Just over the past 2-3 days, the Market does not display anything under "My Apps". Proper Google account is displayed, cleared Market app cache/data, tried other versions of the Market app. Even tried an sbf and setting up my account again. Nothing seems to work. Yet all my apps are properly associated with my Google account on the web and can be pushed to the phone from there.
Prob doesn't seem to be ROM related. Also happens on stock GB 2.3.4. Anyone else currently seeing this, or seen it in the past?
I've seen it when restoring with tibu. I just market update all my apps after restoring and they show up.

Nope, that wasn't it. Went to TBU and scanned for broken links - only found a few and updated them. Then marked all apps for auto-update to see if that makes a diff. Checked the Market app, killed market cache/data and checked again. Nothing.
Yet if if inquire about the Market status of any app from within TBU, it shows the link is active. I can view any app in the Market from TBU (or the Market app) and the Market shows "installed". Yet none will show up on my "My Apps" page. Very strange.
By coincidence I came across an item in one of the blogs I follow that said that this could happen if you have more than one gmail account; somehow the apps get linked to the other gmail account, rather than the one you're using currently. If this is the case sign on into the other account and then go to the market again and see if your apps show up.
I do have two Google accounts but only one on my phone. All my apps seem to be assigned to this account - just not showing up on the "My Apps" screen. I did sign in with the other account on the web and it showed only a few system apps (Gmail, Maps, Google Books, Google Search, etc.), which would be as expected.

Can you please tell me exactly what you mean by... "sign on into the other account"? At one point I DID get a message pop up on the app that said something like "Please sign into your Google Account". Not sure how it wanted me to do that ...other than to simply check the right account box within the Market app settings. And since I only have the one Google account on my phone, it was already checked. Am I missing something there?
Is this issue persisting for you still? I am not experiencing it but can verify the cant buy a paid app for some reason on my current rom. But when i go to myapps it lists them all.
Coincidentally, I think it's two seperate issues. I think the "not being able to buy apps" is ROM related, and works OK on MGF .7a. However, this new problem started up after that, and it appears that not too many folks suffer from it. I may have brought it on myself by swtiching arround Market apps trying to resolve the first issue.
I also believe this other app list problem may be on the Market server end. I saw two itemized "known problems" on the Market support site. No one else has reported not seeing ANY apps on the list, but some folks have missing apps. Another "known problem" that appears to be widely spread is that on the web view, no apps at all show up on page 11 and above in the apps library. I have that problem also. I sent Market tech suport an email. Don't know if they will give me more useful information or not.
Update.... Two days later, still having this problem, despite an spf back to stock. But so are a lot of other people apparently. Here is a long thred on DroidForums.net about this very issue.
Anyone else here experiencing this Market problem?
I'm having the same problem!
And I have done it all! Sbf and all!
Here is the official google response..
Hi Robert,
Thanks for writing in.
Has your device been rooted, or have any custom ROMs been installed on your device? I can troubleshoot your issue to the best of my abilities, but please be aware that rooted devices and unauthorized operating systems (custom ROMs) may have limited functionality due to the compatibility of the device. For best results, I recommend using the authorized Android operating system provided by your manufacturer that can be obtained from their website or your carrier.
If I can assist you further, please let me know.

I'm on this newest market version. Am rooted. Running liberty now. Also ran eclipse w/ this market. I have no problems viewing My Apps.
And Google already has been doing root checks before this version. At least with the movies. U can't watch movies u rented on a rooted device ..it tells u that straight up when u try that its not allowed because u are rooted. (But there is a Google videos apk with a workaround to that. Couple things u can do to watch...just Google it)
So u might want to look into other fixes...
dunno if I've tried clearing.ur Google backup data by.disabling the setting in.privacy. maybe something backed up there is messing wit ur account
I've been having this problem as well for a couple weeks (currently rooted droidx with liberty 3). What do you mean by clearing the google backup data, ashclepdia?

