Hi,

I dont know about androidcentral.com. But if you want to use paid apps from the market, try "Market Enabler". And yeah, you need to be rooted for it to work.

~Sankar
[Nexus One General] lbcoder:
Market enabler has been around since the beginning of paid applications. A few seconds worth of google search would have revealed it. Paid applications are available EVERYWHERE.
[Nexus One General] craigacgomez:
Market Enabler has not been updated in a while... Try Market Access instead... it's a rewrite of Market Enabler and works great with Froyo... http://amip.tools-for.net/wiki/android/marketaccess
[Nexus One General] michael.satish:
Yeah i do have market access, but the problem is when the google checkout screen comes after buy, my indian card is greyed out and there is an option to select another card but unfortunately there is no way to select India as the country.

So in my case, having only an indian credit card is impossible to buy apps.

Any workaroung guys other than getting myself a US applicable credit card
[Nexus One General] faizalmzain:
i bought 2 apps off the market using malaysian credit card with no problem.
[Nexus One General] michael.satish:
you must have selected Malaysia as country, Right?

i cant get the same with my card. May be, someone if has used an indian credit card can shed some light
[Nexus One General] fabler:
It's now officially available in india.
[Nexus One General] michael.satish:
Yeah saw that news, Still the buy button is greyed out. I think in a week time, I will be able to buy Apps.

It will be huge disappointment if SwifyKey goes to 3.99 again!
[Nexus One General] fabler:
actually I don't see paid apps in market. I am located in india.
[Nexus One General] michael.satish:
i use market access to see the paid apps but you need to have a valid credit card associated with the country listed under google to buy them. Thats why my card is invalid
[Nexus One General] fabler:
Yeah... But I was talking about google's announcement of market availability in 20 other countries including india.. They have announced it yesterday.. But I still can't see apps in market.
[Nexus One General] stickerbob:
I received this email from the Android market. According to this it's over the next two weeks, so I would not worry quite yet.

"Hello,

We're writing to inform you about some changes to Android Market that require your attention.

Effective today, developers from 20 additional countries (Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, Finland, Hong Kong, Ireland, Israel, Mexico, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Russia, Singapore, South Korea, Sweden, Switzerland and Taiwan) can now sell paid apps on Android Market. Over the next 2 weeks, users from 18 new countries (Argentina, Brazil, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Hong Kong, India, Ireland, Israel, Mexico, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Singapore, Sweden, and Taiwan) will be able to purchase paid apps from Android Market.

Please see the related post at Android Developer Blog here:

http://android-developers.blogspot.com/

We encourage you to visit the Android Market developer console at http://market.android.com/publish to make the necessary adjustments.

Thanks, and we look forward to continue working with you on Android Market.

Sincerely,

The Android Market Team

[Nexus One General] y2jamit:
There is a workaround for this problem :p

1. Go to checkout.google.com on your PC & enter your primary Gmail account details.Make sure this account is also your primary account on your Android phone.

2. You can now register your credit card and also enter an Indian shipping address.

3. Now go to the list of providers in MarketAccess and select any provider.I chose the very 1st option T-Mobile US.

4. Once the SIM has been emulated, go to market. You should now be able to see paid apps.

5. Select any paid app which you want to buy and you will automatically be directed to the Google checkout option where your card will be listed.Select the card and proceed to buy the application.

6. Almost instantly you will receive an email from Google confirming your order details and the application will start downloading from market.

I have purchased about 8 apps from the market using this method right here from India. I am really happy that I am able to support the wonderful Android community by buying the apps. Hope you enjoy your paid apps :D

hi all

recently i have just calibrate my battery.. and it works just fine

but now i found that it drains alot quicker using 3g signal compared to wifi...

the drain rate can take 10% /hour on 3g and only 4% / hour for wifi

why is that ?

is there something wrong on my gsm ?

btw am using leedroid froyo 2.0c and using latest radio 32.47.xxx

pls some one can tell me.. what to do ??any clues on this ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elmalote:
3G has more power drain than wifi so it's normal.

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] interqd:
oiya ? is it ?

coz on my iphone it was different... wifi was worse..

anyway.. is there anyway to slower battery drain ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elmalote:
My 3G has always had higher power drain than WiFi. There isn't really anything you can do about it other than to turn it off. Alternatively you can disable "Always on Data" under Wireless & Networks => Mobile Networks
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ronok:
Disable automatic sync. My data networks are switched off since last week. Now my battery lasts 2-3 days. I only use wifi at home.

You can also use juicedefender to control battery use and sync intervals.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r2b2:
This can also be caused by low/patchy 3G coverage in areas you are in.

