Missing apps on android market? - Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Today I was setting my apps to auto update when two of them said "not found". They are Tapatalk and Shapewriter. Anyone else notice they are missing from market? Is it just me?
What's going on with the vanishing apps?

Wow, nobody has a moment to verify?

Verified. I just updated my girlfriend's Fascinate (a wonderful adventure within itself), but after an Odin and update I was able to verify the issue. I even tried searching for it on market.android.com and was not able to find it. She cannot find two apps (one being a horoscope app, the other being some girly app that I can't remember ). I have seen this issue before with leaked updates, but wouldn't expect it from an "official" and "signed" update - which was also leaked and has been out for two months on here lol.

In doing some additional research, I found it is blocked via Verizon. If I use Market Unblocker (in market) and fake a t mobile ID i can see both apps just fine.
WTF? Why is Verizon blocking random apps?

[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

Try this as well as dl appbrain. Some rare occasions I cannot find an app so I browse though appbrain and it links me to the market download. I actually had to dl it with the xda tapatalk app and the sirius app.

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...

Missing apps in market...

Hi everyone,
Since Saturday a happy Galaxy SII user, but coming from a LG Optimus 2x I notice something strange:
I miss some(?) apps in the market.
e.g. Flitsieflitsie, ikea, tubemate...
The LG finds them in the market and my desire found them as well.
I know there are market fixes around, but I am not rooted yet and have no plans yet to do it because of warranty reasons.
Ridiculous that certain apps are blocked.
Anyone noticing this too?
I bought it from the T-Mobile shop in the Netherlands, they did not put any branding on as far as I am aware.
Does the language choice influence anything?
Have you tried market-enabler http://code.google.com/p/market-enabler/downloads/detail?name=MarketEnabler.apk
Root needed for market enabler

Same thing here, I cannot see some apps in the market (Evernote, Slice It! etc). If I try to follow some market links from the internet, the market just says that the program is not found. Also they're not found with the Market search.
I've tried clearing Market cache and data, booting, updated firmware etc.
Phone is a rooted KE7, bought from Expansys UK and I'm using it in Finland. Tried to change areas with MarketEnabler, no go, still some apps doesn't show up. There's huge amount of software showing up though, just some specific apps are missing. I just confirmed that they show up on a friends SGS2.
Any ideas how to fix this? Maybe I should try a factory reset, but I really wouldn't want to do that if it's not absolutely necessary.

Thanks jje, but that doesn't really help. The download links in appbrain point to android market, in which they cannot be found with the device. Additionally I cannot install the AppBrain-app, because it's among the apps I cannot find in market.
When clicking direct market links, market just says "The requested item could not be found."
Even if I could use the appbrain application, I'd like to fix the root problem.
Anyone got similiar issues? Or suggestions about fixing it?
Well, did a factory reset and that resolved the issue, now the market shows all apps.
As an afterthought, latest version of Titanium Backup wasn't able to restore any of my datas, just apps. I just got a error message that said "Unable to restore data" or somesuch.
Downgrading Titanium Backup to one version prior fixed this issue, and I could restore my backups.
this method works and is easier:

[Q] market, shows all previous installed apps

Hi,
Since trying out all these new ROMs out there (hats off to their wonderful work), I've noticed that the att modded roms have a market feature that's been driving me batty. I'm not saying its the at&t roms, but I've just noticed this since I started these roms.
The"my app" section used to have a list of the installed apps, and below it was a list on the apps I've purchased, which is cool.
What I've noticed recently in the"my apps" section is a page with the installed apps, then if I swipe to the right, the page shows all the purchased apps, plus all the other apps I've installed since I've started using the market (ones I've stopped using out didn't like and uninstalled). Which I'd cluttered and annoying when reloading apps.
My question is, if it is the version of the market, can I load the Rogers version of the market, out if that isn't practical, can I devourer this list somehow?
Not a huge issue, but an annoyance.
Thank you in advance.

