Post within the ROM thread you are running... This is going to be a specific issue with your custom ROM.
I'm running DamageControl v2.07.2
I just tried wiping and flashing and its still won't let me download.
Are you tryin to download something specific? Some apps in the market dont work. Like the htc battery widget and other htc apps.
No these are all apps I've downloaded before with this same ROM. Right now I'm trying for Google Voice
Try going to setting>applications>manage apps find Market.. Click on it.. Clear cache
Nope not working. The strange thing is I had just downloaded and installed Pandora just last night from the market. I'm trying to get it working through my wifi now to see if its a my cell network.
Nope that didn't work lol.
Try settings> wireless & networks> Mobile networks
If its on then turn it off and back on.. If it off, then turn it on
ALSO
setting> about phone> system update.. And update profile

sign into gtalk. i know it sounds weird but it is a fix for downloads stalling or hanging at 0%
I just read some place about the gtalk but i can't get logged into it. Seems to just sit there trying for ever.
Did you update you profile?
Its not your market.. Its your internet, sounds like you cant use anything.
The profile update failed
I can get to webpages and get email and stuff.
Does it say evdo on your taskbar next to your signal bars?
Whats your prl and pri?
PRI Version is flipz_01 and PRL is 60664 and it does say EV
And you have tried wiping factory, dalvik, and ext partition. And then reflashing a clean rom???
Make nandroid backup before, so if it doesnt fix it, you can go back to your current rom.
Also i have read here, someone had to call sprint and have them reset there profile. Or something like that. Since you cant even update your profile in settings.
you would just have to wait till tom during business hours.
yup, i had the same problem, check ur system apps if u have gtalk.apk or gtalkservice or something similiar. If not, you gota somehow put them back on, i just did a reinstall using ur same rom.
I flashed to fresh 1.1 and did a MSL reset but still can't download from the market or connect to gtalk. I also had to drive about 30 miles today to another town and tried while i was there still nothing even did the PRL and Updated Profile.
Paid apps and free apps doing this?
I had a thought but lost it as I was typing the rest of this. Sorry, will post back later if it comes back.
EDIT:
Oh yea!
Try to create a different google account and setup the phone with a whole new GMail account. I know its a hassle, but might work.
I've only tried free apps and pretty much everything under the popular free section.
I'll try the new account and see what happens.
Anyone know what fixes Market apps not downloading very first time you start download?
What i mean is when i first install a rom and try to download an app from market it gets stuck on "downloading" but wont download apps,apps will download eventually but it may take few minutes or few hours to start,and after the first app downloads successfully market functions without problems.
I know there is a trick to make it download quick first time,but i dont know what it is.It used to be clearing market cache or syncing gmail but that doesn't work anymore.There is a few roms that i used that have this problem,gotta be a fix for it.
Wrong forum

Yes wrong forum but you can answer the question (assuming you know if not apologize), but what i do is when i first boot up on a new rom, i open up the market, then it will auto send me to sign in after i sign in and everything syncs up i restart the phone. When the phone boots back up, i open the market let it sit for a little while then go to menu -> downloads, and usually my previously installed apps are listed i try to install one if successful i have no market problems(btw this was all done over wifi).

Yeah tried that already it don't work
You can try signing into google talk, this fixes the initial lag, might fix this too. Sometimes I cancel and restart the download a few times which eventually works

No. This is definitely the wrong sub-forum for this thread. This sub-forum is for ROM/Kernel development.
This belongs in General.
Does this forum have a dedicated Mod? If we do, we need a second.

Hopefully you don't have a lot of important stuff, but wipe your phone completely and reflash the rom you like and try my steps.

No,my market is working fine(i don't mind waiting for first download to go through",i was asking because someone was having this issue on kanged rom that i posted,so i wanted to see if there is quick way to start first download.I will try your method next time i flash and see if it works.
I've had this issue with every rom i've tried, except for the baked snack one, and i've tried just about every rom ;p
The workaround i've found is..turn on wifi.. open up the market place and let the icons show up in your notification bar.. then turn off wifi. Works flawless for me everytime.

