Nope. The APKs have DRM in them that connects to the Amazon app, which then checks with Amazon to make sure you're authorized to have that app and run it. You're SOL unless you want to unpack and hack each and every app and its update.

Apparently it's up to the app maker whether or not they want to have the DRM, but all of the free-app-of-the-day's have had this DRM.

What's the big deal with having it installed? Seems like a small price to pay for the paid app giveaway. Granted, it takes a couple megs of storage, but other than that I don't see all that big a problem.

yeah really, imigine if you weren't rooted youd have tons more apps you can not get rid. Amazon wants to give away apps every day hecks yeah i'll keep their app

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Explore3:
I can live with the Amazon app store. I have been getting the free apps since Angry Birds. I have a lot of apps. I use it to store the apps until I find a use for them or download into a different device. It also is the only way you can get app updates.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sLiKK:
+1 on that. I was initially hesitant to keep amazon app store. I realized it aint a big deal keeping it there. It gets me some of the paid apps for free that i really want... and also provides updates. i think its totally worth it.... even more if you play games on your phone coz most of the featured apps are games.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BonkyMoon:
I like the amazon appstore for the free apps and also because you can load the free apps on more than one device. My wife has a rooted Nook Color and I put the amazon appstore on there, now she can have the same games on her phone and the Nook Color.

I still use the official Android Market when I actually buy an app though.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dratini:
Is this the Amazon MP3 store? I tried to look for it in the App Market but I have no idea what it looks like lol.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BonkyMoon:
You're not gonna find it on the android market, it's a direct competitor to the android market made by Amazon. The reason they're giving away a paid app for free every day is to try and build a userbase and lure people away from the android market. A lot of the paid apps on there are also less expensive than the same apps on the Android Market.

Hi

I have a second hand dell streak running 2.2 and maps 5.1.2.

When I hold on the map for a location, it permanently says 'loading location' so I'm not able to access street view etc.

When I search for a location, it works fine (i can access the sub menu with street view etc.)

Any ideas as to why this might be?

I've rebooted a number of times, and have rolled back to maps version 4.9 but the issue persists

Thanks

I am currently trying to unroot my evo and get it to say S-ON on the hboot. However I cannot do this by the method I am trying because my phone will not connect up through USB as a disk drive or through HTC sync.

Can anyone help me with this because my phone is having a few other issues and I need to get it unrooted so I can get sprint to repair it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
Download two files. (I'd link you, but I'm on the app). One, unrevoked s on tool. The other, a PC36IMG of an RUU. Take your SD card out of your Evo, and either put it in another phone to transfer the files, or a card adapter to do it. Put them on the main directory of your card, then put the card back in your Evo . Go to recovery, flash s on tool. (Don't run the PC36IMG until s is on). once s is on, boot to the bootloader and accept the update. The RUU should then run, and should bring you back to stock.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] TacoSandwich85:
Thanks man. I think they took the site down, not seeing it now even though I could earlier.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Acturbo:
Not working for me now either, hope its not due to a price mistake :(.

I can still find it by searching best buy website but it wont let me open the item up.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dfin13:
I figured that was a little too much tablet for $400.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Rumbleweed:
Look at the specs 2.2 lbs. It's a "Transformer" aka brick that converts to a tablet.:D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Acturbo:
Lol, actually that's either the box weight or a typo. It weigh's 1.49 pounds.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dfin13:
The Slider is the 2.2 pound "brick." The Transformer has a keyboard dock that you can put the tablet part onto.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gqukyo:
I was mad as hell when I saw this on Engadget... but it's probably is too good to be true. But if the price is legit, I'm definitely returning or selling my gtab for the Asus. :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Radon_22:
...and it's gone from the Best Buy site. Got a feeling that price is a bit low.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Acturbo:
Gone from Amazon.ca too. I really hope it is $399, but I have a feeling it will be at least in the $450 to $600 range. What I don't understand is how more than one site messed the pricing up? Did Asus give them the wrong MSRP or something?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] donatom3:
I totally see Asus coming it at that price with a 16gb internal memory. I think what is more likely is Asus wasn't ready to release the pricing to the industry. You know don't give your competitors time to readjust their pricing. They actually manufacture their own products and the parts in it can be bought for quite a bit under that price in the bulk Asus buys at.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] fiction300:
Acturbo,

The keyboard has an internal battery, so its normal for it to last LONGER with keyboard attached
[Eee Pad Transformer General] filterking:
Newegg shows prices on their site

Newegg shows the 16GB at $399.00 and a 32GB at $499.00. This maybe what is motivating Viewsonic to reduce the prices on their Gtab. They do not list any pricing on the keyboard/battery pack.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] cmduarte:
Just looked at Newegg, no longer listed.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] H3llb0und:
They also stated that if the Tablet is running low on battery (or fully out, don't recall) the keyboard dock will recharge the Tab.

[HTC Inspire 4G] zxrax:
My school is in the boondocks (not really) and has virtually no cell service in half the rooms. Is there a setting I can tweak to make the phone stop constantly searching for a signal if it loses signal so that it doesn't drain the battery so much when I'm here?

For a comparison, last night after being unplugged for 4 hours, I'd had the display on for 15 minutes and I was at 94% battery. Right now I've been unplugged for about as long and I've had the display (on a lower brightness) for about as long, but my battery is at 84%. Nothing appears to have taken the battery other than Cell Standby, the rest of the numbers are miniscule, between 2 and 3%.

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] iwillkillyou:
It's not really free, it's like a discount. Also the apk needs your Amazon account to work. The app is connected to who ever bought it. So it won't work on anyother phone unless its cracked.

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jamesd86:
What you mean you think they'll stop giving away apps? I don't think they will. Unless you know something we dont.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] iwillkillyou:
Well think about it, it's been going for over two months now. Nothing lasts forever. It's bad business for amazon and the developer.

I understand the reason for the free app per day. Amazon appstore was new, since we already had the market, they needed a way for us to use it. What better way then giving out paid apps free. At the beginning it was working out. Amazon appstore was getting more hits including the app developer. But after a while it reaches its limit. By that I mean, people already know what the amazon appstore is, the visitors are already there. Not much room for more.

I hope im clear, so what are your ideas. Like I said, what do you think. would we still be getting the apps thru june? Or should I rephrase that, will it last till july.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] SimeonAS89:
That's actually a really good point. Isn't Apple suing Amazon for the usage of "App Store?" That right there is also not good for business.

It wouldn't surprise me if the free app of the day was removed. Their losing money day by day and trust me those $0.99 apps do add up. But on the other hand, I think it gives the user better discovery of new apps that are available, rather than just the standard ones that we all have come to love.

My guess is, if it does end of course, it'll be in June, if not sometime after the release of Plants vs. Zombies.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jamesd86:
It will go untill Amazon says otherwise. I know a few people that are only buying on Amazon app store due to having devices w.o Market access. I honestly dont see it changing any time soon.
