[REQUEST] Where.apk

Does anyone have the apk for the app called Where? It comes on the backflip and is available on the droid but I cant seem to find it in the market with my ATT N1 due to some kind of firmware issue. Any help is appreciated.

Hmm, weird. I can download it off the market on my N1 just fine.
Lemme know if that link the other gentleman provided doesn't work, ill try to up it to my DropBox.
google is aware of the problem. its only the att versions that are having issues seeing all of the apps in the market
Isn't ATT 'controlling' certain things about the market? Maybe that's why it's not showing on your ATT N1?
i think they may be because i read somewhere that if i put a t mobile sim in the phone i wouldnt have a problem. hell i dunno.
I don't have these issues with my N1 on ATT. *shrug*
having the same problem with ATT N1 missing Market apps. Attached is a newer version of Where app, 1.88, i think. 1.90 is newest, but can't grab. would appreciate if someone could UL the latest.
I emailed with Tech Support at Where. They said there was a contract issue with AT&T. Appears that if you want where, you have to pay AT&T each month and have one of the approved where handsets.
Could someone that has access to a newer version of Where 1.9 post either a download link or attach the file here in the forum.
We ATT folks would much appreciate it.
Thank you
Where 1.9.1

Thanks a bunch!!
Do you have a specfic source since I see you are on ATT as well?
Well, screw ATT. I was looking for an app like this just yesterday and nothing looked good so I decided to stick to google maps. Are there any other known apps that ATT is screwing us on?

Thank You Very Much! For Some Reason My Boost Mobile Motorola i1 can't access some of these apps on the Market. My assumptions it's because it runing on Android 1.5. Hopefully they will release an update soon considering 3.0 is rumored to be released soon.

Thanks. There is a new version out. Can you please share it too?
You guys really find the app that useful?
The only useful stuff I found it did, Google local search already does.
Any who, here is Where 1.9.6
Where is the only app I've seen that gives a decent listing of gas prices nearby, anyone have any better suggestions?
I'd be happy to take back the 5-6M of storage it takes up..... Yikes.
Zipcar
It is also the only zipcar app for android.
If you use AppBrain and the new fast web install they have, you can install it from the AppBrain website. It still won't show up in the market for updates, but you can probably get it updated the same way.

[Q] Video Maker ap

I just upgraded from Captivate to Skyrocket.
Seems OK so far, after one day.
One thing I noticed is missing the Video Maker app, which is available on Galaxy S ii.
Theoretically Skyrocket is also a GSii, so where /how can I find this app and install it on my new phone?
Thank you

That's a bummer. Guess there isn't one for the skyrocket. Maybe someone will post an apk for it, if it works.

I did go to http://www.samsungapps.com/ and nothing came out at my end.
Maybe you have a different address?
Thank you

Sorry but it seems you did not understand my question.
My phone , Skyrocket, did NOT came with the app installed, that's why I am looking for it.
I mean there is a samsungapps app on my device. thats how i found it. not via the website. none the less it wouldn't install for me. the app itself kinda sucks, very little in terms of content compared to the site. But still it seems to have the app you are looking for.

Yeah - I love the samsungs but for some reason they don't work as well as other phones on the Verizon network. If I only used a few hundred minutes per month, I might not notice however I spend about 2-3 thousand minutes per month on the phone so I'm VERY aware of when a phone has a radio issue.
im shocked i haven't seen anything posted about this update anywhere but this thread.

I believe he was being sarcastic because EVERY time something hits the news about our device twenty different people come here and start twenty different threads about the topic. So far this is the only one...so far.
Is this out yet or just coming... I run synergy and can't take ota updates.. Anyone have this pulled out yet

With every OTA the question is the same - could this possibly lock the bootloader again? This looks like it's just an updated gmail and play store apk, wonder why its 62MB in size.
is allshare cast enabled now under more settings?

It just says 'email' not 'Gmail'. We wouldn't get an update to Gmail from Verizon, we'd get it from the play store. Or the leaked one that's kicking around the forums.

The no SIM problem I wouldn't think would be a software issue considering it doesn't affect all the phones. There are many many people who do not have this issue. I'm actually pretty sure I read something a while ago that said the SIM cards they are making are crappy quality, therefor that could be the culprit. I dunno tho for sure.
I don't know about that. That is something I have been thinking about lately..... I have been having a problem with my phones service, I live in a strong 3g and 4g area, and after I rooted both of my GS3's they started dropping service left and right where before they hadn't. The more I have read about the no sim issue the more it sounds just like my service dropping problem just without the no sim message appearing for me. So I wonder if more of the phone have it than we think and we think the terrible service is because of the radios when in all actuality its the no sim error and it just doesn't pop up the no sim message..... yes I know Samsung radios are crap on Verizon but I have plenty more Samsung phones that have never had any service issue whatsoever, whereas this phone you have to hold you head a certain way with both your arms stretched out and your tongue touching your nose just to send a message.

You need a new sim card. Many people have had this problem. I'm not sure if the OTA has come out yet?
Running stock and it's not available for me yet
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
I'm running the HD, so this new HE must be like one build newer I would guess.
I wonder if people running HD will receive the OTA to HE, or just those running F2, G1 and G7.

[Request] NFC with screen unlocked

I recently got to play around with some NFC tags, and a big caveat I have with them is that the screen has to be unlocked for them to work. There are mods for every other version of the S3 except for Verizon's. They are located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1712024.
The OP of that thread said that he would make a mod for the Verizon version, but he hasn't been active since October.
Would anyone be kind enough to make this mod? This was a pretty popular thread, so I can imagine it would be be pretty popular on the Verizon forums as well.

Hmmm.
I'm able to pull my phone out of my pocket and touch a tag without having to unlock it. I just have to make sure the screen is awake.
I'm (obviously) rooted and I'm running CleanRom 5.5.1
I use this almost every morning when I get done work. I have a tag on my sun visor in my car. I pull my phone out, wake it, and touch the tag. It sends a text to my wife telling her I'm on my way home.
I like to see this also. Kind of defeats the purpose to have to unlock the phone, though I understand the reasoning behind it from a security standpoint.

Well stock ROMs i know don't have the ability to use NFC from the lock screen so that could be their issue. When I use Google wallet my phone just has to be awake not unlocked. Same with the tags. But I'm on synergy

I just tried this on stock rooted. It didn't work and I lost my NFC and S-Connect settings in the system menu. I *do* have Wallet installed, so that *may* have something to do with it. I will play some more and post back if I get different results.
I'm on Synergy ROM, and I actually have to unlock the phone (swipe the screen) for the tag to read. The AT&T apk used to work until the Jelly Bean update. Now, it doesn't.
thanks for the update! does anyone have an apk that works for jellybean?

yes I posted about this here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=32220217
So has anyone found a working MOD for a JB 4.1.2 ROM that does this?
I still haven't found anything for TW ROMs for the S3. I've been running Paranoid Android for a while now, and there is an option built-in that enables NFC with screen off. CM10.1 has the same option.
I just can't find anything for TouchWiz ROMs.

[Q] [QUESTION] Convert 920F to 920T

Hi guys,
I'm pretty new to all of this stuff, and when I had a motorola phone, I had seen threads about people switching the phone from an xt1092 to an xt1095. Is there anyway that something like that can be done with the S6? I'm getting the 920F tomorrow, and I know it works with t-mobile, from what I've managed to read about the bands available. Please let me know. Thanks!
Both phones are different. You won't be able to convert it. However, the 920F is the international version, the one with the most support. I would stick with it
