Stock android marketplace errors? - Streak 5 General

Hey people, As of today for some odd reason when I download an app from the marketplace it will only download and wont install.
I've tried several times with downloading a new app or updating an app and it will only download and wont install.
What is this problem all about? any ideas?

*Warning* New Market(Tmo) Is being pushed OTA

The new market will give FC's and stop you from DL'ing apps from the market. The new market from T-Mo has a new tab and isnt compat with any custom rom using test keys.
Care to cite a source for us?
Edit:
As of the... shoot what is it? The second newest CM (The other one seems to have a bad zip file uploaded D: as 3 downloads of the file with identical sizes, none of them are valid/complete) I can still download, update, and run apps from the marketplace. :3 (1:25 AM PST 12/6/09)
this sucks but i dont think it would affect the canadian users.
Had no problem downloading anything on my phone. The only inconvenience really was that it removed the custom Market Icon as well as the Downloads tab and replaced it with a T-Mobile tab. There was another small nuisance where old app that I have backed up and had installed using an app manager are now showing up as having an update available (I have them backed up and install them manually because updates have crippled the app, so I obviously don't want the update).
There is a very simple way to revert back to the old market. Menu>Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>Market>Uninstall Updates.
Note, your old apps will still show up as having updates available, if you have installed backups from your sd card. Uninstalling, rebooting, and reinstalling did not work for me.
I have g1 with cyanogen 4.2.8 and run partioned sd card for my apps. I just went to the market after reading this and had 5 updated apps. updated and installed all with no problems.
Will have to admit that I am not clear what the orginial post was about or what he is actually trying to say. My understanding is that tmobile is trying to go after the rooted phones out there?

Nope... I'm on Dwang's v1.13 and got the update. No issues with downloading apps. T-mobile isn't trying to mess with rooted phones...just pushing T-mo specific stuff to our phones to "add value" to our Market experiences. I think Verizon does similar stuff on the Eris and Droid.
I am unable to install after the update, it will download, then force close upon installation attempt. I have to remove the update (setting, manage applications) each time I want to download from the market. Yes, it keeps updating on its own after each uninstall.
Nope, T-Mobile is not going after rooted phones. The new market update allows you to get paid apps and have them billed to your phone bill, rather then using Google Check Out. I think Sprint and Verizon are doing the same thing as well, but T-Mobile was the first to implement.

Since uninstalling the update using the method I posted, the Market update has not been reappied by T-Mobile. I think you might have other problems.

I don't think Mlign's Hero rom will get it since it's a 1.5 firmware... but I may be wrong.
I'm saying that because I haven't had a map update yet with the nav option.
I've had Market 1660 since it leaked about a week ago.
The only new tab that I notice is the one that says T-Mobile where it used to say Downloads.
Those that are gettinc FC's should try to get a logcat and maybe try clearing their cache. If that doesn't work then do a backup using nandroid then try pulling the /system/app/Vending.apk file, resign it and then push it back and see if it works then. That may be the reseason why mine works and none of yours do because I've included the newer version in my CHM Theme. However I don't have the alternate form of payment (onto the T-Mobile bill) as of yet. I just bought something domestic ($.99) and the only option that I had through Google Checkout was credit card. Those that have the new market (1660)... do you have any other payment options?

I'm wondering if it's something that T-Mobile has to activate themselves?
And I don't think that CM is going to do anything because of the C&D that he recieved after he released the 1.6 Market prematurely onto 1.5 devices.

probably though i dont know why theyre being so quiet about it, i would think if it comes to messing with your money they would at least make sure everyone knows so they dont accidentally do buy something then see it on there bill(it could happen! lol)
and i was hoping maybe cm would suggest like a work around or a solution. well, i dont really need the new market.. dont like the new category(there suggestions suck) and i actually like the google checkout! do you think there are any side effects from uninstalling the new market?

the only side effects that i could imagine is that t-mobile might try to push it back to you.
dude! i totally forgot, its gotta be metamorph. because i remember my market worked and all, then right before going to bed i messed with a bunch of metamorph mods(not themes) and then today i try the market and boom doesnt work..
EDIT:
Screw it. I just uninstalled it.

you wouldn't have done a nandroid backup pre-morph, did you?
If so then restore and see if the market updates later.

Can't download apps from the Marketplace

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.

New Market on N1 2.2.1?

Hey guys
How does a market update work?
I mean, how do you get it... OTA? Open Market? Clear Market Data/Cache?
my friend is right next to me and he has the same exact phone (N1 2.2.1 on Fido) but the only difference is I rooted mine (rageagainstthecage) ... both have stock ROM
Well his market somehow updated itself this morning.... anything special I gotta do?
It just does it itself when it feels like it, seems to happen when downloading something from the Market. or you can just search for and download the new .apk, v2.2.7 is the latest.

