Apps that we can now get (<1.6) / Bugs

[W4LLY]

Share any apps that we could not have before 2.1. Also report any bugs/problems.

Google Goggles - Tried to scan the apple logo on my water bottle, and my laptop...but it came up as null search. Maybe google is sticking it to apple

HootSuite
Twicca - Both are supposed to be really good Twitter apps, but I can't find them on the store. Normally if you can't find an app, it means that it wasn't compatibile.

Look forward to growing and learning with everyone.

I downloaded Google Earth. It installed fine, but when I went to open it, nothing happened. I uninstalled, reinstalled, still nothing. If anyone else tries it, let me know.

I heard it was having problems still. Also: is anyone else having problems with syncing facebook contacts?

Avoid installing Spare Parts. it renders the power button useless to putting the phone into standby.

Had to do a hard reset to fix it.

Twicca is in the market now, saw that they recently updated app, maybe why it was missing from the market last night....just a thought

It worked before, but for those of you looking at twitter clients Touiteur is pretty nice.

I've got no problem with spare parts, I installed it almost imediatly after I updated.

I did however try to make the resourcer killer more aggressive and it seemed to kill sense constantley so I had to set it back to normal

Bank of America- won't load web page within the app (it's basically a wrapper), but will load fine in the browser. Anyone else having troubles with BoA?

There are a couple of apps that are having trouble connecting to the browser. I noticed that Urbanspoon won't let me go to their site from the app, but it will bring up google maps. It must be something to do with the new browser.

I'm having same problems with spare parts. once installed i changed the setting of end button to home then sleep as i had before in 1.5 and the button did nothing so i tried changing setting back, then removing, rebooting and still have a non functioning end button. Phone only goes to sleep after timing out.

Am I already gonna have to reset it?

Epocrates is now available. I was waiting for this. It's still in beta for Android though and I've noticed it freezes sometimes. Can't do anything while in epocrates. By pushing the "home" icon it will allow you to exit but when you open it again, it's still frozen on the same page. Reboot phone, then works fine again(until it freezes). I need this to work. May not be 2.1 issue though, since it's still beta. Just thought I'd share

Had the same happen to me - I ended up re-installing the 2.1 update. A hard reset might have fixed it also, but I wanted to re-install some other programs from the market instead of the way I installed them prior from my SD card.

You could try the hard reset if you haven't done so already.

 

[Eris Lover]

OMG! So i did a hard reset on my phone to try to cure my non working end button and now it's telling me I have to call and activate my phone. Is this normal?

 

[Eris Lover]

nevermind...no big deal just did the ota activation all is good!
