[Q] What happened to the Nytimes app? - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After updating to JI6, I'm unable to download and install, sometimes even to find on the market, the Nytimes app.
Perhaps it's connected to my flashing the upgrade via Odin after my OTA attempt failed and I lost all my prior apps and data.
In all events, is there anything I can do to get it back?

Since I rooted my Droid Eris and installed a Froyo rom, I have been unable to find it on the market as well.
I found an older version of it and installed it, but it crashes every time I open it.
I wonder if the app doesn't work on froyo and that's why it's not on the market.
It was on the market as of last week, before I rooted the app and installed Froyo.
I hope someone else can find more information about this.

I have it on my phone running 2.2 - version 1.6.8

I have it too
On froyo 2.2

I've checked the market again (searching for nytimes) and it did not appear. I've installed a few other apps from the market with no problems.
I read that at least one other person was having problems searching for specific apps (although not the nytimes) in the market using the same rom that I'm using, Tazzfroyo I'm guessing that might be the problem for myself, and the same type of problem could be it for the OP as well.
I'll keep you updated.

a ROM does not effect how the market behaves. Google does.
You might be living in another place where the NYTimes app is not being released, for country reasons.
There are apps that others cant see but you can.
There's a app that lets you see all forgot name though

Try this as well as dl appbrain. Some rare occasions I cannot find an app so I browse though appbrain and it links me to the market download. I actually had to dl it with the xda tapatalk app and the sirius app.
Sent from my Axura injected voodoo possessed Vibrant.

Thank you for your suggestions and help.
After clearing the market cache and rebooting; and then installing appbrain [although it did appear in appbrain], The NYTIMES still did not appear in the market.
I then ran the Eris Market Fix (the newest version, v1.7) rebooted - which fixed my problem ! nytimes app finally appeared in the market. =)
I'm in the US so I don't know why the app wouldn't appear in my market before running the market fix...

[Q] apps Update problem

After moving to 351 update (15609)
my apps were washed away. (thats ok, as I had too many apps installed anyway!)
Now, I have apks of all the softwares I had before, and which were useful.
Some are paid ones, of which I do not have the installer apks
For the free apps, which I installed without logging on to market, I am not able to see any update menu!
and they are not showing up in My apps (part in market) either.
-the "market" app has changed too (from what it was before.)
Help please.
Thanks,
Sony.
Another issue!
I see some notifications stick around a lot longer! (irritating!)
"Battery full Please remove charger" stays on for like 15 seconds.
Bluetooth voice dialing works well,
Wifi works with much better success rate of connecting!
MODs: Please rename thread as "Problems with 351 (15609)" or something similar.
Sony.
Note: I have already tried the Clear Cache solution.
_________
Damn: I tried to "Uninstall Updates for Market" in applications menu.
and now, the Market looks primitive!
whats wrong here!?
By uninstalling the market updates you went back to the oldest version of the market.
I can't help you with the apps, but it sounds as if you might need to flash your phone again.
Now new thing!
Today the phone got stuck at the lock screen (long time!)
then I restarted it through Power button long press.
Then the Dell logo kept coming again and again.. and it didnt boot~!
So, I removed the battery cover, and rebooted. then it was fine! (yikes)
I am on stock, no roots, no nothing yet!
Even the default update can cause problems?(Oh, I had not rebooted the phone since 2 days.. but I have gone longer before.. without the phone getting any slower!)
One thing is definitely mentionable though,
The battery life has been exceptional!!
Full charge in the morning (6 am - unplugged)
And, decent browsing (FB + gmail) + 40-50 mins of calls + games for 30-40 mins
and by 7 pm I still have 68% battery
That has been the case for past two days (since I upgraded 318 to 351)​
@Strephon Alkhalikoi
you suggest, I flash the phone again?
hmm. Ok, will try that if nothing else works.
Any other suggestions on the table?
One more thing
I had used the Dell Backup and Restore > and used system settings restore too (in the options)
Just thought of putting it, as thats the only thing thats between the flash and the current problem. << (any relation?)
Help appreciated!
Sony
Re-flashed!
WEll,
i am officially going nuts!
I flashed the 351 update again.
everything nice and sweet..
But, hey!
Market is still behaving crazy!!
and App brain or anythin is also unable to do any good!
Guys! Please help!!
The Market is not showing apps, which I install off my SD card apks!!
whats wrong!?
Bonkers,
Sony
Anybody, yet?
Hey guys,
anybody ever faced such a problem?
Anybody know any solution ( that I havent mentioned in above posts? ).
Highly appreciate the help!
Sony.
When you install apks, they won't show in the market. You'll need to use an illegitimate market to show all installed apks (search google).

I did search google extensively!
My method of installing has a name: sideloading, (right?)
and, I see, that it 'does' show in the market for other guys!
and, Google search shows this as a sync-market issue!
people have some work arounds and all, but none is sure shot way of doing that.
I am looking for a solution.
Thanks,
Sony.
Are your free apps not showing up as installed either...
If you are using pirated apps they normally won't show up as installed, much less allow you to update without paying for them through the market.
Any free apps you use, you shouldn't install them from the sd card, rather install them directly from the market....

none of the apps are showing up (free + paid)
No pirated ones. Paid ones (only 2 of them, but, even those arent showing up!!)
About installing free apps from market-
well, that is one solution. but,
my question is exactly the corollary of that!
Why are sideloaded apps not showing up, when they did just finely show up, when I was on 318 !!?
What happens when you guys 'sideload' any app?
Let me know.
Thanks!
Sony.
P.S. People are discussing it on market.google.com/discussions as a 'market-sync' issue! as stated in prev post of mine.
*Sigh!*
Since google released their web-based market interface, the definitive list of apps on your phone (as shown in the market app) comes from the list on the website, which is the list of apps that were downloaded and installed through the market.
If you sideload something, it doesn't appear on this list.
In the past, pre- the web interface to the market, the definitive list was generated by the market app by scanning your phone. Not any more.
The only way now to get the apps to appear in the market app as installed is to install them through the market app (or market website).
Best workaround I know of is to use appbrain's app market. The app in that still scans your phone for the list, and can check for updates, and then uses the standard market to install the updates, so from then on the app is listed in the standard market.
So, basically, to get the apps listed in your standard market app's list, don't sideload.
Now, I just learned of a market backup program that you could have used beforehand, but that doesn't help much now :s.

Small problem with new market

Every since the new market showed up I've been having a issue with it. Sometimes it says i have an update, but when i go into the app to update it wont let me. The only options are to open or uninstall. Any ideas? Thanks.
I've had that issue too, I just uninstall and reinstall it to clear it, but it's still annoying to have it happen.

[Q] Market "My Apps" Screen Shows Up White...

After installing the updated Google+, I started having a ton of data connectivity problems. I was able to uninstall Google+ and that seems to have fixed those issues. The one remaining issue I'm having is that whenever I go to "My Apps" in the market, all it shows is a white blank screen. I can download and install apps just fine (and even update them) but I can NOT get to the my apps screen. I was on Market 3.1.5 when this started. I've tried clearing Market data, market cache, changing Google accounts, clearing cache and dalvik from CWM, uninstalling and reinstalling the market via TiBu (both with and without data) and even updating to market 3.3.11 which is posted in the Apps and Themes section - all to no avail. ANY help would be greatly appreciated.
I'm on Motorola Atrix, CM7 not beta not nightly version with faux123's 1.45GHz kernel.

Been having the same problem here (on two different ROMs) on an HTC Droid Incredible. Have done multiple reflashes; nandroid restores, etc., but since "MyApps" disappeared earlier this week, absolutely zero solutions.
Was banging my head against the wall until I discovered (ironally, of course after Googling) a recent thread on DroidForums about the problem. Nobody has solved it; the new market doesn't fix it. And I can't believe that it hasn't become a bigger deal in the Android community if it's widespread.
One recommended solution I haven't tried is to scrap market and go with AppBrain until Google gets their act together. Another is to freeze Market Updater. Haven't tried that myself.
UPDATE: Okay, now I *have* tried the freeze Market Updater method and that has zero effect. I've filed an issue at Google's site for whatever that's worth.
Try this: go into market app on phone, search an app that is allready installed on your device. Uninstall it with market app and then reinstall it again from market and reboot your phone.
Don't wipe any data or cache! That's very important!
After rebooting go to market and open "My Apps"...no you should see all your installed apps.
This works for me at each time.
Nope. Was worth a try. Meanwhile, engaging with the techie at Google got me the "are you using an OS other than the one authorized by HTC."
Oh, pulease.

sorry i tryed, but my apps remain white!
Same to me :-(
White Applist. Installing new Stock-ROM (Galaxy 2). Apps could be seen. After restore with TB, Applist is white again. This morning on my Galaxy Tab (never touched this): Applist is also white. Bull**t. Using App-Center meanwhile fore updating.

I solved the prob by deinstalling Black Markets on device. After this wipe the data of the Android Market and your Apps will be shown.
After the problem persisted over 3 different ROMs, except an AOSP ROM I just didn't like, I simply switched to AppBrain to get Market functionality.
It'll work until Google fixes the issue.
Try to deinstall other markets, especially "black markets" and wipe the data from the Android Market. It works!
yeah!! thanks. The problem is the black market... searching alternatives markets...

Tried several times, but market changes the file to initial version.
Any clue for fixing it?
If you haven't already, clear the Market app cache and updates, under settings/applications/manage apps. Do the same with Download Manager, Downloads, and Market Updater. Also try cycling the Notify for Updates option in Market settings. This happens on occasion to me as well, sometimes if fixes itself, somtimes not.
You can also try Titanium Backup's Fix Market feature, can't say if this works or not. Otherwise, you can track your app updates via AppBrain, or aTrackDog

People from the thread in the first post have flashed stock and nothing happened. I've been using CM7 when got this issue, now I run MIUI, and only few apps appeared in My apps after first rom boot, but after reboot or even earlier the list become empty again..
Seems that it is Google fault, obviously. People got this on different devices and firmwares, under different circumstances. Though they report that same account works on other devices, but nothing helps to get it work on initail device. May be google stores imei or other info about phone, but I think this is unlikely
Excuse me, I dont understand - Are You lost your market data on one device or on any device?
Are you try see it on other device with same google account? And what are the results?

On another device I can see only paid apps. If going to the Market web site, all apps are showing.
Seems that google doesnt hurry about solving this annoying mess. Really tired of using appbrain to update my apps. on droidfourms there are people who have "lost" their second accounts already... really a fu**ing disaster
Same here!!!! Market my apps list blank
hey ppl even i m facing the same issue...bt when i return back on ma stock rom it shows me da list....as soon as i restore ma apps wid titanium on a new rom da market list is again empty...oderwse da issue is not solved yet...i think itzz google'z fault!!!! anybody facing this type of prob??? or any suggestions???
same issue
I'm having the same issue, but I also can't download any apparently from the market. Market errors on download without even trying to download. Market was working fine until i switched ROM. I've switched to 4 different ROMs on my LG G2X and had same issue on all. I can't download free or paid apps.
I might have stumbled upon a fix tonight I used rom tool box to attach my apps to market then I used the fix permissions tab and bam I had apps under "my apps" which I haven't had in well over a month

I have got my apps to show up after changing rom, but only for a short time. I installed some of my apps and they showed up, but after reinstalling all app they were gone again. I have a feeling that either google doesn't like to show largevnumber of apps(300+ at one time) or it doesn't like a specific app. Oh well, I can still update through appbrain app market.

[Q] Applications and games owned by this account will appear here

What is this error and how do I fix it?
Logging into my freshly hard-reset device via Market I get a white box that states:
"Applications and games owned by this account will appear here"
I THOUGHT I solved it myself by following my own advice:
Clear data and cache.
Didn't work the first time and it seems to be randomly recurring,.... and now it's always happening, which leads me to believe it is a GOOGLE issue.
Just in case anyone else has this issue.
Anyone have any ideas?
I restored from a previously functional backup and still no dice.
It's happening to me, also. Calk's 2.0 on a Sprint S2 E4GT.
Cleared Market cache and data, no dice. Tried switching Market back-and-forth to another Google account, no dice.
Happily, I can still get updates via AppBrain.
I have a theory that it was due to something that I extracted from my CWM backup via Titanium Backup.
Did you by any chance do something similar?
I don't think my theory is in any way accurate. Something seems to be going on with the Google server end. I wish they'd fix it.
find a solution (maybe someone find one BETTER)
i have tried anything to solve this problem but no dice. now i have installed KL1 (wipe version ) and the market works perfectly
i also have heard about many problem with market on KK5..
Interestingly enough, My Apps worked correctly ... once ... after I flashed Calk's 2.0.1a over 2.0.
Still using AppBrain to sync updates.
On evo3d, this seems to be a widespread problem across many phones even on stock software. I've been experiencing for a couple months now. Do you have any sideloaded apps, bootleg or amazon or mikandi? My theory is that the 3rd party apps are interfering with the market. I have amazon apps that show in google market as purchased. I uninstalled everything and reloaded with my titanium backup, marked as sideloaded, worked for about a week then the market started reassoiciating itself with my 3rd party apps and broke again. appbrain doesnt pick up all updates either, I've been waiting for about a week for it to pick up the beautiful widgets update and hasnt so far. this sucks.
try this solution. download and install appbrain. sync your google account with appbrain and then click "sync" on apprain. when sync is finished, open market and now it works . please check this

no no no this damn problem is back. I think it was a problem kk5. I have check rom revo v4
he he, anyone that experieced this problem has blackmart alpha installed
follow this solution:
uninstall blackmart alpha. go to manage application, market>force stop it>clear cache>clear data
go to market accept user agreement
now it will work. please tell me
I have same problem before restore my apps with titanium on XWKK5; so, I think it was an error for use market doctor with system apps, then I clear all market links with Titanium and works, market came back lo list my apps but before install some apps I have the problem again and delete market link doesn't work; when I restore XWKK2 nandroid, market works fine and I never install balckmarket or similars, I've wrote to google support but only says clar cache and data from market, but doesn't work and never responding me ...
PD: Sorry for my english, I'm from latinoamerica
This is definitely a problem which surfaces with KK5.
Upon upgrade to KL1, the problem vanishes. Flashing back to KK5, even factory reset, brings it back.
I've seen my stuff in My Apps just once in several weeks...immediately after flashing Caulk's 2.5 full. Worked correctly once, then everything dissapeared again.

Same here. Flashed Calk's 2.5 full, market worked fine first time I selected "My Apps". Second time I tried, I would get one of the following:
- "Apps and games owned by this account will appear here."
- "Applications and games owned by this account will appear here."
I'm attaching a screenshot. (BTW, tried reflashing the ROM, did not solve the problem.)
EDIT: Posted the issue in the ET4G Q&A section as well
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20504910
I've been running KK2 (Australian) version for around a week and all has been well until today when I've got the same error message.
Had it previously on other versions of KK2 and KK5 but now it's back.
Haven't done anything today to cause it...come on Google, sort it out

I have figured out how to fix this with titanium backup. Basically, you use the remove all market links option then attach each app back with titanium one by one. Pay attention to what apps you add back, excluding any from Amazon app store. Reboot and wait. After about a half a day things will be back to normal

I think it's only available to pro versions. It's actually labeled "Destroy all Market links" in the "market tools" menu item.
