thanks buddy,ur link help me lot..

weird that i heard LG Optimus comes with "with google" slogan.....

Did anyone get Market to get working on the LG Optimus P503 yet? I have this problem on my son's phone now, any info will be appreciated. Has anyone tried Market Enabler?
Thanks in advance!

i also bought a p503 here in Turkey, it is just annoying not to be able to log on ANDROID MARKET. I read the suggested thread regarding flashing the ROM. Hovewer, it is a bit too risky here in Turkey cause it breaks the warry terms.
Can anyone simply suggest another way to activate th ANDROID MARKET?
thans by now

I learned the hard way that access to the Market or to specific apps from the Market are not phone related, but location related.
Yeah, try imagining my surprise when every single internet site said I can download and install Google StreetView from the Market, yet the damn application was nowhere to be found. So there I was, searching for the application using my computer when I found the Google Market site accessible from PC. It asked me to authenticate using my Google account - so they knew who I am, where I live, what type of phone I have and what mobile operator I use. Therefore, when I found the StreetView app, the download button was inactive because "this application is not available for your provider" or something like that. Whaaaat? Yet, when I finally found the .apk somewhere and installed it from sdcard, the app worked perfectly.
So Google restricted my access to that specific application. As it does to ALL the paid versions of the Market applications because there's no way yet to pay for them here in Romania. Therefore I have reasons to believe that your access to the Market is entirely forbidden because of where you live or because of your mobile carrier and another ROM may not make any difference.
I really, really hope I am wrong.

You can try root + market enabler, it is a solution.

How about just pushing the Market APK to your phone? If your phone has a browser, you should be able to do a quick search at 4shared: http://search.4shared.com/q/1/vending apk just choose the newest one, download and install

hi
plz try this

regd the last post on March 10th,
The solution you posted does not work.inputting the imei doesnt make anything happen. it says connection error or wrong ussd. if you got any other solutions without rooting, let me know. Thanks

AppBrain find it this app, market not. When i try to shows app details in market, but via AppBrain, then market says 'Not find - Cannot find requested item'.
Where is the problem.
In app installer.
App installer have all informations what app can be installed what cannot.
Any ideas how to change this?

I don't know for sure, but i heard that apps that you can find on the market are depends of your country.Also, i saw a programm to change your region settings in market.If you need it, i can find it.
I know about depends of country - i ask my friends to search this apps in
their android phones (Milestone, GalaxyS, G1, Spica).
Only market on X8 is blind for these items.
There is a reason for restrictions on the country.
try market enabler
search it in 4 shared "market enabler.apk"
Market Enabler is used for something else.
My problem is not depended of operator or country.
Have a look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=742608
It should solve your problem with market.
i have the market but when i use market enabler i see more apps
for eg. "skype"

You can merge it into one yourself.
Market enabler allows you to download paid apps.
So maybe try clear the cache,reboot and start again.
Please, dont write if you dont read all posts in thread.

i have same problem
i cant find adyno app on market -_-
Solution found on xda (solves problem with Goggles)
The problem with applications such as Goggles or QuickMark comes from the lack of autofocus in the Xperia X8.
The solution is simple (found somewhere on xda):
1. copy to the directory /system/etc/permissions file android.hardware.camera.autofocus.xml.
2. Set permission to at least 644.
3. Xml file can be downloaded from the address http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=425158&d=1287842085 or from the attachment.
4. Uninstall the updates of Android market,
5. Reset the phone.
After restarting you can find in the Market and install such apps like Goggles.
After that an update of Market does not change anything and the solution works.
This is not mine solution (except uninstalling Market - without this step it won't work) and all the credit goes to the original author).

Help to find APK files.

I have problems connecting to the android market, and was wondering if you know any sites where I can download those free APK files, Without going through android market
Android market gives me headaches!
Not sure if I can link to other sites...
Do a google search of the app name you are look for, I am sure there will be lots results coming up...
Maybe your problem stems from the fact, that you have disabled the "background data" options? I remember, I have wasted half an hour before I came, without this i always gett Google server error answer...
Regards
forysiuk111
Use http://www.appbrain.com/
Sorry.. Appbrain links back to Android market
you can use the install feature on http://market.android.com/
I have to use it, because the app on my phone don't want to update or install anything by itself.

Missing apps in market...

