[Q] Where did my other purchases go? - G Tablet General

So this AM I had my tablet fairly set up the way i like it. Had Ztab on it, installed the market fix, worked great!
Decided to partition the SD card cause i had some issues with a few FC's i thought might be fixable - so i backed up the SD card and partitioned.
i didnt notice that it said DATA and partition. DOH!
so now i had a nice "fresh" copy of ztab
but I only had 4 items in my market. So after some wrangling i decided to try vegan before re-installing all of my stuff again
So I install that, run through the market fix and now im up to about 8. but im still unable to find weatherbug and fancy widgets...couple other im sure.
do i need to wipe it and start over? I thought that installing a new rom would do that, but market was in the same place i left it on the home screen from ztab when vegan booted.

For some reason it takes running the market fix more than once sometimes. I installed a fresh copy of vegan today and did the fix once and got all my apps. It took me 3 times running the fix 2 days ago to get launcher pro

Yes -- I had to do the Market Fix 3 times as well before I found **most** of what I was looking for...
I think -- for some reason -- it's important to try to start the Market after force stopping the services...It seems to need to "see" the error before it works...
I still haven't been able to find everything (some EA Mobile games are listed, some are not) -- so I'd like to play with the Fingerprint ID but I can't seem to get it to work (yet)
Need to look into it some more...would be nice to have an app to "trick" the Market into thinking it was another device -- then make it easy to switch back later...

Market Connection / Retry Issue

Anyone else getting a connection / retry error when navigating the market?
Yes. Thought it was just me !
Mention your mods, please - that will help all of us out. I've been hearing about Market issues in TnT Lite for the last few days, which is one of the reasons why I pulled it. Also, whether or not you're using data2loop or custom kernels, as these could all be factors. TNTL 4.00 had data2loop built-in. Thanks!
been running 4.0 for days..no problems...tonight tried to go on market and got retry issue. Decided to try vegan tonight anyway...having problems with market there as well
Curious, any of you using 'custom' DNS servers like FreeDNS or google DNS? I was using google DNS and having all sorts of issues w/ market, on both my gTab and Droid, switch DNS back to my ISP and so far no issues for about 2 weeks now.
Hey guys, I was just redoing the market fix on my g-tab, and I thought a messed something up because I was getting this error. The tab was is on Vegan 5.1 (no kernal mod). However, after retrying the market fix a few more times I could not get it to work. I looked at my Eris, and it was down there too. It leads me to believe something is wrong somewhere external to our devices.
I tried vegan tonight and just now finally have access to market but i can find tons of apps but not some of the most basic...dolphin hd i can only find themes...when i search for facebook i get everything but facebook. Hopefully its on googles end.
Hmmm...I just accessed market on my captivate and its finding things fine. I was trying to find launcher pro on my tab and it won't find it. Captivate brought it right up.
I just picked up the tablet 1 days ago. I'm running the enhancement pack. Everything else is stock. Used default recovery. No issues day 1.
I started getting the error after I installed clockwork and repartitioned to 2048 0 AND cleard the various caches today.
Could be a coincidence.

That was the reason I tried the marketplace fix in the first case. I was seeing a ton of apps, but not weather bug or a few other apps that I could find on my Eris. I read that doing the old market fix with whats already in VEGAn should fix it and give all, but I can't tell.
Edit: its back up, but I still am unable to find weatherbug and idk what other apps.
Edit: Edit: Just retried the market fix again, and I am getting the connection error again. Eris is still working
I'm seeing tons of apps...just not the ones i need. No weatherbug,launcherpro,facebook,
The first time i had the market problem i was only seeing a few apps. At first glance it now looks complete but i can't find anything.
Seems like every app i use is not coming up. Craigsphone, weatherbug, facebook, launcherpro, dolphin hd The only two apps i found so far are xda and my jeep wrangler app. Thats it?
Went back to 3.14 last night. Been having the retry issue now.
I did keep hitting retry (5 - 8 times) and get the market to work. I do have to keep hitting the retry button sometimes as I navagate though the market.
I haven't been able to find rock player since last night after my reflash.
maybe the problem is with the market itself?
Okay, I followed the post 2 posts up and kept hitting retry and between error messages trying to navigate the market. I was able to find weatherbug, but I still would like to get the error fixed. Hopefully it will resolve itself soon.

