Problem with Market, stuck on installing

I had 3 apps that needed updating so I clicked update all. 1 app updated then I got a force closed, now the other 2 won't install and no matter what I try, it's stuck on installing. I tried clearing Market data and cache, I even uninstalled the 2 apps under manage applications.
Is there a way to reinstall Market, or reset it? I'm running nfinites stock .7 ROM.

I had the same problem. What you do is go Menu>Settings>Applications>Mangage Applications. Select the tab for all. Go to Market. Clear data and Clear cache. It will get rid of the persistent download that is causing market FC

Found a work around. Had to unmount the SD card, search the Market for the apps I needed to update, download and install, remount the SD card then move the updated apps to the SD card. Pain in the ass but it works.

Thanks a lot, i did this and it worked
* I only cleared the data (the cache was disabled)

[Q] Market not working: "Download failed", tried everything.

I know that there are tons of threads about this but none of them have helped. My market just will not work. It shows it downloading, then displays the message "Download failed" for a split second and disappears.
I have an HTC Desire (BravoC/CDMA) with the latest version of CyanogenMod 7 Nightly and ClockworkMod 2.5.0.9 for recovery. I also have Firerat's Custom MTD Partition. Details and links to all these can be found in my signature.
I feel like I've tried everything. Uninstall updates, Installed latest GApps, Installed old versions of GApps, Installed leaked versions of Gapps, cleared cache, formatted device.
This has been happening since the new market website was released. It really sucks, I can't update any apps or download any new apps.
If anyone can offer any help or suggestions I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you

Try removing SD card then try again. I had the same problem with my galaxy s I removed SD card backup on PC then I formatted it put it back in and market works perfect, don't ask me why but this worked for me
Sent from my Ideos using XDA App

a little weird thing i noticed is,if i have checked the box that allows applications to be download to the external(Apps2sd) whatever i try to download, will be resulted with Unsuccessful. When i unchecked it, my downloads were successful.
See if you have it checked.

I discovered that it was a problem with the CSC file. I had exactly the same issue with a 'mixed up' firmware. Download would not work at all from the market. Anyhow, I flashed the phone (galaxy s) with a different CSC file and the market started downloading.
the only thing I had changed was that file.
So u may want to consider that Hope this helps.

I think there is also a possibility of going to applications --> market, and then stop & clear data.

same situation here...
re-flash the rom and market won't download anything.
But it's strange that I can install apps from web market.

i know i'm at the wrong thread but could somebody help me pls with sgs gingerbread im stuck at on command where it is saying that busybox is not a valid command and thats its not recognized

Thanks for all the suggestions guys, after some time I have discovered what was causing the market issue. It was the Firerat Custom MTD Partition Mod the whole time. Apparently the new version of the market deals with downloads a little differently now and doesn't get along with Firerat's mod.
So now the waiting game begins for a new update from Firerat.

Hi,
NOt a solution, but I found a workaround for this issue on my phone.
I am using Hyperdroid GBX V8 on my HTC HD2 now. From last 2 days I was struggling with this problem. I tried all solutions I found with google. Clearning everything and Reflashing, clearing the market and caches for other apps, reflashing, unmount/mount SDCARD and so on, smaller bigger recovery partition, without EXT3/4 partition.
Still the problem exist on the phone. But I found a workaround. Logon to market.android.com using your google id and password, select the app you want to install and click install. if your phone is up and live, it will be installed in a few seconds.
In other words, pull doesnt work, but push works .
Thanks.

[Q] Cant install apk, installation fails

Hi, I installed an application on my XT720, but I think the installation hanged so I took out the battery to reset the phone. Now it wont install.
I've encountered this problem before by deleting the temp files using root explorer, but I can't seem to find the temp files on this one. Does anyone know where I can find temp files from installations?
thx

if it's rooted already, just use any of the clear cache apps in market, to clean the temps out
also the Dalvik cache

that almost no one reported problem and almost nobody knows how to fix it, I can say that there are caches market or anything like that, the problem is that there are duplicates in a folder on the SD card, and you have to delete the folder is hidden and not visible on the phone and can not erase, deves do it on the pc, and appears as olcuto file in linux and mac, but you can delete it just by putting "view hidden files" Fortunately, it is easy to fix

I have encountered the same problem, but after i cleaned the caches by Cache Cleaner, the problem didn't solve.
When I tried to install the apk file, the device returns the message 'application not installed'.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

I doubt this is your problem, but maybe check the permissions and ownership of your /cache directory. I borked mine once while experimenting and the market was very silently unhappy.
ls -l should give:
drwxrwx--x system cache 2011-03-28 23:13 cache
If it's not owned by the cache group or if the group doesn't have write permission, downloads just go poof. That doesn't sound like your problem, though.
I've had some situations (going all the way back to 2.1) where Market apps wouldn't install the first couple of times I ask, but if I'm persistent and repeatedly keep installing, eventually it will start installing.
Another trick I've found is if the download completes and then the install never starts, try leaving the Market page for the app and come back. Sometimes that kicks the install into gear.

