Some apps not in market - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey all,
So i'm now running 2.3.4 and the new android market, one thing i've noticed is that i can't see all the apps in the market that i once could. I tried a google search and came up with 2 apps- Market enabler and market access. I installed both, set the sim thing to t-mobiles, but i still can't see the apps (onstar for example).
Any tips on getting the market restriction removed?
Thanks

[Q] Display all apps in the android market

Hi,
I used to use appbrain for downloading apps which are not available in the stock android market but ever since google update the android market it appears that I can't use appbrain even after uninstalling updates and clearing the cache. Simply speaking, I want to be able to see all apps that are available in the market whether it's for froyo, paid, region specific, or what not. So, does anyone have a solution to show all apps in the android market?
I did do a search on the internet and I got a hold of this: droidxforums.com/forum/droid-x-hacks/5501-build-prop-edits-great-battery-life-fast-phone-full-market.html Has anyone with an xperia x10 mini tried this or something similar? Thanks.

[Q] apps Update problem

After moving to 351 update (15609)
my apps were washed away. (thats ok, as I had too many apps installed anyway!)
Now, I have apks of all the softwares I had before, and which were useful.
Some are paid ones, of which I do not have the installer apks
For the free apps, which I installed without logging on to market, I am not able to see any update menu!
and they are not showing up in My apps (part in market) either.
-the "market" app has changed too (from what it was before.)
Help please.
Thanks,
Sony.
Another issue!
I see some notifications stick around a lot longer! (irritating!)
"Battery full Please remove charger" stays on for like 15 seconds.
Bluetooth voice dialing works well,
Wifi works with much better success rate of connecting!
MODs: Please rename thread as "Problems with 351 (15609)" or something similar.
Sony.
Note: I have already tried the Clear Cache solution.

Damn: I tried to "Uninstall Updates for Market" in applications menu.
and now, the Market looks primitive!
whats wrong here!?
By uninstalling the market updates you went back to the oldest version of the market.
I can't help you with the apps, but it sounds as if you might need to flash your phone again.
Now new thing!
Today the phone got stuck at the lock screen (long time!)
then I restarted it through Power button long press.
Then the Dell logo kept coming again and again.. and it didnt boot~!
So, I removed the battery cover, and rebooted. then it was fine! (yikes)
I am on stock, no roots, no nothing yet!
Even the default update can cause problems?(Oh, I had not rebooted the phone since 2 days.. but I have gone longer before.. without the phone getting any slower!)
One thing is definitely mentionable though,
The battery life has been exceptional!!
Full charge in the morning (6 am - unplugged)
And, decent browsing (FB + gmail) + 40-50 mins of calls + games for 30-40 mins
and by 7 pm I still have 68% battery
That has been the case for past two days (since I upgraded 318 to 351)​
@Strephon Alkhalikoi
you suggest, I flash the phone again?
hmm. Ok, will try that if nothing else works.
Any other suggestions on the table?
One more thing
I had used the Dell Backup and Restore > and used system settings restore too (in the options)
Just thought of putting it, as thats the only thing thats between the flash and the current problem. << (any relation?)
Help appreciated!
Sony
Re-flashed!
WEll,
i am officially going nuts!
I flashed the 351 update again.
everything nice and sweet..
But, hey!
Market is still behaving crazy!!
and App brain or anythin is also unable to do any good!
Guys! Please help!!
The Market is not showing apps, which I install off my SD card apks!!
whats wrong!?
Bonkers,
Sony
Anybody, yet?
Hey guys,
anybody ever faced such a problem?
Anybody know any solution ( that I havent mentioned in above posts? ).
Highly appreciate the help!
Sony.
When you install apks, they won't show in the market. You'll need to use an illegitimate market to show all installed apks (search google).

