Yea trust me I tried that, usually you can click on the apk through Root Explorer and act like your gonna install it and it will show you what the icon looks like, I just cant find the MF lol

MobileAP is what it usually is called... might be under a different name.

I can't find it either on my 2.2 powered Epic.
FYI, I have removed it 1,000 times on various Epics with 2.1 using titanium backup or root explorer.

I know it was MobileAP on the 2.1 Epic but the seem to have really hid it on Froyo

you can extract the app folder to ur sd and then look in the the folder in astro (astro showes the icons for apks) find the sprint hotspot one and then look at the name and pow delete that mofo lol (in system)

Then why would it be listed under applications as it's own entity?

This is the first I heard that it was part of settings and couldn't be removed.

I mean to actually browse your applications that you have installed. I've never heard of one apk putting two icons into your applications. This case, settings.apk throwing both Settings and the Hotspot in there.
Oh well. Traded my Sprint Tab in for AT&T Friday.

That's how it works... I know. You like the ATT Tab better?

Why so many apps missing?!

OK, so after the Gingerbread update a TON of stuff I purchased in the market is no longer available.
Tweetcaster pro, FIFA, Abduction world attack, Paypal (official), The Sims..... What gives? I've never stolen software for Android, and I don't want to. I want my apps back! Ideas?

Use this apk to fix your market. Reboot. Should solve your problems.

Didn't work. :L Man, this is SUPER annoying.

You sure you did it right? I had the same exact problem with my apps...a lot of people have. That's the fix. Before I applied it, my Slingplayer wasn't showing up in the market...30 freaking dollar app..now it is.

I downloaded the .apk, installed, then rebooted. Nothing. Are you on Gingerbread?
Could someone running GB tell me if they can find tweetcaster pro or FIFA in the market?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

You need to run the app though lol. After you install, open your app drawer and run Market Fixer. Click Fix, THEN reboot. Yes, I'm on Gingerbread.

[thread jack alert!] wondering why sims doesnt show up in my market? any suggestions?

So if were not rooted this won't fix the issue?

I've had this problem for weeks. On stock 2.2, rooted and the apk didn't help. Seriously annoying bug.

I don't believe it. I fell for the same thing. I just thought you installed it and it was suppose to fix. which it didn't. Been tryin to figure this out for two days. LOL. What an idiot me. Well at least I wasn't alone. hehehe

I was able to fix this, as I seemed to get a version update on my Market stealth (as it had the AdMob setting added to my Settings screen, where 2 days ago, it wasn't there). When that happened, all my apps returned.
Right before I found this, I did run the APK from above, but I used QuickReboot to reboot. Coincidence?
Now to get the 55 updates I missed over the past month...

I'm not rooted. That was the issue. I don't want to root either. EA Games took care of me. Now to email handmark.... :L

May I ask you why you don't want to root?

I know it's a dumb question, but have you checked the market website? I had a similar issue and was able to find and download the missing apps through the site.

You're welcome. It's good to know that there's at least one part of the market we can rely on.

Title says it all.
I wonder if someone has the apk already.

Wondering the same thing, I posted a thread in the themes and apps section asking this also.

A downgrade indeed... in terms of features. You can't view the permissions of the app before downloading now, updates don't seem to show up on top. There is a possibility that I might have missed those features since I'm new to this.
On the plus side, it's super fast now and there are more useful categories. I hope they bring back the old features if they've been removed.

I'll need to check that out. Thanks!
But how about the updates? I know there's an app that has an update because I didn't grab it yet. Lo and behold, the app does have an update button in the app details BUT it doesn't show up on top of the list. Maybe I'll try doing stuff like rebooting my phone.
Oh, and one more thing. There's no longer the auto-update check mark like before. Is it really missing or am I just missing it?

My two updates are at the very top and seperated. And of course you can see permissions. Click download and a seperate page comes up to confirm and shows permissions and more clearly I might add.
Also its only showing the updates of apps actually downloaded from the market. I too had two that weren't showing but they did in fact have updates. The reason is those two were backups from like November and I don't remember if I got them from the market or here.

All my applications that needs to be updated are on top also there's still an option for automatic updates.
This is really a good update. I just need a wifi at my house so I can now rent movies.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

So it turns out that all of the features that appeared missing (uninstall, auto-update, permissions section) were mostly caused by my apps losing their market links.. and being too quick to judge for the permissions one. After rebooting, the list of all my installed apps disappeared where they were in the "not installed" section before. So I think I'll have to find a way to restore them. It's either with market doctor in Titanium and/or clearing the market data, right?

I hear rooted users can not rent movies though the new market. Is this true?

Yup, rooted phones can't watch movies. I don't see them removing that policy because of piracy issues.
But it really sucks to be this way, maybe they should do what amazon is doing? Making sure that the movies will only work on the account that downloaded it?

Thanks EB for the link. working perfectly on SimplyHoney 3.9.1.

tried the market apk on the latest cm7 nightly, but when i try to open it i get the message "you must add an account to the device to continue. Do you want to add one now?" so i choose yes but nothing happens i logged in to google thru the browser but no luck there either any suggestions??

After spending about 15 min with this, I have to say that this market is a nice improvement. The issues I encountered were all temporary (missing update button, security permissions lists before download, etc). Sucks that they decided to stop rooted users from video rentals. I can see why, but in the end someone will figure out how to bypass that.
If anyone has issues listing their installed apps in My Apps my solution was to use titanium backup to wipe the data of the market app clean + using the market doctor. I also had two accounts in accounts and sync and had to get rid of the secondary one to get to load up my default sync data.

You have to accounts and sync in the settings and add an account. Quite weird that you can't do it through the actual market. I never had an issue doing that in youtube!

Market works; but doesn't recognize my apps, when I click on menu and "My Apps." But when I go to an app that I have it does say its installed.
Talk seems to be working as well.
Was that all that was changed in the new gapps?

Crash you do realize that, the 3.2 market is a leak of the market for ICS? secondly I've been running it for about 2.5 weeks maybe a little less. I install run fix_permissions from terminal emulator and fix them thru root explorer and still get the error when I try to purchase an app. I think some phones or roms just don't work well with it. IMHO Thanks for posting the Gapps zip!

No problems, always happy to help. I tend to go back through once a month to remove the crap from there, stops it getting too ridiculous. I try out so many apps that it would be a pointless list otherwise. There is also a cool app called My Paid Apps which shows you all the stuff you've purchased, really handy seeing as Google removed this option. Link bellow:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jkg.mypaidapps

My question is why remove it? does it make your phone slow?

I don't want my list full of crap apps I'll never use again. Nothing about speed of phone. I only want to see apps. I'll use again and find useful. Not every single app I've ever tried or installed. Guess if you don't use the list or don't install much then it doesn't matter. But if like me your always trying out new apps the list guests ridiculous pretty fast and the vast majority of which I'll never want to use again.
