I read on the amazon website that Amazon App Store is compatible with Captivates running 2.2 or greater. I am running 2.2 yet when i try to install the app the phones tells me that "it has been set to block non-android market apps."
I do not have the option to "allow non-market apps" under the Application tab under settings.
What must I do to install the app?
Superoneclick, search for it.

Have you checked for software updates from att? They supposedly released an ota that enabled 3rd party apps.
Your on stock froyo from the sound of it, you can use the sideload wonder machine. just look it up
Att should be pushing an update that allows you to install non market apps
Amazon will not install...

Same thing happened to me...missed the OTA update from AT&T. Sent them a nicely worded email explaining the issue from the Support section on the AT&T website. Got a response in less than 24 hours informing me that they had pushed the update to my phone. I powered down/up & am now sideloading not only from Amazon but from anywhere else I want. Give it a shot...
PS: If you're not the adventurous type & don't want to flash ROMs, etc. AT&T just announced (& I believe them this time!) Gingerbread will be available for U.S. Captivate users by the end of the summer.

I just used SuperOneClick v1.5.1 to root my HTC Hero CDMA, which rooted the device fine.
Now, I'm trying to install ROM Manager from the Market, but it hangs on "Downloading" and then it goes to "Download paused".
I can't update any other apps either.
I cleared my Market cache, uninstalled the Market update, and signed out and back into Google Talk, but no luck...still can't download/update apps.
Anybody have some ideas? Or is the Market just paralyzed tonight?
You probably have already come across this but the market is experiencing an outage.
Even though the markets out I've been experiencing this since I rooted last week!

I was having this issue as well. I Read another post that said Google Talk was linked to the Market. Several could not download from the Market unless they were logged into GTalk. I had downloaded Titanium Pro and had frozen a number of apps, GTalk being one of them. I activated (thawed) the app and now I am able to download once again. Maybe this will help.
I installed honeycomb last night but its quite empty, no apps? I installed it mainly for the "Books" app that I saw on Xoom hands-on videos. Where do I get it from?
Many thanks

I don't know that the Books app is publicly available yet. You can however install market and get plenty of apps (although some may not work on HC yet).
Just got my Nook Honeycomb'd w/ v3.0. This is going to be very fun!! ADB'ing my way to the Market now.
I believe you will want to install v3 of bluedeeper's honeycomb image or you will be missing a ton of apps from the marketplace. Not sure if this was fixed with v2 or not. I guess it recognizes the nook as a Nexus device or something and allows you to download more apps.
hey all, i have another question about apps in honeycomb. I am using the 2GB honeybunches version that comes with market preinstalled. All the apps seem to be there as far as i can tell. but whenever i go to download an app it starts downloading and then quits without downloading the app. i keep pressing yes to install but it keeps doing the same thing. Any thoughts?

Try opening market from the market widget and if that doesn't work, clear cache and data and force close the Google services framework and the market. Also a couple of revolts and retries got it working for me.
Also, make sure you are using v2.

Did a reboot and apps are now downloading and installing from market! Thanks for the help!
I'm not talking about the market, but rather this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGP3KKbDOKc "Books" app.
The HC on the NC right now is a "SDK Preview". It doesn't contain any of the apps that you might have seen Google demonstrate on devices like the G-Slate / XOOM Tablet. For now, you'll just have to wait until the XOOM is released, a system dump is performed and the APKs are liberated / ported from that dump. The only way it might happen any faster is a pre-release ROM leak. Even then, the release HC AOSP might be needed for one reason or another before they'll install or fully function. Renderscript for example (the new HC feature required for much what you've seen in the videos) probably won't work right away.
My Cappy is rooted running Cognitive 4.1. I applied the SGS tool fix to Market and I have app that I outside the market (sideloaded, applanet, browser, etc. etc).
1) Market may update the app if they see it. What if they not? Read elsewhere that there is an app for that, but don't want to add another up to keep market working
2) Market will not update keys of sideloaded apps, is there a remedy for that?
3) I applied sgs fix to the market, how I know that I am seeing all the market now?
Thanks
use the program "MCleaner" from the market. it works for FREE apps only, there is NO WAY to add PAID apps to the market list if you sideloaded them.

And for good reason. I.e. pirating.

