I just bought a paid app on an ADP1

Its wierd, when I was running JFv1.41, the paid apps were not on the market... Now that Im back to stock (after the holiday update) I can purchase paid apps again. I thought Google decided that ADP1's cannot purchase apps, only free ones.
Am I missing something here?
BTW, I bought Tether Wifi. (AWESOME!)

They don't block paid apps for ADP1, only DRM enabled ones.

Not to burst anyone bubble but isn't tether wifi here on the forums for free????

Internet tethering?

Is there an easy way to tether my N1?, Needing internet access on train journeys when i get my new laptop and seeing as it was simple on my old iPhone, I just assumed it would be a readily available setting or app on the N1?
- Thanks.

try searching next time
the free version of pdanet is good, wont work with https:// though, you have to buy the paid version for that

I did try searching, what is it you type into the search box that it shows up for you?
Is that an app on the Marketplace or what?

you should be able too simply type in pdanet into the market search and it show up. However, using my ATT 3G Nexus One the app is missing from the market. It was there three days ago when I downloaded it.
I had to do a factory reset and luckily I backed it up to my sdcard.

just checked, pdanet free is on the app market. I'm using tmobile and i was on wifi when I checked though...

Thanks guys, im gonna purchase the full version if i can, 2.41 update has a cool text messaging via pc feature aswell :-D

that's weird. I downloaded it to my att 3G Nexus three days ago but now it doesn't show up in the market. Oh well guess it doesn't matter thanks to my back up.
Thanks for the additional info though. A guy on another forum couldn't find it either on his att 3G until he switched to a Tmobile SIM...then it showed. Weird stuff.

at&t probably blocking it, they have a huge beef with people tethering iirc

that's cool if they are because I'll have more fun tethering if I feel I'm doing something I shouldn't be doing.
Thanks for your reply.

LauncherPro

So, Launcher Pro + has just been released, and he's charging 3 bucks for it.
This is my question, How do I get it onto my rooted Captivate? I know it's only 3 dollars, but I'd rather know how to get it on before I actually buy it. Know what I mean?
It isn't available in the market yet, so we have to send him a paypal directly.

side load it with droid explorer? That guy did a great job with launcher pro.

Quit being cheap and support a developer that worked hard to make a beautiful piece of software.
As you said, it's only 3 dollars.

This is my first android phone. I promise developers will get my money but you have no reason to call anyone cheap. It was a question. If you have a problem with my questions don't read them.
So, what is droid explorer?

oh i didnt see that you wanted to know how to do it illegally. Droid explorer is program that helps sideload apps. Just do a search for captivate and droid explorer or look through our sideloading apps threads.
On the piracy note, its not ok to discuss such things here because not only is it morally incorrect but xda has to own up for the activities of its users.
btw, because the new launcher pro + costs money, i highly recommend getting the launcher pro regular. Launcher pro truly shines in its speed and flexibility not its widgets. You can always dl more widgets for free from the marketplace. Ofc i will buy his launcher pro + when it comes to market just on principle because of the great launcher alternative he has provided free of charge for everyone to use.

No I wans buy it but I don't know how to put non market apps on my phone. It is rooted though. Does that help?

sho does, you should pay for it and then he will provide you with an apk to install it with. Droid explorer can take care of the rest. There are other alternatives as well. You should read the sideloading apps threads here in the captivate forums because there is alot of information you should go over b4 attempting and getting frustrated and giving up. Post for help there if you still dont understand after reading through .

Thanks! And just to clear the air, I do not believe in piracy. Developers work too hard on their products. I've paid for most of my programs with Nokia and Apple, just as I will here. I just didn't know how to do it!
I'll look up droid explorer and read that thread. Thanks for the help

Launcher Pro is a mad awesome app. I would pay 10.00 or more for it. I swear my Captivate is TWICE as fast as The iPhone 4 i just returned to At&t.
The dev states it will be in the App market soon, at least thats how I took it from reading his website.

You are being very mean to the poster. He said he doesn't want to buy it if he doesn't know he can use it. You want him to buy it if he can't use it?

