Market place is up and running
There's only 17 applications in the German Marketplace. That's a bit disappointing, considering they have been advertising their Marketplace among developers for half a year now.
I hope that it gets better soon.
How many are there in other countries?
There appears to be a good few apps on there - more than 17 as I look at it - maybe over 50 (im in the UK).
very few free apps - maybe 3?
I think I will wait until im sure what the situation will be with apps purchased and lost due to ROM flashing. Do you get to download again for free?
In the Netherlands only 4 apps, Microsoft Tag, My Phone, Facebook and 'De Telegraaf' (a Dutch newspaper). A bit disapointing...
Guys,
How do you get the application for it? I'm still using the stock ROM that came with my HD.
Cheers.
Well it not live until tomorrow so any apps are a bonus till then.
Yes, even 50 apps is disappointing. There's some 20-30000 apps for Windows Mobile out there and they could only get 50 of them into their Marketplace within 7 months?
Well... it's not even official yet, so let's wait a bit and see what happens.
Not working for me. The cab downloaded and installed but when trying to launch it searches for an update and informs me:
"We encountered an error while trying to reach the Windows Marketplace server. Would you like to try again?"
Have they switched it off again?
Mine installs but then it cant connect because it says the servers are unavailable. hmmmmm
It's still working here.
Could all of you please tell us what country you are in? That would help a lot.

But I don't think that suddenly tomorrow the Marketplace is full of apps. But lets wait and see!

My crystalball says otherwise .
The market place is still working for me (UK)
The imortant thing is quality not quantity. Obviously it's only just launching and WM isn't as sexy as it used to be, so it was always going to be a quieter launch than we'd hope for. However, I'd rather see an app store with 5,000 quality apps instead of one with 200,000 where there's 542 different "oh look an animated glass of beer" apps, a quarter of the apps are to cover the same OS deficiencies, with ultimately the same core 5,000 quality apps that are now so much harder to find.
That said, WM desperately needs both quality and quantity of games if it and the app store are going to make any real return to consumer level awareness. At least due to the OS's heritage we have an incredibly strong portfolio of productivity apps.
I had that same initial response but it worked when I tried second time around. Hopefully they are trying to load as many apps as possible.
Might be smart to submit an app.

As per my post header, I'm in the UK on Vodafone.
Not working
UK O2
Touch Pro
Working in Norway
But only 2 apps. Facebook and Microsoft tag reader
Still working in the UK on T-Mobile.
Just installed MS Tag and the install process is pretty slick and pain free and unobtrusive - thought it was going to launch the usual cab installation interface.
One thing though is that it didn't ask where I would like to install to, Memory or SD Card, hmmm.....
EDIT: Tag reader installed to memory - hope this isn't the case for all apps - there should be an option to set install location.
Pardon my ignorance, but how do you install Marketplace on the HD? I am on T-Mobile UK.
Thanks,
Petrov.
FYI anyone that is running the stock UI on there G tablet viewsonic just dropped there new UI
Just got the notification that the update is available, and am downloading it! Yeah! Excited as all get out over this! Anything would be better than the previous version. Christmas came early.
Post some pics or videos..
Got it. Installed it. Works
Biggest noticeable change is of course that you can switch to a more stock looking UI by pressing 'Classic Home' in the Tn'T App Drawer and from then on it will stay there unless you go back to the layered one.
It's the 5 screens by default and I've found no way to add any to that. The options/settings haven't seemed to change any.
Second big change is that you can use Live Wallpapers now (yay!). I haven't noticed an obvious speed boost in the Tn'T UI we're used to - but the Android-like UI is on par with Launcher Pro. Suffice it to say, Fast/Quick and very responsive. I MAY remove Launcher Pro now since this is doing what I want it to do so far - though the customizable launch buttons are preferable.
These are just the obvious differences. I'm sure there's more going on under the hood that the devs will pick up on quickly.
This is def. now usable out of the box - as long as the customer knows that can switch to the Android-like UI by hitting Classic Home.
got it and...
I got the update. Took two tries to install. On reboot it asked if I wanted launcherpro or thrtzpntap as home. Added background image. The releasenote said it included angrybirds but I had that installed. Didn't change the calibration fix that I applied so still responsive. Market is gone so I need to reinstall. Settings still doesn't give access to all of the settings you get on android. Haven't checked if you can move apps to SD.
They did qsome stuff but not enough if you want android.
I entered this from the tzblet
I loaded the 3389 that came out today (12/23) and gave it a test drive around the block. I like the "classic" launcher. I got a FC on the weather app even though I wiped cache and user data prior to loading the update. It does replace recovery, so if you have Clockworkmod, be aware it unloads that. Unlike 3316, this version does not install angrybirds. The main concerns I would have if I were stuck using this would be the inability for the calendar to sync with my Google calendar. I am headed back to TNT Lite now.

the stock calendar program does sync with google calendar...
the stock contacts program does not sync with google contacts (import only)...
if someone could pop a little screenshot on here, it'd be awesome. i'm on VEGAn beta4 and i'm not exactly in the mood to have to reinstall all of my stuff unless it's truly worth it. They need to fix the weather app so it can go outside the US though.... Canadian user here, and i can't even get Montreal, where a location based software such as that one should be fairly easy to set-up as universal, i'd think...

I would say stay with that unless you're having issues. This update makes it usable but I wouldn't say it necessarily improves the speed over what I've seen from VegaN and TnT Lite etc. It just makes it so people won't HAVE to root, put a new ROM etc.
I'm noticing a definite slow down after time, which did not happen with the older 3053 so I'm not sure what's up. It's not a terrible slowdown, but when you initially start or for example, use Launcher Pro - and head into the App Drawer, scrolling is seamless and instant, and with this new ROM after some time of the device being idle, slight lag seems to be introduced. Now, as I mention it's not world ending, but it never happened before soooo I may be heading to TnT lite myself. In the end, is it enough to move from a fast, working ROM? I don't think so. But it at least makes the device worthwhile right out of the box.
BTW to someone who said it does NOT come with Angry birds - that's not exactly correct. I did not have Angry birds installed. I went from 3053 to the one released this evening and I have Angry Birds on there now.
UPDATE: No longer experiencing the slowdown. The only thing I've done differently is 1. charge it up - it was at roughly 20% or so when I noticed the lag (in reality that was probably around 5-10% battery charge left)...and 2. I installed the Google Apps and Market.
Downloading the new update now (2am Christmas Eve) I can't wait to see how this new update helps my tablet!
I"m so glad to hear all these good things about the new update, I really! cant wait to get my very own to test out every thing... as soon as anyone has time please do a update review on the tablet with the new update..

You mentioned:
"the stock calendar program does sync with google calendar..."
I can't seem to make it sync... the calendar program asks for a url to an .ics file... Am I in the wrong place?
Thanks!

Hello, I am a fairly new g-tablet user. I received one for Christmas and updated it on Dec 25th. I am still experiencing some issues such as if the battery dies then the date/time resets to Dec 2008. I mainly use it for e-reading using the Amazon Kindle app. But would very much like to use for more than that since that would make it a very expensive e-reader!
I came across this forum today when over my business education listserve (I teach computer applications) several ideas were given on how to use an ipad in the classroom. One feature was that you could download an app that would allow you to connect to your laptop/desktop and operate it using the ipad. (So you could walk around the classroom while you taught) So I performed a search to see if the g-tablet had a similar functionality (which I have not found yet).
Then I see all of these different ROMs and updates, etc. that can be used to make the g-tablet more user-friendly. I have a Motorola Droid phone and am familiar with the android market, etc.
What I need to know is what would be recommended steps to get my g-tablet up and running more effectively? Most of the posts that talk about the new ROMs started before the Dec 24th update, so I am not sure what the next step(s) would be.
I appreciate your help.
Kim
Probably the 1st thing I'd suggest is to get Google Market (aka "market") onto your Gtab and do at least the main "market fix". That would get you access to a ton of applications.
Once you do that, you can download pocketcloud from the market. That'll allow you to access your PC from the Gtab.
There's also office style suites in the market, such as documents to go, that allow you to view and/or edit MS Word docs, etc. That'd probably be useful.
The "gMarket" that comes with the Gtab takes you to the Handango website. That's NOT the Google market.
Jim
Thank you Jim. I found the guide to install a different ROM and followed the directions to use Vegan 5.1. I now have access to the Market and the PocketCloud app you suggested works great!
Thanks so much!
have you tried getting on the IRC channel irc.freenode.net #tegratab live discussion and many of the nicks you see here can be found there as well.
I'm sure you already know this, but the sort of app you are looking for is a VNC viewer. I haven't compared the available android vnc apps yet, but a quick search should turn up serveral options quickly.
Here's something a quick google search turned up:
code.google.com/p/android-vnc-viewer/

That would've worked for the OP if he had VNC server running. Fyi, one of the nice things about pocketcloud is that it does both Vnc and RDP.
Not pushing pocketcloud... Just an Fyi.

I am new to windows phone 7 and have sent last 2 days configuring and installing apps. I have seen some weird behavior and wanted to confirm is it is just for me or everyone
1) In the Zune purchase history, each app is showing 4 times.
2) Once you buy an app in market place and visit the app page in zune, it still shows buy button. I mean the app home page does not tell you if you have already purchased or installed the app.
3) if this behavior is not normal, what support do you call? is there microsoft call center for windows phone/ zune?
I just looked and I'm seeing the same thing. Probably just some temporary issue on the back end, I don't remember it being it like that previously.
same thing with mine.
Found the Microsoft Support Number
1-877-438-9863
I have told the about the issue and they are investigating it. They did check that the paid apps are not being charged 4 times. So, I guess it is not really a big issue but I will update the thread if i hear anything back from MS.
Anyway, the MS support center is very helpful. It is nice to see MS work really hard on this OS.
I had that same problem but its been fixed now
can anyone confirm this?

Yes I can, that is how I reported my experience on the Motorway forum, now running UK 3g 3.1.
Me Too...
Two updates rolled out today. The first was a simple update (maybe required update to get the full one to work but it was marked optional) followed by the 3.1 update (which was marked as important)
Update Details:
XOOM: MZ601 (3G)
Android version: 3.1
Firmware version: GAS_EMEA_UCAEVRSTURTCOREE_P045
Baseband version: N_01.83.35P
Baseband configuration version: UCAEVEUB1B88EU03C.0R
Kernel version: 2.6.36.3-00010-g3139c20 / [email protected] #1
Build number: H.6.3-25-5
No Google Books included (you can download the apk elsewhere on this forum), but Movie Studio is there.
Hi all,
Mine arrived today for my UK Xoom MZ601 with exactly the same details as the above poster will report back later how its all working.

Got my update. On the 10th August.
Loaded in about 5 minutes and kept all my programme's and settings.
Free bluetooth mouse now works.
Hdmi out to large screen TV is brilliant.
Usb is still not fully functional ie. will not work with flash drives or hard disks but ok with thing like usb mouse and cameras.
Can't say I've noticed much different in speed, its a little better.
Browser use to crash all the time on 3.01, its much more stable now.
Micro SD is now working and can transfer files from internal sd to external sd but not from PC to external sd via usb cable.
Music player will still not fetch art work from the internet without external programme. ( yes to those in the USA, that's how we spell it)
Google maps has a problem with sometimes not zooming in closer than 1000ft unless I change from terrain view to satellite view (or the reverse).
Camera setting do not reverse if the tablet is turned 180° but the last taken picture does.
Still no software volume slider. (Not a problem but would be nice).
When using standard browser on the xda-developers website cannot use the normal search facility have to use advanced search. ( don't know if that's xda's web problem or the browser.
And last but not least, there is a big typing delay when using the browser (as reported by others)
That's all I can think of at the moment endless YOU can think of anything.
Since updating, mine seems to eat through the battery quicker! Anyone else getting that?
marketplace seems almost empty
Got my 3.1 update yesterday but when you go into the marketplace, categories and say business, all I can see is 8 top paid apps and 8 top free and no way to see all the other apps in this category! Am I missing something?
Any suggestions appreciated.
Will keep an eye on my battery levels over the next few days and see what happens.
As to the market, there are categorys on the right hand side or you can search for programmes at the top

thanks for the suggestion but my problem is when I enter a category, say business, all I see are 8 paid apps and 8 free apps and as we both know there are much more than that but that's all I can see with no way of browsing to all the other apps in that category.
hi jscsltd
As stated in my previous mail at the top next to the picture of the magnifying glass, type in what type of programme you are looking for ie. networking.
By the way I am only a junior member.
Have now revised my opinion of the browser, it still keeps crashing to much.
Thanks again for yor help but my problem is in just browsing the apps in a category and only seeing the 8 top free business apps with no way of browsing any more as you can on a phone.
Browser seems much more stable and faster with no crashes yet.
Ok I understand now each category should show all programmers under that category not just the top paid and the top free ones.
Maybe its like that because like an iceberg there's far more underneath than one can handle.

He he, you could be right.
So its not just me with the problem.
My work around is to browse using the appbrain app.
Re battery problem
Can't say I have noticed any difference in battery use, seems to be lasting a long as it was before the update. Having said that I have not actually timed it its just a guess over the last six days of use.
@jscsltd
That is the new layout for the market next to where it says free or paid apps there is an arrow click on it and you will see all the apps by just scrolling down. Hope that resolves your issue as at least that is how it works on my Xoom 3.1.
Marc
Yes Dogmann I've seen that as well, seams it has only been enabled recently, but on mine not all sections have arrows next to them. Maybe its an ongoing project that's not yet finished.
