[Q] Cannot See Free apps in Market!!

Good sirs,
Recently, like since last week, I cannot see any of my installed apps in the Android Market, under "My apps". Consequently i also cannot see any updates to those apps.
The ONLY thing, I see there are the apps I have purchased, and any apps I newly install...
I have a captivate running cognition 2.1.6.
anyone else having this issue?
HELP!!!

Have you tried clearing the data?
Menu button->Settings->Applications->Manage Applications->Third Party Tab then scroll down and choose Market then click Clear Data.

Try the above first, if that doesnt work, go to the market and download Eris Market Fix. This app worked for me on my captivate before.

im running 2.1. dont see a third party tab.
but i did clear the cache. did not help.
then tried uninstalling the updates to market. it said uninstall failed.
Now my market is completley gone!!

I'd suggest three other things then...
First would be to restore from a backup... you did backup your apps when you flashed right?
Second would be to use or get SGS Tools and try the Market Fix option there. Find it here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=936727
Third would be to search vending.apk That's the market apk, then download it and sideload it.

I reinstalled a whole new ROM...
BTW, I heard that using the new market web interface will break the market on devices with custom ROMs. is this true??!

I haven't heard of anything lime that. When I was on 2.1, I had a blackmarket app that allowed.me to upgrade my market interface. I have never had a problem with not being able to see free appear tho. I suggest backing up anything you have that's important and after attempting any fixes that others will and have spelled out, try a ODIN3 restore. I don't have any links but it will fully restore your phone to stock. Some of your data should still be there but it will do a full wipe and restore. Other than that, don't listen to me. I only have 3 posts.......

Market issue with aospCM7

first off, I've seen fixes for this (I think) but I don't understand what they are saying to do...and whether or not it is a fix for my problem. Been working on this for a couple of hours now and no mas.
So, I have the latest versions of aospCM7, gapps, and clockwork. ( at least I think I do, I dled them all tonight.)
I followed the instructions at the aospcm7 wiki from stock.
The rom runs seemingly fine until I go into the market and try to dl an app (specifically either titanium back up pro or rom manager). Then it will dl and say it has successfully installed then app and immediately force closes. The app does not show up in the drawer, and the force close message pops up randomly afterwards. I have tried a simple reboot, alltheway down to reflashing the rom w/ gapps twice now and trying to reflash gapps alone. As well as re dling the file and replacing the gapps file and reflashing it.
If anyone knows of a solution to this and can explain to me how to execute said solution it would be very appreciated. Btw, this is my first root/ rom so I'm still a super noob Be gentle? lol
EDIT: And now that I tried reflashing them together one more time I'm stuck in a bootloop....
EDIT2: Am now restored back to stock thanks to nandroid back up. thank god. Anyways, I'd still like to figure ou the issue and give it another go ,so if anyone can shed some light, please do.

You using Firerat?

The fixes never worked for me. A few downloads then I had to apply the fixes again and reboot.

I feel ya. What I had to do was recovery, fr recovery, install ROM, fr boot, load the ROM, use the terminal fix, recovery, gapps, fr boot, boot the ROM and skip the automatic search that Google tries to do.

Then virtually the same mess of events to nand restore after a prl update for mms. Too much bs...

Try deleting the market updater apk.
Yea Its Me Again With the
Modified Hero

Thanks for all of the replies guys. I restored back to stock and reflashed the rom this morning and re downloaded and flashed gapps. Everything seems to be running just fine.
Now if I can just figure out how to use htc sync to get my contacts back it'd all be gravy lol.

Why not sync contacts to gmail? Much easier.

I suppose I could/ should have done that...How exactly would I go about doing that?
Edit: ok I did that, but I'm missing numbers for a vast majority of them...
Ninja edit, nvrmind. Thanks for the help!

When you have your contacts all setup and you're logged into your Google account, just go to Settings > Accounts & Sync > your Google Account > tap Contacts.

