Did your Android Market just update itself and break the My Apps function? I just noticed my Market app on my phone just made me accept the agreement again. As I remember it does this when the market app is updated. After clicking agree, the market app loaded, I click "My Apps" and just get a blank screen. Tried killing the app, then trying again, no luck. Rebooted phone, no luck. Anyone else??
for my the same thing. same problem!
Try wiping cache?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
works for me, i however lost quite some apps (they are no longer linked to the market).
fixing the market links via titanium 4.3.1 made them available as updates, but after the 'update' they were gone again.
downgrading to the old 2.x market didn't help either, oh boy
what can i do now?
I have the same problem, and I haven´t find any solution so far.
If you see, the lost apps aren´t in present in the market web version.
they came back eventually. tried to restore the market links via titanium a dozen times before that.
out of the blue they where there again.
now i flashed the new cm nightly and i got the same prob again
guess i gotta be patient.
Maybe because of a Restart?
Worked fine for me and I did notice the market change on my DroidX.
What version is your market guys? Mine is 3.1.5 and I dont have such a problem
_______________________________
Flipped to xda by my mad device.
3.1.5 too. flashed the newesst gapps, they include the 3.1.3 market, but it auto updates real fast :0
Same here, but here's something new to add
I hadn't changed anything on my 2.1.3 rooted Droid X2 when this problem popped up two days ago.
Before coming here, cleared cache, deleted data, fixed permissions, rebooted, and rebooted (and cussed profusely at great volume).
And I tried a couple of the suggestions here, but to no avail.
I uninstalled the updates and the market dropped back to 3.1.3. Then saw the error "A server error has occurred. Retry, or cancel and return to the previous screen.
My guess is that my account is hosed up in the Google Market cloud and the latest version of Market doesn't provide error feedback.
So still sitting with a blank My Apps screen. And of course, Google Android Support has Jack Sheisse to say about it to anyone.
I have exactly the same problem; 'my apps' just brings up the server error. Tried everything, but to no avail. I can still download new apps though!
My logcat shows this:
""[24] BaseAction.run(): ApiException: com.android.vending.api.ApiException: Error from backend. Request=com.android.vending.model.AssetRequest, Response=INTERNAL_SERVICE_ERROR
I/vending (16292): [1] BaseAction.displayErrorUi(): Server error in com.android.vending.MyDownloadsActivity$MyDownload sLoader: com.android.vending.api.ApiException: Error from backend. Request=com.android.vending.model.AssetRequest, Response=INTERNAL_SERVICE_ERROR""
For me, the answer to my original problem was that I have more than one Google account configured on my phone.
For some odd reason, having multiple accounts on my phone causes the market to get confused constantly as to which account it should default to. Since one account is only on my phone for gmail purposes, there are no market apps attached to it. When the market defaults to the Gmail only account, none of my apps show up. When I manually go into the Market settings on my phone and change the account it's using to the correct account, all my apps come back.
As of now, I have not found any way to tell the Market which Google account should be the default account. So, still living with this. I just check which account it's using before doing anything in the Market App. Huge pain in the Arse..
I have the same problem with new Market. When I click My Apps this is what I get: Applications and games owned by this account will appear here.
If you also have problems please report it to Google here so they can fix it.
FIXED!
Ignore.
(thought it was fixed, but it's not...)
My apps blank
I also got the problem with blank my apps and now i fixed it for me, maybe its the same for some others. The problem was one app (can be more), in my case teeter (htc sense game). So i backuped all my apps with Titanium Backup, then uninstall all with TB. Set delete market link when uninstall app in TB settings. Clear Market cache/data. Open Market go to my apps, go back and again to my apps. Now it works for me again. So i restored 10 apps, cleared cache/data from Market and looked into my apps. I did this restor in 10 apps steps and cleared Market data till i found the app that broke the market.
My Apps Brings Up Server Error Message
It doesn't seem to have to do with anything under our control, and google is typically silent about it. I think the only thing to do is wait and meanwhile I am using appbrain which is better than market anyway. If anybody does find a solution, and I am wrong about all this, please post it. This is really annoying and frustrating.
I'm too having same issue
I also get the same " applications and games owned by this account will appear here" after the update when I go to my Apps. I have two gmail accounts, and the problem is in my main account.. my secondery account have 2 apps installed, and have no problem displaying them...
I've tried all of the above solutions like clearing cache, data...
Strangely I have another phone with the same accounts setup and it works fine...
