My active install percent has been dropping since the 25th of August. Bit of a bummer since it had been rising more or less consistently as new versions were released and I was hoping this was reflecting the increasing quality of my app. I had a strange and unsettling experience today that may be relevant.
I was checking for updates in the market and there was one for AppBrain. I started downloading the update and left the market. I was notified the download (or maybe the install) failed so I re-entered the market. The market thought the download was still in progress so I cancelled it. After cancellation the market no longer thought AppBrain was installed but it was still on the phone as far as I could tell. I rebooted but that changed nothing. I installed it again via the market. During the install the market seemed to know AppBrain was installed (as if it was installed outside the market e.g via adb). In short, market place goes nuts and forgets the app is installed. User has app but never gets updates and possibly is removed from active installs. I was on the bus home from work so this (as with all user reports) recollection may not be 100% accurate but it is a possible explanation.
