This may be a dumb question, but I haven't been able to figure it out for the life of me. On the transformer, is there a way to manually search for application updates in the market? I know on my Captivate running Froyo that I just open Market, Hit Menu and choose My Apps that I get a listing of What's Installed and what updates are available. I noticed that I had an update available on my phone, but when I go into My Apps on Android I've never seen an update available for any of the apps yet. Just wanted to see if there was a way to force it. I thought about Clearing Market Data under applications which is Easy in Froyo, but Don't know how smoothly that would go on Honeycomb.

when you go into the market and choose my apps, any of the apps that have an update available should show up above the "installed apps"

Maybe some of the apps are not updated for the tablet. The devs can decide which OS the apps (and the updates) will support. But as the previous poster stated, all updates should be listed on top of your installed apps in "My Apps".

I want to start the Market Updater but since it is a system app I am not sure of how to force start it or if there is an app for this, there are many apps for stopping other apps but none that I know for starting them. My phone is not rooted.
Yesterday when the market was updated I kept deleting it because I was not sure what was going on, I was not given a notice that there was an update or was ever asked if I wanted to update. The new markets icon was not the same and since I am always quick to think something unfamiliar is a virus I kept uninstalling it and eventually took out the battery and restarted my phone (I know I am weird). NE Ways I looked it up on the net and confirmed that there was indeed a new market released and now I want it back so that is the reason for this question.
Please do NOT post or link to the apk, I want to get it through the Market Update app.

search and download in the market named "Startup Manager", once you've open it, you will have three tabs. Go to the 3rd tab labeled "Custom". from that tab you can add an application that you want to start on startup..
hope it helps if i understood your problem correctly..
Using TNT LITE 4.2 trying to install My Movies application but it won't allow me to install, says the item is not compatible with my device... how is that possible? I'm new to all this but shouldn't all android apps work on android devices? This app requires android 1.6 and up, I have 2.2. Anyone know what's going on? I tried another app and got the same message.
I only get this problem with the web based market. Running market from my device I don't experience that issue. However I do not see all available apps from the device market probably because they are filtered out. I have experienced this with several different roms. I know that a large part of the apps you see from the device market is based on the fingerprint found in the build.prop file. I am not sure what other minor settings will affect the device market. As far as the web based market I am still experimenting. You could always download the Amazon market and see if you can find the apps you are needing to install.

Okay I got it. Follow these instructions and you should be able to get almost the full market place.

Hey everyone, So, I was toying around with some apps getting them all updated and what-not, but when i closed the marketplace and reopened it, I did not find my apps i had installed anywhere. Just the main google apps.
None of my extra apps are to be seen. In part with this, No updates are being notified at all, So you can understand how frusterating it is for me.
All my apps are still installed and I installed Applanet and it can see them there just fine too. And they show up in my "Applications" section under my settings.
Anyone know how to make them come back to my downloads area in marketplace so i can update them again?
Mine has done that a couple of times recently, but seems to fix itself after a reboot. Very odd...
I used the RUU from HTC to upgrade my rooted Inspire, and it went beautifully. Everything seemed to restore and my phone feels faster.
However... I have the old market back. That isn't as big a problem as it no longer sees all my apps from the market. I searched and searched but couldn't find the answer. Even more annoying is I swear I'd seen this problem and a solution posted somewhere recently.
Anyone?
Thanks!
I have two ideas:
1. Clear Data for the Market, I've had problems with it and this helped
2. Make sure you have Unknown Sources enabled in >Settings>applications and try to install the new market manually.
I had already cleared data/FC'd and restarted several times.
Installed latest Market, and still no love. It only shows Youtube and Maps. I downloaded something new just for grins.
When I log into my market account, it shows me as registered today but not used yet. I suspect it has something to do with this...
Is it new apps that were recently installed since the upgrade that are not seen or previous apps that were installed with previous ROM? If the apps are installed, possibly you can use Titanium backup to restore market links. Most likely other apps that will do the same.
Market doesn't see ANY apps at all! And I can't use Titanium since I'm no longer rooted.
As a side note, my kid called last night to tell me he had upgraded, and had the exact same problem. After installing the upgrade, he had old market and none of his apps showed up.
That is totally strange if you install a new app and then market fails to recognize it right off the bat. I can't recall anyone else having this issue.
Sorry, I misinterpreted your previous post.
Everything I've ever gotten from the market shows in my market account on my computer, but not in 'my apps' tab in the market on my phone. However, the apps I've now downloaded again now show in 'my apps' but still have the original download dates showing in my market account.
Very odd behavior...
You now have me quite confused too. They don't show up then they do show up? What are you missing then? The apps that you previously downloaded with the froyo ROM?

Exactly. Everything I'd previously downloaded is missing in 'my apps' although the phone and all the apps show up when I log into my market account on my PC.
Doesn't really matter much now. The last time I installed a ROM it took nearly an hour for the market to reinstall all my apps. I've manually reinstalled the 10 or so apps I actually use, and not bother with Paper Toss and Tom the Talking Cat and the other 30 or so space wasters.
Just find it odd that my kid and I, in two different cities and on two different ROMs, had the exact same experience with the market. Go figure.
This i what i had to do
This very same thing happend to me as well. If you go on your home computer or use your browser on your phone and go to the actual Market web siteand sign in you can resend all of your apps to your phone and reinstall them. Then they will show up in market on your phone again. The Market web site is marketandroid.com/apps sign in with your google acct info then click the My Library tab and chose the apps you want to reinstall. Hope this helps. let me know if it works!!!
Also when you first started your phone with the original froyo it asked whether you wanted to back your apps up in the setup. Maybe you did not have this checked. So when you ran the RUU it totally wiped your phone clean as it should. If you did have backup selected, when you installed the new ROM it should have started to install most of the apps. I have noticed it never installs all apps from the market. But it does show for me at least all the paid apps. The apps it did show for you were technically not your apps. They were system apps that were linked to the market automatically.
Also as you did start fresh make sure you have google backup in affect so it keeps track of your apps for the next time you install fresh if you ever do.
I believe the reason the apps show up online with the pc and not your phone because google thinks you uninstalled all those apps.
I just recently got the android market update to 3.3.11 and when i try to update apps or view my apps i get a fc. Just wondering if any one is having similar problems, and if there is a work around?

I'm assuming you've tried to clear data and force close market from settings -> applications?
I got the Market update this morning too and I have not had any problems.
I'm having the same problem... I posted about it twice in the Prime thread to no avail. I have cleared the Market data and also the apps data that I have had problems updating.
It's only select apps (google apps?) that seems to force close the market when trying to update them.
what phone is it? im kinda lost here...im new to this form and would like some help.
.
Yeah, i cleared the data and cache, i even did a full system wipe to try a solve but no dice. Hopefully an update is forth coming that will solve this, kinda a pain not being able to update apps.
Cold boot fixed it for me when I updated to the latest firmware
i assume you did not read the info before installed right?
it's said that 3.3.11 is not working perfectly on Honeycomb tablet's
but now you now

I assume you know that this was pushed silently and we had no choice, right?
Now you know.
I also have some problems with the new Market app. However, it seems to only force close when I select specific paid apps under My Apps. One of those apps received an update, which it luckily installed automatically, and now I can select that app again without a problem. Maybe the Market crashed on certain permission settings that they changed or something. Just an idea.
Btw, it has been tried by gnufabio to put back the previous version of the Market, but that didn't work because of how the apk's are signed or something (correct me if I'm wrong!).
