HTC Droid Eris :: Android Market Featured List

Mar 28, 2010

I hate to compare it to apple, but let's face it, that's all it will ever be compared to.I have an itouch that I used religiously before I got my Eris a while back and as most of you probably know, the apple app store can keep you busy for hours. Every day there are new apps, but most importantly there are always a new list of their featured apps.My question is why for the last few months have we been starring at the same featured apps from android? These include Reality browser, personal assistant, hoccer, google goggles, wordpress, cnet scan and shop, ustream, usaa mobile, zagat, car locator, movies, handcent sms.I could be totally wrong, but it just feels like I've seen these apps all to many times. Is it my phone? Also I wish there was a way to view top-downloaded apps for the day or week.I feel like any new android apps don't have the ability to reach popularity because there is not system for most popular downloads. When you sort through, they're all the same...facebook, myspace, backgrounds, yellow pages etc. etc. etc.

Android :: Market Listing My App As Exactly Twice Size Of APK I Uploaded / Why Is So?

Feb 26, 2009

For Wuzzle, the signed trial APK is 878KB and the signed full game APK is 934KB. I do have copy protection turned on for both and it did say it would increase the space needed. I figured that meant it would add an extra 10KB or something reasonable. They are listed on the market as being 1.71MB and 1.82MB respectively. I didn't think it would literally double the app size!

My other game, Light Racer has a signed APK of 288KB and is posted with no copy protection. It is listed on the market as 289KB, which is correct.

Has anyone else noticed this?

Android :: New Application Listing Order In Market Search

Sep 24, 2010

Before today, when entering a search term into the Market app, the results at the top of the search would all be exact matches of that search term against the app name. For example, type "translate" and the user will see all the apps called "translate" before the "Google Translate" result (which is by far the most downloaded translate app). Now, this no longer happens. If you type "translate" the first result is "Google Translate" (and no preference is given to exact matches).

Note: posted on this forum partly because hardly anyone reads Android Discuss, and partly because developers need to know how their apps are being prioritized in app search results).

Android : Change One's App Listing On Http://market.droid.com?

Nov 20, 2009

Does anyone know how to change one's app listing on http://market.android.com?

We've updated our Android Market listing via http://market.android.com/publish several times over the last 13 months, putting new screenshots up on multiple occasions and switching categories a long time ago.

Yet the listing at http://market.android.com/free.html#[AppName] is still the same as it was over a year ago when it launched; very old screenshots and the outdated category...

Android :: List Of Google Apps In Market

Oct 6, 2010

1st post, I picked up my EVO on Monday after having 3 different models of the iPhone since 2007. I am really loving android and how versatile it is. One thing I can't seem to find so far is a list of everything Google offers in the Market - apps, widgets, etc. Searching "Google, Inc." in the Market will bring a lot of non Google apps in between and it doesn't seem to load Google's apps first. Is their a website that has a definitive list of Google, Inc.'s offerings in the Market?

Android :: Getting List Of Market-downloaded Apps

Feb 3, 2010

Does anyone know if there's a way to retrieve a list of apps currently installed on the phone?Perhaps through an Android service, or system content provider?And once this list is retrieved, is there a way to filter down the list to only apps that have been downloaded via the market? I suppose another way to phrase that last question is:Can my app access the Downloads list that's in the Android Market app?

Android :: How To Become A Featured App In Android Market?

May 31, 2010

Can you provide with good tips on how to become a featured app in the market? my guess is (besides the obvious "have tons of unique downloads")

1. Make use of as much as android-only features (multi-tasking, live folders, widgets, QSB, etc).

2. Keep the active user percentage high.

Android :: App To Backup A Listing Of All Apps , Bookmarks And Widgets On Phone?

Dec 22, 2009

Is there an app to backup and export a listing of all the apps, bookmarks, and widgets currently on your phone? I see many apps that will search though all the current installed apps, for sorting, or organizing, but then it would be good to export this list to e-mail or Google Docs, etc.

HTC Incredible :: How Does Market Store List Of Apps On Phone?

Oct 1, 2010

Basically when i install a new rom, the market has now lost the free apps because thats what it does. the market must have some sort of file it maintains locally with the list of apps, and whether or not they are set to auto-update. where is this list so i can just paste it into my new rom, and market will automatically get all the apps and maintain the auto update settings.(also i know and use titanium backup so dont reply with 'use titanium', i just want to do what im looking for so the market always gets the latest version on a rom redo and also keeps holding the auto-update status.)

General :: Disconnecting Apps From Android Market - Deleting Market Link?

Apr 7, 2011

I have an app that was installed via Android Market. And so, the Android Market knows when new versions are out and notifies me of an update. Titanium Backup calls this the 'Market Link', not sure what else it could be called.

how would I go about 'disconnecting' the app from the Market? Deleting the market link as if it were side-loaded?

Yes, I know this means no more updates for the app etc. Which is actually what I'm after.

I'm using a SGS - DocRom V9.6 with Speedmod Kernel k13a

Android :: Getting My App In Featured Section

Jun 12, 2009

I have an app which I think could be in the featured section of the Android Market and was wondering the best way to proceed. The application is Scan2PDF Mobile which uses your phone's camera to "scan" documents and make PDF files which can be saved or emailed from the phone. The pages are enhanced and compressed and then made into a multi-page PDF. Think of it as having a scanner, photocopier and fax machine in your pocket/Sicen Scan2PDF Mobile has been on the Adroid market it is proving very popular, getting an average rating of 4.7. It is unlike any other app on the market and in our opinion would be a good candidate for the featured list - so how do we go about it?

Android :: What Is Best Full-featured Weather App?

Jul 20, 2010

I live in the Kansas City suburbs where we get lots of forms of severe weather.Tornados, blizzards, hail, winds, floods, you name it.Mother Nature REALLY hates us.I just switched to Android & I'm wondering what you all use for your weather apps.So far I've tried WeatherBug & I'm currently using the Weather Channel app. I'm wondering if there's anything better.I may go back & upgrade to WeatherBug elite.I had that on my Blackberry & liked that alright, even though I eventually switched to Berry Weather.Basically, I need something w/ up-to-the-minute severe weather alerts, detailed radar, extended forecasts, & the ability to add multiple locations. The inclusion of NOAA weather radio would also rock.

Android :: Market Ranks Apps In The Market

Oct 6, 2010

I know my question answers but since there's a lot of you who really spend your time scrutinizing your rank, downloads and all, I'm trying it maybe someone came up with empiric science on this one :

Does anyone understood even bits of how the market ranks apps in the market ?

I usually don't look at stats but following another post on this topic, I counted my rank in my category ... 565 ... Ouch that hurts! Especially when half the apps in front of mine, are crap apps with less downloads and ratings as low as 1 star :).

Not that it would make a difference being rank 250 instead of 565...But this is humiliating a little :s

Since my app has been on the market for one month, i'm wondering if age matters ...

I know I should have asked in the market "black hole of hell " google group but the name says it all. And I'm sure some of you already figured out some of the black magic used by the Market to rank apps.

Android :: Full Featured Calendar / Reminder / Organizer / Whatever App

Jan 17, 2010

I've recently got my hands on HTC Hero which happens to be my first smart phone ever (I was using the ancient Siemens M65 for a long time before that).And I'm currently trying to find a way to at least replicate (I'm not hoping for improving anymore) the organizer functionality I had on my Siemens M65.I've tried Googling, I've downloaded lots of various suggested apps, but I'm still coming up short.So I'll try listing things that I'd *really* like to have in an organizer app and perhaps someone could point me in the right direction.Of note is that I use organizer simply as a reminder engine. I don't plan my days on it, so I could care less for 'event duration', 'finding free time', and such functionality. I just want to have good reminder functionality.Features I'm looking for:

* Selectable snooze period when reminder goes off -- e.g. on my old Siemens I could choose between 5/15/60 minutes and 1 day. This seems to be sorely lacking in most (all?) applications I've checked.

* Easily selectable reminder date & time. Lots of applications seem to use that date/time picker that only has + and - buttons for choosing month/date/hour/minute -- this seems to border on unusable for me. Although if application is otherwise perfect, I can overlook that

* Notification (via widget or notification area or some such) when I have upcoming reminders today (or maybe today and tomorrow similar to HTC's small calendar widget). Smooth Calendar seems to be a good choice for standard Calendar app, but Calendar app itself is not ideal

* List of all reminders I have scheduled. This is something that seems to be absent from default Calendar app.

* Notification about reminders I've missed. Very desirable something that can be seen without waking up a phone (I think it is not impossible for application to blink one of the LEDs in case there's missed reminder). Definitely something that can be seem on home screen. I didn't test default Calendar app extensively in this respect, but it seems to do not display anything at all if you have missed reminder (although it seems to repeat the alarm after 5 minutes or so).

* Repeatable reminders would be nice to have, but it is probably least important item for me.

Android :: Contacts Blast New Full Featured Contact Manager / Dialer

Mar 18, 2009

I've been a member of Android Forums for awhile now although I haven't posted much recently. This is Matt from Droidmatic a small startup of a few guys that want to make great Android apps. We recently released our first app, Contacts Blast, which can act as a full feature replacement for the built in contacts manager / dialer. We even integrate with the "dial" button from the home screen and can easily be turned into the default app.I wanted to share our feature list with everyone as well as some screenshots. Nearly every change since the 1.0 release (we are at version 1.4 right now) has been inspired by the feedback we are receiving from our users.

Android :: Market Fail To List All Permissions Granted To Applications

Oct 7, 2010

When installing applications from android market some permissions are not listed to the user, but are granted to the application upon installation, including the notorious "Phone calls" permission. When installing locally through "Package installer" the full set of permissions is listed. That behavior may be observed with many applications one of which is 'net.jimblackler.newswidget' (no offense Jim - I hope it's true there's no bad publicity).

This bug was reported as issue #9365 [0] back in Jun 27, 2010 but has gone so far unnoticed, perhaps because android market is not part of AOSP, which is why I post here. I consider this a serious problem as it is misleading for users and reflects badly on application developers and the whole android echo system. Hopefully this will get the needed attention and treatment, especially after all the recent noise around applications security and privacy breaches.
