Some apps not available to me.

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..?

Workaround for paid apps?

Hello,
I live in Poland and we still can't buy paid android apps, which really p*sses me off. Is there an alternative way to buy from the market? I don't want to use pirated software.

Pretty sure if you email the Dec of app you want they will work something out with you. Also try market enabler

Root phone, install Market Enabler which will allow your phone to pretend that it is in a different market (ie one with paid apps available). Works great. I am in Canada, which does not have paid apps yet, and use it to buy apps. This was the main reason I rooted my phone.

I live in Norway and we don't have access to paid apps yet.
I did install Market Enabler, and got access, but when I'm buying, after I've input credicard information, nothing happens. The phone tries to connect and eventually I get an errormessage that a connection could not be etablished (or something in that effect)
I chose Market Enabler 3 (beta) as I'm using a Hero ROM. (Old version does not work), and I choose o2 (de) as provider.
Any tips?

tried using Slideme, it is an alternative market that works outside of the android market.

Thanks for the replies! I rooted my phone finally (using flashrec) and by the way updated to some hero ROM (myhero-1.1.1 to be exact) and used Market Enabler. Works really well so far, I haven't had time to try to actually purchase anything yet, but I can see paid apps now.
I love the HTC Sense look and feel, but I there are some bugs that weren't present in the vanilla magic (skippy music, worse jabber integration, etc).
It's amazing how easy it is to root and flash your phone these days, I remember last time I was thinking about it the howto scared the hell out of me. And I'm a developer (just a lazy one).

Just purchased my frist app on Android Market
There was one issue, maybe this will help someone: When I entered my credit card details on my phone it didn't work - there was some kind of server error. I had to go to google checkout using browser on my computer, enter my cc details and then I was able to buy apps off android market.

Try setting up your Google checkout account using a PC based browser. Once you do that you should only be shown the price and have to confirm to buy.
That worked for me.

Can't See Any Pay Apps On Market

Yep no pay apps on the market not even if I scan a QR code wont let me see it any ideas on how to fix this...?

Google has not opened the Paid apps market to the whole world but only to a limited number of countries. It's annoying, I know.
If you still would like to see and purchase the paid apps, you must root your phone first and then install the application called Market Enabler and it will make some changes to fool Big G that you're from US on Tmobile networks and eventually open up the app store.
Theres still an other option. Find paid apps through other means, purchase through the developer's own site so they give you an .apk installer for manual installation. This method is the only option left if you don't want to root your phone like me.

Carty..

"Long Press" the provider you want to fake. Make sure you have the latest beta version from the developers googlecode home page.

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

[Q] How to buy paid apps from market (Rooted NC)

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.
