XWLA4 roms incompatible with amazon market? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

Anyone able to login to the amazon market app on xwla4? No matter which one it won't accept login and password .
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda premium

Works on mine, just signed in, I haven't found any issues reported yet.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1502426
Many of the new roms are being stripped down, I assume breaking things so just ask them to either include the files or ask for what is being removed/modified.

Also having issues with the latest version of google music as well :-/

Everythings perfect with shishirROM

Honestly I have had this problem on LILROM also (also was playing around with Rebel) and they both do it. I triple checked this before posting so someone didnt think I was just being dumb and it was a password problem but I can login fine to Amazon using the same Email/password on my laptop and on Shostock/ICScrewed fine. It was my understanding that the Amazon market is limited to US users so far and not international which was why I was curious -- its really a deal breaker for me because I have a ton of paid apps that are shared across my phone and several Kindle Fires. Hopefully someone figures this out and thanks for taking the time to respond btw...

Thanks I will give it a try but having tried LIL/Nonamed and Rebel already I suspect something is going on here that is either in relation to this base or how its being hellraised? I am not a developer but work in IT so if there is any information I can provide that might help correct this please let me know.
I will post back with some results on this later I need to wait for my GF to go to bed so she does not think I am ignoring her texts.

No issue here. Using lilrom, flashed before it was named, if that makes any difference.

i was on shishir rom also and didnt have any issues with amazon appstore.

Please don't blame ROMs for issues with logging into cloud services unless a problem like this exists for more than a day or two.
Login problems are frequently problems on the service provider side - for example, the Market wigged out on me this morning, but 20 minutes later it was OK.

If you install lots of roms check amazons site under your apps and devices. You may have used up the allowed amount of devices, just delete some and try to login from your mobile again.

Out of curiosity..If it was a problem with the market it wouldn't allow you to log in from computer either?

This. Ran into it a couple weeks ago. I think the limit is 20 devices. Every new login on a different ROM appears to count, from what I saw...though I didn't dig in detail, just deleted some aria and cappy instances.

No, completely different interface - for example, it's common for the Android Market to be inaccessible or wacky when accessed by devices but for the web frontent to be fine.

Wanting to like the phone but...

It seems to freeze up a lot. I will select apps and they do nothing, same with downloads from the market. They just hang at showing them as downloading.
I use SPB Shell and sometimes when it does this it will also stick between pages rather than just flinging to the next it will actually just stop in between pages until you continue to scroll though.
When I select links to open, it does nothing until I actually open the browser. I have only had the phone for a few days and it worked fine, now its doing all these weird things.
Anyone got any suggestions or ideas, let me know otherwise I'm afraid I may be taking it back...
Something may be wrong with the phone. I haven't experienced none of that. Even out the box. Actually its been so fast for me that if I experience the littlest bit of lag it drives me nuts. Might be hard ware related.

LOL dude you have the data guard enabled. There is a setting in their that holds downloads and other things in a queue until you are using WiFi in order to save battery. Just disable that and you'll be on your way And the SPB Mobile Shell problem is probably a problem with the app. Contact the developer and tell them about it. There aren't many nVidia Tegra 2 phones out there so it's not very likely they have done much testing on the architecture. Also, what kind of links are you talking about? Like a link you receive in a text message?

I used to have the same problem with apps not responding after pressing. I was using adw launcher I reverted back to stock and everything is good now. Emailed the developer about the compatability and waiting for an answer but the photon is good otherwise
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
Yeah it really sounds like you have Data Saver enabled which is located under Battery & data manager in the phone settings. If not you may want to exchange the phone as faulty. I have a lot of issues which my Photon: stuttering during music playback, random reboots (twice in 2 weeks so far), and feedback when using the audio out (buzzing / static). These seem to be common problems but the performance issues you are mentioning do not seem normal from what I have read in these forums.

You would be correct. Although i went from the Hero to an LG Optimus S, and now the Photon.
No problems like that with SPB Shell here. Check the data saver mode. You can also try changing the vm heap to 48 or 64. Mine is on 64 but never had an issue with the stock setting either.
Update...
It does appear that it was SPB Shell which sucks because I was really liking it. I will send a message to the dev and see what happens. The funny thing is that is was working great the first few days that I was using it and then started acting up which was why I didn't thing it was SPB

How do you get it that high? I am using VM Heap Tool and the highest it will let me check is 48.
It's not data saver. Or it shouldn't be. It's an Android flaw.
I've had an Incredible, Thunderbolt and then Photon. Which means I've used a few Android phones over a couple of networks (more if you consider the 4G's as their own networks).
99% of the time my phones work fine. Every so often it will stall downloading an app, or an email will just sit on sending for a longggg time. Unless I am recreating the same conditions over three phones and two networks I think this just happens every once and a while.

I'm glad you found the issue, this right here always tells me it was something you installed that caused the problem. When it worked fine out of the box and then....
Just watch what you install, install one app at a time and see how it flows for awhile after each app. Yes, it may take awhile to get all your apps on but you will know what apps are causing you issues! Like a previous poster said, there aren't many T2 phones, so just be careful what you install!
Glad you found the problem!

[Q] Strange popup ad

I have been using a clock program called wf & clock widget for a few months on my p500h and it has been running fine, no popups. Recently I decided to install tape a talk and I have been getting a lot of full screen popup ads. I uninstalled tape a talk but the popup ads persist when I check the weather with wf & clock widget. I have used some antiviral antimalware programs but it is unable to find anything.
I have a rooted phone with permissions programs and the sort. I just want to know how this weather program may have gotten infected from a dev point of view . As of this moment, I am unable to get rid of the problem.
Download from the market - airpush detector
MoPhoACTV Initiative
I ran airpush detector and it did not find anything. Is it possible that tape a talk installed something into another application? I didn't think android apps could do that.
As long as you got the app from the android market then no. If you got it from a non sucure site then it is possible
Interesting, although I cannot believe it. Many people who have downloaded the tape a talk free version have had the same problem. I hope I do not need to reset my phone in order to change things back to normal.

Believe it. Android apps can be used to install apps that you know nothing about. Mai ly if your rooted or got the app from non approved sites. You should never install apps that you are not sure are clean like the ones from trusted markets or here.
And I just checked as u didn't think tapatalk offered a free version. And I couldn't find one. Where did you get it?

You could try an alternative like virtual recorder. It has in app ads only and quality is very good. You can get it on market.
If it does what you want you can delete tape a talk then.
Alternatively if your android is rooted you can use lbe privacy guard to deny it permissions such as net access so it might not get ads pushed to it then.

Not tapatalk, but 'tape a talk'. I only get apps from the official android market. Take a look at the feedback regarding the ad problem.
Normally I would not be asking about this kind of problem on this forum, and I thank everybody for the replies. I am mostly just curious about how this sort of problem can occur and how these apps can affect other apps, even ones that are apparently trusted and from trusted sources. You can never really trust a developer fully - I purchased the first Android phone available and have seen countless developers screw over their app users. It's really too bad since there are so many good developers out there too and it's hard to tell the difference.

The tapatalk forum app, as opposed to tape a talk recorder, although commercial can be legally used free from getjar.com.

How to you prevent google play upgrade?

I have the apk for the 3.4.4 market. I froze the market updater but when I install the Market apk within 5 minutes it updates to play. Is there a way to prevent the upgrade?
What's the big deal with preventing the update? Looks like exactly the same market with a name change to me. Just wondering what I'm missing and in no way trying to be a jerk.
Sent from my ADR6400L using xda premium
You dont want to stop the update because if you do, you will not be able to get apps or update current apps with the old market.
Anything else that relies on the newer market will fail as well. I doubt you could stop it anyway..
Install an older version of the Market and use Titanium Backup to freeze the Market Updater...but there's no good reason to not update.
The new market is great! LOL, it is pretty much the same. The only difference if you have a tablet and that allowed you to purches music through the app. Again looks pretty much the same. New name

personally the name change is annoying as all hell, google quit trying to program your brand name in my brain, when i want to buy and app or something i want to go to the market or to the store, not go to the google and pick up a new app.
every-time i'm in a rush trying to pull something from the app market i can't find the bloody icon because i'm looking for the market or in the old location on my app drawer, minor change i know but i have caught myself cussing at google when i needed to re-d/l my gps app after it crashed during a trip i as on a few days ago.
any chance of renaming the new app back to market without root?
Just use a launcher and if already do, just change the name duh..lol that's what I did ....

I also would like to learn how to get around using Play. The new terms seem to allow Google to read my sms messages and record the message routing. I don't think my correspondents would appreciate having their thoughts being part of Google's repertoire.

What conspiracy theorist cooked that up?
The only way to get around using Google Play is to not use android. What you're asking is the equivalent of saying you want to use an iDevice without the app store.

Memory needs > any update
I have a very good reason for not wanting auto-upgrades. Radio Shack misled me about the HTC Wildfire S and now I've got jack for memory. I have four apps installed, use only the native message app, and I'm lucky to have 25mb free. Anything less than that and the phone works as well as the Pony Express does today.
FWIW, Tandybot told me I could always install apps on the SD card. In theory, yes, but so few app devs code apps to work in that manner. Lesson learned.
kite edit: SNIP! No need for that kind of attitude around here, I'm afraid.

Craigslist Notification App?!?

I don't know where else to ask this, so I'm hoping the right person sees it here.
I recently flashed my phoned, soft-bricked, and restored (with a PIT), which wiped out all my TB apps backup up internally. I had a craigslist notification app that would periodically run searches (and was apparently created by craigslist), and now it's competely GONE from the market + internet as far as I can see. Does anyone have information about this? I found a similar app that seems to be a remake (Craigsnotifica), but I cannot find the original. Does anyone maybe have this backed up from TB? Thanks ...

V3.28 seems to be the most recent and LAST version. Was retrieving ad copy (the words) AND the pics consistently then became sporadic as to when it would pull down ads or be able to access CL in real time.
In last few days I only get pictures in ads - NO ad copy. Tried on 2 separate phones, seems to be the app.
Seems this app is no longer working on CL and the developer's site (accessed from within the app) only has a Recipe app!! Hahaha.
Thanks Rafael for creating the BEST CL app for Android then abandoning it!!! Hope CL's deep pockets paid you well!!
I am having the same exact problem. Photos & no text.
I tried on my galaxy 2,& galaxy 3 with the same result.
Is there a good android replacement application?
I tried a few that are not very good regarding the notification part.
During hurricane sandy this app helped me get a generator. I hate to see it gone.
Any ideas how to get in touch with the author?

I'm having the same issue. pPictures bit no text and I can't post to CL through the app now.
Would someone on XDA be able to figure out what changed with CL and fix the code inside the app?
Id be willing to donate for a fully functioning Craigslist Notifica.
Im having the exact same problem. Pictures, but no words. I use this app almost daily. Nothing on the play store even comes close to how good this app is. Id love to get the problem fixed. Also willing to donate!
Thanks
edit. posted an old article. opps.
hope this gets fixed soon. it was one of my favorite apps!
same issue
having same issue with this app...photos only and no text. Also couldn't find the app on the market. Not sure how we can notify the developer of the issue.
if you press the peace sign at the bottom of the ad, it will bring you to the original. not a great fix, but at least its something.
In the same boat. Hopefully there's a fix soon or I can find a replacement. Trying out CLapp but it seems to have issues with duplicate notifications.

I noticed that today when I fired up the app for the first time in a couple of weeks and here all of his apps are gone from the market. They were my favorite 2 apps ever. The actual craigslist app stinks!
Also noticed that there is really no craigslist apps other then the official one on the market now. I know now that Ebay owns like 45% of them they have been going after site and stuff that offer search functions for searching CL outside of the actual site so maybe there was something with CL going after them. No idea but I miss his apps!!
I love this app !! On my Galaxy S3 Sprint !

Warning!!! Suspision, Firefox is sold out to Facebook.!!

Hello friends,
I wanted to alert everyone regarding what I discovered.
After latest firefox update I found out that-
Whenever I run Firefox app, it also runs Facebook app and facebook messenger.
Here is how I tested-
1) Kill the Facebook & Messenger totally by using the Force Stop option. For better, also Force Stop the Firefox .
2) Run Firefox again, and then check both the Facebook apps. You will see both the Poop-bags run back from the grave.
How? Why? I guess Firefox is sold out to Facebook too.
Now they are tampering the core too.
Yes I tried these steps, 3 times while writing this topic, to make sure whether my suspicion is valid or not. Yes it does exactly what I said.
Any one knows, how to stop this? (I know the solution some of you might give- Uninstall the Facebook apps.) . But before doing that
lets alert everyone and find out the solution, because this time Firefox is involved(sold out).
Which app permission should I disable to prevent this? (I am using Xprivacy, permission pro, app settings).
android 4.4 , Samsung 10.1 .
Thank you.
Anyone, noticed this? and know any solution?
You're accusing the Mozilla Foundation of possible illegal behavior. You'll need more than the odd behavior of one device to convince me.

Hello,
I am not here to accuse, I am here to get solution.
I use firefox since years, because of trust. But what I noticed after recent update is evident.
I have checked this several times. I mean everyday, before I run Firefox on my android tablet, I check which apps are running in the background. I kill them if they are there. Then I run firefox and check the running apps immediately. There you see Facebook+messenger, sitting in the background like thieves.
Did you try what I am saying? You will notice its not the "odd behavior of the device". but its the "obvious behavior of Mozilla Firefox".
You will see the same with Spider Solitare. Facebook is Targeting popular apps, or rather possibly Commissioning them.
What more should I test to check or prove that, or prevent that? is there any log or something that I should show here?
Thank you for reply, see you soon.
A lot of apps does that...
Even system apps..
Ex. In Samsung device's when you receive sms, Viber will also run..
When you use Camera, Gallery will run..
I think Firefox is using Facebook services, so if you use Firefox to log in facebook it will also sync.. not sure.
Separate note
Though im wondering that why its banned in XDA

As being banned means that it doesn't get mentioned. As for why. Because it's used to rip off devs, making it warez which xda is against.
As for the OP. Run a log cat and see what it is calling. This user maybe right. With everything so connected these days it is not odd for one app to start a service of another app.

This is the accusation. The Mozilla Foundation is registered as a tax-exempt organization under US law and as a charitable trust under California law. Selling out to Facebook jeopardizes that standing.

Yes, whatever it sounds like, if you are going to say the same thing without even checking what I am saying ... or you already know it.
Ok sorry if it sounds like accusation, but Firefox is still doing that.... Whats next?
Thank you for replying.

A lot of apps does that...
Even system apps..
Ex. In Samsung device's when you receive sms, Viber will also run..
When you use Camera, Gallery will run..
I think Firefox is using Facebook services, so if you use Firefox to log in facebook it will also sync.. not sure.
Separate note
Though im wondering that why its banned in XDA

As being banned means that it doesn't get mentioned. As for why. Because it's used to rip off devs, making it warez which xda is against.
As for the OP. Run a log cat and see what it is calling. This user maybe right. With everything so connected these days it is not odd for one app to start a service of another app.

Thank you for writing zelendel and radz
Ohh... what is banned/or not being mentioned, on XDA ? The firefox?
What does OP means?
I already sent them email. I also used the option they give "take a moment to tell us ........" thing.
I came here because its obvious activity that I am seeing everyday, and if they are involved, they wont give any solution. You people only can.
And, login using Firefox is totally different than the Facebook apps login. Not related. I am sure this activity is no where near to helping us.
Do you know any Xposed framework module, or something that will prevent this from the root?
See you. thanks again.

I use neither Facebook nor Firefox on my phone ( i do on my pc) but loaded them up. I followed your instructions. Results: Facebook had to boot from the splash screen each time. I'm deleting the apps not and moving on.

Ok, thank you for trying it for me. :good:
good wishes for you.
Anyone else, please let me know.
SERIOUS now!!
Woww,
this is getting serious. Every popular app Spider solitare, Etsy, ESfile explorer are sold out! Their latest updates are starting services for Facebook. Woww!!
The Greenify and xprivacy mods given by users, isnt working.
Seriously needs a solution for this. Anyone?
I thought it's because Facebook is just set up to run all the time? You kill it and it'll restart on its own, regardless of whether you start up other apps or not.

It is. To be honest there is not much that can be done. Mainly with android M new feature of allowing all apps to check for root and disable features or the app if root is detected.

Hello, hey no. (I guess you are a non-root user). Actually I removed Facebook from the root with the help of Titanium backup and installed it as a user app again. I have also removed its startup. It never starts by itself. Until i updated these popular apps. Now they are rigging even more apps. I know, I keep checking the running apps through ForceStop it or app settings. And I have tried several times, when I run these few mentioned apps I immediately go check the running apps again. There the facebook rise again.
