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
market enabler
then post there settings that are default then we could custom fake them

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.

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.

Hey guys i'm using a HTC Polaris with ION build. After tested a tattoo build i suffer from the same problem. For me there are also FREE Apps not showing! for example shopsavvy! is this shown in your market?
Thanks
P.S. I also used Market enabler without any effect!
So it's finally out. What do you guys think? Is this the end of Appbrain? I loved appbrain cause I can browse the apps on the website and then just click install from there and it will automatically install on the phone. Now this can do it too!
The biggest upside to this? You can install (after you pay) "in-app" purchase app from the website. e.g. you can install the NBA League Pass from the website directly. Any other features I missed?
This is from Google themselves, not me.
https://market.android.com/
Cool. I like it.
I never really got into appbrain, because it still involved that extra step of opening the application itself.. and blah.. I think, I can't even remember. It just seemed tedious at the time to go onto the computer when it was quicker on my phone.
Then when Google does it, I'm all over it. I have been installing random applications just to install them. Why is this so awesome?!
I played with it for a while now and everything seems to be working well. I guess I can save some space by uninstalling appbrain and use this instead.
sweet jesus!
I'm like'n it...good stuff!
The automatic OTA install is working to my N1 and my Galaxy Tab now, it wasn't earlier this morning.
Works well!
With this new website comes another big change that will happen in the 3rd quarter of this year: NO MORE "LITE" version apps.

That's actually a good thing. You download the "free" application, and then if you decide to unlock it you buy the key from within the app rather than a separate unlocker application, or having the market cluttered with 2 separate versions.
Sounds like a plan!
The in-app purchasing as a general concept I'm not a massive fan off as it has the potential to lead to nickle & diming, primarily for games, but if used responsibly it should be good.
Wow, about time. Glad to see it's finally here.
now all they need to do is let you backup your app data. I dont want to lose my angry birds scores everytime i switch roms and forget to back it up with titamium backup
Well, I don't suppose there's a way for Market Enabler to work on the website?
It lists paid apps from all over the world, but it knows your phone's carrier and will prevent installs if your country does not support it..
I guess it's back to Market Enabler on the phone.
Anyone else having trouble actually buying apps from the website? Installing free apps works like a charm, but trying to purchase and install paid apps doesn't work. I press continue and _nothing_ happens.
running CM7 nightlies and the OTA installs are not working...
According to the website, you need to be logged into GTalk, only my GTalk won't log in. GTalk also appears to be missing from the market, so the problem may be on their end...

Doesn't work for me, it's been years and Android Market still doesn't support Google Apps accounts for Checkout. Although I can login, no devices are listed under "my devices" on market.android.com
I'm running CM7 Nightlies as well, I'm a few behind though, and I'm always logged into GTalk and the OTA's are not working for me either.
It's not working here on MM v.20. I've tried installing several apps but nothing happens on the phone end, the GTalk solution they give also doesn't help. Weird thing is they all show up on my app list as completed when none of them have actually installed.

I'm having the same issue. I'm running CM6.1 kangorama's version and the install says it has worked on the website, but nothing changes on the phone itself.
I'm wondering if it has to do with it being a rooted device without a stock rom?

I'm using the old version of it, was 1.2.6 or something like that, can't remember.
I don't know how to update (or auto-update) but since the old one doesn't give me any problem, I won't bother install new one.
mine auto updated last night.
Mine auto updated last night, and it caught me by surprise. It took me a second to realize what had happened. I can't say I'm a big fan of it so far, but maybe it will grow on me.
New market didn't work for me, I installed the apk over the old market and some things weren't available, like google earth, so I uninstalled the update and everythings back and available.
Not sure if anyone else is having problems with the new version
Mine just auto updated, I like it although it does seem a little cluttered. maybe that is becuase it is not for a screen this big?

Issue I have with the new market is blocking of apps other then google. Example being Net Swiss Tool which is an excellent network PD tool. Also textwarrior. Neither of these can be installed with the new market but can be with the old. Found this out when I was doing a emmc dual boot config using CM nightly and was reinstalling things. No I had not done a backup. With the new market I could not install these two apps. I got the old market app out of the gapps zip file and installed. Could then install the apps that I could not with the new market.
neither of these apps make use of anything like GPS so am not sure why the new market will not let you install.
At least I was able to install the old market. The apps both run fine by the way.

That's funny too in that the apps that weren't available in the new market work great after having gotten them from the old market. Especially when you consider a couple apps I picked up in the new market don't fill the screen on my nook, aren't compatible!

I think that has more to do with when you originally downloaded them, not what version of the market you are using. Google made the market "device aware" about a month ago.
I'm not particularly impressed with the new market -- I liked the previous version better.
I've also noticed that the new market doesn't let me install some apps like the old market did. For example - the FBReader app - it reports as not being compatible in the new market, but the old market it does show as compatible. Not sure why. I know I have my build.prop set to "htc" so the Netflix works -- but that doesn't explain why some apps are showing incompatible in the new app versus the old.
I found quite a few like that, actually. So much so, I uninstalled the market update and went back to the old green market.

