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 ...

-voicesearch and speech to text. Installed HTC IME KB, Voice app and nothing work. I cant have the keyboard in the list of KB. And voice search doesnt work...(error connex)
thanks a lot
You want WinMo
oh no i dont
For all those questions, yes you do as it does them...the Desire doesn't as yet.
- It has Push for Googlemail, I think there is another app you can use for other account types
- Can't change default apps
- Can't use other SMS software (I don't think, could be wrong)
- Can't tether without rooting (as you've said)
HD2 does all these, some stock some with custom ROMs

- what about the support for Exchange push in the mail program?
-if you install another program, you may be able to. you can remove the defaults for applications in the settings. that's why you can switch between homescreens once you have installed launcher2.apk....
- there's plenty of other SMS software in the market, ChompSMS, Handcent etc.
- yes, you need to root.
But overall, yeah, it sounds like for the kinda stuff you want to do, winmo would be better all round.

Honestly you don't need google Earth it's 22mb and the maps does the same thing!
Also big drain on battery (Earth and Maps) so not something you would want to use all the time anyhow.
Search around for apps as you may find one that does same but for less space.
Also, are you using all the apps? Are a lot of them just games?
Be smart with the limited space.
It's not ideal I know, but until anything changes not a lot you can do.
-Internal memory
Yes, this is a pain. I wish Google would let us put stuff on SD card already without having to root the phone and HTC needs to put less preinstalled crap too replacing it with OTA on demand instead. Teeter? WTH!
-Wifi tethering
Yes, PDANet and some other application allow BT/WiFi/USD tethering with Windows/OSX and Linux. Probably not with iPad because it has no USB, BT is crap (if same as on iPhone) ... not real OS X.
-Push mail through the HTC app...possible?
No. Google's own email app will do push for Gmail accounts only. HTC email will check at specified intervals.
-How can i change the defaut app to open for X action...
You can't, as far as I know.
-Can i use another SMS software with the HTC message widget? exemple when i click new message it open the defaut one...
Yes. There are two very popular ones, but HTC's own is all I need.
-How can i use picasa ? i keep having an error (authentification...) in gallery app.
Yes. Not sure about your error. You can get Gallery app from N1 and use that instead of HTC's Photos.
-voicesearch and speech to text. Installed HTC IME KB, Voice app and nothing work. I cant have the keyboard in the list of KB. And voice search doesnt work...(error connex)
Hmm, by default HTC IME doesn't do voice. I installed Voice Search with Android default keyboard and have that feature now. Although I rarely use it. Swype FTW! Check the forums there was a link to the apk to get it all working.
thanks a lot...for the answer even though some are really mindblowing in the worst way
thx !
yup yup
You've summed up some of the biggest problems with Android and the Desire.
The inability to install apps to an SD card is a big problem - one that can be solved by waiting for root, or by waiting for the next release of Android (I think Google have said they are working on this feature for the next version). Basically, just by waiting.
I use IMAP IDLE with the K-9 email app for push IMAP email from my fastmail.fm account. Works instantly and perfectly. Love it.
Hope this helps a little.

My Applications/Manage Applications FCs on me all the time (it is probably some app installed from apk that causes this problem). Don't see said app show up in APK or ASTRO.
i dont get what u mean
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?
Whats up with the new gmail app on the market? After checking the version number I have an olderversion. Why isnt my current version asking me to update? I probably wouldnt have even noticed but I went to my downloads and it showed up as a free app as if I didnt have it. So thats when I started investigating.
Anyway its got me all confused lol. Should I just uninstall my current google app and then just go download that app? I cant see how it would hurt, but Ill wait to see what you smart guys say.
I noticed the same thing today, current version of gmail on my phone is 2.2.1, and the one in the market is 2.3(also did not show up in market as an update, just install). I updated just fine and everything works good. I think the market won't show an app as updatable, unless you install it from the market and since gmail came with the phone, and not from the market the market will just show the option to install.
I don't remember seeing gmail being in the market in the past, this must be another step towards googles much talked about push for making core google apps a part of the market instead of being shipped on the phone. Makes more sense that way anyways.
I remember reading something that mobile gmail would be getting the new priority inbox like the regular gmail site has. Maybe this is the reason for the update

the quoted text is handled much better now. I can actually click on a link now that a get from a subscribed thread on xda. I used to have to go back to the first mail in the conversation.
also, i noticed a green bar that drops down after you delete a msg that also lets you undo. it's a pretty sweet update actually.
The gmail update was for some small bug fixes and to add multiple gmail account sync
So do I just installit over the old or uninstall and then install the new one freshly?

Just install the new one over top. Really easy.
The new Gmail app has the buttons at the top scroll down with you, making it easier to star, reply, reply to all, etc. It has some other bug fixes, and there is limited Priority Inbox support, in the form of a new "Important" label, that takes you to your important messages.
Here's a link to the blog post: http://googlemobile.blogspot.com/2010/09/updated-gmail-app-in-android-market.html
This update came out yesterday, and is the first time Gmail has been updated in the market. This will be how updates will work from now on, just like the Maps app before it.
Hi all!
There's a way to sync market between phone and site?
The problem is that I have uninstalled some apps ( on device )but they continue to appear in "my apps" section ( on both device and market.android.com ).
This is frustrating cause after a full wipe, the market reinstall them automatically even if they were not installed before the wipe!
Thanks in advance for the answers
No one?
I believe they should auto sync. Maybe u need to refresh it. Go to remove app option, find the market app and select clear data. Do not select remove option. This clears the list of installed apps and searched words. When u go into market again it should refresh the list of installed apps.

Is there a chance that the apps that still appear in Market are ones you have purchased? Because paid apps stay there. You prolly realize this, but worth a shot. Also, you should consider using Appbrain app market, I thoroughly enjoy it.
hxxp://appbrain.com
So when I go to the market website and click on My Apps it only lists apps up to the 'M's... anything past that I can't see.
I use this page to re-install apps when changing devices / after resets.
Is there any way to see a listing of all of my apps?
Don't know if this helps, but if you install the newest play app (i posted the apk here somewhere), it has the same kinda page now (an all apps installed history), you could install from there?

Thanks, I will check that out! Although I think using a KB/Mouse on my PC would still be more convenient than finger-scrolling and tapping on the phone screen :/
At least that should get me access to everything I'm missing.
My suggestion is,
1. delete market data and cache
2. From settings > sync settings > select google deatails > remove account
3. reboot
4. create your google account again
5. from market, check it again.
Hope this work.
Question - are you using market unlocker?
He's having the problem with the online version of the market, on his computer, not the phone app.

My bad kingdazy.
I've just checked out to find the installed apps from PC.
It seems like there are two ways.
1. from the market home page > My Adnroid Apps (from there we can reinstall the apps) - alphabetical order
(this one shows the history even the apps are uninstalled, those are there)
2. Google account dashboard > Android Market > installed applications (most recent first)
So, if you compare these two lists and if you find anything missing, then you'd better to contact Google support team. If both are the same, maybe there're gonna be none who can help you.
My two cents.
The first list is missing everything after the M's...
The second list has them all though... I'll use that for a work-around for now
I'm having an issue with apps on sd not showing up after a reboot. I have to clear data to get them to show again. This new market is annoying.
