NOW I can't download any apps from the market...

My Fascinate is rooted properly
Since then, I've installed SetCPU and Titanium Backup from the market...
Shortly after, my phone stopped being able to Download Apps from the Market...
So I uninstalled both programs
The Market says "Currently Downloading" but the Taskbar never shows it happening, and the little download bar in the App spins for a while and just stops.
I even left a simple game downloading overnight to no avail
I also tried clearing all the caches- download manager, market, etc...
Help!

Try canceling your downloads, logging into Talk, then trying again? Or cancel downloads, reboot, log into google Talk, then open Market

having the same prob

I had the same problem. Clearing all the cache and data for market and google apps worked for me.Though a google search has revealed results may vary.

This happens to me and many many people ALL THE TIME. The worst part is that there is never one reason why this happens or one fix. You just have to be lucky. I AM GETTING SICK AND TIRED OF THIS HAPPENING TO ME AND EVERYONE ELSE. Hopefully when froyo comes or something it will not happen anymore.

what does google talk do?

@billypunk81 That is a quick google for an answer.
And in the future please use the general forum for any and all questions. Unless you are developing something don't start a thread here.
Also give this a read.
good day.

I had same issue and nothing helped. I froze 'Market' and 'Market Updater' from Titanuim then thawed both right away. Started working after that.

Check and make sure Background Data is on. Maybe it got turned off somehow.

Try removing the 2.2 Market if you have it installed. That's what did it for me.

I ran into this situation when I mistakingly restored the 2.2 Market after flashing jt's clean ROM. To solve this, I removed Vendor.apk and reflashed jt's clean ROM. That fixed things for me.

Apps show in market as installed even though they are NOT

Have tried cache clean and everything. This is also listed as a problem to others, but I have found no solution. Any suggestions?

try a hard reset

Well, i got a different problem. Today when accessing the market, when i go to my apps it only shows YouTube app as installed, no other app, even though i got a dozen of apps installed from the market. But if i scroll through apps in the market they appear as installed. Strange, as i didn't delete data or cache from market app

Market Issues

Is anyone else having issues with the Market? For the last few days it keeps saying I have updates available for the same 8 apps Angry Birds, Titanium Backup, Evernote, etc. I've updated them and then the next day the same apps have updates available. Today there were additional apps that needed updates along with the same group. Anyone else have this problem?

Wipe data and cache...that may help!
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

I wiped cache, didn't help but did speed up my Market app. I'll wipe data after my phone charges since it just died.
new update, so I decided to try and update individually, after selecting Angry Birds for instance inside it only has options for Open and Uninstall. So it seems internally it knows its up to date but in the list view it doesn't.

What is happening to you is definitely freaky. I would try to wipe the app cache and then use cache cleaner and clear all of the caches. Then i would reboot and see what happens.

Update: deleted cache and data. Deleted backup of Market app in Titanium and deleted data of Market through Titanium also. Restarted phone and now works normal.
Quick note, last night i let the phone's battery drain fully and charged it over night. Turned it on this morning and it went into Recovery. Restarted phone and ot started up normal. There seems to be a gremlin lurking somewhere.

Update again: well thought it was fixed. But happened again, this time had 2 updates and first one was fine but second one which was Sketchbook Express only had the Open and Uninstall option! Maybe I should've just used the update all. Emailed Android and they suggested uninstalling Market updates and it will update back to latest market version in a few days. They said if it happens again to email them again.
Old market works fine for now. Saw Sketchbook had an update and updated it. We'll see how this goes and keep you guys updated. If this keeps up maybe I'll just reset the whole phone and go to CM7.

I am having similar issues. For some reason only paid apps show is the "My Apps" list. After installing and uninstalling a single app all apps show, but only temporarily. This is getting really annoying.
I have also seen that google does know about the problem, but im not sure how that will help lol

Must have something to do with the latest market and handling videos. Well atleast I know I'm not alone now.

[SOLVED] Apps saying not installed, but they are.

In my market, it says i have all these apps not installed. But they are all installed. When i click on them it doesnt say install, it says open. The apps run fine n are in my drawer. Is there a way to fix this? Its just really annoying when my "Pro" keys arent being used. Like, titanium backup says im using the free version when i have the pro version installed, same for my launcher pro key.

EDIT: can this be moved to the Q&A section, accidentally put in general. Thank you.

