BBC just released their official News app for Android, but it's not available for US in the Market.
Can someone [probably in the UK] share the APK???
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/24917729/bbcnews.apk
Is there a way to get this to work in the USA?

Yeah mine just says "Application not installed" on my HD2 running gingerbread.
Edit: With market enabler I was able to change my country ID to a UK one and eventually the market website recognized my phone as elligible. I was able to install it from my PC just now.
Double edit: The live stream portion of the app still doesn't work - it says "not available in your area" but the text news stories work.
They just released it? I've had this app for the past 6 months...I live in Canada, not sure if that matters?

I'd never thought of using Market Enabler for stuff like this. Very nice. Thanks for the tip.
I ended up changing it to O2, number 23410. Installed without a hitch (or reboot).

I was pretty surprised a refresh of my browser did the trick - pretty neat indeed. That's the same code I used as well .
Not sure why the apk in the Dropbox link (633kb) didn't work, but here's the copy from my phone (591kb):

Thanks, it works
Edit: Dammit, Live news and other videos doesn't work
No scrolling widget
Same here, but yours worked for me on my Atrix and Xoom Much appreciated.
Now, BBC just needs to give some real Honeycomb love.

It works. First time mine phone says "Application not installed" and second time the application was installed without any problems. Link to the livestream is missing unfortunately . Thanks for the APK File. Looks like a great app. I would consider about moving to the UK. lol.
As others have said, no live stream, but it works well otherwise.
any ideas how to make it landscape?
Hi guys,
There is a new BBC News app for tablets. Can someone from UK download it and post it here?

Sprint just released their football app. To get it all you have to do is text FOOTBALL to 7777. Not sure if it works on custom roms but will try with DC2.0r3.
EDIT: Apparently it is already installed on my phone. Guess I just didnt look for it first. However if you are still on a 1.5 rom or another that doesn't have the new NFL you can get it now.
EDIT2: Here is a download link to the apk
http://www.4shared.com/file/254750674/dff83345/sfl-prod-release.html
i have DC2.0or2 and i dont see the app...
is it in SprintTV?
No Sprint dropped the NFL and picked up ESPN mobile app

nope it is called NFL Mobile Live. If you do not have it then just text FOOTBALL to 7777. You will recieve a text with a download link. Just go to the link and download for free.
Here is the E-Mail I recieved.
I got the email too...
to bad NFL Mobile just FC's on my dmgctrl 2.1 roms I'm using.
guess I'll try to delete the app and manually push it from the text'd link.
currently it says its already insalled.
It said I already had the app. I dont see it. Am I missing something?
I start NFL Mobile Live and get an update notice, so I downloaded the new one and trying to install it received a Application not installed.
I am on dc2.0r3
there's a difference btwn NFL Mobile Live and Sprint Football Live is that now you get college too and no more live football video just scores and news and recaps... no more NFL license for sprint

I actually went in to use it and did not get force close. However it did prompt me to upgrade to the new one. Then said install not completed. Oh well I never used the NFL app anyway.
i had read before...
it was ESPN and it would include other sports.. not just Football.
and would have ESPN video feeds.
I guess .. NOT

Hey guys.
Looks like the new Skype app won't work over 3G in the US, probably because the carriers would whine about it.
I have put together a modified version of the skype apk from the market that *should* work over 3G anywhere. Be sure to uninstall the Market app first!
Download Here!
Brilliant
Great idea, but I can't sign in. Over both WiFi and 3G I get the "can't sign in" error: "We're sorry, but we couldn't sign you in. Please try again later." The stock app works for me, though. I'll be following this thread, though, and I hope you can get it to work!
A friend of mine had the same issue, but he couldn't sign in over the Market app either. Are you able to sign in using the new Market app? Or the verizon-specific one?

Last night I was able to sign in without problem using the market app, but now it's not working either. I'll give them both a try when I get home.
Can you make this work over wifi?
I made a skype account, and indeed I cannot sign in, even with the Market app. I will update this thread later when I get home and I can try it on my Wifi at home. But i kind of doubt you wouldn't be able to sign in and view your account balance or something over 3G. I imagine they would just disable the calling itself.
Ok, I am able to sign in! Looks like it was just an issue with Skype's servers getting overloaded. Anyway - let me know if you can call over 3g!
I think this is working. I made a call from the skype app and the call went through fine and showed my skypeout number on the caller ID. Thanks!
working on my incredible, thanks!
Doesn't work on my Droid 1.
(SS 4.8)
great it works Thx
works on my evo!
Amazing! Thank you so much for figuring this out. We finally have a Skype app that works for any situation!
I tried decompiling the Skype app to figure out how it excluded U.S. users from using 3g, but it was way outside my area of expertise. I couldn't figure out what triggered the switch to display the "You need to use WiFi" message. I'm glad someone was able to do it!
sorry wrong forum!!!
Thanks !

Are you sure? I unlocked the Skype app the day it came out. But I guess it is possible someone else did that too.
It has just been released to the market....but only plays back over Wifi.
Just wondering whether it would be possible to spoof the app into believing that the route was Wifi when it was actually 3G?
Cheers
If I could see it on the market it would be a start.

