I start up playnow to look for apps and theres like 5/6 apps showing at a time. Isn't this supposed to be sony's own app store? Anyone else notice this or is just my phone that shows a small amount of apps you can buy?

Some apps i have on my phone i haven't got via the Android Market, lots ive got have been apk's ive got on XDA,etc,etc, what im wondering is, seen as i didn't get these apps from the market if i linked the selected apps to the market through the market doctor what is that supposed to do?
I have the Paddy Power app and Betfair app which were were initially on the Android market but for some bizzare reason Android market decided no betting apps were to be allowed to took them off the market so i went elsewhere and downloaded them and installed via root explorer, there are a couple of paid apps i also downloaded for free not something i usually do but whoever created these apps was taking the p*ss with the price they were charging so i refuse to pay over the odds for an app, taking all this into consideration what (if any) advantage would i have by linking these to the market and more's to the point considering i didn't get any of these particular apps from the market would the apps in question still link to the market?
anyone any ideas?
I would like to know how this goes too since I use SlideME Marketplace for some of my apps, it would be handy if it could all go under the Android marketplace for updating.
Isn't there anyone else with apps on their GS2 that they didn't get from the Android market that they might want to link to the market but are wondering the same?
Does everyone else's. Google play only show a limited amount of apps? When I go into the the market there is not very many apps that show up I'm guessing it only shows tablet apps?
No it shows all apps available. Might be your country.

When navigating through google play, you can view top free, new top free, top paid, new top paid, grossing and separate categories.
Google play has hundreds of thousands of apps.
Through navigation, you can only see probably under 500 total apps. Something like top free only displaying up to 90 results, new top free 80 results (most are even the same as in top free), etc.
Some apps are really good even if theyre not popular. How can I get to browse through those apps? Basically, the only way I know that you can find all the apps in google play is searching for them by tags, but thats not good if you just want to browse and have no idea of what app youre looking for.

theres an app called appreciate in google play which helps you discover new apps and it even learns what you like and show apps which may be interesting to you:laugh:
So basically I have to download another app to be able to browse more apps? I've tried that before, but the problem is, those apps dont know whats compatible with SGY. It just shows all the apps, which are mostly incompatible with our phone
Hi all,
I keep getting ad notifications popping up. Sometimes they're links that take me to a web page then to the G Play store for "Candy crush saga", other times they're survey questions like "Do you want an iphone 5?". I've run a few apps that look for adware, and also long-pressed on one or two when I could, and both point me to the Network app, which looks to me like the Android-native network service (it has an icon that looks like 4 or 5 bars of increasing height, kinda like you'd see for a wifi service). Is this just something I get for buying a piece of Google hardware? Or, is there some way to stop this annoying behavior w/o having to put a whole new ROM on there?
Thanks.
I use to get these mid-video on the Funimation app — it was incredibly annoying. I finally got rid of it by rooting my devices (Nexus 7 and 4) and installing AdAway (system level adblocker) from the f-droid appstore. So, no special ROM, but rooting was needed.

You can also disable notifications from certain apps. I've never gotten ads from the native ROM, its something you installed. I believe they'd apepar to come from the Network app anyway, even if they didn't. Find out what apps you installed are ad related.

I would disable the Network app's notification permissions. If it is a system app, this really shouldn't impact its performance (unless you prize the "Open Wi-Fi networks" notification. Even then though, I'm a little concerned that you have a network app. Can you give us the full name of the app and tell us what buttons are available from App Info (e.g. Force stop, Uninstall, Uninstall updates, Disable, etc.)? I just checked through four or five of my devices, and I don't have a "Network" app on any of them (including on my Nexus 10).
I'm wondering if it's not just some incredibly shady app name.
Thinking of getting one, can anyone show me screen shots or a list of the built in apps.
Does it come with the Google Phone/Calendar apps?
No. It seems to have the standard AOSP stuff but slightly modified.
You will have to install Google stuff yourself. Except for the Play Store of course.
