No more notifications with Google Play? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

Is it just me or is anyone else no longer getting notifications when there's updates in the new market? Yesterday had a few apps to update and a couple more today but never got any notification. Luckily I happened to randomly check my apps and saw them..

You can turn on notifications in the settings of Google play

Menu -> Settings -> Notifications on new updates <check>
I have to say it - you didn't even look?

Uh yeah the notification has been checked, its still checked, data/cache has been cleared several times, still no notifications (sorry not an inexperienced underage noob over here). Just had 3 more updates too about 10 minutes ago.
Can anyone think of anything of actual use to try? Are you guys that still get them running stock or third party roms? Mines Samsung's stock 2.3.4 with the stock kernel. Its rooted but other then that no mods whatsoever...

Sorry - simplest answer is often it. So, rooted, unrooted? Stock ROM or other? Have you tried uninstalling Play and installing from APK posted somewhere here? Are these paid or free apps? And (since it's been biting me lately) were they installed from Market originally or from Amazon, getjar, or something else? Oh, and wifi or 3g (i.e. both on, just wifi, just 3g).
One more stupid one, but considering Google, have you tried just waiting 24hrs plus and see if maybe you're just beating it to the punch? You could try loading AppBrain, which runs around 24 hours behind for "seeing" updates, and if it shows up there before Play shows it, then there's definitely something off.
Let me know and I'll dig some more...

Most of the info you just asked for was already posted and you even quoted in my reply above. And its any app, paid or free, wifi or not, ever since Play came out. There's no magic to it. I'm simply not getting any notifications when there's updates even though its on.

New market 3.1.5 is not showing all applications when searching

I am currently on update 4.5.1a-1 sun 154 and for some reason the new market will not allow me to see all apps when searching. I have uninstalled updates and then I can see all apps. The problem is that it updates after I close the market to the newest 3.1.5. I am not rooted and wanted to see if there was a fix for this.
Anyone else seeing this issue. In particular when I search for go launcher ex themes, I get 3700 some odd apps but can only see maybe 20 of them.
Yeah I got that too...

If this is happening to new users than something is wrong. I am assuming your saying to swap to another Gmail account and then choose the first one as default. In a sense I'm guessing its refreshing your Google account. Would a hard reset do the same?
I have only one google account and it is stilll doing it

It's happened a few times to me. I found that uninstalling updates from manage apps, and letting it update itself works. Might not update right away, but it will eventually.

Hard reset dis nothing but cause me more work. I really want to get this fixed. I might have to flash the newest build on the developer side
Although I have an rooted HTC Desire I'm coping with the same problem. A few days ago my market self updated to 3.1.5 and from then on I have this problem.
To fix this I gone through all the missing installed apps form the market on the market webpage (from PC) and installed them from there. They updated so I didn't had to uninstall then reinstall and thus re-setup everything up. Some apps I reinstalled as well but whatever I did It was only a temporary solution. After a while all those apps went missing again.
I hope someone would fix this.

Thia seems to just be an issue or bug on the new market in general because my Evo 3d was doing the same thing. Im glad this is not just happening on the Photon. Im sure google will push and update.

I'm having the same feeling that this is Google's fault. I only want to know if this is happening on unrooted devices as well, namely if it does, then the answer is clear, it's a Market bug. Can someone confirm this issues on unrooted devices?

Yes some searches limit the amount of apps that can be seen. It will say for example 400 appear but you can only see a very small amount of them. This doesn't happen on the old market.

USA Today

Anyone know why this does not show up in the market?
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk
Its not Compatible. Someone else asked this a couple of weeks ago and it wasnt compatible at that time either. It could be maybe cause of the screen resolution maybe. Thats my guess. If u go into the Market on your PC and search USA Today it will pop-up. And if you are singed in and click Install you know how it tell you to choose the device you'd like to install it on? you'll notice that the Verizon listed device will say "not compatible with this device".....Sorry man!!
Got same question. Thx for the answer!
i restored it as a backup from DX2, FCs instantly
but yes, incompatible really is correct sometimes lol

ICS updated but want Ginerbread back i think

I waited and waited. Thought about rooting and using a ROM before the official ICS update came from AT&T but just decided to wait. Finally got the update via Kies, excited like a school girl. Initially it was a cool new bit of scenery, and as the OS settled in with me, i found myself disappointed and wanting my gingy back. I've been upgrade for a couple months now i think, and had plenty of time to try to get used to it.
I am finding lots of things that just plain suck.
1 - Text message notification audible alert discontinues after awhile (unknown amount of time), only resolution I've found is to reboot the phone. This sucks because just out of nowhere my text notification tone stops. Everything else like ringtone etc is fine. This is a dealbreaker for me almost. This worked fine on Ginerbread.
2 - new Swype software gives me problems when the word suggestion feature stops working completely. Swype is hard to do without word suggestions at times. Only solution i've found is again, reboot the phone. This sucks. I know, don't use swype, but i WANT to use it. It worked perfectly on Gingerbread.
3 - the widget for Google Voice is super tiny now, and i don't see a way of making it bigger. It's approximately the size of 4 icons, whereas before on Gingerbread it was huge and you could easily read/see your voicemails. Maybe i'm missing something on how to change the widget size, but i see no way of doing it.
4 - my News and Weather widget, which i used for weather and news all the time, since my original Galaxy S, does not display any weather information anymore. Just says "No Weather Information". this worked fine on Gingerbread. I guess different phone OS makes widgets work differently. I just want mine to work as expected. News still comes through fine though.
5 - Unlocking the screen seems more difficult now, usually takes me a couple tries, whereas it seemed really smooth and awesome before the update
6 - Power Saving widget is huge now, takes up half of one screen, whereas before it was just 1 row and you could scroll across. Why make it bigger and take up more room with no additional functionality?
After listing all this out, i'm trying to think of the things i LIKE about ICS update, and i can only think of one, which is the data monitoring/limiting which is kind of a cool feature. I doesn't seem any faster really than before. So overall, i honestly was happier with Gingerbread. 6 things that i find that suck versus one thing i like.
Maybe this is me being picky, but as excited as I was to get ICS, i'm equally disappointed in the upgrade. My wife uses a Galaxy Note and it is available for her phone now, and I told her don't bother with the upgrade.
Anyone have any advice??? experience the same problems? I know i could root, install a custom rom etc, but i really like the touchwiz stuff from samsung and i was really happy with just the stock gingerbread OS, even with all the bloatware, i just disregard all that junk.
I'm having the same problem with text notification I just notice that I get a text it would sound but just about an hour ago it just stopped I would get a text and nothing ringtones works and everyrhing but I think is a ics bug maybe it would get fixed in the new update 4.0.4

at&t sucks. bottom line.
Advice, if you want to stick with touchjizz, run a custom one, there are plenty that *should* have those issues taken care of.
But the widget size issue, thats just looks, with a different launcher can change size of widgets.
Lol I called this one. A bunch of people upgrade to stock ICS. Then they complain and want to switch back, mess it up, and start new threads. Hopefully they all learned their lesson about carrier upgrades . I mean even I tried it, just to see what it looked like and how it functioned. Then again I knew how to get back to a custom Rom Before I did it. It's actually not too bad, but there were just too many bugs and battery life was too bad for my taste.

It isn't 100% on all phones it seems to be random but instead of posting something VERY VERY risky for people not so inclined to troll the forums and find out about the risks of certain actions why not shut up or post what you think will work then link them to a topic showing what bad could happen. You just seem like you want people to brick and make more topics about how they tried to reset and bricked. You also need to think of Google searches that link to this topic and they read it and see you said reset and they do it. It isn't just xda its anyone with the internet don't lead people to a possible brick

The only way to go "back" to Gingerbread is to flash UCKH7 straight stock or one of the Gingerbread stock plus root packages in Entropy512's thread. So yes, use that, or one of my guides.

Hulu+ doesn't play

I'm hoping I don't get flamed here but I am having trouble getting Hulu+ to play on my SGH-I777. I contacted Hulu+ support and in their reply they said that they don't support rooted phones so here I am.
When I try to watch anything on the Hulu+ app I get an error message "streaming unavailable [WV44] [91]
I am on stock 4.0.3 which I flashed to using Kies. From there I flashed what I believe is the latest Siyah kernel, 3.5.1. Other than that my phone is stock. I have tried rebooting the phone, deleting cache for the app, force stopping-clearing data and clearing cache, uninstalling the app-rebooting the phone and re-installing the app.
I then tried booting the phone into CWM recovery and wiping the cache, dalvik, and extweaks.
I have a feeling the stuff I did in CWM wouldn't have made a difference but I thought I should try.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I would even be willing to flash the stock kernel to bring my phone back to factory stock if someone knows where I can find it. I've read that doing that can cause serious problems though so and insight on that would be greatly appreciated as well.
Thank you in advance.

Thanks for finding that for me but it doesn't work for me. It just keeps buffering forever. I don't know if I mentioned this already but I'm running stock ICS 4.0.3. It seems like most people in that thread are running 2.3 GB.
I went back to the Play store to look at the reviews and it seems the problem I'm having with the app is the same problem everyone with a GS2 is having.

On that note I should also mention I've only tried it on cm10 (4.1.1). I don't see why it would run on jb and not ics though. So if anything it must be an issue with Sammy firmware. I've also only used it over wifi.
EDIT: There are 3 options to download in the OP of that thread. The one that worked for me was the middle one.
Thanks for putting up the link CallMeAria. I was using it on Tasks AOKP, and my wife uses it on shostock2. Haven't tried it yet on JB...

Ain't nobody got time for that
If one was using the stock ROM but had it rooted, updating would presumably deroot the device, right? Or would the update fail?
I meant Q-slide was suppose to be working with other apps, like the whole browser not just certain videos, and it was suppose to work with other apps natively. In the notification bar there was suppose to be a Q-slide bar under the brightness bar and you could select apps to play over your current app.

bloat isn't really a factor here but we can all expect better JB roms

Dude I NEVER had that option since I took the phone out the box at the AT&T store. You're saying you had that to begin with? I find that very odd....
So I did some searching around to see exactly what Q Slide is SUPPOSED to be and I think you must have this feature confused with something else or another phone all together. Even on various videos and LG's own website, Q Slide is used to watch VIDEOS and use apps at the same time. It says absolutely nothing about having 2 different apps on top of each other at the same time. I think you are confusing yourself mate.
