Received my G Tablet from Woot yesterday and within 5 minutes of using the stock ROM knew I wanted to replace it. I installed VEGAn-TAB 5.1.1 and was quite pleased. The only problem was many missing apps in the market. I tried a lot of market fix methods with no success until I watched and followed this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2YcJdxJ24U&sns=em
By following his specific order I was able to access every app I wanted. I was surprised it worked because I had basically done the same thing 4 times prior. It was the order shown in the video that seemed to make the difference.
Worked for me as well
I followed along and the video played and the only thing different for me was that after the power on, when I started the market, it failed again. I though it didn't work, and that I may have busted more then the Market, so I opened GMail. GMail opened fine, so tried the Market again, and it worked.
The video mentioned that they weren't sure if purchased apps would work. While I didn't buy any from my GTab, I was able to download apps that I had purchased already, so that would lead me to believe it should work fine.

I have several paid apps that are showing up in my apps in the market. I haven't tried to install any yet though.
Thanks for the link Doc, we are in the same situation with our Woot Tabs

You're welcome. I was at my wits end trying to fix the market. Finally this did the trick.

Anyone else getting a connection / retry error when navigating the market?
Yes. Thought it was just me !
Mention your mods, please - that will help all of us out. I've been hearing about Market issues in TnT Lite for the last few days, which is one of the reasons why I pulled it. Also, whether or not you're using data2loop or custom kernels, as these could all be factors. TNTL 4.00 had data2loop built-in. Thanks!
been running 4.0 for days..no problems...tonight tried to go on market and got retry issue. Decided to try vegan tonight anyway...having problems with market there as well
Curious, any of you using 'custom' DNS servers like FreeDNS or google DNS? I was using google DNS and having all sorts of issues w/ market, on both my gTab and Droid, switch DNS back to my ISP and so far no issues for about 2 weeks now.
Hey guys, I was just redoing the market fix on my g-tab, and I thought a messed something up because I was getting this error. The tab was is on Vegan 5.1 (no kernal mod). However, after retrying the market fix a few more times I could not get it to work. I looked at my Eris, and it was down there too. It leads me to believe something is wrong somewhere external to our devices.
I tried vegan tonight and just now finally have access to market but i can find tons of apps but not some of the most basic...dolphin hd i can only find themes...when i search for facebook i get everything but facebook. Hopefully its on googles end.
Hmmm...I just accessed market on my captivate and its finding things fine. I was trying to find launcher pro on my tab and it won't find it. Captivate brought it right up.
I just picked up the tablet 1 days ago. I'm running the enhancement pack. Everything else is stock. Used default recovery. No issues day 1.
I started getting the error after I installed clockwork and repartitioned to 2048 0 AND cleard the various caches today.
Could be a coincidence.

That was the reason I tried the marketplace fix in the first case. I was seeing a ton of apps, but not weather bug or a few other apps that I could find on my Eris. I read that doing the old market fix with whats already in VEGAn should fix it and give all, but I can't tell.
Edit: its back up, but I still am unable to find weatherbug and idk what other apps.
Edit: Edit: Just retried the market fix again, and I am getting the connection error again. Eris is still working
I'm seeing tons of apps...just not the ones i need. No weatherbug,launcherpro,facebook,
The first time i had the market problem i was only seeing a few apps. At first glance it now looks complete but i can't find anything.
Seems like every app i use is not coming up. Craigsphone, weatherbug, facebook, launcherpro, dolphin hd The only two apps i found so far are xda and my jeep wrangler app. Thats it?
Went back to 3.14 last night. Been having the retry issue now.
I did keep hitting retry (5 - 8 times) and get the market to work. I do have to keep hitting the retry button sometimes as I navagate though the market.
I haven't been able to find rock player since last night after my reflash.
maybe the problem is with the market itself?
Okay, I followed the post 2 posts up and kept hitting retry and between error messages trying to navigate the market. I was able to find weatherbug, but I still would like to get the error fixed. Hopefully it will resolve itself soon.

Same thing here, must be something with the market itself.
seems like mine is starting to repopulate. I had to hit retry in the listings just now and there are more showing.
I can't find weather bug.
What fingerprint is in your guide.prop?
running 5.1 Vegan , had the same problem with market error / retry. So did the market fix again and cleared data under market. Now markets working again without the error/retry.

