Hi,
I used to use appbrain for downloading apps which are not available in the stock android market but ever since google update the android market it appears that I can't use appbrain even after uninstalling updates and clearing the cache. Simply speaking, I want to be able to see all apps that are available in the market whether it's for froyo, paid, region specific, or what not. So, does anyone have a solution to show all apps in the android market?
I did do a search on the internet and I got a hold of this: droidxforums.com/forum/droid-x-hacks/5501-build-prop-edits-great-battery-life-fast-phone-full-market.html Has anyone with an xperia x10 mini tried this or something similar? Thanks.
I have problems connecting to the android market, and was wondering if you know any sites where I can download those free APK files, Without going through android market
Android market gives me headaches!
Not sure if I can link to other sites...
Do a google search of the app name you are look for, I am sure there will be lots results coming up...
Maybe your problem stems from the fact, that you have disabled the "background data" options? I remember, I have wasted half an hour before I came, without this i always gett Google server error answer...

Use http://www.appbrain.com/
Sorry.. Appbrain links back to Android market
you can use the install feature on http://market.android.com/
I have to use it, because the app on my phone don't want to update or install anything by itself.

Problem solved
Hi everyone,
Since Saturday a happy Galaxy SII user, but coming from a LG Optimus 2x I notice something strange:
I miss some(?) apps in the market.
e.g. Flitsieflitsie, ikea, tubemate...
The LG finds them in the market and my desire found them as well.
I know there are market fixes around, but I am not rooted yet and have no plans yet to do it because of warranty reasons.
Ridiculous that certain apps are blocked.
Anyone noticing this too?
I bought it from the T-Mobile shop in the Netherlands, they did not put any branding on as far as I am aware.
Does the language choice influence anything?
Have you tried market-enabler http://code.google.com/p/market-enabler/downloads/detail?name=MarketEnabler.apk
Root needed for market enabler
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Same thing here, I cannot see some apps in the market (Evernote, Slice It! etc). If I try to follow some market links from the internet, the market just says that the program is not found. Also they're not found with the Market search.
I've tried clearing Market cache and data, booting, updated firmware etc.
Phone is a rooted KE7, bought from Expansys UK and I'm using it in Finland. Tried to change areas with MarketEnabler, no go, still some apps doesn't show up. There's huge amount of software showing up though, just some specific apps are missing. I just confirmed that they show up on a friends SGS2.
Any ideas how to fix this? Maybe I should try a factory reset, but I really wouldn't want to do that if it's not absolutely necessary.

Thanks jje, but that doesn't really help. The download links in appbrain point to android market, in which they cannot be found with the device. Additionally I cannot install the AppBrain-app, because it's among the apps I cannot find in market.
When clicking direct market links, market just says "The requested item could not be found."
Even if I could use the appbrain application, I'd like to fix the root problem.
Anyone got similiar issues? Or suggestions about fixing it?
Well, did a factory reset and that resolved the issue, now the market shows all apps.
As an afterthought, latest version of Titanium Backup wasn't able to restore any of my datas, just apps. I just got a error message that said "Unable to restore data" or somesuch.
Downgrading Titanium Backup to one version prior fixed this issue, and I could restore my backups.
this method works and is easier:

After moving to 351 update (15609)
my apps were washed away. (thats ok, as I had too many apps installed anyway!)
Now, I have apks of all the softwares I had before, and which were useful.
Some are paid ones, of which I do not have the installer apks
For the free apps, which I installed without logging on to market, I am not able to see any update menu!
and they are not showing up in My apps (part in market) either.
-the "market" app has changed too (from what it was before.)
Help please.
Thanks,
Sony.
Another issue!
I see some notifications stick around a lot longer! (irritating!)
"Battery full Please remove charger" stays on for like 15 seconds.
Bluetooth voice dialing works well,
Wifi works with much better success rate of connecting!
MODs: Please rename thread as "Problems with 351 (15609)" or something similar.
Sony.
Note: I have already tried the Clear Cache solution.

