Since I updated to the new Orange .66 ROM earlier today, I can't download any apps from the marketplace.
I try and then the download just hangs saying 'Starting download' as does nothing. I've left it 'downloading' for ages but it didn't do a thing.
I can search the marketplace etc but just can't download.
Any idea?
Checked all of my data connections, everything is fine, exchange emails are coming through. Even tried it with WiFi enabled and connected.
It's driving me mad as I updated the ROM using the RUU installer which wipes everything on your phone. I now can't download the apps I need.
Sorted. Everything suddenly came back to life without me doing anything. Must have just been a minor blip for a couple of hours
It's a quite normal problem many users are experiencing. The usual fix is in fact to log in on the Gtalk app (believe it or not)
I'm using stock rom and have the same problem.

So you open Gtalk and then the downloads should start or do you have to stay in Gtalk until they're done downloading? I tried opening it and then going back to the Market Downloads and they hadn't started yet.

You have to log in to Gtalk - that's the thing to do

Good it worked out for you. Have fun downloading from market
Anyone know what fixes Market apps not downloading very first time you start download?
What i mean is when i first install a rom and try to download an app from market it gets stuck on "downloading" but wont download apps,apps will download eventually but it may take few minutes or few hours to start,and after the first app downloads successfully market functions without problems.
I know there is a trick to make it download quick first time,but i dont know what it is.It used to be clearing market cache or syncing gmail but that doesn't work anymore.There is a few roms that i used that have this problem,gotta be a fix for it.
Wrong forum

Yes wrong forum but you can answer the question (assuming you know if not apologize), but what i do is when i first boot up on a new rom, i open up the market, then it will auto send me to sign in after i sign in and everything syncs up i restart the phone. When the phone boots back up, i open the market let it sit for a little while then go to menu -> downloads, and usually my previously installed apps are listed i try to install one if successful i have no market problems(btw this was all done over wifi).

Yeah tried that already it don't work
You can try signing into google talk, this fixes the initial lag, might fix this too. Sometimes I cancel and restart the download a few times which eventually works

No. This is definitely the wrong sub-forum for this thread. This sub-forum is for ROM/Kernel development.
This belongs in General.
Does this forum have a dedicated Mod? If we do, we need a second.

Hopefully you don't have a lot of important stuff, but wipe your phone completely and reflash the rom you like and try my steps.

No,my market is working fine(i don't mind waiting for first download to go through",i was asking because someone was having this issue on kanged rom that i posted,so i wanted to see if there is quick way to start first download.I will try your method next time i flash and see if it works.
I've had this issue with every rom i've tried, except for the baked snack one, and i've tried just about every rom ;p
The workaround i've found is..turn on wifi.. open up the market place and let the icons show up in your notification bar.. then turn off wifi. Works flawless for me everytime.

Hi all,
Could someone check to see if their Friends stream is working, mine stopped working a few days ago so I tried logging out of my Facebook account and back in again and I just keep getting an error saying that the service is unavailable.
The Android Facebok app works fine.
my friendstream and htc peep/facebook are all working fine

Damn, I wonder what's wrong with mine then.
I did a search and found someone saying that by clearing the "cache" that worked for them, I know how to clear Internet cache etc. however is there any other cache on an Android phone that I'm not aware of.

DOH !! I knew about that setting but did not think to go there, thanks.
I've cleared all the cache for the Friends Stream app and it still refuses to sign in, hmmm.
remove the widget & add it back,
I loaded up EB13 last night and had no issues until I started downloading my apps. I have Slingplayer that I purchased to watch my Slingbox on my phone while on the go. If I search the Market it is missing. At first I thought it was something with paid apps, but I noticed my other bought apps were listed. I also noticed Ringlert was not listed in the market...a free app.
If I login into the Market on a PC web browser I can find those apps with no issues. But it says I have them installed on my phone already. Umm..no I don't!
Anyone else having issues like this?
There seem to be some people, myself included, that are having issues with protected apps. I noticed that NYTimes is not showing up and neither is TMZ. I need to try a clean install and see if I still have the problem, I cannot tell if this issue is happening after a data restore from CMW, or if its a real bug. Did you do any data restore?
The problem is the market does not recognize this release as a legitimate. It will take a few days before it does. There is a fix you can apply if you search for it in the device section.

Kinda figured something like that... think that's the i9000 fingerprint fix or something like that.
Also, try to contact the developer of the app. They might be able to change something that might make it work.
Just for the Record, I'm having the same problem as well. I Installed the EB13 and Slingplayer isn't listed in the Market, I'll wait a few days to see what happens. Hopefully it's back in there cause I really don't feel like screwing around with crap.
Im having the same problem .... cant find Slingplayer in market after EB13 ... Does anyone have the fix??????????

metallica said in a previous post that there is a fix somewhere the development section. it has to do with the i9000 fingerprint. search for it.
I can not find it. I wish someone could post a link to it. And do I have to root the phone to use the this FIX?

I'm not sure about the i9000 fingerprint, but here is the Nexus One fingerprint.

And yes, you must be root to use this fix as you will be editing a system file (/system/build.prop).

This is the old fix here
Same problem. I have eight or so apps that I used to have that either can't see in the market after applying EB13, or that come up as "not found" on AppBrain now. Google customer service suggests that I reboot my phone. *sigh*
From Google:
Hello Rob,
Thanks for writing in. We believe we have identified the cause of this issue and should be able to resolve this within next seven business days.

I had the same problem. Try clearing the cache and data in the market app.
Settings-applications-manage applications
I hope this helps.

Slingplayer still missing. Missing on another phone that isn't rooted. He refuses to root his phone.
Clearing the cache won't help with this problem. It's on Google's side.
If you are rooted, you can always backup the apk file while on the old 2.1 or DK28 build when it showed up in the market, then reinstall by hand after loading EB13
This is now resolved for me.

Same here, the app I couldn't find before today is showing up now.
Yep looks like Google fixed it...Slingplayer is now showing with an update to boot.
There's a new update on the Play Store for the stock Google Phone app. And man they killed one thing I LOVED the most about it, the swipe to the different panels. I would always swipe left to my Favorites, or swipe right to the Contacts, or further swipe to the Voicemail. It was so smooth and fast, to just swipe from anywhere on the screen.
Now it's been moved to the bottom of the screen, no more swiping, now you need to tap on which panel you want. Which to me takes even longer now, and is not as fast and smooth as before.
I have been using the stock Google or ASOP Phone app for years, probably 8 years or so. This change is no bueno.
It was probably done for the benefit of those with phones that had less than quality touch screens and might have activated swipes unintentionally.
I dont mind though.
Oh man. Just go the update, too. I hate it that I can't swipe. In what weird direction is Google moving? I don't get it. They keep removing great features or replacing them with things nobody asked for or things completely out of touch with users.
The argument of the guy above me is kinda invalid. Even the worst digitizer + SoC combo will be able to do a simple swipe. I don't buy that argument, whoever came up with it. Even if they did not. In what world is an inferior, low end device getting a recent Android version on which the latest phone app is available?
Thank god apk mirror exists. AFAIK 18.0.187698947 is the latest and last one with swipe enabled.
Do you have the link for the .apk of a previous Phone app

Mine keeps stopping!
I haven't been able to use the "Phone" app since the update!
I've done everything but reset the phone, nothing works and
since I can't even open the app, I can't even get rid of the update.
Any suggestions?
Thank you.

That would seem to indicate that it has not been updated, and the update is not the cause of your issue. Try updating?

I take it you're saying the May security update is when your phone app broke, right? If that's the case, you can try flashing the May factory image after removing -w from the batch file. That 'should' rewrite the phone app, but I am not 100% sure it will. If not, a factory reset/reflash with wipe command left in batch file might be necessary unless someone else has an idea.
Maybe try an earlier version apk from apkmirror.com

No the May update was fine, right after the app update started crashing.
But I think I'll try the earlier version from "apkmirror.com" before committing to re-flashing again.

Cool! Good to know you didn't have to do a reset.
Based on the layouts for their new apps like the pixel 2 launcher or chrome beta, it looks like they are making apps easier to navigate with one hand by placing things towards the bottom of the screen. Seems easier to navigate than having to reach to the top of the screen in the prior version.
