[TUT] Having trouble installing apps? - GT540 Optimus General

Hi
I recently had this problem.
You can download apps from the market eg. XDA app. It would say installing but then would just keep saying the same thing forever? No matter what app, it would just get stuck at installing?
This guide is based on 2.1, 1.6 maybe different!
Well heres a solution:
1. Press the menu button and click settings then go to Applications
2. Touch Manage applications
3. Then look for Market, and touch that.
4. I Uninstalled Update then Clear Cache, then Force Close.
I hope this helps anybody with that problem.
Rate thread, comment usual stuff
Thanks

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.

[Troubleshoot Discussion] all Android Market problems here!

i am coming across from a rooted G1, i had about 160 apps i have managed to get most restored with mybackpro but have had market issues since i first signed in.
Apps when downloading continue to show as downloading even after they are installed, is this just a syncing delay, I know I had this with my G1 at times when switching between roms and it usually fixed it self after a few days.
If this is the case is there anything I can do to try and fix this myself, its very annoying as the whole market is app is slow.
Error opening market.
Hi,
The Internet browser on my Galaxy S I9000 opens all web pages on both, GPRS and WiFi networks. However, the following applications give me errors-
1. Market - "Server unavailable. Please try again later". For both, GPRS and WiFi networks
2. Talk - It simply shuts down without showing any dialog box on both networks.
3. Maps, Gmail, Mail, Samsung Apps - Works only on WiFi and not GPRS
I do not have a 3G network in my region yet.
Since market doesn't open; I can not download anything.
Kindly guide me with this. I am more concerned about [1] and [2].
Thanks !
Existing adroid market app and android 2.2

Market Fix JF2 not working
Hi,
I tried everything, but its not working. I changed the build.prop (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7309462&postcount=162) wiped the cache and app cache, but still not full app catalogue in the market...
Can anyone help me?
A lot of them do, some mess up but devs are usually fast in tweaking the app to work with froyo
Upgraded to JM2 and now certain market apps missing
Hi, i'm pretty sure i'm in the right section, anyway, I upgraded to firmware JM2 and now there seems to be the odd app missing in market, not specifically paid ones.
For example myplayer is not there, is there a fix available for this or has the app just dissapeared(could anyone verify?).
Many Thanks
Replace build.prop with one from an official rom

Market Problems? (13/08/10)

Anyone else experience this or any solutions to fix it?
Market Problem
Hey,
i can find all apps on Market but can't download any of them.
If i press install it says in German: "Download wird gestartet..." means more or less in english:"Download starting..." it gets stuck on this message.
I used JM2 and OneClick LagFix 2.0 market wasn't working. so i decided to reflash and don't use oneclick lagfix, but nothing.
Then i flashed JM5, bit it still doesn't work.
I also tried another googlemail account, but nothing..
Anyone has a idea? I can't even restore my backups, since i can't download titanium backup from market lol.
This has happened to me today too! Maybe it is problems with the market servers.. :/ Now I am stuck without any applications until it is fixed.
I have the exact same problem and i have also tried a factory reset, if i find a solution I will let you know.

Installing the Market??

Basically anyone have any idea how to install the market? I tried installing latest built of the Android Market but it wont launch...
Did you try the normal set of steps to get the Market working? (Part 3 from this post)
Eg. Open Market (fail). Stop Google Services Framework and Market from Settings > Applications > Manage Applications. Clear the cache / data for Google Services Framework and Market. Open the Market and you should receive an error message. Reboot the device and re-open the Market. It should go through this time. Some people then recommend rebooting one more time.
I don't have the Adam in my hands, so I can't test this right now. You can also use Titanium Backup to stop the apps and clear the cache / data which is attached to the bottom of this post.
thanks for the info. i will try to get it installed. but unfortunate i gotta work now. so i wont have an answer until tonight

Doesn't the market have to be put in /system/app? And at that point you need root to install it? I'm not sure if that's correct or not, but that's my understanding.

I'm honestly not sure. I've always done the Market fix from ROMs that had the market pre-packaged, but not working. Unfortunately, I don't have any devices to test... still waiting on my Adam to be shipped (on the 29th). Perhaps someone with more Market fix experience can chime in... or some research on other parts of XDA might be helpful.
It looks like some of the devs (from the G-Tab forums) are already on top of things... check out some of the threads from the Development section. Specifically, in this thread, rothnic has already released an update.zip package that adds root access and the stock Google Apps.
It also looks like Roebeet from the G-tablet section has also installed the NI firmware on his gtablet which means we should expect some benefits to bleed over from the work they do for the G-tablet.