Damn: I tried to "Uninstall Updates for Market" in applications menu.
and now, the Market looks primitive!
whats wrong here!?
By uninstalling the market updates you went back to the oldest version of the market.
I can't help you with the apps, but it sounds as if you might need to flash your phone again.
Now new thing!
Today the phone got stuck at the lock screen (long time!)
then I restarted it through Power button long press.
Then the Dell logo kept coming again and again.. and it didnt boot~!
So, I removed the battery cover, and rebooted. then it was fine! (yikes)
I am on stock, no roots, no nothing yet!
Even the default update can cause problems?(Oh, I had not rebooted the phone since 2 days.. but I have gone longer before.. without the phone getting any slower!)
One thing is definitely mentionable though,
The battery life has been exceptional!!
Full charge in the morning (6 am - unplugged)
And, decent browsing (FB + gmail) + 40-50 mins of calls + games for 30-40 mins
and by 7 pm I still have 68% battery
That has been the case for past two days (since I upgraded 318 to 351)
@Strephon Alkhalikoi
you suggest, I flash the phone again?
hmm. Ok, will try that if nothing else works.
Any other suggestions on the table?
One more thing
I had used the Dell Backup and Restore > and used system settings restore too (in the options)
Just thought of putting it, as thats the only thing thats between the flash and the current problem. << (any relation?)
Help appreciated!
Sony
Re-flashed!
WEll,
i am officially going nuts!
I flashed the 351 update again.
everything nice and sweet..
But, hey!
Market is still behaving crazy!!
and App brain or anythin is also unable to do any good!
Guys! Please help!!
The Market is not showing apps, which I install off my SD card apks!!
whats wrong!?
Bonkers,
Sony
Anybody, yet?
Hey guys,
anybody ever faced such a problem?
Anybody know any solution ( that I havent mentioned in above posts? ).
Highly appreciate the help!
Sony.
When you install apks, they won't show in the market. You'll need to use an illegitimate market to show all installed apks (search google).

I did search google extensively!
My method of installing has a name: sideloading, (right?)
and, I see, that it 'does' show in the market for other guys!
and, Google search shows this as a sync-market issue!
people have some work arounds and all, but none is sure shot way of doing that.
I am looking for a solution.
Thanks,
Sony.
Are your free apps not showing up as installed either...
If you are using pirated apps they normally won't show up as installed, much less allow you to update without paying for them through the market.
Any free apps you use, you shouldn't install them from the sd card, rather install them directly from the market....

none of the apps are showing up (free + paid)
No pirated ones. Paid ones (only 2 of them, but, even those arent showing up!!)
About installing free apps from market-
well, that is one solution. but,
my question is exactly the corollary of that!
Why are sideloaded apps not showing up, when they did just finely show up, when I was on 318 !!?
What happens when you guys 'sideload' any app?
Let me know.
Thanks!
Sony.
P.S. People are discussing it on market.google.com/discussions as a 'market-sync' issue! as stated in prev post of mine.
*Sigh!*
Since google released their web-based market interface, the definitive list of apps on your phone (as shown in the market app) comes from the list on the website, which is the list of apps that were downloaded and installed through the market.
If you sideload something, it doesn't appear on this list.
In the past, pre- the web interface to the market, the definitive list was generated by the market app by scanning your phone. Not any more.
The only way now to get the apps to appear in the market app as installed is to install them through the market app (or market website).
Best workaround I know of is to use appbrain's app market. The app in that still scans your phone for the list, and can check for updates, and then uses the standard market to install the updates, so from then on the app is listed in the standard market.
So, basically, to get the apps listed in your standard market app's list, don't sideload.
Now, I just learned of a market backup program that you could have used beforehand, but that doesn't help much now :s.

Why some rom' market shows my paid apps have to buy again?
And some of my usual apps disappear, ever I change the code by market enabler...
I found those apps the market website, it shows the apps wasn't available for my phone. But the apps did available before...
What's problem?
