[REQUEST] Where.apk

Does anyone have the apk for the app called Where? It comes on the backflip and is available on the droid but I cant seem to find it in the market with my ATT N1 due to some kind of firmware issue. Any help is appreciated.

Hmm, weird. I can download it off the market on my N1 just fine.
Lemme know if that link the other gentleman provided doesn't work, ill try to up it to my DropBox.

google is aware of the problem. its only the att versions that are having issues seeing all of the apps in the market

Isn't ATT 'controlling' certain things about the market? Maybe that's why it's not showing on your ATT N1?

i think they may be because i read somewhere that if i put a t mobile sim in the phone i wouldnt have a problem. hell i dunno.

I don't have these issues with my N1 on ATT. *shrug*

having the same problem with ATT N1 missing Market apps. Attached is a newer version of Where app, 1.88, i think. 1.90 is newest, but can't grab. would appreciate if someone could UL the latest.

I emailed with Tech Support at Where. They said there was a contract issue with AT&T. Appears that if you want where, you have to pay AT&T each month and have one of the approved where handsets.

Could someone that has access to a newer version of Where 1.9 post either a download link or attach the file here in the forum.
We ATT folks would much appreciate it.
Thank you

Where 1.9.1

Thanks a bunch!!
Do you have a specfic source since I see you are on ATT as well?

Well, screw ATT. I was looking for an app like this just yesterday and nothing looked good so I decided to stick to google maps. Are there any other known apps that ATT is screwing us on?

Thank You Very Much! For Some Reason My Boost Mobile Motorola i1 can't access some of these apps on the Market. My assumptions it's because it runing on Android 1.5. Hopefully they will release an update soon considering 3.0 is rumored to be released soon.

Thanks. There is a new version out. Can you please share it too?

You guys really find the app that useful?
The only useful stuff I found it did, Google local search already does.
Any who, here is Where 1.9.6

Where is the only app I've seen that gives a decent listing of gas prices nearby, anyone have any better suggestions?
I'd be happy to take back the 5-6M of storage it takes up..... Yikes.

Zipcar
It is also the only zipcar app for android.

If you use AppBrain and the new fast web install they have, you can install it from the AppBrain website. It still won't show up in the market for updates, but you can probably get it updated the same way.

[Q] Apps are removed from Market???

Did anyone notice the apps Shazam and Where are gone from Market downloads? Those are the best free apps out there and it is completely gone. I feel so lost now.

Just search google for the apk and sideload it...
Edit, Shazam is back not sure whats going on with Where.
Edit2, Where? must not be available on Rogers either. I use Poynt. It's just as useful to me.

WHERE isn't available from an AT&T connection, as they have their own WHERE on their Android phones.
How it's filtered I don't know.

thanks guys. I have t-mobile but Shazam and Where is still missing from Market. It must be a carrier thing but I thought we all share the same android Market. I even tried a search for Poynt and that wasn't in Market either. I do have the apk for Shazam and I tried to install it but It failed (the same install worked last time). So I think these two great apps are gone for good from T-mobile.

I can find Shazam here in the UK.

try sound hound. blows shazaam out the water

I just checked my market (Motorola Droid running CM v6.0.0) and both Where and Shazam both show up. So it must be a carrier thing, not an Android Market thing.

Such a shame but thanks for recommending Sound Hound. It works great. One down and one to go.

I'm pretty sure you can get poynt from the website (but it just may email you a link to the market I'm not sure).
http://poynt.com/android.html

yes, it's just a link to the market and it's not available off the market. But thanks anyways.

Have you tried the market enabler? I was told something about changing regions but I've never installed it. Might be worth a try if you have a free minute.

nope no different. anyone know of an app that will replace "Where"?

bump 10chars

Every phone "shares the same Market" as you said, but we're not allowed to walk down the same aisles. Developers can filter their app to not be visible by certain carriers or in certain countries, so you may not see it on T-Mobile but somebody on Verizon might.
As for Where, there are a million of those location awareness apps that can replace it. They may not be as good or to your preference, but Poynt, Yelp, Geodelic, etc. might do the core features.

IMO, Google Places and GasBuddy replaces WHERE. If you really want the food etc type stuff, add Yelp too.
Or download the WHERE apk I suppose. It's around.

I have a nexus one running cm6 on T-Mobile USA and both of the apps show up on the market just did a quick search to make sure

The PayPal Mobile app disappeared for me from Verizon's market after I upgraded my Droid X to 2.2. Apparently it's still visible to 2.1 users, presumably since Verizon has been so slow about officially pushing out Froyo. I finally tracked down the APK and all is well.
The geographic/version limitations of the market are silly in the 'big picture' but I guess they make sense from a business standpoint for the carriers and everyone else getting a piece of the pie

I have the same specs as well but it still isn't visible in market. So I guess it's area specific? I'll give those other apps a try. Thanks guys. It's just more convenient when you have just one app that can complete multiple functions instead of having two or three apps.

Where did you find the PayPal apk? I've been trying to find it and get it from PayPal for quite some time now...
EDIT: Never mind. I was able to find the apk from Android Freeware.

