The only problem is the apps you install with it will not be listed in "My apps" in the market, so you will not be notified of any updates or be able to update through the market. A permanent solution is still needed from the developers.

To install with the sideload wonder machine first download the program from: http://www.androidcentral.com/sidelo...wonder-machine

Next you will need the pocket legends apk that asommers posted a link to on the first page of this thread.

Save the apk to the same directory as the sideload wonder machine and follow the instructions for using the sideload wonder machine as listed on android central's website.

Hope this works out for you guys.

This is too much of a process for some of us. We should be able to download on the market without the hassle. I put money towards PL and I intend to continue to if they will fix this issue. :P

If you don't want to use my solution then don't, but I don't really want to hear your complaints.

Dont get me wrong--; I do appreciate the help... However.. That is not a solution. Just a temporary fix that could possibly harm such devices if the average user doesn't know what they are doing. I'm not complaining, just sharing my own opinions.

I know Im not obligated to use that method, either. Just stating that we shouldn't have to take such measures to run this app every time STS updates PL. Along with that, we will not have to go through this method for future updates if they fix this issue. And come tomorrow, I am pretty sure it will be. So I am not too worried about it. (:

I believe I stated that a permanent solution is needed. This implies that mine is a temporary one.

I don't know where you got the information that this process can harm your phone, but that's not the case. This process is very easy to follow.

Have fun waiting for a permanent solution, I'll be lvling my 50 in the new dungeon.

No need to get sassy. Sideloading was disabled and blocked for reasons that aren't too difficult to guess at and figure out alone.

Anyhow, I have other mmo games to play to pass the time. Until then. Ciao! :>

You obviously have no idea what you're talking about. You can't figure out how to use this simple sideloading program and you're blatantly guessing at why sideloading is disabled on some android devices; which is dictated by the carrier btw.

Have fun chief.

Got the solution!!! here is the email i got from the android customer service:

- Make sure there is enough space on your phone to download the app.
- Reboot your phone.
- Make sure your Internet connectivity is good and your phone is connected to the network.
- Try logging in to Google Talk and then attempt to download your apps.
- Clear the data and cache from the Market app.
- If you recently received a market client update, please try to uninstall the app by following the steps below.(this is what worked for me)

* Android 1.6 users:

1) Go to 'Home' > 'Menu' > 'Settings' > 'Applications' > 'Manage applications'
2) Press 'Menu', then touch 'Filter' > 'All'
3) Scroll down and select the 'Market' app
4) Touch 'Uninstall updates'

* Android 2.2 users:

1) Go to 'Home' > 'Menu' > 'Settings' > 'Applications' > 'Manage applications'
2) Press 'All'
3) Scroll down and select the 'Market' app
4) Touch 'Uninstall updates'
The Market application will revert to the original version, and you should now be able download apps.

Yeah, I'm also having the same problem with my captivate. I've tried clearing market place and direct download without success. This was my favorite game until this happened.

**asommers** · 02-08-2011, 05:24 AM

We are looking into what else we can do. The Android OS is written by Google. The Android Market is an application written by Google. We don't control the Market, what's displayed in it, or getting applications installed on your device. We just make the application. If it didn't work on all devices, I'd say there's a problem with the app, but it worked on all of the devices we have internally. The only difference between us and other apps is potentially application size, but that will only increase as the game expands. We are collecting as much information as we can to hand off to Google.

I tried the uninstalling updates and clearing cache on market now states download unsuccessful on device

**Razorclawz** · 02-08-2011, 07:21 AM

btw other apps are still able to be downloaded no problem just PL is an issue

**Mapezu** · 02-08-2011, 08:20 AM

I just uninstall PL. Then i download it from this site and install and boot phone. Works good for me.

Market download not work but i think this help.

**MICRO.LE** · 02-08-2011, 09:09 AM

Mapezu, are you using a Samsung phone from at&t because I also uninstalled PL now it wont allow me to install 1.7

**nomage** · 02-08-2011, 06:52 PM

Hi All

The problem is due to the file size of version 1.7. A few phone manufacturers(samsung for one) have only given /cache 30mb of space. Anything downloaded from the market will be stored there temporarily until gets installed. As the new package is larger than the cache, the market fails to download it.

Two solutions..
Sideload install (download the apk directly from spacetimestudios) bypassing the market or spacetimes studio needs to reduce the size of the apk to be below 30mb.

Hope the above explains the cause of the problem.
