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?

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.

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.

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!

Why not just use "marketenabler" ?
Sent from my Hero using Tapatalk
Market access is based on Market enabler, improved, without ads and so on. Just like Superuser 2.1 is to the old Superuser app as we all know.
Oh... I didn't know. Last time I tried to use marked enabler, it only worked on Android 1.5, hence the reason I thought I found something fantastic.
Marketenabler works just fine on everything above 1.5. But must say Market access seems a bit faster to set. It also for the nice feature to enble it on boot
-------------------------------------
Sent via the XDA Tapatalk App
hmm, market enable worked but no set on boot and also no "top paid" tab, market access thinks that I do not have root!
Try the latest 1.0.6 version, root check has been improved. If the issue still remains, please post logcat.
Maybe I am missing something, but how does this app help if your country is not supported by Google Checkout yet?
is there a workaround for that?
I must say I have yet to have any problems switching betwean markets though. Just not sure how to actually buy apps using it...
My country Malaysia supports Google Checkout but no Paid apps, Market Access worked like a charm.
When using MarketEnable/Access, you need to kill the app and clear cache or else the market will not display paid apps.
Somehow, it stopped working recently, returning a SIM emulation error. Anyone else having this behavior?
Full list of mobile operator codes
The full list of mobile operator codes on wikipedia:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_country_code
To get a code for use with MarketAccess combine both MCC and MNC.
Example: to set Vodafone Spain take MCC (214) + MNC(01) = 21401.
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

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.

Same for me, cant find it in belgium, tried to download market enabler and it doesnt work either :-s

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.

Darn it. Im in South Africa, and just received my xoom wifi. and find out that we dont have access to paid apps, and because there is no carrier associated with the wifi xoom, i cant even spoof a US carrier with market enabler.
i figured that it must have something to do with the fact that my IP address indicates im in South Africa.
so i need help in Spoofing my IP address.
i have found an app which i havent tested that can make android connect through a proxy. i just need a proxy....
hope it works
hi,
I have the same problem. Can you tell me what is the app you mentioned?
What about Amazon app store?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
the app is called proxy settings
https://market.android.com/details?id=org.credil.proxysettings&feature=search_result
I managed to get the proxies working as per this list http://hidemyass.com/proxy-list/search-278
I can now see paid apps but can't download apps even the free ones. I guess its the choice of proxy. I need a fairly robust one.
Hi, i live in Costa Rica and had the same problems with the market, this tip someone posted on amazon worked for the free apps , paid apps are still a problem.
"TURN OFF WEBSITE LOCATION
For those of us who are in another country or in a US Territory. Certain apps (in fact the majority of them) in the Android market will not allow you to download. You get a message such as "Cannot be donwloaded due to carrier" or something to that affect. What you have to do is go into the browser and in the right corner click the internet icon (looks like a piece of paper). Select internet settings and look for location settings. TURN LOCATION OFF. That is all you have to do. Then go back into the App store and begin your download. You can also do this for google books so it will work."
Hope it helps....
wish it had worked for me. I removed all location services in the browser and the system and it still magically found me to be in south africa.
Guess its back to finding a robust proxy
I was able to buy and then install the tablet keyboard on my xoom..

So market enabler worked. U can download paid apps but they will not be listed in the market and you will have to search for them.
At least it works
But did u root it to use market enabler?

yes you have to root it. though rooting with tiamat sd card hack gave me major market install issues..... so i had to root and remove the tiamat kernel
And how did u do that?
U can replace the kernel after rooting with no problem at all?
The Tiamat kernel is not needed to root =O?
What I did to get paid apps onto my unrooted Wifi Xoom, was to use MarketEnabler to download them to my rooted phone, then use Titanium Backup to extract the apk, and then transferred the apk to my Xoom, and then some guy named Bob called me claiming to be my uncle.

Hey,
I'm running the cognition 2.3.4 rom and i have the newest market. One issue i have is i can't see some of the apps i have purchased in the market (Marine US east for example). I also can't find apps like onstar my link.
I've tried the market enablers to no avail.
Any tips would be great.
Thanks
Return to the older market version and use Market Enabler. I had the same problem with the new Market and solved it this way.
Backup build.prop
Open build.prop and change every line from 2.3.4 to 2.3.3 and XXKG1 to XWKE7. Save and reboot. Install desired appas then just restore build.prop
Unfortunately this looks like Google have tightened up on the region restrictions. I can no longer buy apps at all with the new market, or via the market.android.com.
From what I can tell, google is checking the country that your payment method is registered too, as opposed to the region that your phone is set to with MarketEnabler
I can still buy on my tab with the old market, anyone know if there is a way to block the update to the new market when Google decides to role it out?
I'm running 2.3.4 cognition rom and I could not even see Visidon applock that I read about on this forum, on 2.33 I could....very strange...fortunaly I found the apk here on the forum
Any fix for this so I can download everything?
I had the same problem with call recorder. I contacted killer mobiles who said it was a market problem. Market replied that the app had copy- protection thing on it. I contacted killer mobs again and they wanted my ime number and market purchase number to activate my app as bought. My app, before, did not show up as bought and I had to search for it and was shown as a trial. Perhaps you could ask the app makers is this the problem. This was with the old market. Also, the new market is in my opinion, bloatware; full of photos and such. I've gone over to 1mobile market which I find good. I did try to replace the new market with the old vending.apk but it kept changing back on a reboot.

It seems no matter what rom (2.3.3 or 2.3.4) i can't get the Marine: US East app to show up. This also doesn't depend on the markt i'm using. I Just turned on my atrix, installed 2.3.4 on it and the market auto updated and sure enough the app showed up in the list.
Now i think this might be a location issue. I'm on AT&T here in the states, but i feel like maybe the phone thinks that i'm in europe or something(if that's possible).
If anyone has any tips i would greatly appreciate it!

Even on stock on the stock rom i didn't even see the apps.
I just edited the build prop changing everything i could think that would mess with the market and i still can't get some things to show up
Well i thought i'd keep people updated on this cause it was driving me crazy.
I couldn't get Marine: US East to show up, so i emailed them. One of their suggestions was my market was blocking copy protected apps. So i googled that and found that google needs to update their fingerprint data base to allow specific phone firmwares to access it.
one way to tell if your phone can see copy protected apps is to search for "Topmarkettest" and if you see the copy protection app then that means you can see copy protected apps.
I solved this (as mentioned in an earlier post but apparently i'm a block of cheese) by just changing the fingerprint in the buildprop file.
