I'm having trouble installing an app
from HP App Catalog
There are several sources of applications
for your HP webOS device:
HP App Catalog. App Catalog is located in the
Launcher on webOS devices. Applications that have been reviewed
by HP and meet specific development standards are included in App
Catalog searches. They appear with a gray background (on smartphones).
Web distribution. Web-distributed apps are usually
delivered to the device via links and are downloaded and installed
using App Catalog on the device. Because web distributed apps have
not been reviewed by HP, they are not included in App Catalog searches.
They appear with a blue background (on smartphones).
Beta apps. Beta apps are prerelease versions
of applications that are in the final stages of development. Beta
apps are usually delivered to the device via links and are downloaded
and installed using App Catalog on the device. The app details page
for a beta app displays a banner that says BETA APP. Beta apps
are not included in App Catalog searches. They appear with an orange
background (on smartphones).
Homebrew or preware. Homebrew or preware applications
are applications that are developed outside HP’s developer network.
HP cannot assist with finding, purchasing, downloading, installing,
updating, or removing these applications. See Using applications
from sources other than App Catalog for more information
about homebrew apps.
If you received one of the following errors, the app is not
compatible with your device.
-
This application is not available for your model.
-
This application is not available for your carrier.
-
This application is not available in your country.
-
This application cannot run on your current operating
system. Use the Updates app to install the system update and try
again.
-
This is not a valid webOS application.
Try these steps if you can’t install an application that was
downloaded through App Catalog. Stop when the problem is solved.
-
If you received an error message, follow the prompts
to reinstall the app.
-
Delete the application. See “Deleting applications” in Using App Catalog or Using App Catalog on an HP TouchPad .
Tip If you delete an app purchased from App Catalog, you
don’t have to purchase the application again. Purchased applications
are associated with your HP webOS Account.
-
Restart your device, and then try the download and installation
process again:
-
Open Device Info
.
-
Tap Reset Options.
-
Tap Restart.
-
After the device restarts, find the app in App Catalog or
tap the link for the app (if this is a beta app or web-distributed
app) and attempt the installation again.