Same thing here, must be something with the market itself.
seems like mine is starting to repopulate. I had to hit retry in the listings just now and there are more showing.
I can't find weather bug.
What fingerprint is in your guide.prop?
running 5.1 Vegan , had the same problem with market error / retry. So did the market fix again and cleared data under market. Now markets working again without the error/retry.

Sorry bout that. I'm on stock 3452.
I did note that market was not FC'ing. Rather, it was getting a server error, so I assumed it was a server error on their end.

I had that come up last night too (Market terms and conditions). I just accepted it but I couldn't find Skyfire or some other apps I knew should be there. I was going to do the market fix again later.
Currently running VeganTab b5.1

Market loads but will not download

Like many around here I picked up a Woot GTab and suffered the soft brick problem where one could not get past the Viewsonic screen on both Cyanogen7 and VEGAn-TAB, I finally was able to use NVFlash to go back to stock and then flash Cyanogen 7 this evening without any issues.
Now, I have (had actually) a working Cyanogen 7 install but the market (even after performing all market fix steps) will not function. I can load up the market normally, I can search and select apps to download, but once I select them for download, the download will hang and nothing will come down.
Out of frustration I flashed the ROM again over to VEGAn-TAB and while the device works fine otherwise, I experienced the same exact problem with the market. So right now I have VEGAn-TAB installed, it works fine, I can browse everything in the app market, but nothing will download. I'm fairly new to rooting (though I did it on the Nook Color with the SDK), but I've exhausted my search-fu on these forums and I'm going to break down and ask for advice. Anybody have suggestions of what to try next?
With the market fix, in the first time sometimes it takes a few minutes. Just let it sit there while you go do something else. After the first time (which could take up to 10 minutes or so), all downloads after should be instantaneous. If you still have a problem, come back and we'll try something else.
PS - You currently do not have full market access. If you want to have full market access, you need to change in build.prop the line ro.something.device=whatever to ro.something.device=olympus. This will give you full access to everything.
Edit.
BTW, please tell us how you are applying the market fix. You need to do specific things in specific order. If you deviate from it, you will not get the right result.
Try to install cm7 or gingervegan and don't do the market fix. Do not restore any system data with Titanium if you are.
Thanks for the responses guys.
I'm at work but I do have my device with me, so I can futz a bit, but not spend a lot of time working on it. I did originally try CM7 and VEGAn-TAB without the market fix, so that's been tried (no system restore either since it's a clean system and there's nothing to restore).
I followed the instructions found here for the market fix. I don't know if this is the "proper order" or not, but it was the link I found. I have also let the system sit for three hours and it continued to sit at the "Download starting" status. This has occurred on both CM and VEGAn-TAB. Is this even the standard market problem? I can see everything in the market, it's just I can't download what I can see.
One thing of note is that I did not change the build.prop the line ro.something.device=whatever to ro.something.device=olympus. I guess I'll go look that up, but as I've never actually changed the code, that's going to take some research. I'm curious though, if this isn't the standard market problem, will this fix it?
cm7 does not require the market fix. If you can get to the market and not download then something is borked on your tab. If you cant find the market then you need to install gapps.
Wait.....did you repartition your tab to anything other than 2048 and 0? If you did then that could be your problem
Here's the order of what I tried.
I installed Clockwork Recovery .8 without any problems.
I tried to flash CM7 and couldn't get past the Viewsonic boot screen.
I tried the same with VEGAn-TAB with the same result.
I read a few threads and discovered I needed to use NVFlash to restore back to stock in order to get a GB Mod to work, which I did.
I then flashed CM7 and DID get past the boot screen and everything loaded up with no issues. At that point I had a 2048 and 0 partition.
I tried to access the Market with no problem, but I couldn't install software so I wiped and installed VEGAn-TAB. This install was also on a 2048 and 0 partition.
The VEGAn-TAB install had the identical problem that the CM7 install had, I could see everything in the market, but couldn't install, so I wiped again back to a 2048 and 0 partition again and reinstalled CM7.
On the second install of CM7 I tried to do the market fix, but without the modification to the build.prop. This didn't do anything.
I repartitioned again to 4096 and 256 (off of the suggestion on another thread I found) and did the market fix (off the instructions I found here) which did involve modifying the build.prop file. Marketplace still functions exactly as it did before.
I can find the market. I can open the market. I can search the market and find all sorts of apps (all of them by the looks of it). I can select apps for download. Once I do so the app will stick at a status of "starting download..." and it will not install, even after letting it sit for three hours (I was in a meeting, it wasn't that big of a deal). On a side note, I can load apps over Windows and then opening the .apk file manually without a problem.
I read somewhere trying another different Google ID, which is about where I am right now, either that or throwing my hands up in frustration.
Its not this hard. If you install cm7 and then gapps it should just work. It doesnt need a market fix or a build.prop change.
You will definitely have problems if you are partitioned at 4096 and 256. 2048 is the only setting that works and android doesnt use swap so 256 is a waste.
Just a stupid question? You are install gapps on your tablet and not trying to install apps through the web market?
Try logging into your Gmail account on your tab before messing with the market
Market fix not the same as you need
There are a lot of suggestions here that do not address your problem: You can open the market, search and find apps, but they will not download....
This has nothing to do with any market fix (where you cannot see or search for specific apps like "Launcher Pro" or "Dolphin HD Browser"...
What I think is happening is the market app is trying to use your Cell Phone for downloading, not your WiFi. (I know that you can connect and see the market over Wifi....) I had the same problem myself after flashing VEGAn Gingerbread + pershoot's latest. Gtab has no cell phone.....
Funny thing is the Amazon market works fine.
My problem seemed to fix itself after a day or so, (after flashing pershoots Froyo overclocking kernal) there is no setting I can find to force the market to use wifi downloading. I cannot say what I did or didn't do.
I'm planning on waiting a day or so, to see if the problem clears up by itself again. If anyone knows a better fix, please post!
Thanks
Im afraid any suggestion that we make at this point won't address any of his problems.