They replaced Shazam for Shazam Encore now, so now its no longer unlimited tagging its replaced to 5 tags a month now. You have to buy it to get ad free and also get it unlimited tags

[Q] Best Video chat software?

Currently running TnT lite 5.0.1 on my ViewSonic G tablet and have tried Qik (the version designed for the galaxy tab), but the sound didn't work. Tried fring, but the whole app just made funny noises and didn't work. Also tried Tango, but the app didn't recognize a phone number, so it wouldn't let me use the software with my tablet. All tests were done with the gf who has an HTC EVO, stock.
Has anyone had any luck with any specific combination of ROM's and apps? Or do you know of another app that would be best?
Notice to SKYPE... you're expected to be the industry leader here, so wtf are you doing so far behind the curve on mobile video chat???
Thanks for any help!

Been wondering about this myself. I don't understand why nobody is making a big deal out of this. What's the point of having a front facing camera if there ain't no video chatting program that works? I am particularly ugly... don't know why my boy friend is my boy friend in the first place. I wouldn't want to take pictures of myself in a million years.
Anyway, this is one of the reasons why I'm still hesitant to order this device.

Try Yahoo messenger+ video plugin. It wors perfectly for me. Sound and video. Tested yesterday.
Greetings

But with yahoo messenger you can't call people on other services like skype. Or can you?

No, only yahoo contacts, but at least is a solution. Skype is playing the cell companies game here, so it will take a long time before they offer a video solution.

So what is the XOOM using for this? Custom Motorola build of something or... ?

Ya, xoom supposedly has a kickass video chat possibility that they've been advertising for a while. What are they using?

My understanding is the video chat in Honeycomb is through the GTalk server, which is awesome. Also quick note as I haven't seen it mentioned yet, Qik is actually owned by Skype.

The oovoo site says my tablet doesn't qualify (running tnt 4.25)
And loading the oovoo apk I found on xda only force closes. (Even after moving it to system/app)

As I stated in the original post, it didn't work for me. Not sure if anyone else was able to make it happen.

Bump.. still no viable solutions...

Ok, I consider this very important. None working outside of yahoo? Lets all keep searching for a solution. Share your findings ASAP!!
Thanks

Isn't Skype eventually supposed to add video/camera support for tablets in the near future? Thought I recalled a couple of articles during CES about this.

Wow, AT&T blocks non market apps?

That is so pathetic. Just another reason to hate that company.
Anyway...my friend just got an inspire and is new to android. I'm just helping with the phone (I have a verizon android phone) and realized that AT&T finds someway to screw with consumers again. So, is there a way to get around this and install non market apps?

You can use sideload wonder machine http://forum.androidcentral.com/android-sideload-wonder-machine/
Or root the phone and load a custom ROM that has non market apps enabled

the sideload wonder machine method is sipmple the only drawback is that the apps wont receive updates like they would from the market, if I'm not mistaken.

Also if I remember correctly if the app is to big for side load wonder machine, you can use adb push. There are always work arounds.

That's why it's such a sweet feeling when you uninstall their application through TiBu........

You can also consider rooting the device. I did mine with no issues at all. It's VERY easy, just time consuming. From start to finish, took me about 35 minutes. I already had EVERYTHING I needed to do this though, including the ROM I wanted.

You want good go to Amazon App store, in the past few days I got a full version of Shazam and then SoundHound. Both have full unlimited use with no expiration, also if you change rom's you can redownload them from your account for as long as you have the account. They give away a full paid app everyday on there.

Netflix?

anybody got netflix working for the infuse? i tried the stock 1.2.0 and modded 1.2.0 before seeing that 1.2.1 is out and doesnt have device check anymore so it doesnt need to be modded but its still closing the program after i log in.
1.2.1 apk: http://db.tt/wDtOm1L

Yeah, I tried as well this morning with the same results. BTW just wanted to note my infuse is rooted.

Rooted infuse with no device check apk same result

tried. Installs fine, but closes after trying to sign in

I am able to sign in and utilize all of the apps features including navigating my instant queue, but it shuts me down when i try to play.

it only works with gingerbread on the hummingbird. on a snapdragon it works on 2.2 because quallcomm has a deal with netflix. i guess the drm support is different.

Thanks for the the 1.2.1 download. I was able to get the 1.2.0-No device check.apk version to install and launch. Everything but streaming is working (i.e. add to queue, search, etc.). One thing I haven't tried yet is to 'deactivate' one of my devices that I use to stream Netflix. Remember, you only get 6 unique devices at a time. I had to do this when I got my AppleTV2 and realized that between the xbox360's, blu-ray player and the multiple iphone/Pads in our house, that I had run out of activations (got a message that the ATV2 couldn't access Netflix Instant, blah, blah, blah... a similar one to what I'm getting when I try with the Infuse), so I deactivated the blu-ray and was able to use my ATV2 just fine.
Will post if this works.

deactivating devices doesnt make a difference. and i dont appear to be limited to 6 devices anymore, i now have 9.

What it's going to boil down to is to modify a gingerbread rom and most importantly a kernel to get it onto an infuse. That's the only way we're gonna pull this off.....

Or just wait. =]
