apps not found on market

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.

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.

android market won't show my purchased installed apps

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?

Tronsmart TS7 (aka Glacier TS7) installs random apps without permission

I have a (4GB) Tronsmart TS7 (some times known as a Alps Glacier TS7). It's a Chinese MTK6589 based phone running Android 4.2 purchased from geekbuying.
For the most part the device is stock, there are next to no pre-installed apps apart from the usual, and the only additional apps I have installed are: Playstation, Steam, ColorNote, Shuttle+, Root Explorer DI Radio, Chrome & Gmail
The problem I have is that there are apps appearing on the device that I am not installing. So far it has been the same set of apps that appear:
Mobo Market
UC Browser
TrustGo Security
DU Battery Saver
337 Game Master
GameCenter
(there may be more)
These apps don't start appearing right after a factory reset, but start to arrive 1-2weeks later. They also seem to be packaged similarly; when I say packaged I mean opening them seems to prompt with the same menu & style (accept licence etc) before it gets to the main app. Also, after you open the app from the app drawer it then creates an icon on the desktop. Maybe opening it actually does the installing?
The apps themselves seem to be legit.
I have factory reset the device (twice), and changed my Google password but they are still appearing. They don't show up in my Play store history so they must be coming from elsewhere.
My main concern is that if it is downloading things without my permission, what might it be uploading ? Not to mention wasting my 3g data etc.
So I have a few questions:
Should I be (really) worried?
Is there a way to monitor this? eg connect to a wifi hotspot and packet capture the network traffic? or maybe use a process monitor (the ones I've tried so far haven't shown anything) to see if there is some sort of script in the background?
Can it be stopped?
Thanks in advance, I would be interested to know if anyone else has/had this problem?

I have the same problem.
I haven't tried flashing some other ROM yet, but I guess that is the only way to get it to stop installing those things.

Have you actually found any other roms to install?

For anybody's information:
You may have noticed how you always end up with a 'Tronsmart.mp4' video file appearing in your gallery app. This is damn annoying since it appears twice, once on the internal and once on the external SD card. There is an '\system\app\CopyTest.apk' file which creates both of these. Should be safe to delete it and thus prevent the file(s) appearing
I have actually decompiled this apk. It works as a service that runs when MEDIA_UNMOUNTED or MEDIA_MOUNTED is invoked, and does absolutely nothing else.

I have the same problem, those random apps installing and the video always in my gallery. I have managed to stop tge apps by using a firewall and allowing only my apps that i want to use the internet. I havent found a solution though to fix the problem. Probably tronsmart is spamming its customers...

What Firewall did you use? I might be able to use something like that to pinpoint the app that's causing this.

Sory for the late reply. I am usin "android firewall" free from google play store.

USB debugging disabled stopped it on mine
edit: not that easy, wasn't enough. made some cleanup by disabing/removing some system apps. seems to work so far although there are still some strange events like superuser crashing and right after that system downloader.apk reappearing. haven't seen any other junk coming back
these are the apk's i removed:
systemupdateassistant
systemdownloader
omacp
mtkbt
midtest
galaxy4
fusedlocation

[Q] Websites forcing app install directly from Play store

Hi everyone,
I had a headache yesterday with an app called Zombie tsunami, from time to time it started downloading directly from the Play store without even asking me, I had to clear Chrome data to get rid of it, maybe some javascript, that started this process automatically, clearing cache wasn't enough... I don't remember the website I browsed, but it really suck, I have a Nexus 4 on 4.4.2 Stock.
Did anyone else had a problem like that?
Is there a way to prevent this?

Uninstall the application! Or change "permissions" or use a "firewall" to block internet access.

I did it

I did that, but after I uninstalled, once in a while it started downloading and the notification icon appear, I noticed some sites were showing a confirm dialog to download mobogenie, and this zombie tsunami is also from a mobogenie company.

Fullscreen ad pops up

Hi
A fullscreen ad pops up on my device.
It's not on a particular app, it can pop anytime.
Malwarebyte doesn't seem to find it.
Here's the screen capture: https://youtu.be/0k_6f7Cog_g
On the screenshot you can see that the app has no name :

If you are getting ads, it's from something that you installed, whether you're aware of it or not.
Try this, boot your device to safemode, this allows only the system apps to boot without loading the apps that you installed yourself, if it boots and runs without ads popping up, it's definitely being caused by something that you installed. In this case, you can try uninstalling apps one at time, using the device for a while after each uninstall to see if the ads keep popping up. When they stop popping up, you know they were caused by the last app that was uninstalled before the ads stopped.

Ok thanks a lot for your help. I was able to find the app that was making those ads.
