My Tab automatically installed the new Market app. When I fire up the application the home screen shows the featured app including the PAID apps. ( I am using market access to fake my carrier settings ) . But if I choose any app category it will only show the "Top Free" and "Just in" menus, it does NOT show "Top Paid" .
Anyone with the same problem ?

Does anyone's Google map appeared uninstalled in the android market? It keeps listing Google maps as an app not installed at the bottom of "my app" list. I reinstall it on my device each time, but every so often it reappear at the bottom the list as uninstall.
I've got this too -- also have it with the YouTube app.
I'm not sweating it, it'll probably get fixed in a subsequent OTA.
In "Market ", mine constantly shows as "downloading ".

Go to settings -> applications -> manage -> and clear data from market. Don't download youtube from the market because it's not the honeycomb optimized version (atleast wasnt for me)

Having the same problem. I've already tried the "clear data" approach, but it still does it. Not worried about it though because both apps work just fine for me, but it does need to be fixed.

Already did unfortunately. I think there was a youtube app right? that was somewhat honeycomb optimized? how do i get that back?
Its likely that the preinstalled versions do not exist on the market yet. It doesn't detect the newer version so it shows you maps since you probably have it installed on another device. Just don't worry about it. Once the first honeycomb maps update is out, it will fix itself.

I get this too, it does not bother me that it shows as not installed, even when i tell it to install it again, what gets me is that it keeps on giveing me that market icon that tells me there is an update or something else.
.
I was not sure where to post this since there isn't a general Android section, and it relates a bit to my XOOM.
So since the web version of the Android market came out, which is basically the same version that is on 3.0. I noticed it does not really work.
I have it setup with my gmail account, which is the account I have on my HTC Desire and now my Motorola XOOM. The market does not seem to keep track of everything I have installed or uninstalled.
If I have something installed from the market on my phone, and go to that app on the web version, it shows the normal Install button. Sometimes I think even if it was installed from the web version and I come back later it does not show that its installed. Even now with the updated market on my XOOM it seems to do the same thing, sometimes certain apps don't show up as installed.
Also, the market on the XOOM, if I am scrolling a category, and click on something to install, when I go back to that list, I am back to the top of the list, not where I was. This only happens on the XOOM version.
Ideas?
I can't really explain the not-installed showing up thing. But I can assure you that all of us have the problem of going back to the top of the list.

Well that is good to know, at least for the one thing.
My market will not automatically update any of my apps that I have selected to, I have to do it manually on every app, it is however tracking all of my apps so I don't have the same issue there.

Market do Update
The market can a automatically update your appm you just have to select that option. It is is usually not selected by default. However I have only use this options in the build in market app, not the website. I have not even tried the site market. The market AP on my xoom does the trick. So to make it auto update, you need to go into the market app on your xoom, click on "my app", select any app on the left of the page, and on the right you will see information about that app, on that same page there is a an option that says "allow automatic update" with a check box before it. So all you do is check the box or click on it and that's it. Works for me. Goodluck

for those that have the iconia and already have an android device, did all of your apps restore/download? only a few of them showed up. also, after you have installed an app from the market place the app doesn't show that it's installed when you're browsing the market unlike the android smartphones.
last but not least, is there a way to stop the marketplace from automatically putting shortcuts for new apps onto the home screens?
yeah shortcuts on the hs are very annoying.

I don't have backup or restore enabled. I figured it was device based anyway and that it would only restore to the same device you backed up from. For eg. the web market.
I didn't like the idea (on my phone either) of backing up bum settings and then restoring it to a master reset device, thus causing whatever issue made me master reset in the first place.
As for the app thing, you turn that off by going to the Google Market, selecting My Apps and then touching the button to the right of that, looks like 4 horizontal bars and a little arrow pointing southeast and unchecking "add shortcuts for new apps". This will make it so no shortcuts are added to any of the home screens automatically.
Hope this helps.

Open the Market app, go to My Apps screen, open menu, uncheck Add shortcuts for new apps option.
I had Getjar installed on my Elocity when I bought it. If I click on the Getjar icon, I get taken to a page on the Internet that no longer exists. How can I change Getjar so that when I click on it, I will get taken to the Getjar site on the Internet. Is Getjar an okay app, or is there a better one? (I don't believe I can delete the Getjar app from this Elocity A7.)
Also, would anyone know a good, free, weasther app that I could download that would show the weather (in my vicinity) on the Home screen (background) , similar to the time that appears there now?
amazon, google android market
use this to get android market working http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1431967
after you root the device you can install the amazon app store and buy the root explorer if you don't get it through other means. it's a useful app, buy it. you can find the getjar program in /system/app, where you drop off the google apps. be careful when you remove the default apps, try to force stop them before uninstalling. 2 of them can't be stopped(one is fring and i can't remember the other, i think it had a light blue icon) and after they are uninstalled will give an error that will keep popping up, just hard reset and continue.
for the weather app, just search 'weather widget' in either app store. keep in mind that app will be a battery drain.

Thank you. Sorry, but I am new at all of this (tablets, etc.) and don't know what you mean by "root," "drop off," "default apps," "force stop," "error popping up," etc. Really confusing and I do not want to make my grandson's A7 unstable, etc.
Hello,
My apologies if this is a LAME question but I have about a weeks experience on Oreo on this new S8. The phone is a "U1" unlocked variant with NO carrier bloatware if that means anything.
It originally came with an early version of Oreo and I started to install apps and such. Got a prompt to install a newer Oreo update so I let it do so overnight. The version installed is 8.0.0 Samsung Experience 9.0, the last Oreo update before Pie. The next day I noticed that some of the apps that used to be in the apps drawer were now missing in action!
Thanks,
Steve
I finally figured out how to "unhide" the system apps and found them still alive and well in the settings /apps menu. So this prompts the generic question - How does one add or remove what apps show up in the app drawer? There is currently one that I would like to remove and a couple that I would like to add. So far internet searching has been unproductive.

In general
Setting - apps
3 dot menu ( top right ) will bring up additional menu items ( including shows systems apps ).
Tapping on app will bring up app Info.
3rd party apps can be uninstall.
System apps can't being uninstall ( some can be disabled ).
Generally any app that you install will show up in apps menu. Uninstalled apps will be removed from apps menu.

Thanks, but I already figured this much out. Here are a couple of more specific examples.
I used to have either downloads / download manager accessible in the app drawer before the software update. Now they show as hidden System Apps in app manager but are no longer showing in the app drawer and can't be launched from the settings / apps (or at least I can't figure out how). Tapping on the app doesn't launch it only goes into the particular app settings/properties. Same thing for the My Files app. All of this happened after a system software update. Samsung thought that they had to clean up the UI some more... UUGGGHHHH!
I accidentally hit the Galaxy Themes app from one of the settings screens and didn't find anything useful that couldn't live without. But now the Galaxy Themes app shows up in my app drawer! I don't need it, will probably never use it, and don't want it there. I guess that I could just hide it but would rather it not be there in the first place.
Thanks,
Steve

Good day.
There should be a toggle in the options of the galaxy theme app that shows or hides the icon on the app drawer. Check there.
