I have been trying to install some Tecarta Bibles most of the day and get to the point where the app has been purchased and the "starting download" msg is displayed. I have waited and waited and waited for more than 15 minutes or so with that msg still displayed and then aborted the downloads.
After looking at the "my apps" page I see that two of the apps I bought several hours ago are still shown as downloading. While I am watching, one of the apps finished and installs, but the other one is still trying to finish downloading.
Is anyone else having this problem? Surely their servers aren't that bogged down.
Sounds like a connection issue.
No problems here on AT&T
Running on WiFi
I am running on wifi and everything else on the web downloads fast, so am at a loss.
Try clearing your market data.
Go to manage application, find market, then clear data.
android market has been slow-ish for the last 5 days and will probably be slow-ish for the next 5 days.
google are having a sale on the android market to celebrate 10 billion downloads. every day a different set of apps will be sold for 10c. at the moment we're up to day 5, so 5 more days to go.
Thanks

That got rid of the stuck download, thanks.
Now to figure out why my downloads are so slooooow!
That must be it
Not sure if the 10 cent downloads are worth the aggravation of the slow downloads. Haven't really checked to see what is offered for the 10 cents.
from two day,i have problem with Market
all my application installed,isn't show in "my Application" page...
i think there is a problem with server...
Anyone have same problem???
Missing Apps
I have that problem also, with one of the apps I downloaded today.
i have a problem too, i think is for this days, :S with the "1 billon downloads" because i can't download paid apps from market and from website market, well i think they don't want my 0.10 $ LoL

Just bought my Fascinate a couple days ago. This phone is sick, but my Market is spazzing out. When I signed into my Gmail account my apps didn't automatically restore like they're supposed to. I also only have tabs for Free and Just In, nothing for Paid and overall everything on it (the Market) runs very slow. I tried a factory reset to no avail, so I'm a little lost now...any ideas?
I believe the auto restore feature is a 2.2 feature. The other tabs you're used to seeing might be from 2.2 as well. We're running 2.1.
I actually had the same issue on mine while my wifes was fine. I just basically done a battery pull and when it came back up it was fine.
No, I know it's not because it's android 2.1. I had the droid before the fascinate which had 2.1 and it definitely had a tab for paid apps. That's not normal no matter what version of android it is. There's also the fact that it runs extremely slow that I can't figure out. It literally can take up to a minute to open an app page. =P
Run wifi while on market there has been some hiccups on vzw network the last few days and while in the market hit menu and then downloads. That will show all of ur paid apps
they call me...kick ass

I've been at work the past couple of days and we've got a WiFi connection that I use w/ my phone. It doesn't make a difference afaik. And I know my paid apps show up in my Downloads, but what I'm saying is if you go into Market, and pick an app category, there are only buttons for Top Free and Just In. There is nothing for Top Paid.
I had the same problem with mine when I had it. Just download one of your already purchased paid apps and it will fix the market issue

Didn't work. =[
Interesting twist, though. I reset my phone again and signed into a different Gmail account that doesn't have all my apps on it including purchased ones and it worked perfectly. Anyone have any idea why that may be, or would i be better off consulting Google on that one?
Dear all,
I've recently acquired the Galaxy Tab from UAE/Dubai. It doesn't have the Android Market which is really disappointing.
Does anyone know how to enable it? Like in the Galaxy S? (dial a number?)
I don't want to flash. It's too new to mess up
Thanks
Market enabler
Thanks. But it doesn't . When I choose "fake this provider", it says there is a problem.
Also from what I read, that is meant to allow paid apps. The problem is that the Android Market app is missing completely. Only SlideMe market is there.
hi,
maybe you can use this market app from this thread.
dont know if it will work though.
regards,
mike
Did you get it on Etisalat or operator free? Do you know where I can get it in Dubai not with operator contract? Thanks.
http://www.wipconnector.com/appstores lists all alternative market places by platform
Try MarketAccess from the andappstore
EDIT: Just done some reading and apparently vending.apk and market updater.apk cannot be pushed the normal way - you will have to install them via an update.zip.
hi,
the device was available last week during the gitex period in Dubai at around 3200 AED
maybe it's still available here, last time i checked at eros digital, its same price.
regards,
mike
Thanks, I was in last day of Gitexshopper, but none left, only in Etisalat booth with contract :-(.
Better luck next tinme, i'll wait
Cheers.
I was able to get it from Eros Mirdif. Reserved one by giving a down payment a while back.
It's a really nice tablet. Such a shame though. The market being missing and all. I was hoping the Galaxy S command would work, since they're almost identical. Sigh
Galaxy Tab
Got mine during GITEX, found it at Carrefour. Everyone else was out of stock on the very first day of launch.
No Android Market is very frustrating, lots of alternatives available. I am trying lots of different tricks to try and get market working. Will keep you guys posted
Please stick to the topic. Try this:
Install a file manager like.Estrongs or Astro from here: http://www.freewarelovers.com/android/app/estrongs-file-explorer
transfer it with bluetooth or USB to your phone and install.
After installing the FIle manager.
1. Go to internal memory root
2. navigate to /system/app
3. Locate Vending.apk
4. push on it to install it
It may force close the first time you run it but the second time it should work
If you still encounter Force Close or download issues. Do the following ( you might want to do it anyway as it is sometimes better to start with a clean slate)
1. Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications
2. Chose All
3. Find Market
4. Push on it and select Clear data
from droidforums
Ok. When I run Vending.apk, it says unable to parse package.
I cannot find "Market" in all Applications.
get the apk from one of the above posts and use that.