Rusty, do you have to do a special procedure to install it or clearing cache/dalvik cache and replacing the apk in /system/app does the job?
Cause I installed 2.2.7 yesterday on latest CM nightly by doing what I said. It worked perfectly the first time, I could go in My Apps and browse everything smoothly. But, as soon as I installed an app, just when it finished installing, it crashed and I could never boot the market again. Although, the app itself installed fine =\
Just install it like any other app. It will work in /system/app or /data/app (where it would normally be if stock).

Really odd that mine crashes, it would NOT install normally, it gave me "Installation failed" error.
Perhaps you could point me to the exact file you used?
Thanks for the help!
Er... I used 2.2.6 and it's now auto updated to 2.2.7, I think I used this one: http://www.mediafire.com/?ilv5hshq0lgunnr

Thanks a lot mate, I'll check that one out and report back!
thanks guys, I picked up 2.2.6 and it installed just fine - I guess 2.2.7 will be updated somehow...
Also, aren't there supposed to be 5 sections in the market now? (wallpapers / widgets sections?)
They've mentioned it, but doesn't seem to be implemented yet.

They're in the 2.2.7 market that came out last week. Looking at them on my phone right now.
Maybe it's another US only thing for now or something, I've still only got "Apps", "Games" and "My apps" showing up.
Reporting back: Still doesn't work.
This really sucks, I can't understand why it would work on some people's phones by getting updated automatically and not on mine by updating manually... >_>

That's all you're supposed to have.
ahhh when they said "adding 2 categories" I thought they meant Games - Apps - Wallpapers - Widgets - My Apps
Live Wallpapers and Widgets are both found under "Apps" ... they meant THAT category...
Ah right, I just assumed it'd become a carousel with them all. Whoops.
Is anyone else finding the new market a bit slow and buggy? Even on Wifi I tend to get the loading screen quite often. Also I've been having server errors for last two days whenever I try to go to "my apps" (my downloads).
New market suddenly appeared magically on mine 2 days ago n i didn't do anything...it was just there.....n im in Brunei...

Can anyone actually download from the Market website?

Nothing is downloading. All I get is "This app will be downloaded to your device shortly."
I'm using Market 2.27.

Same here too. I'm wondering if it's related to being rooted. Total speculation, but a lot of the posters on the Google forum posting do mention custom ROMs.

Is anyone 100% stock, never rooted, and having this problem? And is anyone rooted not having this problem?
The wife is using Fresh Rom on her Hero and it works perfectly...
I am rooted running MIUI and my download started within 5 seconds of clicking install in the browser.
I hadnt even thought of using this yet. Logged in, picked a random app, and it downloaded to my phone instantly on CM7.
No issues here. Running CM7#24 and market 2.2.11
Edit: awe crap, you said market website. Sorry. I was talking about market app. Still haven't tried the market website.

What kernel are you running? Any themes or anything else that could change something? Also what build are you using? When was the last time you flashed a Rom? What did you have for breakfast?
Sorry for the 10 million questions, but it would be cool if we could narrow down whats causing it.
I have the terrible "no device is associated" error
Was unable to download from the website with CM6 and market 2.2.7. Installed a market 2.2.11 zip...voila problem solved.
Using an unrroted Evo the downloads start almost instantly. It might be related to being rooted though...
The website worked for me on Myn's but not on CM7 nightly 23
Just tried and the market began downloading immediately.
Miui with stock kernel. Hw003.

I have had this problem come up a few times and it seems to me there is something getting stuck, however once I turn on WIFI the programs stated downloading instantly, then after that it seems to come unstuck... I started having this problem when i turned off the Enable aways-on mobile data, to save battery. So I offer this as a solution only becuase it has worked for me... That is download it via Wifi to get it unstuck and then try it via 3G or 4G...
I wiped everything last night (for a few reasons, not just this), and it cleared up the problem for me. I'm still on myn RLS5, as I was before when it wasn't working.
I restored all my apps + data, and a handful of system data (Phone contacts, Browser data, and some other stuff).
One thought I had was that maybe Google Talk data needs to be cleared? I think that's related to how the downloads are pushed to the phone. I didn't try that before I wiped.

Same thing I got when I tried it.
Edit: Interesting. After reading posts above, I installed Google Talk, which I never had before, logged into it, then went to the market website and now it recognizes my phone.
Downloads and installs fine on my mikfroyo Evo.

If your on wifi try turning it off and download through 3g...
I can't believe google took away appbrains ability to do this even though they had it first. Not to mention their UI was much better looking and a lot smoother to use...
That's ridiculous. Easily on par with some of the ways apple has screwed its developers...

Something wrong with my market app? broken? bugged?

Recent I start to notice my market app doesn't seem to be working properly. It search and install app just find, but I notice a lot of common app are no where to be found. At the beginning I thought those apps are just taken off, but now I notice something is not right.
I think this started to happen a couple of months ago. I installed a new market app, and its still the same.
I am currently use the new cyanogenmod 7.0.3
Is anyone experiencing similar problem? Is it a custom Rom issue?
Thanks
