First of all, my Photon is rooted and I used a couple of the updates from the photon android development forums.
It is getting to where there are just too many market apps that I can not download. Some come up as not compatable (while I'm 100% sure they are compatable) and others just straight up don't show. It gets real interesting when I go to the android market on the web and try to get the apps.
The android market thinks that I have 2 Moto photons. One of the 2 photons, it will in fact allow me to send some of these incompatable apps to and the one that google SEES me on is "not compatable". I guess the market thinks my phone became a new phone when I did one of the updates. But yet this new photon is not compatable with many apps.
I was using my Acer Iconia tab to help me get some of these apps to my Photon, especially some of the ones I purchased. But now, I have 2 Iconia tabs too (even though the second one is again, the same device.)
Is there anything I can do? I loved Android since the day it came out. But it's getting to where I almost don't want it. I need an outlet to get apps but I don't want to ask people to upload apks. I know about the amazon market but not every app is there.
Is this a brand based problem? Cause though I love the Photon, I would switch in a minute if this wasn't the case. But it's also happening on my Iconia tab and it's happening more and more and one thing I just won't do is start asking if anyone has apks.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
OK, this will take me a minute (if you want a real explantion, or just skip to bottom where I talk about App Brain). I am sorta like you, I'm well over 100 Apps and use SPB 3D Shell to keep them orgainzed.

I use my phones and like to keep them tight. I had and Evo and co-worker turned me on to App Brain.When I got Photon, I was in your position. I went to Market and more or less, installed everything I got individually.
You Sync App Brain, and when you get new phone, like I just did, tell it to put it all back (You still have to go to SPB 3D Shell and orgainze it, but it give you a start!)
Want more protection? Root it and get Titaniaum Backup, paid version!!! Backup all your crap each monday at 3:00AM (you know my schedule now), hook the phone up to computer as HD and move backup to your computer or USB drive (its not small!). If something ever happens to your phone, get titaniaum from market and use THAT backup to restore. The good thing about the paid version, not only will it put your app's back, it puts them back with the last configuration!!! Done!!!
Thank you for responding. But I do not believe that this helps. I already use Titanium Backup of course. But App Brain is just a market browser that still ultimately takes you to the market to download apps does it not? And the market will still list them as incompatable.
This is not going to let me download new versions of, for example, Swiftkey X, LCD Density, and even the ChaCha app. I would have to go find a friend who has a phone that's listed as compatible (even though the Photon IS compatible) and then back it up and transfer it. This makes for licensing problems for apps that I have purchased and I'm certain are compatable.
Because I can get many apps but there are many that I can not get, there is something that many developers do that apparently makes it compable with SOME Motorola Photons as far as the market goes. This is why I could easily download Titanium Backup but I can not download SwiftKey X which I paid for even though it IS compatable.
Can anybody help? I need a way to get apps that are compatible to the photon like swiftkey x onto my photon and the ability to keep them UPDATED. What I do not want is a way to keep them backed up, I already have that. I will switch phone brands if I need to but I absolutely require a phone or a fix for this phone on which this problem does not exist. Otherwise, it's useless to me as apps are updated often sometimes and I want those updates without running onto the net and asking people to please post an apk. Please reply if you have a solution. I am going to scream if I see that banner that says this app is not compatable with your phone again when market.android.com will send it to my older photon (which does not exist by the way. The market just recognizes my photon as a second photon after an update I did from the developer forums). Grrr, don't even want my photon now that the droid razor is out.
have you tried going into manage applications and clearing the data and cache from market. I had some problems with apps that were bought on both amazon and google and this allowed the apps to update from google.
Yes. I have cleared data from the market under manage applications. This does not do it. There are still apps that the android market refuses to let me install. Any such apps do not have an install or download button. Instead, there is just that banner on the very top that says "Your device is not compatible with this item." for many apps ever since I installed one of the updates and since then, I have 2 Photons listed when I look online. One of them, the android market will send these "incompatible apps" to and the other, it won't. Unfortunately, the device that android market will send the apps to is the same device as the one that the market sees as incompatible. It's like after one of the updates, the market reregistered my phone as a different phone. Same thing happened with my Iconia tab.
Does anybody have any ideas?

