Camera firmware installer on Market?

So I was checking out the new GpsRestore app on the market when I noticed that Samsung Mobile also has published a Camera firmware installer app for the AT&T Captivate. Has anyone tried this out? It doesn't really list what changes were made.

I run it and it says my firmware is current.

I downloaded it and it installed something LOL. I'm running Captivate 2.3b6

I installed it as well, but I haven't noticed any differences...
Does anyone know the changelog?

I sent a message to samsung support and they are checking. The market says v10.9.07 and when i installed it, app manager took my camera firmware from v1 to v2. Something changed, but the menus look the same to me. So no idea.

It got removed off the market?

I was just wondering the same thing... I cant find it anymore...

I checked the app list after finding the gpsrestore one and other than the one i found immediately the rest are marked internal use only. Why stick up internal apps to the marketplace?

Probably because they want an easy way for testers to test fixes without enabling sideloading or teaching people how to sideload.

Camera firmware
I installed the firmware, and now my camera no longer works. It loads, but when I try to take a pic, it says "camera failed", and then closes the camera app. I checked my software, (fring is not installed), I am running Cog 2.3b6 ROM.
Teach me to jump on something... lol
EDIT: Flashed my ROM to Perception Build 5, camera works again... Cleared cache at the same time...

[Q] Market.apk for At&t with Cognition 3.01

Howdy,
I use a captivate on At&t's network and I was using Cognition 2.36b with no problems(regarding the Market). Now I've installed Cognition 3.01 and the Market does not allow me to bill to my At&t account.
I assume this is because 3.01 is based off a rogers modem(from what I've read??)
Is there anyway to get an At&t version of the market? Or fake the location?
I see V 2.2.11 is out...will these fix the issue?
Thanks a ton for the help! I really appreciate it

don't know if this will work, but download market access: http://amip.tools-for.net/wiki/android/marketaccess
and set it AT&T (310410 I believe) and see if that helps
edit: bah, just downloaded to take a quick look-see, but seems it's already set to 310410 for me and I don't have the bill-to-carrier option

I tried replacing the Vending.apk and MarketUpdater.apk from Cogn2.38.
Also, tried the MarketAccess app.
Nothing seems to get past the problem and let the Market work as AT&T. Probably some Rogers stuff in the rom blocking it.

I also had no luck with the market access app. I never did try 2.38, I assume that the billing option was available there?
Thanks for the replies! Hopefully we can come up with something as a fix
I've also tried Market Enabler with no luck...

Not here either
I'm running 2.3b8 and don't have the option anymore either. It was available on JH7 so it's something with the ROM.

It could be att blocking it....
I am on cog2.3b8 and it worked a week ago. And i tried just yesterday BEFORE i flashed 3.0 and it no longer worked.

If ive done my research correctly, 2.x is based on AT&T's stock rom. 3.x is based on rogers version of 2.2. That would make sense why the market isn't working, and why our markets did work with 2.x versions of the rom. I just dont understand why the market enabler apps aren't working...
Hopefully a solution pops up soon

It works fine for me.

Theres a app call MY MARKET, it will let u browse all the avaiable apps unblocked

Also, i changed my home on my browser. might want to give that a try. i went to google.com, instead of the rogers homepage.

My home was google.com automatically. The MY Market app is good to browse other carriers apps, but it doesn't allow billing to AT&T
Thanks for the continued ideas...