If the 3G signal is weak then the handset will use a lot of power to try and keep the signal, as it prefers it over 2G.

If you don't mind the slower data speeds, switch to 2G/GSM Only as this does not use as much power (due to 3G cell breathing - Google it :) )
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marinierb:
One way to alleviate *some* of that is to set the phone to "GSM Auto (PRL)".

Go to dialer and dial "*#*#INFO#*#*". That should take you to the settings screen.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bnbasarir:
Definitely true. Your cell will consume much more power when you are outside of coverage area. The antena will keep searching the network according to your preference. So if you have 3G active all the time the phones internal antenna will keep looking for it and will drain your battery quicker.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] interqd:
okey..

thx all 4 d answers...

goo that to know there's nothing wrong with my signal or battery..

i think my problem is bad signal coverage.. as i always be in the shop which is so inside ....

but cant make it to edge/gsm as 2g speed is awful here in indonesia...

i think i'll just use juicedefender

thx..
[EVO 4G General] Dan330:
evo has beaten the iphone4

now .. it is now up against a family member (another sprint phone with android).

thats not true.. it is up against all Galaxy S phones including Epic... that is not fair.. but maybe it can pull it off!

http://www.fonearena.com/blog/22675/smartphone-championship-htcevo-4g-vs-samsung-galaxy-s.html

The EVO is loosing by a very small margin, but loosing!

Can XDA save the EVO???

ps.. sorry if this is a repost!
[EVO 4G General] ticklemepinks:

The nexus lost to the pre? That whole thing is wrong.
[EVO 4G General] chrishornet:
how is the palm pre better than the nexus and droid incredible, thats bs
[EVO 4G General] nxtech3:
200 hundred votes behind? weve got to step up!!!
[EVO 4G General] nebenezer:
I almost thought the same thing but when I saw the pre beat the N1 I stopped caring about that poll.
[EVO 4G General] PPCUserT:
i voted, but after seeing that ^^^^^ i'm completely uninterested. pre is a piece
[EVO 4G General] mallman:
got my vote in
[EVO 4G General] tatnai:
voted, saw this too - weird population voting in this thing; would still be nice to see EVO win.
[EVO 4G General] nfaust01:
Well i dont think the pre is a piece... sure it has some problems but until the android devices started getting really good that was my phone of choice. But yes the poll is pretty lame, the N1 is better than the pre. But i voted for the evo of course so hope we take the win.
[EVO 4G General] psych2l:
Why are all the superphones bunched up in the same division?! evo, iphone, galaxy s and droid x all together lol.
[EVO 4G General] othersteve:
This is a dumb competition; there are Galaxy S phones for four carriers I believe, while the EVO 4G is only available for Sprint. Of course more people will vote for Galaxy S, as more people own one!
[EVO 4G General] rileyd5:
voted for the evo as well. thanks.
[EVO 4G General] Dan330:
that is a strong point..

but.. consider this...

iphone 4 is a bigger "group"

but still got beaten by the EVO.

so.. we still have hope
[EVO 4G General] goldt:
Not completely agree with that article but Evo got my vote.
[EVO 4G General] kshelton:
I voted, hopefully the EVO can come back. My brother has a Galaxy S and honestly the EVO is a better phone. He plays with my phone all the time.
[EVO 4G General] Last-Chance:
Not true. Galaxy S phones were sold world wide. Most countries don't even have unlocked iphone 4's yet to sell. But there is a huge stock of galaxy s phones available in europe/asia/australia/etc.. That's the reason it's winning.
[EVO 4G General] Dan330:
I dont get your points...

:confused:
[EVO 4G General] Last-Chance:
you said iphone 4 had a bigger user group, which isn't true since iphone 4 is nation wide, while the galaxy s is world wide.
[EVO 4G General] Jus10o:
I hate it when the 2 greatest phones get put up with each other so soon in the poll. The final should be the HTC Evo and the galaxy. It makes the Evo look worse that it couldnt even make it to the semi finals. If you dont go back and see what it lost to.

If the Galaxy goes on, like it seems so far. Its not even gunna compare to the phone that will be in it.
[EVO 4G General] Dan330:
oh.......

1. iphone4 is in many countries

2. I was not comparing iphone4 with Samsung Galaxy S

3. I was saying.. EVO was able to beat the iphone (greater number), hopefully it can do same with the Galaxy.

but the EVO is still trailing :(

but not bad when you consider the actual number of EVOs out there. :rolleyes:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenixjn:
So I'm thinking, there are places that have a very low signal, contributing to the unnecessary drainage of the battery. For example, at my place of work, signal is almost 0 most of the time so I'm unable to receive any calls but there is WiFi available to which I connect. My question is, is there a way to power off ONLY the cellular radio leaving the others working? Airplane mode powers off all radios AND the mobile network switch controls the data only not the actual radio.