Sounds promising ima give it a go next time,thanx.
I usually just sign into google talk and it fixes it.
I put my first app on the market. For some reason, Google Market doesn't let you download your own app. wth?
I'm asking that someone download it (or try to) to make sure it works. There were a few steps to do to get the app ready for the market and I want to make sure I didn't mess anything up (and that people can dl it!)
It's called "Prefix Code Finder" and has a blue telephone icon and the author is "smartapps".
It's listed at $1.00...all I ask is you to dl it for 5 minutes, test it and then you can return it.
And another weird thing happened after I published it; I can no longer get it on my phone. I load it, it says "Success" and I can see it in Manage Applications, but the icon to run is not to be found!! I turned debugging back on, tried to load it by running it from Eclipse and installing with adb. I tired both apk's; the publishable version and the one that I changed the debug to TRUE. WEIRD.
Please don't consider this spam and I really didn't want to post this, but I have no way to check to see if this is working.
Thanks
You are allowed to download your own app, trust me on that one, ive done it many times
Hmmm...I'll try again, but..getting a "Server error has occurred" still
Well, I can't wait. Only thing I can think of was that I imported this project vs. "making it from scratch". I'm just going to make a new app and copy all the files in...something got out of synch somehow...
Well, I redid the ENTIRE project from scratch, exported my apk and installed to market.
I still get a SERVER ERROR...can anyone please try to download this.....just see if you can pull it down, do a search or two and return it.
It's now called "Prefix Finder" has a red phone icon and the author is still "smartapps"
I just really need to narrow down if I'm doing something wrong with the app preparation or if it's Google Market.
Thank you so much
Only thing I can think of is that I don't have my bank account info in there yet; maybe that's causing the error...i just need another "body" to test it LOL

It is moist likely your app there has been a lot of people getting this server error
Edit: I just downloaded app works perfect

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I'll make sure you get a free copy if you want it LOL
What sucks to me is making those images of the app; I'm a programmer, not a graphics artist. And since my data is on a hosted server, I can't get a picture of the output from the emulator. I would have to "hard code" some data in and then do the screen capture.
Oh well, off to get my next app up...similar to this one, but it's a Zip Code Finder.
Then I've got to figure out what to code next...
It be pretty cool if you could put looking for the area codes and zoos by city and state
Sent from my unrEVOked using xda app
So, a reverse lookup? I have considered that.
I'll have to look at the data first. Major cities could have a lot of area codes and prefixes. Not worried about the speed pulling from the hosted database, it's pretty fast; I'm just worried about a crapload of data to scroll through
But hey, thanks, I will probably do it as version 1.1 if I'm not getting 100 areacodes and prefixes for one city.
Yeah, not going to work. I just queried Columbus, OH and got 427 rows back! That would be a lot of scrolling if I did that many lines. I could send it back as "201, 202, 203, 215, 216, 217....", but that just might look ugly LOL
Yeah way top Mick Lol
Sent from my unrEVOked using xda app
Got the other app published...I still don't know why I can't install either of them...freakn' server error.
Don't know if you've tried this. Guessing you probably have, but I had got that error a few times before and I fixed by doing a reboot of the phone. Just an idea.
Didn't think about that...thanks!
I just ended-up running adb install
Well, I'm up and running and making "some" sales.
Moved on to licensing my apps (new and old). Once I get that ironed-out, I can start back with development, because we ALL know that's where the real fun is. LOL
Sucks being a programmer...no problems writing code, just not creative enough to come up with ideas that aren't out there yet...still in search of that "must have" app that sells 50,000 copies (yeah, I know...good luck ROFL)

It will go live very soon. Some can, some can't.
Beautiful though. Good sign of things to come.
Anyone else get "Invalid Request" after trying to sign in? It looks like a site error rather than a browser one. I get the same message from multiple browsers.

i got that from the main page, but then i clicked on an app to dl and it sent me to an actual login page. i didn't login cause i didn't actually want to dl the app, i was just checking, so it might work that way.
This is nice!
good find had no trouble signing in.

