Applications missing from Android Market

---

This issue relates to my HTC Desire which an unlocked handset in the UK. It has come to my attention that certain applications do not appear to be in the Android Market that I would have expected. For example the Gameloft titles (eg Asphalt 5) do not appear.

Are these applications country restricted or perhaps do I have an issue. I read elsewhere that the issue could be related to locale or language in the settings, howeve rI have checked these are set to English.

Try using search instead of asking a question that's already been asked and answered a dozen times already.

The search on this forum is a mess. Found an answer through the google android postings.

Thanks for your "help"

Search on here works fine, and if you bother to actually read the forum rules, you'd know that you're meant to actually use it before asking the same question people have already answered dozens of times already.

Thanks FloatingFatMan, I actually got here using search and now you've been so kind to not provide a normal answer.

Ever thought that just MAYBE, some people are starting to get fed up with the same questions being asked time and time again, when the answer could be got with just a couple of seconds of bothering to look?

You could have found the answer in less time than it took you to ask the question in the first place.

This is true, however this matter could have also been settled in less than the 26 hours or 3 posts it took for you to school a noob.

Let's play nice FloatingFatMan; this is not the first thread I've read on here in that last few days where your comments are rude or unhelpful.

@npw - You'll find the answer to your question is that Google have not yet approved the Desire ROM for use with protected apps. Wait a little and the missing apps should appear in good time.

As already mentioned, please remember to Google thoroughly before you post!

Yes, thank you monkeyfishing, that was the answer I found after googling it. I searched this forum but not Google, this has always been my first stop for HTC related questions. Slight mistake on my part, but thank you for polite answer/ request to search rather than the rant of an ill tempered fat man (a floating one at that). I guess its just a waiting game for google to approve the desire for protected apps

Now if I was REALLY ill tempered, I'd take exception to that. But as I'm not, I'll just be childish, bend over, and moon you instead.
