I purchased a unlocked Hero which appears to come from Asia somewhere as the text input says Singapore, Thailand, etc. Anyway, the firmware on the handset is 2.73.707.9 is this the latest one? I know there was an update a few weeks back but it says I cannot download firmware from HTC Europe and HTC Asia doesn't have any firmware downloads. Also does HTC Sync work with Windows 7? And lastly, my girlfriend has a g1 and has Pandora in the market but I don't?? Thanks.
Yes that's the latest ROM. 2.73 is the rom number, I believe (but I'm open to correction) that the next 3 digits signify the region the rom has been released to.
With Pandora, I read somewhere that this has something to do with the Hero's "official" status in the US. Pandora is only available for "released" devices in the US and the Hero isn't yet fully releasesed. It should show up at some point though, just a question of patience.

I only use HTC Sync for tethering, but I can confirm that this function does work on Windows 7 RTM.

Try using Market Enabler to see if this helps.

Market Enabler didn't seem to do anything...also don't have ebuddy in market
With Market enabler you have to first end the market task, clear the cache and then apply the market enabler. Try this hope it works.
hmmm dont see your problem my htc hero first day downloaded pandora works great too
download Pandora to your GF's G1 and then use back up for root and copy the APK to your Hero
Just realized I need root for market enabler to work and the current rom that came preinstalled cannot yet be rooted =\

Sprint Hero?
I currently have a Hero (falling apart) and will be switching to a Wildfire very soon. One of my favourite apps is EZCam, which I hope is compatible with QVGA screens. Is anyone using this and can confirm it works.
I have tried the developer but have not received a response.

Hey dude, sorry to disappoint but EZCam does not appear in the Market when I search for it from my Wildfire. This doesn't necessary mean it's not compatible though, I'll see if I can get the install file onto my SD and try it from there. I'll post back when I have more info.

OK, the app does not appear in the Android Market when I search with the Wildfire like I said above. I went to a site which had a barcode for me to scan to go straight to the app in the Market and the Market still said it didn't exist.
So, I went to a, ah, less reputible source shall we say who had the .apk file to download and saved it to my Wildfire SD card. Installed it from there and it works fine as far as I can see, although I'm not near any speed cameras so I can't say for sure =o)
So in summery, the app does work on the Wildfire but because the Market does not allow you to download it (and pay for it!) you will have to go by a less legal way of getting the app and installing it. Hope this helps!
Thanks for investigating this for me. Your efforts are much appreciated.

Been looking on other forums for this, but to no avail...
Was looking for:
Pulse Reader
Team Coco
Lopez Tonight
and honestly, I just forgot to write them down... I was going to sideload them if I had too, but I thought about Appbrain ( which works ).
I cleared the market cache in settings and rebooted, still didn't work. Any ideas?
I was about to start exactly the same thread. I can't install most of the popular apps on my Flyer. No Raging Thunder, no NFS Shift, no Dolphin Browser... It seems nothing is compatible with my device. Android web market says "This item is not compatible with your device HTC Flyer P512".
Anyone experiencing the same? I'm living in Turkey, is this happening because of a regional restriction?
I did a full wipe of the device and still noticed things missing afterwards in the market.
Appbrain (which is a great little app ) and Appbrain.com seem to have allowed me to get -most- of what I can't find in the market by searching. Wierd eh?
This is honestly not what I was expecting since I had the Xoom and wanted a smaller form factor to use daily.

Thought that Market Enabler would only work with cell connected devices? And since ours is wifi only, it sees our source IP and blocks it?
edit: nevermind I see you have a 3G Flyer
I run into this problem as well on mine, so I just download on my DInc2, use Astro to backup and push it to a folder on my dropbox, and load from there....have done quite a few apps that way.
Convoluted, but it works

Honestly, I am baffled the devs haven't rooted this yet. I didn't get the vibe that HTC products were difficult considering how fast root is achieved on HTC phones. Totally different I suppose?

So this is not a technical limitation but a regional one. But why? I can't see the reason.

Most of the unavailable software are listed in HTC Likes app, but when I try to install, it says "The requested item could not be found".
Same goes for me. I can find the apps I'm looking for (mainly Google Voice) in appbrain, but when I try to install, the item cannot be found in the market, like when I search for them there... Really doesn't make any sense (pun intended). I can't get HTC likes to work for some reason, either... Different thread for that, though...

Good news: some titles have started to appear on the market.
Hi fellows,
I have got my Flyer a few days ago and absolutely loving it (like most of us here). However, I am a little stuck with something. There are a number of apps I don't find in the Android Market, which I had installed on my Desire S. For instance, below are the ones I find missing:
1- Marktplaats
2- Whatsapp
3- ABN AMRO Saldo
These are some of the must have apps for me. One thing I am suspecting is that since I have a Wifi only device, these apps might require a "phone" to get installed. Can someone here with a Flyer 3g version be kind enough to check these apps in the Android Market and let me know if they are available on the 3g models. If so, I'll sell mine and get a 3g version.
I also tried installing them from Appbrain but to no avail. Any other suggestion on how can I get them on my Flyer Wifi?
Thanks for your time and input in advance.
cheers,
Also on the last Facebook For Android Update it disappeared from my market too allthough i have it installed! (is not very good optimized for high res devices though).
BTW, Whatsapp doesn't shows up neither on my market.
Flyer 32GB/3g version.
I've noticed that many things are missing from the Market as well. When I go to the market through the browser and try to manually install it, I get an error that says my phone is not supported.
That implies to me that if your Flyer can't run it, it won't even show up in the market. This also goes for if the developers "update" an app and somehow neglect to add Flyer support... then it'll disappear from the market.
The app that I was trying to get was Netflix, which now works for Gingerbread... but doesn't work yet for our Flyers... They are still working on it, I'd guess...
Actually I've noticed apps that require the permission for "Phone: Read State of the Phone" or something like that, don't work most probably because we don't have phone.apk or dialer or whatever it is that lets you make phone calls.
App devs should consider tablets not to have this and remove it from the permissions they require.

Actually the 3G version does have a phone (disabled), SMS contacts etc. most of these apps should run just fine on the flyer. HTC really messed up with leaving the actual phone option disabled on this causing poor user experience both in regards to market access and actual usability.

True, they should just allow it to be used as a phone. Solves everything.

Firstly, a brand new device (my DHD went through this) is only able to see generic Google apps for about 1-2 months after launch.
Secondly (this does not apply to the OP) apps are limited by your location for who knows what reasons (Rights/social/religious restrictions ).
I have had 3x Android devices and live in the Mid-East. Google market is bare bones here but as soon as I take my devices back to UK... The curtains open on all the fair fields of app pleasure...
Can't get any dang updates when back here though... Anyone PM me the latest Fotmob apk?

for me it can't be location related. I have Desire S and Flyer both and live in The Netherlands. Apps on Desire S don't show up on my Flyer. I have also seen that Phone access is also not the factor (as some suspected), as some of the apps I have loaded on my Flyer did require Phone access and they installed even when Flyer is not a phone and mine is not even a 3G. Not sure what is keeping the full list of Android market apps to show up on Flyer.
I am also having trouble finding certain apps and I have the Evo View. Specifically Google Voice. I can get it to come up on App Brain but it says i can only download it from the Market which tells me it can't be found . I was kind of hoping to be able to do voice calls on this thing.
Contacted HTC
I'm not sure if anyone has contacted HTC yet about the missing apps so I sent them an email last night. I have the Evo View 4G and think the missing app problem can be resolved. At least I hope so. I don't mind installing APKs, but it doesn't make for easy updates and, frankly, we really shouldn't have to.
I do understand that certain apps won't be compatible with every device and these tablets are new to the market. But I think the ones that ARE missing are strange.
I haven't contacted HTC but I did send an email to the developer of one of the missing apps. No word yet. Even if you download APK from appbrain website and install "web installer" apk from the market, it still doesn't install the app. So it is not just not-showing issue, those apps are somehow not compatible with HTC flyer. Not sure what the difference is. Let's see if you get any response back from HTC.
HTC Response
Well, I did receive a response and basically was told to do what you've done and contact the developers.
"I understand that with you HTC Evo View 4G is not able to pull certain applications on the Market. With those applications I checked the Market on our tablet and they were not listed for me either. I believe with the device being so new the developers of those applications have yet to put the Evo View on their device list which allows people with those devices to download those applications. It is up to the developers to add support for the Evo View. I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused."
Not exactly sure how other 'new' device get automagic app support without developers going in and checking the compatibility settings. Doesn't really make sense.
Agree! I don't think there would be a check box in the app somewhere for Flyer compatibility, which all of these developers missed to tick. Anyway, thanks for sharing the response from HTC. I'll send that to the developer and see if I get something back this time.
Let me know what you hear back from the Dev and if I need to get HTC back on the line, I will happily do so.
that's really strange. If I follow the link to the missing app on market.android.com, it works on my PC. But when I click on the same link from my HTC Flyer, it says "requested item could not be found". It really seems like that the access is blocked for HTC Flyer. May be we need to spoof the identity to install these apps.
I have forwarded HTC's response to the dev and let's see what they come back with.
Cheers,
OK. I made some more progress on this one. If I go to market.android.com and try to install ABNAMRO SALDO app (the one I am using as a test case), I see this (attached).
It lists all my Android devices and you can read what it says under HTC Flyer. Translation: this item is not compatible with your device.
I have sent email to ABNAMRO dev team. Waiting to hear from them. Will keep everyone posted.
I get the same thing here for the View. Keep me posted. Anxious to see what the dev comes back with. Also ready to contact HTC again. Good luck!

Don't get that mad on the "phone disabled" thing. it just happened with the Facebook For Android official app. The last update just went away while other apps updated without problems.
Is not only not showing up since the beggining, is also disappearing once we were able to download them.
BTW, i have audiogalaxy installed which checks "phone status" and works w/o problems.
Anyone got this or a link to get the latest version as I can't update it from the play store just say's it's not compatible with my device

That might be a difficult one to track down. Have you tried installing it from the web play store instead of from your device? Sometimes that works for some reason.

I've attached it to this post, not sure if its the latest version but its one I extracted from a phone running GB for my girlfriend after she had the same problem with it saying it wasn't compatible on her Nexus S with ICS.
Thank you
I recommend caution when installing these kind of apps from apks found on the web; there is always the chance that they have been modded to steal your banking info, so what I'd suggest for further updates is to try some kind of market enabler app rather than go online searching for it.
Don't say that i've already installed it you know when you download a app from the play store does it store it anywhere on your phone first
Hi guys, really appreciate the work you guys are doing, this is actually my first post, feel kinda bad that it's only because I want something. So apologies for that.
I currently have the RBS banking app installed on my Galaxy Nexus. However it has recently been updated to allow users to make cardless atm withdrawals. Probably because I have a rooted device google are not letting me update to that version.
I would be quite happy to make a donation if someone would post it for me, many thanks in advance.
