I'm so clever. I've enabled the "Market Access" app on my Captivate. If only I knew of some apps which had hitherto been unavailable to me.
Only thing I've seen definitely blocked by AT&T is EasyTether.
I just got my phone and some apps I like so far

Google Goggles
Ringdroid
Scanner Radio
Does anyone know of any apps to show off this beast of a phone? Google Goggles is a nice way of showing what droid does.
I was wondering specifically about apps that weren't available to the Cap before allowing Market Access, like T Mobile apps.

Can someone please explain why some apps..such as Pure Calendar Widget..arent available to me?...When I search for it or read the barcode for it I get no results?...though others seem to find them. Also Camera Zoom which is always recommended is a no go.
I have a TMO USA phone and buy other apps from the market.
thanks
What region are you in and what provider?
You could be locked out by these things -- if so check out market enabler.
Tmobile. United States.
There's some threads with manual configurations for Market Enable.. Search tool will make the trick... if not google knows everything ehehehhe
Well I am still not getting an answer to my question Why are only some paid apps available and some are not?
Is this the way it is for everyone?

Yes it is, depending on the regions, there are or not some application. This is why the purpose of the creation of the Market Enabler.
Some but not all
It is not as straight-forward as that. You can use market enabler and see some paid apps but not all of them show up (for me for example). I cannot see Pure Calendar Widget either although I can see and purchase tons and tons of other paid apps. If harsaphes is already on T-Mobile, they probably don't need Market Enabler to fake that they are on T-Mobile...
The difference may be something to do with "paid" apps vs. "paid and protected/drm" apps. I am not sure though. I have not found a definitive explanation to this problem nor a solution.
Would this also pretain to the amazon mp3 app which can not be installed with any market other than the US version on US android phones? Or is there a way to push this app in manual..?
Hello,
I want to buy a few paid apps (ezPdf, Doc2go) for nook color. But the market displays only free apps. How do I buy some paid apps?
Thanks
My market shows paid apps and I'm able to install and use them just fine.
What method to get the marketplace did you use?
Might want to try again using autonooter.
i can only see free apps there, but i think it is because of a restriction for paid apps for my country..... as i understand, there is only a few countries that can access the paid applications.
they dont want us to do piracy... but they dont allow us to pay for apps.....
i have the same problem, i heard something about a market enabler app, but i'm still a noob yet
Also have the same issue any fixes ?
i installed a program called Market Access which spoofs the SIM card information to the market so it thinks you are from an authorized country.
now all paid apps are displayed for me
the program can be found here:

This is likely your problem if you are overseas. I have a similar issue in Korea. Video games in Korea are required to have their content reviewed and rated so they are only sold to the appropriate ages. Consequently all games on the Korean Android market have been blocked in Korea because of the lack of a rating system on the Android Market.
I use an app called MarketEnabler (looks like the same thing as the Market Access app linked to you above) to get around this problem. It basically lets me access markets from other carriers in other countries. It may be available on your Android Market. Send me a PM if you are unable to find a solution on your own.
I am interested in the build.prop file and its effect on the market. A number of my apps refuse to show/ download and it may be a fingerprint issue.
Also, I cant seem to buy Samurai 2 Vengence, despite its appearing in the featured tablet apps the market just sends a notification that the download was declined.
What am i doing wrong? Could it be the fact that im in the EU on a verizon xoom? I have in airplane mode...
Possibly not relevant but the Market App is by far the buggiest application on the Xoom, which makes running down your problem even more difficult.
Have you tried purchasing and pushing the app to the tablet through the Market on the Web.
Thats what I have had to resort to until they fix the POS thats on the machine right now.
Google is not doing themselves any favors as I have started hearing about market problems in reviews... really should be the one App that works right, it's the portal to all other applications.
so if anyone has picked up the P1010, you'l notice that thei Qik app just says "service will be available soon" when you click on it. Also, Qik will not show up in the market.
I got around this by rooting, getting Market Enabler and setting it to Verizon. You can then find Qik in the Market. Setting it to T-mo gives a different version which didn't work. Just FYI for the wifi owners who wanted Qik running.
Also for the registration signup, you can just use any cell # that you have access to for SMS to "confirm" and it will still go through your GT.
SWEET

awsome dude thanks i have been looking for a work around. i dont understand why they even put it on there if it doesnt work for the p1010...samsung is really lacking support for the p1010 . but i guess thats why we have ROOT access and this wonderful site full of users like u and i .thanks again
PS...where can i find the ""Market Enabler"" i am guessing on the web sites like 4shared (site where i find all apps free and 3rd party )
OPENED my eyes and....
so i looked on the market place for this app and found it by typing "market enabler" (there are 2 apps by this name the choice is urs)
App description
Market Enabler lets you access paid apps in Android Market
For some apps are just enabled for some specific country and not available to the other countries,so it is very difficult to download many high quality software.Market Enable lets you access paid apps from countries where paid apps are not yet available.
This application need Rooted phone!
It is not permanent, will be original after reboot or flight mode!(so if you want to back to default market,just reboot or reset flight mode)
Thanks MarketEnabler and Market Enabler Codes.
Does anyone know of a way I can block the market from my toddler? He just figured out how to buy apps and every time I look at my phone he has a new one on.
I'm thinking of making a script to copy the market apk somewhere and another script to restore it so I can use it when I want, but is there another way?
Wouldn't it be easy if you sign in with an google account which does not have credit card linked to it?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
Ahhh..
My generation played with Light-Brights , now toddlers are buying apps from the market.
How about Airplane Mode?
Or something like APN on-off, and just kill the wi-fi connection.
This might not be the solution you're looking for, but if you use a third party launcher (LauncherPRO, ADW Launcher, GO Launcher, etc) you can hide the market icon, and showing it again is only a few clicks away.
It would stop him from accessing the market unless he finds out how to show hidden apps . Plus third party launchers can be a lot of fun, they add a lot of features and customization.
Why do you even let your kid use your phone?
Try DroidWall
Try DroidWall, I am using it to block my Market.
Zoodles KidMode is an app that locks the phone into a kids area, so they can only access age appropriate games and videos in a sandboxed environment. Might be worth investigating. It would mean they couldn't access other games on the phone they might be used to, but out does protect the phone somewhat!
You can get it for free on the market.
