[Q] "Updates available" notification. But there is nothing to update - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Since I flashed 2.3.7 and restored my apps with titanium backup, i have been getting a notification from Android Market on my phone saying that I have updates for 3 apps. But when I open android market there is nothing to update. Everything is up to date, and 1 app is "not installed". Is there a solution to this?
Thanks

I too have this issue. And I am on a non rooted phone.

Have you tried clearing the market cache?

i had this problem before, clearing cache won't work. What i noticed was the i have 3 gmail accounts and for some reason my google market would default to one of my other various accounts. Do menu then accounts, and make sure that its on the right google account you normally download apps on.

I only have one account and still have the issue. I think its a bug with the market app.

Check under the "not installed" section one at a time. Once you tap the app, it will either say update or uninstall

Sometimes the updates hide in there

How do you clear the market cache? I will try that.

Do you have two gmails accounts on the phone? I get that too its usually the market switching the accounts

mine has switched to one of my other gmail accounts a few times now out of nowhere. Maybe it's doing it when the market app silently updates.

That's what is was for me. Although I had YouTube installed, it was also in the "my apps " section in the market under not installed. I decided to hit youTube, and lo and behold, update.

Definitely a BUG in the Market. Happens to me too.

It doesn't say what apps need updating. Also there are no apps listed under "Not installed"
: (

Ok try this market. The problem u speak of seems to have been squashed in this version

Did and Did more then one time non of these helped.
try one of the UN official fbook apps.
I am with Trusselo on this - try one of the unofficial apps. I like FB Black personally, but there are a few out there. Also when I have an issue with it not connecting it is usually because I have changed how I am connected since I first open the app. For example we have six wifi points at my work and if I am walking around the building and go off one onto another then it seems to confuse the app. Turning the wifi off and back on again on the phone and restarting the app is the most I have to do to fix it.
Uninstall fb app. Go to accounts and add fb as a account. After that install the official fb app.

If i do this will facebook add all my friends to my contacts and what not? I don't want everyone on facebook in my phone. Thanks again for the help. Guess i can try and see what happens lol.
Have you tried using the official Facebook app again since when you were having those problems? I have was having that same problem a few days ago too and it went away last night when I gave it a shot again...
I was also having an issue with the official FB app so I uninstalled it, rebooted my phone, re-installed it and now it's working great.

Where did my google account go?

I lost my google account all of the sudden. Is it this rom (BAND 3.0) or a google thing our maybe the MR2.5 radio. I went to check a message in gmail and noticed that it wouldn't open. Then I tried google talk and force close. Noticed on agenda widget that all of my google calender info was gone and went into settings and there is no google account. I tried to add an account and goggle isn't an option. Tried to restart my phone and same thing. Bat pull and still same thing. Now I am late and I wont be free until tomorrow. What happened? Is anyone else experiencing this?

Gtalk is the bloodline of the google services for some reason.
If Gtalk gets jacked everything stops... Try clearing the data on g talk then reboot.

might not be the actual google account....are getting your gmail to your phone? If so, then it is log on...
prob the play store....have you tried clear cache and data for the play store, thru the settings/applications/all applications....look for google play store app...clear the above and reboot then try again...
Okay I'll give that a try, and it is all apps that require my gmail acct, like if I go to settings> accounts and sync, my account doesn't show up
That seems to have worked, thanks man

Similar behavior happened on another Android when I disabled or uninstalled stuff related to Yahoo. I think Yahoo Contacts. I'd go over Yahoo & Google & others related to contacts, email, authenticators etc.
I Defrosted all my frosten apps, cleared Data for the Contacts App then Restarted. No cahnge :/

"Master sync has been turned off" and I can't turn it on

Solved
I'm having trouble with the push service for the stock email. I use the stock email app for my work email which requires exchange, and use dog mail for all my other emails. However I recently lost the push service for some reason (I don't know why). It says the "master sync has been turned off" but I can't find a way to turn it on. In the accounts if I go to them in settings there is a sync icon with a "!" and the message "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly." Does anyone know how to fix this?
I had the same problem on my GS4 a while back, but it spontaneously resolved after a couple months. I don't currently have that problem on the GS4.
The only thing I've done in the time period where this started happening (it was working fine on the 12.2) is that I installed MyPhoneExplorer Client and updated my contacts, but I did this on my GS4 too and sync is fine on the GS4 still.
Both the 12.2 and GS4 are rooted and have no operating system updates.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
Check in your toggles. Should be a sync toggle that is unchecked
