AIM for Android?

First off, yes I did a search, both on XDA and via Google, and I turned up plenty of mentions, but no actual links.
The official AIM app for Android was released a while back, and it worked great (for me anyway); well, lo and behold my N1 was stolen on Sunday (bastards... WaveSecure's gonna put'em in jail tho), and I just got my replacement today. After rooting and flashing CM 5.0.6 and trying to restore everything to the way it was pre-theft, wouldn't you know it, the app no longer seems to be on the market. Anybody got the APK? Got it installed and can link up a copy from an Astro backup? It'd be greatly appreciated.
Edit: Yes I know there are other apps that provid AIM functionality. Yes I know about the issues many have had with the official app. Yes I'm still pissed that my N1 was stolen. Yes I'm gonna be selling an N1 for a low price once I get the stolen one back (and I'm praying I do). Thx for your concern and your help.

Can't help you with the actual AIM app, btu I can suggest eBuddy as an alternative.

I got the apk but I'm put right now. too bad I don't know how files.

^it's no rush, my dude. If you get around to uploading it when you get home or whenever you have time (assuming you meant you're "out" and I'm not misunderstanding), I'd greatly appreciate it.

When I can't find an app in the Market I can usually get the app wit Market Enabler and switching back and forth with T-Mobile and AT&T. It will usually work for at least one reboot if I fake a provider, reboot, fake the same provider again after the boot, open Market. T-Mobile is 310260. At&t is 310410.
BTW and off topic, does anyone know a place to find a list of ALL the different gsm.sim.operator.numeric values for all the world's Android Markets? That would be a big help.
Anyway, here's the official AIM app. Enjoy.

Hmmm, I just typed AIM and it was the first app in the Market to download.
As for selling the stolen phone, doesn't the IMIE or whatever its called get blacked listed/banned?

That's interesting... it's now showing up for me as well. It looked like a newer version than the one I installed though, it prompted me to "update" to 1.5.5.1 I believe it was; Astro shows the version I downloaded yesterday as being v1.5.5.1 however. Wierd.
I kid you not though, it wasn't showing up yesterday. I even went to the AIM mobile site and tried to get it via the QR code on the page, market found nothing. Odd.
Edit: Also, about the other phone... that's a good question. I guess we'll see if/when the other N1 is returned to me. *shrug*

Rom Manager preloaded?

I just purchased the inspire today, little over a hour ago, very familiar with the custom roms and android, just came from captivate. Mine came with rom manager installed, how does this make sense? its not even rooted. And if for some reason it is a returned phone can they resale it as new?

If you put in your Google account when the phone first boots up it automatically starts installing the apps you had installed previously (in this case, you must have had a phone with ROM Manager on it tied to your Google account at some point).

really? it never did that on captivate, and it was only that maps and soemthing else that was on there asking if i wanted to update them. like right away, i never seen anything like it was d/l something i had tons of stuff installed on my other phone.

That feature was always broken on Samsung ROMs. Did you ever install CM? The feature worked on CM so maybe that's where you had ROM Manager installed and it was backed up.

well i was back on stock been back on stock for awhile on samsung phone. and yea had rom manager installed on it, but had alot of other stuff from market. When I got this phone today right when i started messing with it something came up asking if i wanted to update 4 apps and rom manager was one of them. So made me think it came with it, and if it d/l the app for me shouldnt it have asked me? I mean some apps are pretty big. and if it did d/l it cause i had it on other phone where are all the other apps i had? btw it never did that with my droid x or vibrant either.

Sounds like it was a returned phone to me. Just for grins I had a friend at my old att store test one out, threw my sim in and loaded it up, set my account up to check email and non of my apps installed from the market, had a prompt to update gmail and I think one other but that was about it. Did you get it from a core ATT store or a local retailer?

I have had this on several different phones, though it never worked on my captivate. I believe if you select backup google data at some point and then again when setting up the new phone it triggers it. Not all apps will automatically download but many do.

Hmm see learn something new everyday. Sense the cap was my first Android device I never knew. Thanks Newter for the info. I will be spending a bit more time in this forum as well from now on. Gotta love learning lmao

of the 20 or so i have unboxed i have yet to see one with it on there ... my guess is it is a possible return that was resold ...
did you get it at a dealership store? (radio shack, best buy, or a similar place) or an actual corporate store?

[FIX] Missing Carrier Billing Option in New Leaked Android Market (T-mobile USA)

Some people have been reporting that the carrier billing option no longer shows for them in the new version of the market. This very issue happened to me as well, but there is a fix. Here it is:
Open application management > select the market app > force close it > clear cache > clear data > turn off wifi (if its on) > make sure you have 3g/4g signal (not edge) > open market and except the terms
Carrier billing will be working again, just give the market a min. to finish syncing your account by leaving the main page open (again just like a min). Now verify it worked by checking any US app (apps produced outside the US can't be billed to tmo).