Sorry bout that. I'm on stock 3452.
I did note that market was not FC'ing. Rather, it was getting a server error, so I assumed it was a server error on their end.

I had that come up last night too (Market terms and conditions). I just accepted it but I couldn't find Skyfire or some other apps I knew should be there. I was going to do the market fix again later.
Currently running VeganTab b5.1
Not sure whats going on but for the past day and a half now I have not been able to install apps from the droid market from the PC. Been doing market fixes since then. I have all apps showing up, but I still get the device not showing in my account.
I know this issue pops up alot just wanted to know if others where having the same issue.
I did eventually install appbrain as a work around but it is really annoying to see that google is having that many problems with this.
I went through all the net advised fixes, work around's and everything else. From what I've come across it's not just tablet owners having this issue. It's also phone owners of both rooted and non-rooted phones.
will be easier for others to help you if you give more info. What rom are you using? What have you tried? (you say you tried a few fixes) any hacks or tweeks youve done?
I am running TnT lite 4.2.4 w/ clockwork mod installed. No other tweaks to speak of. I have not had a market issue since original install 3 weeks ago. Even after running the 2.2.4 supplement I still had a functioning market.
It was the next day that market did an update and things went downhill from there. I hit the net and looked for other fixes and found 2 others involving removal and resetting of gmail account. did not work work.
As of 7:30am today my market account still does not show my device listed. The first run of the market fix 3 weeks took 4 hrs for my tab to show under market account, so letting it sit after ordering from the tablet did not correct the issue either.
I have tried the titanium backup market fix as well as the non titanium fix on multiple occasions. at least 4x each fix. My market on tab looks up to date w/ all apps, just my tab is not showing on the webpage market.
THis issue does not seem to be just a tab issue as googleing "device does not show under market account" pulls quite a few issues regarding this problem. Even various phones are having the same issue.
not sure what else to do except use a work around.
Similar issue...
ROM: Vegan Beta 5.1.1
Tab: Ztab
My issue is that all my android devices, including this one, show up. However, two of them show as "not compatible" for many applications even though they should be compatible. For instance, Xscope (being the latest I tried) won't install on either the Ztab or my nameless Shanzai tablet. It would install on my S7 or Droid.
Android Versions:
S7: 2.1
Droid: 2.2 (some ROM, don't remember which)
Shanzai: 2.1 (as it came)
Ztab: 2.2 (via Vegan as noted above)
I'm not sure what else to try and it is getting very annoying. I had thought it was just me until I started to see more and more reports of the issue.
ok, so I thought I was losing my mind today! All of sudden all my web pages that included flash were force closing. So I wiped the tablet, re-installed everything and still the same issue. So I started googling gtablet flash force closing. Someone else just started seeing the issue as well! I think Adobe must have killed the 10.1.95 flash build somehow.. Anyway, I found 10.1.120.1.apk installed it and now everything is back to normal!
here is the link http://www.mediafire.com/?39vc24wa2xdyy5r
10.1.95.1 never worked for me on my Gtab. I just got mine 3/4/11 and I installed the 10.1.95 that was on the viewsonic website. It never worked, anytime I went to a website that had flash on it, it would immediately show the desktop, not even give me a force close. I found 10.1.120 already placed on the internal sdcard from the factory. I installed it, and it works fine.
10.1.95.1 is working for me. YouTube videos are a little choppy. Does 10.1.120 improve the YouTube video performance?

Yes, I think the 10.1.120 improves everything. The previous one was working fine for a week and then all of sudden web pages were force closing.. I have had the gtab only a week now, so maybe it was just a fluke that it even worked. The previous poster said he has been using .120...
What I would like to figure out, if possible.. is multiple user profiles. So my wife has her own layout, then I can log her off and log into my profile and have my own layout... that would be sweet!!
My 1st post...need help, please.
I got my Transformer yesterday...everything's great except Flash Player 10.3 won't install. Yet no problems with other apps I've done.
I done it about 10-15 times through android.market and just end up with the message 'this app will be downloaded to your device shortly'...only it's been going on over 12 hours and it hasn't.
Tried it through default brower (app store directly)& DolphinHD...I can see it download, but it won't install.
I think on the 1st download I got disconnected from the server, but retried a lot of times since.
Any suggestions? Thanks!
PS Just tried something I found where Facebook app took a long time to install.
I hit the upper right 'app', saw the download appear and installed from there-that worked for this one and a couple others...but, not for Adobe Flash-tried it numerous times. Still looking for a solution, since this is why I wanted the transformer(s)
Find the thread named "flash 10.3 modded for hulu" or something like that and download the apk from there, then sideload it. From reading your post it seems u were trying to install flash from the web market and not the market app on the phone? If you haven't perhaps try that. Sometimes even on the market app some apps might take a few tries to install.

