[Q] See app in web market, not in Xoom market? - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all
Yesterday I was browsing the market in my web browser on my computer. I was not signed in. I came across an app (actually a LWP) i was interested in (Digital Hive Free LWP) Fired up the market on my Xoom, searched for it, and it didn't show up!? There's a free and paid version of this LWP. The paid version shows up, but not the free version. Why would that be?
Bone stock Xoom. Updated to 3.2.1 OTA. Non-rooted. USA Wifi only model.
ETA: Also, when i search for "digital hive" on my Xoom in the market, it lists 2 apps, but in the top right corner it says there are 5 results. What's going on there? I've noticed that with other searches as well - It would say there are X results, but show me less than that. Is that an issue with the market? Is it because i'm not rooted?

It's the new market causing the issue.

Well, I have one of the newer versions of the market (3.1.5???) and I could find the free version of the digital hive lwp.
It may be more related to the Honeycomb version you have...I'm on 3.2. As you know the developers have to "qualify" their apps for new updates to the OS.

Through the web market i was able to determine that the digital hive lwp free version apparently is considered to not be compatible with my Xoom Odd...

Just found out they changed the density or resolution to our xoom! That's what's causing market issues with apps missing.

Well, at least that's easy to change if you're rooted.

Turns out the new market has a changed copy protection in it. Not density after all. Now how do we get the old market back?

[Q] Does anyone have the Netq Free APK?

I recently flashed my rom without backing up most of my apps... This one was one of my favs. Like it over the stock Netflix app. I've been able to google most of my apps that no longer exist except for this one... I know they have a paid version in the market now, however I would still like the free version. I was just wondering if anyone could post the apk for me or pm it to me?
Thanks.
I would like this to. For now I am using Movela, not nearly as good as netQ.
AndroidZoom has both the free and paid version on their site.
Yes but it just links to the market which says the app isn't available.
Yeah the app is no longer on the market...
I've tried the links..

Have you tried the netflix stock app?
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App
I found an apk for the leaked "official" netflix app. Although it is nice, it only manages the instant queue, not the DVD queue which I need. if someone has an apk for a version that also has the DVD queue I would gladly use that.
I like the search options and filters of netq, I was hoping someone had a copy...

Anyone?
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App
From what I can tell this seems to be a very popular app for netflix users and no one has an apk of the free version?
I know I'm not supposed to bump my own thread, buy I would like to find this app.
Does anyone have apk?

Are you seeing google movies? The new market looks a little strange on my transformer. I can't find the featured tablet apps or movies.
Wow it is badass

Yeah on the tf its an additional app.
On my nexus one out actually replaced the market. Guessing its not HC optimized yet
Looks like I will have to wait a little longer for google movies.
looks pretty sweet I guss well have to wait for the movies though:/ but is it just me or is it a little bit laggy?
it looks like not optimized for tablet, how can I revert to stock market app?

go into settings -> applications -> all -> market -> uninstall updates
Does anyone who's used the new market know if Google have improved
a) The damned search engine
b) A way of differentiating "tablet optimised" or "universal" apps from phone only ones?
(I know it'll probably be redundant by the time Ice Cream Sandwich comes out - but still)
I see movies on my phone

Has anyone tried it who is not rooted? While using temp root on my evo3d I don't have the options for movies but as soon as I reboot and loose temp root I do.
May be the same with our tablets. The movies only show without root.
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
Ok, I was able to verify that even without Root that the movies don't show up on the tab.
This is a bit frustrating.
On my EVO 3D that had temp root, the new market simply had no spot for the movies but I remembered that Google said rooted devices wouldn't be able to use that function. I then rebooted my EVO 3D and voila, I now am able to preview/rent movies on the market so I was hoping that you guys just had not tried that yet here since there is already permanent root for the transformer.
How is this not an option on our tablet? I don't get it.
There is an article that was written a couple of months ago about Google Movies which might be of interest for some people.
The new market is supposed to be for phones. http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2011/07/new-android-market-for-phones.html Read the title.
I have a rooted MT4G and the new market works just fine. I even have the movies tab, btw I like the new market, it looks great.
How is working on the TF ?
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
This works great on my Samsung Fascinate and looks nice. Haven't tried it on my TF yet but will later today.
Hey the next market is for phones. Wouldn't install it on your tablets, it's not even tablet optimized. Step backwards.

Is working super great on my TF so I recomend.
Its working better than the original.
You can unistall if you want to dont replace your original when you install so that means that you will have 2 markets.

USA Android Market, anyone?

Anyone have the latest version of the American Android Market they'd like to share?
A ROM I downloaded had the old v2 market, so I downloaded v3.1.3 from another place. But later found out that I'm being blocked from downloading some apps I usually had no problem getting (Kik and YouTube to name a few).
Ivevtried search here on the Sensation threads, but I think people are using funky naming conventions as I searched for both Market and Android Market and turned no results
Any help is appreciated.

dude the markets are the same, what you need is the Market enabler from market or from here, I assumed you are on custom rom from EU, and thats why you need to unlock market with that app. just set it to T-Mobile USA and done

[Q]New Netflix tablet UI downgrade?

One day to my surprise there was a new ui on my Netflix, so much better so I looked it up to find out they finally made it tablet friendly
A couple of days later I'm back to the old Netflix
I didn't change anything on my xoom since then
Does anyone have the new updated Netflix apk? I can't find it for the life of me

What's wrong with the one in the market? Works great on my xoom. Go to apps and do a search.

The point was it was from the market, no matter what I did, which version I installed I got old crappy look
A wipe and reinstall of my Tom fixed it tho
Sent from my HTC Mecha using Tapatalk
The one on the market displayed both UI's. It's an HTML5 app so they can change the way it looks without you updating the app. If you were tweaking your build.prop or pixel density it may have thrown the app off so that it displayed the old ui.

App Inventor and Honeycomb

I have devloped a simple stats app in app inventor and it runs rather well on my droid 3 and rooted nook color both on ginger bread. However, it seems that when installed on honeycomb devices it slows to the point of crashing. There are a bunch of buttons that have to be drawn which causes a slight delay when starting on the aforementioned devices but nothing intolerable. Is this a common problem with honeycomb and apps made on ai or is there an easy solution to fixing this problem?
Also is there a way to exclude devices running honeycomb from seeing the app in market. I use app to market to sign and publish the app so I can set a min sdk version, but don't know how to exclude or set a max.
any help would be great thanks.

Yes you can.
But you have to make 2 versions.
One with maxsdkversion = 10 and the other one with minsdkversion = 14.
This would exclude all devices with honeycomb 3.x
