? about cases w/ built-in screen protectors & any silicone/plastic/silicone cases?

2 questions, first I am wondering about the cases with built in screen protectors like the kraken, harcore, etc (I know they arent out for the ET4G). when putting on a regular screen protector, if you have an air bubble under it, it looks like complete crap! I tried watching some videos and cant see any that look bad, but do the screen protectors in these cases not cling to the screen at all and is that why they look good without having to spend alot of time trying to apply the case while not letting air get trapped under the screen?

and 2, I have seen plenty of cases that have a silicone inner liner inside of a hard shell, then there is the cases that your phone sits in the hard inner plastic and then its surrouned by silicone. I like how the kraken covers all the ports with its outer silicone sleeve, but I would rather have my phone in silicone on the inside as well, because it seems to me there would be less chance of wear spots on the corners of the phone that my old phone got from being in a hard case for a long time.

I "acquired" an apk for an app and now I'd like to buy it but the market only gives me an option to update the app and when I do it tells me that I haven't bought it.

I've tried uninstaling, clearing market cache, installing through online market, delinking from market in tb but nothing works.

Any ideas on how I can make the market forget that I ever had this app?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
You said you tried uninstalling; what did you uninstall? The market or the app?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benjymous:
I've got the same problem. Installed one of Getjar's gold apps (free apps that are paid on the market). Got fed up of it sitting there in the Android Market's updates list (it seems not all developers bother pushing updates to getjar, and you still have to manually redownload to see if there's an update) but I can't get the Market to let me buy it - it seems to have latched on to the getjar version.

When I uninstall the app, it shows up in the market as purchased, but attempting to download fails the additional checks. Since it thinks its already purchased, I can't buy it.

I tried clearing the market data and cache, but that doesn't make a difference :confused:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NORCALkID:
Try installing the app again and clearing the data for that app and then uninstall .. Also check your sd card to see if you have app data on there
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dave_y:
Both. First it was the app and now I've update market too. It's definitely a market issue as when I check it out online it shows as "purchased".
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benjymous:
I just found a solution - find the app on the web marketplace, and it'll let you buy it there, then the phone will happily update.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
With the app being uninstalled, when you go in the market and try to re-download the app, what happens?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dave_y:
The app shows up with "purchased " next to it. I then click on that followed by Install but then a toast message appears saying that it's not been bought.

In the web market it also says purchased although that's where I'm going to dig around next.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
Weird situation. Here's an idea: Re-install the apk file which you "acquired", then uninstall it through the market. See if this fixes your problem..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dave_y:
That's the problem - when an item needs to be updated in the market you only get options to Open and Update rather than Open and Uninstall. I could try to get the "acquired" version update and then uninstall that I suppose.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
Yes you could. Also, you don't always get Open and Update. Sometimes you may see it say Update and Uninstall and if you click update and it fails (for some reason), then it changes to Open and Update.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NORCALkID:
Don't uninstall from the market use your stock app manager or titanium backup if you have it but first clear all traces of the app your trying to un install.. Cuz their may be some kind of cookie/data Installed that is telling the market you already have it
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dave_y:
OK having tried uninstaling through different methods I've managed to solve it.

I used the Old Market app to replace my 3* version and I was able to officially uninstall and then purchase the app.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
Great. Glad you problem has been solved.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wrapp:
Hi,

great to hear that you found a solution. I have the same problem here. Can you provide a download link to the old Market version you used?

Thanks a lot

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xprog:
I had the same problem and this is what I ended up doing.

Under Manage Applications/all

clear data and uninstall updates for market

clear data for download manager

Now I opened market and had the old/original market back, before it updated again I searched for the app that was bugged and it let me purchase/install it on the old market. A minute later the market was auto updated. Not sure what steps were actually needed but this is what worked for me. GL
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeleboba:
Can you, please, share the old Market apk?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enko420:
Just install the "acquired" version, then goto Market and un-install it. After that the market will show an option to purchase.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tpace75:
I had the same problem. I installed version2.2.6 of the market. and searched quickly for the app that said purchased before the market updated automatically. It let me purchase it. Problem Solved. I would post the link, but I don't have enough posts here.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fkntwizted:
It seems to work for me... more than likely your going to have to factory reset so you can get the old market. And before it updates go to the app and purchase it but don't leave till it starts to download.

