Hi, I'm currently located in Suzhou, China (near Shanghai) & for a couple of days now I am unable to download any applications from the market? Granted we only get free apps, I've downloaded apps before and now they just show this error: "Download of XXX was unsuccessful, please try again later."
It's frustrating to say the least, and I'm hoping that others are also experiencing this problem and that I'm not alone in this?? I've tried to power off/turn on the phone; anything else I can try?

Hi guys,
I'm a french user (sorry for my poor english with faults) and on my phone (Sapphire) i've a problem like sephonly's.
My acces is granted on the Market and i can see every apps (free or paid). I can see all of "My Downloads" apps too. But when i try to download, apps are loading and stay like that!
It stay in "Starting download" for free apps and "Authorizing credit card..." for paid apps for hours and hours.
I used to flash and wipe my phone and he Market work fine with the Evil HEro 2.6 but not with it's updates (2.7, 2.8; 2.9).
I met that issue with Jac's, Eugene373's, Maxima's ROM too.
It's the only problem i have with those ROMs!
Can somebody help me to fix it ?
Same prob in Japan... I can use Wifi to download apps though...

Dear all,
I've recently acquired the Galaxy Tab from UAE/Dubai. It doesn't have the Android Market which is really disappointing.
Does anyone know how to enable it? Like in the Galaxy S? (dial a number?)
I don't want to flash. It's too new to mess up
Thanks

Thanks. But it doesn't . When I choose "fake this provider", it says there is a problem.
Also from what I read, that is meant to allow paid apps. The problem is that the Android Market app is missing completely. Only SlideMe market is there.
hi,
maybe you can use this market app from this thread.
dont know if it will work though.
regards,
mike
Did you get it on Etisalat or operator free? Do you know where I can get it in Dubai not with operator contract? Thanks.
http://www.wipconnector.com/appstores lists all alternative market places by platform
Try MarketAccess from the andappstore
EDIT: Just done some reading and apparently vending.apk and market updater.apk cannot be pushed the normal way - you will have to install them via an update.zip.
hi,
the device was available last week during the gitex period in Dubai at around 3200 AED
maybe it's still available here, last time i checked at eros digital, its same price.
regards,
mike
Thanks, I was in last day of Gitexshopper, but none left, only in Etisalat booth with contract :-(.
Better luck next tinme, i'll wait
Cheers.
I was able to get it from Eros Mirdif. Reserved one by giving a down payment a while back.
It's a really nice tablet. Such a shame though. The market being missing and all. I was hoping the Galaxy S command would work, since they're almost identical. Sigh
Galaxy Tab
Got mine during GITEX, found it at Carrefour. Everyone else was out of stock on the very first day of launch.
No Android Market is very frustrating, lots of alternatives available. I am trying lots of different tricks to try and get market working. Will keep you guys posted
Please stick to the topic. Try this:
Install a file manager like.Estrongs or Astro from here: http://www.freewarelovers.com/android/app/estrongs-file-explorer
transfer it with bluetooth or USB to your phone and install.
After installing the FIle manager.
1. Go to internal memory root
2. navigate to /system/app
3. Locate Vending.apk
4. push on it to install it
It may force close the first time you run it but the second time it should work
If you still encounter Force Close or download issues. Do the following ( you might want to do it anyway as it is sometimes better to start with a clean slate)
1. Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications
2. Chose All
3. Find Market
4. Push on it and select Clear data
from droidforums
Ok. When I run Vending.apk, it says unable to parse package.
I cannot find "Market" in all Applications.
get the apk from one of the above posts and use that.

The second "Patched Vending apk" installs successfully. I can launch the market and find apps. BUT all download attempts FAIL.
I think we're almost there........

I think you have managed to install it just fine. There are LOADS of Market problems at the moment. A HUGE number of people can't download anything from the market (nor update old apps) and those same people managed just fine weeks ago.
I spend one hour on my wife's Desire yesterday trying to install Astro. It would just error with "Download unsuccessful" or "Download paused" or something like that. Then I just hit "Cancel Download" and try again. Eventually it usually works, but I had to try MANY, MANY times.
So, I think you're ok, you're just experiencing the same probs everybody else has now
(There's a multi-page thread of it in google help forums and apparently they know about it. beats me if they're willing to DO anything about it though.)
Pissed me off to no end when I finally introduced my brother to the Android side of things and Market wouldn't work at all! He has a HTC Hero that previously had had NO problems with Market...
tl;dr: Yes, it's probably installed ok. No, Market doesn't work for the rest of us either :/

lol. Nice to know. Pity about the Market though. For the time being, I just browse appbrain for apps. Then try my luck googling the .apks. Torrented some app bundles also. But all that is just too tiresome. I hope Google or Samsung does something about it.
I just bought mine from the Eros Group in Abu Dhabi. I'm pretty letdown that they're selling this expensive product without letting you know that one of its main features is disabled.
I am with you kristenm. It's ridiculous. I am surviving using torrents, google and applanet to get apps, but its such a pain cause there are still apps i cant find without the market. And even after i finally got the market app installed. It fails on all downloads.
Its such a nice tablet. But samsung is not doing this right. Each shop has like a piece or 2, no accessories and little to no marketing.

Hi,
I have a strange problem. I cannot update any Software. When the Marketplace shows that there is one or more Updates available I get an error. When I click on "Update all" even if there is only one he won't even start downloading. If i open the app in the marketplace and click on update, he will download the software, but he is also aborting after downloading it successfully ... anyone knows how to fix it?!
I have a Omnia7 16GB (Telekom Deutschland/T-Mobile Germany)
Everything else is really working perfectly ... it is fast, no forced closes, no crashes, no speaker problems, no gps/3g/gsm problems, no battery problems (best battery life i have ever had in any smartphone), no standby menu button bug ... everything works fine except updating apps ...
greets
philad
[R] Marketplace Software-Update Fails
This problem occur only when you have the "Profil Réseau" app in the update list.
Otherwize it run normaly....
Why this app does such a thing ? i don't know yet ....
hum ok ... i also got an answer in another thread where i posted this offtopically ... i will check both ... thanks so far
I had something similar when installing an APP once. It got corrupted and stuck because I was running out diskspace during installaltion. I uninstalled it the usual way, rebooted (Windows is Windows Afterwards I reinstalled the App done.
So as long as you wont miss any save games, etc. I would try same. Apps you paid for, will install for free, but the settings are lost...
cheers

I was able to download a few files fine yesterday but now when I try getting any app from the marketplace I get the following message:
Your apps are already in use on the maximum number of devices. Use the zune software on your computer to update your devices.
UPDATE:
I am getting cant get this info right now. Check back in a little while
any idea why? how to fix?
Thanks
I have the same problem too. Not good MS. Why am I making apps if people can't download them?
EDIT: I'm using an HD7.
EDIT2: I tweeted MS and they said it was because they were doing maintenance on zune. It seems to work now.
I use google voice. Metrotalk's shutting down then, but I was wondering how one would go about saving a backup of this app to use after it is removed from the market.
Anyone?
I'd like to know this too. The xap is still available to download from the store, but the app is no longer published. I've been searching trying to find a way to install apps that are no longer published, but to no avail. Any help would be much appreciated. I HAVE PURCHASED THIS APP, but just got a new phone and still want to use it. Help?
