Question about Android Market on the Arc - Xperia Arc General

When I was using my GS 2 for a bit I installed the official Amazon shopping app. When I moved back to the Arc I could find no sign of it and I cannot think why it isn't available for the Arc. It made me wonder how many other apps do not appear for the Arc for some reason?
Both handsets are UK versions and both are running 2.3.3 so is this something to do with SE having their own channel in the market?

I'm having the same problem with my Xperia arc,
Some say the problem is from Google side, and the reason is to re-arrange the Market again

Do you mean Google need to rearrange the market again or its because they have rearranged the market?

I can't get a lot of official Google apps, like latest version of Maps. I'm new to Android so I have no idea whether it's a regional thing (Israel) or whether it depends on the device.

Some of the limits are indeed a legional thing, but I think some of it is limited by your service provider for a specific device...

You can use the US market only if you root your device and install the market unlock

Well both my Arc & GS 2 were SIM free and running on the same network so it seems more likely it is some other reason in my case?

The limitation isn't by your service provider it's by regions
Because Google has create a separate market content for each region

the arc i had came with whatsapp pre-installed, the SE tab in the market says free but when you search for it or look under popular it is a paid for app! could this be a bug?

Maybe the Amazon app is compatible with your GS 2, but not the Arc? It could be that simple...

证据?视频? 请
Evidence? Video? Please.
Lolz, but really in my opinion.
China can make any phone 10 times better, but they might get sued for it.
And if this is true I am buying one from China.
I saw those news too.
And that was confirmed by other people that no mt is provided and the phone can not be rooted and there exists no difference on the internal apps.
It seems that this update is only for restricting us from rooting

WTF!!! There are ads in Track ID software

Hello fellow XDAinans.
Today I found out that there are ads which are displayed at the bottom of the search page in the Track ID software which is provided by Sony Ericsson.
First of all we have paid premium prices for the phone and software that comes with it, and SE 'business men' make more money by introducing annoying adds in Track ID software. That is pure consumer exploitation. This didn't happen before the .435 update
I will be contacting the customer care ASAP and will provide an update.
why don't you use ads free from market, I got rid of all the ads on any app
haven't used trackid though
Never used any software provided by SE. Rooted my x10 n removed all the Official crap provided by SE.

Ah well... Anyway I used Shazam before (that was on the context that I didn't know TrackID was available in X10 too), and I don't find any difference. And since TrackID isn't deletable, I removed Shazam instead.

Will check this link that you have provided. Thanks for your reply, appreciate it!
try this: https://market.android.com/details?id=ch.racic.android.marketenabler&feature=search_result
With your phone being rooted, you can use this to select your android market country/network to be different to what it actually is. I used it on the X10 but haven't tried on the arc, so it's worth giving it a go and feeding back to us...

I got it from the Play store too.
But I had to use Market Enabler to change my carrier as it didn't show up with a Thai sim card in the phone.
I set it to Telstra and it showed up for me.
Would you please upload the APK if its not paid?

This might need updating.
Download market enabler and change settings.
I just downloaded Google earth. Even music hub and other apps work now.
Thanks a ton Richlum: )
Just out of curiosity: does anyone know why apps like earth is blocked in some countrys? Is it because of the countrys being blocked, some weird export law or just someone at Google rolling the yes/no dice?

This is more related to google policy of application distribution by developers and google has provided a detailed list of the countries supported here:https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=138294
nothing to do with government blocking i guess...
Use APK downloader add-on for Chrome and download any app from Play store.
