market rant - No more facebook! - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General

Okay, I was going to complain before, but held off. No longer.
It's stupid that the market totally blocks programs that it "thinks" you can't run.
Right now facebook, which I've been running perfectly fine for months, is now marked incompatible with the note.
But a big warning/disclaimer if you have to. But totally block?
It's just plain annoying, especially for apps which 99% work.
1/21 edit: it was my modified dpi

yea, but you can't download it from the market anymore, which is going to annoy any new purchasers.

Same with google voice search which I have on the phone already but themarket seems to think I don't have it installed and when I try to instal latest version from market it tells me not compatible with my device and can't download it.

No such problem for me. Just to sure I uninstalled Facebook, rebooted, and reinstalled from the Market.
What happens if you try and install from market.android.com? Does it show as being incompatible?

yea. can't see it at all in the market on my phone. on website it says my mytouch4g is compatible. and not my note.
strange how it works for you - perhaps its regional? I haven't actually looked for the app in the market for ages. many roms ago, hah.

i found that reverting to stock dpi, 320, fixes this problem. i think its uncompatible if u set u to non standard dpi values.
im pretty sure thats how i fixed mine.

working fine

240dpi works instead of 320dpi, can't do something like say 284dpi however, not only will you find you can't install some new apps, but i found some apps mysteriously uninstalled themselves from my phone when i set my note to non standard dpis

Mine even more horrible.

you dont need that app to buy apps..
just buy one and you get forwarded to the web-interface.

werks, you were correct - going back to 320 restored compatibility. thanks!

@garytube,
Thanks I registered it online and able to purchase paid apps now.

[Q] Strange problem with Andorid Market

After flashing new rom and gapps I can't find some apps on the market that I used to have on my Tattoo. When I go to android market from my computer I can find that apps but it says that I already have installed them, although I don't.
Help.
market.android has something like an history than a real time status ... i uninstalled a lot of apps, but they are still in my list

Why so many apps missing?!

OK, so after the Gingerbread update a TON of stuff I purchased in the market is no longer available.
Tweetcaster pro, FIFA, Abduction world attack, Paypal (official), The Sims..... What gives? I've never stolen software for Android, and I don't want to. I want my apps back! Ideas?

Use this apk to fix your market. Reboot. Should solve your problems.
Didn't work. :L Man, this is SUPER annoying.
You sure you did it right? I had the same exact problem with my apps...a lot of people have. That's the fix. Before I applied it, my Slingplayer wasn't showing up in the market...30 freaking dollar app..now it is.
I downloaded the .apk, installed, then rebooted. Nothing. Are you on Gingerbread?
Could someone running GB tell me if they can find tweetcaster pro or FIFA in the market?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
You need to run the app though lol. After you install, open your app drawer and run Market Fixer. Click Fix, THEN reboot. Yes, I'm on Gingerbread.

So if were not rooted this won't fix the issue?
I've had this problem for weeks. On stock 2.2, rooted and the apk didn't help. Seriously annoying bug.

I don't believe it. I fell for the same thing. I just thought you installed it and it was suppose to fix. which it didn't. Been tryin to figure this out for two days. LOL. What an idiot me. Well at least I wasn't alone. hehehe

I was able to fix this, as I seemed to get a version update on my Market stealth (as it had the AdMob setting added to my Settings screen, where 2 days ago, it wasn't there). When that happened, all my apps returned.
Right before I found this, I did run the APK from above, but I used QuickReboot to reboot. Coincidence?
Now to get the 55 updates I missed over the past month...
I'm not rooted. That was the issue. I don't want to root either. EA Games took care of me. Now to email handmark.... :L

May I ask you why you don't want to root?
I know it's a dumb question, but have you checked the market website? I had a similar issue and was able to find and download the missing apps through the site.

You're welcome. It's good to know that there's at least one part of the market we can rely on.

Try uninstalling updates through Settings>Applications>Manage applications>All>Market
Cheers
Cant uninstall updates if on cherryblur since its built in, it hasnt been updated. I also need the old market, since you cant download some apps. All the THD games in the Tegra zone does not show a download button, im guessing since the market doesnt know I'm on an atrix and its not compadible?

New Android market

Has anyone tried the new market to see if it works on the TF??

It would seem that it does. I just grabbed the update for Google Maps and before the update started, the EULA for the Market popped up. I didn't see any visible changes before I exited though.
EDIT: sorry, looks like the update I got was to 3.3.11
I tried it and it wont install. Im not rooted but I dont think that has anything to do with it.

working on my rooted transformer no problems.
Works here too (rooted). In landscape mode it shows bars on each side.
Did you uncheck Unknown sources in Settings Applications?
im guessing its the phone version of the market judging by the black borders as opposed to the tablet version.

You don't need to install it, just move the apk to /system/app (the name should be vending.apk).
Edit: don't forget to set the correct permissions and clear market data in Settings > Applications > All
I got the "new market" a coule weeks ago as an automatic update? and I have to say its SHIIIIT :S
Why did they change the tablet versio? the market it came with was perfect?
I agree, the previous version was much better. Now it's loading for ages and is really more for phones than tablets.
I am now in v3.3.11, and the market is really faster !
I drop down from 10s to 1s to show any page in this new version !
Much better ! It was really annoying !
guys i installed the new market but i dont like it.how i can revert it back to the previous version?i have revolver 3.9.5 rom!!thx.
Auto updated for me today. Seems to be working well so far

Google had quite some issus with the performance on market .. i've experienced many outdated infos on my app-statistics.
At the moment it seems to be fixed .. but they have some translation issues right in the developer-pages .. whatever - nothing neckbreaking ;-)

They even removed the charts for a while because they were showing huge (really huge) drops in most applications (even the most popular ones). Charts are OK now, but installs in developer panel are still much off I think (they show different values than the charts and they doesn't seem to update - or maybe my apps are so unpopular, haha).
All this said I think it's not releated to the slow market application. It should be managed by different servers.
I've been using the 3.3.12 version because I wanted the music stuff that wasn't in .11 and I'm very happy with that version. I know I found it here on XDA by using the search function.

Android Market - Can't Buy Software - Says I already bought it

I was trying to download Facedroid - Purchase it - and it said I already purchased it and won't install. I went to applications and uninstalled the updates for the market but no go. I did read through some of the posts on similar topics here but didn't seem applicable. Any ideas??

Which ROM are you on? maybe you can clear caches and give it another shot ......
Just a thought... are you using go launcher? They recently fixed a problem where icons were not showing up for installed apps. My thinking here is its already installed but you just can't see it.
If this its the case, install the update for go launcher. goto settings and manage apps and uninstall the program you're wanting. then go back to the market and get it again and it wont hide from you anymore.
I'm probably a mile off base, so onto the next suggestion if I am.
If you can read this it was sent using my GT-P7510.
I'm running stock OS. No changes. I am running ADW though. I went and cleared cache and removed updates for the Market. Odd....it says I purchased it even on the internet linked site so that leads me to believe it's my profile with Google.
Funny enough...I don't mind trying apps, but if I want it, I'll buy it. I wanted this app and was trying to pay for it and Puff the Magic Dragon showed up!! No app for you, come back...one year!
Try closing ADW and see if it shows up in the stock app drawer.
Did you remove your credit/debit card off your google wallet/checkout account? I did that once and had the same problem. Once i added and verified my mastercard, i was able to download again.
same problem here, (even) the (web) market thinks I've already bought the app and I can't buy it anymore
Im havimg the same problem. I cant purchase swiftkey, says on the apps page i purchased it, but when i click install it says i didnt purchase the app.
Many people are posting they have the same problem, but nobody is saying if they have tried the suggested fixes or not. ???

The Opposite
I get the opposite, Market tells me I purchased an app correctly then tells me when I ask to install it that I did not purchase it, lol
What a joke Market is
Got a reply from the android market people they said it's a known problem for some apps and are working on it

Thanks for a definitive answer. Not a fix for now but at least one hope.
Sent from my GT-P7510 using XDA Premium HD app
I'm actually having the same issue, but it's with downloading ADWLauncher EX itself. The market website thinks I've purchased it, but I haven't. I sideloaded ADW first, to see how well it works. Deleted it, tried to purchase it, not working. Cleared cache, uninstalled, reinstalled, rebooted, everything. It has to be an issue with the market itself. So, yeah. Just a small confirmation.
