Market issue in 5.07 driving me nuts! please help! - myTouch 3G, Magic General

I love cyanogen 5.07 but since moving to it from 4.x on my UK Voda' Magic 32B the market has been bust. I did a full wipe and install with a 512mb EXT 4 partition for apps2sd. I have since done further wipes and tried all the 5.08 test versions and they were the same!
The problem is two fold:
1) Sloooooow - over a minute for any page to load, was virtually instant before. It's basically unusable.
2) only have tabs for top free and just in, where before I had top paid also.
I have tried various things, such as clearing the cache of the market app and doing fix_permissions. Nothing seems to fix it.
Does anyone have any ideas? This happens on a completely fresh install without any 3rd party app
shenanigans.
Thanks in advance.

Moved to General since it's not about ROM Development.

I have literally tried everything with no joy. I keep seeing posts like this on other forums. Is my google account corrupt? How can I fix it without setting up a new account?
Hi,
I have the same problem with Android Market :
I'm French.
The Market work well on my old HTC Dream (G1 USA Version).
this week, I bought a Motorola Milestone (Droid) with Android 2.1, French version, and I set up my Google account.
Since that time, the market is really very slow to load and pay apps not appear.
I tried a reset, change the rom, but nothing works.
I also tried to change the fingerprint in the system/build.prop and now pay apps appear, but the market is still very slow...
So :
I tried to create a new Google account, and there : everything operates again though !
So I think the problem is Google account, and not the telephone.

Can Not Download From The Market

I am successfully running the Magic 5.0.1G rom... and everything was running OK... then yesterday I cannot download from the market.
I shows that "download is starting"... but it never actually downloads....
I tried rebooting, turning wifi on an off.... nothing is working.
I have the app to sd engaged.... but I did not mess with the cache to sd.
Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks!
Web
Same problem here. I had to flash back JF 1.43 RC9. Any solution would be appreciated.
Same problem here. Same details also. Looking forward to any ideas.
**app to sd not enabled.
Same here 5.0.1g, apps to sd not enabled, tried starting gtalk, cycle wifi, cycle airplane mode, multiple reboots, clearing market cache, everything I found on google. I don't want to go back to JF. Any solutions?
Yeah, boycott the market. We should make our own market!!! Free apps. How dare they decide to cut off the folk who could no longer wait for them to release "buttcake" and downloaded the Magic rom. I thought Google was my Friend. Now I see otherwise. I pay for their open sourced product to find it's nothing of the kind!!! Dirty rotten heathens!!!
or... we can just wait till the cupcake is released or the G2 hits the states. Market should be back up. This could also be a big ol' mistake in which case "Google is my friend, buddy and the best man at my wedding!!!" If not... Start a market and pay developers 88% of the proceeds...
I'm having issues similar to those stated. I noticed this morning that the apps weren't downloading, but after a few minutes they started. Tried a few more ten minutes later and the problem is back again. I'm running 5.01G appstosd
Did reverting back to JF solve the problem for those who did so? If not, could it possibly be a problem with the market itself? Maybe they are updating, and throttling the downloads to reduce the load while doing so? Just throwing the idea out there. I'm rather new to the scene and don't really know if that kind of thing ever happens. All other networking is working fine, and the market got a few apps for me today after it stopped working. Other files download from elsewhere. It sounds like an issue with the service rather than the roms.
Based on a report from BGR it's jus the G branch of the Cupcake builds while the HTC one still has access for now.

This was report to BoyGenius from XDA. Check the Magic/Saphire thread - last couple of pages.
Thanks for posting that.
I'm still keeping the build though. I don't need program updates and when I do I'll just download them off the online webs or download on another g1 and copy to an SD (for free apps) obviously.
Not getting rid of the candy they have in this build just for a market.
Didn't take long to get this problem solved. New builds labeled r2 (fixed market) can be found at Haykuro's google code page
http://code.google.com/p/sapphire-port-dream/
Sweet. Haykuro is god.
I downloaded it and flashed it and I still can't download apps from the market. I'm using 5.0.1Gr2-appstosd. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get this to work?
I wiped the phone before I updated also FYI
IM still having this issue, with the new 5.0.1Gr2
I am still having issues as well. Also, do not know if it's related, but on my t-mobile bill it says £ instead of $ on the "amount due ---"
im using 5.0.2H and ive never had an issue with the market, nor did i have one with 5.0.1H or 5.0
doesn't works
what im wondering is where is everyone getting this info about google blocking 'cupcake' users from the market? where is the official statement? because im using haykuros 5.0.2H and everything works on the market for me

The 5.0.2.H build works fine the issue is only on the Google Builds. I've tested the HTC builds and I can dl from the market with no issues, but once I install the Google one I run into the issue.
I have the same issue with the gr2 build of apps to sd...I used the HTC build prior and market was fine, but everything else was glitchy so I went for the google build...still, this rather sucks..I wanna play my paid apps!
Flashed to the HTC build until problem resolved. Even with no wipe, just a flash, market works fine.

