The battery in my phone (Epic 4g touch) died last night listening to Sirius while waiting at the dentist. Luckily I had my tp and mobile hotspot with me. I hopped on the market to grab the app and low and behold it was not there. What gives? Why are some apps available for certain devices and not others? Would copying the .apk from my phone to the /system/apps folder work? My tp is not rooted (yet) and up to date with all teh firmware.
Can't believe that app is not supported, really bullsh*t if you asked me. Give this app a try: https://market.android.com/details?...t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImFpci5TaXJpdXNYTWZsYXNoIl0. It apparently opens the flash login page in your browser.
Ya wont work on the Transformer, you have to use the one that goes thru the internet browser, sucks for sure

Wow that app had a lot of bad reviews. It's really a shame the app isn't available. Why would this app be available for my galaxy s2 but not for this device? Aside from resolution would it really be coded differently?
SiriusXM 2.0 app
Just installed on my Transformer TF101 and it works fine. IDK if it works with Canadian accounts.

I just updated the siriusxm app and now it works. It says v 2.00 in the corner just like d2kplus said. My prime is rooted and running stock. I copied the app from my phone to my sd card since i could not find it in the market.

Hi,
According to skype blog, skype for android is available for all android phones with version 2.1 or higher
http://blogs.skype.com/garage/2010/11/skype_101_for_android.html
When I search for skype on the market I don't find it, when I try skype.com/m I get a message saying that my handset is not yet supported. However my X10 has 2.1 Eclair which by all means meet skype requirements. Any idea?
None at all... I installed Skype just fine. Maybe it's a geographical thing?
I'd stick the apk in my dropbox for you, but I can't remember where android stores them, and I can't extract the titanium backup one without the pc (I'm not at home right now).
EDIT: ok, figured out how (they're in /data, not /system) but is it allowed? Since it's a free app there should be no problem, right guys?

I guess so, I know many did put the .apk files here as long as it is free from the developer, we're against piracy
I've tried it as soon ac I updated my phone, but every time I start the app it says that it will not work with my task manager, so took it off

is there any fix for the market to make me able to find skype?
Just search for Skype apk online. That's what I did. You're right in that it doesn't appear in market and Skype's site says it's not available. I had that issue too.
Seems to take longer to sign in after 2.1 but works fine otherwise.
I used Appbrain and installed from my desktop browser using the web installer its so much easier and pushes directly to your phone no opening of market app required. As for Skype i find i like the way it works with the x10 i always have skype set to away on my desktop so when i sign in on my phone its kind of like a remote skype because it doesn't log me out from the desktop application.
Also from what ive noticed the notification sound when someone sends you a message only plays on the last device you logged into, so for example if i am on desktop Skype then later log in on my x10, Skype will mute desktop notifications and the phone notifications will play and vice versa kinda interesting.
In all i like the fact that we can make voice calls just wish we could accept video even though we cant send (no front facing camera, app limitations I'm guessing?). Skype is the whole reason I bought an X10 in the first place. Sorry for the long first post by the way, I just thought id add my two cents and experiences with skype for x10

I installed the gingerblur rom onto my atrix and was wondering if anyone could link me the apk for the blockbuster app... i looked through the atrix system dump from stock rom and cant seem to locate it.. thanks to anyone who can help...
Market Link
Is it not the same app as the one from the market linked above?
Its not showing up for me.. maybe since I'm running gingerblur.. but I got a apk to install.. thanks though for responding..
Any mod can delete this thread if wanted.. all is well now..

blockbuster app working on unrooted 1.2.6
Hi i was actually i think the first to the the blockbuster app working on my Atrix. i was on stock 1.2.6 unrooted and i was able to watch ondemand blockbuster movies, they sent me 3 $5 credits twords future rentals, used one to try it out and worked great, signing up on the actual site was kinda confusing but not that bad. but back to the point, i just today used the gladix program, to root, and now it says it says "detected device rooted" cannot play certian types of video(dont know what that is , or means). havent tried renting yet with root.
Can't download movies if are rooted - we think

I think that if the Blockbuster site detects that you have rooted your phone, it won't allow you to download the movies. I read about someone who rooted and then unrooted before the first update, and Blockbuster still gave him that message. Movies would not download. However, after this 2nd update for the Atrix software, he no longer got that message, and the movies did download. He wasn't rooted again, though.
Movies don't play over HDMI cable?
I'm not rooted and did download a movie from Blockbuster to try it out. Rather than watch in on my phone, though, I wanted to use the HDMI cable to watch it on the TV screen. However, I got an error message and the movie would not play.
Has anyone else experienced this? Are they only allowing the viewing on the handset itself?
That doesn't seem fair, if you paid for the movie. What is the HDMI cable for, anyway? If I download a movie to my computer, I can use an HDMI cable to show the movie on the TV. Shouldn't this be the same?
Could someone post the apk, please? I've got a BB account and wanted to throw the app on my captivate. The market link above results in an error.
Horray for ginger bread!
anyone ever find a good source for this apk ?
How to use HDMI cable to show movie ??? if i download movie to my PC
I'm wondering why there are a lot of games that i can't get on this phone that i could get on my fascinate... It seems that anything the fascinate can run the rezound would run even better. Is there a specific reason i can get them? Is there a work around?
Thanks
Sent from my Rezound using XDA App
Which games? Do you still have your fascinate? If so, make a backup and transfer it.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk
some of the games are not supported due to the screen resolution. Not all games run on different screen reso's.
It's not just games, there are several apps that don't work unless you grab the apk, for example Groupon.
Ahh OK, thanks. Well hopefully more apps will be updated to support it. It wasnt necessarily games i already had... I just noticed that some of the 10¢ apps weren't showing up on my rezound that were showing up on my wife's Droid pro and my old fascinate.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA App
They are different $0.10 apps each day, as well as for different devices.
I asked groupon, and either their staff is incompetent or the email went too low on the totem pole. People asked me if my display for the rezound (when I told them it was a rezound) was QVGA, and refused to respond to the emails.
Does anyone have a link to the current groupon apk or a way to download that even though they simply don't list it for my phone?
with games, if our phone does not have support for it then it will not show up for us(like Asphalt 6 HD - no graphic support).
sometimes though, google or the dev will remove an app for any given reason. of course, when this happens you could always do a web search for "filename. apk" 4shared.com is a popular site that hosts. apk files(and they also have an app in market)

I was bummed on this one. I bought Asphalt 6 and its not compatible for this device. I'd love to drop the APK in this to see if I can get it working.

