I tried searching for this but I could not find anthing on it, sorry if this is a repost.
Today I recieved a notification on my phone that said "A friend has recommend an app for you" or something to that extent. I selected it and it opened the browser, then opened the market and took me to the listing for some horoscope app.
This is the first time this has happened so I have no idea how that took place. Is this a feature in the Market place, or did some app do this by itself? Anyone have this happen to them?
this sounds interesting. I would also like to find out. I checked the market menus and nothing led me to this.
i believe the app you're looking for is aTrackDog. long press on an app from the list of installed apps and there is a "share with friends" option that posts a link to the app.

But I don't have aTrackDog, so I don't think it would be able to pop up a notification oh my phone.
Did you ever find out if your friend had actually sent some sort of recommendation? Reason I ask is perhaps your friend isn't actually sending the recommendation but the horoscope app your friend has download is without their knowledge...considering that the recommendation is for the same app in both cases :/

It never told me which friend so I have no idea.
I'm just gonna guess that whichever dev made that horoscope app might have made some other app that I DO have and thats how i got the notification.

Okay so I was looking for a app and I thought I found it but I didnt, well I did but nevermind.
I'm looking for an app on the market that was priced around $49.99. I have no idea what the name was or what it did. It was about 2 weeks ago or so.
Why are you looking for an app that you have no idea what it's name is or what it even does? And your first statement is very contradictory:
I thought I found it but I didnt, well I did but nevermind

Well, because I can... Why are you questioning my motives anyways?
Long ago before Apps to SD was around I had to keep deleting alot of apps to keep more prized apps due to space and storage. Now that its alot easier to do apps to sd. I decided to go though the whole market and get all the apps I had to give up in the past. One of them I couldnt remember the name, but I knew what the app did, I eventually found it (Boot Pride)
I erased my OP and left it at that. Than this other app popped into my head, (I sit at work for 8 hours with nothing to do, so sue me.)I never downloaded it but I wanted to. Only problem I forgot the name. I was curious about it because it was $49.99 and I wanted to see why is this app so expensive and what it did.
I was gonna make a new thread but since I just made the one I went ahead and changed my OP again. To the people that maybe saw what I already typed I ereased it all and added:
I thought I found it, (because I remembered the name eventually)
but I didnt (because market search is crap, couldnt find it still)
well I did (found it though a 3rd party website that I will not name due to tos)
nevermind (part you failed to understand)
Bloo
Best mobile fb app I've ever used. Worth 1.50!
Best FB app. However no inbox access makes me a lil Also the notifications seems to be broken, no way to clear them, every time i open Bloo it shows the same notifications and i hate going to the browser to clear them, beats the purpose, plus m.facebook got a facelift recently. I will keep the app waiting on more development/improvements.
Just noticed the notification issue.
I'm sure that's an easy fix.

righ tnow im testing both babbler and bloo. lets see wich one i stick to. babbler has inbox so its winning at the moment. Bloo has a great UI though
He's just posted an updated version to the market fixing wall posting and tweaking notifications.
Pretty good start all round, and finally I've been able to get shot of FBook..
No error on the Notifications now.

Review for Bloo on AndroidCommunity.com
http://androidcommunity.com/forums/showthread.php?p=217452
So far Bloo has won. minus the errors it's got it's still got the best UI of it or Babbler. Not to mention Babbler is having a TON of force close issues for me and just all in all the UI on it is crap. There is a pic upload issue with 1.1.0 but the dev knows about it and is working on it (bloo that is not babbler)

Thats why I think this app will be promising, it hasnt even been out for a day and he has released an update. There are some features missing, but IMO it was definitely worth the $1.50.
Good to hear it's getting positive reviews, I will definately have to buy! Ever since fbook I haven't bothered much with any facebook app.
I just came across this wonderful app that provides a native facebook client for android.
Tha app has been out for just 2 days and already is receiving great support from its developer with constant updates as new features are implemented and bugs are ironed out.
Although its a paid app the developer has been kind enough to provide an alternative method of purchasing the app to those that don't have access to google's paid market through slideme.org.
The app costs $1.49 and I can say its well worth every penny. I have been using it since morning with no problems what so ever.
The developer its quite active and promises new features with future releases. For more details refer to his blog: http://fbandroid.wordpress.com/
I believe we should support such developers that put a lot of effort in providing android with such great apps.
You are the dev!
Anyways, nice work and thanks for creating such a wonderful app.
I do suggest more though such as
- Being able to view your messages/reply.
- Being able to "poke" your friends.
- Etc.
hehehe no actually I'm not. Its just a coincidence. Actually Dimitris is a common name in Greece.
There is already a thread opened for Bloo.

On the Iphone there is an app that allows you to see other iphone users in your area and chat with them is there such an app on android ?
Stephen Fry had it on his iphone when he was on topgear a few months back. I am looking for something similar but not focused on a particualr sex.

There's one thats called gfinder or something similar. I'll try and find the exact name unless someone else can chime in.
When I first went into the t-mobile store to check out the g1, they showed me something similiar to what you are asking but the downfall was that other g1 users had to opt in to use it. For some reason I thought it was part of the original cupcake software
Now that I checked, it is right in google maps, called latitude
latitude
Does latitude have general people on it or do you have to add friends before you can use it ???
It's friends only.

