[Q] Groove IP removed from Market? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi people,
Can anyone confirm if Groove IP is removed from Market?
Maybe is set for US only? I was able to view 5 hours ago
Tried a VPN.. still nothing
oops.. Should I've posted this in QA? ._.

Thats odd, its gone and I am US. Did Google not like their voice service being used for this? They are usually pretty open with apps. It is still available on the Amazon app store. If it was freeware I would post an apk from Titanium.

Gone for me as well . I forgot to do another backup and went to redownload my apps. Only one not there. Wonder what happened...

I was thinking of buying it (and damn I missed the promotion..), but I got the apk to test it out.. thanks anyway
yea.. it's weird
I thought it could have been removed by the dev, but the amazon's version is still there
like you said.. google is pretty open with this and Groove IP has been on Market for a while.. 1 year?

I just emailed the dev and got an automated response. They're looking into it. Sales got suspended or something.

Still not too sure what happened. Was out for dinner and noticed an email from the android market. Basically an automated email saying that sales were being suspended. Still haven't heard back from the market support, they don't really have a good way for developer contact. The app doesn't violate any of Google's terms or any licenses and we've been on sale for almost a year. Not sure what the issue is.
I'm actually pretty upset about it. GrooVe IP was #1 in paid communication apps and in the top 50 of all paid apps. You'd think if they had found some issue they'd send us a notice or something. Hopefully it's just a mistake. Either way the app is still available from the Amazon app store and we've posted the latest android market version on our facebook page for those who purchased from the android market.

hopefully it will return to the market

Moving to Q&A

Arrggghhhhh!!!! I finally go buy a Galaxy Player yesterday and today the market decides to freak out on GrooVe IP?
The Amazon Appstore is not an option. I'm tired of their lunatic appstore constantly trying to hijack my Market apps and I'm tired of the appstore never having the updated version of apps I want. They only have version 1.2.16 of GrooVe IP while a newer version is supposed to be on the Market.

Maybe one of the carriers didn't like it all of a sudden? That wouldn't be new.

Still no answer to this but Groove IP's facebook page says they got an email from Google saying the app has been suspended. You can follow the latest from their facebook page:
www[dot]facebook[dot]com/pages/GrooVe-IP/118608074886558?sk=wall
(I have less than 8 posts so it wouldn't let me post a url -- so just replace [dot] with . )

Should be back on the Market now.

copy/paste from pocketnow..:
Twitter has long announced that they'd switch to the new authentication method called OAuth which would be more secure. The problem with the old method was that applications had to store your user name and password in order to access Twitter so the new OAuth method will overcome this possible security flaw.
But together with this come the problems related to software that is not kept up to date to reflect and implement the new methods which are used as default now by Twitter. Unfortunately, HTC's Twitter client, Peep, is one of those apps that stopped working and imagine my surprise this morning when I wanted to check the tweets while drinking coffee and was presented with the screen attached. Hope HTC will release their updated version of the app as soon as possible since we know they don't want to lose any users in their Peep pool.
And guess what, moving from the HD2 to my Desire (in my desperate and naive attempt to read some news), I was surprised to find out that Peep for Android is facing the same problems, and it became clear to me that HTC has to make a move, quick!
Strange though that I managed to tweet from Peep some two hours ago!... - probably my last tweet from Peep for a while, hope it'll be short.
That's explains everything
This sucks!!!!!!!!!!
this sucks man! I twittered HTC and posted a notice on their Facebook wall, hope that they come with a fix ASAP!!!!!! Unbelievable that they had months notice to fix this problem. We also still waiting on a ROM update which they promised us since April! Its now September and still no official ROM update!
Its kind of ridiculous that HTC didn't change Peep to the OAuth method before rolling out FroYo. Now we have to wait for yet another update to fix our twitter clients.
Anyway, any alternative Twitter apps for Leo/WM6.5 which do still work? Preferably one with some cool extra functions
Yeah, I noticed this too.. Oddly enough it still works for posting new tweets.
I hope they will fix this with a simple/quick CAB update (or exe, like with the camera). Saves the hassle of backing up again.
But thanks to the XDA community, it will probably be cabbed anyways.. <3
Maybe we will need to wait to twitter again until they release windows mobile 7

I know twikini posted a while back (I can't post links but a search of "twikini stops updates" will get you there) that they would not update their app to support OAuth so that on 8/31 is would stop working. Seems as if Peep does not support OAuth either. Not sure us HD2 owners will be getting an update given the state of WM 6.5 and WM7 around the corner.
For WinMO, I use Panoramic MoTweets they updated to support OAuth in version 1.8.4

