Where are you? If you desperately want it just install the .apk, it takes about 10 seconds to do.

I'm in the US another family member on the same contract ( xperia play ) even has it..

That's odd. Try downloading it from here.

Google for "latest playstore apk" Hand install it manual.
For me it worked well.

Im on ICS.. go figure..this doesnt really upset me due to the fact that im getting a new phone ( Droid DNA ) Wednesday!

I don't think it's worth it. The old one looks way more organised and simple. I won't even bother installing the new Store's .apk
Well that's my opinion, you may like it better

Mine just installed automatically when I connected to the wifi.

solution
You have to go to services and clean the cache on the market processes. I had to do that with my droid x a long time ago.

Sometimes it just takes a while. On my phone once, I cleared it and force stopped it several times and it didn't update until a couple hours later.

Am i the only one who thinks that 3.xx.xx looks better ?

No. I, too, think the new one looks hideous. Too much like it's trying to be iOS for my taste.

I believe the new one looks hideous, the old one is way better. But of course, we will get used to it in the future (do we have any other choice?).
Anyway, to answer the thread, it depends on the country you are in. Usually, they update per country (if it is available to you).

This has been known for a while .
I don't see this being a problem for very long especially on htc, considering that phones like the holiday will more then likely have international "brothers/sisters", that means there will be dev support worldwide working to break open a phones boot loader. I would assume the only reason it hasn't been done to the atrix, is because honestly the phone is a flop. Blur put a bad taste in everyones mouth and not alot of people want to mess with moto.
If you hit up other htc phone boards here on xda there are literally hundreds of developers working on htc phones. I have said it before where there is a will there is a way.
Atrix is no flop

Locked bootloaders do much harm to the phones' sales. I like the sense rom but the default stock one comes with a lot of bloat and poor battery performance. I flashed the dilligaf's V2 rom and my phone now flies. When the manufacturers cannot unleash the full potential of the phone, why the hell do they have to lock their bootloaders for?

HAHAHA! That's funny sh*t.
Anyways... If the manufacturers and Phone companies would actually leave the phones open, we wouldn't have this issue.
It wouldn't be too hard for them to do...build a recovery image right into the phone. If something screws up, they is a keypress sequence that would force install factory firmware. Bam...No more brick, and start over. I know I have reference the PSP in several other posts, but they did it right. Maybe the phone manufacturers should take a hint.
There is a PSP dev that goes by Dark_Alex... He created the "Despertar del Cementerio." This translates to "Wake the Dead." This was a service battery and memory stick combo that would literally UNBRICK your PSP. I actually have one, and have purposely killed the power during a firmware update to test it. And it works! Anyways, the point is...this is VERY possible with these phones, no one has done it yet tho.

Haha, I LOLed at work when I read this.
ATT seems to have something to do with this. If I hadn't been able to root my inspire I'd probably have returned it. Too much bloat. Bloated on a phone like that males it even worse (also I never liked MOTO)
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App
Well if its not rootable and cannot access recovery,then I don't bother. I was walking thru fryys when I saw the inspire and knew I had to get it. Trading my sgs vibrant+$150 for a new inspire sounded great to me. But I didn't think if the bootloader was unlocked or not. Luckily,it was. I got Lucky on this one

Wow....the op redefines idiot. Tries to root a device, fails, waits less than an hour for someone to tell him how to get out of it which he could easily find for himself by searching, then declares in a temper tantrum that he is returning the device (after voiding his warrenty already).
I hope he gets an ipad...they are made for one another.

Who says we need powerful GPUs? (OnLive available on android)

Yes I understand GPUs are important for other things. Thread title is a joke. But check this out...OnLive . Basically OnLive is going to try running their services to tablets (doing the game computing in the cloud). I am totally willing to try this! Imagine xbox/ps3 like games on your tablet or even your phone.
I tried it, it worked. I played Dirt 3 on my phone. The visual quality may not be the greatest though, might depend on the data speed/connection or something?
I noticed that too. It's like you're watching a video of a video

Their servers only support 720p atm is why it looks so odd but they did say 1080p was a future goal. Other than that this thing is pretty great.

I could only download it on my Xoom and not on my Nexus S so for ppl not able to download it this is a working apk.
Btw I'm in Belgium and can play pretty good on both my nexus S and Xoom over wifi but well like you can guess on the nexus S the screen is a bit to small

It's official...we are not getting ICS :(

http://www.technobloom.com/htc-thun...mation-on-android-ice-cream-sandwich/2220603/
Kinda figured this would happen. Now if HTC was a decent company they would still release their source...but we all know they wont.
Im not all expecting to see an official release but that site is about the most vague pile of crap ever. I cant help but doubt the validity of anything posted there.

I never really expected this to happen after observing all the work from the devs on it. ICS has always ran kinda wishy washy for me. I mean it works and all, but there are definitely some performance issues and bugs no matter which rom you use. Verizon nor HTC intends to release a shoddy product. It either has to work 100% or not at all. If ICS cant run as well as GB did, then it aint gonna happen.
I wish I had a dollar for all the false rumors that have been posted about ICS, I'd buy Verizon and have enough left over to keep me in booze and hookers for the rest of my life!
I think this is one more dollar in my stash....

If that were the case though, the thunderbolt would've ran well from launch day, which anyone who had one since then will say that it didn't. Originally the battery life was horrendous and had to be fixed by an OTA.

NO ICS
just called HTC ,,, and they told me , that we are not getting ics,,, htc thunderbolt is discontinued,,,, :crying:

			
				
We could call and email different reps at HTC and we would get a slew of different responses from them all. Stuff like this no one will know the correct answer as tech support as we all know is the last to know.
Sent from my ThunderBolt using Tapatalk 2
So let's see if I understand this... the OFFICIAL WORD from Verizon AND from HTC is that the Thunderbolt will or will not get ICS and will get it within the next two days or later than that or never.
Does that about cover it? <G>
Honestly, I don't see what all the flap is about? ICS doesn't offer anything I need or want other than (I HOPE!) a better kernel for the Devs to work with.
Meanwhile, NuSense works for me and the BAMF leak works for me if I want ICS and, if I want Gingerbread, Infected ROM works for me and Thunderstick BB works for me along with a bunch of other ROMs I've tried.
Was at Verizon today, Reps informed me there will be no ICS for our phones...Cant say I'm surprised...my upgrade is in January, not going to worry about it .. Can't believe they state we would get the upgrade, then renege ..
If Apple can upgrade their older model Iphones for several years , why can' t our Android phones do the same.. and no I'm not switching..

(Q) Coming from s2 skyrocket

Opening my own contract with AT&T. I've ALWAYS had a Samsung phone. And it recently started looking like every phone they released looked the same. I mean the s4/s3/note/note2 look exactly the same besides bigger/smaller dimensions.. Is this phone still worth getting?? Can it still hold its own. Is there more to it than I think when it comes to unlocking boot loader then flashing ROMs?? Should I just get the HTC one.. Or X+ even?? Please give me your opinion.. Thanks!

my expert advice would be to do some research.
I came over from a captivate and didn't have too many problems getting adjusted. There are loads of tutorials on what you'll need to do with root and bootloader so it's just a matter of reading and getting started. I'd honestly recommend getting a One though. I love my one X, but I can never recommend getting an older phone unless you can't afford / don't care about the newer models. I don't know about development for the One X+, but I'd take that over the One X just for the storage space.

Just get the one. Not because Samsung are terrible (they are not) but because it it something different. Its like going someplace to eat and getting the same thing. Try something new. Plus HTC makes phones to last (of course when you take care of them)
