No, it's not all caused by that.

I don't have and have never had anything called "Blackmarket" on my device and I have the market problem. I can't uninstall it because it's not there.
[Motorola Photon 4G] rbeavers:
Installed and it removed XDA app? ??

Still blank my apps.
[Motorola Photon 4G] IP IHI II IL:
Hmmm, that wasn't my experience at all. The only other thing I've seen as being the problem is multiple Google accts, and the market sporadically changing which the market is working off of. Outside of that, I have no clue... Sorry.

Pew! Pew! Pew! From my Mo-Pho!

Message on Google website:

We're aware of reports from some users that several applications are missing under "My Apps" on their devices, and we're currently looking into the issue.

Source: https://www.google.com/support/androidmarket/bin/static.py?hl=en&page=known_issues.cs

They know there is a problem, but they seem not to know how to fix it.

Tried in my wifes device to set up my googleaccount to verify if it is the device or the acocunt. She still runs 2.x Market version. I was not able to set up my googleaccount on her device.

I even downgraded to version 2.x on my device and received server error message. So problem is not the device, but @ Google's end.

They already send a Feedback Email for my problem reported. Guess what feedback they received?

Problem still persists!

They seems to still invesitgate

Anyone who is having issues, please submit a report. The more we report it, the higher it will move up the priority queue.
[Motorola Photon 4G] spg900ny:
Reported. This has gone on long enough. Google needs to fix this (and NO, I don't have BlackMarket or whatever it is installed), and they ALSO need to allow us to REMOVE apps that we used for five minutes back in 2009 and never want to effing see again!!!

But FIX the BLANK PAGES first!!!! ARGH!!!
[Motorola Photon 4G] spleef:
arm having this problem also... am rooted & stock weird thing is if I try to connect with 3g I get the blank my apps if I use wifi it works most of the time (1/3) no 4g in my area I've tried deleting data cache restoring from titanium in several ways nothing fixes it. so I've done like everyone else and slammed them with reports hopefully they will fix it. tempted to unroot and see if problem still remains. about to try the updated market. well just tried updated version its still happening except now doesn't work on any connection reverted with titanium and now able to see my apps using wifi again
[Motorola Photon 4G] DocMAX:
any news about the problem?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Teddybear2:
I asked them now a couple of times and always get the response that a techi is looking into the problem, however, no solution found yet.

I tried to set up my account on my wife's device....no success. Server error. So it looks as if something is wrong on their servers syncing accounts.

I also saw in My Google account that they tried something as the set up for the device changed. No service supplier shown. I will send emails to them every two weeks and ask for an update.
[Motorola Photon 4G] affliction:
I talked to Google about this problem because it was doing it to me on my 3dvo they said it is a glitch and they will have a update soon to fix it

[Motorola Photon 4G] denklau:
So this seemed to make sense to me. I first noticed the "My Apps" page going blank after I used Titanium Back's Market doctor on my system apps. I have the issue fixed for now, but who knows how long it will last (since other methods of fixing it have not lasted).

1) I used ROM Toolbox Pro to delete all of my market links (I'm not sure why Titanium doesn't have this option)

2) Rebooted phone

3) Restored market links for my user/system apps that were from the Android Market (specifically avoided my Amazon App Store APK's and non-market system apps)

4) Cleared Android Market cache, force stopped market, then removed market_assets.db (/data/data/com.android.vending/databases/market_assets.db)

5) Rebooted phone

6) Installed Free app from market and then uninstalled it

7) Went to "My Apps" and the list was restored...for now

I'm not sure if all of these steps are necessary, but this is what I did exactly. I'll run with this for a day or so and report back if sticks or goes blank again.
[Motorola Photon 4G] y0himba:
I purchased Rom Toolbox Pro and am following this guide now.

Droid X2 running 2.3.4 GB Stock, rooted.

How did you determine which system apps were tied to the market originally?

I could not find market_assets.db anywhere on the system, I did a search using Root Explorer.

this did not fix my issue, I still have no apps at all listed under "my apps". Thanks for the guide though, I am will to try almost anything to fix the Market since Google cannot (or will not) seem to do it

Oh, and thanks for ROM Toolbox Pro, Seriously sweet app and helped me get rid of 3 other apps since its all included.
[Motorola Photon 4G] agentscuba314:
So I got my hands on tool box pro then removed the link to all the apps. Cleared the cache and then rebooted the phone. Installed uno for free and it showed. Then I restored all the apps and everything worked fine since then
[Motorola Photon 4G] denklau:
I basically restored market links for things like Gmail, Voice Search, etc that were part of my stock rom. I can see when there are updates now that they are linked to the market.

