[Q] Market->MyApps Empty After Froyo Upgrade - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just updated to the official Froyo. When I run the Market and select "My Apps" it says "No downloads from Android Market".
The Apps themselves are still on the phone and available from the Applications screens. They just don't show in the Market "My Apps" screen. If I search for them in the Market I do get a screen that shows that the one I searched for is installed.
As it happens all my Apps are free ones. Is there a way for me to get them back in the "My Apps" screen. Without it, how will I do updates (I do manual updates)?

settings applications all then find market then click force close, then clear data/cache what ever there is.

That got it, but for some reason it took 2 times.
Thanks!

Mine were all there. Free and paid...

thats cool, but to almost ALL people, when they flash another rom without the odin, this issue is there, the market cant find all your apps because most people use titanium backup to restore their apps.

This will work if the market link itself is in some kind of working order. If you've wiped everything, TB Pro needs the market link to allow you to have the pro feature of market doctor. My market currently looks like beta testing grounds before it was launched with all kinds of weird stuff and no ability to search for anything.
I've factory reset it, flashed back to odin twice with 2.1 and 2.2. Wiped the data and closed just about every running process/app, cleared the caches, reinstalled a new rom which required some "manual labor" of taking some apps from a rom build and putting them on my phone (rom manager/TB), rooted, not rooted it makes no difference, and finally used Root Explorer to push a different market app on to my phone which gives me the same result. After all that, I still can't pass go and do not get my $200. Looks like it's time for more drastic measures... MOM!!

Worked like a charm. Thanks.

Market fix for metamorph users.

I recently tried out the evo notification bar morph but decided to just go back to the stock notification bar afterwords using the stock morph. After a few hours my market would FC anytime I would try to update or install apps from it. I tried restoring the market from Titanium and I tried to fix permissions using the rom manager (I stupidly forgot to nandroid. I know lesson learned.) but that didn't work. Then I remembered something from my G1 days and a problem with metamorph not working with a market update. So I uninstalled the market update and it started working again.
To do that just
Settings > Applications > Manage Applications. Hit Menu > Filters > All. Then scroll down to Market. NOT THE MARKET UPDATER. Then just hit uninstall updates it'll give you a message. Just hit OK and then there you go. The market should work.
Hopefully this can help anybody that runs into this problem.
Also sorry if I posted this in the wrong section. It happened to my while using metamorh so I figured I should post it here for anybody else that runs into the problem while using metamorph.
Feel free to move or delete if its in the wrong section.

[Q] What happened to the Nytimes app?

After updating to JI6, I'm unable to download and install, sometimes even to find on the market, the Nytimes app.
Perhaps it's connected to my flashing the upgrade via Odin after my OTA attempt failed and I lost all my prior apps and data.
In all events, is there anything I can do to get it back?
Since I rooted my Droid Eris and installed a Froyo rom, I have been unable to find it on the market as well.
I found an older version of it and installed it, but it crashes every time I open it.
I wonder if the app doesn't work on froyo and that's why it's not on the market.
It was on the market as of last week, before I rooted the app and installed Froyo.
I hope someone else can find more information about this.

I have it on my phone running 2.2 - version 1.6.8
I have it too
On froyo 2.2
I've checked the market again (searching for nytimes) and it did not appear. I've installed a few other apps from the market with no problems.
I read that at least one other person was having problems searching for specific apps (although not the nytimes) in the market using the same rom that I'm using, Tazzfroyo I'm guessing that might be the problem for myself, and the same type of problem could be it for the OP as well.
I'll keep you updated.

a ROM does not effect how the market behaves. Google does.
You might be living in another place where the NYTimes app is not being released, for country reasons.
There are apps that others cant see but you can.
There's a app that lets you see all forgot name though

Thank you for your suggestions and help.
After clearing the market cache and rebooting; and then installing appbrain [although it did appear in appbrain], The NYTIMES still did not appear in the market.
I then ran the Eris Market Fix (the newest version, v1.7) rebooted - which fixed my problem ! nytimes app finally appeared in the market. =)
I'm in the US so I don't know why the app wouldn't appear in my market before running the market fix...

Market Problem

After rooting I did the Market Fix and installed the Market.
Later It started to work but whenever I try to download a free application it is stuck on Starting download....
I thought at first oh okay...
I waited 5 minutes it was still stuck like that and I tried being close to my wireless router...
Nothing helped and I restarted the phone...
So just asking how am I supposed to download applications now from the Market after I rooted?
I also did fake my provider and thought that would work?
PLEASE HELP I AM DESPERATE!

Hi, I'm having a similar problem here. My Market is apparently working correctly, I can search and download apps. But I've been having some problems with some apps that can't find on the Market although being available.
I did the MarketFix when I rooted and updated my phone to RB2BA026. An example of an app that can't find on Market: Multitasking Lite.
BTW, when you say "Market->Uninstall updates", are you talking about removing "Market Updater", because I can't find anything about uninstalling updates of the Market app.

