I noticed the 10cent app sale and figured this is great for pre-buying (on the cheap) apps to use on the Prime! New deals every day, what do you guys think is worth pre-buying with the Prime in mind?

I'll be updating the apps as soon as I have a chance (which should be before the actual Market page goes up) every day. Some of the apps aren't as obvious, so if I'm missing something let me know what it is! The apps in bold are the ones that should be decent on the Prime IMO. Mostly this thread is to let people know what's on special before their page updates without having to hunt down the deals! Enjoy!

In case you are wondering, apps are linked to you Google account, not your device, so you can easily download (IF the app is compatible on the Prime, and with ICS coming out soon most apps should be) these to your Prime once you get it!

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tdrussell:
nvm sorry :-|

Good idea, thanks for the tip.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nook-color:
Here's a Link to the 10 apps for sale today

Any idea what the details are of the offer. Are they rotating 10 apps a day, or is it these 10 apps for sale, and that's all she wrote.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SwissyChief:
The picture of the sale on the App Market has Fruit Ninja, Tetris, ect, all apps that are NOT included in today's deal. My guess is that they eventually will be, thus we get 10 new apps every day! Jump on these while they're hot!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tdrussell:
can anyone tell when this started? Is today the first day?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SwissyChief:
Yup started this morning. You haven't missed anything. I'll try to update the thread as the new deals come in.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tdrussell:
You're the (assuming) man.

But your date format is backwards, eh? ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] farplaner:
So I have the Prime preordered. My current phone is incompatible with Asphalt 6 (got the rest though!). Is there anyway that I can bypass the incompatibility notice and buy it first until I get my hands on the Transformer Prime?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] brlowe:
How do I purchase Asphalt 6 when it is not supported on the Transformer?

For $0.10 I would like to buy it in case they ever support the transformer.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Thanks for the tip..just downloaded, sketchbook, asphalt 6 and field runners..all for.30€ lol
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] skeptikal:
So I ordered a bunch of these for my Evo. I don't suppose they will transfer to my Prime when it finally arrives will they?

Thx for the link either way.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tdrussell:
Why not? Market acct is not device specific...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Smyc151:
I did the same exact thing :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] adiliyo:
i bought a few as well, i'm glad now i haven't cleaned out any reference to the various android tablets/phones i've owned over the years, i'm fairly confident one of the 9 devices in my account will be compatible with the apps they put on sale :p
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ectoplasmic:
I noticed these apps are also 10 cents in the Amazon Appstore. I assume we can install the Amazon Appstore on the Transformer?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] adiliyo:
i don't see why not, it's worked on every other HC tablet i've owned. :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rubi76:
Amazon App Store works on any tablet.

A few ways of downloading the apps you buy today on your tab:

-Open the Android Market page on a computer browser, sign in, find all the apps you have installed. Click on them and you can install on any device you know (app will start to download magically on your device)

-Otherwise, find the apps on the market on the tablet itself, and, provided you are using the same google account, install. This takes a bit longer.

There might be a chance some apps are NOT compatible with the tablet... in that case the market will not let you download them.

The only thing you can do in this caseis save the APK from the phone and put it on the tablet to install....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] skeptikal:
Thanks. Glad to know that you can do that.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] alayambo:
How can I download them if the Prime is going to be my first Android product? I can't send it to a device :confused:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kristovaher:
It seems some other apps are showing up as 0.10 EUR as well, including the absolutely amazing Star Chart. I also noticed things like Fruit Ninja and this read later applications pro version. I suppose they will show up as todays orders at some point.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ectoplasmic:
It is indeed a new set of apps each day:

Starting today for the next 10 days, we’ll have a new set of awesome apps available each day for only 10 cents each.

http://googleblog.blogspot.com/
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tdrussell:
awesome! now if they would just put today's up!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kristovaher:
It should be already up, if you look at Top Paid apps, there are many ones that are 0.10 EUR, including Fruit Ninja, Star Chart and Reckless Racing and more. Of course for some you have to go through many pages to find them.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Bimboy:
Strange. Mine is still showing yesterday's apps too, under the "10 days of offers" link in the market. However, I got "Flick Golf" for a dime, by going to the games portal. (I love golf games) :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kristovaher:
Also a note about Reckless Racing, a game that is also for sale for 0.10 EUR and is one of the better racing games for Android, it does not work on Android 4.0. Force closes the moment you start it. But I personally hope they'll fix it, I doubt they'll drop Android 4.0. Of course there's still time until Prime gets 4.0.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tdrussell:
Is the picture of James Brown in a santa hat starting to creep anyone else out a little?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ectoplasmic:
I don't see any new apps on the main page either. If this is anything like the Steam holiday sales, it will switch over around 9am Pacific time.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Cortexlegeni:
Hello,

I pre-ordered a Prime, but I have no Android device for the moment. How can I buy those apps now, because it ask me for an android device before I can buy any of them.

