why are so many apps missing from the market with legend?!?
I can't find qik, ustream and many others!
Can I ask what ROM version you are using?
I can see them using 1.23.405.1.
If you meant QikTalk, I can see that. Ustream is there too.
the market is country dependent. This means if the app developer didn't turn on some checkboxes or there is some other issue with the app it won't show up on the market.
Next to that there are some strange things going on with apps on the legend. For example all barcode camera apps are not to find in the market but can be downloaded with an APK. A popular app "Layar" is nowhere to be found and doesn;t work with APK install. Layar and HTC claims is some camera issue. The desire has no issue while having the same camera....
There are someother examples of Apps not showing up. I think and hope that this is an issue because the Legend didn;t have a worldwide release like the Desire and App developers and publishers are not yet get catching up. Really hoping a rom update from HTC or XDA will fix many minor problems.
here are the info
ciao!
I am using the same rom, 1.23.405.1.
I can't find qik (for video streaming), bambuser (same purpose), nor even ustream (the application to stream your videos, non to view other people streaming).
I can't find barcode scanner as well. there's no clue of that application.
Some others are missing, I can't remember those apps, but I'll be more precise soon!
Hi,

Hello,
I am really sorry to bother you nice folks around here, but I have a problem.
A friend of mine used the Google Youtube app. He told me it was was an great app and that I should try it.
Because I trusted him, I did.
But if you install the Google Youtube app, it gets rid of your HTC Youtube App.
And we all know wich one is superior!
If I open an video through www.m.youtube.com I still get the same quality and interface as in the HTC Youtube app, so I guess my app is still hidden somewhere! I have searched everywhere on my device, but I could not find a file that redirects to the Youtube app. It's probably gone.
I found this, but is does not work on my device; http://www.1800pocketpc.com/2009/02...wvga-youtube-app-ported-to-vga.html#more-3424
And I can't download and try these cabs; because of restrictions due the fact that I am living in the Netherlands.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=426567
Could you guys help me out?

I had the exact same problem as you.
Don't download any youtube apps.
I did and it caused more problems like the registry font tweak and search sort order
stopped working..
So I installed the youtube apps that is flying around the internet.
If you install those, the tweaks font work.
Like you said the original youtube program is stored in
Windows folder, Just create a shortcut of one of those 2 youtube files
in Windows\start menu folder.
And you will have your youtube back in perfect condition.
Now.. my question is.. is there a youtube app that lets you view comments?
The htc one is quite good, but only if it allowed us to view comments..
The Android youtube app were really good at that..
Or is there a way to make opera like the safari on iPhone?
Instead of saying browser needs flash, Iphone just creates the video link
for all youtube apps so the browser triggers the iphone youtube app to handle
those flash youtube videos...
Please tell me if there is something similar on hd2..
Thank you so much! I was looking everywhere on the device! Just overlooked this one
And no, I haven't heard of something like that.
Instead I change the http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4OnhnvczTk into
http://www.m.youtube.com/watch?v=z4OnhnvczTk
That's my workaround when i get directed to a youtube link from twitter or windows live.
Hi people,
I can't find some apps in Market.
Such as Traffic Rush and others.
I am in Hong Kong (non-paid country) but I do have a vodafone UK sim card.
so is this normal?
thanks!
It's because of Wildfires 320x240 (qVGA) Resolution.
You can try to download your Application manually (Traffic+Rush_1.3.apk i guess?) and see if it will run.
The exact answer why we can't see all applications in the market is also already around here in the forums somewhere.

I try install some app copy from a G3 friend, some report error when install, some installed but button can not display normal(part / all out of edge).
most of this is games.
more than half is OK.
more over, some app have a QVGA version. like UCWEB,a web browser.
screen is the weakness, just think it may save battery, make you feels better.
maybe we should just wait how things evolve when froyo update is here
Also guys,
Install Appbrain market place and Fast web install from the market.
Use it with Appbrain.com and you can install all applications on the phone(that are free on the market).
Appbrain does not fix the problem. It show all apps, but if they're not available in your standard Market app, you won't be able to download them!!!!
If have a Wildfire since last week. I bought it in France without any career and I use it with a Vodafone spain simcard.
When I was in France, with my spain career I was able to see/download almost all apps... But since I'm back to spain, a lots of apps disappeared from the market.
If you use the fast installer and install from the site it works fine for me.
I downloaded Mixzing this way.
Payed apps like I said are excluded because of Google Checkout.
I downloaded Fast Web Installer and it said it integrated well with AppBrain ... however it still can't download some apps i find in AppBrain. "Element not found"
or do i have to install through appbrain website?!
got it to work ... install through website ... great find!!!
Is the Wildfire rootable yet?
If so, you can install a patched version of the Marketplace app that'll show all the apps that normally get hidden.
This works fine on my QVGA X10mini
see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=742608
(FYI, App developers have to specifically say what screen sizes their apps support. QVGA wasn't available in Android 1.5 or earlier, so old apps that haven't been updated won't show up. Likewise lazy authors won't think to test on other screensizes. We need to make sure authors know that there are lots of QVGA devices out there and we want to use their apps!)

