Can't download apps from Market after Cog 2.3b6 - Captivate General

I just flashed Cog 2.3b6 and when i try to download an app it tells me that it will start but they never do... Anyone with this problem?

Yep. Problem here. Not sure why.

Its a problem on googles side. A lot of people on different roms are having an issue
Posted from my Captivate running Perception build 3 with SetiroN's SuperOptimized kernel

I was running on Cog 2.3b2 and never had this problem.
For some reason it started working again, let's hope it's stays that way.

I've tried 3 different roms thinking it was the rom

Go into settings, applications, manage applications, go to market and uninstall updates. That should fix the problem.

I'll give this a shot tomorrow morning and post results. I did "update all" to a bunch of apps and it effectively uninstalled them. Now I gotta figure out which ones they were. Kinda had this problem on Cog 2.4.1, but really bad on 2.3b6. Makes sense if it is an app issue.

It's definitely a server-side outage apparently: http://www.androidcentral.com/late-night-market-woes-youre-not-alone

ok... it didn't stayed working... it keeps coming and going... sometimes they download and sometime they just crash...
What's the downside of uninstalling the Market Updates?

because u are using the same android id a as everyone else with that rom. Change your android id back to your original id. Its been posted before, just research forums on how to find chane and restore android id

Reverting the Market updates worked for me. I got 4 or 5 FCs in a row without it actually updating anything (just uninstalling it) and when I removed the Market updates it worked perfectly the first time.

Gtalk
Just log into Gtalk and it should work. YOu gotta be logged into Gtalk for it to work. This isn't like 100% true, sometimes it may be logged in but the app isn't running or whatever.
BUT, if the market doesnt download apps, log into Gtalk, and then it should work

Stop the download and then re -start it. Works for me

Market dead!?

Hi.
Major issues with Market. Nothing downloading. Just the bar and starting download message.
Tried force stop, cache cleaning, reboots. No joy.
Ideas?
After new FB and Twitter apps.

Same problem
Same problem with galaxy s, instaling app for 3 days now . can't stopit.
i've had this issue quite a bit on my incredible. usually cures itself by switching from wifi to 3g or the other way around. whichever you're on right now, try the other one.
Done that Mike. No change.

Go to applications market and uninstall updates.
Works fine here....
No updates to uninstall for the Market. Came as is.
I switched from Dinc to Droid X recently and encountered this problem pretty much out of the box. I believe I ended up clearing cache or data from the Gmail application and then Market downloads started to work correctly.
I just went to update an app that i have and Market Force Closed.
still downloaded ok though
I have a funny feeling this was an all around Android Market issue for many people... I had it too but now it seems to have cleared up...
You could try Titanium backup and the clear data option after tapping the market app.
It worked for me
my fix for this exact same problem (as described in the OP's first post) was to factory reset my phone (galaxy s) and log in using the @googlemail.com extension to my google email address instead of the usual @gmail.com
if that makes sense.. search google for a few other threads floating around with people who solved their market download "stalling" with this fix..
might be worth a try for you anyway.

[Q] Gmail.apk.... havin a hella of a time

My problem is small but significant. a ways back i unistalled the gmail app while trying to uninstall a gmail popup app. But since then i have restored using odin to origional eclair, and everytime i use titanium to restore all my apps, gmail is gone. Does ANYONE know of an app, or better yet where i can get that same gmail app that i loved so much. Running 2.1... and patiently waiting
Can't you just download gmail from the market?

