running tnt lite 4.0 as of yesterday with market fix. all was working normally this morning. downloaded and installed quite a few apps and live wall papers. this afternoon most of the apps are missing and i can only get 1 live wallpaper. all the other stuff is missing. even the stuff i have already downloaded is missing. performed market fix over and over still same thing. the market seems to be working fine just most of it is gone. anybody got any ideas? am i looking at a complete rom reinstall?
It's happened to me a couple of times...
If you have Titanium Backup installed, just load it up and let it populate the app list...
After that, the Market seems to recognize everything that is installed right away...
It does eventually seem to come back on it's own -- but TB is the only way I've found of "forcing" it to happen sooner...
nope that didn't help. still missing most of the apps. the weird thing is that they were all there this morning and i haven't done anything that would have borked the market.
something else too. the market makes me "accept the terms" the 1st time i load it after a reboot. rebooted 3 time in a row and its the same every time.
Have you tried doing the Market fix again? I've had to do it several times. Even after it's done there are a few apps hat never show up, but most do.
You're talking about apps you've already downloaded from the market so I would definitely try the market fix again and see if that works.

That usually happens when you "Clear Data" on the Market app -- but you say you haven't done that? If so, sounds like the flag isn't being set/stored when you click accept -- so perhaps permissions are borked?
Maybe try rebooting into recovery and doing a "Fix Permissions" and "Wipe Dalvik Cache", then go back into normal boot, accept the terms again and see what happens...
yep done that too. at least a dozen times. and i know i am doing it correctly because it worked the first time a week ago when i rooted and intalled tnt lite the first time and again on saturday when i installed tnt lite 4.0. the market fix worked both times with no issues. now almost all the apps are missing. there are no free live wall papers listed and only 1 pay live wall paper listed. that and only 1 app shows up in the featured list when i launch the market.
i am really trying to avoid a complete reinstall of tnt if i can help it but i guess if i have to then i have to.

yea done that as well. same thing. its very strange. i have been at this for hours yesterday combing through the forums looking for an answer with no luck. i found all of the suggestions mentioned above and tried them with no success.
Ahhh...TnT 4 introduced the problem. I just read in another thread that v4 includes the Data2Loop hack and lots of people are now reporting this very issue...
Will update with the link to the thread which includes remedies...
Update: Link to thread detailing issue -- may want to just jump to the end and work backwards

hmm.... well there it is. thanks man. will revert back i guess. 4.0 sure was fast though.
This happened on my "stock" Zpad. I woke up one morning and it was like it was partially defaulted. I had to accept the terms again and some apps were like they were only newly installed (eg asking for default actions). It was like some database go corrupted overnight (by itself).
That was all about a week or two ago and I haven't had the same problem since.
I began to have market "re do" issues several days ago (On tnt 3.1.2) and have had to fix it several times a day. I think Google has something to do with it. I turned off all Google Sync to Gmail and since last night, market is sticking again.
I have been using it without any problems and suddenly all the apps are gone from the market download and for others the icon is not working anymore.
I use the website Market now. I notice more apps on the website than in the market application. If I download an app from the website it puts it in the "downloaded" part of the market app anyway, so all the updates happen normally. This works for me and I don't have to worry about re-doing the market fix.
Cheers, Mal.
I just updated to the stock 2.2 and noticed the android market app is the old version. Anybody else have this issue? Is there anyway to update it?

I noticed that the first time I ran the market app after the Froyo install, it was loading a different interface. The next time I used it, it reverted to the old one again. I've tried deleting the app date, rebooting, etc, but it never has gone back to the new one.

It will give it time to update. I flashed last night to clear out a few things and the market was an older one and stayed that way for like 4 hours, Then it changed.
After the update, I had the ancient market. After I waited about 5 minutes and checked again, the new interface was installed, no need to clear any data. The ROM must have included the other one and out just needed to update like on the old ROM.

Hmmm. I just browsed the market for quite some time, and it never has switched over to the new layout.
You probably need exit the market first. Try exiting and then restart your phone after a little bit to see if it installs the update. Remember that it's a background update and may not happen immediately.

Would it matter if I was on wifi instead of Edge for this to occur?
I was on wifi, but it shouldn't matter.

