missing apps in the market. do i need 3g? - HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G

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?

I see. I've tried searching for Mega Jump in the Market and it doesn't show. I tried side loading it, and it works now.

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.

Problems with the Market? FIX! (mostly)

SO I and MANY others have been experiencing a "regional restriction" set by either HTC, or the Market on the Flyer, which doesn't exist on any other device (that I know of). I was browsing my Pulse feeds, and came along an article reviewing this app. I thought I'd give it a shot, and sure enough, some of the apps I couldn't install on my Flyer were INSTALLED! I sent the apk's from my phone (EVO 4G) to myself in GMail, and BAMM! I only tried a few, but now have Google Voice, Bank of America, and more on my Flyer! I thought I'd share, since the problem is pretty wide spread, as I've read on MULTIPLE forums... Hopes this alleviates some frustration!

Now if that would work with Netflix, I would be very happy. I'm going to try it, but think there are other limitations.

Really strange...I'm in the US and got Netflix no problem...But I can't get Google Voice app nor Bank of America.
Woah ... Now I don't see Netflix in the market. I mean I did before, I installed it. I thought it would be listed with an orange "Installed" beneath it...Maybe it was temporarily there by some random chance and I snagged it??
Launching Netflix it asks me if I want to update, there's a new version. I say ok and it can't find the file to update. So it's definitely gone now and I can't update...But I can hit cancel and use it like normal.

What is up with that restriction? I've been getting the same problem for NFS SHIFT. Can't find gvoice on the market.
And the most annoying one. Is the YouTube videos only playing the first 20 secs of each video. I tried factory reset but nothing.
I got my flyer from ebay, I wonder if there's a way to check this restriction you are talking about.
Btw I downloaded the Google voice apk and it worked. NFS (which I already purchased) won't work even after installing the apk.
I used the app that is linked in the first post to email the .apk for every useful app from my old Droid x and my Evo 4g phones. Without exception, they all work on my HTC EVO View.
When I called HTC about the Bluetooth Hands Free profile not being available on the EVO View / Flyer, I brought-up my frustration about apps that work on the device not being available on the market. He blamed the problem on Google and Sprint. He said HTC had nothing to do with restricting availability of apps.

I wonder if I have an European flyer which has different market ? Google voice is US only, makes sense to exclude it from the UK market. Maybe that's the case ? Is there a way to check?
Also same thing with video restrictions due to location including YouTube won't play on my flyer. Im almost positive that's what's going on, I got it on eBay, so it could be anything, even Asian.

I sideloaded the google voice .apk, then added the EVO View's number to my Google Voice account. The Google Voice inbox Widget works fine and keeps me from having to fool around with my phone while driving. I doubt if it would work with the Flyer, since it does not have a phone number.
Tried to correct spelling, wound-up double posting. If a moderator could delete this one, I would appreciate it.

Viber now available for android

But it seems it's not compatible with my 3g flyer. Anyone know a way around this? Is the apk floating around somewhere?

I had to install it on my phone, register it. then back it up with TB and restore using TB on my Flyer. THEN it worked, otherwise it would just force close on startup.
oh interesting. I just got force closes after installing apk and gave up...will give titanium backup a go. Guess I have a reason to root now!
.
If you have a 3G Flyer and can not see certain apps on the market, it is due to carrier/country limitations.
First, I advise you save your desktop theme (or it will reset to default HTC, as when you bought it)
Borrow a US or European SIM card from someone (if you don't already have one) , shut down and then insert it into the Flyer.
You will be asked to confirm your Google password and then when you go to the market, it will be open.
Soz to the WiFi only guys, this is something that will not work for you until PPTP VPN is working for Android so you can fake your location..(or does anyone think that's WHY, PPTP encrypted has never worked... Hmmm)

It is true as far as the country/carrier situation (or did you not read my post! I can use sign language if you wish. )
You may be in the US (country) but your carrier may not allow viber to be listed as it is a voip package and they would lose their nice call profits.
If an app still does not show no matter what country/carrier, then that is down to the actual developer not having approved your device in the compatibility list. Either there is a real compatibility problem or he just ain't got around to it yet.
Don't moan if you sideload it and it screws your device....

