[Q] Disappearing apps (like Fandango) after JI6 manual update using Odin 1.3

I have updated my Vibrant from stock (non-rooted) with the official JI6 tar file using Odin 1.3 and using the instructions as supplied and now I can't see some apps in the market like Fandango. Please if you also manual updated your Vibrant using Odin 1.3 and the official JI6 update, please go to the market and enter Fandango and see if the Fandango app comes up. There is certainly something wrong here as the people who got the OTA update seem to not have any problems with the market but the ones that got the manual update using Odin they have this disappearing apps problem.
Can anyone with any idea of what's going on shed some light? many thanks.

You can use the Eris Market Fix and that will fix the issues you're having. It does require root, though.
I also manually updated to JI6 and couldn't see the apps, but this fixed it for me.

I've noticed several apps are unavailable after using odin to flash the ota update. I used a freshly installed stock rom and applied the ota flash w/out root or any other modifications.
Missing Market Apps:
Assasins Creed
Google Earth
House M.D. game
Fandango

Thanks for your reply. I actually saw your reply on a different thread and tried it after rooting the phone and I can tell you that it did NOT work for me. So this is not a full proof method by any means. So Eris Market Fix did NOT solve the problem. I'm hoping someone with an understanding of the issue can offer a full proof method on getting this resolved as it looks like it has affected lots of users.

Remote for iTunes is also missing for me. But Angry Birds Lite now show up.

Did you download an app after you did the market fix?
As soon as I did the fix, it still wasn't working. I downloaded an app, left the market, reopened it, and it was working after that.

This is happening because the JI6 install you are using is not an official OTA dump, it's the leak which has an altered file causing the market to not allow you to see protected apps. Fandango, Pay-Pal, etc, are all protected which is causing your issue.
You either need to wait for your phone to prompt you for the real OTA and take a risk with that potentially bricking your phone or alter that file.
I do not know which file it is, I just read about it yesterday.

Just updated through odin and everything seems fine. Fadango is on the market. Angry birds is the only new app.

No. It was not the JI6 leak file but the official JI6 OTA file that recently was posted here on XDA for people to manualy update. I only hope that one of the software developers here who has run into this issue can shed some light on why it's happening and how to fix it.

I can see the file that post is referring to and I do have ASTRO but how do I go about editing it on my Android?

SGS Tools from the Market, run the market fix and have a nice day.

Thanks guys for your suggestions. I used SGS Tools as suggested after rooting the phone and now when I type Fandango I could see 3 apps that I could not see before but the main Fandango app still is not appearing. I also noticed that Groupon also does not appear. I know some people mentioned that these are all protected apps, but can someone explain what that is? They are all FREE apps so why should they be protected and why they would not appear on the market list when searched for? Many thanks.

I am noticing the same after receiving the OTA update (Tmo Official), all of the apps listed are not showing in the market and most importantly, slingbox (which I already paid for) isn't listed either. I was able to download the apk but strange that paid apps that you have already purchased do not show up.

In that case, it is apparent that this anomaly is another case of Google being slow to update its server-side Market database of valid Android builds. The Market suppresses access of certain "protected" apps from devices whose signatures are not recognized.
What is unclear to me is why the lag in updating the database: Is this entirely Google's operational problem, or do the carriers or the manufacturer need to take more timely action to initiate the process? This problem is not unique to the Vibrant update. After the last two firmware updates of the Sprint Epic, access to protected Market apps was broken for several days.

From what I read this seems to be a Samsung not notifying Google of the update problem. As of today it is now 3 full days and counting and still having the same issue. Regardless it is annoying and needs to be fixed in a much more timely fashion.

Yeah, nothing is working for me. Not a huge deal, but I would like some apps back.

This didn't work for me. It's says that make sure the phone is not connected to the computer.

market.google.com updated...

Allows you to manage APP installed via the website and have them pushed to your Android devices. Not sure if anyone has looked at it yet.

Im on Bonsai ROM with Market version 2.2.11 and its not working for me. The website finds my Epic but apps don't get pushed to my phone when I click install. Is there a newer version I need?

I havent I'm not by a computer but I'm interested though....
Is it like the app store on itunes?
I'm tired of updating my phone and not having acess to certain apps
This would take all the pain away!

Worked for me, but I'm on stock.

Wasn't that one of the features of Gingerbread? It thought they mentioned that at the Froyo push last year.

They actually first showed this off last year at the Froyo event.

Getting SERVER NOT FOUND error?

I was able to use this today successfully. I remotely installed 3 apps, with absolutely no problems. It recognized all the programs already on my phone.
I'm on Nebula 1.0.7, so stock is not required

I'm on ViperROM 4.0.2c and am able to use it. The thing I like the most about it is that it has kept track of all the applications I've installed (which isn't the case when I flash my ROM). So I can reinstall the APPs throught he market. (yes the market keeps track of my purchased APPs, just not the rest of them via the phone.
It also makes installing the same APPs to multiple devices at the same time via the same Google account very easy.

I am on Quantom 2.7 and the website just doesn't see my phone at all. Wonderful.

are you guys just going to market.google.com??? I can't get to it from my computers.