Market Hijacked
I don't know if this is related or not, but I'm posting here because this showed up on my ATT Captivate a couple days after I flashed Cognition 3.01
Whenever I bring up the Market App, I get the following message:
" Warning: Your device may not be compatible with Android Market.
Contact your device's manufacturer for more information. "
Also- most of the apps that show up are bogus, and simple searches provide no results. Graphically - it looks just like the normal Android Market app - but it is filled with a lot of nonsensical apps - along with a few genuine (?) apps.
Most have no user reviews, or have reviews like: "this is a test"
Many are "authored" by devs with names like: "Testing pubsite" , "UK developer" , "tester r35" , and many more, similarly named.
In addition to this, my market history ("My apps") was EMPTY, even though the (many) apps I downloaded and installed after the Cognition flash all seem to be available and functioning properly.
This behavior did not appear until yesterday - I had been using the Andriod Market without incident for ~ 3days after flashing the Cog 3.01 ROM.
The only difference I saw was that the AT&T tab on the Market's startup screen was replaced with "My apps" - but I expected that with a custom ROM.
It would seem MY phone's Market app is taking me to a different site - not THE Genuine Android Market.
Is there any way to patch the phone's MArket app to restore either :
the Market released with COG,
the "normal" AT&T Market app, or
ANYTHING else that would be useful ??
Thanks in advance for the help !!!

I may be mistaken, but isn't your android id linked to the market? I wonder if you need to use Android ID changer to change back to your original Android ID?

[Q] Update Applications from Market?

This may be a dumb question, but I haven't been able to figure it out for the life of me. On the transformer, is there a way to manually search for application updates in the market? I know on my Captivate running Froyo that I just open Market, Hit Menu and choose My Apps that I get a listing of What's Installed and what updates are available. I noticed that I had an update available on my phone, but when I go into My Apps on Android I've never seen an update available for any of the apps yet. Just wanted to see if there was a way to force it. I thought about Clearing Market Data under applications which is Easy in Froyo, but Don't know how smoothly that would go on Honeycomb.

when you go into the market and choose my apps, any of the apps that have an update available should show up above the "installed apps"

Maybe some of the apps are not updated for the tablet. The devs can decide which OS the apps (and the updates) will support. But as the previous poster stated, all updates should be listed on top of your installed apps in "My Apps".

[Q] Market Apps are now incompatibe! Is it so??

Most of the latest apps at android market says it is incompatible? Why is it so? I downloaded a few from other sources and works really fine! Is it the end of our phone's support for games?

just look in which section we landed!
and just cause the android market says something, doesnt make it so
On a sidenote though... ARe you sure that you
1. are logged into the browser using your phone's market account?
2. are you using market enabler on your phone? and if so, do you start it on boot or just when u need it?
the browser market thing shows ALL apps, even apps that are not available in your country so its always best to look for them in the market app directly

1. This usually happens when you use other market sources like Amazon where you get paid apps for free and then you try to update them from android market.
2. This also happens if you installed warez (cracked apps) from sites like Cyberandroid.com and then try to update them from market.
Otherwise there is no chance of this happening.
You will need to update them from the source you got them.

Plz post question in general section.

No this is not true. I had the same issue (Market app saying that app is not compatible with my phone) when I had the phone running with a changed LCD density. After visiting the Market via the app also the website showed me that many apps are incompatible. The only solution for me was to reset the density. After that everything went back to normal.
I also do not see where ayushextreme said that he is using a specific way to install apps from the market. Not the app nor via browser.
But I agree to vishal24387. This question is something for the general section.

Question about App not downloaded from Market

Hello,
I have a question about apps not downloaded or purchased directly from the market. I sometimes use Getjar to get some apps for my Skyrocket and the Market does not see these as purchased. However, when I link the app to the market using root tools, it does come up as an update is available. However, I can't update from Market because it tells me I did not purchase the app.
Is there a way to do this? If not, how to I keep the app updated?
Thanks,

You need to purchase it to update through the market. Otherwise you have to wait until someone uploads the latest .APK file to getjar.

I use getjar to test apps to see how much I like them. However, the updates on certain apps when they are released are important to me and I usually do not like waiting. So if I download an app from getjar and really like it I will then fork over the money in the Market so I can get the updates when they are released.

Getjar and Amazon

I would agree with this and will start doing this. Yes, I do like to download from here to test the apps to make sure I like them. I don't like to wait around for updates and I still can't get Getjar to identify ANY of my apps from them. Never had been able to update. I still get the stupid facebook link. I don't want a facebook account.
I also with NEVER buy an app from Amazon again. They take their sweet time to post an update. They state they "check" the updates for approval prior to being posted. That's crap. Will stick to market then. Thanks.
