Permissions don't prevent your app from being available. Required features may be inferred from permissions you request. If you don't actually require the feature, then explicitly request the feature with <uses-feature> setting the attribute android:required="false".
You can always see the features your app is requesting with "aapt dump badging <path-to-apk>". Be sure to use the most recent aapt; that is the one Market uses to analyze your app when it is uploaded.