I'm stating that he should buy it. If it doesn't work I can almost guarantee that the developer would give him a refund.
Next time you're at a car dealership, steal a car for me so I can drive it for a week.... I want to make sure it "works" with my style of driving before I purchase it..

Launcher Pro in the market is almost exactly the same as the plus version, but without the custom widgets included. Other than that it's the same. No need to steal.

He didnt say anything about pirating it. He said he wants to buy it but is not sure how to install a non market app. He is just doing a little pre purchase research.
Would you buy a car before or after you learned to drive?

Ugh, you think you can get away from Trolls who can't read, or at least piece together what someone says.
Not once did I say I wanted to pirate software. I said that I don't know how to put a non-market app on a device since AT&T will not allow it. So why would I spend my money on something that I can't put on there?
Do you buy 18 inch tires for your 16 inch rims, just because bridgestone makes a good tire? No. Sheesh, just leave me alone SkYz.

Show me where I said I was going to steal it? Go read my first post and explain to me which part meant I was going to try and pirate software. Once you've decided on which part, read the whole post again and figure it out a second time.

Why would you need to do that? You have "paper work" to back you up. You think Paypal is going to refund you for downloading a program that you should have researched if it was compatible with your phone or not? That is what he is trying to do. Next time just give him his answer.
You could have been like "Yes, I have it installed right now."

Why not just install the free version and see if you like it and if so upgrade to the paid version.
Also under settings - applications - unknown sources is where you can install apps from the market that would usually not install. --- Did ATT cripple that in the Captivate??

I have the free version but not the paid one

yup they did, but there's a way to permanently allow non-market apps via editing the .db file and turning the option on

if the free one works, then so will the paid one.
droid explorer gives you access to side load the app once you have downloaded & copied the .apk file to your sdcard.

sorry for all of the posts lol.. also, ADW Launcher works perfect as well, thats the one that i use & is in the market for free

[Q] Anyone have the new 2.2 media hub apk?

When I first flashed stock 2.2 the media hub was working. I was able to preview movies and rent them via samsung. I flashed cognition and installed the apk from his bloatware pack and no dice. Its back to not working anymore. I assume that media hub version on 2.2 is different than 2.1. Does anyone have the apk for media hub from froyo?

http://www.ponack.net/designgears/removed-apps-froyo/

Videos still won't work on Media Hub on captivate. The Vibrant folks got an OTA update to assist with DRMd content. We need that, methinks.

The HD video content is amazing on the captivate screen. It actually made me want to pay their high prices..... So far, I have to say the content is surprisingly there in volume.

What is different from the Media hub app in Froyo? Or is this the same and people are putting this on Eclair?

You mean, you guys got it to work after downloading a video? It works only for trailers for me.

Have not actually purchased a movie yet. I didnt realize it quit working after that.

edit: had the same problem at first, worked for trailers, downloaded fine, didn't play movie.
then I thought what off this is an attempt by att to sell the data plan? I turned off wifi and on edge it acquired the license. confirmed playing movies
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using Tapatalk

Wonder why it would need to authenticate?......sometimes I hate AT&T.

well the license is definitely a samsung thing and has to do with weather you rent or buy the movie so it can be deactivated after 24 when you rent it. I don't know of a reason to only allow the license over cellular, other than to maybe verify with att that you are using a galaxy s device and haven't ported the apk over to another device. or maybe att gets a piece of the pie, and using there network helps them tally it all up.
also you know how att likes to tell you if you use x feature on a phone you purchase we want to add this to your bill. for instance att has data plans that allow tethering that are very expensive, if don't know if they force these plans on phones that support tethering, as far as I know you can't buy such a phone from att. also if you have a smart phone you cant exclude data from your plan unless you have never bought a smartphone from att and you buy the phone outright and make sure smartphone exclusion is on you're plan. just like the unlimited data plan once you get rid of smartphone exclusion you can't get it back as fast as I know, and the network detects the device you are using.
just there way of saying if you want the service you gotta pay us even if we have nothing to do with the service I are getting. its not right but that's what they can do if you sign a contract.
we won't know if its att specific unless we go over to another forum and see what the epic guy are talking about.