[HTC Sensation] QuantumX123:
Hey everyone. I did a search on GTMax extended batteries for the Sensation and found one person giving it a negative review...I was just wondering if any more people have tried it? If so, what are your experiences?. Apparently it's available for 7.99 CAD on sites such as amazon...

I have a Sensation running 2.3.4 on virgin mobile Canada. Using my stock battery I get approximately 3 hours screen time...so 3.5 hours of straight usage drains battery, or 2.5 hours of usage over 12 hours drains battery. Usage involves anything from browsing to games like "Paradise Island". This is with minimal phone calls (few minutes).

Thanks in advance.

I'm really curious to find out the difference between exynos/mail and the adreno/1.5ghz. If anyone had chance to compare them CRITICALLY (since they would both fly imo lol) could you share your opinions? Thnks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] samomamo:
I have both and to me TGS2 is faster and feels better.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] manekineko:
I have both this and a Sprint Galaxy S2 with the same Exynos/Mali is the international, and they seem fairly comparable.

I haven't noticed a big speed difference anywhere in day-to-day use in the few days that I've had both.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jay_993:
Which would you give the upper hand to?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] brian6685:
They are both fast enough
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jay_993:
Haha so true lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] manekineko:
In the couple of days I've had both, I haven't been able to notice any consistent difference in anything except benchmarks. They really seem pretty similar.

Thank you :) couple more questions! Does the hercules have korean as a language option? And which of the 2 sgs2 do you reckon has a better sound output through headphones? I'm trying to find out whether it has wolfson or yamaha dac lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] manekineko:
I'm pretty sure all Galaxy S2 use the inferior Yamaha DAC. You'll have to go another manufacturer or last-gen to get Wolfson as far as I know.

I can't check for you on stock on language, but my Hercules running Juggernaut has Korean as a language option.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jay_993:
Nah man wolfsons site specifically says that one of the variants will have their chip and I'm convinced its the hercules! Thanks for the info again :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] manekineko:
Really, that sounds interesting. You got a link?

If one of them would have it, it should really be ours, which is a real oddball in the family.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rudiepoo1:
Well it's not our phone that has the superior audio chip, we've got the Yamaha chip as anadtech.com had a review that tested the specs of this vs the Wolfson.

Is there any reason why vodafone and three have official 2.3.5 on kies but nothing for unbranded phones? Even the original SGS has it. I'm really beginning to regret getting this phone. Don't want to flash a Frankenstein package as would rather have a official release.
[Galaxy S II General] donalgodon:
The most obvious question arises:

Why?

There's literally no reasonable or logical disadvantage to using one of the 'leaked' ROMs, since they are typically identical to the 'official release' ROMs in every way.

People seem to think that the official releases are magically enhanced somehow. In reality, the 'leaked' ROM simply becomes the 'official release' a few weeks later with no changes whatsoever made to it.
[Galaxy S II General] scottishlad80:
If the XEU ROM was leaked I would put it on my phone, except it hasn't been. As I said I dont want any Frankenstein ROMS. I just find it weird there isn't even a leak of the a XEU ROM yet Vodafone and Three have released theirs on Kies.
[Galaxy S II General] donalgodon:
Again, same question. Why not just flash the leaked 2.3.5 and use the XEU CSC?
[Galaxy S II General] Endoran:
You're missing the whole point, it is kind of odd that an official one hasn't dropped nor a leaked version either. I for one am waiting for the official too.

Sent from my GT-I9100
[Galaxy S II General] scottishlad80:
Thank you, the point was being missed, I'm sure I had made it clear I didn't want a Frankenstein ROM, maybe we will hear something soon.
[Galaxy S II General] crazydiamond1970:
Yes I agree , the op is asking a question of why Kies has not released the rom for all phones. He is not asking about flashing. There are too many people that dont actually read.

My phone is unbranded and find this question interesting.
[Galaxy S II General] bimmerboii:
Waiting for official 2.3.5 on my xeu sgs2 as well. But im happy with the current 2.3.4 and not in a rush to get it
[Galaxy S II General] Frostfree:
I find it very strange as well that there isn't an official 2.3.5 firmware for unbranded XEU phones particularly when the vodafone and three customised firmwares would have been derived from a generic one.

