[RESOLVED] Market problems anyone?

********************************************************************************
I guess this is a problem on googles side not our phones side. this seems to happen if you try a 2.0 ROM and use your normal market sign in on a 2.0 build.
I started messing around and came up with a solution and it WORKS
Download the AOSP 1.6 build HERE put that onto your sd card in the root directory
Boot into recovery and NANDROID backup
Now Wipe Device
Now install the zip from the sdcard and once finished reboot
Download Googlebit HERE
unarchive google bits to c:\android-sdk-windows\tools
open a command prompt
cd c:\android-sdk-windows\tools
adb remount
adb push system/framework /system/framework
adb push system/etc/permissions /system/etc/permissions
adb push system/app /system/app
adb reboot
Setup Market with your not working account (the one that we need to work on 1.5)
Download and install a copy protected app (like Twidroid Free)
Boot back into Recovery
Wipe Device
Now restore your nandroid backup of 1.5 Cupcake
Reboot phone and goto market let twidroid re-install if it tries to and do not interupt
Manually Reboot phone
Now the copy protected apps should be showing again.
Your previous downloaded apps might not show in downloads anymore but wait a while and they will all come back
Mine is now working perfect.

I have the same problem, as have several others after flashing 2.1 then reverting back.
The theory is what you stated, that it will fix itself over time, but I have yet to see that happen.
I also can access my purchased apps, but a lot of others are missing.
It would appear it is up the Google to fix this problem. Flipz mentions this on his site:
http://geekfor.me/known-issues/known-issues-open/market-items-not-showing-after-using-2-1/

http://geekfor.me/known-issues/known-issues-open/market-items-not-showing-after-using-2-1/
It's on Google's end.
Edit: crunchy beat me to it.

Haha, only by mere seconds.

Well I doubt Google is working on a fix since this is not an official release. We may just be screwed on this one.
You think we could contact them about the issue? Problem is we are not even supposed to have the 2.1 yet.
I do not want to use a different account since my purchased apps are on the account I am using and this is my main account with all my contacts and Google voice and what not.
Any idea out there

Well, it has been a week now for me as well, and I still have no changes on the copy protected apps situation. So I don't know what to do.
I find it hard to believe that we are just "screwed" on this one. Or at least I hope... I have no plans to change my gmail account anytime soon.
Flip, are you even having this issue? Or any of the other "important" people responsible for making the 2.1 rom? And anyone else out there who have not spoken up? I am just trying to get an idea of who else is dealing with this.

I wouldn't consider myself an "important" person. I have never actually put my google account info into any of the other roms (even before we knew this was an issue) so no, I'm not experiencing it. But that was just pure luck.
But honestly we saw this same thing when the Sprint 1.56 MR came out. Even after Google fixed the issue where our fingerprints weren't considered a "released" phone, it took some people's phones days to start showing the apps.

which paid/protected apps are you guys not seeing? Are you sure they are 1.5 compatible. I ran the 2.1 rom for a couple days when it first came out but I never noticed any problems with the market as a result. In either case this is certainly a known problem related to google.

I have not looked to see all the apps missing but any of the known barcode scanners are missing along with an eBay app I use and probably others. I cannot get twidroid, locale or any other protected apps.
Kinda sucks cuz when I go searching for an app I don't know how many are missing and if there may be a better choice but it will not display on the market
I am tempted to contact Google somehow and see if they can help us but like I said this is our fault we are not even supposed to have eclair yet.
Most of my purchased apps show just not the protected apps

I had the issue where market did not allow me to download plus i could not see protected apps. I went to settings/applications/manage application and cleared data for google apps, after that it had me sign in and everything showed up and it let me download again.

I went through the same process and no luck.. it did have me sign back in, but still missing all protected apps.

Yeah, I am missing the same things. Twidroid, Evernote, the Barcode Scanners (although ShopSavvy can be found on their website, they provide it), and the other usual suspects.
I haven't tried the whole wiping google apps thing yet because last time I did that it refused to let me sign back in, and I really don't want to be in that situation at the moment. I'll try it later.
Do we have anyone that had this issue and recovered from it?
And if there are others still dealing with this, come forward!

I am having this issue, randomly, on stock HTC Hero with Sprint MR. So ****ing annoying.

Just realized that this IS probably because of going to 2.1 then back to 1.5.. which I did.
Can't see Yelp, Twidroid ... ****, anything.

well i had this problem, so i ran the RUU to revert to stock and its still there, so i can confirm its on googles end cause my phone was completely wiped, i made a new name for the time being and all the apps show up with this, i just rooted and loaded a new rom so luckily i have my paid apps on my sd card and can use them but if i delete them im f'ed until a fix comes out

Well still no fix for me it has been well over a week and almost two weeks now and I still have no protected apps showing I do not think that this will fix itself with time.
I wonder who we could talk to at Google to see if they could help us

I have the same bug after trying 2.1. I havent seen those apps like twidroid, etc in nearly 3 weeks. I don't believe this is an issue that will resolve itself. I guess I'll just wait for a new update, or whatever.

