Market - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok, this is getting outrageous. I can search fo a market app, skype for example. I click on it, and there's no f*%$ing install button. Just gives me all the app info. Has anyone found a workaround? Skype is cleary labeled to work on the Epic.

Google Search 'Speak Now' closes after sound is detected

As the title says, everytime I use the google search widget and app and try to use the speak now feature, it crashes right when it picks up sound. I've tried restarting and killing all apps, so I don't know whats wrong, anyone else having this issue?

I just tested voice search through the softkey and the widget and it works fine for me.

Im+ needs GPS why?

I just noticed this today when I loaded Im+ that it was trying to obtain my location (using GPS). After searching Google I couldn't find any info. Anyone here know the answer? This is the paid, no ad version btw.

Listed in the list of supported features on the IM+ Market page
"Share your Geo location with you buddies through status message."
That right there will require GPS.

Why the Facebook app is terrible

I don't think any words are necessary.

Mine is a lot different

Because they know when you have over 500 million people that no matter how bad your app is they will still come back to the site.
I have stopped using the app. It drives me crazy. I use friendcaster and website. The app is so slugish and acts stupid around 99% of the time.

Faster facebook. Goggle it on the play store
Lol I don't like Facebook enough to get a dedicated app for it. From what I have seen though, their mobile site is really poorly designed like they are trying to force you to use one their app. I assume Friendcaster is much better than the official app.
Don't forget that the latest update also added FB camera and FB messenger apps. At least mine did. Now I have 3 FB apps. WEAK.

Yeah they changes the name on the market. I believe it is called "fast for android"

Yeah, I've deleted the Fb app too--don't like the increasing bloat and I'm really annoyed by the their spammed camera and messaging apps. Tried Fast for Facebook, and as much as I'd like to support their xda-friendly devs, it doesn't seem to update all that well or display photos and such.
OTOH, the mobile web app, it seems to do what I need without bloating up my phone. For a light Fb users, it does the job.
Yep... Agreed. I absolutely hate the facebook app.

That was the last straw for me, uninstalled it. They've removed the extra launcher icons now, but the app is still terrible.
A lot of times it will turn on my GPS when I enter the app, and never let go of it.
It's terrible cause it's Facebook. I hope my boss doesn't read this

Want to open Maps through Navigation...

Is there an NFC app that will make this possible? Currently the only thing an app can do is to open the Navigation app... But doesn't have an option to open the Maps function within that app.
Download NFC Task Launcher. You can open any app

It's the first option, open application. Don't open it through the activity option.

You know when you open the Navigation app (the Blue arrow) and then hit the Maps icon within that app... It opens up Navigation without a destination? That's what I'm trying to accomplish.
I wrote the author and he said that it doesn't work yet. Do you by chance know how to use Tasker? The author said that if I can program Tasker to launch that activity, I can point the NFC Launcher program to it.

Why don't you just open the maps app? Instead of assigning navigation just assign the maps app.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
Because if I use the maps app... The screen times out. Using the navigation function prevents this.
Add another task. Under display, add screen timeout to 10 minutes. And add the maps app. That way you won't need to worry about it timing out too fast.
You can add more tasks to one tag.

[Q] Google Now keeps wanting to install?

Hi all
I don't have Google Now installed.
But when I want to use Google regular search, either from the search bar on top of homescreen or from the app drawer, Google Now keeps trying to install itself. Can I permanently remove Now? And just have regular search?
It is almost like Google Search is advertising Now, but I don't want it ask me to install Now every time, I just want to go straight to search.
Even hitting the microphone opens the Google Now install window, then I must hit the back button to go back to regular search.
This is for CM10.1
Thanks
Heeter
Uh Google search is Google now, that's the evolution of search, the only way I know to not get Google now is to search from Google Web page if you install Google search it is all your going to get.

Interesting and I've never noticed that before but I've never not had a reason to.
Looking at the app, Google Now is what Google has built their app around. You can go to your browser and do a search without getting this issue correct?

Thank you for your responses
Will have to figure out something else then.
Thanks again

Perhaps try turning off the history?
It says it "may" disable functions such as Google Now, but I doubt it can be disabled. Search from webpage is my guess.
