Root-enabled G1s are still able to see copy-protected apps. I think it is just the ADP phones that the market detects, because my rooted G1 is able to see copy-protected apps, and download them. I have verified this by looking in the app-private folder on the phone and seeing that the app that

Aha, so until rooted phones can't see copy-protected apps I don't see any reasons to protect my app. If just 1 user can download and share it with the world it is meaningless to waste twice the space on the user's phone for nothing. On Wed, Apr 1, 2009 at 5:15 PM, clark clarkd...@gmail.com

I read somewhere that Google forbids the availability of paid apps to [unlocked] developer phones. It's very frustrating. Also, it seems that dev phones don't get Over The Air (OTA) updates of software. Joe On Tue, Mar 31, 2009 at 6:40 AM, Eric Schott ericwsch...@gmail.com wrote: I have a

Dev phones indeed explicitly don't get OTA updates, for several reasons: -developers are assumed to be capable of manually updating their phones. -those phones are designed to allow running custom versions of the system, and an automated update could cause some damage. -developers have

Developer phones can't see paid apps in the market.  This is because the root access available on the developer phones breaks the Market copy-protection model. The Market copy-protection model ignores that there are many consumer phones that have been rooted... Eric Schott wrote: I have

My guess would be a phased rollout based on device IDs. That way the scalability can be tested and rolled back if neccessary. Or, alternatively, they might think you're greedy having 2 G1s and so will only give you the service on 1 :) :) :). Al. Michael Martin wrote: *** Can anyone at

Have you maybe set one up with an account which is linked to a google account outside the US/UK? If not a slow rollout is probably the best reason for them not showing up. Same thing happens with iGoogle and gMail updates. On Feb 20, 3:19 pm, Michael Martin mi...@mm-agency.com wrote: *** Can
