Anyone able to install Google Earth on the sensation yet? Searched for it on market place and while it's there, once I chose it, it wont see my device and won't let me install it.
If I browse from my phone I can't even see it.
Does that mean its not supported or summit else ?
I have it on mine
Works just fine

Have you tried to open the market on your phone, then menu, settings and allow all applications? I got it and works fine... otherwise you can find it directly on the market place : https://market.android.com/details?id=com.google.earth&feature=search_result
Depends which region you are in and which market and if the regiuonal market supports that particular device/ROM. I cannot get it from the market here in Singapore on the Sensation but do have it on the Flyer.

Am I the only one who has problems with Google Earth?
I mean, using normal view is ok even with ground elevation, but if I switch on 3D buildings the app becomes slower than a snail on a turtle. Of course Sense restarts when I exit.
This sure isn't a cpu issue since this happens both with stock [email protected] and [email protected] Judging from the fact that the app itself eats up almost 100-200mb or RAM (with buldings off and on respectively) it sure is a memory issue. Anything else I could try?
At least I found an easy way to clear ram when I need it or when Sense starts restarting itself! I experienced multiple restarts a while ago, free ram was always below 80mb with nothing running. So I just opened the app, browsed around the map with buildings off, and then closed it through task manager.
I'm at 180-150mb now and it hasn't dropped since
Google earth is on play store and it works great

Decided to go onto the markeylt to have a look for some alps as you do when I noticed the now on the market where it has the 3 short cut options apps games and my apps now shoes apps games and vodafone.... On there is a bunch of apps they reccomend, apps I already know about and don't use because I don't want to so I was a little annoyed to see the my apps button removed
You branded vodafone

I have a thread open about this. Restart the phone and it goes back to normal. I don't think we were supposed to see this yet. I'm expecting it to become permanent in the future, perhaps to coincide with a ROM update.

Fyi, my unbranded Sensation has HTC in the Market, instead of Vodafone!

Yeah, seems OEMs/Operators are starting to link into the apps more

Unbranded handsets still say 'HTC' instead of My Apps - looks like it's going no matter what

Ive just noticed an app in my app drawer called Vodafone Rescue. Im sure it wasnt there before. As anyone else got this?
Found its description HERE.
I think it can be uninstalled but im sure ive never noticed that before.
yea you are right this wasnt there before, I noticed this on my first sensation when I sent it back and got a new one it wasnt there, it appeared when I had to restart my phone, the Vodafone Branding came on the market and the Rescue service also appeared.
I assume its remote access if you are having problems, voda can take controle of your phone and sort any issues.
Can it be related to which SIM card you have in your phone? I have a Vodafone branded Sensation but still with the SIM card of my current operator (going to Vodafone in a month) and in the market it still says My Apps.
I would assume that vodafone send down some form of 'Ping' at some point that adds Vodafone Rescue and changes the market menu link, but I cant be 100% sure, but I would assume it has something to do with the sim
Unbranded FW now says 'HTC' instead of My Apps but you can still get it by going Menu>My Apps
cheers eddie, i feel the removal of apps on android is a drawn out task, I know using launcher pro enables you to drag and drop apps inot the bin to uninstall but I would think this should be a standard feature
Just had this chat with Htc:
I do have rescue but i can't see any changes to the market, and i have restarted phone recently.... Hmmm....
the quicker we get s-off with perma root, the better. I dont like how vodafone have the ability and right to install their crap without permission or warning, on a device I own and that I have paid for.
Custom unbranded rom please!
Here is the .apk for the new market that was updated. Adds a feature to +1 an app and also adds PIN protection for purchasing apps.

Watch my video and be the judge. That's why i made it. But to answer you id say no its fixed.

The slowness and lagginess of the new Market reminds me of Ovi Store on my old Nokia N96. Google can do much better than this! Probably a "contract out" job. No other Google app is anywhere near this bad.
Found a way to bypass the PIN system.
Settings > Applications > Manage Applications >Market > Clear Data
If you had set up a pin, clear the data then it won't be set up anymore...
Really poor implementation.

Did you try purchasing an app after clearing data? I'm just thinking that although the cleared settings may not show there is a PIN set up anymore, it might be stored server-side?
Otherwise, yes, that is appalling!
with this thing is basically impossible to update anything ... Google Maps, Locations, AURA for Android, Sound Houd etc etc ... a message pops up telling me an update is available, when i tap it it shows the application page on market i tap update a loading circle appears and iam waiting and waiting and waiting ... 5min, 20min, 30mins .. then exiting market app with no update.

Does anyone have the solution for this? I'm having the same problem...
Maybe its because the market isn't recognised the ics, this happens a few times and is usually solved just by waiting.

I've got same problem, plus hundreds of games and apps has disappeared from play store, using see arc s, apps I've got installed no longer compatible, tech support told me to do a factory reset, no way, if that doesn't work how will I install all my apps again, 2.3.4 gingerbread, doomkernel v 22
That seems like a mess...
Lets give it a fresh start, which firmware version/rom/kernel are you on?

Delete your Google account from accounts & sync.
Reboot to recovery, wipe Cache +dalvik.
Reboot.
Add your Google account.
Enable the option "Keep this device backed up with my Google account" to automatically restore missing apps.
Do this, and it should be fine.

no longer a major concern with the new google play.
personally, I find it a lot easier to pick what to reinstall from the website via a desktop.
this is the response i got from Google play support, Thanks for following up and for providing those additional details about the issue you're experiencing on Google Play. In reviewing the information you've provided as well as our records, it appears that this issue is related to the fact that you're not using the authorized ROM that came with your device - using any ROM besides the factory default may cause the device to have limited functionality and may cause unexpected behavior with the Google Play Store app. Unfortunately, we won't be able to troubleshoot this issue further because the issue appears to be unique to the way your device is configured, and we can't recreate the issue with our devices here. To resolve the issue, I recommend using the authorized Android operating system provided by your manufacturer that can be obtained from their website or your carrier.
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.
