[Q] Can't install Beautiful Widgets on Nexus S [solved]

Hi guys,
I've managed to install many applications on my Nexus S, however I just can't install Beautiful Widgets on it at all. Does anyone know if this screenshot attached can help - or can anyone point me in the right direction?

I've emailed the developers, and they say that Beautiful Widgets is indeed compatible with the Nexus S, and they develop on the Nexus S all the time.
So I don't know if it is my Google Apps account or something else that is making this difficult?!
Thanks guys

Did you try buying it from the Market app on your phone rather than the website?
As a last resort, you can download the app market enabler and spoof it as T-Mobile USA and buy Beautiful Widgets

It definitely works on the NS but I wish I hadn't bothered as it seems really pixaly.

I've had no problems with it on mine. I use the Beautiful Home Smaller Weather widget on both my home screen and lock screen. It's pretty terrific. You might have issues with the location function, but if you do, you just have to clear the caches in any apps that use location (when I first got it, it was setting to my old apartment. I had to wipe data in BW and Maps, and it's been fine).

The OP isn't asking if the widget works on the NS or not. The problem the OP is having is buying the app from the website, unsure if he can buy it within the market app.

Thanks for the advice.
I can't actually find the Beautiful Widgets app in the Market app on my phone.
Even if I go to the developer's website and scan the QR code, the Market app tells me that there are no search results.
Perhaps then it is a location (South Africa) problem, and I will need to spoof it as T-Mobile USA and buy Beautiful Widgets.
I've just never rooted my phone, and if this is the case, I will need to do some more reading up on how to backup, root, recover, etc before I go any further!
Thanks for the help!
P.S. Going to try purchase it with AndroidPit website ... will revert!

Hi Guys,
It was definitely a location type problem between my phone and Google, or else a problem with Google Checkout and my credit card?
Perhaps I can't purchase any app through the Google Marketplace? I'll have to check that out further.
At any rate, I purchased the BW app through AndroidPIT and BW works perfectly!

Are you on 2.3.3 GRI54? Previously I flashed the Axura ROM and I can see almost all apps but not Fifa 10, when I go to market.android.com, it says the same thing, the app is not compatible with my phone. The developer fixed it by using back the signature GRI40 for the ROM.

The OP already fixed the problem, it was a problem with his location.
No need to respond to this thread anymore.

Are you just posting obvious apps to increase your posts? Cause most of the apps you're posting are well known.
No offense if you aren't.

they might be well known to you and a few others, but that fact I have not seen it in the inc forums tells me its not THAT well known, or else it would have been posted here already.

I think a greater reason you don't see more posted is because root users have wireless tether or the hacked hotspot so there is no need for PDANet (unless you need it wired).

Hacked hotspot ftw.

Well, to be honest I appreciate the post.
I remember when I was waiting and waiting for root on this phone, so I had to use this app for a data connection in my apartment before I got internet access.
I had forgotten all about it until you posted this up. Though I wouldn't use the tethering feature, I have my phone plugged into my computer whenever I'm on my computer, and it would be way more convenient to just type in on the screen than moving my hand from my keyboard to pick up the phone, power button, unlock, read text message, click on text input space, and then type onscreen.
So thank you

Silly iPhones, Android has native hotspot and USB tethering...HAHA no need for extra apps....GO TAKE A LAP SIR

New at&t Inspire can not root
I have most of my new Inspire software loaded. It is running 2.2.1 and I can not root it. I have been a WM guy for years and know UNIX pretty well. I used SuperOneClick v1.9.1 several time and it does root it until I boot the device.
It loads the icon then when it asks me to reboot phone all the rooting goes away. I am hoping to not have to purchase PDA.net as by last option.
I am not even sure it will work with 2.2.1.
Please help !!!

I think you need the AT&T Inspire forum, not the Verizon Droid Incredible forum. Please post your question here for better responses: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1015

NFC apps

Anyone now some good NFC apps for the one x?
I cant seem to find the androidbeam.apk file either.
This device has NFC, but what can i do with it??

Afaik, you can't do anything with it. At least not with the AT&T version. It's not enabled yet.
Sent from my HTC One X

not even the android beam feature enable in the settings?
on well,
someone got it working on the samsung note from ATT (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1545751&highlight=nfc), so im sure they will figure it out on this one. AT&T really knows how to make a phone better.

