I have tried two market fixes here and one from youtube. Non have worked for me so far. Each time I wipe and start from scratch, I cannot find any of my purchased apps. I cannot search for even the most common apps! Can someone help?
Here is what I did after I purchased it..
1. Ran the root exploit. Gained root access on the device with the Viewsonic UI.
2. Downloaded Rom Manager and TnT Lite 2.2. I installed TnT Lite without installing clockworkmod though. Didn't run into any problems.
3. Noticed the Market problem and immediately searched and asked here and wound up doing the fix thats on top of this page.. Nothing, followed all instructions.
4. Did an older Market fix, tried a youtube market fix.
I am not getting desperate though as I just got it today and I'm having a blast with the flash 10 web browsing and wifi tethering on the go.
Thanks. Sorry if this doesn't belong here.

Seems like quite a few people have been having this issue, myself included. Just keep trying it should eventually work. Took me an hour or so to get it working last night on the Vegan alpha.
Only thing I can think of that I did differently the time it finally worked was immediately after seeing the error in the market power down, didnt click ok, just powered down immediately. Not sure if that had anything to do with it or if it was just coincidence but give it a shot.
Here is a youtube video on how to fix the market place. You will
also need to install titanium backup too.

I dont think his issue is with doing the fix, its that for some people the fix doesnt work on the first try and takes some repeated attempts to get it to work.

oh .. didn't know that was a issue .. it worked on the first try I did it ..
Looking forward to the next release of TnT lite ..
@necromonger89 I'm not certain we totally understand the effect of using ROM manager to flash TNT Lite over stock on the data in the user partition, or for that matter, switching from stock TNT to TNTLite without wiping data, or at least cache. I highly suggest installing clockwork mod, wiping everything, and flashing TNT Lite or other ROMs that way for now, because we are pretty certain the Market fix will work for you then.

I haven't yet been convinced that anybody has done these fixes correctly (with a normally flashed ROM and clean user data, at least - the original poster in this thread is in an unusual situation) and had them not work on any consistent basis. I sincerely doubt that some sort of fundamental hardware difference makes Market fix sometimes work, sometimes not.
With some ROMs, like ZPad, I have had to reboot 2-3 times before Market could repopulate it's cache (i.e. every time I started Market it would error again after doing the fix - this is the non-Titanium fix, i.e. clear Market cache, force stop market, clear Google Services Framework data, force stop GSF, start Market and let it error, then reboot). And I had to make absolutely certain wifi was connected after reboot and good signal strength before trying to start up Market, or it would error out again, I'd have to reboot and try again.
On the VEGAn ROM, on the other hand, the Market fix works the first time every try, although with alpha 1 it screws up the Camera (fixable by reflash of ZIP).
Most of the people complaining that it doesn't work seem to end up realizing they did something wrong, i.e. they cleared data on Market instead of clearing cache, or failed to force stop one of the apps.
I've done this literally dozens of times now, while I was experimenting with my improved market fix.

Check my post over in the Vegan thread. I wiped data and cache on the device(three differnet times) on the applications countless times and it took me over an hour to get the market working. I must have rebooted and retried 50 times before it eventually worked. Not sure why some people have the issue and some dont.
All I can say that the methods that I've used twice and which worked were the Titanium based Google Services 2.2 wipe and manually using access from the TnT settings, both done under TnTL 2.0.2 & 2.1.1. (Didn't wipe for TnTL 2.2.0 and market is still working...)
Titanium way:
1. Ran market, tried dl (IIRC) been a couple weeks since I did these
2. Titanium to wipe Google Services 2.2
3. Ran market no error
4. Settings -> force close market
5. Used TnT setting -> apps force closed market
6. Redid Titanium Google Services wipe
7. Ran market no error
8. sames as (4)
9. Redid Titanium Google Services wipe (probably not necessary)
10. Settings -> force close Google Services
11. Run market error
12. reboot
13. market works, but w/usual missing apps, but most there
The key for me I believe was using settings (or any other app that can force close/kill) to FC market, run Titanium and THEN again using some way to FC that which was never mentioned in any of the tutorials at the time that I saw and I figured it out by going way back to the phone(or whatever it was -- it's slightly different as I have TnT setting and 2.2 v. 2.1 in that original hack IIRC) market hack that this was based off of. So this should work:
1. Run market
2. download IIRC -> fail
3. FC market some how
4. wipe Google Services cache some how
5. FC Google Services
6. Run market -> error
7. reboot
(Above steps may not be 100% accurate, i.e. may have missed a step as I haven't done this in weeks now and only did it twice. My other two devices I used ENTIRELY different methods to enable market.)
I did this essentially the first time using Titanium, but that's not necessary as it may also be accomplished by simply using settings to do the FC and cache clearing. The key problem for me appeared to be that Google Services had to be FCed before this works and the version of Titanium(free and whatever it was at that time) wasn't FCing Google Services & also needed to FC market as well IIRC.
I did it using the Settings app the second time as I didn't have access to Titanium when I installed TnTL 2.1.1 which I did directly on the tablet.
(I'll have to keep better track of exactly what is needed next time I do a fw update that requires a full wipage.)