Hi everyone,
Since Saturday a happy Galaxy SII user, but coming from a LG Optimus 2x I notice something strange:
I miss some(?) apps in the market.
e.g. Flitsieflitsie, ikea, tubemate...
The LG finds them in the market and my desire found them as well.
I know there are market fixes around, but I am not rooted yet and have no plans yet to do it because of warranty reasons.
Ridiculous that certain apps are blocked.
Anyone noticing this too?
I bought it from the T-Mobile shop in the Netherlands, they did not put any branding on as far as I am aware.
Does the language choice influence anything?
Have you tried market-enabler http://code.google.com/p/market-enabler/downloads/detail?name=MarketEnabler.apk
Root needed for market enabler
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Same thing here, I cannot see some apps in the market (Evernote, Slice It! etc). If I try to follow some market links from the internet, the market just says that the program is not found. Also they're not found with the Market search.
I've tried clearing Market cache and data, booting, updated firmware etc.
Phone is a rooted KE7, bought from Expansys UK and I'm using it in Finland. Tried to change areas with MarketEnabler, no go, still some apps doesn't show up. There's huge amount of software showing up though, just some specific apps are missing. I just confirmed that they show up on a friends SGS2.
Any ideas how to fix this? Maybe I should try a factory reset, but I really wouldn't want to do that if it's not absolutely necessary.

Thanks jje, but that doesn't really help. The download links in appbrain point to android market, in which they cannot be found with the device. Additionally I cannot install the AppBrain-app, because it's among the apps I cannot find in market.
When clicking direct market links, market just says "The requested item could not be found."
Even if I could use the appbrain application, I'd like to fix the root problem.
Anyone got similiar issues? Or suggestions about fixing it?
Well, did a factory reset and that resolved the issue, now the market shows all apps.
As an afterthought, latest version of Titanium Backup wasn't able to restore any of my datas, just apps. I just got a error message that said "Unable to restore data" or somesuch.
Downgrading Titanium Backup to one version prior fixed this issue, and I could restore my backups.
this method works and is easier:

Welcome to the lucky few that have bought this wonderful machine.
I bought mine in usa, and got an american market. Ok, not much fuss about that, but when I got back home to Sweden it got transformed to Swedish version. All I had to do was change the language. Not sure if this helps much.
You can find a market.apk file on the XDA forums here but it sounds like it's locating you and making Chinese the default language. Try looking into settings in the market app or the tablet in general and turning off the "use my location" features which will probably override other settings...
Same thing..
Btw... the Chinese market called "HiMarket version 2"
any Idea
Did you try and change your locale or did you try and download the apk file and install it over te old one ?
might try this "location & security - My Locaton" uncheck all three.
"Language & input" change to another language, maybe uk if you have us and vice a versa.
"date & time" selecte a different timezone
Maybe this will help.

it did not, I tried it many times ..
I think i need to download an official Android market .. but i don't know how !
Where was it used first? It may be that it just remember the first use in china and maybe removing google account from sync in settings first, then clearing data from applicaations settings. Then adding google account again and starting market on a usa wifi will fix all for you. If it still goes not help try what happens if you start a weblink to a market app from somewhere here. It should give you an option to run via browser or market-see if that could be a workaround.

Sounds like you have tried most of it.
Have you concidered trying to do a reset/factory reset? See if that helps.
Yes, I did...
Could anyone upload an apk android market for me?
Any Idea How to solve this problem ?
I'm at work so can't access the site to find the direct link for you, but back in the day when the "new" market first came out, I got it off 4shared.
I hope this helps

