[Q] SamsungApps - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm not sure if this has been talked about or not.
I tried to search & came up empty.
I recently switched from EC05 Bonsia to CleanGB MTD.
I am trying to put the finishing touches on rebuilding the phone & when I tried to used SamsungApps it wouldn't connect, says no network connection.
Does this program no longer work under Gingerbread?
Or is there a newer version?
I restored a backup from EC05 (I know BAD!!) that's all I had for that app.
Looking at Samsung's site it looks like the Epic is no longer supported.
Anyone have any input

just keep trying, i had the same issue. and it worked on wed.

Thanks, you were right. I had been trying for a few days before I posted & it finally picked up this morning & wanted to update. Now it works fine.

Are you guys getting a bunch of what looks like full games in there but they say for SGSII only? I wonder if there is anyway to get those running...

Does anyone have the apk for the SamsungApps that works for our phone?

Yes, I can see several I'd like to try, but it wil not download them because it says for SGS2 only.
The game is in the market for the Epic so if there is a way to get it to start the download they should work, I would think. Samsung wants everyone to get the new product.
Anyone have any ideas on how to trick the SamsungApps into downloading these?

Ok, got it.....
I pulled the apk out of my phone, I am running CleanGB MTD 1.0.3 & the apk just updated, so it should be current.
I hope this helps ya......

Thanks, I actually had that apk but it wasn't working. So I thought maybe someone had a different one. Turned out I was just being dense and was trying to install it on CM7 and it wasn't working. Once I switched to another ROM it worked. Thanks again!

Angry birds & Seasons, and Riptide are full add free versions.
NFS Shift and Bejewled are 60minute trials (lame). Post if you find any more full titles.
As for the sgs2 games, I'm thinking a build.prop hack might allow those to install but I haven't had time to try yet. Basically just like how a bunch of us got 50gig box accounts for "LG phones"

Dead Space is a full version game too.
I've been playing it & it's pretty good.
Graphics are unbelievable!!!!!
I'll have to learn how to do the build.prop so I can try to make that work....

Blockbuster on evo

Is it possible to get the blockbuster app off of the droid x and install it on the evo? There are a whole lot of movies on there and i don't know if there is a way to play movies on the evo. Also i want to hook it up to my hdtv and watch movies on there.
Yes it is possible to get off the droid but no it does not install.

Can you send me a link to the APK? I doubt it'll install with the traditional manner, but it may be able to be pushed.
Does not push either. I have tried. Also tried dlna as well. doing a few of the nonblur apps at a time to test.

now working on evo!!!
my friend said the market had the blockbuster app accidentally for a couple hours then they pulled it...saying it is not ready for other carriers yet...but he said it downloaded, installed and even worked!!!! (although, he said it force closes often and the quality doesn't seem that great) ...i am trying to get it from him, but it may take a while ...he is a noob trying to figure out how to get it and send it. any tips for him?? (we are going to try titanium backup)
I downloaded it yesterday and deleted it 10 minutes later.
All download links of the blockbuster app have been removed
Sent from my Piece of Heaven using the XDA app
i got it
i got it, it installed... and i activated (online though)...I EVEN RENTED A MOVIE!!! ok, but it wouldn't download so, no go. not many force closes...it said
" DOWNLOAD FAILED" ...No compatible profile available for download. My profile in the app is set at portable...but i must need some droidx permissions or something
Is there anyway to pull the permissions from the DroidX dump?? I have the original blockbuster app from that, along w/ the rest of the dump but have no clue where to look for the additional files that may be needed to install so it thinks i am on a droidx...if this is even possible.

Minecraft!

Released, works, tried on mine
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mojang.minecraftpe.demo&feature=more_from_developer
Works great! Thanks! Just gotta get used to these controls. lol
Weird. I couldn't find it by searching the Market on my phone, but I was able to "install" it from the website to make it show up under My apps.
I've never played Minecraft before. Is this the full game? Or a watered down mobile version?

Anyone try Blood and Glory on Epic 4G?

