that does not look good. maybe you got yourself a virus there.
you should check your installed apps for suspicious / fake ones. also have a look at the app list in titanium backup, which will also show apps, that do not show up in the app drawer.
but in general, if i were you, i would fully wipe the device, including the internal and external sd card, flash your rom again and instead of restoring apps from a backup, let them re-install from the play store (only safe ones of course).
maybe someone that can read chinese can tell you the exact contents of that notification, but i am 97% sure that it is not something good and your personal data and privacy might be at stake.
you havent at any time installed hotmail app of google play have you??
I had similar thing happen, in chinese, and after debugging the system i narrowed it down to the hotmail app, i was getting like 40 or 50 empty mssge boxes a day, once i uninstalled it, it stopped.
From the screenshot, that is advertisement in Chinese language.
I would recommended you to recall the last application that you have install to the phone, remove it and see did it help?
At the same time, both applicationa that can be found in Google Play may help to prevent similar issue happened in future. ^^

Both freeware below that you can grab from Play Store can assist to list down the installed apps by date:
AppZorter Lite for TouchWiz
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.demidoes.appzorter.lite
Easy Uninstaller
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.infolife.uninstaller
Hope this help.

Good thing you've solved the problem.
I assume you were receiving Airpush ads; and to prevent this happening in the future, and also for others who come across these, I recommend Addons Detector from the Play Market. It finds the culprit app.

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 only use one account, always. Forgot to mention
Also, the website (market.android.com) is fine and functioning, displaying all of my apps. The problem is... I can't check for updates now.

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...

Don't know if this will work as I have never had the issue, but have you tried any of the market enabler hacks / apps?
Might be worth a try?

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.
Having this issue for more than a month, nothing helps to fix it(
Does anybody can help?
Here is a theme of this bug, seems that there is no solution : droidforums.net/forum/tech-issues-bug-reports-suggestions/180412-android-market-my-apps-blank-16.html
Neither this fix doesnt work. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1019613
Tried several times, but market changes the file to initial version.
Any clue for fixing it?
If you haven't already, clear the Market app cache and updates, under settings/applications/manage apps. Do the same with Download Manager, Downloads, and Market Updater. Also try cycling the Notify for Updates option in Market settings. This happens on occasion to me as well, sometimes if fixes itself, somtimes not.
You can also try Titanium Backup's Fix Market feature, can't say if this works or not. Otherwise, you can track your app updates via AppBrain, or aTrackDog

People from the thread in the first post have flashed stock and nothing happened. I've been using CM7 when got this issue, now I run MIUI, and only few apps appeared in My apps after first rom boot, but after reboot or even earlier the list become empty again..
Seems that it is Google fault, obviously. People got this on different devices and firmwares, under different circumstances. Though they report that same account works on other devices, but nothing helps to get it work on initail device. May be google stores imei or other info about phone, but I think this is unlikely
Excuse me, I dont understand - Are You lost your market data on one device or on any device?
Are you try see it on other device with same google account? And what are the results?

Same here!!!! Market my apps list blank
hey ppl even i m facing the same issue...bt when i return back on ma stock rom it shows me da list....as soon as i restore ma apps wid titanium on a new rom da market list is again empty...oderwse da issue is not solved yet...i think itzz google'z fault!!!! anybody facing this type of prob??? or any suggestions???
same issue
I'm having the same issue, but I also can't download any apparently from the market. Market errors on download without even trying to download. Market was working fine until i switched ROM. I've switched to 4 different ROMs on my LG G2X and had same issue on all. I can't download free or paid apps.
I might have stumbled upon a fix tonight I used rom tool box to attach my apps to market then I used the fix permissions tab and bam I had apps under "my apps" which I haven't had in well over a month

I have a feeling that either google doesn't like to show largevnumber of apps(300+ at one time) or it doesn't like a specific app. Oh well, I can still update through appbrain app market.

I installed a lovely new rom (AGABEY) and went onto Play Store and noticed there was an app called MTC by OJSC Mobile Telesystems.
I understand it may be down to either Samsung or the Developer of the rom to query this but I searched and had no joy.
Has any one came across this and managed to remove it?

