[APK] Brand new Market client

Not sure if anyone else has seen what the amazing work Android Devs have done on the Market, but it looks stunning. Heres a lonk to their blog w/ screenshots:
http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2010/12/android-market-client-update.html
Anyway, a test apk has been leaked and here it is!
http://www.mediafire.com/?31bn3e258jjpj8d
Just update the apk via Astro, or if that doesnt work, copy to system/app via Root Explorer, reboot, and enjoy!
MAKE SURE TO BACKUP THE OLD APK!

You just need to install it like you would any other app. No need to be rooted either.

I just used apk Installer and it worked fine. Nice update!

The revamped one? They said about 2 weeks till they were fully pushing it out OTA.

I'm not even sure I like this new version... Bits are better. The "wheel" at the top should function as one (spin to change from apps to games for example), and it would do well to be smaller.

It's not all good news though..... Not only are Google bringing in this revised App but they are also changing the returns policy on 'Paid Apps'.
At the moment it is 24hrs but very soon this will automatically change to 15mins..... Yes, FIFTEEN MINUTES!

It is a massive change, and a majority of people dont like it, but I see where theyre coming from. Every app I have refunded have been at max 10 mins. Who needs a day to try an app to see if they like it or not?

I can understand that for many it will not be an issue but for me it does suffer an impact.
A lot of my paid software has to be tested with other Apps and other people.
There is no way I can achieve this within 15 minutes nor would I wish to challenge one of my medical team to stop what he/she is doing just so as I can ensure the new App is tested within the new time lines.
Run of the mill games and non business applications should be fine but larger business orientated applications will I feel suffer.
They may end up having to take other measures to ensure sales targets are met.

I'm not totally convinced of that - most apps are pretty cheap (even the business ones) and I think a business can afford to drop £20 or so on a copy of an app for testing purposes, whereas perhaps a "casual" user might not.
For example, if I'm looking at rolling out Android phones to lots of users, and I want to check out 3rd party exchange integration solutions, it's going to cost me less than £20 to get full copies of both Touchdown and RoadSync.
YMMV of course!
I suspect we'll start seeing more free trial/time limited versions of software popping up.

Dave

They will suffer if they don't introduce what you are saying (which I totally agree upon).
Under this new time limit there's effectively four problems:-
1. Large Content Application Downloads
Apps that have significant amounts of downloadable data i.e. Maps, Game data files etc can depending on your speed take ages to download. As such there is no realistic way you can download all the data and test it within 15mins.
2. Time & Location Apps
Some Apps rely upon a time of day or location (alarm clocks, location based sound profiles etc). 15mins isn't enough time to evaluate these Apps.
3. Utility Apps
Apps such as over-clocking, battery resource monitors, Wi-Fi/Bluetooth location-based togglers etc. How do you manage to test these within 15mins.
4. Buyers Confidence
If you have an entire day to download and try an app, you're less likely to feel rushed to test, or pressured into keeping the app. By offering an entire day to "try-before-you-commit-to-buy" Google and the developer community are conveying a sense of confidence that the apps found in the Android Market are of such high quality that you'll like them -- after all, if you don't like them they'll give you your money back! That's a pretty confident sentiment, and it sets potential buyers at ease.
By rolling that back to just a quarter-hour, Google is essentially reversing that sentiment, making users less likely to make the purchase in the first place. Do the math: 15 minutes is a reduction in time of 98.9583%.
As a short-term measure I would like to see Google change the time-limit to say 2 to 4hrs.
Long term I agree I hope we now get to see more Apps being offered with a trial bases, i.e. you can test an App for seven uses, after this time if you wish to keep and use you pay for it.

1. yup, games with large downloads after installing will be an issue. An hout would be better. 24 hours effectively allowed you to complete a game so that was too much.
2. yeah but they generally have lite versions.
3. agreed.
4. Yeah, but 24 hours was way too much. 15 probably too little (although like GANJDROID I *generally* refund within 5 mins)
15 mins is better than nothing right? If the market started with 15 mins we would be happy. Fact is we were probably a bit spoilt by having a whole day.
On a positive note, I think that google wouldn't have done with without significant pressure, and I'd assume from large game companies. So, we might expect an influx of mega-high quality games as a result, something I'm (just about) willing to give up 23 hours and 45 minutes for!

Has anyone tried to use the search? It doesn't work at all for me. I tried hitting the magnifying glass, and choosing it from the menu. Nothing.

Yeah even the touch button doesn't work. I can't install it (no sideloading with ATT, and I haven't done anything to fix that) So I just copied it in with root explorer.

Works fine after a reboot.

Sonic CD - Xperia Play Optimized

http://phandroid.com/2011/12/14/sonic-cd-speeds-into-the-android-market-now-available-for-download/
According to this you can map the controls to make it work? Anyone try it yet? I think I'm gonna download the game later and give it a shot, my battery is dead right now....

UPDATE:
I bought it, and it shows up in the Game Launcher!
Trying to download the game data now but its locked up, probably because a ton of people are doing the same thing I am doing right now.

Bought it. Never thought 270mb could take so long, but once downloaded, it's one slick game. Play controls work great.

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.sega.soniccd
Only $2 US dollar.

The graphics looks like on the screenshots? They could've updated it like Dizzy which looks amazing.

graphics are pretty nice. I played this game on a gameloft tablet about two months ago and I had commented back then that I might as well be playing Sonic on an emulator. I actually take that back now.

I'm a sucker for all things Sega, so of coursd this will come to me. I like the price too...