Thanks man, I've got it all sorted now.

help my phone cannot download apps from the market anymore

I am on continuum v6 rc1 now but this problem has been persistent on serendipity and apex 7.1. I am on wifi and whenever I download an app from the market, it stays on the downloading bar and never downloads. I know that the connection is not the issue as I have been using it for other internet related things on the phone. I have flashed back to stock jf6 and master cleared before applying the latest continuum and the problem remains. I have also tried removing the market update, clearing cache, and rebooting. Nothing has fixed the issue, and upon rebooting, the apps that are attempting to download still appear in the notification tray without any success.
Please help...

Will they download on jf6?

did you g to settings>applications>manage applications>all>market>clear data?
also sometimes the market is just stubborn try one at a time and when it stalls like that click on it and select to download again. sometimes takes 3 or 4 tries before it acually downloads

I was able to download apps from the market on stock jf6. But now I am on cyanogenmod7 nightly 40 and I am still unable to download apps. This is very frustrating because I do not want to stay on jf6 just so I can use the market. What else should I try?

Sorry I forgot to tell you I already tried that.

Does anyone else have any suggestions. I feel like I've tried everything and still no luck.

This happened to me, sorry to tell you but.. you have to do a factory reset. Get titanium backup and backup everything important to you.

If you find sgs tools its an app trying putting this app on your phone by downloading it on a computer as an apk and put it on your sd card and install it then there is a spot that says run script find the market this will unistall market and reinstall it this could work

I tried both of your suggestion and neither worked. For a factory reset, I retrurned to stock and master cleared. While on atock the market was working. But now that I have flashed a gingerbread rom it does not work. I tried going into settings and doing a factory reset from the privacy screen. This simply earased the data on my sd leavng the apps on my phone. And the issue remains. I also tried using sgs tools to uninstall and reinstall the market and again no luck.

[Q] Market stuck at "starting download"

Have this problem for 3 days already. Tried to flash to another ROM and it doesn't help. Googled this problem, looks like is a ton of complaints from people experiencing this problem but I can't find any actual solution. Can you help please? I'm tired of this already. Did a factory reset too and it didn't help.
Help please.

Yeah, had this issue some times with the new market.
Yesterday, when it happened again, I just cleared market app data and re-tried.
It worked.
Don't know if it'll last though..

Yeah mate, looks like it helps in some cases. But i tried it many times and it didn't help. I found a solution that deals something with "gmail" and "GoogleMail", but i don't know how to make a @googlemail e-mail.

So you've also tried deleting "Download manager" app data and "Google Services Framework" app data?
Are you using the new market too?
Hmm, [email protected] bugs

Maybe you should try this one too!

I have tried old and new markets, including latest 3.1.5. It doesn't help. Also i tried to clear Download manager app data. But I haven't tried deleting google services framework app data. I can't try it now because i don't have access to the wi-fi.
I think if your advice will not help i'll flash stock GB ROM.

Try wipe cache and fix permissions using CWM

SoulTrain, do you mean "wipe cache partition" or "wipe Dalvik cache"?

did anyone get this fixed?
I'm also having the same problem, I been searching forums for two days trying to sort this but to no avail. I've cleared caches, installed updates, used a diff version of market app but my apps still are stuck on the "starting download..." screen..
I'm on stock Rom on sgs2, Tesco mobile UK.
any help would be appreciated, thanks

Android Market needs the Google Talk service to download and update applications. Without Google Talk, more downloads from the market ... I think
try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=773272

do you use droidwall or something?

@ batahulu, don't think that's my problem, I don't think I've deleted any files by mistake and my Google talk workable fine. thanks tho.
@Dr.wtf., no not using it. I am using lookout and avg but I turned these off and tried too thinking it might be some firewall or sumat but still nothing... I don't know what more to try as I've done nearly everything I can find short of a factory reset. thanks mate

i had this problem long ago whaen i was in amertis ROM....... i tried many things like clearing cache, reinstalling the rom, clear data, even changing google account......but unfortunately it didnt helped..... then googled it and found that its a "CUSTOM ROM" problem.....
then after changing the rom it was fixed......
so my suggestion is that keep trying different ROM....
Goodluck

I've the market stuck on starting download only when I buy a paid app. Strange the free ones download just fine.
Samsung Galaxy s2 android 2.3.6

Yeah exactly the same here, two paid apps are stuck while at the same time I can download free ones.... I tried to download on pc but still not working
Taz..

