It seems that the hidden files app will not download for me. I have already purchased and cannot get it installed. It seems it is hit or miss on cupcake. Anyone else have this problem?

The app is from the market an it is called HideNseek...developer is Andrew Schwimmer. It is a $1.00 purchase. It shows purchased on My Downloads, but when I try to install, it goes to authorizing credit card>downloading>Download Unsuccesful. It doesn't give me the option to refund, and there is not transaction on my credit card either.

I don't think you're talking about turning off and on the phone.
What is the procedure again, and what do I lose in a reboot.

justjimjpc

Ok It downloaded but did not install the first time ... so i did a second run of installing ... and it was ok ...

Run the app is a bit quirky in that it pops up a white flash-lite ... found that two presses of the menu-key would get you to the Password prompt ... after which i just touched a couple of files in my /sdcard directoy ... they sorta grey/blue out ... use Menu and exit .... Then I used Terminal with Super-user and looked and the files did not showup when doing a ls command ..
Go back into the app untag them and repeat looking for them with Terminal and they appear .... I have not tried an entire Directory ...

just remember when starting the app you will get a white-flashlite screen double-click menu to get to the password prompt ...


I also have all my Apps running from the SDCard ...

let me know if this helps...

abgarza

I can't even get the damn thing to install. I have rebooted and everything. Is there any way to clear the download from the My Download page of the market. I would like to give it a shot with a brand new install.

Oh yeah...running from SD card as well.

I think you can uninstall it ...

Then try a Safe Boot ...
1.) Turn phone off ... remove battery .. WAIT for at least two minutes.
2.) Power On Phone while Holding MENU key ... Until ALL actions finish from Powering on phone ...
....... At the bottom left corner of the display in transparent text will be the words "Safe Mode"
3.) Power off phone again ... battery out ... wait two minutes
4.) do a normal power on ...

Then try a re-install of the app

abgarza

Have not been able to remove from "My Downloads". I checked in my settings>app manager, and I can not identify the app to remove. Since the download failed, I don;t know if it would even show up here...ARGH!!!!

Try going to the search and pull the app again ...
search on hidenseek ... it should show up with status of $0.99 , Installed, Purchased.????

abgarza

Purchased

justjimjpc

What happens when you reclick on that listing ... ??

abgarza

Install page.

justjimjpc

Try that ...

Also try an App called AppManager ... you may be able to see it there and uninstall then go back to Market and retry the DownLoad and install again ...

Mine is still in the Uninstall ReFund mode or i would give that a try ...

BTW: It shows as a Protected App so it can cause difficulty by various apps trying to manage it ...

dl'ing

abgarza

Installed App manager, but could not find Hidden File App. It's not there.

justjimjpc

Did you not try the Install of HideNSeek from the Search ... you said it displayed Install page ???

Or try the Barcode scanner on the barcode below to take you directly to the Market for the app.

I tried to install, but it always comes back "Download unsuccesful".

justjimjpc

Mine did that the first time too, I just clear notifications and did it again ... the second time was the charm for me ...

abgarza

Maybe the 37th time will be the charm for me...

justjimjpc

Have you used Terminal before ,,, and SU ?

abgarza

nope...

abgarza

Ummm...I think when I rooted.

justjimjpc

Well great caution is required ... because this is where the danger of have root can be felt !! deleting the wrong thing can be a real messy business..

If you want to see if the app is even on you machine ,,,,

Download Terminal or if you look in your AppTray you may already have it from Rooting ..

Then let me know ...

abgarza

I have terminal emulater and superuser...this is getting exciting!

justjimjpc

Click on the app Terminal
you should get a prompt
$
then type SU and press enterkey
you should now get a new prompt
# <<<this means that SU is running
then at the # prompt type the following :
# cd /data/app-private <<< return key
then ...

# LS <<< Use lower-case I use CAps to show it was L and not 1 return key
the protected apps in that directory will be listed ...

the one you are looking for is
com.schwimmer.android.hidenseek.apk

Once you have done that ... then post back your findings ...

TO EXIT :: just hit the Back-Key on the phone next to the power-key

abgarza

OK...com.schwimmer.android.hidenseek.apk is not there.

justjimjpc

Ok then I suggest you contact the Developer and explain that there was a glich in the d/l process and he should give you a link for reload ... and ...then let us know the status of that ...

abgarza

Thank you for all your help. I will do as you suggest and updte you as I get info.

abgarza

I feel like an idiot. Sorry for all the hassles. I cancelled my original Market credit card because of a unauthorized charge. In purchasing Nesoid, I found that the last card I put in said {invalid}. I added a new card for market purchases(AmEx), and first hide&seek downloaded, and then Nesoid.

Thanks for all the time and effort to help. Now we know another way to screw up a purchase...

justjimjpc

Nesoid has been a bane to posters here .... it should have a forum all its own for crazy gamers ...

wynney666

but when i got to run
i always get this

HideNSeek
