Well that explains it.. They haven't done anything here in India, maybe because we already had access to paid apps

Here in holland they have seperated the info and comments. Now you can read much more comments instead of the latest three...

In Japan, we got the price changes (everything now is displayed in Yen), but nothing else. Automatic updating would be nice.

How you all get the new logo? I enter the android market, it is still showing the old market logo on my phone.
I only get the below paid apps :

It's not just the New Logo, it's the whole Froyo's Android Market! You can use this trick! Let me know if this doesn't work for you!

What is the point in getting Froyo market when we can't use the 2.x apps?

It's just a logo telling us we can use paid apps -_-. If it's 2.2 related, we would be able to see live wallpaper downloads too.
We are using 1.6. Not 2.2. Please don't go delusional now.
Chong - just try restarting your phone lor. Maybe the icon will be refreshed that way.

There are many benefits of getting the new Market! You get Auto Updating Feature in Market, You also get Update all feature and Real time Search Suggestions in Market.

You can't see Live Wallpapers just because your handset is on Android 1.6! Android Market doesn't list apps which are not compatible to your handset based on Android Version. I said, you would get this market eventually if you fall within 32 upgraded countries by goggle for Paid Apps. But this is just a workaround to force that Update now!

Well I tried the tutorial, doesn't seem to work for me.
Infact now I can't install any updates to my apps. (Download failed - Unknown error)
Luckily I have a backup of my market.apk so I'm going to reinstall

It should be working, You might be updating an app which you didn't install from market but it has an update for you. Try searching a new app and isntall it! Didn't you get the New Market through this?
And you need not re-install the Market Apk, just restore the original market settings from the app itself and it would be enough!

That's what I'm trying to say. Cos you used the word "Froyo", so I thought you're trying to say this market change is 2.2-related, which is not.
The icon change is just an indication that there is a change in the application, that's all =/

It is 2.2 related in the way that this is how the market works on Android 2.2. I guess Google decided to change things on their own, instead of waiting for OEMs.
Also, I don't have the new market, and I probably won't get it any time soon.

Unnecessary apps

in the the process of debloating
can we have a list of what each apk does exactly so that we can customize our debloating ... data about unnecessary apps are contradictory sometimes and/or incomplete

I haven't deleted them from the phone, but simply disabled some of their SamsungLINK, SamsungON, Story board apps from starting/running.

Trouble installing 3rd party apps.

I'm trying to install some of the Humble Indie Bundle 6 games on my N4 and I'm running into a problem I've never faced before. The APK files download just fine, but when it comes to actually opening them to start the installation, it won't install. The button that says "install" does nothing when I press it. I checked in my security settings and "unknown sources" are allowed. I included screenshots of both these in the attached files. I even tried un-selecting the "verify apps" option, in case the humble bundle app had been removed from their white list for some reason, it still won't install.
I thought it might be a bug with the Humble Bundle beta app so I tried to uninstall and reinstall it, but it too is getting stuck on the installation. It downloads just fine but it won't install. I've tried rebooting my phone, still no luck. I'm on the latest Jelly Bean 4.2.2. Has anyone else been getting this problem, or does anyone have any idea on how I could fix it? I didn't pay much for the games but it sort of sucks to have bought them and be unable to play any of them like this.
I'd like to try with some more third party apps to see if it's all of them, or if it's just the Humble Bundle APKs that are causing me trouble (if it's the later I can probably contact Humble Bundle and ask them for assistance), but I'm not familiar with those. Could someone please recommend some good safe ones I can test out?

My humble bundle beta installed fine. So at least you know the app should work. Sorry can't help you more. Hopefully someone else has a solution. Silly question... have you tried rebooting?

are you running paranoid android? disable halo, or so ive read.

