Official BBC News APK Wanted

BBC just released their official News app for Android, but it's not available for US in the Market.
Can someone [probably in the UK] share the APK???

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/24917729/bbcnews.apk

Is there a way to get this to work in the USA?

Yeah mine just says "Application not installed" on my HD2 running gingerbread.
Edit: With market enabler I was able to change my country ID to a UK one and eventually the market website recognized my phone as elligible. I was able to install it from my PC just now.
Double edit: The live stream portion of the app still doesn't work - it says "not available in your area" but the text news stories work.

They just released it? I've had this app for the past 6 months...I live in Canada, not sure if that matters?

This is the official BBC News App. The other one is not.

I'd never thought of using Market Enabler for stuff like this. Very nice. Thanks for the tip.
I ended up changing it to O2, number 23410. Installed without a hitch (or reboot).

I was pretty surprised a refresh of my browser did the trick - pretty neat indeed. That's the same code I used as well .

Not sure why the apk in the Dropbox link (633kb) didn't work, but here's the copy from my phone (591kb):

Thanks, it works
Edit: Dammit, Live news and other videos doesn't work

No scrolling widget

Same here, but yours worked for me on my Atrix and Xoom Much appreciated.
Now, BBC just needs to give some real Honeycomb love.

It works. First time mine phone says "Application not installed" and second time the application was installed without any problems. Link to the livestream is missing unfortunately . Thanks for the APK File. Looks like a great app. I would consider about moving to the UK. lol.

As others have said, no live stream, but it works well otherwise.

any ideas how to make it landscape?

Hi guys,
There is a new BBC News app for tablets. Can someone from UK download it and post it here?

(App) Samsung ChatON service

Free messenger service from Samsung. Works on Android phones, Samsung Bada devices, and feature phones. Also devices on other mobile platforms as well like iOS and BlackBerry. Also web client to work from PC.
Check http://www.chaton.com/
Check video on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMPEm147BPo
Reported first on: http://samsungtomorrow.com/1567/
Official Samsung blog: http://translate.google.com/transla...amsung.com/index.jsp&sl=ko&tl=en&hl=&ie=UTF-8
Rumored to be launched in IFA Berlin.

It's kind of like WhatsApp, but what I really like about ChatON is the fact that you can access it from the web.
I'll sure take a look, when it comes out!

Hopefully this is good sounds fantastic. We need more competitors rolling out messaging services to rival and or make a better product close as BBM.

sounds great.

When will this be available for download??

Wanna give this a try, hope it's good and catches on.

So,I dub thee Unforgiven...

Market or Samsung Apps! Search 'ChatON' in Samsung Apps, or search for 'Samsung ChatON' in the Market, be sure to +1 it!

I was really looking forward to use this app but it seems its not compatible with landscape oriented phones. I have the Samsung Galaxy pro and it appears that its not compatible. I don't know how they didn't make it compatible with my phone being that it has a hardware keyboard and its mainly use for messaging. I hope they solve this because its not going to be my phone only but the two new galaxy pros.
Edit: I installed with the apk and apparently it works in landscape also. All that is left is that the verification code arrives in my phone.
Sent from my GT-B7510L using xda premium

Codes !!!!!
All verification codes (10) I received SMS are wrong

APK in Zip file
Please note, the Zip is NOT flashable.
Market link is here too https://market.android.com/details?id=com.sec.chaton

Bizarre. I downloaded the ZIP and installed on my device, but the market link says it is not compatible with my device model. Um, it's installed and running. Now, I still have not gotten the verification code via sms, but it is installed and running. Way to go Samsung.
Edit: It actually says it cannot be installed in my country (I'm in Canada), yet when I opened it, it knew I was in Canada and set the country code properly.)

I installed it first time using samsung Apps (where the APK is from) and got the verification code instantly.
I've removed it and installed from the market (so I can get proper updates) and yeah.... no verification code
I say give it time, probably too many requests

Yeah, that's what I figured. It most likely is not available in my country right now as well because they are trying to "roll" it out over a few countries so there isn't so many requests for codes. Us "geeks" jumping the gun

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.sec.chaton&feature=search_result

i can't get the verification code but the app seems to be working on my nexus s without force closing. the market says my phone is incompatible

LAST.FM FREE - Now removed from Market

Sure, this app allowed you to download songs for free... but it was still a cool interface & a nice quick way to load up a track(especially old hard-to-find ones). I just had the .apk installed last night but loaded a new rom today & then saw it was gone.
Sadly, this was an .apk I didnt keep a backup of on my pc otherwise i'd try installing it again now. Anyone else used it?

Was it the official Last.fm app? If that's the case, I'm still seeing it. Humm.
Market Link.

