Hi guys I have two weird things happening on my device.
1. When I use the multitasker, it shows the maps apps with the icon but the actual screenshot is blank. Like it was accessed in the background.
2. I had downloaded the getjar app from the site, but found it a hassle and the apps that I wanted were not updated so I deleted it entirely from my device. But just a couple of minutes ago I received a download that said getjar.apk. When I checked on the downloads icon it showed the download but I DID NOT install I just deleted it. It was around 122kb download.
Any guesses at what it maybe? I'm running stock 4.0.2 but rooted GSM Nexus.

Normal. The Maps app regularly pops up in the background for a second, but incorrectly gets put in the multitasking menu. Wouldn't be worried about it.
Anyone know about the getjar.apk downloading issue? It just happened again.

For a week or so now, my GNex has been popping up "available app updates" notifications at least once a day. This wouldn't be too unusual, but when I click the notification to go to MyApps in the market, I never seem to see all the updates.
If the notification says there are 5 available updates, then I click through to MyApps and find 3 updates available.
If the notification says there are 3 available updates, then I find 1
And if the notification says there are 2, I don't see any at all.
Seems like there are two apps on my phone that are either causing update notifications to appear when there is no actual update to install, or they have updates available, but I can't see them in the market for some reason. In either case, I have no idea how to figure out which apps are causing the problem.
There can often be problems with having multiple Gmail accounts. You get a notification for the update from an account other than your primary Gmail (but then you click into the Market and its your main Gmail acct). Not sure how to fix it, but it is mildly annoying.
If not, you can try wiping data out of the Market and re-entering your credentials.
Well if it helps I was also noticing that as well but like you said I went to market and nothing was showing .so for some reason I scrolled through my aps and clicked on google + and when it pulled up it had the update option so I updated and don't remember seeing any after so if by chance you have google+ on your phone check it just a thought cause that is where mine was coming from so far
Usually, you just need to wait for some times
Usually it happens to google apps (maps, google+, etc) so check them and also check your "Not Installed" list cuz sometimes those installed apps that need to be updated show up in that list instead of "Updates" list.
Not sure if its fixable with clearing data for market.
I also had this problem recently with Google+ and had it previously on my Xperia X10 with the facebook app. Possibly a problem with pre-installed apps which are then updated in the market.
Just do a manual install/update of the suspect app and the notifications will go away.
For me it was easy to spot the rogue apps as there was only one at a time causing the problem, so the update notification specifically said there was an update to Google+.

I had the same problem last week.
Google + showed an update notification, which wasn't displayed in the Google Market. I noticed that Google + was in the "not installed" list, so I opened it there and manually updated it by clicking on the "update" button on the Google + market page.
Any chance you have auto updates on?
i get this same problem too. vvery often i get notifications saying "4 updates" and really there are only 2 updates. it just happens sometimes for no reason i can see. and no there aren't any manual updates during this time. it's truly some weird bug, or something is getting counted twice either my 2 gmail accounts etc.

Yep, this was the answer. Google Music and Google+ were the culprits, and since they were pre-installed, they weren't in my installed apps list. I had actually checked every single app in my installed list individually, trying to find which ones had the updates. I didn't think to go through the uninstalled list.
I've had this happen from time to time. I fixed it by clearing market data, and then the market showed me the app that needed updating.
I've been getting it too and I think it's been caused by me having apps installed from a different market than what I am usually authorized to install from. ie I'm overseas and I have Google Music etc.
Hy guys. I have a strange WLAN Issue on my One X.
Problem: I have activated WLAN and I can browse without any problem with any browser I want. But when i fire up an app like Play store or GMAIL, my connection times out or something similar.
Play Store example: I want to download an app, click on Accept and Download, the status bar pops up, but there is no progress. it just do nothing for 1 or 2 minutes... then the download starts (if i´m lucky).
Sometimes when i disable WLAN and fire it up again, i can download in Market with no problem.
GMAIL example: I want to see my mails, scroll down until i reach the last one (on my phone. Then it says "Loading Conversations" (to download more mails) and now the circle keeps spinning and spinning and I also get a timeout or sometimes (if i´m lucky again) it starts to dowload the next 5 mails.
Browser example: No timeouts, everything work like a charm.
So its only on apps it seems. And not only in GMAIL or Play Store... no... the issue is on all apps.
I attach a logcat where i highlighted what i´ve done (with explenation).
Additional Info: It´s not ROM depended, it happens on nearly all ROM´s Ive tried. Tried also many different Kernels and none of them solved the Problem
Might be an issue with your router. Do you have a firewall running on your router?
Sorry i forgot to mention that the problem occours on every WLAN im logged into. Tested 5 different and always the same.. I guess the answer is in logacat... but i might be wrong... maybe some pro can get a look into it...

Try clearing the data and cache out of Play Store and Gmail and see if this fixes it. The download hanging problem has been an issue for a lot of people since the day Android was released.
ok, give it a try...thank you
Has anyone else noticed their phone missing from their market account after the update? My phone is no longer listed and if I choose an app to download my phone is not one of my options. I can reach the market fine from the phone but cannot see the phone fwhen on the site with my PC.

I haven't had mine missing after the JB update, but it might be considered a new phone under google (for whatever reason, even though that doesn't make sense)? I know when I got a new phone, it took about 2 days to show up under the market.
Have you used the google framework trick for a while? this issue appear after clean the data of this app. you just need to delete your account from the play store and add it again, then wait a moment, and it should be appear again.

Yes, I cleared the data. It is now in the store. I didn't delete the account but I did delete an old device I no longer have and that seemed to fix it.
Thanks!
How you deleted on old device? I can only dont list it at the store, but its still there.
Hello everyone!
I'm running Hyperdrive on my S3, and I'm struggling with Google Search and getting it to work properly. I haven't had this issue before on the S3 or my Note, so I'm a little lost. It came pre-installed with this app. It would open, run through the Google Now setup, and then when it went to the part where it listens to what you're saying, the screen would freeze and it would force close (eventually). I removed it and reinstalled it from the market.. Same thing. I have tried different APK files I found and nothing is working.
I have also noticed that when the app is installed, I have two different search applications, so I think it's running a duplicate app somewhere, but I can't find it.. I have "Google" which takes me to the search thing, and then I have "Voice Search" which takes me there as well, both force close if I open them.
Any ideas? Where are all the files for these located? I thought I completely removed it, but maybe I missed something and it's causing issues.
Thanks for the help!

Sounds like your google voice is messed up somehow, If you manually type something into google now, does it work? I would say to try and clear cache and data for google search and framework in settings>apps>under all tab. Reboot phone, if this doesn't work, try a full wipe-ROM reflash. For future reference this should have been posted in Q&A.
Today, I plugged in my 20X to my monitor and noticed that my Chrome is no longer appearing in the Desktop apps.
All other Google apps are still appeating:Google, Photo, Maps, Drive. Only Chrome is missing.
Anyone encountered the same problem and any fix to this?

I have the same issue. I just tried Desktop Mode for the first time a few days ago and noticed it was missing. Were you able to use Chrome in the past? You mean it just disappeared after a recent update? In that case we could roll back to a previous Chrome version...
Anyone know how to add apps to the desktop mode start menu?
All G apps except Chrome are missing.
