OK, I've got my new ROM installed and I love it. I'm in the process or re-installing my apps via AppBrain, and when I come to the two that I paid for (SystemApp Remover and ROMmanager) the "Buy" button is showing up again. I read in another forum that there should be something that says purchased but all I see is Buy. Do I have to go through the official Market in order to get them back without paying?
Anyone? I tried going in through the actual Market, not AppBrain, and it is still saying I have to buy them.
Paid apps are linked through your Google account. Try opening the Market at least once (to "establish the link") before installing through AppBrain and see what happens.

Thanks for replying
I went in through the Market so see if that might work. It didn't, and charged me for the SystemApp Remover again... grrr. I think I'm more frustrated now than I was before... LOL
I figured out what I did wrong. When I installed AppBrain again, I used a different email address in the Google Checkout. I've done a Google search but can't find a way to change it. Does anyone know if this is possible?

You should be able to return the app since it was less than 24 hours since you bought it. In the AppBrain app hit Menu > Preferences > Sign out and sign back in but with the right email. I hope I'm understanding your problem correctly
I can't figure out how to sign out. I don't see that option anywhere.
OK, I understand what you are saying, but that's not the problem. I only have one AppBrain account, which I linked to the wrong email address through Google Checkout, when reinstalled it. I will try making a new AppBrain account and see if that works.
Nope, still brings up the wrong email, I guess because it is on the same phone.

1) You have posted in the wrong forum.
2) Market works fine in 2.2 unless you flashed one of the pre-release builds.
The sticky at the top of the N1 gen forum tells you in bold NOT TO ASK QUESTIONS.
Ask them in the Q/A section. Gen section is for news, tips only...

I'm having the same, or very similar problems. Basically, I'm seeing paid apps, and my purchases, but I'm not seeing the "Top Paid" tab, nor is the Market acting in any sane or rational way. For example, I install an app, and the notification bar will say downloading, then installing, then the notification that it installed. In the Market download window, though, I see it download, then switch to installing, but never get beyond that.
What started all this with me was this. Using Linda File Manager, I uninstalled a couple of apps (was trying out the feature since I was in there). In this case, it was Google Earth (don't really use it), and a Pirate game that I never grocked. Anyway, in the Market they wouldn't leave my list in the Downloads, so I wiped the cache and data in the Market app in Settings > Applications > Manage Applications.
After that, all my apps appeared as uninstalled in the downloads window, and the issue with installation started. First thing I did was try and reinstall all the apps, and ended up with a huge list of apps that were installed, but were marked as still installing by the market. Killing the market app cleared out the hung install progress bars. The other thing that started happening was that not all of my installed apps appeared in my download list. KO Boxing, for example was on the featured list as upgradable, but it wasn't in my download list to upgrade.
Ultimately, what I decided to do was wipe the phone and see what happened. After wipe, I logged in and FRF91 didn't restore my apps like it had in the past. In fact, the market was exactly the same as it was before the wipe, with all my apps showing as free or purchased. Installing issue was also the same. Now, I know that Google backs up the settings, so I thought maybe that had something to do with it. I wiped again, but in the configuration process post-wipe, I selected for Google to not restore from backup (hit menu in the setup when you are entering your username/password). This brought me through the process much quicker, but with no change in the market function.
So, I'm still without a "Top Paid" tab, nor with a all together sane Download window. It's frustrating the heck out of me, and I'm about to go back to whatever the 2.1-r1 release was (ERE27?) and see if that makes any different.
The ROM I'm running is the FRF91 full release from lox_dev:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715799
If T-Mobile is doing the OTA's to FroYo from 2.1-r1, then maybe I'll let it do it's own thing today and then see if that fixes it. Ugh.

The above snipped sections are my story too.
Updated last week manually from ERE27 to FRF85b to FRF91 using the official stock clients each time. Non rooted N1. I spent 6 hours on Friday night trying to sort this..
I've got posts up on the Google Nexus One forums also and am holding where I am for a definitive fix. It's very frustrating though..
Go to menu>applications> magage applications> all apps> market then force quit and clear data and whatever else is in there.

