How do I download and use the "[email protected]" app from USAA bank from outside the US? It's free but I need to get a legitimate copy of it for obvious reasons. I emailed USAA and did the obvious Google searches before posting this, but I am getting nowhere. I am making the assumption that they are limiting it to the US market (I'm in the UK). I am running a compatible version of Android, so I should see it, but I don't. Here are my basic questions:
1) If I got the .apk somehow and installed it here in the UK, would it work from here?
2) Would using a wifi connection with it be different than a mobile network?
3) If #2 is yes, could I configure my router to use a US proxy?
I really like the idea of taking a picture of a check with my G1, and depositing it that way. If anyone has figured this out please let me know how it works. Thanks.

These are assumptions, not answers:
Most likely it would work from UK in any form you try to use (WiFi/network). I would assume since USAA will have clients outside of the US for obvious reasons there would probably be no check that you're on a US carrier.
If you're having trouble getting the apk, I could download it from the market and send it to you. Send me a PM and I can email it to you.
Here it is. Hope it works from abroad!
Sweeet!
Thanks, r4d14n7. I appreciate the help. I just tried it over wifi and it worked no problem. Haven't tried it over 3G but I bet that works too. I was using the regular [email protected] before, but this is even better.
** Mods if you can change the title of the post to "[email protected] .apk outside the US?" it would help others searching for this same issue. I'm a noob and I wasn't able to type it out correctly...thanks.

What phone and version are you using, because I DL'd and tried to install, but it keeps giving me "aaplication not installed".
I'm using Sprint HERO, but version 2.1, so I should be good to go, thanks.
forty01 I'm using the latest stable Cyanogen build (4.2.15.1) on a HTC Dream/T-Mobile G1. I downloaded the .apk to my desktop, then transferred it to the memory card on the phone over USB, and disconnected the cable. Then I just navigated to the .apk file in Astro file manager and opened it (touch the .apk file in Astro and then touch "open app manager"). I've got the phone's SD card partitioned with the apps running off that (apps to SD). You probably did the same thing but I'm covering all the basics here to avoid any confusion. Hope you get it working. If I left anything out here just ask for help again.
Yess i have the htc eris and can not find the mobile banking app for regions can any one help??
That was downloaded from the market just before I posted it (10Mar2010). I'm running a G1, but I'm not sure that makes any difference. I'm a little noobish when it comes to apks
I overlooked something obvious here but I'm learning. I just tried the "Market Enabler" and now I see the USAA app from overseas. That's got to be the simplest way to grab it, and keep it updated.
Can I get this to work on Cupcake? I'm running the Aloysius ROM on a CDMA Hero. The software version says 1.56.651.2, and the .apk above won't install.

Not on Cupcake (Android 1.5), it runs on Donut (Android 1.6) or higher.
From the USAA website... "The Android app is free and available now for devices running the Android operating system version 1.6 or later."
You will have to upgrade to a newer version of Android before installing. When you do, grab the USAA app directly from the market. Use the Market Enabler (search for it) to get the app if you are outside the USA. Good luck.
Reviving this thread. I have a GSM Hero (U.K, unlocked, not Orange) running Android 2.1 and still cant find this USAA app in the market. Anyone know why?
** Update August 2011, I removed the attachment, it's a year old. The only correct way to do this from outside the US is to root, use Market Enabler, and get it in the Marketplace.
Here's the newest version of the app, attached below. (Removed)
First thing you need is a file browser to navigate to the .apk, once it's on your phone's memory card. Find a file browser in the market if you don't have one yet. You will have to enable installing third-party sources, your phone will prompt you if you haven't already. The problem with this method is that you can't update the app, and you have to trust my attachment as being safe.
A better way is to root your phone, and install Market Enabler (Google it). Requires root access, but it works perfectly. You can use it over wifi, 3G, whatever. You can use it to browse a lot of different markets. Plus, you can download the USAA app directly from the market, and update it that way, too.
Post a reply or PM me if that doesn't work out for you. Also, email USAA and ask them to make it available outside the US. I did, and they aren't ready to do it yet. Silly, considering who their members are. Just my opinion.

I agree with everything you said. Did you actually talk to USAA about that? Yeah, I went looking for Market Enabler etc, but you need root (as you said). I can't find a reasonable guide for rooting a stock 2.1 GSM Europen Hero (unbranded/unlocked). Is there one?

This looks promising. [theunlockr.com] Third line for "unbranded European users"
One thing I didn't think to mention yet is to try something like App Brain. I haven't used it yet but it's pretty popular on this and other android forums. I think you can set up an account on the website, load their app on your rooted or un-rooted phone, and load apps that way. Worth a try.

Thanks so much r4d14n7. I was having problems getting the app from the market as well. I live in Belgium.
But now that I got the app up and working, I tried to use [email protected] and it is telling me it cannot find my location. I have GPS and wifi on and both the maps application and my web browser on my vibrant are working. Any suggestions?
tpmaxwell2 I've never seen it try to get my location. I don't think it needs it. USAA is just limiting the download availability to the US. Once you get the .apk, anyone can use it. I'm using it no problem from the UK and it never switches on my GPS, nor is there any delay launching the app. It just comes right up. I posted an updated version in post #14, scroll up a little to see it. I've got that version running on both my rooted G1 and a stock, unrooted Desire from here in Europe. If you try it and still get location errors or other problems, post here again so we can figure out the problem.

