[REQUEST] Where.apk

Does anyone have the apk for the app called Where? It comes on the backflip and is available on the droid but I cant seem to find it in the market with my ATT N1 due to some kind of firmware issue. Any help is appreciated.

Hmm, weird. I can download it off the market on my N1 just fine.
Lemme know if that link the other gentleman provided doesn't work, ill try to up it to my DropBox.

google is aware of the problem. its only the att versions that are having issues seeing all of the apps in the market

Isn't ATT 'controlling' certain things about the market? Maybe that's why it's not showing on your ATT N1?

i think they may be because i read somewhere that if i put a t mobile sim in the phone i wouldnt have a problem. hell i dunno.

I don't have these issues with my N1 on ATT. *shrug*

having the same problem with ATT N1 missing Market apps. Attached is a newer version of Where app, 1.88, i think. 1.90 is newest, but can't grab. would appreciate if someone could UL the latest.

I emailed with Tech Support at Where. They said there was a contract issue with AT&T. Appears that if you want where, you have to pay AT&T each month and have one of the approved where handsets.

Could someone that has access to a newer version of Where 1.9 post either a download link or attach the file here in the forum.
We ATT folks would much appreciate it.
Thank you

Where 1.9.1

Thanks a bunch!!
Do you have a specfic source since I see you are on ATT as well?

Well, screw ATT. I was looking for an app like this just yesterday and nothing looked good so I decided to stick to google maps. Are there any other known apps that ATT is screwing us on?

Thank You Very Much! For Some Reason My Boost Mobile Motorola i1 can't access some of these apps on the Market. My assumptions it's because it runing on Android 1.5. Hopefully they will release an update soon considering 3.0 is rumored to be released soon.

Thanks. There is a new version out. Can you please share it too?

You guys really find the app that useful?
The only useful stuff I found it did, Google local search already does.
Any who, here is Where 1.9.6

Where is the only app I've seen that gives a decent listing of gas prices nearby, anyone have any better suggestions?
I'd be happy to take back the 5-6M of storage it takes up..... Yikes.

Zipcar
It is also the only zipcar app for android.

If you use AppBrain and the new fast web install they have, you can install it from the AppBrain website. It still won't show up in the market for updates, but you can probably get it updated the same way.

[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"?

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

Samsung apps

So, when i open samsung apps (the app) on my italian tab, i only see three applications.
Ive read somewhere that sammy has hundreds of apps for android... so where do i get them?

I only get the remote control app.
and on my phone I get 13 apps :-(

As far as I know those things are being loaded by local operator by using custom CSC file. They are not really worldwide applications. But it would be a good idea to create a thread where we comment all the market programs that run nicely on full screen.

Is there away to get more of samsung's apps, or should I treat the thing as bloatware and remove it?
Can it be removed safely?

It looks useless to me. Samsung apps is their equivalent to market or appstore for Bada.
I don't think there going to be published something for TAB.

I've a question for you: Have you checked again lately?
I've rooted my tab and I've tried several firmwares and I always got 2 apps in the store.I've tried also 3 sim cards TIM(Italian) Wind(Italian) and FIDO(Canadian) and always 2 apps.A friend has a 'untouched" with a TIM sim card in, and after he did a factory reset he had a bunch of apps in the Samsung Apps (Corriere, Gameloft HD,Milano finanza etc)
I'm not able to understan why....any idea?

Its based on location, which is why it needs a sim.

Do you still have the original JID? Have you tried to install Market enabler and fake TIM provider? (it should works also with samsung apps because when I tried changing the provider the Sam apps asked me again to accept terms and conditions..)

Yep, and because of the lack of apks ill have to flash it again to get the sammy store back!
What are you on? I might give it a shot, but i see no other reason to flash yet - from what i hear theres no improvements in any of the newer firmwares...
edit: also, why would TIM have more samsungs apps do you think? are they an official partner or something?

