Weatherbug gone from Market

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:
http://weather.weatherbug.com/mobile/android.html
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?

Two Facebooks?

When I go to Manage Apps I see Facebook and Facebook for HTC Sense. Can I delete one? I'm trying to free up space but I don't want to screw up anything.
I'm rooted with Damage Control v2.09.01

Yes, you can remove one or both. I removed facebook app that came packed with ruu and reinstalled through market so I could delete it through market later without having to adb rm.

Thanks again raz! I was hoping to delete the one that came with the ruu, but I didn't want to blow it and lose Facebook. I'm too much of a FB junkie.

A bit off topic, but you should update your ROM. DC is at rev 3.2.X now. Check the second post of the main thread as it's the one being updated currently (July 15, 2010)
Also, I'm pretty sure you want to keep HTC for Sense...I think it's the one that sync contact photos. At least that is the one I always enable in accounts and my contact pics show up every time.
Cheers!

You're right about Facebook for HTC. When I removed it I lost my pictures in my contacts.
I tried installing DC 3.1.2 but I got an error and couldn't install it. I want to do the latest version but it says you have to do other steps first for 4G. Do I still have to do them on my Hero or is that only if yore doing it on Evo?
Until I can figure it out I'll have to stick with what I have.

DC 3.2.X is for the EVO.

So what is the highest version to use with the Hero? Maybe that's why the one I tried wouldn't work.

2.09.01

Thanks sierpinski13. I was only trying to go higher because someone mentioned I wasn't using the latest version. I wish I would have known sooner that I was already on the best one for the Hero. I had to go set everything up again after 3.1 didn't install.
That's partially my fault, I forgot to do a nandroid. Oh well, I'm good now.
I almost wish I had the Evo but it's more per month and I don't think there's much 4G service around here anyway. I really have no complaints about my Hero.

Is there a way to get the Facebook for Sense apk without having to go back to the Sprint RUU and start over? I can live without it but I lost my pictures on my contacts and I think I'd like those back if I don't have to go through a lot to do it.

Any sense rom should have htc Facebook built in. You could also try an app called syncmypix.

[Q] T-mobile Nexus 1 users I need help verifying...

I need a favor from Tmo users. Been trying to find T-mobile Visual Voice Mail app on the market. Have had zero success. Figured it might be the ROM I'm running GeosROM. Last night I wanted to completely start from scratch as my phones been buggy.
Completly unrooted down to the original shipping image. When I updated back to FRF91 I saw it in the market while downloading ROM Manager again. Rooted went back to Geos couldnt find it. Went back to the original shipping image and checked it wasn't there. Updated to FRF91 still not there.
Grabbed the wife's Mytouch slide unrooted checked the market not there. Is this app still available? Can anyone verify it is not on the market anymore?

I can't find it... T-Mo and CM 6.1

Just use Google Voice, it's easier. Plus it emails you, which is great for when I'm at work on WiFi but no cellular.

Removed !! I guess
I haven't been able to find it in market for more that 3 weeks. Looks like they have permanently removed it. I install from a backed up every time I wipe clean.

Thanks really appreciate you guys taking the time
I used google voices before tmobiles came out. Guess it's time to go back.

sold my rooted hero-new owner can't activate?

hey all. so i recently sold my old sprint hero that was rooted to cm6 and the new owner says that sprint hasn't been able to activate it to their account? is this normal? when i sold it, i did a reset to clear my data but i left it rooted (at their request). can someone tell me the easiest way to tell them how to unroot the phone? from speaking to them, i get the impression that they don't know much about this type of thing.

You guys should meet back up and you should flash a sense rom for them.
Only way for them to activate.

that's what i was afraid of. i sold the phone on ebay so it isn't someone local that i can meet with. so would you say that the easiest route would be for me to create a micro sd for them to boot from (someone else rooted my phone for me, but i rooted my nook color this way)? do you know offhand where i could find instructions to do this? i searched the android development forum but didn't see anything that dealt with going back to stock.

Tell him to flash a sense rom...

You're going to have to walk them through on how to get to recovery to flash, but just download liquidsense 2.1

I found this guide and found it very helpful it has a ton of stuff.. for your issue see Factory Reset not too far down.
Hero Root Guide

Just use the ruu in zip format is does it all for you in one file. Just send him the zip, tell him to put it on his sd, power the phone off, plug in the charger, hold down volume and power and 15 min later wham pure stock. No root no recovery. Just like out of the box
Yea it's me again. The one with the -Modified-Hero

Don't Quote me but, I'm Thinking the new owner should be able to Activate it by phone! At least I was able to with Mine! If not try just installing a 2.1 sense Rom and Delete the Superuser App, From my Experiences Chances are they Won't even Check for Root!!
Good Luck!

Wither way they need to reprogram the phone for his phone number, and the only way to do that is use the hash codes which only work on sense roms. Otherwise, if you know your way around qpst, you can do it from stock.

Gingersense 2.3.4 [Tazz Port] HTC Hub Fix

hey guys, me and Tazz have been troubleshooting HTC Hub to see why it won't connect and we'd appreciate your help. Whatever you can think of that may help, let us know and test it out yourself! Thanks y'all.
So far, I've gotten it to connect once by replacing the htchub apk with the one from the Mild Salsa 2.3.3 rom. it won't connect anymore though, let us know what y'all come up with!

As far as HTC hub not connecting have you tried to logcat?

I got it to work fine on my phone. I went to HTCSense.com on my PC and signed up there. I lied and said that I had a Desire S. After signing up, you have to confirm your email address, then sign in on your phone. So, I went to the menu to add a widget on my phone and clicked on "Get more HTC widgets." Then, I just had to sign in on phone with the information that I used when I signed up on my PC. Everything worked, and since then I've been able to access everything on the hub that I wasn't able to access before.
I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, but hopefully it is. Good luck. Oh, and sorry for the messy explanation.
