I'm running CM5.07.1 right now, so obviously my browser's not Flash-enabled. But could anyone who is running a Froyo ROM please try out Grooveshark and tell me if it works/performs acceptably? It's about the one thing that truly matters to me as far as Flash content goes, as the Android app it offers sucks something terrible.
Have you tried the new Grooveshark app that was just released a couple of days ago? Still not the best but a lot better than the original app.
this is still a closed beta correct?
The Grooveshark app is only for VIP members (meaning paying $30 a year or $3 a month). Otherwise, you can use the website for free and its supported by ads.
Yep, and I don't feel like paying to stream music (hissss). The website didn't run with Flash lite, so I was wondering if the "real" Flash in Froyo plays nicer with it.
Did your app auto-update?
I don't remember seeing mine update, ill check it out tho
Edit: I don't even see grooveshark on the market anymore? Froyo newest release-FR72
I checked for updates and found it. I also saw some people talking about it on Twitter. It is a big upgrade though... It now lets you play higher quality songs over wifi and an overall better layout. Still wish it could be as good as the website, but hopefully it will get there someday.
Are you updating from the market?
Yeah, got the update from the market. I'm running stock 2.1 on AT&T. It came out a couple of days ago and has the new icon that has the white sharkfin, you might have already gotten it.
Nope, 2.2 not seeing even the original in the market place.
Think you can upload the app?
I love grooveshark, but this original app sucks!
Thanks in advance,
Blake
I don't know how to find where I got the .apk file from since I just got from the market, but you might try going to http://m.grooveshark.com/ and see if you can download it from there.
Looks like they also have some updated screenshots here - http://m.grooveshark.com/phones/android
That looks SO much better than the old version!
Yea market isn't seeing it and trying to download it from grooveshark.com
didn't work either.
thanks for trying with the .apk
Guess i'll just have to wait until they update there app for 2.2
Old thread but...
Anyone having serious issues with Grooveshark not seeing your subscription correctly or not downloading play lists, etc?
I'll add to the fire...I'm having issues with Grooveshark as well. I'm on 2.2 and keep getting the "IO error preparing stream" issue.
Any help would be great.

market...not working for me.
Initially, I downloaded and installed pacman and shop savvy. After the upgrade came through which put me at RC28, the market doesn't seem to work properly. When I click on the app I want, it looks as if the download is happening, but when I check download notifications, it says download unsuccessful. I've tried this on several apps...all have failed.
Heads Up - Market
In case you haven't looked lately, there are a dozen or so new apps today
and still nothing worth downloading
I second that. I am about to put the g1 up until something worth a sh*t comes out. But that's just me.
when did u get the update and did u have a choice to update or did it do it automatically,i'm just curious cuz i haven't got it yet
Did you try the download with 3G on??
If not, try it with 3G
We needed a new thread for this info?
The following morning after I got the phone.....there was a window after the unlock sequence. There did not appear to be an option, it just executed the update. I've tried both wifi and 3g....both don't work.
I noticed that I am having issues with some applications in the market. They will fail... I kept redownloading them till they finally came thru.
I haven't got the update yet. I think this is just because the market is getting soo many new applications and such it probably is having hard times with it all.

I read by Nov. 2nd it getting out there, hang in there.
As long as the software states that its a trial in the listing I dont have a problem with it. Someone will write a free version at some point. I would want to be paid for my work too
Most of the apps aren't trials, and the ones that I've seen that are thus far are clearly marked.
I don't mind, since it's not some large majority of applications that are timebombed or limited trials. You would expect some people to not want to give away their stuff, and there's not a huge flow of apps just yet.
Like all open source, I'm very enthusiastic to see what the market produces in the free category - I'm sure it's going to be impressive.
I don't know if the location of were I am located in the US but the I downloaded the widely talked about SHOPSAVVY application and doesn't seem to work well. Sure its free but it doesn't give me the nearest stores and only one or two online suggestions. WEAK SAUCE in my oppinion. I also saw and downloaded (by accident) trialware which I too believe should be in a different catagory. There were not a big selection of apps that were worth my time. Dissappointed
funny you say that because I always have my GPS on and I did it while I was outside. OH'well

This is ridiculous and I dont know who to contact to fix this. All these (****ty) apps are popping up in the app store as free, but really are trials, or even ADVERTISEMENTS for the actual product you must buy. I hope who ever is running the app store fixes this. Im disappointed because they said the apps would be free until next year but developers are making their own way around this rule to charge users for their ****ty apps.
This is one of the reasons i miss my windows mobile phone so much, because of all the excellent developers who created software for free, and diddnt try to make a pretty penny.