I have been having this issue since oh I say about CM6 Nightlies 8/26-8/27 when the "Market Issue" crept up. And let me say I know that had nothing to do with this ROM per-say. I am using CM6 now on 9-1 nightly...Perhaps someone has\had the same problem.
No matter what I do using AppBrain or just the Market app I keep getting these dam force close on trying to download these 3 updates. 1. Handcent SMS and 2.Droid Battery and 3.Clockwork ROM manager. All of these apps I have removed and re-installed and then tried the market again...Still shows they all 3 need to be updated. Obviously when I am re-installing I am installing the last version I have prior to the updates that both sites say I need. Should I go into manage apps and wack all the updates for all 3 of these apps? Or is there a fix for the market itself? I have removed AppBrain and re-installed but that did not fix the issue either.
Now I have not been wiping anything on these nightlies I might add..And I have never had ANY issues other than the ones mentioned here. I have noticed the GPS issues as a lot of others have. But on 9/1 has ZERO GPS issues and locked in a matter of seconds. Also, I only can get ANY data via WiFi...<---A whole OTHER issue. But I know the fix for that. I just need to have my phone added with my Provider...Which is MetroPCS blah blah. I can get SMS and the Net of course now that there is a nice Proxy Setting which I hope that remains in the final build.
Anywho...Market issues anyone? Is there a way to wack the market.apk and re-install it? I have cleaned cache on just about everything I could think of..Re-set defaults etc on the 3 apps in question. Suggestions?
What I need is
Handcent SMS Version 3.2.9...Again I am NOT able to get to the market and I can't get on WiFi at the moment...
After further investigation ALL I need is Handcent SMS 3.2.9 I have the other versions I have NO idea why it keeps saying that I need to update the other two I have the latest of Gauge Battery Widget and ClockworkROM Manager. Hmmm interesting...

This is a recent and known google problem, not a rom problem. Google's servers have been overloaded, sot his is why the market is not preforming well.
i'm having a similar issue for quite a while now. probably over a month but i've just been dealing with it.
i think it started when i put cy mod 6 on my hero after a complete wipe.
i can not install any apps. from appbrain/market it will go through the dowload process and begin installation. but the installation is always unsuccessful. for almost every app. i've tried restoring from myback up, titanium back up, app saver. nothing works.
i was just about to completely wipe my phone & sd card but thought i'd take a look here first.
any help would be greatly appreciated. =)
running tnt lite 4.0 as of yesterday with market fix. all was working normally this morning. downloaded and installed quite a few apps and live wall papers. this afternoon most of the apps are missing and i can only get 1 live wallpaper. all the other stuff is missing. even the stuff i have already downloaded is missing. performed market fix over and over still same thing. the market seems to be working fine just most of it is gone. anybody got any ideas? am i looking at a complete rom reinstall?
It's happened to me a couple of times...
If you have Titanium Backup installed, just load it up and let it populate the app list...
After that, the Market seems to recognize everything that is installed right away...
It does eventually seem to come back on it's own -- but TB is the only way I've found of "forcing" it to happen sooner...
nope that didn't help. still missing most of the apps. the weird thing is that they were all there this morning and i haven't done anything that would have borked the market.
something else too. the market makes me "accept the terms" the 1st time i load it after a reboot. rebooted 3 time in a row and its the same every time.
Have you tried doing the Market fix again? I've had to do it several times. Even after it's done there are a few apps hat never show up, but most do.
You're talking about apps you've already downloaded from the market so I would definitely try the market fix again and see if that works.