I did search google extensively!
My method of installing has a name: sideloading, (right?)
and, I see, that it 'does' show in the market for other guys!
and, Google search shows this as a sync-market issue!
people have some work arounds and all, but none is sure shot way of doing that.
I am looking for a solution.
Thanks,
Sony.
Are your free apps not showing up as installed either...
If you are using pirated apps they normally won't show up as installed, much less allow you to update without paying for them through the market.
Any free apps you use, you shouldn't install them from the sd card, rather install them directly from the market....

none of the apps are showing up (free + paid)
No pirated ones. Paid ones (only 2 of them, but, even those arent showing up!!)
About installing free apps from market-
well, that is one solution. but,
my question is exactly the corollary of that!
Why are sideloaded apps not showing up, when they did just finely show up, when I was on 318 !!?
What happens when you guys 'sideload' any app?
Let me know.
Thanks!
Sony.
P.S. People are discussing it on market.google.com/discussions as a 'market-sync' issue! as stated in prev post of mine.
*Sigh!*
Since google released their web-based market interface, the definitive list of apps on your phone (as shown in the market app) comes from the list on the website, which is the list of apps that were downloaded and installed through the market.
If you sideload something, it doesn't appear on this list.
In the past, pre- the web interface to the market, the definitive list was generated by the market app by scanning your phone. Not any more.
The only way now to get the apps to appear in the market app as installed is to install them through the market app (or market website).
Best workaround I know of is to use appbrain's app market. The app in that still scans your phone for the list, and can check for updates, and then uses the standard market to install the updates, so from then on the app is listed in the standard market.
So, basically, to get the apps listed in your standard market app's list, don't sideload.
Now, I just learned of a market backup program that you could have used beforehand, but that doesn't help much now :s.

[Q] The market problem

[Q] Android market not showing all my apps in my apps section ..

Hi ,
My android market ( 3.1.5 ) only shows the apps installed via market in the my apps section .
I also installed many other apps from sources other than Android market , but these apps do not show up in the my apps section of android market . Is this normal .?
I want these apps ( ones installed from other sources ) to show up in the my apps section of android market , to know when an updated version of those apps are available ...
So , is it normal for the apps installed from other sources not to show up in my apps section of android market .? If yes , is there a way to make them appear in the my apps section for new version tracking .??
Also are there any other apps which track new versions of all applications apart from atrackdog and appbrain .??
They don't appear in the market section if they are installed from other sources,although market recognizes them as installed.
Yet another reason why the new market is crap.
I got this problem so i uninstalled market updates from applications in settings and froze marketupdater.apk in system/apps.
Im now on the old market which recognizes all my apps (new market doesnt do this)
downloads everytime (new market fails/stalls alot!)
and is very quick (new market its painfully slow)
Why google thought the new market was an update is beyond me. its so far from a finished artical its unreal! it should be called market beta!
If it stutters on my sgs2 i dread to think what its like on a slower handset.
If you have several google accounts, switch to the correct one to make the already installed apps showing up.
No , only a single account .
Yet the apps installed outside the market do not show up in my apps section of market ..
Should they show up by default .??

I never saw the apps installed from other sources in my apps section, whichever version of the market i used. So i think this should be the default behavior. Although if you search those other sources apps in the market they show as installed. I think this is how it should be. My apps market section only shows you the apps you downloaded in the market.

AppBrain App Market and aTrackDog, none of them is perfect, but they are somewhat useful for providing info about updates for apps installed from other sources. If anyone knows some other tracking app please share the info
ya Please someone share some other source apart from appbrain and atrackdog for Update tracking ....!

Missing Apps in "My Apps"

Hello,
i installed the market form ICS (i know its not optimized for tablets).
And suddenly all apps were disappeared from the list, all i got only this: (see attachment)
When i delete the app and use the stock app, all apps appear in the list but the market itself doenst work. So I get only the "My Apps" List :/
So I tried the 3.1.5 Market, which is actually optimized for tablets - but still no apps :/
maybe clearing your Market cache will help?
Just tried, nope :/
I have the same problem on my evo. I use Old Market, and it works like a charm. But it isn't as streamlined as the new one.

Did you remove the My Apps (vendor.apk) and Market (finsky.apk) before adding the new vendor.apk?
I have the new 3.3.11 release from android police running without any issues.

If you are a rooting user, just try titanium backup pro.
