Help needed Goole play market vanished - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Please help suddenly my play market has vanished it is not on my home screen Not on my application page
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA

I've lost mine too. But i do it this way...
long press your home screen, till a pop up shown up. select applications>google play

I had this happen in different ways.
First on my Note, it was fine. Then it decided to update the app this morning. I dump my Market link into an 'ignore' folder and use the new 'Play' link.
Then, a bit later, the Play link disappears! I hunt down the market link, and it has morphed into a 'Play' link.
Similar things happened on my tablet, but I actually lost the icon completely for a while.
I think it was a poorly planned rollout of the new app / link.

1) You have posted in the wrong forum.
2) Market works fine in 2.2 unless you flashed one of the pre-release builds.
The sticky at the top of the N1 gen forum tells you in bold NOT TO ASK QUESTIONS.
Ask them in the Q/A section. Gen section is for news, tips only...

I'm having the same, or very similar problems. Basically, I'm seeing paid apps, and my purchases, but I'm not seeing the "Top Paid" tab, nor is the Market acting in any sane or rational way. For example, I install an app, and the notification bar will say downloading, then installing, then the notification that it installed. In the Market download window, though, I see it download, then switch to installing, but never get beyond that.
What started all this with me was this. Using Linda File Manager, I uninstalled a couple of apps (was trying out the feature since I was in there). In this case, it was Google Earth (don't really use it), and a Pirate game that I never grocked. Anyway, in the Market they wouldn't leave my list in the Downloads, so I wiped the cache and data in the Market app in Settings > Applications > Manage Applications.
After that, all my apps appeared as uninstalled in the downloads window, and the issue with installation started. First thing I did was try and reinstall all the apps, and ended up with a huge list of apps that were installed, but were marked as still installing by the market. Killing the market app cleared out the hung install progress bars. The other thing that started happening was that not all of my installed apps appeared in my download list. KO Boxing, for example was on the featured list as upgradable, but it wasn't in my download list to upgrade.
Ultimately, what I decided to do was wipe the phone and see what happened. After wipe, I logged in and FRF91 didn't restore my apps like it had in the past. In fact, the market was exactly the same as it was before the wipe, with all my apps showing as free or purchased. Installing issue was also the same. Now, I know that Google backs up the settings, so I thought maybe that had something to do with it. I wiped again, but in the configuration process post-wipe, I selected for Google to not restore from backup (hit menu in the setup when you are entering your username/password). This brought me through the process much quicker, but with no change in the market function.
So, I'm still without a "Top Paid" tab, nor with a all together sane Download window. It's frustrating the heck out of me, and I'm about to go back to whatever the 2.1-r1 release was (ERE27?) and see if that makes any different.
The ROM I'm running is the FRF91 full release from lox_dev:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715799
If T-Mobile is doing the OTA's to FroYo from 2.1-r1, then maybe I'll let it do it's own thing today and then see if that fixes it. Ugh.

The above snipped sections are my story too.
Updated last week manually from ERE27 to FRF85b to FRF91 using the official stock clients each time. Non rooted N1. I spent 6 hours on Friday night trying to sort this..
I've got posts up on the Google Nexus One forums also and am holding where I am for a definitive fix. It's very frustrating though..
Go to menu>applications> magage applications> all apps> market then force quit and clear data and whatever else is in there.

I tried that on Friday night. Once I'd done that, none of my installed apps showed in the Downloads section.
That's why I did a full wipe and set the phone back up. Luckily I was still able to find all my apps, including the purchased ones. However the missing 'Top Paid' button and slow market performance persisted.
So, for fun, I pushed back to ERE27 (2.1-r1) and same issue. No "Top Paid" in the Market, and issues with installation. This is complete wipe, nothing installed on the phone after imaging.
I let it upgrade to FRF91, which didn't change anything. I'm now pretty convinced that whatever this is is completely account related on the Google server side of things, and it needs to be sorted out by them
Guess I'll have to figure out who to contact for support from Google :/

I'm working the Google angle also plus have posts on several forums and watches on more.
Please can you keep this thread updated with your progress and I'll do the same.

I've made contact with Google via email and this is now being investigated.
I'm sending them a summary of the problems I've been having and pointing them at various threads both here and in the Market so that they can see how widespread this problem is.
I've also tried a full hard reset and cache wipe without luck. My belief is that this is something that Google need to sort server-side, so I'm done with my wiping and reinstalling for now...

Looks like this has now been fixed server-side.
I got my 'Top Paid' tab back this morning - Yay!

[Q] Market Place

I have a GT and 5 minutes ago i tried to launch Market Place to see if i have any updates, and then, when i reached the Applications Section which it show which applications i have on my Tablet it shows me only Youtube and Google Maps, i have a lot of games and applications installed but only Google Maps and Youtube application show me the Market! I'm using stock version of Froyo!
If I'm understanding right, it doesn't show all the apps you've downloaded and installed, just some? I have that issue sometimes too, and I just fix it by turning my tab off and on again, and the list rebuilds.. If this isn't what you meant, I'm sorry. I hope it is, and it helps.
Right, the market isnt always right, but a reboot helps many things.
You pull out the sd card lately? If yes, try download an aplication who is allready in your tab and the problem will gone.

I solved the problem by downloading a new application from market, and then the list of downloaded and installed apps came back! And something else, before I post here yesterday I did about 3 or 4 times restart and again I had the same problem, but when I downloaded the new application the list came back again! Thanks for yor answers people!

[Q] Google+ is in the market... but there is no download button???