Not sure of the regular x has this feature (I assume it should)
Located under settings>privacy>backup personal /user data(such as apps wifi passwords and browser bookmarks ) to google servers.
it backs up certain data you wouldn't expect(such as wallpaper used and others)
Im not certain of any way to clear it. I know when u uncheck it supposed to clear the data from goggle servers.(but I would want to just be safe and reboot. Factory reset. Then check the box again so that the data that is backed up at that point isfrom freshly wiped phone and whatever u add after.)
Now its just a thought. I haven't had the.problem u all seem to be having. Either on market 3.1.5 or 3.3.11(currently what I use)
So if u don't mind going through setting up again then see if that works.
Also. Is everyone with this problem using multiple gmail accounts?
i am missing all my apps also. weird thing is that my market is fine when running eclipse 2.
---------- Post added at 04:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:27 PM ----------
i am not using multiple accounts. i have only one gmail account. i did use titanium backup just before i noticed it happened but i dont know if it is related or not.
I have had this problem for at least two months now. I have one Google account and am runing liberty rom. Have tried everything. I think it is a Google server problem.

I've had the problem for about four months, but finally solved it. I bought a Galaxy Nexus.
After trying everything like you, including returning my X2 completly to "out-of-the-box" stock setup, I'm also convinced that it is a Google problem that is tied to individual user accounts and there is nothing that can be done locally on the phone. (After returning the phone to stock, I later did another factory reset and then loaded my wife's account on my phone. Market works fine.)
I really miss MotoBlur email, and the stock Vsuite app by Nuance, but I'm not looking back. Anyone like to buy a slightly used Droid X2, with tons of accessories?

Sent from my MB870 using xda premium
I've been a victim of this bug for some time. I did try CM7 for a bit and noticed that my Market worked fine but when I flashed back to stock (2.3.4) this bug returned. For better or worse I reported this back to Google (as I have an open ticket) and this was the response I got:
Thanks for following up and for the additional information. We're not in need of any other troubleshooting of the issue at this time, as we've identified the cause, and are working on resolving it. I'll definitely keep you updated!

So hopefully, those of us on a stock-based build will see a resolution from Google soon.
I have the same problem on stock blur. I wonder if it had something to do with the market being older. You can update the market but not until you sign into your Google account under old market. I have thought of maybe setting up test account updating market then signing in with normal account to see if that helps but been on cm7 and haven't been stock for awhile. Maybe if moto ever updates to ics it will fix it

Hello everyone!
I first reported it here, I've come to realize that this issue affects users of various roms, so I thought I'd ask here.
When going into the market, "my apps" list is empty, since yesterday.
The things I've tried include:
restarting
ticking and unticking "unknown sources"
cleaning market cache and data
upgrading and downgrading the market app
installing free and paid apps
removing and reinstalling the market itself
freezing and unfreezing the market using TB
running "market doctor" from TB
uninstalling non-market apps
I googled and searched this forum quite a bit, but there seems to be no recent feedback on such an issue, and the suggested methods don't work.
Demonstration image attached, courtesy of marvi0. This is from the latest market app. When using 3.1.5 or earlier, the page is just blank.
This seems to be a cross-rom issue, as I am using HyperDroid-Androidmeda-v2.8.7 and users reported it happening with Criskelo's ROM and Pulser's ROM as well. So far, 5 reports were collected.
A strange behavior I've noticed is that following a restart, while the storages are being scanned, I was able to briefly access the list. After 2 seconds, it refreshes into the blank again. Being not the only one with this issue, I'd deduct it's not device-specific.
I'd be glad to provide more details, and appreciate any input on this issue.
Check which gmail account the market is linked to, if you are using more than 1 account.

I have the same issue since last night. I even restored a nandroid backup (when I didn't have that issue) and problem perssisted. I am using Criskelo v75 ROM. I was told by Android Market "support" that there is nothing to do since I don't have the stock ROM (but problem is in the cloud: it is a Google problem!). So I will flash the stock ROM and I will send the screenshots to that support guy, he will work then or he will say "I don't wanna work so I will do like in your last message: nothing at all"...

Ok, maybe is a problem with the current account because I did full wipe (dalvik cache, cache and data), I installed one app from Market and... this app (and other integrated in the ROM appeared in "My apps"!!!! :O. I restored my nandroid backup but problem perssisted. I will unlink my Google account from my phone and I will link it again: maybe this is the solution.

