[Q] apps Update problem - Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

[Q] 2.1 market and AppBrain

After getting the last update on both applications (autoself background for market seems to disable FastWeb installations, and last Appbrain update comes with FastWeb integrated) installing trough the web doesn´t work anymore as always. Also doesn´t work when pressing "perform installs" from the phone application. I´ve tried enabling and disabling FastWeb option and uninstalling market updates data, but still is not working.
Anyone have a clue ???
I think
I saw this problem in another thread - I believe it's a google/appbrain issue and we just have to suffer. Appbrain answered inquiries recommending getting apps through syncing. Sad.
Yes, but also sincyng or other actions performed from the phone (like direct install) are not working. Last version, updated today claims that you must uninstall any market updates present on your phone in order to work as before, but that seems useless to me, as any time you open the market, the update comes again on the background. I liked the app for the possibility of install apps not available on "my" market ( put region/operator or some other strange filters here) but fully working on my phone when installed from AppBrain.
So, to my taste, right now, AppBrain is useless and going to just R.I.P.
Yes, I gave up on it for now - If I understand it correctly, it might be working on some systems and the developers were working on a workaround. Yes, the sync feature isn't fun as it just takes you to the market to install.
If you can get the apk install files, drop them to dropbox.
Good luck.

[Q] Market not showing all apps???

Why do some apps not show up in the Android market on the Archos 101? For example, I use an app called My Backup Pro...it doesn't show up. I searched for Lookout Mobile...it doesn't show...neither does Norton Mobile Security. I searched around but didn't find an answer to this. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
caseym
not all apps will show up... from my understanding, protected apps do not appear. i myself have been looking for a few, and had to resort to side loading them.

Hi guys,
I have the same issue this my archos 101.
I found the solution on another forum:
1- Clear the android market cache
2- Force to stop the google framework service
3- clear the cache of the google framework service
4- Reboot your tablet
This solved similar issue for me
I hope it can help you

Paid Apps Outside US?
I installed v5-final and have done the market fix several times but I only get free apps - NO paid ones. The catch is that I am located in Costa Rica - could someone comfirm that paid apps are only available in North America/Europe. If ALL (free and paid) apps are available everywhere then I have to figure out my problem, if not, I will just buy apps like crazy when I am back in the states (unless someone knows a work-around). Thanks.
I just tried the same thing and now my market app doesn't work. Any suggestions. Thanks
Just fixed it

Titanium backup in use?
i need to ask everyone with this issue, is everyone having this issue using titanium backup, and only seems to have problems after pulling from titanium's backup?
ill give my reasoning for this question...if you are having an issue, with certain apps just vanishing from the market on your phone.... even if you know its installed....
have a look at the list of questionable apps in TB, is there a yellow ball, with NO "M" overlaying it.... this may be the issue... you may have to delete all backup s for said app that DO NOT have a "M" ...wipe that apps data (in TB) and trying to restore from a backup that DOES have the "M"
please check this out, and let me know if i figured this out right... i have spent way too long pulling my hair out over this...and it seems like this was a fix for me...so far... ill edit in a few days if it all holds out
additional, if you are getting an "app incompatible" in the market... and have changed your LCD density , you will have to change it back to its default (240 for the DX) the new market seems to check for that.. and must label the device as unusable with the app, even if you KNOW its working just fine... i hope the market gets fixed to tolerate this...but im sure its part of the NEW market compatibility check
Hi Migamix,
If you have backups that don't contain a Market link, no need to delete them because they won't interfere - as long as you restore the one that has the link, of course.
When batch restoring it's a bit different, the latest backup for the chosen platform is picked, so you have to ensure that that one has a Market link.
But in any case, if you have the PRO version you can long-click and force attach it to to Market afterwards.

the force to market did not work for me, at all...many times, many tries.. some days im on a rom flashing fest...and some of those times ive done a batch restore and had only 20 apps in my market list.. its odd but it seems the only time it worked for me was after having the market attached "M" notification on all the files i wanted...i looked at this issue after letting the market auto restore post rom install, and manually pushed a few more that were causing problems...but i saw how 80% of the apps i restored (data only) refused to keep a link to the market... poked around.... uninstalled a problem app... noticed one of my older backups had an "M" while the rest didn't...so, i used that backup, and moments later that app was available in the market, and had an update... so i went and did it with a few more.... all those apps i managed to get installed in this fashion...still after 3 days, have not dropped their market links...where as...sometimes after a force market linking...would only last an hour if at all
i wanted to post this because i saw how many others were having the exact issue...i wanted to see if there is something in the way TB communicates with the data of the market ...causing market link confusion...
it seems like there needs to be a little more work with the market tools in TB....
ps, there also a setting i messed with that changed the way TB was getting market links... i think it was turning off accurate market check...
hopefully this post doesn't require too much re-reading....im a bit of a bad multitask'r sometimes

[Q] Can't detach app from market, nothing works

I restored some apps after installing tasks latest rom, by the way this has NOTHING to do with his rom. Anyway a few apps have been attached to the market that I bought from other sites. I cannot remove them, I have tried everything, uninstalling them and the market, re installing the apps then the market, using tb to install backup apps without data and then the market without data, clearing all caches for apps and market, and whole cache with cwr. If i use tb to detach app from market, then open the market and press my apps they are gone, but as soon as the list refreshes they are back :-(. This isn't a major problem, just very annoying.
Any help would be great
Also on my stock rom i have the same problem, the apps must be locked in to my market account or somthing
Over 80 views and no reply.....lol
Over 150 now lol :-O has nobody got any ideas?
I'm bumping this cause I'm having the same issue. I got apparatus from Amazon months ago, but it no longer receives updates. Since it's one of the 10 cent apps today I've tried installing it from the market. I'm seeing a same issue as the OP. I've uninstalled, detached from the market etc.. but when I go into the Android market it's still marked purchased. Any ideas?
I have the same issue...it seems you have to be on the ROM that the app was initially linked to the market. I have gotten a few apps to detach, but only the ones that I installed on my current ROM.
I tried going back to previous ROMs for the other apps but it wouldn't work.
Really dumb...the only actual solution is to make another account for purchasing apps.
It happened to me all on the same rom, still can not detach them on any rom. It is more the annoying now as all the apps coming on for 0.10, I can't buy them cos if I uninstall them they still show as purchased but can't download them cos the market finds no license. Getting annoying now. My phone doesen't show them as purchased as I use the same account on phone and tab, my phone just shows the apps I actually purchased on the market.
This app has this feature:

As I said, tb does not work. And all these months later I still have the problem. Never found a solution. Just gave up and learned to live with it. Unfortunely the only way of updating them apps is downloading pirated copies, I don't care if that is wrong cos I payed for the apps and games so am entitled to the updates lol

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

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.
