Hey all, downloaded an app from the amazon app store, it downloaded but I didn't install it. Where do I go on the phone to find it? I've already looked in the downloads file, the only thing in there is the original app store apk.

Should have the option Install in the actual Amazon app under your apps. (Menu Button>My Apps.)
If you closed out of it before installing the app, they're downloaded temporarily into /sdcard/Android/data/com.amazon.venezia/cache. Not sure how long they stay there though.
Fortune, they option isn't there. The only file there says amazon Kindle, nothing else pertaining to amazon.

Not even settings or anything...? Weird. I have 6 settings when I press the menu button and My Apps is on the bottom left. You have the most recent version of the Amazon app?
I don't think it keeps them there very long to conserve space. When I donwloaded one to test, I checked to see where it saved and it's since disappeared.
Wierd. Can't find it. Even if I go back to the amazon app and try to redowmload it, it doesn't give me the option. Just says open not download.

Same thing here. Go to settings >applications>manage apps>all tab>market. Go here then choose market and clear its cache and data. After I did that it updated and worked fine.

I've got the new market (I think -- curvy top graphic with the featured apps in a 3D scroll, is that what you mean by "new market"?). What bugs me, though, is that the "My Apps" button from my Nexus One has been replaced by a "T-Mobile" button, and I have to use the menu to get to the "My Apps" listing. Is there any way to fix that (although I recognize from T-Mobile's perspective that it's not "broken")?
I like the old market UI better

Doing this from wifi? Cause you can only download from wifi.

And restarting the phone doesn't help? Or using task manager to close media hub.

Probably have to do like on the Cappy, need astro file manager go to settings and check the box next to allow download from web browser or something like that...

I had the same thing happen to me and i just hit the pause button and then resumed it and kept doing that until i saw it actually start the download.
use the help
I selected help in the app and it said due to some restrictions, some of the movies are not available all the time, (they said it smoother than that), I tried again the next day and they downloaded.
so just wait and try again and it will work.
Amazons free app for today is watch dog full version. For those of you who like to keep an eye out for rouge apps. I highly recommend you download it.

Great catch, Mud! I've been using the Lite version for awhile and I've been forgetting to check out the Amazon free app of the day, so thanks for the heads up. Getting it now....

Of course I alread paid for it
<3 Amazon freebie paid apps!!
So far I've netted Plants vs. Zombies, Gaia GPS, Pac-man, Mahjong pro, and now watchdog!
Haha. Good call. I had a feeling a thread would show for this.
When I opened amazon and saw watchdog, I swear, the 'get app' button practically pushed itself.
It's days like this that make checking the daily free app of the day on amazon pay off.
Get it, people.
I look at amazon apps every day and I get the free ones even if I don't need them. Todays was a great find though

A little off topic but search appstore reminder in the forums and you'll find an app that will pop up a notification at a chosen time of what the free app is

It will have you add a payment option to your account, but the free apps are never charged to the card.
Once you've added the payment option, it won't ever ask for it again, unless you purchase a paid app.
It's Amazon's way of covering their rearends.

Yes. This is what discourages me from using Amazon App Store. So I turn on 1 click, do the purchase, and turn it back off right away. Amazon does not refund. So very high chance of accidental purchases that would not be refunded.
When I first installed the Amazon app store, I download an always free app. I didn't like it, so I uninstalled it. Now it is always in my apps list with the option to install it. Does anyone know how I can remove it? I tried searching for an answer but can't find one.

Is there a way to download without installing it?
I trust you guys and want to download it, but I really don't want to install it until I understand what it is and how to use it. I haven't figured out how to download apps without installing them yet.

Amazon works differently, while market installs apps when you click Ok, amazon downloads the app and then asks for install... You can just cancel it.
Or if you are scared then install and remove immediately after that using easy uninstaller app.

If I download the app and hit cancel, would I need to navigate to it with a file explorer like Astro and click to install it? Or, will canceling cause the app not to be saved? How is Easy Uninstaller different from the stock uninstaller, other than how you can uninstall more than one app at a time?

There really is no reason to post a comment like this, because what it says is... you don't trust us.
Fine, I'm not hurt. Really, I'm not.
You don't have to trust anyone here. But you sure seem to when receiving other advice in the numerous threads you've posted asking for our help. Now you're not so sure... Lol
Just go read about it on the market. Check how many times watchdog lite has been downloaded, and read the reviews people have posted on its market page.
And then make your own informed decision.
Just curious, does the new Market seem a lot faster for you guys too?

Just download and install. No root needed either. Seems much better. Also looks better on my Tab than the older version.
Nice. Can't wait to check it out later.

How do I install this? Should I manually push the apk with root explorer for it to work? I tried regular install but it doesn't install.
Update: I manually pushed it with root explorer and it worked. Thx for the tip.

I would push/replace, clear dalvik and reboot.
I just installed like any other apk... No problem
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
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.
I hope this fixes the "insufficient space" bug on our phones.
Noticeably faster for me.

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.

My bad go back and see my previous posting, I didn't see it on the market when I looked last week. I just checked again and your right, it is still there. I'm not at my laptop now. Either need to have a mod delete my post or I'll do it tonight when I'm on the computer again.

When I go to the playstore and try to install the Amazon app, it says that the app is not compatible with the ROM, any idea?
No one else has this problem? Just to add, I am on Stock Cyanogen 38R with unlocked bootlader and rooted. And I am based in India so India Play Store.
Are you talking about the Amazon App Store app? I've been running it on this device since day one, but I sideloaded it.

This happened to me when I changed the DPI. Happens with some apps. If this is the case with you, then try setting back to stock DPI which is 480. You can then change it back after you've installed it and it should still run fine.

Is this a separate apk? Wondering why it is not working from the Google Play store, any one else facing this issue?
I am receiving similar errors but with all Amazon apps except the amazon app that allows you to look at your orders and search amazon.com. The app store, music app and the cloud drive photo storage app all crash as soon as I try to sign in. Im running stock 38R as well and I had the same problem prior to updating to 38R. On the Oneplus Forums it seems lots of people have been having problems with Amazon apps, but no one has had any clue as to why or how to fix it. Hoping someone over here can shed some light on the subject!