I tried that on Friday night. Once I'd done that, none of my installed apps showed in the Downloads section.
That's why I did a full wipe and set the phone back up. Luckily I was still able to find all my apps, including the purchased ones. However the missing 'Top Paid' button and slow market performance persisted.
So, for fun, I pushed back to ERE27 (2.1-r1) and same issue. No "Top Paid" in the Market, and issues with installation. This is complete wipe, nothing installed on the phone after imaging.
I let it upgrade to FRF91, which didn't change anything. I'm now pretty convinced that whatever this is is completely account related on the Google server side of things, and it needs to be sorted out by them
Guess I'll have to figure out who to contact for support from Google :/

I've made contact with Google via email and this is now being investigated.
I'm sending them a summary of the problems I've been having and pointing them at various threads both here and in the Market so that they can see how widespread this problem is.
I've also tried a full hard reset and cache wipe without luck. My belief is that this is something that Google need to sort server-side, so I'm done with my wiping and reinstalling for now...

Looks like this has now been fixed server-side.
I got my 'Top Paid' tab back this morning - Yay!
Trying to snag some new apps & update others & I am not sure if it is working. Avery app shows "starting download" with no progress showing. One that I was updating said "authorizing payment" forever. It looks like it may have worked, but it was only an update, so can't be sure. Hasn't shown up in the notification bar. I was having a problem with my wireless router & reset it & seem to be able to get on line OK, but he market has me wondering if I still have a problem.
Cheers,

Try signing in and out of Google talk.. no joke
//from the nook COLOR
I am pretty sure I accidentally deleted Google Talk. That must be the problem. How can I get it back. Is it an apk? Where can I find it?
Thanks,

Yes an apk. Would be in system/apps/
Not sure where to find them for download though

i started Google Talk, it logged me in, then I signed out ( Menu -> More -> Sign out )... (although it still seems to be running in the background )
but my downloads are still doing the same thing.
next i opened google talk again, then signed out... since its still running in the background, i used Advanced Task Killer to Kill Google Talk.
then went back into the Market, but no luck, its still stuck on Starting download...

Since I had deleted Google Talk, I just went & re-Auto-nootered. It seemed to work, as I can use Market again & nothing that I can see has been compromised. I am, by no means, an authority on this. Just relating my experience. YMMV! BTW post re-auto-nooter boot, I didn't see any Google sign in screen or anything different from a normal boot & market works fine.

I'm seeing people getting the Market and installing gmail, apps, etc. However, when I try to launch the Market and sign into Google, all I get is that it cannot communicate with Google's servers.
What's the deal here? What am I doing wrong?
It literally sits there trying to authenticate with google for about 5 minutes and then just fails. I can open the browser and go to websites, so it's not the wifi connection. Any ideas?
I am not sure why it is not working for you, but a few things to try that might help:
*browse to Google and sign into Gmail first, then go to the Market
*browse to the new android market where all your previous downloads are and try to push and App through from there (set up your NC as a device if you haven't already or do so from your PC)
Basically.....try to go anywhere where you can log into your google account and then maybe when you can get to the Market.
have you actually installed the Market, pushed it via adb, or what?

I am getting the same issue. Did you resolve this yet?
I was in the middle of posting how I had the same issue, but then it got fixed....I went into the GMail app, tried to sign in, typed in the wrong PW, it said I put in the wrong PW, tryed to sign in again, and it actually signed in. Market works now too.
Maybe it was just a fluke, but try putting in the wrong login info first. :\
I have the same problem as well have installed gmail and market with adb but cant sign into either of them google tells me it cant establish a reliable data connection running HC version 4
try signing in with youtube like we always had to?

I'm having an issue where NO apps are being shown for my primary account in the My Apps part of the Market. Not even paid apps. If I search for them, they show up as installed/purchased, but nothing shows in My Apps.
I've tried the usual clear data/clear cache and reboot, and the download a free app and restart. I've also even wiped and returned to stock -- no dice. Has anyone else experienced this bizarre issue before?

Clear data/cache, reboot.
I experienced this same thing and finally realized that you can switch accounts on the market and for some reason it decided to start defaulting to another of my google accounts that I have connected to this device (but not set as the primary). This actually has persisted and I have been too lazy to look into it, I just open up market and change it to my primary account every few days to get updates....however, I have noticed that I accidentally downloaded some apps into one of the other accounts which means I have to be on that one to update it unless I uninstall and reinstall under the correct one.

Yeah, as I said in my OP I've already done the data/cache and reboot.
And yeah, I know about the accounts thing...weirdly, a few apps show for my other two accounts, but nothing at all whatsoever for my primary account which should have 100+ apps.
I can't seem to find anyone else having this problem. Weirdly again, even if I download an app using my primary account, it still shows nothing in My Apps for it.
I've got the same problem going to try removing account to resyce right now.

Ya, I have that retarded prob too. I even updated market from aptoide. I'm on 5.5.893. Gonna update to 5.7.893 pretty soon, see if that fixes it. In the meantime try appbrain for updates.

Same issue here - still no solution.
Looks like google is aware:
Applications missing from "My Apps"
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.
Having this issue? Reported.

Not really bizarre, just a bug. I posted onseveral forums about this. This is a androud market place bug. You can find it posted over on Google.com in their support forums for android marketplace. Was posted originally posted on 9/13 I believe, with no fix yet. Its not limited to Bionic, virtually all new phones now see it. They have tried 2 marhetplace updates so far with no fix.
Some people report no problems ...but most posters report some kind of issue. For me, all purchased apps are visible, as are all preinstalled apps. No free apps show up.
Check out the threads over there. The fantastic Google support will dazzle you.
weird!! Hope you find a solution
Have same problem already posted on the fourm

The only solution I found was to wipe data, then re-add my Google accounts but I made a different account my primary. It doesn't matter which is primary anymore since the Market now allows you to select.

As I mentioned earlier, Google mentions this as an issue with marketplace. It was reported on 9/13 on the Google site. I 'assumed ' it was all phones.
Earlier today I setup my LG G2x andHTC G2. Both restored all apps, including paid and free apps. I FR my Bionic, and free apps were not setup. Paid apps were displayed but not installed.
Clear cache and reboot does not resolve this.
So, either something is going on with the market, and/or the Bionic.
Got the same issue.
Temporary solution - restore from TB. Works for a while then it reverts back to "no show"

i have some free purchases in my google market account that i want to remove so my account looks "TIDY".
i downloaded them i tried them and now i dont use them so i want to be removed
can i do that? how?
I think so, your purchased apps will be saved to your Google account so you can always install them again whenever you get a new android phone. However I'm not really sure...
Sent from my Optimus 2X using xda premium
yes they are saved to my google account and they are too many because i have been playing too much lately testing the apps.
but now i want to remove some i dont use from my google account
i don't think there is a way to remove them from your google account.
i have a further problem with my google market account.. i'm unable to browse my apps after the 10th page.. it's a known problem and hasn't been fixed for a while =\
I think its ridiculous not to be able to remove them just like itunes.
I want just to keep the apps i only work.

is it so difficult to put an "X" button to delete an app.
my market account is full of bull**** apps i dont use and i have to see them every time i go to my account!
YES itunes is a ****ty application when i first used it. but now after 2.5 years of use is far away from the competitors!
inside itunes is my music,apps,videos. i dont have to look around to find them. all of them is inside this app!

indeed so....
It doesn't seem to be possible, on Google Wallet there is no option to delete an app without refund.
paid apps can only be deleted by the developer or google after the 15 minute refund window.
to get rid of those, best you can do is ask the dev directly for a refund.
free apps you only have to uninstall.
once they are uninstalled they should be gone after you re-open the market app once or twice.
if this doesn't happen you're out of luck, the market account is bugged on your phone and you probably have to do a factory restore to fix it(and you can't restore a titanium backup for market/account related apps/settings!)
sorry i didnt mean for paid apps.
i mean for free apps that i tried them and i delete them in my phone.
i dont want to appear in my account library when i login from my computer browser (not in phone).