My date and time were OK, I was able to connect and download from another wifi service outside of work. I usually have no problem d'loading apps while on the visitor VPN, but possibly market needs to connect once and then it's fine.
Thanks for your help.
I had the same problem with seemingly every rom I was using. The apps would show up in the market but would stall out while downloading. I tried all the fixes. Tried loading Google talk/voice but still no luck.
I ended up going back to stock with MVflash and starting over.
I'm currently using this rom: http://www.udrom.com/forum/index.php?/files/file/213-gtablet-330/
and really like it. The market shows pretty much everything and I didn't have to do a market fix. The only issue I'm having is that a couple of my apps don't fill the screen completely like mobile banking but I can live with that for now.
Vegan RC1
With the latest Vegan (Gingerbread RC1) it runs flawlessly for me.

Nextbook Next7 and Next6 Custom ROM's

I am hoping to get a custom ROM made for both the Next6 and Next7, so if anyone would like to help here are the factory ROM's.
http://www.multiupload.com/6BY8BVS5BJ---Next7's Factory ROM
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=7V8MNSFI---Next6's Factory ROM
Right now my friend and I are working on making the Next6 have a full read/write partition with permanent root access.
I'm interested. The Next6 is on sale at Big Lots for $149...
I'm looking to pick one up. Please keep m posted!

I just got mine yesterday and subscribed to this thread. Please keep us informed.
Li'm currently counting down the minutes till biglots opens. in a rush to cash my check, and grab my new cheapo tablet, to be home in time to go to my kids dr appointment.
anyone got a full list of specs on the next6?
EDIT: z4root works perfectly. Now I'm waiting on this ota firmware update to download.
It feels sluggish compared to my hd2 but I expected that. But it does render HD video quite nicely. Rooting was a breeze, and if you pick it up at biglots, be sure to splurge 15 extra for an 8gb SD card.
I spoke to the company today because my OTA has been trying to download for 2 days.
Apparently the OTA only changes the Boarder Books to a different carries since Boarders is closed. IT DOES NOT UPGRADE THE FIRMWARE OR OS.
Please let us know of any ROMS available on this device that would be very helpful.

Were you able to get a perminent root with z4root? I could only get a temporary root to work. What tools to use for a perminent solution
Got my next6 a day ago. Thanks all for the BigLots tip.
i think the way the image is stored on the tablet you'll have to flash a rom that is already rooted. Im not very familiar with cooking roms but i know you'll have to use afptool to unpack the image make the changes recreate the crc for the image and repack it.
From what I've been able to glean from frantic web searching, the system partition is cramfs and is read only. Temporary root only.
Also, its possible to access the recovery menu using adb reboot recovery, but its not of much use since the thing only has two dpad buttons.

