Why can't I download certain Apps - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I am in Australia, and I have a HTC Mozart and I am confused why I can't download certain apps from the marketplace. 2 Apps in particular
NBA Gametime
Amazon
Any help would be appreciated

Probably because Amazon for instance is not supported in your country.
The same for me in Poland, I can't download Amazon.

Even if you could download Amazon the app only has US items and prices, some apps are region lock. You can't download Netflix either for instance. Amazon said they will release a UK app some day so hopefully they can do one for every country they have an official website.

Also, if the files are bigger than 20mb (I think) then you have to be connected to a computer and download them via Zune software.

Sorry, you're right. Wifi or computer connection, but not 3G.

Non-Serviceable State

I was wondering if unbranding and then using the VPN in Hungary was how the ChevronWP7.Updater worked. Because I'm wondering if I should find an Att Rom for my surround or not. Anyway thanks for any help! :]

No, the VPN method downloads the update OFFICIALLY from Microsoft servers the way Microsoft intended it.
ChevronWP7.Updater, as far as I know, pulls the update from the server and installs it one by one the way of WM6.5 ROM Flashing...
Again, not sure, but I can assure you the VPN method will not leave you hanging when it comes to future updates.
Ok thanks, just thought oh crap... Anyway thanks again

Can't get full webpages on XDA website on my PC..help!

Ok, so I use the xda app on my Nook Tablet, but when going to the website via google browser on my windows xp computer, the webpages are not downloading completely....I get the top Navigation Bar and whatever pop up ad is running but no info below! What's up with this? I need to get in via my PC to download some ROMs and apps.
Is this because I'm running xp instead of windows 7?
I can get the full pages on my browser on the Nook Tablet (rooted) but can't afford enough dropbox storage to get all the ROMs and other files I need uploaded and downloaded to my PC. Anyway, this just seems odd.
This is probably something technically stupid, but, please help if you can!
Thanks..

It may seem simple, but have you tried using a different browser on your PC?
I'm a product of the system I was born to destroy!
Can't get full xda website using XP/Explorer 8 huh?
Oh yes, been there done that! Oddly, on my mom's computer running windows 7 I had no problems.....but it seems hard to believe having xp would limit me that way. I used to be able to get in and see just fine until the last month or so. Checked Norton for any blocks/limitations but none I could see!
Totally perplexed. I am running out of hard drive space but can't see why that would make this happen, unless RAM somehow dips in when needed? But no problems on any other sites!
I am using Explore 8 as primary browser as 9 won't load on xp.....perhaps this is it?
Thanks for your reply. Any other ideas? Any devs or admins out there who can answer?

StarWars Angry Birds not available ?

It doesn't appear in Google Play, if I check the web version of play store it says its not compatible with my phone (Vodafone UK HTC Desire S).
Is this Vodafone, Revio or Google blocking it ? I'm pretty sure it will work fine from what I've seen online where it works on lower end phones ok

Its still not available on Vodafone UK in play store app or via web. Via web I sign in, find app but it says its not compatible with my device. Same on my friends custom rom unbranded Desire S.
How can other people be getting it officially ?
Are you using a custom Rom, if you are, check your build.prop file /system/build.prop, there may be a entry in there that's the issue

those of you who couldn't download star wars from play store as it shows "incompatible", consider upgrade to 4.1 or higher. At least that worked for me.
was using CM7.2 and couldn't download it. No i'm on CM10. downloads and works fine.
I had problems downloading some apps from the google play when i was using gingerbread. Im now using a miui jellybean rom and i can download the same apps i couldnt before.

Quickflix APK

If you have come across this thread I am sure you will know what Quickflix is. Now you would probably also know that the Android app is only available on the Samsung App store (so that's ONLY on Samsung devices). Fortunately, my mother bought a Note 10.1 and I downloaded the .apk, ripped it and then popped it into Dropbox and installed it on my Nexus 10. Works like a charm. Not sure how this would work on devices with different form factors but it wont hurt to try.
Below is the APK. Enjoy.
Dropbox: https://www.dropbox.com/s/qucbwmslbzen9p4/com.quickflix.library.apk
Google Drive: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B-NKfy4HB-MSTVRzeDI3RU5MeWs/edit
4 shared: http://www.4shared.com/android/UcTOkVjb/comquickflixlibrary.html
Please post below your experience with it on your Device and I'll try keep a list of working devices.
NOTE: Quickflix is a PAID service. It costs $15 a month, excluding new releases.
Working Devices:
All Samsung Devices (download on Samsung App store)
Nexus 10
Its a subscription service though right?

Yeah but you can get a 14 day trial to start with, and if you buy a qualifying Samsung device you get 3 months free.
quickflix app
Thanks for the great work, I've been hastling Quickflix to release and app for all Android devices. I can confirm that it runs on both the Asus TF300 and Nexus 7 running stock firmware and jellybean. The only thing I could fault is the volume is low on the TF300. If you have the fix for this it would be amazing.
Keep up the great work
Works on my non-rooted G7.
Successfully installed it on my Rooted Acro S, but when I tried to play a video, the app checks for root and comes up with a message "Videos will not play on rooted devices"
((
If you go here you get a free 2 months.

I use Root Cloak and that works for a lot of things but this isn't one of them.
Does anyone know what Quickflix actually looks for? That way we can block it in RootCloak and it will work.
And BTW, its $10 a month for streaming only

Have you tried the hiddenroot apk? There is a module for this too on xposed framework.Give it a try! Good look!:fingers-crossed:
Thanks all, but apparently QuickFlix just released a new version of the software that now works on everything! I have been using it for the last 4 days and it is great! No more need to hide the root and it is a legit app off the Play Store!
Thanks for the suggestions anyway

I got it from Google play. It is version 3.1.3, which actually also supports Chromecast now. I am streaming to my TV and I love it!
