Hi,
Just got my NoDo about five hours ago, then almost 7 trial apps and games have been prompted by the tile to be updated:
1. Need for Speed
2. Doodle God
3. oh, I can't remember the rest
but one thing is certain, after the download and update of the apps, everything was removed from the live tile except 1: Doodle God. Now I remember posting this as annoyance whenever I update some apps and still warns me to update when I was at 7008(pre NoDo). I was answered back then that if the app is purchased (non-trial anymore) the update gets done and it won't appear again. Another thing is try to uninstall the trial app and install it again. That way you would install the latest updated trial-mode of the app.
That is what I was about to do to the Doodle God game, I uninstalled it and wanted it to buy for good. I am hesitant to buying it before since it only has one profile, which means only one person can play.
Now, I can't find Doodle God anymore, I tried using the developer site but the wp7 download link gives me the marketplace where it should suppose to have a try & buy button but the buttons are not there. The thumbnail and description of the game and the "show details" is there but there is just no download, try, or buy button.
Now I don't know if it was officially gone from the marketplace since I can't find it scrolling down to almost every game there is.
Is it just the post NoDo thing or what?
I had that happen to me a few times with certain apps (long before nodo), in that it wouldn't show a Try or Buy button.
The workaround that I figured out, is to open one of the thumbnails of the app, maybe swipe to a second image, then hit the back button. All buttons would then appear.
Haven't had to do that in a long while though, your results may vary.
But yeah, I don't see it anywhere. Could have gotten pulled for a number of reasons.
Trying to download it through Zune states "Bad Application Info"
So who knows. Would suck if it got pulled, looks like a cool game.
I'm trying to do it to the point that I wanted to reset my phone. The only thing that's keeping me from resetting it is the sms backup and restore, which wp7 currently doesn't have.
and yeah it's a cool and an addicting game. thanks

Has anyone reset or replaced their (faulty) phones yet? What happens to the apps you've downloaded from Marketplace?
I have a few questions:
1. Are they automatically re-installed or do you have to do it manually?
2. Does it show you a history of the apps you've installed?
I suspect my phone has a fault and I will be sending it back for a replacement, should I be keeping a list of any apps I install or will market place do all this for me?
I have a mixture of paid and fee apps on my phone.
Thanks.
I literally just swapped out an hour ago. When I entered my live ID, the apps I had downloaded came back onto the phone. Nice feature....
Thanks this is very encouraging!
As a windos mobile user, I'm really having to eat my hat. Marketplace is impressing me more every time I use it.
I have been on Blackberry, iPhone and Android on various phones for the past 18 months and I have to say I am impressed as well... its missing some apps (evernote, dropbox and a skype solution) but I know those will come soon.
I really hope this OS gets some real momentum...
i hope it too
I've reset my hd7 twice (for testing purposes not due to faults), the apps I had didn't auto-download, they were listed as purchased and available to re-download. Which would seem a more normal behaviour.

There is a VOIP application currently on WP7.
Its called Voxofon and you can view a video demo here.

Mine also didn't auto re-install when I went from the prototype device to my developer's HD7 would have been nice to have the option.

Me too. swapped my phone due to a suspected hardware fault. Apps didn't auto-download.
Its been suggested that applications downloaded directly on the phone wont auto install, but those purchased via the zune desktop software will.

I take back everything I said!!!!
I have had my new phone for 24 hours now. Up until my last post nothing had downloaded. I left Marketplace open on my phone and left it and went away. 4 hours later all the I had previously installed had automatically downloaded!!!
I'm really impressed. I think you have to launch marketplace and then leave it a while for it download the apps.
Will leave the games hub open to see if any games download back onto my phone