I followed your link to the market and it seems working fine for me but there are many disappointing comments about its use in my country (Greece) even if you are a premium user... The link is active though

Indeed... I can also view the market link so we can safely assume that the app itself, wasn't actually removed. Also, Greek users are very disappointed by it because one cannot listen to music from his phone even if he/she is a premium user, as dimnik83 stated... which is in fact strange. English, German and American users, seem to be enjoying the use of this app to its fullest but us Greeks... well that's a different story... sadly. That aside, Last.fm is still up and running on the market.

im not talking about the official app. it was another app that was entitled Last.FM Free.
if you do a google search for " last.fm free " it shows up on the search results(7th link), but when you click it it's gone.

even whozzaat free message to india apps is deleted from the market..
how do we get them ?..

Same case ... searching for "Last.FM Free Version 3.1.1" NOT the official Last.FM Apk.
Could someone upload the file here?
It is removed from the Android Market. That would be great ! Thanks in advance.

Sorry for double posting ... but ;-)
here the link to the forum with current version of Last.FM Free

download and enjoy ..

Sounds like the official version will be discontinued soon as well:

Apparently its not cost effective on Android but its fine on Xbox Live and Windows Phone 7. I find that kind of odd since Android has a lot higher user base than Windows Phone. But I bet Microsoft made a deal with them.

that's a bummer

I really hope you get this.
I emailed the developer of this app cos I had it on a phone from 2010, even though I couldn't directly view detail for the app, the developer name was right underneath it.
Developer: Danik
Actual application download:
music free android dot com
I JUST joined this site, just to give you specifically that information after googling last.FM free this link was first.
It won't let me post the actual link.
You are ultra mega welcome!!!

[Q] Any alternative to ShareKM?

Hi, I have used ShareKM (from playstore) to share the keyboard and mouse of the pc to the android device. It was usefull for many reasons, but it seems that the developer stop the project (I don't know it for sure). Now I have a message that tells me the beta apk expired and it stops and exits.
Do you know any other alternative to share the keyboard and mouse of a PC with and android device?
P.D.: Synergy is another option, but it is alpha and doesn't work very well.
Thank you.

I would like to hear a very solid alternative for sharekm too !

I can only guess you did not install the server program from the official source (my website) and somehow were a victim of a faked or modified program.
My app definitely does NOT change any browser mainpage (are you talking about the server computer or the Android device?). It also definitely does NOT contain any virus. I hear from some virus scanners (Panda Security) detecting individual threads in the server program, but they are always false alarms based on the vague heuristics those scanners rely on.
I can only ask you to download the Free version from Play Store and server from my website (fdmobileinventions.blogspot.com) and hopefully give it another try :fingers-crossed:

What specific server version did you download? Could you send me the link you used? Are you sure you used DeskDock and not another app/program? Did you probably install ADB drivers from a shady source?
I'm 100% sure my program definitely does not change any browser start page nor contain any virus.

[MOD] Spotify tablet mode

Good evening!
If you're reading this, then you for sure know what Spotify is. We all love listening to music and, ugh, that's the synonym of Spotify!
Unfortunately, this work could be used for two fully opposite reasons, one of which is against the XDA rules, so I had no other choice but to close this thread (and remove links). I hope you understand me and sorry for the inconvenience.
Feel free to read the history below. It was a fun ride!
Time ago, the app landed on our lovely Android platform for both tablets and phones and honestly who wasn't excited?
Soon after, forced shuffle mode and limited number of skips were also introduced and I agree that there must be a reason to purchase Premium after all. Luckily, this restriction was not enabled on tablets, but a problem that appears is that far from all tablets are detected as ones - mainly the "smaller" ones. This [bug/miss-code] activates the restriction on your tablet, and as a fix was needed from either side, here was my solution.
This mod was created for all those "small tablets" that are incorrectly recognized so that you can use Spotify the way it was meant to be used.
ViRb3 said:
Regarding Facebook log in issue:
The signature/private hash (or not) of this app was not matching the original one Spotify had registered on Facebook. Absolutely understandable since this was a modified version.
As suggested by Romain12345 (thank you!), can you log in with your Facebook credentials instead of clicking on the "Log in with Facebook" button.

MEGA is never down, it only needs the app for android if you want to download from phone. That's the reason I personally won't mirror.
About installing, you need to have "Unknown sources" enabled in your Security settings. Then just open the APK and install it as normal. If you still can't figure it out check YouTube for thousands of tutorials.

Server is down

@ViRb3 It doesn't work on gingerbread android again...
I think it's a problem of apk version because on Google play it was written that the version varies with device.
So please If you give me your email, I'll send the last apk version of spotify compatible with gingerbread to you.

OP I could possibly kiss you all day and it wouldn't be enough. Worked like a charm.
Also the server seemed to be down only in parts around the world. So anyone being unable to connect simply use a VPN. Works perfectly with a VPN.
Though it is currently up again.

Op finally I got it downloaded. Thanks so much but I have a question. Is it possible for me to download for offline for free with this mod?

Absolutely not. I am not "hacking" Spotify and making it Premium-free and that will never be my aim. I am just making it possible to run in tablet mode on smaller tables.
