I've seen some people are getting their own Priv's, so I thought I would remind people that there's an odd bug making the Blackberry apps not show up under my apps in the Play Store. You have to go to the app pages manually and update from there, as there will be no notification. Perhaps @thurask can answer if the apps start to auto update?
I've seen this kind of thing on other Android devices. Seems like stock apps don't register for updates until you update them at least once, and then you get on-going update notifications. At least, that's been my experience with other devices. Once my Priv arrives, I'll be sure to add my experiences with it. Hopefully tonight! It's marked as shipped through Rogers' Reservation System since last night, so I'm hoping tonight... Really can't stand my LG F3Q anymore =\

Same here.
Just reboot your device after first setup. Then go into playstore and update all of your apps.

I love how the iPhone does it it... by showing a number next to the application updates icon showing you how many and which apps can be updated. A simple click or two and your app is fully updated.
Will Android be able to do something similar? I don't see anything currently on notifying us of updates in the OS. There is a downloaded section in the android store that shows which apps you have downloaded and installed. I guess in here it could say "Update Avalble" next to an app that has been updated?
I really hope this feature is already there or will be added ASAP. There's going to be a tone of software hitting the store soon and most devs will probably release updates every 1-2 weeks. Right now, I don't think it's even possible to see what version of some apps you have installed.
So far what I encounter is that once I open and application and an update is available it asks if I want to download the new version. No so sure about the OTA build update...
Actually, it's quite annoying, for the apps I've had that are updated the update box pops up every minute or so until I hit update. This is only for marketplace apps.
My point is, don't worry. If you have an app that needs an update you're gonna know.
That's good news. I'm glad they thought of this. It's one of the things I disliked about WM. I'd have to open each app and check the version number, and then visit the devs website to see if there's a newer version available. I really like that I can now spend more time working (or playing) and less time checking on things like the latest updates.
That would be pretty annoying to have it pop up every minute or so... hopefully they'll fix that in one of the next updates. But if it were me I'd just update it right away so it wouldn't effect me.
What apps do you guys have giving you update notifications?
I had the following apps for the past 2 days that had updates but Android never notified me of the new updates:
QuickPedia
ShopSavvy
FatSecret
I had to visit the marketplace and scan for apps be newest release. If I clicked on one of my installed apps and there was a newer release it would have an "Install" link instead of the normal "Open" link.
This came up in another thread and I just wanted to put it out there in case others have the problem and don't follow the thread. I know I have bought apps before on the Marketplace but now, for some reason, I can only see apps that are free. I am using the most recent Google Ion image, with sqsh.
Any ideas?
-Xrom1.5r4c
-Verizon
-No Paid Apps Available
Just noticed that, I wonder if its the rom or if in fact its our carrier signature thats blocking the paid. I know Verizon is launching its first Android Handset by Motorola called the Sholes A855 and I am wondering if they disable the paid apps option in lieu of its own app marketplace. If anybody else can confirm this, please note like I did what carrier, rom and if you can access paid apps.

I don't think it's a ROM issue as we both use different builds. I'll try a few things tonight and see what I can come up with unless someone else does first.
Looks like we aren't the only ones... but this was back in July and there was no reply to it:
http://androidcommunity.com/forums/f12/android-market-not-showing-paid-apps-22043/
Hopefully we can get this resolved.
Have tried all of the roms and I am on Sprint. I NEVER get have seen paid apps.
i second that from verizon. never have had paid apps. tried all roms. Im liking this latest hero rom though. i think im gonna stick with it. pretty smooth

I'm on Sprint and have paid apps on my phone, but none are showing in the market recently. I wondered why I couldn't find Bloo or Cachmate! To confirm I went to Applications > All Applications > Menu >Change View>Priced Items Only and nothing was returned.
I also saw that there is a new market coming out. When it is launched will we be able to use that on our port?
Looks like this might be our problem, this was posted two days ago (about the time we stopped seeing paid apps) so I'm guessing whatever change they made could have done something to our ability to view and purchase paid apps. I'm debating whether or not to post on the official forums about our problem.

Hi everyone,
We made a change today that should fix accessibility issues for some Samsung Galaxy and HTC users. If you're still having issues, please let me know.
Thanks for your patience.

EDIT: I posted a question on the google support forums, hopefully they will answer or at least look into what could be causing the issue: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Android+Market/thread?tid=44ab7732ede802ef&hl=en
I know that the no-paid-apps problem is still persisting but my luck has just changed for the worse. Now, I can only see about 18 apps in total on the market and I can't filter out free/paid.
Use the market enabler found here:
http://code.google.com/p/market-enabler/
Load it up, long-press on the carrier of your choice (I use T-Mobile US) and select "Use this profile" or whatever. Should do the trick.
However, after running the Donut Market, as noted by some people in the Donut thread, most of the apps in the market will disappear, even if you go back to Cupcake.

Yeah, must have been the Donut Market that screwed me up. Running Market Enabler does nothing for my phone, guess I'll be getting the Sholes when it hits Verizon in a few weeks.

if someone that is getting all paid/free or just free apps could download

I am also paddling right next to you guys. What I tried was clearing the phone of my google login data. This allowed me to create a new google account the next time I launched GMail or Market. I was then able to see all of the free apps on Market. Unfortunately, when I re-cleared my google login data, in order to login back into my real gmail account, I was back to only seeing 20 apps.

Yeah, market enabler won't do anything for our Donut Market Corruption, AFAIK.
However, over on the Hero forums, they don't seem to have a problem with the Market. So I asked them about it, and Maximus asked to see our build.prop, which I provided for him both from our cupcake and donut builds. If I have time tomorrow I will download a Hero image and compare their build.prop to ours and see if I can figure anything out.
OK... I may have figured some more stuff out.
I was browsing the Sapphire forums, and found that the dev of one of their Donut ROMs changed the device name to MyTouch, for reasons similar to the issues we're having:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4674402&highlight=market#post4674402
Again, if I get time tomorrow, I will look into modifying some roms to see what results I can get. Hopefully we can get past this. And hopefully the problem doesn't follow me to the HTC Hero I'm getting next month.

Hey guys i'm using a HTC Polaris with ION build. After tested a tattoo build i suffer from the same problem. For me there are also FREE Apps not showing! for example shopsavvy! is this shown in your market?
Thanks
P.S. I also used Market enabler without any effect!
are not coming through all the time. Sometime I get notified of updates but most of the time I have to go Downloads and check for updated apps.
Not sure if something breaking it or if it's a known glitch. I can only find some old threads about the subject (prior to 2.0) so I'm wondering if anyone experiencing the same issue.
My N1 is still stock and not rooted or anything.
I've noticed this too, i usually have like 2+ updates when i check in downloads but i never get notifications. I'm new to android so i thought that was normal or something
I take it you've set it (Market App) to notify you when there are new updates?
I have but the notifications are not coming through when there are updates.
Welcome to Google's Android Market. Sometimes you get 'em, most times you don't. Been that way since day 1.
Thanks for letting us know.
Just like the title reads I think i did well over a hundred FDR since getting this device mainly out of boredom.

I am not positive but I don't think they will show up unless they have been updated through the play store. Once they have been updated on your device, they should be there.

I have had this device since it came out and all the bloatware would show up in the my apps just would show update or disabled if i disabled them. Doesn't even show that.

My Apps is a record of what you have installed before, not what you have installed currently on the device viewing it.
Therefore, if someone were to say, nuke the bloatware from the list (had it ever been installed from the play store), then it would have to be reinstalled manually to make it back on the list.
Auto-updates when getting a new device don't count for the My Apps list I do not think unless new permissions are required, which requires end user interference to install it.

Mine did too, but I have had previous Verizon phones which I assume I had manually updated before the days of debloating. I've since cleared them out and they are still not there the last time I looked.

Are we talking about the play store app list or the one on the phone?
If we are talking about the one on the phone this entire time, then this is all easily explained. When you disable an app, it uninstalls any updates you may have applied beforehand.

I've never seen that, but probably because I've always uninstalled play store apps and not.disabled them.

I'm not interested in going through the process of restoring my phone every month so I can flash these incremental updates. I know on my older Androids that there was an app/program I could freeze with TiBu that would stop the phone from checking for updates. Can anyone tell me which app that is on our Nexus 6P?
I don't mind going through the steps for a real update, I just want to make the decision myself on when that's required.

I killed updates from the play store and that killed the ongoing notification of the update. Still downloaded it automatically but at least I don't have to see it.
Thanks, but I am hoping for something a bit more surgical than that. I have Play Store set to notify me of updates, but not install them automatically. I'd hate to turn it off completely.
Same research
I was doing the same research several time ago, but without luck, I already tested cleaning data from PLAY SERVICES, and disable the automatic aupdates from PLAYSTORE, no onde of them works in they way you expected too, after some reboots it comes back again, I just tried to disable the UPDATE SERVICE and worked but not after rebooting which keeps the problem, I will let you know if I find something.

I tried shutting off notifications from Google Framework Services, as suggested in another thread, but I still get the update message upon reboot. I also froze DMService, but that didn't work either.
