Got my HD7 yesterday morning and was really happy with it, even more so when I found out that the HTC Hub contained links to apps which retained some of the functionality I was used to on my HD2 such as Flashlight and a phone enhance functionality app which enabled the ringtone to get quieter when it detected it was picked up etc.
But upon trying to start these apps I was directed to the MarketPlace which attempted to download them, except it kept coming up with this error: "Can't play or download. There's a problem with the licence"
After re-attempting several times I found that around 1pm yesterday the apps disappeared altogether and that the HTC Apps section on the Marketplace is now completely empty.
Is anyone else getting this problem?
didnt have those options on my hd7, im guessing its not a problem but more of a mistake htc put links there. i would say its just a waiting game, i know from my desire that i have got too that it takes awhile for the apps to appear and some of them are definitely worth it
They were gone when I looked. Hopefully they'll be back!
remove first
I had this too after it tried to upgrade them, just go to the programs list press and hold on each of them to get the pop up menu to uninstall. Then go back to marketplace and install again.
Yeah, I noticed that this morning they have re-appeared (yay!!).
Only problem I'm having with the HTC apps now is just with the one I really wanted - the 'Attentive Phone' app which brings back some the HTC Senseness that you didn't see from my old HD2 (such as quiet ring at pick up, louder in the pocket and automatic loudspeaker when phone is screenside down on the table).
It downloads. It installs. But try to run it? Nah. You select the program the screen goes black, thinks for a second, and chucks you straight back into the programs list. Dammit.
I sent an email to HTC yesterday about their app trouble but have yet to receive a reply. I just hope that they know that this particular app still doesn't work. Although it is nice to have Flashlight and the other fancy ones back and up and running!
Attentive Phone installs and runs ok for me; and the features work as advertised.
However the flashlight app can't install, and the "love" app (god knows what this is) won't run after it has been installed.
There's also the Lists app (for groceries, todo lists etc), and Notes is there too. I find the Microsoft Shopping List app is better though.
I've got all to install and only the flashlight app doesn't run. I'll try uninstalling and re-installing.
Update: uninstalling worked fine but on attempting to re-download I got an error '8000ffff'. I discovered by accident that if you press and hold the app in the 'downloads' screen, it gives you the options: 'retry' or 'delete'. Retry worked and the download and install completed correctly. Unfortunately the flashlight app still doesn't work tho!
First of all to fix error 8000ffff in windows phone you have to go to “Start”
Now in order to open the app list just swipe your screen from left to right.
Now this list gives you the entry of valid apps as well as those apps which are downloaded automatically due to error 8000FFFF.
Slide to any of the invalid app and press and hold it in order to get the option and press “uninstall”.
Similarly you have to uninstall all the invalid apps that are downloaded automatically due to the error 8000FFFF.
You’ve successfully completed the task to fix error 8000ffff in windows phone
i have a problem with ma window phone when im trying detting up my window live id accounts..its need an activation code to finish setup plz can i obtain an activation code fot htc hd7t9292
I've been using DROIDs since DROID 1, then X, and now Bionic.
I have the issue on my Bionic: I'll get a notification that an App has an update. When I select the app from my notification pane, it opens Android Market and takes me to the My Apps view. However, no apps display as needing updates. (Yes, I'm sure it's a notification to update an app and not the notification that an app has been updated (auto updates)).
I can go through all my downloaded apps and none of them show as "updateable." Sometimes it displays, that there are more than one (like 3) apps that have an update, but again, when I go to My Apps, I can't find any app that has an update - there is no update button only Open and Uninstall.
Has anyone else seen or heard of this issue?
Have you changed the LCD density at all? That gives me various problems. I always have to grab an older version of the market place to update.

I know what you're talking about. I've found when that happens, it's usually tied to a system app or a preinstalled app, such as Gmail, YouTube, or Zumocast.
Annoying.

I concur, I had the issue as well and updating the pre-installed crapware seemed to remedy the issue.
This has been happening to me as well, and it's not always system apps. Yesterday I had the notification in the morning, with no app showing up to be updated. However, I checked the market later last night, and Swiftkey X was showing up. (I had read that Swiftkey had an update earlier in the day, as I recalled when I saw that.)
It could be that the apps are sending notifications before they hit the market, or it could be that the market app has issues. I think it's the latter. I generally used to check the market for updates when I plug in the phone when going to bed at night, and I may start doing that again.
I hate the new market - since the last few updates (when it got its current new look, with books and movies) the market has been pretty crappy.
Same thing here. I get the notification, but there are no apps showing as having update available. If I go through the apps one by one I can usually find some with updates. I also have apps mysteriously disappear from time to time. I went to open Gentle Alarm last night and it wasnt there anymore, I re-downloaded it and it installed and all my settings were still there. Strange.
For some reason, it keeps changing from your default account to a secondary account. I have two Google accounts on my phone; one for personal and one for work. If you go into Market and then hit menu, accounts-you will notice it changed your default account. I haven't figured out why it does this-my OG never did.
Could it, in part, be due to applications that were set to auto-update?

