Music Beta in Canada? - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey fellow rooters and hackers...
Is there a way that I can use Google music in Canada? ....I got the new music app from the internet (it was not on the market) but I can't sign in....pretty lame for Google doing that....is there any work arounds?

Right now, the music beta is by invite only. You can go to the website http://music.google.com to sign up, but if you are out of the US, they just display a message that it is only available in the US. You can get around that by using a proxy like http://hidemyass.com to sign up, but if/when you get the actual invite, I don't know if it will still work.
I am still waiting for my invite to come through to test this from Germany.

Heh, listen, I don't like it either, but Google does it's testing under the conditions they set, which is often keeping it just in the US. With music laws, and data usage being so different, it's hard to blame them.
That being said, if you get an invite then yes it will work in Canada.

As brettbellaire mentioned, due to licensing terms, google has to limit it to the US right now. I am hoping it eventually gets lifted, but being in Germany, I am really used to country restrictions (even if I hate them). But as long as they have the US market, I doubt it will "fail" based on country restrictions alone. It will depend on their execution of the app and the storage and the eventual prices once it leaves beta status.

It works if you use a proxy to hide your ip. I did that and asked for an invite on the first day. Just recently got it. Have uploaded music, live in canada and works on my phone too. Just like Shivammcool said.

I can confirm it works in canada but I requested my invite through a US proxy at work...also to get it working on my nexus s and xoom I hadto install version 3.0.336 which allowed me to link my devices to my account and then I could install thev latest music apk...I dont know why but the latest version of the music app wouldntlet me register my device...

One more confirmation from a canadian user!
Works like a charm Nexus One and Nexus S

I just used hidemyass to request an invitation to the beta invite, it went through but I shall see if I recieve one. By the way I live in Australia.

I just received my music beta invite today I haven't had a chance to sign into it on my phone to try it out yet but I can confirm it is working well in my browser Again I'm in Australia and I'm excited to get the invite.

Successful account creation, no Google Music App for phone
Hey folks. I got around the US-Only bit by proxying my way to the site. No problems there, and I could download the manager and upload my songs.
The problem is that I can't get the app for my phone. It identifies my phone as Rogers, and states it can't be installed.
Anyone know of a workaround for this?

You need to be rooted, and you use an app called "MarketEnabler" to make your phone appear as if it is on a US carrier, and then you can access all the US only apps. (you can also make your phone appear to come from other places and access those apps too, although there aren't many).

Anything....Google ebookstore came out in Canada.....where is music?

T-Mobile "My Account" application

There is an app called "My Account" in the market by T-Mobile that allows you to view account data such as minutes used/available, billing balance etc.
The app is free and to me its helpful. Just thought I'd share...
yea
i LOVED it when i put it on my phone. No matter what company you go through, the webpage, billing, minutes of use, txt usage, is horrible. This app made it VERY easy to read, use, and even pay a bill (IT EVEN TELLS YOU THE BATTERY LIFE, CONDITION etc, also has payment history that isnt tied to that programs usage to pay bills, all your payments are shown)

I had to re-read what he wrote as well, but he meant that every other tools a company used to provide account information had been horrible, and this app is the exception.
I absolutely love it.
That's amazing! I'm hoping it's from Tmobile so personal info isn't stolen, but considering it finds the info without me logging in, it MUST have access to tmobile's servers.

Yeah, it's official from T-Mobile. They announced it first in their official forums, so no worries!
They seem like they took all precautions by not allowing wifi enable checking.
Sugar!!!!!
Thanks, this is great! Beats using the browser to get to my acocunt info
Good o'l Tmobile. Finally an application I can recommend to customers. It also has some really neat steps for Trouble Shooting that may answer some questions without having to call in if you're having problems. So check it.

Can't find this on the UK market, can somebody upload the apk for me?
Please
Does any one have the 1.0 version of this app. I downloaded the 1.1 update and now i can not use this app because it only requires 3g and edge. I only have wifi but they took that off for secority reasons. if you have 1.0 please back it up and upload. thanks
My Account 1.0.0
Can Someone upload the newest version ?
I just tested this with my G1 on Tmo in the UK and it doesn't work properly. It shows someone's account details, but they are not mine. I'm not greatly surprised it didn't work or I would have expected to see it on the Market in the UK. I am surprised that it shows someone's details though rather than an error!
Aleks
lolz i have the same, it's not my account info what the application shows.

GV invitation anyone?

So, I've been waiting for months and months, and really would love to use the Google Voice thing on my G1. Never used Grand Central.
The Google people seem way too slow and love to tease
Anyone can help? I'd appreciate very much..
TIA...
As of right now, I've not seen an option to invite folks. I got mine a few days ago via signing up on the Google Voice site. It'd been about a month or two since I had last signed up to test it. I've had numerous folks asking me for an invite, but unlike Gmail, I've not seen an invite feature. Guess you just have to be patient until Google picks you.
I'm a GC/GV beta tester, and one of the option's it shows in the control panel is Tell A Friend. I've never used it, and it's not very descript at all. I don't know if this feature will get you an immediate acct or just have you sign up to be notified whenever it does go out beta. I'll be glad to give it a try if want. Shoot me a private message msg here on XDA with your email address. It's worth a shot I guess.
where are you seeing that?
Been a GC/GV bet bunny since GC popped into existence. Never seen that option to "tell a friend". Maybe I don't really have any friends? Or maybe its new? where are you seeing that, under Settings?
I was one of the first to sign up and I got mine a couple weeks ago, it doesn't appear that I have any invites to share but here is the link from Google.

