Hi gentlemen (and ladies ).
I'm having an issue with my Nexus One (and the misses with her Desire).
Both of them are up to date, stock rom, nothing fancy installed.
I (and her) are unable to install the new YouTube application. We can't find it in the market, nor can we update through AppBrain for example.
So my question to you all is: WHY?
We live in Belgium.
Extra: My Nexus One can't update Amazon MP3 and Voice Search neither.
All other updates work correctly, I just received the GMail update, so that works just fine .
Any suggestions?
I also cannot install the new YouTube app. I've tried a ton of times now, so its not you it must be a problem on Google's end. Should be fixed soon.
Youtube installed fine for me.
Maybe you have a version thats signed differently ? themed?
try uninstalling what you have first.
Try uninstall the app with Titanium Backup and then install from market. This resolves the problem for me

Yup, this is what I've always done. I had to do it with the new Gmail and YouTube apps.
I use root explorer to delete the app from \system\apps then reboot and re-install from market. Simple enough, though I usually still have to reboot between removing and reinstalling.
Kind of a pain but that's what we get for running custom rom's I guess
Well gentlemen, thanks for the reply, I really appreciate it. The problem is: I don't have a rooted phone. I guess I'll wait for Gingerbread, that'll happen pretty soon I guess
I'm on a rooted transformer with primordial 3.1,
I keep trying to install samurai vengeance 2 but it keeps hanging up and restarting the download. It doesn't install yet there's an icon at the bottom left of my transformer that tells me it's downloading even though it isn't (the icon has been there for days).
I also tried to install adfree but it doesn't do anything except show up in my "not installed " section of my market apps.
Has this happened to anyone else before? I've tried clearing the download manager and emptying out the market app too but to no avail. it just ends up doing the same thing if i try to install it again
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks all,
-Cedric
Tried to clear cache and clear dalvik cache as well?
I had some app install problems after rooting, and your description of the adfree app is exactly what was happening with mine. This worked for me so it's worth a shot:
1) Install Titanium Backup (TI)
2) Within TI click the "Backup/Restore" button at the top
3) Find the Samurai Vengence app in the list and click it
4) Click uninstall and then delete
5) Find "Market" and "My Apps" in the list and clear the data for both of them
6) Leave TI and go back to the market and try the install again
You can repeat step 3 for any other apps that won't install.
Thanks for the reply! Installing titanium backup right now and giving it a try.
Hmm well after I updated to Prime 1.4 I was able to get adfree to install which is great but I still can't get samurai vengeance to install. It keeps hanging at the "downloading" stage (has the green bar that's showing it's about to download) and also it doesn't show up in my titanium backup because it's not officially "installed" on my device yet.
Are there any other options? I've tried emailing the developers but it's been a few days and I still haven't heard from them.
You could always try going to manage applications then for each of these click clear data;
Market
Market Updater
Not sure how connected CMClient is but you could try clearing that too if the other two don't change anything I know that when I was getting OTA upgrade after rooting to primordial 3.1 clearing that sorted that so it might control other download processes?

I've tried that multiple times and I did it again last night before I slept. I just woke up and tried installing samurai vengeance again and it actually started downloading!! I'm not sure what caused it to not download in the first place but I'm glad it worked itself out. I'll just assume it just took a couple days to verify that I actually had paid for it.
Thanks for everyone that replied!!
I've posted a few times trying to find answers but no dice. I seem to be having a really unique issue with the Market. This has occurred on the last three ROMs I've tried.
I've restored apps via Titanium Backup and when I go to the Market > My Apps, some of them are listed and some are not. The ones that are not listed do not get updated. In fact, if I find them in the Market, it gives me the option to Install as if I don't have them at all. Also, when I do install, many times the app will download and then not install until I try about three or four times. I have been doing a Superwipe every time between ROMs and am just at a loss. Anyone else at all know about this or am I just a special case?
yeah happens to all of us dont worry haha
try deleting the cache from the market (go to setting>apps>manage apps>market>clear cache) that helps when the apps are not showing its progress downloading and installing
also if you have the full version of titanium backup you can tap on the apps (for longer than usual) and select attach to market
Cool, thanks for the pointers. Cleared the Market cache and I was considering upgrading to the paid version of Titanium Backup. I think I'm sold now....! Hopefully these Market hiccups will finally go away.
I have CM7 running on my SGS, there has never been an issue like this before for my SGS but everytime I go to "My Apps" it shows none of my downloaded apps, only two options to "Browse Apps" and "Browse Games", I have Market version 3.3.11
Go to Settings, APPS, ALL. Find the Market, Click on Clear Data and Clear Cache. Reopen Market you should see your apps.
Also if you have multiple Google Accounts on the phone, that the right one is selected in the market.
I should have mentioned this before, I have tried the aforementioned method posted above already to completely reflash CM7, everything short of robbing a bank but this problem still persists. I even uninstalled updates and installed market update 3.4.4 and that did not work either

