Download Unsuccessful T-Mobile HTC Hero G2

Anyone having this issue tonight? I have tried reloading settings, reflashed phone to 1.5, 2.1 still fails downloading apps.
I have tried no sdcard, new sdcard e.t.c.

I'm having the same problem with my desire hd, thought it might be something with my phone settings or an app i installed but after seeing this thread, maybe a server issue?

Possibly could be, can anyone confirm this with any other phones?

Yup, I have the same problem and my other friends also can't download anything from the Market.

You talking about Market access?... I'll have a go,....
EDIT,... YEP, fail.

Server Issues *Sigh* I reset my phone for nothing thinking it was an issue. Damn!!!!

Just tried downloading maps on my girlfriends Hero.... fails ever time.. on "3" UK but my Desire works fine...

For some reason i'm now getting more luck using mobile data, not WIFI.
It does fail to start 3 times out of 5 but if it doesn't start downloading after 5 seconds or so I just cancel download and hit install again.

had some luck downloading a couple of apps but the failure rate is higher than the success rate, does anyone have a clear idea what's going on? google returns results that are a year or two old with this forum being the only recent one on the topic

oh for **** sake. i wiped my phone and reflashed my ROM :|!
add another person to your list :|

I had the same problem on my Hero.
Did following things and then it worked for most of the downloads, couple of them didnt work I assume that could be bcos it wasnt meant for 2.1
What I did -
swap the sim and it gave me that I am signed out from Google..
Changed back to original sim again... signed in to google emails...
Then in Settings> Account & Sync> Unticked Google...
Came out of the settings...
Restart the phone..
Went back in the settings.. tried downloading... it failed...
Went back into Settings>account & sync>.. Ticked All options for Google...
Waited for that little circular sign to appear on the top bar and google email thing..
Came out of settings...
Downloaded apps from Market...
and it got installed...
let know if it helped..
thanks

It's ok forgot to post back in this thread, it seems like a market server issue for everyone not for a certain configuration. It's ok now.

Still wont download here.... still cant download google maps on this dam phone....
even wireless wont.... my Desire is still fine.

i'm having issues too.. some apps just stuck on downloading =/

hmm...
on my hero (t-mobile g2 touch android 2.1), my sapphire (cm6.0.0 ds) and my other sapphire (sparksmod 1.1.2) most of the downloads failed.
Astro File Manager works everytime on every phone.
my "nuerburgring livecam"-app also starts downloading on my sapphire cm6. now installing. the same with "öffi". but all the other downloads stuck on "downloading" or "download unsuccessful"

I was having problems with this for a few days, I tried everything.
Now it works fine for me, some say it was the market itself because of the big google maps update.
If you are on a Cyanogen 6.1 based rom (floyo and elelinux) this fix might work;

Also, wipe dalvik cache.

[Q] com.google.process.gapps force close EVO

Question, Im getting alot of "com.google.process.gapps" force closes on my EVO since I restored a few apps thru Titanium Backup. I rooted about a week ago and never had any issues with this. The only apps that I restored was angry birds and a to-do-list app along with all the data that came with the apps. I have tried cleaning caches and restarting the phone and nothing seems to work... what would you suggest? I seen a few threads when i searched - but they were for the G1 and the Captivate, nothing for the EVO... any help would be appriciated...
TIA

Did u flash any Rom or Theme??

nope, I rooted and am still using the stock ROM... I was going to flash Frost or some thing, but I want to make sure this doesnt carry over to the flashed ROM, or if there is a fix...I would prefere to fix it...
I am also getting a force close on the phone process.... when some one calls me and I ignore the call it force closes the process for the phone as well...

Try reinstalling the gapps.apk. One of them must of been corrupted by the data you restored.

do you know where I can find that at? I have never heard of it...

