Noticed that as well lately, when scrolling down in the market the same apps keeps coming up...don't know what's the reason for it, you might think it is easy to filter double apps out for google...

Missing apps from market

Hi guys,
I have a generic UK firmware 026 for x10i.
A few days ago I reflashed my phone using SEUS as I was having a few problems with the phone.
After reinstalling i noticed there are quite a few apps I cannot find in market. They were there before flashing but now it just cannot find in search.
Is there a fix for this?
I know there is a fix for rooted phones but mine isn't rooted and also its for version 020.

I have also noticed this after debranding and going to 026 in uk was krange branded 020 before

Yeah but I'm baffled. I'm not rooted or manually debranded. My phone is factory sim free and I'm using stock 026 firmware why should I have this issue?

because some providers block some apps... and some apps are not available in some country...
Try to find your apps on WiFi... if it is not found... there a country lock...
With Market Fix, your X10 is open to all apps...

Sorry but your theory doesn't really make sense. I had apps available before reflashing. I had 026 before and still have now. All I did was reinstall.
But have tried you WiFi theory, that failed I'm afraid.

The market fix replace 2 system files, so root is needed to do that..
I'd debrand my French X10 on 014 to an sweeden 026 (for no serve me), some of french apps are not avalable after that...
With the Market FIx, i can found it again...
So, i tell you a solution, if you don't believe it, wait if some one have an other solution..
Same problem for me.
Hi,
Same problem here. Have a German device flashed to Generic Nordic. Live in sweden. Installed som swedish apps and it was all green (some of them I also had installed befor the flash). After quite some time I wanted to star over from scratch again (had so many bad apps I didn't use that I wanted to totally get rid of).
I used SE Updateservic and did a repair.
Still on Generic Nordic, bur now several apps can't be found for me any more, though I just had them. I thought that I should try to repair the device again, but at the same time 2.1 was just around the corner.
But now when 2.1 is delayed I maybe try to see if another repair can fix things.

Try www.appbrain.com, here in Canada I swear they block all the good apps. This was the only way I got some apps on my phone.

So from what I understand will this allow you to view market apps from other countries and see everything relesed instead of the market saying it can't find what your looking for?
Quite a few times iv been on appbrain and you click on an app, it goes to the market and it won't find what you just clicked even though its shown on appbrain.
Could someone clarify for me? Thanks in advance

How could you download directly from AppBrain? It takes you to market and it says that its not available
Right guys, all your suggestions were useless, but thanks for trying, and those who kept banging on about country restrictions- you were just talking nonsense as it was not the problem I was having, as I thought I had explained but noone seemed to grasp.
Anyway I believe I have worked out the solution to this problem myself.
Go to setting, applications, manage applications, market, uninstall updates(this will take you back to original factory version, and will reset market)
Don't worry as market will Automatically update itself a few hours later.

[Q] Problem With Android Market

Hi! I got recently problem with my Android Market. I'm not quite sure what's the problem, but I think because I removed the important system applications. You know google's apps. The problem is that when I want to download an app from the market, it just stands on beginning to download the app, it never goes further....
How should i fix this?
Please help me.
Regards Paul
Can you try to delete the market app from /system/app back it up to sd card
And then place it back and reboot
Not sure if it will work but worth a try

I can test, but I don't think it will work..
Go to settings - manage applications and scroll down to market (impt: only market app and not the other market related apps) and then uninstall updates. And then download the apps u want.

Market servers are down. Be patient . WIll be normal soon
yes, I have had issues as well. No "downloads" were showing...
downloaded one app and now they are back.
could have been a Market server issue as well, but was screwed up for 2 days.
btw: the uninstall updates trick does work in most cases when Market is acting up
is the server still down ?
because i faced the same problem since couple of days

But so i get it right, it's nothing wrong with my phone. It's wrong with the server on Android Market?
I had this problem from last thus till yesterday. Was so p'd off I uninstalled the markets app. I'd recently updated and after uninstall the app was still there but as the previous version, it's working fine now. So I think it's something to do with the updates.

New market app. Some apps in german?

I downloaded an apk for the new market app, and since installing this, I've noticed quite a few app descriptions are in german; an example of this is the game order and chaos, does this have a german description for everyone else? Anyone else had this problem after manually installing the new market app and have a fix?

I've gone back to the stock market app now and descriptions are now in english.

that's the one thing my GF is always *****ing about since I got her to finally ditch her iPhone and get a SGS2, most descriptions in the market are in english only and there is no way to determine if the game itself is german. I have to agree with her on that, I myself am sometimes annoyed by the lack of information provided on the market.
I noticed the same thing on mine with the new market and also got some russian thrown in for good as well!
Maybe they are testing it on different languages on a random basis when it pulls down the information from the internet?

market app disappeared

I am rooted and running stock GB. All of a sudden, my Market App disappeared. To fix the problem, I downloaded and installed Market_3.4.4; however, the icon does not appear in my "Applications". Any help would be appreciated.
I'm going take guess and say that you are looking for Google Play. I'm assuming your market dissapeared because it updated to the new "market". I could be wrong though.

Find the phone for 'Play Shop'
Sent from my HTC Wildfire S A510e using XDA
That would be because the market no longer exists under that name. It is now the Google Play Store. Search for the Play Store app.
You guys, and gals, always come through. Thanks for your help.
This. Is absolutely hilarious. You know when it updates it even pops a screen up and asks u to click to continue? So instead of googling any kind of answer your first thought was "omfg my market! I should post about this! Who need to search when i can have other people do it for me! scoooore !"