Same here. It's been AT LEAST one whole week, but I'm positive it's been longer, and none of the missing apps have resurfaced.

Ok I think there is a fix please refer to first post for instructions and try. If it works please post back so we can mark this as resolved and help out all the people that have this problem.

Good work zippy-man. A lot of steps but hell, if it gets the market back then it's perfect! Hopefully some people suffering from this can test it out soon and let you know if it worked for them too.

[Q] Problem with downloading from Android market

Hello everybody!
I have a problem with downloading games/apps from Android market. Everything was working normaly, till two days ago, when i tried to download something from Android market. My Wildfire has started the download, but then the download stopped by it self (it was no longer visible in notifications bar) and now it is the same every time i want to download something. So now i cant download anything from market. I haven't changed any settings which could result in this problem. What should i do to fix this problem? Has anyone else had this problem?
Thanks for your answers!!!

Problems here too.

I got a Desire and got the same issue. What's happening?

same probelm here... getting very annoying now

Also here since yesterday
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App

Yes, here too.
Im on HD2 with a Mdeejay rEVOlution android rom.
Dont now what it is !
And yes sins yesterday !

Everybody have this problem !
There's a fault in the Market,
Now at the moment there's 1 option ;
Login @ "Google Talk"-application on your phone,
and then just close the app, it would work.

App brain too!!
same problem. It's also happening with App brain. Can take as much as 5-6 attempts before it works (if it works)

Found a solution to this problem. Go to Settings -> Applications -> Manage applications -> select Market and Clear cache. Then reboot your phone. It worked for me, hope it will for you too.

i think google is working on market to get PayPal enabled i saw an screenshot of an Dev acc where he had to enter paypal infos to his acc

check if u got your network mode set on : GSM/WCDMA.....i cant download with only GSM enabled

PayPal causing the hangup?
So rumour has it PayPal is coming to the Android Market tomorrow. I say rumour because I'm not sure about the release date, although I do know PayPal is coming. You think this could be the reason the Market is so crappy lately?
But until the launch, what I've been doing is downloading one app at a time and waiting for it to finish installing before starting the next download. You gotta make sure there aren't any apps downloading at the same time so cancel them all. If it fails, cancel and start again until it works. I've been having to do this all weekend but let's hope the PayPal integration is the cause and that it's all over by tomorrow so I can start buying more apps

My market works fine, does this mean pay pal isn't coming to all countries lol

I hope it is. We'll see soon enough though. My market also seems to be behaving now, but still no sign of any alternative payment methods yet. I'll keep checking though. CM6 and PayPal purchases within a week? It must be christmas!

[Q] Installed apps keep disappearing from market

Hey there,
all my downloaded apps keep on dissapearing from the list of installed/downloaded apps inside the market.
Don't get me wrong, they are still on my system and I can use them, just the market thinks they would not be installed.
I am on Virtuous 0.9 and done no restoring of apps or what so ever.
I did a backup a few days ago with Titanium but that can't be the cause, because they keep on dissapearing....
I can go to the market and just install the apps. They will download and install just as normal. And for some time they will just stay in the list of "my apps"...
But at some point (totaly random to me, maybe after some other apps I istalled or so) the list is almost empty... sometimes with one or two entries left of the most recently installed apps.
I know I can reassociate apps with the market with Titanium (well need the donate version...) but I don't know if it helps me, because the list keeps on dissapearing and I don't want to spend money on something that does not help
Does anyone know a solution for this problem? I don't want to reassociate all the time.
(Also tried to open the market database in an sqlite browser... well but failed, is there something to decrypt or anything I have to do in order to open it?)
Well thanks for any advice,

For all of your questions about the T-Mobile G2 and HTC Desire Z

Oh well sorry
Was browsing the false forum, when I desperatly pushed the post button...
Won't happen again.
Okay I typed it, it gave me the message that I am checked in...
Now will the apps stay in my market? Hope it worked but I can't really verify it because it hapens so arbitrary.
Thanks anyway and I hope it's done...
And... well could someone move the post?
It's like a shame

well the android market been acting up recently according to engadget, perhaps thats the problem?

I am having the same problem occasionally. Installing ANY new app seems to solve this for me.
Rather annoying though.

A restart usually solves the problem for me. I dont bother anynore though. As long as my apps are installed on the phone, I couldnt care less if it shows up in myapps or not.

Same issue here...
Just spent a better part of an hour redownloading and installing most of the apps back to wake up this morning to them not there anymore...
I guess my only care would be getting the updates...otherwise doesn't matter.

@ huh28
You may have a different problem if you have to keep downloading and installing applications. When my apps disappear from myapps and i search for them in the marketplace, it always shows installed which prevents me from downloading and installing the app again

Maybe time for a wipe then...:/
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

Well I think my problem is the same as huh28's...
And I thought of a wipe as well...
But since my initial post, no app dissapeared. Maybe it was the checkin, maybe it was the markets fault as Beagan mentioned (but I did not encounter other symptoms like the ones at engadged with the android market website).
But if it keeps that way, I'll never now... but well that would be great!
But as an exchange I lost my message-database couple of days ago... that's an other story, but a thought crossed my mind, if it could be related and could have something to do with the sqlite in the background. I'll keep an eye on that, but it's kind of hard to track...

i had the same problem but i went into the recovery and deleted the cache and davlik cache and restarted the phone and all the apps were back again!
maybe that will help you too.

Google account stooped working!

Hi Fellas, I've searched everywhere and wasn't able to get my issue fixed. i now run out of options but to ask help to the good folks of XDA. If no1 here can help, than the gods help I'm doomed.
I got 2 android devices (Nexus S and XOOM) and i can't install any apps in either of them using my Google Account. Every time I try do download an app I get "Download Failed" error, also I can't connect to "chrone to phone" on the devices and the only way to install an app in any device it's from the web market.
So i created a secondary Google account and when I use the secondary account I can install anything just fine, so obviously is something wrong with my main account, I just can't figure it out. Everything was working yesterday and it's not working today. Simply as that.
I disabled 2 step verification, I changed my CC on google check out, I changed my passwords and changed all my options and changed back to what it was. And still nothing. I followed every single procedure I found on Google and a bunch of forums and everything was a big frustration.
I'm out of ideias. So if any1 can plz trow a light in here I'll be thankful.
Cheers
Update. I tried buy an new app and it was successful. It boughted and installed. But I still can't install any app I had previously bought it and can't install any free app. I just can't understand wtf is going on. Plz some1 help!!!

Did you try to wipe the cache of the market?

I seen this issue before with the EPIC. One way and the only I was able to fix was a factory reset with the device. The first account is the main account, and its the one you purchase with from the market. Only way to get around it is a factory reset. Try to wipe cache first but it may work and may not. Then again I cant't see what it going on, so it may just be your account with google. Good luck getting in touch with those guys.

I did factory reset, cleared all caches I even cleared my god damn sins.
I tried again today change my credit cards, so tomorrow maybe will go back working. I'm almost certain that its a problem with payment cause it makes no sense otherwise.

[Q] New Market and FC

Hello!
New Market on motorola Xoom Wi-fi every time I want to upgrade giving me FC. I don't know how to fix it. Tried to delete upgrade install on the Application but it is upgrading by itself. Tried to clear the cash, clear data.
Nothing helps.
Please, who know how to fix this problem? Looks like new Market doesn't work on Honeycomb.
Guys, help me, please? I really need your advice?
Thank you!

What market version do you have?
Sent from my Xoom using xda premium

If you have Documents to Go installed, remove it. It has a problem with the manifest and Dataviz needs to update it, you can use the version from their website in the interim.
Or grab today's free Amazon Apps, Quick Office and Quick Office HD.

Tried everything. Market. 3.1.6, market 3.3.1.1 or something like that, all of them giving me fc.
Guys, please, I need a solution. Can somebody give some advice, please? Or maybe somebody have old mafket app flashable trough cwm? Because google doing nothing for honeycomb.
Sent from my Xoom using xda premium

The problem is almost certainly related to an installed app, if you don't have Documents to Go installed, started removing apps one at a time until the market begins working properly and report back when you identify the offending app.

I had a thread for the same thing a page or so back.
documents to go didnt seem to cause me much grief (but i removed it anyway), but i did have a problem with Enhanced Email FCing the market (which i also ended up removing on the xoom, working fine on the desire).
noticed my market updated itself to 3.3.1.1 (or similar) the other night too - same problems as the last version.
just waiting for ICS update now and will see if that fixes stuff - I imagine it will and/or devs will update their apps to ICS

Do you have apps that you side loaded that the market reported as not compatible? I get the market FC any time one of my side loaded apps tries to update.

I found that it was a certain alternative market that caused me to "loose" all of my apps... I thought that it was the new market and even went back to the moray 2.2.1 to have the old market.
I figured out it was that other market because I uninstalled it and bingo, I had my apps...
I was pretty stupid and used titanium backup to "force" the market links and ended up with one heck of a messed up android market.... Now I am working through that..

Uninstalled the app called "Download all files" and sims like everything working for now.
Thank you very much!

actually i think i had getjar on there... that's missing from the supermarché now - I wonder if that was the issue
i was also guessing that by the time ICS hits the xoom - and all the devs update their apps for that most of this issue should go away

FWIW, I had the exact same problem I uninstalled Enhanced Email and the problem went away. Too bad, I really like Enhanced Email!