Market problems after trying AOSP 2.0

Hi,
I was playing around with LoxDev's most excellent AOSP 2.0 ROM today. After installing, I added the Google apps so that I could look at the Market. This all seemed to work fine, but I noticed on "My Downloads" that most of my paid apps were missing.
Anyway, I reverted back to my previous ROM via the Nandroid backup I made before flashing 2.0, and now I find that the Market problems have followed me.
Specifically, most of my paid apps are no longer in "My Downloads", and I can't even find them if I search. Of course, they are all still installed on the phone, so I've not lost anything, and I can still see many paid apps on the Market - just not most of the ones I already own (though oddly I can see some). I tried buying another app to see if that would "refresh" my list of apps, but that is now stuck on "Authorizing Credit Card".
It seems likely to me that playing around with the Market on 2.0 has done something server-side to cause this issue.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Dave
I did the same thing, i reverted back, i backed up my apps and bought new ones and backed them up, and imported them into my AOSP rom file because market enabler doesnt seem to work for me on 2.0. But when i went back, i didn't have this issue. this is strange
I am finding this too, some of the apps have also disappeared from the market altogether for me! Luckily I only have a few 99p apps installed, but as a warning to others!
I fixed my issue by wiping the device so that I had to go through the set up wizard again. When I went into the Market, I was asked to confirm the terms and conditions, and I could once again see all my paid apps.
I then restored the Nandroid backup that I made prior to installing AOSP 2.0, and then I could see all my apps in the Market again. The new app I purchased began to install immediately too.
Regards,
Dave

Did it ever occur to you that the apps's devs can manage their accounts so that their apps only shows up in certain regions or on certain versions of the operating system?

I am *well* aware of this. The point is that my apps disappeared after running the Market on AOSP 2.0, and even after restoring my Nandroid backup (back to Modaco 2.8) they did not reappear.

Indeed clearly something was left behind - but I was quite surprised that a Nandroid restore didn't fix it on its own.

grr same problem can find twidroid in the market. Also missing some barcode scanners
Is it possible that this apps don't have support for Android 1.5?
It could be, that marketknow, that we are still at Android 1.5 and shows noapps, that have no service for Android 1.5
has anyone fixed this yet?? i still can't get around it. I need my twidroid.
Has everyone had this problem? It seems that the Google account needs to reset itself.
Been reading in a few places and if you log in with a different Google account the missing apps show up.
Getting a few paid apps pop up but still no twidroid. Also when I went to help in the market it said that "help wasn't available in my language"
Blacklisted for custom rom?
I think you need to re run the the agreement thing for the market as right now your google account is "un agreed"
sorry guys.... wouldn't it be "enough" to just uninstall the market app and reinstall it from apk? First start = terms and conditions accept button, doesn't it? I had a similar issue with googlemaps and evn though it took a lot of effort that is KIND of what I did. Some of you surely know it's not too hard and could maybe figure out a quick how-to... Just an idea!
ok, I've found a workaround. I tried to flash 2.1 ASOP ROM, open Market, Accept its Terms... then wipe and flash MCR. The Market is normal.

New Android Market Website

So it's finally out. What do you guys think? Is this the end of Appbrain? I loved appbrain cause I can browse the apps on the website and then just click install from there and it will automatically install on the phone. Now this can do it too!
The biggest upside to this? You can install (after you pay) "in-app" purchase app from the website. e.g. you can install the NBA League Pass from the website directly. Any other features I missed?
This is from Google themselves, not me.
https://market.android.com/
Cool. I like it.
I never really got into appbrain, because it still involved that extra step of opening the application itself.. and blah.. I think, I can't even remember. It just seemed tedious at the time to go onto the computer when it was quicker on my phone.
Then when Google does it, I'm all over it. I have been installing random applications just to install them. Why is this so awesome?!
I played with it for a while now and everything seems to be working well. I guess I can save some space by uninstalling appbrain and use this instead.
sweet jesus!
I'm like'n it...good stuff!
The automatic OTA install is working to my N1 and my Galaxy Tab now, it wasn't earlier this morning.
Works well!
With this new website comes another big change that will happen in the 3rd quarter of this year: NO MORE "LITE" version apps.

