Market download issue with root? - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

A few days ago I successfully rooted my phone to s-off status. Since then I have installed ROMmanager and ClockworkMod.
For the past 2 days, I've been having Market download issues where some apps begin and appear to complete downloading, but don't actually install. I've tried clearing the download manager and restarting, but that didn't work.
Anyone else seeing this?

Mine just recently today started force closing after every app I clicked update on. I would restart it, work fine then click on an app to update then FC. Thing is, the application continues to update normally and works fine. Its just the market is screwy or something...

Try clearing the data for market... Then reboot. I haven't had the issue with my 4g, but I did on my vibrant and that was the solution.
Worth a shot.

Thanks, unfortunately that didn't work. I even went back to a nandroid backup from 3 days ago...but androidcentral.com just sent out a tweet asking if anyone else has been having Market issues. Maybe it's not just me then?

Yeah, I am having issues. Mine will start to download, then it will just stop. Same with updates, I think it is a Market issue. Not a phone issue.
But mine just started tonight.
Edit: Woah, it works now.. Looks like my issue is gone, check on your side.
Edit 2: Stopped working again!
Edit 3: Looks like apps will only install when I hit "Automatic updates"
Edit 4: Scratch "Edit 3" seems to only work sometimes.. Looks like a market issue still, and not phone.

okay thought it was just my phone, i am having the same issue where it will start but then just disappear

Wow, you really took my brain for a ride. I think I need a vacation! ... I hate how these issues can come out of the blue because they're all server-side. I've had to swap my phone out several times before I got one without dust under the screent, etc. On top of this, my neighborhood has downed towers so the network is a bit spotty. All this started the day after I received my latest MT4G. This is the stuff heart attacks are made from!

If you want a quick fix go to settings> applications> market and hit "uninstall updates"

That works once, but then it updates market again
And I don't want to delete marketupdater.apk
Update: It is deff a Market issue, my Vibrant is doing the same thing. And others in the Vibrant section reported it.

Lol... the issue probably won't last long but you could always download droidwall to block network access to market updater.

Lol IDK, last time there was a Market issue.. Wow
It lasted about 15 hours. I hated it
But hmm. It seems to be working now. I will try to download a few more apps to confirm.
Yeah, it is working now.

I was just able to download a few apps consecutively, individually (not via update all), and they all worked. Perhaps issue is now resolved?

Off Topic: I get 60Mflops

Please post questions in Q&A section.

I had the same problem. I went to. Settings > Applications > Fast Boot and unchecked that. Since then I haven't had a problem with the market on my phone.

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?

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.

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.

If you actually did some reading on that page you'd easily realize that people other than Galaxy Tab users are having the problem.. People with the captivate, vibrant and even the international GT-I9000 are reporting having this problem as well...
What the hell is going on!?
Don't know if it's only me or a bug but I'm going through the all applications top paid of the market and all I see is these weird applications like "costly app" "sanity test app" "test app" "test" "test02NOV09_paid_fl"

I read the thread and found that it has nothing to do with the title of the post "market incompatible warning" or the OP problem... So it won't stand out to the google people that this is a problem with samsung devices... that galaxy tab error can be resolved by clearing the cache... Read that?
The only problem i'm having worth the market is when purchasing apps. When I click buy it tells me that a server error has occured and gives me the option to retry but that never works. I rebooted, cleared cache and it's still the same.
However, I can see my apps and download free apps. I can't purchase though. Anyone have the same problem?

what the heck..I was fine until I tried Master's new ROM. Got a market error so I ODIN'd back to stock. Flashed Nero5, then restored my nandroid.
Now I still have the market error. Strange part is that some of my apps are still installed but unusable.
I'm just a bit peeved...
I don't know why you guys are having this issue. I guess it could be the rom you guys are using. I'm using Nero v5 with stock rom and voodoo enabled. I hope you guys find the issue.

@ dalethefarmer check your IMEI (phone box or remove your battery and u see the tag with IMEI) Because my heatset don't match my phone status.
This post fixed it for me.

Im on nero 5 also... I had this problem for a couple hours and just kept hitting cancel and ok in the market and it bypassed the error and started downloading. I have to hit cancel 2 or 3 times and try to redownload. It works after about 3 tries for me. But displays an error everytime I download or update.

Not Receiving Market App Update Notifications

I've had this problem for months on all sorts of ROMs but never put much thought into it.
Is there a fix? I NEVER know if updates are available until I hit up the market.

Go to market, menu button>settings>notify me
I should have mentioned that I had that option selected. I've also tried clearing the cache, etc, with no luck.

I think the Market just sucks at notifying you. Its never been very good at notifying on my G1, mytouch slide, or the Vibrant, so its gotta be the Market.
I thought so too, but notifications work perfectly on my rooted Nook.

I've tried that before with no luck. What's really weird is that my market cache is always 0.0kb in size as well.
I wonder if I have an app or something that is blocking it. Right before I installed Bionix 1.3 I formatted my internal sd (just because I had never done so) and I received market notifications then and thought that maybe it was just clutter. But the issue is back. Super weird.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using Tapatalk
I also don't receive update notifications until I open my market. I just let programs update automatically, and check it every once in a while for manual updates due to apps requesting new permissions.

I think its a market issue. Its hit or miss for me. Sometimes I get them and sometimes I dont.
I don't know if this is a 2.2 issue or not but ever since i updated, my market has been acting iffy...along with a few other samsung widgets. I don't know if it's a server issue or something with 2.2 on our phones but i know a few people that started having that problem as soon as they updated to 2.2.
Same market issue here, hardly ever get notifications on updates. However whenever I open market all the notifications come up
I'm with everyone else, I don't think I've ever gotten notifications before. My gf's phone doesn't get hers either and shes using a MyTouch Slide. I do get notifications right after I close the Market, but never before.
I think its purely a market issue.

It worked perfectly on android 1.1 with the G1 back then, but since 1.5 its been hit or miss .... guess its been over looked by the OEM, when putting together roms for their devices ... Or it can just be an issue with google's servers .. I just made it a habit to check every day for updates ..
Mine works it seems to work every 3-4 days on notifying me. But, it hangs in the download so I end up doing manual update.
This method go to Market> type find updates or update apps then it seems to find them
The auto update is kinda flaky and unreliable
What's weird about it, at least to me, is that it works perfect on my rooted nook and with the honeycomb demo for my nook. At least I'm not the only SGS owner with issues.

Wait... you think this is a bug/bad thing?
OMG I'd be thrilled to never receive market update notifications, instead, I have to manually kill the service every reboot (even with "do not notify me" set) and often uninstall unwanted updates from my themed apps in /system/app until I have time to theme them.
Royal pain, I'd love to never have updates, lol.
Cheers, =)

Why so many apps missing?!

OK, so after the Gingerbread update a TON of stuff I purchased in the market is no longer available.
Tweetcaster pro, FIFA, Abduction world attack, Paypal (official), The Sims..... What gives? I've never stolen software for Android, and I don't want to. I want my apps back! Ideas?

Use this apk to fix your market. Reboot. Should solve your problems.
Didn't work. :L Man, this is SUPER annoying.
You sure you did it right? I had the same exact problem with my apps...a lot of people have. That's the fix. Before I applied it, my Slingplayer wasn't showing up in the market...30 freaking dollar app..now it is.
I downloaded the .apk, installed, then rebooted. Nothing. Are you on Gingerbread?
Could someone running GB tell me if they can find tweetcaster pro or FIFA in the market?

You need to run the app though lol. After you install, open your app drawer and run Market Fixer. Click Fix, THEN reboot. Yes, I'm on Gingerbread.

I was able to fix this, as I seemed to get a version update on my Market stealth (as it had the AdMob setting added to my Settings screen, where 2 days ago, it wasn't there). When that happened, all my apps returned.
Right before I found this, I did run the APK from above, but I used QuickReboot to reboot. Coincidence?
Now to get the 55 updates I missed over the past month...
I'm not rooted. That was the issue. I don't want to root either. EA Games took care of me. Now to email handmark.... :L

I know it's a dumb question, but have you checked the market website? I had a similar issue and was able to find and download the missing apps through the site.

You're welcome. It's good to know that there's at least one part of the market we can rely on.

Market update?

I an attempt to try to get GB, I have been accessing the Market, and trying to update firmware (no luck btw), and it seems that Market updated itself??? The Market screen seems more condensed. Anyone else seeing that?
FINALLY!!!!! An option to enable all apps to update by default!!!! NICE
I am on build 3.3.11 btw.
I keep a link to the market on the home screen, so I figured something was up when the bag icon changed. Update all is pretty cool...until your phone tries to update some big apps while you are out and about which kills your battery. You can default it to only update when on WiFi, which does help.
Also, if you have multiple google accts, you can change them on the fly from the market header bar. Maybe that's been there, but noticed it for the first time today. It was pointed at a different acct.
Hope this build stops the "false update" problem!
