market out
market is out for me as well i was flashing all kind of roms must b a server down ive read some of the post and a lot of people are out as well and also on different devices as well so ill go back to mod'n my hero and wait

I am running cm6 and mine has been out for a few hours.

I just downloaded google maps about five minutes ago running aospbot nightly but it took an extremely long time. flashing the latest nightly gave me network error though anyone wanna man up and flash run the ruu to find out if it's just a rom issue or if it's google.

market is down...looks like there will be a major upgrade!

Mine works

Working again, no upgrades...

yeah i was having that trouble when I was testing RegawMOD 3.0 lol I thought it was something I did! good to know!

my market has been acting up for a couple days now and its still doing it anyone know of a fix? I thought it was my rom but I've wiped and flashed a different rom and still the same problem.

mine loads fine but when i go to download an app the download arrow pops up for a sec then goes away and it never finishes downloading... good to know it's not just me

I'm having far worse problems with my phone. I started out with the market going slow, clicking to download an app, then waiting 5 to 10 minuets until the download starts. Then came the network errors on the market, taking 12 hours for downloads to start. Now, finally, when I type in www.google.com in my browser, my phone just sits there, looking at me like I'm stupid.
I can go to bing, yahoo, xda, penny-arcade, kotaku. I just can't go to any site related to google, on an operating system coded, ran, and maintained by google. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's the definition of irony.
Anyway, if it helps any, I'm running 2.2 cm6, flashed between that and Zenhero 2.1 and the stock rom, doing factory wipes, and both regular and davlik(sp?) cache wipes in between.

Weird, I've had no issues to speak of, running cm6 830 and now 831

[Q] DroidX Froyo market issue

Updated sucessfully to Froyo! Everything runs great.... Except that I can't connect to the market.
I get a time out error/can't connect. Gmail and all other apps have no issues.
I have tried this solution:
http://www.droid-life.com/2010/06/12/tip-market-app-issue-in-froyo/
and, this solution:
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/team-chaos/49974-market-update-fix-froyo-leaked-version-2-a.html
without success. The second one caused a boot loop and I had to re-flash .604 via SBF/RSD.
Anyone have any suggestions or a fix for the DroidX?

Both of those links were for the droid. Im have the same issue though.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

I was aware that they were for the Droid... I was just hoping that they would work for the DX.... although after looking at the build.prop files I now realize that was a REALLY STUPID NOOB error.
I guess I was hoping that the .zip's contained some code that would change a setting and not RR the whole file.
If someone knows what setting needs to be changed please let me know. For now, I'll have to go back to 2.1 if I can't get the market.

I don't think its an X on Froyo issue, Markets not working on my EVO and X

Google server error?
Other Android users(non-Droid X Froyo users) have reported the same issue in another forum. Seems to be a "Google side" error. Probably just maintenance because of all the Froyo releases this month.

Markets back up
Alot of search results not showing up on both of my phones, Google issue

Cleared cache in Market all is good

I was having the same issue yesterday, but tried it today and all works again. Must have been a Google problem.

Good info bro! I cleared the market data and all fine now. Thanks

How do you clear the market cache? I can't seem to find it.

Worked perfect with root explorer. Thx

Market didn't work at first, then it did but with weird apps i never heard of in the Top Paid, then a few hours later almost all my previously installed apps showed up, then the market seemed normal expect for like 10 apps that i can live without for now wont show up.

It was a market issue. Market works great now!

Try to download something else. See what happens. I got thru once but that was it. Also on that link to AndroidForums.com they are complaining as if the market always goes down. This is the first time ever for me. Not sure about you guys. Been with Android since G1.

This might be good news. Maybe Google is prepping the Market with some new features for tomorrows Honeycomb event.

Downloaded Gensoid just fine. I'll try a few more.
Game Dev story went through fine. No problems here. I had a HeroC when it came out, I've never really experienced market outage that I can remember clearly enough to bother me.

Just updated four apps with no hiccups.

