Hello, I have a lot of market app that showing an update eventhough it is updated already. Like when I click them there's no update option only open and uninstall. It annoys me so much that's why when I select 'my apps' on the market I have to tap each app to see if there is already a legitimate updates. It is 3.1.6, I'm encountering this even on 3.1.5...
Any solution to this?
I've get this too, been driving me up the wall!
Clearing cache, wiping market data etc, nothing stops it
I had this happen also and thought I was the crazy one.
Personally i hate the new market app upgrade.
It shows very few of the apps i actually have installed, therefore i have to manually search each app to find out if there is an update available.
Therefore, i just found it better to keep to uninstall my market update, stick with the old market app and freeze the market updater.
I found the new market app far too slow anyway.
Its the new market and on all Android phones, very annoying and seems to be getting worse too

After installing appbrain and syncing with my epic, it shows an app called "Gwang-Jyu Subway." Now I know I never installed this app so I chose to uninstall it. On my phone it says I am trying to uninstall "system update" and it does not allow it. The entry for this app in the android market says that it had been removed. Google for the author "hyun min cho" and samsung resulted in me finding this http://www.linkedin.com/pub/hyunmin-cho/25/5aa/663. What is this app that appbrain is finding? This seems potentially shady. Did some samsung engineer try to shove his own app in the phone as "system update?"
Does anyone know what this is?
To clarify: The only way to see the name of this app as Gwang-Ju Subway is to log onto the appbrain website. The phone itself identifies it as "samsung updates." I wiped the phone with the stock EB13 build using the .exe tool and installed appbrain immediately after. This app shows up on the phone. After syncing with appbrain and logging onto the appbrain site. I can't find any good information as to what is going on here anywhere.
Can you remove it through adb or terminal emulator?

Phone seems to think its a system file. I don't know what exactly I need to be entering to remove it.
The entry for this app on appbrain is http://www.appbrain.com/app/gwang-ju-subway/com.samsung. Is the "com.samsung" making this a false identification?
I just installed ERA Go Green, and found this as well... but I don't have app brain. It shows up in "my apps" in the market, but is not installed. the only thing that may have caused it was using Market doctor in Titanium backup. If it tried to link the com.samsung apps, it would have found this program...
I've noticed this before too, but it was when I was using AppBrain. I chalked it up to a confusion with AppBrain, but I never looked into it too deeply. I remember the number of downloads being quite small, so I don't think it's some rogue Samsung app, as there would be many more instances of it if that were the case.
Freeze it...or uninstall it...problem solved. I think you need it for ota updates.

It is a bug. The Gwang-Jyu app is using the same name (com.samsung or something like that) as a Samsung System app. So when appbrain reads the apps installed on your phone, it pulls in the subway app.
I believe appbrain fixed it.

I agree with everything here except for the last line. The problem is with AppBrain, not your phone. The Gwang-Ju app was pulled off the market long ago, but they've kept this entry in their database, and so one of our internal processes is falsely identified as this app that barely ever existed. Ignore it. Don't go freezing random system apps.
Freezing system update doesn't have any ill effects. I've done it, and you just need to unfreeze it if you need anything updated, like PRL or something else. If you put a certain PRL on there for some specific reason, freezing this is what will enable you to keep that PRL so Sprint won't roll it back.

I dont have app brain and never had but this app is showing up in my andriod market it says it is unavailable if I click on it but it still shows up. I think it has to do with me restoring market links with Titanium backup. But I cant seem to find it in TB to freeze delete or detach the market link.
Hi, I'm using android Gingerbread (SD) and was downloading some apps from the market when my phone ran out of battery. Now when I reboot there is a constant notification in the notification bar which says that my download is in progress, but the progress bar doesn't move, and I don't know how to get rid of it. Even tried rebooting, but it doesn't change
Go to Market and uninstall those apps and then install it again. If the apps already installed but the Market is still saying it's in downloading progress, then download Easy Uninstaller to uninstall it and then install the apps from the Market.
I went to the market and it shows the apps on 'My Apps' as Free (as opposed to installed, like the rest of the apps). Oddly though, I only tried to download 3 apps, but in the notification bar it shows the apps I was trying to download 'and 8 more' ?!
Anything that you downloaded from the Market will listed under My apps. Sometime the ROM that you installed have preloaded apps and the Market regconized that under My apps as well. Follow the steps on the above post if the Market got confused on the downloading/stuck/updating apps.
Try going into Settings/Applications/Manage Applications/Market and clear data and cache. Then it should stop constantly always downliading those apps.

