How come some apps are not available via market in some builds?

Hi last few builds ive used cant seem to find apps like paypal or norton security etc.
Ive checked all locations in settings and they seem fine and also set the market as orange UK.
Is there anything else I need to change so they show?
Currently using Beta2 of the Desire HD rom.

Try using Market Enabler

I had the problem with my current build (see sig).
I read somewhere that I needed to install the Eris Market Fix app from the market, which I did but it didn't fix the problem, at least immediately.
Apparently you also need to clear the cache in some occasions too. It's only after clearing the cache that it worked as normal. well at least I think that I cleared the cache, since i emptied the cache folder from within my android folder. give it a try!

Already tried the market enabler. Have just tried that market fix and also cleared cahce and rebooted but still same problem
Thnx for suggestions guys, any more?

Then download your desired app from your computer then transfer it to your pc I think it should work this way

Do you mean transfer it to phone from pc?, yeah obviously that would work but thats besides the point. Im trying to get market to work properly
Besides I cant find what im looking for elsewhere, cant find updated versions of Paypal or Norton anywhere only links to them on market which do not work.
Thnx for suggestion though.

[Q] HTC Wildfire 2.2.1 No Market

I have an HTC Wildfire with Froyo 2.2.1 factory. It did not come with Android Market.
I tried to install the following files that I found linked on XDA but they are force closing:
vending2.2.11-signed
Vending_original_froyo_1.82
com.android.vending_2.2.6
I just found a 2.2.7 and I will try that but does anyone know what I can do?

no root no market
As far as I know, you can not install market without root access. And factory 2.2.1 can not be rooted as of this moment. But soon hopefully we will have root thanks to alpharev devs.
Good luck.

You can install apks without root by using HTC Sync. I put Skype, eBuddy, etc on but I cannot seem to find the right vending.apk that won't keep crashing.

Its really painful to have an android phone without market app. The stock froyo wildfire doesn't even have a file manager. Just after the hard reset, everytime i had to download the "X-plore" file manager from market to access the sd card contents (and even to start installing apk files.)
Ok. U must have added a gmail account to ur wildfire. If not do it. I think in this way if ur phone can be registered on google, then u might have option to remote install apps from PC android market (or) even the android market from your stock browser of wildfire which has htc flash lite [using the same gmail account that is attached to phone]. From browser, just after clicking on the install option, then u will see device compatibility. Here if u can see "wildfire" then it is possible. Just after confirming the installation, ur wildfire starts downloading the requested application (provided wildfire should be connected to internet). If download doesn't start, i think this remote installation requires market application on phone.

APP BRAIN APP MARKET ACCESS:
Ok..... Irrespective of the above android market, u can access the app brain app market and install apps from it. This one also can be accessed from a browser for remote app installation. As the present "app brain" and "fast web installer" apps are available for free in market, im attaching those things for u.
--- First install the below attached AppBrain_App_Market_v6.02.apk file. Then install the below attached Fast_Web_Installer_v2.11.apk" file. Then open the app brain and sign in with appropriate account. Then sync the apps on your phone. Then go to its settings and enable fast web installer. That's all. Now u will have the direct install option from the "app brain" app or from the browser of app brain website.

And one more thing for u. I have extracted "vending.apk" from the system folders of my same stock 2.2.1 wildfire. When opened it replaces the market app on my wildfire.
So it might install the google market app on ur wildfire. Also attaching that file.

Yes you can install apks without root. But you can't install market (vending apk) without root. It is a system file. atleast I could not
I thought for appbrain to work properly you still need market installed on your device. I don't think simply installing vending apk would work. You will get force closes. But you can still try. If you can't get it to work, you can use slideme . You can get it from www.slideme.org. It does not have as many apps as market does but it is a start.
Good luck,

Thanks for the help all.
I will try the extracted Vending apk. If that fails I will go the appBrain route. I did install appBrain but uninstalled it without trying anything. I was committed to getting Market.
It does really suck that they would not give you a way to get Market if your phone did not come with it.

