That is so pathetic. Just another reason to hate that company.
Anyway...my friend just got an inspire and is new to android. I'm just helping with the phone (I have a verizon android phone) and realized that AT&T finds someway to screw with consumers again. So, is there a way to get around this and install non market apps?

You can use sideload wonder machine http://forum.androidcentral.com/android-sideload-wonder-machine/
Or root the phone and load a custom ROM that has non market apps enabled
the sideload wonder machine method is sipmple the only drawback is that the apps wont receive updates like they would from the market, if I'm not mistaken.
Also if I remember correctly if the app is to big for side load wonder machine, you can use adb push. There are always work arounds.

That's why it's such a sweet feeling when you uninstall their application through TiBu........
You can also consider rooting the device. I did mine with no issues at all. It's VERY easy, just time consuming. From start to finish, took me about 35 minutes. I already had EVERYTHING I needed to do this though, including the ROM I wanted.

I am interested to know what apps are good that aren't on the marketplace. I would like to find some other cool stuff I can put on this phone. I put swype on and that was fun to side load. Would like to do some other stuff. Inform me please.

You want good go to Amazon App store, in the past few days I got a full version of Shazam and then SoundHound. Both have full unlimited use with no expiration, also if you change rom's you can redownload them from your account for as long as you have the account. They give away a full paid app everyday on there.

Hi guys, just a heads up. Copilot gps navigation is free. You can download any country map for free BUT, there's always a BUT, full voice guided navigation costs you £19.99 in the UK. But hey, its for free. Might be of use to somebody.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alk.copilot.mapviewer&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5hbGsuY29waWxvdC5tYXB2aWV3ZXIiXQ..
HELL YESSS!!!!!!!
I bought the UK one on my iPhone for £19.99, and was pissed that when I switched to android im told I have to buy it again! , can happily live without voice as I use it on my motorcycle where I cant hear anything over the exhaust noise anyway!
Edit: still annoying its only 2D
i have just downloaded this but i get 3d view and turn by turn voice i havent paid is it a trial or something like that?

Im getting the same, I assumed it was because I had the UK and Ireland map purchases link to my account already, only time will tell i guess!
ok out of interest i deleted it then re downloaded it direct from gplay and as stated no 3d and no voice is the link higher up a cracked version?

I don't think so mate. Its from the Play Store so it should be completely legitimate. I think you must've just encountered a bug or something that got you features that were supposed to be blocked.
Oh well, having read the reviews it sounds quite buggy in general. Waiting for the new Sygic...
Corrupt text inputs
Is it just my copy of it? On the Prime the text input does not work correctly and keeps adding or removing random letters. Cannot enter an email address easily and now have no idea what password was set.
Works well on the Xoom but not the prime.
Configuration issue
does someone know if there is a way to configure this app so the menu'es aren't so tiny?
i purchased copilot uk years ago on my G1 phone and for some reason its completely disappeared from my google account. so ive just gone ahead and grabbed a cracked copy.
its a good app but theres no way in hell im paying again

pfft, thats not right at all. cheeky bastards!
Yes, I would recommend finding a different navigator... I have the full version and it has a lot of bugs and their support basically sucks... Their solution to every bug report is that there is something wrong on my side and they want me to delete everything on my phone to fix their bugs....

Your dead right, i bought co pilot once, they totally screwed up my upgrade and then blamed me, the treated me like an idiot and took no responsability for they're software , wouldnt give me a refund, wouldn't let me migrate etc etc etc,
i urge you, all do not buy from this company
they are only money grabbers selling a bug ridden program, its almost as if they don't realise there are better alternatives out there,
i for one will never buy from them again, anyone else had similar experience with co pilot/dough pilot?

I bought this app for my Wm6.5 and had utterly terrible support, bad enough that I relish the opportunity to let everyone else know. They had this botched system where when you upgraded ROM you had to uninstall and deregister to be able to re-install. Needless to say the system failed and I had to jump through a million hoops to get them to give me a new activation code as if I was some kind of a criminal. Best avoided for sure.
sorry to dig up an old thread but I downloaded the free version of Copilot for my Galaxy Note running 4.1.2 Jellybean and the application doesnt open. It hangs on the splash screen and closes.
Anyone else experience this problem? Any fixes?
Go to Applications, Copilot, and then FC-Clear cache-Clear data... i did that and i dont have any problem... only once i had this problem

I tried that and it didnt work. I also tried a fresh install on my friends Galaxy S2 and he gets the same exact problem!
Unless there is an application or setting on the device causing it to crash? Ideally I don't want to hard reset my device.

Guys I got this working. It was because I had my Text to Speed service disabled. Once enabled it seems to load up just fine
I've seen links and videos for installing Google play onto the Kurio 7, but I recently bought the 7s for my daughter and was wanting to install the play store so that I can install some of the games I've already bought onto her tablet. Has anyone found out how to do it?
I also have one (Kurio 7s) and was hoping that there was a way
I side loaded a few versions of the play store with no luck. Installs fine, crashed at start up.

I also have a 7s and looked into the same thing. Followed previous methods for the 7 (which is not recommended btw) and have had the same results. App will install but crashes when trying to open. Wonder if there is some port the play store uses being blocked by kurio's fw?
I've talked to kurio's tech support and they told me that the tablets don't meet googles specifications for Google play. I mentioned that I've seen where the Kurio 7 tablet was able to get the play store and they denied it. Makes me wonder if I wasted my money supporting them. But since my daughter loves to play on devices such as these its worth the smile on her face.

Would you mind providing some more info? Had an ota option not too long ago, but no Play store yet. What build number/ Android version does the ota update bring you to? I might just not have got it yet (staggered rollouts and such), or might just be missing something.
Getting the play store on this thing would be a huge plus, to an already pretty good Xmas gift.