That usually happens when you "Clear Data" on the Market app -- but you say you haven't done that? If so, sounds like the flag isn't being set/stored when you click accept -- so perhaps permissions are borked?
Maybe try rebooting into recovery and doing a "Fix Permissions" and "Wipe Dalvik Cache", then go back into normal boot, accept the terms again and see what happens...
yep done that too. at least a dozen times. and i know i am doing it correctly because it worked the first time a week ago when i rooted and intalled tnt lite the first time and again on saturday when i installed tnt lite 4.0. the market fix worked both times with no issues. now almost all the apps are missing. there are no free live wall papers listed and only 1 pay live wall paper listed. that and only 1 app shows up in the featured list when i launch the market.
i am really trying to avoid a complete reinstall of tnt if i can help it but i guess if i have to then i have to.

yea done that as well. same thing. its very strange. i have been at this for hours yesterday combing through the forums looking for an answer with no luck. i found all of the suggestions mentioned above and tried them with no success.
Ahhh...TnT 4 introduced the problem. I just read in another thread that v4 includes the Data2Loop hack and lots of people are now reporting this very issue...
Will update with the link to the thread which includes remedies...
Update: Link to thread detailing issue -- may want to just jump to the end and work backwards
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=842004
hmm.... well there it is. thanks man. will revert back i guess. 4.0 sure was fast though.
This happened on my "stock" Zpad. I woke up one morning and it was like it was partially defaulted. I had to accept the terms again and some apps were like they were only newly installed (eg asking for default actions). It was like some database go corrupted overnight (by itself).
That was all about a week or two ago and I haven't had the same problem since.
I began to have market "re do" issues several days ago (On tnt 3.1.2) and have had to fix it several times a day. I think Google has something to do with it. I turned off all Google Sync to Gmail and since last night, market is sticking again.
I have been using it without any problems and suddenly all the apps are gone from the market download and for others the icon is not working anymore.
I use the website Market now. I notice more apps on the website than in the market application. If I download an app from the website it puts it in the "downloaded" part of the market app anyway, so all the updates happen normally. This works for me and I don't have to worry about re-doing the market fix.
Cheers, Mal.
Just set up my Transformer and have gone into the market, when i click on install for any app, and ok the permissions, it does nothing, just sits on the info screen for the app i was looking at. My data connection is fine.
any ideas?
I have tried clearing the cache and data from the market app in manage apps.
Not sure what was going on, It has now started downloading ok.
delete the tread if you like.
sorry.
Actually, got my new Transformer today...it proceeds to download but then errors out...rebooted...same thing...can't download or update any apps.
same here
Had mine just over a day, can't install anything from market. Google says to log onto Google talk, but THAT does not work either ... just times out.
But can surf the web just fine, and navigate around Market just fine.
So now what?
thanks, Ian
Have you tried clearing data and cache for the market?

