Market force closes during app install

sorry for any typos I'm on my phone
I flashed fresh 2d today for about the 4th time. I have never had any issues before now. when I download any app from the market it completes the download, but when it goes to install the market force closes.
I don't recall every seeing anyone complain about this, but then again I can't search from the xda app to prove it.
anyone else have this? or a fix?

Go to Settings - Applications - Market and uninstall updates. Worked for me.

Try this: Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> Market -> Uninstall Updates

I had this problem today. I think its the actual market having problems not our phone. But what seemed to fix it was I restored back to 1.5 rom (not sure if that mattered) and then wiped and restored back to my previous nandroid of 2.1.

flawless, thanks guys. any clue what caused it other than the obvious update?

I only tried with youtube, these other apps I dont will use and dont try with these. and I uninstalled it, these apps appears like youtube app in titanium backup
edit: I tried install google voice and google earth and no problem for me

I had a same problem on my Nexus S, what I did was, I navigated to /system/app/ folder on my phone with ES File Explorer, found the YouTube.apk and reinstalled it from there!
PS. Android Market and my phone showed the application as installed, and all options were greyed out (Open, Install, Uninstall)!

I fixed it with ep file explorer. Fix the youtube app
But still have problems with voice recorder thinkfree office and others that wont install and show up in my menu.

I had to do this several times because it kept getting messed up. Couldn't uninstall it normally but it didn't open.

But with titanium backup you need root access what i dont have. Then it isnot possible?

What is that? Can you give me a name of one?

I cannot uninstall it with a free app. Google vpice or thinkfree are not even visible.
I can only see these apk files with ep file.explorer

My odd solution:
-Download GApps from Rom Manager...or wherever
-Flash GApps via recovery
-Reboot (Still no YouTube...)
-Go to Market
-Re-install Youtube from Market
When my YouTube "disappeared", it "appeared" in the Market as installed but the Open and Unistall buttons were greyed out. The icon in the drawer and the widget option were both gone.

I don't have that Think Free Office icon either in the apps drawer, but the TFO is installed in my phone. I was little bit confused about that thing, but now I see it's a common issue...?

I find it in xoom forum,thought it might help
If you have had a problem with the missing YouTube and/or Google Books applications, we have a workaround you can try.
Connect to WiFi network. (So far it looks like only WiFi Xooms have had this issue. Let me know if you have this on a Verizon Xoom.)
Go into Settings > Applications > Manage Applications
Go to the "All" tab and then scroll down and select "Google Partner Setup."
Clear Data.
Reboot your Xoom. (That is, turn it off and on.)
If this doesn't work, perform a factory reset (Settings > Privacy > Factory data reset) and try the sequence above again.
Please let me know how if this works for you.

How? Was it the suggestion to clear data from the Google Partner Setup or something else?

Market compatibility issue after MIUI?

I get this everytime i try to download a simple app for example: Google Books.
This app is incompatible with your T-Mobile Samsung T959.
T-Mobile Samsung T959
This item is not compatible with your device.
This has happened AFTER flashing miui...
is anyone else facing this without miui or with miui?
bonus question:
where are the books in google books stored in sd card? im trying to make my personal ebook but i want to just try it with google books, how can i do that?

Bump please help

I'm assuming you did the standard clear market data and wipe cache. That's all I got. Maybe a build prop issue?

yep i'm so pissed off right now. Anyways, i'm going back to the stock version of miui, maybe its because i've been using it for a long time?
edit: doing that fixed it. thanks for the help.

I was trying to help someone with this same exact problem. No solution was found. He even made sure the device fingerprint was okay. What finally worked was installing a different ROM

any Ideas how to fix this market problem?

