Hi I've had my Nexus S for a week now and by and large am very happy with it.
Recently I noticed that some apps from the market will not install after downloading, for example, the Pubtran London app.
the app always shows it's being currently downloaded, and when I check the About tab, it says that 100% has been downloaded, but it will not launch into install.
There are quite few apps which I tried to install but also had this problem. I would be grateful if anyone has experience the same issue and has advice to resolve this problem. thanks!
Not all apps are compatible with Gingerbread.
PS Ignore the fact that I thanked you. I clicked the wrong button
hi thank you.
seems then have to wait to the apps to be updated.
even the xda app does not work on nexus S!
I have just found a work-around for this problem.
everytime an app would not install, I just go into manage apps and clear the Market cache. Once the cache is cleared, app can be installed with no problem.

I'm having this problem too.
I don't think it's compatibility issues, clearing cache and force stopping the Market sometimes works, but it seems the next time I use the Market, one of my apps wont update until I do this again.
Any ideas?

The problem isn't unique to the Nexus S for me. My SGS i9000 (DocRamboned) has similar issue, especially with updates...lots fo them stall on the download, or download and fail on the install.
Perhaps there's some issue on the mothership's side of the market.

I read a couple of days back that the wildly popular game on iOS - Angry Birds has been released for android...however I'm not able to find the application on the market.
Could it be an android 1.6 limitation or a region restriction?
Also if someone has the .apk file for it...could you please upload it...i would be really grateful to you! Thanks !
you have a PM
I was just a little late also. I guess they pulled it pretty quick. I signed up for their distribution emails, so hopefully they will open it back up and let me in!

just keep relaunching it. it eventually works.

you can either keep launching it until it eventually works, or if you have a task killer kill all running apps then launch the game and it will boot instantly.

Yea, I have the same problem too but it seems to die of after a couple of days of playing the game lol. It force closes once in a while but it starts again if I relaunch it. You should report for bugs too cuz this is only the beta version
If you tap the screen while it's loading, the game loads up just fine.
It also runs incredibly smoothly, and for the moment, has better graphics than the iPhone version.
And look at that, it's not a 1.6 problem. Yay.
How come I can't find this game in the marketplace?

Never have any problem with angry bird on X10.
It just ran and start when every time i launched it.
However, I do have FC problem on my HTC Hero Froyo, and I have to continue tapping the screen to get the game work.
It's on the market for me...i just downloaded it then.
EDIT: after opening it, it's a different app.

Install Error...
Hi Team,
I downloaded the APK file thru Mediafile listing.
I am having problems installing this.
First, I downloaded the APK, uploaded to the phone via Bluetooth, then used Astro to browse to the APK file, and launched the application installer,
As with any application installer, it warns what specific android functions this app is going to access, I moved forward,keep clicking on install..and it keeps bringing me back to the same page, telling me about what specific android functions this app is going to access, I keep clicking on install, is not doing it!
Why?
My phone is rooted with a R2BA026 firmware & allowed unsigned installations (thru applications settings)
Any help?
Also, its confirmed to work on 1.6 as per: http://androidandme.com/2010/09/game...ndroid-market/
Also, wanted to know: I googled the mediashare file link, the official file name is: com.rovio.angrybirds_lite.apk (11.41M)
Now, what am I doing wrong?
There's no reason for an App not to work on Android 1.6 anyway, the Android SDK makes it really easy for a developer to develop a single apk for basically all versions of the OS starting from 1.6 by just setting one line in a XML file. (1.5 is different since it has too much limitations)
The only reason for an app to skip 1.6 would be OpenGL ES 2.0 (most app only use OGL ES 1.1 or use a fallback renderer) or the absolute need of multitouch (applications generally catch the error and fallback to singletouch events in that case tough.)
Really applications that don't work on Android 1.6 are badly written (*cough* Twitter) and even those using NDK shouldn't need android 2.x. (*cough* Mozilla)
Anyone else having issues with the market right now? When I try to download or update an app the download will appear to start and immediately stop. No errors reported. I have tried clearing market data even restored a nandroid backup from yesterday that was known to be good. Still the same problems.

I thought it may be ROM issue, but I guess not.
I am having similar issues as the OP.
I wiped the cache and data for the market and did a reboot, was about to nandroid my backup from yesterday, even tried it through appbrain...nothing is working.
the apps i am trying to update is green power premium and yelp.
I can't get anything to download now. It was working fine 3 hours ago.

