Many Popular Apps not appearing in Android Market on my Galaxy S2

Guys please help...

I bought a Samsung Galaxy S2 from amazon UK but many of the apps are not appearing in the market, even popular ones like Skype, Whatsapp, ..., when I try to download it after scanning the bar code I get the message "Item Not Found".

FYI in the settings of the Android Market the filter for the Apps is set to "High Maturity" and I tried to change it to show "Everything" but I think it gets reset to "High Maturity" when I close the settings.

So I figured if I reset the Sales Code I could unlock everything.

However when I tried the solution (#*272*IMEI#) on my phone I cannot change the sales code option, I tried pasting the code XSG but when I click Install I get a message "Must be THREE chars."

Please help me to find a solution for this, I dont want to look for each app in softpedia or other websites so I can download popular apps.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Hi guys,

Thanks for the support.

Problem still exists. Now I'm looking for Shazam as well but nowhere to be found in the android marker.

Just FYI, my content filtering is set to "High Maturity", and when I contacted the android support team, they told me if I select "Show All Apps" it will be set to "High Maturity".

If I could only change the Sales Code Option this sh*t will all be over.

Hi Steven,

I am currently in Saudi Arabia, but I don't think that's the problem since I also have a Galaxy Tab and after I changed the Sales Code Option I can access all apps on the market on the Tab.

I also did a hard reset on the phone and started it without putting my SIM, I just used WiFi to see if that might be the problem. But still
