Market Apps Does Not Inform on Updates

I'm on JFADP1.51 CRB43 along with the new 1.35 Hero Theme installed. The Marketplace has suddenly stopped informing me about updates.
When I access my "My Downloads" section, it does not show a title for "update". Whenever searching for the specific app I already have installed, it shows me that there is an update available. This goes along with just casually browsing the "All" app catalog.
Could this be because of the ADP1.51 version of the ROM? I've been using this ROM for more than 3 weeks.

It looks as if this is targeting all a variety of ROMs.....:

i am having the same problem. I haven't paid my bill in a couple months (being jobless sucks) so I assumed that's why....?

I created another thread that's dealing with the same issue (just throwing links to each other to help anyone that comes along with the same problem hopefully find a solution).
momentarylapseofreason proposed a possible solution. Although it didn't work for me, I'd be interested to hear if it works for others:

Simple resolution...
Go into Settings-->Manage Applications---Market
Clear Cache
Then go back to the Market and you should see the updated versions (Worked for me with HandCent and MobileDefense.

Thank You bitbybit!
I really appreciate it that I'm not the only one experiencing this issue. I was reading your thread and found the link to my thread from there.
EDIT: Seems that clearing the Market cache does nothing...

Haha, no problem I was going nuts thinking I was the only person whose apps weren't updating
I'm hoping it's not an intentional thing that Google decided to shutoff access to anyone w/a hacked rom/root or something
Hopefully it'll be fixed soon!

Shouldn't be related to hacked ROMs - I am on stock 1.5, and have same issue.

so do i for this market not updated for the app, right now im using jf 1.5 ADP....we just waitin for the confirmation from google why this thing can happened

your phone is still on after a few months of not paying????? they turned my phone off at midnight the day my bill was due a few months back, i wasn't even able to call t-mo and figure out wtf was going on. i was a day late and they turned off my phone even though i have been a loyal customer for 7 years

I also started experiencing this problem a couple days ago, im on JF 1.5 ADP with the Hero theme. If you search for it manually though, it will say update available. Weird stuff.

Same problem here...it was working when I was on Cyanogen 3.2...ever since I upgraded to 3.4.4 about a week ago it stopped working.

same for me ... good to know i'm not alone .

Work Arounds!
I am having the same issue as well, but it does not seem to be ROM related.
I have been using Cyanogen's ROM's since version 3.2+ and have never had this issue until recently, but seeing as how people with stock phone's are having the issue as well.. that eliminates the possability of it being ROM's.
I tested out clearing Market Cache which did not work. The only thing that seems to be working for me is going through and searching for the app manually, which will list an update for the app your searching for, just not in the My Downloads option.
OR
You can download aTrackDog from the Market which will find updates to all of your apps and you can download from the Market using that. But if anyone else seems to find a workout or fix, please let me know

I'm having this problem also.
Is anyone that has this specific issue able to download paid apps? This seems to be broken for me as well.

Yep -
I have this issue (UK Magic on O2 with Cupcake stock). Noticed it last week. Bought CoPilot (UK) on Sunday and 2 apps today without any further issue.
My 2 cents: I did briefly try a non-Market app (using the appropriate checkbox) the other week - could this be a cause?
I'm currently using aTrackDog to get my updates (I've tried clearing the cache and it did nowt).

Why don't you start using aTrackDog? This should help for your problems while someone will find the solution for this.

Well damn. I cleared cache and even verified the permissions of my app-private directory. I've wiped and reflashed.
Both problems persist.
Just out of curiosity, what was the non-market app?

*struggles to remember*
sigh - sorry can't remember (I've been trying a lot of apps lol) - whatever it was it wasn't what I was looking for as I deleted it (and the downloaded apk).
I'm hoping this is a market bug rather than a handset issue...

wifi my friend. My voice and data has been off for a couple months lol.