Had no doubt that a full wipe will solve this, but the trick is pinpointing the actual problem...
Currently I am uninstalling everything (all user apps) from my device using the batch option in TB. I'll keep you posted!
EDIT:
It obviously helped. Uninstalling everything, then redownloading almost anything I had on my device. Currently I am downloading, this will be followed by restoring the data using TB. I have a long evening ahead of me
I'll try to pinpoint the exact app/place the error takes place.
I have had exactly the same problem, and over the last two days have tried absolutely every possible solution. I have tried three different market versions, wiping cache, data, uninstalling apps, restoring previously working back ups, The closest I came to a fix was to delete all back ups in Titanium back up, then factory reset, wipe cache, and dalvik, in Cwm, then reboot and re sign into Google account installing all my apps through the now working market.
However on doing another back up in TB and checking the market again I have the same message in "my apps " applications and games owned by this account will appear here soon!,
They never do! I am currently running latest Cyanogen nightly with latest Siyah kernel, I have also tried with cyan kernel.
Searching around on Google this does appear to be a problem for many other android users, and I suspect the fault lies with Google, However any possible solutions would be appreciated, This has took over my life for two days!
It happens to me too. In fact i've seen that i have several accounts bounded to the market (menu >> accounts) and one has no applications ! check this and select all accounts...

Yes I do have apps from other markets, but I have "fixed this" once by wiping all data,re signing into market, restoring market apps there, then restoring all remaining other apps through TB, at this point market and My apps was working okay, However on creating a new back up in TB this problem re occurred.
As a footnote updates can be found and performed via the market, using Appbrain. I am at the point I have tried all possible solutions and firmly believe the fault lies with Google.
my issue was slightly different. I have 72 apps installed but in Market only 30 of them where visible since yesterday and one app (Antutu) shown to be updated - but even the update for antutu was not possible. Therefore I uninstalled Antutu und installed it again and surprising in the Market are now all 72 apps visible again.
So it seems some apps which have to be updatet brake the Market and do not show the app list or just partially.

I uninstalled 92 apps: I can't write by hand all those apps here! hahaha. But I will answer your questions: I had (and I still have some) manual APKs installations, I haven't ever had any app from a different Market. I had Market apps too.
A guy in a spanish forum (http://www.htcmania.com/showthread.php?p=3098961 (I started that thread) told that it happens with no official ROMs for the device and/or different DPI. I mean: if you have an HTC Legend with Cyanogenmod 7 your phone will be identified as a Nexus (I think), but your Legend DPI is lower than the Nexus DPI. Google ban those devices in the Market. But it doesn't make sese since I haven't installed a different ROM or changing the DPI in my Samsung Galaxy S!!!!
I hope this helps.
PS: all the affected users should write to Google in order to open a ticket and force them to work on it, instead of claiming about it in forums as I did hahaha (but I wrote to Google too )
This is now widely reported for all Android devices, and has an open issue on the Android Market Forum. Google is "aware and working on it".
For those who got their list back, don't be surprised if it goes away again, and don't fight with it - it's not you, it's them
Your market web library should still list all your apps, and I'm using AppBrain to get update notifications until they get it figured out.

Thank - jollyb for Finding/Translating THIS fix he found on a croatian forum.
1. Open Google play (Market) in Chrome browser (on your desktop/laptop) and find the wanted app (best would be that you backup the app via Ttitanium backup if you can, and uninstall it)
2. 'Right-Click' on "PURCHASED and select Inspect element
3. Above the selected row you'll see [data-ispurchased="true"]

4. Change "true" to "false" and press ENTER
(Having problems with downloading another app? Change the inspect element back to "true", app should start downloading now)
5. Click PURCHASED that will open the popup to buy via Google Wallet so you can purchase the app.
Tested on Google Chrome browser, please post if you've had success with/on different browsers.

People who have downloaded apps from Amazon app store for the free app of the day, and now since the Android Market has been updated to the Play Store, alot of those amazon apps are showing as purchased in Play Store but aren't downloadable or able to be purchased at all since it's linked to your Google account as I guess a pirated app or something.

