Bought apps missing after Froyo-OTA

Hi all,
I am missing several apps I bought from app market after the HTC Froyo update. As a example I am able to find free versions of NoteEverything, Tapatalk and Documents To Go, but my paid versions seem to be gone...
Anyone having the same issue???

Reboot your phone.
I fixed that way. Simple

No, not really.
The apps are gone from the android market! I can see and download the free versions. But I cannot see and download the paid versions from android market.
Did not have them installed when I was updating....

Can you give some examples?
I can see some paid apps in the Market ... Probably not all, but ...

Oh yeah, that's true!
I found some of mine are not listed:
- Devilry Huntress
- CaligoChaser
- Raging Thunder
Well, it looks we need to play a waiting game again I happened before :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=665742
And before that (Legend) ... and before that (Hero) ... ... ...
This is "normal" for new update ...
So, be patient ... probably another 2 weeks

I did name some in the first post. At least I am missing paid versions of
- NoteEverything
- Tapatalk Pro
- Documents To Go
while I can find the free versions of all three apps.

National Rail is still installed on my phone but doesn't show in the market whatsoever, even if I search for it.

exactly the same problem here, I think we just need to wait

Market fix is out for Froyo Official rooted update. Oh wait you did the OTA instead of waiting 3 hours and getting the rooted version.
You'll have to wait for google .........

Yeps same here:
- no more raging thunder 2
- magic gem
- Caligo chaser

Have any one try browsing the your download apps? from the market you should have a tab for your downloads. If the tab is not there then from the market click on menu then select downloads. This should have all the downloads on your account.. good look

Some paid apps missing for me as well on my rooted version of the OTA ROM. The hack doesn't work either.
Slingbox is the most obvious omission
Tried a phone reset and still not there.

My app isn't even listed in the market but is still on my phone. I know its not removed as I did an update on it the other day. I just hope I never have to reset my phone as I'd lose my app for good.

radio time missing for a few people.
I have it on the phone, but its not listed anymore as a paid app or available to download.

Reflashed back to a pre-OTA Froyo ROM and my apps are back.
HTC, thats a bit of a cockup isn't it?

It's not HTC it's google they have to update the market to recognise Froyo 2.2 for your location and device. Complain to them.

[Q] Task Manager Tool

I have recently bought the sim free Motorola Defy in the UK as my first ever smartphone. I did spend a great deal of time researching and concluded Motorola Defy was the best price/performance for me. I'm very pleased with my decision now.
During my research I understood the handset has a Task Manager tool pre-installed. I can also see references about it in the user manual and on Motorola's web site as well but I cannot see it listed under the Application menu list or any where else.
I'm wondering now if all UK version of Motorola Defy missing the Task Manager or not.
Can you confirm your UK Motorola Defy was shipped with the pre-installed Task Manager on either T-Mobile or the unlocked version please?

Have tmo version and i have it pre-installed

Thank you for your reply. Would you say the Task Manager is Motorola's or developed by another vendor that I can download from Market app for free?
I'm really puzzled why my handset's ROM is different. My handset's build number is jRDNEM_U3_2.21.0 and kernel version 2.6.29.

There are dozens of apps called Task Manager on Android Market. My main concern is to find out if my ROM is different or not.

I have tried to install it without a success. It did appear it was packaged by Motorola. Don't understand the reason behind this by Motorola.

Same here - AUS DEFY, fails to install - no error code.

A Motorola rep on one of their forums recommended it be used sparingly as many programs will just try to restart again as soon as they are killed. I had a bunch of apps in the kill area and it really slogged my phone down. I only have two now and phone responds as new again.

I'm not an expert by any means but I was under the same impression about task managers being useless as Android is more efficient when left to manage it's own processes. That's why I'm surprised motorola included this app on the defy. I had it on my Cliq running 2.1 as well. Can any devs actually weigh in a tell us if task managers help with performance and/or battery life?

If that's the case, why has a Task Manager been added to Gingerbread?
Google themselves have added a task manager to the OS, surely that's conclusive evidence that they are at the very least not unnecessary and arguably are needed.

There are a couple of apps that I downloaded from the market that do consume battery if left running: co-pilot appears to be one. So I have that on my list to kill when the screen times out. And it apparently does not reload unless I load it. So, perhaps in certain cases. Try it, I found using it slowed my phone down a lot.

Can you please reupload the file? I cannot download it from dropbox.
Task manager should not be missing form any phone, too bad they did not include it in the European Rom.