Any app that requires permission to draw over other apps can potentially cause what you're experiencing. Examples include but are not limited to:
- the HALO feature in PA ROMs
- Screen filter apps
- Other floating apps

Could any of that happen if I haven't rooted?
Also,
I've just tried to reinstall TubeMate, another third party app I like. It's APK also refuses to install, which probably means there's a problem with my phone and not just the Humble Bundle app. I'm starting to think I'll have to factory reset the phone, which is certainly do-able, just... not very fun.

how much storage space do you have left in your phone?

Yes, this can happen without root access. I've seen your problem addressed several times in multiple forums and ALL of them is because of a floating app.
Look through your app list. Is there ANY app that, as a feature, floats on top of other apps?
Eg, Facebook Messenger, Screen Filter, Floating Stickies, AirCalc, etc
Just force stop them and you should be able to sideload apk's again.

simms22 said:

The phone says 1.68 GB are free, but when I plug it into my desktop it tells me 1.57 GBs. So... somewhere between those two.
EDIT:
Found it... It was the Twilight app (no, not THAT Twilight... lol), it's an app that tints the whole screen a slight redish color so it doesn't hurt my eyes too much when I use the phone in the evening. That must count as a "floating". The moment I disabled that I was able to successfully install the APK. YOU SIR, ohyearar, have won a thanks.

Annoying Pop Up Ads

I have a Note 3 in Canada with Rogers and I am getting these extremely annoying pop up ads as soon as I unlock my phon it would pop up. It is basically a box in the middle of the screen different websites usually NSFW that give two options of either downloading or checking later. I have tried Push Detector and other Adware detector but they don't find any issues.
Please help.
Thank you.

If you have a rooted device you can always install Greenify and simply just hibernate all the apps you don't use.

None of the standard apps should do that -- and if Rogers has installed bloatware that does this then they should be taken to task.
It is almost certainly some app you installed,

What is happening when you click long on him ? Try keep finger little longer of him.

I tried holding the ad for a while to maybe the app info, but it wouldn't give me any option.
I can definitely feel my Note 3's performance has slowed down and battery drains much faster.
I used Greenify as well, using only the Apps that I am certain shouldn't have an adware but no dice.

Use Minmin guard and r xprivacy modules for xposed framework...
Minmin guard stops those annoying popup ads being downloaded from the net. Please note however that any popup downloaded already is still there and will be displayed until you clear cache and dalvik cache...
Xprivacy offers you the choice of allowing apps the right to use or block certain privelages, things like like access imei/contact lists/accounts and access to the internet and also root privelages... This is essentially a firewall that requires your authorisation to allow new apps the right to use your phone how it wants...

Sounds like you need to do a full wipe and stay away from that App. It's most likely a virus that will keep doing this. Do you install a lot of third-party apps? Like, you didn't find it on Google Play Store and you just downloaded it from internet and installed it?

I was thinking maybe I should just do a wipe and then see what happens.
I don't download a lot of third party apps but I have downloaded some.
How about clearing cache and Dalvik cache as the other poster had suggested?
My devise is rooted, maybe just back up the essential apps and install a new ROM ?

Maybe you should check your battery usage in Settings. If it is draining your battery, you should see the app on the list? Unless you know what app is causing it, you probably install it later and get it back. No, Dalvik and Cache clearing won't fix your problem.

If you rooted try in this way. Backup all user app with titanium backup.
Then uninstall all suspect and new installed app. if ad disappear then restore one by one with TB and see what make this popup

Fine job making a Windows program. Unfortunately I do not know most of those apps so I will not select them. Is it too much to ask someone for a list of apk name versus function name?

The apk name is listed along with the packagename in the list. If you are unsure what things are safe to block/disable. There are plenty of people on the forum that would be willing to help you.

I did not see the package name so I will have run it again and read more carefully or try to change the size of that field.

Here's one thing to think about also, by accident I blocked the Google stock email , not the Gmail. I went back to unblock and I had to re-enter all my emails back again. So what I'm saying after a block and then an un-block it wipes the app. Did you expect that to happen or should I expect that to happen for most apps be turned back on?