I am very interested in this also ; I have tried to run some of the next 2 & 3 roms on this device (and they boot) but they don't really work right (IE: the touch screen doesn't work)
hopefully we can get this going!
i've got the rom dumped, just having a spot of bother mounting a cramfs file under ubuntu.
since i've last posted i found out a bit more about the hardware involved, and how its more or less a generic 7 inch rockchip tablet, minus a few buttons, which means a good majority of the work has already been done.

bit of difference is the rkupdater program doesn't work unless you can get the tab into a flasher mode of some sort. However, if you just drop the update.img in the sdcard root and insert the card while the tab is running, it seems to kick into the updater properly.
hold down the right hand arrow
with the Pad turned off hold the right hand arrow to put the tablet into update mode ; then you can use the RKAndroidBatchUpgrade.exe..... (you do need the USB driver - found on the first page of the next2 next3 thread)

thanks. figured out through trial and error if i held both facebuttons and hit the reset while it was plugged up, it'd get into update mode.
your way needs less buttons. still at a loss because while i can dump the update.img and extract it, i cant seem to open up the system.img inside of it.
any suggestions? i pulled it using rkdump.
EDIT: nvm got it, had to pull the system.img from the device separately and add it back to update.img
long story short, i've got market, will be working on root next.

here ya go, (Next6)regular rom + market, still haven't got root worked out quite yet.
is this for the next6 or 7?
Oh I see now this is a rom for a next6
Next6 Base rom for editing
heres a stock copy of update.img with an editable system.img if you feel like adding your own apps or customizing it a bit further.
happy modding
I got one of these bad boys today and its a pretty decent little fellow.
I think with a root and well made custom rom it can really shine.
EDIT, does anyone know a way to change the icons they used? I dont really care for them because they look warped and garrish. I did manage to replace the launcher with launcherPro, "adw would crash and default to a debug launcher".
Also does anyone know how one could update SAM? Can I just reinstall the apk and it replace teh factory installed one? Also is there any better marketplaces than SAM? It seems kinda limited and lacking.
I was wondering if it's possible to upgrade the next6 from 2.1 to 2.2/3~
I'm not requesting it or anything as I personally don't know anything about android or how the next6's rom works.
Thanks
I believe it has to be rooted before you can upgrade the firmware to another version.
Also I have noticed a issue with the custom rom above. I cannot download any apps on the marketplace for some reason. Anyone know how I could clear its cache or reset this device?
EDIT: If I do a "factory reset" though the privacy section in settings, it seems to fix the market. Of course this completely wipes the device, also the market seems to break the same way again, extremely easily.
Basically you can download a few apps, go to the homescreen, then come back to find that you magically cannot download ANY applications. Ive tried killing the market app using the advance task manager, ive tried clearing the markets cache, and even restarting the device. The only thing that works is completely restoring the device. I am hoping that you will be able to fix it, or tell me how to fix it. XD
I installed the following applications. Not sure if this matters, but it seems like market breaks when I make ADW the default launcher.
ADW Launcher
Nook
Also I have a SD card in the unit.
EDIT:
I have rooted out the cause of the problem, changing the default homescreen/launcher seems to screw with market. So while you can install and use another launcher, you CANNOT set it as the default without it screwing up the android market.
EDIT:
Humm, well color me confused, because last night I managed to switch the home launcher without it interfearing with market. But this morning when I booted up the device I could not download any applications. Could it be possible that it is deleting key files when I restart the device?

[Q] Hotboots after installing too many apps?