[SOLVED]
Hi,
I've found a way to solve the market issues and missing updates issue.
I'm running CyanogenMod-3.5.2.
These are the steps I recall I've done to fix the problem:
1) Open the Terminal and:
Code:
cd /data/system
mv packages.xml packages.xml.old
2) reboot the phone,
packages.xml will be recreated
this may took a little time so be patient.
3) you have to enter your gmail account info again.
and some apps could forceclose.
4) reboot again
5) I've run also the fix_permission script in the Terminal,
but maybe it is not necessary, so you can try to skip this step:
Code:
/system/bin/fix_permissions
6) run the Market app and you'll see Update available in My downloads,
if there are some updates for your apps, downloading and installing also
works again.
7) You can delete packages.xml.old now if you want:
Code:
cd /data/system
rm packages.xml.old
That's it.
So far I've not noticed any malfunctioning, all my settings were retained
and all apps seem to work. Hope that I've not forgotten any important step,
so USE THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK.
UPDATE:
:-( sadly this worked only initially, the missing updates issues is not resolved
but at least i can download apps again. Seems like a file permission problem tough.

[Q] android.process.acore stopped unexpectedly

Hey guys....I've had the Glacier for two weeks and I couldn't be happier. I got the OTA 2.2.1 and rooted it without any problems. Then, today I got a "android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly" only when I go to the phone dialer or contacts. Everything else works perfectly. Earlier today I changed the boot animation and the splash screen...both work flawlessly. I changed the boot animation back to stock and see if that would fix it but no luck. I have rebooted and taken the battery out several times but no go. I checked around and no one else seems to have the same issue. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated....Thanks in advance.
Edit...I just fixed the problem...I had downloaded a Tmobile voicemail app that was causing a conflict. I uninstalled it and I'm golden again. I appreciate the help. Thanks.

I've had this come up intermittently since rooting, and haven't been able to nail it down to one specific action or app, etc. It's happened since doing perma-root, and doesn't seem to matter if I'm running stock ROM or CM6.1 Alpha (which I flashed last night - had this pop up once or twice since).
It's annoying, but hasn't caused any real problems so far.
Would be nice to figure out why it's happening, and find a resolution.

What apps, if any, have either of you deleted since rooting?

Does it write any useful exception information in the log file?

I haven't deleted any apps...just hid them under general settings using Launcher Pro...the only other thing I did different today was unlock the SIM using the code Tmobile sent me but I can't imagine that has anything to do with it....Just can't access the Phone at all or the Contacts without a force close...I'm stumped...

Trying to figure out a good way to upload a log file...
I think it might have something to do with permissions..it said among other things...
W/dalvikvm*3381):Refusing to reopen boot DEX'/system/framework/com.htc.android.pimlib.jar
not sure what that means....

Please post questions in Q&A section.

Yep, I'm having the same issue. It does it when I'm using a few applications like Twidroid, even ChompSMS, and another one. I'm thinking it has less to do with what applications I'm using at that time (meaning it would do it no matter what application I had open) but those 2 I use 95% of my time on the phone.
& I as well have not deleted any applications only freezed them with Titanium Backup Pro.

Problems with Google Now since 4.1.2 Update.

As the title states I have been having problems with Google now since the update to 4.1.2. I'm am running unrooted life stock Jelly Bean and the issue I am having seems to be Google now hanging up while attempting to answer a question. The questions that start with a "Who is" seems to cause it the most trouble. Once I ask the question it will ding to show it accepted the question but then it will just spin looking for an answers without ever answering the question. This issue could also likely be attributed to the October 29 voice search update Google pushed through the place store.
I never had this issue until I upgraded, so I am asking the community of experts here.
Have you encountered this issue?
If you have how did you fix it?
Than you guys for reading and sorry for the post length.

Hey, I'm having the same problem - I have also tried reverting the app back, reinstalling the update, factory wipe of the nexus 7 and wiped cache etc. No luck here I HAVE found that if you ask (by voice) something like "how tall was Napoleon Bonaparte" it works perfectly and very quickly. Also, while web search does not work 99 percent of the time (I find it does after a reboot for one go then stops working) image search through Google search works perfectly.
This only happens with Google search, not chrome.
Let me know if you find a solution.

Having search problems here also.
Basically, hasn't worked for me since day 1 after purchasing the 32GB version this past Tuesday & installing 4.1.2 JB.
Same symptoms - whether type or voice search using the search box at top of the screens: hangs on web search & other search with link tabs at bottom giving no results.
Image searches do produce results though...odd.

Changing search options to Google.com from Google.co.UK fixed it for me.

I just did it, and for some strange reason it WORKS...i've done at least 5 searches, vague ones, and it searched the web. THANKS!!!
EDIT: But NOW, it won't do the voiceback like "What is 3 times 3" it should come back with "The answer is 9" now it just does a web search...
EDIT2: Ok I rebooted device after checking and UNCHECKING the option, and it works TOTALLY now. I am a happy camper ^_^

Thanks guys for all the responses, I am glad I am not alone in this. It seems like it's getting better but the voice search is still not performing the way it used to. If I try to search for info on say Micheal Jordan, it doesnt read back his information like it used to. I don't get the card anymore either I just get the google search. I hope they find a fix for this soon.

[Q] nexus 10 freezes and

Dear All,
Have had the nexus 10 for a few weeks now and love it. Recently though, the tablet has been freezing quite a bit. Usually happens when I am browsing the web. In these instances I have to reboot to get the tablet functional again. Anyone else experience this and if so any suggestions on how to fix the issue? Also how do I check for updates on the nexus 10. The normal About Tablet field under settings does not seem to have the system update option anymore.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Check some other threads, I read a lot of people are having reboot/freeze issues whilst using the browser, some have suggested
methods like not upgrading to 4.2.1 and disabling some 2D GPU.

I did do a search but it did not provide a clear solution. Some people have said that they removed HD widgets. What widgets are these purple referring to? Also what do you mean when you say disable 2DGPU?
Finally, where is the system updates option in the Jelly bean?
Thank you so much for taking the time to respond.

Basically, it seems to be related to Google Location Services & some apps that use that... You could turn off location services unless needed in Settings... Or you could use a custom ROM... Most custom ROMs include fixes not yet included in stock...

I've got the same issue I have my Gps and location off and I still get reboot in chrome and dolphin browser. Sometimes it freezes during Google play app updates and downloads.
Could be an app could be the os , not hardware so it will get fixed eventually.

I'm sorry to disappoint you guys, but on my Nexus ten running CM 10.1-20130205-NIGHTLY-manta i got a freeze and reboot 10 minutes ago.
The wireless bug also does not seem to be fixed. On google Hangouts my wifi connection drops after a few minutes and gets back in seconds, enough for g+ to disconnect from the hangout.
Google needs to fix this soon. Makes the tablet very unusable sometimes -.-

i got no reboot issue at all since the first day

In latest CM10.1 build 20130205 seems fixed hang or restart issue for me.

just tested IR with smart tv remote app. worked like a charm. i have not found anything nonfunctional at this time =) looks and runs terrific!

forgot to mention that the build is 4.4.1 as well

two issues?
This ROM is so smooth, no crashes or anything. That being said the Google now voice activation ( OK Google ) and the internet local results by garb shown up on the stock kitkat dialer are not working. The dialer search is only giving results from the device itself
Any word on this?

there's a bug with the CPU performance in that if you try and set the max and min values and check "set on boot" they somehow get reset to the default settings or get maxed out. this only happens when "set on boot" is activated.

Just an FYI the CM Nightlies have a CPU bug. Mine was charging for an hour and it gained 8% battery and was so hot I didn't even feel safe holding it. (This is coming from someone who has done alot of crazy and stupid stuff with my phones) The charger was hot as hell as well. Not sure if its a charging issue or CPU clock/voltage issue (it runs a lot hotter then GPE under load) but be warned.
Switched it back to GPE and its fine.. Also keep an eye out for ART, don't have it charging while making the switch (android is upgrading screen). The phone will get molten and I am not joking.

the CPU wasn't an issue in CM10.2 so it's something in CM11...will probably end up going to OmniROM instead.

I havent been having any issues with overheating. in the latest build however there are constantly force closes of the sound search process. not sure what thats about.
Anyone else having issues with the internet search results not coming up in the dialer search bar?
also why is this thread in the general category and not development?

yes, i am replying to my own post... apparently if you go to settings -> accounts -> Google -> Search and enable google now, then the "ok Google" hot word that activates search in the persistent search bar on the home screens does not work.
As soon as i disabled google now, the ok google hotword activates voice commands again, as it should.
Is this normal?

I was getting these error messages and all the latest nightlies weren't installing for me either, with no information given with the error message,
So after many hours of messing around, I figured out the problem. I use clockwork to flash my mods. And I downloaded "ROM Manager" from Play Store. When starting the program, I noticed a message saying there was a new version of clockwork available and asked if I wanted to download it. I figured, what the hell, couldn't hurt! So I downloaded, installed it. Then updating to the latest nightly (cm-11-20140525-NIGHTLY-m7.zip) worked! No more problem!
I hope this helps some people install their newest nightlies!!!!#@ Enjoy,
