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.

In Titanium Backup - Market Doctor will break market links.
Any free solution?

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.
So after turning my phone on today, I can no longer see the previous free applications that I had installed on my phone.
Is there a known reason for this or I'd something wrong?

This happened to me once, I opened the Market app and there were purchased apps only.
You need to have root to do this, but it's save.
First, clean the cache (Cache Cleaner NG is nice, but you can use "Manage applications" for that), then delete all files from /data/dalvik-cache/ and immediately reboot. Hopefully, problem will be solved.
Be aware that the system will be booting longer than usual - it needs to recreate all the cache. You may gain some space in your phone memory in the process.
Cool, thanks. And yea I have root so ill go and get the application now.
Ill report back when something happens.

Well I coudln't get that to work but I DID find an alternative just in case anyone else has this problem.
Basically, Google only follows your paid applications, not the free ones. So when you re root and start over again and if you restore from Titanium Backup, you're technically not installing the applications from the market, hence them not showing up.
I found a program called aTrackDog, which is free, and actually checks to see if your installed apps (whether they be from the market or not) and if there is a newer version on the market, it gives you the option to download and install.
Again, the app is called aTrackDog and I'm using it now, looking good to me.
AppBrain's App Market will do the same thing when you sync it, just to throw in there.
Happens to my rooted aria all the time. No need to wipe davlik just open settings/apps then find market and clear cache, market will then rebuild links. And TBP will most definitely restore links to market despite claims to the contrary above

Thanks for posting, ill clear the market's cache right now. After I clear it is there anything else I.have to do or just wait a while?
And what is tbp?

Hmm, cleaning just the cache did nothing immediately, that's why I assumed I need to delete dalvik as well.
TBP - Titanium Backup Pro, I think
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.
I'm using the latest GB release from jcase and it seems everyone is using TiBU to restore their apps, but I'd like to have Google automatically restore them from the market. Anyone have any suggestions on how to do this?
Thanks.
Well the procedure would be to go to the Market on your phone, and look at My Apps. I believe if it recognizes the updated phone as the same phone, all your downloaded apps will show and/or start updating. If they don't show up in My Apps, you can always sign on the web market. The downloaded apps will be listed there under your account, and you can push them manually... not automatic, but only a few clicks to get them all back.
I went to settings/ applications/ market/ force close and data. Everything restored.

Depends on how you have your phone setup...
I think its if Settings -> Privacy -> back up my settings... and the other one there are checked, that the apps will auto come back down if you wipe or flash your phone and reset it up with the same ID. (Not always the best option to have enabled when you are wiping your phone because an APP is causing a problem.)
Another alternative... Appbrain Market... if you install it and sync it, it keeps track of your apps. You can use it to remember and trigger installs of all your Market apps. You can also view/edit/copy your lists from your PC.
If you use the Amazon App Store to purchase/install apps, it keeps track of your purchases and Free installs. But remember that those are NOT seen as purchased via Android Market, so you'd need to use Amazon App Store to install those "paid for" apps first, otherwise if you try to install via Android market (like when using Appbrain) you'll be purchasing them again.
I end up using a combo of Appbrain and Amazon's app store.. So after wipe and add my accounts, I install Amazon's app store, and install any purchased(or free app per day) apps from there. Then I install Appbrain to install any Free/Purchased apps from Google Android Market.
I cant seem to completely restore apps after flashing a new ROM. I will put in my password at first boot and I select Restore. It starts restore and then after one or 2 installation, it starts throwing errors saying there isn't enough space on the card. I know one solution is to clear the market data and then it installs fine. However, Once the app restore errors out, there is no way to start it again. So, Is there any way this is possible? I cant install any new ROMs since my apps wont install . It used to work just fine!
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you.
It is an issue with the size of the market cache. If you are simultaneously downloading too many large programs you are destined to get the "out of memory" error. I have had this on every Android phone I have owned and there is no way to get around it. Limit downloads to two or three at a time max and you should be okay. Yes once the market bombs out on restoring your apps, it is gone. But what I do is log into the Android Market on my web browser and you can see all the apps you have ever downloaded to any device under your account settings. You can then request the app download and install from the web. Just make sure your phone is on and connected to Google data. If it is not, Google will install the apps the next time your phone is logged into their servers.
Did you try APP MONSTER?
