Marketplace

I don't get it.
If I use the Android XDA app, the Marketplace is visible in General. Using a real browser however, it's not. A quick search for a link into the Marketplace rears a permissions error. And all of this without being registered. So what gives? Something I'm missing here?

Oh, so it's now visible. After glancing through the rules/disclaimer it appears it'll become accessible after 8 posts for a noobjuice member. Clever.

You need more posts and/or a longer membership (I can't recall the details).
Guess the Tapatalk app needs fixing .

It's not the app...we've changed the permission on the Marketplace to not allow access to a user until he/she has made 8 posts. That 8 post level is also the same point at which you can post links. It's just an anti-spam measure. We found people were registering at XDA just to spam the site or the Marketplace. This helps.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

This is good to know. Long time lurker and finally signed up so I could post in the marketplace but alas!

Can someone link to the rules for gaining access to the Marketplace? I have 8 posts but still cannot see it. Tried logging out and back in but still nothing

For a while there I thought I needed to check my eye sight. Makes sense now.

Hard to achieve 8 post if you have nothing to say or to discuss or if everything is so well explained that you do not need answers
Maybe you could add a waiting time also. Lets say after 4 weeks you get to see the market, I highly doubt anyone would wait 4 weeks just to spam something.

It doesn't make sense that you can view the Marketplace before you sign up (and then have it dissapear after you are a member).

oh!! so thats why i couldnt c the marketplace

I am new here. it seem that this is an useful forum.

welcome to forums
Once you become an active/regula user all XDA features will be unlocked and you will be able to post in marketplace, this rule is to protect us from spammers/scammers

Ah I was wondering why I wasn't able to see that deal I saw anymore... guess I'm off to ask more questions.

I have been on the site reading for 6 months now trying not to poste but now i need to use the market so here is my 8th poste thanks.

Lol. Non-members can't see the marketplace anymore.
Trust me to say too much

As I said before:
Once you become regular/active members will see the benefit of having this
Meantime post and you´ll finally get access

Nice
Really smart security measure! I like it.

[Q] Must have apps

I have checked and havent found something like this yet so if it is out there I'm sorry.
My question is what are some of the apps you have found since rooting your evo that are "Must Have" apps.
Like I know about wireless tether but what else.
I know I could just go to market place and look for apps but that really doenst tell me if they are any good, And I'm sure people here have found apps that they just can live without.
So what have you found that is Must haves? Utilities, social, media, games. anything you consider must have?
Thanx
P.S. I think this is an approriate place to post this but if not could one of the ops move it to the appropriate place, thanx

Nothing? Really?

Check out the link in my sig. The OP has a decent list of apps that I use regularly and other people have posted their lists too.

I forget the name of the app since I have flashed many ROM's since I last used it, but the one "must have" app is the one that pulls in over-the-air local hd tv. It put Sprint TV to shame. Anyone remember what it is called?

Would love to know.

mikfroyo evo!

Once you're rooted, do the following mod @ forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=879996 and then you can stream XViD/DiVX movies over the network... that's my favorite.
Dropbox can be run without root, but that is my other must have app...

Search.
This has been asked and answered many times. There area few good threads listing must have apps. I'm on my phone so can't link

Lockscreen controls work on OMFGB for me. Haven't tried it on a Sense ROM.
Great app, been uploading songs since Tuesday I think. I have maybe 10% of my collection uploaded. Taking a very long time, but getting there. I got my invite on the 24th, only a few days after requesting it. Guess I was lucky.

I requested mine on day one and nothing yet. Typical Google as it took forever to get my invite to Voice too, like 6 months. Don't think this will beat Amazon Cloud Service which I've had for a couple months now. Took about 4 days to load 40 Mb (20 free 20 more for buying an album for $4.99) to that. The music on Amazon Cloud is physically stored there too which is nice.

I got my invite on the 26th requested it on day one. I don't have any lockscreen controls, but I believe thats cause I have a password, and when I wake the screen, it just goes to the password screen. I wish there was a way to enable lockscreen + password like on Sense ROMs.

