It's out now but being released in waves rather than to everyone at once. Supposedly it will take a few weeks for everyone to get it.
[Venue Pro General] 937dytboi:
Guess I will check to see if I have the update when I get off of work tonight
[Venue Pro General] varunverma:
got my nodo last night.

i can feel things moving faster with some apps but some apps respond the same way(pre-pre nodo n nodo updates) copy n paste is certainly a welcome addition.

i wish buying apps via non US card wasn't dropped.. :-/

my dvp hung after pre-nodo update once.... but post nodo it is back to its stable self..

love wp7.. :D
[Venue Pro General] si_Z:
Update

No NODO for me yet.....
[Venue Pro General] TechMan-2012:
I’m still not getting the update either. I did get the pre NoDo update and my DVP froze in the middle of the update. And now every time I check, I just get that my phone is up to date :(
[Venue Pro General] hsukirk:
No official Nodo after pre-nodo. Tried 2 different methods mentioned above but still without any luck.

Mine is T-mob officially unlocked via Dell code and using Win Phone 7 Connector in Mac.
[Venue Pro General] ZappiestOyster:
Used the Chevron hack to get it on mine. Am US T-Mobile.
[Venue Pro General] citrix80:
will that cause any problem or risk of brick it? have you tried?
[Venue Pro General] ZappiestOyster:
I can confirm that this doesn't cause any issues. I have had NoDo installed for the past two days, WiFi on - no reboots yet.

All that the Chevron tool does is that it bypasses the carrier and downloads the update directly from MS.

At the end of the update process, the tool "times out," waiting on the phone to reboot. However, the phone's already rebooted.

Again, this hasn't caused any issues for me yet. I was just too tired waiting on T-Mobile. It is not as if they're going to include special fixes of their own - such fixes will be included in Dell's upcoming firmware update.
[Venue Pro General] 937dytboi:
update was available to me today. I have Nodo now. Woots. Not the count down to Mango.

Copy and paste feature was well needed for me.
[Venue Pro General] citrix80:
I just open up zune and check for update, notification says march 2011 update is avaialble.

phone updated successful. current version is 7.0(7390).

is this the latest update? I checked word, internet explorer, still no copy and paste, why?
[Venue Pro General] pjfan75:
I got the update message today as well.
[Venue Pro General] si_Z:
Upgrade

got mine today.

Copy and Paste works fine.

Transition between apps also looks much better.

OS Version: 7.0.7390.0
[Venue Pro General] citrix80:
why no copy and paste?
[Venue Pro General] 937dytboi:
Are you sure you updated to NoDo. Mines works fine and I love it. Thanks M$
[Venue Pro General] citrix80:
it says march 2011 update. current software version: 7.0 (7390)

is that the latest?
[Venue Pro General] 937dytboi:
Yup
[Venue Pro General] 937dytboi:
How are you attempting to copy and paste?
[Venue Pro General] citrix80:
put down the screen and try to swape through the text, i suppose it should able to highlight an area of text and pop up a button says copy, but whatever I do to the screen, nothing happens, everything is same as before. :confused:
[Venue Pro General] 937dytboi:
Idk. I just tap a word. Then its highlighted then I can drop the highlight wherever I want then I select it to be copied
[Venue Pro General] citrix80:
I just tried in word, internet exporer, hotmail, messaging. only messaging has copy menu. when I press down the screen it pop a menu says copy, but I cannot hightlight anything.
[Venue Pro General] frazell:
You have to tap a word first then you can expand the selection. It won't detect it if you try to swipe a group of words prior to the selection appearing.
[Venue Pro General] Wyn6:
Yes, just tap once on a single word. It should highlight. You can then drag to select other words. Long pressing (press and hold) to copy only works in SMS (texts).
[Venue Pro General] citrix80:
still not working :( I press down the screen try to tap a word, but not working. only in text messaging can come up a copy menu, i cannot highlight, only when I push down the scree, a mene pop up. no any where else. I tried new, internet explorer, no menu pop up. :mad:

Its probably preparing, not out quite yet though. Give it some time!
[Epic 4G General] jdelano:
My kids had the transform for a while; which came with sprint id. Sounds like a good concept; but it really wasn't very good.

Who knows, perhaps they learned from the whoas from Transform users. Maybe, doubt it though.

I know for myself; Sprint ID will never be installed on my Epic.

Good luck!!

Got this text 3.5 hours ago in Minneapolis. Since I just got midnight 5 working after days of trouble with midnight 4.2, I'm not terribly enticed to go back to stock and get the update ... I assume plenty of others will be .. but maybe no one yet?

what do you mean status on google servers?

