Hi.
I just bought my aunt the new moto g. Her first smart phone. I activated the phone through her gmail account which was rather not used too much. I notice that the preinstalled apps like google maps, youtube , keep, play games, movies etc were not showing up on the my apps section within the play store. I wanted to update them. So i had to search for each app and update them manually. Then I decided to add my account and I could see all the apps in my apps and update them accordingly. Now i want to know whats wrong with my aunt's account.
Nothing wrong with your aunt account some time system app didn't showed in my app list happen to me also some time a simple reboot fix this but sometime I need to manually update each app.

A reboot didnt help. So everytime i need to update an app, i should do it manually? it would be painful

Every time I flash a new ROM after wiping, the Market application tries to download tons of apps that I've had in the past (some were uninstalled long ago).
I dont want ANY download to be done automatically, since I'm using Titanium Backup to restore the apps that I need, and the huge amount of downloads from the market just messes up my phone, and forces me to cancel every download manually, and uninstall those that I couldnt cancel on time...
I understand that some people need this feature, for me its the exact opposite...
Is there a way to manage/clear these apps from my google account?
Is there a way to force google not to save these apps for me?
Many thanks in advance!

Under settings -> Privacy you have the option to back up your data and do automatic restore when apps are reinstalled. Disable those and it should remove the settings.
skip the initial configuration. this will essentially stop google from downloading ur previous apps.
after that, setup ur google acct via gmail or the market app.
hope this helps.
thanks! will give it a shot right now

By the way, you can skip the entire initial setup menu by tapping in the top-left, top-right, bottom-right, and bottom-left corners on the screen that says to touch the Android to begin.

+1. If you skip the config and log in later, it won't try to restore apps.
Every now and then I'll get a notification that I have an update ready. I click the notification to open My Apps and...nothing needs an update.
I have noticed that my phone will randomly delete a paid game of mine, Totemo Full, and I've given up on reinstalling that. Would that be causing the issue? Did Totemo get a recent (like < 1 week ago) update?
What exactly, quoted, does the notification say? A lot of apps are set to update automatically, these apps might be telling you they were updated, not that an update was just available.
Quick tip: you can always go the market page for each app to see when it was last updated. Totemo is here, and it appears it hasn't updated since July 29.
Mine will sometimes say that there are more updates than there really are, but I've never had it tell me there's an update when there isn't yet. Have you used Titanium to freeze any apps, by chance?

Your apps disappear cause some of the by default get installed to your media. You can fix this by going to settings /applications /manage apps/media area and the O. Es that have a check mark by them, click on it and select move to phone and they won't disappear anymore. As far as the updates go, and as the other post says apps are set to update automatically and thats why you can't see them. It's just letting you know an update has been done. Hope this helps
I had a customer with this problem yesterday. Try going to market>menu>my apps> then look at each non installed app and look for ones that say "update" (for him it was myverizon and vz tones)

There are a few different threads on this......what is happening is your default account is switching over to a secondary account. If you go into accounts under the market menu and switch your account, you will see there is in fact an update for an app purchased on the other account. I am desperately searching for a fix to this. I now have apps split between the two accounts and if it weren't for my company using G-apps for e-mail now, I would delete second account.

This is not happening for me. I have only one google account on the phone. I have turned off automatic update for each app where it was turned on. I get a notification every day that there is an app with an update; open the notification and find that there are no apps available to update.
This version of the market has issues, for sure.
Just go to settings/apps & clear market data. You might also have to do that if you have updated an app outside the market.

I've tried that; it doesn't fix the problem (and I have no non-market apps installed.) It's more of an annoyance than anything, but I just wanted to point out that this is not always explained by an app with automatic updates enabled (which should give a notification of their own, by the way), or having a second Google account on the phone. The market app is problematic, period.

I get this too sometimes and find it to be Verizon apps like "Verizon Video". When you go to "My Apps" in the market scroll to the very bottom of the list and you might see it there. That's where I found my missing updates.
Yep most often Verizon apps. Annoying

i have some free purchases in my google market account that i want to remove so my account looks "TIDY".
i downloaded them i tried them and now i dont use them so i want to be removed
can i do that? how?
I think so, your purchased apps will be saved to your Google account so you can always install them again whenever you get a new android phone. However I'm not really sure...

yes they are saved to my google account and they are too many because i have been playing too much lately testing the apps.
but now i want to remove some i dont use from my google account
i don't think there is a way to remove them from your google account.
i have a further problem with my google market account.. i'm unable to browse my apps after the 10th page.. it's a known problem and hasn't been fixed for a while =\
I think its ridiculous not to be able to remove them just like itunes.
I want just to keep the apps i only work.

also very keen to see if this can be done...
Hello!
I never tried it, but Titanium Backup Pro offers a feature called "destroy market link" - maybe that is what you’re looking for !?!

nah doesn't clear it from market.
sometimes i dont get it. the android programmers how they are thinking!!!
is it so difficult to put an "X" button to delete an app.
my market account is full of bull**** apps i dont use and i have to see them every time i go to my account!
YES itunes is a ****ty application when i first used it. but now after 2.5 years of use is far away from the competitors!
inside itunes is my music,apps,videos. i dont have to look around to find them. all of them is inside this app!

Hi,
It only removes the link app <> market. He's asking to have it removed from his account.

indeed so....
It doesn't seem to be possible, on Google Wallet there is no option to delete an app without refund.
paid apps can only be deleted by the developer or google after the 15 minute refund window.
to get rid of those, best you can do is ask the dev directly for a refund.
free apps you only have to uninstall.
once they are uninstalled they should be gone after you re-open the market app once or twice.
if this doesn't happen you're out of luck, the market account is bugged on your phone and you probably have to do a factory restore to fix it(and you can't restore a titanium backup for market/account related apps/settings!)
sorry i didnt mean for paid apps.
i mean for free apps that i tried them and i delete them in my phone.
i dont want to appear in my account library when i login from my computer browser (not in phone).
So, recently I rooted my phone following this page

but then I rooted my phone from this thread

so, I noticed my gmail disappeared. So, I went ahead and tried to install it from the Play Store. But, it's not installing or not installed properly.
The GMail app does show up on the Menu. And I would have to go through the play store to open the app. Even after opening the app, the loading bar in the gmail app would keep going and going and nothing would show up.
Note: My default email works though.
1) Please help me fix my gmail problem.

Ok... it works now. I just had to restart my phone.... =.="
Woke up yesterday morning and I was unable to use any app google or gmail related. Every time I try to open the play store it instantly closes out. "Google" is no longer under the accounts tab in the settings. Can't log into any apps using google because they just crash when I try. Have tried EVERYTHING. Cleared cache and data and uninstalled updates for all google related apps hoping it would help. Nothing. ( yes I tried rebooting it). I have now factory restarted/wiped my phone 3 times and every time I get to the start up wizard I get "verizon location agent has failed" then I get "google play services has failed". Even without completing the startup wizard google and the play store still don't work. Called verizon. Then google. Then Motorola. They couldn't fix anything. Don't know what to do can't use a lot of my apps and I have no contacts just numbers.

Are you on a stock system? Or did you flash a system image with Mofo?

I'm on stock. Only thing I've done was remove some bloatware with rootjunky's program he put up. That was a while ago but I put it all unbloacked the bloatware and it worked for a couple minutes then stopped when I tried to update an app.

I would restore back to stock and see if the problem persists. If it is solved then at that point re-root with Mofo. If it does not fix itself bring the device to Verizon and they will factory reset it then realize thats not the problem. At which point they will replace the device for free.