I didn't think this was piracy, they are running a promotion. If it is, I can take it down.
its not promotion..Its the new way to make money off paid by giving it for free......developed by Getjar....its not piracy at all,I dont know how it works....I downloaded BW from there long time ago and still running rock solid...
Guys, this is not piracy, it's a new "Gold App Sale" by Getjar. There's some great apps in there too!
the only thing i cant get to download on the TP is Tapatalk
edit: anyone know a quick download code?
Seems like some cool apps here not sure how to get them on the touchpad though as it doesn't seem to be a supported device.. Any ideas? Where do I get the getjar app I don't see it on their page anywhere...
use the default android browser and make sure you have it set to mobile. when you browse to http://m.getjar.com it will auto download the apk and you can install that way

Same here, get the message "no compatible downloads for unknown android 2.3"
Sent from my Touchpad using xda premium
I was able to get Tapatalk, although it gave me an error the first time I tried.
I was also having issues downloading at first using Dolphin browser, but using the stock browser it worked just fine. The first time I tried to DL an app, it said I needed GetJar and linked me to the file.
do you think you can use your PC browser and the quick download code and post it here? what device do you have it set to? I'm currently set on "Free Download".

Love the folks that cry piracy w/o FIRST checking the link. Stop policing unless you're a mod.
so.... how they make money on such promotions "paid for free"?
those apps are modified or all-the-same like orginal android market versions?

they're different in the fact that they are currently updated very slowly... getjar just made it available to have developers push their updates... before, you had to know there was an update and redownload the app... i got my first push yesterday, so i see it's working
getjar makes money by sponsors... you'll see them throughout the site
Same problem as other, when i search/enter the code for the app (in my case it's Tweetcaster Pro, Tapatalk and Splashtop Remote Desktop) i get the "no compatible version for my device" text which is ridiculous because i have a Captivate and the Android Market shows those apps just fine. Any ideas? Can someone post the .apk i mean if they are free its not illegal right? And also if i get the .apk, will it update automatically when with the new push system from GetJar?

Thanks, it only worked for Splashtop, TweetCaster Pro and Tapatalk keep saying the device is not compatible i mean wtf!?!? I tried with GS II and Galaxy Nexus and both say not compatible. Anyone that has already downloaded Tapatalk from the GetJar app can tell me the device they are using and the name code so i can modify the Build.prop and download the app.
ro.product.model=GT-i9100
ro.product.brand=samsung
it has worked with everything in getjar... i have a crash here and there but they all have downloaded...
if you've changed this... reboot... it took awhile for google's android market to see the change... i probably restarted 3 times... even went into webos once and back to cm7...
the only thing i've had a problem with working at all (it did download) is Advanced Task Manager
i get:
Sorry! The application Advance Task Manager (process con.arron.taskManager) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
edit:
just tried another app... Aces Jewel Hunt downloaded and installed but closes right after the splash screen opens
Yhea i tried with that. i wasn't able to download the Splashtop before changing the build.prop and after changing that and rebooting i could. But i couldn't download the other two apps, i mean i even tried going on the browser to getjar.com and changed my device to the i9100 and even there i can't seem to get the code for the download because i get the same message that my device isn't compatible and im talking about the PC browser. Im gonna change again to the i9100 on the phone and wait a day or so and try again from the app, i don't understand why i have to do all this the app should be compatible.
Thanks again for the suggestions though
Here is a link to Cablevisions Optimum app that allows you to stream live TV for Cablevision customers. The one on the Play store does not work on the Transformer prime but this one does.

this works on my rooted gt n7000

on my non-rooted nexus 7
I followed the same directions and after logging in it asks me to update my version and that it's too old
do I need to be rooted for this to work ?
Can we get a modified app which will let us use external displays?
Amazing!! Thank god!
I am so happy, im sitting here watching sports center on my Tablet (Zenithink C93 ZTPad)
When I tried to use live TV feature with the App in google play it says that my device is not supported. This one works perfect on my 10" tablet.
now im really happy. because this is much nicer to watch on than my 4.5" phone screen.
The next thing I need to figure out is how I can watch the optimum app on the road. (not on my home router). They say to use VPN, I can see that working, however Id like a simpler option, if at all possible.
Anyone have any ideas?
Finally Cable vision releases it! Two years late...lol
Inserted 20¢ for the first three minutes
uh oh.... problem
So it works fine when u install and run it first time. once u close out of the app and restart it goes back to saying "not supported". Why is this? is there anything we can do to make this work. I think it might be VERY inconvienent to constantly uninstalling/reinstalling everytime i have to open and close this app.
any suggestions ppl?
EDIT:: Ok i didnt read thoroughly the first post. that i have to clear the data everytime. i guess that will have to do then. not the most inconveient scenario. i just wish optimum didnt have to be such a **** about it. they obviously have some sort of kickback from Apple because they have supported apple devices including ipad for years before the Android version was released.
and considering the EARLIEST android version of optimum app works fine with my tablet, it is obvious they are holding us back on purpose.
