I haven't had a chance to test it on a different WiFi network yet, but that is my next thing to try. I did find an application that was giving me the error over WiFi, then tried what you suggested. I manually downloaded the APK and transferred it to my phone, and it worked fine doing a local instal...

Well if it fails via your ISP/Wifi, keep in mind the major ISPs (Singtel, Starhub, maybe M1) do outbound web caching for everything, and you can't get around it. In most cases, you'll never notice, but I've had a few applications have problems with it. Basically, if your device makes an HTTP/HTTPS ...

I actually used to have an iPhone but decided to switch to Android to see what it was all about lol. And now you know what it's all about ;) (I say it as someone who owns multiple iOS and Android devices*). Is there anything specific about the packages you can't get? Some commonality? I know a carr...

Thanks for the reply. I think I am stuck with this phone unless Starhub gives some sort of 14-30 day return policy. It seems to be only a few select applications. Some work fine downloading over WiFi, others give the "Invalid Package" error. Even Google Chrome gives me the error when downloading it ...

So in a nutshell, I bought a StarHub Galaxy SIII LTE phone yesterday, and I have some weird problems with it I was hoping someone else has seen them or knows what I should do. Any time I try to download some apps over my WiFi (Chrome, Facebook, etc) I get an error that says "Package file is invalid"...

A few people had to actually cancel on drinks tonight in Holland Village.

So for now we will just cancel the event, perhaps we can try to re-schedule something for next week. I'll try and update this thread when I get more info for next week.

Cheers

Ok so drinks in holland village it is for tomorrow!

If anyone else is interested in joining, send me a PM.

Likely will be at the pit or whatever was reccomended earlier in the thread.

What time is everyone available to meet? 7:00pm ish?

Hey!

I used to DJ back in the states. I mostly DJ trance/progressive/electro mixes. If you are interested, feel free to PM me and I can link you to some of my stuff.

Still waiting for my equipment to show up unfortunately.

Any Women are welcome to come too! We probably wont be talking about football the _whole_ time..

That sounds like it could be awesome. With the gamepass its commercial free right? (Assuming you watch it on demand)?

You all up for maybe meeting up to discuss some (American) football this Thursday in Holland Village somewhere?

Well, I would PM all of you, but apparently I haven't made enough posts to be able to PM... @ harlyd: Definitely wil be interested in meeting up for a drink.. Maybe next weekend? @ Everyone else about football: Maybe we should schedule a meetup for all of us american football fans and get a few pint...

Yes, I do enjoy American football!! I don't think there will be many places to watch games out here though. I'm busy apartment searching the rest of the day, but maybe later this week or next weekend we can grab a pint!

Hey,

Just arrived in Singapore last week from NC, USA. Looking to meet to people in the area, have a drink, or grab a bite, go see a movie, or anything else!

Let me know!

Ok. Thank you for that information. I'm going through newegg because I still have my newegg account and can get a good financing deal :). Looking at vPost, I don't think I need the total service like this. Is there a way I can separately pay the GST on the package, say if I get it shipped DHL, or FE...

Hey, I was wondering if it would be possible for me to order a laptop from newegg, and have it shipped to my address in the USA, then have someone ship it to me here in Singapore. Are there any restrictions/laws that would prevent me from doing something like this? Will I have to pay taxes in Singap...
