnZ
Now, I know what you're thinking... just get a different app. Believe me when I say, I already tried...lol
So, Java wizards - what's the issue here?

Try this !

try installing this app.

Your wife is right to demand the HTC music app. I bought the HTC 10 and I'm really disappointed in the lack of HTC apps, gone is the gallery, gone is the music app and widgets, gone is the calendar app and widgets gone is the car app, I've replaced all except the car app, so thanks for this thread
And if anyone has the latest HTC car apk would be much appreciated

Missing the Music App on M8
Yes, I have also recently got the HTC 10 and missing the music app which was there on M8. It was easier to organise my music on that. Also I could edit any of the music to make it into a ringtone.

You are my savior!!! Thank you very very much!!
I don't like google music and gallery..

Make sure you allow "apps from unknown sources" in your settings and that you're trying to open the app from a file manager (I've had trouble sometimes just installing an apk from Downloads)

How to play youtube videos/music in the background.

As from the title you can see that I found the easiest way to play background YouTube's videos or music which doesn't require for you to download external apps that allow that. This allows the listening while the screen is off and while using other app (not sure didn't test on every app).
Note: I'm not sure if if there is a another post on this but just incase if someone don't know about it...
1) First of all chose the YouTube video/music you want to listen in the background while doing other stuff.
2) once the video/music is playing go to home screen and after going to the home screen press the power button once to lock your device.
3) then wake up your device again this should take you to the lock screen page as shown in the picture below
4) once you can see the lock screen that has notifications on it, then swipe the clock to the left which should show the name of the YouTube title.
That's it hopefully this does work forever as I am not sure if the android would potentially close YouTube after a while but yeahhhhhh. You lot probably already know about this but just wanted to share if somebody doesn't know it.

You need to have lucky patcher and adaway youtube. Don't let it update or you'll lose ad free.

Just tried, didn't work. It is greyed out. What still does work though is when you open the video in youtube, lock, and press play button on your headphones. It starts playing and will even continue going when you're playing from a playlist for example.

Read the text the point of this post is to allow background YouTube to work without any additional apps. Read
