[Q] Since there are no Q&A section here, I'll post it here. - Xperia Arc General

I am trying to donwload all my apps from X10 again. But I cant find some of the apps with arc?
If I search market on web, I find it. And with my X10.
Why can't arc find it??

Is it possible the apps you can't find don't yet work on Gingerbread?

I have found all the apps that I downloaded for the x10. Wierd.

Is it a big difference? I had 2.2 in my X10.

Is there way to see what apps I've paid for in market?

I tries market on web, and it says it not comaptible? Is there a way to run the file anyways? Or emulate an old android version?

android market search issues (donut)

Since I installed donut (was previously using an Ion build with the first android market version) I have not been able to find many applications I once had or was able to previously find. For what it's worth, i'm in Canada.
Examples include:
- scoreboard (google)
- listen (google)
I installed "market enabler" v.3.0.4. and am now able to see paid applications but still cannot find apps which are even free and I know are in the market (specifically google applications)
Is this an issue with the newer vogue builds or is this only a problem I am having?

the issue is with screen resolution. when in qvga 320x240 only fully compatible apps will show. the same problem exists on the tattoo. switching to 320x480 should solve the problem.
right. didn't understand that this was the same problem as that since i've always used the same resolution in any build. thanks. now i feel like an idiot

no problem. this was actually a bug we had for a couple months when donut first came out. everyone was throwing a fit. so you either live with out those apps in market or download them while in hvga 320x480 and then try to run them in qvga. most will still run in qvga from what i've experienced. some older apps don't scale right.

To get the apps to show up again, load up a fresh donut rom at 320x480 @ 160dpi (fresh data too), than if you go back to 1.5 running even 240x320 @ 120 all of the apps will be visible.
Unfortunately we currently don't have a complete fix for people who run Donut at 240x320 that want to see all apps.
Perhaps soon though
Myn does that smiley face suggest you are working on a fix? This issue is the last thing keeping me from using nand, cause I can't regenerate a full market on the fly with it.
Is anyone else unable to see paid apps? I used marketenabler but I still can only see free apps
Thanks everyone.
On another note: is anyone out there on Rogers/Fido network? My most viewed webpage on my phone is wap.sportsnet.ca and I see now that they have an android app. Problem is I can't find that on market and they do say on the sportsnet website that it's for Rogers/Fido subscribers only. Since there's probably no incentive for market enabler to spoof a canadian provider (i.e. spoof rogers specifically) i cannot get this app. Would love a copy of the apk if someone could do so please.
cheers

Are you setting it to US t-mobile? That allows me to see paid apps - seems temporary though.

I used a link to Market Enabler that never worked right for me. This one does:
http://market-enabler.googlecode.com/files/MarketEnabler_3.0.4.apk
You need to run Market Enabler each time you boot into Android or else you won't see the paid apps. I keep the link in my gmail account, so I can access it easily if I change to a different build of Android.

I think I was using the wrong version of MarketEnabler - I am using your new build and the included MarketEnabler (looks different than the one I had) works like a charm - can see all apps.

pls help

Bear in mind that the Market isn't available in every region. If that's the case, the OP could try downloading SlideME, or using a custom ROM with Market Enabler.

You will only see applications on the Market available in your region, and compatible with your version of Android. Hero is based on Android 1.5, this means you will only see apps that work on 1.5.
If you want to find a specific app, your best bet is to Google it to see what versions of Android it supports.

Dave

use market enabler to get the most from market. other than that use google to search for the app. this for example turns up when i search for "alternate android market": http://androidcommunity.com/forums/f23/alternative-android-markets-25777/

[Q] Apps in Market missing?

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

[APP] New Market

Hi,
I've just installed the new Android Market.
I know that's not a big deal, but it's cool.
1 - Access via phone this link
2 - Install app
If anything goes wrong, access App Manager and uninstall updates.
Ps: Always good do a nand backup before.
Source: Droid-Life
Sorry my english.
Won't you get a notification for upgrading the Android Market once you access it? You still need to manually upgrade it? :|
As far as I know this update will be release only in a few weeks.
do I need to be rooted to install this apps?

if this is the same app that was on pocketnow and androidcentral, then no. its just a normal .apk that updates the market that is currently on the phone, much like it when when the update hits.
I am still unsure as to how the notification will be affected if this update has already been installed. hopefully it wont have to reinstall the same thing again or anything like that.
either way, i have it and it look "meh". better than the original, but still very green and complicated. I dont want to have to click a "more" tab just to read the description of an app.
**FLAME BAIT**
iPod app store is much easier to navigate and install apps with. this app store is much more flashy with its carousel of apps and whatnot, but i havent used that thing once.

[Q] Latest Youtube apk

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.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
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.