I haven't found out more yet... I'm kinda hoping I just haven't gotten the update yet, so that it will work in due time. I'm out here in a non-US territory, so I'm used to getting things later.
Haven't been messing with it too much, as sideloading APKs is tiding my son over for now. But I'm still quite anxious to get the play store, however
EDIT: this thread here on XDA seems to have found the solution: as I thought, the OTA isn't available outside of the US yet, but you can flash a US rom and then update it so as to include the Google play store, if you want. Nice. May wait a bit for the EU OTA, but it's nice to know this is an option
Google Play update avail for Kurio 7s
Hey folks , Just to let you know I received a email from Kurio Tech last week ,stating that there finally a Google play update for 7s , I tried it last
night and wolla, it works! Please pass the word around . It's simple you just have to click on the update icon in your list of apps ,(blue arrow).
You may have to update again after the first(I had to update twice).

mine keeps saying CHECK FAILED! PLEASE CHECK YOUR NETWORK CONNECTIVITY...even though im connected to the internet.
Alright guys, background story :
1) I live in Switzerland, the chinese OnePlus One fits my need in terms of LTE
2) Even if I got an invite, OnePlus doesn't deliver in Switzerland
So I got a OnePlus One from a trusted seller in Switzerland. Price was NICE, service was excellent delivered in 5 days !
It came preloaded with CM11S, the seller seems to flash it over Color OS The baseband matches the global CM OnePlus One
BUT when I got it and started for the first time, there was some bloatware apps, nothing too terrible but like 3 apps. I was ready to root it and get ride of them (even if I didn't intend to root the OPO).
But also, when I booted the 38R OTA appeared ! (YAY, OTA seems to work ) and I applied it. Guess what, all the bloatware apps are GONE ! I guess the OTA got ride of apps that shouldn't be in /system.
Now everything is working awesome. But I'm a bit worried. Should I be afraid by the 3 bloat apps that were there at first ? Is maybe my OPO somehow remote controlled ?
I know fast boot, I know ADB but if I can avoid flashing an image on my OPO that is now all set up, that would be pretty nice.
What do you guys think ?
Also, have all a wonderful day !
It depends. Do you remember at all what the 'bloat apps' were?
Well, there was this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.lovoo.android
Also something that looked like an antivirus. It was "Dr. ..." something
And one that looked like a market app store Mobie.
They were installed as /system so is it possible that the CM OTA got ride of everything that wasn't meant to be in /system ?
Maybe you can install cm11s

It's already installed. It would just be much better if I don't have to re-install everything just to be sure. Anyway I could track my OPO to see if something weird is happening in the background ?

Sorry @Bluewall i didn't notice!As i read it the second time I noticed you are concerned about the security!Just track if any unwanted app is trying to break in!(as you said),but i dont think you should worry that much![emoji3]
My FIRST OPO was a Chinese variant which came with CM11S installed OVER ColorOS and i had about 4GB worth of used space which included apps like QQ etc videos and other stuff. I couldnt live with it so i completely wiped and flashed CM11S myself. If your feeling paranoid just DIY .

Yeah that was some scary stuff... ON topic YES i think you are fine. :good:
You might be fine now if the OTA removed Color OS and, subsequently, the three applications that were likely adware or spyware. Perhaps there is some sort of monetary incentive for pushing those applications on phones like this preinstalled so that they begin to propagate information to advertisers and scammers alike.

I do believe the seller get some money to put those apps pre-installed on the device for advertising. It kind of explain why it wasn't that much more expensive that the global version !
But putting them on /system is pretty stupid (for them!) since as soon as you update the phone it wipes /system.

There are no custom roms for the S7 USA variants. It's not possible with a locked bootloader. We only have a few modified stock roms. I'm currently rooted and waiting for Xposed so I can finally have some decent performance and battery life.

I'm on an unlocked G930T on AT&T on Nougat and really have not found a reason strong enough to go through the rooting process. The only thing that pushes my buttons is that I can't use TB and can't kill some of the old TMO apps completely. But the phone is speedy, gets me through the day without a charge, and has resources available. I've got a theme I like and have most things white on dark which I like better.
So until root becomes extremely easy and reliable, I'm okay with what I've got.
Hi I'm also on an unlocked version of TMobile using ATT. Are you doing anything specific for better battery life? I went to sleep at 100% and woke up with 87%. I have disable those that can be, I'm on Nougat as well and haven't installed too many apps yet.

Not really, just disabled everything I'm not using. And I use the device maintenance to optimize and clear memory every now and then. And I try not to leave the screen on, etc. The usual stuff. I get a day with no issues. I bought some extra wireless fast chargers on eBay and use them if necessary but really feel like I wasted my money because I just set it on the charger at night and it normally goes all day. But I'm not a real heavy phone user. That's part of it.
Sorry I can't be of more help.

I have no idea how, but it totally does.. It color coordinates system apps, user added apps and even known bloatware apps, making it easy to decide what to stop.
It's designed specifically for Samsung phones, and is the first app I install since I don't have root anymore.
Worth every penny.
Well from TMo you can get s7 edge for $480 or the flat s7 for $560? On the edge, they have fixed the palm rejection at lease on the coral blue.

Well that's weird. I bought it, tried to install it, and it says I'm rooted or there's some other issue and won't install. Obviously I'm not rooted so I don't know what's up.
After reading some of the later reviews there are many others with the same issue. I'm emailing them to see if there is any resolution.
You might want to try your app to see if it's still working correctly.

As soon as I open it to check, the license check failed and all my frozen apps reappeared.

Anyway, thanks. And sorry for jinxing you! But it's not all bad news. I ran your Thanks count up to double digits!

Strange. I wonder why it quit working for so many people. They need to fix it for everybody though because their rating on play store is going down quickly.