Thanks:)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SwissyChief:
Make a Google account, add your credit card to it, go to the Market page:

https://market.android.com/details?...RfYXBwc19DQV9fMV9wcm9tb18xMzIzMjIwNDY3MjYzIl0.

And buy the apps you want. Once you get your device just go to My Apps on the Market and they'll be there for you to download.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ectoplasmic:
He's saying you can't buy unless you have a device that has accessed the Android Market. If that is true, I guess he's out of luck.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tdrussell:
This is true AFAIK. I always run into this when i try and install apps from market.android.com after wiping my phone...if i don't accept market TC's on my phone and wait a few minutes, the site will tell me i have no associated devices.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SwissyChief:
Oops, ya I guess it's just not possible then... :/ lame...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] r_nt:
Yeah. I try not to look directly at it. Whose idea was that?!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ectoplasmic:
New apps are up!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] adiliyo:
for some reason they cancelled my minecraft purchase yesterday saying they couldn't deliver it to me, i don't have an android device at the moment, but still have about 12 devices linked to my account, so i'm able to go through the purchase.

i bought it again today, and it's the only one that has had that happen. anyone else?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ectoplasmic:
That would be unfortunate if they insist on having an active device for the sale to be completed. That hasn't happened to me, but then I have two active devices.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kristovaher:
Todays apps seem to be ADW Launcher EX, Talking Tom Cat 2, Homerun Battle 3D, Reckless Getaway, Can Knockdown 2, Tetris. I am sure there are others, but these are the ones I found.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] digimuzik:
Also, Tuesday's apps are no longer 10c. Looks like they each last a couple days or so. Get 'em while they're hot!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BiGMERF:
im getting every app they put on sale...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kristovaher:
Heh, why? Are you getting every free app on the Market as well?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] digimuzik:
There's just something about getting something for a minimum of 90% off that makes you think "I gotta have it!" even if it's for some day later down the road. :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kristovaher:
Yeah exactly. I am glad Transformer Prime does not have 'pre-order discounts', or we would wait until 2013 for our tablets.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ectoplasmic:
Once I began to realize how apps seem to always stay associated with my account, forever, I'm much more careful to avoid adding junk. Same thing with Amazon's Appstore. Crappy apps that survived for 10 seconds on my device will be listed on my account permanently.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] digimuzik:
Not true... at least on Amazon. If you go to 'Your Digital Items' and then apps, you should be able to delete them from your account permanently (though I haven't tried it yet, so I'm not sure how well it works).

That is, however, true and, indeed, annoying in the Google Market. Wish they'd make a way to get rid of them permanently. I'm still conscious about the apps I add to my account.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MrKaon:
that called investment
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SwissyChief:
Hahaha I have to admit that for about a split second I considered buying that coloring book IN CASE I'd be having kids any time soon... Which totally isn't the case! I'm 24 and kids would absolutely ruin my life... on the bright side I would have been able to provide them with cheap entertainment in the form of tablet apps...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ectoplasmic:
Wow, that feature must be new. Look at this thread:

http://www.amazon.com/forum/amazon ...Page=1&cdSort=oldest&cdThread=Tx1APBL025P0XJ5

I'm sure that I visited the app page even within the last week, and there was no

delete

option under actions. Regardless, that is sweet. It will make me lean towards the Amazon Appstore over the Android Market, simply because I can manage my apps list and remove junk apps.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] doeboy711:
ADWLauncher, will it be worth the buy on the Prime? I have used many custom roms on my phones and have used Launcher Pro becasue it was free lol. Since everyone else has used it on phones, I was wondering how well would it work on the Prime.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] adiliyo:
while i like the aesthetic design of the HC launcher better than adw, there is a 10 million percent increase in performance (on the TF101 and galaxy tab at least) when using a LWP and adw vs a LWP and the HC launcher. so if you like lwp and stuff, i'd get it just because it runs so much smoother than stock.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tdrussell:
interesting observation. I don't have a 101, but in some ways i would be reluctant to ditch the HC launcher...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] adiliyo:
when i had my tab(s) set up with the themed home screen sections (hubs) i used adw because it made it actually useable. for basic use, the HC launcher on the prime show little to no lag even with LWP, so you should be fine using it (i most likely will keep the stock launcher on my prime) so long as you don't want to tweak out the homescreen completely. :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] doeboy711:
Well I bought it, so I guess I can have choices when I try and customize it
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kristovaher:
Todays selection seems to be less exciting, but what I've found seem to be Need for Speed Shift, Game Dev Story, My Beach HD, Farm Frenzy, Spirit HD, Sentinel 3 Homeworld, Baseball Superstars 2011.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] digimuzik:
Also Shazam Encore. Compare to SoundHound. :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ectoplasmic:
New Apps are up early today! :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] adiliyo:
these deals are getting less and less interesting... :\
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ectoplasmic:
On a positive note, new apps are up:

https://market.android.com/details?id=apps_timed_promotion
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] doeboy711:
They put asphalt 6 back up, seriously with some many apps you put something that has already had a day back up.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tdrussell:
and paper camera again
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] digimuzik:
Just to clarify... People are complaining about 10-cent apps? 90-98% off? I'll give Google a little bit of leeway here and let them repeat an app or two.

In other thoughts, I wonder what the credit card per-transaction fee is on all those 10c transactions...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ectoplasmic:
Actually they're commenting that some apps are being repeated, which is true, not complaining about the apps.

Credit cards get a percentage, usually about 3%, so not sure how that would work for 10cent transactions.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] spalding1028:
Just a heads up. Simcity Deluxe, backstab hd, jenga, raging thunder, and Captain America are also $.10 but not listed on the sale page.

(kinda ticked that the evo3d isn't supported for backstab)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ectoplasmic:
Before the sale shows on the main page, the apps are priced at 10cents in advance, usually first thing in the morning, so this would be normal.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] trekkie1701:
This is so frustrating!! Lots of apps and games I would love to pick up for my future tab but can't as I have a really low spec phone!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kristovaher:
I have a Galaxy Nexus and intend to buy Prime and I can't get Backstab nor Sims 3 nor Sim City?

Brilliant.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BongoBong:
are you able to even see them in the market? I don't see them in the 10c app list or when I search for them
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ectoplasmic:
New apps are up. It does seem the list is getting weaker. Hopefully they will finish strong.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kristovaher:
I see them from browser but not the Market app. I bought Sims 3 because my old device supported it (though I don't have the device anymore).

Google really should make it possible to a) purchase gifts and b) purchase without a device (since they are device independant).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] trekkie1701:
As long as there is a healthy warning it's not going to work on your device I don't see a problem with this. I'd imagine they are concerned about people buying apps they can't use.

Anyway it's a mild annoyance to watch these apps that could be useful on a tablet pass me by but nothing to get upset about. I have scored several apps purely with the prime in mind.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ectoplasmic:
Agreed that they should let you buy apps, regardless of your device situation. They should also let you remove apps from your list, which is a capability that Amazon added to their app store recently.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Arun01:
Backstab HD looks great on my XOOM. But I can't wait to see them on my Prime.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] doeboy711:
yeah true, but then other people who might buy it and then it doesn't work will get pissed off and complain. To many users are not as proficient as any of us xda guys and won't know it can't run on there device properly.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SwissyChief:
Hey sorry guys, been super busy with finals to update these before they're officially up on the market page (for those who want these deals as early as possible without the fuss of going through 50 pages of apps)! Updated today's apps, and it seems that a couple of them aren't compatible on my SG2. Is there anything I can download to make them available and downloadable?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] DreadPirateDan:
I must say - I am quite confused and frustrated with this sale and my phone. Prior to the sale, games such as order and chaos, backstab, nova 2 and the like were in my phone market (I know this because I have been hovering around the buy now button for order and chaos but been hoding out incase it jumped on the sale) and now that backstab has gone on sale, they have all dissapeared without a trace :\ . So not happy, but oh well what can you do.