Issue [SOLVED] > market > search results found doesn't equal search results shown.
Hello fellow's
Have you guys noticed that since the new android market came upon us, that there is troublesome to not say impossible to find some applications using the search function.
For instance, if I search "mario"; I will have 3 apps showing. All though the top bar says it found over 2000 results. Nevertheless I would not be able to download or even have these results displayed for me.
It's probably worth mentioning that I'm not the only one that having this issue. I've noticed that ALL phones have the same issue as I do. Some of these different phones have custom kernels and custom roms, but not all. So there's no need for searching error in roms, phones, etc.
I have successfully uninstalled NEW Android Market from my phone and restored the OLD android market.
It works just fine as it displays all search results that are found.
Yet the problem remains since google has arranged a silence update of market. Within 30 minutes I have the new market once again installed.
* Is there any solution?
* If not, is it possible to turn off silent updates?

"It F***ing prints money!"
Me too i have problem with market from XDAndroid it doesen't show all application : /
My guess is that everyone are having the same experience. Although I don't think too many are aware of this, rather major, bug.
To clarify for those who still doesn't have a clue of what I'm talking about:
Pay attention to the top bar where the search hits are stated. Remember this number of found apps. Compare this to how many apps you REALLY are shown. Shouldn't be too many scrolls until you reach rock bottom. XD
Also.. Let us try to exclude that this hasn't got anything to do with any regional restrictions of any kind, by stating our nationality, carrier, brand of phones/tablets, custom/stock rom and the current status of the search function in android market, at the beginning of our first posts in this thread. I'll probably be first one out to do this.
For all your convenience; just copy/paste the template below:
[Country]»
[Carrier]»
[Phone]»
[Rom]»

[Country]» SWEDEN

"It f***ing prints money!"
When you do a search in the new market only a few apps show.
You have to tap on the bar that tell you how many apps found and the rest will show.

I wish it would be that easy.
I don't mean to be rude in no way. But have you even tried that yourself?
My experience says that's bogus. If it would be pushable then probably it would look more like a button or clickable link, wouldn't it?
200.000.000.000$ Google inc. Should atleast provide hints on how to get all apps to show. Besides the billions; Google is the world largest internet search provider. It would be a great FAIL by Google if this isn't a big bug.
Nevertheless, button or not, the tapping trick will not do it. I've tried that on atleast 8 phones, different brand, different roms, different kernels. It just makes me feel stupid, tapping like a freak on my friends phones.
If you still claims that tapping is the trick. Then I would like you to take screenshots of it.
Please search for "Mario" and post screenshots of new market showing more than 5 results of Mario.
And if it is true that tapping is the way to go. Then we've probably have got ourselves a regional issue.
Also... Please provide information about your country, phone, rom, etc, etc,
The End.

Same problem.
Only just noticed it now. Thought it was my phone as google searches would not yield any results for me on the problem, probably due to wrong wording mind. I'm on stock Motorola atrix 2.2 UK rom with newish market update.
What a major oversight by google, surely they should have fixed this by now.
I do a search for music and the grey bar says there are 25978 results I click on the tab arrow to display what I assume will be the 25978 app results. I get 20 apps, that's it? Everyone here who has actually noticed still having this issue I take it?
I have this issue too. Was trying to search for "Handcent" but it returns only 2 results, neither are the actual app.

easy fix for market.
Use any apparently that will freeze apks. Freeze market upgrader. Then uninstall market updates in manage applications. Once you uninstalled the update,you'll be back on the old market until you unfreeze the market updater. Hope this helps.
Even though I'm not rooted I have had that happen to me as well. Another problem I have is getting stuck in download loops. The only fix is to reboot my phone.

