[Q] Market app install unsuccessful.

Just got a Galaxy Tab for work, boss isn't too happy after paying for it that I can't download anything from the market.
I'v tried everything on the forums, it's just been switched on new, no sim card, connected to the Wifi, can't get anything off the market (I'm using my GAFYD account).
Any help with suggestions on a quick fixed would be sincerely appreciated.
thanks guys.

Hi
Got mine off contract from PC World.
Market Place worked beautifully with no SIM in.
There are some oddities with some apps like Music Hub that insist on mobile data connection, but I don't think Market Place is one of them.
Can you see market place .. and select apps to download .... and it's just the install that fails ?
Which apps ?
I had a similar issue with some apps (not all) and my HD2 running 2.2 ... but not with the Tab so far.

Mines from PCWorld also,
I did two things, one of which has now fixed it:
First I did a factory reset from the settings menu, and second, I set up up this time wit ha straight up google account and not my "Google Apps for your Domain" address.
Don't know which solved it but it's fine now.
FYI: The error was the standard "Installation of ...... was unsuccessful" when selecting any app from the market.

FYI I use a Google Apps for Domains account and I did not have an issue, so I don't think that was your problem.

Thanks for the tip.
Can't believe how nice this thing is. I used android since g1 and I have a hero and desire, but this is a whole new experience!

[Q] Google Talk apk

I don't have google talk on my phone and I cannot find it in the market. Any ideas?

this one worked for me for MDJ_Revolution_HD_v._2.2_NAND so it might work for your build

if you cannot find stuffs on market, especially google stuffs, you need to fake your market to other carrier. i'm on wimno now, so cannot remember what is the apps, but you can search on forum on what's the name of the apps to fake your carrier. the first one in the list is tmobile i think, i keep using that to install anything form market.

i think this is it
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/market-enabler-v3-0-8-for-root-users/

@dennis- That worked form me!
@badai Still no Google Talk, I think it is just not there for some reason. Anyway thank you!

Market Issues (Wi-Fi Only)

I'm not sure if this is an issue in how my works Wi-Fi is set up and prohibiting me from connecting appropriately or if it's the Market itself.
Anyway I just got my Wi-Fi Xoom in today and immediately went to configure it to get apps and what not. I'm connected to my offices wi-fi and can browse the web, and get applications from Amazon's app store.
:
-- selecting apps to download/install doesn't do anything. The selected app won't show in "My Apps" I can't even get Maps to update.
Then randomly, the apps I have tried to download will somehow show themselves in "My Apps" under downloading, but they don't progress at all.
I've already tried to wipe it, close and wipe data from the market app, all to no avail. I'm really not sure what is going on.
The week prior I was using a colleagues xoom (3g version but 3g disabled), and had a similar problem as well, but eventually I had it working. I was given permission to wipe it and set it up as my own, so I don't know if the settings are messing with it from me using the other xoom with the same google account.
My office uses WPA2 Enterprise with a username and password, and have it set up in my Xoom as
Security: 802.1x EAP
EAP method: PEAP
Phase 2 Auth: None
Then my username and pass to connect.

Just curious... but because you are using the Amazon app store, have you checked the box "install from unknown sources"?

Correct. Since that's what allows for the apps to be installed from Amazon App Store.

Have you either used a file manager or plugged it into the USB on your computer, checked the root>downloads folder for the .apk files?

The only .apk files in there are the amazon app store.

Dunno what the problem could be then since its not a setting, but perhaps its a firewall issue in your office? Have you tried a different wifi connection completely to rule that out?

It is a firewall issue....I ran into the same problem when setting up a xoom in our network...

That's the only possibility I can think of. I've tried to share out my laptops connect see if going through that way would work, but no dice. Then using PdaNet on my iPhone, but won't even discover that network. I'll just have to wait till I get home.

At the apps download screen, try to hit cancel and download again, will that help?

Nope. The apps show the "install" option and then would sometimes go to downloading under "my apps" but then other times it won't do a thing.