Good deal, but it's taking longer to download the 270 MB for this than it did to download the 1.5 GB for FIFA 12! Oh well, they say good things come to those who wait... and wait... and "Download Failed, Retry"... Grrr!!! but OK... and wait... and wait... and... Dang it, another "Download Failed, Retry"... What??? starting over with File 1 of 8??? But I was on File 3!!!... and wait... and wait... and... and... FINALLY !!! YAY !!!!
WOW, it was so worth the wait !!!
After all that, just watch. Tomorrow they will have it for 10 cents!

I can't download the data. Using wifi and 50Mbit broadband. It's been on 2% for like 5 hours
Sent from my R800i using Tapatalk

Last night I had it on 50% of file 1 but it was late and I wanted to play some dungeon hunter so I canceled it figuring I'd do it this morning (and that was after like 10 tries). Before going to bed i set it and it got to 15% and I as like ok this will work. I woke this morning and its STILL at 15%!
Canceled it and tried to restart, now it won't start at all.... FML

I will wait a couple of days. The download is ridiculously slow and plagued with issues.

Yeah I figured maybe try again over the weekend. Releasing it the same time on both iOS and Android Market is great except the servers are probably flooded with everyone and their mother trying to download it.

I managed to download this in about 30 minutes over 3G.

I had no problems downloading, game runs great, and works well with Xperia play controls.

Strange, I tried over 3G also thinking maybe my WiFi was the problem but no luck. I'll have to try again tonight. Data service here at my job is horrendous.

I was thinking that at first, but then you'd have to find a sega cd emulator, the rom file, and configure it. For 2 bucks I'll bypass that, for the flawlessly smooth built for Android experience that this provides. Not to mention the graphics fill the screen without being stretched.

Damn... I just came here to post this.

I'm rooted and still use foxfi.apk 1.91 I haven't updated this and it still works great. I've used root explorer to try to locate the original download the.

Thank you. That was exactly where it was.

Glad you found it.

ok so i see you listed the version number, I'm guessing that means you didn't do the newest update =/ I use my phone as my internet connection and updated foxfi because it gave me an error saying i had to update it to use it.
Now i'm stuck with a 2.51Mb limit before i have to restart foxfi, Any work arounds for this? Im not trying to spend $7 for an app thats been free this long. It strikes me as someone getting greedy, And $7 is pretty steep when i can root the phone and tether for free. Just not trying to root my S3 atm.

Its cool. Lol. I wouldn't update because of the limit and felt the same way about the app being free then 7 bucks.I don't mind supporting the devs for their hard work and have many bought paid apps that I have purchased. But this just didn't seem right. But as of yesterday the old version quit working had a pop-up saying it wasn't supported and wouldn't connect. So I guess it got blocked to force you to buy if you want the program.

darn, im wondering if theres a way around it or another app. Because like you i dont mind supporting dev's and i have also bought many apps, but this isn't right its been free for this long this is someone who is just getting greedy and trying to force people into paying them money. The app had over 1million downloads, If that many people use it and he now forces them to pay 7 thats 7 million dollars. I dont blame him i wouldn't mind having 7 million but still i'm not putting in on him being greedy.

Lol you guys are spoiled. The developer has a right to ask for money for his app... People have been using something he has done on his free time for free for a long time... Who knows what is going on in his life but maybe it's reached a point where the money is needed. For what it offers, it is easily worth 7 dollars one time. The only reason i have not bought it yet is because people are reporting it doesnt work on 4.1 anyway, so we'll see.

Well i'll straight up say i'm far from spoiled, I've spent money on apps that i didn't have to just to support the devs. But when you go from "i'm doing this for the people and its free i just made it to help out" to "i'm charging 7 dollars when i've changed nothing" that just a bit greedy to me, I work hard for my money and i'm not about to just throw it at someone because they got greedy. I've done my homework downloaded a widget called hotspot toggle and i tether threw my phone's built in hotspot for free. Easy to use, turns on faster, and i haven't seen any issues with it yet. So i guess good try to the foxfi guy. Hope you guys find the hotspot toggle widget useful

That will never completely happen. Open source is seen as a security threat to many companies. BB is dieing off and will soon be a software only company. Apple will always have a place due to their security as well as most people prefer something that just works. I cant say I blame them as I have thought about it myself and you would be amazed at how many Android devs use an Iphone as their daily device.

All it takes is taking a look around and realizing that life is passing you by.

File location
I stumbled across this thread during my search, but while I found the answer somewhere else maybe it could help the next lost soul on it's search for revelation:
On Android 7, the accounts.db are now located on
/data/system_de/0/accounts_de.db And
/data/system_ce/0/accounts_ce.db
You'll need to copy both of the files to your new device, it worked for the most accounts. The only account I had to reconfigure was my email exchange

Whatsapp plus temporary ban

Hello, i was previously using galaxy note 5 with android 7 and whatsapp plus was working fine. Now i switched to op 7 pro with android 9 and every time i try to use WA plus, it says that i am temporarily banned for 20-40 mins.
Any workarounds?

What the hell is WhatsApp Plus? There's just WhatsApp that I know of. The thing where you paid a dollar once a year ended like 3 or 4 years ago. Other than that, I have no idea why you would be banned. Maybe just uninstall and just install the normal WhatsApp from the play store

Those WhatsApp Plus apps are malware magnets.

I used one version of that app like 5 years ago. They banned my acc for 10 days
It was FB greed when thy bought the company didn't want 3rd party enhanced apps doing what they couldn't. But to make the story short, it doesn't have anything to do with the phone, may just be you unlucky.
Those who don't know what app is that, well, imagine that google decides to ban all YouTube Vanced users.,?

It was already in the media a couple of times that whatsapp has been banning users with non official app. You got unlucky i guess.
