Hi everyone,
Got a bit confused now. I've installed some apps from the market and when I go to "My apps" I see a list of installed apps.
The problem is, their status is set as their price tag, like 'free', but not as 'installed' as it should be.
Those apps are still on my phone and they do run, but in this case I don't know if there's an update are not.
Is there a way to fix this, please?
I hope someone has a clue.

Have you tried to restart your phone?

Not sure how much if a problem this is but sometimes when I go into the market on my desire and go to the my apps section it only shows me about half the apps I've installed.
Is there a way to get it to show them all again?
Worried that I might miss updates to some apps if they are not in the list.
I've had a look but unless I'm really blind I can't see anyone else reporting the same problem.
Thanks,
Sam

Have you installed any apps outside the market (apk files)?
They won't show up.
I've only installed market apps,
Just checked again and now they are back! Strange

this is a common problem and i found the best solution is to uninstall and reinstall a few apps that are not listed and some that are. . . solves it for me anywways
What always helps for me if this happens is going to applications in the device settings and clear the data and cache for Market.
Something weird happened to me, i was going through the home screens and notices that there was a missing shortcut for videos.apk
i go through the launcher looking for it and it wasn't there !! i was pretty sure i had it and i even used it. it was a red icon with 2 tabs when you start it, for movies rented from the market and the local ones on the phone
It might have failed updating for some reason and uninstalled. Try finding it in the market.
One weird thing I see is that Google+ shows up as one of my not installed apps in the "my apps" list. It comes pre-installed and seems to work, so I'm not sure what that other one is and how it differs.

quite a few apps do. it's because those apps you see "not installed" are the older versions of the ones that are installed that were updated on the phone to work with ICS.
when i go to my google app store APP-----> my apps----> all :
there is this app named TestMash , and it say "installed" ... !!!
never heard of it never installed this app before !!? but when i go to apps in my phone menue it s not in there, same with titanium backup there is nothing in there !!! i m confused ...is it a virus or what is it ?
This is what testmash is. It's not in my list at the playstore. Uninstall it. You must have picked it up somewhere. Maybe it came with your ROM

Have it in my list as well, also showing as installed. No option to uninstall and says incompatible with my device. Very odd.
I have it on my One X as well. Can't uninstall, even with a third-party uninstaller ("Easy Uninstall"). IF anyone knows how to force uninstall I'd love to know (not rooted currently).
I did have the same app on my One X as well,did a reset reinstalled apps one at a time and it was back after I updated Google Maps(second app updated). As far as uninstalling app without reset it can be achieved with a rooted device. Not sure the ins and outs but know it can be done. Hope this helps some of you.
Me too
New HTC One X - got it this afternoon from AT&T store
OTA update installed.
I'm seeing TestMashed also.
So this is something apparently installed with Google Maps?
Is it possible many people have this as well?
But because it is listed in such an obscure location most users are not noticing...

I do have some details but not much

Apple Patents dispute, Caller ID tie in, now here I read it has to do with Google Maps? (confused)
testmashed again
Thought I was done with TestMashed until I took a look in Play Store. This time I did nothing and it was back going to try to uninstall or delete now that I rooted One X,will repost with results after I'm done. Also did not update Google Maps like in previous post so completely confused now.
[Q] Something is installing " the hobbit" & "kingdom of camelot" apps?
I'm seeing two apps that have been installed THE HOBBIT and KINGDOM of CAMELOT. I did not install them. Any idea what's installing them without my permission? And I'm not saying these are REAL apps. that's just what they are titled. Once I clicked on one and it tried to open a browser window.
Also, I noticed an app called COOL APPS that goes to a browser window: www.iconadverse.com/redirect
I'd like to find what is installing this ****.
Thanks

Have you downloaded a free app from the Play Store lately?
A lot of apps do this to make money. Usually it installs some kind of search app.
Uninstall some recently installed apps and see if they go away.
Are you rooted? If not, its not possible for an app to install other apps in the background without user confirmation, or so I've picked up on from my reading.

Sort your apps by installation date, and post the last dozen here.
I don't know if it's worth installing an anti-malware app at this point, but you can try Addons Detector. That might be able to find the offending app.
And odds are that what you see as apps for the Hobbit and whatever are only shortcuts placed on your homescreen by a bad developer. Either way, I'd be concerned and upset. I hope you will find the cause of this and go back to the Play Store to comment/rate as needed (unless you sideloaded it..)
Both are being advertised on Facebook this week sounds like you clicked on it from there.

My guess is that you've been clicking on things that you should be.

I cant get some amazon apps to work in the background lol - Clock is a great example. Unless i keep it running in the background my alarm will not go off in the morning!!
Perhaps this is related to minfree settings? Does the fire kill empty apps off too eagerly? A bit like the original moto g did? Edit: OK I checked. The fire has pretty standard minfree values for a 2gb device. Must be something else going on. You could try an xposed mod called app settings or app called memory locker on play store. Both require a rooted device.

Tried using those 2 apps nothing changes
I was hoping that with drastic price drop, some of Android gurus will buy this phone and that we will have some AOSP roms and hacks, but nothing happened? IDK, this situation with services look like intentional block. Its ridiculous that apps from their store can't have 100%functionality. I can understand if they block sodeloaded apps, but this current situation is ridiculous.