I guess what makes it bearable is that 2.3.4 works perfectly for me and 2.3.5 doesn't add anything new apart from the blue overscroll glow which I'll rather not have.
[Galaxy S II General] donalgodon:
It's not that I didn't read or understand the question, just that the question itself is very strange given that there's no logical reason to 'regret' getting the device when we have access to everything the OP wants already. There's no difference between 'official' ROMs or leaked ones other than the waiting time involved. In fact, the chances of the 'Official' Kies flash screwing up your phone are probably greater than they are with Odin.

The OP isn't only stating that it's odd that the 'Official' ROM hasn't been released via Kies, which I'd agree that it is a bit odd, but that he's beginning to regret purchasing the device because of this. I don't deny that reality, but I do think it's a trivial reason to regret such a fine device, particularly given the regularity with which leaked ROMs appear for the GSII compared to other devices. That's all I'm saying.
[Galaxy S II General] Tehpriest:
Some people like to use the official route I.E. Kies or at least use the ROM specific to their location. Sadly some others just cannot accept this. I have given up asking about officially released through Kies roms a long time ago because inevitably there will be a post immediately suggesting flashing. If I wanted that info I would ask for it.
[Galaxy S II General] @MARK:
You may wish to plug your phone in tonight.

[Galaxy S II General] ronj1986:
Can you tell us which version of update is available. I would have to flash back to stock, but don't want to if its not the official 2.3.5 KJ2 for XEU devices.
[Galaxy S II General] Frostfree:
The point to this is that it's unprecedented and curious that branded phones will have firmware updates so far ahead of unbranded ones, however I agree it's a strange reason to regret buying the phone considering there's very little between both fw versions.

[Galaxy S II General] rasinell:
Where in UK are you? None on mine...
[Galaxy S II General] rasinell:
Personally I prefer to have stock (rooted of course) I usually check out n try the leaked versions though n have to say that imho there are subtle differences.. Like the second or so you see the home screen before the lock screen.. Official wxki4 doesn't have this for me where as the leaked versions I tried before release did
[Galaxy S II General] chrisjcks:
I too dont understand where 2.3.5 XEU is....

Ive seen quite a few 2.3.5 versions appear over past weeks, but no XEU.

I agree that it is very strange for some uk networks to release 2.3.5 via kies before we have a leaked version.

Maybe ICS is coming sooner than we thought, so no need for 2.3.5 ... Lol

XEU is usually one of the 1st leaks available, so it is strange.
[Galaxy S II General] rytenuff:
The Kies servers can only handle so much at a time. UK (o2) and UK (T-Mobile) haven't even had the 2.3.4 upgrade yet. I think these users would be a bit miffed if we UK (unbranded) owners got yet another upgrade via Kies (2.3.5) before they even got the older 2.3.4 we have enjoyed for several weeks now.
[Galaxy S II General] Dan_1991:
Yep - I got 2.3.5 last night via Kies... I'm on the 3 network.
[Galaxy S II General] rob77:
So is the 2.3.5 xeu on kies yet? I'm not at home at the moment so can't check
[Galaxy S II General] scottishlad80:
Think it's only three and vodafone, checked earlier and there was no xeu update.
[Galaxy S II General] @MARK:
Very odd this.

Last night I Kies told me that 2.3.5 was available to download. As I said when I posted, I left it till this morning as my battery was low and it was late.

Others have confirmed that they have been able to install 2.3.5 today

So I plugged my phone in (to a different computer) this morning and an upgrade was shown as being available. I was running 2.3.3

After the update I am now running 2.3.4!!!

So I have no idea where the 2.3.5 upgrade went.

I will go back to the other computer later and see what gives (this time with a full battery just in case)

I would suspect that the Stock Rom is built first then send to the phone companies to bloat and release a few months later.

The problem might be that something in the bloat might be causing problems with the branded ROM, so they got Samsung to fix it. Therefore the the software designers at Samsung would be more likely to use the latest ROM (or parts of) to solve the problem.
