Att sgs ii market fix - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

So i am wondering. Does changing the build.prop to another device allow us to view ALL apps on the market. Because ATT is still blocking a lot of them. Or if not how.? I know this is a fairly simple task.

Put the phone in airplane mode then turn on WiFi. Go to market and no apps will be blocked.

Can someone point out to me which apps are blocked. I feel like I'm missing out.. LOL

Is Google Talk one of the blocked apps? I mean you cannot see it in the market.

I can't see Google Talk on my marketplace, either. More disconcerting for me, though, is anyone else unable to see more than 20 or so apps when doing a search? It's like my marketplace isn't loading the next set of apps when I scroll to the bottom of a list.

Are you talking about on the Android market place? If you are, this is a known issue that they are working on...

Are you talking about the "Only first page of search results displays" issue?

My understanding is the GoogleTalk.apk was replaced by the new GoogleVoice.apk and integrated into one app.

isnt there a few apps that emulate other carriers market so you can see all the apps. like market enabler or market access

Can anyone see Madden 12 in the marketplace?

No - it is simply not available on the market an it never has been. That's why you see apps like Talk 1.3 Installer.
Note that you can see ANYTHING available on the market using market.android.com from a PC.

thanks! much appreciated.
why can't we see certain apps like this and Netflix on the app store?
If you where able to click the link, and the market displayed the application, then it means you probably overlooked it during your search. As for netflix the new update wouldn't show for me either.

By default, it will not show up because it needs fine-grained GPS.. which the Nook Color does not have.

No, you are not doing anything wrong. Google has chosen to enforce device requirements on the app, so now it won't list from the market on an unsupported device.
Accessing from the web browser, you'll see the following:
"This app is incompatible with your Bn NookColor" Note: if you renamed your device, it may not show the same device name, but it's the same result.
Same with Netflix and other apps you can't get on the device. However, if you'd downloaded the APK before this, you can still see it on your market. However, I've not received any new updates, so either no updates or it won't update if not available for the device in question.

I have G+ on both my Droid X and NC (I just made a backup of the .apk on the DX using "My Backup Pro" and moved it to the NC). I have not seen an update on my DX since 1.0.2, so I don't believe there has been an update in a couple weeks.

[Q] Is there a 'market enabler' for the new market?

Hi, so I have Market Enabler installed and for some reason it doesn't seem to work on the new market. Also, cf3d's 'open market' seem to have no effect either.
Is something broken? Anyone knows of a market enabler that works with the new market? Thank you!
We need a market enabler that works with 3.0.27
It will be made, its just a matter of time. Im very interested in this too, I had to rollback to the old market because of this.

Download the attached file.
You will find Market 2.3.6 (april 2011) and follow the instructions file.
Now I return to this version of Market which is fully compatible with Market Enabler!
Tested in a Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000.
Yes we know it works with the old market. What we need is a market enabler for the 3.0.27 version of the market.

Did the same on a Optimus 2x and it didn't work.
I had to uninstall the market update and MarketAccess works as advertised.
Cheers!
This thread should probably be in the general section rather than under SGS II.
I am also using the old market but instead of using an APK I simply uninstalled the update for market from 'manage applications' to go to the old market. Also had to uninstall the market updater system app using Titanium otherwise it updates automatically. Very irritating.
+1 for a solution for the new market since I have to do this every time I change ROMs (which is often). However, the new market is ugly as anything. The waste of screen real estate is appalling!

I can download just fine on my phone, but it's easier to get on my computer and download from there. That's what isnt working.
Your ISP is probably using a new public IP address. Thus, your computer is recognized as out of the states.
Edit: if this is the case, it will go away by itself after a few days when the servers are updated.

Isp doesnt affect Android market, as if you go to market settings you will find your phone model and mobile service provider that you are using. Android market depends on that data. I can use russian proxies to download US apps and market wont block me till I am on US mobile network.

so, your search records are 'owned' by b. gates (M$OFT) instead of the CIA (google)

funny. I was unaware of the difference.
wonder why my stick figure comics page comes up from bing sometimes?

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.

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
Sent from my LG-VM670 using xda premium
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!

Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda premium
i'm going to guess its a rouge app. some developers are putting ads into apps now. i believe its called air push that they use, and yes it can be quite intrusive. look up airpush detector in the market and see if that helps
Downloaded it still getting them
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda premium
You've downloaded an app that's causing it. Look at your running apps and that may help pinpoint what's causing it. You can try rebooting and then immediately checking what auto-starts - typically apps that display ads like that will auto-start.
You can download System Tuner free from the Market and open it up and go to Apps > Startups (at the top) and see what's being launched upon startup in there. Be safe and double check anything you disable and a backup never hurts...
It is "mp3 ringtone downloader".

You have to run AirPush Detector while the ad is open. It will let you know where it is coming from. Seems like 99% of the time, people are downloading that stupid "MP3 Music Download" (Its LOADED with fake reviews).
most people get it from some MP3 downloader app. do you have something like that?
I am getting them as well, and I don't have a MP3 music downloader on my phone. I don't want these ads, and I think it's bad that a warning is not given before we download an app that use this bloatware.
Ironically, bloat freezer causes this.

Good luck - hope this helps. That notification bar spam was maddening.
