I'm using a stock, unrooted Photon. Yesterday I opened the Market, it closed quickly, and refused to restart. Nothing happened when I selected the icon.
Same issue this morning, so I decided to reboot, and now my Market icon has disappeared, replaced by an icon that looks like a settings icon.
Selecting edit on that icon, it still refers to the Market. When I list my apps, Market is not present.
So now I don't know how to access (or update) my Market app.
Any guidance is appreciated.

I don't have your device, but with the timing I'd suggest that it might be related to Google Play. Play's Google's new market, there are a few of them... Play Music, Play Books, etc etc etc
Try installing Play from the web interface.

AHA!
Play Market was in my Apps list, problem solved. Thanks for the tip!
A better notification from Google regarding this would have been helpful.
Yes, google would have been wise to pop up a notification when they changed the market. My girlfriend texted me in a panic thinking she broke something because market was missing.

So I use the Amazon app store and GetJar for free 'paid' apps. Some of these apps are showing up in "My Library" on my Google Android Market account. Is there a way to remove them from the Android Market account?
One recent problem is Wave Launcher which used to be free on GetJar. I don't see it listed anymore on GetJar and I can't even buy it from the Android Market since it thinks it's already purchased (but declines the 'install' saying it's not purchased). A 'delete' button like in the Amazon app store library would solve all of this...
Short of changing google accounts, I don't see any options on how to fix this. Anyone have any ideas? The problem is on my market library, not my phone (I know how to remove market links, etc.). Thanks.
I to have this problem its very annoying their has to be a way to clean it up.
I actually used the 'report' app function on the google market and got a reply back. They have "forwarded your case to a specialist to begin working to resolve your issue as soon as possible". We'll see what comes of it. Amazon's app store has a simple delete button in that library. It doesn't seem like that would be too hard to implement.
did you ever get a reply for this?
would love to be able to remove all the apps i just simply try for the sake of testing and i want them gone.....
listen to your users G!
I believe Titanium Backup can do this if you are rooted.

Go on...
You can "fix" market links with it by long pressing on the app in question.

On the website I don't see an option, but it is possible on your phone.
I am not sure if all versions of the play store have this option (I am using Jelly Bean 4.1.2):
When I open the play store on my phone I can remove previous installed apps from the list.
Go to: Play Store > My Apps > All
There you can remove an app by tapping the Ø icon

Yeahp. It works.
I deleted some yesterday on my mobile, but they were still on my web "Other apps in my library".
Today, I deleted some again and reloaded the webpage. They disappeared.
Thanks for the tip.
Ok, maybe it needs some time to sync. Great it works!

I have this issue as well--phone app has no provision for deleting the apps, on JB ROM.
My sister got a nook tablet a few weeks ago and I helped her get Go Launcher and Google Apps including the play store. Everything was fine but she called me last night with problems. Most of her apps on the Go Launcher home screen were in the "Loading" state with just an android icon. When she would open the Play Store it would tell her she needed to add her Google Account and pressing the button to add an account would dump her back on Go Launcher. Gmail also dumps her straight to her home screen. She also mentioned something about Go Launcher saying she should try relaunching Go Launcher. After a couple restarts I wasn't able to make any progress on the phone.
So, before I make my trip out to see her, what are some potential culprits? It sounds like the accounts app broke but I don't know how or why.

You're thinking of Google Docs. I'm referring to the generic Google Apps for Android which includes the Play Store, Gmail, Talk, and more.
Try clearing the cache from both Google Play and Google Services Framework, and then reboot.

How can I do this? There is no application management menu in the settings like on normal android.
Turns out the nook tablet updated itself to 1.4.2 even though I had the 9.9.9 version "fix". Why did it update? How can I prevent it in the future aside from loading a custom rom?
Hi I got a Brand new Samsung Galaxy Mini 2, great device, everything is perfect only problem I got is that when I'm in Google Play and want to look at the screenshots of an app, and swipe between them the device freezes, then vibrates and sends me back to Google Play, sometimes it gives me an error message, I have done like 3 factory resets but it doesn't fix it, any recommendations?
Thank You
Someone?
What version of Google Play are you on ? Have you tried Re-loading Google Play ?

I'm on the latest, which is 3.9.16. I have noticed that if the screenshots on google play are in landscape, there is no problem switching between them (eg. Nova), and if I hold the device sideways, I can switch between the screens even if they are portrait screenshots with no problem, wondering if there es a problem with the screen size, everything in any other app is perfect, I tried viewing pictures on the IMDB app and works perfect is just when clicking the images on google play.
thanks.
OK, the problem is related to google play 3.9.16, I know because in manage applicationd I uninstalled google play updates so it went to a previous version, and it works perfect, the problem is that it updates by itself back to 3.9.16 and the problem comes back. any ideas? maybe a way to stop it from updating?
Thanks

You can use Titanium Backup to keep it form Updating. Or you can go into Menu - Settings - Applications - Manage applications - Market Updater. Then Force Stop it from there. But I think you might also just want to try the latest version of the Play Store. You can find it v3.9.17 HERE. The article has the Download links, and info on what's new.
This is in a way an odd question that I have to ask. So earlier today I wanted to check out a new game and I opened the play store app on my phone and to my surprise the image at the top on the main page where they usually promote different apps, music and books was a NSFW definitely not Google approved image. Now I'm not a prude or anything but I definitely do not watch porn on my phone. So I was very stumped by seeing that in the play store app. I checked around to see if other people were having this problem and it didn't seem to be the case. I tried deleting the play store app's cache.. restarted the phone.. nothing same image. Finally I decided to try and uninstall updates for the app and that worked. But now I am worried.. could another app be taking over doing things it shouldn't be? Is that even possible? Should I do a factory reset just to be safe? For the record I only have apps from the play store and the amazon market installed on the phone I'm currently using and the phone is not even rooted. Any ideas?

Maybe google considers some of the apps you installed from the amazon store to be NSFW apps..
I've just looked at my apps list in the play store and there is loads of my installed apps missing they are installed on my phone but not showing up in the list. Could someone please tell me where they have gone and how to get them back.

This has happened to me as well. I think I started after Google Play was updated to version 4.3.11.
I have like 120 apps installed. The "Installed" tab under "My apps" now says I've got 9: Barcode Scanner, GTasks Key, K-9 Mail, Official XBMC Remote, Pure Calendar, Pure Grid Calendar, Soundhound, Superuser and USSD/MMI Fix. If I flip to the "All" tab, all my apps are still there. From there I can view information about the apps, but those that are not among those 9 will say that they're not compatible with my device.
My device is a rooted HTC Desire Z (called G2/Vision in North America), with some "EliteMod" 4.0.4 ROM - which have been working perfectly for well over a year. I was thinking it was some kind of Apple-style scam by Google to force users of old, rooted devices to upgrade.. xD
When trying (and failing) to figure out how to tell a living person at Google that 90 % of my installed apps and probably 99 % of the apps in Play Store are missing, I discovered the following added comment here:
"We’ve heard of some users suddenly missing apps under the My Apps section of the Google Play Store app. This is a known issue that we are currently investigating, and updates can be found on our Known Issues page."
I found no updates on it on the "Known issues" page, though.
I have the same problem
Hey guys,
I have the same problem after updating Play Store to 4.3.11. My installed apps went missing, I am not able to search for any apps on Play Store, app in all apps tab arent available in my country anymore (all these apps were available in my country before the update) play.google.com does not show my device, well its really frustrating. I wonder when google will fix this problem. I guess its something to do with their framework services.

I've fixed it today, I'm not exactly sure how, as I tried a dozen different things I read online. Including uninstalling Adfree, removing hosts-file, clearing app-data for some Google Service-apps, flashing gapps one more time, etc.
But what I did just before it started working again, was to remove my Google account (the one used on Play Store, you can remove it from "Accounts/Synchronization" under Settings), restart the device, and then re-add the account again (in "Accounts/Synchronization"-settings). Then everything became as perfect as it was.

Thanks trollsperm. I will try that today. BTW, I have observed one more thing. The playstore works just fine after a new flash on Wi-Fi, but it goes back to the no working state as soon as I switch from Wi-Fi to Mobile Network. Have you encountered that?
I have tried your suggestion of deleting the account and re-add the account. This was the outcome
1.The play store started working fine and app sync was flawless. This was on Wi-Fi
2. I switched to the mobile internet and the play store worked fine until I rebooted the phone. The play store stopped working and apps were missing after the reboot with the mobile network on.
3. I then cleared the play store cache and data and switched on WiFi. Opened play store and voila the play store worked normally.
4. I did the same process on the mobile network but it didn't work out.
I guess the Google location services are kinda screwed up on the mobile network and not on WiFi.

Then I'm afraid your issue is different than mine. For me, the result have always been the same, whether or not I'm on Wifi or mobile. I can now browse Play Store both on Wifi and mobile, and rebooting changes nothing.
When I experienced the issue of "empty" Play Store, the Wifi-connection icon in the upper right corner were always gray (instead of blue) - something that's usually only happening if I'm connected to a wireless network, but the router isn't connected to the actual internet.
My conclusion is inconclusive, I'm just happy that it's back to normal..
Hi guys,
I'm facing the exact same problem as rahulananda.
In my case, the play store running on my Galaxy S4 and also on my notebook, is empty - searchs returns nothing and whey I access directly an app page, it says the app is not available in my country (Brazil).
For me, play store works fine over when mobile data (4G) is enabled, it doesn't work at all on wifi.
I also have a Galaxy S3 which is working perfectly on wifi and also mobile data.
It doesn't seem to be related to play store version, as in all my devices it is currently on version 4.3.11 - besides it is also not working on my laptop.
But, indeed, this is an issue to determine the location - for some reason, over my wifi, and rahulananda's mobile data, Play Store is unable to determine the country.
I found this on Google's Known issues: support.google.com/googleplay/known-issues/1319135?hl=en reffer to issue 8324410.
Hope they fix this soon, this is driving me crazy!!!
Let me know if you find a solution!
Its a simple fix as long as you have root.If you do look at this:
1. Navigate to the Build.prop
2. Find these 2 lines:
Code:
ro.build.description=
ro.build.fingerprint=
3. Delete everything in front of the "=" sign
4. Download a custom rom for another device that has great compatibility with apps(htc one, sgs4)
5. Copy those lines from its build.prop to yours
6. Reboot and Enjoy your market:good:
Well, my problem has been solved after applying the latest CM10 nightly update.
