Send other AT&T phone owners this way too

The HSUPA Groubal got their attention - lets try this one. Yes we can root around their restrictions, but that is no reason to let them dictate unfair business practices

Download APK at https://www.amazon.com/app-email

adb install Amazon_Appstore-release.apk

Suit yourself on what you think is stupid.... but if you like sideloading, enjoy.

The problem is that you have to sideload every single app and update after you sideload the Amazon market app. And they are not named by app name either.


But for everyone voting that this is dumb; good job! Your comment got your post count one more higher.

Ummm the Amazon App doesn't update from the Android market, it updates directly from their website..... whos the stupid one now?

Why petition for something already being worked on?

WOW!!! Its at 15 signatures!! damn AT&T sure is going to change this whole thing with that many signs. This is a failed attempt. Dont be lazy, just sideload

If you don't have the non-market apps mod then sideloading the Amazon App store apk will not help. It will not be able to install any apps because they are non-market apps.

The only thing stupid is AT&T for removing this option to begin with.

Well, in all likelyhood, that will only be a workaround for one particular app store. What about any other current or future app stores?

This is something AT&T just needs to give up the ghost on.

What the hell is wrong with everyone?

Why do you have to bash and curse the guy who started the petition? If you don't want to sign, then don't sign it and move along. If you want to express your opinion, do it LIKE AN ADULT. Leave the 12 yr old attitude at home.

Did the OP do something wrong? Did he insult anyone like you guys are insulting him?

This is a sharing community. Get off your high horses and start being useful.

Yeah, hostility levels are high on XDA. Some people don't even read the original post and post all sorts of garbage.

AT&T should stop blocking apps and the installation of apps that they don't approve of. Oh and I would be really happy if they throttled my connection down instead of charging $10 per GB. That's just an unbelievable money grab.

OR try All App Stores.apk; can be downloaded straight from market and it will take u through to get amazon app. Petition wont reach the janitors desk. Not being smart ass, just the world where we live and as of now money power and capitalism, and definitly wallstreet ceo's rule it. So who has more of those us or at&t? Even if we got enough signitures att lawyers would find loop hole or art would make a large campaign contribution and new law that bans petitions against att or something ridiculas like that. Not pesemistic just true.

@ all - I've done some cleaning, what' wrong with everybody (seniors specially)?. Show some respect. If you want to make your point, do it...but with respect. No need to offend nobody. If you think something is wrong, do some constructive arguments.

@ Chubby_Skunk, can you please remove the gif from your sig (the one with the foul language and offensive to female users, thanks).

Thanks and back on topic.

I disagree. The HSUPA petition made the news on popular blog sistes (BRG, Engadget, etc.) and AT&T replied to the person that created the petition and finally made a public statement that they would fix it by end of April. And although the build has not been pushed, we know that 1.83 has HSUPA.

If we can get the numbers of sigs that the HSUPA one got, we should push them a bit. Consumer momentum works, and for this issue, it affects all AT&T android phones.

Besides, it takes 5 seconds to click on a box to sign the petition and there is nothing to loose.
