I'm not sure how it happened, but the official Google marketplace just doesn't work anymore.
On Bell Atrix, 2.3.6, Stock.
The Marketplace loads up fine, by when I go into my apps it just doesn't list anything. Not my installed apps, not my purchases, nothing. I can download apps just fine, but nothing then gets linked to my apps.
I have tried my account on 2 other devices(galaxy nexus and asus transformer), and it works fine. I have also tried someone else's account on my phone and that works.
I have tried a factory reset, and it the marketplace v2.3.6 works for the first login. But after it just gives the following error.
"A server error has occurred. retry, or cancel and return to the previous screen"
Retry just loops the error, with no success, and cancel just returns me to the marketplace's main page
After the marketplace updates, when I go to my apps I just get a generic white page w/my google account and 2 buttons to go to either the game or apps section.
This site lists the exact same issue I'm having. No fixes though =/

Try erasing market's cache, or using a different market version.

I have the same issue. Nothing worked for me soo far... The only think you can do is to install cm7, cm9 or miui. It works on these roms just fine.

I was hoping to avoid that. Blasphemy, I know, but I like being on stock.
Have you tried returning to stock, and seeing if it works?

I emailed Android Market Support on friday when it started. They emailed back asking for more information pretty quickly.
However, I haven't heard anything, since responding to the initial email.
https://support.google.com/androidmarket/bin/request.py?contact_type=market_phone_tablet_web
Try submitting a request. It might not account to anything, but it may make them realize others are having the issue also
Try erasing market cache and then deleting /data/data/com.android.vending/databases/market_assets.db with some file manager. After rebooting market should work properly(but you may need instal something or restore links using TiBu) at least for while
EDIT: I have this error from ca. 1,5-2 months, reported it and google did exactly nothing about this issue
Ok, this has worked for me so far. My fingers are crossed that it'll be a permanent fix.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1458670
1) Go to Market Tools -> Market Doctor and Unlink all User & System apps.
2) Reboot device.
3) Open any Root Explorer or Browser and locate and delete the file "market_assets.db" in "/data/data/com.android.vending/databases".
4) Reboot device.
5) Go to TB Pro and to Market Tools -> Market Doctor -> User Apps and link all the User Apps that you installed on your device from the Android Market. Make sure that no System App is linked.
6) Reboot device.
7) Install a free app
Looks like that was only a temp fix, because the issue came right back this morning....

I am having this problem recently. I try to download any app or an update to any app. It will just sit at starting download and never download.
I am on Fresh ROM 1.0
I did update some apps after installing the ROM so that's not the problem.
I also have a problem that if I clear the cache, when I reboot Everything force and keeps force closing forever. Whats up with that? isn't the cache supposed to recompile on reboot?
I tried clearing the cache to fix the market issue to no avail (beacuse of all the force closes never got to see what happened after clearing cache). I tried clearing the cache from recovery and using Fresh's app installer,and both times tons of force closes.
Someone please HELP!
U probably need to login to gtalk. I had the same problem from using autostarts. Jus open the gtalk app, it will/should sign u in automatically.
this is not a gtalk issue. gtalk is not even related to what problem he has. i had it happen to me on my eris when i was playing around in the bootloader. when i started back up everything force closed and would not start. only sugetion i can give you on the force close it is a factory reset or ruu reset both will work. as far as downloads not starting are you rooted?
Yes, to install a custom ROM you need to be rooted. Tried the gtalk sing in to fix the Market issue and no dice. Still hanguing...
Anything else??

So I'm not going to call you out or something, but please read before you speak. Gtalk is MAJORLY tied in to the market and it is a documented fix from google themselves to try signing in to gtalk to fix stalled downloads.
Even though it doesn't work for everyone (depending on the reason it's stalled) it IS related.