You try going online and deleting the phones from your google account then log back into the app market and download a simple app so it can register
I've tried. As far as I know, you can't delete devices from your account on the market. You can only hide them from showing up on the menus. But yes, I've done that. It doesn't help.
never mind, i see now'
So is there anything that can be done?
First of all what ROM are you on, what mods(build.prop), and have you wiped google services data?

Oh thank you thank you thank you! (and thank clicked as well!) It was awesome of you to find that. Just to reiterate in case somebody else finds themselves having the same problem, to reiterate so it might come up in a google search for someone:
If you have a Motorola Photon (or many other phones), and over time, you notice that something isn't right with the market and some apps that you always ran are suddenly not compatible any more and perhaps the Android market sees you having several phones, if you changed your screen density with a program such as LCD Density Changer, the android market now will see you coming in with a different phone. For example, according to the Android market, I have a Moto Photon with a density of 240 and a Moto Photon with a density of 280. Perhaps because of the criteria that some app makers chose, some of their apps (like Messagease for instance) may be compatible with a Photon with a density of 240 but not a Photon with the density of 280 (even though they do in fact work just fine).
So, the solution is this. Change your density if you like. But, to get those programs that may become "incompatible", switch the density back to the way that it was out of the box.
Thank you very much for finding this information! It helped a lot!
Glad to help

I am trying to figure out the best way to transfer apps from my rooted Captivate to the Atrix. Titanium backup would be the natural choice, but it only works on a rooted phone which the Atrix isn't, at least for now. I could go to the android web page https://market.android.com/ and tell it to download each app separately. But I am wondering if there is a non rooted backup/restore app that will let me selectively backup/restore?? I say selectively because I do not want to restore those apps that require a rooted phone.
Then there is the question of the market place which saves your downloaded app list linked to your gmail account. I do not want market place to remember those apps I don't want on the Atrix. So the question is how do you instruct the market place to "forget" installed apps? The only way I know of would be to install ALL the apps via either a backup program or thru the web client, then de-install those from the phone I don't want which would then wipe them out from market place account so they will not keep re-appearing in my app list.
I should have my Atrix in my hands this Monday!
I would too like to know this. Thanks to anyone who knows the answer!
Try AppMonster.....there's a pro version as well
I would suggest App Brain personally...That's what I've been using during my time with my EVO.

Actually, AppBrain and all those "add-on Markets" won't work with the Atrix out of the box. AT&T disallowed sideloading and that counts apps like that.
On the plus side, the Atrix has already been rooted (read the first topic in the Dev section of the Atrix forum)...so it lets you do anything you want.
Check the Atrix dev sub forum - They have root!

GREAT
OK looks like we are going to have our Atrix rooted and Titanium backup working but there is still the problem of the market links. There is some reference to market links in Titanium backup but not sure if that works to enable updates and there's still the issue of un-installed not wanted apps getting unregistered with market place. I had lost some apps and reinstalled with Titanium backup and I am not sure if I regained the market links or not. I am certainly not complaining and expect to spend many hours setting up the phone...thats part of the fun. Until a solution appears the best way to handle this may be to install the apps separately from the market place or via the web. I will try other programs others have suggested and post a solution here if found.
You can still sideload via ADB - so if you have the APK file it is simple to side load many.
How do you extract your own apk's? Been wondering this for a while now

App brain only side loads? I though by synching my account, it would allow me to re download all applications from the market that is how it checks for upgrades anyway.
I use.app brain to actually check for updates to apparently o had installed through Titanium, apparently that do NOT have market links.
Captivate 2.2.1 Paragon
MyAppList
The free program MyAppList will make a text file of all the apps installed on your phone. I am going to un-install any apps i do not want installed on the Atrix. Then print out MyAppList. Then go to the market place on my Captivate and goto "my apps" so that the market updates what I do and do not have on the phone. When the Atrix arrives, I will register with my same email. Then on the Atrix i will go to the market place so it will update the installed list. Then I will go market place on the PC and install all of my listed apps, checking off each one on MyAppList as I go. The advantages are I will be sure to get all the apps, there will be no question as to what is or is not installed, the Atrix will automatically install the apps and the apps will get updates thru the market. I have 397 apps installed on the phone, maybe 225 of them are 3rd party apps so it may take a couple of hours to download and install them all but since the Atrix runs so quickly it may go a lot faster.
My Captivate is maxed out. I have a lot of widgets running and am constantly running out of memory. And then there is the lag problem which gets worse when you are running out of memory. With 1 gig of ram there is plently of memory with room to spare. This is going to be a very welcomed upgrade.
I am wondering exactly when the phones will arrive at the AT&T store. Are there Sunday deliveries? Monday is Presidents Day. I am going to the store tomorrow (Sunday) to see if they arrived and see if they will give it to me.....
I've looked all over for an answer to this, but I can't seem to come up with one. I've loaded Vegan 5.1 on my new GTablet and everything is working the way that I want it to. I've run into one problem... my tablet doesn't show all the apps in the market. The best example of this will be with "Stupid Zombies." If I search for that on my HTC Incredible, I get two results "Stupid Zombies" and "Stupid Zombies Adventurous." If I search for it on my Tablet, I only get the latter. I can search for Facebook and get "Facebook for Android" in the first three hits on my phone, but the tablet shows the list with that single app removed. Am I missing something? I've started going on a hunt for common apks that I have on my phone that I want on my Tablet, but I don't like that as the solution. Can someone assist?

Hi,
As the poster above mentioned search for "market fix" in these forums.
Actually, I thought that Vegan comes with some of the tweaks (fingerprint change) for market, but I think that the bottom line is that you'll find that (1) no one really knows what a "full market" would be (i.e., how would you know how many apps you don't see?) and (2) you probably, as far as I know, won't find one set of fixes that will allow you to see "all" of the apps in market, at the same time.
I've said it before in other threads, as far as I know, it's not 100% clear (technically) what criteria Google's market uses to determine what apps to show or not show, so without that knowledge, it's difficult to determine how to get around that.
Jim
Ah, I tried that before, but I couldn't find the google services framework. In retrospect, I think that I was trying to achieve it before logging in with my account. That got it all up and running. Thanks guys.
I've had a G tablet for a few months.... There are still certain apps that show up and pop away with the market fixes.
For instance, when I loaded my first rom, before I did the market fix, I could see WeatherBug and Wells Fargo Mobile in the market.....but hardly anything else. I loaded the two apps I just mentioned and then did the market fix. TONS of other apps showed up...ADW, Playon....all the normal stuff I'd expect to see....but No WF for WB.
I've tried 100 different ways to to them to show up, but no matter what Order I do things in....all the way from nvflash to reload and market fix, when I consider my market "fixed", just meaning that almost everything I search for is there, still no wells fargo or weatherbug.
The new Amazon app store helped with that alot. Now things that don't show up in the market, I can usually find on amazon apps.
The two programs I mentioned I've never been able to find in some of the newer ROMS...veganGB, the newest TNTs...

Exactly this. A fresh install of Vegan 5.1.1 and my purchased apps is missing a few (namely mlb11, launcher pro). If I do the market fix I am able to see mlb11 and launcher pro but a couple of apps that were listed before are gone (WII Controller IME, Gravitron live background are examples)
I am able to backup the apk's with titanium backup on my phone and install on my tablet so far when I need to.
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,

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!

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!?

Anybody, yet?
Hey guys,
anybody ever faced such a problem?

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.

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....

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.

I travel a lot, but I want to access the US Android Market, Pay in USD, etc.
There are a lot of apps I can find on other android devices in have without issue, but don't come up on my SII or when I do find them I'm told my phone is from the wrong Country!? Google Voice not loading seems almost insulting.
I guess I can backup and restore from one device to another, but I'm thinking I'm just missing something. Why would Google make users life this hard over something so basic?
At this point I'm ready to format the phone and rebuild it, or whatever it takes to set it up as a US domiciled phone. How can I do this?
I tried flashing a new ROM, but it remembered everything afterwards.
Try the Market Enabler app. It allows you to spoof different phone models and locations.