This happened to me this morning, but changing the account showed me the applications that needed updating. If anyone knows why the account changes, I'd like to know!
[Q] Random "Free Music" app appeared on my touchpad in place of Google Play Store
My Touchpad was charging today and I just went to check on it. I unlocked the device and sitting right where the Google Play Store app shortcut used to be on my homescreen was an app called "Free Music" and it had the old itunes icon. I accidentally clicked on it as I was trying to long press it and remove it from my homescreen. It launched the Google play store as if the real app shortcut was there. After I removed it from my homescreen I checked the app drawer and did not see the app.
I am running CM 9 Alpha 2. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there malware on my TP, or a Virus? Any help is appreciated. Thanks
Me too
I havent checked my touchpad with CM9A2, but my Acer Iconia with CM9-ported had this appear too.
I did not have this 3/8 afternoon, and had my tablet off yesterday night 3/8, and turned it on today 3/9, and it appeared shortly after.
Very strange and suspicious to have an itunes logo-ed shortcut "self-install"
Hope some more people can shed some insight into this.
Are we android user's getting hacked/compromised? (beyond what Google is already sucking off our tablets)
Whew
Okay, at least someone else had this happen. Now we just need to figure out what it is. Did you notice anything else funky? I couldn't find anything else that was weird, however I noticed this weird chinese app all the way in the bottom of my "All" apps list and I have since disabled it out of caution. Let me know if you have this app.
Did you just remove the app from the homescreen or open it also like I did? I really can't think of any app I installed that could have done this except one. This "watch TV" app, that I also uninstalled since just in case. I hope someone can explain this to us.
I just removed it from the homescreen (luckily did not click it to open by accident)
I dont have any Chinese/Foreign language apps on my All Apps.
I also dont have that "Watch TV" app.

I got a response from the Iconia forum, and I found my Pin to Pintrest App that allowed push installs. Do you have the same app?
Interesting
I don't have that app, but it could have been a different app that had the same type of air install thing. I uninstalled a bunch of apps that I didn't use that much, one of them might have had this feature enabled. Ill download that detector and see if any app on my tablet has that.
Thanks
Hello, I have this strange problem that just appeared a few weeks ago. I can't see any pictures in 2 apps that I use frequently - eBay and Mobile.de. In eBay for example when I search for something I do see its image but when I click on it - no pictures at all. Although it shows me that there are let's say 4 or 5 pictures and I can scroll through them but they won't load.
Mobile.de is not showing any pictures at all no matter what I do. Strange is that the problem appeared on both of them at the same time. I believe it has something to do with my phone as I have no issues opening those 2 apps on my tablet and they work fine. Another thing that I see is with one specific web site - tomshardware.com. For some reason it loads in Chrome in some compatibility mode - text and links only. No background and no pictures. Other sites are loading ok.
What's my setup and what I've tried so far:
Xperia V, root stock 4.3 (9.2.A.2.5). Removed the mentioned apps (and Chrome as well), restarted the phone, cleared the cache partition and installed the apps again. I have an AdFree app so I also uninstalled it. Nothing changed. Spoke with Mobile.de's support - they said that's a known issue and they're working on a fix. However as I mentioned, I've opened the app on another 4.3 Android. I do get some errors when looking at the logs but can't understand them. So if you can advise on an app that can collect the logs, I'll do that and share them.
Thanks in advance.
I have the same problem on my Samsung Galaxy Note 3. Did you find a solution?
Yes, turned out that it was the AdFree app. It's an app that blocks ads. Uninstalling it won't bring back the original hosts file, so you have two options - the app itself gives you the option to restore the original hosts file. Or you can open the file with a text editor on the phone and delete i.ebayimg.com (I believe that was the one, I don't have it anymore so can't confirm it ) Now both ebay and mobile.de load pictures.
Haha, just found this old answer to my question. It was same for me

Hello all, over the last 2-3 days when installing apps with known widgets they aren't showing up so you can select and add. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app and nothing. If I restart the device then the widget will show up to add. Another odd thing is when the app is uninstalled the widget is showing up to add. The app is uninstalled and this is happening. I try to add the widget to see what it does and it creates the little Android. If you long press to add the widget to the home screen it gives a meassgae that reads "Create Widget and Allow Access? After you create widget, Google app can access all data it disolays. Always allow Google Apps to create widgets and access their data with a check box. There are also cancel and delete options. They both don't do anything. If you check the box and select create it brings you back to the widget select area. Device is stock. No recent apps aside from one bad weather app. Any ideas? This is a new issue aside from the early shutdown before 0% battery. First it was 2% 15% and now 18% tonight. Disappointing for a $650 device. Thanks!
I didn't understand, actually what are you talking about?
Sorry, I realize it may be confusing. It seems to be unusual. I've attached a screenshot of what shows then you try add a widget that is from an app that is uninstalled. There should not be a widget listed in the listing to add when an app is uninstalled . Now the initial issue is when an app is installed that offers a widget I'm not seeing it in the widget listing area. I've uninstalled the app and reinstalled and widget still doesn't show in list. If I reboot the phone then I usually see the widget. Very odd! Any thoughts?
Having this problem too. Just added CurrentWidget and its not showing under "add widget". Restarted and the widgets there. Stock 5.1
I have the same problem , you have to reboot phone after adding widgets each time

Yeah, there are others with the same issue. For sure seems like an operating system bug. 5.1 update did not fix it. It just started a few week ago. I wonder if it has something to do with the stock launcher.
I've always thought that was the norm, but others feel it is a bug.
Try restarting system UI after install instead of a reboot and I'm told that should accomplish the same thing for you to see the new widgets in the list.
Are you guys using the standard Google launcher? I have never seen this issue but run Apex or Nova

Yeah no red flags there. The Chinese are known for their love of bloggers.