Yes, cleared the data, there was nothing in the cache. Seems to be a common problem, and various different solutions work for some people but not others (on assorted devices). I have mailed Google but so far no response .... have no problems downloading stuff to my Galaxy S2 over same WiFi network ...
bump
Got the same issue since I got a failed firmware update. A fix would be great
this happened to me too, downloading from android market is a hit-and-miss thing... sometimes it downloads on the first try, sometimes i have to retry it a couple of times before it finally download, and somerimes it wont ever download at all (sometimes it leaves the downloading notification stuck)
I have also seen this behaviour - apps would download, then nothing. Clicking on 'INSTALL' again on the Market store entry would usually then do a successful download and install.
Solution?
Can you guys try this, which seems to work for me (as in: after installing Custom ROMs, is what worked ...)
1. set you phone into WiFi Tethering Mode.
2. connect Transformer to use WiFi via the phone
3. log onto market and initiate download.
4. should work fine. Then disconnect from phone, use normal WiFi connection, and it should work.
I've had long discussions with Google about this. They told me to open a bunch of ports on my router, which seemed to help, but is not THE permanent solution. I think Google, for some reason, needs a fix on your position before they validate you initially, which is what they get when you connect via a cellphone.
The ports in question are:
outgoing TCP and UDP connections to 443 + 5222-5443 port range.
Note: there is often a delay when ordering something from Market via website, and getting it sent to device. This is normal. Downloading via Market App should be faster.
Good luck.
Cheers, Ian
I have the same problem...I've tried every possible "fix" and nothing really works...I'm running stock not even rooted, I've had this problem ever since I got the 3.1 ota. Hoping for a fix in 3.2
I've noticed this too. I select an app to download, then I can see the progress bar of the download and then it changes to "Waiting to install" and just stays there. What I usually do is click the "back" button (or touch it or whatever), then click the app again and push the "install" button again. Then it installs fine.
It's not a deal breaker, but it is kind of annoying.
You can try downloading the newer market. I couldn't download apps with the old market, so I downloaded the new market .apk and can download apps from there.
Did you find the apk in these forums?

Did a system wipe of my device (with backup of course), everything is working again as it was ( after recreating the account ), clearing the cache/data has not helped.

the solution is one and follow my steps cause this thing almost drove me crazy for a week and yes,i could not install anything.
1.erase everything from the internal memory of your transformer connected to your computer. i mean,from the pc move them all to recycle bin.
2. go to recovery menu,and do a wipe data and wipe cache.then do a wipe dalvik cache and then fresh install from install from sd card the revolver rom.
3.HERE IS THE TRICKY PART.
after the first boot,you must do a factory reset of the tablet from the option inside the honeycomb,from the settings.
(NOT from the recovery menu)
i dont remember where this is,i think in development,you will find out.
after the factory reset you will see and android yellow box and the tab will do a reset and erase everything.
Voila! The market will work like a dream and you will never have again problem.
Trust me...i searched a lot for this problem...its the only solution.
they say its a bug in the android secure folder or something and only with a reformat of the file structure it can be solved.
I noticed that disconnecting and reconnecting Google talk solves that installation problem from the market.
I rooted my phone tonight, everything went great.
When I restarted my phone and signed in with my account, all of the apps I had on the phone before the root immediately started downloading. For whatever reason, they have all stalled and the market won't work.
I've cleared the cache & data, done a force stop on the market, restarted, taken the battery out and restarted, still, the apps are stuck. Is there a fix for this? Am I the only one who has experienced this?
Did you install any rom after rooting?
I've had this problem as well, and so do many other people. There is what seems to be anecdotal fixes for it. My personal fix that I've become reliant on is leaving the Market open while the download(s) completes, and this seems to work most of the time. I've researched the issue quite a bit and unfortunately it seems to have been relegated to a "oh well, we're rooted and have installed a custom rom, I guess this is an unfortunate consequence that can't be fixed". From cm7 to aosp to the sense based roms, the problem seems to occur on all of them.
If you open up Titanium Backup and run "Market Doctor" it should fix the problem. You may need to restart the phone afterwards, but I can't remember if I usually do or not, lol.
This is the second time I've had this problem. I'm running Paranoid Android 2.52 on my Infuse, and everything's been working just fine ever since I ported it. I've installed no new apps and have changed nothing whatsoever, but suddenly, Gapps has begun crashing and this takes other processes down with it.
On boot, Gapps will immediately crash, which takes Talk down with it, and sometimes Trebuchet. And a handful of my apps are crippled by this problem, as well. I can't download anything from the Play Store, the download immediately errors out. If I try to create a picture message, Messaging will crash (though regular texting is okay). Titanium Backup crashes on load, and I'm sure there's plenty more errors I haven't found yet. And the little WiFi or mobile data icons in the notification bar never turn blue, they're permanently grey now. But I still have the ability to use data and make calls (I can connect to Facebook and dial my voicemail, anyway).
I've done some searching into other people with crashing Gapps, and one suggested a fix by wiping the cache and dalvik cache, but this didn't improve anything. Someone fixed it by formatting datadata, which I don't have as I'm on JB. Another suggested it's a shortage of storage space in the apps folder, but I'm showing hundreds of megabytes left in that particular folder alone. I've used a very small percentage of my phone storage altogether. Phone, internal, and external SDs are very low in storage use. When searching for apps, I prioritize a very small file size.
The first time this occured, it was as sudden and inexplicable. The first time was on an older version of PA JB. One day it worked, the next day, after making no changes of any kind, Gapps started crashing with the same symptoms. After enough searching and failing, I decided I was okay with just wiping back to stock and moving up to the latest (at the time) PA, so first I experimented with flashing the newest compatible version of Gapps, and then EVERYTHING on my phone would crash on boot, and it was completely unusable. So I Odin'd back to stock, worked my way up to PA 2.52 a few months ago. The release had only been a couple days old at the time. And everything was perfectly solid and stable, up until just today, again with no changes made on my part.
The only thing I can report is that this time it began happening while I was watching a YouTube video, which I tend to do a lot on my phone, over WiFi. I haven't installed any new apps in weeks, I haven't changed any settings since I first ported PA. Just, suddenly, BAM. Gapps is completely unusable.
Anybody have any idea what the issue is and how to fix it?
Be sure you are using this version of gapps http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip
If not, uninstall the version you are using, wipe cache and dalvik and install from above link. Also be sure not to restore from TiBu anything more than just the app. (no data). gl

