Many users trying to download apps from the new Android Market Website are faced with a troubling error they can’t get past (we’ve got a solution). When they select an app to install they’re met with a message saying, “”There are no android phones associated with this account. Please sign in with a different account.”
If you’ve got the same problem (it’s affecting both rooted and non-rooted users), we’ve got step-by-step solution that should have you downloading apps and games from the market website in no time:
- Log on to http://market.android.com
- Click on My Account
- Click on Recovering Password
- Enter password (to validate it’s you)
- Under the SMS Section:
- Click Edit
- If phone number is there – remove your phone number – if number not there, go to step 6
- Save
- Sign Out
- Sign back in, go back to same page as needed – or if prompted:
- Enter and save your phone number
- Sign out
- Log on to http://market.android.com
- Click on My Market Account
- Click Settings tab – your phone should now appear!
Thanks to EarlyMon from AndroidForums who tracked down the solution and tipped us… you da man!

Followed the steps exactly and didn’t work for me. I have a rooted phone with a custom ROM on. I also have a Google Apps domain account as my primary account but have linked Google Market to a secondary Google Mail associated Google Account.

Definitely, we’ll just have to see if they fix the problem. Otherwise I’m just ignore it and make people aware that Google has issues linking their own services correctly (which is nothing new).
Worked for me, thanks
this is typical of google: the software doesn’t work, and you have to jump thru hoops.
just ignore the online market and it will get fixed or it will fail. it’s google’s choice.
I saw a comment that says if only we could see the apps installed. To that Guy. Look around, maybe under my account or just plain “account” not sure which one its under but I know its in there. I like this and its great to have a PC client but I’m five with doing it on my phone. I mean this is something that we have been needing to help pull even closer with iTunes
Jaestoner1, take it easy on Rick. He is probably a 10 year old trying to have some fun.
@ rick n meme you dorks
Same problem as Ben… no phone number on my nook color which shows up as MAKER: LogicPD MODEL: Nook Color (zoom2)
Try to install something and it says this item is not compatible with your device.
Only for some things though. Seems to depend on permissions. Can’t update facebook app this way and can’t find it in market. Still have an older version installed though.
Worked for advanced task killer though.
Stop doing me favors by deciding what my device can do google!! Gimmie a warning, but let me go ahead anyway if I should choose to.
Site must be down. Just tried a few times myself.
didn’t work for me either. tried twice
Can’t even connect to the site! Says there’s nothing there. Using Chrome too!
Didn’t work for me and followed it exactly.
Didn’t fix the problem for me. Thanks anyways.
Didn’t work for me, and I followed the steps exactly.
Now if it would show all of the installed apps it would be great.
Worked for me – but I had to do something after.
Once you are done go into My Market Account – Settings.
If you have any hidden devices, unhide them and then wait a minute. I played with my phone for a few seconds and then suddenly it appeared on the Market site. You can now re-hide you old phone.