The second "Patched Vending apk" installs successfully. I can launch the market and find apps. BUT all download attempts FAIL.
I think we're almost there........

I think you have managed to install it just fine. There are LOADS of Market problems at the moment. A HUGE number of people can't download anything from the market (nor update old apps) and those same people managed just fine weeks ago.
I spend one hour on my wife's Desire yesterday trying to install Astro. It would just error with "Download unsuccessful" or "Download paused" or something like that. Then I just hit "Cancel Download" and try again. Eventually it usually works, but I had to try MANY, MANY times.
So, I think you're ok, you're just experiencing the same probs everybody else has now
(There's a multi-page thread of it in google help forums and apparently they know about it. beats me if they're willing to DO anything about it though.)
Pissed me off to no end when I finally introduced my brother to the Android side of things and Market wouldn't work at all! He has a HTC Hero that previously had had NO problems with Market...
tl;dr: Yes, it's probably installed ok. No, Market doesn't work for the rest of us either :/

lol. Nice to know. Pity about the Market though. For the time being, I just browse appbrain for apps. Then try my luck googling the .apks. Torrented some app bundles also. But all that is just too tiresome. I hope Google or Samsung does something about it.
I just bought mine from the Eros Group in Abu Dhabi. I'm pretty letdown that they're selling this expensive product without letting you know that one of its main features is disabled.
I am with you kristenm. It's ridiculous. I am surviving using torrents, google and applanet to get apps, but its such a pain cause there are still apps i cant find without the market. And even after i finally got the market app installed. It fails on all downloads.
Its such a nice tablet. But samsung is not doing this right. Each shop has like a piece or 2, no accessories and little to no marketing.

Ok first of all lt me start by saying I did search this, but couldn't find anything relating directly to my problem. So now I will ask here. A couple days ago I went into the market browsing apps. I didnt even install anything but I got the updates pending notification. So I go into the my apps screen and choose the update all method. Now I know this usually works kind of half way because I have some custom themed apps on my phone that won't update because I didn't install them through the market (I think). Anyway they all download fine but when the actual download completed they all just sort of paused and had that horizontal scrolling effect you see just before it starts the actual install, which I've gotten before just never with all of them at once. Anyway what I usually do is just cancel the download and start it up right there after the cancelling. This time I did it and it immediately force closed on me. And wouldnt even let me open the market at all w/o fc'ing. I've tried several different market apk's and only with the most recent update I found could I open the market at all. But even then it still force closes when I click an app to review it. Any ideas how I might troubleshoot this? Logs to look at or somethin? Help?
cd's or tapes?
Go to 'manage applications' and clear data/cache for both market and market update.
I couldn't find the market update apk for my rom. (Epic experience, rfs, froyo, btw..) but I did it for the market one and it had no effect.
cd's or tapes?
Try clearing data for 'download manager'
Sent from by Bonzai'd Epic 4g.
Still a no go. Do you think if I try a different google account?
cd's or tapes?
I'm out of ideas, the things I suggested have always worked for me, but I was not getting FC's. If I were you I'd wipe cache/dalvik and re-flash the ROM, you won't lose data.
Ok this happened to me a few roms ago. What worked for me was to open the google talk app, login to it, and that re synced my google account info with the market app. And then downloads would actually start downloading. I read this solution in a thread and forget the orig. poster or i would cite him. Hope it works for you.
Edit: after re reading your pos I think I might of jumped the gun on my reply. Maybe this won't work for you.

Did you have the "My Apps" section?
"my apps' gets replaced with "att" for branded phones. really annoying. If you hit menu and then downloads i believe that brings up the same screen as "my apps"

I wasn't updating for some reason so I went into manage apps then market.. had to clear cache / data. Went in to market for a few min then exited out and bam! new market when going back in.
It took about 10-20 minutes before it updated me from the old market to the new one.
So I've spent the last hour running logcats and Googling, but I can't seem to find an answer. When I start a download in the Play Store, it stays at "Downloading..." for around 2-5 minutes, then basically resets the download and it works. The logcats are saying stuff about logging slow HTTP requests (I saw around 23000ms response times) and not being able to find a file. It also switches the state from null to unqueued, then queued, then downloading, then success. It downloads and installs very fast after this.
I have no other ping/speed problems in any application. It leads me to think it's only the Play Store. The problem is I can't do anything about it unless I flash a different Play Store. Ugh. It took over an hour to download 40 apps when initially restoring my device. I wondered why it took so damn long.
Can anyone help?
Oh, forgot to mention, it takes >30 seconds for it to load the search predictions within the Play Store as well.
Oh yeah, and Facebook refuses to sign in. Sits there with the whole wheel slowly spinning and then says failed to authenticate, or something.
And yes, this is post-OTA.
Seems to be a WiFi driver issue, looks like DD-WRT or similar firmwares may be a factor as well. ANYONE please chime in!
Might be a play store issue. I've been trying for a while to install apps from Google Play but none of the free apps would download through my broadband internet. I disabled wifi, and now I can install free and paid apps.

It happens with more than just the Play Store, so I have to think it's a driver issue, or an API issue. The way some apps send packets must be messed up. Ugh.