Just use titanium backup to manage your restoring and you won't have to worry about it

Saves me from having to do a search for apps that I have a license key to. Launcher pro and fuel log pro arre 2 that come to mine that I import setting within the app due to tibu bugs when restoring data to them.

Thanks for all the great info. I want aware that was a feature of the new play market.
It's very annoying.. Thanks for the advice of restoring from titanium. I should be able to pull a market apk out of an old ROM zip and install it.
Play needs filters!
Google needs to have a way to sort purchased apps from every other app I downloaded within the past 6 months, which is MANY. I have to scroll 3 pages then might see one purchased app, scroll two more pages to see another couple...

What that guy said.
I find it easier to manage my apps from a computer. I just log onto my google account and then send the apps to the device I want them on...
https://play.google.com/apps
market, website bug
Using PC was my bright idea, untill I figured out, that it only shows you about 10 pages of your apps, alphabeticaly, and there is no way to show next one, so my list ends on letter G.
Also using market on the device after choosing to install an app from the list, I am returned to the beginning of the [email protected]#! Major annoyance.
Also I have restored the device and then logged back in using same account, only to figure that it will not put all the apps back on...
So, if I could have a suggestion- could we have ability to have an app list to install in one click on a new device? Or at the least could we have our apps list with boxes for checkmarks, so we can check all of the nessesary apps and then install them?.... sigh

[Q] Nook Apps not updating?

Alright, I've looked all over and couldn't find anyone asking the same question, so here it goes. Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Back in November I rooted my stock Nook Tablet. I did not install any other ROMs, I just rooted it and used the method to make the software version 9.9.9.
Due to some school things I haven't picked my Nook Tablet up until recently. Tonight I noticed that both the Fandango and Words with Friends apps needed to be updated. So I went to the "Apps" library and tapped "Check for Updates." When I did this, it told me that all apps were up-to-date, despite the fact that both the Fandango and WWF apps still said they needed to be updated.
I suspect this has something to do with the version 9.9.9 thing, but I am not sure, so I jumped on here to ask if anyone has any idea what's up.
Furthermore, I've noticed that if I install WWF Free from the Android Market, by Nook App of WWF no longer says it needs to be updated until I actually click on the app.
Everything else related to the Nook works fine. Downloading books, magazines, other apps, etc. But for some reason, no updates are showing up as available.
Anybody have any idea what's going on? I'm stuck. Once again, any help is appreciated!
Hmm. Ok, so I did some more investigating. It looks like you can force the app to update without using "check for updates" by archiving the app and then un-archiving it.
This is just a work around, but if anyone else has the same problem, this looks to be a way to fix it for now.
I have had the same problem.
I have a similar work around....I use Go Launcher to uninstall the B&N apps and then after a reboot I go to the Nook App Store and redownload the apps. MOST of the time it downloads the new updated version, but sometimes I have to do this process several times to get the new version.

"Search for something on @string/app_name"

I recently rooted (then un-rooted, long story) my Nexus 5x. After restoring my phone, I've noticed that if I do OK Google while in some apps, there's a message in the popup that says "search for something on (at sign)string/app_name" which seems to be a place holder for the actual app name. I never noticed this before restoring my phone. I attempted to reinstall the Google app but the issue persists.
Has anyone else seen this before? Any clues on how to fix it? Not really a huge issue, but it really bugs me.
If this is the wrong forum please let me know.
sounds like a bug in the app (typo in the code), as the "@" isn't used when referencing a string resource like that from Java.
can you post a screenshot? try updating to the latest version of the Google app and/or Google Play Services?
I just noticed this happen on my phone as well. I'm running Android 6.0 and updated the Play Store today. It seems to be an actual feature where you can search for a word on an installed app. E.g. fish on Facebook, cars or Pinterest. I tried this and it worked on a few apps but not everything. If this is actually a new feature and I'm not just confused that could explain the bugs. Since this happened to you a while back, maybe it was unlocked during root, kind of like the split screen Easter egg on 6.0?
