[Q] My X8 can't connect to market

Hi guys, newbie here and i just had my x8 for a week. upgraded it to 2.1 and had it rooted as well.
now the problem is, i can't seem to connect to Android market. i have a google account and its working but i keep on getting the below message whenever i try the market. i can connect to the internet and browse with no problem at all
i saw some threads on other units experiencing the same problem and they said that reseting the phone will fix this. now my question is, will this also work on my x8? once i had the phone reset, will it also erase my 2.1 and root update??
please help guys! thanks a million!
Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server.
This could be a temporary problem or your sim card may not be provisioned for data services. If it continues, call customer care.

Happened to me once with incorrect APN settings. That was after a factory reset. Same scenario, can browse the internet and all. But I'm using an x10. Might be worth checking additional APN settings with your network provider.

Can't update angry birds

It downloads it but when it's supposed to install it I just says something like "Error with download"

I didn't have any problems. I have uninstalled the previous version, downloaded the 1.5.2 version from the market, install it and that's it.

I uninstalled it and it still won't work :/

I don't know what else can you do about it except a factory reset or a sdcard format. But it is to much just for a game. It is your choice.
Or search for the .apk file it self and install it from the sdcard.
Cheers

Quick as they are, they pushed a new update ("1.5.2"').
Recent update;
- Fixed a issue which prevented updating version 1.5.1 on some devices.

[Q] no working market on stock 3.2 ROM

Hi
Having some physical AZERTY keyboard issues with Taboonay 2.2 (great ROM), I decided to come back to stock 3.2 ROM, wich I did (downloading it from here).
But the problem now is that my market does not want to download anything, keeping stuck on "Preparing to download" or something like that...
Did some of you have this issue ?
How to solve it ?
Thanks
Nico

Restart the device, log into Gtalk and then try downloading from the market.

Might need a different version of the market app. If the above trick doesn't help, let me know, and I'll get you a good working version with instructions how to install it. I sometimes get that same error (stuck at downloading), but usually I have to cancel it several times, and eventually it get's going. Pretty sure with me, it's the Market site. They've only put out about 50 different versions of it, and when you get one that works, disable the auto update. Hopefully that stops it from updating to a newer version that doesn't work.

The market site is already a good alternative, but not very easy when I want to download many apps at once...

Rule number 1. Never download and install multiple apps. Sure way to "clog" the system. 1 at a time bro.

arf, the solution above does not work for me...

Ok, here is the market app I use.
I'm an old fashioned guy, so heed the instructions,
I assume you are rooted.
1. Using root explorer, or a file manager that has root access, rename you current "vending.apk" to like "oldvending.apk"
2. copy my market.apk into system/app folder.
3. Rename the market.apk to vending.apk (you probably need to only change the first name).
4. With your file manager, you can check the permissions (long press). Make sure your vending.apk has the same permissions as other files in the directory. Click the box as needed.
5. Reboot your tablet.
6. Go to Settings/applications/application manager, and delete the cache's.
7. This will make you log in to google market again when you start the app.
Should work, as the same version works for me.
EDIT: XDA, seems not to be able to handle attachments just now. They seem overloaded...... They can only handle about 200 users at any one time.

I had the same issue and I solved it with http://codekiem.com/apk-downloader - it'll download the APK for you so:
1) Get the Device ID app (it's mentioned in the link)
2) Install the Chrome addon and enter your details as well as your device ID
3) Relaunch Chrome with the --ignore-certificate-errors command line switch
4) Go to the Google Play download page and press the download button in the address bar
5) Transfer the APK to your A500 and install it in the normal way
Worked for me

Same problem here, but no idea how to solve it. I'm running flexreapers R10 ICS Rom.

Instagram is compatible with HC 3.2x without modifications or GC. I would guess, it's not fully compatible with the Beta ICS in general. At least not without some modifications.
No problems under 3.2.1 a501. Downloaded from Play, works like a champ.

Instagram latest update got no problem with leak ics already.