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chib1panda:
Hey I am getting one of the newer versions of the ffc and was wondering which ones supported it

I know bionix frost does . ? Thanks.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ipeench:
Just before you flash a rom... or if your just wondering look in the post for the rom. If it says it supports the FFC, then it supports it. If there is no mention of the FFC anywhere its safe to assume it does not support it.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chib1panda:
I looked through all of them and none said cfc support. I know axura does. I just wanted to know who's using their ffc on what rom and what is/not working? Only thing I saw on some of them was build.prop mods
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oka1:
Axura and the Trigger both do and I believe the new 2.21 Jellette just released
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eunkipark92:
download sgs tools and using that app download hacked camera. And u can use ffc on any roms I believe.
[Captivate General] elfie:
Amazon just launched its app store today and is giving out Angry Birds Rio for free today, it is awesome.

http://www.amazon.com/mobile-apps/b/ref=sa_menu_adr_app1?ie=UTF8&node=2350149011

PS: You need the ability to enable unknown sources, hence is not available for AT&T :(. Since most of the custom roms have it so it works for us.

thanks to all the developers at XDA.
[Captivate General] comdei:
Yeah its only for custom roms and some verizon/tmobile phones.

Its really laggy but worth it for free angry birds :)
[Captivate General] elfie:
Laggy in what ? I found it pretty smooth.

Has this issue where it asks you to enable one click purchase option and I could not get past that.. but if you purchase it online, and then open the app store on the phone it downloads the apps instantly. I actually found it faster than the market.
[Captivate General] viny2cool:
+1...and i heard they have this offer to give one paid app for free per day or something....worth trying....:P

Dont make a mistake of installing Angry bird Rio...u might get addicted :p...playing it since i installed it....3 hrs straight :P...
[Captivate General] zelendel:
Yeah we will see what happens sense the evil fruit is sueing them for using "app Store" lol
[Captivate General] elfie:
At worst they might have to change the name... I don't think they will have to close the store unless google or the carriers decide against it.
[Captivate General] androph:
Actually better than android market...both amazon web and app version

What is the critique process and security?

Do they check apps like itunes, no check or maybe check like goggle market

Edit: I'm still sticking with android market...I think multiple markets will get confusing....I can imagine the "with amazon app store" phones already ):
[Captivate General] cotr:
i think is the wrong path to go with Android. Its good to have all the same OS but what if BB comes out with their own market (which they will) but then you have a Samsung?

Google should put a stop to this.

FYI: Some of the apps on the Amazon AppStore cost more than they do in the Market.
[Captivate General] Hurricane Andrew:
Sideload Wonder Machine will work on Stock Rooted ROM (Froyo). Use it to install the Amazon App MArket. Then download Rio...it won't install, but you can again use SWM to install the downloaded Rio apk.
[Captivate General] diablo009:
It NEEDS credit card info even to download FREE apps..!!!!
[Captivate General] tangella:
So please let me know what do i need to do if i want to install amazon appstore on my captivate, and how can i do it

Thanks
[Captivate General] cotr:
Just set it to use your normal Amazon Store CC. thats all i did.
[Captivate General] zelendel:
Read the thread. Thats how.:D
[Captivate General] Seanbest:
Installed without issue on my stock AT&T 2.2. Used AIO Toolbox to enable side loading and I just downloaded using the link and installed. Linked it with my Amazon account (which already has 1-click setup) and downloaded Angry Birds Rio and installed without issue.
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
Same here. Already blew through the first 15 levels of Angry Birds Rio.:D

It is much easier if you already have an Amazon account established prior to installing their App Store.
[Captivate General] oktnxbai:
How about for yuppies like me who does not have any credit card yet? :(

[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
They will soon be able to bill purchases directly to your AT$T account. Wait until then.
[Captivate General] PhilSlater:
Use a test card, Mailinator for an address, and make yourself an account with no real info other than your tn. I didn't try to fake that out, it might work, it might not.

Of course their app store runs on startup, and is required to run the program, meaning I'll finish off Angry Birds Rio in airplane mode then uninstall it all.

