X8 wont update apps - XPERIA X8 General

My wifes X8 won't update or download any apps - including apps like the Met Office App.
Is this because the phones still on 1.6 or something elses?

Question about Android Market access, why are some Apps missing for me?

Why can't I see Angry Birds Beta in the market or Glyder along with a slew of other apps? I don't mind side loading but is there an app that would allow me to see these items in the market? Is something mis-configured on my phone?
Well crap, I check today and I can see the mentioned apps, running FrankTwiz now, was Bionix before, what causes this?
I'm wondering this too. JI6 soft bricked my phone. All of my paid apps showed up except for Wunder Radio which is the one app I use CONSTANTLY. This totally sucks.
Download sgs tools on market and run the market fix
If they don't show right away give at least 24 hours after market fix all missing apps will come back

I just found the apk online for the app I was missing. After installing from that it loaded with all of my saved settings, etc. Very weird, but I won't complain.
Missing apps on Android Market
Yea, I just rooted my phone but I noticed some of the apps on the Market does not show up. I used another non-rooted Eris and the apps show up. So, is the current Market a different version?

[Q] Android 2.2 - Apps Missing From Market

I upgraded my Streak to the official 2.2 version and have found a lot of my apps in the market are missing. Apparently this is common if the device isn't recognized, which for some reason makes "locked / protected" apps hidden (why?). My question is:
Does anyone know how to get my protected apps to appear in the Market?
I've used z4root to get root access and installed the Market Enabler, but that didn't do anything for me.
FYI - I've just run Smokku's update.zip to improve performance and scored a whopping 1543 on Quadrant Standards full benchmark (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=848487).
Thanks!

I noticed the same thing. Even some of the apps I had previously bought are not showing. Fortunately I backed them up with titanium backup and was able to restore them.
Anyone have any thoughts on this?
I had the same situation. I just searched for the app using Appbrain.com on the computer, then used Google Goggles to scan the barcode and download the apps from the Market.

same here it's like that market detecting that my streak still using Android 1.x because I cant find "youtube", "skyfire" etc....can anyone help us?
The problem here is the Market still shows them as unavailable. If your fingerprint is unrecognized then you can't see locked apps...

I'm running the Official 2.2 after upgrading from ATT 1.6, same problem here. Has any one found a solution yet?
Thanks
I told you all to use appbrain on a computer. Use Google Goggles, then scan the barcode & that should take you to the app in marketplace.

I've been doing that for a while, it gets annoying when your not in front of a PC all the time
Sometimes, even that doesn't work. Square, for example, won't appear. I backed up using the Dell backup/restore as well as On The Fly (which backs up apps) so I wasn't screwed out of apps I had already paid for or downloaded, but there are many apps that do not show up on Market when using cooked ROMS.
Dell backup restore often needs to go back to the market and these apps also fail, presumably because they are locked. I have also posted in this thread which has a few suggestions, none of which have worked for me yet but others may have more luck.

android market .com

have to say loving this now its up and running, just logg in and select apps and it pushes them to your device great
+ 1 its just wonderful
For some reason the site doesn't work for me. It detects my phone, but it says my carrier is O2? I don't live in England. Also on the home page there are absolutely no apps showing. Im guessing this is because i live in a country with no paid apps, but it doesn't even show the free apps. Only when i search for apps they appear. Lastly when i try to install an app, nothing happens. The site then says that the app is installed but nothing happens on my phone.
So far this site is totally useless for me. None of the features work.
One thing worries me though, SSL certificate is bad atm.
Is anyone with a custom ROM getting apps to install over the air? The site says apps installed but nothing on my phone.
Yea same for nothing installing

Timescape has new apps in market!

SE has added a bunch of new Timescape addons in the market. Linkin, Foursquare among others. Works with 2.1 x10's!
They have also changed (at least on my phone) the my apps to a Sony Ericsson option.
Full access to all the menus and having it show options in settings menus required a reboot.

They've actually been up there for months, just the annoying section replacing My Apps is new
Yeah, I first spotted this yesterday and checked up on some of the blogs mentioning the moving of "My Apps".
Frankly, I hate it. I don't even use Timescape or plan to use anything on the SE channel, and the fact that they've moved the My Apps option to the menu rather than on screen is just frustrating, especially as I have no choice in the matter. I'll be keeping an eye on any ways to change this back, if they don't.
this must only effect those with x10i firmwares. i went back to an x10a firmware and still do not have the new market features.

Google Play Update

I know I can download the Google Play market manually, but I was wondering why its not being pushed? I know a couple of people who have the EVO and they eventually got it pushed to their phones automatically. I haven't. Is there something I am missing that enables this? I have never gotten and of the market updates without having to do them manually.

Are you on stock or Aosp? Also, you might have deleted marketupdate.apk? The determines if your market gets updated I believe.
Rooted with stock deox rom. I have the marketupdate , so hrm.
Go to settings > applications > market then clear data and unisntall updates, the open the market from your app.drawer or homescreen and it will push the new playstore to your device

It may be your rom, I was on kang ics and it auto updated but when i went to a sense 3.5 rom because of lack of ffc on the rom the market never updated, had to do a manual
how do you do a manual update?
+1 for clearing data usually works for me when i come to a rom with the old market
and to clarify i have the apk on sd card so if it doesnt do it automatically with in a reasonable time i just update that way