You are correct...they do not download. If, IF you purchased your apps on your PC from Zune, those apps will download.
You can also find all the apps you purchased in the Zune software on the PC....Settings, Account, Purchse History. phone. This is not actionable...but at least the list of apps is there.
I had the same experience -- was confused why only a couple of apps redownloaded, and I had to grab the rest myself.
What I do miss is a list of 'purchased apps' in the marketplace on the phone itself. I can't remember them all!
I guess if I have to reset again, I'll just add all my 'purchased' apps to zune desktop. And, I guess, should I ever actually pay for an app, do that via Zune Desktop too...
Hi,
So I recently traveled out of the US to China for vacation, and when I was there I decided to check/download some updates for my Downloaded apps in the Android Market. Notably I could not see the Android Market Front Page when connected in China (must be Google block?), however I could see which of my apps had updates.
However, I'm back in the US now and when I go into the Market to update my apps, none of the downloaded apps are showing. I tried using Appbrain to update them, but that failed as well, and now the only apps that show up in my Market are the ones Appbrain listed as having updates. I tried using an app like Market History Delete but that didn't work either.
I figure it must be some Market sync issue or something, but is there anything that can be done short of doing a complete factory wipe? Thanks.
My wife and I came back from a 6 month stay in China last year. I had a similar issue. I think I has to go under manage applications, filer for "All", and force stop the app then uninstall updates. I then rebooted the phone and it worked for me. My wifes phone had the same problem but my solution did not work for hers. So I dont want to say it will work for you, but its did for me. I'm afraid I dont know what else to tell you. Let me know if it works for you.
I have an unusual issue with my HD7, i live in a country that doesn't support marketplace but my hotmail account is based in america. I usually can download apps normally but for the past week it tells me "attention required. Tap here." when i do tap i get "Can't get this info right now. Check back in a little while." this is after the app goes into downloads and it also happens when i want to update an app. although i can add apps through zune software, so far i only added the 7dialer app and it worked. If anybody has any idea what this is please help, thanks.
Known issue. I believe the work around is to uninstall the app. When you reinstall it, it'll be the latest version. The only bummer is you lose your settings, saves, etc.
Hey everyone,
I tried to buy World Of Goo on the market today, but have been struggling with it! I manage to successfully buy it, but when downloading I get told that I have "insufficient space". The way I understand it, this is likely due to the 30mb limit imposed by the Galaxy S? This may be completely wrong, but after a brief search that appears to be my problem. I've tried the following:
1) Wiping cache (no change)
2) Wiping Dalvik-cache (no change)
3) Rolling back to Market 2.3.6 (didn't even give me an error, just didn't download)
4) A script which created a larger virtual cache (script ran into an error and didn't run)
5) Any combination of the above you can think of
Does anyone have any ideas on what I could try next? The demo installed and ran beautifully, I was really excited to play the full version!
World of Goo and 30MB limit on Market
Hi,
Same problem here... I do remember that AirAttack HD had the same problem - it was sold in two parts but afterwards Dev did something so that the package would be down-loadable on SGS via Android Market. At this point I have only found demo apk and it installs correctly (outside Market), but I would like to purchase full version and RUN IT.
Demo works fast and flawlessly.
I have a strange idea - buy a full version on web Andorid Market, find a full game apk and then connect it to Market via "Market Doctor" in Titanium Backup...
Just tried to buy it on the web-based market, but it says it's incompatible. Besides, that's a bit too close to piracy
Answer...
Well I did change my JVS to CyanogenMOD 7.1 and it works... I was able to buy World of Goo in the Market, it works...

