Devs: What is this app? - Sprint HTC One (M8)

And why does it need updated?
Thanks.

I do not have that app.

I'm on H/K BB ROM, and this update popped up in the Play Store along with FB and ES file explorer.
I did not install this app.

Yeah, I'm on the same ROM and searched Play Store. I don't see it. Did it get reinstalled by Google or HTC Backup possibly, from a different device?

I'm using the same ROM as well and that app is nowhere to be found.

EDIT: Checked my device and I don't have that app either, though

Just checked the play store for updates and I have an update for this same app.
I am running the latest Viper Rom

I'm still rocking Captain_Throwback's stock/rooted .8 ROM (been lazy to flash the H/K ROM/firmware) and I just noticed the play store updated this app as well. Doesn't show up in my app drawer.
Reading a review in Google Play and it says it's some test file for Google Wallet and some Sprint app that supposed to replace it? No idea what it is. Maybe something Sprint is pushing to our phones?

Also running Captains stock/rooted rom. I just notice the "Sprint Touch" app which I didn't download. I went to uninstall, but it just said it would revert back to the older version. Must have been on the phone already just hidden. Anyone know what it does or is for? I could uninstall it but it was on the phone before just hidden. Did the update get pushed via google play? I couldn't find it on the play store so just wondering how it got updated.

I received an update for this app last night also. It auto-updated, never noticed it before. Any confirmation on what it is? I am on Bad Boyz ROM also and have flashed the HK RUU

I saw that last night too.......not sure what it is.

Well, I take back what I said.
I do have it in the Play Store under My Apps and it's awaiting an update. I guess it just took a little while longer for my phone to see that it "requires an update". Very curious.

I saw it yesterday as well and avoided updating it, then it just disappeared from the "My apps" list on its own...

Yep, same thing I noticed. Completely disappeared on it's own.
Odd little fellow, this touch update. :cyclops:

I still have it in my app drawer. Weird.

Still on mine as well. Still don't know what it does. Thinking about uninstalling it.

It didn't pop up till I installed Google Wallet. I think that may have something to do with it.

I rooted my phone just to be able to delete bloatware from Sprint. I didn't install a custom ROM.
This was NOT shown in my apps that I am aware of and out of nowhere it popped up one day needing to update. I don't know what this app is either. I have Touch 0.9. It wanted to update, I panic'd and I froze it with Titanium Backup.
I have not tested Google Wallet yet, since not many places accept it, so I've no idea if my freezing messed with that. I have had Google Wallet setup almost for awhile now and this Touch thing just came out of nowhere long after I had Wallet.
If you go to the Play store and type touch you'll get responses for a million other things, so I've no idea how to find it if i wanted to.

I am completely stock/not rooted and this same update popped up about a week ago on my m8. ait auto updated and then went away, there's no trace of it in my app drawer or the play store.

I know I'm late but I called Sprint and they claim that this app doesn't exist. They also said to go to a store and have a tech check it out.

Movies App from google now released (wifi)

all you xoom wifi owners check your market there should be videos app waiting for you in updates.
i see it but shouldnt we have a section in the market to rent movies now? i dont see the market update yet
yeah nothing in market yet but you can see movies you rented in the app and the shop goes to online im sure they will reroute it soon.
Its not just wifi Xooms i have a Vzw 3G Xoom and i got the update a little bit ago.
I see it but it does not install for me on us wifi stock 3.1 with unlocked bootloader.
yup, can't install on mine
please post videos apk
Can someone please post the apk so us rooted users can try it out and get a look at it etc..
The!
I have 3.1 stock will not install but just started showing device is compatible
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
This has been said before, but just as a reminder. You won't be able to install it if your bootloader is unlocked. You have to be completely stock and locked.
Just because we are told it won't work doesn't mean we can't get it to work.
Anyone have the apk yet?
Sent from my Tablet
I never said that somebody wont be able to make it work. Just that you won't be able to install it from the market. And as far as making it work, one would need to remove the checks that it does for modified devices.
I've had this on my wifi xoom ever since using BRD's method to update to 3.1. Is this update a true update? How do I get rid of the update notice?
Finally!!!!!!!
after 190909090 attempts!!! started to download and its working!!
Probably was something wrong with the google server not allowing to download.
try it again. everyone should be good to go.
still no go for me

Not entirely true it can be installed if your rooted, however you will not be able to watch rented videos.
My rooted wifi got the update via market today and installed without any issue.
I finally got it to install by first opening up the gallery and then going back to the market and clicking on update. I am rooted and running Tiamat Kernel.
Still no go for me either. For those of you that got the update today did your market change as well?
Anybody mind posting the movies apk?

Same problem here, but it shows the missing apps as "installed " when I search for them like xda. I uninstalled the update and had it pushed again and I saw my apps listed but then it went away after an hour. My brothers nexus s doesn't so that. I wonder what's causing it, but not a big deal for me.

