i'm not sure but i think it's ok ) the same thing was with Android Market
i dont think google will change algorithm of downloading bcoz of changing the name
This is not problem....this method was implemented by google in android market v3.x

Its a default feature of play store
Kinda sucks dat it doesn't support parallel downloads

Uhm, what difference does it make? If you max out your bandwidth then the total time will still be the same, the only difference will be that the first apps to get downloaded will be available earlier than if all DLed simultaneously.
I do not think that's a problem.

I agree,
But i am curious as to what you believe would be the benefit from parallel downloading?
if you are downloading in parallel it would just slow down the all of your downloads, this way all of your speed is given to one at a time. I am not sure how it would affect Google's servers, but i would assume if everyone was downloading multiple apps at the same time it might lag up there infrastructure.

I'm unearthing an old thread and beating a dead horse, but as I just uninstalled play updates from and old galaxy tab and was greeted with the old market that just installed two dozen apps faster than my 3 years younger fancy double core supposed-to-be-fast-yet-sluggish-gunk, I'm compelled to give this issue a little nudge again.
Old Markets in did download in parallel. What's the benefit you ask, well, it was able download others while it was installing those that were completed. The current version doesn't donwload squat while it's installing and I find that pathetic given today's hardware.
It's generally not that beneficial to download several simultaneously, but the current implementation is even worse. Two in parallel or start the next when the current finishes, that'd be something.

I don't see the issue. It's always been like that since Google launched v4 for play store.
In my opinion it would be better if it install the first app and download the second one at the same time

I am sure many of you guys are ticked off with a useless T-Mobile tab in the Market. Would this be a hard fix to change it back to a download tab?

When your in android market, hit the menu button and choose downloads. Its there but now it's hidden. No prob though getting to it.
You could try deleting market from phone and installing the one from cyanogen's gapps pack for eclair.

I don't know, I feel there's a huge problem with carriers and manufacturers customizing android. Its not 1.X anymore, heck, its not even just 2.0 anymore, the interface, usability, etc. are all pretty amazing, totally untouched.
More manufacturers and carriers could get more phones to market, at lower cost, and higher profit margin, if they just used default android. Plus, there wouldn't be so much fragmentation with android on the whole anymore either, and consumers would win big with a better selection of phones, that all work the same, with zero learning curve for some manufacturer/carrier customization.
OK, rant over, onto my real post.
I've tried copying over the market from a stock international i9000, and no luck, t-mobile tab is still there, so it might be buried in an xml file somewhere else. Will try CM 5.0.8 market when I have time next.
cheers =)

No problem, I haven't done it but I thought about it. I haven't looked through the system folder yet. Let me know if it works. Make sure to do a backup!
copying over the CM 5.0.8 didn't do it for me, that was one of the first things I tried when I rooted. It's probably something in the framework.
here do this download the app ive attached go to settings in market enabler select fake [de] simyo (eplus) and then go to your market and theres your download tab no more tmobile . since pushing menu and downloads is just to hard
works! thanks.
Does anybody know if I can download gameloft games that I bought as much time as I want? For example, if I change rom, can i download it again?
If you got them from the market, yes you can. When you sign back in after the flash. The apps you have purchased will show under "my apps " and you just re download them

Hmm, you get a download link in the mail from gameloft (or in the sms)
So there shouldnt be any problem with that.
Anyway just tried to download avatar again I purchased earlier. And worked.
Rom shouldnt have to do anything with the game. (as I bought it on Froyo and now I have GB)
dont understand this though
Gameloft's policy is that if you buy a game, you can re-download it on the same device with the same phone number within the 90 days of your purchase. To re-download your game, go to http://gameloft.com on your mobile and click on the 'My Downloads' link at the bottom of the page. You will see the list of all the games you purchased so far that you can re-download. If you purchased your game on our website on your pc using your credit card, enter the 'My Account' section at the top of this page and re-download your game(s) after signing in.

Well make a nandroid with the game on it. (Tit backup too) . Go new rom. try to download. If it wont work restore with tit backup. If that wont work. you still have the old nandroid.
Anyway ask them if you arent sure
PS: Just for a game not to update ? Doesnt make sense for me
Just go to their website and use their online tool for re downloading games. If that don't list your game then email them and they will send you a link via sms.
I have done this a couple of times now.

