Android Market not showing all downloaded apps in "my apps" section??

I've had this issue with the Android Market 3.1.5 (and lower) - stock 2.3.4, no root.
Usually if I get a notification that I have an app update and click on it, it takes me to the my apps section however there are only the paid apps i've bought sitting there. Not the other 90 apps that I've downloaded free.
I go and clear data and that works sometimes. And other times it doesn't. I've submitted the problem to Google but I was wondering if others see this behavior and if there are any work arounds???? It's real frustrating.
I have also uninstalled and reinstalled the Market. Rebooted phone, pulled battery. Even done a factory reset. This happens on my E4GT and my Evo4G.

If you restored a backup chances are market links were restored and you will have to wait for an update or unstall and reinstall the app

It is selected and even if I toggle them, nothing improves.

I have the same issue, I prefer the older market version (wich does show all my apps, and shows the updates better also), but it wont allow me to keep it from updating for some reason, even if I freeze market updater.
it always upgrades to 3.15 after a few times going into market

this has been happening to me since I got the phone. I rooted and then went back to stock kernel, which kept me rooted. I restored my titanium backup apps with data and I believe that may have something to do with it.
as soon as I see that I have updates I know I will have to go to applications and clear data and reopen and it will then show me all of my apps again.

I talked with Google's Market help today. They know about this and are trying to figure it out.

Kill the bird

Streight to bussiness.
I went to My Apps in the market so i can update them. At the bottom I noticed I have one not installed app which is twitter. When i rooted my phone i deleted twitter and facebook. I searched my phone to see if maybe i missed an apk or file of twitter and thats why it is shown as not installed. But my phone is clean. What can i do to get rid of the blue devil bird?

I think you have two options:
Embrace it for what it is =p
or
do a reboot and see if it's still there
(with the second one probably the option you're best going to want)

Or delete market data, reboot, and check if its still there

I tried rebooting. I even deleted my sd card, super wiped my phone and reinstalled the rom. Then i deleted any trace of the app from my phone again. And yet it is still there. Damn you hipster bastards

Same problem here man, maybe frying the god damn bird will help. It is annoying to get notifications for the Twitter application and especially when you don't even have the app installed.

A dev should make an app the will Terminate apps like that and call it Mongoose.
Also, an app that blocks ads in apps for rooted phones. You are welcome for the idea

T-Mobile contacts backup

I live in Europe, so not using T-mobile, however, my phone is rooted and debloated but I still have this annoying service from t-mobile that tries to backup my contacts. Is there any way to disable this. I have tried removing this from my Accounts and sync, however could not even following data wipe. Is there a workaround this?

You should be able to go to Settings -> Accounts and Sync to disable the automatic backup.

Sync is disabled, still I have the process running form time to time

Or just remove it. Useless service. Google backs up our contacts.

I had the same problem. I moved to the Cayman Islands and brought my SGSII with me (unlocked it with the code from tmo customer service).
Even though I was on a different carrier with a different sim card and turned off the sync for that it would still pop up frequently in my notifications bar.
I decided to root my phone and install a custom rom ( went with Juggernaut V4.1 which is awesome). I also used the bloater to remove all tmobile apps. This did the trick.
Not sure if there is a different way but this worked for me, hope it helps.

.gapps constantly crashing

So when I am just doing whatever, my phone locks up and a message saying (somgthing).gapps has either stopped working or has crashed. It happens typically once a day. I can be on Facebook, or the Google play store and when I tap a button, that happens. Any idea? I am stock ROM, but rooted. I'm assuming you guys will need more info, I'm just not sure what to say that could help.

More info is definitely needed.
1.) What ROM and Kernel are you using?
2.) Have you done any modifications to the said ROM or kernel?
3.) What gapps package are you using?

Try clearing data for Google framework

If you have CWM installed try fixing permissions.

Go into settings
Accounts and sync
Find your Google account
Turn off Internet sync
Give it a try it worked for me!

This. Try Google first, there are many threads on this already. Internet sync worked for me so try that before you start clearing all sorts of data like me lol

I'll give that a shot and see if it crashes anymore. What does that disable? Chrome syncing I'm assuming? I guess just the tabs?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium

Thank you! Any idea what that even does? Since I disabled Internet sync I haven't had the .gapps crash once!

[Q] SOLVED-Apps not gone after flash?!

Ever since I've started flashing ROMs, I've become accustomed to jumping on the market and re-installing all the apps that were deleted during the wipe process. No problem really, I like the idea of a fresh install. However, oddly enough, since flashing Ev1lArt's Wicked v7 and now his JB v3 Roms, the apps from the store persist. Third party apks are still in my downloads and I can re-install them, but the ones from the market instantly start downloading and updating once the phone is done booting up.
On one hand, I think it's fantastic! No more searching the store for all the apps I want.
On the other hand I'm concerned this is an indication of something gone wrong.
If anybody has any insight, I'd be very grateful. Thanks!
Edit: Another question/afterthought. When I went from Wicked v7 (ICS) to v3 (JB) I used Odin and the root66 tar for a clean JB install. I was under the impression partitions would be re-allocated during this process, but there was no PIT file and the instructions are very clear about which boxes to check (ie, don't check re-partition). Am I missing something? Are PIT files not necessary going from ICS to JB? Also interesting to note, when I booted up after ODIN, my apps, wallpapers, Nova Launcher setup etc were all still there. I thought the point of doing a fresh ODIN install was to get the phone to an "out of the box" condition.
Am I just a worry wort? Should I just be happy that some Android magic has saved me some hassle? Thanks again.

Google is supposed to back up what was on your phone and then red download it (restore) from the play store. Downloads always stay, unless you wipe it.

When you say "wipe it", do you mean wipe data/factory reset in recovery? Cuz I always do that.

That doesn't wipe storage/sdcard. The folders you see when you plug into a computer. Uninstalling apps also doesn't delete those folders

On some roms when you flash on the locations setup screen it will ask if you want to restore your apps from google play...if you leave it checked it well immediately start downloading your apps based off your google account...

Googles backs your data up always when flashing a new rom fireup the play store and go throught the log in thingy there will be an option that you can tick it says "keep my phone backed up whit google" simply untick and voila... its no issue at all trust me

It's funny cuz I always check that box during setup and I've flashed at least 10 ROMs and it's never reinstalled my apps.

If you are a little paranoid and want a true clean install, wipe system in recovery before you install your preferred rom. The Google restore had been hit and miss for me over the years so I stopped checking the box and relied on titanium backup. Sounds like it is working better now.
