[android-developers] More Market questions

Sorry for this...more Market questions.

1) Is the download count that users see in the Market app based
on total installs, or active installs?

2) If it's based on active installs, and given that active
install counts are still broken (showed zero for a while when
I had confirmed that at least one user has definitely not
uninstalled), how does anyone maintain a consistent number?
Or do they? Statistics on active installs also show no
installs from India, which means it's missed at least one....
(Yes, I've already been told that the statistics are basically
useless...still curious how all of this is SUPPOSED to work.)
:-)

3) Here's a big one: in individual categories/subcategories (in
my case, Apps/Photography), how many installs (or would that
be active installs) does an app need to survive?

4) Same question, except regarding the number of ratings/comments,
not installs.

5) If there is such a number, and an app falls below it, is there
a way to revive it, re-publish it in the Market, etc.? Or is
it just dead?

6) Am I correct in my assessment that most users only leave
comments when they're either very satisfied or very
disssatisfied? (i.e., far fewer comments from users who fit
between those two)

7) And finally, is there a way to view what the user sees on
their device in the Market for my app via a web page? Or do
I only have the developer's console?

Thanks,,