We need someone to post the original apk.
Or we also need someone to fool it into not caring what country it's in. Haha

If anyone can post the apk would be great full

Also is there any chance that the Iplayer app could be spoofed into thinking it was in the UK even though you are in the US

This.
Might we be able to remove it's check for location?
Or is it using the same check the website uses, and since we can't edit the website, we can't do this?
Thank GOD the BBC have finally done it!! Downloading now
Woah is it that bad? 2 and a half star rating!
APK if needed: http://db.tt/CgCD9fu
The WiFi check is done locally in the application - which is really just a fancy interface around a flash player.
If you know how to edit an APK, you need to edit bbc/iplayer/android/util/ConnectivityStatus.smali, changing line 126 from return v2 to return v4
v4 contains the wifi connection type value so the app will always think you're connected via wifi.
Hey Zibby,
Any chance you can post the mod'd apk?
doesnt work for me.. im in florida (usa) only works within the uk.. any fix for this?
so this doesnt work in the us?
Out currently doesn't work in the US but hopefully the smart folks at xda will figure a way around that

Will post it later today when i have some time - it appears the UK check is done "locally" too. I *think* it sends a request to the BBC and that returns if the IP is in the UK or not. Question is, do the BBC protect the streams or not? (Can anyone outside the UK access the streams?)
EDIT: It seems my modified iplayer app continues to download what you were watching if you just press the back button to "exit" out of the app and churns through the data - can someone check a non-modified version to see if it does it too?

Just had a look using droidstats, and it does appear that the app does the same over wifi. My wifi data usage pretty much stopped when I killed Iplayer.
Just wondered if any progress has been made with this?

I'm guessing iPlayer doesn't protect streams as my cousin, using a VPN, is able to stream iPlayer to the UAE. Hope this helps.
Hi all,
I have a quite annoying issue with my Belgian Transformer.
There is no YouTube app (no widget either) on it! Apparently it is due to the stupid Belgian copyrights protection organisation, called SABAM.
When I search for it in the Market, I can't find it. When I click on a direct Market link to the app, I can find the phone version, but when I try to install it, the Market can't find it anymore.
I also tried a hint from someone, he said to search for the wigdet, and then the app would show up in the app drawer.
I installed the Youtube 2.1.6.apk (for phones) on it, and it works, but it does not have the nice Honeycomb interface.
Is it possible to exctract the application from an onther TF (rooted or unrooted) so I can install it on mine?
If yes, would someone be that nice?
Thanks!
I hope it's not against the rules for me to post this, but please delete it if it is.
This is the YouTubeTablet.apk extracted from the Prime_v1.2_US ROM (I just happened to have that one on my PC), it should work for you. If it's not what you want, head over to the development section, download one of the ROM's and extract the apk.

@I_machine,
Where did you buy your TF ?
I got mine imported fom US so no issues with stupid Sabam...
Nice to know a fellow Belgian is using the TF
AFAIK there is are no separate firmware update for BE. Don't know how they will detect that your device is a SABAM'ed one. Did you upgrade to 3.1 already?
Or will it just filter Youtube out as soon as you set your location to BE?

I have an imported US model, youtube works fine on mine, but indeed in the market it isn't available so i guess future Youtube updates are also an issue for me I Guess.

I do find it strange that 1 TS bought in Belgium does not have the youtube app/widget where mine also bought in Belgium does have the youtube app/widget installed by default.
Am happy to see that I_machine finally got his app

Difference between me and I_machine is that i choose for the English installation and he obvious choose for the dutch (Belgian) configuration.

same problem here.
Belgian transformer french and no YouTube :-(
Tryed toi install thé apk but. I have a message application ont installed
Someone could help ?
Thxxxx
I bought mine at mediamarrkt in Brussels... left it in English. Was able to install YouTube without a problem. I have 3.0.1 and SKU HRI
Same problem for me too.
If anyone has a working youtubetablet.apk.
I have 3.2 and sku TB
Thanks in advance
Me too. No youtube app (Belgian TB) bought at Makro and installed Dutch.
Today on 3.2; notice that when I open a non-tablet app and the screen resizes, when I leave the app and go to the home screen, one third of the bottom screen keeps on 'flashing' and is unreadable until I open another app and then go back to the home screen.
I've uploaded the latest version of the youtube app here:
http://ubuntuone.com/p/18j6/
Sorry this one does not work on the tablet. This the one for Android 2.x
I think we need youtubetablet.apk and youtubetablet.odex.
This one worked for me:

Official Samsung blog: http://translate.google.com/transla...amsung.com/index.jsp&sl=ko&tl=en&hl=&ie=UTF-8
Rumored to be launched in IFA Berlin.
It's kind of like WhatsApp, but what I really like about ChatON is the fact that you can access it from the web.
I'll sure take a look, when it comes out!
Hopefully this is good sounds fantastic. We need more competitors rolling out messaging services to rival and or make a better product close as BBM.
sounds great.
When will this be available for download??
Wanna give this a try, hope it's good and catches on.

Market or Samsung Apps! Search 'ChatON' in Samsung Apps, or search for 'Samsung ChatON' in the Market, be sure to +1 it!
I was really looking forward to use this app but it seems its not compatible with landscape oriented phones. I have the Samsung Galaxy pro and it appears that its not compatible. I don't know how they didn't make it compatible with my phone being that it has a hardware keyboard and its mainly use for messaging. I hope they solve this because its not going to be my phone only but the two new galaxy pros.
Edit: I installed with the apk and apparently it works in landscape also. All that is left is that the verification code arrives in my phone.

Bizarre. I downloaded the ZIP and installed on my device, but the market link says it is not compatible with my device model. Um, it's installed and running. Now, I still have not gotten the verification code via sms, but it is installed and running. Way to go Samsung.
Edit: It actually says it cannot be installed in my country (I'm in Canada), yet when I opened it, it knew I was in Canada and set the country code properly.)

I installed it first time using samsung Apps (where the APK is from) and got the verification code instantly.
I've removed it and installed from the market (so I can get proper updates) and yeah.... no verification code
I say give it time, probably too many requests
Yeah, that's what I figured. It most likely is not available in my country right now as well because they are trying to "roll" it out over a few countries so there isn't so many requests for codes. Us "geeks" jumping the gun
