[REQ] Amazon (UK) app - General Questions and Answers

Hi,
Wondering if anyone knew of a working app for Windows mobile (6.1 pref!) to use Amazon from your mobile phone? The website is a little cumbersome. Ideally something akin to the existing Android/Iphone/Blackberry app perhaps. But the main feature being to quickly look up a product's price, and save it to wishlist/basket would be nice too.
Saw ShopEdge, from edgeq. com/ shopedge.aspx , which would be a nice start, but it won't work on my handset (Orbit 2) and they don't provide support. It loads fine but every search results in message: "Amazon system is not available through this device at this time. Please try after some time" even after trying for several days when the internet connection works for everything else.

Moved as not software release.

There's only 17 applications in the German Marketplace. That's a bit disappointing, considering they have been advertising their Marketplace among developers for half a year now.
I hope that it gets better soon.
How many are there in other countries?
There appears to be a good few apps on there - more than 17 as I look at it - maybe over 50 (im in the UK).
very few free apps - maybe 3?
I think I will wait until im sure what the situation will be with apps purchased and lost due to ROM flashing. Do you get to download again for free?
In the Netherlands only 4 apps, Microsoft Tag, My Phone, Facebook and 'De Telegraaf' (a Dutch newspaper). A bit disapointing...
Guys,
How do you get the application for it? I'm still using the stock ROM that came with my HD.
Cheers.
Well it not live until tomorrow so any apps are a bonus till then.
Yes, even 50 apps is disappointing. There's some 20-30000 apps for Windows Mobile out there and they could only get 50 of them into their Marketplace within 7 months?
Well... it's not even official yet, so let's wait a bit and see what happens.
Not working for me. The cab downloaded and installed but when trying to launch it searches for an update and informs me:
"We encountered an error while trying to reach the Windows Marketplace server. Would you like to try again?"
Have they switched it off again?
Mine installs but then it cant connect because it says the servers are unavailable. hmmmmm
It's still working here.
Could all of you please tell us what country you are in? That would help a lot.

But I don't think that suddenly tomorrow the Marketplace is full of apps. But lets wait and see!

My crystalball says otherwise .
The market place is still working for me (UK)
The imortant thing is quality not quantity. Obviously it's only just launching and WM isn't as sexy as it used to be, so it was always going to be a quieter launch than we'd hope for. However, I'd rather see an app store with 5,000 quality apps instead of one with 200,000 where there's 542 different "oh look an animated glass of beer" apps, a quarter of the apps are to cover the same OS deficiencies, with ultimately the same core 5,000 quality apps that are now so much harder to find.
That said, WM desperately needs both quality and quantity of games if it and the app store are going to make any real return to consumer level awareness. At least due to the OS's heritage we have an incredibly strong portfolio of productivity apps.
I had that same initial response but it worked when I tried second time around. Hopefully they are trying to load as many apps as possible.
Might be smart to submit an app.

As per my post header, I'm in the UK on Vodafone.
Not working
UK O2
Touch Pro
Working in Norway
But only 2 apps. Facebook and Microsoft tag reader
Still working in the UK on T-Mobile.
Just installed MS Tag and the install process is pretty slick and pain free and unobtrusive - thought it was going to launch the usual cab installation interface.
One thing though is that it didn't ask where I would like to install to, Memory or SD Card, hmmm.....
EDIT: Tag reader installed to memory - hope this isn't the case for all apps - there should be an option to set install location.
Pardon my ignorance, but how do you install Marketplace on the HD? I am on T-Mobile UK.
Thanks,
Petrov.

[WIDGET] Toogle Wifi Hotspot

I wrote another small tool just to enable/disable hotspot feature from home screen. it called "HotSpot Toggle", download it, enjoy it and leave it (hopefully good) comments/rating plz
Also any bug report/feature request can be post here or directly to my email address (provided on the app page in market).
Can't find it on the market. I've looked on my device and via AppBrain
What is ur phone?
I just published it 1 hour ago, maybe killing market app and open it again helps, or just wait a little
I can see it on the market.

Nexus One. CM5.0.8.1 In the UK
Must be regional. I found it here http://www.cyrket.com/p/android/bohlool.net.toogleHotspot/ but when I scan the barcode I get no result on my phone. I grabbed the apk off your site so will try that out
EDIT: Now I just get "There is a problem parsing the package"
Interesting, because I can see it without any problem on my Nexus One stock 2.2. Did you restart the market app? this is the link EasyShare gave me: http://market.android.com/search?q=pname:bohlool.net.toogleHotspot
Let me know when you managed to install it.
Found it in the market. Downloading and testing now. Thanks!
Great job! Thank you!
Great widget! Placed it on QuickDesk for rapid access

Nicely done! I don't know why this didn't come standard. This will be permanently fixed on my desktop as I often use my broadcasting abilities for my friends to be able to access "Words with Friends" when their iPhones aren't getting 3G coverage.
Fantastic App mate
I think you should release it free here, but charge 0.99c for it on the Market
Congrats

User comments are strange
I've check the comment for my app, despite the fact that I said this app is not supported on Droid(s) because they disabled or restricted WIFI, I got lots of (30) 1 star with commnets like "dosn't work on droid, ..."
but this one is interesting:
"DO NOT USE THIS APP...DEV PUT A 'DO NOT INSTALL ON SDCARD' RESTRICTION ON THIS APP SO IT WASTES PHONE'S INTERNAL MEMORY. Try Tether Share FREE!"
The app is "132KB" and it is a widget and most launcher apps will not show widgets if they installed on sd-card.
I can't understand some users, but thats the downside of democracy.
Version 2.0
Just updated the app to 2.0 supporting Android 4.x (tested on 4.1.1). Feels like cold cases by opening this forum again

Android Brower Issue-multiple pop up windows

Hey Guys,
I have an issue with some of the browsers available for the android phone.
I would like to access work through my phone via VPN web access. I am sucessfull at this.
When I open my work page, it opens up in a popup window. This is okay too as I allow pop ups under settings.
The issue is, when I click on a case in this pop up window, there is an error thats comes up saying"Cannot open another pop up window, only one pop up window at a time". It is trying to open up my case in another pop up window, which it blocks.
I have used froyo 2.2 on a Nexus one, dell streak, galaxy s tab and motorola droid.
I also used Dolphin HD and Dolphin, with the same results.
I downloaded opera, and there was not even an option for allowing pop ups.
Do you guys have any ideas?
I would like to be able to do my work with out having to lug around a laptop everywhere I go.
Thanks again and Happy Holidays!
Maluman
I would love to find out if this is an Android restriction or there are indeed browsers that support multiple pop ups (or can be tweaked to do so). There are some legit websites that actually rely on pop ups for various purposes (chat rooms for example). Old fashioned and annoying yes, but why punish the end users for it?
Darn, I have the same issue on my HTC EVO. My work website uses pop-ups, but I can't open the link on the pop-up that uses another pop-up! All legitimate pop-ups, not ad-ware. There must be a way to allow trusted sites or something.
Is there a solution to this issue??
Has anyone found an answer/fix to this issue? It is definitely an Android issue b/c I have the new HTC Sensation running Android Gingerbread 2.3, and everyone I know w/ an Android phone from 2 years ago to present has had this same issue....we can not open more than 1 popup window at a time. Like all have posted in this thread, I'm trying to access a number of different applications within my job's website (SWAlife - website for Southwest Airlines employees but specifically for flight attendants to change/trade their trips) and it relies on opening popups within popups but it just doesn't work w/ Android devices.
I've tried the stock browser, Dolphin, Opera mini, Skyfire, rotating the phone horizontally, keeping the setting in Landscape only mode while browsing, and of course, allowing Popups in the browser settings. I also need the browser to allow double-clicks to be just that - a double-click.....not a zoom in and out function.
Please, can someone tell me if there is a fix somewhere to this problem??? I'm interested in buying the new Samsung Galaxy S II but refuse to if I'm not able to access all elements of my job's website. Oh, and someone made a SWAlife app that's accessible with iPhone only (works perfectly & allows popups to open within popups) but I HATE to have to buy an iPhone just b/c of this app. :-(
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide!!
You know the SWAlife app is in the Android market too, but you will not be able to check the overtime call out list, not built in to the app yet, same with from iPhone app.