Also the thing that is confusing, is I can still access my market, maps, latitude, people, gmail... etc
If the apk or files were corrupted, I wouldnt be able to access those apps... i will try to reinstall the apk, but I would like to know what I did to make this error happen, so I know not to do it again...

one thing I think it could have been was there were two "people" files in my Titanium Back up... One was up near the top it said "People 1.00" and then there was one near the bottom with a line thru it that said "People 1.1.1" or some thing to that effect... I deleted the one at the bottom with the line thru it cause I thought I didnt need it any more... could this be wahts up with this error?
I can still access People thru the People widget, but some times it takes abnormally longer to load my list of contacts...
I can also still access Market, Gmail, Maps, Latitude...
I just clciked on Talk and it seems to be the problem, every time I click Talk it brings up the force close issue...
should I just reinstall the Talk.apk?
I also get "com.android.phone" force close when I decline a call...
when I went into my ROM manager, I clicked the "fix permissions" and it says "error occurred while attempting to run privlaged commands"
Any info on any of this would be great...

Anyone out there
Sent from my EVO while tethered into the Matrix thru Wifi...

Okay well I have googled/searched XDA 'til I was green in the face... I still can't figure out how to fix this issue?
Just answer me this, If I do an entire factory reset - will I loose root?
I have wiped the cache thru recovery, Should I try wiping the delvic-cache also, before I factory reset to see if that works??
I can not find any where to download the "gapps.apk" anywhere, I found this one thread that told me to install these in this order:
1. TalkProvider.apk
2. GTalkService.apk
3. Talk.apk
but none of them worked... they wouldnt even install... it just kept saying install failed...so I found another thread with the 2.2 gtalk and it installed...but Im still getting the error...
I have been getting several other errors, like htc.bgp force close (or some thing like that) as well as com.android.phone force close...
So should I just do a NAND restore or should I do a factory reset instead? OR should I run the RUU and start over to root...??
I am at wits end here and am not getting anywhere with searching...
TIA

I would start with a NAND restore. (Hopefully you have one from before the problem started)
If that doesn't fix it, do a factory reset.
If that doesn't fix it, Factory reset and instal a custom ROM (Sprint Lovers is very close to stock if that's what you like)
I don't think running an RUU is necessary. Once you obtain full Root, you should be able to fix any problem with .apk's or programs on the phone.

Thanks for the input, I was beginning to think I was invisible... lol... I will try that and see what happens...

Well, I went ahead and tried one more thing before I did what you said to do and I think it worked... I went into my EVO while in Disk Drive mode and I cut my entire Titanium Backup folder out of the phone and copied it onto my Desk top. Then I went into my OLD EVO files from the end of the year and I copied the latest folder into my phone. I then went to Charge only, clicked TB and refreshed the app list... Then I was left with a ton of apps that were not installed on my phone. I then went thru each one and restored the ones that were still installed and deleted the ones that were not... (except for the stock apps that came with the phone), so far so good... I will test it more tonight and see whats up, have not gotten any force closes since I finished...
One thing I would like to know tho - where can I get the stock dialer.apk
Some how it got deleted off my new EVO and when I try to load up one of the htc.dialer.apk from my old EVO - the new one does not recognize it... I am currently useing "dialer one" from the market - but I would prefere to make my NAND back up of the Official stock ROM with all the stock apps...any ideas?
EDIT: Okay, fixed the com.google.process.apps issue but did not fix the other force closes... I guess I will have to try the steps above - and worse case - ill just run the RUU and start all over...

I had this problem once and it was related to a widget I downloaded that retrieved missed calls. Don't know if that helps.

But thats the thing - I didnt download anything - I restored two apps, one was opera mini with data and the other was spareparts... then I lost my htc dialer - so I installed Dialer one from the market... I dunno Im just gonna have to do the stpes above and if they dont work - Ill just wipe and run RUU and reroot... no biggie...

Okay I did a NAND restore... then I went thru and set up ALL my apps and settings again and then I did a fresh NAND Backup with clockwork first AND then Amon_Ra... all seemed well except, after I did the Clockwork Backup... I was getting "com.smithmicro.DM has stopped unexpectedly" so searched and read a little and it seemed to have some thing to do with the PRL/Profile updater... so i went into the settings and opened the app manager and cleared the "data" in com.smithmicro.DM and then I restarted the phone and that seemed to fix it... thanks for all the help...

Market Problem - I am desperate!