did you tried MarketFix? I know that it is used to solve the problem with 'not enough memory' but you never know.
Good luck.
it is also happening to me and i have tried everything mentioned above
also tried to reflash whole rom problem appeared after a while.
I think problem is related to titanium backup.
@gorsani
It's not related to Titanium Backup, it says "there has been a server error....." my guess is something is going wrong with Google's market Servers? This is a problem that annoys me because I can't see any updates or even Apps that I have just downloaded
@sap7e
That didn't work but thanks for your input

I encounter this problem b4 and my solution is restore market data from my titanium backup. All the apps come back after a few minutes.

That doesn't work for me either, I have apps that weren't installed from the market, I detached all apps and deleted backups, made new backups and attached all apps installed from market in the same way but it didn't work

I have had this issue for a very long time and could not find a lasting and solid solution. After researching the problem for a few weeks I found a solution that worked for me, finally.
The issue seems to have triggered when I used the Titanium Backup Pro Market tools to unlink and link apps to my market account and system apps were added by accident. This should work with any app that can link and unlink apps to and from the Market.
Here is the step-by-step solution for TB Pro:
1) Go to Market Tools -> Market Doctor and Unlink all User & System apps.
2) Reboot device.
3) Open any Root Explorer or Browser and locate and delete the file "market_assets.db" in "/data/data/com.android.vending/databases".
4) Reboot device.
5) Go to TB Pro and to Market Tools -> Market Doctor -> User Apps and link all the User Apps that you installed on your device from the Android Market. Make sure that no System App is linked.
6) Reboot device.
Then the apps you have linked to your account will appear again in Your Apps of the Market after a few minutes. If they do not then install a new free app or a free app that you had previously installed and uninstalled and your apps should appear soon.
In my case I had used all proposed solutions with no luck and this was the only solid solution. I used TB Pro and Root Browser Lite to do this. You could probably use MyBackup for free (30 days trial) to do the same process but if you had this issues chances are that you already have an app that can unlink and link apps from the market.
I hope this sorts out your issue too
Edit 6 FEB 2012: This solution is temporary unfortunately. The cause of the problem is linking apps to the market that were not downloaded from the market or linking to the market from a backup that is quite old/corrupted. To sort this out there is an app now and you can find it from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22178757&postcount=162
It is called Market Fixer and it detects market links that are problematic and removes them to restore the My Apps functionality in the Market.
Cool thanks, I had already found that solution by myself and it works fine, but doesn't survive a hard reset, meaning everytime I flash a new rom with full wipe the problem comes back and I have to go through this again...
I tried to use another account with a full wipe and no problem, so my account must be screwed for life.
Thanks titanium

Also, with market enabler I can see paid apps and even install previous bought apps but cannot buy anything.
With 2 accounts setup at the same time, I can mysteriously buy apps !!!
If I delete the second account, bam, I can't buy anymore.
Looks like the simple presence of a "clean" account sorts things out for the corrupted one...

This hasn't occurred to me at any point. I can always purchase apps from the Market.

This is strange. Are you looking in the internal SD card? What rom are you running and which version of the Market you have installed?