Same is issue here - Droid Bionic
"Applications and games owned by this account will appear here"
Same is issue
So after a few months a flashing I have a problem (not a big one but a bit irritating). I have a bunch of app's and know some of them don't get recognized by the Android Market. I tried forcing them with titanium backup but it didn't work.
I could go by each app one by one and checking if I have them on Market, if not I can delete and re-download. Any advice? I really have a lot of app's so I hope there is a simple solution

You're missing some information here. Which ROM do you use? Which apps? (Give examples). Do they show up in the market but say incompatible or do they not show at all? Which version of market do you use? What do you mean "Forcing" with titanium? As in fix market links? Uninstall and reinstall with titanium?
All I can say is if you use a different DPI setting than stock, some apps will not show up on the market or say they're outright incompatible. But there's too much info missing to say anything more...
I'm on CM nightly #116. Also I have Siyah kernel 2.0
As an example I always had Angry Birds, Angry Birds RIO and Angry Birds Seasons. Under "My App's" in the Android Market only the original Angry Birds was there. However if I went to Angry Birds RIO on the Android Market it would show that it is on my phone because I could update it or delete it. But it was never under "My App's". And another example is an App named Fontomizer SP. It wasn't under "My app's" But when I searched for it on the Android Market I could open or delete it.
The problem is that when it tries to autoupdate app's it skips those app's (and many others).
Just clear the Market data under 'Manage applications' and reboot your phone.
When you restart Market it will show the Market agreement again, but all your apps should now appear under 'My Apps'.
Didn't work. I wiped data just like you said. Accepted terms and conditions. But still same problem. I don't get it, it must be some kind of information that is linked with my google account. App's show up installed when I search for them. But under "My App's" there not there. Only deleting and re-installing seems to work. But that will take so long. Maybe I can try to clear data that has been saved to servers when I log in on Market on PC
Hmmm... do you have Market updates installed?
If so try uninstalling them (the 'Uninstall updates' button will be enabled) as well as clearing the data.
If not then I have no idea...
Hello.
I have a weird problem and don't think I have seen it reported on the forum: my apps are correctly listed in my phone's app list, but when I open the Market app and select the My Apps list, some of them are missing.
Ok, now some additional (useful) details: I'm running stock Gingerbread 2.3.3, rooted, secondary partition and Link2SD. The apps which are missing from the list are (usually ... to lazy to check all of them) the ones which I moved/linked with Link2SD.
How can I get the Market app to show the complete list again (I'm an update freak...)? I tried forceclosing the Market, cleared the cache, restarted my phone. On very few occasions restarting apparently fixes this issue.
I know there's an app which manages you app list and tells you which apps have updates available, but I can't remember it's name and also couldn't find it in the Market.
As a funny "but wait, there's more!", the YouTube app works great but is listed in My Apps as "Not Installed".
Again, what should I do to get the entire list in the Market app?
Well, you got that apps missing after the move with link2sd or they were missing anyway? In the second case the best fix is to get them again from the market and install it when market is opened and you have internet activated so it should put them in your apps list
OK, I screwed something up and now I cannot find a way to fix nor have i found anyone who has done what I have done. So here is an interesting question/challenge. First, the back story.
I never knew that the old market (before Play) could potentially authenticate you as a different user if you have multiple gmail accounts on your phone. So, one day while in the market, I was shocked to see a ton of my applications missing from the "My Aps" list. I did not notice that it was not logged in to the market with my default user account but instead another gmail account I have on the phone.
I researched a little, very little. I knoew about the market tools in titanium backup and thought I could get them back with the option that allows you to create market links for apps that were missing them. In the back of my mind, I figured if I didn't get an app from the market, it wouldn't create the link (or if the app doesn't exist in the market). Anyway, I chose the optin to create market links for all my apps in order to fix this issue.
Then I realized I was in th market with the wrong account so I changed it back to my default account and all my apps are showing up just fine.
Here is my problem: Any paid apps I side loaded from Amazon App Store and GetJar for free now have market links. The apps won't update from the market. I get an error -"Download denied because you did not purchase this app" - On my phone the app shows up in my apps list as purchased - it does not show up on my apps list when I log in to the market (now play) from a PC and look at my apps list that way.
Sooooo, I go in to titanium backup and remove the market link for all the apps giving me the market error. I check my apps in the market and the apps appear to have been removed.
Great, problem should be solved but it is not. Sometimes, later in the day or maybe a day or two later, the issue starts up again. It's as if the deleted market link is getting recreated automatically somehow.
