[Q] Installed apps keep disappearing from market

Hey there,
all my downloaded apps keep on dissapearing from the list of installed/downloaded apps inside the market.
Don't get me wrong, they are still on my system and I can use them, just the market thinks they would not be installed.
I am on Virtuous 0.9 and done no restoring of apps or what so ever.
I did a backup a few days ago with Titanium but that can't be the cause, because they keep on dissapearing....
I can go to the market and just install the apps. They will download and install just as normal. And for some time they will just stay in the list of "my apps"...
But at some point (totaly random to me, maybe after some other apps I istalled or so) the list is almost empty... sometimes with one or two entries left of the most recently installed apps.
I know I can reassociate apps with the market with Titanium (well need the donate version...) but I don't know if it helps me, because the list keeps on dissapearing and I don't want to spend money on something that does not help
Does anyone know a solution for this problem? I don't want to reassociate all the time.
(Also tried to open the market database in an sqlite browser... well but failed, is there something to decrypt or anything I have to do in order to open it?)
Well thanks for any advice,

Wrong Forum Board you should post on Q&A page.
Anyways, do a checkin, type the corresponding numbers from virtual keyboard..

G2 and Desire Z Q&A
For all of your questions about the T-Mobile G2 and HTC Desire Z

Oh well sorry
Was browsing the false forum, when I desperatly pushed the post button...
Won't happen again.
Okay I typed it, it gave me the message that I am checked in...
Now will the apps stay in my market? Hope it worked but I can't really verify it because it hapens so arbitrary.
Thanks anyway and I hope it's done...
And... well could someone move the post?
It's like a shame

well the android market been acting up recently according to engadget, perhaps thats the problem?

I am having the same problem occasionally. Installing ANY new app seems to solve this for me.
Rather annoying though.

A restart usually solves the problem for me. I dont bother anynore though. As long as my apps are installed on the phone, I couldnt care less if it shows up in myapps or not.

Same issue here...
Just spent a better part of an hour redownloading and installing most of the apps back to wake up this morning to them not there anymore...
I guess my only care would be getting the updates...otherwise doesn't matter.

@ huh28
You may have a different problem if you have to keep downloading and installing applications. When my apps disappear from myapps and i search for them in the marketplace, it always shows installed which prevents me from downloading and installing the app again

Maybe time for a wipe then...:/
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

Well I think my problem is the same as huh28's...
And I thought of a wipe as well...
But since my initial post, no app dissapeared. Maybe it was the checkin, maybe it was the markets fault as Beagan mentioned (but I did not encounter other symptoms like the ones at engadged with the android market website).
But if it keeps that way, I'll never now... but well that would be great!
But as an exchange I lost my message-database couple of days ago... that's an other story, but a thought crossed my mind, if it could be related and could have something to do with the sqlite in the background. I'll keep an eye on that, but it's kind of hard to track...

i had the same problem but i went into the recovery and deleted the cache and davlik cache and restarted the phone and all the apps were back again!
maybe that will help you too.

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.

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

[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!

Google Play does not show all installed apps

When selecting My Apps on Google Play web site I can only see half of my apps.
I have about 250 apps installed from Google.

You able to fix market links using Titanium backup?

i encountered this problem once...
i forgot how i fixed it, probably by rebooting or logging in different google account...

Try to delete data of Google play in setting - application
then restart phone

This is on the Google Play web site, not on the phone.
I just noticed this problem too.

If you install apps via apk (eg. applications you got on xda) that Google has no record of on the play store, they won't show up.

Hey guys,
I'm having the same issues with my stock Galaxy S III. A couple of hours ago, I became 4 fresh devices directly from the Authorized dealer here where I live. I wanted to update them and set them up properly for my co-workers. I've installed 4.1.1 on all 4, with kernel 3.0.31-256827. Everything went smooth on all devices and I was really fascinating what a wonderful device that is. Afterwards I've created 4 Gmail accounts for all of them (from the same IP address) to install the needed apps from GooglePlay. But one, somehow, someway didn't show any pre-installed apps in GooglePlay, such as GoogleMaps, Gmail, Google+, which should appear, because they're installed same procedure in each case (every device has got the same versione, same firmware,..).
..to focusing back on little-vince's post;
I hope that's not true.
I don't know the way these apps were installed or cooked into, but 3 of 4 phones went smoothly in my case.
All 4 were before the update on the same version, which I did not wrote down. The problem also is, that on another device I had the problem to update the apps via GooglePlay which were shown. There basically was an *update* sign, but when I clicked it there was the text that it's not available in my area.
I somehow think, that the problem is somewhere in the language/locales.
I've switched between the default language on the phone, rebooted it, and somehow I made it work on the second device to run updates,
but on the first device, not even a single installed app shows up, which is funny :silly:
I've also tried to clear cache, wipe everything, factory reset etc.., but it didn't worked out.
If you find a solution, I'd be glad to know.

Sir, you stated Galaxy S III, you do know this is the GNote >>Galaxy Note GT-N7000. Unless you are ref to the GNote 7000.
But I glad you used the Search button to bring this thread up...from June - Sept.

I had this problem once and it was because I changed the screen resolution (lcd density). Google play understands this modification as a "not compatible device", so some apps doesnt´t show at "My apps".
Before that I tried a lot of solutions, like cleaning the google play cache, etc., but nothing worked.

The Play Store doesn't work anymore.

Long story short: since yesterday I have been unable to update any installed apps, or install new ones. When I try to do so, the app shows in-store as "downloading" but nothing actually happens and it's stuck at this stage forever. Stopping and restarting the service doesn't fix this, nor does completely powering off and on. Internet through the browser works as usual, as do all internet-enabled apps. I haven't installed or removed any software recently - the only change I did in the past 2 days is flash a new CWM recovery (went from 6.0.1.0 to 6.0.1.9) but I don't see what this has to do with the store.

I had this happen to me. If you go into settings > apps and clear data from Google Play Store, that fixed for me.

What rom are you using?

Stock. However I'm still on 4.1.2 - I blocked OTA updates until the current 4.2/4.2.1 bugs are fixed.

It's a long shot, but you can try to install the latest Gapps package from recovery. Or remove and re-add your Google account.

Would you happen to know where I can find the latest gapps package? Thanks!
(edit) found it http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20121130-signed.zip
Edit2) Oops the 11/30 gapps don't work with 4.1.x anymore, will try 10/11 instead.

http://goo.im/gapps
Since you're on a 4.1.2 rom, get the one for CyanogenMod 10.0.x

I same issue last night. Downloads were very slow. All stock on latest ROM.

Holy f*! The browser works, however downloading through the browser doesn't. I get "download starting" then nothing happens. Same with Chrome. I quickly checked if I'm not out of storage space - no, I have 8GB free. WTF is going on?

I figured it out. last week I was trying to solve my battery drain problems (can't find the thread anymore) and I ended up disabling the media storage service. That apparently disabled any app from downloading anything. I have re-enabled it and now can download. The store works, browsers work etc. I just hope that the battery hogging doesn't happen again.

When I have play store issues I just sign out of Google talk and sign back in and it fixes my problems .. also close the market after..

If you can't download at all, a good method can be to clear data from "Google Framework Services" , delete google Account, reboot, recreate your Google Account.

I had the same problem. Enable download manager fixed it for me. After I did that all the apps I had tried to install started downloading and play store stayed open and did not force close.

the fix was in post #11 . op can you update your op post as solved. in post number 11... Also the media data usage and battery drain was fixed in the small update 4.2.1 then the 1.xx mg update fixed this... hope this makes sense.
