Market app issue? - General Questions and Answers

When I check my apps on the android market place not all of them are there!, I was looking for apps that I've recently download it from the market place and they are simply not there, anyone know what is going on here?.
And I mean when you check your downloaded apps not all show up which they should, such as angry birds and a whole bunch of others

The issue was finally fix when I unistalled the updated market version, and went back to the old market and than I upgraded the market app. All you have to do to upgrade after downgrading it is: open it up exit it and wait 5 mins and relaunch it, it should self update like this

app problem
well if you used a sideloader or used a backup program (rooted device backup) then they will not show on the market

I believe there was a market update. Download any app from the market, then force stop the market from settings/applications/manage applications (Market will be under the "All" tab). Open it and check again. If it's still broken, try rebooting.
If that doesn't work, try clearing data for the market from "manage applications"

this generally happens because of content filter settings.
If you have the NEW market,
1) press menu button,
2) tap settings
3) adjust content filter settings to show you all apps.
If you dont have NEW market,
No Idea!! I connected to my 3g network and got the new market. Till then i was stuck! so get the new market!!

It must be content filter rating.
First try to clear data. Then enter market, set market filter to mature, see my apps tab. Do it in order i tell here. Happen to me before.

Apps compatability

I'm trying to install the Official Cineworld App but I am unable to even see the App because it is not compatible with my Sensation.
Does anyone know why and if there is a way around this?
I thought as long as you had Android all Apps should be compatible.

this may be due to qhd resolution of sensation.
Try this method
Download Spare Parts from android market.
Go into the application, if compatibility mode is checked, uncheck it and recheck it. And Reboot it
If its unchecked, check it and reboot.
See if it works

[Q] How to repurchase a app?

So I guess this is the right section, correct me if i am wrong.
I've installed a craked version of Beautiful Widgets (shame on me) so I could try it for some time. Now I want to buy the application and I cant! Somehow the android market thinks i've purchased the app.
Does any one know a way to fix that?
Tks
Have you tried uninstalling the cracked version first? That should in theory let you buy it. If you already did that then I have no idea lol.

I've flashed the new GB, so the app is not at my phone anymore /=
Try clearing data for the market. Go to settings > applications > manage applications, then select the "all" tab. Scroll down until you find the market app and select it. Select the "clear data" button. If that doesn't clear the cache - it should - clear that as well. Then open the market and search for Beautiful Widgets. Hopefully you'll be able to purchase it before it repopulates your list of apps.
I've noticed this with apps that I got for free from Amazon. If you cannot get that to work, wait until there's an update to BW. Once you see the "update" button and select it, you'll be given an option to buy it. I thought that somehow the Market integrated with Amazon (yeah right), but unfortunately not.
I think pirating apps is sleazy, especially considering that they're usually only $1-$3 and a one-time purchase. But thank you for actually purchasing the app after pirating it.

I´ve already tryed to clear the market data and no succes =/ Guess I will have to wait for the next update from Level Up.
I agree with you plainjane, the apps price are VERY reasonable, but I like to try the apps for some time before buying them and the new market refound system makes impossible to try the app for some time.
Any other suggestions?
Have you tried purchasing it from a computer? Go to the market website and try there. If you're able to purchase it there, the download should automatically start on your device if you're connected to the Internet.
Alternatively, you can reinstall the app and uninstall it from the market. You should then have the option to purchase it.
If you can't get anything to work, you can always contact Market support.

If you think you still have remains on your phone from the cracked version you can try the app in my signature "sd maid" to remove those remains.

Try installing the cracked version and uninstalling through the market. Not an ideal solution but I think that will work.

Sadlly no. The web market (market.google) has a database for the purchased apps. So if you install a cracked version of an App google put a purchased flag on the database. But i think that the old market does not use this database that is why i was abble to buy the app using the old market.
When i say the old market i mean that one that came with the 2.2, with a green half circle on top.

OK the way to do it that has worked for me when I use cracked apps to test is that, it will look like it thinks you have purchased but when you hit update or install, it will ask you to pay.
Remember to hit the thanks button if I helped! It only takes a second!

thx for helping out, but problem not solved!
i have tried the following:
* update from cracked app
* uninstalled cracked app and then install from market
* uninstalled cracked app, installed demo version from market and then tried to upgrade to full version
all of these attempts failed!
it just says in the market that the app is purchased and when i try to install it (or update it), it says something like "download declined because app is not purchased"!
i guess a full wipe would be a solution, but i´d rather not do that, right now!
Full wipe won't help...at least it didn't in my case. I have done a few full wipes and even switched between android versions and still get to "download and install" before it tells me app is not purchased but there is no purchase option in market, only install...

[Q] Titanium backup - attach to market

In Titanium Backup, if long-pressing on an app there's an option to Attach to Market. My thinking is that with this option, if I have an app on my phone that was not downloaded from the Market, I could 'attach to market' in order to receive update notifications for the app.
Is this wrong? Because I've attached an app to the market via titanium backup, but it doesn't show under My Apps in the Market.
Thanks for the help/clarification!
Yes, when you buy an app from the market, it comes almost like it's signed or something. There is a verification of it somewhere on the google servers. That's why it tells you download denied. Hope that helps a bit... So all amazon free apps must wait for amazon to update

so to clarify, if i download an app (.apk) and copied it to my sd card, then installed it on my phone and 'attached' it to the market via titanium backup, it won't really do anything? like, this doesn't make the market think i downloaded it from the market?
For paid apps, no... If you attach to market then clear market data and reboot phone, it could show up under your app lost... But if you try and update it... It will tell you update declined... So basically yeah, force attach doesn't really do much in that situation

[Q] 2.3.4. Factory Reset - Google Apps lost updates

Hey guys,
Having recently restored the factory settings of my 2.3.4 stock I lost updates to some google apps (for example, I'm now looking at the old Google Music app).
Weird thing is that I had new updates notification but when I enter the market there's nothing to be updated on the list of my installed apps.
1 day has gone by and still no updates...
Am I missing some magic trick here ?
If you go to the Market to the corresponding apps, what does it say?
Does it claim that they are updated and give you an Open/Uninstall option or does it give you an Install option ?
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
what a n00b I am lol! yep when i get into the corresponding app I have the Update button to click so I guess that will sort it out! Will try at home when I'm in WiFi! Hopefully that's all there is to it
Good to hear, then it's probably just that.
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
yep I managed to update them from their own application profile on the market! Still can't find Google Music but it's not a biggie, didn't like it all that much anyway...

It is because Google apps send update notifications in batches. You can always update by going to the app page directly before you receive the notification.

Detaching apps from Market

As with some of you, I do not like the 7.x version of Google Maps. So, I am using a 6.x version of Maps. Using Titanium Backup, I "detached" the Maps app from Market, so when I do a bulk or auto update, the Maps app is not updated. About 1-2 days after I detach Maps from market, using Titanium Backup, I notice that the Maps app shows up again in Market and shows needing to be updated. This has happened several times in the past few weeks.
Not sure what or if I am doing anything wrong.
How can I permanently detach an app from showing up in Market?
What could be causing the app to show up in Market after being detached using Titanium Backup?

I've been experiencing the same thing with the most recent titanium and play store - apps will detach for a day or two but they will still have updates in the "my apps" section.
Interestingly enough, when I get notifications for updates it doesn't mention the detached apps. Haven't figured out a fix yet...

Why not just turn off notifications and auto-updating in the Play Store, rather than trying to detach all your apps? I haven't quite found a time when detaching from the store is a benefit, other than if you share apps with people.

I never auto update for example, for a while I didn't want to update Google Wallet because you had to change your build.prop back and you could screw it up if you had it working. I like getting notified when updates are available for all my other apps, and just hitting "update all" in the Play Store when I have some time to let it update. Unfortunately, since I couldn't detach Wallet, it would always try to update with the rest of my apps whenever I hit "update all". Detaching it from the market would be perfect in this situation