Is not a network problem since i try in 3 different networks personals, corporate and tethering from Nexus S via T-mobile, here is a copy from Market help forums since i cant paste links in the forums.
I bougth the Xoom today ans I'm having issues with a lot of market applications. The message is Item not available for your carrier but I'm connecting via hotspot on my android smartphone an all aps are downloading OK. Why the apps work in one device and not in the Xoom if I'm using the same carrier? Please help

Are you by any chance in PR? I'm having the same issues on my Wifi Xoom. This is ridiculous!

Yes, I am. But I saw some posts also in the Motorola Support forums from another US users having issues with some apps. I think Moto mess up something. Please keep me posted in any possible solution or updates. Regards...

Ironic, Amazon App Store work great, im installing all the apps from Amazon until they fix the official market.

70% of the apps don't install in the Android Market or give messages of unsupported carrier.

If the issue you are having relates to your location being in PR.. how would you go about guessing that the OP is from PR as well?

I know but in the Support forums there are others in the US whit the same problem, anyway i've never had issues in the market in the past with my G1 and Nexus S.

Still waiting to see if the OP posts whether his problem was related to the wifi at his work, or if he is still having issues.. and what his locale would be.

Sorry for the late response as once I got home I was busy playing with my Xoom and then today was actually trying to get some work done .
So it's pretty much resolved at this point.
1) I'm in the states. Northeast to be somewhat exact.
2) Definitely my work's network. As soon as I connected to my home network all of the apps I tried to install at work but weren't showing up, queued right up and got to downloading.
Come in to work today, and try downloading an app. And wouldn't you know it, the damn thing downloaded and installed just fine! It seemed like another one was going to resort back to the results I had yesterday, but tried again and it worked fine. Definitely odd.
Not sure if there was some sort of handshake that wasn't working with my xoom and the Android market while in the office on first use yesterday or what, but things are looking good now.
Thanks for your responses. While nothing was done from what I can see to fix it, I appreciate the help.

Make sure your DNS provider is actually forwarding all the right Netflix domains... I know mine was missing one (android.nccp.netflix.com specifically) that the other android apps apparently don't seem to use...

Thanks! i changed my dns to unblock-us's

Different Problem but...
I have been having problems with the Netflix app on my nexus player as well. It has been giving me a popup that says "We are currently unable to play this title. Please try again later or watch something else" Or something along the lines of that. When I hit more details, and then hit check connection, the nexus player cannot connect to any of the Netflix servers. I'm pretty sure it isn't a connectivity problem, because I have on occasion given up and just browsed YouTube for a while, but I would like to know if there's a way to fix this. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, fandas.

rebooting made it work for me.

i have the same problem check the dns ok working on my computer and ipad but not on nexus player always says "We are currently unable to play this title. Please try again later or watch something else"

Follow the directions on unblockUS for changing the DNS on your router rather than your device. This should solve the problem.
Good luck

When I would transfer my player to another room or bring it to a friend's house I would run into that issue. The fix for me was just simply sign out of my Netflix account and signing back in.

Yes that right

Guide works, but when I get into Play after entering my user name and password, it just says "No Connection" and gives a Retry button. I've uninstalled and reinstalled everything, rebooted, etc and I keep getting that. My Wi-Fi is on and working. Any ideas?

Nice work!
I posted a similar way to get Google Play working without root on Fire OS 5, and a mod asked me to remove links, but it seems the mod deleted my post. Great work anyway.

I used the version in the guide. Do you know if there is a compatible, older version linked somewhere?

I'm having the same issue. Anyone find a fix?

This only works on the 5th Gen 7" Model. Will not work on the 7" HD Model.

Cool. I am mostly looking to install some good weather app and turn my tablet into an always on weather station. Being my first Fire tab I'm not really sure how to get there. But this looks like a path for me!
I'm thinking I just want to install SOme weather app (there are a bunch) and set it up to never sleep, and always run the app when tablet boots (there are several apps in the play store that do this).
Any thoughts for a newbie?

Yes you have to sign up for the developer program to get the update. Sign in to amazon and then go to this link https://developer.amazon.com/public/solutions/platforms/android-fireos and on the right side is a orange developer sign up button. Follow through those steps and you'll get the update.
