Android Market Force Closes

I'm having a problem downloading and updating apps from the Android Market. As soon as the download is complete and the phone tries to install the Android Market force closes. Is anyone else having this problem? Does anyone know how to fix it? My N1 is rooted and running CM 5.0.6.

Go to settings>applications>manage applications>market then clear cache and uninstall updates.
Come back to home screen then go into market, accept the T&C's and download your stuff.

Thanks man it worked. The only thing is that I have to do it every so often. It also takes a lomg time for anything to show up (i.e. searches, downloads, and just browsing)

Thanks
Worked for me too

Thanko you!
Finaly!

I didn't need to uninstall updates. I fixed this by just clearing the data in the application. But yes, if an application hangs at install it seems to screw up the Market app.

Mhhh. Yesterday had an app (Volume) that was stuck on installing an app ... for hours.

Thanks! Fixed my issue.

Thanks, worked great

Am I missing something? When I goto settings>applications>manage applications>market I can clear data and clear cache but I can't uninstall anything.
I cleared both the cache and data but once I except the terms of service it FC again. And I still have the issue with FC after every install or uninstall.

Anyone care to chime in here? I'm still having issues with the market crashing even after clearing data and cache.
Also I notice the market will crash after I set my USB connection type to data (connect to the computer).

WTF!? i have tried partitioning/formating the sd card and reinstalling cm6.1.1 and everytime i login to my google account and go to the market IT ALWAYS CRASHES! i dont have anything but 2 purchased apps that are not installed. clearing data and such does not help. even tried to reinstall cm6.1.1 with and without hdpa gapps but the problem is still there. i have flashed roms countless times and this is a first. makes me want to get a blackberry now.

Worked, but now I have the old version. Does it upgrade itself?

I've installed new rom and when market updates it crashes. I did wipe chace, unistal update and yes it works. I get back my old market. But after few minutes it updates itself to new one and I'm back at the begining.

Where is your Market update installing to - /data or /system?

Sorry but I'm new here. How can I see where updates are? Do I need to go to recovery and find market folder somewhere in -data or -system?

You can use a file browser and look in /system/app and /data/app to see if the Market is there - however, a better option is to use Titanium and use the batch options to "Integrate updates of system apps in ROM".
Once the Market is back in the /system it should behave a lot better...

-data/app folder is empty. I found Marketupdater.apk in -system/app. I'll try this Titanium and report back how are things.

Ok I've fixed it. You just need to select english language in settings and it dosn't crashes anymore.
PS: Sorry for bad english.

This is the solution for most market FC issues. Someone should pin this.

tv.com

ok i have a question for yall, as ya know the market is now also web baised. well when i upgraded my vibrant to froyo i had to do a factory reset, thus loosing everything to the "black screen of death." anyhoo one of the programs i had was tv.com and i tried to find it in the market place and i was unable to locate it. (now mind yall i had it installed before and it was fine) anyways............ when marketplace went web i was able to find it but it had stated that the app was incompatible(sp?) with my phone. my wife has a moto defy and i used her market place and it showed up on her market place but not on my phone. also on the webmarket place on with her log in it was there but not the maker of her phone....... any ideas??? or does anyone have the .apk for it?

If you're rooted and have titanium back up, there an option there "market doctor" to fix market to show all apps. That happens sometimes when you do an update, where the market doesn't recognize the phone. Also if you have access to recovery you can delete dalvik cache and that should do it.
Oh yeah you can delete dalvik cache with titanium back up also.

Google Maps Cache

Is there a way I can backup/restore Google Map's cache ? Where is the cache located? Is there a maximum size limit on the cache?
Also is there a software that will allow me to build cache of specified areas then just transfer it over to my Android phone?

If u search Google for offline maps Apperntly Google will be releasing an update sometime in the near future that allows us to store maps so we can use navigation without having a data connection

That will be a great feature. Many applications like ovi maps already had this feature, but especially for a vacation in another country it will be nice to have.
But wasn't the cache also some sort of 'offline' mode.

the cache can be found on your sd card:
Android/data/com.google.android.apps.maps

I tried backing up up the cache prior to doing a factory reset. Then when I restore the cache data and fix the permissions, it works. However, after resetting the phone or something, the cache automatically get deleted.

BUMP.....
does titanium backup work

You can find Google map cache in sd card as per this path:- Android/data/com.google.android.apps.maps
take the backup of this folder " com.google.android.apps.maps " google map saving map cache file in that folder

The ROM type is SD, not NAND.

i had the same problem. you have to move what ever apps you have stored on the "phone" to the sd card. then you'll be able to download new apps and place them back on the phone ie pandora...

i got the same problem this wil work for you.
go to ----> settings-applications-manage applications-all
google backup transport clear data
google partner setup clear data
google services framework clear data
market clear cache
than reboot

I have tried this and still have the same problem. I have encountered this same error for different SD ROMs like AmeriCanAndroid and RAFDROID HD. I have even flashed my stock ROM to Energy. My radio is 2.15.50.14. Any more tips? I will try the MUIU if I can't it fixed i guess.

I tried doing this, but it gave an error message. It said, "Failed to move application. System updates cannot be installed on external media."

will try these settings as my market plays trix on me.....

[Q] Apps stop installing?

I notice this happens alot of custom roms other than stock deodexed roms.
I started reinstalling my apps one by one because TB was only resintalling half my apps. So after reinstalling about 30 or so apps, the market stops installing apps for me. I'm currently running "WORKING NETFLIX! NEW! [AllianceROM][r7.2] HybriD 3D[Sense 2.1 OTA][Themed]"but this has happened on Calkuns roms too. Its even happening with updates to apps that are already installed. So I uninstalled the apps and tried installing them as fresh apps and that still doesn't work.
Any ideas?

Clear your market data and cache. For whatever reason when you install a bunch of apps from the market at the same time this happens.

If the above doesn't work you may have to wipe your .android_secure folder on your SD card as well.

How do I clear the market cache?

I had to clear android secure in order for this to work.

Future reference, to clear the data and cache of any app, go into settings>applications>manage applications>app your trying to clear data for.
