Guys,
I have installed and uninstalled Skype and now get the following error everytime I switch the device on:
"Cannot execute \Prgogram Files\Skype for PocketPC\skype.exe"
have queried the registry, have again installed and uninstalled skype but still, the error is there ...
so any other idea, before I have to perform a hard reset?
I have the same problem. I've submitted a support request to Skype today. If I get any useful response, I'll post it here.

and you are sure that there are not shortcut in windows\startup ?
to it
yeah - no shortcuts - I tried everything....
installed skype today again (for the 10th time) and uninstalled...
didn't get the errors a couple of times - but after the first soft reset: there it is again..
I don't have a clue....
I had some startup shortcuts wich I wans't sure what they did. As a test, I moved all these shortcuts to another folder, leaving startup empty. After soft reset, the Skype problem persists, so it's not a startup issue unfortunately.

Solved
No response from Skype, but from their own forum it appears they've been aware of this at least since last October, but haven't fixed the software release. Skype's great, but I suppose uninstall problems are to be expected from the same people who brought you Kazaa....
Anyway, I solved the problem using this free utility:-
http://www.scarybearsoftware.com/ppc_cn_overview.html
Download CheckNotifications, run it and delete any entry for Skype.exe.
Looks like this app can also speed up machines which may have slowed due to accumulating Notification logs when soft resetting.
I don't get the ntification anymore. I'm relieved as I was on the point of hard-resetting.
Hope it works for you too.

Today I received my new shiny Asus Transformer, everything works great except the Market itself...
I can't even download any apps, paid or free. When I try to download any apps, it start like trying to download, but there is no progress on notification bar and it just keep like that.
I reset the tablet several times, also, cleaned the cache of the Market and Framework services, shutdown (restart) several times... nothing
Is this happening to anyone? I searched this forum and performed the steps above, but still nothing...
Please, help
Have you look into My App area, you will see, not installed list of apps. I get that as well...I am not sure if it's a bug or intended. Sometimes, it would stay at download forever. I got to go out and go back into the Market and redo it all over.

Yes, sometimes the apps I am trying to download don't even appear there and sometimes it does. When it says "Installing" sometimes, 1 hour can pass and still nothing... no progress on the notification bar.
In fact, I can't install anything from there, not even using the website version, https://market.android.com/
I had/have this same issue I think its a bug in the market app. I've just flashed the new firmware and it seems to work OK now.
My solution was to press back over and over until I exited the market fully, then start a new instance of it. Works on and off.
Ill let you know if the update solves this issue.

Thanks for the info.
I tried that, still no luck I need to know if this is a widespread issue or not.
I have the EVO and tried to download apps and install them now without any problems.
Also, I have discovered that I can't log in into GTalk either, but I can browse without any issues.

Sounds like an odd issue with your account. Try to check settings, accounts an sync .. and see if anything is amiss. If not, then try to create a new gmail account, and use that to login to market/gtalk. See if there is some confusion as to your phone account and your tablet. Do you have settings>Privacy ticked off for google to back up your apps and sync them? Try disabling if so.
Had same issue and went into settings and had to delete my gmail account and then add it again, worked fine after that!
Thanks for the replies.
1. The Backup and Restore settings are turned off.
2. I have created another Google account and removed the original, still the same problem.
3. The EVO is currently off just in case.
After doing some research, I've discovered that Gtalk have something to do with the Market, if Gtalk can sign in, then the market should works for downloads. If not, then there is a problem.
ok... wtf
After adding a new Google account while replacing the original one, the issue still happened.
Then, I decided for a million times, to make another Factory Reset with my original account again... now GTalk logon and the Market download/install apps
I will keep this thread in mind and report if anything weird happens again.
Android Market hates me. I didn't really want to have to create another gmail account but I have tried every other trick posted and still can't get apps to download.
I had this same problem with my Samsung Fascinate. 3G would download fine but I couldn't get WiFi to work until just recently when I updated the radio that came with the OTA Froyo update plus a new custom rom/kernel. I'm not sure which piece all of the sudden made things work but I was certainly happy. What's so frustrating is that I set up a Droid on the same home network with absolutely no problems from day one.
Amazon App store works fine but many of the apps I want aren't available there. Grrr.

