Android Market - General Questions and Answers

I apologize in advance if this question has been asked before, I checked the forums and didn't find anything related to my question.
Before I left US for deployment 4 weeks ago, I was running stock 2.2 and have access to every app in the market, free or paid. Few days ago, I downloaded and installed the newest cognition mod and since then seems like I can't buy or get certain apps. Pandora radio, beautiful widgets, USAA bank app, etc are not available. I kept getting "the requested item could not be found" message. I can still download a lot of free apps but majority of the apps/themes and esspecially the paid apps that "we" XDA members used, are not available. Is it because I have a rooted phone or different location? I'm new to the android world so I'd appreciate any enlightenment. Thanks.

where are you? if youre out of the us then thats why. i live in australia and i cant get a lot of the apps that i see on here.

I'm near Australia, in the Philippines right now. I was thinking that might be it but I wasn't sure. Thanks!

Install app Market Enabler or Market Access to 'change' your location and have fun .

It worked! Thanks so much!

btw, from my experience, Market Enabler doesn't always work. Whenever you're looking for an item which you can't find on the market, you can come to XDA and ask for the APK. someone might be able to download it for you.
cheers

Root your phone and follow Tute- How to purchase apps from market when you don't have paid apps access to your country on my signature. you can legitimately own any paid application no matter what country you are in and whether market available or not for you.
Actually I want to have that widgets too, but in my country (Vietnam), there's a lot of problems concerned when you apply for a creditcard! So I think it's no luck for me!

Question about downloading .apk

I have one question. If i found aplication that is not free on market but posted online like .apk and I download to pc. After that transfer to my phone via usb then install on it, am i going to be chargred for that app or there is no way that anyone can charge me or know that i have one? Thanks.

No, you will not be charged for it.
I should remind you that this is piracy, which is not encouraged.
arrrg shiver me timbers
only downside also to taking a apk on a torrent or whateve u will rarely get updates...more likely none

Thanks for answers, everything seems to be ok and resonable
Btw any good app for VPN (cisco) does not meter if has to be paid as long that work propertly?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
i am not condoning piracy, but yes it is possible to just download an app from the web. appbrain does a good (but accidental) job of telling you when they need updates. you will need to find another version online though to manually update.
applanet is baisically all this but inside a single app. it is a pirated android market. once again, i dont encourage piracy, niether do i use it.

As someone who develops Android apps - please just go pay for it. We put a lot of effort into making these things and it's only a few dollars. The dollar you just saved was food you just took off someones table.
That said, any Android developer worth his salt should have already implemented the Market License feature. The new license model can remotely validate that your copy is legit and allows the developer to respond how they choose.
In my apps, I lock you out and show a nag screen with a market link... but I know some devs who just quietly phone home with your device ID and phone number.

creepy....
like i said, pirating isnt the way to go. just because i told you how doesnt mean i want you to.
That was basic questions and i do support you guys so please do not accuse me of anything right away, but no one answered question above.

Bank of America latest update...

Does anyone have a link to install this on the Xoom?
Can't find it in the market...probably not optimized for the Xoom, however I really prefer the online site through the browser...IMHO mobile versions are much less easy to use.
Upadate 6/7/11: I've installed this app and I like it!
Thanks!
The latest update is really nice. I hope it is made available for the Xoom.
here is the latest version. it works fine for me on HC3.1
You are the man!
And also thanks for the awesome guide for perm root and s_off on the Thunderboomer!

Uhmmm,,seriously, this software will access/connect to your bank account, would it be wise to download the app directly from Market or Bofa.com instead of someone from here . It's just like "hey we've been online buddy and look how long I've been in this forum, give me your online id/pwd of your online banking account"

Anyone interested in a collection of Alt Markets?

I have around 15 alternate markets. Most are Asian markets. I was thinking of providing a download link to the zipped files of markets I have but I wanted to inquire first if providing a collection of markets available for download is against forum rule? I certainly dont want to get into trouble with the forum and or be banned, which is why I am asking before hand. Can anyone inform if this is okay to do?
I think the ones wich offer paid apps for free like applanet and blackmart are illegal and not allowed on the forum. But for example slide me market and amazon app store are okay.

I am aware of those particular moarkets and those are specifically for that reason not listed in the collection. Just a small list of what markets are in the collection:
GoAPK
G-Gee (Japanese Games only market)
HiAPK
159.com market
Gfan
Nduoa
StarAndroid
AppChina
3GYU
This isnt all of them, but do any of these markets break forum rules to anyones knowledge? Oh, and thank you for getting back to me on the first post.
sorry but i dont know anyone of these markets^^

I will give it 24 hours and if either no one lets me know on these or sooner if someone gives me the okay I will post the download link in the first post. It will be a zipped file, just extract using astro file explorer or root explerer (i use root explorer) and then you will have the apk for the markets.
Sounds good to me I'd like to have a look

So many markets, but can anyone say some REAL good stuff I would use it for? I mean aside from JP rpgs or so which I cant read, not sure what stuff I am missing out on?
So long as its not piracy markets, like forementioned I dont see what harm it could do.