Me too.
This came up for me too, last night, but I'm running stock Touchwiz/gingerbread 2.3.3.
I've rooted and unlocked my phone and have Clockworkmod but that's it.
Phone is a gt-i9100m running KG2. Carrier is Virgin Canada.
I'm more concerned about why this is came up. The app of course wants every permission in the book. Has my carrier, or phone, been compromised?
I'm super paranoid about giving Superuser. The only app with an automatic Accept is Terminal Emulator. So it's not some rogue root usage causing this.
Turns out this is a bug in the market, where carrier-provided apps on your phone will confuse the market into thinking they are a different, existing Market application.
Unsure whether doing this update would replace the carrier-provided app, whichever it is, with this strange Russian one..
Google "Karoges" for more details on a similar issue, where a test app shows up in place of the stock Samsung video player.
Regardless of whether this is harmless or a potential vector for attack, it needs to be resolved on Google Play's end. I submitted a Bug feedback, please do the same if you come across this!

I noticed that test app aswell. I tried a few apps with freezing. (Rom Toolbox) but that didn't display it. I will give Titanium a go but I have a feeling it won't display the two apps (Unless you have had success then thank you!).
Only time you really notice it is when your on the new Google Play with the two options in "My Apps". "Installed" and "All".
I have not seen it since 2.3.3 but then again i have no stock rom since then .
Is it actually on your phone if so it should be locatable on a rooted phone .

I deleted the 'AP mobile' App but this is still in my apps list waiting for an update. Its strange that I couldn't see this in my installed apps list from the Google Play Store, but an update is waiting.
The only app from OJSC Mobile Telesystems in the app store is their MTS Voicemail+ app, which is russian language only. May be the default voicemail app on my phone is bugged.
Update:
It doesnt install even if you download.
This has just turned up on my GS2 (Tmobile UK) , I can't get rid of it and I'm not rooted . Would appreciate some help in getting rid of this, as I think it is a virus.
It has appeared in my updates too, seems a lot of people have it turning up in the google play store to be updated. I just flagged it also!

Freezing the social hub (rather than removing it) seems to be good enough to persuade the unwanted app to disappear from Google Play.
I presume this is popping up because we've installed an Eastern European ROM

Hello everyone, I've got a question. Sometimes while searching on google I find a forum post (usually about Android or something like that) and I click on it, and it loads up a porn website ad! I have to go back and then click the link again! I have no idea how this is happening.
I don't download any warez on my phone, all my apps are off the market.
It's independent of the browser. I've used Opera, firefox, and chrome.
I thought "OK, maybe I have downloaded SOMETHING incorrectly!" so I flashed my device and EVERYTHING is stock and ALL the apps are reloaded by themselves from the Play Store restore feature upon turning on the device.
I clicked a link that went to androidforums.com and I my device automatically started downloading an APK! It was called "hotvideos-rm-rp1.apk" and I thought WHAT IN THE WORLD IS HAPPENING!
What can I do to stop this? This is absurd! I've never used my phone to look at any porn! I don't have any warez or cracked apps or anything like that.
Can anyone help me? This is starting to bother me deeply.
I'm on a Galaxy Note 4.0.4 stock configuration.
Thank you SO much in advance!
hi, check exactly what apps are being restored by playstore, add adblock or simliar if possible, backup pictures,vidoes,music, contacts etc from sdcard and then format sdcard..........btw i`m not talking from experience, i`m just suggesting some steps to follow......hope it solves your problem
I suggest you download adsfree from market to stop those anoying porn ads, adsfree require root. Another way is using and airpush to detect which are bad ads apps and uninstall them all. Hope that help.

Hi, thanks for your reply. I knew all the apps that were installed, I guess one of them must be buggy. I had backed up my stuff and just reflashed my device and including the SD card, and just resyncing some information over (of course all google information) and then no pictures or videos. I just started anew. It still happened. Thanks though.

