Well apparently Astro have finally released the Astro On-the-Go app for us Android users after months being left out in the dark..

But, it seems like it ONLY WORKS FOR CERTAIN SAMSUNG PHONES FOR NOW with more phones will be supported soon.

BUT, apparently I still can't get my Samsung Galaxy Nexus to download the app from the Google Play.

Reason? "Your device isn't compatible with this version."

Seriously? I thought it "supports Samsung Galaxy Nexus with Android 4.0 and above."

Mine is on Jelly Bean 4.1.1.. Still not rooted and etc.. (I know I can't believe it as well.. I'm not using custom ROM? Am I really me? hehe)

You guys are experiencing the same issue as me? Listed as eligible from the Astro website but in Play it stated otherwise?

I know both Maxis and Astro are biologically related but I didn't expect them to be haywire to this level... shakehead.gif

lol, seriously? Damn lucky.. If it took Astro months to release the Android version even on certain devices, how long will it take for them to improve the compatibility with our phone? Months? I think so.

They treated Android like it's a minor OS, I wonder how they will treat Windows Phone 7 and 8?

Most local developers are the same, except for capital fm, surprisingly.. They announced it proudly on the radio commercial.. "Capital fm app can now be downloaded from the App Store and Google Play"..

I was like "wait what? I only heard the word google play..".. n so i waited for that commercials again.. hehe

I try On-The-Go 6.3.1.apk taken from my phone and transfer to another phone. When try to install, I get error 'There was a problem while parsing the package.'

Lol I never realized how far this thread have gone since I started it couple of years ago. Personally speaking, I've already given up with this thing. I used Nexus phones and tablets since 2012 and it seems no matter which Nexus I used, it's not supported, for some fcuking unknown reason. When in fact, most developers out there used Nexus as a reference device when building their apps. So I'll just say, fcuk you Astro and your fcuking on the go app. vmad.gif It's been 2 years and it's clear they'll never made the app compatible for this line of devices. shakehead.gif

Good luck on your hunt to make the app work elsewhere though, nordingh. notworthy.gif icon_rolleyes.gif
