Market keeps defaulting to the wrong account

[j_grouchy]

Every time I open Market on my phone, it keeps opening up to the My Apps portion, but under the wrong Google account. I have three gmail addresses, but my Google Market account was set up for just one particular one. For some reason, I have to switch back to that account manually. I'd like Market to open to the Market home page by default...and the default Google Account for the My Apps page. How can I get this fixed?

Also, why are apps showing up under these other gmail accounts if the account I use to buy my apps is a different one?

Same here. Randomly defaults to my work Google Apps account. Seems my work account only lists the stock Google apps (which by default checks "Allow auto updates" even if they are deselected under your primary account).

Slightly annoying.

I'm getting the same issue. I'd be excited to get a fix for this.

have you guys tried clearing data under manage apps and reselecting your primary?

Yup same issue here. I did try clearing data, and even uninstalled it but same result. It happens about twice a week.

This seems to only happen to me after switching roms.

It will even open up updates for apps I just updated with the other account. Then, it shows some apps aren't installed that really are. Again, I thought it was switching roms and wiped and restored again. This seemed to fix the issue.

Then, I went onto my girlfriends phone to see if her Wallet update. That phone is completely stock. When I went into the market it said wallet and shopper weren't installed on her phone as well.

This new market is terrible.

It's so bad that the first thing I do when I open the market is check to make sure the proper account is selected.

Same thing here. I too am in the habit of checking the account every time I open Market.

Me too...did Google maybe introduce this bug in the last update made to the Market app?

I did this and so far it's worked but I haven't restarted the phone yet.

not to sound like a noob, but where would you clear data and assign a primary gmail?

the account I initially set up is synced with contacts and all options in the accounts, and the secondary syncs only my gmail and calendar.

I usually only notice it when it tells me there is updates available, I click on the notifications and it shows the standard google apps, then I have to go back out and switch accounts and go into my original google account to update the apps. Its slightly frustrating at times lol.

OK, I rebooted it and it kept the proper account as default!

 

[j_grouchy]

Not for me. I've cleared cache, cleared data, rebooted...still defaulting to the wrong account.

i think its safe to say at this point that the market is broken.

 

[j_grouchy]

i think its safe to say at this point that the market is broken.

I wouldn't say "broken"...maybe "cracked".

Blowing blue smoke. Needs an engine swap.
