Can Not Download From The Market

I am successfully running the Magic 5.0.1G rom... and everything was running OK... then yesterday I cannot download from the market.
I shows that "download is starting"... but it never actually downloads....
I tried rebooting, turning wifi on an off.... nothing is working.
I have the app to sd engaged.... but I did not mess with the cache to sd.
Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks!

Same problem here. I had to flash back JF 1.43 RC9. Any solution would be appreciated.

Same problem here. Same details also. Looking forward to any ideas.
**app to sd not enabled.

Same here 5.0.1g, apps to sd not enabled, tried starting gtalk, cycle wifi, cycle airplane mode, multiple reboots, clearing market cache, everything I found on google. I don't want to go back to JF. Any solutions?

Yeah, boycott the market. We should make our own market!!! Free apps. How dare they decide to cut off the folk who could no longer wait for them to release "buttcake" and downloaded the Magic rom. I thought Google was my Friend. Now I see otherwise. I pay for their open sourced product to find it's nothing of the kind!!! Dirty rotten heathens!!!
or... we can just wait till the cupcake is released or the G2 hits the states. Market should be back up. This could also be a big ol' mistake in which case "Google is my friend, buddy and the best man at my wedding!!!" If not... Start a market and pay developers 88% of the proceeds...

I'm having issues similar to those stated. I noticed this morning that the apps weren't downloading, but after a few minutes they started. Tried a few more ten minutes later and the problem is back again. I'm running 5.01G appstosd
Did reverting back to JF solve the problem for those who did so? If not, could it possibly be a problem with the market itself? Maybe they are updating, and throttling the downloads to reduce the load while doing so? Just throwing the idea out there. I'm rather new to the scene and don't really know if that kind of thing ever happens. All other networking is working fine, and the market got a few apps for me today after it stopped working. Other files download from elsewhere. It sounds like an issue with the service rather than the roms.

Based on a report from BGR it's jus the G branch of the Cupcake builds while the HTC one still has access for now.

This was report to BoyGenius from XDA. Check the Magic/Saphire thread - last couple of pages.

Thanks for posting that.
I'm still keeping the build though. I don't need program updates and when I do I'll just download them off the online webs or download on another g1 and copy to an SD (for free apps) obviously.
Not getting rid of the candy they have in this build just for a market.

Didn't take long to get this problem solved. New builds labeled r2 (fixed market) can be found at Haykuro's google code page
http://code.google.com/p/sapphire-port-dream/

Sweet. Haykuro is god.

I downloaded it and flashed it and I still can't download apps from the market. I'm using 5.0.1Gr2-appstosd. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get this to work?
I wiped the phone before I updated also FYI

IM still having this issue, with the new 5.0.1Gr2

I am still having issues as well. Also, do not know if it's related, but on my t-mobile bill it says £ instead of $ on the "amount due ---"

im using 5.0.2H and ive never had an issue with the market, nor did i have one with 5.0.1H or 5.0

doesn't works

what im wondering is where is everyone getting this info about google blocking 'cupcake' users from the market? where is the official statement? because im using haykuros 5.0.2H and everything works on the market for me

The 5.0.2.H build works fine the issue is only on the Google Builds. I've tested the HTC builds and I can dl from the market with no issues, but once I install the Google one I run into the issue.

I have the same issue with the gr2 build of apps to sd...I used the HTC build prior and market was fine, but everything else was glitchy so I went for the google build...still, this rather sucks..I wanna play my paid apps!

Flashed to the HTC build until problem resolved. Even with no wipe, just a flash, market works fine.

New Android Market Website

So it's finally out. What do you guys think? Is this the end of Appbrain? I loved appbrain cause I can browse the apps on the website and then just click install from there and it will automatically install on the phone. Now this can do it too!
The biggest upside to this? You can install (after you pay) "in-app" purchase app from the website. e.g. you can install the NBA League Pass from the website directly. Any other features I missed?
This is from Google themselves, not me.
https://market.android.com/

Cool. I like it.

I never really got into appbrain, because it still involved that extra step of opening the application itself.. and blah.. I think, I can't even remember. It just seemed tedious at the time to go onto the computer when it was quicker on my phone.
Then when Google does it, I'm all over it. I have been installing random applications just to install them. Why is this so awesome?!

I played with it for a while now and everything seems to be working well. I guess I can save some space by uninstalling appbrain and use this instead.

sweet jesus!

I'm like'n it...good stuff!

The automatic OTA install is working to my N1 and my Galaxy Tab now, it wasn't earlier this morning.
Works well!

With this new website comes another big change that will happen in the 3rd quarter of this year: NO MORE "LITE" version apps.

