Hi. I have just searched all threads and I haven't found any solution about my problem.
So, I have WP7.5 (latest version 7740) and my Marketplace doesn't show any updates. But when I find app (I know that has udpate) only then update information on Marketplace's tile shows. Could someone help me?
Bug
It seems to be a bug in operating system...
Sometimes updates appear on its own, and sometimes u need to manually find app in marketplace then it will show update available
Hey so I had the same problem with Marketplace not automatically notifying me of app updates. And even when I went to the apps manually it doesn't give me the option to update, only to share.
I heard you could hard reset your phone but then most people wouldn't want that since it erases all your info and settings. You could also uninstall the app and then install again.
Anyways, I think I've found a solution where you don't have to do a hard reset nor do you have to uninstall the app, so you keep your settings.
1) first you have to download the APPFLOW app, which is an app to browse apps. It's better than the Marketplace anyways so most people already have this app.
2) then just search for the app that you know has an update in APPFLOW.
3) click download from there and it will take you to the Marketplace to download
4) but now, the Marketplace will show you the option to Update that specific app.
** So this fix is still manual and you have to know which apps have an update but it beats hard resetting or reinstalling.
Hopefully Microsoft will fix this in their next major update.

I want to start the Market Updater but since it is a system app I am not sure of how to force start it or if there is an app for this, there are many apps for stopping other apps but none that I know for starting them. My phone is not rooted.
Yesterday when the market was updated I kept deleting it because I was not sure what was going on, I was not given a notice that there was an update or was ever asked if I wanted to update. The new markets icon was not the same and since I am always quick to think something unfamiliar is a virus I kept uninstalling it and eventually took out the battery and restarted my phone (I know I am weird). NE Ways I looked it up on the net and confirmed that there was indeed a new market released and now I want it back so that is the reason for this question.
Please do NOT post or link to the apk, I want to get it through the Market Update app.

search and download in the market named "Startup Manager", once you've open it, you will have three tabs. Go to the 3rd tab labeled "Custom". from that tab you can add an application that you want to start on startup..
hope it helps if i understood your problem correctly..

I'm assuming you've tried to clear data and force close market from settings -> applications?
I got the Market update this morning too and I have not had any problems.
I'm having the same problem... I posted about it twice in the Prime thread to no avail. I have cleared the Market data and also the apps data that I have had problems updating.
It's only select apps (google apps?) that seems to force close the market when trying to update them.
what phone is it? im kinda lost here...im new to this form and would like some help.
.
Yeah, i cleared the data and cache, i even did a full system wipe to try a solve but no dice. Hopefully an update is forth coming that will solve this, kinda a pain not being able to update apps.
Cold boot fixed it for me when I updated to the latest firmware
i assume you did not read the info before installed right?
it's said that 3.3.11 is not working perfectly on Honeycomb tablet's
but now you now

I assume you know that this was pushed silently and we had no choice, right?
Now you know.
I also have some problems with the new Market app. However, it seems to only force close when I select specific paid apps under My Apps. One of those apps received an update, which it luckily installed automatically, and now I can select that app again without a problem. Maybe the Market crashed on certain permission settings that they changed or something. Just an idea.
Btw, it has been tried by gnufabio to put back the previous version of the Market, but that didn't work because of how the apk's are signed or something (correct me if I'm wrong!).
Hey everyone,
Title says it all really over the past few days over several devices and different users in my household we have noticed that Google play store isn't working properly, we are receiving errors, connections issues and general problems overall.
I contacted Google who didn't do much in all honesty and they advised me to clear the cache for the app on my phone and clear data on both app and googleplay services, which I have done but since doing so my okay store loads but I get the error message check you connection and try again.
I have reinstalled the app using the apk on here and still the same problem.
I'm not to worried about it as I'm pretty sure the problem lies with Google especially since its happening in several device (using different accounts and same accounts)
Is there a fix for this or is it Google causing the fault as I have searched the net and found people with similar issues. (isitdownrightnow.com)
Many thanks

Got this one solved for you mate, had the same problem.......... All to do with automatic time and date being out of sync with the play store. Go to time and date settings disable the automatic time zone and automatic time and date. change the date manually to say....the same date but 2013. go back to home, then go back to date and time settings, enable both time zone and time & date auto's, and hey presto........play store's back to normal.
happy days
What do you mean when you say "not working"? Do you get an error message? Does it simply crash/force close?
Did you do something to the devices between the Play Store working and not working? Did you change your internet setup somehow? Did you move to a different country? Did you start worshiping Lord Xenu?
Play Store needs to be a system app. You say you reinstalled it, so I'll assume your devices have root. When you sideload an app it installs as a "user" app. Play Store needs to be a system app. Use whatever app you used to uninstall it to change it to a system app (most root apps that can uninstall system apps have this feature...if what you used doesn't, you can find ones that will, some free). If this isn't the cause of your problem, we'll need more info to help you.

