Anyone else have this happen to them? I was in the middle of a game of Rio when the update notification came through for the Amazon App Store application (not for a Rio update, just the App Store itself), so I updated that app and seconds later Rio closed out. Upon relaunching Rio, I found that all of my saved progress had been wiped clean. WTF?

That did not happen to me, the only difference I can think of was that I was not running the game during the update.
My progress is still there (thankfully, had to run and check, lol). If there's a risk of this though, that's a HUGE problem.
Rovio really needs a backup service for this (possibly even a syncing service for those of us using a phone and a tablet). It's really ludicrous how easy it is to lose your Angry Birds progress.

Ive got a non-rooted android 2.1 Droid Eris. Ive downloaded the angry birds full APK to my phone, one from getjar and one from a mirror. They are both in my downloads folder on my SD card. Whenever i try to install either file, the phone says im out of space. I uninstalled and cleaned up alot of stuff. It seems i only have 31mb of free space but i dont think that would be a limitation. I dont know how big this damn game is but id think 30mb is enough. Why am i having this issue and how do i get about it? Im now less interested in playing the game and much more interested in not letting it defeat me haha.
One work around is to use apps2sd. That'll install it for sure. That's the only way I managed to install large games like this and Krazy Kart Racing.
Keep in mind Angry Birds is not fully compatible with mdpi devices. It'll install but you'll experience the dreaded white background/terrain as well as some lag on certain levels.
*Edit* Never mind. I see you're not rooted. Disregard.

Got it. Used appbrain and fast web installer and that did the trick.
Someone mentioned something about opengl es 2? Could we use that to boost performance of this game?

I've noticed many people saying that Angry Birds is not available on the Nook Color's Android Marketplace -- Just Angry Birds Seasons.
Well I just downloaded Angry Birds by going directly to the Android Marketplace website: https://market.android.com/
It downloaded and installed perfectly.
Just thought you'd like to know.
Wow thanks, I've tried downloading angry birds from the market many times and it would never let me, but for some reason it works now! Maybe today's update had something to do with it?
The Best game

this is the best game ever and it is very addictive
Was just updated to 1.5.2 as well.
Check out Amazon. They have an App store now. Supposed to have a free paid app every day. I got Angry Birds Rio just a minute ago...
A free paid app?
EDIT: OH, I see what you mean... cool
I love the amazon app store, now we will have access to all the paid apps with no hacks (assuming the developers of the apps make the move.)
Not available in my geographic location..... The wild, freezing tundra of the great white north. I suppose after today's seal hunt, and before I start today's grapple with that damn polar bear, I'll find some third party site to download the apk from.
I wonder why they are charging for regular angry birds and other free apps on it when you can get them for free on the google android market
I am more than pleased w/ the Amazon app store. Took me 5 mins to set it up first thing this am, and within 5 mins it recognized my G tab with no issues.
Works much better than the Android market place. No need to do Market fixes when they do updates.

That would be the "AD free" version sir
They also have the ad supported free one on the market as well
It'll be interesting to see how they're market handles multiple devices and frequency for updates.
Only negative I've seen so far, is that the apps seem to take quite a bit longer from amazon. Uninstalled AB and then downloaded and installed from android market, then downloaded and installed from amazon market, took 3 almost 4 times longer to download from amazon.
Angry Birds RIO
I also downloaded the Amazon app, and then at the top Angry Birds RIO showed for free download. Had some initial issues with my password, I could not get my regular Amazon password to work same as my mobile.. But all is well, and Angry Birds RIO plays great... I look forward to their future fee offerings, and I also found it works a lot better than Marketplace.

Anyone running Amazon Appstore on stock rom GTablet?
It works great on my VEGAN-tab but when I try to install it on my stock GTablet, I receive an error: "There was a temporary error logging in. Please try again in a few moments."
I tried again a few moments later over and over again all day, and still no luck. I couldn't even download the app properly...had to transfer via USB. Only to get this error message.
But in my VEGAN-tab, downloaded, installed and ran absolutely perfectly.
Anyone else having this problem? Any ideas why?

I noticed that as well. I am thinking (hoping) that it is due to the fact that it just launched and they are swamped a bit. Will know better after a couple weeks.
Still over all I like it. It seems to work pretty smooth on my ancient G1
I have stock rom and it works fine. A little slow like others have said but this is good for me without access to market apps. Nice to be set up already as an Amazon customer.

I used the same amazon account on all 3 of my devices and anything I purchased or was available for install on all 3 devices. So I guess you can install an app that you purchased on as many devices that you own without paying separately for each device, which is how it should be. You paid for the software and should be able to use it on any device you wish within reason. +1 for amazon! I hope they don't change this.
Tank Hero
For those that couldn't get tank hero on the upgraded market with Vegan you can now get it with the Amazon Market, gonna search for a few other things that were missing from the Android Market. Me Likey!!

