That might be understandable if it was the FIRST app store, but when you come this late to the party there's no excuse for not at least using the other app stores as a reference. Putting out such a crappy product for a company like Amazon is inexcusable.
[Captivate General] MikeyMike01:
I think the Amazon market is pretty spiffy. Guess I'm alone.

That because you're out there, Mikey.:D
[Captivate General] MikeyMike01:
I try.

Stupid character limit...
[Captivate General] OBatRFan:
Loving this app store so far! I've gotten Doodle Jump, Angry Birds, and now SwiftKey. It doesn't get much better than this. Fruit Ninja next? I can only dream.
[Captivate General] F1reEng1neRed:
I like it so far! Especially the paid app for free everyday. I love Amazon! I order all kinds of crap from them!
[Captivate General] fldude99:
I never had a desire to try swift key previously, after getting it for free I'm amazed at what I was missing.
[Captivate General] ConeyKiller:
So wait....first I thought amazon app store didn't work for us? Secondly, I saw people saying that u had to stay logged into store to use app? So what am I missing here that people are able to download from it and actually like it?
[Captivate General] OBatRFan:
Most of the people using it are on a custom ROM, which enables sideloading, so that's how people on AT&T are using it.
[Captivate General] TheQat:
1) It works if you have non-market apps enabled (usually by reflashing or using something like SuperOneClick).

2) Don't know what security is in place to help prevent 'swapping' of APKs illegally. Might have something to do with that.

I'm digging it so far myself. :)
[Captivate General] ConeyKiller:
Well I have non-market apps enabled or so super one click says I do . Dont know how to tell if its working though. And does side loading need a computer? If so I'm S.O.L. Dont own one. Boo
[Captivate General] OBatRFan:
I think you need a computer if you're unrooted.
[Captivate General] fldude99:
You can probably go to amazon on your device and get the appstore downloaded from there....no computer?!
[Captivate General] ConeyKiller:
Umm I know I can download the app store app, but always says unable to download when i go to get the apk, cuz att hates amazon. Ill figure it out I suppose.

On a side note anyone else pissed off at all the non-sensical words swype has in its "dictionary"? I delete them but it always comes up with new ones lol
[Captivate General] zelendel:
It says unable to dl? Grab a different file manager like root explorer and that will allow you to DL APK files. Might work with others as well but not sure, Astro is another one.

As for the app itself, yes you have to be logged into your amazon account for the apps to work, which i think is BS. Needing to keep the app installed is one thing but always have to be signed in is another, But hey a free paid app a day is not all bad. Now just to see how long it will last lol
[Captivate General] ConeyKiller:
I meant I can't download the app on my phone because it wants a method of payment even though its free.
[Captivate General] sthodupunuri:
just put in you credit card or paypal info. it will send you a message after each app you install saying that it charged you $0.00. its kind of similar to the apple app store.
[Captivate General] ConeyKiller:
I figured it out, albeit the system is retarded. I dont see how they camn make you stayed logged into your acoount though. That's BS
[Captivate General] Hurricane Andrew:
Can't argue with that. But it still might explain AT&T's hesitation.
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
You have to set that up in your Amazon account in order to have access.
[Captivate General] newter55:
Apps in Google market are beginning to implement this as well to verify that the paid app is indeed linked to your account.
[Captivate General] ConeyKiller:
Just saw the XDA premium app is in the store. Wonder if you have to stay logged in to use that one. If so, and XDA didn't agree to it Id be raising some hell.
[Captivate General] sthodupunuri:
all u have to do is stay logged in. its worth the free app a day unless u want to download somewhere else and sideload.
[Captivate General] jes2389:
Set up Amazon one click payment using a card that i deactivate months ago. Worked fine. Also installed the Amazon app on my wife's cappy and signed in with my account so she could have angry birds. :) running same account on multiple phones. No issues so far.
[Captivate General] ConeyKiller:
Well I waited up last night for free app. Was Farm Frenzy. Went to bed at 5am est. Woke up and it was the Newsweek mobile app. 2 a day maybe?
[Captivate General] tysj:
Maybe it's 2 or more really low rating apps (or 3 if you count Diner Dash from Saturday) a day.
[Captivate General] OBatRFan:
Has anyone tried a TiBu restore of apps bought through Amazon? Does it work smoothly?
[Captivate General] elfie:
It worked seamlessly. I restored the amazon market place, and all the apps I downloaded from there.
[Nook Color General] jlt220:
If you are running HC or another ROM and can't seem to get the standard Market to work, I had it working in the past but on my last attempt to reflash i can't get it to work. The Appstore from Amazon seems to work and install on my HC Nook, However just because it install doesn't mean the app you download off of it will run properly. I am having trouble with angry birds rio for example.