HD10 Netflix App Stopped Working

The Netflix app (v7.39.0) on my HD10 7th-generation (Fire OS 5.3.7.0) stopped working, displaying the error message: "Sorry, we could not reach the Netflix service. Please try again later. (-9)".
Resetting and reinstalling the app didn't help.
Netflix works just fine on my other tablets and Roku.
Anyone else is having this issue?
Is it a consequence of the latest Fire OS update and/or Netflix app version update?
Pointers/suggestions for solution would be greatly appreciated.

I found that the issue has been reported, no resolution as yet:

https://www.amazonforum.com/s/question/0D54P000072KJBtSAO/netflix-app

Does anyone have the 7.30 Netflix app I can sideload to downgrade please?

I had this same problem, but on my wife's HD 8 (previous generation) This happened after the most recent OS Update. I would get the same message as what you got (-9). I tried all methods ... clearing cacche, data, and even uninstalled.
Read on another forum that Google Frameworks/Play maybe the culprit, so I uninstalled the four Google APKs that was necessary for Google Play store. Afterwards, Netflix works again. the funny thing is, while I still had Google Play installed, I cannot find Netflix from the Store. I had to install from Amazon Appstore.
Another interesting point .. my HD10 was not affected, I can still pull up Netflix, eventhough O/S was also updated. I haven't installed the Google files back yet, so will see it Netflix continues to work after Google Play is back.
Hope this helps!

Older versions can be found at https://apkpure.com/netflix/com.netflix.mediaclient/versions, but recent versions seem to only come in archived file format xapk (for which I have not found a simple way to install).

I installed this version of netflix:
w w w. apkmirror. com / apk/ netflix-inc/ netflix/ netflix-6-26-1-build-15-31696-release/
Is working normal even with google apps

You're right, I found these too. If you uninstall your current version and use a xapk installer app to load 7.30 it will work again. Other versions may be ok too but this is the only one I tried based on what someone posted elsewhere. I have now also turned off auto app updates in the Playstore. Apkpure do an installer.

To download APKPure xapk files, use the APKPure app available at https://apkpure.com/apkpure/com.apkpure.aegon. I found that if I download an xapk file to my PC then copy it over to my HD then I would get parsing error using the XAPK Installer app (available at https://apkpure.com/xapk-installer/com.apkpure.installer) to install it.
Once an xapk file is downloaded to the tablet it can be installed using either the APKPure app itself or the XAPK Installer app.

My mistake ... My HD10 Netflix was eventually updated to version 7.39 and it did not work afterward. I uninstalled the Google Apps (Framework/Services/Play store) and Netflix works again. I then re-installed the Google Apps, but while Netflix continues to work, the Google Apps no longer function. It has an "error reaching server ... blah,blah" message.
Seems like you either get Netflix, or Google Play store, but not both. For now, I uninstalled the Google services.

Link to Netflix v7.38 xapk file download.
See my post above re: xapk file installation.

Definitely has something to do with the Google stuff. I uninstalled the play store, it started working. I reinstall the play store it breaks again. Perhaps it's Amazon's version of the app that's checking for non Amazon app stores? Very interesting. Perhaps if we could get Netflix from the Google play store that could fix the issue. But for some odd reason it doesn't show up.
Edit: just to confirm, I only had to uninstall the play store. Not everything. I guess i can always install the play store when i need to install something new.

My Solution for this Problem was to install Netflix 7.38 via the APKPure App and i disabled auto-update for the Amazon Appstore, the Play Store can keep auto-updating since as far as it is concerned Netflix isn't installed on the device so it won't try to update it. Also for the ones that weren't aware, if an App is marked as incompatible with an Android Version it won't appear in the Play Store of Devices with those Android versions and it appears that the Netflix App is marked as incompatible with the FireOS versions, thus you can't download it via the Play Store. At least that is my understanding of how it works.
So far Netflix works just fine and my Fire just notified me that the Amazon Appstore would like to update it but i just swiped it to the side and ignored it, we'll see how it'll work out.

Has anyone tried the latest Netflix update released on 02/22?