Hundreds (maybe thousands?) of posts. Starting back in March and dating all the way until today. Google hasn't been able to resolve the issue. I can tell you that what has always worked for me is a combination of cancel download > disable wifi > disable mobile data > enable mobile data > try download again.
Didn't work? Reboot and repeat. Eventually it will go......
Thanks a lot flipz. I'll try that

95% of the time your second sugestion works. it may be that gtalk has major issues with stalled downloads but ussually i have this issue when i start my download over wifi for some reason it just never connect to the google server but when i kill the download and connect over 3G or Edge it works everytime on my G1. that's been a documented fix too. this issue only happens more frequently on custom roms than stock android roms. so it's more of a rom issue that googe issue. we're all here to help each other not trash talk each other. from my point of veiw gtalk may have some type of issue but it's more with the rom cooks than the app itself and it's not their fault either gtalk was desighned to work on googles cookie cutter os not on the home brew roms so errors happen you just have to know how to sweat talk your andoid to doing things when issues happen. the problem i had with your post was you only stated the gtalk issue when the wifi issue is more prevelent. i wasn't sure if he was on stock os or custom os so i asked about it. then i would have given him the instructions on turning off the the wifi, killing the downloads, and restarting the phone. like you told him to in the second post cause that seem to work better than the gtalk method.

sorry. i did not read your post clearly thought when you said fresh you ment fresh install. haven't really been keeping up with the hero roms to much and thier names still waiting for my eris to get it's turn at root. when i saw your post it just reminded me of how my rooted G1 would not start downloads over wifi. so i asked rooted or not just to be on the safe side.
the thing that got me a little heated was when he said "not to call you out" then he goes into a trist about how wifi seems to be the better fix.
by the way did you get your problem fixxed?

I ended up factory resetting and now everything downloads normally
So... apps were downloading perfect from market UNTIL I restored a nandroid backup. Afterwards, Apps hang again. I mean exactly after restoring, went to the market and the problem is there again. Can the problem be tied to restoring backups? Or just coincidence?
Update:
Got the downloads working after clearing the cache of every single google application on the phone as well as IM.
After this, started downloading the app and it still hung. Opened gtalk and exactly as it signed in it started downloading fine.
I tried the afore mentioned fixes and had no luck, so for anyone who has this issue and has not been able to resolve it, this is another workaround.
Just FYI to anyone still with problems, I had problems again today EXACTLY after restoring a backup again.
This post I quoted by Zippy-man did the trick today Great Help..

OK so I went from having force closing problems to wifi problems and now it's market problems I'm slowly getting better at this. So when I want to download something on the market it starts, downloads to 10 percent and just stops and I have no idea. This happens almost every 5 or so downloads and I once cleared cache an it worked for just one application and that's it. Thanks for your help guys

[Q] marketplace not working
as of today my android marketplace hasnt worked... i click an app to download and install and it starts the download then the thing just disappears from my notification bar and it never actually installs on my device. ive tried this on several different apps, including some that i have downloaded before but decided to uninstall, yet the problem remains. im running cm7 nighty #35 if thats any help. can anyone explain whats up?
First thing I would try is to clear Market cache by going to Settings > Applications > Manage applications > All > Scroll down to Market, select Force Stop then Clear cache, and try downloading the app again.
yeah i had tried that. but no luck, it didnt work. i guess maybe itll fix itself when i update my rom. i dont know
Drum doesn't work did that already I think it's the rom maybe they will fix it soon...

