Anyone know what happened to weatherbug? I was re-installing some apps and cannot find Weatherbug. It was an app that I actually made use of on a day to day basis.
Sometimes apps leave the market for various reasons, either the author no longer wished to distribute the app [in that manner], or it in some way violated or was perceived to violate the google TOS. Because of this, if you are planning to wipe your phone, it is a good idea to make a backup of all apps you don't want to lose.

Found it odd that it would be removed after having an update just last month. I had done a backup using nandbackup as well as using the one that is built into Astro. I'm at work and the backups are at home, moved them off the SD to my computer. Was hoping to get it installed after updating to the newest JF build.
Maybe they're just prepping a new version compatible with the 1.5 release?
Their site doesn't seem to indicate that they've taken it offline:

I didn't realize there was a recent update - I would've grabbed it. I'm on 1.0.498.

hopefully thats the reason why its gone from the market.
I love weatherbug, but its still a bit buggy especially in terms of the temperature in the notification bar.

I would think they would keep the original version for those that have not upgraded and release a 1.5 update separate. I did not have a problem running it on the Haykuro 1.5 version I installed prior to updating to the JF/LucidREM update.
ok..ok..I am not crazy then
I tried to look for it yesterday and I guess it was all in vain. I do hope if comes back. It worked ok for me on the 1.5 versions.
It worked for me on Haykuro's 1.5HR3 as well, but remember - these guys are doing testing against the official releases, and they're probably testing in a lot more depth than we are. Could be they found something, and decided to push out one app that's compatible with both 1.1 and 1.5.
Just a hunch. I'm thinking if they willingly removed Weatherbug from the market they'd have removed that page from their website as well.
They released weatherbug elite on the iphone so maybe they're getting ready for this on android. the elite is 99 cents tho
ok
I want
Weather bug....the loon misses ya!
I will pay.
I ran Weatherbug earlier today (I use it almost everyday) and the ad banner at the top was about Weatherbug Elite. I'm guessing they pulled the free app, which is beta (I believe), so that we can all pay for the Elite version. Yay!... not.
Well, I hope that means they will take off the ad banner. It was a little annoying.
Can someone post the .apk for those who don't have (and want) Weatherbug (beta)?
yes i really want this please!
It's back! I just downloaded it!

It worked for me too, but as soon as I would power on the phone I would get a force close from WeatherBug (without opening the app). After that, everything runs smoothly.
So, not like it's a huge inconvenience, but maybe that will be addressed.
Weatherbug was in BETA release. I looked on the market and the BETA has been removed but there is a free version there which works just fine on JFv1.5
Hell yeah.
Works nicely on jf 1.5
Never knew how much I would miss those #'s in th top left
"Sigh"
I'm good...I'm good!
I just want to spank them and tell them to never leave me again
I don't see anything that would indicate a paid-for version - just looks like regular ole' WB to me.
Is it 1.0.774 that you guys got as well?
Hey guys, i have a little problem with my market. I'm searching for some applications on market, but i just can't find them.
First one is Gameboid(GBA emulator). I was only able to find the lite version, but since i like it alot, i want to buy the full version. Problem is, i can't find the full version anywhere. Even if i'm redirected from the Lite version so i would buy it, it gives and error that the app wasn't found on Android Market. It's just wierd, cause i can find it here: http://www.cyrket.com/package/com.androidemu.gba and here: http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-androidemu-gba-jtqn.aspx .
Other app is the aBTC Bittorrent client. I can't find that either. Are apps region locked or something?

i think i remember seeing that gameboid was pulled off the market a while back.
Just checked the market and as a matter of fact, i can't see even one app that costs money. Only free ones. What's going on? I got CRC37. Bugger

That's your problem, paid apps aren't available outside US/UK(/DE maybe?). Better luck next time.

Install Market Enabler. You'll need a "rooted" build (refer to the stickies in the dev forum for more info)

Just did a search, it is still up there. Full version for 3.99USD.
As said before, the market is region locked (it determines this based on your SIM card, IIRC). Paid apps aren't available in all regions.
I live in the US with a US phone and I can't find any paid apps at all either. They were there the other day, gone now.

Was running CM 4.0.1. Paid apps returned sometime last night/early this morning. I checked about 2am or so and they were all back. Hadn't done anything at all, and they showed up on their own. Guess the market had a glitch?
you should root with cyanogen one click. check page cyanogenmod.com.
install market enabler and yo will be fine.
Is it slow or is it just me?
I get a text and when I launch it, there is a lag. Didn't happen before i updated it.
anyone else experience this
Noticed that as well, do you have the widgets installed. Going to try and take them off and see if that helps.

Yes! Smh, and it made other apps even lag for as long as I had it open smh.
Delivered by Aftashok's Captivate and the good people at Roc Nation Records
My phone is rooted, lag fix, sideloadable.
Using launcherpro. Only have beautiful widget and a twitter widget. Nothing that should create this lag. Will contact google soon.
Thanks people. Good to know I'm not the only one.
Sideload google voice
What is the point of sideloading GV? It is free already...
its the problem with google voice new version. i reverted to the older version using titanium backup, and i got it back to it speed. the newer version is causing the lag!
this is the version i had backed up and restored to: 0.4.0.12 (this is the version prior to the current one)
I updated mine as well a few days ago and I also notice the lag. Its pretty bad as far as I can tell. When I start typing, the cursor just sits there and a few seconds later the words appear. The app launch is pretty slow as well compared to the last version.
Does anyone have the old version .apk file they can send me?
I have the old .apk, would you like me to email it to you? Don't know how to post it...

