e.g google earth, ebay app - both of these i've had to find the apk files and use htc sync to install em. even appbrain doesn't work with them. they're tagged but the phone says not found on market
having the prob now since there's apparently an update to google earth but i can't find it.
is it due to my phone being a t-mobile desire and not a plain jane desire?
As far as I know google earth is only released for the nexus one on the market.
ach, ok. that sucks though
at least i got a working ver now thanks to forum dudes
I had Google Earth installed on my Desire (from the market). I uninstalled it as it took too much memory. Not sure why it cant be dl and installed anymore... beats me.
Install Google Earth via the .apk, it's Nexus only at the moment.
i can find the original apk, but is there a way to update it? or get an updated apk? (guessing no, since i can only find the original)

Well, I've turned on my Desire this morning, and performed the daily search for the Paypal app. There it is.
Tapatalk, and all the rest of the protected apps are now available on the generic ROM it seems!
Great news!
EDIT - All except Google Earth it seems.
I can see those two, but not Google Earth?
T-Mobile here.
I also see the applications you mention, but I still only see free apps?

I did actually, but missed it somehow.
Anyway, it's still news to some, obviously.
No worries, as the OP in the other thread I can understand how excited you were!
Seems to be a lot of demand for Google Earth. I've attached it if you guys want it.
But yes, Its not on the market on Vodafone either. Sounds like it might of been pulled altogether
KYI
Cheers for Google Earth!
Thx for the upload. Needs 23 mb rom lol. Root plz...
Oh come on, no paypal app for me in the market, strange
Argh, I cannot see the Paypal app!
I have an unbranded/unlocked Desire with the latest stock ROM (1.15.405.4) and I've set my locale to "English (United States)" with MoreLocale2. (doesn't work either with the "English (France)" settings)
UK Desire on T-Mobile, branded- have access to protected apps - and can see paypal app on market
I tried the install from #7 but I get 'there is a problem parsing the package'.
I have Google Earth, I always did have Google Earth.
Infact it was one of the first apps I installed on 27/03, I only just got protected apps today (I knew because I downloaded a copy of Abduction World Attack off the internet (it is an app I purchaed) and today I got prompted there was an update (it wasn't in my market before))
Edit: Just to add, I did also once have to do a reset and was able to redownload earth from the market again.
Most apps are showing up now in the market for me. Still can't see Google Earth though.
Here is some interesting news re "Market"

now we have "protected" apps, can anyone suggest some ones we're missing out on?
I see that this topic has been created in other forums, like HTC vox, omnia II general. But since I am new to this I am not sure if the same answer holds true for my phone (Tmobile G2, Desire Z?)
The perpetrators I would like to remove are:
Amazon MP3
Google Finance
Latitutde
Shopper
News and weather
Google earth (why is it there if the phone has google maps)
Google Goggles
Photobucket
Facebook
Twitter
So is the only way to do this is to root the phone? If I root the phone will I have other apps remainng like google voice commands, and can I go back to origional OS?
Thanks in advance
without root you can't remove them, however, you can dis-able them. They wouldn't show up in your app drawer and they won't run, but they'll technically still be installed. There is a thread about it in the dev forums. I can't post links or else I'd find it
would rooting delete all the other apps as well???
Hi all ,
Currently all my apps are backed up on App brain , I can sync , install etc...
However there is now the new web based market place https://market.android.com
So which is better ?
App brain or the new market place ??
NOTE: I back up on app brain , install via market place (as it's faster )
I noticed that none of the apps I have installed on my SD card are showing up on market.android.com - strange that.... appbrain has no problems identifying my apps from SD, neither does the phone market place.
I don't use App Brain so no idea. I will try out the new market thing and see if it works well. To be honest it doesn't bother me but I am sure at some point this week that I will be installing a new rom on my phone.
Google Market knows what apps I have installed, which is good. Meant to also let you know there are updates as well
Quite like it!
It cant see half the apps on my phone .. eg the ones NOT installed via the market place ... ( just apk's ) .. also theer is no sync ... so it does not " back up" your apps , as app brain does.

that's true - but the google phone market doesnt know which apk's from unknown sources either... i would expect it to pick up the ones that are installed on SD though from the market.
Can't get market.android.com to recognise my phone from ANY of the three email addresses I use on my phone.
Useless.
Obviously tried the main Gmail one you originally set the phone up with correct?
Yup, and the two google apps accounts I also run. All say they can't find a phone associated with the address.
Upgraded to the new market a couple of hours ago, didn't make any difference.
This android web market is a comedy. They should rather let appbrain to keep its push to install service, the site works perfectly for over half a year now.

Same problem here.
I found some things to try on google's forums but nothing worked (different browsers, different gmail accounts, etc)
Is this because we're using custom roms? I am using CM7 ...
Custom ROM should not matter as the market is linked to the IMEI number of the phone. I have CM7 running on my Desire and the market site shows it without trouble.
Just looked today , and there seams to be more on there ... looking at app brain , however its still missing some apps... which is odd as one of them is Adobe flash !!
There are other "system" apps on the list ...
It's still too new , so will wait for a while .. installing apps is faster than app brain ...
I've found three apps that I want so far that will NOT install on my HTC One x because it's not a USA one x. These games are for USA only, and even though I live in the USA I can't install them because I have an unlocked HTC One x. Anyway around this besides rooting/flashing roms? I might have to sell the phone and wait for the AT&T version if I can't get around this.
which apps?
no such thing with my HOX.
The only thing that prevents from installing apps is your internet connection.
I live in brazil and while i was in the us i could install all the us apps i wanted.
Now im back to brazil and i can only install br apps.
Doesnt matter where your phone is from.
Maybe you are using a proxy or something?

Pogo for example.
It won't show up in the play store when I search on my phone, then when I search on market.android.com, it says the app is not compatible with my one x.
sorry to be a dummy, but when i go to the playstore, there seem to be several pogo possibilities. can you be more specific? i am in the u.s. with an international one x and can try to download to see if the same problem crops up.

pogo games by EA
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...1bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5lYS5nYW1lLnBvZ29nYW1lcyJd
the only way I could access the pogo package was by doing a Google search. It did not appear in play store on my one x. Then when I had properly logged in to my account and tried to install, there was a pop-up saying device compatibility was not confirmed. So no joy. However, when going to the play store on my one x, I was able to download Tetris without any difficulty. You may have to download the games individually. BTW I am on AT&T prepaid. Don't know if being with another phone company would change things.
Try market enabler to spoof your location.
Works for me with FotMob in the UK which will not usually allow me to see the fixture list.
i thought i would do an update on this issue. i have an unrooted phone, so market enabler is not good for me - especially since i am a long way from wanting to root. i was trying to download google voice from play store and of course it downloaded and then said it was not available for use, so i uninstalled it. then i went to dolphin browser and googled google voice, which then took me to play store and the app. i downloaded again. it worked. i assume dolphin acted as a filter of some kind pointing back to a u.s. site/user? i really don't know enough to know, but it did work, if anyone is interested.
Ever since google updated the market i cant seem to find my bought apps in an easy way. Before they were all there. I just scrolled down in the installed apps list and they were at the bottom unless they were installed. Now there is a list in my apps called all where ALL the apps i've tried are listed. Needles to say this list makes it finding once bought apps a very dull task.
Is there some feature i am missing because of pure stupidity from my part or did google remove an easy way to find what i am searching for?
Thank you!
Uninstall updates from google play store. They should be there once update is backed out of. Once you see them again you should be able to update store and they should remain.
