is anyone else aware of a problem in android market where certain apps cant be clicked on but downloaded, comming up with the message :
sorry, details page for the requested item could not be found.
has just happened for me trying to get skype and various other apps .
I got that message too when I'm trying to open the XDA-Developer Premium page as well as many other apps.
Anybody have a possible explanation for this?
Yep. Everyone seems to be having problems.
wonder if it is anything to do with your googlemail account ??
A google employee has posted on the support thread for this problem that they've made some changes and paid apps do seem to be working again for me.

Yup all fixed now.
I'm kind of relieved that it is as I noticed the problem just after rooting my transformer and I really wasn't looking forwards to working out how to undo it
jus gotta try and remember what i wanted to get from app market lol

Just wondering if anyone has heard of such a thing. With all of the issues with protected apps not showing in the market with some roms, it would be neat if there was an app like the Music downloaders, that let you search and download apks.
Some apps poof from market and it would be nice to have a quick way to find them.
Does SlideME work? I used that back in the vogue android days, but I haven't used it since.. That was just a different market app basically
See if any of these work: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=536317
I honestly don't know. My protected apps all work. And honestly the only times they haven't is because we were using developers roms. It's all fixed now though, and our official obviously won't have that problem.
Search the market for "APKtor." It's an app that'll let you add repositories filled with android apps. It's essentially Cydia for Android. As far as where to get your repositores, you'll need to figure that much out.
there a few others that i will not post here lol
Appbrain ...
Search google for an app called "black market"..
Then you will have to search for the right repositories.. If you download GMOB chat and go to the rooted users chat someone there will help you out..
*also in GMOB chat there is a room where there is nothing but posted apps, and a request room..

Don't want to steer the thread too far off topic, but is this true for all roms, or just certain ones. I haven't been able to spend much time on the forum the past few days, but if there's a complete fix for protected apps, I'll definitely set aside some time to seek it out...
i honestly havent dl'd anything from the market since my g1, cept to go grab linda and get acess to my sd right away...
anything the market can do, google can do better *singalong voice*
i understand the market is google, but i mean the search engine

fresh rom 2.0d.
Can anyone find Digital Clock Widget v1.8 in the marketplace? Says it's copy protected, but it's a free app. I have v1.7.6 and can't find it to update. Found a website with a zip of v1.8, but it's not signed. I signed it, but it won't install because it says it's missing classes.dex.
Also, flipz, is the market fix available as a standalone update? Currently running DCv2.05
Oh ****! APKtor is god!
Quick question. My transformer installs apps from the market fine but when im navigating around the market looking around the apps ive already dont show as 'installed'. Instead it shows 'free' or the price of the app. When i click on the app it shows as installed and it also shows the installed apps within the 'my apps'......is this normal????
Anyone else got this?
I have the same "issue".
same here.
I have it as well. I presume it's intended/design flaw.
same thing we me. i suspect they still need to squish this bug.
maybe 3.1 will have this fixed.
Thanks for confirming this, i though i was going mad. I half remember reading a review of honeycomb and it included this issue but i cant find it now. Its a hard one to Google as it gets mixed with people who cant install apps or cant see apps in the market.
I remember hearing that 3.1 would fix this problem.
Hmm i thought i was going nuts when downloading apps and sometimes they dont show up anywhere, hope 3.1 irons this out
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium App
agree, very annoying...
I had the same problem, I did a system reset and it all started to work also make sure you do not uncheck the restore device settings. I think that was the trick for me.

This has just been sitting in the my apps section of marketplace since I ran market doctor in Titanium Backup. I have absolutely no idea what this app does, (if anything) both the description and Whats New text simply says LocalTryTry followed by two screen shots of a three paned interface that is completely blank. Attempting to update the app fails and I can find no actual trace of it's existence on my transformer anywhere.
So I ask, what is this thing had how do I get rid of it? Frankly Its freaking me out a bit.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.asus.weatherwondered the samething. just looked on the market page. It says in the url com.asus.weather. thanks for making me look.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.asus.weather
Well that seems to be that mystery solved
I have exactly the same problem.
It came about exacly the same way i have tried using two different roms with the same result.
Have you got rid of it and how you did it.
Thanks

Using Titanium Backup just unlink LocalTryTRy (Asus weather) from the market and it stops nagging you about updates that always fail.
Well first post gets an answer pretty quick.
Pretty easy when you know how
Thanks for you help.
So instead of breaking the market link is there a way to port the update again? If I knew how I would since that seems like a better option.

I'm running chromi-x. My chrome browser's address bar search feature is somewhat hijacked...
<search term> goes to google/yahoo/bing (as set in settings) but it searches for: http://www.search-goal.com/?q=<search term>&affID=<somenumber>&babsrc=amob_ait
Has anyone seen an android browser hijack? Any idea how to fix? AVG A/V hasn't had any luck....
EDIT/PS: This is not happening in the default android browser.
Oops. Didn't read properly. Sorry. Forgot you said it searches the correct engine.
Edit: after a few Google searches, I can't find anything about search-goal.com, and the site has no information about itself either. My best guess is an app you installed is doing it. Uninstall anything you may have installed in the last week or so, and see if the problem goes away.
My suggestion would be to uninstall reinstall if that doesn't work, reflash the rom. I just went to search-goal.com on my pc and it looks dangerious. Im wasn't aware the homepage could be changed without user input, if you've installed any root access apps (essentially any apk files) id uninstall them.
Thanks for the suggestions. I tried uninstalling chrome. Got it uninstalled but had a heck of a time re-installing. It would NOT wipe /data/data/com.android.chrome. I finally removed that with TWRP. After reinstalling chrome it's still doing it. I've done an "install over" rom install (install, no data wipe) and it's still doing it. As much as I've tried to avoid it I think I'm going to have to wipe/reload/reinstall apps one by one. My last shot is I'm trying to find where the search engines are set up if it's a file somewhere to see if I can edit it.
Definitely malicious given the one time I tried to open it on a PC that I knew I could clean if I needed to it came up looking like a google clone.
Thankfully it's not actually loading that site so it's not doing anything but being annoying when I try to search.
same in my case -> solution
I had the same issue at my tf101 (at Team EOS rom) - and I was able to find the reason: in my case A.I. type keyboard app and the so called customized web search capabilities. When you remove this "feature" chrome search is back to normal.
Happy camper!

Many thanks be to timbetu! I shut off all my extra keyboards I was trying out. (FloatNSplit, GO, Hacker's, & Perfect Keyboard Free). That left the Android, ASUS, and Google voice typing turned on. Sure enough it went away! I was actively using FloatNSplit at the time. Will do some experimenting to find out if it was that one or another.
You have saved me from having to resetup my tablet!
:highfive:
EDIT: Also, dude, that's pretty awesome that your 1st post to XDA gets a thanks! Welcome to the forums!

I'm using floatnspin keyboard and that seems to be my issue. There is a setting for web searches and once I turned that off my browser worked normally again. I guess thats a new "feature".
Had the same problem, uninstalling the app fixed it. Please flag this app in Google play so Google can know about this! If you ask me, changing the default search engine without notifying the user is pretty nasty and malicious.
FloatNSplit and A.I. keyboard seems to be the same app.

I recognized this problem at my tablet and searched for an solution. During my search I found this topic here - but unfortunately without help. So I tried everything at my Asus and as I discovered the guilty app I just shared this finding with other affected users (because I knew of this thread).
hi all. ive recently updated google chrome to the last version and i am unable to disable the annoying suggested content on chrome
the older method was to disable the 2 flags
chrome://flags/#enable-ntp-popular-sites
chrome://flags/#enable-ntp-snippets
but now after the update no option is there to disable the snippets flag
is there a method to disable this after the update. in the meantime ive reverted back to the. previous chrome version as i find the suggested content annoying. thanks

I have found this:
reddit DOT com/r/chrome/comments/67ndux/help_bookmarks_and_recent_tabs_buttons_gone_in/
google replies it's permanent, bunch of idiots
link
please reply on that forum you don't agree with this
I was also getting annoyed with unwanted junk as suggested content. Tried above options too. The first one about popular sites is still available at the time of posting this reply but that disables only dumping on new tab what is perceived as popular site at Google end.
I got rid of suggested content permanently by signing out of Chrome (Android) and by disabling couple of things under Settings - Privacy. 1. Search and site suggestions and 2. Use a prediction service to load pages quickly. Prepared myself to face slow loading, extra typing, etc rather than having disgusting unwanted junk...in my case in India - Bollywood crap.
setting "show popular sites"...... to DISABLED, did not fix anything for me. suggested articles are still here.
but i find another solution!!!
TESTED SOLUTION FOUND BY ME.
go to the "show server-side suggestions on the new tab page"
and set it to DISABLED.
that's all, now when you swipe up you will no more see Suggested Contents , but only an odd square image with a blue tree on a blue meadow XD XD
THANKS ME if it works for you, so also other people can understand if my solution is completely working (tested on chrome play store of 4 september, the latest till today)

Correct, lol. You did take the time to test and find a solution, so I think it's worth it to bump up your answer. And I click on search results from xda a lot, but never really got around to opening an account. Thanks for the opportunity I guess.
