Android Market Force Closes

I'm having a problem downloading and updating apps from the Android Market. As soon as the download is complete and the phone tries to install the Android Market force closes. Is anyone else having this problem? Does anyone know how to fix it? My N1 is rooted and running CM 5.0.6.

Go to settings>applications>manage applications>market then clear cache and uninstall updates.
Come back to home screen then go into market, accept the T&C's and download your stuff.

Thanks man it worked. The only thing is that I have to do it every so often. It also takes a lomg time for anything to show up (i.e. searches, downloads, and just browsing)

Thanks
Worked for me too

Thanko you!
Finaly!

I didn't need to uninstall updates. I fixed this by just clearing the data in the application. But yes, if an application hangs at install it seems to screw up the Market app.

Mhhh. Yesterday had an app (Volume) that was stuck on installing an app ... for hours.

Thanks! Fixed my issue.

Thanks, worked great

Am I missing something? When I goto settings>applications>manage applications>market I can clear data and clear cache but I can't uninstall anything.
I cleared both the cache and data but once I except the terms of service it FC again. And I still have the issue with FC after every install or uninstall.

Anyone care to chime in here? I'm still having issues with the market crashing even after clearing data and cache.
Also I notice the market will crash after I set my USB connection type to data (connect to the computer).

WTF!? i have tried partitioning/formating the sd card and reinstalling cm6.1.1 and everytime i login to my google account and go to the market IT ALWAYS CRASHES! i dont have anything but 2 purchased apps that are not installed. clearing data and such does not help. even tried to reinstall cm6.1.1 with and without hdpa gapps but the problem is still there. i have flashed roms countless times and this is a first. makes me want to get a blackberry now.

Worked, but now I have the old version. Does it upgrade itself?

I've installed new rom and when market updates it crashes. I did wipe chace, unistal update and yes it works. I get back my old market. But after few minutes it updates itself to new one and I'm back at the begining.

Where is your Market update installing to - /data or /system?

Sorry but I'm new here. How can I see where updates are? Do I need to go to recovery and find market folder somewhere in -data or -system?

You can use a file browser and look in /system/app and /data/app to see if the Market is there - however, a better option is to use Titanium and use the batch options to "Integrate updates of system apps in ROM".
Once the Market is back in the /system it should behave a lot better...

-data/app folder is empty. I found Marketupdater.apk in -system/app. I'll try this Titanium and report back how are things.

Ok I've fixed it. You just need to select english language in settings and it dosn't crashes anymore.
PS: Sorry for bad english.

This is the solution for most market FC issues. Someone should pin this.

[Q] Clean update, one-click-root, Market not working properly

Hi,
I can't find the solution to this problem.
I had originally a Dutch Vodafone branded X10i.
Debranded it -> ok
Rooted it with the old method (install .16, update, root) -> ok
Had to repair some mistakes and reinstalled the X10i again.
First back to .16 from the old root method.
Update OTA to .23.
Update to .26 had to go with SEUS.
Installed the new root function (one-click app X10root.apk).
Reinstalled my apps and data with Titanium Backup.
All but some apps seem ok.
I can't find some apps in Android Market anymore.
For example I'm missing Paypal (is free), Hit it light, GoTo (lockscreen, paid).
From the applications menu I:
- erased data from download management
- erased data from gmail
- erased data from google apps
- erased data from google talk
- erased data from google talk-service
- cleared the cache of market
- erased data from market updater
- erased data from gmail storage (opslag van gmail)
I can't find anything called IM or Instant Messaging or so.
I throttled the phone.
Started Android Market, inserted my credentials.
Still no luck.
What can I do next?

Have you tried the market fix?

Which one?
I know there's one from the original thread to gain root, but I thought that one was needed because .23 was deliverd by that thread. Do I need to run that market fix ?
Or do I need to use Eris Market Fix app?
Or is there another one?

Not sure which you would need to try, but would imagine it would be from the thread you used to root.

[Q] Help!!! BOYPPC-SHIFTPDA GINGER 2.3.3 V5 Can't Download any apps from the market

I can access the Android Market, but it will not download any apps. It starts to download for half a second but then stops. I have used the "BOYPPC-SHIFTPDA GINGER 2.3.3 V5 " and "AmeriCanAndroid" ROMs and have the same result.
I have deleted cache and data from all the programs that start with Google and Market but I still cant download any apps. Any tips on what I can do to fix this?