Maybe u r right. Maybe the enabling of fast web installer needs Android market licence agreement. But I think its hard to say these things.
To check this, phone needs to be formatted to remove the google/market account. It will try to check it when I get time.
Hope the vending.apk works

As a last resort you can flash an official WWE rom which has market in it. I believe this can be done with a goldcard.

Ok, i checked some things. I may be wrong, and pls correct me if so.
-- Installation from pc android market is the same as fast web installer. So, it will be like either both work or both doesn't work.
-- I freshly formatted the phone and added the gmail account. But didn't open the market app. That means i didn't accepted the android market terms of service. I think this case is similar to the absence of market application in phone. Now i opened the pc android market and sign in with the same gmail account. I tried to install an app, but the device is not listed in compatibility list. Same with the app brain here. App brain gets installed but fast web installer cannot be enabled.
-- Then i opened the android market and accepted the terms of service. Now i can install apps from pc android market. Also here the fast web installer of app brain can be enabled. Everything works fine.
-- Then what i did is , go to the settings/ applications/manage applications/ , then opened market and uninstalled updates. Also cleared the data. This makes the android market become stock one again. Now when opened, it again asks for terms of service. Now without accepting the terms of service, i tried to install apps from pc android market. And it worked. Also the app brain fast web installation works here.
-- If i again format the device, same thing will be repeated again. I need to accept the terms of service for only the first time to make the fast web install work.
-- And if we change the sim card, we need to re-enter the password of the gmail account again. And till that, fast web installation will not work.
I don't know how to explain these, but maybe google will be having details regarding our phone format.

What i said in post #4 might not work.
And u said u installed apps with HTC sync. Is that ur carrier disabled the installation from unknown sources. If it is the case, OMG u really need a WWE RUU. If its not the case, maybe vending.apk or the WWE RUU solves ur problem.
If ur hboot is 1.01.0002 , then u can go with this process to flash a WWE RUU

I will check hboot. I did try reflashing it with some RUUs and it told me version mismatch, but that RUU had a lower version number.
This is an unlocked phone bought from online. I can install from unknown sources, I just can't seem to install the Vending.apk because they force close.
It would force close when I launch.
Then I try again and it would let me in.
Then it would force close when I search
Then it would let me back in and let me search
Then it would force close when I try to install an app. That is as far as it will go as it will force close everytime I try to install an app.
I will try all this stuff when I get the chance. Right now I am using my Moto Defy which I wish would get Froyo

You get version number error because the firmware on your phone is newer. But If you create a gold card and install the ruu it should work. Just search for gold card tool from klush( I hope I did not misspell it). It is very easy to do.
Then you should be able to flash any official ruu.

Sorry, appbrain just won't work if you don't have the market installed, as AppBrain still lets the market handle all app downloads.

may be u can use 1mobile market beside android market.because it almost cover all application in android market.the good news is yo don't need to register anything to download and install in your wildfire
Device:HTC widfire with Cyanogenmod nightly

[CM7]where's the market?

I 've flash CM7 latest ROM and the google app pack, but my wildfire still doesn't have market

Did you get the correct gapps from here? The universal one...

Yep, but I have not sign in gmail account yet, I don't have wifi and can't access data?how can I access data on CM7?

What data.. mobile internet data ?
If so, go to wireless settings and under mobile networks check whether u have correct access point or not.
If needed u must manually add access point by asking the service provider for settings. Actually the settings will be automatically configured. But check again.
And if u don't get market after adding gmail account, then try to reflash the correct universal cm7 google apps package again.

In the worst case just take your sdcard out of your phone, go to a computer with internet access, download gapps an put in on the root of your sdcard, reboot the phone in recovery and flash the zip.
EDIT: Wait.. you say you have already the latest version of gapps and you.. euhm.. sorry, what is your question exactly?