The above posts both provide a workaround/partial solution. Here is my suggestion...
If you choose to try Old Market, when you launch it you can choose "old" or "new" market. It requires root permissions to work. After selecting which Market you would like, it will reboot the device and, once it is booted, the market you chose will be installed. Take note that I did in fact still see some free apps that weren't installed, but not all of them. Perhaps they were only the apps that were downloaded to this specific device/ROM.
That said, the "old" Market is indeed the very old V2 Market. I went back to "new" Market (V3), and it upgraded itself back to Google Play after a little while.
Unless you truly like the old interface of the Market, I'd recommend you go with CosmicDan's suggestion of logging in to Google Wallet and viewing your transaction history. This will give you a list of only the apps you have purchased. Unfortunately you can not install them to your device from there, but at least you can see only the apps you have purchased without seeing every app you have ever downloaded.
--- Original Post ---
Is there a way to view only one's purchased apps in the new Play Store? The new interface for the My Apps section does not seem to have a way to do this like it used to, instead showing seemingly every app one has ever downloaded, with purchased apps mixed in (in no logical order).

Big time bump on this! They really do need to add a tab that shows purchased not just installed and history.
Just ran across this. Hope there is a fix in the works. Not being able to sort the apps is a major FAIL.
I let my son have my old droid and he went crazy downloading what looks like every free app offered....my mistake for not creating a junk gmail account. Now I have literally hundreds and hundreds of apps listed in my app section of the play store.
Bump, I would like to know also
It appears that even the app management section of the Google Play website doesn't have this capability. On the positive side, the site looks great! -_-
This is just wrong, when you've bought allot of apps and downloaded plenty of free apps.
There's got to be an easier way to see what you've bought and redownload!
Someone got a clue?

This is such a fkn annoying issue. BUMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The other thing is there should be a tab to multi select app installs so you aren't directed to the install screen and forced to start from the beginning of the main screen after you go back. If that is not an option at least add the ability to install "ALL" paid apps.
Why in the hell would we not get the option to see purchased apps only but we get the option to see "ALL" downloaded apps paid or unpaid. That's just fkn ridiculous
P.S. To anyone that is going to tell me to roll back or move previous apk versions to system/app or even use an app to do it for you and blah blah blah. I have tried everything.
The closest I got was using the apk I will attach for everyone here. Be sure to unzip it and move the file to your phone and use a file explorer to install it.

Here is the file. Be sure to click on old market when you have it open, if you don't like it click on new market. Pretty straight forward. HOWEVER.

so I should be able to choose which market I want to use on the fly when I install this apk?
This has got to be one of google's biggest recent FAILS.
It's been like this for over a month now, and what seems like a very simple and basic fix hasn't even arrived yet. Do you all think they are even aware of this being an issue for us?
My suggestion...

Please see the updated OP for my suggestion, as well as the answer to your question.
Think this will ever be resolved? this is beyond annoying. Do you think Google is even listening? Lol

Not likely any time soon in my opinion. I'm quite positive that they knowingly made the decision to change (read remove) the list of only paid apps in the Play Store, in an effort to "improve" the app. Unfortunately.

Another Google Fail just like the crappy resolution contact pictures that they refuse to fix. Thanks google for making have to make duplicate phone contacts and link everything. Also thank you for getting rid of showing only the paid apps.
Google has always been a piece of.. garbage, but as of late, they have just been, a piece of... junk..
Well, I do not think Google forgot to have that view. From their point of view it absolutely makes sense:
If you forget about an app you bought some day, you might end up buying another one, providing the same functionality later. And that is where they get money from, not you re-installing an already bought app.
It does not go too well with the "don't be evil" motto, but this was clearly a deliberate choice by Google.
There's still the Legacy Play Store from some MoDaCo user: http://www.modaco.com/topic/356009-r2-legacy-play-store-with-all-purchased-apps-visible/ .

I was aware of that, but it does not launch. Instead it immediately upgrades to Play Store as well.

The r2 works fine for me. I've put it to /system/app … I had to delete the app data to make it run again after a reboot, though.
