X10 - no market

I got the x10 yesterday from DUbai. For the last 20 hours I am looking for the market. Could not find it. If it was there and not in the application list how to enable it.
If it was not how to install it ?
Please help.

Mines was in the Applications Drawer at the bottom... and I added a Shortcut on my desktop for it too

It is not there. Even in the user manual it says it is there but I could not find it.

maybe you got one with a prototype-firmware. Check if you can get an update

hi man i knw this is off ur topic but just want to ask how much does it cost to buy an x10 from dubi i have family there i want to see if its cheaper than lebanon thanks and wish u found the markit thing take care...

Big shops (Axiom, S DJ, ..etc) AED 3000
Other small shops (after long search) AED 2700

I got confirmation that market is not allowed by Telcom Regularity Authority in UAE. That is why it is not included in the device.
U need to flash to a UK version - It should be availble in some shops

No YouTube App and Hyves for TimeScape
I'm not missing the Market app... I'm missing the YouTube app ... and also Hyves for timescape I am missing :'(
According the update program which I have download, I have the latest firmware 1.0.14

no market
hi i just bought an x10 from uae. its very unfortunate that uae has blocked or not allowed the market app in android phones, however if i update my software as ive heared that version2.1 will be released shortly
q1)will my x10 work in india? i mean the market app.
q2)can i download any other third party software? if yes from where?

1) it's firmware related - so it won't work in india either, as long you haven't updated the firmware.
2) yes - just search google for "*.apk"
you'll have to find a file-manager like "astro".
it would be much easier as soon as you get a different firmware.

Thanks for the info.
I don't have Play Now, I have urMusic which I can't use because I am not a Rogers customer.
Need to debrand but when I do I lose my MLB at bat 2010 in the market.

Market problems with new root?

Hi, I know I've read of other people having the same problem I'm having where there are apparently missing from the market. Has anyone found a solution?
Sent from my X10a using XDA App

Which root method did you use? I had the market issues with the first couple of root versions, but my phone and the market are working perfectly now with the latest 3 step version. Im also using market enabler with no issues either. Would consider re-rooting with the newest method. Really doesnt take very long once you get used to it.
Sent from my X10a using XDA App

I've used the latest R2B020 3 step method (with steps 4 and 5 for my Rogers X10a). Still can't find Pure Calendar Widget, or Tapatalk Pro. I should try enabler...

He's got a point.. There used to be an app before on the market called countouch launcher but somehow disappeared from mine!!
Everything else is perfect though.. removed alot of the built in apps and it runs smooth as ever for me
All thanx to the geniuses who rooted this phone!!

There is a problem because of the region the firmware's from.
I got market enabler, but there's some apps I want that I still don't see in the market
If anyone knows how to configure market enabler to allow stuff from rogers (canada) that'd be great

Yeah, got the same issues with my X10a. Market enabler app is quite simple really. all it does is use the MCC MNC codes (see wikipedia) for you mobile operator and sets them in some config files (see the wiki on market enabler project hosting website).
There is something much deeper going on here. I had purchased UltimateJuice before rooting with the crappy Japanese Firmware and market was able to find it after the root as well. But, this time around with the R2BA020 firmware... not quite so.
I wrote to the developer of UltimateJuice and he mentioned that Android Market terms forbid some access to rooted/custom firmwares. Personally I don't see how how Google manages to enforce that.
There is certainly some way in which we can tweak around the settings somewhere to make Android Market realize that we are legit. I mean look at brut.all's google navigation hack...
EDIT: I did try almost all the market enabler settings but didn't manage to to see my app. The developer told me that he had create a version specifically for that situation (its called UltimateJuice (Alternate))... lacking more details, I dont know what that means...

Interesting... I don't think root has anything to do with it though because I have been missing these Alps since I flashed r2ba020 originally (the telenor one).
I too can confirm that market enabler does not work. What I'm wondering is if Google is limiting the apps in some way because the firmware us new.
Sent from my X10a using XDA App

I think it's some kind of market bug. I had the same when I debranded from 1.0.14 o2 to 1.0.16 generic.
After some weeks everything worked fine again. So I think google has to unlock new firmware for their market ?!?

