How does the Market get informed of a new install? How does the Market get informed of an uninstall?
Does installing an app other than via the market (on a phone that has the android market) increment the number of installs? Is it possible that the apps are being downloaded from a source other than market, installed via non-market app mechanism and hence not incrementing stats? But on download, because market is installed (and app exists in market, the market stats are being decremented? There you go, 5 questions and no answers .. shit I'm on fire today :-) William On Sep 10, 4:26 pm, "Jonas Petersson" <jonas.peters...@xms.se> wrote: > On 09/10/2010 08:10 AM, metal mikey wrote: > > > My hypothesis is that since instructions came out as to how to setup > > the emulator with Android Marketplace, spammers/weirdos have used tons > > of gmail accounts > > to download Apps then uninstall them with the intent of throwing stats > > off. > > I have not clue whether you are right about that, but one thing is for > sure: I've seen several users in that last few weeks who somehow have > managed to download the most recent version of one of my apps and > somehow installed it in a device running 1.1 (presumably a G1).
