Anyone else having issues with the Android Market? None of my apps are showing up under My Apps, and therefore, anything that has an update doesn't show up.

Noticed yesterday, that i'm not able to download anything from market...was always stucking on "...start downloading".
Tried to clear data, cache and also restored a cwm backup..no success. Was on 3.1.5. Updated to 3.1.6..also doesn't help. im on the 2.3.4 old market now, which is working for me

I had the same things. 3.1.6 combined with multiple force stop and clear data finally did it for me.
The titanium backup market tools did find some inconsistencies even after that.

I am seeing the same issue as well. I am using Market v3.1.5. A couple days ago in My Apps I was showing 123 installed applications. Today I am only seeing 94. When I do a search for an application that should be showing in My Apps, the search will return the result and shows that I have the application installed. But when I go into the app on the Market. it is telling me that in a yellow ribbon on top "Your device is not compatible with this item".
One application in particular that this is happening to me on is Norton Mobile Security. And because the Market is now telling me that this application is not compatible on my device, my paid subscription is no longer being recognized, taking me from the Full version to the Lite version. A second example of an app is Astro File Manager.
The Market App sucks period! Its the buggiest piece of crap on my phone lol.
Possible fix/ work around
I have had this problem on my HTC Hero - it occurred on v3.1.5 of the Market, but not on 3.0.26 and earlier.
I found that when I changed the dpi settings on my display back to the standard setting and then cleared the market data (from Settings - Applications - Market) that it worked again.
If you have used Droid Tweaker or similar to change display settings, then try changing it back to standard - which I believe is 240 for the HTC Evo 3D (correct me if I'm wrong!)
For those who like manually editing stuff, the line in question is found in /system/build.prop and looks like this:
ro.sf.lcd_density = ###
Once you have set it back to standard, reboot the phone, and then clear the market data as above. If this works, then you have your answer - I have got nowhere with Google and found this out from their forums. It seems to affect a fair number of different devices and users.
I have 2 gmail accounts and somehow the market was working off the wrong account. check menu > accounts and make sure it is on the correct account.

I've had this problem since day one, and now it's getting irritating.
I just cannot seem to find some apps in the market. Like Stupid zombies. I found the game via AppAware market, followed the link there, but market says it cannot be found.
I'm running Froyo 2.2. I doubt so many apps are optimized for Gingerbread, because thats the only reason I can think of.

Appware probably didn't update and the app probably got taken off the market. I did a search and got no results.

It has something to do with tmobile and with our particular phone certain apps just wont work and the market wont let us see is for exaple i wanted a app called can knockdown that my friend has on his Nexus one and he can still see it in the market but i couldnt so i downloaded it off a alternative app market and it still wont install i have been told that if you take out your sim card it will work but it didnt work for me
This is due to Carrier or Country restrictions. This is your answer:
http://www.mediafire.com/?6gxudncfxz19aai
An app called Market Access. This app emulates to the android os (i.e. the market) that you are on another network, therefore you can download other things that ou could not view earlier.
This app requires rooting.
To use it, clear you cache (using something like CacheMate) and run the market access. Backup your current carrier code and choose another carreir.
After the successful emulation. Run the market and enjoy the stuff.
After you finish. re-emulate to your original carrier code using the market access Restore option. And its better to clean tha cache afterwards.
Hope this helps.
Market Enabler.. Similar app as mentioned above.
Okay so I tried Market Enabler. It does change my carrier since I can see the currency change, but I still can't see the app. I'll try a few more carriers.

Hi,
I have just installed CM7 on my nook color and noticed that 2 of my favorite apps are missing from the market, Netflix and Amazon. When I pull up the apps in AppBrainMarket and click install, nothing happens. Can anyone help me with this problem? It would be greatly appreciated.
Well go into settings>applications select Market and clear data and cache. Then reboot and try
Thank you for the quick response but that did not work. Is there anything else it could be?
You need to have a different fingerprint in your build.prop file. You can use one from another phone/device. That line is how the market determines which "protected" apps you are or are not allowed to see.

Is there a better device name and manufacturer to use other than the default
"bn NookColor"?
The NookColor isn't even suppose to really have google market access.
I've had luck with either 'ro.product.model=HTC Vision' 'ro.product.manufacturer=HTC' or 'ro.product.model=Nexus S' 'ro.product.manufacturer=samsung'
Should be the only two you need. I've only ran into a couple app that don't show up in the market. But, web-install from the market's web site works like a charm.
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?

I did this..I couldn't run Yahoo fantasy football app
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,

Today I discovered how to bypass this. I guess its a glitch or whatever... just clear defaults for market. Look for the app on Google for the market link. Follow it using market to make sure its the one. Go back to Google. This time follow it using browser.(before this make sure your not signed in on market.android.com) and click install. It will pop up asking you to sign in. Click sign in. Then it will ask again to use browser or market. This time hit market and it will be at accept & download... just tap that and it will start downloading...
I am running kushdecks ics. Not sure if it has anything to do...
Also don't try on non free apps.
Just found it curious I guess.

what are you talking about? installing apks away from the market from your sd card?
no. you know how sometimes you get links to the market and when you go to the market on the phone it says that your device isn't compatible? well that.
just open the link using your browser on the phone. then hit install it'll ask to sign in. when you press the sign in button. it asks you to either use the browser or the market app. hit market and just download...
Blah, they must have fixed it. Grrrrrrrr.....I want two games from there sale! >_<
Its only for free apps or games... if it has a price it gives an error

Try this: (note: only works on rooted phones)
Download this app https://market.android.com/details?id=com.wemobs.android.lcdresolution (free from the market) & reset your screen resolution back to stock.
Next, Force Stop Market & then Clear Data in Menu>Settings>Applications>Manage Applications.
Reopen Market, accept the TOS, & try to get your app!
I had this same problem & this fixed it for me. Seems the market checks your device's screen resolution to see if the app is compatible @ that resolution or not & if it's not supported by the app, you get the "Your device is not compatible" message.
Hope this helps.

thanks, Im a bit of a noobie
where is the build.prop and what exactly should I change it to? I want to install 3D apps so I should change to xxx3D?
I just noticed I cant even install a plain notepad app from MArket "Your device isnt..." Is that because of the QHD resolution..? Also screenshot app got "Your device isnt..."
This android market is a pain in the but...almost as restrictive as iphone market place...
EDIT: I found build.prop and changed ro.product.model=LG P920 Optimus 3D but still ""Your device isnt..." message.
What else should I change...?
It worked for me
Thank you
I've gone back to stocj rooted rom and everythings dandy....no more issues...
Hi all, just a quick report on this issue- using CM7 copes, android 2.3.2 booted from SD card on hd2 dual boot with WP7 in nand.
I was having the incompatible issue fairly often, so I installed "LCD Resolution (Root)" free download from the Market (it allowed me to install that one) but I think you have to donate $.99 for it to work. Then, in this order, force close Market (if running), delete the data, then launched LCD Resolution and reset my resolution from 180 default to 160, hit apply but did not check always boot into this (an option), then the app rebooted the phone. After the reboot I checked the resolution- it was at 160- opened Market, accepted terms, searched for the app I wanted and was able to install it without a problem.

I just read a review of the LCD Resolution app and the reviewer said the app was saying all market apps were incompatible until he reverted to the default settings for the display
same problem on lizi y4 (gooapple v5)
I also have so many problems with "device isn't compatible with this version" in google play. I have a Lizi Y4, which is same model as Gooapple V5.
I tried installing lcdresolution, but cannot, as device isn't compatible .
What are the checks that google play makes? Is it indeed giving me this message due to density, or does it do other checks too?

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.

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
