I have the latest Honeycomb build installed directly on my NC and it is running great. The only major issue I have seen deal with paid apps being unable to communicate with the Google license server. It appears as though, when the app attempts to verify it's license before startup, that the NC does not allow the request to pass through it's WiFi connection. Since the app cannot verify it's license, the app will not run. Has anyone encountered this? Surely there must be a simple tweak to allow the apps to access the internet! Thanks!

Google blocks non-T-mobile IP addresses from downloading premium apps so just make sure you're connected to 3G/Edge and it should download.

Did you move your apps to sd ? This could also be a problem when installing certain apps.

Just where did you get this bit of information? I have update several times my paid protected apps (such as SanpPhoto Pro) over my wifi. Without a hitch. I believe a lot of people are just jumping to ridiculous conclusions, like Google is blocking paid apps to root users, or updates are blocked to root users, or you can't download over wifi, etc. I believe most of these issues are due to the heavy load being placed on the Market Servers during and after the large update that allowed for paid apps. Also something to think about is the fact that the two users in this thread with issues have a similar situation...
The OP bought these apps and then got a replacement phone, perhaps there is something that is keeping it from working on a second device (would make sense, all the paid cell phone apps I used in the past were tied to IMEI numbers).
The last person to post an issue stated they bought the app, then wiped and "rooted" their phone. However, they did not state if they were getting the "Download Unsuccessful" message, so it is not entirely clear if the issue is the same. This could be a similar situation, or it could be indicative of another method of identifying the original installation phone.
I think they may be very closely tied together because there are other things stored on the phone when an app is purchased. There is a zip file in the /data/app directory (which may need to be present for updates to take place, not sure) there is the app in /data/app-private (obviously), but there is also information stored in the /data/dalvik-cache (which may hold the key to these issues - just a guess), and there may be something else I am overlooking.
It is entirely possible that there is data stored on the phone when an app is purchased to help identify the hardware to the market place. I know purchases are supposed to be tied to your Google account, but do not know if the TOS of the Market allow for the use of purchased apps on more than one device. If they do not, there is probably some kind of protection involved.
Just some things to toss about in your heads, may not be anything to what I am saying... But... I could be onto something. Seeing how I am a JFRC33 "root" user, who downloads and update paid apps via my home wifi connection, without any issues. Yeah the first few days or week that paid apps went live there were some issues downloading the updates, but those were felt across the board, and do not exist anymore. Meaning they must have been general issues with the Market, not certain phones/software.
Has anyone been unable to use their Citrix application since GB? It was working perfectly fine before I manually updated to Gingerbread.
Now I am getting a SSL error when I try to log into an application?
Anyone have any advice?
No advice that is helpful... but I know that Citrix on Android uses java's certificate store, and it is missing some root certificates typically found in other stores, which can cause SSL errors...
Just a Monday bump for this to see if anyone else is having this problem.
It seems to be working while on the company wifi. I guess the certificate is verified when on the secure wireless. When I'm on my own mobile data, I get no verification.
Same problem here. Been told you need to manually install the certificate on your phone. I will be trying this soon and let you know how it goes.
Edit: I think google actually reverted their certificate store in 2.3.3 to what was in 2.1. Most references to this issue indicate a server config change (cross-root) is required. Not sure if adding a cert on the phone will help, but I am still working through it.
Citrix released an update that addresses this. I updated and it works fine now for me.
Which update (for which Citrix product) was this problem fixed in?
Thanks!
I'm using Citrix Receiver v2.0.1063 and everything works fine, no problems at all.
I've successfully rooted my Nook STR using all information from here and the video at the-ebook-reader.com on rooting Nook STR. After updating the market, I can even get to search the market.
But there are several apps that I am not able to download because the market informs me that they are not compatible with the STR. How do they come to that conclusion?
And there is a way to download the app anyway, disregarding the android phone/tablet I have? There are several cool free apps that I'd like to try.
Are you sure the apps are compatible with Android 2.1? (The STR is 2.1. Some apps require 2.2, a few require 3.0
And where can I get that information? I searched on the app page in the market and didn't find it. Is this the reason why some apps are blocked for the STR? Android version? If it is, it's good to know.
If you access the Play Store on a regular computer you will see the Android version requirements for each app listed at the end of the app description. If your device is recognized by the Play Store (mine is seen as a "phone") then it will only allow you to download apps that it "knows" are compatible with your device. It can "see" that the NST runs Android 2.1. Even at that, some "compatible" apps simply fail to run on the NST or have limited functionality so it's a bit hit-and-miss. Sometimes you can track down an older version at the author's website (Perfect Viewer is an example) which will work on 2.1. So looking at the Play Store for something you want may not always be an exercise in frustration but you may have to go the extra km to get what you want.
Currently using a Nexus S 4G running Pete's GPA 19 and current Pete kernel. Reading news reports on the new Cluzee app which appears to be a Siri "like" app for android.
When I try to download the app from the web based market it states that my device is not supported. Anyone running the same phone/equipment as I able to run Cluzee?

Patience is a virtue...... the program is now downloading and installing.
cant find the app in market, on ICS in UK.
I accessed market.android.com on my laptop. After logging in with my google credentials I simply indicated the device on which I wanted the program installed. The web site did the rest. However be advised that I am not on ICS.
I got a notification that an installation failed while I was sleeping. (It failed, most likely, because my play store/services are broken at the moment.) I didn't request the installation and it's not an update.
-I'm running a trimmed stock ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2720664
-My Google pass is decent, and I haven't been logging in on anything but my own hardware.
-I'm not running any other apps by this developer
-Google account security shows no strange, or even recent, logins
-Wifi was on and connected, bluetooth was off
-I'm on a new wifi network with weak security
Here's the app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=it.medieval.blueftp
Any insights or questions before I wipe?

Someone walked into your room and tried to download it while you slept. Don't know of any methods of accessing and controlling an Android phone without having other software previously installed first.
Yeah, my best guesses are:
a rogue app / ROM (though I've only installed apps from the play store)
a malfunction in the play store servers
a hacker sniffed my auth token for Google over wifi somewhere (I've been on a couple of public-ish networks lately)
I can't imagine a malfunction on the phone's end that would successfully trigger the install of a specific, new app.