Its BETA so developers are going to put out BETA apps for people to test then they will charge for the final product. If you don't want to pay for apps then don't. Stop *****ing the damn phone/OS just came out. There will be free apps eventually, you can't even compare to Windows(WHICH HAS BEEN OUT FOR A LOT LONGER).
I understand your anger. Trial versions in my world ARE NOT FREEWARES! It's called SHAREWARE and are completely another kind ob beast. I'm REALLY PICKY at what I'm adding to our directory of free Android software and there is no chance for a trial, shareware or a demo to get inside. I'm myself sick of all these "smart promotion strategies" by developers and I hope Googlers at Android Market will sort this out soon (but I fear they won't interfere too much). Let's see!

Just found the Pandora app in the Android market while browsing around. So very happy. Here's the info on the Pandora site.
A little buggy but still worth it
Doesn't work on Hero installations. (or at least my Hero installation)
I get this error message:
Sorry, your device is currently not supported. Model: hero
i feel discriminated against..grr heros just a heavily skinned 1.5 why wouldnt it work
They really need to make this work with Hero...especially since Hero is specifically listed on their site as a compatible handset.
Is there a work around for this bullox rubbish? Seriously thinking about putting cyanogen back just for pandora.
I kept opening the app and on like the 4th try it just started working. It's working really well now.

Overall, the experience is pretty good! It's not the same experience that you'd get on a Core i5 laptop, but more like the experience you'd get an Atom machine.
Next step is to read up on overclocking this to 1.5Ghz, anyone done that yet?
That should put us closer to a full desktop internet experience!
No doubt when these mobile cpu's hit 1.5-2.0ghz and Android is at ver 3.2+, we won't have to give up anything to experience the internet on a tablet.
SIDENOTE: So, my 12yr old cousin has an iPad and when we were playing with it, he would always say, "oh, that site doesn't work, I have to wait for them to make an app"-- so, wait...a lot of these apps are just reproductions of these websites but in app form.
Well, that's probably a significant reason why the iPad will always have more apps. It's because you can't access the site in any other way. So, if you take that into consideration, by having Flash Player 10.2 now, we have access to all these websites that DON'T NEED an app version in order to experience their content. So, how many "apps" does that open up for us?
I would say a lot more than 65,000! Okay, I looked it up. We now have access to over 1.4 million apps!
Where's the flash 10.2 apk?????? Please share.
Nevermind, got it.
Thanks guys got it!

Sorry admins, I may have posted this in the wrong forum, maybe you could please move it to general? It was late last night when I found out my Xoom updated and wanted to make this demo right away.
BTW, to get the most out of this, you'll probably want to change your user agent to Desktop

Works pretty well! Used last.fm streaming with no problems. Gotta try some flash games...
So a few days ago, I flashed the Larger Than Life EF17 ROM that recently came out. I loved having a rooted Tab with Froyo so i jumped when i saw it in Gingerbread.
I am having one annoying problem though. I am unable to find a few apps on the Anidroid Market that were there on stock Gingerbread. The main two i can think of are Netflix and Documents2Go. I purchased the activating/key program for D2G and can find that but no luck on the main app.
I dont absolutely need Netflix but D2G is my favorite office app and use it nearly daily.
The other oddity is that in the latest market, it shows Books for purchase but i dont see a single movie to rent. The entire movie section is missing from the market.
I understand this is likely causes by the device fingerprint but i dont know what to change it to.
Does anyone have any ideas on what i could do to get back the apps i had in stock EF17? I would have replied to the ROM thread in the Development forum but i havent posted enough on the xda forums to do so.
There are ways to fix the symptoms very easily, but it won't fix the problem you're describing. I've got a netflix apk I can post that should work(don't have d2g). But like I said, won't make apps come up in the market.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
i've got the same issue, and cannot update my system apps in the market (says I am up to date, even though I am not).
i keep just pulling them down off my phone and emailing them to myself, but that gets old
Sup Nation,
I am assuming this has been posted in other forums, but I bet there are people like me that only look at the Vivid, Raider, Velocity section of XDA.
But I thought I would post up a link to get the new Google Play app.
Google have renamed the "Android Market" to "Google Play"
It has a slightly different UI on the phone, and the Google Play Website has been updated too.
Here is the UPDATED VERSION link
The main improvement to the app: under the My Apps menu, you can see Installed and All Apps in a separate tab. This allows you to re-download any app you've previously tried and deleted, or paid for and uninstalled, bringing the functionality more in line with the desktop portal.
Enjoy people!
I liked the sound of Android Market better, but they both serve the same purpose so w/e
Im guessing this is only on ICS?
no.. I ran into it today on my stock vivid.. scared the crap out of me.. thought I DL something that will cost me.. haha
Its cool though.. I'm new to all of it.. but on their site it will tell you what program will work for your phone and it will send it to your phone and install it.. without any connection to your PC or home network.
A rose by any other name is still a rose.

Nope, it's a market update. I'm running Gingerbread and just got it the other day. Anyone have any idea why they decided to do this? It seems a bit unnecessary, and personally, I liked the Android Market a lot better. This just makes it seem like a game store for kids or something. I don't like it.
