Anyone know what's up with Droidtv? - T-Mobile LG G2x

I've been able to put it on all my g2x's 'til this fourth one. I can see one part of it at market, but the free one is no longer there. I paid for a six month subscription. I've ggogled it but can't find any info.
Also,at my library it is greying my g2x out, as if it's not compatable?
Anyone have the file they can share?Are existing customers affected by this?

I have it, just a library of shows available for download. Its not stream, your shows get downloaded through WiFi or 4G (just better off in wifi, why waste bandwith).
It has it's uses. I only use it to get Daily Show and Colbert. Other shows too but it will eat your SD memory so watch out.
In Market, the application still appears under My Apps. I have the app saved on Nandroid backup. Will suck if they did remove it but IDK.

I reinstalled it from an APK file but it isn't downloading. The TV-guide did show.
Any ideas?

Where did you get the file from? I emailed the dev through Market, and he replied quickly with a working file. It's working fine for me now.

I googled for it.
I emailed the dev. He told me to get subscription version :-(
Well.. I did and it works great

Best streaming app ever!!!!

Hi guys i just wanted to share this awesome app. its called tv shows hd. for some reason they removed it from the market, but i just recently found it. the link is http://www.mobileboxs.info/android-apps/tv-shows-hd-v2-9-android/ just click on the megashare mirror and close all popups. click on where it says free download and close popups. then just wait for the countdown and download the apk. install it by either putting it on your sd card or going directly on your phone and downloading it and installing it like any other apk. Enjoy!!!!
UPDATE: I just found the newest version of this app which fixes the full screen problem...http://www.ipmart-forum.com/showthread.php?647650-TV-Shows-HD-v3.0-(free) you have to register to get the app, but hey 10 seconds is a small price to pay for such an awesome app. And the show quality is AWESOME
UPDATE 2: I just figured out how to use dropbox . Here is a link to the apk... http://dl.dropbox.com/u/25647849/TV Shows 3.0.apk
This is awesome. Not ALL shows work but A LOT do. Re-living my childhood watching Are you Afraid of the Dark.
"How I Met Your Mother" at the palm of my hands!!! Awesome!! Thanks for sharing!!!!!
My pleasure guys just trying to spread the android love. If an episode doesn't work just close the app and restart it usually works for me
Any way to make it full screen?
I use "TV Shows Stream". The free version only allows a few shows, but if you just dish out a couple bucks for the paid app, it's well worth it. Tons of shows that update frequently.

i use this too and its awesome!! anybody know of a live tv app? the last one was taken over by the FBI and other legal stuff anybody find a new one?
To make it fullscreen, just long press near the top somewhere until you see the full screen icon on the top left corner
Tv shows stream is like 8 dollars now...too expensive if u ask me. Tv shows Hd is free and the quality is amazing
Whenever I do full screen like 10 seconds later it goes back to un-full screen. Anyone else experiencing this?

Cant get this damn app to work. It searches for servers and then gives me an ad and then black screen. Tried force stoppping, and retarting. Even rebooted my phone. Any advice? Do I need to be on Wifi or is 3G fine? On a rooted Droid X running 2.3.3.

I can confirm the app working perfectly on my Droid X running 2.3.3 on 3G. Don't know what would be giving you issues.

Problem installing apps larger than 30 mb

So if you have tried to install Wind up Knight you already know it won't install on your GS4G, I asked the developer why and he replied:
"Hi Jorge,
Do you have an HTC Desire or a Samsung Galaxy S? If so, your phone is broken and you should complain to your carrier about selling you a defective product. Those devices are unable to download any application that is larger than about 30 mb. There's nothing we can do about it from this end--it's a problem created by Samsung and HTC.
Good luck,
Chris"
So my question here is, does any one have a fix?
I believe you go to manage applications market and clear the cache and data

Ha.. Defective... psh. So what are you supposed to do, return it for the same "Defective Phone"?
Big question, are you using Data or Wifi to download?
Have you tried the app download all files? I think I read somewhere that it would allow you to download larger apps.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
I have tried both data and wifi, so there's no way to bypass this? I have never seen an app in the market that takes more than 15 MB but this one is almost 50 MB.

EDIT: Oh well, I thought you could download the app to your computer fromt the android market... guess not.
Anyone have any other ideas?
I am having the same exact problem. I am trying to download a 31 mb file. It will not download. 20 mb files are fine. WTH?
I have tried all the app cache and data refreshes mentioned.
This is lame.
But, the suggestion to download to PC and load onto sd card is a great suggestion. Thanks for that. I hadn't thought of that.

I think raver posted a fix for this for froyo.
Those big files are usually games and if you search you can often find the apk available for download somewhere other than the market. I did that with this sword fighting game but the game turned out not to be worth much.
It could be the new market...
I had this issue a while back on my vibrant and now again with Wind Up knight on my GS4G
I believe its the new market causing the issue.
When I uninstalled the updates of Market 3.1.5 and rolled back to 2.12 on my GS4G, Wind up knights Downloaded and installed no problem. My GS4G is rooted with Stock ROM.
My Vibrant is on Cyanogen Mod 7 with Market 3.1.5, unfortunately version 2.12 is not on the ROM so I can not roll back and install this Game.
I don't think its entirely a device issue. There must be something about the hardware that the Market Software just doesn't agree with.
Any other ideas?
I saw that on SGS I9000, custom ROMs fixed it by changing the download temp file size. Maybe we van do the same on SGS 4G...

