I got it by going to pandora using PIE. It's a trial for one day. I don't understand why they are charging WM users but IPhone users get this for free.
LOL they want $8.99 a month for this.
Doesn't work for me . . . but then again I wouldn't pay $9 per month either. What link are you using. Are you on AT&T or Sprint (or something completely different)?
free online
but 9 a month ona phone? stupid
but skyfire you can go to it free
makes sense?
Well, I tried the trial and I received an error.
"We're sorry, we encountered an unexpected error. Our engineers are scrambling to fix the problem with your wallet
Error code 12"
Edit: just problem* not wallet. Common typo.

I'm on ATT and I used Pocket IE to open the pandora page. When opened it prompted me to dl the app. It's free for one day and after that it's $9.
When I use Skyfire to open the desk top version of the page I can't enter my UN and Pass. Has someone found a way to enter text using Skyfire?
On Skyfire's forum they say that the browser does not support entering text on flash based sites yet. They are still working on it. My guess is once they get it working Skyfire will be $9 a month also. JMG

You would think it would work over Wifi, not sure about activesync. I'll try over Wifi when I get home.

I can somewhat understand that but $9 a month is way over priced IMHO.
Looks like they took down the servers. I can't connect now, been trying for over an hour and a half. I get the screen that says connecting but thats as far as I get.

How were you able to login to the Pandora site on Skyfire??? I haven't been able to because the login is flash based and skyfire says they don't support text entry into a flash field. I've been trying to find a work around but haven't had any luck.
I just started a trial with a Jetable.org temp e-mail address. Works good so far. If I want to listen again tomorrow I will just create a new jetable address. 9 bucks a month is dumb.
does it ask you to input a credit card? or does it charge your carrier?

as a supplement to the ppc link you can also check the original xda link on dev and hacking forum.
Could someone with a stock att rom go to pandora.com and get the cab and post it here?

I have a FUZE and went to pandora.com/att on pocket ie on my phone and it had two versions. One said trial and one said full. They both appear to be the same size cab file, but here they both are...
EDIT: Works perfectly on vga! Also, I think it is a 2.99 subscription service. This seems to be a one day trial...
dont copy pay ones when theres free ones out
google ppc geeks pandora you will find the cab it works fine but looks funny on vga
Can someone post the free cab here? I don't want to create an account at ppcgeeks just to get the cab there. TIA.

Yeah sorry check that rather get it free. not using an att rom.
This program is frustrating.. Even the trial version only works in 3-4 bar environments and Wifi.. Have they not heard of buffering songs/data before playing or offering the option? Lame..
I downloaded this .cab http://mq.roeiboot.com/apps/pandora.cab from this link http://blogs.msdn.com/aniyer/archive/2008/12/16/pandora-on-windows-mobile.aspx and while the buttons are tiny and it's slightly hard to use, it works perfectly on my verizon TP over my data connection.
I already had an established pandora account and it's always been free to use, I don't know why it'd be any different for anyone else.
well, works perfectly is a hasty statement. it seems to cut off at the end of each song and take a while to load the next song.
you also can't sleep the screen and leave the music playing.
edit: also it doesn't show up in the HTC task manager.
It works on my X1, the buttons are very small, And it takes a long time to skip to the next song, if you leave it going there is no lag between songs. But i can turn of my screen and still have the music going. Love it so very much

AT&T and Pandora have a deal together that you need a subscription for it to work. Not sure why that's really fair considering its still free for the iphone. Here's part of the e-mail I got after starting my "free trial" using the cab from pandora.com/att:
Thanks for trying out Pandora on your AT&T Windows Mobile Phone. We're contacting you to let you know that your free trial will expire on Wednesday, December 17, 2008. If you'd like to continue listening to Pandora on your AT&T Windows Mobile Phone, you can subscribe to Pandora for $8.99 a month. We hope you'll stick around!

