[Q] Facebook not showing in Android Market - Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there
I'm having some issues with the Facebook app.
The other day my friend told me there was an update, so I went to try and get it. The update didn't show up for me.
Today I switched ROM and tried to download the Facebook app and I can't even find it.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Would anyone be able to post an APK of the latest update on here?
Thanks
Snaily

Ok, now I can't see Google Maps or Opera Mini.
These are my commonly used apps. Maybe Google think I download too much of the same app?

U could try market enabler from the market n see if it helps

Thanks for the reply. But it didn't fix it.
I think I might take it to a T-Mobile store and see what they say...

try using the pc web version of the android market.

If u use a rom with custom lcd density (140), you have to change it to install facebook

[Q] What happened to the Nytimes app?

After updating to JI6, I'm unable to download and install, sometimes even to find on the market, the Nytimes app.
Perhaps it's connected to my flashing the upgrade via Odin after my OTA attempt failed and I lost all my prior apps and data.
In all events, is there anything I can do to get it back?
Since I rooted my Droid Eris and installed a Froyo rom, I have been unable to find it on the market as well.
I found an older version of it and installed it, but it crashes every time I open it.
I wonder if the app doesn't work on froyo and that's why it's not on the market.
It was on the market as of last week, before I rooted the app and installed Froyo.
I hope someone else can find more information about this.

I have it on my phone running 2.2 - version 1.6.8
I have it too
On froyo 2.2
I've checked the market again (searching for nytimes) and it did not appear. I've installed a few other apps from the market with no problems.
I read that at least one other person was having problems searching for specific apps (although not the nytimes) in the market using the same rom that I'm using, Tazzfroyo I'm guessing that might be the problem for myself, and the same type of problem could be it for the OP as well.
I'll keep you updated.

a ROM does not effect how the market behaves. Google does.
You might be living in another place where the NYTimes app is not being released, for country reasons.
There are apps that others cant see but you can.
There's a app that lets you see all forgot name though

Try this as well as dl appbrain. Some rare occasions I cannot find an app so I browse though appbrain and it links me to the market download. I actually had to dl it with the xda tapatalk app and the sirius app.

Thank you for your suggestions and help.
After clearing the market cache and rebooting; and then installing appbrain [although it did appear in appbrain], The NYTIMES still did not appear in the market.
I then ran the Eris Market Fix (the newest version, v1.7) rebooted - which fixed my problem ! nytimes app finally appeared in the market. =)
I'm in the US so I don't know why the app wouldn't appear in my market before running the market fix...

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

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

Download market enabler, because might not show depending on what service provider you have. Use market enabler to make market believe your phone has T-Mobile or any other american provider.
I am on tmobile from USA. so I don't know why I can't see
skyfire, words free, camera 360.
I just d/led the app and tried ATT USA, still doesn't work.
You could perhaps try downloading and installing the latest version of the Market that was released today (3.1.3)
I got it from here:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/08/23/download-android-market-3-1-3-adds-1-for-apps-and-games-pin-number-for-purchases-and-more/
Do i need 3g/4g for the new market to work? when im on 2g connection it won't connect at all. it only works on wifi.
The new market still can't find skyfire or camera360.

I just tested my market and though that it wasn't working with 2g, but eventually it did, just painfully slowly and after one connection time-out!
I guess you probably have already tried deleting market data?
Settings > Applications > Manage Apllications > Market > Clear Data
yes i cleared data.
can you see skyfire or camera360 when u search it?
Ah....I see the problem now, both Skyfire and Camera 360 have become incompatible with the Mini Pro. If you check on the web version of the market, both are listed as not compatible with u20i hence why they don't show up
I think with Camera 360 that there was an update where buttons overlapped on screen and so the dev must have stopped the app being listed for devices with our screen size. I've checked and the last version of Camera360 that was compatible with the Mini Pro was v2.2.0 (perhaps search the internet to see whether you can find an .apk of that version - you can easily but most results will be for the full version and therefore warez)
argh so lame... Thanks
Personally I like apps reaching their 'final' state for my device ;-)
Updates break as meany things as they fix whenever a developer tries to support the latest devices.

[Q] Google thinks I bought an app when I didn't, won't let me buy it

tl;dr I installed an apk that you normally have to buy (with the developers permission), and now I want to buy the app, but the market says I purchased it and gives me an error when I try.
Detailed version:
So I was chosen to beta test the boot manager application by the developers. They sent me a download link to an apk that I installed on my phone (nexus one).
The developers stopped updating the app through the link they gave me, and they only update the market apk now. I felt that I should purchase the app, to support the developers and gain the new features. I tried to purchase the app, but in the market it already says "purchased" instead of "buy". When I try to buy it, it gives me an error.
I have since uninstalled the app completely, and still no luck.
I cleared the market cache and data, and even tried using the browser market to install it remotely. It even says purchased on the web.
It's possible titanium backup attached the app to the market through market doctor, but even after i uninstalled it it still had this issue.
I'm not sure if it matters, but the app checks with the market to see what your registered email is, and then checks the developers server to see if that email is licensed before using the app. Since I didn't buy it from the market, they just added my email to the list.
What can I do about this?
Re-install the apk file they gave you, then uninstall it through the market.
Just tried that, after it was uninstalled everything appeared the same, and gave me the same errors.
I just got off the phone with a "market specialist." She said that I tried to purchase the app, but something went wrong and "the phone doesn't know where to get the app from." She handed the issue over to a more specialized department who will try and fix the problem and either get back to me for more information, or fix the problem within 24 hours. I was extremely impressed with how they handled the issue.
To anyone having this problem in the future, go to this page, scroll down, and fill out your info under "talk to a specialist" and let them know what your problem is. They did ask if I was using a custom ROM (which I am) and they said that custom ROM's can sometimes interfere with the market, but I highly doubt this is the case.
And an email they sent me:
Hi Josh,
Thank you for contacting Google. It was a pleasure getting to speak with
you today. As promised, I've forwarded your case to a specialist to begin
working to resolve your issue as soon as possible.
In the meantime, if you come across any other information that you would
like to pass along, please feel free to reply to this email. Your
responses will automatically go to the specialist working on your case.
Thanks again for your patience and understanding. Have a great day.

You could try detaching it from the market using Titanium Backup.
was this ever resolved?
I too have this problem, but I have apps that I purchased, or got free from Amazon.com's App Store, and now that google has this massive .10ยข sale of over 10k (supposedly?) apps I want to rebuy the same apps from google (who updates much faster than Amazon).
I'm going to try to detach, hopefully it works.
If not hopefully we can figure this out as I'm sure this is an issue that afflicts many of you too.
just a follow up, and no the issue is still persistent for me as well
Android Market Support said:
Just to let you know- the issue appears to be isolated to users with
rooted
devices. A few users saw the issue clear up after resetting their devices
to factory settings. In some cases, this required manufacturer support
because a regular reset did not completely restore the device.
However, we're investigating solutions that will not require a reset. In
the meantime, let me know if you have any questions or if your situation
changes.
Best,

I have the same problem with an app I purchased from Amazon App Store but want to repurchase from Google Market.
I tried detaching it from the market using Titanium Backup but that did not help.
Anyone have a solution?

I tried the instructions at this thread, but they did not work.
Try purchasing it from the web market.

Or one sure way that worked for me is to downgrade the market app to v2, even if the app says purchased, it still gave me the checkout page.

See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19085789&postcount=14.
Still not finding a solution I simply logged into another Gmail account I own, and purchased it from there.
Now when there's an update to one of the secondary accounts apps I get a download refused message until I switch accounts.
It's not too much of a hassle, but it's not convenient either. :/

[Q] google play.."device not compatible"

, i have a vibrant using ICS euphoria , kernel 3.1.10-kiss-v8
having many problems with google play and updating or downloading new apps. for example..
dolphin browser beta . searching this on google play and it will say "device not compatible" ,so i have to dl the apk. now i have dolphin and it works but will not update as on my phone it does not list dolphin browser in the list of apps in google play. but when i check on my computer online at google play it says i have dolphin browser.
this happens with other apps. how do i fix this and why is my phone not working with google play the way it should?
thanks
I had a similar problem with my phone. I changed the dpi to 240 and voila. Try it may be it can work out.

Try try to use capital letters.
One problem with PlayStore is if the phone isn't 240dpi it might become incompatible. So you'll have to clear the PlayStore data and set it back to 240dpi.
Also developers can set their app to not be compatible with your phone. The way I get around it is to log into Play Store within a browser. When you download an app from the browser it will show you a list of all the Android devices that are associated with your gmail account, hopefully the app is compatible with one of that device. Then download it to that device, then back up that app to apk to send to your phone.
It's one of the annoying thing about Android right now.
thanks
thank you guys , that worked great and its something so simple. went to gmarket and i had so many apps to update , i had no idea
cheers
