[Q] SE X10 MINI cant install some apps?

I am trying to install the "LG TV REMOTE" app to my SE X10 Mini but I cannot see the app in the market on the handset and on the android market website I see the message "This app is incompatible with your phone."
I have had this issue with a few other apps but cant find out why this is so? Is it due to the small screen size or the version of android? The app should run on 2.1 which I have so i guess its the screen size. Does anybody have any workarounds?
I am thinking of upgrading shortly to the Xperia Mini which has a slightly bigger screen size of 3". Does anybody know if the app will work on that handset?
Thanks

Are you sure the app can run on your SE?
Just remember: it's LG's, there must be something special in hardwares of the LG phone to support the app.
Maybe it is needed IR Port ,Is there a your phone

[Q] Does anyone else not use "The Cloud"?

This is related to any phone or really any device, but does anyone else not really use cloud services? To me, it seems like a waste of time and money to stream gigs of music that I could just store on a microSD card, and if it can't fit on that microSD, then I don't need it - simple as that.

I apologize for that, didn't even think about that.
I tried google music, but you are right.
I didn't see any point in uploading all my music when i could just have put it on a sdcard.
There are usefull scenarios though:
- Giving multiple devices access to your music
- Managing it from a single site
Then again, do i wan't to trust a 3rd party with my music collection?
Bandwidth is a problem too for most users.
I do use dropbox though, regularly and extensively for files lecture files etc, but not for any music.

[Q] Help with Google play store!

So market changed to Google play store...fine, whatever.
Problem is I have 3 Gmail accounts on my phone yet Google play store is only showing two of them...so how in the hell do I add the third one so the apps I have under that account can be updated when necessary?!?
I did a search on Google and of course I find nothing.
Thanks!
Assuming a recent build (Gingerbread, ICS...) Settings\Accounts and Sync\Add Account.
Not on gingerbread. Samsung Epic 4G with midNIGHT Rom v 5.3.
When I go into settings I don't see an option to add an account for Google Play.
Now here's the rub...the account that doesn't show up on my phone...is the account I registered under on my laptop.
I'm am totally, completely and thoroughly stumped!
Is the account still showing in settings > accounts as a Google account? If it is then I suggest you contact them directly as it's obviously an issue.
Somehow the missing account was deleted from my phone.
Added it back. All is well.
Thanks all!

If not showing up on your phone (home screen\settings\Accounts and sync), I would try re-adding the account to the phone and see what happens. If not, as Archer suggests, contacting Google would be a good idea.
Edit: You solved it while I was posting.
I can no longer get into the Android market unless I agree to accept whatever Google's legal terms are for their 'Play' and 'Books' services. But I don't intend ever to use these. Google really is getting beyond the pale, presumably introducing this change on a day when they hope that attention will be focussed on whatever Apple are up to. I shall now be looking for alternate market places. Any pointers please?

Please don't purposely go off-topic just to boost your post count. At least the other thread where you copied and pasted this post was relevant!

Have you tried getting apps from slideme.org ?
It's like Google Play but includes non-Market apps also.

Go SMS Pro question (view more messages)

So if I want to view an older message, I have to keep clicking on "view more messages" above. Isn't there an option to view all messages without have to click that button each time? Or atleast make the increment longer?

As far as I know I don't think there is a way around this as I know of.....
It doesn't bother me one bit.....
there is a way around this
Search
I am not sure of how to increase the increment or remove it, but if you open the menu on the conversation list screen, you can hit search and search for the text you are looking for. If you are trying to go back and see old messages, you probably know what context you are looking for.
After the search, click the text that appears. It might take a second to jump to the location of that text. I have a conversation that I save all my messages for so it took a while to jump to it.
Hope this helps.

Any Jukebox apps for android?

Hello everyone. I want to make a jukebox for my house. What I planned on doing that would make it much easier then building a pc with touchscreen is to build a type of cabinet with an opening on the top so when we want to use it I could slide in my tablet with the screen now appearing in an opening in the front so we can then use it as a jukebox. The problem is, I cant find any type of Jukebox app. Maybe I just am not looking right or maybe they just dont exist. Im looking for something that will have a jukebox type interface with album art, track lists, and the ability to queue songs.
Does anyone know of an app like this? I really appreciate any help.
Have you tried TouchTunes?
It looks like that app is more for controlling an actual jukebox. Thanks for the suggestion though.