Hello, I am hoping y'all can tell me if my phone is just bad hardware, or if this is normal. Since installing the update, I've had to factory reset my phone 4 times so far after something triggers hotboots. Every time I try to ID an app or it is involves the SD card, it turns out to not be related when installing the next time after a reset.
Today I installed all of my paid apps from the Google Market, many of my Amazon apps, and then moved everything to SD card without issue. After downloading so many apps, I'd use App2SD Pro to move them over in batches, and log the apps being moved or installed and if they triggered hotboots.
I then started grabbing the free apps that I could remember using from the Market, reboot, and still fine. When I felt I was nearly done and "safe", I decided to move the last 6 apps that could be moved over to my SD card. Upon rebooting, hotboots began. Uninstalling anything that even looks like it loads into memory automatically, plus those 6 apps, has not helped.
I am wondering if I am tripping some counter when I near/exceed 200 apps and that is triggering hotboots until I factory reset. Currently trying to uninstall more apps between hotboots in the hopes that will help. I am suspecting it is Gingerbread, as I did see this on a leaked build, and not on Froyo.
Those last 6 apps were nothing system related. Just NASA, Inotia 3, Kayak, Medieval Empires, Defender, and Elixir 2. Earlier it tripped after installing Android Assistant and Android System Info. Before that it tripped when I added the Amazon shopping, Student, MP3, and Pricewatch apps.
Why so many apps? Just testing some out to see what I like and don't like.
So, is my phone hosed or salvageable? The hardware has been great so far, just software issues under Froyo and I suspect the same with Gingerbread.
And is anyone else able to repeat this issue on their phone?
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Thank you Lufc, I totally spaced when I posted it in the wrong area.
Troubleshooting further (by selectively adding the 50 free apps I own from Amazon), the hotboots do indeed seem to be related to having around 200 apps installed.
Could anyone else please test this theory out and confirm/refute them from your experience?
Haha, I can't even think of having that many apps. what's the point of you installing that many? Do you actually use all of them?
Sent from my SCH-I510 using xda premium
Nah, I really don't use most of them. I just want to see what is out there and test stuff out. Since uninstalling quite a few, I've been stable. Shame I have to uninstall anything when I still have plenty of storage and ram.
I'm having similar problems. Have around 200 apps I like. Not everyday, but occassional. In trying to build an EP4D system using stock or Infinity everything goes bad each time I exceed some fairly large number of app installs. The system is then too unstable to fix and I end up rebuilding.....
I have 195 apps on top of stock ep4d deodexed/debloated that I use a fair bit. I have been totally stable. I should admit that I froze a bunch of stock BS though.
Your hardware is probably fine. You could try stability test from the Market to see if you're hardware seems stable. I personally haven't had any problems with app-whoring so far.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA App
It's hard to get a total number of apps, but counting the bloatware and the number of icons under apps gives me a good approximation. I've been trying and testing, and each time the phone is perfectly fine and stable up until around the 200 mark. Odd that I see this under Gingerbread, but never under Froyo. I wonder if Gingerbread has some little known bug that we are hitting when run on our hardware.
I bet you something is borked that that is unrelated to actual number of apps.
What I would do is:
Install Titanium Backup.
Backup the apps you want. Don't backup stuff like that's included in your ROM of choice like Gmail since you can update that via Market. Just backup the stuff you know is not already installed and that you will want.
One thing that auto-updates no matter what I seem to do on stock/deoxed EP4D is Google books.
When you get all your backups then go ahead and nuke your phone. I suggest using CWM 4.0.1.4 to create a backup image in case you need to restore without having to set up your system.
Install whatever ROM/kernel/etc. you want.
Get Root.
Install Titanium Backup.
After everthing is booted, I usually let the Market update and let the couple few apps that the Market wants to update download.
When you are ready, run a Batch operation with Titanium Backup to restore all your apps. Its your choice whether you want to restore data as well.
Generally, I restore app + data because few of my apps have trouble restoring the data.
Run all your apps to make sure they work. Clear data on apps that don't work.
I suggest clearing data on the Market after you get all your apps working.
Freeze the crap that you don't want running.
See what happens.
I kid you not, I have no nearly 0 problems restoring over 190 apps with a batch operation.
Earlier today my phone, after 2.5 hours of heavy use, started turning itself off within minutes of being booted. Swapped battery, cleared cache, played with wifi settings and 4g, nothing worked. Reset the phone and all is well. Decided to only load apps I actually use, and will follow the steps in the post above later tonight.

