Market Problem - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys . I presently use trigger 3.2 rom on my vibrant, but right from when I bought the phone with stock rom 2.1 I have never spotted paid apps in the market. I also notice there are some free apps too missing from my market e.g the CNN app. I use my vibrant in Nigeria and now that the android market is open for users here to purchase paid apps its more important that I get these problem solved. I have tried the Eris market fix but still no solution . All I see on my market is 'top free' and 'just in' apps.
Please, can anyone offer some help?

You might have already tried this, but I usually do this when I am having troubles with apps and such not showin up. Settings>Applications>Find Market>Clear data. Your market should restart.

Thanks mcmicham. But even after doing that, there is still no change. I have done it times over like you mentioned. I just can't view paid apps. All I see is 'top drew's apps. I need help!

I've actually put a topic too on this same issue. I used to use Dolphin HD and recently tried Opera. If I search for it its not there. I tried looking for Opera Full, Appbrain, and many others and they don't appear. I have used SGS Tools and tried the market fix and cleared cache, data and even had a update through my Rom that I thought would fix it and nothing. I have no clue what else to do???

Peecs121, I just Googled a lot now and found out that an app in the market can help
Its called 'market enabler'. Though its not permanent , but can fix your market to help you view both paid apps and missing ones. You can try it out. However, I am still open to whoever can help out in solving this permanently . A lot of other people here nigeria can view paid apps on their galaxy s. Why mine?

Try clearing data thru titanium backup. Then use market doctor also thru titanium backup. That usually works for me.
Trigger 3.3

Hey I figured it out!! In the market settings it was set wrong on the content filtering so I changed it to see all apps and there all back!! All the ones I have been searching for.

Is the Market down?!

I have been trying to get a couple applications to download, and it seems as the market isn't allowing that to happen...
Started yestereay after I ran titanium backup, I started getting an error that said one of the google processes had to be forced...Seems odd, and I'm positive I didn't delete anything...Just doesn't make sense...
Anyone else having issues??
When I try to download I get "downloading failed, try again" (something like that). Dunno why it is like that.

No. Reboot didnt help

To fix the problem, go to settings, programs and find market and uninstall updates, rebootyour phone and it should work.... Market will autoupdate again after a while....
Ah! Thank you so much djjackson!
That fixed my problem

[Q] Problem With Android Market

Hi! I got recently problem with my Android Market. I'm not quite sure what's the problem, but I think because I removed the important system applications. You know google's apps. The problem is that when I want to download an app from the market, it just stands on beginning to download the app, it never goes further....
How should i fix this?
Please help me.
Regards Paul
Can you try to delete the market app from /system/app back it up to sd card
And then place it back and reboot
Not sure if it will work but worth a try

I can test, but I don't think it will work..
Go to settings - manage applications and scroll down to market (impt: only market app and not the other market related apps) and then uninstall updates. And then download the apps u want.

Market servers are down. Be patient . WIll be normal soon
yes, I have had issues as well. No "downloads" were showing...
downloaded one app and now they are back.
could have been a Market server issue as well, but was screwed up for 2 days.
btw: the uninstall updates trick does work in most cases when Market is acting up
is the server still down ?
because i faced the same problem since couple of days
rodrigez rom .. miui .. 1.3V

But so i get it right, it's nothing wrong with my phone. It's wrong with the server on Android Market?
I had this problem from last thus till yesterday. Was so p'd off I uninstalled the markets app. I'd recently updated and after uninstall the app was still there but as the previous version, it's working fine now. So I think it's something to do with the updates.

Missing paid market apps? (Sorry for all these questions!)

Just odined myself back to stock and installed Trigger. I was going through market and can't find several apps I had before loosing all my data. I'm missing Clockr Evolution, wolfram alpha FSU login (school app), and possibly more.... Those were some of my favorite apps, if anyone knows how to fix this, I'd love any ideas.
I had the same problem with stock froyo and so did a lot of people, but all my apps showed up on the market when I flashed bionix-v.

Not sure if this would work, but visit the android market website on your computer. It lists all of the apps you have previously purchased with the option to download them on your phone.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I actually tried the website. It tells me those Apps are vibrant incompatible... I'll try Bionix-v later on.

New Market issue?

I'm having a lot of issues w/ the new Market app. It's not showing a lot of my paid for apps as well as others. Is there some sot of fix? Sorry if this is already a listed issue, I looked around and didn't find anything.
I agree, I myself have been. having issues with the new market even with market enabler turned on
I have been having trouble with it force closing. Wen back to the good old green market.
Market Enabler hasn't fixed anything. I tried several different apk's and none of them worked.

I've found that if you use the market site to download an app that you are missing, they'll show up.

Does anyone have an answer for our issues?

If you're having problems installing and updating apps (getting the "Not enough space on this device" error) you will have to empty unused files out of your /cache directory. For some reason, the new Market uses /cache to download files to install apps instead of a folder in /data.
I'm simply having an issue with Market not showing a lot of my paid for apps.

I'm the only one with no problem with the new market. It loads even better for me.

I emptied my /cache folder and still get th "not enough space for download" error. What else could be wrong? Does anyone have the apk for the old market?

Same here. It's been perfect for me.
Can't blame me tho just cuz I was the first one to upload the apk once I got the update lol.
But for real, it just works well for me. I'm sure you've done this but have you tried going to the applications settings and clearing data ? IDK, maybe may help. Otherwise, I'm no help. Sorry

Android Market Installed Apps History

Hi
Hopefully I'm posting this in the right place. I don't think this is an issue specific to my phone model.
I have this really annoying issue. When I go into the Android Market (or Play Store) and I look at my apps it previously showed purchased apps but now it shows all the apps I've ever installed. If I want to install an app I purchased previously I have to search through all the hundreds of apps I have ever installed!
I've tried to find a resolution via Google but I keep getting results showing how to clear market search history.
Does anyone know what I'm referring to and know how to fix this? Like I said, previously before I upgraded to ICS the market only showed installed apps and purchased apps that I haven't installed, now it shows every app I have ever installed and it seems to include apps I installed on my android tablet!
Thanks
Lee

Welcome to the new play store. This is intentional and functions the same as the iOS app store.

Hi
Thanks for the reply. Its an annoying idea. We should at least have the option to turn it off. If I try an app and don't like it I uninstall it, why would I want to constantly see an app that I don't want! Haha.
I like Android because, among other things, it isn't iOS.
Thanks
Lee
