thanks! much appreciated.
why can't we see certain apps like this and Netflix on the app store?
If you where able to click the link, and the market displayed the application, then it means you probably overlooked it during your search. As for netflix the new update wouldn't show for me either.

By default, it will not show up because it needs fine-grained GPS.. which the Nook Color does not have.

No, you are not doing anything wrong. Google has chosen to enforce device requirements on the app, so now it won't list from the market on an unsupported device.
Accessing from the web browser, you'll see the following:
"This app is incompatible with your Bn NookColor" Note: if you renamed your device, it may not show the same device name, but it's the same result.
Same with Netflix and other apps you can't get on the device. However, if you'd downloaded the APK before this, you can still see it on your market. However, I've not received any new updates, so either no updates or it won't update if not available for the device in question.

I have G+ on both my Droid X and NC (I just made a backup of the .apk on the DX using "My Backup Pro" and moved it to the NC). I have not seen an update on my DX since 1.0.2, so I don't believe there has been an update in a couple weeks.

so, your search records are 'owned' by b. gates (M$OFT) instead of the CIA (google)
I don't see what's so weird about it. different search engines turn up different results, even once you ignore the paid results...

funny. I was unaware of the difference.
wonder why my stick figure comics page comes up from bing sometimes?
low stats and I never submitted it anywhere but google and Yahoo.
If you can get over the fact that it comes from Microsoft, the Bing app for Android is actually a pretty good app.
Here's a review of it: http://www.androidcentral.com/bings-android-app-redesigned-brings-bit-metro-it
I use the maps piece of it as I find the traffic overlays are more accurate than Google maps traffic.
The issue from the other thread (which unfortunately escalated into a shouting match) is that the latest version of the Bing app has something going on whereby the market thinks it is not compatible with 2.3 roms (I've tried both IHO and asop) and you cannot download bing if you are running one of these roms. If, however, you download Bing using a 2.2 rom and then restore it to a 2.3 using Titanium or another backup program, the program runs fine.
I don't have many more details than this. If you want to help debug and solve this probem, please post! If you are not interested, please let us work on this without snide comments about "why would you want to use bing?"
And please, do not post in the IHO thread. All Bing discussion should remain here.
Only bing I care about are cherries and Crosby.

Afraid i'm little help.
I rarely to never use the market... haven't flashed gapps in over a month (never yet on iho)
I always search out app downloads on the interweb instead of using market.
if you try 4shared.com you might be able to get a current version of the bing app.
I only use northern lights

Yahoo uses Bing's search results. If you submitted to Yahoo, it's also on Bing.
While it doesn't show up in the google market it does in fact show up in the Amazon app store. This seems to be either an m$ issue or a market issue. Not sure why everybody is so passionate about this as there appear to be multiple ways to install it all legit like.
Unfortunately, the version in the amazon app store is very old (version 1.02.530.20110404 which is from April.) The latest version in regular Android market is 2.0.546.20010811, released August 15)

As pointed out amazons app store as amazing as it is. It is lacking in updated apps. Partly because the approval process is a pain in the ass and partly because some devs stop messing with amazon because of the trouble to get updated apps pushed.
Another thing amazon app store doesnt check your phone to see if you can install the app all the time. Only if the dev has specifically done so upon uploading. I can download apps that will not work on my optimus from amazon and android market has it hidden from me.
There's noway that someone could just post the apk?
So i'm running IHO id have to flash like bumblebee or something? download bing, backup and then reflash iho??
Or just get it from Amazon
Sent from my LG-VM670 using xda premium
Ok but the one on amazon is an old version.
To me, the issue is not so much having someone post a copy of the apk (which is really a band-aid fix.) Rather, I'l like to harness the collective brain of this community to determine a root cause and see if we can find a fix or patch.
For example, is the issue caused by the market seeing O/S 2.3 and thinking it's not compatible?
Or, is it caused by the carrier ID code? (So, for example, can we use Market Enabler https://market.android.com/details?id=ch.racic.android.marketenabler&hl=en to work around the problem?)
What's wrong with Bing? its not like anyone uses it >.>
so i tried market enabler and i still wasn't able to see the bing app on the market. But i think that market enabler does not work with the latest version of the market. is anyone here on a 2.2 device? try to download bing please!
So i am wondering. Does changing the build.prop to another device allow us to view ALL apps on the market. Because ATT is still blocking a lot of them. Or if not how.? I know this is a fairly simple task.

Is Google Talk one of the blocked apps? I mean you cannot see it in the market.
I can't see Google Talk on my marketplace, either. More disconcerting for me, though, is anyone else unable to see more than 20 or so apps when doing a search? It's like my marketplace isn't loading the next set of apps when I scroll to the bottom of a list.

My understanding is the GoogleTalk.apk was replaced by the new GoogleVoice.apk and integrated into one app.
isnt there a few apps that emulate other carriers market so you can see all the apps. like market enabler or market access

No - it is simply not available on the market an it never has been. That's why you see apps like Talk 1.3 Installer.
Note that you can see ANYTHING available on the market using market.android.com from a PC.

thats 100% correct, GB and HC have different API's, so tablet apps arent gonna happen till ICS releases and devs update apps with new APIs
What browser are you guys using? I'm using dolphin and although great on my phone I feel its lacking things for the tablet .. any way to get the tablet dolphin version? Or is there a better browser?

You can just download apps from exterInal sources only allowing it when you install one...
There is no need for this. And I sure hope your not talking about getting paid apps for free

Guys... as much as you know about rooting, I can say you have absolutely NO idea what jailbreak and Cydia is...
Cydia is like a one stop shop for everything jailbreak, it has themes, mods, hacks, and jailbreak only apps. It is NOT a place to sideload apps.
However, since Cydia is the only source of all things jailbreak, they do happen to have a (pretty popular) JB app called Installous which is pretty a shortcut for many apps on the app store (including paid).
But aside from that, Android probably won't have a universal Cydia like application thanks to diversity, different Android versions, AOSP/AOKP, manufacterer skins, and the list goes on. I believe Cyanogenmod was planning on releasing a root only app store, but even then it would not contain theming, mods, hacks like cydia does.

Also Google Play isn't as strict as the iOS App Store so some apps that are forced to go to Cydia on iOS would be able to list in Google Play if they made the same software for Android. The individual device customization stuff is hard to do since there are so many different devices. Hopefully someday Google adds a way to customize colors, fonts, etc to stock android.

Just because we have Androids doesn't mean we're limited from iOS, I know exactly what cydia is. A one stop shop for mods, tweaks, and apps that normally wouldn't be on the App Store. Sounds like the XDA forums to me actually as I describe it.
