Market Issue with FREE Apps missing?

[Guest DistortedLoop]

I hope I'm not being dense, but this doesn't appear to be the usual problem where paid apps aren't there.

I don't usually read threads about Market issues, because I thought I didn't have them, but I just discovered an odd one on my SGS. It appears that many apps are missing from the market on my SGS compared to my Nexus One - this includes both paid and free apps. Some of the paid apps I have on my N1 are listed on the SGS, some aren't, some of the free apps on my N1 are there, some are not on the SGS, no matter how much I search on either the apps name or the developer name.

Both phones are logged into Google with the same username, so I would expect that they would see the same Market data. Anyone else with multiple phones seeing this kind of issue with the Market?

The only thing I can think of is that one phone is on a T-Mobile SIM, the other AT&T. Could that be the difference? I suppose the way to find that out is to swap SIMs. LOL.

Any ideas?

there are also free apps that are protected if you don't see protected apps.

when you search for Zenonia, does only the free version come up or the paid version also?

Free version only.

Okay, so this is probably the normal protected apps problem and the build number issue.

Looks like I'll hae to try the suggestions in these threads:

I was being dense - confused the definition of "protected" apps.
