[Q] New Android Market & Amazon App Store - General Questions and Answers

I have an Evo 4G with Myn's TwoPointTwo Rom installed and I just noticed that with the new style Android Market that came out a few days ago I can update Amazon Apps from within the Android Market. Well... actually the update button is there...I haven't actually tried it yet. Now, the Amazon apps I have installed don't show up in the My Apps list in the Android Market, but if I search for an app, then it shows me the update & uninstall buttons. I was wondering if anyone else has noticed this or tried updating an app? Can you tell me what happened? Did it work? Did it break the app?
Thanks.

Is anyone else at least seeing this, or is it just me?

how to get new android market, mine still old one

Mine showed up two days ago when I cleared the data for the Market application. Then after opening the Market app about two more times, it was updated.

Market as separate app

Hey people, I rebooted my phone this morning, and then opened up an app I use called "AppMonster" (previously "AppManager"), which shows me all my installed apps and allows me to uninstall them or backup, etc.
I sort the apps in date order, meaning at the top it shows me the latest app i downloaded or updated. At the top of the list today I saw the official android Market app, which I myself did not update, because it never showed up in this app list before, in the same way as GMail and other built-in android system apps. Now it's giving me an option to uninstall the market.
Has anyone else noticed this? Is this another silent update that happened in the same way as the UK Google Maps got updated by itself with navigation recently?
BTW this post isn't because I'm having an issue or anything, just wondering if anyone else has the same thing?
Regards
You could search for Market in /data/app/ directory. If there is com.android.vending.apk , then you are right - you have updated version of Market.

GM wasn't updated silently - that was misinformation spread by Engadget. But Market has its own updater, so it might be updated differently than other apps.

[Q] Android Market Missing Some Apps

I did the Market fix and was able to get access to a somewhat working Market.
I signed on with my main account where my Nexus One's apps are also tied to but when I went to 'My Apps' in the new Market screen, there were only two listed... No Signal Alert Pro and Battery Indicator Pro.
They're both paid apps, and I can't find any of the others through searching for them either.
LauncherPro is missing, as is the other 112 apps that I should be able to find. Angry Birds is missing too, even though I never downloaded it in the first place.
Is there any way to get around this?
EDIT:
I'm also unable to download AppBrain through the browser or through my computer. I might be able to get some more of the ones I want back if I could.

It worked!
Well, sort of. I got all my paid apps back, that's really good! But, all the rest of them, my free downloads, are gone still (I was looking in 'My Apps').
I just searched for LauncherPro and that's there.
So, there are some free apps in the Market (though, I downloaded this one to my Nexus One, and since they're on the same account, shouldn't it show up there too)?
YouTube also doesn't show up in 'My Apps' either, and it is obviously on both my phone and my GTablet.
You have to remember your Nexus One is Market approved the G Tablet is not Market approved as of yet.

Yeah, and that's a bummer...
Anyway, during the last few hours, I was able to get Appbrain onto my GTablet using the Market (searching for it actually made it come up).
Then, using their website, I added all the non-GPS-or-Phone-type apps to my new 'GTablet' list and they downloaded and successfully installed (this was after doing a single reboot)-- they all also showed on the Market too.
I got LauncherPro back (too bad, I might have to pay again to get the Pro features back) and most of the other cool apps I had before (minus the phone-related-or-GPS-location apps).
Except for:
TV.com (as someone else mentioned; too bad I loved watching this on my Nexus One)
TubeMate (the regular site works well enough through Skyfire )
Nexus Revamped Live Wallpaper (I'll find something cooler, like in that thread around here)
and that's it. Everything mostly works (had to remove a few that just gave black screens, only 3 of them) and you can see my app list right here:

Market acting weird

Hello,
I've noticed a huge problem with the Android Market. This never happened when I first got my Nexus S, it just started happening. A few days ago I uninstalled Angry Birds Rio from my device and when I tried to reinstall Market wouldn't show the app. So I shrug it off and open up market.android.com on my laptop and tried to install it from there. But it didn't work. It said "This item cannot be installed in your device's country.". I live in the Maldives. I thought it had something to do with money or something and it was Rovio's (Angry Birds maker). I decided there was nothing I can do because, well, some people don't even know my country exists. But today the same thing happened again, I accidentally removed "Pulse News" app and went to the market and the same thing all over again. Didn't show up in the market app so I checked market from browser and it was there and the same message came up. Lots of apps disappearing from the market, the same message when I try to install using browser. Even when I scan QR codes to go to direct market links it doesn't work. Surely this has to be a bug of some sort?

Try clearing your data in settings>applications>manage applications>all>scroll down to market and clear data and see if that helps.
If it doesn't work there's a good chance that you really can't download it from your country.
Or
Google did say that the android market will be getting updated in the next couple of weeks and that may be causing the issue.

Yeah I already did that, didn't work.
Looks like I'll have to wait and see what happens.
EDIT:
Ok this is crazy!!! I can't even install ADW! There has to be something seriously wrong!
I've had some issues with the market as well. Are you getting a download unsuccessful error. I fixed this same issue with a new password and a factory reset (I changed my password FIRST!)
Sent from a bird cage, with a swing!
Market Tech support is full of this problem :/
over half of the installed apps don't show in My Apps on the phone
many i can't install, funny thing is doubleTwist via market.android.com gives me that "your device's country" popup, while Market installs it just fine
paid apps i already bought and have on my phone are now marked as not supported and don't show on Market or in My Apps....free don't show in My Apps....meaning no updates to 25 out of 40ish apps installed
Top Paid disappeared from market.android.com....Featured on web and phone now features only 5 apps
whatever they did, they really did it badly
updates, hard resets, any changes to my phone are now not an option until this is fixed :/
This has happened recently in my country(UAE) too. Heaps of previously available FREE apps are now no longer available on the market. Bad enough I can't access paid apps now, I can't access all the best free app. Google has forced me to using this fix for this, use Market Enabler or some other SIM emulation app to trick Market into thinking you're in the US. This requires root. The non-root option is to use an alternative black market(with all the risks).
@babydoll25 no i am unable to even initiate a download.
Google really needs to fix this. A lot of apps I used to be able to install no longer show up in the market and am unable to install from the website either. I don't want to root my phone (not yet anyway) to be able to install free apps. I already tried changing my password but that didn't work and don't think a factory reset will fix it as my brother's Nexus One has the same problem. I think this started happening recently as when I first got my NS I downloaded all these apps. Now they are gone. I find no reason apps like ADW launcher should not be available globally!
Anyone know if Google responded to this issue?

[Q] Apps missing from Downloads tab in Marketplace

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...

[Q] Missing Apps in Marketplace

I've been searching for a couple of apps (Kayak, Delta and CNN) and they can't be found. I tried searching the market via my desktop browser and they're not showing there either. Has anyone else noticed anything weird today. I just installed one of these yesterday, but needed to reinstall after a flash. All my other paid and free apps are just fine.
Maybe they got pulled to update or something, they are still there at http://www.appbrain.com/
I just checked on the web market and they were all there.
That's really strange. They're not showing for me on the web market and I tried from multiple computers while not logged into my account. I was able to get them from AppBrain so at least I have them now.
could be because of the flash i know for my xperia a lot of apps for other phones were not available on the market for me because i was running 2.1 stock