Now I knew that I don't have market because I didn't sign in Gmail account. But my phone cannot access to mobile data like bharatgaddameedi said. But when I opened access point name in mobile networks, it blank man!Nothing in there,just a black screen.

Press Menu Button there > New APN, and fill out the details as provided by your service operator. Then you will be able to access mobile data (2G / 3G) as expected.

Exactly. That's the best thing according to me.
Service providers will tell that they will send a settings msg and that comes after many many hours sometimes. Sometimes they say that device is not supported. What a joke....? Its better to do things on our own (atleast when they can be done). ---- and only if u have made a nandroid backup of stock rom.

I have another problem... I'm not able to put widgets of different apps on the home screen.....any help with that ??

if the apps are moved to sd card, i think that their widgets don't work, move the apps back on the phone and try.

No, its an Android limitation.

Please help in Htc wildfire not able to download application from android market

Dear Experts,
i am new to this forum, recently i brought htc wildfire but i am unable to download any applications from android market, when i log in android market website it shows no android device found with this id try another id, this is same id which i was entered initial phone setup.
And also i am not able to open android market application in my mobile when i click on this its take some time to loading and immediately close the application.
I try many forums for the solution some people told me to make factory reset i did but same prob no use.
hope.......
regards,

if u're using stock rom it's a bit strange :s did you set your account google ?

Freshly format your phone. During initial setup add gmail account and after setup make sure you enable background data and autosync.
And first you need to use phone market application to download something. If it gives error wait for sometime and download again. Then you can even access market from browser.
And suppose if you format the phone and haven't added gmail account yet, then you cannot use market through browser until you add the account to phone and download atleast an app from phone market (actually accepting to market "terms of service" is enough. It comes for 1st time when you open market).

Did you try to hard reset it? It will work. And make sure after the hard reset you have a WIFI/3G/Edge so you can follow the on-screen instructions and then try to download from the Market. You won't face any problems...

if you have magldr, you could try out one of those SD-ROMs it's much easier to try it out that way & see if it will be the same

Magldr is not the problem. It may be that your gmail account is not authorized for play store. Try to login to the google play store website from a computer and see what happens.

1.The pnone is a second hand

and when i try to install any app it says "You haven't accessed the google play store app on you device with this e-mail account [Learn more]
I've downloaded goog play store app (moded in this forum) and installed it by cliking on it,rebooted my device and i found it on menu,click on it and still needs some ACcount then i click Add account there are 2 choices either Skype or Corporate , if i add skype ,nothing happens if i try with corporate using my gmail account when try to connect it says "Unable to connect to server"

Can anyone please help me?I have no idea what should i do ,i have this increadible phone but still almost impossible to use like 3 days now ;(
Please , please HELP! (If u are going to explain something explain it with more info please!)

i'm tired of reading all kind of stufffs,the solution in most threads i've found is to install gapps with recovery mode and load it from sd card,but unfortunately whatever i try (either with Rom loader to boot into recovery or with the power down button while phone is turning on)i can't get into recovery mode so i can install the damn gapps ;((((((((((((((
CAN anyone PLEASE HELP ME,it's reallyyyyyyyyy frustrating it's been few days and i am stuck with this nonsence that I can't connect my google account with phone so i can start downloading apps from google play store.

My last suggestion is to start from scratch. Use Nand Toolkit to flash magldr and recovery, partitioning the phone and install rom via recovery.

I've found how to load into magldr ,so now when i tried with option 8 , so i can install the gapps.zip
it says "Android RAW load
Error : Invalid boot image header"
Any suggestion?

Try reflashing recovery.

try to reflash recovery and set repartition

would this work in my case :showthread.php?t=1239007
?
Or if u can point me into righ dirrection of how to reflash recovery ?

You can use hd2toolkit to reflash it
1.task29
2.magldr
3.radio
4.set magldr partition
5.flash rom