I am using Root Explorer. From "/" i navigate to "/data/data/com.android.vending/".
At that folder is see these sub-folders:
app_carrier_billing
app_sslcache
app_uri_url_map
cache
lib
But there is no databases sub-folder.
I am using DarkyROM 10.4.2 and Market version is 3.4.4.
@Vrayhem
I'm not sure yet but it seems to work.
I had too much disappointment to excite me too.
But thank you very much for your job.
@ledbrv
What root browser to you use?
If it is ES Explorer you can't search file in root system with it.
Choose "Root Browser Lite"
Bye

You are missing the folders databases and shared_prefs then. What happens if you try to create an empty folder there called databases?
Alternatively you can search for the file "market_assets.db" to see where it is saved at. Root browser lite has both search and create new folder functions.
I use Root Explorer.
I created the "databases" folder under /data/data/com.android.vending/ and rebooted. Nothing happened. No files appeared inside databases. Then I "Force stop" and "Clear data" of Market app and reboot. After that databases folder disappears again.

This can only be explained by the fact that you are using a custom rom which is probably based on a previous stock rom than the one we have or it has been modified to affect that part of the market.
I also had an Android Market account corruption where apps I never purchased or never downloaded appeared in my apps when I logged into my account on the PC. Some of those apps would appear under my Apps in the Market for a long time. What I did was flash the latest rom XLA4 with Mobile Odin Pro (to not lose root), flash the CF root kernel to restore CWM functionality, wipe internal sd card/apps/data/factory reset/dalvik cache, install all the apps I wanted through the Android Market account on my PC and then follow the procedure I mention in my first post here. Now (today in fact) I checked my Android Market account online and all the "fake" apps are gone, the duplicates are gone and everything is in place. Also the Market on my phone is working great with no issues and all the apps I linked are there.
Hi,
One day after the changes, the market on my phone is still working great with no issues.
Just a point, system applications are considered not installed.
It seems to me that before this kind of application was not in the list of installed applications on the market or unable to uninstall.
Could you tell me what you think about and if I have to do something?

System applications should not appear in your apps unless you updated an app like Youtube or Maps at some point, so that it will give you the option to uninstall it. You probably added them with TB Pro when you linked the apps to the market as part of the solution. I haven't added them in my case and added only the apps I have installed/bought from the market myself. Therefore, they are not in the Not Installed section.
Some apps indeed do not have the option to be uninstalled (even apps I have bought myself) but it is rare and you can still uninstall them using TB Pro.
Tried this just now on a Galaxy Nexus with ICS 4.0.2 stock rom. (Should this work on this phone too?)
Only thing I did different is I left a couple system apps (like maps etc..) checked during the restore market links in Titanium Backup...
Could this be the problem? Also after deleting the database file and rebooting, I spent about 10+ mins deselecting system and amazon apps from the restore market links, before actually running it. Did it repopulate the database before ran the fix links option and screw things up?
I tried also clearing market data to see if that would help but i did this after this fix did not work. It didn't help either.

I do not know if this fix will work with ICS. You can try it again only adding apps you actually purchased or installed free through the Market to see if that was the issue.

Thanks. I did try it again like you mention and still no luck. I did however do a complete wipe and reinstalled the stock rom. Initially the market was working, until I restored user apps with data with titanium backup, then immediately I was back to the same problem.
So like you said initially, its definitely related to Titanium Backup.
Thanks,
Vrayhem,
Thank you so much for posting this solution.
I followed your instructions carefully on my fully rooted OEM Rom Atrix 2, but it did not work for me the first time. However, I performed them again, only this time, for each and every one of the reboots (I rebooted using Quick Boot ver.4.1), on the way back up I booted back up into recovery, and wiped the cache. I am not sure how that could have made a difference, but it appears to have been necessary in my case. I have not installed a custom ROM yet (was waiting for bootloader unlocking, but it's not hopeful, so I'll be using some other method).
Motorola Atrix 2
Model MB865
Market ver.3.4.4
Root Explorer ver.2.17.2
Quick Boot ver.4.1
Titanium BU Pro ver.4.7.5
System ver. 55.11.16.MB865.ATT.en.US
Android OS v.2.3.5
Kernel 2.6.35.7-gac99e44
[email protected] #1
Build Number 5.5.1-175_EDFFW1-16
======UPDATE======
Well, it worked for a few days. Somehow, it broke again on it's own. I had not messed with any market links or anything. Didn't flash anything, and didn't even muddle with any system files. Just flat out, unprovoked, snafu for no apparent reason.
meh.
Does this work across devices?

This is very frustrating because I am having this happen more and more on different roms and even before installing titanium backup. The fix discussed here did not fix mine either. Sucks because it is only on some roms and not others.