That's actually a good thing. You download the "free" application, and then if you decide to unlock it you buy the key from within the app rather than a separate unlocker application, or having the market cluttered with 2 separate versions.
Sounds like a plan!
The in-app purchasing as a general concept I'm not a massive fan off as it has the potential to lead to nickle & diming, primarily for games, but if used responsibly it should be good.

Wow, about time. Glad to see it's finally here.

now all they need to do is let you backup your app data. I dont want to lose my angry birds scores everytime i switch roms and forget to back it up with titamium backup

Well, I don't suppose there's a way for Market Enabler to work on the website?
It lists paid apps from all over the world, but it knows your phone's carrier and will prevent installs if your country does not support it..
I guess it's back to Market Enabler on the phone.

Anyone else having trouble actually buying apps from the website? Installing free apps works like a charm, but trying to purchase and install paid apps doesn't work. I press continue and _nothing_ happens.

running CM7 nightlies and the OTA installs are not working...

According to the website, you need to be logged into GTalk, only my GTalk won't log in. GTalk also appears to be missing from the market, so the problem may be on their end...

Doesn't work for me, it's been years and Android Market still doesn't support Google Apps accounts for Checkout. Although I can login, no devices are listed under "my devices" on market.android.com

I'm running CM7 Nightlies as well, I'm a few behind though, and I'm always logged into GTalk and the OTA's are not working for me either.

It's not working here on MM v.20. I've tried installing several apps but nothing happens on the phone end, the GTalk solution they give also doesn't help. Weird thing is they all show up on my app list as completed when none of them have actually installed.

I'm having the same issue. I'm running CM6.1 kangorama's version and the install says it has worked on the website, but nothing changes on the phone itself.
I'm wondering if it has to do with it being a rooted device without a stock rom?

I'm betting that someone is going to have to create a Web App Store Enabler or something along those lines for this to work on rooted phones or phones without stock ROM's.

New Market

I don't see much in forums on new market. Any one running the new market on 1.2 with 4.6.16? Which version are you running. Any issues? Thx
Sent from my NOOKcolor using XDA Premium App

I'm using the old version of it, was 1.2.6 or something like that, can't remember.
I don't know how to update (or auto-update) but since the old one doesn't give me any problem, I won't bother install new one.

mine auto updated last night.

Mine auto updated last night, and it caught me by surprise. It took me a second to realize what had happened. I can't say I'm a big fan of it so far, but maybe it will grow on me.

New market didn't work for me, I installed the apk over the old market and some things weren't available, like google earth, so I uninstalled the update and everythings back and available.
Not sure if anyone else is having problems with the new version

Mine just auto updated, I like it although it does seem a little cluttered. maybe that is becuase it is not for a screen this big?

Im not sure thats as much a "problem." it looks like google is blocking apps going forward on devices they don't deam the app compatible on.

Issue I have with the new market is blocking of apps other then google. Example being Net Swiss Tool which is an excellent network PD tool. Also textwarrior. Neither of these can be installed with the new market but can be with the old. Found this out when I was doing a emmc dual boot config using CM nightly and was reinstalling things. No I had not done a backup. With the new market I could not install these two apps. I got the old market app out of the gapps zip file and installed. Could then install the apps that I could not with the new market.
neither of these apps make use of anything like GPS so am not sure why the new market will not let you install.
At least I was able to install the old market. The apps both run fine by the way.

That's funny too in that the apps that weren't available in the new market work great after having gotten them from the old market. Especially when you consider a couple apps I picked up in the new market don't fill the screen on my nook, aren't compatible!

I think that has more to do with when you originally downloaded them, not what version of the market you are using. Google made the market "device aware" about a month ago.

I'm not particularly impressed with the new market -- I liked the previous version better.
I've also noticed that the new market doesn't let me install some apps like the old market did. For example - the FBReader app - it reports as not being compatible in the new market, but the old market it does show as compatible. Not sure why. I know I have my build.prop set to "htc" so the Netflix works -- but that doesn't explain why some apps are showing incompatible in the new app versus the old.
I found quite a few like that, actually. So much so, I uninstalled the market update and went back to the old green market.

Not true -- I tried downloading FBReader for the first time yesterday. New Market wouldn't let me - so I uninstalled the new market, and the old market let me just fine. I saw this behavior across a few apps in the new market - so nixed its update and went back to the old, green market.

I agree with wifflepig, as I've had my nc for only two weeks. (god I love this thing!!)

That suggests that the new market app itself is device aware and the old one was not, or not completely. Going directly to the market website while logged in on your PC will show the FB app as not compatible. The website won't let you set it up for a download either. I have a pending request with Google for more info but so far no answer. The first response was to contact the developer for the FB app, so I wrote them back and told them I used FB as an example. Clearly they did not really read my original email and I could see in the response that their filters picked up key words to formulate the response. I suspect "Brian" was a bot....