Wow what an A-Hole sorry didn't know that you owned this site and set all the rules next time maybe we all shouldn't respond to any of your posts.
And by the way the original topic was [Q][APP] Google Music 3.0.1 APK, which is wide open for discussion on anything related to the music app, you set the topic so don't get pissed when people don't respond to your exact question. Maybe you should learn how to properly set a topic first then ***** later.

Actually, that was the Headline, the Topic was referred in the post, it blatantly asked about lockscreen controls not who was invited to the Google Cloud/Music Beta. There are dozens of posts that ARE about that, It's kinda hilarious how you tell me not to get pissed when you are the one who is raging in my post and you are doing it ironically due to the fact that topic WAS NOT about anything but the lockscreen. Thanks, you amused me

I love how you lack of intelligent retorts leaves you with the low quality unoriginal ad-hominem response tactics. I apologize you were so angry about my comment that you could not think hard enough to come up with something creative

Admins, before I get slammed, I would just like to point out that My last 2 responses were brought on because of angry individuals attacking me over the fact that I did not appreciate my thread being hijacked and thrown off subject when all I asked was if the lockscreen controls worked. My bad lol.

The search function sucks..

Am I the only one that thinks so? I see all these threads being quickly responded to saying "use the search before posting, thread closed, etc.. ". Well if search worked halfway decent on this site these threads would be unnecessary. I'm sure a good percentage are noobs being lazy, but for those of us actually looking for legit info, well, good luck. Maybe it's just xda's mobile app search function. I have not used the websites search on the full site to compare. Again, is it just me? Somebody help me out here..
Example: there is a thread asking for the .Apk file for teeter. A mod jumped in saying use the search, and locked the thread. I'm interested in this game aswell, so I used the search. And nothing..
What am I missing?
Sent @ 04:20

Just did a search for teeter apk and recieved loads of results, many of which detail where to get it from and how to install it
Even starting a new thread with teeter apk in it's title brings up a list of similar threads.

Something is deft wrong then. Just did the same search (teeter. Apk) and got nothing but random threads that are fiftyleven pages long. Guess u just need patience and free time to find what you need.. Oh well

A tedious search is worth not getting flamed for not lol
Sent from my Moto Atrix using XDA Premium App

You just have to know how to use it. Kind of like Google search. Know what you want or need and be able to use terms or phrases to get you results. I joined xda last year and since then I haven't had any problems with the search feature. I either find the solution using search or figure it out on my own. I really don't understand how people mess up some times. Usually devs explain things really well, to the point where they are holding your hand. I love xda and couldn't imagine an android experience w/o it. Thanks xda!

i'm a new member n just flashed my phone with a custom rom. now my phone has incoming call delay where the phone only starts ringing after 2-3 times ring tones at the other side. n since i'm a new member, i cant post to development thread. i need to have posted at least 8-10 posts to other general threads only i can post to that thread. i thought i can faster post 8-10 posts so i can ask for help but there is a 5 min delays between post for new member.
i tried the search function, many results returned but i cant find a solution n i urgently need to ask for solution in the proper thread. but this is only my 3rd or 4th post.
i'm sorry if i complained.

kinda frustrated to that i have to randomly post to get off the 10 posts limit...
or is there any better way?

@ACis0014.. it's nothing at all like google search... Not even remotely similar. With google, you type your query and you have answers damn near immediately. Here, it looks as though it brings up threads that your search query might be mentioned in and I guess it's up to us to flip thru all the hundreds of pages and posts to find out if it's even the answer we're looking for.
And yes, god forbid we need help right away with an issue and post a question about it. Oh man, it's like burning their flag or something. It is what it is tho I guess. One of those things where you either deal with it, or move on..
Sent @ 04:20