The market app was running fine this afternoon but tonight it stopped working. Apps will show as Downloading and the download icon will momentarily show up in the notification bar (for less than a second). After the icon disappears, the status changes to Download Unsuccessful.
This is happening on every app (new installs and updates). I cleared the data and cache of the Market app and rebooted a few times but I get the same result. I assume this has to be a Market issue...
Same issue here.

The market servers are located in south Korea. If you don't know whats happening down there, you don't deserve a working market...
Ive just noticed that when i go into my apps in the new market after upgrading my phone to JPX it is only showing me 2 paid apps and none of the free ones that i have downloaded... which is a lot...
Is there a way of getting these back and also what happens when there is updates available? will i be notified of these or not?
I find a specific app in the markdet that i have installed it shows as installed, its just when i go into the my apps part.
Thanks for any help given.
go to settings, applications, manage applications, select the market app, clear data, clear cache.
Now it wont even open my apparently =\.
It say server error retry later...

The server error thing has nothing to do with the firmware, it's an issue with the market server. Started to happen last night.
So is everyone else having this problem? Tried everything recommended but its still the same

Hey guys,
I just got my Fire and I love it (besides the fact that I feel like I have to sideload EVERYTHING). I installed the official Spotify app, and it ran alright aside from some screen formatting problems (the navigation buttons for the Fire get in the way). The main issue is that the Fire doesn't realize it's a music app for some reason and puts the wifi connection to sleep when the screen goes off so my music shuts off... Very frustrating. Anyone have any ideas for a fix for this. I thought about installing Spare Parts Plus, but I can't find it anywhere to sideload it and it's not in the stupid Kindle App store...
Anyone? I may return my Fire if I can't get this to work...It's THAT important to me that I can stream without the wifi turning off...
you might want to look into apps that keep wifi on since the settings page for wifi is gone in the Fire. I'm sure one of those must exist somewhere. If not it seems like a very trivial app to write. Some sort of wifi lock toggle.
https://market.android.com/details?...51bGwsMSwxLDEsIm9yZy5rbWFuLldpZmlNYW5hZ2VyIl0.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.hogdex.WifiRuler&feature=also_installed
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mdsoftware.wifipowermanager&feature=also_installed
Try any of those apps, I'm pretty sure WiFi manager will be able to do whatever you need and more.
The screen formatting problems make it impossible for me to pause playing music without exiting the app - am I missing a way to do that?

It's silly, and really, really less-than-ideal, but using the spotify widget works for this. Toss in a volume control widget on the same screen, works great.
(This, of course, assumes you... have a normal launcher installed >.>)

Nice tip! Thanks. With ADW installed, being able to use a widget really is a life saver! The app is really crippled with the Kindle bar over the top. I hope they come up with a fix soon, but seeing as they don't officially support it, and Amazon probably won't allow it in the store, I won't hold my breath.
I can't get the buttons to show up correctly on the Spotify app itself. I can't tell if it's something to do with the tablet, or something to do with the fact that it's on a modified version of Android. I guess once the custom ROMs are out we'll know for sure.
Giving the numbers and spotify strategy, my guess is a fire friendly version is not far off..sound like we have a workaround for now.

I also told Amazon they should try to get it working properly, since, hey, I pay for Spotify, I'd like to use it on here.
Also, the music app that comes on it tends to be a bit... stuttery.
i have been having the same issues. Does anyone know if Spotify works on any tablets?
After around 30 seconds of any youtube video, the video freezes and the audio continues. I've tried uninstalling updates but the factory version is also the same. So now the app is unusable. Any idea what's happening and what we can do to fix it? Seems a lot of others are facing this issue. I'm unsure if it's a youtube problem or a samsung one...

E.g if you are using Wifi to watch the video, use 3G or another Wifi connection...
If you are using 3G, try to use Wifi.
Also check if you have enough free storage space available.

You have another options:
1- Feedback to the Youtube app's author for support to fix the issue.
2- Try another Youtube player apps, e.g FREEdi YouTube Player or Video Tube, and see if the problem still persists.
Possible solution
Unfortunately i had your same problem but in my case a simple reinstallation of the app solved the problem, try with a factory restore
I just made a post about this on the Sprint Galaxy S5 board. What I had to do was disable or turn off the ANT Radio Service, there should be two apps for it if this is your problem as well.

Unfortunately it is not very easy because it has to be turned back on and then it will download and reinstall the updates which takes some time and is very annoying. It might be possible to freeze the apps using titanium backup but I haven't tried this yet.
