Default [Q] Apps in Market missing?

Hi people,

I can't find some apps in Market.

Such as Traffic Rush and others.

I am in Hong Kong (non-paid country) but I do have a vodafone UK sim card.

so is this normal?

thanks!

It's because of Wildfires 320x240 (qVGA) Resolution.
You can try to download your Application manually (Traffic+Rush_1.3.apk i guess?) and see if it will run.

The exact answer why we can't see all applications in the market is also already around here in the forums somewhere.

Not for all of them, Its a case of good programming.
I use Copilot btw works fine.

I try install some app copy from a G3 friend, some report error when install, some installed but button can not display normal(part / all out of edge).
most of this is games.
more than half is OK.
more over, some app have a QVGA version. like UCWEB,a web browser.

screen is the weakness, just think it may save battery, make you feels better.

Also guys,
Install Appbrain market place and Fast web install from the market.
Use it with Appbrain.com and you can install all applications on the phone(that are free on the market).

Appbrain does not fix the problem. It show all apps, but if they're not available in your standard Market app, you won't be able to download them!!!!

If have a Wildfire since last week. I bought it in France without any career and I use it with a Vodafone spain simcard.

When I was in France, with my spain career I was able to see/download almost all apps... But since I'm back to spain, a lots of apps disappeared from the market.

If you use the fast installer and install from the site it works fine for me.
I downloaded Mixzing this way.
Payed apps like I said are excluded because of Google Checkout.