When i bought my motorola (central europe) european rom , out of the box it was 1. deblured , 2. without task mangager
version 2.34.1
firmware 2.1-update 1
it really sucked...
now i am with 2.2 froyo

What guide did you use to update your phone? It`s my second day with my Moto, so I kinda have to learn everything about Android.
PS: just upgraded from windows mobile 6.5. Different story with roms, etc.

Alas, still cannot buy paid apps. It checks your carrier and if your country doesn't support paid apps, you don't get to do so online.

Is it correct that I cannot take a "backup" of my apps and reinstall from web after a flashing??? Too bad

I just tried to log on, but I get a certification failure, and if I comtinue the address is on a red background.

Works great. Click on it on your computer and it downloads and installs on your phone. My old eyes love this.

When i flash my phone, so all installed apps are deleted.. but this website shows me that the apps which i have installed before the flash are currently installed, too?
How can it be reactualized so that the online market shows me the apps correct..

Although you wiped your phone, you probably had your settings set up to back up your application information and to restore after an install. You can check that by going into Settings, and then Privacy. My ROM (aosp-CMod-20110201) has this feature, so whenever I wipe, format and flash a new update, all my apps are restored.

Very nice, this is how market should be.
Both free and paid apps work for me (Voda-NL) and get pushed straight to the phone, very convenient.

Hmm exciting?
as someone else already mentioned and shares my opinion:
appbrain rules. showing pay and free apps and relations.
So far I stick to appbrain.

[Q] sgs2 not compatible with Google Maps 5.7.0

Hi,
I try to update Google Maps to version 5.7.0, but Android Market claims that "This app is incompatible with your android."
regards

I got update notification from Market itself. I chose to update and it works well. Not sure why it is giving you this error.

I installed after using Market Enabler and changing the country to USA.

Thanks, problem solved.

Just had the same thing - strange.
Used market enabler to fake location but no joy.
found the apk here
Installed fine and seems to work perfectly

why is it not compatible in the first place??
the sgs2 has the fantastic hardware (dual core and ample ram) and the latest android version.
why slower phones able to support but not the s2?

There is no problem with the phone! It's perfectly compatible with the latest google maps version.
It's a problem of some locations, as not all locations have access to the latest google maps version. Android market will check your location first and if it is not entitled for an upgrade you will get this error message.
The workaround is to fake your location as mentioned in previous posts.

I'm on 5.9.0 which was pushed through the market. No probs! BTW, I'm in the Netherlands.

Here is the cause of my problem - running a DPI that differs from the norm

for me was the dpi. Change to stock (240dpi) and everything is fine

I doubt that's the issue. I run 210dpi and i can install it through the market. Even if the online (desktop) market says 'incompatible with your device' you can still search it and install.

New Android Market APK

Enjoy
http://www.mediafire.com/?72w5189rc2wpa0c
Here you will find .49 cent apps.

You don't actually have to download anything to update your market: Just go into settings/applications and find the market app. Simply delete the data (only), and the next time you open your Market, it'll upgrade itself. Hope this helps.

deleted data. got tha carter iv for $.25 to celebrate.

Not true for everyone. Many people, like myself, just got an updated TOS agreement. My market was 3.4.4 but the new one is 3.4.6.

youre right, mine is still 3.4.4. the deals are still there, so i dont care

Are you saying the "delete data trick" didn't work for you here? Cuz that's weird: it worked perfectly on my phone (always have used this to get the latest market), and I do have 3.4.6.... The only question I would ask is: Are you on a gbread Rom or an ICS Rom? (I'm running ICS....maybe 3.4.4 is the latest for Gingerbread, and 3.4.6 is only for those on ICS?) Just a guess.

I also got the updated TOS, the deals are there, and I'm still on 3.4.4. The icon and the app still say "Market".

Yes. It looks like 3.4.6 might be for ICS only but that doesn't make sense because the market is no longer. They would at least change the name and icon even on gingerbread.
I installed the Ops apk and it's definitely the new icon and branding, however, it FCs nonstop ever since tried buying an app.

When I did the 'delete data' thing, my Market app/icon completely disappeared and I got the new "Play Store" app/icon automatically...so that method DOES work for some,(just fyi)

So this market basically broke the $hit out of my market. I installed this version, it worked fine til I bought an app in the store. Ever since then it just FCs immediately. It never intsalled the app, apps installed from the web market do nto install. I uninstalled/deleted the 3.4.6 version and reinstalled the 3.4.4 version and it is still force closing as well. any ideas?
I'm not too worried, I have tomorrow off and this will give me motivation to try the ICS leaks, I'm still on caulkalins last GB rom.