Yes, CM7 doesn't have that issue. There are also successful ways of creating a temporary virtual cache big enough to handle the size. And like someone else said, if you buy the app, download a pirated older version, use Titanium Backup if you need to link it to the market, and then update it to the proper version in the market. It may seem like piracy, but if you're paying for the app this will work.
I had this problem but have now installed the game. I was already on Simplicity ROM and had the Semaphore kernel installed, this has an add on that allows virtual 50Mb cache. This didn't help in the Market though.
I had to go to their own website and buy it with Paypal, then getting emailed a link for download. Great game!
Same Here
I'm so pissed! I should have known better than to order a game this big off the Android Market. I ordered the game using my PC and I thought the game was going to be sent to my phone straight from 2D boys because that's what my order e-mail said.
But then I got an error message from the market telling me the "not enough space" crap. I bought the game! Then insult to injury, I discovered that I could have bought the game directly from 2d Boys off their web site. They are set up now for Android phone orders! I e-mailed them and hope to hear back soon. I told them that they are going to be flooded with complaints because the market is broken.
Same problem here, I have tried everything that is mentioned in the first post without success, however I was playing the demo past week in MIUI without a problem, now I'm on CM 7.1 final. I sent an email to the support address but there is no answer yet. Any other idea?
2DBoys did get back to me and they are aware of the problem with the Android market. I e-mailed the guy my order # and he refunded my money. I asked him how downloading straight from 2Dboys web site worked, but I haven't heard back yet. I'm not going to try until I know it's going to work. Must say they were fast with getting back to me.

Same here - they were really quick in recognizing the issue and even sent me a dl-link as if I had bought it straight from them. Really great support.
Like you I really can't wrap my head around why this only happens with Market downloads the install from 2DBoys was no problem.
I've seen 100 explanations for this issue, and I'm still not sure what is causing it.
Ps. Now the World-of-Goo wants to update in Android Market (even thou I ended up dl-ing it straight from 2DBoys), but if I try it just says I haven't purchased it... Ds.
NEW ? Spam/Malware com.dti.blu aka Mobile Services
although... while MalwareBytes doesn't considered unwanted notifications malware...
they call them PUPs Potential Unwanted Programs..
But I call them Malware.
It looks like.. on Nov 8th app-blu-release.apk was downloaded and installed
Not sure what it is/was.
Today.. I got a notification for something like this "Blu wants you to come enjoy games..."
long press the notification.
"Mobile Services" com.dti.blu Updated October 27th.
searching the internet.... I didn't find anything of importance..
I don't want to delete it immediately at this time.. not exactly knowing what it is or does..
other than the Spam/Malware intrusion.
I did force stop it.
So.. if anybody has any info on the apk.. please chime in.
It might be very similar to the situation in the thread below which can be resolved once I know what the APK is...
The thread below.. titled "Android Tools" stock app ? I keep getting push notifications..."
https://forum.xda-developers.com/vivo-xl/help/android-tools-stock-app-getting-push-t3752075
thanks group..
Got an unauthorized download of Gamehub or similar last week and deleted it. Got the same notification about being invited to play games today. Uninstalled Mobile Services updates and then disabled it. No problems so far. This appears to be more crap from Blu masquerading as Google mobile services. It's not a Google app.
I finally fought off the auto downloads and constant notifications resulting from last November's Marshmallow upgrade around March or so. Now it's starting up again. Is November Blu's f with our customers month?
This " com.dti.blu " is definitely a malware it keep installing random games such as Candy Crush Saga, FarmVille 2: Country Escape , Move the Block : Slide Puzzle ... etc
i try uninstalling it with
Code:
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.dti.blu
everything works well but upon looking on apps list it is just disable but it's file size keep getting bigger in real time like it downloading itself again
This is the last time im buying BLU phone
I have a BLU V5 (box says V5, reports G5 in the phone). I'm not getting any unwanted ads or downloads, but It has been slow since the day I got it, and lots of RAM used up even when I'm not doing anything and Android doesn't report what's using it.
Last night, I decided to adb it and found com.bluproducts.activationapp and com.digitalturbine.blubar. I couldn't find anything online on com.bluproducts.activation app, but com.digitalturbine.blubar was definitely an ad service, so I uninstalled from adb. Instant speed improvement.
This morning, I noticed it was slow again, when I used adb, I found a new package that wasn't there before, com.dti.blu. So I uninstalled that, and as soon as I did, com.digitalturbine.blubar re-appeared. I uninstalled that and now I decided to also uninstall com.bluproducts.activationapp. I don't know what's causing these to reinstall. I'll see if it's back tomorrow. Anyone know for sure how to keep these packages from re-installing?
