[Q] Chrome to Phone/Street View Issues? - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Both can't be found and installed from the Market.
And I don't know if it's just me or for everyone else?
My 2.3.2 NS should be compatible right? Because:
Chrome to Phone requires 2.2 or up.
Street View requires 1.6 or up.
I live in the Philippines and Market payments isn't available here. (I don't see the connection if this is the problem.)

Had those apps for a long time. No problems, try a market fix or using 2.3.1 fingerprints.

You have to edit your build.prop
They should be available in the market if you are on a stock ROM. Who's your carrier?

My carrier is Globe Telecom. Globe doesn't restrict anything on the phone unlike the carriers in the US of A.
Anyways, where can I find build.prop and what's the reason why I can't install the apps?

You need to root your phone and then install Market Enabler. Use it to fake your carrier as tmobile/Verizon US.

But as far as I know, my carrier doesn't restrict anything. And the two applications aren't carrier-tied apps right?

Possibly because the market restricts u based on your country. The fix is to root and get market fix

That might be the case.. Well if it is, too bad for me then.
Why would Google even restrict the usage of both apps by country? :[

I'm just speculating. But you can root and make your phone appear as if its on t mobile and it'll be back to normal.

I'm not from the US, and my carrier doesn't restrict anything too but certain apps like GMail don't appear in the market if I don't use Market Enabler.

LogMeIn

Has anyone noticed that the stock G2x comes with some LogMeIn packages(com.logmein.rescue and com.logmein.rescuesecurity) already installed? Anyone know what they are there for? I've yet to see anywhere that I could make use of them, which makes me wonder if they're there for LG or other companies to gain access for whatever reason.

Okay, so T-Mobile is including Logmein Rescue so they can access your machine for support. Personally, I backed it up and deleted it with Titanium Backup. No need for that crap. Everything is working fine.
The two apps are:
com.logmein.rescue 6.3.246
com.logmein.rescuesecurity 6.3.246
Thanks, I just froze them using titanium backup.

I removed them the first day I got the phone. Just use Root Explorer to delete them. I didn't like the sound of it either.
There is a thread about which apps you can delete, like the Tmobile crap, EA Store, games, etc. I posted what the app name was compared to the store and what I deleted without any recourse.
I removed a dozen probably.

T-mobile HTC One S 'Where's Tune-In Radio???'

Like the title says: I have a T-mobile HTC One S and Tune-In Radio came installed on the device, but it's nowhere to be found. It's not in the app draw or in the Music app so I don't know how to turn the app on. Does anyone else see Tune-In in there app draw?? I'm puzzled.

Only the Tmobile version seems to have this problem.
T-Mo made almost every single app a system app, so no uninstall for you non-rooted folk. On the other hand, if you're feeling lucky, go ahead and root that sucker and delete/freeze apps to your heart's content. Like, for example, the 10 or so T-Mobile apps. It's absurd how much crap they put on it.

This issue still exists after the OTA update. Are there any fixes short of installing Anycut and manually making a link?
It's located in the Music app, the one named Music not the google Play Music app... If you can't find Soundhound, it's in there too

Android tether 3.1 beta

Hey guys anyone know some good settings for android Wi-Fi tether 3.1 to work on the charge..
I saw somewhere to use fascinate as the device profile and change to digital for Samsung, but that has never worked for on any 3.1 versions, so Ive used 2.0.7 since I found Wi-Fi tether...
If anybody could help me I would greatly appreciate it thanks

Uncheck wifi driver reload and choose the Droid Charge profile. Make sure you uncheck that box though, otherwise you'll have to reboot to get wifi back.

One big advantage I see is that the new version is in the Play Store, so no more bother with sideloading. It'll autoupdate this way as well.
So Verizon is allowing us to download that version? Sounds fishy don't you think?

I understand Play Store is Google. I had the impression that carriers can block certain apps from appearing in the Play Store. When I was on sprint they blocked wireless tether app. I'm probably wrong about Verizon.

Google had pretty much blocked all tethering apps from the Market for a while, but they've started popping back up again. Not sure why the change in policy, unless they've just decided to stop letting the carriers dictate their internal policies.

I love wifi tether with unlimited data...it's just like being hooked up to HSD at home.
FoxFi works fine for me. Don't have to deal with rebooting on the wifi tether app.

I use Wifi Tether and I don't have to reboot either. It's as simple as unchecking a box in the config. I don't trust FoxFi. Anything that uses the built in tethering is going to automatically be easier to detect than something like Wifi Tether or Open Garden.

URL associations with apps removed from ALL thunderbolt, possibly all HTC phones soon

This is a widespread issue among thunderbolt users, but I haven't seen a thread here yet.
I haven't accepted the OTA update from earlier this week, but last night my phone booted with what I assume was a update. Now, any URL can only be directed to the Web browser, not an individual app (for example, Google play links link to the play website, not the app. Same with youtube links). There's not too much out there about it, but from what I've seen, this is due to a new patent lawsuit from apple directed at HTC. Apparently HTC laid down and just removed the function. This is terrible and pretty much ruins the phones functionality.
As of right now the only work around I've heard of is custom roms. Personally I don't have that option as this is a corporate phone. Has anyone heard anything or does anyone have any ideas for a work around? I imagine what would work would be a fake "browser" that you would set as the default and just would reroute to apps, but I certainly don't have the developing know-how to make such a thing.

With the HTC One series, there's a new "App Associations" menu that allows you to assign what apps will be used for various link types... is there no equivalent in the new OTA update for the Thunderbolt?
After the update there is that setting in the applications menu under settings
Sent from my HTC Mecha using XDA
This is frustrating.
I updated to the software update and regret it to the fullest extent. Now NO videos of Youtube open in the app. This is a headache.
There is a new "apps association" menu in settings now, under Applications menu. But there is NO option to set YOUTUBE as a default like it used to be with ease.
Anybody here have a way around this??
What I found is using Opera Mini helps this by making it one less step to open videos in the app. But still miss the old direct way.
Help people!!
This is due to the patent judgment against HTC by Apple. The same judgment that recently delayed the release of the One X and the EVO 4G LTE. This feature will be removed in all future HTC releases.

I went with browser swap, but that doesn't really help with YouTube links. Maybe someone will stand up and code an app?

You can't. Apple patented the tech, all they will do is go after a new developer of such an app. Your best bet is to root, run titanium backup, and flash a custom rom that is based on an older Thunderbolt ROM if you want the feature back.

That's not exactly some HTC key/core feature. It's in every Android phone and part of the Android source itself. Even the Galaxy Nexus does it. It's not even a phone specific feature. PCs have done it for years using file://some-local-filesystem-point and using sockets to link apps to other apps. That's all Android does pretty much. Since everyone should be rooted on here (the thunderbolt is painful if you don't), it doesn't affect anyone.
Also I see no source links in your post. Means nothing if you can't link to something verifiable.

It apparently runs a check to see if you are rooted. Try downloading OTA Rootkeeper from the play store. It has the ability to temporarily unroot your phone. I have used it to get flixster to run after it refused to run after it found root on my phone.

Someone on XDA posted a version where they removed the security check. It works on rooted phones, and non-supported devices. A search should turn up the link. Be aware, however, that the video is downrezzed (by Directv, not the hack) and looks like garbage on any screen with decent resolution