I mean I am not here to convince you, that's not my job. You can believe whatever you want. But as I mentioned before I have never had a problem. It's also a matter of working to find your answering. do you expect everything to be handed to you? Rooting and modifying your phone takes work and patience apparently you don't have either one or just aren't trying. If you can't "deal" with the search than stay with stock or visit another website. Personally I don't ask for help until I have exhausted all other options. There's also a sense of pride in rooting and modifying knowing you did something by yourself without really having much experience beforehand. The devs and members here are wonderful who work their asses off for themselves and are courteous enough to share their work without really asking for money. At the most they ask for users to press a damn "thank you" button. Whoop di do! The only real complaint I have about xda is that some members post these stupid, immature comments or act like total douchbags or some think they are the damn xda police who are here to shape everybody up. Thank god my fellow mytouch 4g users are pretty good for the most part!

Don't use . in the search, only use keywords, so: teeter apk
If you do get stuck with no results that give you the answer, then if one of the results is similar then try posting in there to bump it back to the top.
It's also a good idea (tends to quieten down the "Search n00b!" bunch) to start the post with "I did try to search but came up with nothing useful, so if someone can just direct me to a thread they know about that'd be much appreciated, anyway, my problem is..."

Well, dunno what is up with the search here. I am pretty sure the stock vBulleting search has options to use logical operators such as AND/OR in search terms (even accessible via checkboxes).
Why is it disabled here?

Thanks for the tip.. I usually just google my question and add xda in the query and it usually will give me a list of specific posts and threads containing what I'm looking for.. example: (teeter apk xda) i find this much easier and faster than the forum search..
And also.. Yes, I would like things "just handed to me" when I have a question or problem.. That's what the Internet is for!!! In fact, I think the word Internet is Latin for instant gratification. Or something.. Just sayin..

Suggesting something here apparently appears about as productive as screaming out for help in the middle of a deep forest. Maybe this sucky crippled search is a "feature", exactly as the crippled "report post" functionality.
Silently ignoring user feedback about apparently broken functionality is really NOT appreciated. The issue will not disappear if you ignore it.

The truly annoying thing about search on this site is half of the time when you want to use it, it is either temporarily disabled or otherwise not working.

I made a short "usability" analysis of the search feature here. Well guys, this way, you would not succeed even 10 years ago, when Google was just starting. Uh.
See below:

I gave up using the search function on the site and in the worst case scenario i search the forum manually (or use google directly)

The search function works fine for me. If you dont know how to use it optimally, thats not the same thing as it sucking

Mind your language here peeps..... Play nice!

If an app has permission changes you must manual update. Some people wouldn't check to update maps, like me, unless a post like this, so for someone it was actually helpful. This is why i'm kind of leary on coming back to xda, they might ban me for nothing again, or speakin up for myself so let me start off on the right track. leave the guy alone though, it was a good look, at least for me.

and im not noob i flash phones i did 2 more today, i just dont check MAPS one of the preinstalled apps to be updated... i only update like every 4 days or so and then the manuals like every 3 weeks

True. I'm thinking of moving to RootWiki. For the most part most mods are retards who don't read to see who provoked the issue to begin with. They grab the ban hammer and start going crazy while laughing maniacally.

Ok - so here's the deal. After reading through this thread, it's become obvious that a number of things are going on.
1. Forum Rules state search before posting. It is accurate to state that you should be searching the internet as well as XDA to do your due diligence before posting a question.
2. Rule #13 is always going to be a tough one
15. Keep posts/threads on-topic
Whilst a minor amount of off-topic posting may be overlooked, the general rule is your posts / threads must be relevant to the Forum / thread in which you are posting.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
3. There is a fine line between abusive/trolling posts and those that are seeking to be helpful, especially when you can have people who do not have English as their primary language.
So here's the deal. Don't feel like you need to take it upon yourself to be snippy and tell other users what they should do. Sometimes the best response is no response. Also, if you feel there is a post/thread which violates the Forum Rules, then report it and let us Moderators deal with it.
I am closing this thread as it's served it usefulness.