Awesome. I've been wondering how to do this. I traded phones with someone a while back and made a backup of all apps before I wiped the phone and I have been unable to purchase ADW Launcher EX because I restored the backup and then the market said it was purchased already but wouldn't let me download it.

I also found that if you uninstall the market updates (temporarily) and go back to the older style market, you can properly purchase them, even if it said "purchased" when using the newer market versions.
The amazon free app a day is a great example of what causes this problem.
Man this is so awsome, it works like a charm and solved many headaches of not being able to update stuff..

I have that as well but it is for apps that were purchased/downloaded from the Amazon App Store which is why they won't update.
Using Firefox on-device, I entered this into the address bar while viewing the product page. 'Purchased' didn't change to the price, but clicking 'Purchased' did allow me to complete the purchase as per usual just the same though.

And if you guys wanna just get rid of the "Purchased" status on the Play Store you can perform the topic's workaround (buying the app) from your pc and then while it's downloading on your phone you can cancel the process and press the "Refund" button.
You can even keep the sideloaded app installed on your phone!
This way you'll have the app set to the "right status"
Cheers!

Are you saying that, it's a bug with play store? Are you getting an error message?
Sent From my Two Tin Cans & String Device on The Wookie Network
Is it just me or the Play Store doesnt show my purchased (but not installed) apps? It used to be on the bottom of the list. If I swipe right in my installed list I can view all but it also shows apps I've viewed or installed previous including free ones so its a very long list and is not categorized.
Is there anyway to get my paid uninstalled apps on the bottom again? I assume this is a google play bug
FIXED: Member mgf8384 sent me a PM and told me that he had the same issue and uninstalled google play updates and found an old Market app. Installed it and was able to see them again. He also mentioned he contacted google and they are aware of the issue.
So depending if you have custom rom that has current play store or not. In my case I'm using ZR3D 1.6 and after I uninstalled Google Play updates and reopened market, I was able to see them again. Thanks again to mgf8384 for pointing this out!

Incorrect post? The link shows how to downgrade hboot.
go into settings, applications, and google play store, force close it, clear data, go into accounts and sync and "sync now" your google account, then open play store again and they should be there
Go to play store, press Menu, press My apps, swipe right (to get to the All apps menu) and tana! All your apps: free and paid, installed and uninstalled.

FIXED: Member mgf8384 sent me a PM and told me that he had the same issue and uninstalled google play updates and found an old Market app. Installed it and was able to see them again. He also mentioned he contacted google and they are aware of the issue.
So depending if you have custom rom that has current play store or not. In my case I'm using ZR3D 1.6 and after I uninstalled Google Play updates and reopened market, I was able to see them again. Thanks again to mgf8384 for pointing this out!
i got the same prob now too.
getting this overview of all my purchased and installed apps was one of the main points why i bought apps.
if google eliminates this page, it also eliminates my motivation to buy apps too.
i uninstalled those play updates now too, and now i'm back to the old android market. the three categories "Updates", "Installed" and "Not Installed" are back, and i'm happy again..
i hope google will fix this, and not force us to use that new "my apps" page...
EDIT: well ****! after a minute it automaticaly updated back to google play, and the page now is the same crap again!
seems like i'm not going to buy any app again.. :/

Noticed that too. So I have to keep uninstalling the updates. I think the permanent fix is to downgrade to old market. All my tablets with Google play exhibit the same issue.

I have had this issue a few times.. What always works is a clear data wipe under applications of google play and it finds all the stuff...
Google said they fixed the issue... But I know a handful of folks still have it...

That one I havent seen yet. Mine always shows as paid as long as I do "uninstall updates".
If you are in the "My Apps" page in the app, slide the page to the left and you will see "ALL" and there is a list of all of your apps that you ever installed, including the purchased one. My purchased, but uninstalled apps are at the bottom of that list. I do have the latest Play Store on my phone.

this is crap.
i install many apps, and i just want a clear view over my installed and not installed paid apps.
it used to be perfect, but this time google ****ed it up
Apps!
I had this problem with my phone also. What i did was uninstalled updates which sent my phone back to the original market. this worked. When i flashed another custom ROM this problem happened again, so then i searched for a thread to download an older version of android market and then installed it. Before you continue any updates to the current version of play store, go to your purchased apps and redownload them. This is a bug on Googles side. I emailed them a couple weeks ago and they said they were aware and were working on it. Let me know if this helped at all.
This is what you do delete the updater APk using titanium. Back up .delete Google play now download. This market. And your all fixed repeat whenever's. Necessary .

