Hopefully Google will fix this soon. Or at least reply to one of us... maybe :confused:

If you contact the titanium developer he might be able to send you the old version of the pro key. It's just a file you put on your sdcard. He's always been really helpful when I had issues.

I have already installed Titanium Backup PRO key on my device.
The app is working fine, but not in installed apps list in google play market.

Have you guys tried to access into your gmail account using the pc browser, and check on your "My Apps" in the Google Play on the web ? (you can see the "new" Google Play, next to the "Maps" on the gmail header after you login to gmail on the pc browser )

As long as your purchased/previously downloaded apps is listed there, I am sure it is pretty safe for us.

Most probably the issue is falls on our phone local data, not the google's server side data.:D:D:D

I haven't even gotten a single response short of the initial auto reply, and its nearly 72 hours. Pathetic really. If I was an apple customer and lost all my itunes purchases.......... GAH google get it sorted

Apple won't give you songs back, can only download each once, same as films

Sorry if we're a little short tempered, it's just really frustrating! The issue is not on our side. Devices and the online site both show no apps have been purchased. We've tried every fix, but since Google's side is broken nothing we can do client side will help.

BTW, not an Apple fan at all, but yes purchased apps there are also stored in the cloud. Whether that is reliable, I don't know.

I was about to buy a new phone, but seems kinda pointless right now. Even newly downloaded apps disappear from "my apps".

I just got my first reply from google. Precanned response from trevor saying their ability to help is limited if I'm using custom ROM lol. Not a single troubleshooting step or helpful info, and I've already told them a thousand times ITS HAPPENING EVEN ON THE WEB STORE

Interestingly, on the web store instead of my apps being blank, it now gives me an error page. "We're sorry, there was an error. Please try again later." helpful eh

I get that or the blank page intermittently lol.

I can't believe that's all they said. Seriously. I don't even know what I would respond to that.

Yeah, I'm now getting the same error. In a strange way, that strikes me as a good sign. At least something is changing - maybe that means that someone at Google is in the process of trying to fix things.

I can't believe that's all they said. Seriously. I don't even know what I would respond to that.

If Google keeps up their radio silence, maybe at some point someone should try getting one of the better-read Android blogs to cover the story? Perhaps that would get someone's attention?

Can confirm being ****ed by Play Store currently.

Only place my apps show up is in Google Wallet purchase history. I get blank on Play Store Web and app. Still stock unrooted on this current phone.

Here is a link where google say they have reports of the issue and you can click to report the issue (its under "recently fixed"...): https://support.google.com/googlepl...y?hl=en&page=known_issues.cs&ki_topic=1319135

Excuse the phone screencaps/edits:

I've been hit with this too. My apps on the website are completely gone. The orders are still there, thank god. So if google ever actually try and help I can prove I bought them.

All I did was clear cache and data in the play store on ICS because I couldn't download updates. Did they change clear data so it wipes EVERYTHING server side? o_O

My playstore on my ICS xoom has a completely blank "my apps" page. If I try and update my apps it asks me to pay.

My nexus one on GB still uses a really old version of market (I froze the updater some time ago) and that's working fine at the moment. I can do updates ok too.

On my xoom I unistalled updates to pre "play store" re-brand (so plain old android market) and it shows all my apps and lets me update them without asking me to pay again. Next time I open it, I'm back on the play store with no apps listed in "my apps". So I uninstall updates again next time I need to use it. There doesn't seem to be an updater to freeze any more.

I daren't try buying any new apps in case that messes it up even more.

As a short term workaround try using an older version of the market. The one that works for me is 3.3.12.

I've tried going back to a nandroid from a couple of weeks ago, didn't work. I've wiped, flashed, market doctored, everything I could think of. No help. This is definitely server side.

I've sent emails to google but they haven't replied. I sent a few because there wasn't an option for "you deleted everything on my account for no reason."

Interesting, I thought the update to Play Store was involved. I am going to try to put the original "Old" market version in my ROM and see what happens...

Did your troubles arise when the app updated itself to Play Store? Thanks!

Had a response from Google: try a full wipe.

I hope they haven't sent this to people running full unrooted stock because they'll lose everything & still won't be able to use the store.

No, the update initially worked fine! I cleared data & cache on the store app because something wouldn't download, same way I've been doing for years, and this was the end result.

Hi,

I have a problem, that might be similar.
All the apps that need purchase, but that I have downloaded on a 3rd party market, like getjar, are marked as purchased in the play store, and it always ask for an update, like Beautiful Widgets. So, if I want to purchase it, I can't, because it is considered as purchased already.

Does anybody have the same issue ?
I hope my message is clear enough so you could understand ^^

lol wiping is how a lot of people ended up with the problem in the first place, that's why I don't want them to tell a bunch of regular consumers to wipe!

    Okay, i was having the same issue on my 2.3.3 phone after a factory reset. Samsung Galaxy S2 if thats relevant.

    Anyways, to fix it, i went to SETTINGS > APPLICATIONS > MANAGE APPS

    From there, hit the ALL tab, and scroll until you find GOOGLE PLAY STORE. Hit the CLEAR DATA.


    Go back to the Google Play Store, and it should ask you to agree to w/e it is it wants, then it should resync up the account. I was able to get my damned Tapatalk again.


    Hope this works for you guys too!

    Anyone tried to connect to a 3g/wifi and manually sync your gmail account ? So far I observed is whenever I just wiped my phone. It will take awhile to fully synced back my email, contact, calendar and the last one which should be google market place.

    Try don't take any attempts to make it work and let it be under internet connection and see if they will come back by their own. Just don't do any full wipe again, and performs a normal personal data restoration (like titanium backups). Let it be like 1 day normal usage with internet connectivity and see if those missing apps will appear back or not.

    My personally experience is that I didn't actually take any action when I see them blank after full wipe. I proceed and busy with my gmail account login, sync back my contact and calendar, then performs titanium restoration and sms restoration. Eventually they just appeared after couple of hours or maybe 1 day or I dunno, I didn't actually care about it as I just know that they will come back to me and so far the app did appear back by its own in "My Apps" section.

    Thanks, but we've tried that. A lot.

    Fixed here too. It seems like the nightmare is finally over, at least for me!

    FWIW, if anyone from Google is reading this thread: thanks for fixing this. I really do appreciate it. That said, next time something goes wrong with your services, some communication from your side would be nice too. I understand that systems break down sometimes, and I'm sympathetic. It's just that feeling of throwing emails into an abyss, with no hint as to whether anyone is even listening, that gets so frustrating.