My problem seldom associate with the market apps, but rather the apk files that i backed up before. when i pressed install, the installation bar would load for a while, about 1 second, and then it said application not installed.
This happens when I first try to install angry birds few days ago, the application hanged up with no response, just showing the installation bar. After that i removed the battery and try to install, the apk can't be installed and the above situation happened.
I can still install some of the other apk files, but some cannot. I tried to wipe all the caches as well as factory reset by the openrecovery, but the apk still cannot be installed.
Anyone got the same problem?

Are you on froyo? IIRC Angry Birds tries to install to the SD card using native froyo App 2 SD. Perhaps that's what's not working on your phone. Since not all apps do that it could seem random. See if you can Move to SD any downloaded apps (Settings > Applications > Manage applications > Downloaded > pick one > Move to SD). If you can't there's probably something wrong with your FAT partition on the SD card (e.g. it may need to be reformatted).

i tried your method, and my apps could move to SD.
So what will be the possible reasons for my problem?

Not enough space issues on my infuse

I just seems to be having issues with my infuse, i am trying to download a game and it is telling me that there is not enough memory space left. can someone help me figure this issues out since i do not have any memory or space intensive applications on my phone

If you're running a custom ROM, I think some of them have messed up markets because I get this sometimes, too. But if you're not, I don't know.

google messed it up, not the devs, in fact on infused gtg fixed the issue

Market 3.x bug. Market 3.x moved downloads from /data to /cache, Google screwed up and broke devices that had smaller /cache partitions because there was never a need for /cache to be large before.
Use gtg465x's fixed Market from his Infused ROM. If you're on another ROM you'll need to manually extract Vending.apk from the zip from his ROM and manually install it.

Running gtg465x's Infused v2.2.3 and still having the space error issue. Do I need to extract the Vending.apk and manually install it? Shouldn't it already be installed in the v2.2.3? Also it seams like the battery life is pretty crappy, any ideas? Aside from the 2 mentioned issued everything seems to be working fine.
Thanks

It's an issue with the new store,
(one with the newer panel style view)
Cache can play a factor on some devices as well.
It never hurts to run through the managed programs list & clear some of your apps caches.
What will most likely fix this for you though isn't a rom change like some have been suggesting or clearing your cache. Its much simpler than that.
Revert to stock version of market packaged with your device.
Follow these steps...
1. Go to settings, applications, managed applications, select all tab
2. Find Download manager, click on it.
Force Stop, Clear Data, Clear Cache.
3. Go back to managed applications
4. Find Market, click on it.
Force Stop, Uninstall Updates, Clear Data, Clear Cache.
5. Reboot device.
Notes:
You may not be given the option to clear cache, this just means you don't need to.
***Do not let market update to newer version after reboot, or you will have to do this all over again.***
I suggest you try out the game Wind-Up Knight. Was the first thing I downloaded after I fixed this on my device. 40ish MBs.

Thanks for the reply. I just went back to S7, much smoother IMO. What's crazy is my daughter has the Galaxy Prevail from Boost mobile and she has the current edition of GB, fng crazy. LOL

Please help
I just updated by phone firmware from 2.2.1 to 2.3.6 yesterday using the following method:-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1603220
Before the upgrade I had backed up all my phone apps (downloaded from the market) to my PC using wondershare Mobilego & now when I'm trying to restore my apps back to the phone it's telling me not enough space.
Think Market did update itself after the phone was upgraded to 2.3.6. Current version is 3.10.9
This is what storage settings of my phone are saying though:-
USB Storage:
Total Space: 13.03GB
Available Space: 12.07GB
System Storage:
Available Space: 1.23GB
I have an option to Format my USB Storage & I'm willing to do that if this helps. Else I'm screwed :crying:

[Q] insufficent storage available

Im a noob and this is my first post here. I found applanet and luckypatcher and decided I wanted fpse so I could play psx games. The emulator never worked right and I think luckypatcher was screwing with something in my phone plus I just had an icky feeling about it. So I uninstalled them both and tried to buy fpse from the market they took my money it says purchased but now it wont install it because of the storage error. I think there is something left over from luckypatcher in the file system on my phone that the market is recognizing but im sure. Can somebody help me out

Wow 116 views and no replys. I guess theres no love here.

If you have rooted your phone you can try to inspect the /data/data directory and look for something big.
But the most common solution for this problem is to uninstall apps and free some space.
Good luck

If you get the insufficient storage space message even when you have space it's because you uninstalled the app after you 'fixed dalvik cache changes' with lucky patcher. I would try wiping the cache along with data for both programs, reboot and try again.

I have un installed both luckypatcher and fpse deleted any left over files ran sd maid and wiped both cache in x recovery. I was trying to update busybox today and it said that my root might not be installed correctly and I was having a root issue with another program so I might flash back to stock and start over. Im running locked bootloader version of doomkernel v06 I think that the unlocked version might be more stable for my x10i because it freezes during the custom kernel logo quite a bit. Thanks guys
