I am on eclipse v0.5. Why are some apps on the market like facebook not compatible with my phone?
Most apps are compatible.
What kind of error or message do you get?
When I go to download facebook from the market there is no download button. Only a message saying my device isn't compatible with it where the button use to be.

Same prob on my n1 for some apps (scottrade, firefox). One temp solution us to undo market updates and cached data and quickly install apps before the market updates itself
Some say its due to the density setting in build.prop... For me even the default density on cm7 didn't help.

If u r rooted you can freeze market updater after clearing DATA and uninstall updates so it wont update on ya. Have had my.phone.like that for a while now market working fine this way
Thanks for everyones input! Turns out that lcd density was messing with it. Once I went back to stock resolution I could download facebook and firefox.

Em, how exactly did you uninstall those system apps? the only real safe way to do it is moving those apps with root explorer or adb from /system/app to /data/app, reboot the phone and then uninstall them like any other market app using the application manager in the setting or some app like mini uninstaller (love that one). fix your phone and do it like this. titanium and other methods are less effective or phone destructive, at least for me

I did not this
I same times used titanium to uninstall the apps without move to data/app

Be careful what apps are you uninstalling.. If you wanna remove some of google apk, only one that you can remove are googlesearch.apk and enhancedgooglesearch.apk. Everything else that have google in part of the name is "must have" since its closely related to google login/synh/market login.
I mentioned to another member, if you are interested, i can post you complete <safe to remove> list of .apks that i find out (there is maybe more), the phone will start without any errors and everything will work fine.
Well, you just need a little of brain to figure out what you can not uninstall. Google **** rocks, in my humble opinion.

Yea, its quite easy to figure out what to delete and what not to touch. After few reflashes, i downed list to a 10 stocked apps and manage to replace stock Contacts.apk with a Contapps one, and stock Conversations.apk with HandcentSMS. Its quite easy.. dont touch google and Semc stuff and everything will be kk Oh, you can remove backup and restore if you wanna, since you can use Titanium or xRecovery backup.
I recently backed up my phone apps then restored them apps. However, after that I went to android market and I realised that none of the apps that I restored was listed on the android market so It's harder to know if there's any software updates available as I have to look up manually. How can I fix this issue?
You're looking for Titanium Backup's Market Doctor function.

That will definetly take care of the problems you are experienceing, or you could find
each app in the market and then hit the "update" button which will update the app and then
give you the option to turn on full time notification.
I'm running the CM7 nightly roms on my NC, and I've recently noticed a number of apps no longer listed as compatible from the market. Angry Birds for example, does not have the install button on the previous market, and on the new 3.1.X market actually has a message at the top of the window that says incompatible.
The web version of the market has my nook grayed out in the install window.
My build.prop is the stock CM7 one, no hacking.
What gives?
I had the same problem and believe the is some other posts for this.
My fix was:
1. diable wifi
2. uninstall the market update
3. backup and uninstall market updater with titanium backup
Sent from my NookColor
My fix is:
set resolution to 160dpi (using LCD Density app or hacking build.prop) and clear Market data
???
profit!!!
Many apps which I have downloaded from market before are saying that they are not available in my country. Whats the point excluding countries? Do the dev wanna make money or not?

1.disabled market update..use old store
2. Froze market update in titanium backup
3. cleared cache and data from store app and from Google services frameworks.
I can now download yahoo and other programs that would not even give me a download button...
I just installed cm7 7.0.0 stable along with the gapps and it came with the new market what would be the best way to allow me to download the tablet version of apps along with google maps/earth right now they say incompatible

Some countries do not have paid app support. Sometimes the dev just likes to keep stuff in the US to not have any problems with money conversions, import/export laws, etc.

Hi, I edited my build.prop manually and changed the fingerprint/description to match a Nexus S using:
ro.build.description=soju-user 2.3.4 GRJ22 121341 release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=google/soju/crespo:2.3.4/GRJ22/121341:user/relelease-keys
rebooted, cleared cache, dalvik, in cwm and booted and everything shows up and works - facebook, netflix, etc...
I just #commented out what was there and added the lines below, saved, rebooted and viola!
Im on CM7 nightly 08312011 on my Nook Color, hope that helps!
PS. I havent messed with the market updater/etc.. Im using the 3.13(cant remember off hand) version of the market posted also, everything showed up before n after.

I've seen this solution a lot except the others didn't say clear market data. I just wanna emphasize that point. It makes the difference.

I also set dpi to 160. I didn't see any fixed app info until I took my Nook to a wifi network I've never used before and ran Google Market; it showed (for the first time after autoupdating to the newer GM a few weeks ago) the accept/deny conditions window. After clicking accept, GM started showing not only the usual apps, games, books sections but also movies. Half my apps which weren't showing updates before showed available updates. Google Market itself updated to the latest edition, still showing Movies.
I'm not sure if using the NC at a brand-new location did something to market data, but if the dpi fix isn't working I would recommend trying (the market data clear).

To get it to work you need to clear market data. That is the main part of the dpi fix not something new.

Well, point was I haven't actively cleared market data, but apps that were blocked before came back and movies are now active --- so does GM do a market data clear when joining a new network or was it something else?

The market auto-updates data. This is also why it breaks again after awhile.

