Market problem - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi folks, I'm running the Tiamat 1.3.2. I also have the Honey Bee boot screen installed.
I'm not sure why, but the Market keeps FCing on me. I'm trying to load an app but just before it starts to installs, the market closes on me.
Meanwhile, apps that are trying to update are stalled. I uninstalled the ones that were trying to upload hoping that I could then load a new app, but no luck. Also, I couldn't uninstall them from the market, I had to use the Xoom app manager.
Any ideas?

Try uninstalling updates. Settings -> Managage Applications -> My Apps -> Uninstall Updates

apps not found on market

I have done the Market fix, am running TNT light 4.2 and when I try to find certain apps on the market either through the Market app or from Appbrain, I get either " No matches found" on Market or " the requested Item could not be found" on Appbrain. I am signed into both and am able to download some apps, but not others. I have done the fix using Titanium three times. I think I am missing something simple.
I never use the titanium fix. Just open up market, exit, go to settings > applications > system applications > Market clear cashe then force stop. Go to google services framework, clear data, force stop. exit out of settings. Open the market You should get an error when you open it up. Reboot your g tab. Allow it time to load and get an internet connection. You should have the full market. If you get an error again you may have to redo the steps. There have been times I have had to redo the steps two or three times. Follow the directions to the letter.
Thanks,
I did it without the Titanium fix and it works perfectly. Being new to the Droid world, this is very wierd compared to my WM days.
try this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7l-nySibzeA
works everytime in my vegan5.1
sometimes, dont know why, i lose acess to all apps in market... i do that again and works all the time
Moved to general
I am pretty sure there is no such thing as 'full market' on the g-tablet. The fix, whether the titanium or regular fix gets you some apps. The mahimahi build.prop fix gets you even more apps (tv.com was always my standard.) But there are a bunch of apps that will not show... Firefox would be one for me. Now that the market is available on the web, all the apps are available, they just aren't available to be downloaded on g-tab.

Is there a documented way somewhere to, as an example, modify our build.prop file to look like a Galaxy Tab or Galaxy S phone? I have had a hell of a time side loading some apps that the market wont let me download normally (like Facebook) but that work fine on the tablet.
I think I have the market working fine for what I am "supposed" to be able to see and download (I can see TV.com as an app for example).
Would be nice though to just have access to everything and be able to choose what I want and if it doesn't work very well I can just uninstall it. Maybe that's wishful thinking, I don't know. Would love to be able to "spoof" my phone to be a Galaxy Tab, or S though and any help to that end would be greatly appreciated.

Market Apps not re-installing after flash or when new

Hello,
For some reason with my Thunderbolt the apps in the market are not being backed up and re-installing themselves. On my Droid X whenever I would flash a ROM and go into market, all the previously installed apps would be queued up and re-install themselves. So naturally when I got the TB I was expecting this to happen, which it didn’t. I went ahead and re-installed all the apps for a couple days before I had a chance to go through the somewhat lengthy process of rooting. Well, got around to rooting last night and hoping that the apps would back themselves up now thinking maybe they would only re-install on the same device I flashed a ROM with no luck. Anyone have an idea of what could preventing this from happening on this phone?
When I look on market.android.com it shows the apps installed so I can’t re-install them from the comfort of the web. Any ideas?
Thanks
I had this problem before too. What I did was go into Settings - Applications, and find "Market". I then cleared the cache and the data. I cycled power to the phone and the next time I went into the Market app it added all my previously purchased and free apps correctly. Hope this helps!

I dont think the market does an automatic backup. And the history it keeps is sketchy at best, it looses alot of apps i had installed. Appbrain would be a better option, it doesnt autoreinstall, but will let you do batch installs. Even better would be a true backup app like Titanium backup, it backs up your apps and assosiated data. But with your current setup, you can tell the market to install the app again, it will work, even if it thinks it is already installed.

[Q] Apps aren't showing in the market after flashing cm7.0.2?

Only a few of my free apps show in the market under my apps. All my paid ones are there. I have tried fixing permissions in rom manager, using the market doctor in titanium backup, and clearing the cache of the market app. None of that worked. Also, I'm not really sure if this happened because of cm7.0.2 or if I just hadn't noticed until now but either way its annoying.
What do I need to do to get them to show besides re-downloading everything one at a time?
No suggestions?

[Q] Uninstalling Switch Pro Widget

Does anyone know how to fully uninstall SwitchPro Widget?
If I use Appmanager (HTC Desire) I can't find it under "All" nor under "On SD card", but if I look in "Running" it's there. If I click it there's no option for uninstalling - the only option is "Stop".
I don't have any widgets up on the homescreen.
I tried uninstalling it using Titanium Backup and it said that it did, but after a restart it's back.
Any help would be appreciated - thanks in advance.
PS I'm using ROM: HiApk (Sensefun) GS v1.1
If you've used the screen off toggle, you activated it as device administrator. I'm on MIUI right now so my settings menu is different, but you need to find Security & Privacy Settings, then Select Device Administrators. Uncheck the app, then you should be able to uninstall it.

Thanks for your reply-
I haven't used the screen lock, but the 3G toggle.
Unfortunately there is no "Security and Privacy" under Settings on this ROM. There's a "Security" and a "Privacy", but neither has a Device Administrator option. I have searched high and low for it, but it is nowhere to be found ;-(
Perhaps under Accessability? I believe that's where it was on my stock rom.
(from... Evo/MIUI/Tapatalk)
Thanks again, but I have tried that. All I get there is a message saying I don't have any accessibility related applications installed.
Did you somehow move it to /system? That's the only reason I can think it wouldn't allow you to uninstall through settings. If you have Titanium Backup Pro, try freezing the app. If not, just try uninstalling through TB again, but wipe data first. If you have Root Explorer, you can delete the apk itself. It should be in /data/app.
Also, have you tried uninstalling through the market?
(from... Evo/MIUI/Tapatalk)
root uninstaller could do that for you. Unfortunately its a pay-only-app
Thanks guys,
I tried to go back and uninstall it in TB, but the entry for the SwitchPro is no longer there. It is still running in the background though.
I can't delete it via market - the only option I get there is to upgrade to pro.
I found a trial version of Root Uninstaller which would allow me three tries. When I try to uninstall through there I get an "Uninstall not succesful due to an unknown error". This is getting ridiculous
Hey - I have just managed to "freeze" it in Root Uninstaller and this means it doesn't start up automatically. I'd call that close to success
I would like to see the little bugger totally gone from my phone, but I can live with this solution.
Many thanks for your great help.
Just for the record: Switch Pro hadn't disappeared from TB, but changed it's name to: alei.switchpro. I still can't delete it, though, but as long as I have it froern I'm happy

android market won't show my purchased installed apps

a few days ago I was using Titanium Backup to unlink my apps from the android market that I had gotten from other markets so that the market would stop trying to install updates for those apps and when I did this I looked at MY APPS in the market it is now only showing a 2 boxes. 1 reads browse apps and the other browse games. It also says apps and games owned by this account will appear here. Iv'e tried using the market Dr. on TB but it won't fix it. I also tried to force close the market and wiping the data and uninstalling any market updates. I'm hoping I don't have to reset the phone completely. I've also tried fixing the permissions and rebooting into recovery. Any help would be much appreciated. Samsung Galaxy s 4g
I had this issue once before. I fixed it by logging on to market.android.com and when I did I noticed that my apps were missing from there to. I then logged off of the website and then back on and like magic all of my apps were back. I wont garuntee this as a fix but it did work for me

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
im having the EXACT same problem... and i even tried a full wipe and fresh install of my rom, and all 200+ apps fresh from market to restore ANY broken market links. still no dice. im on sprints epic 4g touch, found this post on google looking for info lol
i use rom toolbox pro.. no problems here
I used Titanium Backup to uninstall something called the "Market Feedback Agent". I then wiped my cache and dalvik cache and rebooted my phone. My apps showed up in the market after I did this.

EDIT
Just download this App Market Fixer by Kstudio from Android Market.
Use it to scan for offending Apps, Note that it requires active data connection. What it basically does is compare your Apps database with the online Android Market Database and then single out the offending Apps. Presently, the only solution it offers is to uninstall the Apps from your Phone which for me is unacceptable because most of them are Samsung Core System Apps like Videos, Galllery etc, you don't wanna lose your System Apps.
When the scan finish just take note of the offending Apps, it would help to write them down. Do not use their Fix tool because it will delete the Apps from your Phone or if you use REMOVE MARKET LINKS ONLY those Apps will give you FORCE CLOSE afterwards. The best option is go to Titanium Backup --> Batch --> Detach User & System Apps from Market --> Deselect all --> NOW SELECT ONLY THE OFFENDING APPS --> Run the Batch Operation --> Reboot.
After this go back to Android Market and all your Apps will be there. If It didn't work the first time, redo the whole process, maybe you missed one App.
This has 99.9% success and I believe it will work for you.
ADDITION
For those of us that Schedule Backups with TB, you have to do some tweaks to your Preferences if not; after such backups, the whole problem will come back again. This is all you have to do:
Go to Preferences --> Deselect MARKET LINK (When backing up an app, save its Market Link. Requires SQlite).
Be aware that this might happen again if you upgrade ROM or restore whole system with TB Backup, but with such Tool at hand, all it takes is less 3 minutes to fix.
Hope this is helpful
Thank you! I'll not sure exactly what I did that fixed it, but somewhere between using Market Fixer and uninstall/re-installing some apps it working again.
Note to self: stop playing with Market Doctor in TB for no good reason.
Hi
Excuse me for being somehow off topic, I'd want the opposite.
I have a few apps (Youtube & windows theme for Go launcher for example) that I hate their updates and I'd like them to not appear on market update list.
If someond knows how to do this, please PM or send a link.
I searched and couldn't find anything. 10x.

In Titanium Backup - Market Doctor will break market links.
Any free solution?

Go into settings/apps/manage apps and clear data for market