Odd, I just got the phone today, did the OTA and have the new market.
When I first set it up I let it re-install all my apps and blah, and had the old market. I did a factory reset through recovery and did a fresh sign in through the gmail app, which stopped the restore of my app data, I wanted to start fresh. I had the new market after that.

I think those that were having issues, the issues are now gone. I never had any issues though.
Supposedly has to do with google market upgrades coming, but who knows.

Anybody having issues with the Market?

Just wondering if anyone besides myself is having market issues?
Whenever I attempt to download any app...I keep getting the message the download was unsuccessful. I wiped the data and everything on the Market app and still couldn't download any apps. I even uninstalled the updates on the market and still I couldn't install any apps.

Yesterday mine was working fine. I got up this morning and tried to install a few updates and got the message that all of them didn't unable download....
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk

So does anyone else have any issues downloading apps from the Market? Everytime I attempt to download an app, I'm still getting the message that it was unsuccessful.
In addition, whenever I turn on my 4G...I used to get the "4G Antenna On" icon in the taskbar. Now I don't even get that. When I check the 4G status, it just says "scanning".
I just got this Evo this past sunday and I'm trying to hold on to it so I can exchange it for a Nexus S once they come out. But this is driving me crazy. I've updated the prl, profile and did a factory reset, cleared the Market cache and data and I'm still I'm having issues. this has been going on since 6 this morning...
I don't know if this matters but I'm in Madison WI and I'm also stock..non-rooted and my Evo version is the 004 model.

I'm having issues downloading anything since a couple hours ago on my Evo Shift in Milwaukee. New rom, so i wasn't sure if it was my fault or the market's.

I did several factory resets and I still have the issue. I even unrooted my phone. I'm going to reroot it again once i get home and see if i still have the problem.

What ROM are you using? I have had problems updating apps that were included as system apps in certain ROMs.

I'm unrooted right now. last night when I was rooted, I didn't have these issues. However, I unrooted using this method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780141&highlight=unroot
When after I unrooted the phone, everything worked fine. But this morning, I updated 3 or 4 apps..then all of sudden all the apps stop downloading and the "download unsuccessful" message popped up.

google market fails...

I rerooted my phone and after I rerooted, I was still unableto download and install apps from the Market App itself. I cleared the Market's Cache/Data again and it still didn't work.
However, if i went to https://market.android.com/ on my pc, I was able to download/install apps. So I'm wondering if the issue is with the Google App itself...

Flashed CyanogenMod Final earlier and have had no problems today / tonight with Market.

I had the same issues while I was on vacation in Orlando last week. First, I thought it was my Miui. Wiped everything and started from scratch with Miui. Didn't work, so I switch Roms, CM7...didn't work. Flashed back to my stock backup...still didn't work. Went back to Miui and said the hell with it after I tried other family members phones, and they couldn't either. No app dwnlds or updates from JUST the app market.
It has been working fine since Monday. I was freaking out though, lol.

My wife has an Optimus and she can download apps with no problem. I'm hoping, that it either fixes itself by tomorrow morning.

been having problems since yesterday and thought it was the rom. I have changed to three different for my flashaholic addiction since then and still some problems. Google maps shows unintalled on all roms and it's installed. Don't know whats going on with that.

Market seems to be running again for me. I just installed 2 apps.

When i go to update my apps... It just hangs and says downloading and doesn't do anything. I have to force close and clear cache for it to work again. It has only done a few times to a new downloading app.

Play Store

My market just changed to the play store. It FCs before I can accept the terms.
I'm on GalaxyTask 14. In fact I just went to GT14 so I tried wiping clean and I still get the FC on the store. Anyone else?

Same here ... I'm sure Task (on his thread) will tell us what to do once his Market also upgrades to Play...

glad to hear I'm not alone - sorry but misery loves company.
I didn't want to start off bothering Task in case it wasn't ROM related

Task 14 here and I get the same. Sucks because I need to redownload Touchdown tonight for a trip tomorrow afternoon. Hope there's a fix before then or else I'll have to find my corporate Palm Pre (gasp).

