hi there,
just got my galxaxy tab 10.1v yesterday. and now i'm wondering how to find out in the market, which apps are written for honeycomb?
what i need is something like a filter-option, like with the ipad and the appstore. there the apps for the iphone and ipad are shown in different panes, and you can easily tell whether an app is for pad or phone.
thanks for your answers
Yes, a filter is definitely needed.
There is already a list of Honeycomb apps being built in this forum. It's pretty hard to miss - it's the thread right above yours

thanks for your answer.
i do know this thread above, and there's a similar one in xoom-forum, too.
but those threads need to be updated by xda-members, e.g. when they "randomly" discover an app. so if no xda-member is willing to update those threads, you'll never get to know the latest apps for your beloved tab
such a filter in the market would automatically show those apps.
If you sign-on in the market and you click on the App name it tells you in the application is compatible with your device.

Not even necessary. If it shows up in the Market, then it's compatible with your device (according to the developer). Non-compatible apps are not shown.
HC optimized is another story. What people really seem to want is a filter for tablet optimized (not just compatible) apps. But for reasons I've pointed out in another thread on the same topic this isn't likely to happen anytime soon.

Somebody should start a google docs spreadsheet and ppl can update it by themselves.
Digita1One was right. The best way to check compatibility for now is logging into your market account on your computer and click on the app name, on the left side right below the name of the app, it tells it's compatible with your tab or not. Just showing up in your market on your tab doesn't mean those apps are compatible. Hope this helps.

Actually, yes it does, when you're looking at the market from your device.

Actually, the market on my tab shows both Facebook and words with friends but then does not allow me to install them.

As I said in post #5, its up to the developer/publisher to code the compatibility of the apps in the market listing. Google doesn't police the market the way that Apple does. Most developers do a good job and mark their apps appropriately; a small number do not.
Hi! Is there any way to sort search results on the Google market e.g. after downloads or views or rating? Thanks.

Not currently possible in the app, but it should be possible on the website.
Yeah on the website it works but whyyyy is Google not integrating it in the app.
Isn't there the possibility to integrate this function in a mod somehow?
Thx
Sent from my NexusHD2 using xda app-developers app
Even on the website, the only options are by Popularity and by Relevance.
I wish i could sort by Rating, by Developer, alphabetically...
google seems to make it on purpose not to let you sort the results... MADAFAKAZ!! :x

It can barely find information about anyone asking about sorting results from play store. xda developers must be only ones who think outside the box.
How we can make it sort every search results as i want.
Like downloads, stars e.t.c.?
Sorting seems to have been removed from the website as well. Damn it Google, why must you turn everything to ****.
I've just had to reinstall after a full reset, and this has to be one of the worst aspects of the play store. I wish I understood programming, but is there anyone can make an app to fix this lack of sortability and lack of filtering?
I'm with @Newtoys, why does google always go one step to far and mess up perfectly good things?
Agreed: Google makes it Harder, not Easier!
Searching for a small business collaboration app
Only returns results with app that have the word "collaboration" in the title?
If I was a developer, I would be reluctant to ever get involved,
how are potential customers supposed to find your App if you don't give it a name that sound too much alike all the other apps in the same category.
And Furthermore: I don't care about the icon, I want to be able to scan an encapsulation of the capacity of the app... Who cares what color the button is going to be on my screen !!!
If Google is the "Ultimate Search Engine" why then can't I use a Google search to go through the Play Store Apps..?
NO !!! Instead it returns a listing of Other Web Sites and the Apps that they recommend ?
I am with you guys on this. Been wondering this for years now. I also found it weird that when I try and Google search this issue, this thread is the only one relevant to our problem. I'd be willing DL a modified play store app even. The worst is when I want to see about any new/updated apex themes and I have to browse a library of themes I've seen before.

lol, exact same f##@ up when im going thru Layers themes !! Usually we need the latest updated themes since they work as expected with updated AOSP Roms...but stupid google wont let me sort a list of apps by the 'last updated' date !!
Any 3rd party apps that browse the entire play store app catalogue and have the ability to sort them by their last updated date ?
same here... i want to sort apps by it size since the day start using play store but never see such feature or any proper useful sorting method in play store.. and when google for sprting apps, i end up right here... hope some1 has the solution for this... seriously...
It's said in the thread name. Is that normal or what should I do to get it right? I tried to search this subject but it's impossible to search as the search words are too common and I can't filter out the results I need. Please enlighten me in the subject matter...
Thanks in advance.
P.S. It was also hard to put this thread in appropriate forum, so if I have mistaken in that regard, mods please relocate the thread.
So nobody even knows is this normal or not?
Nobody uses Google Now?
So, 53 views - from which I guess 3 I can write on my own account - and nobody from 50 people uses Google Now... Really? That can only mean two things. Google has seriously f..ked up with the service, I mean if even one out of 50 people doesn't use it, it's definitely a fail. Or, a more probable reality is that not a single user from those 50 who actually has ever tried Google Now bothered to answer my question. This is EPIC fail, dear XDA-Developers Forum. It's not the community it used to be, where it was meant that users support each other. And that's really sad.
When I say view email it opens the stock mail app.