I had the same problem,...
another rom was my only way to get it working...

I signed into Google wallet on the pc and put in my credit card details again, Google then sent me email asking me to confirm my date of birth and would you believe about 2 hrs later my market started working. Before this I only put my details in from my phone and think that may have been the problem, I think it may be worth a try...
Taz..

Push from Google Play
I've got a Motorola XT720 experiencing this problem as well, and I've tried all the wiping-related methods to no avail. However, I found another workaround that doesn't seem to have been discussed so far.
If I go to the Google Play Accounts web page (sorry, no link - new user), I can use the "Install" button to remotely command my phone to download the app.
It works for a couple tries, then I have to reboot, but at least it gets me somewhere. Hopefully this method can help others too.

[Q] "Unfortunately, app has stopped..."

Hi, i have a problem with many apps, and really i don't know what else to do, this start out of nowhere, a few days ago the message "unfortunately, (app) has stopped.." it's making me crazy.
i've try to flash another rom, kernel, restore backups, wipe cache, dalvik, data, and nothing.
i've try cyanogenmod 9, gummy, slimICS, dark night, and icy glitch kernel, devil kernel, and many other.
for example,the titanium backup, shows me the message every 30 minutes, the CK: zombies, doesn't start anymore, youtube too, minecraft pocket edition, play store, and many apps.
please i need some help, before i pull my captivate away
THANKS!

Try opening Terminal Emulator, and type "df". Next to /datadata, see how much free space there is. If it is less than 15-20MB, you're going to want to move some apps to the sd card, or apply a datafix script.

i did it and show me 40 mb free space, 131 used, 172 total, blksize 4096.

Hmm... that should be enough free space, but you could still try the datafix script: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1665742
Make sure to do a nandroid first (if you have anything worth saving at this point...)

I've had this happen to me with tibu try restoring all the apps without data and then see if they FC if they don't then you know what's causing them to FC. I'm afraid your going to have to set up all your apps again. That's what I had to do.

You didn't need to wipe your cards... Basically the problem is your Tibu backups were probably done with improper settings, and the data cannot be restored. Restoring just the app should still work though. You are going to have to start over again.
This is only correct if the apps won't even open

maybe i wasn't clear, i don't restore the titanium backups, i install apps one by one, clean installs from play store. and the message "system stop working" or something like that appear before i install the first app, when the first boot on setup wizzard, the setup wizzard stop and show me that message.

do you have the low data notification? If you do, keep moving apps to sd until it goes away; then, reboot. I've had this problem a few times when i first flashed to ICS.

i have same problem with google maps.
after a fresh installation. it s runnning but when i restart i have that message "unfortunatly.. app stoped"

Same issue, with Gallery/Camera
ok, so i'm on Tsunami 2.0 running devil kernel, this issue started while i was on AOCP, whenever i open the camera app, it immediatly says Unfortunately, Gallery Has Stopped. so i tried reflashing the gapps, same issue, tried flashing the 4.2 gapps, same issue, so i wiped everything and switched to the AOKP Tsunami ROM that im on now, (gapps built in) and SAME FREAKIN ISSUE....any ideas guys? (im pretty experienced with android and flashing roms, i've got a buddy who is rediculously experienced with it, and neither of us can figure this out)
EDIT : Just tried the picasa synk option in Tsunami OTA menu, same issue. i cant post this on the thread for my ROM, cuz i haven posted enough.....HELP

What about go to the Settings/ Applications/ All/ Gallery...select Clear cache and then Force stop. Then back out to home screen and open camera ?? See if that fixes the problem.

that was one of the first things i tried, and have done it several times since, still no luck....then i was gonna try and download a different camera app, and im getting server error on the play store....WTF. gonna try and reflash my gapps now, see if it improves anything.
EDIT: play store is working, downloaded Camera MX, it loads, but only shows black when trying to take a photo....i know that the camera physically works, i've been able to snap pictures and videos in the past.....

?? Idk what the deal is...but if all else fails, i suggest flashing back to Stock KK4 Full wipe ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18370912 ) then flashin KK4 Corn Kernel version 7.0A ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18233847 ), then flash ur Rom of choice.
