Amazon App Store
I have been using the Amazon App store on my Gtablet since it first opened. Apps worked great. Recently all of my apps disappeared from the App store. I can no longer get updates. I contacted Amazon and was told on 3 seperate occasions that Amazon had a new filter in place to filter out Apps that the developer said did not work on your device. Well that is a lie. They filtered out all but about 8 apps that I bought. 40+ apps that worked perfectly like Angry Birds and Cut the Rope. What I suspect is that Amazon Filtered every device the developer did not know about. What developer can certify every single android device. The answer is none.
Has everyone else found this to be an issue? Has anyone determined a way to fool amazon into thinking you have a different tablet that amazon things runs most apps? I am not running a custom rom and see no need to but if it it fixes Amazon App store I am open to the issue. I was kind of waiting for a stable Honeycomb (preferably from Viewsonic).
Amazon did give me a credit for the Apps I have purchaced and all the apps I have purchaced are still on my device and work so my only real complaint with Amazon is "How can anyone ever trust them again".
I ran into the same problem on my stock Gtab (build 3588). So far, I've been successful at sideloading several missing "purchased" Amazon apps to the Gtab via my G2 using Titanium Backup. Obviously this is not a preferred long-term solution.
My next step is to try a new build.prop file as noted in thread 861044.
For reference, here's my current Amazon appstore count of "My Apps/All" on three different devices:
T-mo G2: 62
G Tablet: 8
T-mo TP2: 61
The Touch Pro 2 is running Project Android with an uncharged Italian prepaid SIM card, and for some reason, the only app missing is Age of Zombies (which for the most part, works fine on Gtab via sideload).
Amazon only half prevented
I have since found that while you cannot go to my apps and update them you can find the app in the store and it will indicate it needs to be updated. When you select update nothing happens. when you close down and start the store back up it installs the app.
I have also found that you can still buy apps even though you can never update them.
I also have about 60+ apps purchaced and only 8 that show up on my gtablet. The issue I have is I do not have another Android device.
This happened to me as well. I contacted amazon, but they were of no help. So I took what I know, and others experience with different apps and found the solution.
Go to settings, applications. Find Amazon app market, and wipe data and cache. Open the market back up, log in (you'll need to re-enter username and password) and tada your apps have returned.
edit:
another solutions would be to uninstall, and re-install the app market.
Yesterday morning, after downloading the free app of the day, I checked "my apps" and it said that I had only 11 new apps. When I selected "all" I saw 14 apps. After wiping data and cache, I now have 74 "new apps" and 115 "all" apps.
I described the problem to Amazon 2 times, and I still don't think they understood what I was saying. I tried telling them that I had an app (Grisly Manor) installed on my tablet, that I had downloaded for free from them. In the Amazon app, it no longer appeared in any of my lists. On the web version, it shows up as being "purchased" I have a receipt and all...but it no longer shows on my Amazon App interface.
each time they instructed me on how to open an app, or how to open the "all" page in "my apps."
They are morons, I'm just glad I figured it out on my own.
Worked great
I talked to Amazon a number of times and even more than that. Amazon told me that they had corrected their compatibility filter to only allow apps that were compatible with my device. They said incompatible devices were given to them from the developers. I told them that was a load of .... and there was no way developers verified every single device to say if it worked or not. I suspected that if what they said was true they were only allowing devices that the developer said worked and ours is probably long forgotten.
Some kind of corruption issue is a much better answer.
Thanks a lot.

Didn't work from me.
Clear cash and data, still no previously installed apps showing.
Uninstalled and re-downloaded and installed, still no apps.
Running stock 3558 with enhancements.
Is anyone else having a problem with Amazon App Store.
I still cannot find any apps compatible with Gtab.
Clearing Cache and Data fixed the issue for me
I am running the stock rom with all updates from viewsonic. When I cleared the data and cache in the Appstore all of my apps returned. It went from 8 to over 80.
It never prevented me from buying apps just seeing them in my apps and updating them. I have never had any issue with finding apps to buy including the free app of the day.
I've just looked at my apps list in the play store and there is loads of my installed apps missing they are installed on my phone but not showing up in the list. Could someone please tell me where they have gone and how to get them back.

This has happened to me as well. I think I started after Google Play was updated to version 4.3.11.
I have like 120 apps installed. The "Installed" tab under "My apps" now says I've got 9: Barcode Scanner, GTasks Key, K-9 Mail, Official XBMC Remote, Pure Calendar, Pure Grid Calendar, Soundhound, Superuser and USSD/MMI Fix. If I flip to the "All" tab, all my apps are still there. From there I can view information about the apps, but those that are not among those 9 will say that they're not compatible with my device.
My device is a rooted HTC Desire Z (called G2/Vision in North America), with some "EliteMod" 4.0.4 ROM - which have been working perfectly for well over a year. I was thinking it was some kind of Apple-style scam by Google to force users of old, rooted devices to upgrade.. xD
When trying (and failing) to figure out how to tell a living person at Google that 90 % of my installed apps and probably 99 % of the apps in Play Store are missing, I discovered the following added comment here:
"We’ve heard of some users suddenly missing apps under the My Apps section of the Google Play Store app. This is a known issue that we are currently investigating, and updates can be found on our Known Issues page."
I found no updates on it on the "Known issues" page, though.
I have the same problem
Hey guys,
I have the same problem after updating Play Store to 4.3.11. My installed apps went missing, I am not able to search for any apps on Play Store, app in all apps tab arent available in my country anymore (all these apps were available in my country before the update) play.google.com does not show my device, well its really frustrating. I wonder when google will fix this problem. I guess its something to do with their framework services.

I've fixed it today, I'm not exactly sure how, as I tried a dozen different things I read online. Including uninstalling Adfree, removing hosts-file, clearing app-data for some Google Service-apps, flashing gapps one more time, etc.
But what I did just before it started working again, was to remove my Google account (the one used on Play Store, you can remove it from "Accounts/Synchronization" under Settings), restart the device, and then re-add the account again (in "Accounts/Synchronization"-settings). Then everything became as perfect as it was.

Thanks trollsperm. I will try that today. BTW, I have observed one more thing. The playstore works just fine after a new flash on Wi-Fi, but it goes back to the no working state as soon as I switch from Wi-Fi to Mobile Network. Have you encountered that?
I have tried your suggestion of deleting the account and re-add the account. This was the outcome
1.The play store started working fine and app sync was flawless. This was on Wi-Fi
2. I switched to the mobile internet and the play store worked fine until I rebooted the phone. The play store stopped working and apps were missing after the reboot with the mobile network on.
3. I then cleared the play store cache and data and switched on WiFi. Opened play store and voila the play store worked normally.
4. I did the same process on the mobile network but it didn't work out.
I guess the Google location services are kinda screwed up on the mobile network and not on WiFi.

Then I'm afraid your issue is different than mine. For me, the result have always been the same, whether or not I'm on Wifi or mobile. I can now browse Play Store both on Wifi and mobile, and rebooting changes nothing.
When I experienced the issue of "empty" Play Store, the Wifi-connection icon in the upper right corner were always gray (instead of blue) - something that's usually only happening if I'm connected to a wireless network, but the router isn't connected to the actual internet.
My conclusion is inconclusive, I'm just happy that it's back to normal..
Hi guys,
I'm facing the exact same problem as rahulananda.
In my case, the play store running on my Galaxy S4 and also on my notebook, is empty - searchs returns nothing and whey I access directly an app page, it says the app is not available in my country (Brazil).
For me, play store works fine over when mobile data (4G) is enabled, it doesn't work at all on wifi.
I also have a Galaxy S3 which is working perfectly on wifi and also mobile data.
It doesn't seem to be related to play store version, as in all my devices it is currently on version 4.3.11 - besides it is also not working on my laptop.
But, indeed, this is an issue to determine the location - for some reason, over my wifi, and rahulananda's mobile data, Play Store is unable to determine the country.
I found this on Google's Known issues: support.google.com/googleplay/known-issues/1319135?hl=en reffer to issue 8324410.
Hope they fix this soon, this is driving me crazy!!!
Let me know if you find a solution!
Its a simple fix as long as you have root.If you do look at this:
1. Navigate to the Build.prop
2. Find these 2 lines:
Code:
ro.build.description=
ro.build.fingerprint=
3. Delete everything in front of the "=" sign
4. Download a custom rom for another device that has great compatibility with apps(htc one, sgs4)
5. Copy those lines from its build.prop to yours
6. Reboot and Enjoy your market:good:
Well, my problem has been solved after applying the latest CM10 nightly update.

Hi, I just bought this and the package arrived an hour ago the update is downloading but for some reason, my google card (I don't know why but I only have weather and stories) won't sow up :| and location the google app settings give me error when I open them!
but anyway the only thing i see on my lg gwatch is the steps and notifications like viber, how can i get more cards and then add them to my g watch? like even the simple weather!
and my bigger problem is that whenever i try to create any kind of remind it doesn't work, it works on the google app on my phone. other stuff like note to self or "how tall is the empire state building" work!
EDIT: After updating to lastest version reminders work. still no google cards ;(
Android Wear app is us to date? As well as Google app? What OS?
Latest Google app versions don't display separated cards anymore, but you should get one that you can swipe to see other cards.
You said that settings of Google app don't open? Try clearing data on phone then reconfigure it.

