I have updated my Vibrant from stock (non-rooted) with the official JI6 tar file using Odin 1.3 and using the instructions as supplied and now I can't see some apps in the market like Fandango. Please if you also manual updated your Vibrant using Odin 1.3 and the official JI6 update, please go to the market and enter Fandango and see if the Fandango app comes up. There is certainly something wrong here as the people who got the OTA update seem to not have any problems with the market but the ones that got the manual update using Odin they have this disappearing apps problem.
Can anyone with any idea of what's going on shed some light? many thanks.
You can use the Eris Market Fix and that will fix the issues you're having. It does require root, though.
I also manually updated to JI6 and couldn't see the apps, but this fixed it for me.
I've noticed several apps are unavailable after using odin to flash the ota update. I used a freshly installed stock rom and applied the ota flash w/out root or any other modifications.
Missing Market Apps:
Assasins Creed
Google Earth
House M.D. game
Fandango

Thanks for your reply. I actually saw your reply on a different thread and tried it after rooting the phone and I can tell you that it did NOT work for me. So this is not a full proof method by any means. So Eris Market Fix did NOT solve the problem. I'm hoping someone with an understanding of the issue can offer a full proof method on getting this resolved as it looks like it has affected lots of users.
Remote for iTunes is also missing for me. But Angry Birds Lite now show up.

Did you download an app after you did the market fix?
As soon as I did the fix, it still wasn't working. I downloaded an app, left the market, reopened it, and it was working after that.
Wolfram alpha not showing up any more either

This is happening because the JI6 install you are using is not an official OTA dump, it's the leak which has an altered file causing the market to not allow you to see protected apps. Fandango, Pay-Pal, etc, are all protected which is causing your issue.
You either need to wait for your phone to prompt you for the real OTA and take a risk with that potentially bricking your phone or alter that file.
I do not know which file it is, I just read about it yesterday.

Just updated through odin and everything seems fine. Fadango is on the market. Angry birds is the only new app.

No. It was not the JI6 leak file but the official JI6 OTA file that recently was posted here on XDA for people to manualy update. I only hope that one of the software developers here who has run into this issue can shed some light on why it's happening and how to fix it.
I can see the file that post is referring to and I do have ASTRO but how do I go about editing it on my Android?
SGS Tools from the Market, run the market fix and have a nice day.

Thanks guys for your suggestions. I used SGS Tools as suggested after rooting the phone and now when I type Fandango I could see 3 apps that I could not see before but the main Fandango app still is not appearing. I also noticed that Groupon also does not appear. I know some people mentioned that these are all protected apps, but can someone explain what that is? They are all FREE apps so why should they be protected and why they would not appear on the market list when searched for? Many thanks.
I am noticing the same after receiving the OTA update (Tmo Official), all of the apps listed are not showing in the market and most importantly, slingbox (which I already paid for) isn't listed either. I was able to download the apk but strange that paid apps that you have already purchased do not show up.

In that case, it is apparent that this anomaly is another case of Google being slow to update its server-side Market database of valid Android builds. The Market suppresses access of certain "protected" apps from devices whose signatures are not recognized.
What is unclear to me is why the lag in updating the database: Is this entirely Google's operational problem, or do the carriers or the manufacturer need to take more timely action to initiate the process? This problem is not unique to the Vibrant update. After the last two firmware updates of the Sprint Epic, access to protected Market apps was broken for several days.
From what I read this seems to be a Samsung not notifying Google of the update problem. As of today it is now 3 full days and counting and still having the same issue. Regardless it is annoying and needs to be fixed in a much more timely fashion.
Yeah, nothing is working for me. Not a huge deal, but I would like some apps back.

This didn't work for me. It's says that make sure the phone is not connected to the computer.
Allows you to manage APP installed via the website and have them pushed to your Android devices. Not sure if anyone has looked at it yet.
Im on Bonsai ROM with Market version 2.2.11 and its not working for me. The website finds my Epic but apps don't get pushed to my phone when I click install. Is there a newer version I need?
I havent I'm not by a computer but I'm interested though....
Is it like the app store on itunes?
I'm tired of updating my phone and not having acess to certain apps
This would take all the pain away!

Worked for me, but I'm on stock.
Wasn't that one of the features of Gingerbread? It thought they mentioned that at the Froyo push last year.
They actually first showed this off last year at the Froyo event.
Getting SERVER NOT FOUND error?
I was able to use this today successfully. I remotely installed 3 apps, with absolutely no problems. It recognized all the programs already on my phone.
I'm on Nebula 1.0.7, so stock is not required
I'm on ViperROM 4.0.2c and am able to use it. The thing I like the most about it is that it has kept track of all the applications I've installed (which isn't the case when I flash my ROM). So I can reinstall the APPs throught he market. (yes the market keeps track of my purchased APPs, just not the rest of them via the phone.
It also makes installing the same APPs to multiple devices at the same time via the same Google account very easy.
I am on Quantom 2.7 and the website just doesn't see my phone at all. Wonderful.
are you guys just going to market.google.com??? I can't get to it from my computers.