Google the term "market"

Thank you.
And for anyone else reading this, the correct website is:
https://market.android.com/

I'm running Nebula and when I go to the web market, all of my apps that I've downloaded are there, but it won't recognize my epic. Anyone else found a fix for this?

Works on the current nightly of Cyanogenmod 6.
Shows the list of currently installed applications, and the instant I told it to add Angry Birds (not that I'm interested) my phone began the download.
Awesome.
Combined with the way all apps reinstall after a new flash, I should not need to use the crappy on-phone application again!

Related news article: http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/02/02/google-fixes-its-app-store/

Well, I just flashed to a new ROM and am now once again having trouble with the sync.
My market.android.com list shows like 20+ applications, but Bonsai ROM downloaded 2 and acts like it is done. I'm going to have to go down the list and search for each of them now. Or maybe I'll try the same from market.android.com
EDIT it's working, but the list of installed apps on the phone's Market won't even update...

Time to say "goodbye" to appbrain. Finally.

Oh nice
Thanks for the tip. I was able to use my computer to browse the market and it was able to see my installed apps ok. I am running stock DI18.

Says no phone associated with my account even though I can see my market history. I'll chalk it up ito being a new service and not fully up and running yet.

New marketplace keeps re-populating updated apps

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.

Have the same problem... not very diggin the new market
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App

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

[Solved] Market 3.1.5 not receiving updates.

I am on Cognition 1.5.1 with JKay's v.10.1 theme. It all started yesterday. I can't seem to receive any updates and the notifications as well. I've turned on update notifications, mind you. I also can't seem to download anything at all. The progress bar would just be stuck on 'downloading' for the whole time.
I've tried clearing data, uninstalling updates, using 3G or wireless but to no avail.
I have a friend who is on GingerMOD Vanilla v0.4b and he is having the same problem as well
Anyone having this issue as well? Do you reckon it is Google's issue?

EDIT: Title should read Market 3.1.5 not receiving updates.

Not uncommon for this to be Google's fault, but I've managed to download a couple of things just fine in the last 24 hours.
Update notifications are pretty useless, I never seem to get them until I actually open the Market app by which time I already know there's updates.
Do you have issues if you try downloading an app you've never had installed before?

You're not the only one, version 3.1.3 was buggy as hell, 3.1.5 a lil better, but still takes ages to load installed apps on phone's data, shows updates when there's none, hangs when trying to update or download new apps. Strange thing is market works fine if i access apps from appbrain market app, so it's definetely a problem in the google market app as downloads start and work fine if redirected from other apps.

Update: All is good for now. I can finally download apps again. Google's problem it is! Cheers.

[Q] New Market and FC

Hello!
New Market on motorola Xoom Wi-fi every time I want to upgrade giving me FC. I don't know how to fix it. Tried to delete upgrade install on the Application but it is upgrading by itself. Tried to clear the cash, clear data.
Nothing helps.
Please, who know how to fix this problem? Looks like new Market doesn't work on Honeycomb.
Guys, help me, please? I really need your advice?
Thank you!

What market version do you have?
Sent from my Xoom using xda premium

If you have Documents to Go installed, remove it. It has a problem with the manifest and Dataviz needs to update it, you can use the version from their website in the interim.
Or grab today's free Amazon Apps, Quick Office and Quick Office HD.

Tried everything. Market. 3.1.6, market 3.3.1.1 or something like that, all of them giving me fc.
Guys, please, I need a solution. Can somebody give some advice, please? Or maybe somebody have old mafket app flashable trough cwm? Because google doing nothing for honeycomb.
Sent from my Xoom using xda premium

The problem is almost certainly related to an installed app, if you don't have Documents to Go installed, started removing apps one at a time until the market begins working properly and report back when you identify the offending app.

I had a thread for the same thing a page or so back.
documents to go didnt seem to cause me much grief (but i removed it anyway), but i did have a problem with Enhanced Email FCing the market (which i also ended up removing on the xoom, working fine on the desire).
noticed my market updated itself to 3.3.1.1 (or similar) the other night too - same problems as the last version.
just waiting for ICS update now and will see if that fixes stuff - I imagine it will and/or devs will update their apps to ICS

Do you have apps that you side loaded that the market reported as not compatible? I get the market FC any time one of my side loaded apps tries to update.

I found that it was a certain alternative market that caused me to "loose" all of my apps... I thought that it was the new market and even went back to the moray 2.2.1 to have the old market.
I figured out it was that other market because I uninstalled it and bingo, I had my apps...
I was pretty stupid and used titanium backup to "force" the market links and ended up with one heck of a messed up android market.... Now I am working through that..

Uninstalled the app called "Download all files" and sims like everything working for now.
Thank you very much!
Sent from my Xoom using xda premium

actually i think i had getjar on there... that's missing from the supermarché now - I wonder if that was the issue
i was also guessing that by the time ICS hits the xoom - and all the devs update their apps for that most of this issue should go away

FWIW, I had the exact same problem I uninstalled Enhanced Email and the problem went away. Too bad, I really like Enhanced Email!
