[android-developers] Re: Problems with the Market
If your Manifest is not one with bunch of uses-featues and stuff (that could posibly be culprit of filtering), then you may just face Market bug. Happens - use to it ;( HTC Desire, connected thru WIFI in Taiwan - my app is there. The very same phone, connected thru WIFI in India - my app is NOT there. Users say on a Motorola Milestone connected thru WIFi in Brazil the app is not there. So it really is a Market bug and there's nothing I can do about it?? That's because your phone shows only comments in selected language, while developer console shows them all. 10 out of those 11 comments are in English. So another Market bug? And why did the one comment and rating ( it wasn't mine, mind you ) disappear? That's really good joke :) Hmm, so no support whatsoever? Even with such blatant bugs like those? I also publish in Nokia's Ovi and Blackberry's AppWorld, I used to complain a lot about Ovi, but now I see it's not so bad afterall. Profits are way better there, too, even though it is supposed to be a 'declining' market. best, L. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Problems with the Market
Hello Android gurus, I've got several questions/problems with the way my app is shown in the Market. Specifically: - users tell me the app ( both free and paid versions ) is unavailable in Brazil ( 'all locations' is set so the app should be available everywhere, no? ) - right now I happen to be in India and if I use the Market app in my phone, both versions are also unavailable here. However, if I use the browser and go to https://market.android.com, the app is there. - if I go to my developer account in https://market.android.com/publish , I can see that the free version has 11 comments. However, If I view the app from within the cellphone's Market App ( obviously doing it in a country where it is available, in this case Taiwan ) I can only see the first 4 comments. - the paid version fares even worse: it used to have 1 comment and one rating, those were visible for some time, but now both have disappeared! - if I view the apps from the browser ( again, thru https://market, android.com ) both of them do not have any comments whatsoever, not even the 4 comments that are visible from the Market App. What gives? This all looks like a big mess to me. Anyone could point me to any official Google support that I can ask about those issues? best, Leszek -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] figure out country in a device without SIM card
Hello Android gurus, In my game I've got a 'global leaderboard' where people submit their high scores and check how others are doing. There I display a little flag to show where a particular player is from. To figure that out, I use public String getIso() { TelephonyManager tM =((TelephonyManager) mMain.getApplicationContext().getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE)); return tM.getSimCountryIso(); } That works nicely on any phone; however, recently people started using the new fad, tablets. Those generally do not have a SIM card, so whenever such user contacts my server I can see that getSimCountryIso() must have returned NULL ( or maybe an empty string ) and I am unable to figure out the country. Any tips? L. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.