does it work only on rooted?
and will the app run normally?
thanks for the help!
I've been using appbrain to get the apps that don't appear in the market and I've found it works really well. All the ones I've downloaded so far have fit the screen perfectly as well, I don't see any reason why they couldn't be made available on the market

I've only tried on a rooted device (since I removed the original vending.apk and replaced it with the patched one)
If you follow my link through to the original HTC Tattoo thread, you'll find the links for the patched apk's so you can try installing it normally and see what happens
Hello,
For some strange reason, I can't find the Youtube application on the market, whichever ROM I try. I used to get it fine on my HTC Magic but nothing on my HTC HD2.
I can't find Vocal Search either but that one can be found in CM's gapps.zip. No Youtube in that pack unfortunately...
So is there an address or thread that keeps an up-to-date .apk of the Youtube app ?
Thank you very much !
Install market enabler. Then launch market enabler, go to setting list, long press either us t-mobile or us-verizon. A menu will appear, press fake this provider now.
Now you'll be able to find the youtube app on market.
I know about that but I don't really want to install an app to get another app. I wouldn't use market enabler for anything else...
Check your PM.

There's a function called "Apps Un-installing", but then u already know dat.
Hi there. I installed a market enable but I still cannot find a youtube. is a reason because I'm from Serbia or what, i dont know. Please, if someone can give me a hand with this, I would be very happy. I found Maps and Gmail, but Youtube is the most important for me.
Found a solution. I didn't change a network in setings.

Solution found or ??
Same for me, cant find it in belgium, tried to download market enabler and it doesnt work either :-s
I found an apk file online and it doenst want to open either...Did anyone find another solution to this problem?
Strange that youtube isnt default anyways, but i guess thats one price to pay for having an HD2 on android...still a cool and much better phone with android that f*@king windows. ;-o

If you're from Belgium and go to the android market website on your computer, you'll see you won't be able to install youtube.apk because it's not allowed in our country. Market enabler is an old well-known solution, but I recall Google having removed the separation between market-regio's so Market enabler was no longer required. So why suddenly is there some country-based restrictions again on some apps :/ Even youtube.. I mean I can easily open a brower on my computer in Belgium and just access youtube so I don't understand why it would be forbidden to open it from a smartphone.

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For the last few months I've Ben unable to update/install Facebook on a500. App does not show in marketplace app, does show on web android market but shows as not compatible with Acer. I've got factory install (of honeycomb) and received latest updates---though I had the problem prior to 3.1. Note I already have older version of Facebook when I was able to install (when I first got a500...just after release). I'm not interested in rooting if possible and believe issue must be related to configs on marketplace in my profile?
I'm sure the issue isn't very widespread or else this forum would filled with posts...anythoughts?
you are correct that it is currently not compatible. That is why on your Acer there is a Facebook link. It has nothing to do with your user settings on the marketplace. What you can do is look up on xda or on Google for the facwbook apk.

Download Friend Me from the market, it's the next best thing to an actual app from Facebook.
As far as Netflix, the only way right now is to root, download the app from the forum, download a patch and it'll work. Only downside is it causes problems with the camcorder function.
Maybe this can lead you in the right direction:

The Netflix fix does not cause me video can issues.
Don't know about net flix but i use the same black transparent Facebook app that I use on my mosaic powered captivate with no problems

I use the dolphine browser HD for fb. Use a gesture for quick access. Set it to use https instead of http. Netflix won't work unless u root it. Look around for rooting options and apk for Netflix.
the Facebook link Acer provides sucks. I can't use it myself. Dolphine has webzine feature but if u like regular full fb, dolphin in desktop mode is perfect.

When I try to upload pictures on my FB via the application, it reaches 100% and then I get an error that the transfer failed. If I do it on the browser it works.
What seems to be the problem? I am on HC 3.2 and my Xoom is unrooted.
Works fine here. Try signing out, clearing data, signing in, and trying again.
No, it didn't work.
I can't see my albums either.

TBH, that app is flaky as h*ll, adn gives nothing but problems. I use the mobile browser for most facebooking. It's far superior. However, that doesn't answer your question...
I seem to remember the latest version of that app fixing that issue. Are you on the latest by chance?
Yes I am. I even removed and installed the app again.
No answer here?
The best thing to do for your Facebook needs is to download a third party app or possibly search Google for the .apk of an older version and sideload it. A lot of people have been complaining about the latest update in the comments on the Market page for the Facebook app.
[BEGIN RANT]
I do wish they'd release a proper tablet version of their app already. The current app looks alright even if it's stretched but a dedicated tablet version would do way more justice. Then again, the Facebook people dragged their feet developing an Android app before they finally released their own so them dragging their feet here doesn't surprise me.
They drag their feet with the Facebook Android app while constantly screwing around with the layout of the site confusing users who are already still coming to grips with the last layout change. That and just their way of doing things in general would have had me delete my account long ago if it weren't for that site being my only means of contacting certain people.