Hmmmm. it seems that my problems with Android Market was due to the DPI change which I made - the display density.
I changed my HTC Desire back from 200 dpi to the default value if 200 dpi, after that I cleared Android Market data and cache and restarted the phone.
After that on Android Market the problem with the "This item is not compatible with your device" error on some applications was fixed.
P.S. For changeing the display density you can use one of this apps from the Market: LCD Density or LCD Density Changer

Thanks this fixed my i9000.
But WTH causes this. I don't see how changing the dpi could break market, unless app's are searching for a specific dpi range?

market organizes the apps and checks if their compatible with your device, if your device has some random ass density, then the market notices that and tries to find all apps that fit that screen size, and the apps then do not show up because the apps are made for certain, and regulated displays, which doesn't include a dpi like 642 or something

Can not install Google Earth on Cyanogenmod 7.1

Everytime i try to install Google earth on my Nexus S through the Market i get "Device not supported". I search on google and in this forum and can not find a answer. Please help me!

I fixed for me installing through webbrowser: hxxps://market.android.com/details?id=com.google.earth&feature=search_result
But why i can not use market-application to install. Thats bad...

I'm having the exact same problem - no idea why.

Try this,
Go to manage applications, click on market and clear data, Now install the apps again.
Might work.

I tried to extract the Google Earth apk from the stock ROM and installed it. It installed, however it keeps force closing when i launch it. So i guess it's incompatible with CyanogenMod 7.1

Installs and works just fine on cm 7.1.0.1, but I also have matrix 8.5 kernel on top of cm

When I was on CM7.1, I didn't have any difficulties to install from local Market or Web Market.
Furthermore Google Earth has a lot of downloads, then it would say if there was a kind of bug we would be informed one or two days later and not one week.
Did you already try to clear/ wype Cache?

THX for this solution!

I found the solution to my issue regarding this as well. Apparently, if you change the device density, it will say device not compatible. I like running mine at 200 instead of default 240. So when I changed it back to 240, I was able to install/update all the apps.

Heeeeelllpp!!!
I convinced my girl to root her phone so i could "make it pretty" for her and well, part of my theming included changing the density down to 200. I used blade buddy to do it at first and it worked fine, except for the "device is not compatible" play store message. So i changed the density back to 240 again with blade buddy and it still gives me the incompatible message, even after wiping data from play store and rebooting with the default density! So i tried market enabler and that worked ONE time, now no matter what i do its not updating most of her apps and market enabler does nothing to help. Any suggestions, other than the obvious nandroid?

Did have.the same issue but only lasted a little while until rebooted.
Just wondering, have you tried logging out of your account and re entering it?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

Yes, i did login and logout from my account. I did solve my problem already though. apparently, when I played with the market tools in titanium I inadvertently linked several apps to google play that were not supposed to be linked in the first place. I had to go through them and unlink them via titanium and it fixed the problem. I downloaded MARKET FIXER to determine which apps needed to be unlinked.
Hope this thread would be of help to anybody who would experience the same problem.

I do wonder if they're tweaking some settings with the new play market... I did a hard reset (because I froze stock dialer.... Big mistake ;-) ) and since, on usual dpi settings that have always worked before, 200, 240, I'm getting the error my device is not supported... Googled it and there are a lot of new posts about this since the update. Dunno if it's related.
I do have titanium but have never touched the market settings...
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

This is an old issue and it is caused by the Gallery and a few other system settings being mistakenly linked to the Google Play market which leads to the removal of the apps in My Apps section.
Indeed the best solution is Market Fixer as the OP has discovered above and the link is below:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kstudio.marketfixer
You usually only need to remove the system app market links to get it to work. This procedure needs to take place after every firmware update too. Before the apps return after using the Market Fixer, you can download a free app and install it from the Market to refresh your apps.

Yes that works perfectly, but you have to know that now your google account is corrupted for life with those system apps liked to it. Now everytime you flash or update a rom, you will have to go through this to get back a functioning market... sucks big time. F***ing titanium backup, and me for being stupid and use it to screw with the market... oh well, I have good health so that is what is important, it's just a phone...