+1 on this.
If that were the case i would be grateful for the ease of that solution. But assuming we're talking about the android market, no, and just to make sure i searched gmail 2 seconds ago and it didn't show up. Most system apps aren't on the market.
Yes they are. Gmail, Youtube, Google Maps, etc. They're all on the market. I deleted Google Search once and downloaded it straight from the market.
Ok i'll give you that there are a few, but allshare, accounts and sync, alarms and clocks... etc.. the majority of these don't show up on the market. And If you are running a 2.2 custom rom that may be why it shows for you and not me. Just to prove i'm not making this up check the three attached screen shots. First is me searching gmail, and the next 3 are the results.... super lame
but on the upside if i'm ever i need of a guide to the korean subway system... i'll search "gmail" again
Here's your guide to the korean subway system...
HA ha, much appreciated... and it is even the same package name as the one i used to have, but when i try and istal it with app installer i get the dreaded "there is a problem parsing the package". Any more suggestions?
I found it on the market....Market>Apps>All Apps>Top Free......should be the first one

Figure out why tb is messing it up, restore one app at a time and check if gmail is working.
Its not tb its my fault and i admit it, at the beginning of my vibrant usage i installed tb to clean up bloatware, and so before i even made a backup i deleted gmail. And so i have nothing to restore to and aside from odinn back to stock, it won't let me reinstall.

how do I stop gmail from updating the app

I want to stay on the older gmail app but the damn thing keeps updating to a newer version even though I don't have the auto update box checked.
~John
Menu, settings, applications, Gmail, click un-install updates

Thanks for trying to help bro, but I already knew that & it didn't solve the problem I was trying to fix.
It doesn't matter now as I found a work around that I actually like better than the original setup so it doesn't matter.

Market problems since rooting :(

Ever since i followed the root procedure here, none of my installed apps show up under Market>My Apps. It searches for a second, then comes up empty. I can install apps just fine if i search>install. I've cleared the data under Settings>Applications>Market numerous times, uninstalled updates, etc. Any ideas? All the searches i've found just say to do what i've already done...
Wierd, mine show up just fine
Download and install ROM Toolbox and fix permissions
If that doesn't work try out the new version that was just released, seems to be a little better on mine. Hopefully you get it fixed

I must be blind, but I don't see fix permissions anywhere in rom toolbox. I've seen it in CWM and Rom Manager before though. I may try the new market if I feel froggy, but it's getting dangerously close to le zonk time for me.
I ran fix permissions from rom manager and tried the new market. No luck. I really don't wanna wipe this thing. It may have broken when I modified for wifi tethering. I can't remember when it started
Im on atrix 4g and it hasn't been working since 6pm today. Just blank screen and at 12 my market updated. On the new market when I go to my apps it says your apps will show here.

I had the same problem with my Samsung captivate. I had to use the app brain market to push all the updates. I'll go check my atrix 2, hopefully I'm not once again plagued with that bug.
Ok so i wiped everything (after backing up of course), and am trying again.
1) Works unrooted, fresh out of the box. "My Apps" shows a few apps i have paid for but not installed.
2) Market updates itself, now "My Apps" empty.
3) Double checked, installed Angry Birds, backed out and still nothing.
Thoughts? Also, last night I tried the latest Market that was posted on Androidpolice and it did the same thing. I do NOT want to use Appbrain.

looks like i'm not alone...
UPDATE: Exchanged phone at lunch today, still same thing after the new market updates.
Hmm, I've been on the Market a few times and i'm still on v3.1.5....not complaining, just an observation. I dunno man, sounds kinda funky to me.
Go to settings. Manage applications. Find market and press uninstall updates. Fixed the market problems for me

i had this problem on a certain rom on my x10. clearing cache AND data in settings > apps > market worked for me. you may need to also clear cache partition or dalvik cache as well to make it work.
try using this to clear cache, clear dalvik after clearing data and cache from market under settings. reboot. see if that helps.

just remember that you have to reboot

Apps won't open

I just noticed that at least a handfull of my apps won't open at all today and I don't even get a crash report or anything. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, rebooting the phone, and clearing cache and none of that seems to work. I haven't done anything other than install an app or two over the past few days (and I uninstalled the apps that I have recently downloaded to see if those were the issue).
Any other ideas?
Google updated something like Android Web View. Uninstall or freeze it.

You are awesome! Thanks, it would have taken me forever to figure that out. That was it.
Wife was giving me hell that some of her apps wasn't working. I asked her if anything updated and she said no. Told her I would check here and see if I could find something on it. Then told her what to uninstall and she then remembered that updated on her. Women lol. Any how knew I could find the solution on XDA.