If you can't get the app you want, than that's a real issue. You could search for it on you PC on the android market and then install from there to you phone.

That was exactly what I was hoping for. How to disable that stupid silent update of google.
That really did the trick!
I can't understand how I possible could have missed that obvious application; "Market Updater.apk", when going through system apps over and over again, looking for the damn silent updater application.
I greatly appreciate your help. I was about to surrender to Google's ignorance and become one of it's stupidity.
Again, thank you for taking your time helping.

Liquid Gingerbread 3.1, flash issues, market issues..

Firstly, I want to say that the ROM is fantastic, I'm loving it!
Recently Im coming into issues, though. Any websi te with flash. Its saying I need flash, and when I go to the market to update flash, it says its not compatible with my phone.. in fact. A lot of apps on the market are saying not compatible with my phone now.. Any ideas? Thanks
Bump... Need a fix please =/
Samething is happening with mine too.

Bump..... Please help?
First, get titanium backup. Completely uninstall flash via TB, then reboot. Download flash from the market and it should work fine.
If after that you end up with flash audio but no sound, then you need to get an app called " root explorer " and edit a system file to fix it. I can't remember off the top of my head which file and where but that issue was discussed in the liquid 3.0 thread, maybe 3.1, not too sure now.
Signature.
I found the reason apps are saying "not compatible" with your device. Apparently my google profile has my phone and two other randomly named devices on it... Anyone know how to get rid of the useless ones? I cannot for the life of me find where to delete these device profiles...

I haven't been able to delete them, but you can hide them from device lists in the Market and they won't give you that problem
on the webpage, click on the settings wheel in the top left corner --> my market account --> settings tab, click edit on any devices you don't use --> hidden in menus (under visibility), and make sure you hit update
I'm trying that, but this is absolutely ridiculous. There are three devices listed, and when I click to hide two of then, only one is hidden and the other two show, no matter what....
Turns out that this is a known issue to google, they're working on a fix. Hopefully soon, and hopefully the cause (and fix) behind all this.

In the tablet settings enable something like "force hardware acceleration." I think it is in the developer section. If you can't find it, I can look at it latter and give a better explanation. That should speed up the scrolling.

Try a service like Entropay. Create a credit card with a US address and use it for Netflix.
they want scan of my ID, passport and driving licence got email immediately after registering there.
ive ran out of ideas, guess i will give up on it but thanks for help

edit: IT WORKS ) ive registered with my real slovakian address and credit card, they asked me to send them ids, so i did. After about an hour my virtual card was OK. And it was accepted by netflix without problem... what an awesome stuff youve got there in US im impressed. (btw hulu doesnt work)
thanks for highjacking my thread....guess i'll never get my netflix working...woe is me
If you are rooted and own titanium backup you could try freezing the app and installing the one from the market which should install as a data app instead of a system app.
Have you tried clearing the data/cache in the app setting by going settings>apps and scrolling to netfix? I can't recall the exact location since I am at work.
Does it give the same status even if you don't have any updates installed?
ive tried many netflix apps, but this one works for sure. try it, maybe it will work for you too. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20911810/Netflix_1.6.0.apk
When i try to install the above apk, i get an error message that says an existing app with a conflicting signature exists...which makes sense asi am unable to uninstall the original netflix. Seriously im having a hard time believing im the only one experiencing ts problem?
OP are you rooted? Uninstall the netflix update, then try deleting the Netflix.apk from /system/app with root explorer, reboot, reinstall netflix from the market.
have you done a factory data reset since you upgraded to ICS? I had a lot of quirky bugs right after I upgraded but thy all disappeared with a wipe. Asus really should have included that as part of the upgrade.
anyways, google can backup your apps if you let it, so all you have to do is re-define your settings. I was done and ready to go within an hour of my wipe.
hopefully you dont have to do that but that will probly fix it. good luck!
Agree, a factory reset can fix all kinds of software issues and with Google App Backup it is easier than ever to recover.
