Installed apps won't show in "my apps" in play store? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've noticed that several installed apps that run perfectly on my phone are not anywhere to be found in the "my apps" section of the play store? I've checked all the tabs, nowhere?
WTF?

Yes, all via play store.
The name is correct. Shows up in my apps but nowhere in the list of my apps on the play store.

TitaniumBackup has an option to attach to Market (tap app > swipe left). Maybe try that.

[Q] Apps not downloading

I don't use my A700 all that much but I have noticed recently that none of my downloaded apps from the play store are automatically updating as they used to do. I have done a search of the internet and found others that have had a similar problem but none of the fixes have worked for me.
I am using Adroid 4.1.1, kernel version 3.1.10+ and build number Acer_AV051_A700_1.052.00_PA_CUS1. I have checked for updates but the tablet says none are available.

First off, I moved your post to Q & A forum.
As with your issue, going to Settings and checking for updates, is only for the Operating System, Not for apps.
Several changes to the Play Store in updating things. You can open your Play Store (old Market) and select your Installed Apps icon. This will tell you what apps need updated, and you can d it from there (best to have a good Wifi connection as I think you have many updates).
As with Auto-Updating, I believe each app you have installed has this available as an option. Normally, I select it when I install an app from the Play Store. So check your Play store options.

Thanks MD
I guess that is where the problem lies. I go to Play Store but I cannot find a Installed Apps icon.
I went to settings and see "Auto-update apps" under the General category does not have a check mark next to it. I tapped it and made sure that "Auto-update apps at any time. Data charges may apply" is checked. Still no updates.
Thanks for your help
I´m not quite sure but I think I have a similar problem: Each time I want to install/update an app I have to kill all Google tasks in settings. I am on stock 4.1.1 rooted.

With Play Store, select the "down arrow" in the upper right corner. This takes you to "installed apps" and "All apps you have downloaded. Go to Installed Apps, and you can manually update them. Also, if you select an app, you can select auto updating. :good:

Don't have an answer for that one. However, you can kill the auto sync in quick settings rather than going directly into settings.

Thanks MD, that helped things along. I completely missed the "INSTALLED" at the top of the screen which does not surprise me in my advanced age.
Autoupdate is enabled for all of my apps but I still don't see the downloading being displayed in the lower right corner as I used to see in the past and a notification that an update for an app had completed. Maybe I am being impatient.
Thanks again for your help.

is it a licensing thing between amazon and nvidia about getting the app store to work or just amazons slow process of adding device compatibility?

The second one I'd think.
There is a way to access "my apps" press Y on the Nvidia Shield and that will bring up the menu just as it does on phones that have a menu button...you can access more than just "my apps" as well such as settings adding gift cards etc.

Is there an App that Backs Up Market Links to Apps?

Really? Can you tell me how google play store saves your apps? I'm thinking about rooting my phone. And I want to restore all the apps I had after I root it.

Open the play store, press the 3 lines on the top left, select My Apps, and then All. Or do it on your browser, go to the google play site and click My Apps
not found such one yet

But that shows all the apps I ever installed. I want back the apps I got currently installed. Not the ones I had previously.
Got to playstore> My apps It shows the apps which you've curently installed. And the 'All' section shows the all apps you've ever installed in your device. If you really want to keep a track of all the apps besides this method, take out a notebook and start writing them

Google Play Store not Downloading Apps

Hello,
My dad bought himself a Mate 9 Pro in China and brought it back home today. I've installed the GMS from the HiApp app store and downloaded the Google Play store from there as well.
When I try to download apps from the Play store, the apps won't download. It continues to say "downloading" but no progress is being made.
I am downloading apks in the interim, but would be much more convenient if I could take advantage of the Play Store.
Am i doing something wrong? The build number is b156, if I'm reading it correctly.
I've tried:
- Deleting cache and data from Google Play Store
- Reinstalling GMS
- Allowing unknown sources for app downloads (i.e. from places other than HiApp) and app installations.
- Granting all permissions to Play Store and Play Services
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Check the permissions in the app settings, make sure Play store has access to internal storage. I just allowed all permissions for the play store and any google related services.
Do not try anything else. I have tried all kinds of solutions including the ones you listed above. Just be patient and wait for system update to solve the problem and download some 3rd party store like apkpure as a temporary solution

I forgot to mention that, but yes, I did grant all permissions to play store and Google Play services, but I'm still having issues. Thanks for the response !

Yeah, I may just do that for now. My dad doesn't use that many apps anyway so I can probably just download the rest of the apks he needs and install them manually as well. Thanks!