I just did a factory reset on my phone in order to attempt to fix the Quick Office problem, the market update, and some other weird quirks. So far everything appears to be fixed except the market. The very first time I loaded it, it was the new interface. The next time it switched right back to the old one.
OK probably stupid, but when I saw people talking about new market I thought it was just the apps available, and since I could get flash, I thought I had it. Now I see folks mentioning different interface? What's supposed to be different on the interface ? I think I have the same one as I had on 2.1
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
What little I saw of it, the layout didn't have so much green color to it, and the top interface was different. I plan on trying to delete the app data for it today and try to get it to update once I go into town and get closer to a tower. Maybe it will finally download and update.
Anyone else still have the old market showing up? It's been several days now even after a factory reset, and even though my phone loaded the new interface on the first run, it went right back to the old and never has updated. I've cleared data and so on, but nothing works. Should I try the "Uninstall Update" button for the market app?

I had this problem...I was told to go to Applications->Manage Applications->All->Market and select "Clear Data". Then reboot phone. This should cause your "Market" to update after several minutes.
This worked for me.

Sorry I just read your post again and you stated that you already cleared data. I am not sure what to try. I cleared data rebooted left the phone alone for about twenty minutes then checked and the market updated.
Just got my new TB after work, logged in and drove home, none of my Market apps have synced from my Nexus S. Rooted the phone and still no apps have synced. Installed Adryn's debloat rom, no apps have synced.
I have "Backup data to Google" checked when I login my gmail account. I've been doing this for years with multiple phones and hundreds of rom flashes and my apps always synced automatically.
Did this happen to anyone else? I can go to market.android.com and push all my apps manually but over 100+ apps is going to take forever.
Does it have something to do with Sense? This is my first Sense phone.
Honestly, I always just thought the backup system only restored the apps if you were moving to the same model device. You'll notice this same thing happen if you flash an AOSP rom later. At least it always did with my Incredible. If I had an AOSP rom, it would restore one set of apps I had installed. If I flashed back to a Sense ROM, I got the other set. So, yeah, I'd wager it's something with Sense. But if what you're saying is right, when you get an AOSP Gingerbread rom on there, they might all come back.
My apps installed automagically.....I logged into the phone at the store and by the time I got home, about 10 mins away, they were installed.
I do remember hearing awhile back that if you went into the market before the app restore started...it wouldn't start. Not sure if that still applies or if it was even correct....but I always wait until my apps restore before I hit the market.

I didn't get any of my apps going from my Incredible to my first Thunderbolt. I just swapped to a new one today and got all my apps back from the TB, but nothing from the Incredible.
I had to download everything myself. If you're worried about missing an old app, etc, go to My Market Account (top right on the browser version of the market). That will have a nice list of old apps for you
I had the same issue coming from a Droid X. When I went from Droid to Droid X everything carried over, but the first time I started the devices it didn't load my old apps. When I rooted using the first method it did. When I rooted using the new method it didn't. It might have to do with opening Market before it starts, but I'm not 100% sure.
Hmm, interesting. I'll just leave it be for the time being, I'll end up wiping and flashing new roms in he next couple days anyways so I'll see what happens.
Mine autorestored the very first time when I wiped/cleared for CM7 test0. Then when I wiped/cleared for test3 they didn't.
Today I received my new shiny Asus Transformer, everything works great except the Market itself...
I can't even download any apps, paid or free. When I try to download any apps, it start like trying to download, but there is no progress on notification bar and it just keep like that.
I reset the tablet several times, also, cleaned the cache of the Market and Framework services, shutdown (restart) several times... nothing
Is this happening to anyone? I searched this forum and performed the steps above, but still nothing...
Please, help
Have you look into My App area, you will see, not installed list of apps. I get that as well...I am not sure if it's a bug or intended. Sometimes, it would stay at download forever. I got to go out and go back into the Market and redo it all over.

Yes, sometimes the apps I am trying to download don't even appear there and sometimes it does. When it says "Installing" sometimes, 1 hour can pass and still nothing... no progress on the notification bar.
In fact, I can't install anything from there, not even using the website version, https://market.android.com/
I had/have this same issue I think its a bug in the market app. I've just flashed the new firmware and it seems to work OK now.
My solution was to press back over and over until I exited the market fully, then start a new instance of it. Works on and off.
Ill let you know if the update solves this issue.

Thanks for the info.
I tried that, still no luck I need to know if this is a widespread issue or not.
I have the EVO and tried to download apps and install them now without any problems.
Also, I have discovered that I can't log in into GTalk either, but I can browse without any issues.

Sounds like an odd issue with your account. Try to check settings, accounts an sync .. and see if anything is amiss. If not, then try to create a new gmail account, and use that to login to market/gtalk. See if there is some confusion as to your phone account and your tablet. Do you have settings>Privacy ticked off for google to back up your apps and sync them? Try disabling if so.
Had same issue and went into settings and had to delete my gmail account and then add it again, worked fine after that!
Thanks for the replies.
1. The Backup and Restore settings are turned off.
2. I have created another Google account and removed the original, still the same problem.
3. The EVO is currently off just in case.
After doing some research, I've discovered that Gtalk have something to do with the Market, if Gtalk can sign in, then the market should works for downloads. If not, then there is a problem.
ok... wtf
After adding a new Google account while replacing the original one, the issue still happened.
Then, I decided for a million times, to make another Factory Reset with my original account again... now GTalk logon and the Market download/install apps
I will keep this thread in mind and report if anything weird happens again.
Android Market hates me. I didn't really want to have to create another gmail account but I have tried every other trick posted and still can't get apps to download.
I had this same problem with my Samsung Fascinate. 3G would download fine but I couldn't get WiFi to work until just recently when I updated the radio that came with the OTA Froyo update plus a new custom rom/kernel. I'm not sure which piece all of the sudden made things work but I was certainly happy. What's so frustrating is that I set up a Droid on the same home network with absolutely no problems from day one.
Amazon App store works fine but many of the apps I want aren't available there. Grrr.

This occurred to me after rooting the TF. I was able to correct it by going into applications and force stop and clearing data on both Market and both google framework services. Then try to restart market, if you don't get a error go back to applications and do it again. Once you get the error reboot, when you try market after the reboot it will ask you to accept terms again and then all is was right again with the world.
I have the same problem. How I can do a Factory Reset?
It was working ok but now it gives an error with the server. Eventually it will download the aplication after trying several times but will fail in the instalation. I have deleted and created again my account with no results.
Welcome to my problem. Another member told me the issue lies with our google accounts and how it syncs up with the market.
I have tried the other methods deleting cache / signing in and out etc. to no avail.
Only solution is to factory reset. Sad thing is it has happened to me 3x in the past 5 days.
I only hope for a solution to this soon.
3 times, that is scary.
Something has surprised me when I upgraded my phone to the new Galaxy S 2 from HTC HD 2 running an Android rom. When I introduced the google account it automaticaly pointed me all the aplications that I had installed in the old phone (free or paid) and give me an easy option to install all quickly. They were identified as my aplications, even they were not installed.
Is this funtion present here? It will remember what aplications I had installed in the transformer before or I will need to look for all of them again?
solution to download apps
press on apps on the home screen. then press on market. this will get you started click on sign in at top right of screen. it should automatically do a sign in with your google account. then go from there
When I first got the phone , when an App had an update on the Store, my HOX would auto update within 24 hours. No problem.
About 10 days ago I did a hard reset. Everything went well and I've verified all settings.
However in the past ten days - no auto updates, as the list of updated apps grows.
I've verified al settings, cleared Play Store cache, cleared Play Store data,
Nothing seems to make a diff. Same holds true whether I am on Mobile or Wifi.
Anyone else's HOX not auto updating?
Suggestions?
Mine has been working fine, noticed it updating a couple apps yesterday. Are you on stock or a custom Rom? Maybe try a factory reset if stock, or a reflash if a custom Rom...

The reason I did a factory reset ten days ago was to address this issue, no joy.
Phone is HT25 and otherwise in great condition.
Two things non standard, not sure if relevant,
I have Fast boot disabled in power settings.
I am using SmartSync Disabler by Jan from here at xda to keep my wifi alive for more than an hour at a time overnight.
No problems with my google account as my Motor Xoom tablet auto updates quite frequently.
Frankly its an irritation more than functional problem. I don't mind updating myself.
Its just that my last hone, HTC Inspire had the same problem for nearly a year. Only thing that fixed it was when I installed Google Play Store apk to get rid of Android Market.
So ya know, new phone here and bothersome to see an old problem hanging around from my last HTC phone.
I can always try a factory reset but that didn't help last go around.

Did you find a solution?
I'm having the same problem...
Here's a few things to try to fix it.
FYI, I run CM10, so my descriptions of how to get to some settings may be inaccurate, but you should be able to do all of these on your phone regardless.
Go to settings->data usage.
Hit menu and ensure that restrict background data is unchecked, and autosync data is checked
Remove your google account.
reboot
add your google account.
Clear data for both the play store and Google Services Framework
Reboot
Final option
Run an RUU to get yourself back to completely stock. See if apps start updating again.
If you are rooted, you can use Titanium Back-up Pro to change the auto update setting.

+1 - I've used Titanium in the past to restore marketplace links, works well. If you can't cough up for this marvellous utility there might be other apps for free that just do this one task. Good luck in any case! :good:
