Anyone having issues with the market right now?
Mine is trying to update maps, beautiful widgets, and titanium; but its hanging on downloading.
I've cleared market cache, rebooted, and changed to WiFi.

+1... funny thing is that I was able to get some apps to download/update after several tries.

Yes. They seem to be having some issues.

issues here too. cm6

yeah same here. grrr

Ok, just glad I'm not the only one. Was going to flash a new ROM, but I'll wait till this gets worked out.

HA!! I just switched to a new ROM and I have been posting in the devs thread telling them the ROM isn't allowing me to download anything from the market. Oops! At least I know where the problem is coming from now though. Too bad I have wiped my phone and now can't download Titanium Backup to restore.
Also I have tried 3G, 4G and Wifi. The market just isn't working.

Yeah, maps won't update. Guess ill have to wait. Now says my maps aren't even installed.

1 out of 3 downloaded (smart keyboard pro) maps and another app are hanging as well. I was wondering what was going on. Glad I saw this thread I was considering a wipe. Using calkulins rom.

This is driving me crazy.
It goes from "Starting download" to "Download paused"
dumb

Same here. Started this afternoon when I went to update some apps. Goes straight to download paused (never even seen that before) and after some time says download was unsuccessful. Tried downgrading market but it didn't help. I hope Google gets the market issues fixed soon. They keep secretly updating it and half the time it works and the other half it gets serious bugs.

What a cluster, but I'm glad It's not just me.

Just open up and log into GTalk and the downloads should automatically resume their downloading....

Market download issue with root?

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"

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?

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.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using Tapatalk

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.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using Tapatalk

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.

Go to menu> settings > applications > manage applications> market. Here click on clear data. Nyu may have a problem with broken links of ur apps. If that's the problem, above steps should solve it.

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, =)

market rant - No more facebook!

Okay, I was going to complain before, but held off. No longer.
It's stupid that the market totally blocks programs that it "thinks" you can't run.
Right now facebook, which I've been running perfectly fine for months, is now marked incompatible with the note.
But a big warning/disclaimer if you have to. But totally block?
It's just plain annoying, especially for apps which 99% work.

yea, but you can't download it from the market anymore, which is going to annoy any new purchasers.

Same with google voice search which I have on the phone already but themarket seems to think I don't have it installed and when I try to instal latest version from market it tells me not compatible with my device and can't download it.

No such problem for me. Just to sure I uninstalled Facebook, rebooted, and reinstalled from the Market.
What happens if you try and install from market.android.com? Does it show as being incompatible?

yea. can't see it at all in the market on my phone. on website it says my mytouch4g is compatible. and not my note.
strange how it works for you - perhaps its regional? I haven't actually looked for the app in the market for ages. many roms ago, hah.

i found that reverting to stock dpi, 320, fixes this problem. i think its uncompatible if u set u to non standard dpi values.
im pretty sure thats how i fixed mine.

240dpi works instead of 320dpi, can't do something like say 284dpi however, not only will you find you can't install some new apps, but i found some apps mysteriously uninstalled themselves from my phone when i set my note to non standard dpis

Mine even more horrible.

It's a APP problem, not a kernel issue...
I have this too... I think after installing the chrome app...
Do you have the chrome app?

I've only had this happen while running Miui gingerbread roms. Which rom/kernel are you using?

I HAVE THE FIX. Go so settings>apps>all apps (you will have to scroll the bar over to see this option)>download manager (not "downloads")>clear data. Should fix it.

With gb miui, that only worked for one or two downloads, then the behavior would return.
Not sure which rom the op is running, but that was the case with some gb roms. Luckily, I've long since upgraded to ics and no longer have that issue.

Same here but it gets annoying having to clear data a few times a day