Make sure you system kill (with taskpanel etc) the market after you make changes with market enabler. Maybe obvious, but some may forget.a

i'm having almost the same problem, i tried download the market enabler and and tried to view in market for paid software but cant see any also, i used appbrain i can see a few only but not much at all

I'm also having some problems with the market, before root I had an app called myplayer which was a bbc iplayer app.
Can anyone else who is in the UK check the market to see if you can find this app?

I believe this is dependent on the firmware region that you use to root the device. The myPlayer app is restricted to the UK only, so if the firmware is not officially recognised as a UK build you will not be able to see the app on the Android Market.

I am on UK branded O2 firmware R1FA016 and I can see the myplayer app in the market.
I am not rooted.

Thanks a lot for checking mate.
I have now installed Market Enabler, according to it I was already identifying as Orange UK (234-33). I have tried all other UK network codes and still cannot see the myplayer app.
Does anyone have a link to the .apk file so I can bypass the market altogther?

Issues
I am another proud owner of a rooted x10a (now x10i)
But I got problems, I cannot sent MMS with the rooted phone, it just looks like im missing an app because, but i don't know where to find it, and I have the right APNs. So if someone can help us out with this issue I'll will be very grateful.
Also timescape is missging the facebook and tweeter plug-ins :-S
You guys are my best shot

Now, this is interesting to me. I tried to do the rooting option, but I got stuck on step 2, which couldn't find my device. So I used SEUS to update, and it let me update to R2BA020. I assumed that, coming through SEUS, this would be an official, unrooted update, as if I was going back to the default (although it came on O2 in the UK with the R_whateveritwas_016 firmware). I didn't like the idea that a rooted phone caused a few issues anyway, but the R2BA020 update has made a HUGE difference to my battery life.
Then I noticed that the O2 branding had gone - not much, just O2 updates in Timescape that I didn't want anyway...
But I noticed that my lovely Death Star Clock was no longer in the market, and MyPlayer also has gone...
Dang... so it seems like my phone no longer thinks I am in the UK or something.
I've got Beebplayer though, which I preferred to MyPlayer anyway.
But, it's a bugger... I LOVED my Death Star clock!

[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

Timescape plug-ins

After following 007shark's ideas followed on this thread,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18083358#post18083358
I now have a fulle Timescape UI rom on my Verizon Xplay, and it runs awesome. Love it. Problem is that when I go to the android market to download and install some of the plug-ins I am unable to as it says I have a Verizon Xplay which does not come with Timescape.
I am wondering if it would be against the rules if I were to ask on this thread if anyone has o would be willing to post the plug-ins for the following app to this thread so that I may download and install them, to enjoy.
Here are the apps I would love to get:
SE Product Blog :
https://market.android.com/detailsid=vnpinteractive.spblogts&feature=also_installed_confirmation
YouTube:
https://market.android.com/details?id=vnpinteractive.youtubets&feature=more_from_developer
XDA:
https://market.android.com/details?id=vnpinteractive.xdaforumstimescape
-Again if this request is against the rules I apoligize. All the aaps are free its just I cant download them.

Open /system/build.prop with a text editor and replace all R800x references with R800i.
Also, change the operator name from Verizon to AT&T and change the numeric sim operator from 310012 to 310410.
Save and exit the build.prop and restart your phone.
Your phone should be able to get those timescape apps and also, you'll be able to download PS1 games from the Playstation Pocket app.
Hope this helps.

I will give it a try. Thank you
Sent from my R800x using xda premium

Ok, I changed all references of R800x to R800i and changed the sim line and Verizon to AT&T. Still the same. I open up the gameloft app and it shows r800i but the market still does not show any timescape apps.
Ok, I lied. I was able to download/install the timescape apps I wanted from the market. My phone showed up as a Verizon R800i. Butthe important matter is I got the stuff. Neato. Thank you 16bitify

Hmm that is strange. I'm looking at the market and can see those apps you mentioned on the market. I'm going to upload my build.prop so you can see it for comparison.
If that doesn't work, let me know so I can just upload the apk of those files for you.