Update to v 11 !!!
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App

The ROM type is SD, not NAND.

i had the same problem. you have to move what ever apps you have stored on the "phone" to the sd card. then you'll be able to download new apps and place them back on the phone ie pandora...

i got the same problem this wil work for you.
go to ----> settings-applications-manage applications-all
google backup transport clear data
google partner setup clear data
google services framework clear data
market clear cache
than reboot

thanks dude

I recently updated to CM7 Nightlies and by default it has got ROM Manager installed as a system file. I want to upgrade it to a newer version but can't as it says 'app not installed' when I have already deleted the previous ROM Manager.apk file. HELP PLZ !

Either use Titanium Backup to remove it, or delete the apk from the zip before flashing.

I already uninstalled it through Titanium backup and shows nowhere but still when I try to install the newer version, it says app not installed

Was "remove market link" selected in TB? And have you tried installing from Google? By that, I mean login to your account on the web and install it from there.

I didn't notice about the 'remove market link'. Where should I look for it in TB? Actually I downloaded .apk and then tried to install it on the phone. I've been doing it for ages but had no problems till now.

You'll find it in Preferences. Also, Menu -> ..., Market options allows you to "Repair Market Links"

Ok I see the following options in Preferences: Normal apps (apk), Protected apps (apk), System apps (apk), Market link... all of these are checked ...there are also options under Freezer settings > Remove Market entry (checked)... under Un-installer settings > Remove Market entry (checked) .... btw, the TB version is 4.2.1

That's all right. Try fixing market links. With rom manager installed.

mate that's the point, I can't install ROM Manager ! ...

Then all I can suggest is clearing dalvik cache and try installing from market. Try online install from your pc, Google should push it straight to your phone.

A see all the Apps in my Apps, but again later on... everything is empty
Somebody have same issues?
Cheers,

If you find an app you have purchased before, does it allow you to install it? Or does it say its "incompatible" with your device?

It is allowed to download it and install it. And i have no new phone... so maybe my account is corrupt at Google side?

Try the following, if you have superuser permissions.
In the file /system/build.prop find the line starting with ru.build.fingerprint, and replace symbols JFM to JJ7
If this not works, in the same file find the option ro.sf.lcd_density=167 and change 167 to 160. You may set another value, eg. 240.
After saving the changes you should reboot.

Care to elaborate? Or do I need to remove your post?

My ro.build.fingerprint is like:
ro.build.fingerprint=htc_wwe/htc_ace/ace:2.3.5/GRJ90/$:user/release-keys
Do i replace GRJ90 then?
ro.sf.lcd_density=240 this is my line

Have change this things but did not work.
clear cache did also not work again...

Better first try to change LCD density to 160. I'm not sure about fingerprint in non-Russian roms
Btw, are the permissions for build.prop set correctly after making changes?
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA App

Try everything nothing helped...
I use a build.prop editor this saves the file and correct the permissions.
Even uninstalled the market update did not work

IT is working again:
unimstalled the update of market
Clean data from google services framework.
Then force close
Clean data of market
Then force close
Reboot
Now it seems to work....
After update of market app the problem is back. Now i try the same steps as above...
After the steps above without remove market update i got my list back...
But after a change from portrait to landscape the list is gone again....

Seems like Google developers "fixed" something again. Try to ask their support

I discover it was a App problem. When i did a full restore of Titanium the problem was there... When i did every time 5 apps restore i use for long time the problem was gone...
I do not know that app gives this error.. because i delete all other apps what i think it was the problem and even do not use them anymore as well..
It is a update of something .. so my problem is solved.

Also, Market Fixer can help to solve the problem. Root required!

Market fixer did not work... have try that already.. but it is solved now...

Official fix for me...
Requirements:
Market Fixer app installed
Faith and patience
Intructions:
1) go to manage applications in your settings, tap view all and force close "Market" (don't delete any data)
2) while still there, also delete "Google Services Framework"'s data and force close it
3) run "Market Fixer", tap analyse market links, select all of them and tap remove market links ONLY
4) go to "My Apps" inside Android Market and make sure there's a Retry button on the screen telling you it couldn't communicate with the server, if there isn't, repeat step 2 and re-check
5) re-run "Market Fixer" to be sure the links didn't get recreated, and if none appear, reboot
6) go to "My Apps" as soon as you boot completely
7) if previously bought apps appear on the list, go to the free apps category and install a new one (this will recreate your market's database with working information)
8) check "My Apps" one last time, all apps should be there now
9) if you want, reboot once more and go to "My Apps" again to make sure everything's in working order with your "My Apps" list
10) dance the macarena, shoot a few hoops or just enjoy your victory like i did
11) make sure you don't re-link those evil apps to your market so you don't have to redo all of this
***As you could've noticed, the idea behind the first five steps is to keep the market from recreating the links or having to clear the data for Google Services Framework many times (both happen when the market's still running in background).***