Hasnt fixed the issue for me :'(

Are you sure you followed the instructions exactly? One piece out of place and it won't work. This method worked for me and I can even repeat it 100% of the time (if you uninstall the update and reinstall it you have to do this again to get it working). Not to mention it has worked for other users.

This worked for me, thanks!

if the vendor is not US based I don't think you can bill to Tmo...
also, on the confirmation page, hit the credit card line. you'll get a pop up with a choice of either to bill your credit card or tmo.
sometimes people miss that part...

POST CORRECTION: It works. As Mainspring pointed out, if you try to buy an app from a non-US based vendor, you can't charge to your T-Mobile US account. Just tried a few different apps, and sure enough - one of them let me buy by charging to my T-Mobile account.
A good clue is the pricing - if it's something like $.99, it's probably a US vendor, while something like $1.39 is most likely a vendor outside the US.
Seems to be new to this version of the Market - I seem to recall being able to charge ANY app to my T-mo account, not just US based apps...

Read it later Pro is the app that I tried to buy to test if this fixed my phone and I can not buy it on my phone but I work for T-Mobile and tested the same app on demo phones and co-workers phones and they can bill that app to their account. So I'm not sure why it wont work for my phone and as far as I know I did it exactly how I'm suppose to by fallowing the instructions, even tried multiple times so I have no idea what I am doing wrong

Yeah I'm not sure I'm starting to think it's something T-Mobile screwed up. They added Family Allowances to my account (Bro downloaded $63.96 in apps on his Nokia!!) but it's set up that my line can still download with no limitations on my end and they said it was right on theirs too.
Worst part is they took it off now and I still cant bill to the account even after trying this, uninstalling updates then trying this again, fresh install of the old market and trying this AGAIN! I'm gonna be pissed if I can no longer bill to the account. T-Mobile is looking into it but they blame Google/Android which isn't true cuz I signed my account into a dummy phone at work and it was fine.

Thank you so much!

Gotta love xda thanks man it worked flawlessly
Turn off WiFi
Applications
Market
Force close
Clear cache
3G/4G connection
Accept terms done thanks man
It works guys ..
Now time for them 10c apps lmao

I am not get in the carrier purchasing option even after doing the said steps. Could it be that I am running miui? Anyone else experiencing the same issue?

Thanks, worked perfect

try to uninstall update
My market updated by itself and the Tmobile option wasn't available so I:
Turned off WiFi,
Turned 4G on,
Applications => Market => Uninstall Updates,
Opened market immediately and searched Where's My Water (10c app ),
and the option to purchase using Tmobile was there.. of course I opened market again later on and it was the new market(with no Tmo option) but it does works this way.

Just file a trouble ticket..they can fix it..happened to me 2 months ago..they fixed it in less than a week.

Still a successful method to get it working today...
Prior to trying the original poster's method I was unable to bill to my carrier (T-Mobile). However, after multiple attempts at this method it finally worked. Now I am able to bill to my carrier again after switching ROMs. Thanks.

new tablet problem

Since I got it last week it constantly says rs_9104_v20 stopped working. I went into apps all i see is rs_9104_v30. Not that i know what either is lol. I tried resetting to factory settings still does same thing. It also won't play my family guy game keeps showing peter with something about butt scratcher and incomplete wipe lol. Should I just send it back? thanks sorry I'm a noob when it comes to tablets and such.

Hey, I just noticed your thread while trying to find out some info about this same app you're having trouble with. Does your tablet happen to be an Azpen A727?? I noticed that this rs.... program is associated with these ads that keep popping up in my notifications. Upon further investigation I've found the app is installed in the system partition. You need to be rooted and use Titanium Backup to uninstall it.
My assumption is that it's some crap ad generating program that the manufacturer got paid to bury in the tablet. Funny thing is I have 2 of the same exact tablets and the other one doesn't have any issues! I'm going to freeze it with titanium until I'm sure it won't cause any problems, then I'll dump it.

I'm on the latest firmware and running NuSenseSIXv2.0 (4.4.3 based). Softcard works as expected after setting up the Rootcloak Xposed module.