On the version I just downloaded I cant even get into [email protected] without getting this error: "your location is required to use [email protected] please enable location services on your device and retry."
So I enabled wifi location and the app worked! Thanks so much!!
FYI...
I ran across this thread after trading in my iPhone 3gs for a HTC Desire HD. I went into the market to download the USAA app, and it couldn't be found. As suggested above, I installed market enabled, set as a t-mobile phone, then searched again. The USAA app showed up in the search, I installed it, and it works fine. BTW, I'm in the UK as well. Hope this helps for anyone else having the same problem.
I'm having an issue where the timestamp on my msgs are now incorrect after flashing to a new rom. I was told that htis happened if I am outside the USA (I am from canada on rogers), but this never happened before to me from flashing to a AT&T rom.
Is there an actual fix to it?
If i flash to a different rom will my timestamp be fixed?
how about if flash stock, will it fix the issue?
I had the same problem. I can't figure it out either, but I found a work around.
I downloaded Handcent SMS from the market. set it up the way Ilike it, and disabled the notifications from the default SMS app.
I now have correct time stamps, and the sms has different skins to look like HTC, IPhone etc.

Thanks but i was looking for an actual fix rather than a work around. Do u know if it will go back to normal if i flashed another rom?
i share my captivate with my chinese fiance and would like to know how to keep the phone english but have the ability to text in chinese for her. is this possible?
i did search the forums but they seem to have chinese and want english. i only want to text in chinese? how can i do this?
I beleive the gingerbread keyboard from the android market has the ability to switch languages by swiping the space bar. (Its in the settings and you have to enable it)
Give it a shot
edit : And I gotta say, its pretty cool to be able to type in Chinese. I kinda wanna learn it LOL
many of the swypes in the custom roms now have 32 languages available
thanks supaphreek and TRusselo. im running froyo and i guess its time to update to gingerbread to get those languages. does kies provide it (GB) now? i have to unrooted to run kies mini, right? anything else i have to do before running kies mini?
i want FF3.0 also so i guess this is the week i will have to fix or break my phone.lol
my first new ROM, i am so scared to brick.
Install Google Pinyin ime from the market. Easiest way to get Chinese input. Works in any version of android.

You don't need to flash an entire new rom or even GB to get this feature. Its as simple as opening the market on your 2.2 or even 2.1 device and downloading an application called "Keyboard from Android 2.3" developed by Steven Lin. Once youve installed it, go into settings > Locale and text > (Now check the Gingerbread Keyboard box) and then go into Gingerbread Keyboard settings > Input languages > here you would select what languages you need.
FYI, i dont think this application has any chinese languages... but then again, i cant read chinese so im not really sure, i just dont recognize any chinese symbols.
There may be another app or a language pack that could help you out.

i cant access the market. im in china using my fiance's sim chip. when the chip is in her crackberry it runs internet but in my captivate it says unable to open page. however, when i go to a hotel lobby i can run wifi and my browser (cant run wifi on my home router because as TRusello explained to me some chinese routers run on channels higher than 12 and this is the case with my router.) i dont know how to change channels on the router.
i read some post that said google will start banning rooted phones. is this true? if so, should i unroot to use kies or access the market. i ask because i am going to hong kong next week where there is uncensored internet and hopefully i can access the market after buying a ten dollar sim offered in vending machines.

i would download that is there is a site with an apk but since i have no market access i can only get apps by apk download. if you know where to get that i would surely donate to the developer.

that's an ime make by baidu.com aka the chinese google, and host by them. not sure if the ui has english, but guess ur wife can figure it out if she knows how to type chinese. That should do the trick before u get to hong kong. On the side note you probably need to set up the apn to get edge access in china depends on ur carrier. and no 3g for us phones on china mobile since they use some unique 3g network designed by themslves. if u know what ur carrier is i can help u to look up the apn.

she is on china mobile.
i found a way to access android market in english even though its a chinese site:
https://market.android.com/?hl=en
i am wondering if i make an account, will google recognize my phone imei and prohibit me from having a usa and chinese android market account. my chinese account would have a different login and phone number but like i said same imei number for my phone. does google check imei's?
why does everything have to be so backwards in china?
also, we can get texts in chinese but can only send texts in pinyin (romanized form of chinese.) so at least we are not totally without communication,as far as texting, and her mom knows pinyin but her dad doesnt.
CMNET
name:cmnet
apn:cmnet
everything else leave blank...
that's the faster apn setup for china mobile. As far as the market just use the same google account is fine, at least that's how it was working for me last december when i was in china on china mobile. I couldn't view the suggested apps etc... but searching and downloading from the market was fine.

hey guys,
testing the chinese xt883 stock rom these days.
apart from extensive battery drain i have one big problem:
all my contacts (which are about 500) are displayed in contacts view but when someone calls me the phone won't show the assiocated contact name to the number but only the caller id itself!?
when i go to call list and add the same number again to the contact the next time the person calls me the contact name is correctly associated and displayed.
same problem in text messaging also, but not with every contact?!
you see i don't want to manually edit all my contacts to make the phone know which number belongs to which contact ...
anyone know how to fix this?
any help would be greatly appreciated!