I recently started getting this loading screen that freezes up my phone for up to 10 seconds, where even the back and home buttons do nothing. It comes out of nowhere, while using any application (texting, chrome, anything) and I think it happens when I'm backing out of the app to return to my home screen.

I haven't installed anything in the past few weeks but this started only a day or so ago. Anyone have any ideas?
Apps that I have installed:
animgif LWP2
barcode scanner
battery widget
beautiful widgets
beyondpod
catch
cerberus
chrome
ES file explorer
firefox
gmail
google play music/etc
instagram
mx player
netflix
nova launcher (perhaps this is the culprit?)
pandora
phone info
pixlr express
pocket
pulse
quadrant
reddit sync
simple calendar widget
simple text
snapseed
speed test
swype beta 1.4
wunderlist
I suppose I might start uninstalling apps one by one every day until it stops...?
Questions go in the QA section, not general
I'm pretty sure that it's not nova launcher... next time after you see that popup, go to settings / applications manager / running-tab, and check which apps are running.
Edit: or try to find that app from recents list by long pressing home button.
maybe swype updating
Not swype. I don't have it installed on my Verizon GS3. Nothing in recents. Just happened to me during reboot. In fact, it was preparing sdcard for use ( I don't think that they are connected - this is just to give you an idea of how fast). I don't have my phone set up for the hand - swipe screen capture. During this, the phone is totally useless - no home key, no menu button, or back button. LOCKED.
I'm seeing the same thing, and a search brought me to this thread. I took your list of apps and deleted the ones that I don't currently have installed, which leaves:
barcode scanner
beautiful widgets
chrome
ES file explorer
firefox
gmail
google play music/etc
netflix
nova launcher (I just deleted it on mine since I'm using APEX right now)
pandora

I'm also with VZW. (I hope its not Verizon screwing with us).
Saw the message today for the first time while playing a game and thought it was the game. Now I have encountered it three times while doing other things and its pretty annoying, to say the least.
The buttons on the phone do not work during this message but the palm swipe to capture the screen does.
I have these applications:
Chrome
Calendar
Facebook
Google Search
Email
I have Chrome and Chrome Beta. which one do you have?
I'm also on VZW.
I use regular Chrome (among many other applications--which I am too lazy to list right now). I have been having the problem for a few weeks as well.
The gs3 has been off and on slow/laggy, and I haven't been playing video or anything like that. Mostly listening to podcasts via pocket casts while doing other things.
Sorry for the ramble

I get the same message, sometimes followed by an error asking to call a 1800 number for help. I started the My Verizon Mobile app and got the same error message so I believe this message is also coming from the My Verizon Mobile app.
I'm having the same problem and out of those apps I only have Pandora and Google Music/Play...its never taken my to MyVerizon though. Has anyone figured this out yet?

I'm getting the same issue, and have been since doing a factory reset last week. It just happened again five minutes ago while watching a movie trailer within the Samsung media hub app (I'm unrooted running stock 4.1).
I'll narrow down your list even further. Here's what I have installed out of it:
gmail (stock version)
google music (the default version that comes with stock).
This doesn't sound good.
ok so I reset my phone to stock again and I got this pop up again...can we get some developer help with this
Any updates on this? I've been seeing the same thing as well over the last 2 weeks. Running 4.1.2 stock rooted on Verizon.
I think that his issue had something to do with Verizon's Backup Assistant; whenever I would open up "storage" in the settings, I would see the Backup Assistant trying to figure out how much space is left, and then while that was occurring, I consistently got the "please wait while we prepare this application for use" message.
I froze Backup+ Media 2.0, and I have not seen the message since then.

