Samsung Captivate :: Non Marketplace Apps
Aug 11, 2010
I know there are threads dealing with app loading on the Captivate, but I am still confused. I read the sideloading sticky, and came out more confused than ever.I am a current Tilt2 (Winmo) user, and am considering buying a Captivate.Are you only able to install apps that you download through Marketplace? If so, is there any simple way to get around that? My boyfriend has a Sprint Samsung moment, and all you have to do is use Astro file manager to install apps which you have saved to your SD card.Is this not true on the Captivate?I definitely would not want to purchase a phone that doesn't allow third party apps.

Anyone try this. Says you don't need root. Search for Galaxy S unlock. Works for Vibrant and Captivate.

Can annyone recommend any good games, possibly free, on the android marketplace?
Also, it'll be nice to try some games using the six-axis motion sensor.

I'm new to Android. I recently was an iPhone fan but thought that Android was a better alternative to iPhone. So anyway, I have a few questions about the Captivate. Does Android have support for apps that you can use to password protect certain apps on the phone? Like messages, and photos for more private stuff. Another question I have: is the Captivates reception really bad? I currently have the iPhone 4 while it doesn't have the best of signal, its not too bad either. And my last question is if the captivate has support for 32gb cards. I'm sorry if someones already gone over these but I could find anything right away. Anyways, I look forward to Android and the Captivate.

I installed some apps hosted on mediafire (Gallery3D, Voice Search, etc). I was following links from a well known page recommending tips and improvements to an HTC Desire. How do you uninstall stuff like that? Normally you have to go via the market, but in this case I can't.Having read the thread on unsafe apps, I'm worried I've got these things from an untrusted source.

There is thousands of missing marketplace apps on the Wildfire marketplace, compared to the marketplace I can see on my HTC Legend. Same country, same carrier.None of my apps are on there either, none of them copy protected, and none of the particularly complicated to tied to a specific screen resolution.

I just got a new Nexus ONe for AT&T and some apps that I believe should be in the Marketplace, specifically Quickoffice, MLB At Bat and ChompSMS, do not appear when I search for them. Does anyone know why this is happening?

Any thought on how the Marketplace handles the information related to the marketplace applications? I wonder if the request is posted to the marketplace every time client is started or if some of the available applications data is stored locally and refreshed by the background service.

I am running a G2 Touch (HTC Hero) on T-Mobile UK with version 1.5 of the OS. I have now found THREE paid applications that are not on the marketplace when I search or when I use barcodes (Twidroid Pro, Record It and Flight Director.I can see other paid apps so it's not that none are available.What can cause these apps to be missing? Who should I be calling, emailing, screaming at?

I was wondering if anyone else had this issue. I had backed up my apps from astro and reinstalled them on my new replacement phone. But my installed apps from astro do not sync. So the free ones I gotten can easily be reinstalled through marketplace but the ones paid I have to rebuy them otherwise I won't be able to update them. Please let me know if this is a common problem or there is something I can do to fix it.

I created a signed apk. I uploaded it to marketplace as usual. I also installed a copy of it on a device directly, perhaps as an email attachment.If I upload an updated version of the app to the marketplace, will the device be notified that a new version of the app exists on marketplace? Or does that update-alert system depend on the app being originally installed through marketplace?

How to view the comprehensive list of apps in the marketplace? Do I need to buy a handset AND the service with it to see the marketplace? I don't want to start developing before I know what the market really looks like. The android.com website offers only a few apps.

Is there a particular flag that we can use to prevent apps showing up in marketplace which require the phone to have a Camera Flash /LED. typical apps are ones which make the phone act like a torchlight in dark , i have seen a tag which prevents apps requiring autofocus in a camera from appearing in the marketplace. Just looking to find out if there is something similar for camera flash.

I did a hard reset and then upgraded my firmware. I then went to re-install all of my previous applications and noticed that some were missing from "My Downloads". I then went and did a search to locate them in the marketplace and got no return, as if the application doesn't exist any more.

I have 2 Captivates on my family plan. I just downloaded(using Appbrain) a bunch of apps to my phone. I want to switch to and use my wife's Captivate which is brand new. How can I get all of my apps onto her phone? If I put my sim card in hers and sync w/ Appbrain will it install all of the apps I have on mine? If I put her sim card in my old Captivate and sync her Appbrain account will that erase my old apps and install hers?

New to the Captivate, and on my second phone (1st one would turn off, so I had it replaced). I downloaded a few apps on my first phone and everything showed up with an icon just like magic. Now I am trying to download a few free games for my kids to play and they will not download. Do I need to change a setting on my phone?

I LOVE this phone, but what is it with these applications starting themsleves in the background? I use the gmail app for my mail, and I am trying to minimize my data usage and everything so I've done the WiFi sleep policy setting, but after I went to bed, I woke up all of these running:
Youtube
Email
Voice
Gmail
Twitter
Gallery
Music Player
Video Player
Granted, I don't think gallery/music/video uses data, but still. It seems weird that they just decide to start up. Is there any way to BLOCK applications from starting up unless I do it myself? Or at least a way to make sure they don't use the data network unless I say? I have ATK, but they still start on their own randomly.
