[Q] Apps are removed from Market???

Did anyone notice the apps Shazam and Where are gone from Market downloads? Those are the best free apps out there and it is completely gone. I feel so lost now.

Just search google for the apk and sideload it...
Edit, Shazam is back not sure whats going on with Where.
Edit2, Where? must not be available on Rogers either. I use Poynt. It's just as useful to me.

WHERE isn't available from an AT&T connection, as they have their own WHERE on their Android phones.
How it's filtered I don't know.

thanks guys. I have t-mobile but Shazam and Where is still missing from Market. It must be a carrier thing but I thought we all share the same android Market. I even tried a search for Poynt and that wasn't in Market either. I do have the apk for Shazam and I tried to install it but It failed (the same install worked last time). So I think these two great apps are gone for good from T-mobile.

I can find Shazam here in the UK.

try sound hound. blows shazaam out the water

I just checked my market (Motorola Droid running CM v6.0.0) and both Where and Shazam both show up. So it must be a carrier thing, not an Android Market thing.

Such a shame but thanks for recommending Sound Hound. It works great. One down and one to go.

I'm pretty sure you can get poynt from the website (but it just may email you a link to the market I'm not sure).
http://poynt.com/android.html

yes, it's just a link to the market and it's not available off the market. But thanks anyways.

Have you tried the market enabler? I was told something about changing regions but I've never installed it. Might be worth a try if you have a free minute.

nope no different. anyone know of an app that will replace "Where"?

Every phone "shares the same Market" as you said, but we're not allowed to walk down the same aisles. Developers can filter their app to not be visible by certain carriers or in certain countries, so you may not see it on T-Mobile but somebody on Verizon might.
As for Where, there are a million of those location awareness apps that can replace it. They may not be as good or to your preference, but Poynt, Yelp, Geodelic, etc. might do the core features.

IMO, Google Places and GasBuddy replaces WHERE. If you really want the food etc type stuff, add Yelp too.
Or download the WHERE apk I suppose. It's around.

I have a nexus one running cm6 on T-Mobile USA and both of the apps show up on the market just did a quick search to make sure

The PayPal Mobile app disappeared for me from Verizon's market after I upgraded my Droid X to 2.2. Apparently it's still visible to 2.1 users, presumably since Verizon has been so slow about officially pushing out Froyo. I finally tracked down the APK and all is well.
The geographic/version limitations of the market are silly in the 'big picture' but I guess they make sense from a business standpoint for the carriers and everyone else getting a piece of the pie

I have the same specs as well but it still isn't visible in market. So I guess it's area specific? I'll give those other apps a try. Thanks guys. It's just more convenient when you have just one app that can complete multiple functions instead of having two or three apps.

Where did you find the PayPal apk? I've been trying to find it and get it from PayPal for quite some time now...
EDIT: Never mind. I was able to find the apk from Android Freeware.

They replaced Shazam for Shazam Encore now, so now its no longer unlimited tagging its replaced to 5 tags a month now. You have to buy it to get ad free and also get it unlimited tags

Can't find some apps in the market WTF?

I can't find Quadrant, clockQ and some other apps. Does anyone else have this issue, it's like I don't have full market. I am on the stock rom, with no mods at all.

I just did a search for quadrant on my phone as well and it doesn't show up for me either. Weird. I'm also running stock.

Verizon is clueless of course, so I don't know whats going on.

You could try MarketAccess, but that would require rooting.

all show up for me when i search for them in market. Maybe try connecting to wifi and search, herd that makes it so apps like pda net and wireless tether show up again even though verizon requested they be removed

But I don't understand why I'd need to do that. All the demo phones at the Verizon store had these apps.

idk whats up with the TB market, i'm seeing wireless tether and pdanet on the market, but not some normal benchmark apps i usually use. Also on a side note, why would you not root?

Ok so Myverizon I guess does not support the Tbolt yet, that is what Verizon said. But I still can't find quadrant or linpack. She looked in her android market online and said she seen them and she said she wasn't signed in. I looked at my Android online market also, while also not being signed in, and I didn't show linpack or quadrant. I wonder if something is going on with the market. I have not seen anything anywhere to say there is though. How many others can not see these apps?

Just checked and neither Quadrant or Limpack show up in the Market. Strange. Fortunately, I downloaded Quadrant some time ago.