When it stopped listing certain apps I went in to the 'market' app info and clicked 'clear cache'.
When it stopped working altogether (a few weeks later after the silent market update) I went in to the 'market' app info and clicked on the 'Uninstall updates'. The market updated itself 3 days later without any issues.
To cover all approches I'd suggest clearing the cache and then the updates. Then turn off the phone and do a battery pull. I hope this helps.
There's no "Uninstall updates", so I've tried first removing "Market Updater" but nothing happened. So then I tried removing "Market" to install again from a backup I supposedly have done before, but for my surprise Titanium Backup wont restore the Market app backup.
Now I'm with no Market app at all! So I need it from someone, please PM it.

The fix mentioned here only works as long as the Market doesn't automatically redownload itself, at which point I have to uninstall it again. That's fine most of the time, but what do you do when it automatically updates the market as soon as you uninstall the update?
I have purchased apps that no longer recognize that I bought them because of this market update that keeps going on without my permission. Is there some way to stop or block the update until this gets fixed? I'm getting very tired of being called a pirate by several apps I legitimately bought.

[Q] 'Disconnecting' apps from Android Market - Market Link?

Hey guys,
Forgive me if this question has been covered, I did plenty of searching without finding what I was after.
I have an app that was installed via Android Market. And so, the Android Market knows when new versions are out and notifies me of an update. Titanium Backup calls this the 'Market Link', not sure what else it could be called.
My question is, how would I go about 'disconnecting' the app from the Market? Deleting the market link as if it were side-loaded?
Yes, I know this means no more updates for the app etc. Which is actually what I'm after.
For reference, I'm using a SGS - DocRom V9.6 with Speedmod Kernel k13a
Thanks.
Hey Guys,
So no body knows how to delete the link between app and Android Market so that the Market no longer knows it's installed?
Or am I best copying the app somehow, uninstalling it and then side-loading it?
Thanks.
Using Titanium Backup (Pro) long click/press on the app you want to 'disconnect' from the market.
Then select Detach from Market
I added (Pro) because I'm not sure if it works on the standard version or not..which I'd highly recommend getting the pro version if you don't already have it.
Awesome thanks for the tip, I didin't know there was an extended menu if I long-pressed an app in Ti Backup.
Though once I long-press, 'Disconnect' is greyed out. And in fact, all my apps have this greyed out (And I do have pro), yet they all show in Android Market?
'Force Attach to Market' doesn't seem to do anything either.
Weird, I'm able to Detach the market link of both /data and /system apps - some of which I do and do not have backups of.
I'm not sure if this will really do anything, but you can always try using the "market doctor" to find missing market links, then see if you're able to remove the link that it finds. But to be honest, I'm not really sure that will do the trick nor do I have any clue why that option isn't available to you
Only other thing I can think of is to clear the market's cache/data:
Menu > Settings > Applications > Manage applications > All > Market
click force stop then clear data & clear cache
If they're both blanked out, just use TiBackup to wipe the market data.
After all that, see if you're able to Detach the Market Links
Hope this works

Thanks for the help.
Looks like clearing the data from the Market app (as you described) has allowed me to detach my apps from the Market through Ti Backup now.
That's not how I managed to do it though. I did it a far more complicated way!
I made sure I had a backup of the app, then uninstalled it.
I then browsed to the Titanium Backup backup folder on the internal SD card, and found the *.properties file of the app in question.
Long press on it and opened it in Text Editor.
I then deleted out every line that started with 'market.'
I then saved it, and Ti Backup automatically creates a backup of the original file.
Then I restored the app.
But to get this process to work, I also had to clear the Market app data (as per your tip).
Did I mention complicated!

Not sure I'll get a reply on an over a year old thread but worth a try. I tried this method but didn't work for me. When restoring the app did you restore data also? Thanks.
I'm still here! :laugh:
The app I was trying to disconnect from the market I don't think had any real data to restore, so I don't think I was restoring data as well, no.
I'd say both the Market (now Play Store) and Ti Backup have changed a fair bit since this post. Ti Backup does have the ability to detach apps from the Play Store, if you find it in the app list and long press it will show the option. Some apps I think won't detach, and it could be because they're linked to your google/gmail account (for certain permissions or whatever). If they remain linked to that account, then I guess the Play Store still thinks it's installed on the phone (because it is).
Sorry I couldn't be of any more help!

Thanks for the reply. The app I wanted to break from the market is Business Calendar Pro that I bought a while back. The new updates don't work with the ROM on my phone so I wanted to stop the updates. I have MyBackup Pro and it has an option to break the market link but doesn't work. I haven't bought Ti Backup but use the free version. I don't want to buy it just to find that it won't work. I don't think Biz Cal uses google data but it does us the built in calendar's data so that might be why I can't break the link. Oh well. I'll keep trying different options. Thanks again.
Hi, not sure if this will do the trick but you could try extracting the APK for the app (not sure if TiB can do it or this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.extract.apk) And then uninstall the market version and side-load the extracted version. I have a feeling it may not work as sometimes when I've side-loaded beta versions the released version has shown up in the Play Store as installed. When I try and uninstall it from there, the Play app tells me the app wasn't installed from Play and gets me to confirm uninstall.
I guess that's the long way of saying that the Play Store app must be using some mechanism to detect apps installed on the phone, even if not from the store.
Thanks again but the market seems to keep the data linked somehow. I'll keep trying different scenarios I guess...
did you find any method that work?
Honestly I haven't had time to mess around with it this weekend, but I'll keep up on the research and post here if I find something out. Thanks
Titanium Backup is not working for sure, at least for now, maibe they'll fix this sometimes!

Yea. I figured that. Glad I didn't buy either to try them. thanks. It sucks but will have to deal with for now I guess.
found a fix
Hey. So I was looking around some more and found an app called "market fixer" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kstudio.marketfixer&hl=en
It seems to scan apps that aren't linked to the market. The other thing it does, if you "scan all links", is give you all your market links which you can then select and "delete market link"
I check and it works. Also some reported it stops working on reboot,but mine worked fine. The app does warn that it will need to be reapplied if market data is cleared. Just wanted to update you and hopefully help anyone else with these troubles
Hi. I just gave this ago and worked very well. Thanks for finding that out and sharing.

Glad it works for you too. Take care.
easiest way is to just run batch mode in titanium there is an option yo detach user and system apps from market
edit: i use pro version btw and works for me jus fine
update
update on market fixer. I guess if you clean google play cache it relinks also. easy enough for me to use market fixer before I "update all" though so no prob for me.

[Q] Applications and games owned by this account will appear here

What is this error and how do I fix it?
Logging into my freshly hard-reset device via Market I get a white box that states:
"Applications and games owned by this account will appear here"
I THOUGHT I solved it myself by following my own advice:
Clear data and cache.
Didn't work the first time and it seems to be randomly recurring,.... and now it's always happening, which leads me to believe it is a GOOGLE issue.
Just in case anyone else has this issue.
Anyone have any ideas?
I restored from a previously functional backup and still no dice.
It's happening to me, also. Calk's 2.0 on a Sprint S2 E4GT.
Cleared Market cache and data, no dice. Tried switching Market back-and-forth to another Google account, no dice.
Happily, I can still get updates via AppBrain.
I have a theory that it was due to something that I extracted from my CWM backup via Titanium Backup.
Did you by any chance do something similar?
I don't think my theory is in any way accurate. Something seems to be going on with the Google server end. I wish they'd fix it.
find a solution (maybe someone find one BETTER)
i have tried anything to solve this problem but no dice. now i have installed KL1 (wipe version ) and the market works perfectly
i also have heard about many problem with market on KK5..
Interestingly enough, My Apps worked correctly ... once ... after I flashed Calk's 2.0.1a over 2.0.
Still using AppBrain to sync updates.
On evo3d, this seems to be a widespread problem across many phones even on stock software. I've been experiencing for a couple months now. Do you have any sideloaded apps, bootleg or amazon or mikandi? My theory is that the 3rd party apps are interfering with the market. I have amazon apps that show in google market as purchased. I uninstalled everything and reloaded with my titanium backup, marked as sideloaded, worked for about a week then the market started reassoiciating itself with my 3rd party apps and broke again. appbrain doesnt pick up all updates either, I've been waiting for about a week for it to pick up the beautiful widgets update and hasnt so far. this sucks.
try this solution. download and install appbrain. sync your google account with appbrain and then click "sync" on apprain. when sync is finished, open market and now it works . please check this

no no no this damn problem is back. I think it was a problem kk5. I have check rom revo v4

uninstall blackmart alpha. go to manage application, market>force stop it>clear cache>clear data
go to market accept user agreement
now it will work. please tell me
I have same problem before restore my apps with titanium on XWKK5; so, I think it was an error for use market doctor with system apps, then I clear all market links with Titanium and works, market came back lo list my apps but before install some apps I have the problem again and delete market link doesn't work; when I restore XWKK2 nandroid, market works fine and I never install balckmarket or similars, I've wrote to google support but only says clar cache and data from market, but doesn't work and never responding me ...
PD: Sorry for my english, I'm from latinoamerica
This is definitely a problem which surfaces with KK5.
Upon upgrade to KL1, the problem vanishes. Flashing back to KK5, even factory reset, brings it back.
I've seen my stuff in My Apps just once in several weeks...immediately after flashing Caulk's 2.5 full. Worked correctly once, then everything dissapeared again.

Same here. Flashed Calk's 2.5 full, market worked fine first time I selected "My Apps". Second time I tried, I would get one of the following:
- "Apps and games owned by this account will appear here."
- "Applications and games owned by this account will appear here."
I'm attaching a screenshot. (BTW, tried reflashing the ROM, did not solve the problem.)
EDIT: Posted the issue in the ET4G Q&A section as well
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20504910
I've been running KK2 (Australian) version for around a week and all has been well until today when I've got the same error message.

Haven't done anything today to cause it...come on Google, sort it out

I have figured out how to fix this with titanium backup. Basically, you use the remove all market links option then attach each app back with titanium one by one. Pay attention to what apps you add back, excluding any from Amazon app store. Reboot and wait. After about a half a day things will be back to normal

I think it's only available to pro versions. It's actually labeled "Destroy all Market links" in the "market tools" menu item.
