Yahoo Go! 2.0 on Tilt

The Yahoo Go! site does not list the ATT Tilt as a supported device. I was able to find the PPC 2.0 Beta cab floating around and it installed. However the app displays an error message during initial run. Has anyone gotten it to work on the Tilt?
Thanks!

I just installed it on my tilt and it works without any issues.

go to the link above and put your phone number in, click on the link when you get the txt message and make sure you save it anywhere you like (that is either phone memory or sd card) but install it into the phone memory.
Just took this pic with my camera and uploaded it using the mobile flickr! on Yahoo Go!

It is the same 2.0 beta...

Yahoo! Go, No Go
I am having the same issue.
App telling me to restart Yahoo! Go and try again with no luck.

Mine doesn't work either.
I'm using the AT&T rom. Never prompts me to allow the data connection. Just errors out. This really sucks, I was looking forward to trying it out.

I noticed this yesterday as well. Oh well. I was looking forward to trying it too.

I solved my problem by selecting Canada rather than United States. Seems like a strange problem (and workaround).
I flashed to the HTC ROM and reinstalled Yahoo Go and still same issue but the workaround seems to work fine.
What I really wanted to use it for was small business and IM e-mail but Yahoo doesn't support IM and it only allows you to check your default yahoo mail (which is the free account). So it was a waste of time since the other apps on it aren't all that useful. Oh well.

Yahoo Go 2.0 works on my Tilt. But Yahoo Go 3.0 Beta is out now...has anyone tried to get it to work on their WM6 device?

I've been trying too, has anyone figured this out yet!?

Facebook

So I was thinking that the contacts picture feature is really under used in most phones. I was wondering if there was a possibility of having an app that would sync contact photos with their profile pictures on facebook. You could sync by name or phone # if your friends have put their cell #s on their profile.
Also as a side note to that it would be nice to have a better facebook application something similar to the Iphone's app where you are able to use facebook chat aswell as see notification popups and such.

/me looks to see if he's on candid camera.
1) Open Market.
2) Search for "facebook"
3) Install app named "Facebook Contact Sync" (Syncs facebook photos to contacts)
4) Install app named "fbook" (general facebook app, no chat)
5) Install app Named "Meebo" (Supports facebook chat)

why cant there just be an all in one facebook app with chat. Why do i have to use 2 programs to do the job of one app that was already developed for the iphone and which im sure can be developed for the g1.

Sorry sir I'll get right on that.

Well from what i have read on this forum as well as off site, Developing a app for facebook with the abilities of the one for the iphone is virtually impossible at this time.
See, google and myspace are together and microsoft and facebook are together. and with apple, that app has access to the API's within facebook to easily sync and access facebooks information. Google doesnt have that ability since them and microsoft are "enemies". Full functionality with a facebook app for the G1 or android in general is probably not going to happen for a little while unless someone finds a way to access all the information on facebook.
i kinda of have an idea but i am not exactly sure if it would work

Are you the creator of the facebook app?
Bhogan123 I dont really think that that is entirely true though. There are many other programs that have integrated features with facebook. I dont think they are exclusively contracted with any company.

Fbook.
Does anyone of you have the last version of Fbook? Or any older one that is not current. I hate the new one, it won't let me upload photos!
Thanks in advance.

Have you tried emailing the dev and informing him of this issue?

I was being stupid. My album was full, it wasn't the application.

I just use iphone.facebook.com as a bookmark... the app just links you to the page anyways and I find it more stable than the app at times.

fBook application not in Market?
A friend just got the G1 this week. He is looking for the fBook application but cannot find it on the market. If he searches for "fBook" it does not come up. When he looks at the applications by popularity list, it is not there. I sent him the cyrtek barcode link and the market cannot find it: "There are no matches in Android Market for the searchname:com.nextmobileweb.fbook"
I can see it just fine on the market, I can search for it and find it, and the Cyrtek Barcode URL works as well. I do have the apk and I am waiting for him to get home to install it by "hand".
My question is, what could be the reason he does not see it? I do not yet know his firmware version and he is not the "rooting" kind. I assume (shame on me) that if he got the phone this week it should be at least on the RC 33 version, yes?
wergeld

Search typing facebook, i downloaded today...

Depending on when his supplier got the phone, it may still be on RC30. You should ensure that he's on RC33 at least, if for no other reason than he'll be ready for the OTA update push that's now occuring.
Because the market also works on SDK, if he is on the Android 1.0 SDK, he will not see any 1.1 or 1.5 applications, just as users on the 1.5 SDK will not see any 1.1 or older applications on the market either.

FBook?
EDIT: Apparently its still in the market...
Can someone confirm?
Im runnin ADP 1.5, and Im not really believing that it runs off SDK thing because I just re-rooted my new phone coming from another phone with 1.5 on it. I was able to download it on that phone fine.

I just did a fresh install of jf 1.5 adp, and can no longer find fbook in the market. I had this exact same rom installed previously, and was able to locate it with no difficulties. Seems strange...

I can't find it either and I'm on the new 1.5 official update.

Cyrket.com doesnt even have it listed under the "Social" section for any of the SDK numbers.
Maybe they're fixing it??
This is strange....

I can confirm its been pulled from the market. I just reflashed this morning and could not find the app. So I check my store demos just in case it was blocked. None of my G1s can find it in the market. I miss this app, if someone could upload the apk please, that would be awesome.

Google Earth doesn't work on the Eris. I believe we are locked out of using it because of our processor.
As for Skype, I am guessing that it does not show up in the Market for the same reason that some other apps do not. Either Skype is set to only recognize our phone with 1.5, or it is copy protected, and won't show up until Verizon ok's the 2.1 version of our software.
Here is a link to Skype that you can install using Astro file manager if you have your phone to set to install non-market apps.

Google earth used a proprietary library, that is contained in the apk. Sadly its compiled for arm7 (nexus) and not us. Since the source code isn't available, and its beyond me to do anything about it.
All work on it has stopped.
Hopefully google with fix this.

F.Y.I. verizon's integration into skype program wil not let you use skype for united states calling so if you wanted to cut out some of your minutes you cant. Try using fring or nimbuzz which integrate skype into them. Personally I use fring calls are clear.

Does it defaut use 3g or wifi to call somebody? Thanks

Well it is using 3g since I am not signed into wifi but i am not sure if it works the other way around I will check and report back.

Removing AT&T's censorship of the Market

As soon as I got my phone today I rooted and removed all AT&T crap, now if we could just get past their censorship of the Android Market.
I have renamed all CSC files and references but no change at all.
Since it goes back to the stock Android Market with no SIM in it and WiFi only I figured it was APN settings triggering it so I removed the proxy but no go.
I setup a default APN with nothing in it and when I opened the market it showed me the Download tab.
So there is something referencing the apn before loading the market to tell it to add AT&T and block certain apps from showing up.
Anyone more experienced than I have a clue?

Have you enabled side-loading?? Have you installed AppBrain??

install the stock 2.1 market app...

I have enabled non-market apps but the problem is AT&T censors whet you see on Marketplace (easytether for example.)
I have tried installing the stock vending and marketupdater from Cyanogen 5 for the Nexus One but it still loads the AT&T information and shows no results for easytether.
I am fine with sideloading but at the same time I don't want to only see what AT&T deems acceptable, that defeats the principle of Android.

Here's how to bypass AT&T's censorship of the market. Turn on airplane mode, turn on wifi, then browse the market. Not so hard. Anyways, the only thing they seem to be censoring is tethering apps.

I know I can do it on WiFi but there has to be a way to do it over 3g.

Hi
I have Titanium backup to remove the AT&T Apps but because I don't want to screw up the system by removing an app thats needed for the system, can you please send me a list of all AT&T related applications that if removed won't affect the system?
I will be very thankful to you.

Holy crap. The biggest problem I've had with the device so far is that the Market ran slow as molasses. Now that I've changed it to T-Mobile, it's back to what it was on previous Android phones.
This is the longest I've been on an AT&T-branded ROM in almost 2 years and I forgot how much I hated AT&T's "helpful" changes...

I just tried out Market Enabler. +1 for that app. I switched to T-Mobile and now no more AT&T tab and can find all apps on the market. Did anyone else see a speed improvement in the market after switching?

I just rebooted the phone and it's back to AT&T, looks like it's a per-boot change but better than nothing.

market enabler
can sumone tell me how to install market enabler on the captivate please an thank u

So I sideloaded MarketEnabler and found an old friend on the market....PDANet lol. I still had the version installed on my laptop from way back when I had my Hero from Sprint. I'm not sure if the trial will run out or not since I do have the paid version on my laptop...but I am posting this tethered to my laptop now. Eat it AT&T!!!! Thanks for all the posts guys. I think our little phones are gonna turn out ok after all...its getting better everyday

Looking for "USA Today for Tablets" App

Hello you all, I'm looking for the "USA Today for Tablets" App - only the version for smartphones will show up in the market... Hope anyone can upload the APK for me and all the others!
Thanks!

Google can be helpful!!! https://market.android.com/details?id=com.usatoday.android.tablet.news

If all would be so easy Guess what? I've tried that already but it won't let me install the app to my device. That is the reason why I've come here and asked to the apk

I went into the market on my Xoom, went to the Featured Tablet Apps section, and it was right there at the bottom. It installed fine.
How are you not seeing it in the market? When you try to install it from the website (the tablet app linked by handshake87) it should show you your tablet as an option to install it to. If you can't install it to the tablet it should have a reason shown as to why you can't.
If you can't install it from the market or the website then you have another issue you should probably look into. Since I just installed it I can get the APK using titanium if you still need it.

I think the problem might be that I'm accessing the store from Germany and it's a branded T-Mobile device...
So how about anyone uploading the APK for me? Would really appreciate it!

The apk might not work since it's coming from a U.S. xoom versus your version.

I would love to try if anyone would upload the apk

Not responsible for what happens if you try using the file (e.g. soft/hard brick, bootloops, etc.), but here you go from a U.S. wifi version.

If you're getting the error in the market that says something about the app not being available for your carrier, you may want to try what i had to do on my x10. If you're on AT&T in the US and try searching for tethering apps they are not there. So what I ended up doing was putting my phone in airplane mode and using wifi (removing the sim card and working on wifi does the same thing) and once I did that, the apps would show.
So if the apk file posted doesn't work for you (i see no reason why it shouldn't) try removing the sim from your xoom, connect to the internet over wifi, and look in the market again.
