So they just released the iplayer app on the android market on thursday but only for uk residents. Now if I'm not mistaken, I can use bbc.co.uk/iplayer for the radio even tho I'm in the usa on my desktop (not sure about tv), is there a way we can develop a similar app for us residents based on the new iplayet uk app? what you guys think?

it would be sweet if we could get it here in Canada aswell. I find it really stupid that i can listen to bbc on my desktop but not on my phone. Even when i go through the browser it doesn't work.
I managed to snag it, but the shows won't play.

Is there anyway to take an app(Footprints) from a droid incredible or dinc 2 and run them on a Droid Bionic? I have played with rooting and ROMS, but with school and everything else going on, I just haven't had time to research it. If not, can anyone suggest a similar app for the Bionic. Thanks in advance.

don't think that is possible the htc apps are made to run only on htc phones like footprints and teeter i am sure it could be tampered with to work but i am sure it is a lot more work than it is is work and i am not sure about related apps to that google it?? there for a reason
I just did a google search for footprints.apk and found a site where you may be able to download it.
Just remeber that you do this at your own risk. I also don't condone piracy so make sure this isn't a paid app.
I had found the apk download, but was nervous about issues caused by it being an HTC app. Thanks for the advice. Was hoping someone else may have already done this. Guess I'll break down and do the research. Thanks again

Ok so i got this droid bionic, flashed 6.7.246..verizon.en.us which is apparently ics because only motofail for ics would work...anyway im using net10 and did the radionv edit, got voice and 3g but cant text. Also note that under info it doesnt know my number and the imei doesnt match my sim...if someone could please make sms to work that would be awesome.

Still looking for help on this

As a fellow junior member, there will most likely be no help until you learn how to ask for help.
I'm not trying to be rude. I'm trying to be helpful.
READ,READ,READ
Um ok, but that doesnt help. Not trying to be rude but you could have at least pointed me in the right direction to learn "how to ask". As for those who ran across this with the same issue while i still havnt found a fix there is an app called pinger unfortunately you have to use a separate number but it does allow you to text normally so long as you have internet via phone network or wifi

On a side note if this forum is going to act like an apple forum where its exclusive and you cant get help unless you do things just right its going to turn a lot of people away. There's a reason we all chose android, because we didn't want to be part of a community that thinks its better just because it doed things a certain way. We like the freedom of being unique not part of the iclone group. I asked for help in the best way i knew how even waiting every 24 hours to post again even though the wait was killing me. Then the response i received rang in deafening tones just how "cool" you have to be to receive any help. You know "not trying to be rude"

You know what I found funny? They were supposed to support the EVO 4G LTE at some point, and never did. I could never get it to show up in a search from the Market. But now, I searched for it with the HTC One, and there it is. And I can download it, but can't use it. It says it's unsupported. I really wish I could have this back.
I'd like to play with this, but I'll probably never actually use it. I don't know other Sprint users with or who would have direct connect. It's unfortunate Sprint has made this feature so exclusive that it's basically killed the feature.
It's made it exclusive to the **** phones they sell. Should be available for the high-end phones as well.
Is there a way to unlock my cappy that isn't going to cost me? I don't have a computer and I tried vibrant unlock and it didn't work. I dropped my note 2 and the screen is FUBAR. So I was going to use my cappy until I get the 175 together to submit a claim on the phone insurance with T-Mobile. I have a good sim to use just can't find my unlock code.

You still have to pay for the unlock code. I cannot afford it as of now with having to save to pay for a new note 2. Also not available from the play store in my country so it says.

The op States that it charges what he thinks is a fair price. When I run the app it says unable to read nv data.

If you read the "download" section in the linked OP again it might clear it up for you.......The nv data thing is normal. Just do what it says.....backup efs (then it can read nv) then unlock twice. Once for partial unlock twice to fully unlock.
Once it is unlocked and your thinking, wow this was actually really easy, consider a donation to the author for making it so.....even if it isn't until after that note2 is paid for

If you cannot access it from the Play Store would you like me to upload the apk for you to just download and install that way? You shouldn't have to pay to unlock your device, at least with all the options on the captivate. Another user requested the same check his thread in the General section, m1batt1 also posted another, longer but still effective, way to unlock if the app doesn't work.

So it worked. I am now using my cappy in T-Mobile. Thanks for that. My note 2 uses a micro sim and the cappy takes a regular sim. I used my old straight talk that's no good anymore because I ported my number for it over to T-Mobile and cut out a guide for the micro sim. Is there a better way or is that about it?

Glad to hear it worked for you
If the sim is working I'd say your all set....You can purchase an adapter I believe but I think your mod will be fine.
I just read sim unlocking is illegal since January 23rd? Can they tell when it was done?

Nope, this is a common misconception, and one the mobile phone companies (unsurprisingly) aren't keen to dispel. The confusion arises because unlocking and unblocking are often mixed up, yet mean different things.
Unlocking is totally legal. It just means making the phone work with any Sim card.
Unblocking is illegal. This is the practice of making a phone work again after it's been blocked by the networks, usually as a result of its being reported lost or stolen. Unsurprisingly, It is thoroughly illegal and should not be attempted.
If you are in a contract and got the phone from them at a discount with it then maybe....But then why would you be unlocking it.

hmm people still sell these "illegal"? codes, and what if you bought your phone used off ebay for example. There goes any resale value and in turn less interest in a contract phone.
If your concerned about it, you should lock your phone, what else can I say.:good:
Unnecessary. I also found out that there are at least 3 bills in congress to address that specifically. They also cannot tell when it was done. Nor do they much care.
