There is already a thread for this. What donut build were you using?

can you point me please
i searched but i cant find any information about this...
i was using your:
system-htc-donut.sqsh

and then your:
system-donut-102509.sqsh

strange thing... i tryed market enabler to fake a new provider but with no sucess.. weird.. some new google protection ?
:(

maybe when you log with donut the make a reg with your mail that you have a 1.6 version... and you can only acess 1.6 market with that mail...
and the lack of apps is because the most of them arent 1.6 ready ?

maybe that.. but.. for example handcent sms are already 1.6 ready.. but doenst show ..
hum weeeeiirrrdd :s

i'll take a look at it. i thought craig0rs market fix resolved that issue. maybe it's something with the system-donut-102509.sqsh if the system-htc-donut.sqsh works. i don't know what google is doing maybe they make checks against build types or log different things in the build.prop and keep a black list. i haven't used the market recently but i test each one that i put out with a new account and didn't notice a difference in the amount of apps when i put the newest build up four days ago. i have a build i've been testing that's using cyanogens build.prop and that seems to work so maybe i'll put that up.

anyway you can always start clean and open market and create a new account let everything sync then go home and clear your google apps cache in settings/applications/manage applications/google apps and open gmail and log in with your old account. the market setting should still be intact. other than that i don't know what to tell you as we're not even supposed to be using the market because we're not running genuine android phones.

well i pulled the latest 2 donut builds.

[ruizit0]

i tryed the craig0r http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=568580 solution but with no sucess.. ill try latter again maybe i missed something... and then ill post

well i have to use a new account for market and the older account for syncro :\
hope raises a solution for this
thanks zen.. if i can help with something with this just ask
damn google

I noticed this as well. I tried using a fresh account that I made on google.com and it still did not give me all the apps. However I cleared all of my cache from google apps (market, gmail, etc.) and then set up a new account using the new account creator when you click on market. WHEN I USED THE ACCOUNT CREATED WITH ANDROID then I had the full list of free apps, Facebook, chompSMS, all of it. Not sure why it is doing that but now I can do everything. I was using the newest donut build on the android google-code. not sure if that helps but if definitely worked for me :D

doenst help in the fact that if you need to use your older account...
it works with new accounts with no problem...
the problem here is to use your old account dude.,.

Hmm...logged in with another Gmail account, and now everything shows up...downloading what I want, and then I will see what happens when I log back into my main account. Interesting...

Wonder if/wish there was a way to clear Gmail account settings. veewwy swange...

when you log again with your old account apps doesnt there no more lol

but the most strange is that some apps are there and new apps shows every day...
i think they are migrating to this "new system" little by little .. day by day ?
because that screenshots thing and other new stufs
could be ?
dont know the problem is that your account gets flagged some way that you cant use old market no more :(

I don't know. My main account has been messed up for a while. I just use a totally different account for ion/cupcake builds now. But it's also been confirmed that things go back to normal when using a real non rooted android phone..

I had a Vogue that was running ION and loaded DONUT on it and experienced the Market Apps problem. Verizon warrantied my Vogue out because it had a dead pixel and was under manufacturer's warranty and I loaded ION onto the new one and the full market was back. Throughout the whole affair I used the same Gmail Account, so I'm convinced it's not our Gmail Accounts being tagged but the phone ESN's... this explains why when you move to a Genuine Android Phone the full market comes back as well.

Doesn't explain why market works with a new account on the same phone unless they are tagging your esn to that account.

hum .. if i create a new account in donut the market appears ok ? ..
never tested with a new account in donut...

so if is that.. probably you account get flagged with cupcake and when you log to donut with your account they probably now that you where on a cupcake before and make another flag to your account .. after that your account gets useless in both donut and cupcake..

so .. no way to fake your phone.. because the problem is in the account.. solutions ?
trying to fake our releases to google think that are a real android phone ...
is possiblem ?

I'm another victim of this bug.

What I noticed also is that the 1.6 Market seems to remember your installs and mine auto-installede apps right after a new data.img was created.

I've posted on Google's forum. Maybe they'll reset my accnt? :)

I tried doing step by step from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4913790

and had no success :(

This is really disappointing. Google needs to fix this.

Check out this thread... looks like vilord has a potential solution: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=568580

it was just an idea i had when i was reading about the tattoo today... i haven't even loaded donut on my phone yet so I don't have any idea if it will work or not...

The basic premise is that donut market sends the screen size, model, carrier, etc to google, which gets stored and used to generate the list of apps sent back.

cupcake market doesn't send screen size, so switching back to ion cupcake wouldn't help, but if you go high-res in donut and go to market it would change the screen-size on the market.

Another idea i had was to change the build.prop of the orig ion cupcake image to ident as a different phone (mytouch3g or something) and then retry in ion cupcake to see if fixed

hmm, thats a thought, but that wouldn't explain why switching to a different (android virgin) account usually fixes the issue.

[Macmee]

I have had this problem for ages, good to see I'm not alone. I use the market and the gmail app, so this poses a problem for me. If only I could tell the GMail app to use a different mail address than the market.

[myn]

WORKS!!!

Loaded Donut (Donut 1.6 DRC92) with 320x480 160. Went to Market. All apps show up. Didn't download anything. Put xRom back on 240x320 120. Went to market and all market apps still show!

Thanks so much

[ruizit0]

fixed here to! :D
thanks vilord

Hmm..it appears that the Market updates the resolution information eventually, apps have disappeared from my Market again...

[polyrhythmic]

Yes, Cyrket is down and Androlib just links to the Market, which of course can't find the apps even when searching by pname... wish there was a way to fix without rebooting my device twice... I've been reading that you can use the market from the emulator but no one knows how to pull downloaded apps out of it...

[ruizit0]

same here lol errr
we need something to emulate or spoof the resolution :s

[ruizit0]

the only way to fix this .. is to start again..
boot in windows change resolution to 320x480*160 delete data file and start a new fresh data :\

i tryed to change resolution to 320x480*16 and deleted all google apps cache in android and loged in again.. but with no sucess... the only way i foud is to start a new data :\

or maybe im missing something
