Nothing to do with Samsung Galaxy S II, the name of this forum.

I'm in New Zealand and would also love to try this app!

Thanks for the apk.
I'm really surprised that Google restricted it to the USA.
Currents is just a news aggregating service...these websites are available normally on the web from around the world...

Its the same with other mobile products... Voice/Wallet/Music etc and now currents...
at least there are ways around it...

Many thanks, Currents works fine on my phone.

anything special with new Google apk, please share?.

Excuse me if it's a dumb question, but what is this widget?

Noticed a green widget called TRAFFIC in my widget list that I swear wasn't downloaded by me...OR...Maybe it's a stock app that I just didn't notice before. Either way, it doesn't seem.to work. Could someone please enlighten me. Any one got any idea what this is?

Whilst I can confirm that it is a stock app, I can't say what it's for. I tried it and it just ran Google maps, showing my current location. I can only guess that it does exactly that, but with traffic density showing on the map (which is an option in Google maps).
Thanks for confirming...and reassuring that it's a stock app. By it's functionality, I'm guessing that maybe it's one of the less thought out apps on gs2.

[Q] Can't find GTA III in the market!

I bought GTA III on the release in the Android Market.
Now I switched Custom Roms and I wanted to download it again but I can't find it in the Market anymore.
How is that possible and how can I fix it?
Thanks !
Try using http://market.android.com and send it to your phone rather than downloading it through Android Market App.

Any other solutions? Otherwise I should get the app in an other way. Although I purchased it and I want updates..
Hmm perhaps market does some silly things like checking for your firmware details and/or kernel?... Try flashing another kernel for example (I highly recommend SiyahKernel and if it doesn't solve itself, just contact google support and ask them your question, they answer in matter of hours and try to be helpful as they can.

to be honest, nothing is safe once it's on the internet. Best way to keep files is in a vault built into the wall behind a cheap painting. And share stuff personally, not using postal services because they, like, sometimes check your mail...
Back on topic. I like the idea of google offering a dropbox alternative. With few to no adds, a simple app that integrates with the android ecosystem...
I love dropbox for giving a flawless user experience between different platforms, and for being free...i just hope google drive would live up to be even better.

Magna Carta (Jay-Z Album)

As some of you may or may not know, all Galaxy SIII, S4, and Note II users are eligible to receive a free copy of the "Magna Carta" album on July 4th, 3 days before anyone else. All you need to do is install the Magna Carta app from the Play store. First million downloads on a supported galaxy device will get it.
My question is, if we're running a ROM (in my instance, Synergy) will the app still recognize my device as an S4? How exactly does the app track your device type? I'm not sure what the screen looks like for non Galaxy users, but mine looks like this.

That's how mine looks. I don't think the PlayStore would even show the app if it weren't available for your device. The PlayStore on your phone won't, at least. We should be good to go!
I am on HyperDrive and it is the same as if I was on stock. Can't wait for MCHG

Question Amazon app hack

Check your Amazon app. Does every product show a commission link for the same jameslmes account?

Seems to be affecting multiple sony models. Reddit
I looked up that exact product and no, not having that.
https://a.co/d/fas6xbV
version 26.3.0.100
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.amazon.mShop.android.shopping
From the Google Play Store
Are you sure it isn't sponsored content from something you've visited? Your Google AD ID or Amazon itself?
Also, if Sony has their own "version" of the Amazon app like Samsung Galaxy Store does, that's also a possibility
Here's a Google search, those top Reddit links may be you I didn't check yet.

I have a xperia 1 mk3 with the same issue.
Seems like it's the US version of the latest android 13 official firmware being affected
Sony Xperia 1 iii US user.
Can confirm this is happening to me.
I reported this issue to Amazon, hopefully they can find a solution and get back to me.