Not sure what the problem was, but a factory reset seemed to clear it up.
I am definitely excited about the Amazon app store. It looks like a great alternative for tablets without Market access. But beware that one-click ordering...sometimes too easy is not a good thing!
It is the whole app and website that is slow. Every part of the process takes longer than Market. However, there are a number of things I can't find on the Market that I could at Amazon. Kudos overall.
Even if it stays slower I am liking it. It is not like I will install software every day. I found it nice that I could go to the app website make the purchases and then at my convenience install them on my device.
I don't have my GTab yet so I am really living in the slow lane with my venerable G1

Yes, I am as well.
After browsing around, I am willing to trade the speed for truly functional search. The ability to filter the listings alone makes it a winner over the Market.
If you are running HC or another ROM and can't seem to get the standard Market to work, I had it working in the past but on my last attempt to reflash i can't get it to work. The Appstore from Amazon seems to work and install on my HC Nook, However just because it install doesn't mean the app you download off of it will run properly. I am having trouble with angry birds rio for example.
I'm not sure if there are any legal things against this like with the market on CM7 or some of the other roms that don't include the market. But after a quick glance and the legal bit in the app there doesn't seem to be. Hope this eases some of the issues with getting apps.
yea i just installed this on my rooted NC and tired to install angery birds Rio and it told me i need an SD card inserted :/

Do you have an SD card inserted?
Because if you don't, that's just an annoyance. If you do, then it's a serious problem.
In any case, I expect that's an app issue, not a store issue, unless the store doesn't allow refunds for defective products.
no I didnt think i needed it. I didnt have to on my captivate phone. so why would I need it on the NC?
Its only worth it for Angry Birds RIo

Some apps insist on storing data on the SD card and fail if you don't have one.
That doesn't sound like the case here, though, if AB Rio works on your phone without one.
Beats me.
who need it?
It won't install for me (angry birds rio). I can download the app store, and download the app, but installation never seems to work. Boy what does this remind me of...
I got the Amazon app store to install and I was able to download Angry Birds Rio onto my Honeycomb v4 Nook Color, but it does nothing but crash when I try to play the first level. Not sure what the issue is. Anyone else got this working?

Rio isn't the only thing...Amazon has apps listed cheaper than google market, like Fruit ninja for example.
Plus, a different app discounted to $0 every day.

I installed the Amazon App Store and then Angry Birds Rio and they both work fine on CM7.
Amazon app store won't work in Canada. Too bad
The Amazon App Market installs all apps on the sd card. I am not entirely sure why this is just yet.

Did anyone with HC 3.0 rooted internally, have an issue installing this to the SD card?
Ok, it must be Rio because Paper Toss installed just fine.
I'm running Nookie Froyo on a sd card and the Amazon Market loaded and works and Angry Birds Rio downloads and works fine.

Installing Angry Bird Rio to a HC Nook Color is easy (you just need to move the app from the SD card back to phone -- ie, the NC), but you won't get past the intro of the first level. You will hear a few birds' noise and then the app will close itself.
Appstore installed but when I try to download AB Rio it tells me there is nothing to download.
I don't always keep the best track of stuff, but when I woke up I found an email saying that today Peggle was free for download. I went to the page then tried to "buy it" via the amazon appstore app on my coom and got an incompatible error. But, I didn't give up, no, I just "bought it" from the site and when it showed up in the download area on my amazon appstore app I downloaded it and it installed and is working as well as plants vs zombies on my Xoom.
I can confirm that the method OP used, does in fact work. Was getting the same incompatible device message, and getting it through the website worked. Was able to "buy" Peggle and then it showed up in the downloads on my Xoom.
Not available in the Market?

Not as of now. For now it is sadly only Amazon appstore exclusive.
Thanks, work for me to (purchase from the web and install from the amazon app)!
Where do you purchase from the web? What's the website.
I must be spoiled because I'm already craving a THD version. Looks too blurry to me

I wouldn't mind a THD version, but to be the graphics are good enough expecially for a game I got for free, but to be honest I am hoping they just update like the maker of angry birds did instead of us having to "buy" the game again...
Actually, to be honest I find this to have better graphics then PvZ which is odd bc Amazon said that PvZ was good with Tabllets and that Peggle wasn't
PVZ graphics are way better. At least the version I have. The game is fun though. Thanks OP for the trick to make WIFI downloads work. The game is fun and takes me back to my Shenmue days when I would spend a lot of time playing a similar game.
I was able to install from the appstore app on xoom just by trying a few times. Works perfectly.
