I am experiencing something funky with my marketplace. Everytime I go to "My Apps" I get a server error. I can connect online and I can search for apps with Marketplace, it just won't show me my downloaded apps. Anybody having this issue? I think it started after installing AppBrain and uninstalling.
i had the same problem today but i didnt install anythimg.
Same problem here all day

Something similiar is happening with my marketplace. Im not able to download apps from marketplace on my phone. I haven't been able to do this for about 2 weeks. Sometimes It comes back up and im able to download but most times it won't work. I cant even flash roms anymore because I can restore any of my older apps.
Started with CM7 nightly 32 for me as well.
I just get a blank screen.

Same here searched the web and tried everything suggested : unmounted card, cleared market,cleared caches, logolged out and in google talk.
Works fine if u wipe everything, but any titanium restore of any app will break everything again.
Either I get "download failed" or "package is invalid"
Been happening for weeks.

getting it too but it works.
In other threads it was reported that Market was behaving erratically; group consensus, as it wasn't specific to any particular ROM/kernel/mod was that it was a Market issue and *not* a device/user issue. Convenient patsy to blame was the recent change to support the web-enabled Market and perhaps some ongoing maintenance around that.
HTH
Still happening to me. I started right after I rooted and installed Sprint Lovers ROM. Maybe its just a coincidence.
The market will either not download or will download and then return the invalid package error message. Happens on 3G, 4G and WiFi, even after I clear the market data and cache and reboot.
Very curious.

Few others to try:
1) Delete the .android.secure folder on the SD card. This is where apps you moved to SD are located. If you want to keep them, move them back to the phone before deleting this folder.
2) Power cycle Wifi.
Its probably an issue with market itself, but a few other things to try couldn't hurt.
My phone will start acting like it is downloading. But before it gets to even one percent the download just stops, no trace of it anywhere. Pretty annoying to say the least. However, every once in a while it downloads without a problem. Strange. Been happening about 2 or 3 days.

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

I don't have the marketplace thing under manage applications, but I used the app in the first reply to sort it out instead. Thanks

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.

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
In my market, it says i have all these apps not installed. But they are all installed. When i click on them it doesnt say install, it says open. The apps run fine n are in my drawer. Is there a way to fix this? Its just really annoying when my "Pro" keys arent being used. Like, titanium backup says im using the free version when i have the pro version installed, same for my launcher pro key.

EDIT: can this be moved to the Q&A section, accidentally put in general. Thank you.
Same thing with me... google maps, youtube, and a few others are in the Not installed section, but when you select them it says installed, and you only have the option to open. I'm assuming they are still being checked for updates when I open Market... at least I hope they are. More annoying than anything else. Any thoughts?
Open up the "Manage Applications" and find Market. Clear the cache and reopen. Should show up now. Had to do that on mine.

I have the same problem, and agree it is annoying.
It started happening when I did a titanium backup after unlocking. So I guess there must have been some problem syncronizing with market after.
I have solved the problem by uninstalling the applications that were listed as needing updates even though they were already updated. And when reinstalled, the notification went away. It's not a very elegant way of fixing the problem, I know.
If anyone else has a better solution, please advise.
I learned this method from another forum (can't remember where); it always works for me:
Exit all applications on the phone
Home > Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > All
Market: Clear Cache, Clear Data (OK)
Google Services Framework: Clear Cache, Clear Data (OK)
Reboot your phone
Open Market app and Accept the TOS
Market > Settings > Content filtering > Set level > Show all apps (OK)
Market > My Apps: no more missing apps, or false positives for updates
I've tested this many times with the new Market app on my AT&T phone in both stock GB and piCRUST. It always fixes the display of installed apps within the Market app itself. But the list of apps showing on the Market web site under My Account (https://market.android.com/account) may not be immediately updated with the results. Sometimes the Market web site will be updated later rather than sooner, or only partially rather than completely. But this local fix will usually affect the web listing to at least some degree.
(Space reserved for future rant on market web site lameness...)
Did it, now i get a server error everytime i open the market. Just reinstall apk of new market?
EDIT: just used task killer to kill it all then retried n it worked. All my apps are saying installed. Thanks so much.

I see that error occasionally after using this fix, but I also sometimes see it after re-flashing the phone, and after other seemingly unrelated actions. It usually goes away for me if I just turn on wireless first before opening the Market app (no need to reinstall it). I think it's related to some error in the app or settings initialization, and not specific to this clean-up routine or anything else.
And yes, I've found that using a task killer also seems to help. Maybe indicative of another app blocking the Market from opening correctly at first run? I don't know, but once it goes away it doesn't seem to come back.
Thanks, this worked flawlessly.
Could I suggest you add "Solved" to the title of this thread so others that might have the same issue could use this?

Got it. Ive had to re do this fix after my phone shuts off, so its not permanent on my device. It might be for you, either way, it fixes it for awhile.

One other thing that will confuse the Market about what's kosher: using a non-standard LCD density.
In my case I had hard-coded build.prop to set ro.sf.lcd_density=300 and ever since I did that the Market website kept telling me that most of the apps I'd previously installed were not compatible with my Atrix 4G(!) My workaround was to revert to the default ro.sf.lcd_density=240 and then use the "LCDDensity" app to temporarily set it to 300. Whenever I need to go to the Market for something I just reboot the phone first and it reverts back to the default setting in build.prop.
If you've got it the other way around (e.g. build.prop is using a non-default setting, and you're using LCDDensity to override this back to the default), then that might explain why you're seeing this Market mischief return on reboot.
Even if you're not using LCDDensity (or you're using something else like "LCD Density Changer" which can make these changes permanent), you might want to check your current LCD density. Ditto for other property settings that might not be using their defaults.
Here's a list of all the things that the Market looks for to determine if a particular phone is compatible with an app:

Hi there,
For some strange reason when I go to my apps in the android market the list on the left hand side shows all the apps I have on my device, but it says that they are not installed! I have the option to install them again (even though they are installed) but when I press install it just opens the app instead but the list does not change it just still looks like it's not installed.
it's like the market is not recognizing that I have the apps installed. I know it seems very confusing.
Any body else encountered this problem befor?

This.
Randomly happened to me a few days ago. Said my mobile had nothing in it. If you try and install via web browser, it will say this error.
Tried clearing the cache but it's still the same. Tried installing through the browser but it's still the same, I get an error saying app already exists.
lists still show nothing is installed even though they are! lol!
This market really has some strange behaviour :-\

Just fixed it... I had to completely remove my Google account in the settings and set it all back up and re-sync everything.