I searched xda and the googleverse but can't seem to find this exact problem.
On my device, I have the new market running, and I can search, find, and pull up the Google+ app. Hooray! Except one thing: there is no option to download. The screenshots butt up to the top of the app's page, and there is no download, just screens and information...
Weird... so I tried the web-based marketplace... and it says my device is not compatible?
The nitty gritty:
Sprint Galaxy Tab
ROOTED Gingerbread, 2.3.4
And also, I am currently in Costa Rica, which I think may be the culprit (keep reading)
What I don't get is it seems that when an app is not available in your country, it should not appear in the Marketplace App on your device.
Secondly, what determines "my country"? Everything I have in that device points to Texas, everything except my current gps / internet wifi location.
What I don't understand too is why a week or two ago I downloaded it just fine (but I didnt have an invite yet so I uninstalled) and now, the download link is mysteriously gone...
SOLUTION? Yes, I simply found the latest apk and installed. What's interesting now is that in the marketplace I now have the option to open Google+, but not upgrade or uninstall...
I know I can simply keep finding and installing apk updates, but this is a pain in the butt... I want to update via the market!
So any thoughts as to why this app isn't playing nicely?!
Thanks for the input!

So it seems as long as I restart my phone and do not apply any lcd density settings+ I can update and download google.plus no problem, but if I boot into / change the density, it dissappears... weird. If anyone else has this problem, know you know!

[Q] Random "Free Music" app appeared on my touchpad in place of Google Play Store

[Q] Random "Free Music" app appeared on my touchpad in place of Google Play Store
My Touchpad was charging today and I just went to check on it. I unlocked the device and sitting right where the Google Play Store app shortcut used to be on my homescreen was an app called "Free Music" and it had the old itunes icon. I accidentally clicked on it as I was trying to long press it and remove it from my homescreen. It launched the Google play store as if the real app shortcut was there. After I removed it from my homescreen I checked the app drawer and did not see the app.
I am running CM 9 Alpha 2. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there malware on my TP, or a Virus? Any help is appreciated. Thanks
Me too
I havent checked my touchpad with CM9A2, but my Acer Iconia with CM9-ported had this appear too.
I did not have this 3/8 afternoon, and had my tablet off yesterday night 3/8, and turned it on today 3/9, and it appeared shortly after.
Very strange and suspicious to have an itunes logo-ed shortcut "self-install"
Hope some more people can shed some insight into this.
Are we android user's getting hacked/compromised? (beyond what Google is already sucking off our tablets)
Whew
Okay, at least someone else had this happen. Now we just need to figure out what it is. Did you notice anything else funky? I couldn't find anything else that was weird, however I noticed this weird chinese app all the way in the bottom of my "All" apps list and I have since disabled it out of caution. Let me know if you have this app.
Did you just remove the app from the homescreen or open it also like I did? I really can't think of any app I installed that could have done this except one. This "watch TV" app, that I also uninstalled since just in case. I hope someone can explain this to us.
I just removed it from the homescreen (luckily did not click it to open by accident)
I dont have any Chinese/Foreign language apps on my All Apps.
I also dont have that "Watch TV" app.

I got a response from the Iconia forum, and I found my Pin to Pintrest App that allowed push installs. Do you have the same app?
Interesting
I don't have that app, but it could have been a different app that had the same type of air install thing. I uninstalled a bunch of apps that I didn't use that much, one of them might have had this feature enabled. Ill download that detector and see if any app on my tablet has that.
Thanks

[APP] Google Play 3.10.10

For those who can't wait for Google to roll it out automatically, here's the new Play Store. The site where I got this says the changes are simply bug fixes but I did notice it looks a little different, like the font seems to match the new 4.2 roboto font. Try it out and correct me if I'm wrong.
How to install:
Using root explorer, copy the file to /system/app after deleting the original Play Store app. Fix permissions then reboot. After rebooting, you might also want to clear the Play Store app data before using it for the first time. Initial impression is that it seems to be faster and more buttery than the previous versions. Download link below:
Phonesky.apk
Thanks! This new version definitely seems faster.
i get the update last night
Yeah me too.
Yep same here. Looks like they're rolling it out anyway.
Posted using xda mobile app
Thanks for sharing it here. It has now rolled out worldwide so everyone can update easily.
Apart from this, here is what comes new in Play Store 3.10.9.

What I tried :
Reboot.

Google writes something about reconnecting gtalk in some "pb resolution", I tried that.
I even uninstall the updates down to thé market v2.x.x
Nothing good there neither.
The last version is back by itself with no amelioration
Every time I try to DL something, I get thé "New page" informing about starting DL, t'en in the notification bar appears "/!\ connection error"
I did had à Error code thé first few time, not any more.
I'm connected to m'y google account, I've no pb to send something to m'y phone from my desktop via thé Play Website.
I'm kind of lost here
Help ?
My phone:
HTC Desire HD
AndroidVersion=2.2

Thank you for any suggestions.
Greg
OP updated. < via xda app>
i have installed it, but it just won't launch.
Any help for my weird Problem ?
The new fact is that i CAN download some app with the good old market, when I uninstall all the updates.
But now, I've lost the list of my apps..., well, at least until I update them or something...
Ho.. And I sent a message to google, their solution was "RESET your phone".. not a such engineering .

@gregaste : Any update on your problem?
Been having the same issue. Jumped through all the hoops but to no avail. The guys at Google are not being helpful at all.
Weird bit is, apps do update over the carrier network if I trigger the update from the web instead of the Play store app.