Yea, I stumbled upon this app the other day. Its like ROM Manager, Titanium Backup, Root Explorer, Terminal Emulator, and AdAway had a very sweet love child... :D

As for my status, I've been running for about 20 hours now without any problems. Installed and uninstalled numerous apps from the market and My Apps has been keeping up without any problems.
[Motorola Photon 4G] y0himba:
I wish this had worked for me. I followed the steps exactly, yet there are still no apps listed under "My Apps". I also tried Agent Scuba's way, same thing. I cannot find a market_assets.db anywhere. This has been going on for 3 months now.
[Motorola Photon 4G] denklau:
Interesting, I believe that is the default location for the file to exist and even if you delete it and reboot, the market will create a new one. Does the /data/data/com.android.vending directory exist?
[Motorola Photon 4G] y0himba:
You want to know what just fixed it for me? I installed Eclipse ROM. I finally got pissed and did it.

Best thing to ever happen to my phone.

Weird bug though, my external SD card is mounted as my internal(/sdcard) and my internal SD is mounted as the external card(/sdcard-ext)
[Motorola Photon 4G] duncanbyy:
Called google up, told me this is a known issue for several weeks now. They are working on it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ekrainey:
Ok i think i got mine fixed finally

For those of you with titanium backup. It seems that restoring these links from TB Borks the market but only when these links are being created from a backed up app.

How i fixed my market using TB

1. Open TB press Backup/Restore

2. The Long part, long press each individual app and click Detach from market. Now some will not give this option as they are not linked but u better check everyone because some you would think aren't linked are. We have no way of knowing which link is actually borking the market. So detach them all

3. I rebooted on this step(might be able to skip)

4. open TB press menu/batch/delete all backups. (market doctor needs to install new links in next step, not from backups)

5. no open TB again press Meny/Market tools/Market Doctor, Select "User apps" only

6. make sure only apps installed by android market are checked. For example i left amazom market and all apps i install with that unchecked. Now press the Link button up top.

7. Open market check "my apps" you should have your apps back. may take a bit to repopulate all of them. i had to renter my market and my apps a few times to see everything.

8. open tb and backup your user apps again

hope this helps

i am also using the tbpro version

update

Had a few rom installed apps that where showing uninstalled in my apps. to fix these i went back into TB and longpressed each app individually selecting attach to market(forced). everything still works perfect
[Motorola Photon 4G] Junior Passos:
Thanks ekrainey

Works perfectly for me.

Finally. =)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Supergoodsmitto:
Ive had this same issue when i had my HD2, it could possible a number of things.. I would always be switching between roms but never found a solution. you could probably try backing up your files to your comp and doing a reset.
[Motorola Photon 4G] spleef:
tried it word for word didn't work I've even tried this method on the updated market still no go
[Motorola Photon 4G] ekrainey:
Make sure you are checking every single entry after step 1. Beyond that i guess some of is are just getting lucky
[Motorola Photon 4G] iruiz2:
uninstalling Blackmart solved the problem for me. I diddn't think it would work because the problem was triggered by Market Doctor from Titanium Backup, but it did.

Thanks guys!!
[Motorola Photon 4G] uticant:
ekrainey's soln worked for me... YAY!

Thank you, ekrainey (and all the other posters looking for a solution) -- your TB Pro method FINALLY restored my apps! Since my support requests to google have been roundly ignored, it's nice to know that people with far more technical savvy then me have also been looking for a solution.

Just a quick note to any other posters for whom the problem derived from jacked-up links in TB Pro... After my applications were restored, I saw that there was an update available to TB Pro which, lo and behold, now adds the option to break all market links in one fell swoop. So, after installing that update, there should be no need to manually detach individual apps from market. Hopefully, others with a similar issue to should be able to resolve the problem far more quickly now.

Thanks again!
[Motorola Photon 4G] spleef:
flashed cm7 with the newest gasps with latest market and my problem is gone don't know why but glad it is
[Motorola Photon 4G] y0himba:
I flashed Eclipse 2.0.2 on my Droid X2 and it fixed the Market issue for me. Seems there are multiple issues as the TB Pro solution (nor any others) did not work for me. Evidently our Devs can fix issues with Google and Android that Google cannot. Ironic right?