I'm not sure if there are any legal things against this like with the market on CM7 or some of the other roms that don't include the market. But after a quick glance and the legal bit in the app there doesn't seem to be. Hope this eases some of the issues with getting apps.
[Nook Color General] bb12489:
yea i just installed this on my rooted NC and tired to install angery birds Rio and it told me i need an SD card inserted :/
[Nook Color General] RoboRay:
Do you have an SD card inserted?

Because if you don't, that's just an annoyance. If you do, then it's a serious problem.

In any case, I expect that's an app issue, not a store issue, unless the store doesn't allow refunds for defective products.
[Nook Color General] bb12489:
no I didnt think i needed it. I didnt have to on my captivate phone. so why would I need it on the NC?
[Nook Color General] comdei:
Its only worth it for Angry Birds RIo
[Nook Color General] RoboRay:
Some apps insist on storing data on the SD card and fail if you don't have one.

That doesn't sound like the case here, though, if AB Rio works on your phone without one.

Beats me.
[Nook Color General] vrupp:
who need it?
[Nook Color General] EVO_Android:
It won't install for me (angry birds rio). I can download the app store, and download the app, but installation never seems to work. Boy what does this remind me of...
[Nook Color General] ArmitageID:
I got the Amazon app store to install and I was able to download Angry Birds Rio onto my Honeycomb v4 Nook Color, but it does nothing but crash when I try to play the first level. Not sure what the issue is. Anyone else got this working?
[Nook Color General] Pudmunkie:
Rio isn't the only thing...Amazon has apps listed cheaper than google market, like Fruit ninja for example.
[Nook Color General] colorado_al:
Plus, a different app discounted to $0 every day.
[Nook Color General] mutant13:
Warez link removed
[Nook Color General] RoboRay:
I installed the Amazon App Store and then Angry Birds Rio and they both work fine on CM7.
[Nook Color General] Canadoc:
Amazon app store won't work in Canada. Too bad
[Nook Color General] b1tpunk:
The Amazon App Market installs all apps on the sd card. I am not entirely sure why this is just yet.
[Nook Color General] EVO_Android:
Did anyone with HC 3.0 rooted internally, have an issue installing this to the SD card?
[Nook Color General] EVO_Android:
Ok, it must be Rio because Paper Toss installed just fine.
[Nook Color General] wle9344:
I'm running Nookie Froyo on a sd card and the Amazon Market loaded and works and Angry Birds Rio downloads and works fine.
[Nook Color General] Toys Samurai:
Installing Angry Bird Rio to a HC Nook Color is easy (you just need to move the app from the SD card back to phone -- ie, the NC), but you won't get past the intro of the first level. You will hear a few birds' noise and then the app will close itself.
[Nook Color General] Atahachi:
Appstore installed but when I try to download AB Rio it tells me there is nothing to download.
[Nook Color General] bousquet:
I also have issues with HC v4 2nd Ed. I installed the Amazon Appstore, then installed AB Rio without issues.

When I tried to run it, it crashed with FC's. I then went in and moved the app off the SD and onto the "phone" and it opens now. However, it still crashes after the intro.