Not true -- I tried downloading FBReader for the first time yesterday. New Market wouldn't let me - so I uninstalled the new market, and the old market let me just fine. I saw this behavior across a few apps in the new market - so nixed its update and went back to the old, green market.

I agree with wifflepig, as I've had my nc for only two weeks. (god I love this thing!!)
That suggests that the new market app itself is device aware and the old one was not, or not completely. Going directly to the market website while logged in on your PC will show the FB app as not compatible. The website won't let you set it up for a download either. I have a pending request with Google for more info but so far no answer. The first response was to contact the developer for the FB app, so I wrote them back and told them I used FB as an example. Clearly they did not really read my original email and I could see in the response that their filters picked up key words to formulate the response. I suspect "Brian" was a bot....
Has anyone else had the problem where you're browsing the market on your a500, click to download an app, and it simply doesn't download?
About 70% of the time (conservative estimate) the "taskbar" shows that an app is downloading, but the "My Apps" panel in the market doesn't show that download. If I leave it alone, the taskbar reports that the download completed, but I don't see the app anywhere. I also noticed that if I'm browsing the market on my PC and I send an app to be downloaded on my tablet, if the "My Apps" panel isn't open on the tablet, the app will not download.
I'm running the stock OTA 3.1 ROM.
I get that a lot. I am forced to hit back and then select install or download the app a 2nd time. Not sure why.
I have always had this same problem ,even after updates from the Market. I hate the Market. It turns into a major thing just trying to download anything. It's very frustrating and takes 10 minutes of trying, trying again, cussing, connection time outs. Its pretty bad when we have a Android device and its a Android market and they still can't get it right. Maybe it's a Honeycomb thing? Maybe they should call apple and get some advice?

My issues seems to be that when I try to pull down an app, it tells me that it is unable to purchase. And suggestions?
I've had that a few times where I couldn't purchase an app. I found that purchasing through the online market works fine and auto-installs into the right device. It might have something to do with the lack of phone and IMEI number; could be wrong though.
Also, buying stuff with my phone then installing on my tablet works fine.
Go to settings applications Tonto market app then clear . Simple fix. Simple fix
Tried all this stuff still dont work
So i tried all this stuff and it still wont even download anymore it just FC when i click the my apps button FC this is really annoying. Went to market on pc it even says the app is installed on my device and it is soooooo not. Saw on another thread someone said Google was blacklisting users they know are rooted which i think is just dumb and dont believe, who cares what we do to the device we are still running android and want to purchase apps from the store. super lame well gonna try few other things then guess reinstall rom and kernel and see if that helps thank got for titanium backup
Today, around 5:00pm CST, I found that I could no longer update or find many of my installed apps. This has happened several times in the past, usually after installing a new custom ROM. I am currently on Simple Streak 1.2 with PerfUpdate.
I tried all of the "tricks" I know to get it to work. Cleared the cache and data in the Market app. I use v2.3.6 of the Market, so I installed the latest v3.4.4. All installed apps showed up but nearly all of the PAID apps said "not compatible". I also changed the fingerprint in build.prop. NOTHING WORKED!
I called Google Market Help tonight and after 20 minutes of clearing data and cache in Market app, Un-mounting and re-mounting sd card, and explaining to the tech that I have never been able to send apps from the Market to my Streak when logged into the Market on my PC, the tech put me on hold for 2-3 minutes. When he returned, he asked if my device was rooted and if it had a non-stock ROM. I answered yes to both. He then told me that Google has locked me out of my PAID apps because I have violated the Market policy by rooting and modifying the ROM in my device. He went on to say that "ROM developers put malicious code in their ROMs" and for that reason I was locked out of my PAID apps. He told me that I would be able to access my paid apps if I re-install the stock ROM and do not re-root the device.
I pointed out that there are numerous apps sold in the Market that are specifically for rooted devices or for rooting devices. He said this is true as Google does not limit the content of the apps. Only the access to the Market following purchase of those apps. I told him if I wanted a locked down device that I would have purchased an iPhone.
I have not changed my ROM since the day Simple Streak v1.2 was released. He said they finally caught up with me today. I guess I am a Rooted Android Criminal!!!
Since speaking with him, I have discovered many of my purchased apps are "no longer compatible or not found" as are a few of the free apps, primarily any free app dealing with rooting the device such as Root Explorer, Lookout Security, and Handcent SMS. Paid apps include Kaiten Mail, 3g Watchdog Pro, Visual Voicemail Plus.
I tried restoring a Nandroid backup from yesterday before the problem started but it didn't help.
I'm wondering if I just install the DSC Gingerbread Rom instead of the "Original Stock ROM", would the Market work? Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. I also asked if installing apps from Amazon would cause this problem. He said "it shouldn't." He didn't say "NO." Could this be Google tightening up things to increase Market sales and shut out Amazon? Just speculating.
I am also curious if anyone else is having this difficulty. Either with a Streak 5 or any other Android device. Seems Big Bother is Watching!!!