I am, however, loath to reinstall TB Pro, as a lot of folks are saying it breaks the market...
[Motorola Photon 4G] mrtoto4life:
Temp fix

Well I have done the steps listed and it works but only temporary. For some reason it reverts back to no apps showing. Wish they would fix this.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bassie112:
Had the same problem for a few weeks. I followed the following which worked for me (use at own risk):

1. Remove all external markets (Blackmart, Amazon, Mobilism, GetJar, Applanet etc.).

2. Stop Google Services -> remove cache -> remove data

3. Stop Market -> remove cache -> remove data

4. Rename data/data/com.android.vending/databases/market_assets.db to something else.

5. Using TitaniumBackup 4.6.6 or higher use the remove all market-links function.

6. Restart

7. Start the market and accept the market license. The apps should come back.

8. When apps are listed uninstalled you can fix that by using TitaniumBackup 4.6.6 or higher and the repair market links function (for user apps only). First remove all TitaniumBackup backups to be sure new links are created and not from backups.
[Motorola Photon 4G] y0himba:
This fixed my Market, but it reverted in 30 seconds. I have no idea what to do here and Google is NOT helping at all.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bassie112:
Today half of the apps disappeared again. At least the other half is there as before I had nothing in the list. Strange stuff.
[Motorola Photon 4G] flipper12:
Same thing happened to me initially. But now, ALL my apps are gone again, just like before.

Very frustrating indeed. Have no idea why the fix isn't permanent. That iPhone is looking better and better (yes, I know what I said is blasphemy here but after getting an iPad and using it for a while, I'm beginning to understand the rationale behind a "closed and locked" down OS and am beginning to appreciate it).
[Motorola Photon 4G] bassie112:
I just hope they can fix it with a Market update and not a fix on the firmware level. Most manufacturers are putting their effort into ICS which would mean we have to wait a long time for a fix on GB.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bassie112:
Btw, could it have something to do with Link2SD? Sometimes it my phone doesn't mount the ext4 partition right and I get (almost?) the same list of apps that don't get away.
[Motorola Photon 4G] piaa_nissan:

Fingerprint for mine is ok. Those things you say don't hold for a lock-free European Sony Ericsson Arc. I'm just on this forum as the problem is clearly google related and you guys are most active on this topic. I'm afraid we have to wait for google. The appbrain market works greag btw for updating all the apps. Strange they can get it right and google not. So maybe it can be fixed with a market update.
[Motorola Photon 4G] darrez:
Thanks so much...the steps above works for me also but i hv to do one more thing which is remove my previously install Bla**Ma** Al***...seems that illegal stuff dun work with the original market..so for now, better stick with original market:)
[Motorola Photon 4G] harmonyxda:
Had the same problem. Noticed it after testing those market functions in titanium backup (but not necessarily caused by it). Only stock market is used, plus a couple of pak files downloaded online such as from code.google.com. Tried a few online fixes but none could really fix it. Tired of figuring it out so now switched to a new google account. Let's see what's going on.

Update: spent some time last week and fixed it! Yes it stays fixed. I think the key point missed in my previous work is to verify that old market links were indeed removed and did not come back from anywhere before adding new links for apps.
[Motorola Photon 4G] geoffro10:
How I fixed the missing apps issue

I noticed that someone a few pages back had asked about running an app to change the DNS on the phone. I remembered that I had done that a while back. Just for sh*ts and giggles I installed Set DNS, opened it up and saw that I was set to Google DNS. I changed it to DHCP/disable and voila!!! All of my apps came back!!

I hope this helps others.

---------- Post added at 04:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:03 PM ----------

Whelp.... that didn't last long. I had apps until I updated Videosurf and now they're all gone again. I went back and disabled Set DNS and allowed the phone to get it's own again figuring that'd work... nope. Back to square one. Sigh...
[Motorola Photon 4G] bassie112:
I noticed that after reformatting my links2sd partition to fat32 instead if ext4 the apps stay after using the "fix" I posted. I really think it has something to do with programs like links2sd.
[Motorola Photon 4G] harmonyxda:
OK post my case here hope it helps a little to those trying to have theirs fixed.

If you can truly remove/detach all market links from all apps on your phone under the google account which has the weird market apps problem, then from this point you should be able to get this account back to normal.

Basically the recovering is to:

1. Remove corrupted market links from apps

2. Add market links back to apps only installed from the android market.

A couple of tools such as Titanium backup (TB) or Rom toolbox (RT) can be used for this work.

It is critical to verify those old market links do not come back from anywhere after deletion, before linking any apps back to market.

In my trails, it was noticed the system (android v.234 with market v.344, TB v.466, RT v.441) often has corrupted market links back thus made the recovering work frustrating.

To verify the old market links are successfully deleted:

Reboot after deleting them, turn on data (3G/4G or WiFi) and wait for a while,

then check if the apps remains detached from market:

In TB's backup/restore list, long press one app, in popup menu "detach market link" should be replaced to "reattach to market";

In RT, app manager -> menu -> batch -> remove market links, there shouldn't be any apps showing up again for removing links.

The following steps of detaching installed apps from android market can be found in some online threads including this one.

You can certainly skip some of them as long as you get market links truly removed.

Clean up backup and cache:

Delete anything inside current TB directory where it stores backups, either from TB menu or using a file browser.

Delete any other backups or caches that possibly contains corrupted market links on your phone.

Repeat the following steps until it's true that old market links are not coming back:

Turn off data connection (3G, 4G, WiFi)

Settings -> manage apps -> all -> Google service framework -> force stop -> remove cache -> remove data

Settings -> manage apps -> all -> Market -> force stop -> remove cache -> remove data

From root folder go to /data/data/com.android.vending/databases - delete any files in this folder

Use TB or RT to remove/detach apps' market links

Reboot, turn on data, and verify old market links are indeed deleted from your phone.

With all apps' market links removed, open Market ->My Apps you'll still see an empty list there. Attach apps back to market by using TB or RT attach market links function or reinstall apps from market. Only do this for apps downloaded from the android market. Sometimes you need to download and install an app from the market at this point to get the recovered app list updated in My Apps list, and it might take a few minutes or longer for the market to sync the list on you phone to the latest.

If you have several google accounts, make sure the right one is selected in Market account settings throughout the treatment.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Teddybear2:
I was in contact with Google again...still no solution from their side...weird!:mad:
[Motorola Photon 4G] y0himba:
They are probably reading XDA right now (as well as those *other* forums) waiting for us to figure out what the issue is, or even a fix. :D

The ONLY thing that has fixed the market permanently for me is flashing the Eclipse ROM. 1.31 or 2.0.3 doesn't matter. If I SBF back to stock 2.3.4 (Droid X2), all apps are missing again, root or no root.
[Motorola Photon 4G] zemj:
I think it is Google problem.

I have about 150 purchased apps in AndroidMarket.

When I go to https: // market.android.com /, login with my username and go to "My Library", I see alphabeticaly sorted apps, but when I want to see my apps more than 11th site of them (using down "squares - scroll") I see only blank page:eek:.

So I can´t see apps alphabeticaly more than "H".

Please try it, if You have same problem.
[Motorola Photon 4G] y0himba:
I have the same issue at the web Market, however my apps show up on my phone since flashing Eclipse ROM. I know the issue is on their end, a file that is transferred or something gets corrupted.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Critical Jeff:
I'm having issues with my market also. For my current rom it will just give me a link to apps and game. I just tried wiping and reflashing the same rom, and it gives me a blank my apps page, :-(

This is happening to owners of other Android phones too and there have been temporary solutions but none seems to be working permanently for everyone. Here is another thread with one of the solutions:

[Motorola Photon 4G] eibbojtir:
FWIW, I did a complete data wipe and SBF to 198_7 last week. As soon as I installed the first app from the Market my "My Apps" went blank again.

Balls. :mad:
[Motorola Photon 4G] Vrayhem:
It appears to be a Google issue after all. This problem is one of the ongoing issues they mention concerning Android Apps. You can find it in the Help section of the online Android Market from your browser. They are working on it apparently.
[Motorola Photon 4G] brainwash1:
I used setdns to switch away from Google, and got my apps back, at least for now.

And now they're gone again :-(

Noticed that the market listed Google Earth as not compatible with my device. Removed the market link for Google Earth and now my apps are back. Not funny, Google.
[Motorola Photon 4G] brainwash1:
After a few hours and a reboot, My Apps was empty again. I looked through Titanium Backup again and saw that Earth and a few sideloaded apps had been relinked to the market. I removed these links, then did a forced redo of all backups. After deleting both db's in /data/data/com.android.vending/databases and rebooting, My Apps showed my purchased appease not installed. I installed a free and a paid app from the market and everything is back to how it should be.

I think the key is to have no sideloaded or Amazon apps linked to the market, redoing any backups so these apps don't relink, and starting with clean market databases.

It would be swell if Google could just list for users which apps that didn't come from the market have links that don't belong.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ken218:
I put together a small app aiming to solve this problem. It works on my Atrix and I think same fix *should* work for Photon. Can anyone who has this problrm try the app for me and see if it fixes the problem?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1480159
[Motorola Photon 4G] Vrayhem:
This should detect which apps are linked to the market when they should not have been, which seems to be the root of the problem (after excluding other possibilities and fixes that worked temporarily).

I cleared up a lot of the backups in TB Pro and linked some apps that I remember having bought them straight from the Android Market on the phone and the "My Apps" section has been working great.

Also installed and run your app and it hasn't detected any problematic market apps/links which is good.

Thanks
