This came up in another thread and I just wanted to put it out there in case others have the problem and don't follow the thread. I know I have bought apps before on the Marketplace but now, for some reason, I can only see apps that are free. I am using the most recent Google Ion image, with sqsh.
Any ideas?
-Xrom1.5r4c
-Verizon
-No Paid Apps Available
Just noticed that, I wonder if its the rom or if in fact its our carrier signature thats blocking the paid. I know Verizon is launching its first Android Handset by Motorola called the Sholes A855 and I am wondering if they disable the paid apps option in lieu of its own app marketplace. If anybody else can confirm this, please note like I did what carrier, rom and if you can access paid apps.

I don't think it's a ROM issue as we both use different builds. I'll try a few things tonight and see what I can come up with unless someone else does first.
Looks like we aren't the only ones... but this was back in July and there was no reply to it:
http://androidcommunity.com/forums/f12/android-market-not-showing-paid-apps-22043/
Hopefully we can get this resolved.
Have tried all of the roms and I am on Sprint. I NEVER get have seen paid apps.
i second that from verizon. never have had paid apps. tried all roms. Im liking this latest hero rom though. i think im gonna stick with it. pretty smooth

I'm on Sprint and have paid apps on my phone, but none are showing in the market recently. I wondered why I couldn't find Bloo or Cachmate! To confirm I went to Applications > All Applications > Menu >Change View>Priced Items Only and nothing was returned.
I also saw that there is a new market coming out. When it is launched will we be able to use that on our port?
Looks like this might be our problem, this was posted two days ago (about the time we stopped seeing paid apps) so I'm guessing whatever change they made could have done something to our ability to view and purchase paid apps. I'm debating whether or not to post on the official forums about our problem.

Hi everyone,
We made a change today that should fix accessibility issues for some Samsung Galaxy and HTC users. If you're still having issues, please let me know.
Thanks for your patience.

EDIT: I posted a question on the google support forums, hopefully they will answer or at least look into what could be causing the issue: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Android+Market/thread?tid=44ab7732ede802ef&hl=en
I know that the no-paid-apps problem is still persisting but my luck has just changed for the worse. Now, I can only see about 18 apps in total on the market and I can't filter out free/paid.
Use the market enabler found here:
http://code.google.com/p/market-enabler/
Load it up, long-press on the carrier of your choice (I use T-Mobile US) and select "Use this profile" or whatever. Should do the trick.
However, after running the Donut Market, as noted by some people in the Donut thread, most of the apps in the market will disappear, even if you go back to Cupcake.

Yeah, must have been the Donut Market that screwed me up. Running Market Enabler does nothing for my phone, guess I'll be getting the Sholes when it hits Verizon in a few weeks.

if someone that is getting all paid/free or just free apps could download

I am also paddling right next to you guys. What I tried was clearing the phone of my google login data. This allowed me to create a new google account the next time I launched GMail or Market. I was then able to see all of the free apps on Market. Unfortunately, when I re-cleared my google login data, in order to login back into my real gmail account, I was back to only seeing 20 apps.

Shakes his fists at the Google gods! Curse you!
Yeah, market enabler won't do anything for our Donut Market Corruption, AFAIK.
However, over on the Hero forums, they don't seem to have a problem with the Market. So I asked them about it, and Maximus asked to see our build.prop, which I provided for him both from our cupcake and donut builds. If I have time tomorrow I will download a Hero image and compare their build.prop to ours and see if I can figure anything out.
OK... I may have figured some more stuff out.
I was browsing the Sapphire forums, and found that the dev of one of their Donut ROMs changed the device name to MyTouch, for reasons similar to the issues we're having:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4674402&highlight=market#post4674402
Again, if I get time tomorrow, I will look into modifying some roms to see what results I can get. Hopefully we can get past this. And hopefully the problem doesn't follow me to the HTC Hero I'm getting next month.

Hello,
As of this moment i'm a proud nexus one owner!!
And i was wondering if its possible to enable paid apps in the android market since i live in kuwait and not in the US or UK.
Please help
Have you looked at marketenabler or MarketSpoof?
Just to throw out one data point: Modaco ROM 1.3 + MarketEnabler_3.0.4 works.

Try pulling out your sim and surfing the market over wifi. (with market enabler installed)
Do they show up now?
Anyone know why paid apps on Andriod Market are locked on Optus..??
My contract is up with them end of this month, thinking about jumping over to Vodafone..
Is there anyway to bypass this lock out?
optus block it so people are forced to use their own crappy market.
use market enabler if your phone is rooted, or put another carrier sim card in to download the paid apps..
there is a huge thread about it on whirlpool
I was using Market Spoof, I found it more convenient, just click the widget on or off when you want to use the apps store. I got fed up with optus and changed to vodafone mainly because of this.
I am in Kuwait and not able to get to the paid apps either.. Where do i download this market spoof or market enabler from?? Thanks!

How to get this on my N1?
Do I access this link via the browser, or do I need to have paid access to the Android Marketplace?
I tried via the browser but it comes up saying the website is temporarily down.....
Help!
I am from the Philippines and we only have access to free apps. My Nexus S came with a T-Mobile SIM (bought from Best Buy last Dec 2010) and thought of using it just to check. Of course I didn't get any signal but got full access to android market. I was able to purchase app, via my Nexus S and from the web Android Market.
Putting back my local SIM will give me the 'Not Found: The requested item could not be found" when i tap the purchased item, but clearing data by going to Market will make the app reappear.
For some screen grabs, check my posterous page.
So that SIM is useful for something after all. Thanks for the info.
Thanks for the info.
I used the Market Enabler app. Phone must be rooted but it does what it is supposed to.
Just remember to switch back to you country after using Market Enabler

That's what I did to gain access to paid apps, and some free ones like Skype which aren't in the Pakistani android market.
The annoying thing is that to update some of the paid apps I need to put back the US sim card, while others update without needing the US sim once installed.
Yeah, I have been using T mobile SIM to get full access since day one . I live in Jordan.
we really do hope.. someone can update our market place that we can buy any paid apps without changing sims.. since its really frustrating..
what i mean is that i hope someone can have an enabler that doesn't need root..
Okay guys maybe im missing something here, but i know yere are several programs such as bank of america, compass bank, mint, and many more are available in the android market. When i try to access them on my tab they are not even showing up as available for download. Can anyone tell me what is going on?
Thanks in advance.
It either can’t be installed in your country or it’s not compatible. That is what I get when I look at some of those apps on the market from a PC.
Im in the USA and bank of america is installed on my android phone wont even show up on my tablet... what gives?

App developer has marked this app not compatible with Android 3.0
Missing apps in 'My Apps' of Market
Sorry I meant to post a new thread. Deleting and reposting...
Yep. I've only noticed the Netflix app is missing now.
When I was updating to 3.1 it made me pick a country from the list. Since USA wasn't a choice I just chose UK (assuming it was just asking for language purposes) . Could that have screwed up my android market choices?