That is the precise version of Gapps I'm using. Also, I never performed any restore from Titanium, because when this happened last time, it prevented Titanium from loading, so I couldn't make a backup. I made a Nandroid backup from CWM, but then I discovered that no app could restore from the Nandroid backup because it's JB. So, this current port is entirely clean and from scratch, basically.
This is the exact process I went through when going back to stock and building up to JB:

Well, the last time I had this problem and I tried updating Gapps, it rendered my phone completely unusable, everything would crash on boot, requiring the return to stock. And to be totally honest, this is the week before finals for me, and I just don't have the time to do a whole new back-to-stock-and-build-up right now, lol. So I'm hoping there's a solution that doesn't require all that time and work, because I won't have the time until next Monday night or Tuesday morning. And that's a long time to go with a phone that doesn't work properly.
Either way, thanks for your help so far.
It also appears that some of my apps have started vanishing. I haven't uninstalled anything, but I noticed that my XDA app is no longer there. Just... vanished. And there are some apps I have on my home screen that, when I try to open them from the home screen, I get a small error saying "App is not installed," and that app is not present in the app drawer, despite its shortcut still being on a home screen.
A long series of bizarre errors, this.
How come you gt to have all the fun ?? lol
I will try to find time tomorrow to download the rom and see if I can duplicate the errors and go from there.
I made a tiny breakthrough last night. I was going through my app manager and saw that, despite my clearing the cache in CWM, some apps still had HUGE caches reserved. So I cleared the cache of apps like GooManager, Play Store, YouTube, G-Mail, and any other apps that had enormous caches, and the problem seems to have subsided as a result.
I remember doing something similar last time, and it only worked for a couple hours before the problem came back again. So I'll keep you updated on whether or not the issue does come back. But so far, it seems to've done the trick.

Nice! There is an app in Play called Cachemate (free) that I like for stuff like this. I use it every 2-3 days.
Welp, it's been about a week since I cleared the caches and things. I also moved all the apps to the SD card that would still work. I found an app (DroidSail) that will force-move apps to the SD, regardless of whether or not the stock app manager will allow it. Such as Facebook. There's no reason the 33mb of Facebook can't be on the SD. And a couple other apps like that, the real unimportant, non-functional ones.
Anyway, it's been about a week now and so far, so good. That seems to've done the trick. But why does that happen? What makes this kind of maintenance necessary? And, actually, while I'm at it, what cache am I clearing in CWM if it's not this one? And why does my phone require somewhat regular cache-clearing? Is it a PA thing, or a JB thing, or is just a me thing because I've done all this to my phone?
Either way, final verdict:
Anyone having these problems in the future. just clear your caches using the above methods.
