Hello, I recently purchased my parents a use Viewsonic G Tablet upc300-2.2 the market on it is completely different and doesnt have a lot of the apps they they wanted so i sent them a .apk for the new market, they installed it and replaced the stock market but now it wont run and keeps force closing. Any ideas? thanks in advanced
Have you tried doing a market "fix"? See this thread, Part 3 explains how to do it, just ignore the stuff about updating flash player.

To this forum and those that work hard I first want to say thank you very much. From rooting my Droid 1 and now my Droid 2 I came to find this site and love it.
I now have a Gtablet and followed the detailed directions for rooting. I installed Vegan 5.1 and loving my tablet. Followed the market fix and was just wondering will all the apps in the market show up? When I go to the market only certain apps show up. I have done the market fix 3 times and still the same apps.
I was able to get most of the apps to show up - Launcher Pro, Titanium Backup, Dolphin HD and a lot more. Some would only show up for me before the market fix - Firefox, Samurai 2, Vendetta Online, and some other Tegra games. I didn't look before I did the fix but I can't find Google Earth after the fix either.
I personally tried doing the Titanium Backup market fix as well as the one by clearing market cache and google services framework manually, stopping both, etc. - neither helped no matter how many times I did them to get any more apps to show up.
Not sure if anyone can help get more apps to show up on the market regularly like Firefox and Samurai 2.
I'm running the stock "Woot" ROM (which is probably vanilla 3588 with some pre-installed apps, but I can't be certain) and have installed the Market and done the standard "market fix."
I'm able to browse the market, but the website insists I don't have any device. However, the website *does* show things I've installed as "installed." I believe that may be from when I was fiddling with TnT Lite earlier, but can't be sure.
I noticed in a thread about editing build.prop that doing so may break website updating, but I've never had that in the first place. That means that any time I do a market fix or switch ROM's that the Market doesn't know about any previously-purchased apps. I might try risking $1.98 and purchasing something then seeing what happens if I try purchasing it later.
Like others, I'm frustrated by what doesn't appear in the Market that I think should: Firefox and Google Earth in particular.
I think ive found that clicking on a link to an app will open it even if its not found in the search. there was an app i couldnt find earlier but it was there when i clicked a market link to it. installed just fine
If you want Firefox to show up after the market fix is applied you need to edit the build.prop - discussed a bit in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1017368
It also will show up before the market fix is applied. I am also having web market problems - no luck there so far.
Regarding Google Earth... never been able to see it in the market. I went as far as searching for the APK to sideload and it simply wouldn't work. Not sure why - it just froze when opening. I am guessing there is some sort of incompatibility with the gTablet...
I recently put cm7 on my moms gtab, and I found google earth in the market and it runs just fine

I never tried to find Google Earth after editing the build.prop. Just did and it was not only in the market but worked great. Maybe CM7 uses a different build.prop by default than vegan 5.1.1. I must have side loaded an old copy before when it didn't work.

Wrong! Paid applications are tied to your Google Account. As long as you log in to your Google account, all your paid apps are available to you in the Market application. However, if you are using a fingerprint in build.prop that Google does not recognize, your paid Google DRM protected apps will not show up; however I believe all ROM's are using a recognized fingerprint (Nexus 1 on TnT-Lite) so we don't have to worry about that.
Hello,
I've noticed a huge problem with the Android Market. This never happened when I first got my Nexus S, it just started happening. A few days ago I uninstalled Angry Birds Rio from my device and when I tried to reinstall Market wouldn't show the app. So I shrug it off and open up market.android.com on my laptop and tried to install it from there. But it didn't work. It said "This item cannot be installed in your device's country.". I live in the Maldives. I thought it had something to do with money or something and it was Rovio's (Angry Birds maker). I decided there was nothing I can do because, well, some people don't even know my country exists. But today the same thing happened again, I accidentally removed "Pulse News" app and went to the market and the same thing all over again. Didn't show up in the market app so I checked market from browser and it was there and the same message came up. Lots of apps disappearing from the market, the same message when I try to install using browser. Even when I scan QR codes to go to direct market links it doesn't work. Surely this has to be a bug of some sort?

Try clearing your data in settings>applications>manage applications>all>scroll down to market and clear data and see if that helps.
If it doesn't work there's a good chance that you really can't download it from your country.
Or
Google did say that the android market will be getting updated in the next couple of weeks and that may be causing the issue.

Yeah I already did that, didn't work.
Looks like I'll have to wait and see what happens.
EDIT:
Ok this is crazy!!! I can't even install ADW! There has to be something seriously wrong!
I've had some issues with the market as well. Are you getting a download unsuccessful error. I fixed this same issue with a new password and a factory reset (I changed my password FIRST!)

Market Tech support is full of this problem :/
over half of the installed apps don't show in My Apps on the phone
many i can't install, funny thing is doubleTwist via market.android.com gives me that "your device's country" popup, while Market installs it just fine
paid apps i already bought and have on my phone are now marked as not supported and don't show on Market or in My Apps....free don't show in My Apps....meaning no updates to 25 out of 40ish apps installed
Top Paid disappeared from market.android.com....Featured on web and phone now features only 5 apps
whatever they did, they really did it badly
updates, hard resets, any changes to my phone are now not an option until this is fixed :/
This has happened recently in my country(UAE) too. Heaps of previously available FREE apps are now no longer available on the market. Bad enough I can't access paid apps now, I can't access all the best free app. Google has forced me to using this fix for this, use Market Enabler or some other SIM emulation app to trick Market into thinking you're in the US. This requires root. The non-root option is to use an alternative black market(with all the risks).
@babydoll25 no i am unable to even initiate a download.
Google really needs to fix this. A lot of apps I used to be able to install no longer show up in the market and am unable to install from the website either. I don't want to root my phone (not yet anyway) to be able to install free apps. I already tried changing my password but that didn't work and don't think a factory reset will fix it as my brother's Nexus One has the same problem. I think this started happening recently as when I first got my NS I downloaded all these apps. Now they are gone. I find no reason apps like ADW launcher should not be available globally!
Anyone know if Google responded to this issue?
I just recently got the android market update to 3.3.11 and when i try to update apps or view my apps i get a fc. Just wondering if any one is having similar problems, and if there is a work around?

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!).
I have a brand new Galaxy Tab 2 7.0.
When I touch the Netflix app icon(either on the home screen or apps menu),
it just takes me straight to the Google Play Store. The only option there
is "OPEN" and if I touch that, it takes me to the same page over and over.
Since the Netflix app came pre-installed with the tablet, I can't uninstall/
reinstall it....
All other apps(either pre-installed or downloaded) work just fine.
Any ideas on why it's doing that?
Thanks for your help!
You could root it..
Did you clear its data?
Did you uninstall updates for Netflix?
Go to applications in settings and click on the Netflix application. Click uninstall updates and clear data. Try again.
I as well just got my self a galaxy tab2 and applied the update that was available last night. Playing more with the tab today i am having the exact same problem with Netflix. When opening netflix it goes to the play store instead of the opening the app. Like the OP since this is a pre-installed app we cant uninstall and there is no update available. Does anyone have a solution to this, its my wife's tab and she doesn't want me to mess with it but I'm already considering doing that. (also will help with de-bloating it)

I solved this by returning to factory default. (which wiped everything and
started from scratch) After that, Netflix works perfectly!
Back up everything before doing a factory reset, of course.