You mentioned VPN, so maybe you are in a country where Google Now doesn't work (for some reason that Google thinks it's not supposed to work)?

Nothing useful on that post. already read that and it says "Blank" not no google cards at all!
Not useful for fixing it maybe (now, new replies may be added with more info), but useful because it's the same issue. Good luck.

Just want to ask you guys that have Chinese version of mate 10, is android pay working for you?
Every time I try to add a payment card in the android pay app, 3 seconds after the camera opens the app will switch back to it's previous screen. I also can not make payment on play store. I can download free apps but I cant purchase app even though I have a bank card stored on my google account. Anyone have the same problem?
I've got the Mate 10 Pro which was shipped from Carphonewarehouse here in the UK and I'm having the same problem with Android pay. I've tried reinstalling but still persists.
Same problem with the ALP-29 (European) model. Is it something with the way Launch handles apps perhaps?
wow， I didn't expect European version have the same problem. I thought it's the Chinese firmware's problem.
This is a pretty serious bug imo, Huawei should fix it asap.
Android pay works on my AL00 rebranded to L29 C636 but tried to use it twice and my card got declined. I have no issues with the card. Strange .
Update. I think it was because I had app lock set to Android Pay. I disabled it and all payments work fine.

I've got a really weird issue with the original L29 and Android Pay. The card is accepted and it works but the icon for Android Pay simply disappears and it shows in Google Play as disabled. Enabling it returns it but shortly it disappears again. And it never survives reboot.
Hey guys, plz try to go to Google Play and add ur credit card into it, then go back to the Android Pay and try adding a card again.
If this helps, plz let me know. Good luck.

I find the fix for camera jumping back issue, go to phone manager-launch-android pay. Turn it to manual and turn on all sub options under manual.
However I still can not pass the card verification process on this phone, android pay says it is card issuer problem. But I tried all of my bank/ credit cards , none of them can pass the verification. And the same cards can be used on my old P9 PLUS and on my friend's MATE 9. So there is definately something wrong with the mate 10, very strange problem.
Hello all, i had this problem too but resolved it by following the instructions here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-10/help/huawei-mate-10-android-pay-t3714857.
Try clearing all data in your Google Play Services (under Settings->Apps). Let Play Services reload the data and try adding a new card again using Android Pay. If that doesn't work, then uninstall updates from Google Play Services, the reboot your phone. Wait for play store to update your Google Play Services to the latest version (it can take a while) then adding new cards to Android Pay shouldn't be a problem. Hope this works for all!
Google Play Services Issue
It has already been stated but please clear all data from Google Play Services. I had the same problem with Android pay. Cleared all data and I'm good to go. Mate 10 fully rocks right now!
After tried everything you guys suggested, I still can not get this working. Cards still cant pass the verification process. Whats your play store version and play service version? I installed one from APKMIRROR, (940-175121617), which is suppose to be the one for android 8, but everytime i restart phone it will be replaced with (448-177350961)

I personally think the Chinese rom is the best rom for our Mate's, but unfortunately, I think that because Google is blocked is China, Android Pay may NEVER work for us (for me I'm in the US using the Chinese rom). I tried for 5 days straight and couldn't get it working correctly. I hope you have better luck than I did
If all fails maybe can rebrand the rom to your region?
Advice appreciated please.
After using the UK "The Times" app for years but had become expensive I chose their European option which was much cheaper, easily cancellable, but required payment only via Google Pay.
Have been using it for a year, but decided to change to a new UK subscription. Google Pay sub was cancelled.
I uninstalled the app (after deleting cache and data) but on downloading the app again from Play Store, I find that the original account data is still there, showing the Google Pay sub information.
And as the app opens it shows "checking Play Store purchases"! And it does seem that this may be the core of the problem, since normally one subscribes direct to the Newspaper.
There is no "logout" option.
Have tried several times, but can't get a pristine app.
How can an uninstalled app contain the original user data when re downloaded? From where is it picking up the information?
I have asked The Times for their help, but in the short term 4 days) they have been unable to come up with a solution.
I have the same issue across 4 different Android devices, phones and tablets.
I suspect the problem is more Play Store associated than app associated.
Advice appreciated please.