(besides flash cm7 and see if MIUI is just messing with me::confused: )

EDIT:

So flashing to cm7 worked - I have now purchased backstab :) huzzah,

EDIT 2:

lol it doesn't work though. Comes up as incompatible in game. But hey, for the 10cent asking price I can't exactly complain until some patched are made for it :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lucasmine:
Is it possible to change my locale settings on ICS the way previous bilds of android did?

I can't seem to find a way to make my dialer shor the nu,ber the way we use here im Brazil...

Here we use like 2295-3366 and in the phone its always like 22 9533-66

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gale6:
I'm trying to seize the android market's sale but the problem is that my GN isn't rooted and i don't plan to any time soon so i can't access the paid apps in the market in my country. I tried using my rooted N1 and it worked for some apps but non of were on the sale! Every discounted app (10 cents) is incompatible with my N1 :mad:.

Iv'e tried changing my sim to a UK sim but no luck :(. I got that idea from this old thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=699693

If you have any solutions :confused: that would be much appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] watso4183:
change your N1 build.prop to show its a Galaxy nexus device.

I don't have the build.prop handy, but google is your friend.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fdm1:
I downloaded a handful of the sale apps on my N1... Odd that yours wouldn't.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gale6:
Thank you for your replies, oddly my N1 decided to install the paid apps so I'm getting all of them :).
[Galaxy S II General] gee2012:
My usb port in the phone got loose and wiggled and i had problems when charging and connecting to the pc the last few days. Brought it to a service center today for repair.

Did more people experience this problem?
[Galaxy S II General] EleCtrOx666:
I currently have a strange problem, don't know if you mean the same but my USB keeps connecting and disconnecting while I move it very little, I already blew on both the cable and the port but it always keep disconnecting/reconnecting. I don't really know if I should bring it to a repair center, currently I'm just trying to put in in "charge mode" and don't move it anymore.
[Galaxy S II General] gee2012:
Yes i had the same, but my english is not 100%.

If i were you i would bring it to a servece center for repair, it should not take long. It`s listed as a quick repair job.
[HD Mini General] Sinner36:
I had this HTC Mini that it was working very well and i had no problem with it. but suddenly, one day, I woke up and I found it off. it had turned off automaticly. i turned it on and it worked, with no problem. but after a few days, it got worse. this time, when it automaticly turned off, i wasn't able to turn it on right away. but i could turn it on, a few hours later.

after that, it worked well for almost 2 weeks, but then it turned off again and this time i couldn't turn it on, at all. I tried everything I could. I changed its ROM and used the last update. I also used its general ROM. I tried reseting it. but none of these did any go0d for me and it's still off and I can't trun it on.

it's nessecary to mention this... when I push the button to turn it on, it's not like the phone react nothing, like it's dead. it works and reacts. it turns on and the white screen for turning on and saying welcom, shows up. but after that, it stops on this white screen and does nothing. it always reacted like that but after almost 5 minutes, it would turned on completly. but now, it doesn't turn on, no matter how long i wait and keep it on with that white screen.

plzzzzzz help me, what's wrong with this cellphone??! :(

P.S: I think it's a hardware problem, because almost 3 months before happening all these, i had an accident while HD mini was in my pocket.
[HD Mini General] SonixTheBishop:
Now what rom are u using?

anyway if we will not resolve it the best thing will be this: install the lastes OFFICIAL rom for our devices and carry it to repair...
[HD Mini General] Sinner36:
I tried the official rom, but it didn't work either. I carried it to a repair man, but he couldn't do anything about it. and here, in my country, the repair men are not go0d enough to fix any difficult problem.

Hey Guys,

I wanted to know which is the best custom rom for Samsung Galaxy S2 currently with all the features and the best battery life. I saw many roms but was unable to decide to go for which rom. Thanks in advance for the same.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] yasars:
my favorite WAJKIUI ROM .... fast, and better battery
[Galaxy S II Android Development] djayyy:
Agree with above plus if you add setcpu you can get amazing battery life.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] redolf:
check rom with siyah kernel 2.3 ,very fast medium battery life...if you want better battery life get sensation rom by crysis with siyah 2.1:)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sam180881:
I am always on internet due to which the battery life of my Samsung GalaxyS2 is very poor. If i install a custom rom which has a better battery life will be very good.