I read an article about Blood and Glory and went to the market to search for it. I would not show up. I went back to the article and it had one of those barcode things, I scanned it and found the game. I downloaded it then realized it was like 37 megs but decided what the heck and let it finish. I noticed at the top it had a black bar that said the app was not compatible with my deivce. I tried it anyway when it finished and it actually plays very nice. Great graphics and runs smooth.
Now why would they say its not compatible but it seems to run fine. Are there other apps/games out there that I/we may be missing out on that will actually work on our phones? Just wondering if anyone has tried it to confirm that it also runs fine on their phones.
Jim Weda
If it says that its not compatible, how come the market let you download it? Or did you sideload...
Sent from my E10i using XDA App
When I scanned the barcode at the website I found the article at it gave me the option to open in browser. It took me to the Market. Here's the link if you want to see if it takes you there also. First try to do a search on your phone and see if it shows up. If not, scan the barcode at this website or if you want just go to this link for the market.
Barcode: http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/1...ng-blood-glory-is-infinity-blade-for-android/
Direct Market Link: https://market.android.com/details?...51bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5nbHUuZ2xhZGlhdG9yX25yIl0.
I did just do a search on the Market using a web browser on my computer and it did show up but I on my phone when I saw this app.
Either way, when you get to the app page at the Market it says "This app is incompatible with all of your devices." At least it does on my Epic 4G. Give it a shot and see what it does on your phone or computer. On my phone I just hit download without reading anything because I saw the video on the resourced website. It started downloading. See if you can download it on your phone and see what happens. It should download if it did on mine. I can even take a pic of my phone to show that it is on there and I can load the app.
I've never tried downloading an up that says its not compatible with my phone. Maybe you can download it but it just won't work but for some reason this huge app does work on my phone. Let me know your results.
Jim
Doesn't show up on market search for me. The direct market link you provided works but it will not allow me to download it. I tried loading the page with wifi both on and off, though I haven't tried pushing it from the desktop site.
Looks pretty awesome btw!
Did you try using using the Barcode Scanner, choose "open browser" and then just click the download button right away?
This is the scanner app I used: https://market.android.com/details?...mNvbS5nb29nbGUuenhpbmcuY2xpZW50LmFuZHJvaWQiXQ..
after the scanner picked up the code I saw the open browser option and it let me download it.
I'm really just trying to understand why I was able to download it but other people can't. I'm going to try it again but try it on the one that is not [R] and will post back here.
Jim
I tried doing the same thing with the one that is less gruesome or bloody I guess and it won't let me download that one. This is really weird. Anyone know of any other apps that should not be compatible with the Epic 4G. I'd like to try and see if I can download any of those as well.
Also, is there a way I can upload a small video to show that it does work on my phone. I will do a short video with no cuts or breaks and show the phone itself, go into the system info to show I'm running the new GB 2.3.5 update and click on the Blood and Glory app and show that it play fine.
I just tried, no go. Looks l like a good game though.

dtruth313, would mind telling me why your Epic is not running the same update as the one pushed to us? I've been pushed EI22, 2.3.5 but yours is EG22, 2.3.4. Rooted or just a better update. With the Sprint logo I'm guessing you work there. My udate did a great job fixing my phone after constant headaches and pretty much a worthless since Aug 2011. Had a couple lock ups and minor reboots/shutdown but what seems to be cosistent cache build up every 2-4 hours and anywhere from 1 mg to 10 mg roughly which I have to wipe clean manually. I am not roote and don't like task killers. Been doing that since the update and can't pinpoint it to any one particular thing.
I started with clean phone since update and was adding one or two apps at a time to see if that was the culprit but it doesn't seem to be the case. Haven't heard of anyone else colpaining about . Any ideas of what might be causing that? Any help would be appreciated. Maybe I should create a thead to see if mine is an isolated case since all three phone I went through on {royo were total nightmares. Gingerbread is the only reason I'm still considering sticking around with Sprint a little longer.
Sorry to go off track but hey, I strted this thread. =)
Jim Weda
jimweda I am running the same update. ei22 gb 2.3.5. I apologize my signature is wrong I have not update it. But I have just started saw it in my market saying not compatible with device. Also it starts to freezes and now after I post it is no longer in the market.
I didn't really play the game, I didn't run into this incompatibility thing you all are. I played the game, it ran fine for the most part. Froze and Crashed one time.
Just played it again, ran fine. Looks pretty great, seems pretty repetitive.
What's with the Glu game starting up and running for no reason? Its creepy I hate any program that thinks it can just start up. I liked Gun Bros but it really pissed me off & the people at Glu never answer emails
Sent from the Drivers Seat of my Suby txting and Driving doing 100MPH+ in a school zone! Ha.
I downloaded the game from the market. I use chainfire 3d so that's maybe why I was able to download it.
I sideloaded it. (free game on market) got it to install, and it works great. somewhat fun....got boring real quick. it also gave me the not compatible in the market. I can't find a reason for it to be not compatible at all....maybe rooted rom? (cleanGB)
Here is an easier way lol to get it. here i found the APK for it. just use file manager to install it after putting it in ur SD card. Thank me if i helped you

Dammit...I guess this would've worked before MegaUpload got nailed and FileSonic flipped the f*** out and cancelled any file-sharing ability.
I even tried nabbing this game from Getjar. It also seems to think my Epic 4G is incompatible. The thing I don't understand is that I've been able to download and play this game before. Why would it end up being "incompatible" out of the blue?
I have it running it perfectly on my epic (cm7 and cm9)..you have to download the game from an online site..go to google..look up the current version in the market and google search it...the game runs perfectly finebut it constantly gets updates..whenever the game gets an update, you can't play the game..you are forced to update it in the market...which is impossible so I have to constantly play on airplane mode or google search for an updated version...the game is ok but really repetitive.
p.s. google search the name of "the game", the version and add "apk" at the end....or go to "4shared.com" and look it up
I just downloaded the apk, and then it played fine.... until it said I need to update it (which I couldnt)
not compatible with device
I get not compatible with device when i access the market via phone or computer. So I downloaded the apk from a file share and place it on my sd card via usb and computer. I then installed the game and all is good
Available in the Amazon App store!
I downloaded this game yesterday from the Amazon App store and it works! No messages of incompatibility!

Gameloft Games all 99 cents for now....