Ok for almost a week now I have been unable to download anything from the Market. The downloads start and nothing every happens, they never download. Everything else on my tablet works fine. I have tried everything:
1. Flashed multiple roms, even rooted stock rom, cleared formatted everything, same problem.
2. Flashed multiple kernals including stock
3. Cleared market and download caches
4. Tried replacing with different market versions.
5. Deleted all files on internal sd
Nothing. I am going crazy. Could there be a file on my internal SD that maintains it self after a reflash (doesnt get formatted?). Anyways I am desperate and need any advice you can give me.
Thanks!

You probably already did this but on the off chance. In CWM clear cache and then goto advanced and clear Delvic cache.

yes I have done all of that.

i have the same problem, the way I fix it is to go out of the market, then start it up again, and try to download it again. This sometimes takes 3 or 4 tries. I try it on both the native market app as the website. No id why it happens, I am running 3.2 stock rooted.

Go to the android market on your computer.
https://market.android.com/
Find the app you want.
You put in your google account info and it will ask which device you want to install it on.
Click Iconia A500 and in a few minutes it will download to that device.
I had one that would not download and did it that way.

Did you try this by any chance?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1185168
TL;DR
Remove your google account and re-sync it

Try going to....
Settings, accounts & sync, click your gmail account, then on the top right of your screen it says "remove account", click that.
Go to the market, resign in with your gmail and password.
Worked for me... hope it works for you.

Help, lost market updating Civato mix from c3 to c6.

I just updated Civato's c3 mix to c6. I did not do a full wipe reset ( I didn't want to reinstall everything) and have lost Market. I downloaded the vending.apk linked in his rom section and installed rebooted.
Still nothing.
Everything else works fine so far. I just keep getting "no application installed".
Other than reinstalling with a reset wipe, any ideas on fixing my mistake?
Thank You

Interesting. Just yesterday I had issues with my Phones Market app. Force Closes after it started. So I downloaded and installed the new market app. Here's where it got interesting.
Not sure if I deleted the old on the first attempt, or before the second attempt, but when I finished, I selected Market from the launcher "no application found". So I uninstalled all market apps. Installed the new, and from the launcher "no application installed" again! Checked my "apps" and the market icon worked! Had to delet the old icon from my launcher, and drop the new one there.
So my guess, is uninstall the old before installing the new. Remove all traces of it.

I did fix it.
I tried the Civato fix of renaming vending.apk and dlding another placing it in system/app and rebooting. No luck. I tried installing the app manually and received the "no application found" warning.
Luckily I had one sitting in Titanium backup. It reinstalled an older version and I did have to delete the old icon.
Just strange that it would not install the way it should.

Yeah, I remember reading about it in that roms thread. Seems to be a rom specific issue with it. Glad you're up and running.

I know and sorry for the trouble , it has got something to do with the 3.1.6 and 3.2 Market. If you install that version it is hard to revert back to the original A500 market (1.0.28) without doing a full wipe.
I posted it on my thread , that it is better to stay with old market , make a NANdroid backup and then flash the rom with new marked to check it out if you like it.
I'm really sorry for your trouble , I didn't notice the problem myself until I tried to revert back to the Old market.
I think all the roms with New (leaked) 3.2 market will have the same problem if you want to revert back to the old market. A full wipe or a titanium backup is the only solution then.

I've only had my A500 for a couple of weeks, but I've already tried quite a few ROM's since then, and the funny thing is, 75% of the time, there's a market issue! Dunno if it's just me or what. It typically only happens with the ICS market leak. Maybe some devices just don't like it. But anyway, I seem to have come up with a universal fix that has worked every time I've tried it. I just posted about it here. Basically, what you're doing is completely removing the market and all traces left behind, rebooting, injecting the 3.1.6 market, and rebooting again. It's almost too easy

Thanks and yep , I think it is some problem the way 3.2 market (leaked version) is intigrated into the system , on the full ICS 4.0 there will be no problem I guess but on HC3.2 it got some problems.
Edit:
The A500 uses a market simular like the website android market , it is intigrated into the system , I did a test , even when I delete the vending apk and marketupdater apk in the rom before flashing it , it still installs the 1.0.28version and I think that there it goes wrong when you install a other Market version and then try to go back.
I stick with the 1.0.28 version on the A500 , I think this web-layout is the more clearer one , 2.3.6 is ok but 3.1.5 and up to 3.2 got to small fonts and icons for me and is good for phones but not tablets in my opinion , the only good in those new versions is the rotation where the 1.028 only got horizontal view.

