Hi guys,
I've managed to install many applications on my Nexus S, however I just can't install Beautiful Widgets on it at all. Does anyone know if this screenshot attached can help - or can anyone point me in the right direction?

I've emailed the developers, and they say that Beautiful Widgets is indeed compatible with the Nexus S, and they develop on the Nexus S all the time.
So I don't know if it is my Google Apps account or something else that is making this difficult?!
Thanks guys
Did you try buying it from the Market app on your phone rather than the website?
As a last resort, you can download the app market enabler and spoof it as T-Mobile USA and buy Beautiful Widgets
It definitely works on the NS but I wish I hadn't bothered as it seems really pixaly.

I've had no problems with it on mine. I use the Beautiful Home Smaller Weather widget on both my home screen and lock screen. It's pretty terrific. You might have issues with the location function, but if you do, you just have to clear the caches in any apps that use location (when I first got it, it was setting to my old apartment. I had to wipe data in BW and Maps, and it's been fine).
The OP isn't asking if the widget works on the NS or not. The problem the OP is having is buying the app from the website, unsure if he can buy it within the market app.
Thanks for the advice.
I can't actually find the Beautiful Widgets app in the Market app on my phone.
Even if I go to the developer's website and scan the QR code, the Market app tells me that there are no search results.
Perhaps then it is a location (South Africa) problem, and I will need to spoof it as T-Mobile USA and buy Beautiful Widgets.
I've just never rooted my phone, and if this is the case, I will need to do some more reading up on how to backup, root, recover, etc before I go any further!
Thanks for the help!
P.S. Going to try purchase it with AndroidPit website ... will revert!
Hi Guys,
It was definitely a location type problem between my phone and Google, or else a problem with Google Checkout and my credit card?
Perhaps I can't purchase any app through the Google Marketplace? I'll have to check that out further.
At any rate, I purchased the BW app through AndroidPIT and BW works perfectly!

Are you on 2.3.3 GRI54? Previously I flashed the Axura ROM and I can see almost all apps but not Fifa 10, when I go to market.android.com, it says the same thing, the app is not compatible with my phone. The developer fixed it by using back the signature GRI40 for the ROM.

The OP already fixed the problem, it was a problem with his location.
No need to respond to this thread anymore.
@gene: I hope thats not warez.

I was just wondering if Google or anyone else had noticed this loophole?? Download a paid App, back it up to your SD card, get a refund for the paid App and then reinstall using the backed up App.
It isn't something I have done or will do but was wondering if this does actually affect things or the App??

That is interesting but I don't think so.
Doing that would be the same as downloading warez...not welcome on XDA
You won't have access to future updates, also, doing this regularly makes you a douchebag.
Like I say, it isn't something I do and I support the Android community. Was just thinking that it seemed such an easy way to exploit the Market and maybe Google should do something about it.

Not being an actual developer I may have some details off, but...
I think Google implemented an app authentication API that checks with the mothership when you run a program to see if your Google account is authorized to run the app.
I ran into an issue with this (I really should let the developer know, don't know if it was an issue of the API, or their implementation) with Locus Pro. I had been using the free app for a while and decided that I liked the app enough to throw some dough towards the developer. So, I purchased and downloaded the Pro version and immediately threw it on the SD card (Moto Droid1, <256M for apps... need every Meg I can get...). First time I tried to run the program it started up and then popped up a notification stating that I wasn't authorized to use the app. I moved it back onto the phone and ran it again. This time it worked. Then I moved it back to the SD card and haven't had an issue since. I'm hoping that the app doesn't decide to check with the mothership next month (when I'll be heavily using it) while I'm in Sweden w/o a data connection.
What about all of those tablets that don't have the Market installed? Surely these Apps can be sideloaded and there would be no way to check the validity of these Apps.

As stated above, weather it works or not, it would be considered warez and everyone knows our stance on it.

So guys here are some screen shots of some notifications I keep getting daily. It takes me to a website offering my a free ipad.
Hoping you may recognize this and be able to help me locate the culprit.
Mant thanks in advance

Amazing, now I just received a new one.....
1.Have a look if you have unchecked Google AdMobs in Playstore Settings
2. Try "Airblocker" from the Playstore
These steps worked for me in a similar case.
Thanks will try, but why is this even happening?
The app located Sky Map Pro as the culprit so uninstalled that, so hope it works.
Never experienced this with the iPhone. Shame on Android for letting such apps through the approval process!
If we compare Play to iTunes Store - there is no approval process here ( there is, but compared to iOS it's like there is none ). Everyone can publish their apps of every kind - no restriction, no "you can't do this or that" from Google.
You have to be careful what you install. There is always the option to report an app - and then Google will take a loot at it, so i'd suggest you do that.
Hey, you guys are so lucky! Fee iPads!
I had this a while ago with a game I downloaded online (an iPhone port, not a paid app) and it kept happening out of nowhere!
Use a "task manager" or "task killer" app from the market and close any open apps one by one until you see the notification disappear. That way you'll find out which app is poisoning your phone, and you delete it straight away.
Problem solved and make sure you let people in this thread know, so if they have the same app causing this issue, then they can delete it immediately.
Hope that helps

