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.
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.
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

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.

I have a (4GB) Tronsmart TS7 (some times known as a Alps Glacier TS7). It's a Chinese MTK6589 based phone running Android 4.2 purchased from geekbuying.
For the most part the device is stock, there are next to no pre-installed apps apart from the usual, and the only additional apps I have installed are: Playstation, Steam, ColorNote, Shuttle+, Root Explorer DI Radio, Chrome & Gmail
The problem I have is that there are apps appearing on the device that I am not installing. So far it has been the same set of apps that appear:
Mobo Market
UC Browser
TrustGo Security
DU Battery Saver
337 Game Master
GameCenter
(there may be more)
These apps don't start appearing right after a factory reset, but start to arrive 1-2weeks later. They also seem to be packaged similarly; when I say packaged I mean opening them seems to prompt with the same menu & style (accept licence etc) before it gets to the main app. Also, after you open the app from the app drawer it then creates an icon on the desktop. Maybe opening it actually does the installing?
The apps themselves seem to be legit.
I have factory reset the device (twice), and changed my Google password but they are still appearing. They don't show up in my Play store history so they must be coming from elsewhere.
My main concern is that if it is downloading things without my permission, what might it be uploading ? Not to mention wasting my 3g data etc.
So I have a few questions:
Should I be (really) worried?
Is there a way to monitor this? eg connect to a wifi hotspot and packet capture the network traffic? or maybe use a process monitor (the ones I've tried so far haven't shown anything) to see if there is some sort of script in the background?
Can it be stopped?
Thanks in advance, I would be interested to know if anyone else has/had this problem?
I have the same problem.
I haven't tried flashing some other ROM yet, but I guess that is the only way to get it to stop installing those things.
Have you actually found any other roms to install?
For anybody's information:
You may have noticed how you always end up with a 'Tronsmart.mp4' video file appearing in your gallery app. This is damn annoying since it appears twice, once on the internal and once on the external SD card. There is an '\system\app\CopyTest.apk' file which creates both of these. Should be safe to delete it and thus prevent the file(s) appearing
I have actually decompiled this apk. It works as a service that runs when MEDIA_UNMOUNTED or MEDIA_MOUNTED is invoked, and does absolutely nothing else.
I have the same problem, those random apps installing and the video always in my gallery. I have managed to stop tge apps by using a firewall and allowing only my apps that i want to use the internet. I havent found a solution though to fix the problem. Probably tronsmart is spamming its customers...

What Firewall did you use? I might be able to use something like that to pinpoint the app that's causing this.
Sory for the late reply. I am usin "android firewall" free from google play store.
USB debugging disabled stopped it on mine
edit: not that easy, wasn't enough. made some cleanup by disabing/removing some system apps. seems to work so far although there are still some strange events like superuser crashing and right after that system downloader.apk reappearing. haven't seen any other junk coming back

Dear Sir/Madame,
I am having a few issues with my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (GT-P5113) and I believe they may be related to apps installing themselves onto my tablet as system apps. I first started to have a problem with my music players – they will play fine until the screen times out then they stop playing until the screen is taken out of saver mode.
Another problem is that I am constantly getting a message that the system update has failed and I cannot update my tablet because I get a message saying my tablet has been modified. Finally, I am noticing that there are several apps that must be stored on my tablet as system apps – one is called sexy wallpaper, another is magic eye and I do not remember the name of the others but they just pop up even when my wi-fi is turned off.
I have tried to do a factory reset and a manual reset of the tablet to remove any apps but after the resets the wallpaper pops up again and the message of system update has failed appears. I have to believe all of the problems are related to the wallpaper app and/or the other apps that have forced themselves onto my tablet.
The other problem with my music players stopping when the display goes into saver began all of a sudden and I have had to change my display to timeout after 30 minutes so that I can listen to music on the tablet. It is not the worst option but it is a huge drain on my battery to keep the display on if I want to listen to music.
After I do a factory reset or a manual reset of the tablet, when setting up my device I have skipped the option of setting up the wi-fi but these apps show up as system apps. I move them to the trash bin immediately and it takes them a while to disappear from the apps or widget screen. I usually have to click on them after I have moved them to the trash bin to get them off the screen.
Also, I get the message that the system update has failed immediately after setting up the tablet following a reset.
I downloaded the firmware and the latest ODIN to do a flash stock ROM but I did not want to do anything until I knew that would be the best next step. Any assistance with these problems will be greatly appreciated.
The first answer to your problem is that happens when you are using a custom rom or kernel or on power saver mode, they set the cpu frequency to get low when the screen gets locked. so, when the screen goes off your cpu starts running on low frequency which is not enough to run music player seamlessly but good enough to save your battery.
Second msg is there because you have enabled root, congrats buddy. :good: so you won't be needing any more system updates from samsung now xda is your official update zone. the system files have been modified and thus system can't officially update.
Un-root is an option but since you are getting random apps installed on your pc, then it might be infected and staying on root is better since you can delete those apps causing you trouble. there are many ways to delete those apps even the samsung update app. You can get rid of. search for system app uninstallers.
or
Yes you can try the odin mode and flash stock rom, it will format and install with default. it's safe and will solve your problems.
I
would suggest you learn more from here, going back to stock and waiting for an official update which will never come out from samsung, xda is a great place to learn. best of luck
Billysam,
Thank you for your reply. So how did it get rooted because I did not do that? The wallpaper app that pops up was not installed on the tablet by me it just started to pop up like a virus. I had installed apps from aptoide (chess, dominoes, holdem poker, etc.) and there are pop up ads that will randomly show up when playing those games. However, I have not tried to modify the tablet in any other way since I got it a few years ago.
The only reason I even did the factory resets was to get rid of the pop up from the wall paper and several other apps that were constantly trying to install on the tablet. Because I do not have the unknown sources box ticked so that I have to verify and approve non-google apps that is the only reason the apps were not installing. However, even with the security protections that I mentioned turned on the apps began installing themselves so that is the only reason I tried to factory resets. I had already tried to do the system update before the reset and I was getting the message that my table had been modified so I started making the connection in my mind that the apps were being viewed as system apps.
I have no problem in going back to stock settings or even staying rooted is that is what has happened -- it is just that I did not root the tablet myself. Knowing that it has been rooted by these apps (or viruses possibly) is disconcerting to me -- I just hope the flash will actually remove them since your assessment has me alarmed. The table is not in power saving mode so if the rom or kernel has been customized again that would have been the result of these intruding apps. Currently, the app does not show but that is because I can send it to the trash and the Wi-Fi has been disabled. Once I enable the Wi-Fi the apps force their way back onto the tablet.
The "Unfortunately, System Update has stopped” message pops up all the time even with the Wi-Fi disabled. Of course that message started about the same time as the apps started installing themselves onto the tablet. I always had the automatic update setting on so I never paid attention to whether the tablet was updating. I just assumed Samsung was sending out updates whenever they were available. I guess, in hindsight I do not actually remember seeing any updates being downloaded from Samsung so your statement about waiting endlessly is definitely correct.
So when you say the Odin mode will install with default do you mean that the tablet will go back to the original factory settings and it will allow for the update to work as normal? Or will it still be rooted and I will need to get any updates from this Xda website? Again, at this point I do not really have a preference either way I just want to know as much as I can before I take any actions.
Another curious observation is that I have not enabled Wi-Fi as I stated earlier and when I go to settings to look at the application manager the only app that it shows is the “Galaxy Tab 2 Screensaver” taking up 23.52MB of space but I don’t know if that is a system app or if it is part of the self-imposed sexy wallpaper app that I had to delete. I ask because all the other system apps do not show up in the app manager under the settings – for instance alarm, amazon kindle, paper artist, playbooks, music player, YouTube, Polaris Office, etc. The Screensaver is of course one of the apps but none of the other 60 apps are listed in the application manager only the “Galaxy Tab2 Screensaver” – I did not notice if this Galaxy Screensaver was already there since I never change the screensaver settings on my tablets. When I compare this to the way the application manager looks on my 7” (GT-P3113) the 7” has all of the apps listed in the application manager.
Also, when I compare the Android Version (4.2.2), Kernel Version (3.0.31-1978026, [email protected]#1, Tue Nov 19 18:37:42 KST 2013) and Build number (JDQ39.P5113UEUCMK3) they are virtually the same. The only difference is the 7” has slightly different Kernel Version (09#1) and Build number (P3113) so I am confused by the initial statement of a custom kernel possibility or modification of the tablet except that the self-imposed app(s) make the tablet appear to be rooted or modified? Does that make any sense? I am not a tablet guy by any stretch of the imagination but I have had to troubleshoot many a laptop plus I have had more than a few Coby tablets that all tapped out of life at some point. The Samsung tablets were actually replacements for those Coby tablets (may they R.I.P.) – in short I am still very confused. Where can I get further help in understanding not the steps to flash the rom but an understanding of what that actually does?

So you haven't flashed anything or tried to root. so you're clean in that manner. But Aptoide seems to be the culprit here.
"Aptoide Anti-Malware platform analyses applications in run-time and disables potential threats across all stores."
So, basically aptoide allows pirated apps, they could even give you access to the malware and viruses and not even let you know about it. So, even if you're installing a safe app like a game which is also available on the google play store(which is the safest place until now) malicious codes could be added to them over aptoide.

What a factory reset does?
It removes all USER DATA and restores the device back to factory settings providing that the device is not rooted. User data is defined as apps, call logs, contacts, and anything else the user has placed in the devices memory. Stuff that is on the SDCARD is not affected by a factory reset. A factory reset really only deals with the Data and the Cache partitions.
So, if your system is modified and you're not on a custom recovery(you get through flashing with odin). it will only delete data and cache, system apps will stay as it is. i.e system files modified in your case.
Unknown sources box doesn't help much either and verifying non-google app won't work since aptoide has already the permissions to allow.(that is how you could even get a pirated app installed through aptoide in the first place. makes sense? then the malicious apps also gets way in and use scripts to get into root)

Yes, it's not a power saving mode, and kernel isn't modified either and no, this is not a root induced by you, but it's malicious activity, so don't stay like that.
Flashing stock firmware through odin
wipes/format system,
boot/kernel,
cache,
hidden partitions and rewrites them all like it came out of the box(except data on your external memory card.) It will leave no sign of any apps or hidden codes or any data that doesn't belongs to Samsung. So no root, completely the way you bought it the first time. no need of xda anymore and you can stay without it even making update possible to work. but then you're not getting any more updates from them. but xda here on xda have so much updates if you've seen already.

the reason the app stops, could be because bad, overwritten, conflicting data, or even in case when you're ram is pretty much choked up all apps could start misbehaving and stop responding.
simple test, try deleting system update app's data. in settings- app manager- all apps. if it's because bad data, it will sort things out.
any app under settings-app manager you find that has uninstall option ------ is not a system app.
the apps which you can only disable and can't uninstall ------- are the apps installed on your system partition.
So, don't be confused, focus, first clear data/cache of all the apps that you suspect or is getting stopped, then uninstall the apps which you can, get rid of aptoide, Galaxy Tab2 Screensaver. use google play store or amazon and install apps from them only, or sites which you can trust. if you want to disable samsung update, disable it as well, since it will never show any update anymore and won't be getting stopped.
See how it goes, if problem persists, then we will get over to flashing through odin
Billysam,
I got rid of the Aptoide apps when I tried to do the factory resets so they have been removed and as you say I guess the viruses were already embedded onto the tablet from using those games. Even with all of the Aptoide apps removed I am getting the update failure message and the wallpaper app (plus sometime others) are already on the tablet after the reset. I will look at the Odin flash and I saw the steps on Sammobile. I already downloaded the Odin and the firmware files that match the build of my tablet so I believe I am ready to proceed. Can you review the instructions I copied from the Sammobile website to ensure the steps are correct?
The Sammobile steps are as follows:
• Extract (unzip) the firmware file
• Download Odin v3.10.7
• Extract Odin ZIP file
• Open Odin v3.10.7
• Reboot Phone in Download Mode (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down buttons)
• Connect phone and wait until you get a blue sign in Odin
• Add the firmware file to AP / PDA
• Make sure re-partition is NOT ticked
• Click the start button, sit back and wait few minutes

"Backup all your Important files before doing any troubleshooting"
Yes that's right.
Billysam,
I wanted to let you know that I was finally able to get back to this today and I followed your instructions on flashing the stock firmware through Odin. From what I can tell it worked just as you described – I was able to connect the Wi-Fi, then check the update and that update error did not appear. Additionally, the system loaded music player is working as it was prior to the problem and there has not been any wallpaper application trying to force itself onto my tablet.
I truly appreciate your assistance with everything. I may at some point in the future update my tablet to the latest android platform from the instructions contained within the XDA website. Especially, now that I know the caliber of expertise within the forums.
I believe from what you indicated that will require that I root the tablet to get to the most current android system but I am definitely going to take my time to fully research the steps required before I venture down that path. I will stay away from Aptoide as my app store from this point forward – I never had any problems with those apps previously – still I do not need the hassle since as you said they can be acquired from the Google store. Again, I truly appreciate your assistance.

Glad that you've achieved a new level of expertise yourself. welcome to the community and do spend some time here, there are tons of great stuffs here that will take your android device to heights that no official stock update can give. rooting and getting on a custom rom not exploits your device or is harmful if you truly understand and utilise the power that it gives in your hand. you can take control of your device yourself rather than stay in the hands of malicious app developers and forced sponsored bloatwares.