Market Crashing Help pls.

Hello I'm still learning doing this Android on SD on HD2. I'm not too familiar with the computer terms as well. Sorry for that. But my Market keeps updating to this new market 3. something and it crashes when I boot market up. Or if it actually stays open long enough alot of the apps says not compatible with my Phone. I have searched the forums and read about people doing some APK and deleting the auto update. I'm not quite sure that that means or how to do it. Is there anyone that can explain?? Greatly appreciated.
I am using the AmeriCan Android on my HD2 from the SD card method.
Thanks
Mike.
go into settings - application - manage and find the market app entry, click that, then clear cache, and at the top, uninstall updates.
Now, i cant remember how to stop it updating itself, but if uninstalling eth update works, you are on the right track.
I have tried uninstalling a few times, but it keeps updating it self and then crashing. I'm not sure what to do.
now it's work but it appear the lower version of Android Market.
later update itself and crash again ....
help !!!
You may want to booting into recovery, advanced "Fix Permissions" this has been known to solve issues with the market
Hey Michidj00 could you explain how to do that??
Thanks!

My Apps is empty in Market

Hi All,

Clear cache foreclose and reboot is not working
Market dokter Titanium does not work

Did a full wipe and reinstalled ARHD 6.3.2 then restoren my apps by Titanium
A see all the Apps in my Apps, but again later on... everything is empty
Somebody have same issues?
Cheers,
Peter
If you find an app you have purchased before, does it allow you to install it? Or does it say its "incompatible" with your device?
It is allowed to download it and install it. And i have no new phone... so maybe my account is corrupt at Google side?
Try the following, if you have superuser permissions.
In the file /system/build.prop find the line starting with ru.build.fingerprint, and replace symbols JFM to JJ7
If this not works, in the same file find the option ro.sf.lcd_density=167 and change 167 to 160. You may set another value, eg. 240.
After saving the changes you should reboot.

Care to elaborate? Or do I need to remove your post?
My ro.build.fingerprint is like:
ro.build.fingerprint=htc_wwe/htc_ace/ace:2.3.5/GRJ90/$:user/release-keys
Do i replace GRJ90 then?
ro.sf.lcd_density=240 this is my line
Have change this things but did not work.
clear cache did also not work again...

Better first try to change LCD density to 160. I'm not sure about fingerprint in non-Russian roms
Btw, are the permissions for build.prop set correctly after making changes?

Try everything nothing helped...
I use a build.prop editor this saves the file and correct the permissions.
Even uninstalled the market update did not work
IT is working again:
unimstalled the update of market
Clean data from google services framework.
Then force close
Clean data of market
Then force close
Reboot
Now it seems to work....
After update of market app the problem is back. Now i try the same steps as above...
After the steps above without remove market update i got my list back...
But after a change from portrait to landscape the list is gone again....
Seems like Google developers "fixed" something again. Try to ask their support

I discover it was a App problem. When i did a full restore of Titanium the problem was there... When i did every time 5 apps restore i use for long time the problem was gone...
I do not know that app gives this error.. because i delete all other apps what i think it was the problem and even do not use them anymore as well..
It is a update of something .. so my problem is solved.
Also, Market Fixer can help to solve the problem. Root required!
Market fixer did not work... have try that already.. but it is solved now...
Official fix for me...
Requirements:
Market Fixer app installed
Faith and patience
Intructions:
1) go to manage applications in your settings, tap view all and force close "Market" (don't delete any data)
2) while still there, also delete "Google Services Framework"'s data and force close it
3) run "Market Fixer", tap analyse market links, select all of them and tap remove market links ONLY
4) go to "My Apps" inside Android Market and make sure there's a Retry button on the screen telling you it couldn't communicate with the server, if there isn't, repeat step 2 and re-check
5) re-run "Market Fixer" to be sure the links didn't get recreated, and if none appear, reboot
6) go to "My Apps" as soon as you boot completely
7) if previously bought apps appear on the list, go to the free apps category and install a new one (this will recreate your market's database with working information)
8) check "My Apps" one last time, all apps should be there now
9) if you want, reboot once more and go to "My Apps" again to make sure everything's in working order with your "My Apps" list
10) dance the macarena, shoot a few hoops or just enjoy your victory like i did
11) make sure you don't re-link those evil apps to your market so you don't have to redo all of this
***As you could've noticed, the idea behind the first five steps is to keep the market from recreating the links or having to clear the data for Google Services Framework many times (both happen when the market's still running in background).***