And Amazon's interface is pretty bad, especially when you are in catagories. Didn't they test?
[Captivate General] fldude99:
Interesting...I was able to install on stock 2.2. I guess since I've rooted and enabled non market apps it was able to do that. Not sure why an Amazon appstore tho..what does it have over the market?
[Captivate General] vaiol123:
Its great that we can finally have an app store that filters out all the crap in the android market. The one thing I miss the most from iOS is a decent app store with (at the very least) pretty apps. Unfortunately there is just too much low quality stuff meant phones with low res displays.
[Captivate General] fldude99:
So you're saying that the amazon app store filters out the "crap"? How so? A quick browse shows all the same stuff to me
[Captivate General] mrmeany:
Ok, I'm running stock Froyo and not rooted. (because I'm lazy) Sent the Amazon store apk file to my email. Downloaded and put on with Sideload Wonder Machine. Then I obtained the Angry Birds Rio apk. (sort of the hard way I guess. Downloaded, but obviously wouldn't install so I connected to computer and copied to folder on the computer) Installed Angry Birds Rio apk with SWM also and it works great. Kind of convoluted, but it worked.
[Captivate General] TheGrub:
IMO, this is a stupid idea to start new appstores like that... now amazon, later 100 of them !

Second, amazon launched today, free angry birds for 1 day. I connected, downloaded, installed, setup my account and then tried to download angry birds rio only to have a nice popup telling me amazon appstore is not available in my region (Canada).... Frustration, frustrations...
[Captivate General] Machavity:
As long as you realize that AT&T doesn't want you using it and that you can still use DIY sideloading it's all fine.

My gripe is that Amazon requires you to be logged in to use the apps you've downloaded. Why?

As to the wisdom of it, consider that

Amazon likes to dabble in just about everything that can be sold online

There are no licensing issues, potential or otherwise, with Android as opposed to, say, iOS, Win7 Mobile, etc

Amazon can drive better deals for everyone by competing

You can test drive apps on your PC first
[Captivate General] ConeyKiller:
I installed amazon app store just fine on my phone. Unusable yes, feels faster them the market though. Btw anyone have the rio apk? Lol
[Captivate General] androph:
Anyone notice that you must have app store installed and be signed in for app (like angry birds rio) to run.

Pulled angry birds rio apk from my phone and pushed it to another and started getting app store not installed messages when running rio
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
Really? Does that mean the store has to "phone home" every time you run an app you downloaded from Amazon? That's an idiotic use of MY data plan. Looks like I'll be uninstalling it as soon as I finish playing with AB Rio. Pretty stupid.:mad:
[Captivate General] zelendel:
Yup I am removing it myself now. It is pointless if that is the case.

Sent from the shadows
[Captivate General] TRusselo:
then they are modifiying the original apps to require their store? how is that legal. if they touched my app i would sue!

that being considered, it may only apply to their "free today" apps.

Somebody on Atrix forum said : "The actual apk that you downloaded that failed to install is saved in the cache directory of the appstore which is in the data folder on the internal sd card."

Don't know if it is valid for us.

Try looking in

I put on airplane mode, killed all apps, and Rio still loaded fine... So I don't think it phones home when you use an app.

Sent from my Captivate
[Captivate General] zelendel:
Not sure if it phones home but for sure checks to see if the app store is installed. Without it it wont load. What a load of crap, mainly if all the apps are like that.
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
I'm thinking because of the tie in with the upcoming movie, maybe AG Rio is the only app behaving this way so that producers can control it from being freely distributed. It would be insane to do this with every app on Amazon's App Market unless they plan to have a lot of exclusive content they don't want crossing market platforms. This would be bad for us users if a "Market" war were to break out and we had to choose sides or be forced to have to use both just to keep our apps running. Seems like Google would have something to say about this since Android is their platform despite it being open source.
[Captivate General] neoalphaflight:
amazon appstore

Im just not liking this. every time i restart my phone the app mysteriously disappears, until i open the amazon app. When you start taking over the way my apps are displayed on my phone i begin to have a problem with that. Thanks but no thanks until they fix that. will uninstall :mad:

[Captivate General] richb500:
One problem is that I don't think there is away to preview the app's permission prior to purchasing it. You, of course, see the permissions when you are about to install it. At that point, it's too late.

Another problem... I don't see a try out period - not even the lame 15 min that Google has. Please don't tell me about the pc based Flash app demos. That won't show you if it will work on your phone.

Lastly, I couldn't figure out how to return a purchase. I've only downloaded free apps, but they still send you a receipt like it's a purchase. When I try to return it, I get sent to a list of my prior Amazon purchases, but none of my apps show up.

This is a show stopper. I won't purchase any app that I can't preview the permissions prior to purchasing. Has anyone figured out how yet?
[Captivate General] Hurricane Andrew:
Bear in mind, it is a new store, and Amazon has historically been very good about implementing suggestions. The suggestions discussed in this thread are all worthy of consideration. Wouldn't it me ironic if AT&T's holdout were due to some of the shortcomings we've identified such as returns and previewing permissions prior to purchase? I doubt it, of course, but you never know...
[Captivate General] MikeyMike01:
It's due to AT&T having it's head up it's ass.