See comment above man........it's related to date & time sync. Easily sorted
Thanks
Hey guys thanks for the replies you were right all to do with the flipping date and time, all working now many thanks.

(high fives all round)
Hey guys,
I'm going mad here on a problem with a specific app.
It's the Harman Kardon Controller App.
I have to use this apps to stream music from my new two HK Omni 10 speakers and in order to configure them as a stereo pair.
As you can see from the reviews on the Play Store, HK totally screwed up the software.
It was hard enough to configure the speakers one time, but now they released an update, that makes it impossible.
There are older versions of the software which you can download from certain other apk-hosting-sites.
With these older versions configuring the speakers is possible again, but now there is a prompt, whenever opening the software, saying 'new software is available' (wanting me to update to the new version that's gonna screw everything once again).
Now, the problem is: Everything else but excepting to update that app is greyed out, so you just have to do it or find a way to trick around it.
Of course I went for the latter
Tried:
- Giving the apk an own signature with ZipSigner
- removing the app from Play Store, there disabling auto-updates, clearing Play Store's data and cache
- wiping dalvik and cache in recovery
- reinstalling the app (from an apk - not from the Play Store)
- before opening it, detaching it from Play Store via Titanium Backup Pro
But none of all these things worked.
Everytime the ****ing prompt shows up again.
The app now isn't shown under My Apps in Play Store, though.
And when pressing on "update now" it doesn't find the new version, but the same one installed at the moment instead
(So I only found a way to making updating impossible, not to prevent the app from checking for updates).
Can you guys think of any way to move around that?
I mean, I assume it still finds the update looking in the Play Store, but still I can't see how.
Maybe it has got something like an update checker on its own?
Maybe just a built-in mechanism to destroy itself for the sake of forcing to using the new update?
Any idea and help is much appreciated!
Edit: Solved.
Had to include a firewall (droidwall) to forbid internet access when opening the program, and then allowing it again, when being in another menu.
Hello dear community,
I updated my LG G8S to Android 12 yesterday. After the update, an app (Hearthstone) that I installed via the Amazon Store was no longer available (the icon on the desktop was grayed out, it is no longer listed under the installed apps in the system menu). If I now go to the Amazon Store and open the app there, it offers me to install the app. If I press it, it first downloads the app, but then doesn't install it. I guess because he notices during the installation that the data from the app is still there. In the Amazon Store, he then changes from "install" to "update". I press on it, download again, then nothing. Probably because he notices that the update is somehow already there. Then it changes from "update" to "open". If I then want to open the app, it doesn't work, probably because Android doesn't know anything about the installation. Then the Amazon store jumps back to "install".
Hearthstone can no longer be installed via the Google Playstore, because Google probably also checks that something is still there.
Presumably the solution is simply to unload the rest of the app. But since Android doesn't have the app on the screen, it doesn't work with it. So I would have to do it manually somehow, but I'm afraid that I'll miss something if I just delete a few folders. Can you enlighten me on the best way to do this?
I installed the SD Maid app. This actually recognizes an app called "com.blizzard.wtcg.hearthstone". When I try to uninstall the app with SD Maid I get the message "The app was not found in the list of installed apps." The app still remains in SD Maid's list.
thanks in advance
Alex
Run SD Maid Pro edition to remove orphaned files and invalid file entries.
If you aren't on an Amazon device download Hearthstone app ( 24.6.154818 update ) from APKPURE.
Both didn't help. When I try to install fron apk Android shows an error, that it is conflict with an existing package.
Do a Factory Reset, but before backup your tablet.

I created an account here as this has to be the worst recommendation ever, doing a factory reset because one app won't install :/
as for the OPs original question, I ended up here as I have the same problem and I too thought there was something wrong with my installation on my device, tried all kinds of cleanup and nothing worked
and stupid me only then thought to check the blizzard forums.... if you look in the known issues post, they are aware there is a problem with the installation from amazon appstore and are working on a fix
