[Q] Apps are removed from Market???

Did anyone notice the apps Shazam and Where are gone from Market downloads? Those are the best free apps out there and it is completely gone. I feel so lost now.

Just search google for the apk and sideload it...
Edit, Shazam is back not sure whats going on with Where.
Edit2, Where? must not be available on Rogers either. I use Poynt. It's just as useful to me.

WHERE isn't available from an AT&T connection, as they have their own WHERE on their Android phones.
How it's filtered I don't know.

thanks guys. I have t-mobile but Shazam and Where is still missing from Market. It must be a carrier thing but I thought we all share the same android Market. I even tried a search for Poynt and that wasn't in Market either. I do have the apk for Shazam and I tried to install it but It failed (the same install worked last time). So I think these two great apps are gone for good from T-mobile.

I can find Shazam here in the UK.

try sound hound. blows shazaam out the water

I just checked my market (Motorola Droid running CM v6.0.0) and both Where and Shazam both show up. So it must be a carrier thing, not an Android Market thing.

Such a shame but thanks for recommending Sound Hound. It works great. One down and one to go.

I'm pretty sure you can get poynt from the website (but it just may email you a link to the market I'm not sure).
http://poynt.com/android.html

yes, it's just a link to the market and it's not available off the market. But thanks anyways.

Have you tried the market enabler? I was told something about changing regions but I've never installed it. Might be worth a try if you have a free minute.

nope no different. anyone know of an app that will replace "Where"?

Every phone "shares the same Market" as you said, but we're not allowed to walk down the same aisles. Developers can filter their app to not be visible by certain carriers or in certain countries, so you may not see it on T-Mobile but somebody on Verizon might.
As for Where, there are a million of those location awareness apps that can replace it. They may not be as good or to your preference, but Poynt, Yelp, Geodelic, etc. might do the core features.

IMO, Google Places and GasBuddy replaces WHERE. If you really want the food etc type stuff, add Yelp too.
Or download the WHERE apk I suppose. It's around.

I have a nexus one running cm6 on T-Mobile USA and both of the apps show up on the market just did a quick search to make sure

The PayPal Mobile app disappeared for me from Verizon's market after I upgraded my Droid X to 2.2. Apparently it's still visible to 2.1 users, presumably since Verizon has been so slow about officially pushing out Froyo. I finally tracked down the APK and all is well.
The geographic/version limitations of the market are silly in the 'big picture' but I guess they make sense from a business standpoint for the carriers and everyone else getting a piece of the pie

I have the same specs as well but it still isn't visible in market. So I guess it's area specific? I'll give those other apps a try. Thanks guys. It's just more convenient when you have just one app that can complete multiple functions instead of having two or three apps.

Where did you find the PayPal apk? I've been trying to find it and get it from PayPal for quite some time now...
EDIT: Never mind. I was able to find the apk from Android Freeware.

They replaced Shazam for Shazam Encore now, so now its no longer unlimited tagging its replaced to 5 tags a month now. You have to buy it to get ad free and also get it unlimited tags

Best torrent app?

Does anyone have any experience with different torrent apps available? Currently using AndTor, cost $2.99. Pretty happy with it, cept it can only DL 1 torrent at a time.
Not looking for a torrent manager, but a full featured client.
Sent from my G2 using XDA App

Red Torrent/Red Torrent Lite is the only other one I know of.
I haven't actually had a reason to use it yet, so I don't know how well it works, but it includes an option to download only on WiFi, and to automatically restart when WiFi reconnects. (These settings are in the free Lite version, not just the Full)

Swarm is the best one I've used yet.
There were many steps and columns. It was most tranquil.

Just dl'ed the lite ver and giving it a shot. Thanks for the recommendation.

Seems red torrent takes forever to queue a torrent, sticking w/ AndTor for now....

Not sure why but redtorrent crashes my android 2.1 phone (Xperia x10) whenever I try to add a torrent.
I don't even know why people would charge for a client, all PC/windows/linux clients are free. I'm using tTorrent lite (free) but it's limitation is 100KBps download speed.

andTorrent (Cant post links yet. Google it)

Swarm ftw.

andtorrent is pretty ok

Having all sorts of issues wth andtor, but am sticking it out snce I already paid for it.
Dtor beta I tested for a bit but I kept getting fc's...and I said f-it.
I contacted the andtor dev and he's got some fixes/new-stuff on the way, so I'd keep an eye out there
Epic is as Epic does

how safe is it to torrent from a G2?..
like is t-mobile gona go all MPAA on my ass?

tTorrent is the best one I've used so far.

+1 for tTorrent.
Sent from my EVO 4G.

+1 for ttorrent, unless you don't want to download the whole torrent (it won't let you select individual files) then I use Swarm
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk

I really like swarm. The only problem I have with Swarm is that I couldn't find an option to stop downloading when I switch from WiFi to 3G network (though thanks to tasker I can automate it). In fact, I find that the program could use a lot more options.

the utorrent remote app is best

The one I am using at the moment is Swarm. Can really recommend it. Fast, stable and easy to handle.

Ya personally I love uTorrent. Great app and great program on a PC/Mac/Linux.

[APP] TeleNav Free Today

For all you TeleNav fans: I heard that it's now free on selected Tmobile phones, but when I found it on the market it simply says "Free today" under the app's detaliled information so hopefully others can get it. I have a mytouch 4G and didn't have trouble finding it or downloading it
Good luck! It now includes a FREE service and premium for $2.99
Just tried it and the basic service and it's really fast, i might prefer it to google nav
EDIT: Added apk, hope it helps!
EDIT 2: Found this on Captivate Apps Section, so please don't think I am taking any credit.
Apparently: "if you go to the Telenav OTA site at ota.telenav.com/tn and click T-Mobile as your carrier, then click the Vibrant 4G, it is completely compatible"
"Also, unlike Google Nav, TeleNav will continue to work without a tower signal, it will just tell you to turn without the street name"
Good luck. I have a myTouch 4G running CM7 nightlies and was able to find it on market and it works so good luck!

You should try copilot, no navi software can even compare with it, not even tomtom,navigon etc.
best navi app i used and seen: copilot!

I have sprint but didn't see it there

When I search the market for "TeleNav" I get one result: a chinese chat app made by "Telenav Software, Inc." Hardly any downloads, and the ratings are pretty bad.
Is there an off-market version of the real free TeleNav?

I don't know about off-market. But, the one I am talking about is called "TeleNav GPS Navigator" has 4 1/2 stars. I added apk

Look at post again, edited it. Added apk

Thanx for the upload. Unfortunately it seems that it only works if you give them an american phone number. I tried my dutch phone number and TeleNav claimed it was already used by someone else, so I got stuck on the login page.
It seems that the Android version of their app is locked to AT&T and T-Mob USA. When you select "unlocked" on their website it sends you to their WinMo app.

This is correct. It came pre-installed on the Sensation and I just needed to update it from the market. Nice alternative...I like choices.

Thumb Keyboard free today

Via Amazon App store:
http://www.amazon.com/Beansoft-Thumb-Keyboard/dp/B004X71YY2/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top

I would love this, but I cant download it in the UK!
I have the Amazon App store, but it says im not eligible.
Has anyone managed to get anything in the UK using this store?

It would be nice if some1 would upload it here

This is on my must have apps list!

That's against XDA policy. It is still a paid app, Amazon just has it on sale for $0. Tomorrow it will be back to regular price. Posting it here would be warez.
Have you guys ever seen TunnelBear?
http://www.tunnelbear.com/
It allows you to spoof another country on the internet from your PC. There is a free version of the account. Maybe you could get the app through the US Amazon.com? The free apps are available there too.

I purchased it a while ago and it is awesome. It has like 35 themes. I tried SwiftKey X but it screws with your words too much.
Thumb keyboard works much like a regular keyboard but just split for easy typing. I use the iPhone theme or Galaxy theme.
LG G2x - 2.3.5 MIUI
Asus Transformer - 3.2 Revolver

you don't need to spoof IP it only seems to check your amazon account address, I just created a temp account using a secondary email with a fake us address and it allows me to download the free apps when they come up with something i want.

Spotify on surface

With play.spotify.com you can Hear your music Form spotify on the Browser of your laptop...

Got my surface last night
I used the Windows RT Whitelist Flashtool to add play.spotify.com to the flash whitelist and it worked great!
Edit: since it uses flash, i'd imagine it could also work on android

WHy the hell are you using the whitelist tool still??? If you update your surface there is no longer any need for the whitelist, the only sites which are blacklisted are blacklisted because they are confirmed malicious on some way.

I just got my surface... so unlike others, I do not have much knowledge of the device and developments.
Windows seems to update incrementally so I guess it hasn't gotten me that far yet.
Went onto spotify website, it said something about flash...
used whitelist tool... spotify worked!

Yeah, you're more than a little behind the times. The Flash whitelist was removed from RT about half a year ago. I'm amazed your device was sold with the OS that badly out of date, in fact.
Oh, and Flash for Android was officially deprecated even earlier, and no longer works on most devices (plus the latest version available is badly outdated).

Shows the superiority of RT for web browsing. Fully fledged desktop browser, yet still plays nicely with touch. Sorry but chrome and firefox for android do not come even close to internet explorer, and I don't even like internet explorer normally, firefox probably comes closest but I have found to be generally more buggy in other areas and slower too so I discount that.
Kenif, update your surface.
Otherwise, OP, the site appears to work although I am genuinely surprised that there is no spotify app yet. That would be a much nicer solution.

you don't have to pay for the apps, all the apps do is give a nice interface to Spotify without opening the browser. They don't cost any more than the website.

Can you get Spotify for the RT yet as an app, I've used it for years, desktop at work, android tablet, android phone, now S-Pro tablet has it on for desktop and I have it on my N920 WP8 phone, one of the two apps I was missing on the RT was a wifi sniffer and Spotify...

48 hours, i think is for the prenium try, i use spotify since a long time, and i never spent anything.
Now i use the play.spotify.com on my RT and it work fine.
Prenium is great when you listen a long time... because after X hours ( i dont remember how many) you can't listen anymore. Prenium is pretty cool too, if you want to listen your music without any connection...

On a tangent...
If you're in the UK and on Virgin Media, they normally offer you 3 to 6 months of spotify premium for free

Yup free trial here from VM, although I did used to pay for it, I was on a £35pcm o2 contract, once that finished and I moved to GiffGaff I was paying £10pcm so the £9.99 for Spotify still meant I was paying less.
Once my trial is up then I'll see if I can get another trial, I only really use Spotify when driving to/from work as I dont have a stereo in the car...

Does this work? play.spotify.com

Clearly you didnt even read the original post which asked and had answered the very same question. Yes play.spotify.com works if you have either updated the software so flash player works on all sites (quite an old update now) or use the whitelist tool (and if you need the whitelist tool you are months behind update wise and should really drop into the windows update tool some time)

I tried it on my android smartphone after 48 hours i cannot hear any song ... "no streaming without premium"

Just bought my surface yesterday. I had to install a ton of updates. It was installing updates dated several months ago. You can easily sideload flash on most android phones and if you use the right browser it works ok but not great.
