Apps Not Showing - Motorola Droid 4

I tried searching because I thought I'd seen the answer to my problem before but I came up empty so I apologize if this has been asked and I missed it.
I did a data wipe on my phone today to see if it'd clear up some issues I was having. After the wipe non of my apps from the play store are showing up, regardless of free or purchased, the only thing that comes up is the preloaded apps.
What's the trick to get the play store to refresh and load my apps?
I tried to restore the backup I made before the wipe but it fails to reload.

Wiping data will remove your downloaded apps. Open the Play Market, hit menu, "my apps" and you'll see a list of everything you currently have downloaded/installed. Swipe over and you'll find the list of everything you've purchased and downloaded recently (free or not).

Thanks, I didn't realize it did that.
I thought there was a way to get it to reload most of the apps automatically but this will have to do.
I appreciate the help.

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!

Random Titanium Backup Question

After searching the forum I cannot find the answer, so I am hoping someone has run into this issue as well.
Everytime I flash a ROM I restore my apps and app data from Titanium (no system data), which works fine every time. However, one of those times I decided to run the Market Doctor and "fix" the market links. What I forgot about before I did that is not all of my apps come from the Android market, some come from the Amazon market. So the apps from the Amazon market are now associated with the android market and show up as needing to be updated, which fails of course because some are paid apps on Android so the download/install is declined. I have tried uninstalling from Android and reinstalling from amazon, then restoring data only from Titanium, but the Android market still hangs on to them. Is there anyway to "unfix" what Titanium did via the Market Doctor? This also applies even after wiping and installing a new ROM because it is now associated with the Android market on their end, not only on my device of course. A wipe data of the android market doesn't work either.
Any thoughts? Thanks everyone!

Had the same problem but i use app manager now and it gives me the option to unlink the app from amazon but the funny thing is it still shows up randomly. So i gave up on it.

1) Open Titanium Backup
2) Go to the "Backup/Restore" tab
3) Find the App which is now wrongly associated with the Android Market
4) Long press on that App in the App list
5) Click "Detach from Market"
I don't know of any way to do this in bulk, but this is what's worked for me

Market doesn't show "My Apps"

So today the Android Market stop showing the My Apps page for me. Just a grey screen. I have tried everything short of wiping the device. Any ideas?

So I finally tried wiping the device twice and the My Apps page will show until the latest version of Market automatically installs and then grey screen again...
i have the same issue. D2G
Which ROM do you have?

btw, why doesn't our market have "update all" like on HTC phones?
Same annoying bug. Tried EVERYTHING (including a wipe, clearing market data, force stopping, uninstalling updates, clear data on google framework. Sent a support ticket in to google, no news yet... Looks like it isn't authenticating me.

Mine does if I have more than one update - as the market always has had since Froyo. (Unless one of the updates has changed permissions - those you must approve one by one.)
Stock rom, still nothing from google. Seems like the server flakes out when trying to verify my device. No fancy hacks really. Wish I knew why. Tried everything I can think of so far. Even did a wipe and no go. Irritating to say the least.

Same boat here. Stock rooted, all bloat installed. Only mods are the atrix camera and modified local hosts file. I even reverted the local hosts file but got nowhere. The only other market I have is amazon and it does not matter if it is installed or not. It also does not matter which version of the market I have installed.

Just noticed the same problem here
I tried installing the camera app from the leaked version but it didn't go through, so when I renamed the original stock camera app back I noticed it stopped working.
Currently I have the my apps screen spinning.
I've got an XT860.
Same problem here
Same problem here. Stock, rooted. My Apps has had a blank screen for days. Cleared Market data and cache. No help.
I don't know who to even contact for support. Any thoughts?
Have any of you tried this:
settings->applications->manage applications
Find "Market" and tap it
If there is one, tap the button at the top "Uninstall updates"
Does that fix this problem?