YA, I can't find that any many other apps either. Just updated to MR2. Are we sure that these issues aren't directly connected to the MR2 update?
I definitely want my MLB at Bat app back!

I can't find pulse reader also...only after mr2 update
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App

has anyone thought that like other previous leaks not all apps are available right away as its technically a different version? I recommend contacting the dev to make sure they publish to MR2 if thats what your on an cant see some apps, also ive noticed on MR2 even the marketplace is in the old style.

Market Issues
The market looks at your your type of phone, OS version and carrier, before showing you a list of apps. One of two things can be happening, the programs you cant find are being worked for your combination of OS and device, or the Market servers being updated and the lists used for device/OS combos are being ignored. Either way give it a little while and things should show back up.
Verizon is adapting to this method of matching so they wont hear anymore complaints of "Hey it let me download the app, but it doesnt work!"

I had a friend over the other day and I thought I'd take a dump on his Droid X with quadrant. Nowhere to be found. I'm in CM7 so I thought it could be my build.prop. He signed into the web-based market and pulled it right up. I did the same and couldn't find it. Maybe the bolt has trouble identifying itself with the market. I pulled it from an old backup so here ya go.

its showing up on gingeritis 1.0 final.

All mentioned apps are showing here on two(2) Thunderbolts - one rooted running the latest MR2 radio with Bamf sense3 preview 4, and also on the wifes stock Thunderbolt.
Not sure if it would help, but have you tried going under settings-manage applications and clearing the cache under the market app?
If nothing else, try this link: http://www.appbrain.com/search?q=quadrant
Hope that helps.

Google Voice Honeycomb Support

No, this isn't the same as every other thread asking about Google Voice support for Honeycomb tablets. This is more of an update on the matter. Today, Google Voice was updated and I side-loaded the Market version onto my tablet. I haven't updated the version on my tablet in a while, so maybe this isn't anything too too new. Instead of being the normal Phone UI, but bigger, now, it seems that Google has implemented a Honeycomb specific UI. I've attached a couple of screenshots of what the new Market Version of Google Voice looks like on my Transformer.
It's starting to look pretty sexy.
This next part, take with a grain of salt. Earlier, while I was updating Google Voice from the Market on my phone, I swear the "What's New" section mentioned a bunch of new features that aren't listed there now when I go back. Specifically, the features that were listed and are now removed were related to MMS, and were marked as "NEW". I'm assuming that these features will be added soon in an upcoming release.

I've noticed this as well. Have not seen anything with mms yet but that would be nice.

Yea, I actually tried MMS'ing myself just to see if maybe it was released, but they didn't want to publicize it yet, and it didn't come through. So, I'm just hoping it'll come soon in an upcoming release. That, or I was imagining the whole thing.
They also seem to have finally enabled retrieving texts / voice mails via background data as well, so there should be a lot less of a lag between the time a text / voice mail comes in and the time you know about it on your tablet. And, there's a new Honeycomb-specific Google Voice widget

can you upload the apk for your GV on HC so I can load it to my XOOM?

The widget is nice too. It's just like the Gmail widget.
Here's a link to the app for anyone who wants to try it.

The download won't install, I think this may be the DL for phones which are NOT compatible with Honeycomb although there are rumors of Honeycomb support. I tried the DL from my EVO - it appears to be the same package and posts the alert after attempting to install it.
I just thught I'd share the results I got when I tried the attachment and the mobile apk. Of course I APOLOGIZE IN ADVANCE if I have erroneous information!

I had to uninstall my previous version before I could install the new version.

For all of you saying the download isn't working, all you have to do is install it on your android phone, pull it, and push it to your tablet and install it there. There hasn't been any "tinkering" or "hacking" done to this apk, it's simply the Google Voice Market Version. It's the same apk for phones as it is for tablets
If you're having trouble, and you already had Google Voice installed, try uninstalling your previous version. I was using one of the old "hacked" versions and needed to uninstall it before it let me install the newer Market Version

I haven't installed this on the TF, but looking at the permissions list on the phone it can "edit SMS or MMS, read SMS or MMS, receive SMS." Was all that about MMS in there before? Never really looked. Still waiting for "receive MMS," heh ...