Yea, I've used the Android SWAlife app for some time but it only employees to make non-rev listings, provides company news and operational updates. No Crew Web Access or FA scheduling. In otherwords, this app is pretty useless :-( The one for iPhone, however, is EXACTLY what we need for Android. It allows pilots and FAs to manipulate their schedules in CWA (Inflight Crew Web Access)....it looks identical to what's in SWAlife on the web and functions just as if you were on a PC. Are you aware of another app in the Market that I might be missing that allows that? Thanks for your help!

I know this is an old problem, but try xScope browser in the market. I needed to be able to open more than one popup window and the website I was trying and failing to access with about 10 other browsers would not work until I tried this one.
I have the same problem. Your tip sounds good. I will give this browser a try. I hope that the search has an end.
This browser works for my sites where I need more than one pop-up. Thanks for the valuable information.

the missing xap/application

this has happened before on my hd7 and i would hard reset it, and now its happened to my titan, my at&t wireless account app has disappeared after i updated it from the marketplace, it does not show up in my hub list, yet when I go to the market to reinstall it all it does is say "share" meaning that i already have it installed but it isnt visible for me to access.
does anyone know how to bring back this ghost application to my hub list?
I have a similar problem on my Mozart too, I installed a .XAP game (please don't stake me), but it didn't appear anywhere on my phone. Now it's taking up space and the marketplace says I already have it installed on my device. I also tried redeploying the .xap. It installs and everything's fine, but I still can't find it anywhere.
Oh em gee I found my app, it was renamed myAT&T , no longer under the As but under the Ms durrrr!
Sent from my TITAN X310e using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
I'm still having the problem, can't find them anywhere.
You know, I'd be way more inclined to help you if you'd just bothered to actually pay for the game. Piracy is pretty much a forbidden subject here on XDA, and you're not going to get much respect if you come here asking for help with it.
I'd bother paying for the games if I actually could you know, but since there's no Zune Marketplace in my country I can't. Piracy isn't the reason I'm coming here for help. It's just a .xap problem that could be from an application from any source.
I thought you said you were able to check the marketplace, and it said it was already installed? I know there used to be countries where WP7 was available but Marketplace wasn't, but I thought that got fixed with Mango.
Argh.. I'll give you the benefit of a doubt and hope you're more legit than you sound ("don't stake me"? Really?). Check the Xbox Live app, otherwise known as the Games hub. I keep mine pinned to my Start screen for easy access.
I can use the marketplace, just when it comes to billing for my UK account it requires a UK credit card and I don't have a thing like that. Virtual credit cards and etc. don't work. Anyways. It's nowhere to be found in the games hub or the applications. If I try to download the trial it gets halfway and says 'Attention required' with error code 8103010d, which, according to Microsoft's forums hasn't been resolved yet. I don't want to have it as much as I want to delete it right now.

[Q] iGoogle Mobile already discontinued - replacement?

I used iGoogle for my homepage for all my mobile browsers. (www.google.com/m/ig) It had the same feeds you have setup on your regular browser which is associated with your igoogle login on a PC. Unlike the regular iGoogle, the mobile version would show the google search bar at the top and had a single line for each of your igoogle feeds. When you would click on one of the names it would expand to show the last 10 topics of the feed, each a link to go the website if desired. Click again and it would contract the feed back to a single line.
I must have been the only one in the world who used this as a mobile homepage since I can't find any complaints about it no longer working but to me it was the ideal mobile browser homepage and I cannot find a substitute. Anyone have an idea how to get it back or replicate this functionality?
You aren't alone. I used it all the time on my mobile. It is gone now. I'll let you know if I find a replacement other than my.yahoo.com, which is OK, but not nearly as good as iGoogle was.
Why replace when you can still use it? Since apparently no one else in the world knows of this trick, and I need to archive it somewhere before I forget it again and stupidly wipe my device without taking note of it, point your lovely mobile device browsers to http www google com ig?source=mofe&hl=en (add appropriate /'s and .'s where needed, stupid ridiculoous posting requirements) and watch your igoogle return to life at least until the official decommisioning, anyway. You can even use that URL on a desktop machine to force igoogle back to the old style, too.
Tks. I should have tried this forum first.
:good:
