You're on stock I suppose?
Mine is still Downloads, but I remember the Eris leaks had a verizon tab with just some of their apps.
You'll probably see sprint apps listed for download under that tab.
I get this too and now I can't download or update any apps. They get stuck at "Starting download..."
I am using a custom rom called blue echo and this tab popped up all of a sudden. My "downloads" is now under the menu key
It seems to me like sprint recomended apps maybe?

No, I'm running Fresh 2.1.2
Sounds like some of you Sense users got slipped an OTA. Anyone want to start comparing Market version numbers?

I Got... Version 1713
1.713 here
1713
My Market shows Apps / Games / Downloads
Running Darch 2.7
Running stock with root and my market doesn't have a sprint section.
once you clear your market cache and reboot you will have the "sprint" tab. yay /sarcasm

Maybe your sarcasm is truth, because when I first saw this was after an clear cache of the Market...
Yeah, it showed up on my phone yesterday after a reboot.
I am running Darch's 2.2 RC1, so this definitely has nothing to do with 2.1 or Sense. I'm assuming any ROM that identifies itself as Sprint with the Market will be showing this new tab soon enough.
My wife's Samsung Intercept isn't showing it yet, but I haven't rebooted her phone to see if it shows up.
This development is quite disconcerting, if for no other reason than that I took the necessary steps during root to disable OTA updates. So how the hell did they manage to pull this off, and without the slightest indication that anything was even happening?
Yeah this popped up on my rom last night. Compared it to my wife's phone and she had it too. Damn you SPRINT!!! (Again)

Because this is something Sprint had Google do. Nothing has changed on your phone, things have only changed on Googles end. Google is simply providing different information when you launch the Market app.

If nothing has changed in my phone, then why does the menu button now include a Downloads option, which didn't exist before? Please explain how that can be, if Google is simply returning different information when my phone submits a Market query.
I'm really confused here ... what you're telling me doesn't fit with how I'm understanding what I'm seeing.

Possibly. Maybe the people who aren't seeing it have a non-Sprint PRI, like how when we had the early 2.1 ROMs it would show a Verizon tab.
I rebooted my phone this morning and thats when I noticed I also had the Sprint tab and the Downloads is now under the Menu. I havent tried to download or update any of my apps yet though. Other than that everything seems to be normal as ususal.
I'm running the latest froyo build and mine now says sprint.

Here is the thread on the Google Help forum. They monitor it pretty well. If everyone comments on the thread it will keep it towards the top of their list and they might fix it faster.

Thanks. I commented on the thread, hopefully it gets fixed soon.

yea I noticed that there are about 3 apps that I can no longer access, although my buddy's captivate has no problem finding them.
This is still a HUGE ****ing problem. What the hell is going on? I've counted 6 apps I've tried to find in the market now but can't...
One of the people in the Google thread was saying they could now reach their desired protected app. Still no joy for me though (trying to download the ESPN Radio app and an app for my bank.) Very frustrating.
The whole marketplace access model seems kind of odd even though I kind of understand why it's there. But it seems there should be a better way to handle it, especially for larger partners/OEMs with a higher volume of updates. I haven't followed it closely enough, but I wonder if WP7's market will handle the process the same way. They've certainly thought through the overall OS update process much better (i.e., putting carrier/OEM software additions into a walled off silo.)
So what must be it...
I've been trying to figure out why I haven't been able to find Paypal or Blackboard Mobile Learn on the market for the last couple of days. I guess those fall under protected apps as well then?

No go for me either, no paypal, fandango, nothing.
This happened with the DI07 update.
Give it few days and you should see those protected app appear.
errrrrr.....this is really annoying...i just want one app and is the only one i can't find...
pure calendar
Seems to be working now (at least, I was able to find the ESPN radio app that wasn't available earlier.)
Yep fixed, I see my missing paid apps now
Working for me too. I hope they coordinate better next time.
Agreed. It's finally fixed.

It's a weird bug
after installing the latest market 2.2.13
it lost all my history of installed Apps
even if i re-install the missing Apps it will show momentarily there until i reboot the phone
Can some body else confirm this issue?
it will show all my purchased Apps as "Purchased" but not "Installed" even when the Purchased Apps are already installed in the system

I don't have that version of the Market yet, but sure sounds like a bug.
I think Titanium Backup (Pro) has a "fix market links" option...maybe running that will fix you back up.
I've got up to date market and 2.3.2... apps are missing in the market, my fave being Clockr (shallow vacuous person that I am)....
It showed up in the market before - it doesn't after the 2.3.2 update. Sound familiar?

i tried that already, but no joy
it only does it until the phone reboots
Clear Cache from Settings/Applications/Manager apps...?
Maybe a Dalvik-cache wipe also from CWM?
I'm sure you've tried those already, but just in case you haven't...
yup, already tried all of those obvious things
thanks for trying though
anyways that's why i think it's a bug
waiting for the next market update to see how it goes
Market apk
Could you upload that vending.apk with the version 2.2.13 please? I cant find it anywhere!?
I guess I'm not the only one experiencing this. I did an exchange and this one already had the new market installed (build date was 1/10/2011)...
I added my Google info and waited for all my apps to load up like my first three Nexi ... nothing.
Just never bothered to root yet. Oh well..

Not really. I have 2.3.2 and old Market, and Clockr is definitely there. It's not a protected app.

Clockr Evolution is protected... soz, my mistake, should've been more specific.
But what I was driving at is that since the OS update the market lags until Google fixes something to allow that OS to see protected apps. Suspect 2.2.2 N1 users are having similar problems...

I can confirm this has happened to me too, on 2.3.2 stock, no root. My protected apps are missing from the market, ledgerist and pacman championship. They are already installed, but they are not under "my apps" in the market, so if an update comes I won't be able to see it.
I read somewhere that it takes time after an update for the market to show these apps again, not sure if that's true.

It does, but only because Google is lame in this regard. When the OTA pushes out, update the Market servers to recognize it. Sheesh Google, how hard a concept to get is that?
Guess we'll have to wait it out until they update the device's profile on the market again.
I've just lost all my applications in the market. They are all installed on the device but market shows only 3 apps.
Did you find the solution for this problem?

Try to download something else. See what happens. I got thru once but that was it. Also on that link to AndroidForums.com they are complaining as if the market always goes down. This is the first time ever for me. Not sure about you guys. Been with Android since G1.
This might be good news. Maybe Google is prepping the Market with some new features for tomorrows Honeycomb event.

Odd, I just got the phone today, did the OTA and have the new market.
When I first set it up I let it re-install all my apps and blah, and had the old market. I did a factory reset through recovery and did a fresh sign in through the gmail app, which stopped the restore of my app data, I wanted to start fresh. I had the new market after that.
I think those that were having issues, the issues are now gone. I never had any issues though.
Supposedly has to do with google market upgrades coming, but who knows.
I was going though my apps checking the automatic update when I got a pop up for Super user. Since it was a fresh install I just clicked accept not really thinking. Then my market forced closed on me, I tried to reopen it and it forced closed again. So I went into Superuser and saw market had been what requested the superuser permission... I changed it to deny and now my market works again but I am really confused about this... I have NEVER heard of market asking for SU...
I am using eVil D's Sense 3.0 located HERE I had this installed before and I never had this issue. I also have it installed on 4 of my co-workers MyTouch's and I am their resident flasher and go to guy so I really wanna know whats up so that they don't end up with the same issue.
Thanks guys!
Also I do not have any malware that I am aware of no black market apps I buy all my stuff. I have Super Security installed to scan all apps and nothing comes up as bad. Than and I haven't downloaded any different apps in this ROM that I didn't already have back when I was on CM7 and didn't get an issue like this with that.

The only thing i can think of is eViL dee said that the Netflix application will show up in the market. So unless there is some trickery going on with that i cannot think of anything.
Why not ask the same question in the Sense 3.0 thread. Since those people are using it and the developer is frequent there.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I don't quite understand how users are supposed to receive the new Google Play Services update with the Android Device Manager built in to it.
AndroidPolice said it would be a slow rollout over the Play Store, but it's not even a listed app there, so that makes no sense to me. They had some apk downloads, but they advised against downloading them, since there are different versions for differently sized devices.
So how do we receive this update? Is it only via an updated ROM/OTA/manual download? Seems like if that's the case, then the whole notion of pushing it to the public with older 2.2 devices is a pipedream.
I feel like that plus updates to the Google Play Store are not handled very well. Everything is a just a paper release, and the vast majority of the Android population never sees any of it.
It appears to be more of a silent update. I didn't get a notification when mine was updated.
It will be listed in settings -> more -> security -> device administration
