    Default android market missing apps


    Ok well sorry if this has been posted before, but its really annoying me

    Well here's the story, I bought the g1 when it first came out, used it for a few months, and then went back to my sidekick. However, as of yesterday, I changed back to a g1 plan and am back on the g1. But one of the first things I noticed is that the android market doesn't have all the apps in it that it should, including some of the apps that I had the first time I used the g1, such as meebo.

    Now, I haven't gotten the cupcake update yet, since I jusr went back to the g1 yesterday, so could that be a reason why all the apps aren't there? I heard that no paid apps will show up (which they don't) unless you have cupcake, but even some free apps are missing, so idk if that's the problem

    Can someone please help me?

    On a side note, any idea when I'll be getting cupcake?

    welcome to AC.

    some apps have been removed by their developers, for various reasons. the market also filters based on what android version you're running. a lot of apps are 1.5 (cupcake) specific now. 1.5 is rolling out randomly. you should get it soon.

    ...and just to clarify, paid apps don't show unless you have RC33, not cupcake.

    The Lord is my strength and my redeemer...

    ...and just to clarify this, as it makes very little sense to me, you will get paid apps showing up if you have version 1.5 firmware (i.e. cupcake), or 1.1.

    Using the release candidate (RC) to identify versions is a bit risky, as it varies from country to country. RC33 in the US is functionally identical to RC9 in the UK, for example.

    Applications can be filtered to specific versions of the firmware. So developers have probably just made their apps into Cupcake only versions, and you won't see them until you get the update.
