[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

[Q] Market Update?

Anyone get the new Market yet? I was able to download Maps 5.0 Beta with the cool vector maps and 3D buildings, but I'm still only at the old Market. Anyone got new market?

just go market and update your maps to the latest ver 5.0

Google JUST released it a few minutes ago, it's in the market now, update your Maps.
To go 3D mode, use two fingers and swipe down. It'll "tilt" the map. If you're in an area that has the 3D vector maps, you'll see it (try San Francisco).
You can also then use two fingers and rotate the map.

Old Market
Shouldn't the Nexus S use the new market? Mine displays the old market...

Agreed. 2.3 shoulda come with the new market. I tried to install the .apk but I can't for some reason as I don't have the option. I also noticed that in 2.3 with the old market, Downloads (third tab) has been replaced with T-Mobile's picks. Yuck.

They should've put the new market... I dislike the new t-mobile tab in the market.

The third tab is Downloads for me, not T-Mobile.

Yeah, seeing the T-Mobile tab makes the phone feel gimped. How can I install the newer .apk I have or can't I? (locked to 2.2 only?)

It will change, if you're on T-Mobile or if you use them as a payment option

Then it must be a uniform standard, maybe for Sprint users it'll change to Sprint & for AT&T users it'll change to AT&T..
Luckily for me I've been using the phone since morning and it's on downloads only.

New market just updated on my Epic, should be to you guys in no time

Mine says t-mobile as well.

I had AT&T SIM in when I got my phone, and it said Downloads and had WIFI Tether (root app) available for download.
After I signed up for T-Mobile and used that SIM, the tab turned into T-Mobile, and no WIFI Tether in the market (there's another thread listing some apps missing from T-Mobile market)

It's all very odd. Ever since I had my N1, the third tab was ALWAYS Downloads. Then, I manually upgraded to the new Market. (2.2.6) When going to Market on the Nexus S, the third tab is T-Mobile. I really hope when switching to the newer Market that it goes away.

Yeah, I noticed that there were some apps missing from the Market as well, but this may be because of the transition from 2.2 to 2.3. Back in the day when we were moving from 2.1 to 2.2 there was a whole to-do about some apps not showing in the market and it had to do with developers not checking some options/settings to do with security or something in their app(s).
I suppose it's the price we pay for being on the bleeding edge. I did notice that apps that were sitting on my SD card on my Nexus One were not transferred over and I'll need to redownload them.
OT: How would I got about transferring settings, save games, etc. onto my Nexus S? This is the one thing that irks me about resetting a phone/moving to a new phone. Apps are transferred but settings/saves are not.

Gotta root the phone and use Titanium Backup to backup the actual app/game data

That's lame. I hope Google continues to make phones with a fixed amount of storage so that they can backup everything to the cloud. Due to them knowing what's on the phone, they can then restore the apps and saves for us.

i tried installing the new market apk that i used for my n1. it installed, but some of the text was cut off and kept forceclosing. im also not liking the tmobile branded market.

[Q] Samsung Media Hub

does anyone have the stock Samsung Media hub apk for the infuse. I am running refuse and he chose to take it off. i still have my 25 credit and saw a couple movies on there i wanted.

Sorry for the double post

Here is the apk, pulled from the infuse. There is also a mediahub folder in /data/data. But I can't figure out how to upload a folder, but if you need it then I can put it up somewhere else and link you to it.

ok so i installed this media hub but when i run it i asks me to update and by clicking yes it takes me to market but it cant find media hub on market. So i ran it again and upon cancelling the app will shutdown. I have 25 credits still, whiich i wanna use but im using refuse so I cant, any help please.

I have exact same problem. I hope somebody has a solution.

Here is my already updated version i hope it helps link removed

Sorry that was the stock one this is the updated version

if none of these work simply go wipe and load infuse or stock, use titanium and backup the mediahub app. Install refuse and restore the app. That's all I have been doing. Hope this helps

That works! Thanks a lot!

That sucks, and to me that doesn't make much sence. Id call either you carrier or samsung themself. I've had to contact samsung for an annyoing wifi issue, they told me they weren't aware of any issues, but the next day bam, I had an update pushed to my phone and I haven't had an issue since.

I'm in Canada and I used the credit ($25) but when I hit download button weather it's rent or own, it shows a little flash window says "it's not permitted outside US. CA" and when I went to the States it started downloading about 100MB of 1.5GB and I came back to Canada the same day, it allowed me to resume and complete the download. Now when I purchase while in Canada, it won't allow me. Is there any fix for this?

[Q] Carrier Billing?

Hello
When I was stock, I had the option to use carrier billing as a method of payment in the play store. Now that I've unrooted my device and began flashing ROMs, I notice that none of the ROMs are able to use carrier billing.. is there a way to get this back?
Thanks
Zealex

I am on a Verizon GS3 as well and have flashed many roms so far and always had Carrier billing as an option in the Google Play store. Have you checked to see if you are running the latest version of the play store? Maybe Google "most recent Google play store apk", make sure your phone allows downloads from unknown sources, download and see if that helps.

Hmm that's odd. I wasn't sure if I was the only one, and there wasn't much information about it but it seems that maybe it isn't a rom issue huh.
What ROM are you currently on btw?
I'll try that, I'm flashing a new ROM right now though =P
thanks for the reply.

I could be wrong but if im not mistaken verizon had that featured pulled... initially they opted into a carrier billing, and then they decided to opt out. Unless you have the playstore version that included carrier billing you wont have that feature anymore. If you find it doesnt work i can backup and post the version of playstore i have.......which does included carrier billing.

Why the heck would they remove that? Well it's Verizon >_<..
I wish I would of thought to have packed up the original play store app before I flashed from rooted stock, oh well. I would really appreciate if you could that though, it would be a great help !

Hi, if you still have that version of the Google Play that allows for carrier billing, or know of the version that works with it, could you please uppload it somewhere for me? It would be greatly appreciated.

I had similar issues. Verizon still offers the service, what i did to fix the issue was run Market Enabler and "fake" the US Verizon version of the market. After this I went into the market and the option was available again.

Carrier billing still there for me I'm on clean Rom 5.0 with the inverted market.
stripped down rebuild with clean Rom/Gunther/camblued modds!!!

[Q] My3 UK app not available in UK?

Hello everyone
I have a nexus 5 with the latest android stock version.
I would really like to download the 2.3.5 my3 uk app, but my phone says it is not available in my country.
The point is that I'm in UK wih a 4G 3 UK connection... Even with UK VPN it doesn't allow me to download the app.
What should I do? Can someone put the apk here? I tried to download it via Aptoide, but it just the 2.3.1 and there are functions missing.
Thank you.
Davide

Have you tried installing it directly from the web play store?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hutchison3g.planet3

I just tried it and it keeps saying the app is not available in my country.
Perhaps because I am italian? But I am using a uk phone operator :/

It's really not that useful. Just lots of links to their website. Maybe you'll have to reset your phone to UK settings if you really want to install it

I think its Google account based rather than operator based
...and yeah its not very useful.

The latest version at Play store sucks even more. I am sick of having to log in from the browsers every time as the App does not work at all on my PAYG Desire HD and Galaxy Ace.
I have had a big argument with Three support as they refuse to provide a download link for the old version.
I got it from my old tablet which lucky enough had not been turned on for a long time and had not updated to the latest version. So as from today my two old phones are back to My3 2.3.5 and sign in automatically on data at least.
I am new to XDA and will take me some time to work out how to get the app on here, but if you are still interested please let me know and I will give it a try.