I was having an issue with it as well (but i'm on cm7, if it makes a diff). I did the clear cache/stop updates method which worked great the first time. Then the issue happened again, i cleared cache and rebooted, worked fine. THEN i had the issue again, (but i noticed it seems to have happened after using the clean feature in sd maid). Removed sd maid, cleared cache, havent had a problem since.
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.
Hi,
First time posting here. I've been searching around but I can't seem to find anyone with this issue. Which means I'm likely making a rookie mistake.
I've been running CM7 for a while now w/o issue. Decided to look into the state of ICS and found out JB is where it's at. So I decided to give it a whirl based on some successful posts about it, even at an early stage. I used a 8GB SD and on my latest attempt, I loaded cm-10-20121204-NIGHTLY-encore and gapps-jb-20121011-signed onto EMMC. Afterwards, it booted up fine, got connected to the wifi and looked great. Somewhere along the way, something happens that causes Android to popup a dialog saying it's updating. After that's done, soon after I get a popup that "Unfortunately, Gmail has stopped working." When I open a browser, it immediately closes. If I try the Play store, it pops up, "Network error - retry". So it's like a part of the android comm "stack" gets busted on that update. Weird thing is that if I run the Google search app, it returns results from the web, so some connectivity is still there. But when I click a link, the browser pops up for an instant then closes again. I tried clearing caches, doing resets, reflashing gapps, etc. Nothing seems to work. Is there a log I can activate to maybe get more details?
I've probably tried out 5 installs now, using various recently nightly's up until 1204 w/similar results. I just can't figure out what triggers the update. I even tried w/o installing gapps. In that case, I sent myself a link to the Amazon android app, using the email setup. It installed and I could get apps downloaded and running w/o issue. But eventually after a reboot, android updated and I was right back at the gmail failed mesg, even though I hadn't installed gapps. On another try, I had installed and when I reformatted the SD card, it updated after the reboot and same result.
So, I guess I just don't have a clue at this point as to why this update runs, nor do I know what it changes to break the device. After going rounds w/it for about a week or so, I gave up and reloaded my old 7 image. I'm willing to try again if anyone has a clue what I can do.
Thanks

Did you do a factory reset with recovery before you booted into CM10? It sounds like you have some old apps like Gmail staying on there. Coming from CM7 you really need to wipe first.

Just bought this phone from someone off swappa. I put all my apps on it, but while doing the setup I found that the Camera app and the Essential Resources app show updates available on Google Play. However, when I try to install them, I get 505 errors for both. 150 other apps installed just fine, but I can't install these 2 essential apps. Weird thing is, I checked the most recent version of the camera app available on the play store (0.1.067) and compared it to the one on my phone and it's the same version! Yet it says update on the play store. I looked for 'essential resources" under apps on my phone and I can't even find it at all.
Is it possible that the guy who sold me the phone modified the software somehow and that's what is causing the problems I am having? I want to update the essential resources app so that more apps can use the full screen.
Lastly, I tried to enter recovery by holding the power+volume down button when I start the phone. The menu comes up and I select recovery and all I get is a "no command" error along with the android with an exclamation point. Is there another key sequence I need to press at that point to get into recovery? I'm trying to clear the cache.

Just clear cache and data on play store application and see if that resolve your problem.

Did that. No dice. Also removed my Google account and readded it. Still doesn't work. I installed the whitelist editor and used the adb commands to enable it. I hope whatever the previous owned did doesn't prevent me from receiving OTA updates.

The best suggestion with this phone is to do a factory reset, and set up the phone as new. Don't install anything from a back up or another device.
I believe I found the reason. I bought this phone off Swappa. It appears it's running a test build of the software somehow. NMI75B test-keys. I believe this is the reason the apps don't update. I have no idea why the phone updated to this build OTA, but I've seen a few other threads here and on Reddit where others have this build also.

I believe I found the reason. I bought this phone off Swappa. It appears it's running a test build of the software somehow. NMI75B test-keys. I believe this is the reason the apps don't update.

Has nothing to do with your build

I suspect it has to do with the playstore

Respectfully, I think you're wrong. I downloaded and have updated 150+ non-system apps to this phone without issue. Only 3 system apps won't download and update without giving me 505 errors. The 3 apps are Camera, Essential Services, and Essential Resources. I believe that the test build of the firmware I am using is the culprit. All 3 are system apps. In addition, I've already tried all 505 error remedies to try and fix the problem and they don't work for these 3 apps.
