Favourite app not available? A few ideas to help the community get ahead! :)

There are a lot of negative posts on this forum these days, so I wanted to start a positive one.
The browser on this phone is AMAZING so we should be using that too our advantage.
Missing an app that you love? There are some things you CAN do about it!
1) contact the developers / companies that make the app for other platforms and let them them know you are on BB10 and that you want their app! Tweet, email, Facebook, phone.. whatever ... If they don't know you are interested, they won't get here quickly. so the more the merrier.
I've started a hash tag that I will retweet any time I see it come up: #GetWithBB10. So get on board and let them know.
2) side load the Android version. Lots of notes on this here. Do a search for instructions.
3) don't want to side load? USE the browser! It's awesome!
There are tonnes of mobile sites our there that work very well which will fill the void until the apps arrive or they gain functionality you are missing. Try your favourite domain with touch. or m. in front.
Bookmark them onto your home page and it will be just like an app! Thus the "Make your own"
My favourite examples are as follows.. Please add any you find to this thread!

Can't find an app on Blackberry World yet? Tweet the developer and ask when they will #GetWithBB10 !!
"Like it" if you like it.

You are not talking about BB 10. Because if you would, I would say BS
But BB OS was very harsh for developers. Times are changing.

    From what I can see, unless you're doing things with old versions of Xcode on a Mac (in which case, the solution seems to be to upgrade to the latest version), this seems to e an iTunes issue.
    Accepting that it works fine with another iPad, I suggest trying the following:
    1. Restart the non-working iPad
    2. If that doesn't work, reinstall iTunes. If you're on a Windows PC, I suggest using Control Panel to uninstall all the Apple apps, restarting the PC, and doing a fresh install. If you're using a Mac, a repair permissions might help too.
    iTunes 10.3 is now available, and that may make a difference.

  • Why is the app not available for my device?

    I've no problem using BT wifi on my device (Nook BNTV400) so why is the app not available for that device? It's not like the nook is proprietory, everything else I've tried to find in the play store works fine.
    Is the apk available for download direct from bt?

    if you can connect to btwifi without the app then I wouldn't bother trying to find the apk file
    if you have an android smartphone then you can download the app and get the apk file to sideload on to your nook

    Why is the Fios mobile app not available in the App Store?

    Sorry to say but they have. And even advertised it on their home page as recently as today. You can view about 70 different channels on your iPhone or iPad. Anyone else out there who knows the answer?

  • When trying to back up to a WD My Passport I get a message that says the back up disk is not available.  Any ideas?

    When trying to back up to a WD My Passport I get a message that says the back up disk is not available.  Any ideas?

    Find and run the Disk Utility program. In the list on the left side of the program window you should see two hard drives - the internal Mac drive and one labeled with Western Digital's name. (Not exactly sure how the WD drives appear.) Under each of those drives there will be another indented drive name. See picture below.
    If you don't see two drives there's your problem - for some reason the Mac doesn't recognize that there's an external drive plugged in. Check cables, etc.
    More than likely though you will see the two drives. See how in the picture I've selected the indented drive icon? Do the same for your WD drive. Now look at the bottom where it says Format. To use TimeMachine your format needs to be Mac OS Extended (journaled) and I'm betting it doesn't. After you've done that TM will be able to use the drive.

  • Cloud tv Android App not available outside the USA

    Why is the new cloud TV android app not available to people outside of the USA (Google play store restriction)?
    As far as I can tell the iOS app can be installed by anyone so this seems unnecessary.
    Also on the EU Toshiba website it mentions the cloud TV app for android.
    On a separate note, does anyone know when the firmware update will be released which provides miracast support for the cloud TV platform?

    Details are not known to me but on the Toshiba Cloud TV Portal you can find this disclaimer;
    + Toshiba Cloud TV is available in the TV series L4, L6, L7, L9, M6, M8 and M9.+

    If this doesn't resolve it you most likely have a hardware failure. Fortunately, your phone is in warranty, so if you take it to an Apple store they will replace it.

    How to creat an app-enabled accessories for iPhone? Please help me to get an answer..

    To get hardware interfaces and API's via hardware you
    need to join the MFi program.  That info is here:
    https://developer.apple.com/programs/mfi/
    To get the additional software to be able to download
    and test code on any iDevice, you must join the
    iOS Developer Program.  That info is here:
    https://developer.apple.com/programs/ios/
    Both programs require fees and NDA agreements,
    especially hardware as most vendors that supply
    components development tools will not sell you any
    of their tools unless you are a member of the MFi
    program.