Is this the xt883 ROM on an xt862 for gsm functionality? If so, any reason in particular you chose this ROM? Do you know about flashing the xt883 radio.img to get gsm on the xt862? It works great and doesn't force me to use the Chinese ROM lol.
sure i know about flashing the radio.img only but i also want the other benefits of the xt883, like call firewall, call record, bluetooth transfer, hardware decoding and so on.
what's included in the radio.img? is the cell standby issue fixed when flashing the radio.img only?
thanks!
Sent from my XT883 using XDA App
Do you mean the battery life due to having the cell radio on standby? I've only used the phone on T-Mobile so I don't really have a comparison for that. I've noticed wifi reception is a little weak, so I'm wondering if that has to do with the radio.img. I read that the xt883 is only rated for 802.11 b/g, so that would explain it.
I mainly use stock xt862 ROM because I tried the xt883 ROM and didn't like having to do the work around for Gapps and all the Chinese bloatware included. I didn't know about any exclusive benefits, but I don't think I'd need them now that you mention them.
I really just wanted gsm functionality and the stock ROM with the radio tweak works just fine for that.

Also, if you're interested in seeing what it includes, you can look in the dev section where the thread is and just download the zip to look at the files.

i imported the contacts to sdcard, then via file manager opened the vcf file manually and my contacts were updated again.
then all contacts displayed correctly when calls came or anything.
Hi all, i have an Ascend P7-L00. knew everything was gonna be crap when i did a first sign in of google. but didn't noe it was going to be this bad.
1.) Google Accounts can't sync contacts. i have tried formatting the phone a few times
2.) mobile signal on slot1 will drop every once in awhile
3.) GPS signal will drop every few km travelled
4.) installed nova launcher cos the stock is real slow! my 2yrs old note2 doesnt have non of those issues at all. haiz.
Don't have the issue with sync, but I have the P7_L10 though.
Reception of signal is little more worse when I compare it with my prev phone: Sony Xperia S
Speed is good in my opinion.
haiz, now in thailand, using a local sim on slot1, occasionally it will show i am roaming, and no data is available, turning on data roaming doesnt get internet back on also.

I am experiencing similar problems with:
1) same problems for the google account. other people found solutions, but i just use outlook account instead for the time being. as remember the P7-L00 is a China unicom phone. so i try to workout how to report these to Huawei. buy i think you can send email to their USA or Europe support center: [email protected]
i will try to write a summary and send to this address. i think you need to do the same. otherwise no one knows what is going on?
2) 4G lte ( i am using Telstra's 1800mhz 4G), some times the signal drops, and the phone is trying to scan for wifi even i had wifi turned off. looks like there are some bugs there. it is very annoying when i am using skype to chat with someone, the in every few minutes i need to turn on the data again. somehow it switches off by itself, then start to scan for wifi ( even with the wifi disabled)? i did not see this problem until i start to use skype.....
4) the phone is very fast after i had removed/ disabled most of the Chinese apps. it is faster than my note 7105 lte.
hope anyone else can share some of the experience about these.

i have just updated this new 124 version. it seams a bit smoother. but i will test the 4G LTE signal drop issues to see if the new version fix the problem. the new rom has new baseband. i think it may help the signal in 4G/3G, etc.

i would try to unroot it first. and doing a factory reset, then install the new factory 124ps01 firmware. I have two sim cards, the OTA is not ready yet, so i installed the upgrade via usb drive. just connect to a usb drive to your phone, and select update from usb.
most chinese apps can be removed, then only few huawei's apps which can be disabled. the new firmware experience is good, especially the network signal, and battery performance. i left the phone with airplane mode at 11:00 pm, and this morning at 9:00, it did not even drop 1% at all. tried few skype and other voip calls, and found that the 4G signal is more stable than before. the phone is also very fast. i was trying to root the phone before, but giving up due the new firmware does not allow root at this moment. but i think the factory firmware is optimized and it is very fast - much faster than my note 2 that i can compare with. so i am happy. i will give it a few more days test to see how it is going.

How to install Gapps to P7-L00
Everyone having problems with Google service on his/her P7-L00 (or other Chinese market variant) should be aware of the bad news: the phone simply lacks the good-old Google apps. But the good news is that you can install all required apps without rooting and/or flashing the phone. You can install them as any other Play app. It is so because the firmware has built-in two core apps: the GoogleServicesFramework.apk and GooglePlayServices.apk. These apps enable to install further Google apps.
The simplest way is to search the web for 'Google Installer' app (I think here, in XDA it's also present), download it and install to phone, and then the app itself provides a list from which you can choose the apps you need (Play Store, Gmail, Search, Hangouts, Translate -- whatever!).
Take note that both GoogleCalendarSync and GoogleContactSync app are very important to install otherwise you would not be able to use you Contact and Calendar apps with your Google account.
