Hi guys,
seems like I cannot dowload any more app from the market.
Everytime I select one I get a pop-up sayng "not found - no item can be found"
Also all my paid app have gone and on "my downloads" I got nothing listed!
I'm running qtek 1.8 on a magic 32B, but it seems like this is not depending from roms...
Look here : http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Android+Market/thread?tid=46448518c9a0bebc&hl=en
And here, on the "flash this hero" dream thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=575681&page=65 (page 65 and 67 so far...)
What do you think the problem is depending from?
Have no clue...
Seems like no wiping or formatting sd card is doing...
Don't do any wipe when finish flashing roms.
That's not the case, no wipe after installing
Hey guys,an update: I switched back to an old cyanogen backup and now I got back the abilty to browse the market,buy or download app....but "my downloads" still remains void and it's no more taking track of downloaded or neither new bought app (had a try with a cheap one).
Luckily all my paied app are still recognized as "bought"...
I just wonder what could have happened...
I saw a lot of people having the same problem, would really like to have their feedback too..
double post, sorry
I was previously on the latest Cyanogen ROM with updated Donut style Market before I flashed this Herver 1.1r2. I wonder if it has anything to do with downgrading to the old style market(Cupcake or before)?
I gave up on the hero builds since both Herver and King's build gave me this market error. I flashed to Cyanogen's latest 4.2.1 and the market is working perfectly now.
Edit: Oh forgot to mention that my downloads list shows the apps that I've downloaded previously.
LOL...I did the same thing, however 4.2.2 came out tonight. Flashed it and running way faster than the fastest hero rom. Market works perfect and all downloads show even though they are not even installed yet. Perfect.....thanks Cyanogen......Heros UI is cool as hell, but not quite there yet.

So you confirm that "my downloads" is getting back to work?
I just got back to a backup...maybe I have to try a fresh new install and see what happens...
Did you manage to make my downloads working just through a backup or you did a brand new install?
I'm pretty sure its to do with many of the hero roms don't have the new market place application.
Ok, gave a try installing cyanogen with a fresh install (repartitioning and wiping) and market got back to its normal status.. with "my downloads" fully working again...
I just wonder what could be the problem with these new hero roms...
On google support forum I've seen people having the same issue even with the official taiwan update... so strange...

I started from scratch to get this to work, but did not try to even go the backup route as I felt it would be wasted time.
I formatted SD card and repartitioned with 128MB swap(which i not used in this ROM), a 512MB ext2 and the rest FAT32. By the way this is on a 2GB stock SD card.
After that I wiped the device and installed the ROM following the "install from scratch" methods, reflashing SPL and Radio, rebooting to recovery, then flashing the 4.2.2 ROM. Everything on my phone works like a champ. All apps show up and downloads appeared even when not installed yet.
I haven't updated my rom in weeks and weeks... 3 days ago i got this error and nothing is working. I'm not really wanting to change roms as i finally have my whole phone setup jussst like i want it. I'm on the my hero 1.1.8 i think. what the fups going on ? =(
I had the same issue too.
This is how I solved it:
1. Clean cache for Google Apps in Settings>Apps>Manage
2. Try to enter Market, it will ask you for a Google Account, create a new one.
3. Check that with the new account that apps are there again.
4. Clean Google Apps cache again.
5. Try to enter Market, when it asks for a Goggle Account enter your "usual" account.
6. Now Market should work fine.

Thanks! I am able to install new apps again. "My downloads" is still empty though.
said it too fast...it's not working again =(
Ok, can try this too. Do a wipe and flash to another rom (normal cupcake or donut), go into Market and make sure everything is there (might take some time for it to sync). Do a wipe again and flash the Sense rom.
Once the phone boots up, DO NOT log into Google Account using wifi. Skip the initial intro part and go key in your APN settings. Then launch Market and sign into Google from there.
It worked for me and fingers crossed that it will go smoothly from here.
Hey guys, any news on this problem?
I didn't flash any other sense based rom since then... Do you know if newer roms solved the problem once and for all?
Hi. So, I had some problems with my tablet since I installed pershot's kernel. I decided i wanted to try to revert back to stock.
So, i basically in the process bricked my tablet and have been tinkering with it for a few hours now.
And all of the sudden, it works again.
I managed to flash PDA_SIGNED_P7105.tar.md5 with ODIN.
and as far as I can see, its a fresh, clean install;
Apparently in the process I've formatted everything on the tab and got 3.0.1 up and running.
But heres the weird part:
I got applications installed on The GT10.1, that i ONLY use on my GT7 installed.
And i know this doesnt come pre-installed with the 3.0.1 firmware since there are specific norwegian applications installed. (Posten, Spotify, and a launcher)
How.. How can this be??
The Launcher and Posten-application were never ever installed on the GT10.1?
Edit/update:
Hmm. Could it be google that have installed these applications for me?
I belive all the applications that arent supposed to be on this tablet (tasker, spare parts, blade buddy, hotels.com, bump, posten sporing, xda-premium and Wifi Analyzer) are cross compatible on both tablets?
Seriously. I have no clue what have happened here.
But then again, the tablet just booted up with this applications pre-installed, and all are apparently working. I didnt notice any downloading of some sort.