You have to add friends but the gfinder or gfindster just see's everyone, but of course they would have to have the app installed. I used it a long time ago and didn't think much of it. While looking that up I saw another app called loopt that looks like the same thing, I could be wrong tho.
Latitude works for everybody. Not just G1 users. It uses your Gmail account to send request to other people who have to accept you and allow you to see where they are at and chat and stuff. Works nicely, but you have to know their e-mail address to get them added.
So, no you can not find random people with G1's to connect with. I don't know if there is an app that will allow that, but Latitude will not.
I believe you have to opt in to use it, general people on there and since it requires your gps to use, I don't think that you will find any one using except for the most basic users that are unaware that turning off the gps saves you some serious battery life
Aight I just looked it up and its call GFindster PREMIUM but they also have a lite version.
Hmmm, seems like the salesman at t-mobile gave me the wrong info then but since I never used it, I was baseing my info on inacurate info, sorry

No your right cause they was pushing the whole latitude thing. But GFindster is just a seperate app that looks up anyone without having them listed as friends.
thankyou
Thankyou you all for your help I will check out the gfindster app and see how it goes.
you should also check out buddymob
shows where all users are on a map around you and you can click on their little dot (pink for women, blue for guys) and it will show you their profile without having to be their friend
I just rooted my samsung captivate and got "super permission" folder to my phone. so what is the next process in order to get 3rd party apps and games?
Apps and games? You get them from the market like usual. Most will say ' for root only'

Did you really just ask this question?
Most people do what the second poster suggested, you can use the android market or appbrain or even just look for apk's online and see what works. Is this your first mobile phone ever or are you pulling our legs I should mention you do not need to be rooted in order to get games and apps on your phone, only certain games and apps require the phone to be rooted.
yaa
This is my first "Android" mobile that's why i don't have enough information about it.
Thanks though

Just giving you hell haha. If you haven't already found out android market is tied to a gmail account. appbrain is an app you can download which is also very popular and it is too many better then the android market app.
Guys...he asked how to get 3rd party apps. Sheesh, you act like he's stupid. Refer to this for enabling 3rd party apps:

Bud, the original post was edited after our comments so how about you pay attention to what is going on. Secondly some good ribbing is all that was going on prior to the op changing their question. So get off your horse and kick yourself if you think we are being too hard, I know I wasn't. Here is the original quote that if you would have read my first post you would have seen what they asked.

I bought ROM manager premium through the paypal link in the app. Now that i've moved back to the N1 from the NS (i bought it when i was on the NS), i don't see any way to activate premium features without paying again. am i missing something?

I'm not a Twitter pro or anything... but I think as long as you preface your tweet by @koush, he'll see your message and will probably respond. He's a good guy and won't screw you over...so just get in touch with him.

Does the rom transfer between phones? Just asking--
Can you copy your TB backup or whole sd card from the s to n sd card so the n sees those apps and knows you have rom mgr

You can probably also get his email by clicking on 'Send email to the developer'.
Actually, just checked, you don't even have to click on it. His email is right there on the page.
You know every app on the Market has the developer's email, right?

yeah i knew about that, but i'm still getting used to the new market layout (that, and a brain fart). I tried the website but it looks like it's no longer up. thanks again everyone!
Now i feel really dumb, esp. since i've gotten help from other app devs the same way in the past.
Sorry, I just re-read my message and it sounds kind of snarky. Don't feel bad for forgetting about that, everyone has brain farts.

thanks for the apology, but i didn't take it that way.
Honestly, after seeing your response the first time, I just felt so dumb. I didn't get the app from the market, but I should've known to check there anyway.
dude doesn't respond to tweets or emails. Starting to piss me off.
if i would have known trying to save 1 dollar was gonna cause me this much headache.....
join the crowd
never got a response
now use amon_ra
I have the exact same problem. I tried to contact him by email but he does not reply. Will try to contact him via Twitter.
It really pisses me off.
Just wanted to see if this got rectified? I recently did the reverse of the OP. Switched from the Nexus One up to the Nexus S. Premium isn't showing up on the NS.
nope. I just won't support the dev anymore. if one really wants to pay for this app, go thru the market. the dollar isn't worth the headache.
also waiting for response
i also buyed via Paypal cause i dont have a credit card (Market only accept Credit-card)
i changed rom and cannot activat premium features
will try to get money back from paypal (45days!)
hope he will response in next few days
greetings
If it were me, I would find alternative means of getting the software. You already paid for the license. If the dev don't wanna support his own product, either don't use it, or find another place to download it. There are many places to obtain android apps.
I don't like spreading this because I support the developers and truly appreciate the work they do. But I also don't like to see ppl cheated out of their money whether it was intentional or not. I'll tell you how to get that app from the market without paying. Just shoot me a pm.
Sent from my Motorola Olympus
I am another person who bought via PayPal, thinking it would save me $1 and put more $ in the developers pocket rather than the Android market taking it. I originally purchased it back in January 2011 and now cannot get my new device to show that it is the premium version without purchasing on the Android Market... Did anyone find a solution to this or get a reply from Koush?
