Do you know a way to get an apk of an app if the market means the device is incompatible?
android 2.3 avds you also can't install market on to do that :/
Why isn't it possible to download the apk file?
If there is no way may someone dump the app from that one, please and attach it here?
Thanks.

it may be that this app is really incompatible with your device,
or
there are 3 things which sometimes block me from installing apps from market:
- custom screen density (I have 180 set in build.prop), setting it back to 240 helps in some cases
- new market (3.x) seems to have some different rules for establishing compatibility, I've found that going back to the old version (2.x) solves most problems (one notable example being CoolReader, which absolutely refused to install under 3.x, and went smoothly from 2.x market), there's a nice app for switching between versions - Old Market
- Settings / Language - in some rare cases setting the language to English helps, although it's probably not the case with the app you want
Theres an .apk called market fixer with that you can download all the apps again! Or at least there is for the nexus s... its probably for all devices though.
You have to be rooted and have busy box installed then you can install itvand it showes you all apps on the market again... i didnt find where i got it from but just seach the forum or the web!
THank you guys. I neither find "market fixer" nor "itvand"
I guess it's my screen resolution (its ldpi. x10 mini pro) that it won't show apps that are made for bigger screens. but I found out that many apps are just not tested against ldpi but work fine, too.
and thus i ned a way to get the apks of apps I like to test against my mimmi.
I you have further ideas or links, let me know I will do further research
Everywhere i looked they postet this as a downloadlink for the fix.apk: jrummy16.com/jrummy/testing/
But i dont see the .apk there.
What apps do you want to download? I think you should still be able to see the apps on the market even if they dont work on your device! I had the same issue and tqhe fix.apk fixed it...

Why do some apps not show up in the Android market on the Archos 101? For example, I use an app called My Backup Pro...it doesn't show up. I searched for Lookout Mobile...it doesn't show...neither does Norton Mobile Security. I searched around but didn't find an answer to this. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
caseym
not all apps will show up... from my understanding, protected apps do not appear. i myself have been looking for a few, and had to resort to side loading them.

Yeah that's what I've been doing...just wondered if there was a reason why they don't show up.
Thanks!
I had the same or similar
Hi guys,
I have the same issue this my archos 101.
I found the solution on another forum:
1- Clear the android market cache
2- Force to stop the google framework service
3- clear the cache of the google framework service
4- Reboot your tablet
This solved similar issue for me
I hope it can help you

Paid Apps Outside US?
I installed v5-final and have done the market fix several times but I only get free apps - NO paid ones. The catch is that I am located in Costa Rica - could someone comfirm that paid apps are only available in North America/Europe. If ALL (free and paid) apps are available everywhere then I have to figure out my problem, if not, I will just buy apps like crazy when I am back in the states (unless someone knows a work-around). Thanks.
I just tried the same thing and now my market app doesn't work. Any suggestions. Thanks
Just fixed it

Titanium backup in use?
i need to ask everyone with this issue, is everyone having this issue using titanium backup, and only seems to have problems after pulling from titanium's backup?
ill give my reasoning for this question...if you are having an issue, with certain apps just vanishing from the market on your phone.... even if you know its installed....
have a look at the list of questionable apps in TB, is there a yellow ball, with NO "M" overlaying it.... this may be the issue... you may have to delete all backup s for said app that DO NOT have a "M" ...wipe that apps data (in TB) and trying to restore from a backup that DOES have the "M"
please check this out, and let me know if i figured this out right... i have spent way too long pulling my hair out over this...and it seems like this was a fix for me...so far... ill edit in a few days if it all holds out
additional, if you are getting an "app incompatible" in the market... and have changed your LCD density , you will have to change it back to its default (240 for the DX) the new market seems to check for that.. and must label the device as unusable with the app, even if you KNOW its working just fine... i hope the market gets fixed to tolerate this...but im sure its part of the NEW market compatibility check
Hi Migamix,
If you have backups that don't contain a Market link, no need to delete them because they won't interfere - as long as you restore the one that has the link, of course.
When batch restoring it's a bit different, the latest backup for the chosen platform is picked, so you have to ensure that that one has a Market link.
But in any case, if you have the PRO version you can long-click and force attach it to to Market afterwards.