Tried again. Working now. Might have been the traffic / popularity of the site.
Not sure if you guys watched the honeycomb announcement, but it was amazing. Made me want a tablet, and donkey punch an ipad user.
Forgive my ignorance, but what is exciting about web access to the market? Is it supposed to be better than our regular market app?
The Hotness! Logged in. See all of my apps. Can download apps from the website will sync immediately into your phone!
Way to step up android!!
You can browse on your computer, then install the apps OTA, so to speak. Easier to link to apps you like, install them without taking the phone out of your pocket, for example, that kind of stuff. It's just more convenient in some situations.
Well, I just thought of something.... does it work with custom ROM's? I just downloaded something on the net, and it hasn't really downloaded on Bionix V. Maybe I should go on over to the Bionix V thread and ask.
Unfortunately, it is so pointless right now because it can't function correctly over wifi only* connection. It just lists it in my market place under "My Downloads" and not actually installing the application.
I am using wifi only, because 3g is cut off in my office building.
*NOT on wifi but WIFI ONLY

Well I'm pretty sure all developers keep the fingerprint as the old eclair build for proper regular market access. Obviously I have no idea if this website would react differently. Who's to say it's not just as problematic on stock builds though? It is a brand new site after all.
Edit: Well I tried it out for the fun of it. It shows the download trying to take place on my phone, but the progress bar does nothing. Then again, I get this fairly often with the regular market too.
I loaded up EB13 last night and had no issues until I started downloading my apps. I have Slingplayer that I purchased to watch my Slingbox on my phone while on the go. If I search the Market it is missing. At first I thought it was something with paid apps, but I noticed my other bought apps were listed. I also noticed Ringlert was not listed in the market...a free app.
If I login into the Market on a PC web browser I can find those apps with no issues. But it says I have them installed on my phone already. Umm..no I don't!
Anyone else having issues like this?
There seem to be some people, myself included, that are having issues with protected apps. I noticed that NYTimes is not showing up and neither is TMZ. I need to try a clean install and see if I still have the problem, I cannot tell if this issue is happening after a data restore from CMW, or if its a real bug. Did you do any data restore?
The problem is the market does not recognize this release as a legitimate. It will take a few days before it does. There is a fix you can apply if you search for it in the device section.

Kinda figured something like that... think that's the i9000 fingerprint fix or something like that.
Also, try to contact the developer of the app. They might be able to change something that might make it work.
Just for the Record, I'm having the same problem as well. I Installed the EB13 and Slingplayer isn't listed in the Market, I'll wait a few days to see what happens. Hopefully it's back in there cause I really don't feel like screwing around with crap.
Im having the same problem .... cant find Slingplayer in market after EB13 ... Does anyone have the fix??????????

metallica said in a previous post that there is a fix somewhere the development section. it has to do with the i9000 fingerprint. search for it.

I'm not sure about the i9000 fingerprint, but here is the Nexus One fingerprint.

And yes, you must be root to use this fix as you will be editing a system file (/system/build.prop).

Same problem. I have eight or so apps that I used to have that either can't see in the market after applying EB13, or that come up as "not found" on AppBrain now. Google customer service suggests that I reboot my phone. *sigh*

Slingplayer still missing. Missing on another phone that isn't rooted. He refuses to root his phone.
Clearing the cache won't help with this problem. It's on Google's side.
If you are rooted, you can always backup the apk file while on the old 2.1 or DK28 build when it showed up in the market, then reinstall by hand after loading EB13
This is now resolved for me.

Yep looks like Google fixed it...Slingplayer is now showing with an update to boot.