I don't quite understand what you mean, but I've left wifi on for a while and it now has reduced the number from 8 to 6 apps to download. I have not got any notifications that they were installed but hopefully it will just clear all the downloads. Only problem is that if the screen turns off it stops downloading, so I have to leave the screen on.
Its in your phones settings under applications. That happens sometimes when ur phone dies with apps being downloaded. Just click on the things i said in the order i listed them and the downliading aops should go away instantly

Can anybody else not see the market updates in the my app section in 3.1? I had to find the app and press manage to update flash and tested it by unistalling the update. All I get is the list of my installed apps. All the ones with updates disappear.

Yeah as of right now i can't see the update portion of the market without going to each individual app, I've tried rebooting, clearing cache/data, fc-ing. Can anybody else just tell me if they can see this part of the market?
yeap, same here
Market made a big update, they extends app purchases to 99 more countries.
And as you can see web market have a update.
I was wondering if anyone else had this problem with the new Market. 3.0.27?
When I go to update a few apps that need updating they will update, then an hour later or so they show up again in the list of apps under Marketplace that need updating.
It's like it re-populates itself. I updated Trulia, Chomp, & something else & it shows there is still an update when there actually isn't. Is there anyway to clear this, or is this some type of bug?
I've tried to update Chomp like 5x & it is still the same version & even shows it was updated. All of the sudden it shows up again in the Market as needing updated.
It's like the Market won't clear it as already being updated.
Does the same thing to me. Very annoying.

Haven't tried the info below your post though.
Odd deal though.
Mine stays like that even after I update apps, but goes away after a while.

I have .27 but it still has the problem of not showing all of my apps in the "my apps" section. I've tried to clear data & cache which did nothing. I never noticed this in the old Market but downgrading doesn't fix it either so i am back on the new 1... any1 know how to fix it?
So there seems to be a bug somewhere, but who knows where. Is there anyway to contact Google or post somewhere about this issue? Since you can't download it from the Marketplace (since it is the Marketplace) where do you post these bugs?
Mine still shows all 3 as updates. Also too i've noticed that automatic updates sometimes unchecks itself. I'll look at the Chomp update & it is greyed out when I actually checked it.
All I know is that it is annoying & needs a fix So if anyone finds one, please let us know.
I actually never had that problem with the last Market so I assume it is the file.
No issues on stock froyo.

Does it with Go Launcher and Go SMS and it's pissing me off
I wonder if the ROM has anything to do with it or the version of the Android OS we are running.
I'm on 2.2.1
ACS 1.2
Genocide 2.0
That's what i'm running on mine.

IDK but I wish Google would fix it. I am running stock & have never rooted my device. I don't think I've seen the unchecking issue but it never has all my apps in the "my apps" section. Even when I did the last Maps update it was in there then I opened the market later & it was not in there. I can go to the app in the Market & on it's page it still shows as installed & set to autoupdate but never stays in the "my apps" section. I can see a few apps that stay in there like they should but most do not.
Thank God for Appbrain though otherwise updating apps or at least checking if apps had updates would be much more difficult
Did it to Facebook with me. That was the only time though.
Mine was doing this. Clearing data and cache from the app settings didn't solve it, but I used Titanium to detach the relevant apps from the market, then reattached with Titanium; it seems to have worked. I'm hoping this is just a temporary glitch that will get resolved.

I wish there was a fix for this now because I noticed that if you have an app that goes thru an update then the auto-update checkbox gets un-checked after you update. I noticed this with Friendcaster & Picasa Tool's latest updates
I have a g2 and some apps which have updates such as angry birds or facebook have no update or even uninstall button, just open, can I get some help? Thanks, ill post a picture of what I'm talking about in a second

So are you rooted?
If so, use something like Titanium Backup to wipe market data or do a cache wipe and reboot. That's how most market issues are fixed.
Unless they are pirated, I've noticed on the new market it will pick them up but you cannot manage them.
Apps preinstalled cannot be uninstalled (unless rooted). And the new market sometimes fails to show the update button, and will sometimes show an update even if there is none. Don't worry, it eventually works itself out. Google was supposedly pushing out a better version that is slightly less buggy.

I updated to the newest version manually and that fixed my problem.