Any ideas?

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] MCbrian:
Seems off topic for this forum...but, yes. ;)

So far I haven't heard anything about WP7 that makes it sound like something I'd want to wait for... And I'm tired of missing the apps/features that have come to Android and other OS, and not WM.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] BeEazy10:
Oops sorry about being off topic, but yeah same here i hate missing out on the apps etc, but at the same time i like being able to customize my phone like crazy
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] chevy383surfing:
I hope to get one this weekend. That's if they are released on Friday as they are said to be.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] MCbrian:
G2 this weekend?? I don't think so...pre-order, maybe, but the latest rumors call for an Oct 16 launch.

Me too...which is one reason I'm not interested in WP7 (based on what I've heard so far, it'll be way-locked-down)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ilikepu:
yea i think it might be that way for a while until some chefs get a hold of it

but the specs i dont quite like im holding out for an android with specs like the evo or better
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] BeEazy10:
same here im going to wait it out, but rumor is that in europe WM7 phone coming out and about three to two weeks. so we should see some video on youtube soon
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] chevy383surfing:
Mine was pre-ordered. I got a text from T-Mobile 2 days ago letting me know to expect my G2 to arrive within 7 days.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] chevy383surfing:
After actually reading that Oct 16 launch article in the link above, the only thing I can figure is that the G2 will be officially released to all customers. New or existing customers. The T-Mobile guy told me on the phone that it would be arriving at my house around the 6th. So, I dunno.. It would not surprise me any if it didn't come out till November 16th. Nothing about the phone companies ever comes as a surprise. But, I am still having fun customizing my TP2 and messing around with the xandroid on the sd card.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] eric12341:
wow so there's people on here making off topic posts about the fisher price lookin OS too.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] BeEazy10:
well this thread haven't been moved yet... so yeah go somewhere with your lame jokes
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] BeEazy10:
It fun customizing the TP2 but i think it time for somthing solid. to much flashing and re-installing app gets annoying after a while
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] eric12341:
not a lame joke, its the truth
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] redpoint73:
Following articles say G2 may be on sale any day now, or may already be available:

http://www.tmonews.com/2010/10/t-mobile-gives-stores-permission-to-sell-the-g2-ahead-of-schedule/

http://www.tmonews.com/2010/09/radio-shack-dropping-the-t-mobile-g2-on-october-3rd/
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] redpoint73:
Not sure about the comment about not wanting to give up the ability to customize (like you can on the TP2). There is lots of customization available on Android, on an OS that is vastly smoother, more stable, and has tons of support from app developers.

One of the few things stopping me from going to Android, is the lack of a ATT-compatible handset with a hardware keyboard. And I might be willing to overlook the keyboard requirement.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] BeEazy10:
Typing on a phone with a big screen like the HD2 is not that bad.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] steviewevie:
I'm thinking of going with the Desire Z (virtually identical to the G2).

Don't think that's got a hardware keyboard though, more of an HD2 equivalent, perhaps ?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] redpoint73:
People with iPhones have the same description of the screen keyboard: "not that bad". The screen keyboard is never described as "good". "Not that bad" isn't good enough for me. A hardware keyboard is simply faster, more accurate, and therefore a superior input method. It does result in a slightly thicker form factor, but that's a trade-off that is more than worthwhile, IMO. Especially coming from the best hardware keyboard on a phone (the TP2), its pretty tough for me to make a switch to a screen keyboard.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] MCbrian:
People who pre-ordered started receiving the G2 late last week. And the G2 board at T-Mobile Forums has been going nuts for several days...crises rising and falling -- lots of drama. :rolleyes:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] wheeliemonster:
Try different kernels. I've found that even though I continue to use the same build (ShubCRAFT 1.5), when I swap kernels I get differing results with the BT headset.

Media Audio tends to work whatever, I've had no problems with that, but phone audio is a different matter.

I've been using michyprima's r11 kernel lately (noAXI) and that seems to just about work but I do have to make a call and press the Bluetooth button immediately initially to get it to work.

Even then, it's flaky, as when the phone rings and I press the answer button on my BT headset, it brings up the Voice Dialer dialog over the top of the phone app and doesn't answer the call. I've resorted to only connecting BT to media and not using it for the phone.

I appreciate that doesn't solve your problems - I've simply decided to try each and every kernel until it's fixed! I'm sure the wonderful devs here will get round to fixing it soon but I think they've probably got other things higher up on the priority list right now!

I'm using a Sony Ericsson MW600 BT headset btw.