I don't have root,but I tried the app Airpush and it didn't find anything. But I did uninstall 5 or 6 apps yesterday before installing Airpush to see if I had any bad apps. I guess it's possible the app isn't installed anymore. But I haven't done much browsing of the web to see if the issue is remedied. Hopefully it is.
Thanks for your advice. I'll report back with the apps I've uninstalled if it turns out to be one of them that was the problem. I've got a 3 hour bus ride today to another city and I'm going to using my phone a lot to browse! Thanks again .
I'll try to keep this brief.
My wife and I both have stock standard HTC Aria's running Android 2.2. A few days ago my wife complained that her battery was discharging really fast. Then a day later mine started doing the same thing.Going flat in a few hours of standby. Normally at the end of the day they would both still have 8 out or ten bars still lit. I turned off wifi, mobile and bluetooth on both phones and that seemed to fix the battery problem.
Now when I turn on wifi or 3g I cant connect at all. My wifi router shows up in settings but it constantly is scanning-connecting-disconnecting. Also cant connect to 3g.
I have tried another sim card but the problem is the same.
As I said, these phone aren't rooted in any way. Have very few apps. Basically used as a phone.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Maybe you can try a new battery. Or, if you still have warranty, give it back to service.

You can try a factory reset as a last resort

Thanks dansou but the problem is not the battery. I believe the power was draining because an app was trying , constantly, to access the wifi which will not connect.

Thanks aster. I was hoping for a fix before doing a factory reset but I might have to resort to that.

If so, make a logcat, so we can try to track down which app is responsable for the problem...

Just did a factory reset and everything seems ok.
Just one other problem: When I log in to google play it is showing that I have 2 apps installed (airdroid and astro) These are no longer on my phone but google doesn't want to believe that. I've tried to trash them and tried installing them but nothing happens. It just says "These apps will be un/installed shortly"
Any thoughts?
Thanks

You may have already tried this, but maybe a reboot would do the trick. If rebooting doesn't help, you can use a file manager to take a look into Data>Apps or System>Apps and see if you can find their .apk files there and delete them. If you aren't rooted, you won't be able to delete them, and I'm not sure what you should do if that happens. If they aren't there, then it's probably just a graphical glitch and is showing what really isn't there.
EDIT: Sorry, I read your post wrong. Go into the app details of Google Play Store and select both clear data and clear cache, and that should solve the problem. If not, try rebooting.

Hi aster.
I'm going to sound like a real noob here but where exactly do I find the options for clear data and clear cache? I've attached a screenshot of my google play screen.
Thanks

Oh my bad, I wasn't really clear about that. It's actually in your phone settings, not the settings in the Play Store.
So you open up Play Store in 'Manage Applications' as if you were trying to uninstall it. In that menu, you'll see options like Force Stop/Disable. Scroll down, and you'll see the 'Clear data' and 'Clear cache' options, and there ya go. I hope I explained it well.

Unfortunately I don't have Play Store in my applications. In the screen shot I attached you can see Google Play Services showing as installed. That is another one of the apps showing as installed that are not actually on the phone.

If it's showing that only on the website, you shouldn't have to worry about it... It does that
It's probably showing them for the "old" one, before you did a factory reset

Oh I see now. I'm sorry, I thought you were saying that the phone was showing it.
Like WinSuk said, I don't see the problem if it's only showing it on the website. It could be showing what's installed on your wife's Aria if you two are sharing an account.

Sorry, I'm getting a bit confused here.
The apps that I mentioned; Airdroid, Astro, google play etc are showing as being installed on the google play web site. These apps are no longer on my phone after I did the factory reset. Therefore I have no way to reinstall the apps as google play is telling me they are already installed.
Is there another way to do this? Can I dl the apk files from somewhere else and install them manually?
Thanks again for all your help

You don't have the Play Store installed on your phone? If that's the case, you need to search up on google to find the apk file for it. Once you do that, you should be able to install the other apps you've mentioned.
Sorry if I misunderstood you again. I'm getting pretty confused here also.

Update:
I managed to install airdroid and Astro through Android Market app (was that the precursor to play store?)
Now when I log in to google play it shows those two apps as installed. Everything else is showing in "other apps in my library" waiting to be installed. I think I'll leave it at that. My airdroid is working again :good:
Thanks for every ones help.

Yep, the Android Market was renamed to the Google Play Store.
It'll eventually update automatically on your phone and change back to the Play Store
