very good news for android users

Wow mine doesn't even need to restart. Can see paid apps now weih. But interestingly there's no Featured Apps to be seen...

yeah the Featured Apps.. maybe an update to the Market will roll out as well.

Now, it's Amazon AppStore's move.

Good news indeed. But still cant see featured apps. Anyway, it is indeed a special day today More reasons to be buy an Android

Good news to android user outside US

Bought "Hot Spring Story" to celebrate

TS might want to update the link to this:
http://www.google.com/support/androidmarke...n&answer=138294

a good news indeed

Tried to restart the fon but still the same, cant see any paid application, I juz can see Top Free and Just In

I'm using Acer Liquid Metal....with Android 2.2....

Edit: Solution found. Uninstall the update of the market, then re-open the market. Done, found the paid application!

yeah its working..

YES finally

I thought the link is different to what TS posted?

What TS posted is paid app availability (for end users)

Yours is paid app distribution (for developers)

can we use maybank atm card (with debit visa card)??

Oh ya ka? Coz I can't open the link that he posted. Then I scoured the net and found another link. lol sorry for the blunder.

But if Devs can distribute paid apps in our country, it should also mean our country's users can buy them, right?

Anyway, annoyed that the prices in Market is in USD. Buying in dollars still feels expensive.

Hi, I think it doesnt matter, unless this is updated with our country.
http://www.google.com/support/androidmarke...y?answer=150324

then our local Android Devs can Sell apps as well. at the moment, we cant.

Added on May 12, 2011, 10:19 amSorry, but I don't think it can be done with an atm card.. I may be wrong.

Anyone can confirm or say otherwise?

No worries mate

The one I bought is in Yen though. But I believe it's actually an advantage if you buy in USD (given the strong MYR now)

Hrmm found the link that shows paid apps availability, instead of the dev shenanigans:

http://www.google.com/support/androidmarke...n&answer=143779

Weirdly enough, I found that the topic number is the same as TS posted, but one hosted on market.android, and another in google.com/support/androidmarket

Anyway, my intention is to provide a working link, as me myself is looking for hard evidence for this thing as well. Sorry if I flooded the thread with unnecessary posts.

yes you may use the maybank debit card

No worries. We're all enthusiastic about Android, that's all that matters.

About f&!^ing time.

how come mine can't buy apps?? market look still d same. Already tired clear cache.

Mine can search for paid apps but can't see the "Top Paid" section, the option is not there

my market also the same...how to update?

Tested, working.

Those who still can't, can you share the details:
- Handset Model
- Software version
- Simcard / operator

And did you restart your phone?

Ok can see the Top Paid section now after cleared the data of Market.
Clearing cache alone is not enough

yup, have to clear data to see top paid...

Can't get it to work
moto atrix
2.2.2
digi

How to clear data?

Lol nvm got it working

Guys im on Motorola Xoom.
Honeycomb
Wifi.

Can buy apps ar?? thanks

Ok let's celebrate by buying at least 1 app/game each. Let Google know that this move is worthwhile

I ish happy

Anyone kind enough to provide what is needed and the steps to go through to properly set up the google account for apps purchasing? Like google checkout procedures and stuff, with regards to the malaysian users.

Hmm, you need to add a credit card to Google Checkout (using the very same GMail account you use for market access)

https://www.google.com/accounts/ServiceLogi...aten2vNf-WlLXMg

If you don't fancy doing it via PC, you should be able to do it via phone when you purchase the app

Then enjoy!

any " must have " apps?

i'm galaxy sl user.

work on my Desire. I'm seeing Top Paid, Top Free and Just In.

about time.

THANKS!!!! IT IS ALIVEEEEEEE!!!!


Now what should i buy?

Are your prices in Rm or in US$? mine seems to be in US$

mine seems to be in usd $ also :\

THe currency is sometime dependent on where the developer is located

Just in time for me to buy SwiftKey My trial expired a few days ago

hmm, initially i thought its based on telco

how much is 200yen? wanna buy spa story.

^ There's an app for that. RM7.36 says google.

I have restarted my phone, and no sign of paid app,

is this depends on telco?

Did you clear data + cache for Market app?

i just bought 2 apps, Soundhound and SystemPanel, worth the investment

Anyone can help me?? Im on motorola xoom and it says "The item you were attempting to purchase cannot be found" error. Thanks

done that, tested, and work, thanks for the info

I'm a slow poke... But SOOOO glad now..

