I am running CM7 and installed the new android market apk from this forum. The new market works fine, but the "Top Paid" and "Top Free" lists are strangely showing many Korean apps. The prices of the paid apps are shown in the correct currency (Hong Kong dollar) though.
I tried "Market Enabler" and it can change both the listed apps and the currency. After many tries the market can sometimes show lists of local (Hong Kong) apps correctly, but the behavior is not consistent.
Does anyone know how the market determines which lists to show? Does it rely on the GPS/network-based locations?

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?
Hello All,
The topic says it all.
I am having Samsung Galaxy S2 with Cyanogen Mod which i recently updated to nightly build 7-11162011-NIGHTLY.
Even with this update and with the stable build whenever I go to the market to install Google Maps and Latitude, it always this application is not available in your country, which us kinda hard to believe.
Interestingly remaining within the very same country I can install and use Google Maps and Latitude Symbian version on my old Samsung Omnia HD i8910.
So does anyone know or have anyone tried to install all such google apps with country restrictions.
Thanks for your support.
Try using Market enabled app, its on the market but you need root access for it (I guess you have, if you have custom ROM)
It allows to fake the location to Market app, bypassing the location restrictions. Just open the app, press and hold the Network/Location you wish to fake and select fake the provider. Then just go to market app, restrictions should be gone.
Its very useful for this weird cases.
Hope it helps.
Anyone else getting large numbers of apps (esp games) not showing as compatible in market?
e.g. ADW EX, Cut the Rope.
At first I thought it was just me, but I had a chat with another XDA member, who sent me a screenshot of the android market saying his tablet S was compatible with ADW. On mine, its clearly greyed out. So I'm thinking there's something wrong with my tablet or google account?
Any hints appreciated
Hello,
Just because you mentioned about cut the rope game, i installed it and it plays OK (sony s 16gb).
Chris
sh-t that confirms it. Theres something wrong with my market account.
I've written to several app devs and they all say their app is marked compatible.
The two 'test' cases I'm using is cut the rope and ADW EX. Both are greyed out in web market, and just do not appear in tablet market.
I've tried clearing the cache and force stopping, no dice.
Anybody seen this before?
I just looked at market to see if I could find "cut the rope" and it shows up, and is compatible with my sony tablet s. It shows on my tablet market as well.
ADW EX also shows up here. no problems with them what so ever. I got the sgpt111us/s model.
There are a lot of Gameloft games that you have to sideload. And Gameloft does not bother to answer their support emails.
I had to side load the tivo application from my rooted OG to my tablet, but it works fine. Someday I will buy a premier so i can actually use it though!
Hello
I have this problem too.
I asked Sony support (Russia) about this problem.
They said that I could:
1. Clear market cache. It doesn't work.
2. Clear data. It doesn't work.
3. Delete update for market. It doesn't work.
4. update information about tablet from web android market. Here I have question :how could I do this?
I suspect its something to do with regions and region locking for certain apps, tablets and user accounts.
e.g. I am accessing market from Hong Kong location, but I'm normally based in Australia, and my google account/credit card etc. is all Aussie. I'll wait to see what happens when I get back to australia.
If there are region restrictions based on app, user account etc. IT SHOULD BE MADE CLEAR. google support fail (again....) its enough to make you consider a fricking fruit machine some times

it's good information to know and very helpful, albeit discouraging
I've been able to use Market Unlocker to allow Paid apps to be purchased in my country but are there any downsides to this? When Paid apps are made available in my Country will I be able to download the apps I purchased on the Proxy market on my actual market or not?
Hi there,
Recently I've noticed something strange. I'm in UK, country in my Play Store is set to UK, but I can't find or install apps that are specific to UK (I was able to do so in the past). Apps like MyBT, National Lottery ap, etc. They are not showing in Play Store. When I google them, and open via Play Store, it says "Item not found" or "this app is not available in your country".
Any Ideas what could be causing it?
Could you give a bit more information on what you did leading up to this finding (i.e. did you install a custom rom)?
I have noticed that when my National Lottery app told me that I need to update it. There were no updates in Play Store. Tried finding that app but couldn't. I googled the app and clicked the link which redirected me to Play Store app showing "Item not found". Play Store on web shows me "this app is not available in your country.". Same scenario with few other UK apps.

It sounds like a Google side issue and not your phone.