Not sure if it's related to number of apps or size of installed apps, but this is a real thing on EP4D. i'm having it happen on Stock, Debloated and Infinity. It occurs at just over 200 apps. Phone works great until one too many batch restores of 5-6 apps and then it will start hotbooting and become uncontrollable. Only thing to do is reinstall. Done it about 5 times now.
In order to get to 200 or so apps (at least the 200 I want), I always end up having to do some Apps2SD movements for Plants vs. Zombies, etc. I actually think the problem is related to that because I installed around 175, dropped all games (which is all I will move to SD) and then batch restored another couple of dozen and it appeared stable for as long as I left it.
Gonna go back, install debloated from scratch and install only what I gotta have. Just tired of messing with it.
I rooted and restored only the bare minimum of what I use, plus a few games. I just don't want to mess with it anymore. I did use Tom's guide to pull off some bloatware (backed up first) and will just leave the phone alone for now. I lose too many hours tweaking every damn program each time, logging in and tweaking settings lost its fun the 5th time I restored.
Applications now listed exactly 100 apps, and I don't want to fight with it anymore. At least not for now.
Kimmie, who thought I had broke it when I rooted last night and did not have data. Glad to see Verizon had a 12 hour or so outage then, and that my phone is fine.
I'm now at about 198 or 199 apps that I installed on EP4D deodexed/deloated using batch (app+data) on Titanium Backup and it works perfect.
Yikes, I wonder if a few more apps is going to put me over the edge.
In this case, I'm thinking you should get some logcats and see if anyone can give you any hints- unfortunately, I don't have much experience with reading logcats, but its worth a shot.
Again, don't know if it's exact number or some combo with how much has been moved to SD. Here's an AppBrain list of what I currently have working. I didn't look so I hope there's nothing TOO embarrassing in there .
I also own an Asus Transformer and here's the AppBrain list of what is on that machine. Obviously I'm basically just trying to make the two match up so I can do whatever I want regardless of which device I have with me.
Somewhere between the two lists is where I start getting the hot loops right after the machine gets to the desktop on a powerup.
For me it is the total number of apps, and not related to moving to SD. I tested this with smaller file size apps as our internal rom is gimped at barely over 1gb. I have Amazon's free app of the day to thank for a wide selection of apps to test.

What steps should I try next to be able to search for apps in the Market

Hello everyone, I am looking for some help and suggestions. Recently the market on my Transformer Tablet has stopped working. I am no longer able to search for any apps. I can browse the market fine but searching for anything will only bring up random books. I have the US version and have had it since the release. I am currently stationed in Japan with the Marines but have not noticed this issue until within the past couple weeks. Originally I was running Revolver 3.11 when this all started happening and then upgraded to 3.11.1. Within the market I can start typing "tita" and the search will bring up "titanium backup" as a suggestion but neither clicking the suggestion nor finishing typing the whole thing myself, will bring up any results. I have tried many apps and games and all produce 0 results. Even apps that I am looking at while browsing will not show up once searched. Here is everything that I have tried to fix this.
First I tried using the online market to install apps. I can find an app through the online market and it even shows my transformer when I choose a device to install it to, but once it says your download will begin shortly nothing happens on my tablet and nothing is ever downloaded.
Then I decided to try clearing the cache and data and force stopping the market. This made no difference. I then tried restarting after clearing it all again and no luck.
Next I thought it could have been an update to the market that broke it so I found some of the older versions and tried installing them. I tried versions 3.3.1.2, 3.4.4, 3.3.11, and 3.2.0 and none of them made a difference.
I then tried the market switcher found within the revolver app and flashed that. After that didn’t work I tried the market enabler app as well as the market unlocker app but still had no difference.
After all of that I started trying different roms. Each time I installed a new rom I would wipe the data/factory reset as well as wipe the cache and dalvic. I first went to an older version of revolver 3.9.5 followed by the Krakd 1.5.2 rom and then Android Revolution HD 2.3.2. Changing the roms did not make any difference. Then I tried using the super wipe flash files from Android Revolution and then installed the roms and it was still a no go.
I also decided to see if it was my internet so I switched to tethering it to my Desire HD. But still no change. On another note, my cell phone as well as my GTab all still have working markets.
Finally the last thing I’ve tried was a fix used for the GTAb here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=861044&highlight=market+fix still nothing as well as the steps found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1411288
I have seen a similar post in the revolver thread but the member seemed to just need a fresh install to fix his but that did not work for me. I have also found a couple posts on other forums with some people having the same issue but there are no solutions. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you very much in advance.
I think the market is blocked in certain countries like China, Japan might be one of them too.
If it is blocked on an ISP level you would need to use a proxy
Hi
Have the same problem. I'm in another country allso. I asked Google for help, and after 13 mails it is still not working. But I have this problem on SGT P-1010 (no 3g) and TF 101 (no 3g). They claim that device cannot determine it's location!
All the time I had absolutly no problem with market on my SGS phone! Even If I try to do anything on Market while both were on wifi, it was all the same. SGS search and purchase yes, tab no.
Browsing, serarching, purchasing on PC and sending on device is working only fpr phone, tab is greyed out "this blabla cannot be installed in your device's country.
But, I found Chomp (search market, or browse as long as needed to get to it). Now, when I want something for tab, I run Chomp, do search through it, press install and it is working. Except purchasing.
Second option, I search and install to phone, backup it, transfer to tab and install.
Getjar and Amazon is an alternative if you can't figure this out.