Only way that happened is if you kept the restore feature box checked during the initial setup.

So it restored the applications from .. my other tab?
isnt the point of restoring, that its supposed to restore the GT10.1 like it was before, and not like the GT7 is now. ?
I mean, cant google differentiate between the tablets? :s

Wouldn't be very useful if it only restored from the same exact phone or tablet, now would it? I got rid of my G2x, because it was a terrible phone. I bought a G2 on Craigslist. When I finished the initial setup, it had installed all of my apps and configurations from the G2x.
i have no idea what happened or why but the market now is offically broken for me.
it thinks my 32gb iconia that i got from amazon is from another country and its not.
i installed a COM_GEN1 stock rom, not an EMEA or what ever rom.
i am listed as USA in all settings.
nothing on the market will install as it keeps saying my tab is from another country.
everything was working fine... what the **** is going on.. holy crap i cant tell you how frustrating this is and i will file a complaint with amazon and my local BBB if this stupid company is selling iconia 32gb tabs as usa models when they are not.
someone help please i have searched everywhere and cant find an answer
i did look around on the google support sites and there are alot of people reporting this in the last 2 months and some from the Acer transformer and only 1 guy said he switched google accounts and it went away.
i have tried multiple accounts and even made sure my info on that account was set up for USA.
i live in iowa for pete's sake... it was working damn it.
It's not about the hardware (although you can check the box and you'll see which country it's listed). This is a bug. I also had the same problem and it's up to Google to fix it.
My market results were in everything but English and nothing helped. You'll just have to live with it. The problem disappeared however after a few weeks.
Keep in mind that I flashed a US rom on my tablet (I'm from Europe and the tablet came with German rom) and some descriptions were still in Russian which is nowhere near me.
thank you sir!
and i wont just live with it because nothing installs or updates and i cant even search for anything.
and now because i flashed back to stock i dont even have the ability to root or install recovery.
i am trying to find a link to iconia root and acer recovery installer that i can email my self and download via the tablet so i can atleast read the **** on my sd card.
since there was no file explorer in the stock rom i flashed.
If you need the apk's, Why don't you look in the Iconia Root and Acer Recovery Installer threads, then?
Or better yet, get one of the 3.1 OTA ROMS listed in the dev section, they don't require root or CWM, and install one of those? That should restore your market function.
i got iconia root. i had saved a copy on my PC but the acer recovery program is a market program, not something that is available via threads here
floatingfatman - how will a 3.1 rom fix an issue that is unfixable by hardware or firmware...
please be sure to read my post so you know that i already did that.
this isnt isnt just me there are a good number of posts about it on the google market support threads.... just no fix.
google did respond to my support ticket and tried telling me i have some filter applied on my Iconia market App that is stopping the installs and search results.
my reply was "WRONG" how does a filter make the market think i am not in the USA....
i told the guy to please read my email and my issue before just given me a blanket response that has nothing to do with my issue.
@OP: My problem was fixed after a few weeks. I don't know how much exactly but the thing that messed up my device was that I used a wifi spot in another country while I was on vacation. I didn't even have the list of the apps that were already installed on my device.
It's a serious bug and I even opened a post about it but all my search indicated that it will go away or I'll have to live with it. It sucks I agree but we can't fix it since it something to do with google market.
Some people also reported that disabling the location settings (the settings that determines your location via wifi or GPS you'll find it) and wiping Market cache afterwards would fix it but that didn't work for me.
ok finally got recovery installer downloaded and installed and doing a back up now, then will restore my last backup which had everything in it that i currently was trying to download.
thanks for the help guys.
but unfortunately this still doesnt fix the market issue i am having so we will see what happens.
@bpivk - yeah i did all that and nothing happened. even a complete format and flashing of a stock unrooted rom didnt help.
its all on google, its nothign to do with me, acer or anything.
i think it started when they started rolling out the new market to all the phones.
this issue started for me before my Samsung PHONE got the new market but anyways. just something i realized.
Try this:
Settings-Applications
Google Service Framework - Force Stop and clear data
Market - Force stop and clear cache
Reboot and give it a shot.
I just updated Civato's c3 mix to c6. I did not do a full wipe reset ( I didn't want to reinstall everything) and have lost Market. I downloaded the vending.apk linked in his rom section and installed rebooted.
Still nothing.
Everything else works fine so far. I just keep getting "no application installed".
Other than reinstalling with a reset wipe, any ideas on fixing my mistake?
Thank You

Interesting. Just yesterday I had issues with my Phones Market app. Force Closes after it started. So I downloaded and installed the new market app. Here's where it got interesting.
Not sure if I deleted the old on the first attempt, or before the second attempt, but when I finished, I selected Market from the launcher "no application found". So I uninstalled all market apps. Installed the new, and from the launcher "no application installed" again! Checked my "apps" and the market icon worked! Had to delet the old icon from my launcher, and drop the new one there.
So my guess, is uninstall the old before installing the new. Remove all traces of it.
I did fix it.
I tried the Civato fix of renaming vending.apk and dlding another placing it in system/app and rebooting. No luck. I tried installing the app manually and received the "no application found" warning.
Luckily I had one sitting in Titanium backup. It reinstalled an older version and I did have to delete the old icon.
Just strange that it would not install the way it should.
Yeah, I remember reading about it in that roms thread. Seems to be a rom specific issue with it. Glad you're up and running.

