well first I have this problem where my phone tells me there is an update, but I tap on that message and it takes me to the market with no updates needed - or I will get a message that says 6 updates available and there are only 5 of them on the list - WTF?
I been gettin the same msg the last couple days with no updates when I go to the market. Most the time when I do have updates it never showes in the status bar.

I have had this message for about 3 months so far - just about every single day!
is it maybe a malicious update of sorts that has figured out how to hide it self but cant hide the update message or something like that?
This has been a known bug ever since the marketplace 3.0 launch. I'm pretty used to it by now. It's not malicious, just annoying.

Are you using more than 1 Google account? That was happening to me until I realized the Market was showing me apps for the wrong account. Hit menu -> accounts to change it.

Happens all the time to me also. Market just has some fundamental bugs. I also get a varying number of apps because some decide to "vanish" for a while. Solution is to clear market cache and data. Unfortunately this resets all the settings including security.
I only have 1 account
I have noticed that at times there are apps that wont show up even if I search for them as if its blocked or something like a region lock, it will go away and I can find the app after a restart or sometimes a day has to go by - but is there any way to hack the market sorta like you can remove the region lock on movies
I have this problem every single day, is there a fix for it yet?
check each app you have on market to see if it need an update

Has anyone else experienced this? At times I will try to download and app from the market and it won't download?? I don't know exactly what that means but it happens only when I try to download apps???

i was wondering the same thing, it happens to me when i try to update my apps and thereafter i can't download the update or anything else.
Did you remove any apps that may remotely be connected to market/talk? There's no reason those would be FC unless something is missing. As a matter of fact... I don't think they ever FC on me in 2 years of owning Android phones.

I'm not sure the OP means FC. If he/she is talking about what I have experienced, which it sounds like, sometimes you select an app to DL from the market and it'll just sit there. Nothing in the notifications, but if you open the market and go back to the app there will be a download progress bar not, uh...making progress. It's just kinda solid grey with no animation.
In my case, I just canceled the download(s) in the market, and restarted my phone and they worked. Oddly, a full shutdown/turn back on didn't help! Only restart.
I haven't had any problems with GV (except for the wonkiness signing in with a Google Apps account). I'm interested to know what the OP's issue with GV is as well.

You are correct that is exactly what happens most of the time when I try to download apps from the market. The l only reason I mention google talk is because - and I heard someone else mention this on another post - if I simultaneously try to open google talk there is a message (unable to sign in) or something to that affect.
There has been a coupe times where if I just put my phone down and walk away or do other things
It eventually kicks back on and downloads the apps.
This has been my one and only problem so far. Other than this it runs better than any phone I have had.

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.

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
Has anyone else had the problem where you're browsing the market on your a500, click to download an app, and it simply doesn't download?
About 70% of the time (conservative estimate) the "taskbar" shows that an app is downloading, but the "My Apps" panel in the market doesn't show that download. If I leave it alone, the taskbar reports that the download completed, but I don't see the app anywhere. I also noticed that if I'm browsing the market on my PC and I send an app to be downloaded on my tablet, if the "My Apps" panel isn't open on the tablet, the app will not download.
I'm running the stock OTA 3.1 ROM.
I get that a lot. I am forced to hit back and then select install or download the app a 2nd time. Not sure why.
I have always had this same problem ,even after updates from the Market. I hate the Market. It turns into a major thing just trying to download anything. It's very frustrating and takes 10 minutes of trying, trying again, cussing, connection time outs. Its pretty bad when we have a Android device and its a Android market and they still can't get it right. Maybe it's a Honeycomb thing? Maybe they should call apple and get some advice?

+1
common issue
Go into settings
Application
Manage applications
Browse to the market app
Clear app data.
This will sometimes fix that issue but only for a while
Worked for me
Good luck
I've had the same problem. Running Taboonay custom ROM version 2.0.
market
Same here have had that problem and so does wife. I get a kick out of wife she gets frustrated and impatient and swears at it.....lmao
So for a while there I was having the same issue. I went into clock work recovery and wipe dcache and battery stats and now all is well again. I would recommend that.

My issues seems to be that when I try to pull down an app, it tells me that it is unable to purchase. And suggestions?
I've had that a few times where I couldn't purchase an app. I found that purchasing through the online market works fine and auto-installs into the right device. It might have something to do with the lack of phone and IMEI number; could be wrong though.
Also, buying stuff with my phone then installing on my tablet works fine.
Go to settings applications Tonto market app then clear . Simple fix. Simple fix
Tried all this stuff still dont work
So i tried all this stuff and it still wont even download anymore it just FC when i click the my apps button FC this is really annoying. Went to market on pc it even says the app is installed on my device and it is soooooo not. Saw on another thread someone said Google was blacklisting users they know are rooted which i think is just dumb and dont believe, who cares what we do to the device we are still running android and want to purchase apps from the store. super lame well gonna try few other things then guess reinstall rom and kernel and see if that helps thank got for titanium backup
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

So a few days ago I noticed ads popping up in my notification bar that lead me to various websites if clicked. I haven't installed any apps in awhile and I have no idea where they came from or how to get rid of them. They even survived the flash I did from Mik G 1.76 to 2.0. Does anyone else have this problem or has had this problem and gotten rid of it? They look like this ;
Sounds like one of your programs got linked somehow to ad spaming. Had this happen a long time ago. I also had access to the program site from my computer. There was a setting online that allowed me to recieve " mail " or offers " from there partners. Unchecked that and it all went away. But I would also suggest something like LOOKOUT. It's free on the Market.
Yikes!!.. Use Airpush detector from the Market it'll tell you which app is doing it. so you can remove that nasty stuff!
Going to have to check that out .
Thanks for the replies! Got both apps and easily fixed the problem, you each have my gratitude

I had this issue for a long time. It's a new feature that developers have a option of adding to their apps. For example if you update some new versions of apps those updates could have the new add-on in them. I thought I had fixed the issue at first also and then randomly they started appearing again. The only app so far I've found that can track down these new add-ons is addons detector from the market. Go ahead and install that just to make sure. After it searches through all of your apps filter it to "push notifications" and un-install any apps listed in there. I only found 3 apps out of almost 200 that I have installed that were causing the issue. But it is very annoying when you have things like, "you won a free ipad" ect poping up in your notification bar.
I second that. Nothing more annoying than freaking Pop ups, and unwanted adds.