There's no way I'm going to pay $8.99 for this.
I downloaded the pandora.cab from ppc geeks and the one you referenced, and it works without a subscription on my AT&T Touch Pro but the UI is terrible for VGA. The buttons and images are all out of place, and I have to use the stylus to click and sometimes have to click somewhere other than the label. Its pretty frustrating.
the ui is annoying but you can use the buttons as well theres instructions at ppc geeks
Has anyone given the AT&T apps a good try to see if any of them are good to keep?
I see instructions out there on how to wipe AT&T off of our phone, but haven't seen anybody comment on why they're wiping the apps off besides to "get rid of the AT&T apps".
I'm just wondering if there might not be one or two of the included apps that are actually worthwhile to keep.
I know one I won't be sorry to delete is the mobiTV one. I loaded it up to the welcome screen then had to step away for a couple minutes. When I came back it kindly told me my 2 minute trial was up... LOL nice! So yeah, unless it really is an incredible piece of software worth buying I'll be dumping that one at least.
Many if not all require additional fees and subscriptions, despite free alternatives.
For example, the AT&T navigator app is $10 a month, but Google Maps is free.
There's also the matter of principle... the fact that AT&T made them non-removable is a compelling reason to get rid of them.
The only at&t app worth using is the att my wireless app that you can down load from the market place. It lets you keep track of your minutes usage, data usage, and change your plan.

I agree. Funny thing is, that's the only app AT&T didn't preinstall on the phone IIRC. I guess they expect you to pay money for their crappy services by default (or by mistaken clicks), but don't want you to have a way to track it so easily.

This is a Samsung app. We'll get it in new ROMS.
Look at about 1:05 on this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3QwvMsBGjE
Yeah I have to say that music app is pretty nice.
Although I just installed one called "Moodagent" that is kind of neat. Haven't had a chance to fully explore it, but it appears to have quite a few features along with the main interface that's a bit gimicky, but cool. It has sliders that you adjust up or down (Sensual, Tender, Happy, Angry, Tempo) and it adjusts the playlist according to the levels you set. Probably old news to everyone else but interesting to me!
everything that is labeled att_nameofprogram is pretty much useless. the other programs like allshare or instant messaging may still be usefull.
Allshare
If you interest in using DLNA, the Allshare app may be a good one to keep. Although, I have one major problem with it: you can only add 1 song at a time to the Queue. What a pain.
But I haven't found any good alternatives yet.
I opened the 'Where' app, and (stupidly) breezed past some part about a monthly charge if I don't cancel. Has anyone else run into this? And if so, do you know how to cancel?
"Where" does AT&T get the idea they can charge for this?
You probably want to call AT&T ASAP to make sure you don't get charged for using the Where app. Also, stop using the included one and download the free one!
Funny story about the Where app:
I had a Nexus One and saw that Where was on a lot of "best app" lists for Android so I went to the market to get it. It was nowhere to be found. After a bit of research, I found some vague explanation about how AT&T had a deal with Where and that they blocked it. This really pissed me off since I paid full price for the N1 with no subsidy from AT&T -- how dare they block apps? Anyway, I found the APK online and installed it.
Later, I rooted my phone and installed the MarketAccess app. Now I could find Where in the Market and installed it from there -- still free of course. When I got the Captivate, the first thing I did was root it. When I saw that Where was pre-installed, I thought "great, now I don't have to jump through hoops to get it." Luckily I saw the warning about being charged, what, $2.99/month to use an app that is free for every user of every other Android phone? I promptly used Titanium Backup to remove the pre-installed version and then used MarketAccess to download the free version from the Market.
The point is that AT&T is really trying hard to charge extra for things that every other Android user gets for free (maps, navigation, Where, etc). Very frustrating. My employer pays for the service on my Captivate and I will be moving my wife's phone (that I pay for) to the Epic 4G at the end of this month after being an AT&T customer for 7 years.
What about AT&T Hot Spots?
I visit Starbucks frequently and occasionally McDonalds. Both offer free WiFi, but require you to check a box and click a button to agree to terms before using it. I know that's not a big deal, but it is a little bit of a hassle especially if I am not planning to use the browser anyway -- I just want to go straight into another app that uses WiFi.
Since I got the Captivate, I've noticed that as soon as I turn on WiFi while at either of these places, I get a notification that says "AT&T Hotspot Detected" or something like that and I am able to use WiFi without having to visit the agreement page in the browser.
Does anyone know whether this app is required for this detection and agreement bypass to function? I have thought about making a backup with Ti Backup, uninstalling, and testing it but am worried that it might not reinstall properly. Also, it might be handy for finding hotspots when traveling -- making it the only useful AT&T pre-installed app.
ATT wifi hotspot app seems to be useful to connect to Attwifi hotspots without having to manually agree to terms
does anyone have a copy of it ?

I have it and will try to make a backup and post it within the next couple of days. It might be Monday before I can do it, unless someone else beats me to the punch.
Update: I still have it on my phone, but it seems that Titaniun Backup only backs up the data, not the APK. I also tried Mybackup Pro with the same result. I have root, so if someone knows how to extract a system app as an APK please let me know. I haven't searched yet, BTW, so if I find out how to do this myself I'll update this post (again).