Same thing with me... google maps, youtube, and a few others are in the Not installed section, but when you select them it says installed, and you only have the option to open. I'm assuming they are still being checked for updates when I open Market... at least I hope they are. More annoying than anything else. Any thoughts?

Open up the "Manage Applications" and find Market. Clear the cache and reopen. Should show up now. Had to do that on mine.

First screenie is it saying i have the pro key installed. 2nd screenie is of TiBackup saying i dont. Taken in the same minute.

I have the same problem, and agree it is annoying.
It started happening when I did a titanium backup after unlocking. So I guess there must have been some problem syncronizing with market after.
I have solved the problem by uninstalling the applications that were listed as needing updates even though they were already updated. And when reinstalled, the notification went away. It's not a very elegant way of fixing the problem, I know.
If anyone else has a better solution, please advise.

I learned this method from another forum (can't remember where); it always works for me:
Exit all applications on the phone
Home > Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > All
Market: Clear Cache, Clear Data (OK)
Google Services Framework: Clear Cache, Clear Data (OK)
Reboot your phone
Open Market app and Accept the TOS
Market > Settings > Content filtering > Set level > Show all apps (OK)
Market > My Apps: no more missing apps, or false positives for updates
I've tested this many times with the new Market app on my AT&T phone in both stock GB and piCRUST. It always fixes the display of installed apps within the Market app itself. But the list of apps showing on the Market web site under My Account (https://market.android.com/account) may not be immediately updated with the results. Sometimes the Market web site will be updated later rather than sooner, or only partially rather than completely. But this local fix will usually affect the web listing to at least some degree.
(Space reserved for future rant on market web site lameness...)

Did it, now i get a server error everytime i open the market. Just reinstall apk of new market?
EDIT: just used task killer to kill it all then retried n it worked. All my apps are saying installed. Thanks so much.

I see that error occasionally after using this fix, but I also sometimes see it after re-flashing the phone, and after other seemingly unrelated actions. It usually goes away for me if I just turn on wireless first before opening the Market app (no need to reinstall it). I think it's related to some error in the app or settings initialization, and not specific to this clean-up routine or anything else.
And yes, I've found that using a task killer also seems to help. Maybe indicative of another app blocking the Market from opening correctly at first run? I don't know, but once it goes away it doesn't seem to come back.

Thanks, this worked flawlessly.

Could I suggest you add "Solved" to the title of this thread so others that might have the same issue could use this?

Got it. Ive had to re do this fix after my phone shuts off, so its not permanent on my device. It might be for you, either way, it fixes it for awhile.

One other thing that will confuse the Market about what's kosher: using a non-standard LCD density.
In my case I had hard-coded build.prop to set ro.sf.lcd_density=300 and ever since I did that the Market website kept telling me that most of the apps I'd previously installed were not compatible with my Atrix 4G(!) My workaround was to revert to the default ro.sf.lcd_density=240 and then use the "LCDDensity" app to temporarily set it to 300. Whenever I need to go to the Market for something I just reboot the phone first and it reverts back to the default setting in build.prop.
If you've got it the other way around (e.g. build.prop is using a non-default setting, and you're using LCDDensity to override this back to the default), then that might explain why you're seeing this Market mischief return on reboot.
Even if you're not using LCDDensity (or you're using something else like "LCD Density Changer" which can make these changes permanent), you might want to check your current LCD density. Ditto for other property settings that might not be using their defaults.
Here's a list of all the things that the Market looks for to determine if a particular phone is compatible with an app:

Android Market showing apps as not installed

Hi there,
For some strange reason when I go to my apps in the android market the list on the left hand side shows all the apps I have on my device, but it says that they are not installed! I have the option to install them again (even though they are installed) but when I press install it just opens the app instead but the list does not change it just still looks like it's not installed.
it's like the market is not recognizing that I have the apps installed. I know it seems very confusing.
Any body else encountered this problem befor?

Try clearing the app cache for Market.

This.
Randomly happened to me a few days ago. Said my mobile had nothing in it. If you try and install via web browser, it will say this error.

Tried clearing the cache but it's still the same. Tried installing through the browser but it's still the same, I get an error saying app already exists.
lists still show nothing is installed even though they are! lol!
This market really has some strange behaviour :-\

Just fixed it... I had to completely remove my Google account in the settings and set it all back up and re-sync everything.
Thanks for your help
