Anyone have a problem with their amazon app icons disappearing from their apps? I rebooted and several are gone. I can launch them by going through the amazon app, but it's a pain in the butt.

I always seem to lose an amazon app every time I flash a rom/update a rom. Never fails, usually the last one that I installed. Whether I TiBU'd days before flashing or immediately before.
But as far as the icon's disappearing, not having that issue.
You could always try to un/reinstall the apps... the apks should still be on your phone.... I haven't heard much about the icon disappearing, are they also gone from the app drawer?
As for jonnie... this may sound asinine but are you sure you ran TB after the lastest install and before the flash? That may be why the last app installed would be gone
Good Luck
PM me & let me know how it goes

The market does the same thing with all apps that you've purchased. And technically you're purchasing everything from the amazon app store.

+1 Be it free or paid, in Amazon market, everything is considered purchased.
So...lets say I got the app when it was free. If I uninstall it...then decide I want it later, when its not free, do I pay or does amazon know I got it when it was free?

I got talking cat when it was free. Then uninstalled. Now its $0.99 in amazon. But for me, I can still find it under "my apps" for free.
Once purchased is purchased, u'd become immune to future price changes.

Yes they still offer it for no cost. Once purchased, free or not, Its yours for good. It is your amazon account that records it.

OK I think I have figured it out... or at least a theory. I was in Korea at the time when it happened. I'm now back in the USA and after a reboot, they are back again. It's got to have something to do with location.

I think you figured it out. I know right after I flashed a custom rom, my amazon mp3 app started showing that I was in EU not US because the local had been changed so I couldn't buy mp3's till I fixed it. Media laws prevent me from using EU mp3 app.

I found that a couple of my apps from amazon were on the SD card. When I rebooted, the icons were not on the home page. After moving them to the phones memory, no more probs. Give it a try!
All mine are already there, so that rules that out.

Some may or my not know that amazon is kicking off their store by offering 1 free app every day.. now if you already downloaded the app just click on the icon and its on the front page... but for the rest of you follow the link below.
todays app is Farm Frenzy
i have not been able to download the APK for the amazon store yet. i have been trying for 2 days now. Does anybody have this?
Here you go.
I was skeptical about their app store at first but now I really love it. My family all shares one Amazon account so if one person buys an app we can all use it. Plus this free-app-a-day sceme that was so popular on iOS is now on Android. Excellent work, Amazon.
So Happy Its Thursday

Go to any drug store and get a Visa/MC/Amex gift card with whatever little denomination. Amazon needs to have a card on file *in case* you ever ACTUALLY buy something. Standard practice.

Shazam is a cool app I thought about buying it full price before. It tells you the name of a song after listening to it
so when i downloaded the app. i input all of my information. and it keeps saying i need to add a default address to be able to purchase...But i have put a default addres... and all my info..including a card on file. Wtf
It's actually easier to set up an amazon account online and then just sign in from the app...just FYI. Saves headaches
So I am also hearing that apple is crying over a copyright over the name appstore and suing amazon....and he told m thee amazon app store is going t be shut down soon anyone know about this?

Hey everyone I'm currently on my gtab on xda site through the browser. I'm having a problem with xda app when I login and try to go into a topic the app force closes but if I don't sign in it lets me into a topic. Any solutions?
Yea, it's a known issue. There hasn't been a fix for it yet.
Well, that's a bummer... I just got my gtab and this was one my first purchased apps. Any news?
OK, because no one wanted to help with this I did some searching and discovered the amazon version is not up to date. There is a newer version on the google market that works as it's suppose to. I say either update the amazon app or take it down! I should get a refund for having to buy it twice...

There are various reports over the last few months that the XDA app (free version) crashes on devices that do not contain an IMEI (i.e. tablets). The 'premium' version of the app does not have this issue. I would suggest someone try the premium app to confirm/deny this issue exists for this device.
and again.. .. and do you have to have the paid version to upload images?

I started with the premium app, then tried the xda HD, still same problem. Only thing left to try is the Tapatalk for another 3.00 $.I would spend another 5.00 bucks if I knew it would be OK, but I have no guaranty that its going to work !