Please forgive me before I make this statement - most people posting pix of their "LOVED ONES" ... in this case those baXOOMba's - are either gloating about what they have and we don't or are simply looking for a reaction and/or comment about that squeezbox and 'dem gorgeous Tata's!
I will do nothing of the sort ... except dream about Google Voice instead of your bodacious avatar!
I just think your in the wrong forum, kindly expect some discussion about them baXOOMba's, We're Transformers in here kind sir. Just sayin'

In other news, U mad bro?

There's another update today, GV 0.4.2.36.
The app itself is NOW available in the market for the TF, no more side loading

I try and try and can't find GV in the market on my Transformer at all! I've been using a modded version of it since I got my TF back in May and it's in need of an update badly!
Can you post link to it please, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

Amazon App Store (unable to log in)

I've installed the Amazon App Store app, and it will not accept my email and password. I know that they're correct, but the app continues to say invalid.
Does anyone have this app working properly?

I have had no problems signing in multiple times (after changing ROMs). Uninstall the app and reinstall or, goto Amazon's site and get a text sent with a link to download the app (again) and try installing that one.

Go to the Amazon website and delete all previous devices. As mentioned above you probably signed into it on too many devices.

Same here. Thought it was ICS too. Been looking for an answer to this issue for my GT-N7000 and looked all over the forums there but could find any help. Had way too many devices registered. So i deregistered them, dowloaded the app and installed it again. Had no problems signing in after that.

[Q] Galaxy Essentials

Hey everyone! So I don't know if I crazy or just blind but how do yoy find all of the downloaded samsung apps in the galaxy essentials app. It popped up and said I had 5 updates but when I went there it just brought me to the home page and I am having to hunt for the apps I have downloaded to update them. Is there not a My Apps page like the playstore? Someone please tell me what I'm missing! Thanks!
Oh and I'm on the Verizon variant of the note edge.

You mean the Galaxy Apps store? They're under purchases.

Weird thing is I don't have an option to see purchases. Where do you view purchases?

Here is what the menu loos like.

you have to sign in first after that you can find the purchase

I am signed in. You can see my email address that I blocked out. I have tried singing out then back in again and still won't show purchases. I even bought a damn app and still nothing. What the hell.....

Really strange! !!
In my opinion clear data and cash in app manager

Are you rooted?
If yes, try making a nandroid, resetting, and seeing if the store shows the option then?
Which note edge model are you on?
Or perhaps a less extreme option, wipe data for Galaxy Apps in Titanium? or just from settings if you don't have Titanium.

I have run through app manager and have no clue what the actually name of the app is. I cleared the widget which clearly wasn't it.
I'm not rooted as I am on Verizon but I think I'm going to do a factory wipe if I can't get this work. Thanks for everyone's assistance.

Flow this stractuer

That confirmed the main issue. I don't have that app. I only have galaxy essentials from the menu button under the app drawer. Can anyone pull that galaxy app apk and post it to see if I can install it. I have been unable to find it anywhere on samsung website.

It's not in my app drawer or in my app manager.

Search in all app if you don't have it in there something wrong with your Rom!

I'd have to agree. If you don't have that app, there's something SERIOUSLY messed up with your rom.
I attached the apk I pulled from my sprint phone. See if it works. It's supposed to be a system app so I'm not sure how that'll work . . .
(Sorry for the delay. My upload speeds are TERRIBLE (like 42KBps or so))

So after screwing around with this most of the day I eventually reformatted and started from scratch with no success. I read over on a Verizon note 4 that some of them didn't have the galaxy apps on their phone either. Can anyone with a Verizon Edge chime in to see if you have the galaxy app please.
Oh and thanks for everyone helping out and posting. I appreciate the help.

Did the APK from the Sprint Edge work at all?

I tried it but it comes back and just saying not installed. I even searched for it on samsungs website like another note 4 owner recommended using apps.samsung.com but apparently that site refers you to the new s6 so not even that will work. So damn weird. Everything else works fine and I can even update the apps from the essential widget. Thanks again for posting the apk.

Ugh. I'd say your best option would be to root, but then that's not an option for Verizon . . . You could take it to the shop and see what they say about it. There's no reason to NOT have the Galaxy App store. And if Verizon's removing it on purpose, that's ridiculous.

And if you think apk for international model could be useful let me know
