[Q] Still not seeing gtab on market

Using stock TnT and I'm still not see gtab show up on my market account, help

So you do not see your gtab at all in your settings like in the pic below?

i don't see mine either. i only see 1 device and it has all the apps from both my Droid 1 and gtab combined into 1 device.

same here.. actually i DID see my gtab on the web market but realized that i wasnt getting all the apps to show up in the market so i went ahead and redid the market fix on my tab and the gtab no longer showed up on the web market and it combined all the apps i had on both devices under my droid 1

hmm i actually did the market fix too about 2 days ago. i reflashed to vegan b5.1 and i noticed that some apps weren't showing up on market so i did the fix. maybe thats what's causing the issue? i'm gonna change the build.prop back to what it was or maybe even reflash vegan again to see if it fixes it.

Mine has gone now. Perhaps the update to pershoot's kernel changed something. That or another attempt at the Market fix (to get My Apps) back.

My Gtab doesn't show up at all, but my rooted Droid 1 (I'm assuming) shows up three times! Unknown device from Verizon... 3 times over. So far I've sent apps to all three devices and received none.
Some other "id" or identifier would be helpful for identifying which devices it thinks I have.

It's also weird that the phones seem to be showing up with no make or model -- likely because everyone I've talked to has it rooted and non-stock ROM'd
The Market seems to "inventory" your apps every so often -- but I'm not sure what the frequency is...
After re-doing the Market fix, the entire "My Apps" section is empty except for purchased apps...often stays that way for a while, then mysteriously everything pops up and works fine...
Sometimes, installing a free app seems to kick start it -- but not always...

I am also observing this issue.
So I gather the problem is that the Market Fix+build.prop fixes we use to get our 95% market apps do their job well, but seem to screw up Google's ability to identify our tablets?
Maybe that's why the Market Fix works in the first place - Google no longer knows exactly what device we have, so it just sends us everything.
Has anybody gotten a Market Fixed tablet to consistently show up in the Android Market web list?
I can't wait for CM7 to mature a bit more and to get some good driver support - no Market Fix required means all this stuff should just work...

Anyone not seeing their device on market.android.com, have you tried flushing your browsers cache?
I can see the emulator "device" I did the Market hack on and push apps to it (although only the very very few apps the device itself can see on the Market app).
I'm curious if flushing the cache of your browse would help. I had to reinstall VEGAn on my tablet yesterday morning.....and the evening before I was able to see it on the web portal to the Market and push apps down. After reinstalling VEGAn it was missing. I tried logging out, logging in on the web, tried downloading a few things from the Market on the tablet...etc....still couldn't see it.
I fired up a different browser on my PC and had to login to the Market with that one and my tablet was listed. After that...going back in on my regular browser I saw my tablet listed. I'm wondering now if I flushed the cache of my regular browser and then tried logging in if that would have shown it.

I have tried a different browser. tried the market fix two more times and still not showing up. not a really big deal for me but it would be cool if this was working.

I tried clearing cache and no luck, stock gtab still not showing up, not up on Android enough to install custom rom's, hope we can get honeycomb upgrade soon...looks awesome.

I think the answer ha been posted elsewhere, but just go into the Android Market app and download an app. Then check the settings app on the web store again. That worked like a dream for me.

That suggestion doesn't seem to work for most people. Definitely doesn't work for me, I tried it several times.

Well, lo and behold, my tablet shows up in the market again!!!!

Mine too now. Looks like Google fixed whatever issue was causing our "market fixed" G Tablets from not showing up.

Must be something I'm doing wrong cause I'm still not able to download, just say's no android phones associated... Hope everyone enjoys the market.

Mine just disappeared. Was listed for the last few days. I just bought something too and it still not showing up as associated on the web market.
Weird..

[Q] Market without the top carousel rotating apps

Hey guys I am having a problem with my Market that hopefully someone could help me with.
So I was playing with my transformer - testing youtube, websites, & downloading apps. All of a sudden the top section of the Market - where it usually has the flash-based (?) carousel of the featured apps - is gone. I believe this occurred after I update Adobe Flash to the latest 10.2.157.51. Don't exactly remember what happened.
When I put the Market widget on the desktop, it keep showing nothing but the autoCAD WS app (See pic). And while in Market, I can't even click on the "Featured Tablet Apps" section. However, "Top Free Apps" section works.
I tried to go to Settings->Applications->Market-> clear data and clear cache but was unsuccessful. Also did a factory data rest but that didn't work.
I have verified with a friend's xoom and he doesn't have the same problem I'm having. He updated to the lastest flash too. So I'm not sure if that's the problem.
I am on build 20110414.
UPDATE: Seems like market is back to normal with the carousel and everything

okay so it's not just me. rebooted my TF 3 times cause i thought something was wrong.
nothing to do with flash though. i installed flash yesterday and the market was working fine up until about 2 hours ago when this happened to me.
something just got screwed up in the tablet market thats all.

i am having this problem right now, so it just fixes itself out?

yea i had my doubts that it was the flash update.
i still don't get how my friend's xoom has the market fully working with the top carousel of apps and feature tablet apps section working.
do you guys also have the issue where the market widget only displays the autoCAD app?

this error is also not letting me open/purchase any paid apps

Just checked mine because I did not have that problem, it loaded up with the carousel and then just disappeared. It must be something to do with android market place.
I can see my paid apps as installed but did not carry out a search to see if paid apps show on the market place when searching.

Now I am having the same problem, it shows the paid app on the market but when you select it, it gives an error saying that details of the paid app cannot be found.

same issue running modaco hr3 - based off 0423 update.

Well don't you think that is totally amazing?
That was the most annoying things i had with my device, some scrolling carousel taking up nearly 40% of the app promoting random apps that were of no interest to me whatsoever
I would have paid money to have it removed!
What was wrong with the 'ordinary' market from phones? where you were told of 'latest apps', 'my apps', 'paid apps', on pages that i could go to if i wanted to by clicking on the link.
Another annoying thing was that worthless market widget
Who would want a widget on their screen displaying random **** that you have no interest in it's just ill conceived garbage!
Why couldn't i adjust it in settings so it would display new released apps from a certain section 'productivity' for example
Because it looks like the best android developers knowlonger work for google, they have all left and gone to work for HTC and sense development

I totally agree with you however I would like to purchase apps too, this bug( or fix, depending on how you see it) has screwed up the paid apps which if it didn't, i wouldn't have complained.
Anyone found a fix yet?

It seems google has been doing something with the market over the last few days, as lots of weird goings on have occured. I'm speculating that a tablet section will be added not too far off in the future, like itunes does for iphone/ipad. The layout has certainly changed over the last few days, that's for sure. Probably just a matter of time before your problems are resolved.

I'm having problems with seeing paid apps in the market as well... they aren't there!
I guess it will be the web market until the market app gets fixed.

Same problem. Im not rooted. Can't install or view details on paid apps.

that would be awesome. but right now i just want a functioning market. that worthless market widget is even less functional when it keep displaying the same autocad app. argh
as some have mentioned before, I'm really hoping that an update to the market is imminent

There's a thread at Google here about this -

[Q] How to stop app update nags?

There are quite a few apps I downloaded from the Market to try, didn't care for and deleted. Now I keep getting nagged to install updates for these deleted apps. Ditto deleted crapware apps after rooting.
Is there a way to stop these nags for apps I no longer have on my phone? And still get update advisories for ones I kept?
I saw a thread about doing this with Amazon's store with a followup that the fix was automatically unfixed on sign-in, but I am primarily interested in deleted Market apps.
TIA for any help and advice on this!

Sounds a bit dodgy. I've never had 1 single update notification for an app that's not installed on my phone. It doesn't make sense.
Something's wrong there. You've got a bigger problem to fix than just some notifications.

What do you mean it's dodgy? I'm not making it up!
It happens all the time.
I have read experiences of other users identical to mine, but no solutions.
Both with Android Market and with Amazon AppStore.
You download and install apps, try them but then delete them, but continue to get nags to update them.
What is this bigger problem you are suggesting?
Thanks for your interest.

I'm not suggesting you're making it up, just that it sounds very unusual. I've never heard of anyone having updates for apps they've uninstalled.
As for the "bigger problem", wait and see if you get any decent advice, but if not then I'd recommend a factory reset.

Solution!
Well, this is amazing!
I stumbled on a totally non-Geek solution elsewhere:
Just Turn off Global Notifications of Market updates --
1. open Market on the phone
2. Press Menu Key
3. Select "Settings"
4. Use the drop down bar in the Notifications area to disable notifications.
I can still see notifications of updates when I open Market, but I don't get bugged and can just pick and choose the ones I use. Plus, I can still set the ones I choose to individually auto-update if I want.
Eureka!
Or am I celebrating too soon?

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
engineermode

[VIRUS or new ads?] Popup ads in most apps

Hey everyone,
I've had my Nexus 5 since its initial release on CyanogenMod or various other stable ROMs. Anyways just today I began seeing these small, but obnoxious ads in-app. I don't download random apps, click on random bs links, or visit/browse through shady websites.
The ads are a wide rectangle near the top of the screen. There's a little x at the top left and an 'opt out' on the bottom right. It leads to a web page that essentially wants you to submit your IMEI, device ID and other information...or download/install an apk to "automatically" opt out of the ads.
I installed a few different antivirus/security apps to no avail of isolating any sort of virus/malware. I then ran the optout.apk through said antivirus apps and it came clean. So against my better judgement I installed the app and opted out, then deleted the application as instructed.
The ads still populate over my screen while using most apps - Google Play, Candy Crush, Whatsapp, Facebook, Snapchat, etc.
I've had Android devices dating back to the Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant and I have not come across anything like this.
*Anyone else having this issue or know anything about it?*
P.S. While writing this post, I tried to include a screen shot but of course now the ads aren't showing themselves. I'll update the post when it inevitably returns.
Thank you all for your attention.

Sounds dodgy mate, I recommend you clean wipe and flash with no app backups restored.

I too had this. i wiped my phone clean, everything. then installed new rom and started afresh. i tried alsorts too but it became a joke.

My friends this happens having installed some apps related to wallpaper and backgrounds ... you maybe installed "aquarium 3d" or "backgrounds premiumHD" of "Pixign"? still come this way ...

What above comment says is true. There are some apps on the Play Store that enforce random ads around your daily usage.
I would recommend clean flashing, using AdAway(you can find on Google) and lastly, keep a close eye on what happens after each app is installed.

Only type of wallpaper app I had was "Premium Wallpaper HD." Looking at its reviews this app is the cause of these popups! . Obviously got rid of it but I will continue to assess the situation in case there are any other apps causing issues. Thank you!

Turned out "Premium Wallpaper HD" was causing this mayhem. I've deleted all traces of this app and will continue to monitor the situation. I'll clean flash a new ROM over the weekend, just in case. Also installed AdAway for any further issues. Appreciate the help. :good:
