Market apps not installing

I had two updatede apps today. They downloaded fine but won't install. Don't know if it's a Market issue or something with my device. Any ideas?

Ok. New apps will download and install but still have the issue with updating apps.

Usually an uninstall and then reinstall fixes apps that don't update.

Tried that. Also cleared Market cache and data. Done several reboots.

Read in another thread that it could be an issue with Google servers. Has anyone heard anything?

It is a google problem, the same thing is happening on the hero Just wait for them to fix is probably the only thing we can do right now

Same thing has been happening to me. I have just been clicking the update and then immediately clicking on the name of the app I just downloaded and watching the download and install meter and it works for me everytime.

The issue was with apps on the memory card. Had to move them to phone memory, update, then move them back to the card. Annoying.

Moving apps back and forth isn't working today for updates.

Could Google have made changes to the Market ahead of Gingerbread?

Possible, maybe why they're having market issues

Not sure it's the Market now. Since I couldn't get Angry Birds to updated I tried getting it at GetJar. That wouldn't install either.

Ok. Completely lost. ROM Manager successfully updated but Angry Birds still won't.

I'm having almost the same issues. It started yesterday when I accidentally unistalled the wrong app. When I went on to market to re-download it and found it sat in the ongoing downloads going nowhere along with several others. I cancelled them and started them again one by one. They all downloaded and then failed to install. After that they all appeared in the downloads list but say "FREE" next to them instead of "Installed".
I know that, apart form the first app, all of them are definitely installed. Rebooting the phone made no difference. I also removed the memory card to see if that helped. At that point I managed to install the first app.
I put the SD card back in and the problem returned. Most of the apps I have installed on the SD card only appear in my downloads list intermitently, and I still can't install or update anything from the market with the SD card in the phone. I also am having issues re-installing backups and non-market apk's.
Have I done anything to the phone to make it do this or is this a Google issue? I'm using a rooted T-Mobile UK desire on stock 2.2 with ModInstallLocation set to external.
Thanks for any help or advice.

I also get Free instead of Installed.

And now new apps won't install.

Ok. Was able to update apps and install one new app. Still can't get other apps to install. At this point I'm open to crazy possibilities.

It's still the server issues, until Anroid 2.3 is out this will probably be a problem

I hope I don't have to wait for 2.3 given how long it takes Verizon to release an update.

Anybody having issues downloading from the Market? (EDIT:Maybe due to Gingerbread)

I have been trying for the past 30 minutes or so but I can't seem to download or update from the market. When I click install, it takes me back to the main menu and just stops. Anyone else have this?

Working now. Anyone else still having problems?

Yes, on all ROMs. Seems it's having problems tonight.

It does not appear that restarting helps either. Nor does clearing the cache.
Perhaps the system went down or is updating on Google's end. Are other phones having issues?

Now that you mention it..
yah I just tried adfree and it won't download.
It didn't kick me back to the main, but it acted like it wanted to start for a split second then it just went away.

We can't even install updates.
Check this out:
http://www.androidcentral.com/late-night-market-woes-youre-not-alone
AndroidCentral thinks that it is related to the Gingerbread updates.

I just downloaded an update to Handcent, so mine is working just fine, but yeah, I saw that story on Android Central too. Seems you're not alone.

I dont have a link handy but what I did was just google "Facebook 1.5.2 apk" and downloaded from a file site. Probably not the safest thing ever, but I trust my e-instincts
1.5.3 is borked, so dont update it unless it's 1.5.4 (and the issues are fixed)

there you go. it should just install. i pulled it from my data/app folder. you will have to uninstall the update and the try to install. if it dont work then you will have to push it to the folder with adb or if you wait i can make a zip when im off work.

According to the market reviews, the latest version has been strange.

Facebook Crash

Hi there
I am using CM7 ... I recently found that facebook crashes when I press "Friends" or "Messages" ...
Please help

I too found this so I use Facebook flow found in the market only thing you can't do is chat hope this helps
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App

i found this problem also while using "place" and "groups"

I really can't stand the Facebook app. Every single time they change anything something else in the app is being f*cked up. Are you sure it's just because of the ROM you're using?

It's fixed in the FB update, that came out this morning.

Contacts force closing

Im having a serious problem. Anytime I try to add to or create a new contact, it force closes. I can't in any way edit any contact. The process is com.motorola.contacts. I am on stock 2.3 rooted only. I had previously frozen all the social and yahoo authenticators and since had no adverse affects, went ahead and uninstalled them all. However this was about a week ago, but this problem with contacts began this past weekend. Im at a loss. I need to get this working again. Im very uncomfortable with unlocking my bootloader to reflash as I don't understand the terminology you pros use and afraid to ask for fear of being called stupid (again) by some pros. Any help? And please if you feel the need to make me feel like a complete moron, please bite your tongue. Thank you.

what all did you delete???? that could very well be your problem. i know on my galaxy tab 7 i deleted the email app and my cam force closed every time and would not work, put the app back and all was fixed.

Yes, probably your contacts get fc 'cause you deleted the yahoo authentication, and I think the contacts (if some of your contacts have a yahoo account) use this authentication, so if the contact app doesn't find the authentication app this fc.
And probably if you deleted others sys apps linked with the contact app, you'll still having fc.
So, what apps did you delete?
Anyway you can try install the app(s) again with rootexplorer

The apps I deleted were all the authentication ones for facebook twitter and yahoo. However, I don't save any email addresses in my contacts. Only phone numbers. How would I go about finding the backup I have of those apps with tibu thru root explorer?

I suggest to freeze apps and don't uninstall them (unless you are 100% certain it's safe to delete).
I had the same problem as you, but in my case I just had frozen the authentication apps, which after I un-froze them, Contacts worked again.
Maybe a ROM reflash is what you need?

yep i had the same issue i couldnt add any contacts im not 100 but it may have been due. to a app i had installed not sure i do now i reflashed alienv4 and that new 1.4 oc kernal from faux and the other guy and the problem is solved now

I was thinking that too. How do I go about doing that without unlocking my bootloader and voiding my warranty. Im tech savvy, but not enough to be able to hide the unlocked if I need warranty service. Any help is so appreciated.

Most likely its because you installed the leaked Google+ app. Uninstall and your problem is solved.

I had the same problem when I freeze all the authentication apks.
The Solution: Un-frozen them.
If you have uninstalled them, you should get the apks and install them.
P.S. Sorry for my bad english >_>

You can try this 2 ways:
1. With root explorer go to: system/app then look for the apps you deleted, tap and reinstall them.
2. Any way can't reinstall the apps, you may try a factory reset: setting/privacy/factory data reset (using this way all your data will be erased)
