Problem solved - Epic 4G General

I'm really tired of this phone. This is the 5th app my phone refuses to install for no reason.
Right now I'm trying to install Evac HD... the latest from Hexage. After downloading, it say "installation unsuccessful." My fiance's evo downloads and installs the game just fine.
Wtf is going on? Why does this only happen on my Epic?
PS: I have 98 MB free.....

clear market cache, end the gtalk service then reopen gtalk and see if that helps, also try rebooting the phone.
and it doesn't "only" happen on the epic, I had this problem repeatedly with my Hero and my Moment.

Didn't work. Cleared market cache. Force stopped Gtalk service. Reopened it. Tried to install.... installation unsuccessful.
As per someone elses suggestion I shut down my phone, removed the SD card, rebooted the phone, tried to install.... installation unsuccessful.
I can't believe Android is STILL in beta....

The Market was having issues today. This has happened before to me only once. Just wait a day and try again.

Obviously your particular phone isn't acting normally. I have never been denied the installing of an app. Don't blame your phone issues on android as a whole. It may be some sort of android issue, or it could be something you have done to your phone.

Pandora broken for android vogue?

I've been happily using pandora on android on my vogue since the day it was released for android, but yesterday I got a notice that there was an update available. I foolishly did the update, and now pandora is absolutely disfunctional (launching it results in force close message). Is everybody else getting the same thing? And does anyone have an old version of the pandora install ferretted away somewhere?
Try
settings/Applications/Manage Applications/Pandora/Uninstall
then reinstall it from the market.
Good luck
Best Regards,
Justin
after a complicated sequence of reboots, uninstalls, and reinstalls that I could never duplicate, I have it kinda working - it still force closes more than it works But at least if I'm persistant I can get it going. I'd still advise avoiding updating if you've got the old version; it wasn't perfect, but it worked much better than this.

market is slow

is it just me or is the market running very slow in froyo?
This message was deleted by its author
any ideas why?
Check your logs, it's the usual socket timeout issues, like when you switch for a new Android phone... it should disappear very soon (I had it for an hour earlier)
it was working for me, but now things are downloading and not installing... they just sit there at 100%...
I can't say I notice Market being slow but this is really pissing me off... I bought bTunes and a couple other apps and Market has them marked as Buy as if I don't own them.
WTF.
I'm getting that too, bTunes says Buy, but a lot of other protected apps just don't show up! Is this happening for everyone?

Good call... MLB At Bat is MIA. Hopefully this is a quick fix for the Market crew. I think I should shoot them an email to make them aware.
Protected apps like m bank´s are disent from this version of the Marquet...
That´s my only problem with this awesome 2.2 update.
At a guess most of them are probably to do with the new apps2SD, no doubt when devs start updating them with the new move to SD tags we still start seeing them again
Going to give it a few days before I complain about not having some paid apps (bTunes) though, hopefully thats an easy fix!
really slow
I also see the market is really really slow, I wonder if 2.2 is going somewhere else for data and that source was not ready for everyone to jump on the unconventional means of getting 2.2 up; also, some apps I had are not available and do not come up in searching the market.
Edit: Almost uncanny, but after pressing submit post, both problems disappeared and the market is now the fastest I have ever experienced. Installing and browsing at super speed. No reboot, or anything and my market is normal. Hope it works itself for others so fast
same here some apps arnt there anymore. it happened when the desire came out, protected apps wouldnt show. am sure they had to do an update on the phone to get it working.
i had same problem when start it for the 1st time after flashing yesterday, problem went away after a couple of reboot, now everything is incredibly fast.
Slow!? Lol you must be kidding me.... i have been using Cyanogenmod 5.0.6 for quite awhile and i had to wait, hang on... 5 minutes everytime downloading 1 app.
Here on Froyo, its just instant!
Froyo FTW.
I'ts a common issue it will fix himself (don't ask me how). I had this problem to and one day it fixed itself. This was also with 2.1.
This problems starts when you make a fresh start. There was a silent update for the market and if you have this update market is working fast enough else you have to be patient and wait till you get the update (again).
If you didn't make a fresh start and updated you won't be seeing this slowness of the market.