Yes I did... At least 2 different @gmail addresses... But 4-5 months is a bit long time and kind of frustrating... Esp. it could be very useful for my line of work (if the features they promise are true) plus would make my G1 phone more of what it should be...
I just got mine after 2 weeks

I'm in VoIP / 3G / satellite business and yes it's kind of a drug I guess. Especially I am addicted to my G1. I'll seek professional help, I swear.
I just got my invite on Thursday, applied back in March with a gmail address. I have been using PF Visual Voicemail and it's been great, but the Google service is clearly better for those us running most of our email/phone/messaging lives via Google. Hope you get your invite soon, it's definitely a winner!
Anyone know if a Google branded app will be released soon? The GV app is good, but I'd love to have another option as well.

I doubt you'll see Android integration anytime soon. What's bad about the GV app by Evan? It's pretty damn near perfect IMO.

A quick update:
So, this morning I finally received the official Google Voice invite from Google.
Now, imagine my absolute joy and relief, that after waiting for it since March (!) I click on the link in that email only to see
"Google Voice is not available in your country.
Thanks for visiting Google Voice. We're not yet open for users outside the US, but are planning to expand our service to additional countries in the future. "

Last.fm 1.6.6

Since a lot of people come here looking for the latest last.fm APK, I've decided to keep it up to date on the first post.
Please note, that Last.fm service is not free any more outside US, UK, and Germany.
For full changelog, see the following page http://bit.ly/lastfm-android
You can find older versions as well as patched version (to run outside US, UK, and Germany) of the app here http://www.csmarshal.com/android/ (provided by midafaya).
Thanks for the heads up, sounds great. Congrats on 400 posts

Thanks! What a weird day, I've hit 600 in CMS Made Simple forums today and just like here, I didn't notice it
Can someone please attach the APK? Thanks!
Up for the APK... can't find in market...
Here you go...
edit
too late............
Looks like last.fm blocks traffic from norway or something. Got the comminication error in the previous version and was hoping that 1.1 would solve the problem, it did not .
Anyways, thanks a bunch for providing the APK
I think they've made it paid for everyone outside UK or something.

Nope. Due to licensing issues it isn't available outside of a very select list of countries. These include, the US, UK, Germany, and several others that I don't remember

Yes, and all the rest can pay money and get the service. Not sure if the enables the app though.
Could someone attach the new 1.1.1 update apk? I can't get 1.1 to scrobble on the Hero.

It can be coincidence, but my app started working after i paid for a subscription at last.fm. I did not however try to stream music before i paid. Foolish i have to admit
i died try, didnt work before, worked after, might even upgrade my 3g speed cuz of this ^^
I think they should at least publish the apk file on their homepage for paying customers even though outside the countries listed before.
Thanx for posting the apk file!
Cheers, Håkan
I agree with you, but I think that's what XDA is great for
Hello, Do I need a last.fm suscription? I have a normal last.fm user and I get server error connection.
Thanks.

All you should need is a user account. Their servers might be down.
There's actually a newer version now, but that's besides the point.
Last.fm is only free in the UK (and also Germany, I think). I see you're from the states, so it won't work. And I'm not even sure if it will work on Android phone if you get a subscription.

Line2

I am using the new Android version of Line2, the VoIP product for making calls over a Wifi connection from Toktumi. It was released yesterday. I have Attn1's Froyo 2.2 FR008 with a rooted Aria.
The Aria is not specifically supported. However, the sound is good on my end but some people I called noted static.
Once the program is started, it runs in the background and you cannot "exit" the application short of force closing it. (The "menu" button which in many apps points to an "exit" function, does not provide one). Not a big deal.
If you have WiFI access and need to cut back on your phone minutes, it might be worth trying for about $10 a month.
Can you please upload the apk!
Thanks in advance!!!

The Line2 app is available in the Android Market: search for "Line2" or available to download here: http://www.line2.com/download_android.html
Thanks!
Thanks for starting this thread! I'm the developer of the Line2 for Android and would love to hear feedback good or bad.
As for which phones are supported, we were very conservative with our list to include phones we've tested heavily. We have other phones that work well but haven't received the amount of testing we like.
One particular reason we're hesitant to just certify all phones is that we have found some hardware related issues on some devices such as the Evo.

I got a Pixel Qi 3G Adam tablet from Notion Ink a few weeks back and am unable to get Line2 to work over the 3G connection. It appears that 3G VoIP options are disabled by default and the Dialing tab appears to be missing. Wi-Fi calling works, and I can sign into my account over 3G, but I can not make or receive 3G calls. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
I am using a G2 on T-Mobile and have experienced the exact same issue... no 3G/Cellular calling. I too am missing the Dialing tab in the settings so there is no way to tell Line2 to make or receive call. I have been around and around with Customer care but to no avail.

[Request]Copilot

Okay so here is story, I bought copilot live usa for android a while back with email account1.
Now i dont use it and use email account2 instead. Where can I download clean apk for copilot and use my google ordernumber that i have?
This http://www.alk.eu.com/copilotlive/androidinstall/ takes some hunting... Hopefully you still have your account number and keys. No idea how to do this within the marketplace mind you (email address 1 / email address 2

A big thanx for this, worked just fine moving from HD2 embeded CoPilot live 8 to Android! Even kept all my settings, including destinations as I was hoping since I use the same memory card!
Only thing to keep in mind is to deactivate your license on your "old" device first. Can also be done online at activate.alk.com. Sorry for the missing link, I'm not allowed to post links since I'm quite new here at xda.
@tomj777
thanks, i was looking for this aswell.
Very pleased to have helped. It's worth revisiting the link to see if there is a new version, as us ex-wm users do not benefit from the market notifications.