Google the term "market"
Thank you.
And for anyone else reading this, the correct website is:
https://market.android.com/
I'm running Nebula and when I go to the web market, all of my apps that I've downloaded are there, but it won't recognize my epic. Anyone else found a fix for this?
Works on the current nightly of Cyanogenmod 6.
Shows the list of currently installed applications, and the instant I told it to add Angry Birds (not that I'm interested) my phone began the download.
Awesome.
Combined with the way all apps reinstall after a new flash, I should not need to use the crappy on-phone application again!

Well, I just flashed to a new ROM and am now once again having trouble with the sync.
My market.android.com list shows like 20+ applications, but Bonsai ROM downloaded 2 and acts like it is done. I'm going to have to go down the list and search for each of them now. Or maybe I'll try the same from market.android.com
EDIT it's working, but the list of installed apps on the phone's Market won't even update...
Time to say "goodbye" to appbrain. Finally.
Oh nice
Thanks for the tip. I was able to use my computer to browse the market and it was able to see my installed apps ok. I am running stock DI18.

Says no phone associated with my account even though I can see my market history. I'll chalk it up ito being a new service and not fully up and running yet.
I just got the 3.1 update and so I was checking out the Zinio reader, but every time I click on a book, it says that this version of z reader is not supported then it crashes.
anybody got any good ideas?
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
I'm looking for an answer to this too. What's worse is that when you download the official Zinio Reader app that was pushed out to the market today, it does not replace the one that comes with 3.1. You end up having both sitting in your app drawer. Talk about annoying...
Yeah. The one that can with the update doesn't actually work for me.
[FIX ] What I did was go back into the app market and search for zinio. It seems that its an almost different application with a slightly different icon and better looking layout. Try searching in your marketplace and download that one instead.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
Same here asking to be updated.
If you're rooted, delete the one with the 3.1 update and download the market version. I use Titanium backup to delete the old app
It's asking for an update because... there's actually an update. Just install the latest one from the Market. It works and looks better than the one that came with 3.1 (yeah...).
So just to confirm:
To update, just simply download the latest Zinio reader from Android Market, but this will NOT replace the included Zinio Reader that comes with the TF.
I HAVE to delete the included Zinio Reader manually via Titanium Backup Root?
If I install custom ROM, will the included Zinio Reader be removed by default?
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!
Sent from my Xoom using xda premium
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!

So till this morning I had one update notification in Samsung App, that is Polaris Office: I don'upgrade this one cos this version has issues with JB.
This afternoon I got a n upgrade notification from Samsung Push that has upgraded Samsung App, and since this upgrade I now have 2 upgrade notification, but when I go to the installed list of apps I can see that only Polaris Office has an upgrade.
I have tried many other installed apps (the hubs, sky go, ...) with jo avail.
Anyone knows which is the ghost app that needs update?

Same problem for me.
I see a red circled "1" in the Samsung App Icon. It appeared just after updating the app "Samsung Apps"app itself. Shortly it became a "2", but after updating AllShareCast Dongle S/W it came back to "1".
So there's actually another ghost app (that it's neither Polaris Office nor AllShareCast Dongle S/W), notified but hidden and ineluctably elusive...
(crazy idea: maybe it's the "Samsung Apps" itself that notifies it's self-update status even if having been already self-updated... sort of an endless loop... )

That worked for me too!!!
I didn't disable it in the past (and did never use it either). Anyway, following your hint, I uninstalled the updates of AllShare Play, and after that I saw it magically appear in the "downloaded" page of Samsung apps (it wasn't there before) with an "update" icon.
After updating it the "1" red icon disappeared and now I'm cleaned and feeling immaculate again...
(Certainly, in Samsung Apps, there's a weird way to manage the "update notifications" of pre-installed and never used apps by Samsung ... )
Just sorted out my ghost notification. It was the video hub which wasn't listed in the available updates. Opening the video hub started the update and now that annoying little red 1 has gone.

Opened it and it said there was an 'Update', downloaded the update and the little red '1' on Samsung Apps was gone!! Thanks so much to OP for raising the problem on here and for the subsequent ideas to sort it ('Thanks' given)! It may be only a little thing, but was driving me potty!!