thats how i solved it
i had that problem.
very simple ...
when u press on the notification its using the spam app to open the link.
after u press the notification
press long press on the home menu, u will see the last used apps. check the last one on the list.
thats the Spam one ! ! !
I had these before and always after a reboot....
Then I went to Play store and installed Airpush Detector. Check and Uninstalled those ad-wares.
It's gone now!
Thanks for all the great replies guys. I really appreciate it, cheers
Hello I just got a One S yesterday. my old phone is a HTC HD2
I found the PDF of the users guide for this phone but as I am reading, I dont see the options they are talking about on my phone.
for example.....if you hit the apps button from the home screen you are "supposed" to be able to find something called "show Me" and "transfer" but I dont find this stuff.
my main issue right now is trying to find a way to transfer my contacts from my old phone to the new one. and no my contacts are not linked to google or anything else.
thanks for any help or comments,
Nicole
I don't undrstand why ud get such a nice phone and have to read the user guide loool u had the hd2 wats wrong with u lool anyway apps are organised alphabetically transfer will be on last page swipe right and there is also a search function u can use top right corner on all apps

Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
thats the odd thing, from what I see neither of those exist on the phone. not on the app list and not when I search for them.
Should be ;/ check your boatloader are u unlocked ? Where did u get It from? When u set up phone the last step is transfer why didn't u do It?

I got the phone from a T-Mobile store. The guy there started up the phone to make sure it was working. I think I am stuck manually entering everyone. Now I am also stuck with all my facebook people synced on here by accident. Searched the forum and all ways to fix this don't seem to work either. Darn it. Lol. Nothing seems to be going good for me
Dowload ruu and flash it will put u exactly how it should be

The How To seems to download pdf instructions (didn't try), Transfer is a phone to phone sync.
Bell (Canada) doesn't seem to **** around with phones too much, the only thing I can tell they install is the "Mobile TV" app (maybe sympatico.ca too, I don't have a sympatico e-mail with them), which is included in my monthly plan (10 hours a month, does not add to data). HBO is 5$. It has a couple dozen channels for free (could watch the stanley cup live on it).
I can't remember anything pre-installed on my Legend when I got it either.
That's odd. So those exist on some of the one.s phones but not all. I definitely don't see them on mine
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using XDA
I guess T-Mo removed those apps and didn't remove it from the user's guide.
I still have transfer on LeeDroid custom rom
Maybe someone smarter than me can get OP the app
But, there are some transfer apps in Play Store
I did see a setting somewhere when I set up accounts not to sync Facebook etc--forget where--

I didn't find this anywhere else on the forum for the latest version so i'll post this modified version of spotify that i has put together to work with landscape! Perfect for your car dock and such. The only thing i've found that doesn't work so far is the Play Now window, you can't get it up without turning the phone back to portrait. Maybe someone here know how to fix it, if so let me know!
Anyways you can download the current version Here (0.6.0.17)
Thank you for this wonderful fix! Any progress on the Now Playing Tab?

Tip from Zisid
A tip is to navigate to "sdcard://Android/data" and find "com.spotify.mobile.android.ui" and rename it to anything. After that you uninstall the market version of Spotify and installning this. After that you navigate to the data folder again and rename the renamed folder back to the initial name. Then all playlists, settings, and songs should still be there. Just like before!

I tried this. Playlists and settings were saved, offline songs had to be re-downloaded.

PS: I posted a link to this in the "Why isn't there a landscape mode?" thread in the official Spotify Help Forum: http://community.spotify.com/t5/Mobile-Android/Why-isn-t-there-landscape-mode/m-p/95245#M5657
Thanks for the app! For some reason, Facebook Connect fails.

Hi, thanks for this appli, work only with fb account? no other solution?
Dude, thanks for this, installed and tested the landscape rotation. Seems to be working perfectly @ all angles. Such a simple thing and the guys over at spotify don't seem to feel it's a necessity. Glad you did and took it upon yourself to fix the problem!
Thanks again, your efforts are greatly appreciated!!

Edit/Update: Looks like radio isn't working on this version. I don't have premium and literally only use the mobile app for the radio functionality. Not sure when radio was added but any chance you can re-swizzle this with a version that includes radio? It does work perfectly as far as I can tell, but since I don't have premium I can't say for sure.
@jason2005: I was able to log in just fine with my Spotify creds, no need to login with facebook. But then I was a beta tester when it 1st released here in the states and never chose to link my FB account to it.

Same here, I think that will be a permanent fault due to the device level authentication codes which spotify uses when authenticating with facebook.
Use the instructions here:
https://www.spotify.com/uk/help/faq/account/#connect-devices
to set up a username and password for spotify devices, there are a couple of hoops to jump through but it does work!
No landscape support in this version either from spotify So here is a new modified APK for you to download!

I'm looking to sideload the sms app that i've had with two previous android phones. After getting my new N5 yesterday, it seems the stock 'messaging' app has been replaced in favor of hangouts. New to hangouts, but after about a day, i can say f-that. I know other sms apps are out there, but i really just want the one I've had for years. I promise I've used the search feature, please don't fault me if this info is out there.

There you new app may show up, so, you can set it as default.

The problem is that the messaging app wasn't installed. My N5 was bought from the play store jsut this week. Maybe it is installed on the t-mobile or sprint variants? Has anyone pulled that apk and posted it anywhere? My wife just got an unlocked moto x and it has it.

this is the stock MMS.apk you see in that picture
Thanks, I see it's not totally the stock messaging app, but I will give it a try. It mentions a lack of bloat, but new useful features. Anyone know what additional features are that they've added?
