[Q] Banking apps not working - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I am so disappointed that none of the banking apps are working on the One. I am trying to use HSBC & Barclays none are working. I don't have this issue on Nexus 4.
Did you guys come across this? Any solutions?
Thanks

Barclays works on mine, havent tried any others.

Thanks, I will reinstall and try again.

The natwest app works but the Santander UK app doesnt work yet

HSBC doesn't work. First Direct works great. Don't know about others.

I've only tried the HSBC one and, as others have said, it doesn't seem to work properly which is disappointing.

The Nationwide (banking) app doesn't work.
The Capital One (credit card) app works but won't show all data.
The Halifax (banking) app does work - but it's a hybrid (web) app as opposed to a native app.
I'm pretty sure that some finance apps are accessing the IP stack without using the standard Android settings as they won't work when you setup a proxy (Nationwide app included) - which may explain why there are issues.

Thanks guys for the feedback, I hope there will be a fix soon as these are very important.
As I said most annoying is that these work on other devices so it must be something to do with HTC.

[Q] How does one set local country in any ROM?

Hi there.
Question: Custom ROMs not from Canada do not show Canadian only apps such as TD Mobile app (bank app). How does one set the local country so that the Market can detect the proper country?
I recently downloaded Rodrigaz MIUI ROM, and it's really great, except now I can't find my TD Mobile app. I called the bank and said that my phone or phone software is has to be set for Canada. Somehow if I flash my stock ROM it will show Canadian only apps, but some of these ROMs don't.
You're help is appreciated.

I have no problem finding the app using Cyanogen. The Market finds the app based on the fact that I use a Canadian Sim. However the TD app is also protected, which means you won't find it if the fingerprint in your build.prop isn't on Google's white list.
That being said, while you're figuring this out, you can access TD's mobile banking at this URL:
tinyurl.com/tdtouch

Use Market Access.
Well if I use Cyanogen or the Desire HD port, it not only shows the canadian TD app but also shows the prices in canadian funds with a CA symbol. But any MIUI roms don't. I figured it might be a setting in the build.prop that I could change, but I lack the knowledge of locating such property.

Market Access won't let you see protected apps. TD is a protected app.

Try searching for some of the following protected apps:
Fruit Ninja
A Online Radio
Paperdroid Pro
(not sure if they are still protected but they were the last time I checked)
Do you see any of them? If not, your problem is with protected apps, not with location.
In any case, one simple solution to test: Next time you're trying out Cyanogen, make a backup of the build.prop. Rename your MIUI build.prop to build.bak and paste in the one from CM6. Fix the permissions to what they were before. Then reboot and see what you get in the Market.
Thanks for the reply, I searched for these apps and they're there. About the build.prop, wouldn't mixing from another rom have compatibility issues?

It could be a problem, don't know. There's only one way to find out... I say take a nandroid backup of your status quo before making the changes. If it fails to boot you can do a nandroid restore.
Strange that you see protected apps but not TD. The standard method of identifying your country for the Market is usually based on the SIM. Maybe MIUI overrides this.
I tried using Cyanogen's build.prop file today and it still doesn't show the TD mobile app
I'm at a loss.
Okay well at least there's a workaround: install it from Cyanogen, Titanium Backup, and restore that app to MIUI

Oh, you mean adb pull it from there? I can try that.
I thought I'd mention that a lot of Google search results seem to point to a "fingerprint" or "footprint" feature of the software to indicate what region/country, which is what them protected apps seem to look for. Does this sound familiar to anyone?
You may not be able to adb pull the TD app from your CM6 or stock installation as it's a protected app. But when you back up a protected app with Titanium, it transforms it into an unprotected .apk file... if you reinstall it using Titanium from MIUI it will go back into protected space; or you can browse to the folder and manually install the apk, which will install it as an unprotected app.

Missing applications from my apps in market

I own a nexus one, and after upgrading to gingerbread, some applications which are installed such as dolphin browser and soundhound are installed but are not listed as installed on the market and thus I don't get update notifications for them.
I tried to clear data on the market app to re sync the installed apps but it had been disabled on gingerbread
Can anyone shed some light please?
Thanks in advance,

Do they at least appear on the market?
Yes, I even re-installed the apps, still not showing in my apps though.

You might be able to use Titanium Backup's "Market Doctor" function to re-establish the application links to the Market, though I believe that requires root.
Give it some times, they'll probably come back on it's own.
If not use Market Doctor like suggested, that might or might not solve it.
It has happened to me here and there and usually fix itself.
Another thing you can try is download an app, any app (something free that can be delete afterward) and see if that bring the missing apps back.

[Q] Nook Color can't run certain apps that shouldn't require cell network, but do?

I don't know if this is a problem related to the recent patch for ROM Manager, but I upgraded that app and it didn't fix it, so...
Anyway, I have two apps giving me fits right now:
Amazon's new MP3 Cloud player for Android, and "Good (for Enterprise)", which is a corporate email reader.
Both apps complain that my cell network isn't enabled. Both apps should work find over WiFi, and they are communicating with their servers in some capacity, because they are able to tell the difference between a valid login and an invalid one. But once I enter a valid login, they both complain that I need to enable my cell network.
Any suggestions?

I'm not sure what you mean. I'm on WiFi, and I can connect to Amazon's web page fine. But when I login to the app using my amazon account, it complains about not being connected to a cell network. Why would it care if I'm on wifi?
Do you have the phone.apk telephony.apk and mms.apk renamed or removed by chance? The app could just be looking for those.
Ahhhhh, I see...
You mean like this thread?

I haven't done anything like this on purpose. I'm running the stock ROM with eclair and rooted via autonooter. Can I check for them using a file manager or ADB?
Ran into the same problem when I tried running the Yelp app on my Nook Color. Kept crashing on the install. After passing emails and logs back and forth with Yelp it turns out it crashing when it's looking for a phone, even though I'm on wifi.
He said they'd fix it in the next major release.

[Q] Google Plus Widget crashes

I installed the Google Plus app from the market. When I hit the share field it crashes.
Any suggestions?
CM7 RC1 + OC mod
Get My Fake Location from the market. The app is looking for a GPS location and will crash without one.
Sent from my NookColor using XDA Premium App
I do get some real location services from WiFi (e.g. Google Maps). Will My Fake Location interfere with that?
Don't know. I just turn it on when I want to post something with G+.

Thanks for the tip, it worked fine after installing the app. I hope Google will fix this so that G+ works the way Maps works on our gps-less devices.

Camera works as well as video but crashes when I try use pano or photos here. The gallery app same. Crashes on start. Please help if u can. Thanks

What ROM/Kernel are you using? Are you rooted? That sounds like the kinda errors I get when I flash a new base without wiping.
I'm rooted but not on a custom ROM. And I didn't flash anything just installed the apk files. It works perfect on my galaxy S2 although the OK Google voice search only worked for a day. But won't work on my one. ?? I really want it on my one though