After downloading with wifi on, turn it off to aquire licenseing, then it will play with the wifi off.

Copilot on amazon

What happened to it in the app store? I saw it on there one day with two bad reviews and now it's gone. Do they take reviews seriously or possibly a fix was needed?

Reguardless of what they say, it WILL NOT work on your G-Tab. I'm in the process of working with their customer support over the issue it requires a IMEI number on your tablet (wich the G-tab does not have). Save your money!!!
I've actually tried it on several of the roms here and none of them seem to work with it. I'll update everyone when and IF they get this resolved for me.

I bought the USA only version from the market and it wouldn't download the maps. I emailed support and they sent me a link to the 1.13Gb file. Took 5.5 hours to download. It is working great for me, though. I'm on Vegan 5.1.1. They send the actual key a few days later. That activates it. When you first buy it I think it is only good for 15 days, until activated.

Working great on my gtab. Using the newest version from the market place.

I guess it's a hit or miss. I purchased the US version from the app store and it will not go past the check for an IMEI number. Their customer support has proven useless as they first told me they had escallated my problem to their engineering dept. and now I see they have marked my problem as SOLVED with no communcaiton to me at all.

copilot runs great on my GTab. I started with an older version and upgraded, so maybe thats the difference, but it runs no problems. I know me saying that doesn't help at all, in fact its probably a bit of salt in the wound as it were, but it may help to know it is possible.

Glad it runs for you... actually, you've been a LOT more help than their tech support. They keep saying, uninstall the program, delete the copilot folder on the sdcard and then reinstall. Same results everytime.

I was wondering if you could post your DeviceInfo.xml file from the \copilot\save folder? Their tech support keeps asking me for mine and I've sent it to them twice. I'd like to compare mine to yours to see where they are differnt. Or, if you'd rather not post it, could you look at it and see what it has for the Isphone and IMEI settings (<Isphone> and <IMEI>)? I'd really appreciate it.

Have they not given you a license key? While I bought my CO-Pilot a long time ago, from the website, and not the market, I understood that even market purchases resulted in a license key being e-mailed to you??
Once you have that key, you can use the .504 version.

Here is the discussion I've had with them concerning the product key:
Me:
Here is an update. I was able to get a previous version of the software. It is version 8.2.0.504. It installed fine and got past the IMEI error. Howerver, it is asking for a product number and I cannot find any reference to a product number on my receipt from the app market. Can you tell me where to find this? I'll be happy to use this earlier version if we can make it work.
CS:
Unfortunately, since you were never able to activate the device we never issued you a product key. And I can not give you one cause you purchased it through the Android Marketplace. I am very sorry.
Me:
When can I expect to hear of a solution to fix the copy I did buy then? I really want the software but if you cannot get it to work on my device, what are my options? Is there a way to purchase this outside of the app market so that I can get a working product id code?
CS:
You can purchase the $19.99 Northa America version from our webstore but I would hate for you to buy that and still have the same problems. We will get back to you as soon as we can about this issue. We appreciate your patience.
Little do they know that my patience is wearing thin!!!!

'Wearing' thin... I would have long since been 'worn'
I am guessing from their reply, that the activation process is what generates the key?
Here is an idea. Do you have access to another Android device (phone?) that you can install/activate the app on? If that generates your key, you can then de-activate that device (important step!) and then run .504 on the tablet.
While I did not do this intentionally, that's basically how it worked for me.
I purchased Co-Pilot 8 in late 2009 I think (maybe 2010), from their web-site for Windows Mobile. I later ditched WinMo for the Droid X. I de-activated my WinMoDevice, installed the Co-pilot app on my DX and activated it there.
Later, when I got the Tablet, I de-activated the DX license, and setup on the G-Tab.
Other than the most recent versions giving me IMEI errors, I've not had any trouble installing with my key.

Yes, I guess you have to actually activate the software on your tablet before you get your Product ID. So, I'm in that Catch 22 loop. Unfortunately I don't have an android phone. Windows Phone 7 here. I guess I'll wait to see if they can get me an answer. I'm planning on picking up a Transformer as soon as they come back in stock so maybe it will work on it.