Was posted on an other thread
Butt I don't like the way motweets's works and his layout so this could be an option for people who want to try
As much as I love the HD2, I can't stand HTC's "support", more like lack of, lmao! They seem to make a phone & drop it like an ex girlfriend with a scat fetish, then move on to the next one!
Thank god for xda & you talented individuals or this phone would be near useless by now.
I love the Peep feature, it's my preffered way of tweeting & reading tweets. On Desire I love tweetcaster & tweetdeck, two awesome apps, which naturally means they won't be available for Windows......grrrrr!
I'm sure if enough people complain to HTC regarding it, they will address it. Expecially since T-Mobile is still selling the HD2.
I do admit it's discouraging though that it's not already fixed, considering the time given to address it
I dont use Peep but do use both MoTweets and PockeTwit,
only MoTweets is working now.
love u guys
i was wondering why peep wasn't workin i know if i got a problem to always come to xda thanks
Those of you on WinMo who already have Kinoma Play for its media features can use its Twitter app as well. If you don't have Kinoma yet, you're missing out. It's well worth the purchase.
I'm hoping Peep gets fixed as well, but at least I've got a stand-by.
Any clever coders out there working on an unofficial patch?
Wow good thing I read this post cause I almost resorted to a hard reset!
Official reply from HTC
I got this official reply from HTC today:
Hi, We are currently investigating an issue with our Peep client that has stopped working and hope to have a solution soon. Please monitor the support pages for updates, or if you prefer we can record your details and contact you again once a solution is available, You can use the official twitter app for the time being. This is unaffected, HTC are currently working on the authorisation required for peep to work on our handsets, an update should be available soon. Thank you for contacting HTC Europe Best Regards Luke HTC Europe.
Seems like it's going to take them a while to resolve this. We're already waiting since April on a new ROM update so I doubt if an official update will be deployed since Windows 7 will be debuting in December.
In the mean time, download moTweets, it works excellent!!!!!!! Does anybody know how to replace the twitter tab in Sense with moTweets? That would be excellent, but I don't know how.
If anyone knows, please post how to.
THANKS!
I recieved the email below of Twitter. as far I see they will deliver updates to change the Oauth login
Over the coming weeks, we will be making two important updates that will impact how you interact with Twitter applications. We are sending this notice to all Twitter users to make sure you are aware of these changes.
What are applications?
There are over 250,000 applications built using the Twitter API. To use most applications, you first authorize the application to access your Twitter account, after which you can use it to read and post Tweets, discover new users and more. Applications come in many varieties, including desktop applications like TweetDeck, Seesmic, or EchoFon, websites such as TweetMeme, fflick, or Topsy, or mobile applications such as Twitter for iPhone, Twitter for Blackberry, or Foursquare.
Update 1: New authorization rules for applications
Starting August 31, all applications will be required to use “OAuth” to access your Twitter account.
What's OAuth?
- OAuth is a technology that enables applications to access Twitter on your behalf with your approval without asking you directly for your password.
- Desktop and mobile applications may still ask for your password once, but after that request, they are required to use OAuth in order to access your timeline or allow you to tweet.
What does this mean for me?
- Applications are no longer allowed to store your password.
- If you change your password, the applications will continue to work.
- Some applications you have been using may require you to reauthorize them or may stop functioning at the time of this change.
All applications you have authorized will be listed at http://twitter.com/settings/connections.
- You can revoke access to any application at any time from the list.
Update 2: t.co URL wrapping
In the coming weeks, we will be expanding the roll-out of our link wrapping service t.co, which wraps links in Tweets with a new, simplified link. Wrapped links are displayed in a way that is easier to read, with the actual domain and part of the URL showing, so that you know what you are clicking on. When you click on a wrapped link, your request will pass through the Twitter service to check if the destination site is known to contain malware, and we then will forward you on to the destination URL. All of that should happen in an instant.
You will start seeing these links on certain accounts that have opted-in to the service; we expect to roll this out to all users by the end of the year. When this happens, all links shared on Twitter.com or third-party apps will be wrapped with a t.co URL.
What does this mean for me?
- A really long link such as http://www.amazon.com/Delivering-Happiness-Profits-Passion-Purpose/dp/0446563048 might be wrapped as http://t.co/DRo0trj for display on SMS, but it could be displayed to web or application users as amazon.com/Delivering- or as the whole URL or page title.
- You will start seeing links in a way that removes the obscurity of shortened links and lets you know where each link will take you.
- When you click on these links from Twitter.com or a Twitter application, Twitter will log that click. We hope to use this data to provide better and more relevant content to you over time.
Thanks for reading this important update. Come and check what's new at http://twitter.com.
Thanks,
The Twitter Team

Go to amazon.com and see if you can put in your password and it'll tell you the email or something along those lines. I know google and youtube have a forgot your email/username on their sites, don't know about amazon.
Unfortunately if you dont remember what email you used, you wont be able to log into amazon. Amazon does not have a "forgot email address" link, you can only recover your password.
i found it out i used gmails forgot email link.
thank for the help ppl

Whatsapp?

Hey,
I want to use whatsapp on my Galaxy player, but i'm unable to do so. I've downloaded it from the whatsapp site and from 4shared, but when I install the app and try to accept the terms and conditions, the following occurs:
"Unable to identify your device, turn out the batteries and reboot."
"Tablets are currently not supported"
But I don't get it, because my friend has a tablet and he is able to use whatsapp, even though he doesn't have a phone number or a prepaid card in it.
So my question is: Has anyone been able to use Whatsapp on their Galaxy player? And if so, could you please be kind to explain how to do that?
Thanks in advance.
I think you have to have a phone#, unless it will work with a Google Voice#. I can't see paying $2/yr for something you can just use GV for (although it does look like it does a lot more). From their site:
Why do you ask for my phone number?
We ask for your phone number because that is how WhatsApp routes chat messages between you and your contacts, similar to how the regular SMS system would. We value your privacy and we have not, do not and will not ever sell your personal information to anyone. If you would like to learn more about our Privacy Policy, please take a look at our Privacy Notice.

I have been investigating this matter and this app has the same problem as the XDA App(free version) and Tap Tap Revenge 4. I have created a hack that makes these apps work and I have released a beta of my next rom "Foreigner R5" that has the patch applied. However, this app will not function on the beta for other reasons. When foreigner R5 moves passed beta, this app will work.

So? What do you think i should do?
first, i wanna say THANK YOU to Meticulus for a fabulous rom. I am using it to my complete satisfaction. Thanks again.
second, i can prove that Viber works on beta R5 so i think half your whatsapp issue is solved, Rapydax. Until R5 comes out, u can use beta R5 with viber - message your buddies and all that + free calls worldwide.
third, google voice isnt available outside US yet.
and omg, fourth, keep an eye on R5 and trust Meticulus.
I will try the R5 as soon as it is finished.
Google is going to start charging to use their calling service next year. :'( So 2 bucks a year for whatsapp!!! I am going to get that. Also Groove IP is nice and Google Voice just got an update, and now you can call people from the Google Voice app. as well. ^^^Meticulus's Foreigner ROM^^^ is also BEAST!!! So if you are thinking about it, don't worry about it not working. Hope all goes well.

What do you mean by "Google is going to charge for Whatsapp"?
Also, Google Voice is for US only and I live in Europe. Hope they make it able for Europeans to make use of it.

I was not very clear. Google is going to start charging next year for their calling service, as of now it is free. Whatsapp is only 2 dollars a year, so I am now going to get Whatsapp. I am sure Google will expand to Europe. Just give it time.
not giving "them" time is all this forum is about.
Does Whatsapp let you make/receive calls? I thought it was only texting.
GV has been saying it's going to start charging "next year" for a few years now... if they do I'm sure it will be very cheap, and hopefully they won't start until all the bugs are worked out, and other countries can participate.

Argyle Sweater & Beau Peep App ?

I may be a bit off by asking this, but a man gotta do what he gotta do ..
I been a huge fan of Argyle Sweater and Beau peep comic strips.
The humour in those has been very good and has been the best thing to read first thing in the morning. (Maybe i can add Hagar the horrible in that list too)
A few months back, i had noticed the Argyle Sweater app and had delayed the download as i wasnt sure about my phone at that time. I coaxed my friend who was using the iphone to get it, and he has been hooked ever since.
Now recently i went to the app store to download it and its simply not there !
Can anybody pls fill in here pls? Either the link for the app or the reason for them removing AS app from the store ?
Also, any link for a Beau peep and maybe Hagar the horrible will be nice.
Thanks in advance
So you're saying you actually saw it on the android play store and now it's gone, or you saw it on the Apple app store and assumed it would be for android too? Cause I just searched and couldn't find it anywhere on our play store either.
Yea, i saw it on Play store.
Only when i noticed Argyle Sweater being available as an app, i immediately made my friend search and download on his iphone.
I had sent the query to The Google Play support team, and this is what they replied:-
Thanks for contacting us - I understand you're looking for The Argyle Sweater you'd downloaded before; however, The Argyle Sweater is no longer available on Google Play. Either the developer has chosen to remove the app, or the app has been taken down due to violations of the Google Play Terms of Service. If you’d like to review those terms, please visit these links:
http://www.android.com/us/developer-distribution-agreement.html
http://www.android.com/market/terms/developer-content-policy.html
If you'd like additional details about why the app is no longer on Google Play, you're welcome to contact the developer directly at [email protected]. Unfortunately, at this time, we're not able to provide any further details as to why the app is no longer available.

Now i have sent an email to the developer as well.

What happened to Mailwise?

Hi all!
I was just in the middle of switching stuff over to my new phone when i realized Mailwise is missing from the play store. The link from their homepage brings me to a "the requested url was not found on this server" error. I tweeted at them but since their last tweet is from 2014 i have my doubts i will get an answer. Are they dead, anybody knows what is going on?
Thanks for reading, much appreciated!
EDIT:
and maybe let me add on to this question: what email clients are out there you would recommend? i used k9 mail for a long long time, but since they kept the same interface through all those years it all looks a bit dated by todays standards. then i switched over to mailwise, which seems to be dead now.
i'd rather pay for a decent client and not have my mails stored in the cloud but if there's a free one that doesnt i wont be mad either...

thank you very much! but i dont want to keep using an abandoned software with potential security risks that never get fixed. i switched over to aquamail and i am satisfied with it. https://www.aqua-mail.com
It's back
I was just searching email apps in the Google Play Store and Mail Wise popped up after being gone for a long while. It says it hasn't been updated since 2017 though, so wondering where they went and why are they back now?