I have the same problem using the Android Market, but if it's a problem with the phone, why can I DL Peggle which is 74.1MB using the Amazon Market app? I've had no problems at all DL'ing huge files using Amazons Android Market. It wasn't until I heard about a game that was only on the Android Market that I ran it this problem.
I've also read that to fix this all you have to do is roll back to an older version of the Market. The updates have messed it up somehow.
the problem is not the device...
the issue comes with the market sets a cache limit ...
eg cache limit is x size apk is y size if below x limit download if beyond x limit deny
the reason the trick i posted in froyo worked before the new market is it deleted out the temp file folders and recreated tehm without the restriction imposed...
now its handled by the apk itself..
also note working on removing it from the market ;P cause honestly its annoying as hell!!!
Definitely the Market
Its definitely an issue with the new Market 3.x
And it is cache related, but should not be something that we have to worry about fixing.
I found the issue on Google code on the Open Handset Alliance Project. The bug is open, and it would be great for everyone that has this issue to click the star so that the issue can become more important and hopefully be fixed for the next update to Market.

At&t usage bar

Does anyone know where i can find the at&t usage bar that comes default on tablets? I can't seem to find the apk anywhere. Thanks.

From what i found, i have read that it is somehow embedded in the stock rom. I imagine that it has to be extracted somewhere. If you find it please let me know. I use 3g watchdog now but would prefer the stock att one.

I may be able to get this for you. It will have to wait until Tuesday when everyone gets back from holiday vacation. I will bookmark this thread and get back to you.
Well, I talked to the product manager for the usage app. Currently, the app is tailored on a device-by-device basis.
Later this year they will be pushing out a Market version of the app. When that hits later this year, you will be able to download it for your device.
Sorry I don't have better news.

Android Market 3.4.4 - Notice a speed boost

Just curious, does the new Market seem a lot faster for you guys too?

I simply downloaded it... clicked on the completed download... then had the option to install... went straight to the market and checked the version, no issues at all.
Renamed and pushed no problem. Def faster.

when it comes to the market, it only updates when it's open. it's the only app that does it that way. all other apps will show in the notifications. if I'm wrong, please let me know, but I don't think that's the case.

How do you know that this is the ONLY app?
But anyway, my point is if Google can do it on Android platform it does not matter with one app or many.
PS: off-topic, Google Map subscribes to bunch of intents, so it would be launched when you turn-on screen, WiFi etc... I would like start application when I press app icon... There are no other way to opt-out other then disable Map in pm.
Google maps can be stopped by using the app autostarts. All those apps that start by themselves when you do something, ie reboot phone connect to wifi ect... no longer plague me. True, I just delete most of them, but there are some I actually use (like maps and Gmail).
Unfortunately I can no longer find the exact app I use in the market, though I'm sure there are others that do the same thing. If anyone would like the apk for the one I use just let me know and I can post it next time I'm on my laptop.

Autostarts is a paid app in the market.
If you found the developer posted it for free on XDA, please link to that... otherwise this breaks XDA rules.

15 Gb Cloud Storage with JottaCloud

JottaCloud recently released their app for their Google Play Store and it is basically like a cloud storage back up for Android. You can set it up so it automatically backs up your photos, MMS, SMS, and songs to the cloud. It is like DropBox but even better.... and more storage.
You have to keep in mind though...
They are offering you only 5 GB initially...but if you sign up and download the android app ..you get an addition 10 GB...
Do the MATH..
5 GB + 10 GB = 15 GB...WOW!!!!
Learn more about the app here:

And by "so YOU can get the extra 5GB", y'all mean "so I can get 5GB more", right? Haha!
Not sure what the point of this is. I signed up kind of on impulse (and got the 10GB extra) but I don't know what I'd really use it for. I may just uninstall.
Contacts... Google backs that up anyway. I suppose if you're running CyanogenMod sans Gapps, this would be good. Otherwise... Why?
SMS/MMS... I don't know about y'all but once the message is received and responded to (or not) I'm done with it. Not sure why you'd want to keep them around.
Pictures... Dropbox automatically uploads my pictures, so I already have a solution for that. This offers more space, though, so there's that.
Music and video... For one, I have videos I don't wanna sync. Two, it would take longer to download them from the Internet than it would take for me to just copy them back from my computer. So why would I want to waste time uploading all that multimedia? Even if I do it while I sleep, if I need it back, downloading would take more time than transferring it via USB/WiFi.
It's a nice app. Would be nicer with an inverted/black theme, but that's a minor gripe. And it will probably show up in a later version. A Google Play commenter mentioned 4G/LTE sync. LTE would be faster than my home WiFi/DSL, but I haven't got it. For those of you who do (and have unlimited data) this feature is definitely a noticeable omission.
I really use cloud storage quite often. Jottacloud has very good integration with all OS and offers great pricing. Free users get a lot of storage no charge. Can't see a downside.

This isn't like dropbox. It automatically gets your SMS/pictures etc from your phone and uploads them. No files or anything for you to choose and upload.
Works perfectly. Already clicked on someone's referral, so got extra 5 GB. Only downside is that there is no option to select manually what you want in the cloud.
Here is my refferal if anyone needs it.
