actually the market fix wont work because he said he was NOT rooted. you will have to install the app manually threw either adb or a file manager like astro.
I've got the market fix, I'm running jcase's rooted v3 rom. I used to see the Skype app in the market but I'm not seeing it tonight. Anyone else having this problem?
Hello guys . I presently use trigger 3.2 rom on my vibrant, but right from when I bought the phone with stock rom 2.1 I have never spotted paid apps in the market. I also notice there are some free apps too missing from my market e.g the CNN app. I use my vibrant in Nigeria and now that the android market is open for users here to purchase paid apps its more important that I get these problem solved. I have tried the Eris market fix but still no solution . All I see on my market is 'top free' and 'just in' apps.
Please, can anyone offer some help?

You might have already tried this, but I usually do this when I am having troubles with apps and such not showin up. Settings>Applications>Find Market>Clear data. Your market should restart.
Thanks mcmicham. But even after doing that, there is still no change. I have done it times over like you mentioned. I just can't view paid apps. All I see is 'top drew's apps. I need help!

I've actually put a topic too on this same issue. I used to use Dolphin HD and recently tried Opera. If I search for it its not there. I tried looking for Opera Full, Appbrain, and many others and they don't appear. I have used SGS Tools and tried the market fix and cleared cache, data and even had a update through my Rom that I thought would fix it and nothing. I have no clue what else to do???

Peecs121, I just Googled a lot now and found out that an app in the market can help
Its called 'market enabler'. Though its not permanent , but can fix your market to help you view both paid apps and missing ones. You can try it out. However, I am still open to whoever can help out in solving this permanently . A lot of other people here nigeria can view paid apps on their galaxy s. Why mine?

Try clearing data thru titanium backup. Then use market doctor also thru titanium backup. That usually works for me.
Trigger 3.3
Hey I figured it out!! In the market settings it was set wrong on the content filtering so I changed it to see all apps and there all back!! All the ones I have been searching for.

Kind of as expected, nobody cares if they can't have a conniption in a ROM thread.
People use Bing? Weird.

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

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!
Did I do something wrong upon installation or is anyone else having this problem?

Hmm, i just opened market, went to apps, and found youtube. Downloaded and installed just fine.
1. Perhaps you should install the gapps 20110828 again, and install with ROM Manager.
link is here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version/Google_Apps
2. when in doubt, you could always use the patch:

hopefully this'll get it all fixed up for ya.
you need to flash a market fix. The market hides them because it thinks they don't work well on the screen size.
i lied, fix is actually linked on this forum as well

CM7 Alpha 2.1 is supposed to incorporate this patch, but I'm not sure if it works correctly for those people updating without wipes.
I was not able to find youtube application and when i searched in browser and open the link market I got message that in my country I was not allowed to install it. What a BS
So onlyway was to find an apk

I get YouTube n all that Google ish but the problem I'm having is when I search for something n tap the number of results it doesn't show all 1500 apps it only shoes about 90.

Try "Craigslist HD" app. Can't find it on touchpad and Its specifically for tablets. Also, is there a fix for not being able to see all the search results? Search gives 50 results sometimes but only shows the first 20 or so.
Both these problems occurred on alpha 1 and 2.1, and with the market fix flashed.

Hi
Hopefully I'm posting this in the right place. I don't think this is an issue specific to my phone model.
I have this really annoying issue. When I go into the Android Market (or Play Store) and I look at my apps it previously showed purchased apps but now it shows all the apps I've ever installed. If I want to install an app I purchased previously I have to search through all the hundreds of apps I have ever installed!
I've tried to find a resolution via Google but I keep getting results showing how to clear market search history.
Does anyone know what I'm referring to and know how to fix this? Like I said, previously before I upgraded to ICS the market only showed installed apps and purchased apps that I haven't installed, now it shows every app I have ever installed and it seems to include apps I installed on my android tablet!
Thanks
Lee

Welcome to the new play store. This is intentional and functions the same as the iOS app store.

Hi
Thanks for the reply. Its an annoying idea. We should at least have the option to turn it off. If I try an app and don't like it I uninstall it, why would I want to constantly see an app that I don't want! Haha.
I like Android because, among other things, it isn't iOS.
Thanks