I know and sorry for the trouble , it has got something to do with the 3.1.6 and 3.2 Market. If you install that version it is hard to revert back to the original A500 market (1.0.28) without doing a full wipe.
I posted it on my thread , that it is better to stay with old market , make a NANdroid backup and then flash the rom with new marked to check it out if you like it.
I'm really sorry for your trouble , I didn't notice the problem myself until I tried to revert back to the Old market.
I think all the roms with New (leaked) 3.2 market will have the same problem if you want to revert back to the old market. A full wipe or a titanium backup is the only solution then.
I've only had my A500 for a couple of weeks, but I've already tried quite a few ROM's since then, and the funny thing is, 75% of the time, there's a market issue! Dunno if it's just me or what. It typically only happens with the ICS market leak. Maybe some devices just don't like it. But anyway, I seem to have come up with a universal fix that has worked every time I've tried it. I just posted about it here. Basically, what you're doing is completely removing the market and all traces left behind, rebooting, injecting the 3.1.6 market, and rebooting again. It's almost too easy

Thanks and yep , I think it is some problem the way 3.2 market (leaked version) is intigrated into the system , on the full ICS 4.0 there will be no problem I guess but on HC3.2 it got some problems.
Edit:
The A500 uses a market simular like the website android market , it is intigrated into the system , I did a test , even when I delete the vending apk and marketupdater apk in the rom before flashing it , it still installs the 1.0.28version and I think that there it goes wrong when you install a other Market version and then try to go back.
I stick with the 1.0.28 version on the A500 , I think this web-layout is the more clearer one , 2.3.6 is ok but 3.1.5 and up to 3.2 got to small fonts and icons for me and is good for phones but not tablets in my opinion , the only good in those new versions is the rotation where the 1.028 only got horizontal view.

Don't be so hard on yourself. You have the nerve to give people new roms to play with. Nothings perfect and will always have minor issues we learn to work around. Just keep doing your thing. Believe me, people appreciate it more than you know

No need to apologize. I read the instructions and tried it anyway.
I'm very happy with your rom so thank you for all the time and effort.
I'm using Thors kernel and have no complaints.
We only learn from our mistakes and this was a very minor lesson.
I just discovered I have the "Error purchasing" problem.
Any ideas on a fix? I cleared cache no luck.
Thank You
go to the android market with Google webbrowser. Market acount settings .Make sure your device isn't hidden in menu.
Try downloading and installing true android market from the webpage and see if your tablet starts installing the picked app. If it doesn't. Your tablet is hidden in menu of the devices and you need to change that in your market account settings.
Fixed it, fingers crossed.
I tried to uninstall it from Titanium Backup and received the message that Finsky.apk would uninstall.
Since I was not certain which version of Vending.apk and Finsky.apk were on the tablet, I pulled them both from Thors 10 rom.
I then did the usual, rename the old ones, copy the new ones, force stop, clear cache and data, delete account, reboot, login, create new account.
Works fine now.
Are Vending.apk and Finsky.apk linked in some way? Previously I tried different versions of just Vending.apk and had either the error purchasing or fc when checking my apps.
Thank You
Well it seems to be that the finsky.apk is linked.
Thanks for the info.

It is linked - I have noticed this before. But check my last post on the first page. It's not necessarily required for the market to run (at least, with version 3.x) because I have removed it entirely. By removing all traces of the market (finsky.apk, vending.apk, and clearing cache) a fresh market apk can be pasted into /system/app with the permissions set to rx-r--r-- and it should run just fine.
Another thing which apparently works (who knows why) is going to Android settings, and selecting your language (even though it's already selected) and then running the market again. Not sure if that applies to tablets, but I remember having to do it with my phone on certain ROM's & market versions.
Can any of you guys co firm if the Netflix App shows up for you on Google Play. It used to show up for me but it'a not showing anymore.
Normally, this happens on tablets where the ROM has been tampered with in some way (installed root, recovery, etc). Fortunately, you can simply download the APK and install it manually.

Rooting the device doesn't do it on it's own. I discovered that what did it was modifying the build.prop
I ended up reflashing the tablet with the stock firmware and rooting it again. I purchased it recently and have been tinkering with it a lot, so I neeed to reflash anyways.