I'm back on JID now I've tried JI6 and JJ4, but all the same, just 2 apps....About TIM I just said because is the provider my friend has..but he started to have all the apps after a factory reset which its also strange...and they are no partner because all the italian provider are selling the Tab.
I'd like to know if someone from italy with a brand new tab (no root or different firmware) with an Italian Sim card in, can see the apps or not...

dude... i realise just how stupid i have been!!!
start kies and click on the samsung apps widget
its a marketplace! zomg

I tried to write to Samsung, I can't wait for an answer...sure will not fix anything though

I am in the US. My tab was shipped from Italy with only two apps showing in the Samsung apps store.
It shipped with XXJI5.
Later I flashed to JID and more apps showed.
I then reverted back to JI5 and only two apps are showing.
I think it is relates to JID.

preinstalled apps

Anyone have a zip of the preinstalled apps from their Tabs.
By Carrier would be great (Im looking for Sprint's)
I went a little crazy when I rooted and wacked a few apps (I did save them but formatted the card without thinking) Factory restore doesn't get um back.

Hmm nobody has the apps at all?

What you're asking for is a fair bit of work. You may need to wait for more than about 5 hours.

you can do it yourself.
download a firmware (e.g. the one you use), extract the factoryfs.rfs and open it with MagicISO (simply go to file, open, select the factoryfs.rfs file and hit open), there you can select the apps from system/app

I have a UK tab which came pre-installed with NOVA HD. Since changing the firmware/updating the tab (following a few of the threads on here) I lost a few of the pre-installed apps. I got most of everything back worth anything (and a lot of the Samsung apps were just links to various websites) but I lost NOVA HD. I'm loathe to pay for it and wanted to know if there is any way to get it back? Was tempted to bluetooth the APK from a demo machine. Any suggestions or is it gonna cost me £3?
Thanks
Gareth

Or you could just try being more patient and/or backup things beforehand as every set of instructions relating to flashing specify. I know perfectly well what I'm talking about, but I do my own research beforehand rather than relying on others to do it for me.

Again Value = ZERO, I have patients but Im not up on the Tab game so I asked a quick question. Got a great direct response, solved the problem and learned about the limits of the Sprint Tab as far a flashing Custom ROMS..your help none, do your posting patrol someplace else

Great response, ill be doing this as soon as i get home any clue as to whether or not swype is recoverable this way? I deleted in a rush to try the beta my evo uses. I of course have no swype

Not 100% sure.
You will need swype.apk from system/app and libswype.so from system/lib
Try it

Thanks again, didn't need lib but I'm guessing that is because I didn't delete it before. I did have issues installing live wall papers though, I ann going to get the lib files and try again.

Froyo 2.2 released by AT&T finally?

Saw this on engadget but the link goes nowhere. Anybody confirm?
http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/16/samsung-captivate-on-atandt-gets-android-2-2-all-that-froyo-hasn/

Moved to general as not android development

that page has been there for some time, it is now gone

I couldn't find any other info on it - But being that the post was just made this morning, I'm still excited...

saw this too, but the page it linked to (which is pulled now btw) was actually a direct copy/paste of the 2.2 update for the Vibrant when I saw it last night. The cached version here still has all the tmobile references.

Maybe try to go back to stock and give kies a try.

I have to put it in debugging mode to get Kies Mini to see it. I have no idea what impact that may have on actually upgrading though. I'm stock Eclair BTW.

Maybe they realized the error and pulled it.

LOL. Samsung's/AT&T's never ending ineptitude provides quite a bit of comic relief. I mean...really, how hard is it to push an update? I remember getting OTA updates on my G1 without issue. Has nothing been learned since then?

I don't know how I missed that? Thanks though.

It had this sentence at the bottom too:
* What are risks for performing the upgrade?
o This upgrade has been thoroughly tested by Samsung and AT&T to be compatible with Captivate devices running previous versions of the released software. Customers who are running unsupported operating systems (e.g. those that are rooted or have not been received from T-Mobile and Samsung) should move forward at their own risk.

LOL, FIND ALL "T-Mobile" REPLACE WITH "AT&T" it's that easy.... or one would think....

I checked Kies Mini and nothing. Blah!

Ehh ...
The probability of Samsung/AT&T releasing something better than what you can find here at XDA is extremely low. The devs here at XDA are probably more familiar with the phone than Samsung or AT&T anyway, as they have actually been working with it these past few months.
I'm actually a bit surprised that there isn't an XDA branded phone by now.
