My wife just got a Razr and I needed to send her links to several apps that she will need. I used the long press then share option to send them via text message. Now when either of us clicks on the link in the message, it just takes us to the market, not to the app's page on the market. Anyone else notice this?

This link should take her to an app called "Cargo Decoder" (for HAZMAT placards). All it does is open the Market home page. This makes any attempt at sharing a link useless.

Android app name: Cargo Decoder

I found if I go into Settings/Applications/Manage Applications/ and then open an app page and click "Share" from there, it sends a different link and that link works. The long press links still do not work.

You can also initiate app downloads ota by going to [Only registered users can view links. ] and signing in using the Gmail associated with the phone. It's a pretty cool and handy feature.

She's not here with me so I was trying to send her app links via text.

I know its not exactly what you asked for. It's a handy feature that kind of accomplishes the same thing, so I thought I'd put it out there. Just a helpful hint.

I appreciate it, thanks. Luckily I did find the workaround listed above. I have no idea how long this has been broken, or even if it's broken for everyone or just me.

I'd suggest this ShareMyAppsDonate (3.1.3): [Only registered users can view links. ] (there's also a free version).