Market seems to be fixed, most likely on Google's server end. A number of us have not needed to clear market data for several days now. I'm going on 4 days with fully functioning market at 160 and no data clearing. Joenathane is experiencing the same. It is possible that this is what angomy experienced albeit in an indirect fashion.
I did not notice till I flashed the newest gapps (0823), so can't say for sure why it is working. Would suggest those clearing market data before opening the app to stop doing so for a while and see if the apps list stays solid.
incompatibility in market
after trying everything, i also found that (atleast for me) if i cleared data for the market, that fixed it.
thanks,

After installing the updated Google+, I started having a ton of data connectivity problems. I was able to uninstall Google+ and that seems to have fixed those issues. The one remaining issue I'm having is that whenever I go to "My Apps" in the market, all it shows is a white blank screen. I can download and install apps just fine (and even update them) but I can NOT get to the my apps screen. I was on Market 3.1.5 when this started. I've tried clearing Market data, market cache, changing Google accounts, clearing cache and dalvik from CWM, uninstalling and reinstalling the market via TiBu (both with and without data) and even updating to market 3.3.11 which is posted in the Apps and Themes section - all to no avail. ANY help would be greatly appreciated.
I'm on Motorola Atrix, CM7 not beta not nightly version with faux123's 1.45GHz kernel.

Been having the same problem here (on two different ROMs) on an HTC Droid Incredible. Have done multiple reflashes; nandroid restores, etc., but since "MyApps" disappeared earlier this week, absolutely zero solutions.
Was banging my head against the wall until I discovered (ironally, of course after Googling) a recent thread on DroidForums about the problem. Nobody has solved it; the new market doesn't fix it. And I can't believe that it hasn't become a bigger deal in the Android community if it's widespread.
One recommended solution I haven't tried is to scrap market and go with AppBrain until Google gets their act together. Another is to freeze Market Updater. Haven't tried that myself.
UPDATE: Okay, now I *have* tried the freeze Market Updater method and that has zero effect. I've filed an issue at Google's site for whatever that's worth.
Try this: go into market app on phone, search an app that is allready installed on your device. Uninstall it with market app and then reinstall it again from market and reboot your phone.
Don't wipe any data or cache! That's very important!
After rebooting go to market and open "My Apps"...no you should see all your installed apps.
This works for me at each time.
Nope. Was worth a try. Meanwhile, engaging with the techie at Google got me the "are you using an OS other than the one authorized by HTC."
Oh, pulease.

sorry i tryed, but my apps remain white!
Same to me :-(
White Applist. Installing new Stock-ROM (Galaxy 2). Apps could be seen. After restore with TB, Applist is white again. This morning on my Galaxy Tab (never touched this): Applist is also white. Bull**t. Using App-Center meanwhile fore updating.

I solved the prob by deinstalling Black Markets on device. After this wipe the data of the Android Market and your Apps will be shown.
After the problem persisted over 3 different ROMs, except an AOSP ROM I just didn't like, I simply switched to AppBrain to get Market functionality.
It'll work until Google fixes the issue.
Try to deinstall other markets, especially "black markets" and wipe the data from the Android Market. It works!
yeah!! thanks. The problem is the black market... searching alternatives markets...

i dont have any markets except the amazon app store on mine
atrix running aura 1.2.2.2 with the damn market 3.3.11 HHHHHHEEEEEEEELLLLLLPPPPPPP
So i need some help
Im trying to purchase some apps and I had apks for them previously to test them out and now im actually trying to buy one and it says purchased on android market
so i tried clearing the market data and cache and such but no luck
and when i click install on the app it just says cant install because you havent purchased the app
you would need to flash a stock ROM.
I had the same issue, this is what I did:
1. NAND backup
2. Flashed rooted stock ROM
3. Purchase apps
4. Restore NAND backup

After using a stolen app (or "testing" as you call it) it will cause this issue even if you uninstall the stolen software. You can use TB to freeze the old market and market updater. Download an apk of an old market version, unfreeze market, and conduct the purchase of the app. Once done, unfreeze the updater and reboot, and it will then show as purchased and be correct. There seems to be no other way.
Basically get an old version of the market running. You may have to use TB to detach the app from the market too.
How can you steal something that isn't corporeal anyway?

If Reinstall the app and then use Titanium backup you can Detach it by long pressing on which ever app your trying to purchase by selecting Detach from Market, then uninstall it and look it backup on the Market!!
What I've done (and its worked for me) is to clear all defaults, cache and data of the app before uninstalling.
Try reinstalling the apk, and doing that first then download from the market and see if it workes for you too
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
You can go to the Android market from a computer and purchase the apps. They don't show up as purchased. I think this is the easiest way around it. If i helped hit thanks.
Finally got it working!! It seems that on old Market versions this bug did not exist. So I did the following:
Method 1:
1. Go to Settings\Applications\Manage applications\All\
2. Look for "Market" or "Google Play Store"
3. Click on "Uninstall Updates"
4. Now go to the Market (should be the old green/white version) and install your desired app. It should no longer say "Purchased" and Presto!!
But you have to be fast before the market updates itself to "Google Play Store" or you can freeze the "Market Updater" app using Titanium Backup so you can do your thing without worring of it updating to the new version.
Method 2:
Find an old Market apk and replace the current one. Not sure which version it works because once I purchased my app it immediately updated the market and didn't give me chance to see the version .Should be the green/white app we had before.
Hope it works for you guys too!