Any ideas?
[Nook Color General] NewZJ:
there is a "no refund" policy with the amazon appstore, they don't tell you till you look for the fine print
[Nook Color General] jlt220:
None... the other angry birds run fine off the app store not sure what is wrong with RIO though
[Nook Color General] aggie6600:
I have been running Rio with no problems on Cm7 nightly 22 installed to emmc. I do have an sdcard if that matters
[Nook Color General] sqs1shu:
Install Amazon AppStore app and got Angry Bird Rio, much nicer than the one with ads.
[Nook Color General] skwalas:
amazon apps DRMed

I posted this elsewhere, but y'all should be aware that amazon appears to be DRMing the apps through their store. If you de-register your device (unlink to your amazon account), all the apps you've downloaded will be locked and un-usable until you re-register the device. And i'm not even sure you'd get them back if you happened to register under a different account.
[Nook Color General] spdsl:
Amazon apps and Angry Birds working fine on a 3.0 auto-rooted nook here. I had to check and uncheck "allow non market apps" and used Astro to launch the install from my SD card.
[Nook Color General] eghill1125:
Is anyone able to run the World Series of Poker form the Amazon App Store in full screen on their NC? I am running PhireMod 5.1 and this is the only app that isn't able to do the full screen. It plays the 2 flash screens at the beginning in full screen, but then the game goes to phone size to play it. I also have a problem with it if i update it through the Amazon App store. It says update available and after the update is installed, it just force closes. I have to uninstall the update for it to be playable again.

Anyone seeing this also or is it mine and my rom or something?
[Nook Color General] OrangeRafi:
I downloaded & intalled Amazon Appstore but I can.t download any application. Theere an error message that pops up & says "Amazon Appstore for Android is not uet available in your region" Amazon Appstore os exclusive for the US residents?

The only thing I like thos appstore work os because I want to fownload Angry Birds Rio
[Nook Color General] japzone:
Barring your grammer,

Amazon Appstore is, for now, US Only. Although I suspect that they'll expand it soon. It makes sence since they're an American based Company and they want to test their New Product and make sure it's working right before allowing Millions more people from overseas to get it. Think about it, they have to make sure their servers and app are running smoothly and will float before letting the flood gates open.

It's not like they're the only company to do this. Japanese Companies like Nintendo do it all the time(3DS was released there months ago). So stop yelling at Amazon. It also takes time to make sure International Payment options are working too.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suhas_sm:
AFAIR mine was GRH78C........ Now after flashing many roms (Currently on NS_Collab 1.0.12) its GRI40.

Whats teh difference ?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rafael Cadina:
grh78c = stock version 2.3.2

gri40 = stock version 2.3.3

gri54 = stock version 2.3.3 (europpean version with lcd)

It's the baseband version of your phone
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DoomFragger:
I have an European SLCD Nexus S and I have:

Android version: 2.3.3

Baseband: I9023XXXKB1

Build number: GRI40

And I have no updates available.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rafael Cadina:
No problem about that.

You can update your radio to GRI54 using links in the development forum.

Just flash the .zip file ;)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suhas_sm:
Aaah okay. Thanks for the information :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
or flash the radios via fastboot (.img).. either one would work
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suhas_sm:
Fastboot, was required only while rooting. From there on, cwm recovery ftw!

My friend is having problems with her galaxy s battery going flat even when not in use in about 20h (without using it.)

Any ideas

I checked for running aps

What might i try

Or is the battery faulty?

Can you help
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DummyPLUG:
it is normal if you enable data
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
yup it's normal
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaxy44:
cheers for the replies.... but i don't understand them :)

what does she have to do?

I have the same phone, and make phone calls and surf the web and still have more battery in the evening.

her phone is just in her bag all day?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PrinterElf:
What apps does she have installed which you don't?

For example, if she uses the Facebook/Twitter apps and they're updating themselves every 10 mins as opposed to every hour (or even manually) then her battery will get eaten alive!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaxy44:
i think she has a facebook app i'll check whats different to my phone.

Also I installed a few battery type app to see if things are different on her phone.

Any other ideas suggestions welcome :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlexAlien1966:
Do check the running services!

Check what services are running!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaxy44:
how do i do that? in the task manager?

