music downloads - Off-topic

Ok well this is my first post here so right to the point. I have been searching for the best way to dl music directly to my bolt. Thought about rhapsody etc but i am already a subscriber to legalsounds.com. After a few hours of research I found a way to dl tunes right from legalsounds even though they dont offer any support for mobile or android etc. Here's the process if anyone cares. Please note this is using stock browser from VZW t bolt with the
"Download all files" app from the market.
Legalsounds.com > sign in > search for song > check box then " buy selected " > then click my downloads > long press title > open in new window > download should start automatically. Then just refresh you player or library.
Thanks

Sounds like alot of work.

This app does everything yours does but also has a search feature and stores into your native music app.

Thanks. I was hoping for an easier way. First week with an android phone.

Beemp3 app?

Anyone thought of making a beemp3 app for easier music download?
*of course to download songs you already own *
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App
I have the same thought
Yes there should be an app of Beemp3. Cause too many tabs open in beemp3 while downloading a single song
I'd like to have such an app also!
I think you can just go into browser settings and uncheck "Open New Windows in Background" or whatever it's called.

[Q] Broke Browser

OK, I was trying to access videos on SyFy and came across tip to set UAString to "Desktop". I did that, but now when I start the browser I get an error that says "The application Browser (process com.android.browser) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. ........"
Unfortunately the error comes up before the browser opens, so I can't change settings back. Any ideas? A search both XDA and net didn't come up with anything.
Moved to Q&A.
I do not gave a direct answer but you can download a secondary browser from the market. Try dolphin. Atleast you will a browser

Thanks. I'm using Dolphin HD, but I'd like to get phone back. As last resort, will One Click Restore restore the apps too?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Go to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > click Menu and select Filter by All > Scroll down to Browser and click Clear Data
Keep in mind this will return all your settings to default (including uastring) and also delete all your favorites. BUT, your browser will be back working.
THANK YOU!! Worked like a charm.
Now did thst happen BECAUSE I changed the IAString, or just a tandom data corruption? Snyone know?

Beginner questions

Sorry in advance if I'm in the wrong area of our forum, I'm still learning as I go. I got a few questions that I'm sure ill get smashed for asking. Before I close Browser, is there anyway to delete the Download History all at one time (like 1.6 did) instead of long pressing, delete, confirm, each individual download? (While in browser, i'd press Menu then Downloads, then menu again would give the options Clear Downloads, Cancel Downloads. But not anymore, now its only Cancel Downloads. So now i have to delete one by one)
Next question, when using the stock File Browser to move files around, and got like 600-700 files in a folder and wana select a file like "w or z???????123.jpg" or any file towards the bottom of the list, is there any way to scroll up/down faster than sliding my finger 50-60 times to get to it?
Last question, is there any way to use my mp3's as Contact Ringtones like before the update? I can assign any 1 of my mp3's for phone ringtone but I have no option to assign a mp3 to a Contact like before the update. Phone ain't rooted or whatever that is, doesn't have those apps things. Again, sorry if I'm in the wrong area or aint going about this the right way. If I am, point me in the right direction incase I get anymore "beginner" questions.

Instead of being a douche, try bumping your thread every week or so. Might achieve more results...
Q regarding browser: No. You need to clear your cache and history from the settings menu. Dolphin Browser has the option upon exit to clear history/cache.
File browser Q: No again. Download a different file browser that has better scrolling support. I don't know of one personally, so you'll have to research.
I can't figure out how to delete all the bookmarks in the web browser at one time. One by one sometimes takes a while. Any good news for me? Thanks...

[Q] Android Market -> Google Play

Erm... Are we supposed to have Google Play yet? I mean literally everybody I know with an Android device has had their Market auto-updated to Google Play, but not on my tablet... The tablet shows up in the Google Play compatibility list too. Have any of you got the Google Play update? Have I missed something? Or has it just not shown up yet?

Have you tried clearing Market cache and data? If you have the button "Uninstall updates" then click this also. Then open Market, accept the terms and close it again. This should force it to update.

Updating the Android Market Icon to Google Play
20 Mar, 2012
PLEASE NOTE: This News & Alert is specific to our mobile and tablet products with the ANDROID operating system. So the following may not be specific to your product (e.g. Series 7 SLATE PC - XE700T1A operating system is Windows 7).
Instructions for upgrading to the Google Play application (apps, games, movies and books).
1. Select (tap) the 'Android Market' icon.
2. Read the pop-up 'Terms & Conditions' menu notifying the end-user of the upgrade to 'Google Play', and select 'Accept'.
3. At this point the icon should update and say 'Play'.
4. When the 'Google Play' menu appears, select (tap) 'Continue'.
5. There will be a name change at the top of the screen, when inside the market app, but the layout will essentially be the same.
Note
Due to a small data download requirement, this change may take some time depending on the end-user's data connection.
For the fastest update we recommend using HSPA+ or WI-FI.
6. Move back to the home (main or idle) screen, and select (tap) 'Applications'.
Note
a). If the handset is rebooted then the 'Android Market' app icon will have been removed.
After this select (tap) 'Applications'.
Then replace the Android market shortcut with the 'Play Store' icon.
(This can be done by dragging the icon to the home or main screen from the applications menu).
b). If the handset device is not rebooted after updating the play application then the icon will need to be removed manually from the home screen and replaced with the new Play shop icon.
Navigate to the apps and create a new shortcut to 'Play Store' by dragging the icon to the home screen.
Please note
On the Galaxy Nexus devices the homescreen shortcut will automatically be removed.
Therefore the end-user will need to navigate to the apps and create a new shortcut to 'Play Store' by dragging the icon to the home screen.
Important
If after the above procedure is performed, the 'Market' icon is not replaced after some time with the 'Play Shop' icon, then the end-user will need to perform all of the following steps as outlined below.
Move to 'Applications' > 'Settings' > 'Applications' >' Manage applications', and check that either of the icons appear in the list as shown. Then:
• Select 'Applications' > 'Settings' > 'Applications' >' Manage applications', and then select the 'Android Market' icon. Then select (tap) 'Clear data'.
• Select 'Applications' > 'Settings' > 'Applications' >' Manage applications', and then select the 'Android Market' icon. Then select (tap) 'Clear cache'.
• Select 'Applications' > 'Settings' > 'Applications' > 'Manage applications', and then select the 'Android Market' icon. Select (tap) 'Uninstall updates'.

Might uninstall updates and let it update officially to keep it all consistent then...

My tab just updated yesterday to Play as well.
Do things look squeezed in to anyone else? The app tiles in the main part, and my installed apps and information columns don't take up the whole screen. The toolbar at the top and the green stripe do though, so it doesn't seem to be a malfunction.
The tight quarters make things feel squished. Plus, I find it much slower than the Market already.
buggy play store
I was forced to take the upgrade today. Now I can't scroll thru installed apps. I have to update them one at a time even if I don't want them. Am using a rooted i957. Anyone else having this problem? Solutions?

Thanks for the reply. I downloaded "cache clear" and ran it but still no scrolling. I really don't want to keep updating the bloatware but it looks like I'm being forced to. I know people are working on a rom for the i957. Hope they come up with something.
the playstore looks really nice. But i think the old market was a bit quicker.. or not?

[Q] Paid apps on Google Android market

Hi!
Early times, when FroYo was on our devices there was a way to browse your paid apps on your Android Market. Name have change and now this Play market do not support it. Even this very new version, what we got.
Am I so stupid that I cannot find my way to search or browse my already paid apps or how you solve this? There would be a opportunity for 3rd part application for this. And best place to give hint is just here, on XDA Developers forum.
Or just give me a link to this app(s), what you have already found.
Uh, I came fast back to write more info. There seems to huge threads about asking lost or missing paid apps when installed a custom ROM. No no, this is not my problem. I can see my paid apps, but there is no search button or value/ string on the list what Google Android Play market order.
Isnt that just:
Open play store > Press menu button > My apps?
Google Android Play market | search for paid apps?!

In my case it shows just the apps, what I have installed to my phone.
I am looking a way how to search my paid apps on Google Play market. Or an app, what can do the same.
If you mean above PC browser case, then I get huge numbers of apps. First are apps currently installed on my phone. It means the Android OS or firmware version what I am currently using. Below - early firmwares - is the list of all apps what I have tryed, uninstalled etc. and the list is so huge that in my case it could show only start from A to letter E only. So, if my paid app start with letter F - Z, I cannot see anymore it. And browsing between A to E is terrible story too.
If Google Play market have similar value like File Managers have: name, day, type, size etc. it could easy to find your paid apps. Or a search manager or similar.
The Play Market is just crap when it comes to things like this. Several major tech sites have commented upon it, but Google seems to have no intention whatsoever to fix it.

Now, swipe screen left.
In Gmail usually they will send the Google Play receipt #s of all the purchases you made.

I think you do not know what you are about talking. Your guide just show what apps you have installed on your phone: freeware, shareware, n day trial and PAID apps. I am talking PAID apps. And the only place you can find them is here: https://wallet.google.com/manage/#transactions
Try first and reply after if you don't believe me.