Hello.
I live in a "sanctioned" Country: Cuba
Meaning that I don't have access to the market, The app just closes itself after a few seconds trying to connect. I gess you know the huge problem this is, would you imagine yourself without access to the market???. Every website I go gives me a barcode linking to the market or says "Just go to the market and ..." and then I just have to smile.
I can get to the market using the browser but the service ask me to log in one time with the app and buy/download at least one app.
This is what I've done to try to workaround the issue.
Setup Proxy: Market App doesn't work with proxy. I think only the browser does.
Installed Market Access apk and/or Market Enabler apk. Any of these are suppose to emulate a different carrier so the market "thinks" I'm in another country. It doesn't work.
Setup VPN. This should hide my IP. VPN connects OK. I get different IP which i Can tell just by opening ipchicken.com. So digitally speaking I'm in california but MARKET is a no go.
Updated vending.apk with the app from a friend's phone and still the same.
Any Ideas?
I had given up a couple of months ago and I was getting everything from mediafire, megaupload etc. But since I joined xda-devs I'm eager to update and test new ROMs and ROM manager is not able to download Clokworkmode Recovery. This is annoying. I know I have some other ways to flash ROMs but I still want to get to the market anyway.
Samsung i897 Captivate Stock 2.1.1 Unlocked and Rooted.
Thanks.
Try installing and using this http://db.tt/ypqbCr8U to spoof the market.

That's what I get for reading/posting at 4:30 in the morning. :/
My best guess would be that american buisnesses are filtering all things cuban. ISPs and wireless providers included. Tough luck bro. get rid of the Castros.apk that should resolve most of your device issues.
You don't need Rom manager to get CWM, not for the captivate. You can drop in any rooted kernal and most of them have CWM available to them.
I would recommend starting here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1300843
PLEASE NOTE - that if you want to update to Gingerbread 2.3 you need the newest bootloaders!
So today the Android Market stop showing the My Apps page for me. Just a grey screen. I have tried everything short of wiping the device. Any ideas?

So I finally tried wiping the device twice and the My Apps page will show until the latest version of Market automatically installs and then grey screen again...
i have the same issue. D2G
Which ROM do you have?

btw, why doesn't our market have "update all" like on HTC phones?
Same annoying bug. Tried EVERYTHING (including a wipe, clearing market data, force stopping, uninstalling updates, clear data on google framework. Sent a support ticket in to google, no news yet... Looks like it isn't authenticating me.

are you running stock ROM?

Mine does if I have more than one update - as the market always has had since Froyo. (Unless one of the updates has changed permissions - those you must approve one by one.)
Stock rom, still nothing from google. Seems like the server flakes out when trying to verify my device. No fancy hacks really. Wish I knew why. Tried everything I can think of so far. Even did a wipe and no go. Irritating to say the least.

Same boat here. Stock rooted, all bloat installed. Only mods are the atrix camera and modified local hosts file. I even reverted the local hosts file but got nowhere. The only other market I have is amazon and it does not matter if it is installed or not. It also does not matter which version of the market I have installed.

Just noticed the same problem here
I tried installing the camera app from the leaked version but it didn't go through, so when I renamed the original stock camera app back I noticed it stopped working.
Currently I have the my apps screen spinning.
I've got an XT860.
Same problem here
Same problem here. Stock, rooted. My Apps has had a blank screen for days. Cleared Market data and cache. No help.
I don't know who to even contact for support. Any thoughts?
Have any of you tried this:
settings->applications->manage applications
Find "Market" and tap it
If there is one, tap the button at the top "Uninstall updates"
Does that fix this problem?

Safebloat the culprit??
Same issue here! Just started today, the same day i installed safebloat!
Are any of you guys running safebloat? Did this bug appear right after switching from the bootstrap to the safebloat?
Not running safebloat. Currently nothing frozen or removed.

I found that if you take out your SD and clean market/storage service fixes. Bad news is when you put back SD, it breaks again.
I just checked mine, all's good. There's got to be a common factor here... just needs to be found
Just a thought.
Make sure everything in your google account page is set to sync.
Settings->accounts-> you gmail account.
Try the online market. Sign in and see if your apps show up there. If it does, would say it something on phone, if not something with the account.
Hope it helps
