false positive market updates

Seems like every other day I get a notification that there are 2 updates for my apps on the market. If I click that notification, or go there manually from my apps list, everything is already up to date.
Here's the fun part - it does this both on my epic and xoom, so it seems more account related than device related.
What can I to do ferret out this weird market issue?

I've been getting that a lot lately too. Not sure how to get rid of it.

Use app brain app from market, but first try removing Google sac acct and resigning in

Went to 'manage applications' and picked market - says 0 data used, so the clear data and cache buttons are grayed out. What now?

You can clear it in Titanium Backup.

[Q] Not seeing installed apps in market

After restoring my apps with titanium I don't see any apps at all in the my apps section in the market. Although when I search for an app it says installed. I tried installing another app from the market but it didn't help. Then I tried doing the market doctor thing in titanium but it didn't help either. I then tried to clear market cache which was impossible to do from manage applications (because of a bug that shows 0.0b for cache and clear cache is greyed out) so I cleared cache partition in cwm but that didn't help either! What do I do to see my installed apps again?? Help!!

I been having that same issue. I have 70 apps and only 2 show in the market "my app" section. I been trying to figure out how to fix this as well.

How many of those apps did you pay for?

Wrong section....
Stop using titanium backup and restore only what you can no longer attain from the market .... its always the best idea to fresh install your apps which is a pain but for the sake of cleanliness
Also when you do this you'll end up with a lot less apps because the ones you remember are the ones you Actually use

I had this happen after a fresh install, after a short while all was back to normal on its own. Try a reboot.
Actually I think I cleared cache on gmail which required me to sign in again and I beleive all was normal after resigning into gmail.

What if they're free? and I don't believe there is a way to re-attach them to your market account. I've just stopped backing up apps and re-downloading them

Last I heard Roam Control was no longer available through the market.

I've had it happen for both paid and unpaid. Usually I just wait until the app has an update and then it'll appear. I will sometimes use Titanium to resurrect apps that have left the Market, such as ShootMe, Roam Control, etc.

I used market doctor to re attach, clear data for the market and it worked fine.

You are correct, it's available at www.roamctrl.com now. Just wanted to let you know in case you were trying to download it somewhere.

i have the same issue with the market after using titanium... no apps show up in my apps, but all of them show up as installed. the only way i have found that works to find updates for them without searching all of them is to use appbrain, and that will find updates for them. except roam control of course, but it lets you update it thru the app now. by the way MrGreg, i love roam control. it was the first app i paid for and was the only app i bought for a long time lol

[Q] Google Hangouts / talk

Howdy,
I'm wondering if anyone has been able to get the Hangouts app to work on their N4. I'm running the latest nightly of CM 10.1. I went to install Hangouts from the Play store and it says that I have it installed. However my app is still called Talk and has the Talk interface. Has anyone had luck getting this updated?

Nevermind heh. I just used CM File Manager to move the talk.apk from /system/app to a backup location. Then I went to the Play store and tried again. This time it installed the new version.

I had the same issue. My solution was to go onto the Web store and install it from there to my phone. Seemed to do the trick.

Interesting, I tried that first but it didnt work for me.
I wish I could edit my title so it is more descriptive...

Just uninstall the original Talk app first (using Titanium or anything that's capable of remiving system app).

Seriously i rated this with 1 STAR.
It must say: "Replaces Talk AND REMOVE THE F$$$ING VOICE-CALL FEATURE FROM YOU Talk".

Its best to remove Talk and then install Hangouts.

Does anyone know how to get this working with the N4 if it's not rooted?

Nope - I have two stock, unmodified, new Nexus 4's... one upgraded no problem with the new Google Hangouts that properly replaced Google Talk... and the other, upgrades with Google Hangout but in the app list and everywhere else, still shows Google Talk but no Google Hangout. Under all apps, Google Talk is still shown. If you open it from there, the old Talk launches. If you search Google Play for Google Hangouts, it shows 'Installed' and if you open Google Hangouts from there, it launches the old Google Talk.
Very strange.... gonna try clearing some app data and what not to see if it resolves.

Should I also unplug it and wait 30 seconds?
I have the same issue as OP. I can't uninstall Talk (no root) and the play store is showing that hangout is installed. I open it and Talk comes up.

Please let us know if you figure anything out. I'm on stock as well and I'm starting to regret it because of updates like this. I bought this phone for updates but so far, it seems to be behind on that(4.2 OTA took a week). I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling google+ and that didn't work. I thought it might be tied to g+ since Google is trying to make it more involved with Android. I might root this weekend if I don't get it soon.

I had the same problem earlier trying to download it from the play store app, so I went to the desktop play store site and remotely installed it from there and it worked.

Google have addressed this as follows:
Google said:
NOTE: If you aren't yet able to install Hangouts on your phone or tablet, or the Play Store "Open" button takes you to the old Talk app, hang tight, we are rolling out Hangouts to everyone over the course of several days. Rest assured Hangouts will be available soon for all Android 2.3+ devices, tablets included!

I was having the same issue as others. It shows as installed on the phone (v 1.0.0.1) and via Play Store in a browser.
I was able to use a browser and install it to my wife's Nexus S though.
Here is the APK for v 1.0.0.678017 which I was able to side load and works fine on my N4.
Due to APK file size, I had to upload it in a ZIP archive.

Thanks mate, I had the same issue on my JB Xperia. Your APK worked.

N4!

Didnt work for me at first. Then i went to the web app store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5nb29nbGUuYW5kcm9pZC50YWxrIl0.) and pressed install. Installation was pushed to my device and now it works great!

I made the same mistake. I removed the update "3.6.1.44747389", but now the market pushes "3.6.0.44338848" instead. Not sure what the difference is, but I side loaded a backup of the newer version.

The apk SpookyTunes posted worked for me, I have it on my Galaxy tab 2.

Hangouts not compatible with my device? (Rooted)

So, the play store will not let me download Hangouts. How come?

It downloaded just find for me and I'm rooted. Is that only app not downloading for you?
Love the 90s Good Times.

sounds like you're missing files you should try and unroot to stock then reroot

You can use Titanium Backup to uninstall Talk and then download Hangouts from the playstore. There was a bug that was supposed to be fixed earlier that wasn't letting people update their Talk to Hangouts.

Try updating through the Google Play website. Have it send the update to your phone. Worked for me.

Error 500 on Google Play Store

Hey guys, just noticed as of this morning I cannot download anything from the Play Store. Tried both mobile data and WiFi and still brings up Error 500. Did a quick google search and was told to clear cache in both Google Play Store and Download Manager but still getting the same error.
Anybody else experiencing the same problems or know how to fix this?

Same issue here, different device (xperia tablet z). Just started today.

came across this thread while googling the same issue (different phone model though, xperia here)
maybe its a google-sided error?

Same issue - 9:20 pm Central
Weird. I got an RMA replacement S4 this afternoon. I got it booted up, installed a few apps and all was well. I came home, used the phone, installed another app from the play store, and then all of a sudden, I was getting the 500 error. Now I can't download anything from the Play store. Very odd. I have wiped the Play Store cache, removed the google account and re-added it... that doesn't fix the issue. I assume this has to be a server-side issue because you guys are seeing this today also.
Anyone still experiencing problems?

yep same here. just started about 30 minutes ago, cant access any of the "All Access" music only my local and continue to get the 500 error when updating any app. I have a moto x on AIO and data connection doesn't matter 4g/wifi. Also tried resetting up my APN, clearing cache of google store but not resolving this issue. Seems to be happening across carriers and devices.

Not working on GS4. Just got the error right now.
