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.

you and i my friend are in the same raft
but i have an idea
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.

Shakes his fists at the Google gods! Curse you!
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!
I'm not sure if this is an issue in how my works Wi-Fi is set up and prohibiting me from connecting appropriately or if it's the Market itself.
Anyway I just got my Wi-Fi Xoom in today and immediately went to configure it to get apps and what not. I'm connected to my offices wi-fi and can browse the web, and get applications from Amazon's app store.
:
-- selecting apps to download/install doesn't do anything. The selected app won't show in "My Apps" I can't even get Maps to update.
Then randomly, the apps I have tried to download will somehow show themselves in "My Apps" under downloading, but they don't progress at all.
I've already tried to wipe it, close and wipe data from the market app, all to no avail. I'm really not sure what is going on.
The week prior I was using a colleagues xoom (3g version but 3g disabled), and had a similar problem as well, but eventually I had it working. I was given permission to wipe it and set it up as my own, so I don't know if the settings are messing with it from me using the other xoom with the same google account.
My office uses WPA2 Enterprise with a username and password, and have it set up in my Xoom as
Security: 802.1x EAP
EAP method: PEAP
Phase 2 Auth: None
Then my username and pass to connect.
Just curious... but because you are using the Amazon app store, have you checked the box "install from unknown sources"?
Correct. Since that's what allows for the apps to be installed from Amazon App Store.
Have you either used a file manager or plugged it into the USB on your computer, checked the root>downloads folder for the .apk files?
The only .apk files in there are the amazon app store.
Dunno what the problem could be then since its not a setting, but perhaps its a firewall issue in your office? Have you tried a different wifi connection completely to rule that out?
It is a firewall issue....I ran into the same problem when setting up a xoom in our network...

That's the only possibility I can think of. I've tried to share out my laptops connect see if going through that way would work, but no dice. Then using PdaNet on my iPhone, but won't even discover that network. I'll just have to wait till I get home.
At the apps download screen, try to hit cancel and download again, will that help?

Nope. The apps show the "install" option and then would sometimes go to downloading under "my apps" but then other times it won't do a thing.
Is not a network problem since i try in 3 different networks personals, corporate and tethering from Nexus S via T-mobile, here is a copy from Market help forums since i cant paste links in the forums.
I bougth the Xoom today ans I'm having issues with a lot of market applications. The message is Item not available for your carrier but I'm connecting via hotspot on my android smartphone an all aps are downloading OK. Why the apps work in one device and not in the Xoom if I'm using the same carrier? Please help

70% of the apps don't install in the Android Market or give messages of unsupported carrier.
If the issue you are having relates to your location being in PR.. how would you go about guessing that the OP is from PR as well?

Still waiting to see if the OP posts whether his problem was related to the wifi at his work, or if he is still having issues.. and what his locale would be.
Sorry for the late response as once I got home I was busy playing with my Xoom and then today was actually trying to get some work done .
So it's pretty much resolved at this point.
1) I'm in the states. Northeast to be somewhat exact.
2) Definitely my work's network. As soon as I connected to my home network all of the apps I tried to install at work but weren't showing up, queued right up and got to downloading.
Come in to work today, and try downloading an app. And wouldn't you know it, the damn thing downloaded and installed just fine! It seemed like another one was going to resort back to the results I had yesterday, but tried again and it worked fine. Definitely odd.
Not sure if there was some sort of handshake that wasn't working with my xoom and the Android market while in the office on first use yesterday or what, but things are looking good now.
Thanks for your responses. While nothing was done from what I can see to fix it, I appreciate the help.
i can't seem to install most apps from marketplace, eg angry birds. It prompts me that it cannot be installed in my country (Malaysia) but i was able to download it on my Galaxy S before and i can even download angry birds and other apps on my Samsung Galaxy tab without any issues.

Could someone here help us please...

To access the market in unsupported countries you will have to set up a vpn to connect through. If you connect through an american vpn you will have full market access

hey everybody, major props to all the devs and everyone helping out on xda in general. So the whole "country" issue when it comes to installing apps is the same in dubai. I rooted my a500, installed tor n orbot and got them working with firefox... also installed marketenabler, not exactly sure about how its supposed to work... I long press any of the fake networks and choose the "run now" option. What's the right thing to do next? Total android noobie here and any help would be most appreciated. Thanks guys
If you can compile a small list of apps that you would like to download that are free (or not free if I happen to have them) that you would like to obtain, let me know and i'll place them in my Dropbox for download on here. Since i'll be doing this from my own account, though, try to keep the list to a minimum. So discuss the list amongst yourselves and try to narrow it to no more than 5-10 apps and i'll see what I can do!

Edit:
Something else you can try is www.4shared.com. If you search for apk files you may have pretty decent results too.
I have noticed that the Google Market on Android 3.0 is much more aggressive in enforcing the location limitation :-(
I was able to overcome the limitation and download some US-specific apps by following these steps on an rooted device:
1. run Market Enabler and choose a US carrier
2. make your tab location-blind by going to settings / location & security / uncheck all of the following: "use wireless network", "use GPS" and "use location for Google search"
3. go to Settings / Applications / Manage Applications / All / Market. Click "Force stop" and click "clear data" (AFAIK, no important data will be lost, Market will retrieve the list of installed Apps automatically)
4. Activate US VPN account
5. run Market.
I now can download all types of goodies. Your mileage may vary. HTH.

That's one heck of a generous offer and finally a solution... for some. Btw I think this is the first time this country/appmarket problem has been resolved. No other sound sources for a solution on the internet. You gentlemen r rockstars.
Which makes the persistence of my problem all the more frustrating. How would u suggest I use a U.S. vpn? I tried bestfreevpn since it obviously worked for the last post-er. Nothing happened, app market wouldn't stop 'loading' and internet browsing also stopped working (the telecom big brother in dubai is hitler on steroids, I'm sure they've got every thing to do with this and every other global tragedy). Anything I can do with orbot, tornetwork? Coz I tried accessing the app market thru firefox and it thought my IP was based in germany. I've also created a U.S. based gmail account but that didn't make any diff either.
Again, sorry for the noobieness and thanks.

Exact same thing here. I'm gonna try different vpns. Ill let u know if anything works.
How would I be able to trick the market into thinking I am based in the us? There are a few apps like Google books and even nook is not available for my country. With the phone I can slip in a t mobile similar and problem solved.
I have tried using market enabler but that is a no go.
For me my account is American, was created in the US and is backed by an American card. I don't "miss" any software that users outside the US do. Unfortunately, I live in Mexico. So while I have full access to the US market, it shows me prices in pesos, which pisses me off to no end. Not a huge problem, but annoying.
So to note: My A500 was bought in the US, my market account was made inside the US, with all US information, here in Mexico it works just like when I'm in the US only the prices are in pesos. Dunno how hard it would be to setup an account from outside to US to look like it was inside. Use a VPN while you set it up I suppose, look up some random business address and phone number if it asks for such. As far as buying a tablet in the US, well that'd be harder.

Thanks for replying. So basically I will need to reset from a fresh tablet using a bocom?
Seems like google does not give much love fire non us fans.will try to look for a vpn to find out.
Here's what I did:
Kill the market
Clear the cache
Remove my gmail account
Turn off all the location settings
Turn on airplane mode
Turn on wifi
Run market enabler
Restart market
re-enter my gmail account
Now the market shows me the books tab, and apps allow in-app purchases. None of these were possible before. Hope this helps.

Here's how I always do mine:
a. Root your device and install Market Enabler
b. Remove all synced accounts in your Tablet
c. Go to Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> All -> Market and Clear the data of the Market App
d. Run Market Enabler and choose T-Mobile or Verizon
e. Open the Market App and it should prompt you to login a registered Google Account
h. Once logged in, Market should recognize your A500 as a T-Mobile/Verizon A500
Note that you need to do this every time you reboot your tablet. Additionally, the trick also works for the browser version of the Market (it should list your device as T-Mobile/Verizon registered).
Thanks Will try that, because when i tried it with just the vpn, it did not work. Quick question, have either of you upgraded to the leaked 3.1? because that seems to be "china/taiwan" rom.
I got this working on 3.0.1 and the leaked 3.1 China ROM.
I'm on Picasso custom rom right now but haven't tried it yet as I just changed ROM a few hours ago.
You also mentioned using VPN - no need for that.
Thanks. Got it working, but still cannot see nook, google books, earth and some others.could you see if you can see google books on yours?
The Books link shows up in my Market but does not contain any books on sale.
As for Google Earth, I was able to see and download it before (and Blogger app too). Same thing for other paid games like Dungeon Defenders and Pinball HD that did not show up in my region before. Not sure about Nook as I never looked for it but it should be there.
You can check the browser Market App to see if your Acer A500 is registered to Verizon/T-Mobile. It it's not, it's possible that the hack was not properly executed (items for sale in $ but you are not able to see region-locked apps).
Did you also turn off the location settings (no need to go on airplane mode) as advised by ill_dawg?
I can see the books tab, but not the books app. I am going to try to reboot, clear cache and start from there, turning off all location services and try.
Ok rebooted into recovery cleared cache and also dalvic cache for good measure. Start up, take away all sync apps, clear data on market app. launch market app and can see the google books tab, but still not the app. On the desktop browser, i can see the app, but cannot actually download to device, because it is still not verizon or tmobile. Have you actually got a 3G tablet? Thanks for help Panda, much appreciated.
Omg just Google for Market access.apk; if the device is rooted, u won't experience any problem setting a default location and backing data up.
Hi,
Just an update, I was able to dl Google Books from the Market.
Unfortunately, this method does not seem to work with the Books Market only the Apps Market. Sorry!

