Database Develop

aTrackDog shows updates which I can not find in the market?!

Hello,
I am using aTrackDog and all works fine.
I just have the problem that it shows me sometime that there is an update for an installed app (e.g. "Finance" from Google - I have 1.0 & aTrackDog says there is 1.1 or Netcounter should be 0.7.1 or SnapPhoto 1.2.7 instead of 1.2.6) but when I go to this app at the Market there is no update available?!
What is going wrong here?
Any idea would be great, thanx in advance!

The problem with the way atrackdog works is that it relies on reports from G1 phones to update its database of apps and versions. Say an application developer releases a testing version of his app to a friend to give him feedback before publicly releasing it. If that friend uses atrackdog, then everyone else's copy of atrackdog will show there's an update available before it even hits the market.
Later versions of atrackdog allow application developers to flag applications as "testing versions" and they show up as green text in the app list. Still, not all devs participate in that part of atrackdog.

ok - I understand
Thank you for the explanation

Since updating to 1.5, is anyone elses atrackdog showing stock apps?? Mine is showing everything from googleapps to setup wizard & even the gmail app. I have set them to not check for newer versions, I was just curious if I am the only one. There's 16 stock apps all together in the list

@Beast84 ........ mine does the same, shows all the stock apps too! (Haykuro 1.5)

G1 w/o Market?

So how do you guys figure to use your G1 w/o Google Market? With so many apps that are only available through the Market, and paid apps only recognizing your payment with Market instead of the developer.
I understand I won't have this problem since I have a "Google Experience" phone, but I'm curious. I don't see any alternatives here (SlideME doesn't even have the official Facebook app, and searching for "appmanager" turned up 0 result).

Once everyone using cyanogenmod is using SlideMe the devs will post their apps there. This is kinda funny cause it actually takes money from google. Also, I think we are going to have the option to keep our "google experience" apps.

Would really suck to have to pay for the same apps twice though.
Hmm, also, probably can't keep track of updates huh?

Can't find some apps in the Market

I've read about some interesting apps, but I can't find them in the Android Market for some reason. A few people claim that these applications are available in the Market, but they just don't show up for me.
Some examples:
- ShareYourBoard
- BioWallet
- Pandora
- iSkoot
- beebPlayer
- Bluex
- Ecorio
- cab4me
- DoggCatcher
I've even tried to scan some QR codes in AndroLib.com, but I get an error saying that "There are no matches in Android Market for the search."
Does anyone know why that happens? I should mention that I live in Brazil (not sure this makes a difference) and that I use MoDaCo Custom ROM 2.9. Besides, the option "Unknown sources" is checked in my phone.
Thanks for the help,
Tiago

are the apps officially available in your country? did you try market enabler?

Some apps are not supported in all countries.
Example: BeebPlayer (stream bbc shows) is only available in the UK.
I Downloaded Beebplayer from an apps pack, it told me it was only available for people inside the UK.
Also if you search for some apps, like Beebplayer the marketplace app shows something like "1 result found" but shows nothing except for the usual "did you type the name correctly blabla."
Hope this helps,, I experienced the same thing, it gets really annoying but nothing you can do. maybe work with a proxy or something but since I'm not a developer I can't help you with that.

Have you applied the MR update? This update has caused some apps to not show up in the market.

I used Market Enabler and it worked only 1 time. When I rebooted my phone then I had to reapply the "patch" from Market Enablen and when I got to the market nothing worked like it should.
I mean that Market Enabler didn't worked the second time I tried to fake my market.

Yeah, us Sprint folks are totally ****ed. THe new update, as awesome as it is, makes it so we can't see stuff like twidroid pro.

you are not alone

kendong2,
Market Enabler helped a lot! Using the setting for T-Mobile, I was able to find the following apps: Pandora, iSkoot, Bluex, cab4me and DoggCatcher. Pandora doesn't work in Brazil, but that's a different problem. Restarting the phone restores the old settings, but I can always use Market Enabler again.
However, I still can't find ShareYourBoard, BioWallet, beebPlayer, Ecorio and AndNav2. According to DaanJordaan, beebPlayer will not work in Brazil, but I'd still like to install the other apps. Has anyone managed to install these apps? Any tips?
I'm not sure I have the MR update. As I said, I installed MoDaCo Custom ROM 2.9 and didn't apply any other updates after that.
Thanks a lot,
Tiago

Has anyone found a solution to this yet?
The market is impressive but I would ( I know I'm not alone here ) love to have access the whole market.
I have a rooted sprint hero, stock ROM with the update.

Same issue here too.
Any of the big name stuff like shopsavvey, compare everywhere, facebook amazon and the rest is not showing.

Hello i have the same problem with modaco 3.0. "MR" update is that short for modaco ROM ? And people using market enabler should remember to clear market cache under settings - applications - market

Where is Wikitude?

Hey all,
I had Wikitude on my phone but uninstalled it because I was not getting the latest update and now I cannot find it in the Market. I am running Manup's 2.1-v1.5 and I can see paid apps and I think protected (isn't Bettercut one of those), but I cannot find Wikitude by name or pulling the devs other app.
Anyone care to guess why?
Thanks,

Some apps don't show up in my Market

Maybe this has nothing to do with the NC, not sure yet.
But I've noticed that some apps don't seem to show up in the Market on my Nook Color, but do on my Android phone and AppBrain.
For example EA Mobile has some 99 cent games on sale right now. I got Need for Speed for my phone. And it shows up in AppBrain on my NC, but in the Market it's not there.
I noticed some others missing too like Super Manager.
Are these apps not showing up because this Market apk came from the Galaxy Tab and they aren't supported on tablets (noticed one of the EA games did mention it wasn't supported on the Galaxy Tab)? Or is something else going on?

Market will not show apps that are deemed incompatible with your device. Since NC doesn't come with market, it will mainly show you generic apps. Other alternate market apps may show you apps that work or that don't and apps that require OS 2.2, since the NC is an unsupported device.

I've had this same problem, specifically with Pocket Legends. I sideloaded an old .apk of it and booted it up. It works, but then tells me to upgrade and when I let it go to the market, the screen just flashes and goes back to the pocket legends app.

Ugh. Is this something that could be fixed in the future? I'm starting to get surprised at how many apps I can't download from the Market now. Can't even install Firefox.
I guess I can try side loading some of these thing from my Android phone.

Can't install Firefox? Shows in the market here for me.

Firefox Beta 3 showed up for me and installed fine.

Inconsistance
I've had to re-root my new nook color several times. The first time I did it the Market had a limited number of apps. Viewing the "Top Free" or "Top Paid" only had about 10 apps visible as opposed to a long ongoing list of apps.
After a factor reset and re-root the market was showed any and every app.
After a third factory reset and reroot the market was back to the original way with far fewer apps. (currently Firefox, Dolphin, Skyfire are NOT visible but Opera is)
So I can confirm "something" is problematic. I came to this forum hoping for an answer myself.
Running 1.0.1 and used auto-nooter each time.

This may not fix your problem, earlyhike - but it may help someone:
When viewing the market holding it as a portrait, only 10 apps show but if you rotate to landscape then you can scroll through the long list.
Hope this helps someone

I would very much appreciate if someone could upload the Firefox Beta 3 since I can't get it from Market. Thanks in advance.

I had to install it on my Android phone, then just copied the APK file over to my Nook and installed it that way. I put a copy here of Firefox 4 beta 3.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15926256/org.mozilla.firefox-1.apk

Now I'm curious what is going on.
Those of you that found Firefox, were you using the new Market or the old market?
I'm using the New Market and not seeing Firefox (and some other things). I wonder if this new Market apk is the issue.
