Hi guys,
Not too sure if this is the correct section to post this, but i'm not too sure what would be the best place..
For the last 3 nights my phone has been doing something very strange...
Without any confirmation from me ALL applications I have ever downloaded from the market are being redownloaded, all at once, and filling up my app memory, im talking like 80 apps..
Even if I delete the apps (one-by-one, anyone who has done it knows its sooo slow), sure enough I wake up the next morning and there are 70+ notifications of apps downloading and they are all there again..
I just don't get why its doing it, and its bl--dy annoying.
I have asked 2 of my friends if they are having this issue and they say they are not.
am I alone, anyone else's phone seem to be possessed by a night ghost?
Any ideas welcome.
Thanks
Karl
No, you are not alone!
I, too, had this strange behaviour 3 days ago. My G1 was hibernating, I unlocked the screen and saw the notifications with all the applications I ever installed from the market beeing installed (and some still installing). I uninstalled all from "My Downloads" with the option "I need more space ...", did a hard reset, re-configured the G1, and installed all my "must have" APKs with a file manager (downloaded via market).
And luckily today I only see the file manager which I've installed via the market, and the rest of the "My Downloads" history is gone (what a pity ).
So, I can't tell you why the phone was installing all the software again without my permission, and I also can't tell you how or why the "My Downloads" history is clean now.
thats freaky man, ive only had items randomy start downloading if i went to update it, and it got stuck on downloading and i forgot about it, the next time i turn on my phone ill have 3 or 4 updates downloading at once lol
hi,
posted in this nexus1 forum after searching for problem, but I have an x10 and hoping an x10 user might help

I purchased Beautiful widgets, but when I try to install I get 'download unsuccessful'.
I have deleted market cache, and rebooted but made no difference..
I am waiting on a reply from the dev, but nothing yet - anyone have any idea why it might not be working or how i could fix?
[edit] more detail:
i purchased/downloaded/installed beautiful widgets successfully. then uninstalled and got a refund, after trying a few other widgets I decided to go back to beautiful widget. Went through the purchase fine, and it says purchased in downloads, but will not download successfully to install
[/edit]
anyone have any thoughts please ?!
Hey
It may or may not help, but if your a UK x10 owner something that worked for me was on your pc log into your google account and switch from googlemail.co.uk to gmail.co.uk and back again fixed my problem with the marketplace. Tho i did have to do it a coupla times to get it to work.
I think this only works if you from UK tho not sure, anywho hope it helps

I would really make an effort to contact the dev, it seems there's a problem with the market which is confusing Google if youve bought it or not. Anyway, the Dec will be able to sort any confusion out effectively.

Hi I have had the same problem with a game that I purchased, the dev told me that there have been some problems lately with the market and protected apps, and to wait a few days and see.
I solved this when I logged into gmail (which I don't use other than for market). This issue was caused by fraud prevention on my Credit Card, reconfirming the card worked and the App was installed automatically..
Simple fix, but I'm amazed the market doesn't give better error reporting!
Thanks for input!!
go to 0.arenabg.com (a torrent site) and search for android app...i those app there is a butiful widget pack..
I only noticed this evening and have not seen it mentioned here (I may have missed it) but Samsung Market has just updated to 2.0.5. There are a few nice new apps there as well inc. a dragon riding game.
Updated mine to 2.5.034 about a week ago.
Why does it have a different build number in settings/applications to the one in the about screen of the app itself? Mine is as yours. 2.5.034
Did anyone lose his or her credit card information for google checkout after the new version change?
Regards.
Can someone help me how to update android market?

Comment Print For Android 1.6 and higher, the Android Market application automatically updates itself when new versions become available. This is a silent update which means you will not see a notification and will not be prompted to update. Perform the following to ensure the latest version of Android Market is updated properly:
Android 1.6 - 2.3
1.Launch Android Market
2.Switch to the Home screen
3.Wait 5-10 minutes for Market to self-update
4.Re-launch Market
Android 3.0
1.Launch Android Market
2.Touch My apps in the top right corner
3.Switch to the Home screen
4.Wait 5-10 minutes for MyApps to self-update
5.Re-launch Market
To check the version of Android Market:
1.Press Home, press Menu, and touch Settings
2.Touch Applications
3.Touch Manage applications
4.Touch the All tab (Android 2.2 or higher), or press Menu, touch Filter, and touch All (Android 2.1 or lower)
5.Scroll down and select Market
The version number appears below the Market title.
To check the version of MyApps:
Repeat the steps above, but select MyApps instead of Market. The version number appears below the MyApps title.
To update market, clear data for it and relaunch market, easy and works!
My Samsung Market just updated itself to 2.5.039 which sounds even newer!
I don't see the game you mentioned though.
I also had a question... A few months back, I'm sure there was a photo editor app on the Samsung Market, but I don't see it anymore. I'm sure I tried installing it, and it failed, and now it is gone. I did successfully get the video editor at the same time, and still have it installed and working, but that is also missing from the Samsung Market list now. Am I right, was there ever a photo editor in there? Does anyone else still see it? Had anyone got it installed on their device? Is it any good?
The other Samsung Market oddity I have is that, the Samsung Market icon tells me there is 1 new update (as does the text in the list inside the app), yet there is no updates listed when you get in there. There used to be two listed in both those places, but only 1 update there, which I installed... leaving me with a mysterious invisible update supposedly available. I wonder if all of these problems (including the game you have that I don't don't see) are regional ones caused by my move from uk to nz and therefore changing sim card. I used to be on uk voda, and now on payg 2deg in nz.
I might try my uk sim card to see if it offers me anything different.
Any thoughts?
Mike

If you have CWM try clearing dalvik cache from advanced and regular cache.
Your device thinks you have that photoeditor, which offers update, which you can't see in the samsung apps as it failed at installing, this is just my thought which came first in my mind.
Also sim card shouldn't be affected to what your samsung apps offers, only the CSC should.

Still don't work for me :-( Tried to clear cache just say accept terms and conditions and I click accept and still on version 2.3.6
Any implications from clearing dalvik? Any chance of data loss or problems afterwards? Never done it before, so want to check before jumping in.
Thanks

Actually any problems afterwards is smaller chance to come if you clear dalvik cache twice in a month and when flashing a theme or any other cwm package. Only thing is longer first boot, since it will rebuild dalvik cache from scratch with your new settings and apps. And there is no chance to lose data.

Yes it was my bad I didn't read Samsung market
Same versions on my I9000
Thanks.
just got iconia a few days ago, and i have updated to 3.1 and I am rooted, however the problem was evident in the stock firmware. In the market whenever I try to download Facebook or words with friends, it says "requested item could not be found". Perhaps I'm the only one that doesn't know about these apps not working on the iconia/honeycomb but it is very frustrating as I would rather use my tablet for these apps than having to grab my phone. Anyone else have the same problem with these apps or others? And can anyone give me some insight on how to fix this problem. Thank you

Personally, I just used the link. But, I have noticed this happening to quite a few apps I try to download. If the app is free on the market, I tend to look for the apk on Google. Good luck!

I have a similar problem with 3.0 on my Iconia - I cant download paid apps ("requested item could not be found"), just free ones. From what I found on google this should be an issue of the market country and if this country already has paid content allowed.
If you got the update to 3.1, was it a Chinese one?
My Iconia is from Taiwan directly, so it would fit your problem.
If you are rooted, please try "Market enabler" , this should help. I wont root my Tab before the office 3.1 comes to Germany, so I would be very interested to know, if this works.

When selecting My Apps on Google Play web site I can only see half of my apps.
I have about 250 apps installed from Google.
You able to fix market links using Titanium backup?

i encountered this problem once...
i forgot how i fixed it, probably by rebooting or logging in different google account...
Try to delete data of Google play in setting - application
then restart phone
This is on the Google Play web site, not on the phone.
I just noticed this problem too.
If you install apps via apk (eg. applications you got on xda) that Google has no record of on the play store, they won't show up.
Hey guys,
I'm having the same issues with my stock Galaxy S III. A couple of hours ago, I became 4 fresh devices directly from the Authorized dealer here where I live. I wanted to update them and set them up properly for my co-workers. I've installed 4.1.1 on all 4, with kernel 3.0.31-256827. Everything went smooth on all devices and I was really fascinating what a wonderful device that is. Afterwards I've created 4 Gmail accounts for all of them (from the same IP address) to install the needed apps from GooglePlay. But one, somehow, someway didn't show any pre-installed apps in GooglePlay, such as GoogleMaps, Gmail, Google+, which should appear, because they're installed same procedure in each case (every device has got the same versione, same firmware,..).
..to focusing back on little-vince's post;
I hope that's not true.
I don't know the way these apps were installed or cooked into, but 3 of 4 phones went smoothly in my case.
All 4 were before the update on the same version, which I did not wrote down. The problem also is, that on another device I had the problem to update the apps via GooglePlay which were shown. There basically was an *update* sign, but when I clicked it there was the text that it's not available in my area.
I somehow think, that the problem is somewhere in the language/locales.
I've switched between the default language on the phone, rebooted it, and somehow I made it work on the second device to run updates,
but on the first device, not even a single installed app shows up, which is funny :silly:
I've also tried to clear cache, wipe everything, factory reset etc.., but it didn't worked out.
If you find a solution, I'd be glad to know.
Sir, you stated Galaxy S III, you do know this is the GNote >>Galaxy Note GT-N7000. Unless you are ref to the GNote 7000.
But I glad you used the Search button to bring this thread up...from June - Sept.
I had this problem once and it was because I changed the screen resolution (lcd density). Google play understands this modification as a "not compatible device", so some apps doesnt´t show at "My apps".
Before that I tried a lot of solutions, like cleaning the google play cache, etc., but nothing worked.