Paid version of Tapatalk is working just fine for me here and on other forums I visit. Granted, I'm using the 7" tablet, but it should be the same I would hope.
I need to Unroot my tab and see if apps work properly without root. At that time I'll figure out if I need to try tapatalk or not.

main thing with tapatalk is money. Anything free whether glitchy and force closing or not is going to be used over something that costs even 99 cents. Take a poll.

Tapatalk has big footprint and it's disinged with slot of extra resources to work with a lot of other forums that I don't use. Not my cup of tea , I rather have a specific app for what I need.
Thank anyway.

**************** issue resolved *****************
Problem solved by unchecking kill app after leaving in development settings ,"developer options" "do not keep activities". I had this checked thinking it would save me battery.
It was this setting that was causing me problems with my xda apps closing.

I have several times since receiving my phone yesterday; works great. Also was a nice conversation starter with the cute cashier behind the register.

Awesome, Glad to hear that! Haha.
I'm looking forward to trying it out for the first time. Maybe I can impress my wife? Lol but probably not.
I'm pretty new to how to use it/where you can use it ... I assume wherever the "Pay Pass" type things are you can use it? Nothing proprietary?

I used it for the first time today since getting my phone 2 days ago. The cashier looked at me like I was crazy and kept telling me to swipe my card. I had to stall her until it printed out a receipt. It will definitely take some time to catch on!

That's funny. I would have just looked at them awkwardly until the receipt printed. Then silently walked away.

Yes you can select the one you would like to use at that point in time..... there is a " select card" button. And if you want to use another card you just hit that button again for that card
From what I've heard and seen, you can select which one to use when you open the app. Can't be 100% sure on that as I've never used it, but hopefully someone can confirm.

Pretty much anywhere that has a PayPass terminal. I say "pretty much anywhere" because even if they do have it, they might actually have it turned off. Best Buy is one such place that has the terminals but has it shut down (tried it in the past at 3 different locations with my Galaxy Nexus). I've read that it's supposedly because it costs them too much to operate, but who really knows.
Off the top of my head of places I've used it in that all work: CVS, Rite Aid, Duane Reade, McDonalds, 7-Eleven, and BJ's Wholesale Club.
To help you out even further, download the Mastercard PayPass Locator app. It'll bring up a list of locations near your current location that should have the terminals installed.

It honestly doesn't matter what you tell them. It'll process as whatever your selected card is, but if it's a debit card you won't have to put in your pin number. Tap, and go.
Has anyone else noticed that the XDA app sometimes loads a thread immediately and then other times it gets "stuck" where it can take a very long time to load? When it gets stuck, I can click back and then click the same thread again, which sometimes will load it quickly. I notice the exact same behavior in the Amazon app when clicking a product. It happens on both WiFi and LTE and has happened with every version of android so far on the N6.
I use XDA and Amazon all the time so this is a particularly frustrating issue for me.
UPDATE: here is a video demonstrating the problem with the Amazon app:

Which XDA app? Theres like a million of them. One of the tapatalk versions?
I'm using the XDA premium app.
I'm not convinced that it's an issue specific to the app though because I didn't notice this on my Nexus 4 and the exact same issue happens in the Amazon app.

XDA premium is based on Tapatalk and Tapatalk has problems on this forum. Its specific to this forum too, because taptalk works fine on other forums I use. I think the API on XDA for Tapatalk is outdated and since XDA are working on their own new XDA app (XDA One), they're probably not going to be too bothered to fix it.
Not sure about Amazon
Tapatalk has gone into the toilet over the years at this point I would honestly pay to go back to an old version. The iOS version is such a monstrosity and just so horrible its at the point of being unusable. if the thread I want actually comes up and displays I feel like I've won something.

Thanks for the replies. Seems like this might be something a new XDA app could fix.
Here is a quick video I made showing the Amazon issue:
Amazon App getting stuck on Nexus 6: https://youtu.be/bjDayQJVV3g
The first 2 products open fast and then the third gets stuck. I click back and re try 5 times and on the last try, it opens fast like the first 2 did. Anyone else have this issue with Amazon?
Yes you are correct ..Those are the worse two apps to get "stuck".. Only other app is WWE SUPERCARD..Every other app is fine..I do believe it is app issues not phone related.
