[Q] Apps after a Factory Reset - Droid X General

I have a Droid X. I recently did a factory reset then upgraded to Froyo. Some of my apps appear in my "app page" and others do not. They show in the market as being downloaded but I can only open them from there. I can't get the icons to show up on my phone. Any Ideas?

Did you try just uninstalling them and reinstalling them?

I did. Still not working. It's more of an annoyance than anything else. I just don't like when a $600 gadget can't do something that's so simple as replace my app icons after a reset. Plus, the apps that I have downloaded since the reset aren't being posted to my app page either.

Have you tried rebooting?

are you using launcherpro and maybe hid the icons?

I had one app that was hidden in the market the day of the upgrade. The next day it showed up in searches so I was able to download it.

Downloaded apps not appearing in "my apps"

I've never had issues with this until last night. I went to my apps to see if there were any updates, and only two apps were showing up. I cleared the cache and data under manage applications, but that did nothing.
I ended up restoring a nandroid from right after I rooted. All of my apps were showing again. Then I selected update all and went to bed... when I checked my phone this morning it showed notifications for all the updates, but the market said I only had 4 downloaded apps.
So am I the only one experiencing this? Or did something get updated and I'm just unaware of what is up?

The first time I tried rebooting and it didn't fix it... but after I restored my old backup and they disappeared again, I rebooted and it has been fine since

Market Issues

Is anyone else having issues with the Market? For the last few days it keeps saying I have updates available for the same 8 apps Angry Birds, Titanium Backup, Evernote, etc. I've updated them and then the next day the same apps have updates available. Today there were additional apps that needed updates along with the same group. Anyone else have this problem?

Wipe data and cache...that may help!
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
I wiped cache, didn't help but did speed up my Market app. I'll wipe data after my phone charges since it just died.
new update, so I decided to try and update individually, after selecting Angry Birds for instance inside it only has options for Open and Uninstall. So it seems internally it knows its up to date but in the list view it doesn't.
What is happening to you is definitely freaky. I would try to wipe the app cache and then use cache cleaner and clear all of the caches. Then i would reboot and see what happens.

Update: deleted cache and data. Deleted backup of Market app in Titanium and deleted data of Market through Titanium also. Restarted phone and now works normal.
Quick note, last night i let the phone's battery drain fully and charged it over night. Turned it on this morning and it went into Recovery. Restarted phone and ot started up normal. There seems to be a gremlin lurking somewhere.

Update again: well thought it was fixed. But happened again, this time had 2 updates and first one was fine but second one which was Sketchbook Express only had the Open and Uninstall option! Maybe I should've just used the update all. Emailed Android and they suggested uninstalling Market updates and it will update back to latest market version in a few days. They said if it happens again to email them again.
Old market works fine for now. Saw Sketchbook had an update and updated it. We'll see how this goes and keep you guys updated. If this keeps up maybe I'll just reset the whole phone and go to CM7.

I am having similar issues. For some reason only paid apps show is the "My Apps" list. After installing and uninstalling a single app all apps show, but only temporarily. This is getting really annoying.
I have also seen that google does know about the problem, but im not sure how that will help lol
Must have something to do with the latest market and handling videos. Well atleast I know I'm not alone now.

Android Market showing apps as not installed

Hi there,
For some strange reason when I go to my apps in the android market the list on the left hand side shows all the apps I have on my device, but it says that they are not installed! I have the option to install them again (even though they are installed) but when I press install it just opens the app instead but the list does not change it just still looks like it's not installed.
it's like the market is not recognizing that I have the apps installed. I know it seems very confusing.
Any body else encountered this problem befor?

Try clearing the app cache for Market.

This.
Randomly happened to me a few days ago. Said my mobile had nothing in it. If you try and install via web browser, it will say this error.
Tried clearing the cache but it's still the same. Tried installing through the browser but it's still the same, I get an error saying app already exists.
lists still show nothing is installed even though they are! lol!
This market really has some strange behaviour :-\

Just fixed it... I had to completely remove my Google account in the settings and set it all back up and re-sync everything.
Thanks for your help

Did have.the same issue but only lasted a little while until rebooted.
Just wondering, have you tried logging out of your account and re entering it?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Yes, i did login and logout from my account. I did solve my problem already though. apparently, when I played with the market tools in titanium I inadvertently linked several apps to google play that were not supposed to be linked in the first place. I had to go through them and unlink them via titanium and it fixed the problem. I downloaded MARKET FIXER to determine which apps needed to be unlinked.
Hope this thread would be of help to anybody who would experience the same problem.
I do wonder if they're tweaking some settings with the new play market... I did a hard reset (because I froze stock dialer.... Big mistake ;-) ) and since, on usual dpi settings that have always worked before, 200, 240, I'm getting the error my device is not supported... Googled it and there are a lot of new posts about this since the update. Dunno if it's related.
I do have titanium but have never touched the market settings...

This is an old issue and it is caused by the Gallery and a few other system settings being mistakenly linked to the Google Play market which leads to the removal of the apps in My Apps section.
Indeed the best solution is Market Fixer as the OP has discovered above and the link is below:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kstudio.marketfixer
You usually only need to remove the system app market links to get it to work. This procedure needs to take place after every firmware update too. Before the apps return after using the Market Fixer, you can download a free app and install it from the Market to refresh your apps.
Yes that works perfectly, but you have to know that now your google account is corrupted for life with those system apps liked to it. Now everytime you flash or update a rom, you will have to go through this to get back a functioning market... sucks big time. F***ing titanium backup, and me for being stupid and use it to screw with the market... oh well, I have good health so that is what is important, it's just a phone...