I swear they are only doing that to mess with us. While it's not hard to completely remove all AT&T ware, it's fairly simple to hide the apps with LauncherPro.

When I first flashed stock 2.2 the media hub was working. I was able to preview movies and rent them via samsung. I flashed cognition and installed the apk from his bloatware pack and no dice. Its back to not working anymore. I assume that media hub version on 2.2 is different than 2.1. Does anyone have the apk for media hub from froyo?

Have not actually purchased a movie yet. I didnt realize it quit working after that.
edit: had the same problem at first, worked for trailers, downloaded fine, didn't play movie.
then I thought what off this is an attempt by att to sell the data plan? I turned off wifi and on edge it acquired the license. confirmed playing movies
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using Tapatalk
Wonder why it would need to authenticate?......sometimes I hate AT&T.
well the license is definitely a samsung thing and has to do with weather you rent or buy the movie so it can be deactivated after 24 when you rent it. I don't know of a reason to only allow the license over cellular, other than to maybe verify with att that you are using a galaxy s device and haven't ported the apk over to another device. or maybe att gets a piece of the pie, and using there network helps them tally it all up.
also you know how att likes to tell you if you use x feature on a phone you purchase we want to add this to your bill. for instance att has data plans that allow tethering that are very expensive, if don't know if they force these plans on phones that support tethering, as far as I know you can't buy such a phone from att. also if you have a smart phone you cant exclude data from your plan unless you have never bought a smartphone from att and you buy the phone outright and make sure smartphone exclusion is on you're plan. just like the unlimited data plan once you get rid of smartphone exclusion you can't get it back as fast as I know, and the network detects the device you are using.
just there way of saying if you want the service you gotta pay us even if we have nothing to do with the service I are getting. its not right but that's what they can do if you sign a contract.
we won't know if its att specific unless we go over to another forum and see what the epic guy are talking about.

I am kind of put off that there's an app for the Windows 7 ATT phone that isn't even out yet. The Android version has been "in the works" for a while now.
The U-verse app is available for the Captivate.

EDIT: Works!!!!!
I just d/l it in market. Does anyone know if it currently works without having u-verse at home? I thought i read for win phone 7 that u wouldnt have to pay for it if u already had it at home would be included.
Im all for paying just didnt see anything on account management for it.

I read that where Windows Phone 7 is concerned that if you don't currently have U-Verse service at home you'd be able to pay some sort of fee and use the limited version of it on your phone. But thats all that was said about it. We can assume this might be something exclusive to WP7 as it appears that AT&T is putting a lot of weight behind the platform.
As far as the Android version, I have U-Verse, and have yet to find any shows or movies that I'm allowed to download to my phone for later viewing. It first requires activation of the service via "manage account", which I did after getting errors the first few times about their systems not being ready or whatever. Then when it worked, I went into my DVR and could download NONE of the programs I have recorded. Apparently downloading is limited to a certain selection of programs. Unfortunately theres no information about what shows, channels, etc can do this.
UPDATE: Ok...so theres very few shows that are available for download. Most of them are Disney Channel stuff, few Animal Planet/TLC/Discovery Channel shows, some ABC stuff.
From ATT Uverse on Facebook:
If you click on the Library tab on the app, you should be able to see what shows are available. That said, we're working on getting more and more programming available on the app. Thanks!

Download content is only available if you have the U300 package. 100 and 200 are not able to see anything beyond their DVR content.
Works great. Glad to see AT&T is supporting Android a little bit.
The app works MUCH better than the web page on the captivate. As for the downloadable content, until they get stuff on there that is actually interesting, I'm certainly not upping my uverse package to the U300.
I do hope that they get it to the point where I can stream my DVR recordings to my phone. Now THAT would be sweet!
Another bonus, a friend has the U300 package. He let me use his account login info to watch the downloadable videos as needed. NICE
I talked to a main att guy over all the stores where i live, and he said that the mobile service is strictly for Windows phone 7 its exclusive right now that u dont need home u verse for it and u can d/l stuff from web with it only on wifi though. and that if u have u verse at home its free and of course can access all that stuff to.
All other phones including iphone will only beable to use app if you are a home u verse user no mobile service for any of those. Windows phone 7 comes with it in a tile and its a feature to enable to d/l content from att's u-verse, i guess on demand stuff.
i tried to download and use this on my samsung moment with no luck