the force to market did not work for me, at all...many times, many tries.. some days im on a rom flashing fest...and some of those times ive done a batch restore and had only 20 apps in my market list.. its odd but it seems the only time it worked for me was after having the market attached "M" notification on all the files i wanted...i looked at this issue after letting the market auto restore post rom install, and manually pushed a few more that were causing problems...but i saw how 80% of the apps i restored (data only) refused to keep a link to the market... poked around.... uninstalled a problem app... noticed one of my older backups had an "M" while the rest didn't...so, i used that backup, and moments later that app was available in the market, and had an update... so i went and did it with a few more.... all those apps i managed to get installed in this fashion...still after 3 days, have not dropped their market links...where as...sometimes after a force market linking...would only last an hour if at all
i wanted to post this because i saw how many others were having the exact issue...i wanted to see if there is something in the way TB communicates with the data of the market ...causing market link confusion...
it seems like there needs to be a little more work with the market tools in TB....
ps, there also a setting i messed with that changed the way TB was getting market links... i think it was turning off accurate market check...
hopefully this post doesn't require too much re-reading....im a bit of a bad multitask'r sometimes
Does anyone have issues with quite a few apps on the market not available to install on i5500? Some of the apps I've tried to download from market seem like they would be available for this device, example searching for yahtzee games, about 1/3 are not able to install. I thought maybe it was a screen size issue or similar. Recently I wanted to install Auto Memory Manager and it's ghosted out in the available devices menu. I left a note on the devs blog and he stated that there is no restrictions, yet I can't install it. Is this an issue with the Market, i5500 or the devs?
yeah i have the same,
its for like the half of the apps wich i want i cant install...
thats also why i use Applanet, because than i sill can install them
Ok I downloaded that app, but I can't seem to search. Or both apps I'm looking for aren't on there.
Well the dev for AMM asked what version of android I'm running, so apparently there is some sort of restriction or he wouldn't have asked. I'm suspecting devs mark apps for US phones and the i5500 probably isn't labled as one. Any devs know how the app restrictions work?
This is due to the Galaxy 5 having a small screen resolution so only a few apps show up....for the HTC Vogue it was fixed so i guess that it can be fixed somehow....
I already posted this question on MAD Team forums but no one replied : http://www.madteam.co/forum/index.php?/topic/511-full-android-market/
Ther than that it could also be due to the region of your Market....to fix this just use Market Enabler to fake your region
Did you try "market enabler" from the market? I dont know if its the screen size but it brings more selections of apps onto my X10. Just a thought.....

I installed this app onto my friends 2.2 ROM on his galaxy 5. I believe it was also possible on 2.1. He is using a north american ROM. Try the app I posted above me and see if it works.

I tried downloading market enabler, but I get the message that it's not available for my device as well. So it appears another one of my issues is not having a carrier and using my i5500 as a pmp/pda with only wifi.
Any update on this problem?
Android Market is running a great sale (lots of popular apps for $0.10) and I can't buy almost any of them.. Specifically - Paper Camera, SketchBook, Great Little War Game, MineCraft etc.
These apps are not searchable and when I'm trying to buy from web page, I get error "Item not compatible with your device".
I live in Australia, until today was using I5500LUYJP2 firmware. Today I also tried a bunch of other firmwares for Asia, Europe, Telstra Australia, also tried "Market Enabler", but nothing helped.
So is it something wrong with my phone or just all these apps require higher screen resolution?
I say the screen size. Some may need multitouch but the main reason is because developers don't bother with our phone, because its not very new or popular.
I tried them games too, kinda bummed as its only for a while and I'm getting my x play for xmas. Ah well

Screen size, multitouch, lack of hardware resources(we have an anemic RAM), or sometimes just 'cuz they didnt test it with our phones yet. Most apps not available on the market still so work with our phones, just download the .apk files (search for them on google), push them to your SD card, and select them from your file manager. (you need to enable "Unknown Sources" in Setting->Applications). Even though this may work for most apps, some are still not compatible, so even the apk files wont work either.
After moving to 351 update (15609)
my apps were washed away. (thats ok, as I had too many apps installed anyway!)
Now, I have apks of all the softwares I had before, and which were useful.
Some are paid ones, of which I do not have the installer apks
For the free apps, which I installed without logging on to market, I am not able to see any update menu!
and they are not showing up in My apps (part in market) either.
-the "market" app has changed too (from what it was before.)
Help please.
Thanks,
Sony.
Another issue!
I see some notifications stick around a lot longer! (irritating!)
"Battery full Please remove charger" stays on for like 15 seconds.
Bluetooth voice dialing works well,
Wifi works with much better success rate of connecting!
MODs: Please rename thread as "Problems with 351 (15609)" or something similar.

Note: I have already tried the Clear Cache solution.

Damn: I tried to "Uninstall Updates for Market" in applications menu.
and now, the Market looks primitive!
whats wrong here!?
By uninstalling the market updates you went back to the oldest version of the market.
I can't help you with the apps, but it sounds as if you might need to flash your phone again.
Now new thing!
Today the phone got stuck at the lock screen (long time!)
then I restarted it through Power button long press.
Then the Dell logo kept coming again and again.. and it didnt boot~!
So, I removed the battery cover, and rebooted. then it was fine! (yikes)
I am on stock, no roots, no nothing yet!
Even the default update can cause problems?(Oh, I had not rebooted the phone since 2 days.. but I have gone longer before.. without the phone getting any slower!)
One thing is definitely mentionable though,
The battery life has been exceptional!!
Full charge in the morning (6 am - unplugged)
And, decent browsing (FB + gmail) + 40-50 mins of calls + games for 30-40 mins
and by 7 pm I still have 68% battery
That has been the case for past two days (since I upgraded 318 to 351)
@Strephon Alkhalikoi
you suggest, I flash the phone again?
hmm. Ok, will try that if nothing else works.
Any other suggestions on the table?
One more thing
I had used the Dell Backup and Restore > and used system settings restore too (in the options)
Just thought of putting it, as thats the only thing thats between the flash and the current problem. << (any relation?)
Help appreciated!
Sony
Re-flashed!
WEll,
i am officially going nuts!
I flashed the 351 update again.
everything nice and sweet..
But, hey!
Market is still behaving crazy!!
and App brain or anythin is also unable to do any good!
Guys! Please help!!
The Market is not showing apps, which I install off my SD card apks!!
whats wrong!?
Bonkers,
Sony
Anybody, yet?
Hey guys,
anybody ever faced such a problem?
Anybody know any solution ( that I havent mentioned in above posts? ).
Highly appreciate the help!
Sony.
When you install apks, they won't show in the market. You'll need to use an illegitimate market to show all installed apks (search google).

I did search google extensively!
My method of installing has a name: sideloading, (right?)
and, I see, that it 'does' show in the market for other guys!
and, Google search shows this as a sync-market issue!
people have some work arounds and all, but none is sure shot way of doing that.
I am looking for a solution.
Thanks,
Sony.
Are your free apps not showing up as installed either...
If you are using pirated apps they normally won't show up as installed, much less allow you to update without paying for them through the market.
Any free apps you use, you shouldn't install them from the sd card, rather install them directly from the market....

none of the apps are showing up (free + paid)
No pirated ones. Paid ones (only 2 of them, but, even those arent showing up!!)
About installing free apps from market-
well, that is one solution. but,
my question is exactly the corollary of that!
Why are sideloaded apps not showing up, when they did just finely show up, when I was on 318 !!?
What happens when you guys 'sideload' any app?
Let me know.
Thanks!
Sony.
P.S. People are discussing it on market.google.com/discussions as a 'market-sync' issue! as stated in prev post of mine.
*Sigh!*
Since google released their web-based market interface, the definitive list of apps on your phone (as shown in the market app) comes from the list on the website, which is the list of apps that were downloaded and installed through the market.
If you sideload something, it doesn't appear on this list.
In the past, pre- the web interface to the market, the definitive list was generated by the market app by scanning your phone. Not any more.
The only way now to get the apps to appear in the market app as installed is to install them through the market app (or market website).
Best workaround I know of is to use appbrain's app market. The app in that still scans your phone for the list, and can check for updates, and then uses the standard market to install the updates, so from then on the app is listed in the standard market.
So, basically, to get the apps listed in your standard market app's list, don't sideload.
Now, I just learned of a market backup program that you could have used beforehand, but that doesn't help much now :s.

Is there a way for market on our mini's to show apps with bigger resolution? For 2.1 there used to be patched market version which i used and thanks to that i installed Worms which worked perfectly. But now after installing CM7 even when i have them paid i cant see them.
Or some bypass for downloading even incompatible apps from web version of market?
Raise this question again when it's not have been answered.
I think I have about the same problem, when I can't download certain apps from Market and I think it is because of the screen size.
I run MiniCM7 Pro v16 which is Android version 2.3.6, but cant download some lower Android version apps. For example can't I download the apps Philips myRemote, Samsung Remote & Minecraft Pocket edition.
I've cleaned all Market cache & data as well as checked the Market filters.
Can anyone else with a SE X10 Mini Pro with cutom rom download these apps?

Cannot download them but they are on the web market saying that u20i is incompatible. If you know they can work on our devices then your best bet is to download warez versions of them, cant post them here tho due to rules.

It's rare that happens, I do not let me install any of the app.
In short, things cooking!
Well i recently received my invitation to Google music, currently uploading my ja-massive(yes that's a word) collection to Google Music so that itself is going to take forever.
However my x10 Mini Pro can't install the app from the market (it just doesn't show) although I know I can just download and install the apk , it's not the only app I'm looking for which won't show on x10 MP market place, I am currently using GingerDX v007 ROM , upgraded from Slade's CM6 v5.0 ROM , now on that ROM I had my market app unlocked, I could install apps whether they FC'ed on device constantly or not including Google music, YouTube remote and many others. Only problem is i forgot how the hell I done it can anyone help? I remember getting it from somewhere and I'm pretty sure it wasn't one of those market switchers (switch it to American market place) because I attempted that and it still didn't show the Google music app. i think it's something i add to the build.prop but I'm probably wrong! help someone thanks in advance!
I'd rather have the official app downloaded off of the store for future updates rather than reinstalling apk's all the time.
Come on please help
Tried Market enabler?
send from my X10miniPro
well link to it doesn't work and i live in UK so i can access paid apps, i have tried that other app where you access markets from different countries that's no good to me though.
seems, that Google-Music doesn't install on qvga-Devices (but works on mini pro). Anyone can fake the resolution of our x10 minipro for the market?
hello live in GR and i have many ''hiden apps'' on the market so if you remember how you did that please tell us here cause market enabler or market unlocker didn't work...
Hey I have a question..maybe it's stubid but...is there any way to ''fake'' the market and make it think that it is(x10 mp) another device so we can see all the apps and isntall them even they fc??
search for the apk on other sites and install maybe?