Thank You for Your effort! I am sorry, I wasn't being accurate in my original post. I was referring to the situation when I have a "package shipped" card in Google Now and there is a link below that - "View email". When clicking that one, I am redirected to browser instead Gmail app... I have Gmail app set as default for emails.
UP. Please someone test it...
Anyone?!

If anyone is interested adfree can also be downloaded directly from the developer's website - adfree.bigtincan.com/adfree.apk. Unfortunately as I'm a new poster I cannot post the above as a URL.
Can i with this app ignore browsers ? I want ad free without browsers, it's possible ? If yes, how to ?
thank you very much...

question. I installed this yesterday, everything is great, up until i tried playing anime videos from my dolphin browser and i cant play those videos anymore, tried to uninstall this app and even the browser and still cant play videos, the site will not play the video if there is an adblocker. What do you think can fix this?

If I understand your situation correctly, you:
Installed AdFree
Used AdFree to apply the custom hosts list
Had problems with playing videos from one (or more) web sites
Removed AdFree
Continue to have the same problems with playing videos
If this is roughly the sequence of events, then you should not need to un-install AdFree.
In fact, uninstalling AdFree probably left your hosts file in its modified state (with ad-related sites still blocked).
Instead, you can click on the Revert button in AdFree. This will return your hosts file to its original condition. This also ought to restore joy to whatever web sites are finding AdFree disagreeable.
This should allow you do run ad-free most of the time (click Download & Install Hosts), and disable ads just long enough to view the videos you wish (click Revert).
Hi all. I see this thread has been quite for quite some time. I am hoping someone can help. I have been a user of AdFree for a while. I noticed that one website I frequent is impacted in that I can no longer see the comments section of that particular website. I added the domain in question to the "white list" but that hasn't helped. Can anyone who understands this sort of thing help? I love the functionality it provides, but not being able to comment on my favorite site is an issue. Anyone? Thanks!!
@ShermCraig The workaround I use in these rare cases is to open AdFree, and tap the "Revert" button. Then I can do all the usual stuff on the offending web site (or app). After I'm done, I once again open AdFree and tap "Download & Install Hosts" to regain ad-protection.
Yes, it's ugly, but it is actually pretty quick, but I did promise only a workaround, not a solution.
Question: What do you mean when you say "added the domain in question to the 'white list'"? I don't see that AdFree supports any kind of whitelisting.

I've actually done this and yes it does work temporarily. Unfortunately (for me) I visit the site so frequently that it becomes too much. Trying something else.
In answer to your question: http://adfree.bigtincan.com/ - log in, and there is an exception list.
thanks
I sometimes get a notification which tells me about various applications that can be downloaded, I find these notifications extremely annoying, not only because I hate advertisements and put a lot of effort into stopping then on my desktop PC which I am very experienced with, but on the HTC one, when I get one of these notifications it uses the default notification sound, which makes me think I have a text message (sometimes at ridiculous times of the day) but instead it's telling me about star cam or some other crappy app. In this respect the advertisements are worse than on my desktop PC, as I never turn the mobile off in case I am being contacted, so the possibility of getting these annoying notifications is 24/7.
I don't know why, but I never had this problem on my htc desire HD, or the tytn 1 and tytn 2, only my htc one.
I need to stop these advertisments! I have tried going into "App info" for google play store to disable "show notification" but I don't seem to be able to find it except for "notify me about updates to apps i've downloaded" now this doesn't seem like it, because that only counts for apps I already have and only for updates. My problem is for notifications about apps I never had, also the app updates notification never seems to make a sound (Which is good) but this other notification uses the default notification sound as I stated before.
I have come across various apps that supposedly stop ads, but I don't want to get my phones resources bogged down with apps that may or may not do what I want and might not even work anyway, but I need some help please!

sigh.. always someone suggests google. By that statement this website could not exist at all, everything could be googled, the whole point of a forum is a more comprehensive and interactive 'forum' with which to ask questions and get detailed answers.
as I said.. I already know about adaway and other apps which stop ads. I have already done a "simple search"
https://www.google.co.uk/#q=android+play+store+app+advertisements&spell=1+
first page 10/10 all results come back with different apps you can download. None of them specify this particular problem and may or may not be generic ad removers.
Clue: description of number 1 app result :
The Google AdSense app provides an easy way to access key data from your AdSense and AdMob account. Access reporting features anywhere, directly from your mobile phone. The first version of the app gives you access to: the key earnings information (that are now also accessible via widget), top custom and URL channels, ad units and sites reports, payment alerts.
Please note: YouTube revenue and revenue from the legacy AdMob are not available in this app.

Wrong.
This is a development forum, not a help desk. Take the Google search course, it will help you immensely.
Also, you posted in the wrong section. Questions go in Q&A and not here.

It was already clearly established in one of my posts that I did in fact do research, that's also a fact, please refer to the above post. Before coming here I already checked the first 10-20 links which were all apps.
Obviously research yields results eventually, which is why I already tried that first and posting here is an extension of that and also another method of "research" which by the way is always my last resort, not because I don't like forums, because I do, but I always do my best to avoid the obnoxious and repetitive "google it" responses you get, even when it's obviously not valid... and that's a fact too.
I think that these aren't Google ads... This happened to me before after installing a app. I don't remember what app it was but the app was sending me ads for crappy ads... Check the apps you installed since you started getting these notifications