Yeah I'm not sure what's going on... kinda of frustrating not being able to see whether my other apps have updates or not.
I agree, its a documented problem, I'm sure they'll push a fix
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
my list of apps in the market has been randomly missing a lot of apps for at least a year. "Clear data" restores all the installed apps, but after a while some go missing again. I'm quite surprised that it still happens with the new market.
No new market here, though... still 2.3.6
If you have problems with missing apps try to delete the data in the apps settings. Opening the market again will result in again an acceptation of the terms and your apps will be there again...

I still haven't gotten my market update yet, although I am in Canada.
I wish I had the old market. The new one is sluggish and has a lot of "features" I don't need.
i agree... new market is bloated and sluggish... i liked the functionality of the older market (i can browse a LONG list of top free apps)
So, just flash the old market!!! Its much better than the new one

Do I have to use the stock ROM in order to use the Google Wallet?
I just downloaded and installed the APK and it doesn't appear to be working for me.

You don't install it and you need to be rooted. You put it in /system/app/ and change the permissions to rw-r--r--. After you reboot, it'll show up in your apps.
Can someone post the apk for the new update?
So just to clarify, you can use Google Wallet if you're rooted??
And I second the request for a link.

It's not appearing in the Google Play market for me. I did what AZImmortal said to do, but its saying that my SIM card is invalid?
I may be using an invalid APK, I'll try a different one.

I saw it on mine sometimes. I used Voodoo to temporarily unroot, worked fine after that.
.
My credit card is taking forever to get added. Then again this is on my Verizon GNex .
Works on my N7 now, good stuff.
I dont see an update nor do I see google wallet in the play store. IM not rooted or anything. I do have the google wallet app on my tablet though already. Wtf?
Edit. Went to the list of All apps instead of Installed, and it showed google wallet and let me update it. I dont knwo why it didnt show installed or whatever, but got it now
Actually it would be more useful if they would simply allow the thing outside of the US.
Wallet doesn't show up in the Play Store for some (all?) custom roms. If someone can pull the updated apk from /system/app/ and post it for everyone, that would be great.

That's normal. It's Google's way of saying, "you're rooted, so don't blame us if you lose your phone and someone gains access to Google Wallet b/c you're rooted."
It's saying that it's incompatible with my Nexus 7 and I can't access it via the store.
Weird.

Google's new messaging app Hangouts

Any one have luck updating gtalk to hangouts, I suppose if your rooted it's probably simple but if your unrooted as I am than the talk app is a system app bloatware and hasn't updated to hangouts

OP asked how we'd go about this if we aren't rooted. Curious about this as well.
You can do it via the play store through the webpage.
Says i have hangouts installed but its not in my app tray..when i hit open from the play market hangout app page it opens Talk
Same thing happened to me...just install it from the play.google.com site as @robfactory said above. Fixed.
installed from web to device and rebooted phone
I'll be sticking with talk. Hangouts is a bit......how do I say it..... IT SUCKS:what:

This is how I did it. Still had a shortcut for Talk in one of my homescreen folders, but just deleted it and replaced it with Hangouts. I like it.

Hate to say it bud, but step one for anything XDA, is root your phone .
Stay on the stock ROM if you want (god knows why, less battery life, slower phone, less secure phone, still the same phone and functionality, but that is your choice to stay on the ROM it came with), but you should add root capabilities. You can stay on the same ROM, only downside is I'm pretty sure there is no way to stay with your current setup, HTC Dev unlock WILL wipe your existing settings, widgets, profiles, apps, etc. But you can flash just the small root package and modify nothing that the phone came with originally. Rooting your phone is required here at XDA (lol not really, I just say that). Anyway, sorry I don't have anything useful to say about the app, but trust me... You want root Besides, you can deny root access to anything. Who is SYSTEM anyway? Why does he have all the powers and I haz so little?
P.S.
Do it.
I am getting this...

I believe the update was pushed today, I saw it in play store as the actual update and it worked fine for me. I got the error message in the previous post once, but restarting the app fixed it. I do get my contact list disappearing quite often.
So far I feel the contact list could use some managing, I miss seeing my talk list and seeing who's online but I suppose I could try it out some more. There is a decent amount of emoticons added, but everything feels very basic and minimalistic. Not quite what I was expecting, could be because it's early on.
All in all, still feels like a beta.

Google Wallet w/ a rooted One

So I recently rooted my one and I love it even more! I was able to get rid of the Sprint app's and many other un-needed apps. Google wallet no longer works though When I ran it for the first time on Viper Rom it said device not supported. I later did a temp un-root by disabling Super SU. I failed Root Checker meaning I no longer had root. I went back into Google Wallet did a reset went back in and the message went away. It just gets hung up on set up though. It won't let me add a credit card. I have read about some work arounds but, was unsure if it worked on the one.
Sorry if this is a noob question.
Thanks