Don't be so hard on yourself. You have the nerve to give people new roms to play with. Nothings perfect and will always have minor issues we learn to work around. Just keep doing your thing. Believe me, people appreciate it more than you know

No need to apologize. I read the instructions and tried it anyway.
I'm very happy with your rom so thank you for all the time and effort.
I'm using Thors kernel and have no complaints.
We only learn from our mistakes and this was a very minor lesson.
I just discovered I have the "Error purchasing" problem.
Any ideas on a fix? I cleared cache no luck.
Thank You

go to the android market with Google webbrowser. Market acount settings .Make sure your device isn't hidden in menu.
Try downloading and installing true android market from the webpage and see if your tablet starts installing the picked app. If it doesn't. Your tablet is hidden in menu of the devices and you need to change that in your market account settings.

Fixed it, fingers crossed.
I tried to uninstall it from Titanium Backup and received the message that Finsky.apk would uninstall.
Since I was not certain which version of Vending.apk and Finsky.apk were on the tablet, I pulled them both from Thors 10 rom.
I then did the usual, rename the old ones, copy the new ones, force stop, clear cache and data, delete account, reboot, login, create new account.
Works fine now.
Are Vending.apk and Finsky.apk linked in some way? Previously I tried different versions of just Vending.apk and had either the error purchasing or fc when checking my apps.
Thank You

Well it seems to be that the finsky.apk is linked.
Thanks for the info.

It is linked - I have noticed this before. But check my last post on the first page. It's not necessarily required for the market to run (at least, with version 3.x) because I have removed it entirely. By removing all traces of the market (finsky.apk, vending.apk, and clearing cache) a fresh market apk can be pasted into /system/app with the permissions set to rx-r--r-- and it should run just fine.
Another thing which apparently works (who knows why) is going to Android settings, and selecting your language (even though it's already selected) and then running the market again. Not sure if that applies to tablets, but I remember having to do it with my phone on certain ROM's & market versions.

Help installing ArmSense_XE_0.6.130 ROM

Noob alert. First post, first rom.
Thought it about time I had a go at hacking my Hero and thought I’d better start with a rom that seemed stable. I chose the ArmSense_XE_0.6.130 Android2.3.5+sense3.5 on this forum.
Root and install of the custom recovery was painless.
Flashed this rom and all seemed well. The first thing I thought I’d try was maps, as I want to check gps functionality, but no maps app to be found. I then remember reading in this forum that custom roms rarely contain the Google apps. I found, downloaded and flashed the 20110828 version of gapps (in the same way as I flashed the initial rom, but without doing a wipe first, I hope this is right).
Still no maps. I know they can be downloaded from the market (play), but the market app seems to fail. When I select it the screen goes white for a few seconds and then returns without displaying any error. Not wanting to give up I visited play via the browser, but this would not let me download directly to the phone either, as it reported that I must use the phone app to visit the site first.
I’ve obviously visited the market many times before on this phone, and am sure I set my Google account up properly during the setup. (though googlemail has changed to gmail during the time between I originally setup the phone and now).
The upshot of all this is that I have these questions:
Generally have I done the right things?
Should I have the maps and come to that gmail, which I now notice is also missing?
Any ideas on the problem with the market app?
And lastly, I was sort of expecting the same clock as shown on the op of the ArmSense_XE development thread be the default, but this is not the case. I quite like it. What is it and where does it come from?
Restored to my original stock 2.1 configuration for now.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
The ROM you choose is far from being stable, that's why it's marked with the version ArmSense_XE_0.6.130.
Please check this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1343988
I'm using the SHPONGLE v3.5 and I'm quite satisfied.
M

Thank you for the advice. Downloading it now.
I have the right gapps package I guess and will need to add it to this rom too?
Cheers

Hi,
The ROM already have gapps light, meaning that you can register your account and access Google Play.
Then you can download the apps you need like Maps, Youtube, Gmail, whatsoever...
M

Got it working now.
Apart from a little niggle with the lock screen (probably me being unfamiliar) it all seems very fast and smooth.
Thank you for your advice.

SHPONGLE v3.5 is by far the fastest 2.3.7 on Hero in my (very fresh) experience.