This occurred to me after rooting the TF. I was able to correct it by going into applications and force stop and clearing data on both Market and both google framework services. Then try to restart market, if you don't get a error go back to applications and do it again. Once you get the error reboot, when you try market after the reboot it will ask you to accept terms again and then all is was right again with the world.
I have the same problem. How I can do a Factory Reset?
It was working ok but now it gives an error with the server. Eventually it will download the aplication after trying several times but will fail in the instalation. I have deleted and created again my account with no results.
Welcome to my problem. Another member told me the issue lies with our google accounts and how it syncs up with the market.
I have tried the other methods deleting cache / signing in and out etc. to no avail.
Only solution is to factory reset. Sad thing is it has happened to me 3x in the past 5 days.
I only hope for a solution to this soon.
3 times, that is scary.
Something has surprised me when I upgraded my phone to the new Galaxy S 2 from HTC HD 2 running an Android rom. When I introduced the google account it automaticaly pointed me all the aplications that I had installed in the old phone (free or paid) and give me an easy option to install all quickly. They were identified as my aplications, even they were not installed.
Is this funtion present here? It will remember what aplications I had installed in the transformer before or I will need to look for all of them again?
solution to download apps
press on apps on the home screen. then press on market. this will get you started click on sign in at top right of screen. it should automatically do a sign in with your google account. then go from there
There is, I believe, a problem with the firmware on my Samsung Infuse phone that causes programs that have been installed, uninstalled, and installed again to be unable to save settings associated with the program. Is there a way to fix this without resorting to a hard reset? A hard reset is really a lot of work! Surely there is some way to fix this issue!
If you have root, get the app "SD Maid" and use the corpse cleaner feature BEFORE reinstalling the app again.
This is most likely caused by settings files not removed on uninstall.
When you reinstall the settings are still there, but the new app no longer has the correct permissions to delete or change the old settings.
That fixed my problem. Thanks a lot! It saved me from having to hard reset and reinstall a million apps. I upgraded to PRO so I hope that helps.
Thank you and i'm happy to hear my work could help you.
Would you change this threads title through the edit button of the first post to:
"[Q]Settings won't save @ Infuse [solved]"
or something similar.
Okay, so i just wanted to share my strange experience with you guys and maybe save someone some time.
I tried to install third party app given here at XDA developers forum but somehow didn't manage to complete the installation. Let me remind you that "Unknown sources" were enabled.
When i opened apk on my phone i got to list what this app can access on my phone (normal) but when i hit the "Install" button nothing happened. Only "Cancel" button was clickable. So i thought something was wrong with APK. file.
But then the same thing happened with different APK. At that moment i realised something was wrong and asked Google for help.
It turned out an application was responsible for this. This guy had the same problem, but with different application.
http://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-note-10-1-2014/368482-help-cannot-install-3rd-party-apps-apks.html
Anyways, after i uninstalled lastly installed application everything was back to normal. App that caused my head aches is: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=globe.trotter.gesture.overlay
I really busted my head with this one, so i thought i might share,
Cheers
Here's a new one experts I went to the Support tab under settings and first thing I see is an Application problem which says "Phone services has reported problems. Would you like to resolve them? two choices are given Dismiss or Show. When I hit Show it takes me to the Phone APP with no further instructions beside Force Stop. Between this and my Not being able to MMS I'm having a bad day with this Phone.
I replied to your MMS issue in that thread.
As for the other problems...it could be related to an unhappy third party app you installed yourself. The only way to determine this is to run the phone in safe mode to see if the problem remains...if it goes away then you know it is a third party app and you will have to uninstall them one-by-one until you figure out which one is causing the problem.
If there are no third party apps causing the problem then it would be best to do a software repair using the Xperia Companion from your PC. This will completely reset the phone requiring you to set it up from scratch. Sorry...but this will also install a fresh copy of the software which is better than doing a basic factory reset from the phone itself.
Hey jaseman can you give me step by step instructions on first getting into safe mode and next doing the pc companion on my computer. I'm almost looking forward to resetting just to see if I can clear this issue and the messaging issue. Thanks for your quick response.
Instead of spelling all out ...again....here is the forum you need to get answers to all your questions.
Please use it!