I don't dispute that. The problem seems to be that they ARE doing that. I wonder what % of Android devices are rooted and what % have a custom ROM?
If I can't use the Market, I will have to get the updates and new apps somewhere else. The developers are the ones that will take the financial hit for this policy. That's too bad. The weird part is that I am locked out of my PAID apps, not very many of the free ones. That doesn't make any sense. I'm being punished for supporting the developers?!!!
kraz
If I remember correctly LA for devs states that Google can freely remove/limit access for published apps.
--
Have you only one Android device to check whether device or full account is locked?
--
Anyway, i'd feel absolutely clean using pirated, but previously paid for apps.
But just to get more paranoid - more and more people use Google services. For business too. Time to rethink "let's move it to cloud" strategy and move data you really need access everytime and everywhere to own file/mail solutions?
According to the tech, my device is locked out until I re-install the "Original Stock ROM from the Manufacturer". He said I would then get full access again and I will be able to update the ROM to "any newer Stock ROMs released by the original manufacturer."
Personally, I'm not convinced it isn't because of the few Amazon apps I have installed.

@_n0p_
Would changing the fingerprint in build prop to something new, open the Market? If so, would you PM me the fingerprint line from the DSC ROM? Thank you!
kraz
It would be a major pain, but you could make a nandroid backup of your current setup, then install a stock rom (preferably 407, since you wouldn't need to change baseband), set it up minimally (basically just go through the initial setup with your google account), and make a nandroid of it. Verify that market works in the stock rom, then switch via nandroid restore. My guess would be that Google is only randomly spot checking and you could go possibly months before being "kicked" again. When that happens, make another nandroid backup (to be current), then restore the stock nandroid backup, check the market, and restore back. The downside is about 20 minutes of your time each time you get kicked. I searched the internet for similar cases to yours and thankfully couldn't find much. Almost all results were related to renting movies and had nothing to do with apps.
I'm running DSC and here is the fingerprint:
ro.build.fingerprint=google/sojua/crespo:2.3.6/GRK39C/178324:user/release-keys
I was trying to figure out why would google care what rom we have installed, rooted or not. I guess they don't like that we can remove advertising on the free software. diane
Thanks to _n0p_ and lordmorphous for the DSC fingerprint.
Unfortunately, it didn't work. However, more of my paid apps are accessible today. I have no idea why that would change. The remaining apps that I have already paid for will have to get updated through a black market site. I have already paid for them so I don't feel guilty about updating that way. Also, I have contacted several of the devs and they are willing to send me the updates directly as I have helped them beta test in the past.
Thanks to all for your suggestions and help!

On topic, what Google are doing is shocking. I have not rooted since adb does all I want to do, but I think that locking people out of their paid apps is a horrible move.
Are you running any custom DPI? I am guessing that may more to do with this.

Yes, for the past 14 months! But that has nothing to do with this problem. As I said in my OP, Google Market Help tech said in a phone conversation that I have been locked out of my paid apps because my device is rooted and has a custom ROM. The Market worked perfectly until 5pm yesterday. Nothing on my device changed to create this problem. The tech said Google wants to tighten things up as they are convinced that rooted and custom ROM'd devices are the source of the viruses in the Market. He said, "Developers of custom ROMs intentionally put malicious code in their ROMs."
This problem isn't the same problem we had when we were first using DJ Steve's ROMs in 2010. That was due to fingerprint and screen density issues.

I ran into the "app not compatible" issue after playing around with build.prop and some wifi settings. I did some searching and it appears all you usually need to do is clear the data and cache of "Google Services Framework".
Go to settings)applications)manage applications)all)google services framework,
clear both,
go back to market and give it a few seconds to a minute to populate your apps and try to update.

If that worked, do you have a non-standard dpi?
If you did then it's (likely) simply a combination of:
1) Service rep spouting FUD
2) The way the market works now
The pro version (seems) to only include a link to a modified version of the market with dpi checking dummied out.
My preferred dpi is 200. HOWEVER, I changed my dpi with Blade Buddy to standard 160 and it still didn't work. Using LCD Density Modder with 160 made ALL my installed apps visible AND, more importantly, compatible to upgrade to my Streak. My Streak remains at 200dpi when I leave the Market and return to Home Screen and other apps.
Trust me, this is no placebo! It really works. Some of my apps have been unable to upgrade to the next release since I first used DJ Steves StreakDroid 1.46 custom Froyo 12/2010!!!
As for service rep spouting FUD....I prefer to call it spouting BS!

Saw that and did that. All it did was make EVERY one of my free apps disappear from the My Apps Market list. And the paid apps ALL became incompatible. I was better off before I tried this technique.