Market downloads

Has anyone else had the problem where you're browsing the market on your a500, click to download an app, and it simply doesn't download?
About 70% of the time (conservative estimate) the "taskbar" shows that an app is downloading, but the "My Apps" panel in the market doesn't show that download. If I leave it alone, the taskbar reports that the download completed, but I don't see the app anywhere. I also noticed that if I'm browsing the market on my PC and I send an app to be downloaded on my tablet, if the "My Apps" panel isn't open on the tablet, the app will not download.
I'm running the stock OTA 3.1 ROM.

I get that a lot. I am forced to hit back and then select install or download the app a 2nd time. Not sure why.

I have always had this same problem ,even after updates from the Market. I hate the Market. It turns into a major thing just trying to download anything. It's very frustrating and takes 10 minutes of trying, trying again, cussing, connection time outs. Its pretty bad when we have a Android device and its a Android market and they still can't get it right. Maybe it's a Honeycomb thing? Maybe they should call apple and get some advice?

common issue
Go into settings
Application
Manage applications
Browse to the market app
Clear app data.
This will sometimes fix that issue but only for a while
Worked for me
Good luck

I've had the same problem. Running Taboonay custom ROM version 2.0.

market
Same here have had that problem and so does wife. I get a kick out of wife she gets frustrated and impatient and swears at it.....lmao

So for a while there I was having the same issue. I went into clock work recovery and wipe dcache and battery stats and now all is well again. I would recommend that.

My issues seems to be that when I try to pull down an app, it tells me that it is unable to purchase. And suggestions?

I've had that a few times where I couldn't purchase an app. I found that purchasing through the online market works fine and auto-installs into the right device. It might have something to do with the lack of phone and IMEI number; could be wrong though.
Also, buying stuff with my phone then installing on my tablet works fine.

Go to settings applications Tonto market app then clear . Simple fix. Simple fix

Tried all this stuff still dont work
So i tried all this stuff and it still wont even download anymore it just FC when i click the my apps button FC this is really annoying. Went to market on pc it even says the app is installed on my device and it is soooooo not. Saw on another thread someone said Google was blacklisting users they know are rooted which i think is just dumb and dont believe, who cares what we do to the device we are still running android and want to purchase apps from the store. super lame well gonna try few other things then guess reinstall rom and kernel and see if that helps thank got for titanium backup

[Q] New Market and FC

Hello!
New Market on motorola Xoom Wi-fi every time I want to upgrade giving me FC. I don't know how to fix it. Tried to delete upgrade install on the Application but it is upgrading by itself. Tried to clear the cash, clear data.
Nothing helps.
Please, who know how to fix this problem? Looks like new Market doesn't work on Honeycomb.
Guys, help me, please? I really need your advice?
Thank you!

What market version do you have?
Sent from my Xoom using xda premium

If you have Documents to Go installed, remove it. It has a problem with the manifest and Dataviz needs to update it, you can use the version from their website in the interim.
Or grab today's free Amazon Apps, Quick Office and Quick Office HD.

Tried everything. Market. 3.1.6, market 3.3.1.1 or something like that, all of them giving me fc.
Guys, please, I need a solution. Can somebody give some advice, please? Or maybe somebody have old mafket app flashable trough cwm? Because google doing nothing for honeycomb.
Sent from my Xoom using xda premium

The problem is almost certainly related to an installed app, if you don't have Documents to Go installed, started removing apps one at a time until the market begins working properly and report back when you identify the offending app.

I had a thread for the same thing a page or so back.
documents to go didnt seem to cause me much grief (but i removed it anyway), but i did have a problem with Enhanced Email FCing the market (which i also ended up removing on the xoom, working fine on the desire).
noticed my market updated itself to 3.3.1.1 (or similar) the other night too - same problems as the last version.
just waiting for ICS update now and will see if that fixes stuff - I imagine it will and/or devs will update their apps to ICS

Do you have apps that you side loaded that the market reported as not compatible? I get the market FC any time one of my side loaded apps tries to update.

I found that it was a certain alternative market that caused me to "loose" all of my apps... I thought that it was the new market and even went back to the moray 2.2.1 to have the old market.
I figured out it was that other market because I uninstalled it and bingo, I had my apps...
I was pretty stupid and used titanium backup to "force" the market links and ended up with one heck of a messed up android market.... Now I am working through that..

Uninstalled the app called "Download all files" and sims like everything working for now.
Thank you very much!

actually i think i had getjar on there... that's missing from the supermarché now - I wonder if that was the issue
i was also guessing that by the time ICS hits the xoom - and all the devs update their apps for that most of this issue should go away

FWIW, I had the exact same problem I uninstalled Enhanced Email and the problem went away. Too bad, I really like Enhanced Email!