I had same problem too...my desire s can clear cache ...but cannot clear data...anyone has any idea?

Xe currency lol.

I've done a search regarding this online, seems like a google restriction problem for the time being. There is no answer for that yet though since this problem only surface since the beginning of May.

Good to see we can start buying paid apps, which means we might be able to rent movie later too!

Got my Galaxy Tab and SGS II successfully access to paid apps but failed on the Motorola Atrix ( even after clear data, reset ) - maybe is the cooked rom affecting it ?

Hm still can't see Top Paid. I can clear cache but how to clear data on the DS? Already rebooted. I can see paid apps that HTC recommends though.

nooooooooooooooo!! *scream came from my wallet*

I'm on CM7 nightly, I can still see Paid Apps.

Nope. I'm using CM7 on my Desire Z. Only thing from a totally full fledged Market is the missing featured apps carousel and the currency appearing in USD.

Now ppl don't have excuse to pirate apps anymore. lolll

go to [Manage Applications] -> [Running] -> [Market] -> [Clear Data] / [Clear Cache] then try again

I read somewhere this gadget is selling for RM1799 with keyboard for the 16Gb model... Will be launched in another 5 days I think (Based on soyacincau source)

yeah! its work.. thanks very much..

No luck...my both desire s and xoom...can't yet...most of my concern is not the paid app...is the ability to easily update the stock gmail and map app.

Bought Game Dev Story!!!!!! edit: And Hot Springs Story!

Yea! Now I can sell my apps to the Android Market. Arrgh.. I need to hard working to finished my apps development.

1Store by Maxis still no apps for my Android phone: http://www.1store.com.my/ Who want sell your own apps? Please register here.

I've got an Al-Rajhi VISA debit card, can I used that to buy apps?

Scirwode

which one better, here or market/publish ?

At that day, they announced the 1Store to the android app development training attendees including me. But until now, I don't see any android app at 1Store. Maybe the initiative not so good or the 1Store not so popular to advertise the app.

Just stay with android market is better I think.

how come my phone can't see the paid apps ?
*using lg optimus 1 with market version 2.3.6
help me T_T

Ah i disabled fast boot to check s-off/s-on for the DS thread. Enabled it back on and then i checked the market again and Top Paid is there.

*solution found,is uninstall update for market and click it back
and is it buy the paid apps must use credit card ??
can it deduct my phone account money ??

This post has been edited by XeactorZ: May 12 2011, 06:25 PM

You can use credit or debit card... Some apps accept paypal... There is no carrier payment for Malaysia... "Yet"...

haiz,better than don't have
at least got debit card ><

Well i also been using debit card... Both PB and Maybank work well...

just bought my first ever paid app (Soccer Scores Pro - FotMob) from market.

thanks Google! Android ftw!

but before download the paid apps
need to go type setting ?
so that i can download ?
if not how i download coz i haven't type my debit card number also o.O ?

Goto http://checkout.google.com and enter your debit card information from there... After that it's simple...

Using a Motorola Xoom WiFi, I connected to my HTC Desire with hotspot on DiGi. On the Xoom, I clicked Force Stop, Clear Data on Market, rebooted, and I still get the "The item that you were attempting to purchase could not be found."

just bought pinball hd for tegra for my optimus 2x, works fine checkout with maybank2 amex, and just did my refund

of course is market la, go international, domestic sales is lousy, besides, anything with a ONE in front sux! Example: 1 Malaysia concept..

Hi Nazbook,

You can try to follow step below:
go to [Manage Applications] -> [Running] -> [Market] -> [Uninstall Updates]

Then it should work fine.

Good Luck

okay thanks for ur instruction

I thought Malaysian developers can publish free apps on the Market only, not paid apps?

Did you select Malaysia as country..?

From GSMArena

Hence the new features in the online version of the market. One of them is the revamped Top app charts section. It shows you the apps that are doing the best. They are country-specific, as well, which should make them more relevant to you. Google has also added top new free, top new paid, and top grossing lists to the Android Market home page. Google has also created an "Editor's Choice" which consists of applications chosen by the Android Market staff.

of course i did lo, i try 6 times d
