[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.

Where's the music store?

My sensation is completely stock. For some reason I cannot access the new music store. I checked the Google Market and it appears somehow I may have an older version of the Google Market. Anyone else experiencing this?

From this article...
http://www.pcworld.com/article/244076/google_music_5_things_you_need_to_know.html
"An updated Android Market should be rolling out to your Android devices soon"

I can confirm that the market will automatically update to include the music store. I was on it last night and it updated for me. Before it updated I noticed there was block on the main market screen for Busta Rhymes so I clicked on it. I then started searching for music and the market agreement message popped up. I hit ok and now I have an option on the main market screen for music. Attached is a screenshot. Also, for those that can't seem to get the update, here is a link to the android police website with a link to download the latest market (3.3.11). Just install it like you would install any apk file.

My market updated when I was driving home from work lol. I downloaded two songs without an issue within minutes .

Anyone got the apk?

You know the name of the file and location I can get it?
EDIT: Nvm I got it....

Tmobile has also stated that Tmo customers will have an exclusive section in the market for free tracks. I haven't seen it yet, but have heard from others that have. Since yesterday Tmobile has said they are looking into the problem.

Spammer app

This is an app that I have created, simply named "Spammer". Not that I condone doing this a lot, but this app is able to send large amounts of spam to any phone number you choose. I am fairly new to android app development, so this app is still a work in progress. Feel free to test, and hit the thanks button if you enjoy the app.
Current features:
Ability to send SMS (Carrier and Google Voice)
Upcoming features:
Material Design (After Android L is released)
Github:
github.com/fw3254/Spammer
The apk file is located in there
TESTED USING NEXUS 5 AND MOTO G

You don't condone this, yet you wrote an app that does it... Get lost.

Probably tmobile or Comcast

Works as expected. Only hiccup is that i can browse my contacts, but not select one. I have to enter their number manually

The apk is in his git. Look at the op for the folder.

Android developers: destroying another's quiet ... rsrsrsrsrsrsrsrs

who is psyched for the upcoming google voice integration?

JUST UPDATED
Changelog:
-Google Voice integration
-Built with Android Studio
-Contacts button doesn't work (yet)
The apk is now in the root of the github link located in the OP
Feedback appreciated

Some feedback :
- can you add an option to spam the creator of the app?
- can you make it so it doesn't actually send out the messages but only tricks the user in thinking they were sent?

In the Themes section of S8 +,
(similar thread as yours)
Some members that had same issue,
cleared Bixby "cache" (Settings /Apps /Bixby... cache) Afterwards they managed to do update.
Good luck

Same problem here. Shows update available, click update, and says I have the latest version.

I updated but no voice options at all I think it was just the ui change

I was earlier checking for a app shortcut
with QuickShortcutMaker app and saw
Bixby voice etc all listed and installed
but not enabled. Obviously
missing some other.. software ?
See screenshots
i do believe we might still wait a few months for voice input.
Bixby, i mostly use, for easy access to my to email accounts.
Just press button and i can read my new emails.!
I am still on old Bixby version

Not sure if anyone else has noticed but if you are using the samsung keyboard and hit the voice button it appears to use bixby for dictation. Interesting....

Pardon, but I would like to know your theme, fonts and where this menu is. I like your set up.

Sorry to disappoint you, but it's not my device's theme!
Theme, icons, fonts (in screenshots) from 3rd party app QuickShortcutMaker (free Play store)
Maybe download, install
and the search for something similar.? (Reason is, you can always compare themes )
Good luck

Maybe this is update?

Stop update to Android 12.

Is there a way to stop the auto update to 12? I had to send mine to Nokia to get downgraded back to 11 cause for one thing, it killed the dual SIM capability. Then, i just hate the UI and refuse to pay for apps to fix the look. I have looked everywhere and all the guides say to go to a certain place and disable them, but that doesnt exist in Android ONE i guess. I dont really want to try a custom ROM cause im sure it wont support dual SIM either.

Find the OTA update app and do a adb edit to disable it. Package Disabler has a variant for model other than Samsung, that might work too.
On Samsung's they look like this, ws.dm is the prime offender...

Where do you find this?

I use this. For non-Samsung devices navigate towards the bottom of that page. You can contact them by email with a question too.

I would not recommend this sites app to anyone. I tried to buy it last night and 24hrs later, I still have no app to download. I found your post from a Google search. Email went unanswered.

Give them a business day or two... jeeesze. Do a charge back on the card if you must. I've been using them for over 3 years, no worries, as I am now.
