How do I download and use the "[email protected]" app from USAA bank from outside the US? It's free but I need to get a legitimate copy of it for obvious reasons. I emailed USAA and did the obvious Google searches before posting this, but I am getting nowhere. I am making the assumption that they are limiting it to the US market (I'm in the UK). I am running a compatible version of Android, so I should see it, but I don't. Here are my basic questions:
1) If I got the .apk somehow and installed it here in the UK, would it work from here?
2) Would using a wifi connection with it be different than a mobile network?
3) If #2 is yes, could I configure my router to use a US proxy?
I really like the idea of taking a picture of a check with my G1, and depositing it that way. If anyone has figured this out please let me know how it works. Thanks.

These are assumptions, not answers:
Most likely it would work from UK in any form you try to use (WiFi/network). I would assume since USAA will have clients outside of the US for obvious reasons there would probably be no check that you're on a US carrier.
If you're having trouble getting the apk, I could download it from the market and send it to you. Send me a PM and I can email it to you.
Here it is. Hope it works from abroad!
Sweeet!
Thanks, r4d14n7. I appreciate the help. I just tried it over wifi and it worked no problem. Haven't tried it over 3G but I bet that works too. I was using the regular [email protected] before, but this is even better.
** Mods if you can change the title of the post to "[email protected] .apk outside the US?" it would help others searching for this same issue. I'm a noob and I wasn't able to type it out correctly...thanks.

What phone and version are you using, because I DL'd and tried to install, but it keeps giving me "aaplication not installed".
I'm using Sprint HERO, but version 2.1, so I should be good to go, thanks.
forty01 I'm using the latest stable Cyanogen build (4.2.15.1) on a HTC Dream/T-Mobile G1. I downloaded the .apk to my desktop, then transferred it to the memory card on the phone over USB, and disconnected the cable. Then I just navigated to the .apk file in Astro file manager and opened it (touch the .apk file in Astro and then touch "open app manager"). I've got the phone's SD card partitioned with the apps running off that (apps to SD). You probably did the same thing but I'm covering all the basics here to avoid any confusion. Hope you get it working. If I left anything out here just ask for help again.
Yess i have the htc eris and can not find the mobile banking app for regions can any one help??
That was downloaded from the market just before I posted it (10Mar2010). I'm running a G1, but I'm not sure that makes any difference. I'm a little noobish when it comes to apks
I overlooked something obvious here but I'm learning. I just tried the "Market Enabler" and now I see the USAA app from overseas. That's got to be the simplest way to grab it, and keep it updated.
Can I get this to work on Cupcake? I'm running the Aloysius ROM on a CDMA Hero. The software version says 1.56.651.2, and the .apk above won't install.

Not on Cupcake (Android 1.5), it runs on Donut (Android 1.6) or higher.
From the USAA website... "The Android app is free and available now for devices running the Android operating system version 1.6 or later."
You will have to upgrade to a newer version of Android before installing. When you do, grab the USAA app directly from the market. Use the Market Enabler (search for it) to get the app if you are outside the USA. Good luck.
Reviving this thread. I have a GSM Hero (U.K, unlocked, not Orange) running Android 2.1 and still cant find this USAA app in the market. Anyone know why?
** Update August 2011, I removed the attachment, it's a year old. The only correct way to do this from outside the US is to root, use Market Enabler, and get it in the Marketplace.
Here's the newest version of the app, attached below. (Removed)
First thing you need is a file browser to navigate to the .apk, once it's on your phone's memory card. Find a file browser in the market if you don't have one yet. You will have to enable installing third-party sources, your phone will prompt you if you haven't already. The problem with this method is that you can't update the app, and you have to trust my attachment as being safe.
A better way is to root your phone, and install Market Enabler (Google it). Requires root access, but it works perfectly. You can use it over wifi, 3G, whatever. You can use it to browse a lot of different markets. Plus, you can download the USAA app directly from the market, and update it that way, too.
Post a reply or PM me if that doesn't work out for you. Also, email USAA and ask them to make it available outside the US. I did, and they aren't ready to do it yet. Silly, considering who their members are. Just my opinion.

I agree with everything you said. Did you actually talk to USAA about that? Yeah, I went looking for Market Enabler etc, but you need root (as you said). I can't find a reasonable guide for rooting a stock 2.1 GSM Europen Hero (unbranded/unlocked). Is there one?

One thing I didn't think to mention yet is to try something like App Brain. I haven't used it yet but it's pretty popular on this and other android forums. I think you can set up an account on the website, load their app on your rooted or un-rooted phone, and load apps that way. Worth a try.

Thanks so much r4d14n7. I was having problems getting the app from the market as well. I live in Belgium.
But now that I got the app up and working, I tried to use [email protected] and it is telling me it cannot find my location. I have GPS and wifi on and both the maps application and my web browser on my vibrant are working. Any suggestions?
tpmaxwell2 I've never seen it try to get my location. I don't think it needs it. USAA is just limiting the download availability to the US. Once you get the .apk, anyone can use it. I'm using it no problem from the UK and it never switches on my GPS, nor is there any delay launching the app. It just comes right up. I posted an updated version in post #14, scroll up a little to see it. I've got that version running on both my rooted G1 and a stock, unrooted Desire from here in Europe. If you try it and still get location errors or other problems, post here again so we can figure out the problem.

On the version I just downloaded I cant even get into [email protected] without getting this error: "your location is required to use [email protected] please enable location services on your device and retry."
So I enabled wifi location and the app worked! Thanks so much!!
FYI...
I ran across this thread after trading in my iPhone 3gs for a HTC Desire HD. I went into the market to download the USAA app, and it couldn't be found. As suggested above, I installed market enabled, set as a t-mobile phone, then searched again. The USAA app showed up in the search, I installed it, and it works fine. BTW, I'm in the UK as well. Hope this helps for anyone else having the same problem.

I have been lurking through these forums (and others) for a bit and I have noticed talk of copyrighted apps disappearing from the marketplace or those with root that have put their apps onto their SD card.
The new MyBackUp Pro App gives you the option to backup all of your apps to your SD card. Has anyone had any issues with certain apps disappearing from the market after utilizing this feature? Thanks in advance.
well, my backup has been around for a while, ive been using it for months, however they added a few features with pro, but mosty its a donation. anyways ive never had a problem with any program as result to mybackup, and definatly one of my favortie/must have apps.
Cant find mybackup in market?
I upgraded my old fully working version of mybackup to the new piece of **** scam one that crippled the restore feature and now its forcing me to upgrade to the pro version.
1st of all how os it an "upgrade" when u cripple an app and then force u to upgrade to a paid version to get it to work again???? Wtf??
And 2nd, has mybackup disappeared from the market for anyone? I've tried typing all sorts of jeywords in for it and it won't pop up? Even the notification that mybackup provides with a shortcut doesn't work? It says sorry this app could not be found? Please check spelling? W
Wtf happenes to this once excellent app? How did it go to such useless ****?
Can anyone help me find it again???

The application made it clear that feature from the free version would expire. Also, there was no upgrade to expire the features, it was build into the application when it was released.

do you work for free???
if you can't afford $0.99
then you can't afford a G1

Paid apps are not accessible to all of us, and this move on their part puts a lot of people in limbo. I can't use the old, free, version anymore and I can't buy the Pro version. Caught between a rock and a hard place, and I'm not enjoying it.

MyBackup Pro
If you are still on the free one and find that you cant backup or restore. This is not true, you are only allowed 2 Backup sets, so if you have more, deleting them (or moving them to another machine) and freeing up the backup sets will allow you to create another backup, just not one of Applications. Also, you are able to restore any of your old Data backup sets, again just not applications...

its the same for me... kinda sucks, id go rc33 but done really want all those tmobranded stuff (since im not in the usa) i guess i can always delete them like i do with the amazon mp3 thing
on the other hand, for some reason my main gmail act is unable to be registered for google checkout and the only and last reply the "google checkout team" sent was "i am unable to use checkout on that acocunt" ive sent them 3 emails after that with no reply whatsoever, and i dont find an 800 number for them =(
I'm in Norway, and thus have no access to paid apps.
I noticed also that MyBackup Lite is no longer available.
I would gladly pay for MyBackup Pro if it was possible, but as I don't have the necessary access to the "paid apps market", and since rerware have no "buy directly from us" option on their webpage, I'm out of luck having MyBackup work the correct way.
So here were my steps to still be able to perform a backup using MyBackup lite, before I'm about to upgrade to 1.5:
1) search google for "mybackup apk" and download the apk
2) use appinstaller to install
So far so good.
4) launch MyBackup - receive the "there's a new version, please upgrade" message
5) answer "no", try different things but still receive the same message. There's no way I can perform a backup to SD
6) Think about it: how is the application able to know there's a new version available? It must poll some servers somewhere
7) enter airplane mode, effectively bring the phone completely offline
8) start mybackup again, perform backup to SD card

maybe i can shed some light on this, as i have had the same problem for a while now. the problem is that if you have any G1 with the ADP firmware on it, NO paid apps will show up in your market. this is done on purpose by Google. Google even has it included in the agreement for any ADP phone... The reason is that the copyright protection does not work on the ADP firmware and all paid apps that are bought on the ADP phone, can be ripped from it and then spread around the internet. I started with the Tmobile g1, and then went to he ADP 1.1 firmware, and i could no longer access any of my paid apps i bought while i had the original firmware on it. Now i have the ADP 1.5 from JF, and still same problem. The only difference i noticed with ADP 1.5, is that the apps do show up in "my downloads" and they will actually install. on my phone specifically though it would only do it over ATT, but not over Wifi... which was strange, but i havent gotten to the bottom of it yet. The apps that are supposedly missing are all there. they are just not viewable in the market with any phone that has the ADP firmware on it.
Thanks,

I briefly read about market enabler on a hero thread somewhere. It sounds like people use this for better market access with cooked ROMS.
I got the actual .apk from here: http://code.google.com/p/market-enabler/downloads/detail?name=MarketEnabler_3.0_beta.apk&can=2&q=
I did very little testing as I am not missing any apps specifically.

So I updated to FroYo manually thanks to the methods posted here. I've nearly reinstalled all my apps with the exclusion of one; Square. I cannot find it in the market and thought maybe the dev pulled it, but it shows up in 2.1 and web-based market browsers, just not in 2.2. Anyone else experiencing this? Can I just force the apk onto the phone somehow?

EDIT: Mods, thanks for moving this to the appropriate forum. I've seen mention of this issue appear in various threads, though no thread of it's own. Will wait for devs to catch up with 2.2
I reported the same problem on modaco last night... I'm sure google will enable de protected apps this week, just a slight oversight on their side.
i had same problem, just put them apk on your sd card and install it. if it is being a stubborn app like a certain few just copy/paste or move them to data/private-app and install from in there. should take care of it 4 u.
Same problem here (Tapatalk Pro and Extended Controls missing).
when you create an app you can set a max api level to support, or not.
applications that have that set won't show on newer devices.
exzeus, square, and a few others seem to have done it...
give them about a month or so and you should see them come around.

Having the same issue here. Wife's N1 can't find WeatherBug Elite, or the Helix Launcher in the market. Even after reboot.
Same. Paul actually fixes it in his roms by changing the Rom fingerprint. Some of the unofficial nexus updates he integrated did the same thing to protected apps. Once fingerprint was changed, it seemed to have done the magic. I'm guessing that he will do the same next week for froyo.
Same here my paid app wont show up which means I may be losing sales so I'm pissed right now

Maybe a dumb question, but I haven't seen a thread dedicated to this, but....
I'm tired of missing apps in the market. How do you side load apps? IS everyone using "Sideload Wonder Machine" from Android Central?
And where do you download the apk files from. Androidzoom only emails you a link to the Market which then can't find the app, SlideME has only half the market apps, same with Handango and Pocketgear. And Phandroid just simply sucks.
Do apps that require a GPS fix simply not install on our G Tabs? That would eliminate A LOT of freakin apps in one shot.
Can anyone offer a little help?
Specifically, I can't find Sunmoon, Living in the sun, Heavens Above, and Predisat. These are all sun and moon phase apps and a few satelite tracking apps. I know, silly and geeky, but I get a kick out of watching the International Space Station fly by at 2am.
Thanks, and thanks for not laughing too hard.

I have a Droid X phone and most apps show for me in the Market. I usually download them on my phone and then using Root Explorer I find the apk or zip file in the app/data folder and copy them over to my DropBox folder (all on the phone).
Then I use Dropbox on my gTab to save them to a directory on my gTab and simply install them that way.
You should really look into getting a DropBox account (free).
Here are the files you were looking for. I've attached them since they are FREE so I hopefully won't be violating any rules. If I am someone please let me know.
Oh my god you are the greatest, for explaining it, and for posting the links for me. Very cool of you.

I thought it was a great question, one that I was wondering the answer to as well. If you don't own an Android phone (yet), then is there a quick tutorial on getting the files onto the gtab? Also, Is it legit to post apk files ready for download? I see it done quite often. If so I wouldn't mind seeing a dedicated thread for new apps people find with the file posted ready for download. The Notion Ink apk's were downloadable straight to the gtab which was great.

I think it depends on the apps. I believe if they are free versions then it is okay.

One way is go to USER CP (top bar on forum screen) and edit your signature to add devices or whatever else you want to say in the signature box. May be another way, not sure.

Thanks, I never saw that USER CP before. I've looked over at my profile settings over and over.

I have searched Google for 2 weeks and no luck finding the .apk. My other phone is an iPhone so I am unable to take it from another android phone. Any assistance would be appreciated
Thanks

sjmoreno - I want to thank you so much.
I could find it everywhere but I could not find the apk to side load. No matter what build [TNT or Vegan] it would not find it in the market or whether in AppBrain it would not let me download it directly to my gtablet
Thanks again! - Awesome!

Yeah, what cbmoore9 said in the post right after your question post. LOL
I hadn't checked the thread in a few days, sorry I missed responding to your question. I usually try to be helpful whenever and wherever I can.
SuperBowl Apps
Now that we have the Android Market it seems to make it even harder for those who don't have an alternative android device to load apps as it states they are not for my device.
Anyone have the Super Bowl XLV app to sideload for the gtablet?
sjmoreno said:
I have a Droid X phone and most apps show for me in the Market. I usually download them on my phone and then using Root Explorer I find the apk or zip file in the app/data folder and copy them over to my DropBox folder (all on the phone).
Then I use Dropbox on my gTab to save them to a directory on my gTab and simply install them that way.
You should really look into getting a DropBox account (free).
Here are the files you were looking for. I've attached them since they are FREE so I hopefully won't be violating any rules. If I am someone please let me know.

I have loads of apk files I was able to find, but I don't know what the phrase (above) simply install them that way, means. Do I double click on it? Once I have an apk file on my gtablet, what do I do with it to simply install it?
Help appreciated.
Bob
And yes, I'm new to this.

Once it's on your gTab you simply select it in any file explorer you're using and it will launch the installer and begin installation for you.
There are several posts here for fixes to get the full Market and I'm one of the unfortunate that none of these fixes work for me. Different roms, countless restarts and FC never worked. I was talking to a friend and he told me to download market enabler. Further digging pointed to me MarketAccess - an updated version without the ads. From what I've heard, Android Market will limit what you can 'see' depending on the service/carrier you have with your cell phone. And since we're on a tablet, that may be why some of us are SOL.
Market Access will trick Android Market into thinking you have a cell phone carrier with your tablet. For example, I chose T-mobile for the U.S. and I now have Kindle and Nook; two apps I couldn't download before.
I'm going to continue testing this and see what else I can get. For now, those were the two I couldn't see and I now have them installed through the Market.
You can find MarketAccess be googling... yes, Market Access. The site should be amip.tools (can't post links yet)
Is this what your talking about?

Are you sure this is safe and legal?
That's it. I didn't see anything that would make this illegal. Do you?

Well not that I see. I would like to here what other members here think of this method though.
I would love to be able to access the full Market too but I am, like you, one whose attempts to fix Market did not work. However, unlike you, even with the fix you led me to, my gtab continues to not be able to see the full Market apps. Bummer. But thanks anyway.

Reggie, Did you try different carriers when running the app? Some apps may be specific to the cell phone service.
Which apps are you looking for anyway?
Yeah this fix didn't really work for me either. Honestly if I need an app badly enough and its not showing I just download to my phone back it up to my dropbox app folder and sideload it right from dropbox on mt g-tab. Works great for me and I have a backup or the app also.
I'm giving it a try and see what it does.

Please excuse this totally noob-like question, but does your phone have to be rooted to do this? I have an unrooted Droid 1 and I'm trying to figure out where the apks live. Also, how do you back up to the drop box?
Thank

Hi,
The webpage says:
"MarketAccess, as well as MarketEnabler requires root available on the device. It means than you need to unlock your phone and install the su application which will manage permissions for other apps that want to get root on the device. Google for details."
Jim
I tried this to look for a specific app. Upon further inspection I don't see anything in there using this that wasn't in there using the Market Fix. Am I missing something? For what its worth, I'm looking for Colorize Widgets.
Thanks for your reply Jim. I must have misunderstood. I thought ecatapano's fix avoided using MarketAccess and MarketEnabler by accessing and "drop boxing" apks from an Android phone then sideloading them to the g-tab through drop box. I just don't know how to get the apks from the Droid to the drop box.

I've seen mention of using Astro file manager to backup, which I guess puts the APK on sdcard, then you have to have dropbox installed on your Droid, and you can then send the APK to dropbox.

I installed the market enabler,or whatever its called. I defaulted to t mobile as my carrier. I'm not certain what you are supposed to do for setup after that. So I went back into Market and found Colorize Widgets. I'm not convinced market enabler had any influence though. Any feedback on using market enabler is appreciated.
I tried it, set to tmobile USA. Still can't see
Adobe flash
adobe air
Firefox
tank hero
I couldn't see colorize Widgets after setting similar so I did market fix - clear cache etc. Then could see it, but still not others above.

Have you loaded Firefox on the g Tab?
I didn't get a chance to mess with this last night. It seems like everyone is trying T-Mobile. Has anyone tried different carriers?