I also turned the sync to her facebook app to 'never' .
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ste1164:
Turn GPS off when not needed and WiFi when not needed that usually helps. Also when wifi is on turn off notify me about new networks. Make sure screen brightness is set to automatic also.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killpacient:
if she has live wallpapers thats a bad ideea for a lasting battery, live wallpapers use cpu.. cpu user electricity, and the battery gets empty really fast. i`m runing ~ 40hours with nonstop wifi or data mode activated, depends on my locations, 1 push email runing 24/7 skype 24/7 and i talk for about 10-30 min per day... so... install cpu temp v2 and uncheck the screen timeout (set it to 10 minutes) and let the phone on the table and look at the cpu tempv2 if the cpu drops to 1-5 % @100mhz , if it doesn`t drop below 10 percent @100mhz then you have some nasty apps that are not idle.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] risqu3:
if im in an area where i get 5 bars i can get more battery life while using my phone for a while, than I would if I am in an area where i get no connection or an area where my connection is constantly dropping. This is because the phone constantly tries to connect to the service provider and uses up tons of battery doing it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PrinterElf:
Perhaps a bit early to tell, but has it made any difference?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlexAlien1966:
Go to Settings -> Applications -> Running Services and check what is shown.

(Switched my phone to English language to ensure the names above are correct). Do the same if your language is not English and you are still worried.

Cheers

Alex
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stitch!:
I have 2 days battery life with medium usage, download a stripped rom and keep it basic on the widget/wallpaper/amount of apps.

Download damiangto 1.2 gold underclock to 800 mhz (or keep it at 1000 mhz, but it doesnt change so much in speed for me)

undervolt by steps. as long as your phone doesnt die in sleepmode you can go lower. Im undervolting at -100 without any problems.

Download superpower or juicedefender. I have good experiences with both, using superpower at the moment and its free and good.

black backgrounds and themes are better for battery life because of the Super AMOLED screen.

You dont have to totally discharge your phone before charging it, charging whenever possible is actually better for long term battery life.

Hope this helps ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaxy44:
Thanks for the replies everyone

I'l check all of the information out

I installed

Battery mix (has discharge graph)

Smart battery

Battery eta (has Discharge rate)

I swapped batteries with mine (hers still discharged too fast)

annoyingly it mucked up the battery discharge statistics because my battery was full when i put it in her phone.

She doesn't really muck about with her phone, very few apps or wallpaper etc.

I just go crazy with mine. :D:D:p

my battery discharge (with loads of use see CPU graph)

her battery use (phone was in her bag not used all day at work)

she was in a different location to me. see no CPU activity either

I looked in running services

mapslocationfriendservice (latitude) was 26% mine was about 9

and android system was higher on her phone

I mucked about unnistalled and installing maps using market and titanium backup

also I installed OCLF on her phone (one click lag fix) because it is on my phone. also the battery apps were slowing it down.

In short

her battery is plummeting about 3 hour if its in use and 11 in standby

its not the battery

i think is something to do with the android system.

probably latitude

but i could be wrong :confused:

I'll have another crack at it later.

Worst case i could master reset and restore titanium backups of her texts and contacts and stuff. but I like to sort it out

Cheers for the advice, I'll check it all out.

I'll post back if there any change in the situation
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaxy44:
quick update

Her phone appears to be running better

I think it was google maps latitude update.

I cant 100% be sure.

but the result of the stuff i tried on the above post seemed to have changed her phone from the poor performance it suddenly started getting.

I am thinking of trying out 'superpower' and or 'juicedefender' on mine and her phones in the future.

Thanks for the tips everyone
[HTC 7 Pro] 92GTA:
Microsoft started pushing the new 7390 update today. Since the Sprint Arrive has the 7389 update, do you think we will get updated to 7390? Or do you think that 1 build difference is for Samsungs phones that had the issue updating?

Alex
[HTC 7 Pro] cyclical:
Good question...
[HTC 7 Pro] Budniu:
@92GTA I see in your signature that you installed NoDo update. Tell me please, you tried to Chevron unlock device ? It's possible or not ? Big THX for your reply
[HTC 7 Pro] 92GTA:
Sprint HTC Arrives shipped with build 7389 installed from the OEM, hence why I was wondering if they would be updated to 7390 by MS.

