[Q] Android Market Progress Bar - G2 and Desire Z General

When I'm downloading an app from the android market the progress bar that tells me how far through the download I am stays greyed out like it's trying to start a download and then jumps to the installing phase.
There is no indication of how large the app is or how much has been downloaded while downloading is going on. Underneath where it typically shows the size and status it just says "Downloading..."
Things install fine but I'd like it to let me know what's going on while downloading. Does anyone else have this issue? Is there a way to fix it?
I'm running CM6.1.1 on my Tmobile G2

Android Market -Server Error

Anyone else seeing this when they open the Android Market? All I get is the featured apps along the top, which I think are cached. Can't browse it or see downloaded apps tab.
Data connection works otherwise.
I getting it too here in TX
Mine just started working again...
Working here again as well.

BLockbuster App issue

After getting my Droid X I kept trying to open the Blockbuster app and all I would get was a black screen until I force closed it. I kept trying after restarting my phone, but it still wouldn't work. So I decided to redownload it from the Market and now it works.
It might be a pointless app but at least it now works.
ANyone else having the same problem? Anyone even using it?
Yep. I let it sit on that black screen for 5 minutes and finally, a notification popped up that read, "An application update is required." It just took me to the Market to update to the same version (1.0.45) that you manually grabbed.

[Q] Can't download apps from Market

Hello XDA,
This question has probably been asked millions of times but after looking for over half an hour and not finding a solution I have to open a new thread.
The problem is that I'm not able to download Android apps from the market all of the sudden. I was able to install apps yesterday but each time I click "Install" the progress bar pops up and I see a notification in the top right corner. The progress bar in the notifications area doesn't fill up and after a while it just dissapears. In the market the progress bar doesn't dissapear but stays empty aswell. From time to time I get the "download unsuccessful" message but most of the time my only option is to "Cancel download".
I am running: darkstone HD2Froyo V3 (26-October-2010)
I've had this problem with one previous build, but I don't remember which one.
Things I've tried:
-Deleting/Signing-out of Google Voice
-I've tried different APN's
-I've tried both with and without Wi-Fi
-I've tried rebooting my phone
-I've tried multiple apps
The weird thing is that everything worked fine yesterday.
I hope someone can help me and I hope I'm not the 134893489th person to open a thread regarding this.

It is the market, not the build. The market has been acting funny lately.
I suddenly have the same problems.
I had the same problems, but after upgrading kernel to hastarin's 7.7 market works again, both 3g/wi-fi.
try creating another google account i guess it helped for me (in the past i had the same problem and tried a lot of things and finally it worked... dont know what exactly was the reason).
Funny, I am having the same issue. Last two days, I have been doing alot of formatting and resintall of Android (froyostone build) and I never had problems downloading from Market.
But now, all of a sudden, I am having problems. I even tried reformatting my SD card and reinstalling froyotstone, but still no luck.
same. started 2 days ago. still going on today. every now and then an app will work but most wont do crap.
Thanks for the quick replies you guys! Guess we'll just have to wait this one out ;-)

unmount sd card and then download and install, it works for me...
any updates on this problem? ive been researching for the past 3 hrs to no avail. i might as well go back to wm without googles apps....
unlike matutemhn, nothing ever worked for me. its hard to believe that there hasnt been a solid answer to this problem given the amount of people here on the boards who use these 3rd party roms. im hoping its a google thing indeed. i dont wanna go back to wm.
i just unmounted my sd card and remounted it...totally froze my device.
In the past I've had this problem, I've solved it by:
-Settings > Applications > Running applications
Force Close market app
Clear cache and data
I can't remember if I rebooted, it's been a while but probably wouldn't hurt. I don't have my phone to hand right at the moment so the process might not be word-for-word perfect.
There doesn't seem to be a reason behind this but i certainly don't think it'll do any harm - at worse you've wasted 30 seconds
i just tried your way kinsago, doesnt work for me. yup i think in the boat of people who have "tried it all" to no avail. cant even sign into talk.
been days now and i still cant download. has this anything to do with having a ported OS on the phone? google detecting that? even that wouldnt make sense since people here are able to download on and off.
wow, i did axactly as you said and it worked!!
just clear the cache and the data and voila!!!!!
i can once more download apps from android market
Hello all,
Installed android for the first time last night and really like it, runs well, except for the inability to download anything from the market. My network connection is fine can browse the web, by wifi and mobile data connection, but every time i try to download anything i get the 'download unsucessful' message. I have tried every solution mentioned above and spent hours googling to no avail!
If anyone has any more suggestions or thoughts it would be appreciated, this thing will drive me crazy shortly!
Cheers
Stuart
grabbed my "old" android folder with mdj froyo sense clean on it and gues what: it works again....

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?
> I am forced to hit back and then select install or download the app a 2nd time. Not sure why.
+1
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.
Sent from my A500 using XDA Premium App
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] Market Installs Stopped Working

Hey guys, I have a NSTG (1.2.1) thats rooted with NookManager, setup Gapps, installed Search Market, etc. Everything was working great after initial setup. I didn't use the Nook for a couple months after that but picked it back up recently and had some problesm: Dropbox would give a fatal error when attempting to sync, apps would not install via Search Market or from a push from the Play store website even though the device did show up on the list.
I was able to resolve some of the issues (Dropbox) when I realized I was being stupid and just had no space on the SD card because it was still formatted for NookManager and repartitioned it but the Market installs still do not work at all. Search Market shows results and I get to the point where I accept permissions and then a notification bubble appears in the status bar of the Nook and immediately disappears. Push from Play store site does nothing. I'd really rather not have to restore from backup/reroot/etc. Anyone seen similar issues? Thanks!
Usually a logcat will tell you exactly what the problem is.
Thanks, I'll post one soon. I'm on vacation right now and only have my MacBook, not sure how to get a logcat at the moment....

I'm having exactly the same issue and it's really annoying. Went to download Opera Mobile and a File Manager today but nothing downloads. If you go to 'My Apps' in the market they show as 'downloading' but nothing is actually happening.
Wonder if our access has been blocked?
I solved this problem, delete market data with titanium.
Thanks will give that a go tonight!

I'm going to sideload Titanium tonight and give this a go. Going to feel really stupid if that's all it is! I'll report back...
EDIT: Okay, I installed Titanium last night and wiped the Market app data, but had no change in behavior. Finding an app through Search Market then attempting to install does the same thing: notification bubble appears in the Nook status bar but then immediately disappears...