After installing the Market.apk I get a pop-up asking to add an account and either option just closes the Market. I tried going to the Android Market through the internet browser but whenever I try to download something it says I don't have an Android device connected to the Google account. I have also tried setting up my Google account through the email option in the tablet but it still says I have no Android device synced
How to solve this issue?
Any Idea??
Try manage applications > market >clear cache. then clear data.
then do the same for download manage, now that you have a diff market installed it might have crappy data lingering around.
---------- Post added at 04:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:38 AM ----------
OR if there is anything in applications such as account or accounts and sync, clear cache and data of that too!
OK so this information will probably not help you at all, but on the Milestone 2 forums, a member flashing a chinese leak gingerbread update reported that there were no google account menus, no market and had an alternate market called apps2you or something.. can't remember. Anyway, he said once he installed the market.apk it would only crash and do things like what you described. Unfortunately no-one in the thread responded about that issue.
I'm starting to think you may need to get on a different firmware...
---------- Post added at 06:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:21 AM ----------
Ok just found this article
Summary: You need root access to enable a proxy hack as a work around to access the english market
Alternative is using the Chinese market.
Hi
Hi i think i can answer your question, the answer is no, you cannot use any google service or software in your andriod system which bought in China, the reason is that because of the conflict between google and Chinese government, the Chinese government had decided to banned any google service running in China, those including google search, gmail, google map and all google service in andriod sysytem, so thats why you cannot install andriod Market in you tablet. Even you may find andriod market from somewhere, but you still cannot install it, because to install google software or service, you need rooting right to put the google service frame into the andriod system with system authority not application authority(e.g.you install a game). Thereofre before your tablet s1 root, you cannot use any google service on you tablet s1. Hope this help.
Hey, having the same problem, and pretty sure it's due to the government thing. I spoke to some helpline who said the only thing to do is live with it.
However, perfectly willing to root the thing, maybe even give it ICS update if possible?
The thing is, will the software be sufficiently similar for the same rooting technique to work? Or will it just screw up what I have left of the system?

market enabler cant fake my provider anymore

so i was using market enabler 1.8.5 for about a year now and everything was going great until just last night when i tried going into the US market and the play store 3.10.10 still displays my local market ... I've tried installing market access , market unlocker and even newer versions of market enabler with no luck... also tried using the droidVPN app but no luck there either .... cleared the cache, cleared data , rebooted ... ive done everything and nothing is happening and the play store still displays my local market
i wish someone could help me with faking my provider because its really driving me crazy ..
update :
i tried restoring a nandroid backup back when the market enabler was working, and guess what ?!
STILL not working .. i am going crazy here !
thanks

I have the same problem. I thought it's only me and my device. I didn't find solution even that I tried everything you wrote. So, I am also asking if somebody know any solution for this.
Thanks...
same problem here
Same here ..
Same issue happened with me, when I saw my region I was surprised as to what happened and checked again, when going to final transaction it shows US. but still, it's driving me nuts. Google Play Services might be responsible for this, it tends to update itself
Same problem... I thought it was only my phone.
I used it to fake to Japanese market, so it is not a region problem. Market must have updated something :crying:
I just found out a few hours ago hence, i found this post.
Anyone knows how to fake market again? :crying: IT IS A PAIN WITHOUT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
same here
Same problem as well !!!!
Never used that app, anything good in the us market?

Happening to me too. Started two days back. Tried all methods. different versions of market enabler, market access and market unlocker. Tried downgrading play store to 3.7.XXXX. Doesn't work. Automatically upgrades itself to 3.10.XXXX, a few minutes later. Tried different ROMS, not working. Tried ViperX, CM10, icecoldjelly on my HOX. Restored to a previous time when market access was working, doesn't work no more. The only possible explanation for me is that google has blacklisted me, or blocked me, or whatever. Maybe using a different google account might work.
3 different apps (MarketEnabler, MarketAccess, Market Unlocker) not working for me anymore either. The weird thing is that Google Play Store from the browser still sees my phone as T-Mobile US i9100, but I don't see the buy button anymore.
I guess google changed the way it's fetching relevant data from the phone... any fixes yet?
Don't work anymore for me ! I use Market Access since my Galaxy S1 (i have S3 now)
Same here. It just stopped to work half a day ago. Clearing market data, rebooting and reverting to 2.6 market doesn't seem to help. It's really annoying since I live in China...
I heard that VPN/proxy may solve this problem but I don't have an VPN or proxy to try it out.
Besides, since many people are having this problem in these few days but not all at once, maybe this has something to do with our account/credit card/purchase history or something. Anyone tried to use another account, or maybe use the same account on another device?
OK I tried it myself, flashed a new rom, got a new Gmail account (without CC), reinstalled market unlocker and it didn't work. Removing SIM card didn't help either. Guess we have to use VPN/Proxy.
PS: It seems that market unlocker works with PC play store though.
Guess we are stuck like this. People who live in us or gb, or someplace where the play store doesn't suck, are really very lucky. This is driving me crazy. Not being able to download top free apps and games........ not even temple run 2.....root explorer......nothing... why cant google let us select a region, then at least the cool free ones will be available to everyone. yeah...ill keep dreaming
any solutions ????
Same problem, but VPN solution does not appear to help unfortunately