NFC on the phone is kinda cool. My wife and I both bought HTC One Xs, and I can send her web pages/apps/etc via NFC.

Ah, I was thinking about the wallet apps. Apparently they're waiting to develop a competing product. Beam works I think.

Right. Wallet is galaxy nexus only, for now.

I use NFC Task Manager.
I can set my phone to automatically manage Bluetooth for my trip to work:
I also have my kitchen set up to set easy timers:

mind. blown.
Wow. I am about to order like 500 of these things and set what I can come up with this definitely sounds like a very fun summer project. Cannot wait to get started.

I did see that you can use the NFC with PayPal to request $$ but that's about it.

Which specific tags have you guys bought. I noticed on some of the sites that there are some tags that may not be compatible with our NFC frequencies.

AutomateIt
Hi,
The latest version of AutomateIt (released today) also supports NFC.

[Q] New to One s And Android....pls help!

Hello I just got a One S yesterday. my old phone is a HTC HD2
I found the PDF of the users guide for this phone but as I am reading, I dont see the options they are talking about on my phone.
for example.....if you hit the apps button from the home screen you are "supposed" to be able to find something called "show Me" and "transfer" but I dont find this stuff.
my main issue right now is trying to find a way to transfer my contacts from my old phone to the new one. and no my contacts are not linked to google or anything else.
thanks for any help or comments,
Nicole

I don't undrstand why ud get such a nice phone and have to read the user guide loool u had the hd2 wats wrong with u lool anyway apps are organised alphabetically transfer will be on last page swipe right and there is also a search function u can use top right corner on all apps
I can't remember seeing show me but it must be there I've removed alot of stuff because of leedroid Rom what do you want to do ill help u out
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium

thats the odd thing, from what I see neither of those exist on the phone. not on the app list and not when I search for them.

Should be ;/ check your boatloader are u unlocked ? Where did u get It from? When u set up phone the last step is transfer why didn't u do It?
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium

I got the phone from a T-Mobile store. The guy there started up the phone to make sure it was working. I think I am stuck manually entering everyone. Now I am also stuck with all my facebook people synced on here by accident. Searched the forum and all ways to fix this don't seem to work either. Darn it. Lol. Nothing seems to be going good for me

Dowload ruu and flash it will put u exactly how it should be

The How To seems to download pdf instructions (didn't try), Transfer is a phone to phone sync.
Bell (Canada) doesn't seem to **** around with phones too much, the only thing I can tell they install is the "Mobile TV" app (maybe sympatico.ca too, I don't have a sympatico e-mail with them), which is included in my monthly plan (10 hours a month, does not add to data). HBO is 5$. It has a couple dozen channels for free (could watch the stanley cup live on it).
I can't remember anything pre-installed on my Legend when I got it either.

That's odd. So those exist on some of the one.s phones but not all. I definitely don't see them on mine
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using XDA

I guess T-Mo removed those apps and didn't remove it from the user's guide.

I still have transfer on LeeDroid custom rom
Maybe someone smarter than me can get OP the app
But, there are some transfer apps in Play Store
I did see a setting somewhere when I set up accounts not to sync Facebook etc--forget where--

Any other Canadians annoyed that Wallet still doesn't work?

I placed an order on Nov 22nd with debit and it worked fine. I placed another one on Nov 26th with creditcard and that one went through no problems as well. What issues are you facing? Have you tried calling them? I'm from London, ON in case that helps.

Oh! That's what you meant. Man, I was looking forward to trying that out when my phone got here. But I think I read somewhere on xda that it should work here for some merchants... Have you personally tried it?

I had to sideload the Wallet app as it seems like Canadian Nexus 5s do not have the Wallet app installed. I received a message once logging in saying that Google Wallet is not supported in my country.

wallet is offered on their .ca website and if you scroll down it even has the tap and pay advertised http://www.google.ca/wallet/shop-in-stores/
but the FAQ says its only available in the states at the moment... pity http://www.google.ca/wallet/faq.html#tab=faq-general

There's nothing you can do right now. Wallet actually is installed, it's just frozen (take a look at Titanium Backup). Even if you defrost it you get the error that it doesn't work in your region. I even tried revoking location permissions for Wallet. You can apparently enter a fake US address and get further and try adding cards but your payment will always be declined when you actually go pay. Just going to have to wait for Google or someone else to step up in Canada.