Problems Downloading from Market with Epic 4G

I bought my wife a new Epic 4G and she has been having problems downloading from the Marketplace. It seems to be a 3G,4G problem. Even Wifi doesn't start right away, yet does seem faster starting than 3g/4g. It does finally work after about 10 minutes. I know it is a phone problem, not a 3G/4g or Wifi problem, because I have an EVO, and at the same time downloading from the market with the EPIC, the EVO has no problems at all. I do notice once it has downloaded the first item, it seems fine for the rest of the day. The 3g was active before my wife went to the Market to download stuff. She had already received her email, so the connection was there.
Is anyone else having problems downloading from the Marketplace on 3G/4G or even wifi? If so, how do I fix the problem. I do have the latest update installed and it still didn't fix the problem.
The Epic seems to have some issue with logging into Gtalk randomly. I have experienced downloads that wouldn't start myself. Simply opening gtalk will log you in (most of the time) and the download will start almost instantly.

Missing Apps
Same issue here. Many Paid and free apps are missing. Bad deal since I need the phone for work and now I can't get my TouchDown Exchange Client working because it lost the key I paid for on the Market

For me it is not the issue where the download fails to start (though I have seen that too). This issue is that the apps are "not found" on the market place.
NOTE: I can see the apps from my EVO just fine, just not on the EPIC.
Evo is on froyo isn't it? Mabye they are protected apps and won't been seen unless you are running a phone with Froyo. Unless google hasnt registered I18 as a approved build yet.

Interesting... I notice that if I install(ed) a ROM (in this case Epic_Experience_v1.1.3) the apps are missing.
If I wipe the phone and restore a nandroid from a few days ago the apps show up.
Not sure what that means, but at least I can get back to using my email. Still learning all this ROM, Root, Kernel stuff.

I concur with these findings. I'm running Epic Experience 1.1.3 and if I search Market I can _not_ see such popular FREE apps such as Fandango, Where and Google Places Directory.
No idea why..
Chris R.
There have been several threads about this issue. Google has to take action in the Market to recognize the DI18 firmware as legitimate. (Perhaps Sprint has to take action to goose Google into taking action.)
This same problem occurred for several days after the last update.
See this post earlier at xda.
yeah this is pissing me off considering it all worked just a day ago...
I had my Epic rooted ever since I got it....the last few days it got sluggish and got bricked. I got it back to stock tonight and I can't upload apps either. I'm on the version ending in "7" when I went back to stock...if anyone can offer tips that is reading this would be greatly appreciated!!!
im getting annoyed by this GTalk sign in issue... not only I use gtalk alot but also market won't work without it.
I noticed I get signed off and loose connection almost every time I make/receive a call. Or sometimes just randomly.
Hey have you tried this?? I just did this below....
****UPDATE 4 hours later*******
so after screwing with everything I could possibly (clearing cache, resetting phone, rebooting countless times, etc) I logged out then back in to TALK using my gmail account and VOILA! everything downloaded.

Anyone have the new Android Market APK?

I recently reset my phone back to stock and for some reason the Market isn't updating by itself.
it's a problem EVERYONE is having right now, if u can connect to wifi it works, some say opening gtalk helps too
edit: apparently now my gtalk can't login now either fawkkkkk
my market actually never updated on its own. im still stuck on the old version. Any reason as to why this is?
well we're talking about manuall updating actually
Would the Google Apps zip for CyanogenMod 6 or 5 work? Assuming is has the latest of everything that is.

He said it isn't updating itself.
Weeks back it was randomly updating itself on different phones. Mine never updated.
+1 on the !update. Never got it. Ever. Did manual update, phone eventually b0rked, did a hard reset, still haven't gotten it. My mother's Transform got it within minutes of coming out of the box. (Actually, after installing a GMaps update.)
here it is
The Android Vending
omg, dude, this is awesome, it worked, is there a newer version?
is this working on HTC hd2 custom android version ?

Market - My Downloads - Server Error

Let me start at the beginning. Whenever it was the new market was available, I installed it manually (2.2.6?)
It autoupdated itself to 2.2.7 no problems.
Yesterday when I hit Downloads it came back with a server error. Today, when I look through apps, I see they don't even show as installed.
I've cleared cache, cleared data (of Market, Market updater and Download manager) and even uninstalled updates, but nothing helps.
Any ideas?
i'm having the same problem
Having the same issue too here. I thought it might be an issue with marketenabler but seeing that you live in the UK Andy, it cant be marketenabler.
edit: actually im using marketaccess, buts thats irrelevant.
Same issue here, suddenly.
works now!
Same here, tried again like 20 min ago, appears to be fine.
Must have just been a google related issue after all. Good thing I didnt try to reflash to fix it.