My market...eh, Play Store forceclosed and the icon is gone. Task 14 as well.

I had the same error with the fc... This fixed it for me. I went to settings> applications> manager applications> all. Found the new google play app & wiped everything I could, such as clear cache, clear data, then did a force stop, and finally an uninstall. After this I clicked my normal app store icon it told me it was being changed to google play again, so I figured I was in for more fcs. but went ahead and agreed. Everything was fine after no more fcs.
I noticed another file updated itself too, but can't remember the name it was some market file though.
Try this and see if it works for you or if I just got lucky.
In double checking on my memory of what I did so I could be precise here I noticed the google play application is now gone. but the market is updated and no fcs.
EDIT: Just noticed it may have only been called the play store app that I uninstalled. not google play app.

Do you actually have an icon for it that works?
Edit: nevermind... I'm sure you do. While the forum was in maintenance I found a way to keep the new google play store and still not have the fc's
So although if you want a quick fix you can uninstall as I instructed before, or just wait until I get up a quick guide to keep the play store without the fc's.
I'm hoping someone will beat me to it though.
Edit 2: Sometimes I make more work for myself by posting quick fixes before thoroughly making sure it's the best fix and this is one of them if you want to keep the google play store and still stop the fc's.
Final Edit: If you are having issues with the play store and haven't uninstalled it yet you should just have to force close it, clear data and run it again and it should start without the FC's.
If you have uninstalled it like I suggested in the previous post and want it back or if you don't have it and want it quicker this quote I swiped from somewhere while googling should help... "If you want to speed up the update process, the usual trick involving force-closing Market, clearing data, uninstalling updates and then loading up the app again seems to work." then wait for the update. It updated so fast for me that I had a hard time testing this fix and had to disable my wifi to confirm uninstallation although YMMV especially if you're trying to get it for the first time. You may want to make sure your device is on the list of supported devices at http://support.google.com/googleplay/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=190860 before trying this a waiting for something that may never come.
This may cause the FC's that started me on this issue to happen again and you'll need to force close it, clear the data and run it again, as stated above in this final edit.
I've already checked this at least twice, but just in case, I'm going to make sure everything works as I say so stay tuned for a few minutes until I post a final edit 2 just in case I'm missing anything.
Final Edit 2: Seems everything works as stated. I couldn't even mess it completely up when I tried.
I think the name is stupid as [email protected], but it's the new app store so what can we do? Seemed like it is really fast and they are having some great sales on apps and a little music, so maybe it's worth putting up with the stupid new name.
If I've caused you needless hassle feel free to call me names and cuss at me. I should have thought of the short way to fix the FC's before sugesting the uninstall. My bad.
Let me know if you have any issues still and I'll help where I can.
If you made it this far in the post congratulations, and thanks.

Would have been really simple had I just said go into settings, applications, manage applications and clear data for the play store. Which fixes the fc's.

This must be a HC 3.2 only issue.. I had the problem on Task 14 and it was easily fixed but flashed back to AOKP b27 last night and the market updated with no issues at all...

Probably... Everyone I've noticed I said they were Task 14 except one who was still on Task 10 or something and asked task for help. I'm sure you know how that reply went.
"If you want to speed up the update process, the usual trick involving force-closing Market, clearing data, uninstalling updates and then loading up the app again seems to work." then wait for the update. This should only take a minute or two if you had it to begin with and you can trust it's official this way.

I wouldn't run any app downloaded from hotfile, not knowing where it ultimately came from. Too much of a chance it's been modded to steal who knows what. Especially a market app :what:

Good to know, I have yet to encounter any problems with hotfile but you never know. Your trick didn't work for me it would not update so I went the other way.
EDIT: info came from http://androidadvices.com/download-google-play-store-v346-tutorial/

actually this must be because i updated it on my galaxy nexus phone first - to update that i had to clear data on the market and then launch market and after i accepted the terms it updated itself. I then applied the same to my tab so did not see the issues others have experienced
