Are you rooted? If so, you need the build.prop edits. Search the dev section. It's there.

Can you believe... $30!!! I was considering getting a Slingbox when this came out, but that's a bit pricey for an app isn't it?
That's the same price as they charge for other operating systems. I've downloaded it and its fantastic.
That's not really justification, the fact that its what the charge everyone. Surely that just means it's too expensive on ALL platforms?

worth every penny. works brilliantly
buy THIS app first and 30 bucks will seam like a drop in the hat
I have two slingboxes and Slingplayer mobile for WinMo. I'm still willing to pay the $30 for android.
I had my 8525 with slingplayer for years, it has served me well and more than justifies the cost. If it works at least as well as WinMo's, it's money well spent.
Of course, if I can transfer the old version, all the better.
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"?
bump 10chars
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

Seriously your asking for something and you dont even know what it's for?
crazy but ok ill indulge, it's for phones that use beta software some developers restrict their programs so that beta software IE the android OS itself in beta form cannot see the app.
Market enabler fools the market place into thinking it's a legit none beta so you can purchase all the aps from the market place...

I saw somebody mention that Zinio is included in the 3.1 update. Is this correct?
I had previously installed it with directions here, but it's a little funky. First, it gave me about eleven sample magazine issues. The size of the magazines on the library screen seems to be a little off and the app is otherwise quirky.
Everyone experiencing this, or was it because I had the other version installed? Any way to fix this?
Thanks!
As of today, Zinio is up on the market. Should be able to grab it on 3.0.
Yes, Zinio was part of the 3.1 update.

Cool, I'll just remove it and reinstall just to make sure everything is okay.
It keeps freezing on me when I try to open a Magazine for more info. Cant delete it as well since it came with 3.1. Going to try to install it from the app store as it keeps telling me to update it.
I kind of wish all of these free applications weren't pushed out to us. Especially since you can find most of these apps on the Market if you want them anyway. I have no use for Zinio and don't feel like rooting just to remove it. Though, compared to my DX, I definitely can't complain about bloatware. And, to be honest, most of the "bloat" added by ASUS has proved to be quite useful
Updated the version from market and it's works!
Free magazines.............hmmm....not bad!
Keep it up Asus...I love your bloat wares
First....free newspapers and now free magazines....hahaha....iPad 2 Killer!
Can anybody confirm that the preinstalled version includes the free magazine subscription offer detailed in Zinio's press release?
http://www.prnewswire.com/news-rele...roid-market-for-tablet-devices-122859609.html
If not, might be worth trying to install the app first, then let it upgrade when Asus' update hits for the US market...
The free newspapers thing is a total waste of time for me -- seven free issues is next to nothing. A free two year subscription to one of 25 magazine (or is it all 25? The press release isn't clear) seems quite worthwhile though.

I installed the application from the market, and I have 23 magazines in my collection, apparently. I don't thinks it's a year subscription, but just the most recent edition of each magazine.

I installed from the Market, much better. The 3.1 update must not have liked me already having it installed.
HOWEVER, it will let me uninstall the new one (the good version) but not the old version.
Any way to remove this without flashing my device? It's not a big deal, just an icon under apps but I'd like to get rid of it.

And suddenly the lightbulb came on. Of course you're right, the way it was phrased just threw me off. It's one issue of each magazine listed. (Well, they've actually listed 25 magazines as included, and per your own experience there are only 23 available, but near enough the same thing.)
...which to me is a complete waste of time, and makes me again wish Asus would stop jamming this bloat down our throats. Like the newspapers, it is one more thing I'll never use, and one more icon obscuring the apps I actually do want to use. (Not to mention wasting space and resources on my tablet.)
Thus far the only thing I've found worthwhile among Asus' preinstalled apps is Splashtop Remote Desktop, and that can currently be bought standalone for just 99 cents.
I really wish Asus would give us a version without all the bloatware installed, and just let us buy our own apps. Saving a few cents on the one app I do use isn't worth it to me to have all the other junk I'll never touch on there too...
Probably because Zinio pays them per install or account created from one of their devices...
(I'm guessing.)

Yup, that's usually the case with this kind of bloat -- the manufacturer gets paid to put it all on there, in the hopes that it'll lead to you paying the software company to use the product that's stuck on your machine.
I doubt they're getting paid much to stick all the junk on, though, and I'd happily pay $10-15 to have it all taken back off.

Actually had Zinio on my iPad and enjoyed it. Wife had cheap o magazine and I had car and driver magazine quite cheap.
As for splashtop our version can be set to the ASIs resolution of 1280x800 whereas the market version only goes to 1024x768. So I don't consider any of it bloatware but rather good apps I would have purchased anyway.

Well, that kind of sucks. I don`t want to root just for that.
Keep getting error with preinstalled bloatware "zinio reader". I went to the market and DLd "zinio" which seems to be the same exact thing as zinio reader except a much larger app. The mags are free which is pretty cool but once they aren't free I'll be deleting that ish' stop the bloatware!!!

It's already rooted for you.
It just went on sale today so it's a bit early for custom ROMs to show up, but I'm sure they will.

Seeing as how I manage the Airpad program at X10 I'm hardly impartial. Hopefully someone else can reply too. But about the stock -- We have 3 shipments arriving this week and next week.
Its a shame i don't see anyone trying to port CM7 to this.
I would buy it for sure then

I have to ask why. You haven't even used it, how do you know that the stock firmware isn't great to begin with?
I assume he just really loves CM7
Airpad questions
Does anyne know if the mini-usb is really an On The
Go compatible port, meaning it can act as either client
or host usb port? I have an OTG mini m to a f adapter.
Does it auto recognize it or does it need an app like
the NOOK color?
How does it handle USB host port (a f) flash drive
mount / dismount? Is there built in support or do
you need to issue the commands from an ADB shell
or a terminal shell?
I'm interested in being able to backup all the
partitions (regions), would I just do DD's for each
/dev or is there a tool / app to do that? Something
like clockworkmod recovery's nAndroid backup
/ restore functionality?
Does it boot from the microSDHC like the NOOK
color?
thanks
Kev.. I have a very important customer who fell in love with the Airpad 7 and wanted all his field inspectors to have one. He also ask me to custom develop an app he needs in the field. ALthough I have been a software developer for over 30 years, I have never develop for a device like Airpad. Is there a resource you can point me to for developers? TIA..

If it's already rooted, why doesn't Titanium Backup work? It displays a message that it could not acquire root privileges.
Attempts to use su from a terminal screen yields a message that says that UID 10067 not allowed to su.
So, is it rooted or not?

NO ANDROID MARKET but not horrible
Overall the tablet is pretty good for the price. Just picked one up and am posting from it now. I am VERY disappointed in the lack of the android market and i hate the amazon app store. Limited selection and emails me for every free download because it is a "purchase"(lame).
Good little ereader and web browser. Much more useful with the apps i copied from my other android devices using root explorer. Battery life could be better but as an appliance around the house, we are always close to an outlet so it isnt a concern for how we are using it.
The gTablet with CM7 is still my primary tablet for on the go. It is heavier and more cumbersome than the airpad but having my google services is more important on the go.
I will primarily be using this tablet for my home automation controller, at least until cm# is ported or they give me android market access
Hi Kevin. Quick question on airpad. I'm in BC Canada and can't get amazon.com on this device and I also can't get access to the android market. All I want is access to a netflix app for streaming to my TV. I managed to download the slideme app store but they don't carry netflix. Any ideas? Thanks rgk123