Seriously write them? I downloaded it after 4/5 months.
Also once on the phone you know you can back it up right? You can restore it from there tit backup. Just try? Nandroid for good measure.
I think they honor any purchase up to 3 years or something. After I put on gingerbread JVK, I asked them for a fresh link to download NOVA which I had purchased last august.
Though NOVA still doesn't work, they did give me another game for free.
Very good service

You guys seen their new website? Much, much better! I actually like how it looks now. Check it out.
For those who don't know, not that there's many who don't, it's a site where you can get ringtones/wallpapers/etc. for your phone 100% free, no catch, no bs.
www.zedge.com
Can you tell me what is the point of visiting their website? If I want to download a wallpaper or ringtone, I'll just use their app, why care about what their website looks like?
Because there might be people that rather have a bookmarked site over an app
What do you mean? I still don't see the point of bookmarking or visiting their site.

is easier if you install their App from Market
then you can pick sounds / wallpapers directly from it, and sets it into the system settings
Yeah for sure the app is a really handy one. Use it all the time when i get bored, and there are no new roms to try out.

Completely agree, thanks for the post. I would much rather use my laptop to find what I want to download before I spend 2 hours searching the mobile app for it. Not all of us have blazing fast 4g!
I had a look at their website, you guys are right. It is much easier to browse through the website, however one thing I find strange, how come on their website they don't separate ringtone from notification sound?

Exactly! In the time it takes to view 1 page of wallpapers on the app you can view 4 on the website.

I'd imagine because on most phones it doesnt matter. I remember back when I had my Moto E816 I could only use certain file types for a ringtone/notification/alarm/etc., now you can use pretty much whatever you want.

They should add a remote install feature to the website, obviously requiring you to have the Zedge app installed on your phone. That would make it really worthwhile using the site over the app.
I do agree that the site is better for browsing, but the app sets things for you. We want the best of both worlds.

You mean something like the Market where you pick something you want to d/l and instead of downloading on your pc it automatically d/l's to your phone? That would be sweet!

Hopefully this is fixed with the new 2.7 update of the app.
Thanks for many kind words regarding the webpage! We are however not finished with the revamp
Hey guys!
On my google play page for my app there aren't any apps shown below (similar apps / user also downloaded). I'm worried that my app also won't show on other app pages and searching my app will be a problem..
Strange, I can't see any, too. But you published it today, right? I'd suggest to wait 2 or 3 days and if there weren't any apps shown below then, I'd contact the Google Play team.
However, if I search for "Pyramid Mover", your app is the first one in the list.

I know this thread is a little old but I'm here for the same reason... first time app publisher and not only does my listing not show any similar apps, the only way to find my app at all is by the exact name. The latter is hard to understand as my description is long and repeats the keywords quite a few times. There are not that many apps which fall under that keyword when I search.
So... how long before you typically start showing up in search results and as per this orginal post, how long does it typically take to also get similar apps listed? I'm guessing those two are linked in some way.
Thanks!

What is your app name and niche? Will this be available in IOS, aside from Android?
The one who started this thread, have you figured out how to make your app appear on other mobile OS, aside from Android?

I made some minor changes to my store listing which has resulted in app showing in some searches that I wanted to be in but not all. Its quite frustrating. Still no "similar apps" shown after 1 week but perhaps that is a function of listing being changed, IDK.

Hello,
In my case, the similar apps appeared in 1 week.

Might sound silly but one of my favorite Android games (Jet Set Radio) was never updated to run on lollipop. Sega has instead just pulled the app from the market. The game starts to load but soon crashes. Without knowing anything about development i have a feeling the problem is probably not a serious one and a talented developer maybe able to get the .apk working again

That. ^^^
Also, just don't. Don't start bounties, don't create pressure on a developer to do anything. If you want to see what is what, send them an email offering to pay them directly.
Also, if the program/game was popular and they pulled it, then it was probably more than trivial changes needed to make it work again.

Sega is just a terrible Mobile company. They recently pulled many titles some of which still work even without updates on lolipop.
I heard the Company as a whole is focusing more on mobile but with moves like this how? Unless they will rely on the strength of a few key titles (like SonicRush) and say screw the rest

End of life? Some games they pulled were only released for mobile in the last 12-18 months. Unless this was a quick cash in deal on a few high profile games. Make a quick buck and than abandon the title when it comes time to needing an update