So as far as the market/play go, there is a list on internet with google that is correct as far as the apps I actually downloaded and purchased from the market AND a completely separate list kept on my phone that seems to trump the actual list on-line stored with my account.
Does anyone know a way to manually clear out my local cache of the market/play market links for good?
I even noticed after the fact that a market link now gets created for anything I side load if the same app is available in google play.
The last thing I tried was removing all market links and slowly adding them back one app at a time (for the ones I know I got from the market) but then the old sideloaded ones start getting their links again for no apparent reason.
Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Have you tried a factory reset?
Factory Reset

I don't want to.
Over the past few weeks (since 621 pushed to Droid Xers) I've done more factory resets and 621 sbf'ing than I ever care to do again. I lost my phone after all that and got it replaced with one from insurance that shipped to me with .605 so I just recently got root back, restored my phone with titanium backup (which seems to have restored this problem for me) got OTA rootkeeper and now I am on 621 rooted.
1. - I'm chicken. Don't want to lose root on this 621 and am afraid to factory reset it.
2. If my root is safe on 621 with a factory reset, I would have to take a full backup and use that to restore after the factory reset. This will probably end up restoring the issue again after hours of running a backup restore.
I'm a bit shell shocked over the entire 621 ordeal and am trying to find out another way to fix this issue without having to perform a factory reset and then manually installing all my apps one at a time since TTBU will probably just restore the issue again. My left eye still twitches.
I have cleared all cache as well as Davlik cache without success.
Is that the only suggestion? Is there a file I can manually edit or delete that can clear this off my phone? It is an entirely different phone than the one the issue originally popped up on. My backups seem to have preserved whatever is causing it.
-Sin
EDIT: I updated titanium backup today and came across a statement in the release notes in regards to the market doctor and links. seems Google Play is taking control over these things more on the server side and less on the device side which may or may not be crippling some of the current market link functionality in TB . At least that is how I interpreted what I read. So I went through my apps and started deleting market links again for apps I know I side loaded. So far so good. I'll report back in a week if there are no further replies or issues.
EDIT2: Seems I am not getting update notifications from the market for those side loaded apps but there is more glitchiness goodness. Almost all of my apps are showing up in the market as "not installed" but they are. Thinking I may just factory reset anyway. Just don't want to lose root although I've read I won't. Still looking for another way.
Edit3 - OK, sorry but factory wipe and reset might fix the issue and I might not lose root but I won't know what went wrong. And I need to know why this phone is glitching the way it is with the market so I dug deeper. Several things I noticed while paying attention to the phone for a long time AND viewing the logs; services were restarting over and over again. I kept getting strange JVM issue showing up in the logs and a lot of warnings and errors. I reset permissions and it changed little. Check device administrators and discovered several of my rooted apps did not have their administrator rights eneabled. So i enebaled those. I also noticed my Bakup Assistant stopped working and would not accept my PIN no matter how much verizon tried to help or how much I used google. All solutions for clearing google play data/cache and sync data/cache ended with a force close of application manager. Very messed up.
The play store was missing most of my apps when viewed from the android app but everything seemes to be there when viewing the play store from a pc. very strange. Then I discovered a little gem I hadn't known about before. In the batch jobs for titanium backup there are two interesting options. On is to clear all cache from user and system apps, the other is to clear all data from user and system apps.
I ran both jobs, cache first then data. But I did not run it on all apps. I narrowed the selection down to google play store, google framework, sync manager (or something like that) and both backup assistant apps (app + client). Yes I like to keep stock rom, Then I went in to the google play store...
Many of my apps were still missing but a bunch did show up. I used Titanium backup to destroy all market links for all user apps then I used it again to recreate them. Then I went back t the googleplay store and that is where I am now.
Almost everything is showing up for an update. So I choose to update all.
The apps I side loaded are getting errors. BUT, the google play store appears to be destroying the market links for those apps because when I go back in to the play store, they are no longer listed but remain installed on my phone. I have about 30 more apps to go through but it appears all of this has fixed the issue combined with the new play store and the way it works with apps. I'll report back again in a few days once things settle down and I'm sure the issue is resolved or not.
EDIT4: I have 12 apps remaining with this issue - going to try this app and suggestions - aytchTeeTeePee://davesdroid.blogspot.com/2012/03/android-market-issue-now-fixed-for-me.html
Probably won't be back here for a few hours, I'll let ya'll know how this turns out later.
Edit5: I lost track of which threads I was responding to, thought I put this here but had to copy paste from another thread -
Well, I ran that market fixer app twice. the first time it found 47 bad market links. Most of them look like apps that are no longer available in the market for what ever reason and the rest were some side loaded apps that don't exist in the market. so I cleared all those out.
I ran it a second time and it didn't find any bad links so i had it scan all links. i manually selected the 12 apps that were side loaded and still asking for updates in the market that it won't allow me to get. After removing those 12 links with this app, i no longer seem to have the issue. all my market apps are up to date and the proper ones are showing as installed, no more invalid market links.
I don't think this app alone fixed my issue. I found a lot of issues on my phone (read entire first reply from me above with all the edits).
The last few things I did was to remove and reinstall Launcher Pro (from the market/play store) since I don't do roms and don't like default blur. My phone is now snappier than it has ever been, seriously never ran as fast as it does now.
I've been using setcpu for a while and recently started adjusting my vm heap size but both were unstable before today. finally got the fastest vm heap size figured out (40m) also. I'm due for upgrade in may but am holding on to that upgrade until (hopefully) the galaxy Note comes to Verizon as the journal or whatever. so I'm really happy to have a my phone working again and working pretty fast also. I can't tell you how many performance issues it's had over the past few weeks that all started when i did a complete app restore from titanium backup and shortly after upgraded to .621 with OTa rootkeeper. I've had this phone for 2 years (since froyo) and have taken all OTA's and pulled all the tricks to retain or regain root so my titanium backup probably had a lot of garbage in it and restoring it to a functional phone may have screwed something up.
As much as I thought I would have had to do another wipe/factory restore, i am so glad I didn't. I've learned more about An-Droid X over the past 2 months than I have in the past 2 years of using them.
Performance comparison
I originally wanted to post this here (h-t-t-p-://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=771232) but I haven't enough posts yet for the dev forums. After fixing my above issues and talking about how snappy my phone is, I thought I'd post some numbers that may or may not help folks understand why this was pretty exciting.
Phone properties is stock 4.5.621.MB810 rooted from .605 with OTA root keeper.
Droid X
Android 2.3.4
Running at 1GHz via SetCPU plugged in profile. Nothing disabled (not in airplane mode)
No build.prop edits with default Dalvik heap size of 32m
Linpack
Single threaded - MFlops: 4.046 Time: 20.71 Norms: 5.68 Precision: 2.22
Multi-threaded - MFlops: 10.965 Time: 15.38 Normles: 3.21 Precision: inconsistent
Quadrant Standard: 1176
After much tweaking I settled on a 40m davlik heap size (stable) and I edited my build.prop minus the screen density and button light tweaks from here h-t-t-p-://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=771232 and these are my new numbers.
Linpack
Single threaded - MFlops: 16.34 Time: 5.11 Norms: 5.68 Precision: 2.22
Multi-threaded - MFlops: 15.28 Time: 11.03 Norms: 3.24 Precision: 2.22 inconsistent
Quadrant Standard: 1763
So yeah, only a few months left with this device and it's running better than ever.
EDIT1: I forgot to mention that clearing my davlik cache and clearing the cache partition brought those 12 side loaded apps back to the market. I had to rerun the market fixer app to get rid of them again but the dev noted this in the release notes so it was to be expected.
This is a fix for apps that have been purchased from Amazon or sideloaded and not able to purchase from Play Store

I don't have an issue purchasing apps from the play store. That's the strange part. Only that some of my side loaded apps were appearing in the update list on the play store. Not sure that link or the info in it has much to do with my complaint but thanks for posting it. I'll save this info for future reference if need be.

hi i don't know what u're experiencing is similar to what others users and myself are experiencing but i hope my solution helps.
first try using market doctor found within titanium backup itself. it seems to work for some people.
if it doesn't, which is in many cases, including mine, got to apps > google play store > clear cache, clear data and also remove updates.
it will make up phone go back to market but dun worry, it will be automatically be updated back to play store in awhile.
viola! apps all refreshed.
hit thanks if this helps!
Nope, nada, ziltch.

Nah, that never worked nor does it still. The best success I've had at holding off this issue for days at a time is an app called Market Fixer available in the play store. It seems to work for several days, then for no reason at all, the apps are back again.
My understanding is that this is a long standing issue on google's end.

Im on the retail.en.EU leak and i noticed the some of the apps disappeared from the app drawer, specifically play books and play movies.
When i checked titanium backup they were frozen, along with flash removal 4.0.4.
I don't really care that they're frozen since both apps are useless here in my country, I was just surprised that the apps were frozen w/out me knowing. Does Google have control over this?
Anybody else experienced this?