Safebloat the culprit??
Same issue here! Just started today, the same day i installed safebloat!
Are any of you guys running safebloat? Did this bug appear right after switching from the bootstrap to the safebloat?
Not running safebloat. Currently nothing frozen or removed.

I found that if you take out your SD and clean market/storage service fixes. Bad news is when you put back SD, it breaks again.
I just checked mine, all's good. There's got to be a common factor here... just needs to be found
Just a thought.
Make sure everything in your google account page is set to sync.
Settings->accounts-> you gmail account.
Try the online market. Sign in and see if your apps show up there. If it does, would say it something on phone, if not something with the account.
Hope it helps

[Q] How to delete downloads in Samsung apps

My Samsung Apps icon shows a "1" on the top right corner, which means that one of the apps has an update. It turns out to be the eBook app which I never could successfully install, and it turns out that I can't update it either!
Is there anyway I can remove the notification or delete that app from the list of downloads (in the Samsung app, click on the left menu button > my page > downloads). It has a history of all the Samsung apps that I'd previously downloaded, even the ones I've deleted. I tried clearing the cache of the app and force stopping but it didn't help. Even turning off New application notification doesn't help, neither does wiping my cache and dalvik.
I'm pretty sure there must be a folder somewhere where I can tinker with all these information. Does anyone know?
I am using Titanium Backup to freeze and delete all kind of apps.
The ebooks app doesn't even show up in Titanium, so I can't freeze it.

I do have the same "1"!!
tried to solve it but no luck
I had the same issue as you, and updating to the latest firmware solved the problem. I'm now on DXLC2, and SamsungApps maintains a history of what I have downloaded before, and also shows the ones currently installed. It no longer thinks that I've installed the Ebook app (which hanged halfway) and tells me there's an update.
If you're not rooted, the Kies way *may* work, as another poster mentioned from another thread. I don't know as I'm rooted so I can't verify that. But after you've connected your phone in Kies, on the top right of the screen, you should sign in, then go to MyDownloads. Do let us know if this works, as I'm curious too.
I think Changing samsung account will be final option.

I tried that, but it didn't work. Annoying, I know. Someone mentioned wiping the SD card, which I haven't done yet, and no longer need to since upgrading of firmware helped.
BTW, I posted in the wrong thread (Which is why "I wrote I had the same issue as you"); there was someone else who started another thread about this issue after me, and I'd meant to reply to that one!

Thanks for the suggestion, but it doesn't work either. The issue here is a Samsung app that shows as having been downloaded, when it hasn't (e.g. stopping the installation before it finishes). So it doesn't even show in my app drawer. Anyway, I suppose the issue has been fixed, though I can only guess at how to clear the history of installed apps which still shows up.
I had same problem...change the samsung account helps me, hope it helps you to

[Q] TB recognizes 3 apps only!

Hello,
I've been using Titanium Backup pro for a while. Since I started using Kingdroid V2 rom, I noticed that TB recognize 3 apps only (Pocket, pocket casts and another app) where I have more than 50 apps installed.
When I do batch back up, TB will back up all the apps. However, TB backs up only 3 apps in the scheduled back up.
any help please?
Thanks,
Mo
I deleted the 3 apps, and now TB doesn't recognize any app.
I was wrong, in batch backup the phone used to back up only the 3 apps., and now nothing!

Go to settings > Apps, And clear cache and data for TB
Then reload TB and try again, Most probably you got a setting selected somewhere, With the latest update there is a lot more options so its easier to clear data and start again instead of trying to hunt it down
Thanks. I tried everything. I cleared cach, reinstalled app, flashed new kernel (speedmod), reinstalled the rom.. Still the same.. See attached pics

It's says "pocket" in all. Which looks like it's looking for apps with the word pocket.
If you click the edit filters button in the top right corner then click clear, what happens then ?
Swyped From My Galaxy Note
you are absolutely right.. "Thanks"
I always wondered why on earth it says "Pocket".. then thought maybe it has always been there but I wasn't paying attention
