Just got my new TB after work, logged in and drove home, none of my Market apps have synced from my Nexus S. Rooted the phone and still no apps have synced. Installed Adryn's debloat rom, no apps have synced.
I have "Backup data to Google" checked when I login my gmail account. I've been doing this for years with multiple phones and hundreds of rom flashes and my apps always synced automatically.
Did this happen to anyone else? I can go to market.android.com and push all my apps manually but over 100+ apps is going to take forever.
Does it have something to do with Sense? This is my first Sense phone.
Honestly, I always just thought the backup system only restored the apps if you were moving to the same model device. You'll notice this same thing happen if you flash an AOSP rom later. At least it always did with my Incredible. If I had an AOSP rom, it would restore one set of apps I had installed. If I flashed back to a Sense ROM, I got the other set. So, yeah, I'd wager it's something with Sense. But if what you're saying is right, when you get an AOSP Gingerbread rom on there, they might all come back.
My apps installed automagically.....I logged into the phone at the store and by the time I got home, about 10 mins away, they were installed.
I do remember hearing awhile back that if you went into the market before the app restore started...it wouldn't start. Not sure if that still applies or if it was even correct....but I always wait until my apps restore before I hit the market.

I didn't get any of my apps going from my Incredible to my first Thunderbolt. I just swapped to a new one today and got all my apps back from the TB, but nothing from the Incredible.
I had to download everything myself. If you're worried about missing an old app, etc, go to My Market Account (top right on the browser version of the market). That will have a nice list of old apps for you
I had the same issue coming from a Droid X. When I went from Droid to Droid X everything carried over, but the first time I started the devices it didn't load my old apps. When I rooted using the first method it did. When I rooted using the new method it didn't. It might have to do with opening Market before it starts, but I'm not 100% sure.
Hmm, interesting. I'll just leave it be for the time being, I'll end up wiping and flashing new roms in he next couple days anyways so I'll see what happens.
Mine autorestored the very first time when I wiped/cleared for CM7 test0. Then when I wiped/cleared for test3 they didn't.

I just updated to the stock 2.2 and noticed the android market app is the old version. Anybody else have this issue? Is there anyway to update it?

Clear the app data in the manage applications menu. Should fix it.

I noticed that the first time I ran the market app after the Froyo install, it was loading a different interface. The next time I used it, it reverted to the old one again. I've tried deleting the app date, rebooting, etc, but it never has gone back to the new one.

It will give it time to update. I flashed last night to clear out a few things and the market was an older one and stayed that way for like 4 hours, Then it changed.
After the update, I had the ancient market. After I waited about 5 minutes and checked again, the new interface was installed, no need to clear any data. The ROM must have included the other one and out just needed to update like on the old ROM.

Hmmm. I just browsed the market for quite some time, and it never has switched over to the new layout.
You probably need exit the market first. Try exiting and then restart your phone after a little bit to see if it installs the update. Remember that it's a background update and may not happen immediately.

Would it matter if I was on wifi instead of Edge for this to occur?
I was on wifi, but it shouldn't matter.

I just did a factory reset on my phone in order to attempt to fix the Quick Office problem, the market update, and some other weird quirks. So far everything appears to be fixed except the market. The very first time I loaded it, it was the new interface. The next time it switched right back to the old one.
OK probably stupid, but when I saw people talking about new market I thought it was just the apps available, and since I could get flash, I thought I had it. Now I see folks mentioning different interface? What's supposed to be different on the interface ? I think I have the same one as I had on 2.1

What little I saw of it, the layout didn't have so much green color to it, and the top interface was different. I plan on trying to delete the app data for it today and try to get it to update once I go into town and get closer to a tower. Maybe it will finally download and update.
Anyone else still have the old market showing up? It's been several days now even after a factory reset, and even though my phone loaded the new interface on the first run, it went right back to the old and never has updated. I've cleared data and so on, but nothing works. Should I try the "Uninstall Update" button for the market app?

I had this problem...I was told to go to Applications->Manage Applications->All->Market and select "Clear Data". Then reboot phone. This should cause your "Market" to update after several minutes.
This worked for me.

Sorry I just read your post again and you stated that you already cleared data. I am not sure what to try. I cleared data rebooted left the phone alone for about twenty minutes then checked and the market updated.
Hey everyone. First post here, so bare over with me
I have had my tattoo for almost a year before I finally stepped up and flashed it with froyo (Should have done that long ago). To make sure I had all my contacts I backed it up with Mybackup and it worked in the 1.6 days.
After the flash I installed gapps, Mybackup and thought the restoring was a piece of cake. But no, it reports when its about to restore that I have to login to my google account. The problem is that I am logged in, everything is running smooth.
I tried to reset and make the google sign in come when i start the phone. Thats worked very well until it needs to actually sign in. It just idles forever. It says 5 minutes tops on the phone, I left it for 1 hour with out any results.
Does anyone have a clue to what is wrong? If it cant be fixed, is there any way I can copy the contacts from the backup and on to the phone?
Thanks in advance!

Ok so I have a HTC G2 (Desire/Vision). I decided that i finally wanted to root it and go all out. So I did the permaroot and installed the newest version of Clockworkmod no problem. I then flashed the CM 7.03 rom. Booted up, everything looked good. I then flashed the newest version of gApps. It asked me to sign in and everything was fine. The final step I took was flashing the G2-Fast kernel (1.9ghz OC). So when i boot up my phone, google attempts to back up all my apps via the market. There was around 100 apps downloading. So I left it there over night. This morning i check it, the last 10 apps or so were unsuccessful. I kept trying to reinstall apps but nothing. I also tried new or different apps but all come up as "Download Unsuccessful". Since then I've tried just about everything to fix it. clearing cache/data, reflashing, superwipe, sobe's method, signing into to GTalk, toggling 2G. I figured I try a new rom. So far I've flashed meXdroidMod and MIUI, but same result. Everything is fine but market doesn't want to work. I'm contemplating reloading my old ROM that i backed up once i get home. Anyone have any ideas? I pray to the gods of XDA.
I don't have much experience with your particular phone buy there has been a small epidemic of your issue on droid x running Gingerbread. It appears to be a disconnection of the google account with the market. It always appears to happen after a data wipe and need to reinstall apps. Sometimes you can still push apps from the Internet market to the phone, sometimes not. In a few cases it resolves by unmounting the sd card and downloading. Once download works then ok to remount. Besides those lucky few, everyone else has to wait it out. Even sbf does not fix it.
FORTUNATELY every case I know of resolved itself spontaneously in about 24hrs give or take. I found at least one case via google on a Thunderbolt so I know it can happen to other phones. Also if you have more than one android device on the same account all of them are affected. Good Luck
It has happened twice to me. Because of this I now keep copies of my most important apps on my sd card.

Apps are not restoring from market after having unlocked bootloader (and phone got cleared).
I unlocked it yesterday and on a first run apps did get updated, and in fact I got the new market as well, which I hadn't had before.
I had to re-do the whole process (lock and unlock) because it hadn't worked correctly (syntax error in updater-script).
This time apps didn't update. I checked from my laptop and my market there did show all my apps (paid and free), although the one on my phone only showed the paid one.
Tried it again today and it still hasn't updated, even though I've let it sit for a few hours. Logged into my market today from laptop again and I only see one app on my account (the only one I've paid), but it might be because it is listed in the "My Orders" tab; there doesn't seem to be a "My installed apps" anymore. The free ones aren't listed any place I can find, although if I search for them individually they are tagged as Installed.
Is "Market" temporarily broken or is there something I can do?
If you've got titanium back-up try running market doctor (settings, more). It usually works for me.
The other option is to clear the data and cache for the market app.
The market can be a bit iffy at times but.the apps usually reappear eventually.

Still not updating...
I've reset the phone completely and have got it to sync with the couple of apps I'd added during today, but can't get back to the old ones I had.
I wonder if it's had something to do with having received the new Market yesterday at some point, but now being on the old one again after the phone reset.
Is there some way I can force the OTA Market update and see if that will sync me back?

Been using my Cappy as a game device for close to a year since I got an SII. Tonight I tried to download an app via wireless and could not access Google Play. Tried using the SIM from the SII, but phone still gets network errors even with wifi on. Provisioned the phone, but still no go. I'm thinking a factory reset and starting from scratch might work, but I am running Andromeda 3 and am unsure what will happen if I do a reset. Will it restore to the factory version of Froyo? Will I lose root? I want to use the Cappy to fly my AR Drone 2, but I don't want to mess it up to do so. It flies great with the SII, but it would be nice to have the Cappy for it if possible. Incoming calls cause the copter to land and can be a pain. The Cappy doesn't even show up among my phones on Google Play. Don't remember deleting it, but until I can get some kind of network access I'm sunk. Did the APNs change for the Cappy in the past year? Shouldn't it be able to connect via wifi regardless? Thanks!
That's a strange problem... however you didn't specify what exactly isn't working. I know Google play doesn't work, but does anything else work over wifi? Either way, it is hard to give support when you are using a very outdated version of Android. I recommend you at least update to Gingerbread, or if you want, Jellybean.
You can also try clearing data for the play store. That's strange that it doesn't show up under your account. My old phone that I sold months ago is still there (twice), and there is no way to delete phones from the list. Are you sure you weren't using a different account?
I can't access either network, which is what is baffling me. I would think I should at least be able to access the internet via wifi, but even that won't work. It connects to my router fine, but beyond that nothing. As for my Play account, I remember several Cappys showing up there because I had 2 replacements within a month back when I first got it in 2010. Whether they dropped off from non-use or I deleted them somehow I don't remember. I just had my SII replaced under warranty last month and both are still there. My SII came with a new 4G SIM, which might not be compatible with the Cappy, but that doesn't explain not being able to connect via wifi. I'm stumped.
A factory data reset won't change your Rom, and you won't lose root. It might fix the problem.

Well, I managed to get online, but another issue cropped up. I logged into Google Play and can see all my installed apps. There are many needing updating, but when I try to do so I get a message that the app is not compatible with my device. Why would an already installed app see that an update is available and then not let me install it? I can also receive e-mail to my 2 configured e-mail accounts, but I can't send any e-mails through them. The same is true of both these accounts on my SII, so this issue may have nothing to do with the Cappy. I may just put a GB ROM on this thing, but it's been so long since I flashed anything that I have no idea which ROM to use or how to do it. I wonder if I copy over the APK for the app I want to run if it will work?

You'll need to flash KK4 with bootloaders (check the stickied in dev section). That will get you on stock GB, from there you can flash w/e ROM you want, I would suggest JB based. (AOKP and AOCP are my personal fav but you can look them up and choose one you see fit)
A lot of things changed since you were all over this forum But if you have TiBu, JB will optimize your apps so they should run fine (just remember to save your IMEI with TiBu otherwise they'll FC).
A fresh download of those apps tho will most likely be better. Just like after formatting a PC, it is better to fresh install your apps. And who knows, you might fall in love with your Cappy all over again