Glad to know I'm not the only one! I hadn't used it much, and started using it after the update and noticed the same lag. Hopefully Google can fix it soon...
Same here, its embarrassing how slow it is to open from the program or the widget.
Could one of you upload or send me the older .apk as well please? I would much appreciate it. This lag is ridiculous!

I could have sworn I posted this earlier. Am I not allowed to post links to an upload? This is a free app...I uploaded version 0.4.0.12 here: http://drop.io/jm3dxje
Thanks to graveheart_82 for emailing it to me.
This is awesome guys. I noticed that as well. I'm running cognition rom and it's fast as hell except when running gv. Glad to know i'm not the only one and thx guys for providing the .apk for the a good version.
Really glad that I bumped into this thread, the lag was driving me crazy. Thanks for posting the previous version.
Wanted to make sure everyone knew about this. Link can be found via their twitter acct. Sadly at&t doesn't want us to have it. I'm sure there might be an easier way, but I will probably flash a quick galaxy s rom and see if it will let me pick it up that way. Anyone else interested in getting this? Or if you know an easier way of getting it please let me know.

Thanks for the heads up.
I can't get the game either, on an AT&T Captivate in Canada.
Yeah I have been trying different phones etc this morning to get it. I put my phone as the Droid on their page and put in my phone number. It sent me the download link but when I clicked it, It said no downloads are available for your phone. I am trying to find a way around this ... grrrrrr.
If you try to download it from the WAPStore with a Captivate Rom it will say its not available for your device..
Right above that message is the option to change your device.. lol
Amazingly simple work around. Just change your device to a Vibrant and bada bing. You got game.
EDIT: 181mb file must be downloaded after you download the initial 4.something or ruther mb apk
Same here. Lotta people also saying what's floating around out there won't work on our Galaxy S phones.
it works fine one cyanogen, i dont know if i can post the apk?? i dont think i can do that legally since its not gonna be free for long..

Seconded this. When you reach the screen saying there are no downloads for your phone tap on the bar that says "Captivate" and navigate to Vibrant. Donezo.

Worked!!! Perfect. Now to see if this thing will actually run on this phone ... should cause its a fellow galaxy s but ya never know....
Interesting ... It doesnt seem to recognize internal storage. It says 182 MB free space required on external SD and the screen only has 2 buttons ... retry or cancel. I have abour 6 gb free so hmmm ... maybe it's time to pony up for that expansion space.
Killer find, thanks for sharing!
didn't have a problem getting it with di11igaf's rom, well cause its awesome lol
Make sure your user agent is set to android.
What's with the SMS permissions?

Please, I know I am not reading this. Gameloft actually has done it right because they KNOW ATT app locks their phones so that is why they don't allow it. Imagine if they allowed you to spend the $5 to buy the game, only to find out you couldn't install it, you would be even more mad.
Needless to say there IS a fix as I installed it on my phone right now. You do NOT have to have a special rom to do it either, this is all you need
Requirements:
Phone rooted (got to market and get "One click Lag Fix" does it easliy)
App unlocked or sideload capable
If you have done that go to this post and read this thread. I am also attaching the apk for this, just in case if no one wants to bother with the stuff below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819721
What you want to do is change the build.prop. PLEASE MAKE COPIES of your original before you overwrite it. That really is your only goal for reading that thread.
Changing the build.prop makes the phone look like the i9000 which Gameloft will allow you to install the app. After the app has downloaded and installed. Copy the original build.prop over again and reboot your phone. You must reboot your phone each time you overwrite the file. Hope this helps.
I figured it is a useful trick to know as know it will have helped me for the 2nd time.
Or you can use the Android Central sideload wonder machine ... it works! Did it earlier
Still a fail... http://twitter.com/gameloft one tweet they say it works, the next no, this has NOTHING to do with rooting or anything else, it is a pure case of bad marketing and failing to do their research...
I managed to get it, they say they were having problems. This morning when I tried it sent me a text to site but I didn't think you could change the phone from there. I tried a minute ago and changed phone to vibrant and all is good.
Be sure to check back on their site. They will have more coming out through Christmas, but the links only stay up for about a day. Some days its iPhone while others will be for Android.

Does anybody know if I can download gameloft games that I bought as much time as I want? For example, if I change rom, can i download it again?
If you got them from the market, yes you can. When you sign back in after the flash. The apps you have purchased will show under "my apps " and you just re download them

Hmm, you get a download link in the mail from gameloft (or in the sms)
So there shouldnt be any problem with that.
Anyway just tried to download avatar again I purchased earlier. And worked.
Rom shouldnt have to do anything with the game. (as I bought it on Froyo and now I have GB)
dont understand this though
Gameloft's policy is that if you buy a game, you can re-download it on the same device with the same phone number within the 90 days of your purchase. To re-download your game, go to http://gameloft.com on your mobile and click on the 'My Downloads' link at the bottom of the page. You will see the list of all the games you purchased so far that you can re-download. If you purchased your game on our website on your pc using your credit card, enter the 'My Account' section at the top of this page and re-download your game(s) after signing in.

Well make a nandroid with the game on it. (Tit backup too) . Go new rom. try to download. If it wont work restore with tit backup. If that wont work. you still have the old nandroid.
Anyway ask them if you arent sure
PS: Just for a game not to update ? Doesnt make sense for me
Just go to their website and use their online tool for re downloading games. If that don't list your game then email them and they will send you a link via sms.
I have done this a couple of times now.

Seriously write them? I downloaded it after 4/5 months.
Also once on the phone you know you can back it up right? You can restore it from there tit backup. Just try? Nandroid for good measure.
I think they honor any purchase up to 3 years or something. After I put on gingerbread JVK, I asked them for a fresh link to download NOVA which I had purchased last august.
Though NOVA still doesn't work, they did give me another game for free.
Very good service