Both phones are getting this since January update. Also get a message that seems to be hitting global roaming with the message that
E9haBNy is getting about an 800 number to call -- Verizons. I've called VZW twice and they "don't know anything about it."
I just tried opening My Verizon Mobile app on both phones and it pops the same message. I think we may have found the culprit, but we need to convince Big Red they caused the problem.
Possible solution....
I recently experienced this bizarre behavior when trying to view available storage under the settings. The stupid message would get in my way and go from saying "Just a few moments while we prepare this application for use" To an error saying "Sorry, we're having trouble connection..." I checked under running apps and services and found one called, VZWAPN... which I force stopped. I then toggled back to the storage page and the error was gone.
This has got to be a glitch since going under the storage really doesn't have anything to do with the APN settings.
Further notes: If your phone is rooted you can use the Titanium Backup app to freeze the VZWAPNServices which doesn't remove it from the phone but will prevent it from running. If you have Verizon as your carrier freezing it may cause undesired behavior but you can always test it by freezing and if needs be defrosting the service. I'm on Cricket so I don't have any need for verizon's APNs.
S Memo will let me create a text or drawing memo but as soon as I save it, it freezes up for a few seconds and then goes to a black screen where it says "Unfortunately, S Memo has stopped". S Health does basically the same thing. It lets you enter your age/height/weight/etc but then as soon as you hit start, it freezes, black screen, stopped message.

I thought it might have something to do with me disabling some of the bloatware in application settings, but I re-enabled everything and they still aren't working.
Is anyone else having this problem?
Working fine here, first time I've ever tracked my steps/food... neat stuff.
Hate to say it, but disabling some of the apps may not be necessary, and even restoring them can lead to issues like this You know what comes next.
I just did a factory data reset and the problem is still there. S Memo and S Health still don't work.
Oh well, time to set everything up on the phone how I want again.
That's strange. I opened S Health the other day and it required an update, not from the play store, but from the Samsung update app (?)... which doesn't appear to be a selectable application. Weird. I would say try dumping the cache and deleting all data for the app in case something remained on the SD/Internal Memory

I am, just after trying to save in S Memo or trying to launch S Health. S Health did initially open and let me enter my info but then stopped when hit continue.
I'm having a similar issue with S Health. Able to enter age/weight but after that, every attempt to open the app results in a force close. I've tried deleting all data which seems to fix the situation except when I input the information again, the problem recurs.
Deleting the data for S Health and S Memo doesn't do anything for me. S memo fails when trying to save and S Health fails after entering your initial info.
bump it =.=, same happened to me.

I resolved it two nights ago, but not sure what the problem was.
I broke down and did a factory reset since that would be the next step if I brought it back. The first reset, I walked through the setup wizard and entered in my account information. It proceeded to automatically download all my apps and the problem was still there. So I reset again and skipped through the setup wizard to prevent the apps from downloading, and lo and behold s memo and heath were working. For kicks I reset again and walked through the wizard; apps downloaded again and the problem came back. I proceeded to uninstall all apps and widgets but it didn't clear the problem. That sort of jives with the problem present when booting into safe mode.
I think that since I uninstalled the apps, I lost getting the apps to automatically download. So I manually tried installing them. The best list I had was the list from using helium to back up app data. I manually downloaded 44 of 46 apps in the list. The two I didn't were a chess game and I thought v cast song id. Although I don't see the later as a choice for restoring in helium tonight. It stood out when I saw it, because I couldn't find it in "my apps" on the play store or in the play store. I think it was a pre-loaded app on my previous Droid X phone. I just started using helium with the s4, so I went to bed trying to figure out how any sign of the app would be on the s4.
I don't think the helium list was everything on my phone so the next step is to load everything in "my apps" in the play store.

S health is now working for me but I haven't had a chance to play much with it. I initially used Kies to backup; but after taking 5 hours to restore, I learned the layout of apps and widgets on various pages is lost. Hence my switch to Helium.
Be mindful when removing bloat. S Memo requires the snote provider apk in system. S health requires sensor and health provider in system. Removing these necessary dependencies with make these apps force close. :thumbup:
