heres the scenario elaborated as my experience goes:
I am an Android User in China,(Milestone) therefore I dont have access to paid apps in the android market.
I use Market Enabler whenever I open the market app so that I can see and buy paid apps. I can see paid apps under the "Just in" tab but there is no "Top paid" tab, only "Top free".
My question is, has anyone got any info as to where the Market Checks to allow the showing/hiding of the "Top Paid" tab as MarketEnabler is obviously not fixing this.
Any help would be deeply appreciated!
Same issue of no top paid tab
I'm running MIUI and market app is missing top paid app

Hi,
I just recently got my Samsung Captivate and am running on the Rogers network in Canada.
When I go to the downloads section of the market the following apps aren't listed even though they are installed:
Street View
Maps
Movies
Vlingo Voice
Layar
Furthermore, if I search for them in the Market and go to their page it shows the "Install" button as if they aren't installed.
However, under Manage and Sync in AppBrain it lists those applications and shows them as having updates. When I start the apps on my phone and compare the version I have installed with the update version listed in AppBrain sure enough the AppBrain listed version is more recent.
How come these apps don't show up as installed in the Market?
Will I wreck something if I update them through AppBrain?
Thanks!
Has anyone else noticed that the Amazon AppStore seems to be cheaper than the Android (Google) Market? Apart from offering a free paid app every day, some apps seem to be less expensive. Another advantage that I noticed is that it's all in US$ and not converted from € or £; this is great because then I don't have to pay foreign transaction fees!
Only disadvantage is that you have to keep an eye on two different market places...
Shame it's not available in the UK - We can view but can't even get the free app of the day - says theservice is not available in your country...

I know that the MarketEnabler app works for the standard android market (for root devices), but does it also work for Amazon's store? or does it pull country ID a different way?
On the Amazon AppStore, Amazon gets to adjust an app's price around. App developers are guaranteed a minimum amount of money (so when one of the apps are free for a day, Amazon is literally just paying the developer for each download!) for paid apps, but Amazon reserves more control.
Personally, I like the AppStore FAR more than the Android Market... I've never once had an issue with stuff from the AppStore totally ignoring you when you tell it to install/update something (unlike what the Market does for me somewhere from 50-90% of the time).

My Transformer is not rooted - I don't intend to root it... not for some time - it's new so I'm "bedding it in" - see if any problems popup..
Just a shame that a company as large as amazon has not expanded the Android market into all regions yet.. and yet Kindle it appears has taken over the world. LOL
My problem with Amazon:
1. Can't turn off one-click purchase. I have purchased apps accidentally.
2. The only way to "diasble" one-click is to de-authorize the device on Amazon's website
3. Once you de-authorize a device or if you uninstall the Amazon App Store app, you can no longer use the app.
Basically, if you buy an app and then decide down the road that you don't like the amazon appstore (for whatever reason). You pretty much can't uninstall it unless you don't want access to the apps you purchased anymore. I don't think the andorid marketplace functions this way.
I am unsure if the apps even function if you don't have a wireless connection. Maybe someone can clarify this.
Also, if there is a way around this, I'd like to hear it.
As is stands now, I have about 6 paid Amazon apps and have now decided that I don't want to use the amazon appstore due to their no-refunds/can't-turn-off-one-click policy(s). So what do I do now? I am forced to leave the amazon appstore app on my device.

I understand what you are saying but it is exactly the same with Google Market; it's just not that obvious! Your device is linked to your google account and your market account is basically identical with (or part of) your google account. So if you decide you don't want to go with google anymore (which is impossible btw) you would lose all your apps as well. Does that make sense?
Ignore me, I obviously didn't read the first post.....
Hmmm. I was just shocked to see that some apps are also more expensive at amazon... Guess at the end of the day it will be very similar after all.
Hello all,
I rooted my nexus s, everything works fine but android market. If google does this to rooted hones then it's a sick move as they allow us to root our phones and hide major apps from market if you are rooted. DOesn't make sense to me.
But again I am not sure if this was supposed to be like it is.
I ave android market 2.3.6 but ir doesn't list major apps like facebook or any google app. When I try a QR code it says "cannot find link"
Am I missing anything here? I wish to stay rooted with OEM ROM and wonder if there is a way to make my android market work?
Edit :
When I go to web version of market and chose an app, for most of the apps it says "your device's content rating filter is incomptabile"
At the Google Play Store website -- not the app on the phone -- my listing of "My Android Apps" goes up to apps starting with the letter "M". Clicking the ">" doesn't move to the next 'page' like one would think either. It actually starts me over at the beginning.
How do you see the rest of the apps that have been installed at one point or another ?
Also, and I've asked this many times in many places to no avail, how do you permanently remove apps ? Some are apps that aren't compatible with my current phone, for example. Some are (stupid) games my kids have installed (and uninstall so they think I won't know !!). Others still are apps I'm not interested in, i.e. I've probably tried just about every launcher ever released for Android !
Hello, I can only find Hancom Office Viewer. Where are the rest of the programs located?
you must use the Hancom Office Updater to install the Office apps..
Thanks. Where is the updater? Under Magazine MX, there is one with calendar, email and office. I clicked on a circular symbol but there was no reaction. Just heard a beep sound. Clicking the Hancom symbol launched the OfficeViewer only.
I pressed "Office download' on the bottom left of Handcom Office Viewer. A list of Handcom apps showded up with the Install buttons all dimmed. Yet, I can't find the apps except Handcom Office Viewer in my device.
If I recall, I found them under samsung app store. Click categories on the top and then on the left side look for business. They appear within the beginning of the list of business apps for me.

Thanks. Those Hansom related apps on Samsung store are free. Does that mean even people who don't buy the PRO series can get them? As far as I recall, somewhere I read that those available for free are not as good as the corresponding ones that came with the PRO 12.2. Heard anything about that?
No idea.
As far as I know when you add your device to your Samsung account or register with Samsung for an account during the setup of the device then the apps show up as free in the app store for you (the Samsung app store).
I have no idea if those same apps show up as free to everyone else as opposed to showing up free to us because we are on the Pro 12.2.