Thanks panda. I am still not seeing books on the market. Must be doing something wrong. Market access is just another market enabler, which already does not work for me. It's alright tho, sideloaded the app anyway.
I had seen books on my market...which ussually doesn't appear ....by installin market enabler on my phone and settin it to at&t.....or sprint(for codes look for market enabler codes) and used wifi tethering for internet access on my a500.....and it worked!.....and as a matter of fact price currency didn't change but books was available....so were the other apps which weren't b4.....so....give it a try(don't forget to clear market data).......and FYI....when I then I used regular wifi....books dissapeared!

i read in the moto section some time ago, it was enough to replace the build.prop with Verizon build.prop of xoom, but it didnt work.
so i used a VPN carrier (overplay.net) and instantly i got books and videos access so its for sure testing your origin by ip address.
and it worked with a A500 (PRIMEE!/asus) profile too.. as i tested videos (i just looked at its trailers)
but for me VPN is the only way it works, and if i disconnect vpn, i loose my web videos. i did not check if the books access also got lost as well, but the books remained on my bookshelf.

Anyone help with this annoying problem I'm recently experiencing?
I've never had this problem before, but for no reason (i've not installed any apps recently or changed ROM) I am unable to install apps to my phone via my PC google play browser.
All I get is 'You don't have any devices' - and when I try install an app it says 'You haven't accessed the Google Play Store app (the white shopping bag icon) on your device with this email account.
Clearly I have because I just installed a free game from my phone and I can the see the game installed from the PC play store browser in my apps list.
I have tried forcing the Google Play app to stop and clearing data, logging out of my PC browser and trying again but no luck, I have reinstalled GAPPS and my ROM with a cache/davlic wipe but same results.
All I can think of is because my original email was c......... @googlemail.com and one day it asked me if I wanted c........ @gmail.com and to merge the two accounts together, which I clicked yes to. So when setting my phone up for the first time I use c........ @googlemail.com but then it shows up as c......... @gmail.com when I look at my account settings....
Really annoying problem!!
same issue with Galaxy Note II
No, it's not because of changing email addresses. It has to do with changing ROM.
I changed my ROM from samsung note II, to CM10, and this problem started occurring. I'm also thinking it has something to do with titanium backup breaking market links

Anyone help with this annoying problem I'm recently experiencing?
I've never had this problem before, but for no reason (i've not installed any apps recently or changed ROM) I am unable to install apps to my phone via my PC google play browser.
All I get is 'You don't have any devices' - and when I try install an app it says 'You haven't accessed the Google Play Store app (the white shopping bag icon) on your device with this email account.
Clearly I have because I just installed a free game from my phone and I can the see the game installed from the PC play store browser in my apps list.

I don't know if it's the ROM. I've tried many ROMs on my Nexus 7, Nexus 4, and Galaxy Ace, sometimes even switching everyday of the week and I've never one had this issue.
I'd talk to Google support if I were you. The only thing I have issues with is my device list. It shows two Nexus 7s because my first one died after 7 days and I had to exchange it for a new one, which also activated... and you can't remove devices from your account.
Titanium Backup "market doctor"
Could it be Titanium Backup's market doctor? Perhaps this problem started when I linked all system and user apps to the market.
It also shows a really old nexus 7 that I've sold long ago. Notwithstanding, I can still use Google play on my device without any issue.

I've never used TB market doctor because all of my backups linked properly to the market when I restored them. I would guess that isn't the issue though, because all it does is repair link to the market so apps show up as downloaded and can be updated.
It sounds like it could be an account issue with the email/merging thing you did.
spoke to google
I spoke to google for a long while: while I was not able to to see my phone listed under "my devices" they were able to see it on their end. All I could see was 4 devices that I have long ago stopped using.
They speculate that it could be an error with a recent update to the Play.google.com site....
here is what they recommend:
Uninstall updates to
GOOGLE PLAY SERVICES
GOOGLE SERVICES FRAMEWORK
GOOGLE PLAY STORE
They also asked me to wipe data.
They asked me to reboot - and - now I'm still waiting for the auto play-store update. Currently does not seem to have solved the problem.
Anyone else having these issues?
<<hangouts will require the updated play-store in order to work>>

Go into settings > apps > all, and select Google Play Store
Force stop and clear data.
Then open the play store again on your device and accept the terms and conditions.
Wait 15 minutes or 30 minutes or 1 hour, you will see your device.