That's actually a good thing. You download the "free" application, and then if you decide to unlock it you buy the key from within the app rather than a separate unlocker application, or having the market cluttered with 2 separate versions.
Sounds like a plan!
The in-app purchasing as a general concept I'm not a massive fan off as it has the potential to lead to nickle & diming, primarily for games, but if used responsibly it should be good.
Wow, about time. Glad to see it's finally here.
now all they need to do is let you backup your app data. I dont want to lose my angry birds scores everytime i switch roms and forget to back it up with titamium backup
Well, I don't suppose there's a way for Market Enabler to work on the website?
It lists paid apps from all over the world, but it knows your phone's carrier and will prevent installs if your country does not support it..
I guess it's back to Market Enabler on the phone.
Anyone else having trouble actually buying apps from the website? Installing free apps works like a charm, but trying to purchase and install paid apps doesn't work. I press continue and _nothing_ happens.
running CM7 nightlies and the OTA installs are not working...
According to the website, you need to be logged into GTalk, only my GTalk won't log in. GTalk also appears to be missing from the market, so the problem may be on their end...
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Doesn't work for me, it's been years and Android Market still doesn't support Google Apps accounts for Checkout. Although I can login, no devices are listed under "my devices" on market.android.com
I'm running CM7 Nightlies as well, I'm a few behind though, and I'm always logged into GTalk and the OTA's are not working for me either.
It's not working here on MM v.20. I've tried installing several apps but nothing happens on the phone end, the GTalk solution they give also doesn't help. Weird thing is they all show up on my app list as completed when none of them have actually installed.

I'm having the same issue. I'm running CM6.1 kangorama's version and the install says it has worked on the website, but nothing changes on the phone itself.
I'm wondering if it has to do with it being a rooted device without a stock rom?

I'm betting that someone is going to have to create a Web App Store Enabler or something along those lines for this to work on rooted phones or phones without stock ROM's.

Samsung Market update

I only noticed this evening and have not seen it mentioned here (I may have missed it) but Samsung Market has just updated to 2.0.5. There are a few nice new apps there as well inc. a dragon riding game.
Updated mine to 2.5.034 about a week ago.
Why does it have a different build number in settings/applications to the one in the about screen of the app itself? Mine is as yours. 2.5.034
Did anyone lose his or her credit card information for google checkout after the new version change?
Regards.

Comment Print For Android 1.6 and higher, the Android Market application automatically updates itself when new versions become available. This is a silent update which means you will not see a notification and will not be prompted to update. Perform the following to ensure the latest version of Android Market is updated properly:
Android 1.6 - 2.3
1.Launch Android Market
2.Switch to the Home screen
3.Wait 5-10 minutes for Market to self-update
4.Re-launch Market
Android 3.0
1.Launch Android Market
2.Touch My apps in the top right corner
3.Switch to the Home screen
4.Wait 5-10 minutes for MyApps to self-update
5.Re-launch Market
To check the version of Android Market:
1.Press Home, press Menu, and touch Settings
2.Touch Applications
3.Touch Manage applications
4.Touch the All tab (Android 2.2 or higher), or press Menu, touch Filter, and touch All (Android 2.1 or lower)
5.Scroll down and select Market
The version number appears below the Market title.
To check the version of MyApps:
Repeat the steps above, but select MyApps instead of Market. The version number appears below the MyApps title.
To update market, clear data for it and relaunch market, easy and works!
My Samsung Market just updated itself to 2.5.039 which sounds even newer!
I don't see the game you mentioned though.
I also had a question... A few months back, I'm sure there was a photo editor app on the Samsung Market, but I don't see it anymore. I'm sure I tried installing it, and it failed, and now it is gone. I did successfully get the video editor at the same time, and still have it installed and working, but that is also missing from the Samsung Market list now. Am I right, was there ever a photo editor in there? Does anyone else still see it? Had anyone got it installed on their device? Is it any good?
The other Samsung Market oddity I have is that, the Samsung Market icon tells me there is 1 new update (as does the text in the list inside the app), yet there is no updates listed when you get in there. There used to be two listed in both those places, but only 1 update there, which I installed... leaving me with a mysterious invisible update supposedly available. I wonder if all of these problems (including the game you have that I don't don't see) are regional ones caused by my move from uk to nz and therefore changing sim card. I used to be on uk voda, and now on payg 2deg in nz.
I might try my uk sim card to see if it offers me anything different.
Any thoughts?

If you have CWM try clearing dalvik cache from advanced and regular cache.
Your device thinks you have that photoeditor, which offers update, which you can't see in the samsung apps as it failed at installing, this is just my thought which came first in my mind.
Also sim card shouldn't be affected to what your samsung apps offers, only the CSC should.

Still don't work for me :-( Tried to clear cache just say accept terms and conditions and I click accept and still on version 2.3.6
Any implications from clearing dalvik? Any chance of data loss or problems afterwards? Never done it before, so want to check before jumping in.

Actually any problems afterwards is smaller chance to come if you clear dalvik cache twice in a month and when flashing a theme or any other cwm package. Only thing is longer first boot, since it will rebuild dalvik cache from scratch with your new settings and apps. And there is no chance to lose data.

Android Market Error Message - "Your Device Is Not Compatible"

I've been struggling with this issue today, and just found the "solution" so I wanted to post it here in case anyone else has this problem.
Cause:
No Apps in the Market were updating, including stock Google Apps (including Google Maps!)
Every App - Including Ones that were installed on my phone would get a "your device is not compatible" error message.
Solution:
Change the Density size back to stock 240. Clear the data of the Android Market, and then everything should be running again.
Final Comments:
This was driving me nuts because I've had my density size at 260 since day one with my Atrix, and now this has become an issue "when it was never an issue before". Anywhoo... I updated all my apps, and then changed my Density back to 260 because I hate small icons/fonts.
Like I said this is a new issue that's never happened to me before, and possibly other Atrix owners may have the same issue, so hopefully this writeup may help somebody else out...
I think I remember encountering this issue before and got frustrated and just started everything over. Ill keep this in mind for future reference though, thanks!

NP... Believe me I've tried EVERY solution that I could think of over the past 2 weeks on and off. When I finally figured it out and got things working, I dropped everything that I had going on and wrote that up.

A similar issue happened to me. A month ago i bought SimCity Deluxe, then i change my Rom and the Android Market said to me that this game was not compatible with my phone. The problem is that now it is not compatible with every Rom I flash, stock also.

having this issue with Block Breaker 3. just wondering if anyone knows how to alter build.prop for Atrix 4G to work around this annoying issue.
EDIT: solved.
edit build.prop (I used Rom Toolbox Pro), change the following (and ONLY the following):
ro.product.model=Nexus S
ro.product.brand=Samsung
however. once I got my game(s) working, I realized WHY my device isn't compatible: the display size (resolution) is too big. d'oh!

While 240 is a standard density, the Atrix screen is actually 275ppi. The moar you know.
thank you for the solution, i run into this exact issue time to time when i switch to a different ROM. I had this recently on the new Neutrino ROM with Instagram, but if i logged into google play through the web on pc, i could install Instagram with no issues. Only on the phone in the google play store it would tell me my device isn't compatible but it would still install if i did it through the google play website.
This is actually an issue that HP Touchpad users have been trying to figure out. Basically, the Android Market only likes specific DPIs to make things easier on app developers. So if its not 120, 160, 240 or 320 things break. IMO its stupid since good coding practices should allow an app to cleanly scale, but Google apparently feels otherwise.
It is possible to patch the market to work on other densities, but I've had no luck finding a patched version of the most current market.
I had hoped this was my problem, but alas didn't work. This worked for Navigon update, but for google maps it says my device isn't compatible, which of course it is. It actually doesn't even see that I've got Maps installed anymore.

I had that issue happen to me when I updated to 3.5.15. What I ended having to do was first uninstall all market updates. Then I replace vending.apk in the system/app directory with an older version and set the permissions to rwer--r-- (normally it would be rw-r--r--, but it wouldn't work for me). After that reboot the phone. Then go back to the vending.apk you placed in the system/app directory and change the permissions back to the way they were before you changed them. Next you should be able to launch the market and it should update to the play store after a few minutes. All my google apps were recognized again.
Fix
1. Go into Settings, Apps, All
2. Find Google Play - Clear Data
3. Find Google Services Framework - Clear Data
Should be OK now
If not, Install Market Enabler, redo above - then fake USA market once and should be OK.
