Official BBC News APK Wanted

BBC just released their official News app for Android, but it's not available for US in the Market.
Can someone [probably in the UK] share the APK???

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/24917729/bbcnews.apk

Is there a way to get this to work in the USA?

Yeah mine just says "Application not installed" on my HD2 running gingerbread.
Edit: With market enabler I was able to change my country ID to a UK one and eventually the market website recognized my phone as elligible. I was able to install it from my PC just now.
Double edit: The live stream portion of the app still doesn't work - it says "not available in your area" but the text news stories work.

They just released it? I've had this app for the past 6 months...I live in Canada, not sure if that matters?

I'd never thought of using Market Enabler for stuff like this. Very nice. Thanks for the tip.
I ended up changing it to O2, number 23410. Installed without a hitch (or reboot).

I was pretty surprised a refresh of my browser did the trick - pretty neat indeed. That's the same code I used as well .

Not sure why the apk in the Dropbox link (633kb) didn't work, but here's the copy from my phone (591kb):

Thanks, it works
Edit: Dammit, Live news and other videos doesn't work

No scrolling widget

Same here, but yours worked for me on my Atrix and Xoom Much appreciated.
Now, BBC just needs to give some real Honeycomb love.

It works. First time mine phone says "Application not installed" and second time the application was installed without any problems. Link to the livestream is missing unfortunately . Thanks for the APK File. Looks like a great app. I would consider about moving to the UK. lol.

As others have said, no live stream, but it works well otherwise.

any ideas how to make it landscape?

Google Now - wake up word (hotword)

Hi.
Does the hotword "Google" work for you in the newest stock OTA for Google Now? For me it does not... Is there a way to enable it?

Ok - I think you misundestood me. Google Now works fine for me, with pictures and everything. Only the hotword search does not work for me. (So you can use it hands free, only say e.g. "google, who is the president of united states?", without touching the screen and/or buttons)

It was working on AOSP roms but not on OTA so probably CM10 will have everything working.

And you are on stock OTA? (rooted?)

Same issue.
I have OTA Jelly Bean on my Nexus S.
Voice Search works fine with the exception of the hotword.
So when I say "Google" on the Google Now screen nothing happens.

my bro is on stock rom unrooted and my phone is on adams jb

I'm pretty sure this hot word feature was removed due to Apple's lawsuit, too similar in functionality to Siri.

I know you're talking about the OTA update, and I'm running hp420's rom on my NS4G, so there are likely differences, but when you open up Google Now, what does the search bar say? Does it just say "Search" or does it say (as mine does) "Search, or say Google"??

Yeah, I had it in the first 4.1 builds, then once the official 4.1.1's started appearing it was gone. This was after the incident where they had to stop selling Galaxy Nexii for a week. It looks like that feature was dumped to get the injunction lifted.

AHHHH that explains it. Thought I was going crazy. :laugh:

I'm sure you could flash an older version of Google Now taken from one of the ROMs where it is functional.

Hmm, I thought the lawsuit with Siri is regarding the result of the search, nothing to do with how the search is triggered right? There's no like "siri" hotword or something.
However, I don't really get the purpose of this hotword, as I will still need to unlock the phone and press the Search button anyway, might as well just press the "mic" icon on the top right at the google search "widget"?

That's my best guess on the issue, it makes sense. It appears that this as the only thing that changed for the official 4.1.1 release. Or maybe google deemed it not worthy of the Nexus S, like Face Unlock... Wonder if Nexus 7 and Galaxy Nexus might still have this feature.

How come when I search our doesn't show up like in the video and directs me to browser searches?
Sent from my Nexus S

To have results like in the video you have to change Google Now language to English US and force searching on google.com (in google now settings).
The hotword is only a "cool" feature, with practically no use (unless it would work globally, not only with the google now screen) but I would like to test it out

[Q] Random Device showed up in Google play

Hello Everyone!
So today I went online to the google play store to download an app, and noticed there was a random device (Samsung GT-I9300) showing up in the drop down menu. I went to device manager and it says it was registered 4 days ago with T-Mobile. There are a number of issues with this:
1) I'm on Telus
2) I don't own a Samsung GT-I9300.. I only own an htc one and nexus 7.
Both my htc one and nexus 7 show up in the list just fine, but there is still this random phone connected to my account. Should I be concerned? And if so, what should I do? Is there a way to remove it, not just hide it?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Did you edit your build.prop to try and change which device the Play Store thinks you have?

Then unless you've given access to someone knowingly, it would be a good idea to change your password.
I suppose you can contact Google after doing that and ask for more information.

This recently happened to me and freaked me out too. Until I did a bit of research and backtracked my timeline a bit. Turns out it was Bluestacks on windows. So if you recently installed and logged into your google account on the bluestacks player, this is the device that will be added.
I hope that helps any other future googlers

It doesn't work on the Samsung S6 Edge. Tinder gets stuck on the finding people near you page. It works with Bumble, though!

It should be good, you can double check it is working correctly by going to Google Maps for example, Tinder sometimes has problems finding people in some places (maybe server related) or you may have changed your location too often, so give Tinder some time and it should work (if there are actually any people in that place).
Thanks!

Hi, the app looks really good but I tried it with Tinder and didn't work, even downgrading to many previous versions

Hey, really trying to reproduce this but it works fine for me on old or the newest Tinder version on Android 4.4.4
Which Android version are you using?
Maybe give Tinder some time to get your new location? If you check Google Maps and see your location has changed then the app works correctly and Tinder may just be slow sometimes.
Thanks!

Hi, so I actually gave to Tinder some time and it worked with the 4.4.4 version, update released on December 2015 (pretty old) and it worked.
You say that even more recent versions work for you? I really tried them all, sometimes they worded but too many no, till going back to this 4.4.4.

So I played around with the newest Tinder version and it did seem to be stuck on finding people and it didn't update to my new location, but then I tried to log out and log back in and it worked then. Not quite sure what happens, maybe it just needs more time, either way - logging out and logging back in seems to be the quickest way to make it update your location and show you people.

Actuallly that's the only thing I didn't try :good:
Just confused about one thing, everytime I was trying an older version, I was obviously doing an unistall and a clean install, that means a log off and log on... isn't the same?
I'll try that too anyways, if it won't be handy enough I'll keep this superold but still perfectly working version

That's right, but it seems the older versions work without the log out and log in thing right away.

Devices?

Change your GPS location using this simple app. Free, no ads.
Will also keep working if you reboot your phone. To turn it off just click on the Stop button.
This tool is useful for apps like Tinder where you can change your location and explore new places.
You will need to enable mock locations on your phone from Developer options for the app to work. To enable Developer options go to Settings - About and tap Build number 7 times.
Works in Android 6 as well.

Can anyone provide a method that still works for the most recent Tinder versions? I'm using an old version with the Fake GPS app from Lexa, because the newer version somehow figure out where I actually am, desire using the same process.

Android Auto support

Hi guys! Just got my Mi Note 10 ? all is great except Android Auto is not working for me. As soon as i plug my phone to USB there is a message on car screen that the phone is not responding. Do i need to enable something or is it not supported? Please help.
My car is a 2018 KIA...
Thanks in advance!

I have read on several websites that the problem is with the dual applications.
in this web they detail how to solve it.

Oh thanks for the post! I also noticed that Android auto app was missing in my google store. I had to sideload it... Will try today if it works.

It doesn't work with Dual Apps. You can replace Dual Apps with DualSpace from Play Store though and it works.