Same here. I used to use Google Wallet before the update on CVS once in a while. However after the update I'm not able to use it anymore.
Not rooted, running stock Android 4.4.3. OTA Verizon Updated.
I am resetting my phone now and will try soon when I get another chance. Anyway, how did it go for you? is yours working now? I do not have insurance, just ran out two days ago when I did a plan change. Sucks big time now that I have to get to know that it doesn't work. Also, just to be sure I tried ISIS/Softcard Wallet as well to see if it is the Google Wallet itself is blocked or handicapped for some reason. But to my surprise, ISIS/Softcard does not work as well. I am doubting the hardware now. Or this is a solid 4.4.3 Update bug that is causing our device to not function as normal. Question is, is Verizon aware of this? How do we report this to Verizon?
According to what I see here, only few have been affected it seems? or is it so?
I am left with many more questions than answers ever since the update.
P.S - After the update my phone isn't as smooth as it was before either. Feels like the I am experiencing choppy frame rates often times. But not to the level that I will fault the phone.
Please help. Let me know what worked for you and what didn't.

Sorry this probably doesn't help you much but I am totally stock 4.4.3 - no s-off no root and Softcard ( used to be Isis ) works fine for me. Just used it this morning.
Hope you get your issue figured out.

Thanks for the response, Honestly, anything and everything helps. Since you have a Verizon M8, assuming from your signature, I guess I am in the minority or rare bunch who's device is affected. I am glad to know that your device is functioning as normal.
I do not have insurance at the moment. And I am sad to learn that I have to send my device to HTC for repairs. Which takes about 10-14 days without phone.
Does Verizon do loaner phones?

You should be covered under verizons one year manufacturer warranty go in to a verizon corporate store they will probably overnight you another m8, and from what most assume usually they seem to always send a new m8 because they are really hard to disassemble so many thing they replace with new. I know many people that got an m8 replaced through asuron the verizon and at&t insurance and everyone says they got a new one because you can go into the settings and they dont show reconditioned and usually show a build date within a couple months of when they receive them.
I say take it to a verizon owned corporate store steer clear of verizon dealers a corporate store can do more for you like overnight you a replacement.

Bit the bullet and called HTC.

Bit the bullet and called HTC. Found out there is another program that they send out a device in advance, overnight that is along with a mailer envelope to return our old unit. But it seems they put a hold on your card for 599 and also a 29 one time fee for this to happen. I am thinking if it is worth going this route. At least this will solve my problem of being without a phone.
But before I do that, I have made sure the HTC Rep to record our coversation and give me time to call back, so that I can test it out one more time.
( Did I tell you some HTC reps are dumb? The first one I talked to, the girl was so stupid that she did not know what is NFC and asked me to explain what it is, and how to use it. Asked me to pause, stopped me numerous times and made me repeat what was not working. After all that, she still did not get it. Hung up the phone on me and left, and did not bother to call me on my backup callback number. Lol. )

Just went to CVS and tried my Google Wallet. Wholla, it worked. So the second reset seemed to have fixed the problem. Or did it? I am not sure, only time will tell. I will keep on trying once in a while to be sure that it is not just a fluke.
Here is what I did.
The HTC rep (the second one that is, first one was dumb and rude due to her limited understanding) asked me to reset the phone once more, and when the phone booted up, I unchecked the Settings > Power > Fastboot option. Disabled Softcard/ISIS Wallet in App settings, Installed Google Wallet again. And all seems to be in order now. Not sure what caused the initial trouble.
I will be on the look and report if the trouble comes back again.
Thanks for the suggestions and feedback guys.

So as my previous post suggested, after a hard reset and disabling the Softcard/ISIS app, and having Google Wallet as the exclusive app, the tap and pay worked at the CVS. However, when I tried again last night, it is no longer working and not registering the tap anymore at the terminal.
I am confused. Is it the hardware? Should I go ahead with the replacement device from HTC? or Should I just blame the software and keep the phone as is. Although my contacts and account is backed up in Google accounts, I still think its a hassle reinstalling 50+ apps, and restoring the phone to its fully functional day to day state that suited me. I just do not like the hassle of swapping phones.
Any last suggestions guys? Or hardware swap is my only way?

Switched Phones, gave up on HTC One m8.

Update - Got rid of the HTC One M8, swapped for a Galaxy S5 on craigslist and guess what, Google wallet works fine there. Yes, although that is a Verizon phone as well, grass is definitely greener on that side. I do not like the menu system and UI, color etc, but what it supposed to do, it does without any issues. Yes I miss the aluminum body and the build, also the sense 6, but the ease of use with fingerprint sensor and the vibrancy of amoled screen picks up the slack. Wish HTC can use Amoled screens as well.

I was able to use google wallet no problem after the 4.4.3 update at CVS this is however before CVS disabled their NFC payment system.
Stock Rooted.

I was able to use it just fine at Walgreens this morning.

Never had a problem with it 4.4.3 or 4.4.4