Just incase you guys didnt know.
If you've done crossix mod then this deal is even sweeter cause more games will show up in the market. Make sure you give him proper thanks.
Must be rooted to do his mod. Give Brendan proper thanks as well.
GAME ON!!!!
Bought 9mm and Order and Chaos ( play O&C on the iPhone too.) Gotta admit I am really diggin 9mm
Sent from my Iconia A100 using Tapatalk
If you don't want to do the fix. Buy the games online and e-mail Gameloft with the order number and they will send you the A500 apks. Usually the same day from my experience, however I imagine they are gonna be kinda busy with the 99 cent sale.
I've done this twice already when I bought games on my phone that weren't available for my tab. They have great customer service, unlike E.A. (eff them)
EDIT: Speaking of which here is the direct link they sent me to download Asphalt Adrenaline HD - http://dl.gameloft.com/cm/t0/0rz0eYrFw33/Asphalt6Adrenaline.apk
So if you purchased that game just download from the link above. It still checks the market to see if you bought, so no stealing.
I am trying to buy the games online but it won't let me; it asks for my phone info .
I am not rooted but really want some of the gameloft games. Is there any other way?
You'll have to root and do the build.prop change I posted a while back to find more games.

Yeah I was afraid of that... Seems like since these are selling fast now GL would get off their butts and make the games available to this platform. Oh well, guess my options are wait or root...

No harm rooting or doing crossix buildprop mod. It doesn't unlock bootloader. I'd do it now just so you have the games now in case you end up with another device later. You won't regret it. Follow the links I posted.

One thing about my device id mod is that it breaks the update function. It sends mixed signals to acer and acer responds with an invalid device type error (when looking at logcat) which is why I haven't posted this mod in the dev section. In order to use the update function you'd have to change the build.prop file back to origional.
The auto updater (and manual) will be completely broken until you restore the original build.prop.

I tried the Manual Updater several times today with your mod, and it seems to be working okay, I just get the usual "Your device is up to date" message. Which brings me to another question, why isn't the US seeing all these updates hitting the rest of the world?

It'll act like its checking for an update but its sending acer invalid data. You wont see the errors unless your looking through the logcat data. So it'll always show "Your device is up to date".

Oh, okay, got ya. I have the games I wanted from Gameloft, including MC3 which I bought today for 99 cents, so I may just load up my backup build.prop, though it looks like it may be a while before we see any updates in the US.
If you use the origional build.prop, the gameloft games wont run. They'll give an error "unsupported device" (it's dumb of gameloft to limit their games per device, but they do)...

Hmm, so is there a way to get them to play while still allowing Acer updates to come through? I guess it's not a big deal, you can always apply updates manually.

Which I think is ok til ICS starts rolling out. Nothing wrong with the 3.2.1 update.zip I posted that I see any reason to really enable updater for me just to get an official 3.2.1 from acer. I'd trade being able to DL more apps and games over that. Again til ICS comes around then ill switch it back. And again thanks for your contribution crossix.

Thats weird. Can you go to www.market.android.com on your tablet and go to the game you just purchased and it should list your compatible devices you can install it to. Do you see a500 on the list? If you dont you might not have done the mod correctly. If it does recheck the lines you edited in build prop. You mightve missed a character.

New Android Market APK

Enjoy
http://www.mediafire.com/?72w5189rc2wpa0c
Here you will find .49 cent apps.
You don't actually have to download anything to update your market: Just go into settings/applications and find the market app. Simply delete the data (only), and the next time you open your Market, it'll upgrade itself. Hope this helps.
deleted data. got tha carter iv for $.25 to celebrate.
Not true for everyone. Many people, like myself, just got an updated TOS agreement. My market was 3.4.4 but the new one is 3.4.6.
youre right, mine is still 3.4.4. the deals are still there, so i dont care

Are you saying the "delete data trick" didn't work for you here? Cuz that's weird: it worked perfectly on my phone (always have used this to get the latest market), and I do have 3.4.6.... The only question I would ask is: Are you on a gbread Rom or an ICS Rom? (I'm running ICS....maybe 3.4.4 is the latest for Gingerbread, and 3.4.6 is only for those on ICS?) Just a guess.
I also got the updated TOS, the deals are there, and I'm still on 3.4.4. The icon and the app still say "Market".

Yes. It looks like 3.4.6 might be for ICS only but that doesn't make sense because the market is no longer. They would at least change the name and icon even on gingerbread.
I installed the Ops apk and it's definitely the new icon and branding, however, it FCs nonstop ever since tried buying an app.

When I did the 'delete data' thing, my Market app/icon completely disappeared and I got the new "Play Store" app/icon automatically...so that method DOES work for some,(just fyi)
So this market basically broke the $hit out of my market. I installed this version, it worked fine til I bought an app in the store. Ever since then it just FCs immediately. It never intsalled the app, apps installed from the web market do nto install. I uninstalled/deleted the 3.4.6 version and reinstalled the 3.4.4 version and it is still force closing as well. any ideas?
I'm not too worried, I have tomorrow off and this will give me motivation to try the ICS leaks, I'm still on caulkalins last GB rom.