I haven't tried it because I read it won't work with update. I'll let someone else be the guinny pig :D
[HTC 7 Pro] Budniu:
Ok THX, I understand, and I wait too :rolleyes:
[HTC 7 Pro] cyclical:
I have tried finding details on what the difference between 7389 and 7390 are and I can't find anything.
[HTC 7 Pro] 92GTA:
Looks like a NO:

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsphone/en-us/features/update-schedule-usa.aspx
[HTC 7 Pro] cyclical:
Yeah I saw that, I don't see that there is any difference between the two. Possibly 7389 is for CDMA 7390 is for GSM or something like this.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] EhdisChris:
Hey Guys,

I know I shouldn't post a new topic without searching, but that's what I've been doing. I just haven't got a definitive answer to these questions:

1) For apps2sd, on a hd2, would it possible to partition an ext2 to 2gb size?

I got that answer, it's YES. But my next question is, is there any flaws or anything that could go wrong in doing so? :confused: what about 4gb?

Using CoreDroid v1.5, 2.15 radio, 2.08HSPL.... etc.

2) Does class 2,4,6 for the sd card really matter?

[LG Optimus 2x] kruppin:
Hi

Did just now try to take a picture with and without the backcover on the phone, and without it, the picturs just looks so much more colorful and nice. How do we fix this?

An example: img851[dot]imageshack[dot]us/g/img047d.jpg/

Change the [dot] to real dots. (duh)

Sorry for bad eng, but I hope you understand. :p
[LG Optimus 2x] marvincmy:
I also have this question after saw the LG VS iPhone photo and video quality test. The O2x's photo like have a white filter and non colorful .

I already ordered it and waiting for arrive. Can u post some compare photo? The original and without the back cover?

Is it possible to replace the Transparent part by DIY a higher quality glass/plastic?:rolleyes:
[LG Optimus 2x] kruppin:
It's night here, so only indoor photos, but you'll get the idea. ;)

And WHY do LG-Home FC every single time I put it into USB Mass Storage? Need custom roms, now! :p

Anyways, here's the link to some photos packaged with winrar. The last two is shot in a half-dark room with the flash.

www[dot]megaupload[dot]com/?d=NRUVCSR0

Apparently I couldn't post links, so change the [dot] to actual dots. :p
[LG Optimus 2x] drrogern:
Kruppin, I get "The file you are trying to access is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later" when I try to download. Got another location to dl from?

Edit: Nevermind, the link is working again :)

Thanks!

I did try this myself now, but couldn't see any difference. But it might be because its dark here now and cant really get any good shots anyway.
[LG Optimus 2x] kruppin:
Ofc you get it working right when i've uploaded it elsewhere. :p Hm, maby you've got a better glass, cus if i look through it, it's like "milky" or something. Anyway, another guy on swedroid noticed it too, so I thought it was for everyone.
[LG Optimus 2x] drrogern:
Kruppin, yeah typical :P I'l probably try this tomorrow. Lets just hope there's a replacement cover to order somewhere soon if this really is the case :)

Btw, thanks for the info!
[LG Optimus 2x] eurit:
I tried this myself and i couldn't believe my eyes, the difference is pretty massive.

on the plus-side the camera is actually REALLY good without the back cover on :P
[LG Optimus 2x] kruppin:
Yeah, it's like "Wait, I'm just gonna take the backcover of so I can get a decent picture" :p

But I just can't beleve LG made THIS of a big screwup, i mean, I don't know what to say, I'm speachless. And also they didn't say it had "gorilla glass" which only that can be deal-breakers for many. I think they rushed this phone alittle too much. Dont get me wrong, I love it, but it's some small things I just can't understand how they missed. If LG would replace the backcovers, then I would absolutly love them, but that wont ever happen so hopefully someone releases a replacement cover with a better glass, and looks as nice as LGs own.
[LG Optimus 2x] kruppin:
Okay, some strong alcohol and very much polishing have made it almost as good as w/o. Yay. :D Just to polish with a cloth didn't work, which is why I made this thread. :p So try that. :D