i've had issues with the market where it will say it is downloading something, but never starts.
easy fix, back out, then go back to the app you want to install and click install again. this solution has worked for me the handful of times I have needed it.
Thank You both for the help! Boy, this shows me being a newbie
I got it and I don't know how long I had it after trying 30-40 times. When I go into settings/applications/Manage applications...it was sitting there!
But, when I look at My Apps it was still sitting there to install and never gave me a message that I already had it. And when I looked at app icons it didn't show up...since learned it's not an application, but a plug in-so I was looking for it in the wrong place.
Lacrossev, Thanks, I did find that thread. Got as far as manually downloading it to my computer, plugged my TF into the computer which it saw....then I got totally lost on what to do. Now I'll search for more info on 'sideloading' in case I need it in the future.
In the end I spent 4-5 hours fighting this and had the fool thing-wow!
Thank you again Elgenja and Lacrossev for taking the time to write! Just yesterday I was going to send it back, now I really like it and not having any other problems...really pleased and learning.
Unless watching Hulu is a must for you right this moment, I wouldn't bother with the modded flash package just yet. It's still a work in progress, the current version bugs out if your browser is ever closed, and requires you to uninstall then reinstall flash to get working again. The install process for it is also a tiny bit gimmicky at the moment. If you just want flash working for everything else, just stick with what you have and enjoy hulu when the modded package works more easily and is more stable. That said, I follow those directions there everyday when I watch hulu on the TF, it works.

I had flash already, but when I upgraded to 10.3, it kept on saying done, but still shows that it's not installed and the "update" button was still available. No matter how many times I press update, it didn't install. But after rebooting it did. Try that.
Had the same problem updating Flash with mine. Had to go into settings and Manage Applications and uninstall the Flash that was already there. Then killed Market app using Advanced Task Killer. Opened Market again and it installed fine.
Hello everyone, I am looking for some help and suggestions. Recently the market on my Transformer Tablet has stopped working. I am no longer able to search for any apps. I can browse the market fine but searching for anything will only bring up random books. I have the US version and have had it since the release. I am currently stationed in Japan with the Marines but have not noticed this issue until within the past couple weeks. Originally I was running Revolver 3.11 when this all started happening and then upgraded to 3.11.1. Within the market I can start typing "tita" and the search will bring up "titanium backup" as a suggestion but neither clicking the suggestion nor finishing typing the whole thing myself, will bring up any results. I have tried many apps and games and all produce 0 results. Even apps that I am looking at while browsing will not show up once searched. Here is everything that I have tried to fix this.
First I tried using the online market to install apps. I can find an app through the online market and it even shows my transformer when I choose a device to install it to, but once it says your download will begin shortly nothing happens on my tablet and nothing is ever downloaded.
Then I decided to try clearing the cache and data and force stopping the market. This made no difference. I then tried restarting after clearing it all again and no luck.
Next I thought it could have been an update to the market that broke it so I found some of the older versions and tried installing them. I tried versions 3.3.1.2, 3.4.4, 3.3.11, and 3.2.0 and none of them made a difference.
I then tried the market switcher found within the revolver app and flashed that. After that didn’t work I tried the market enabler app as well as the market unlocker app but still had no difference.
After all of that I started trying different roms. Each time I installed a new rom I would wipe the data/factory reset as well as wipe the cache and dalvic. I first went to an older version of revolver 3.9.5 followed by the Krakd 1.5.2 rom and then Android Revolution HD 2.3.2. Changing the roms did not make any difference. Then I tried using the super wipe flash files from Android Revolution and then installed the roms and it was still a no go.
I also decided to see if it was my internet so I switched to tethering it to my Desire HD. But still no change. On another note, my cell phone as well as my GTab all still have working markets.
Finally the last thing I’ve tried was a fix used for the GTAb here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=861044&highlight=market+fix still nothing as well as the steps found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1411288
I have seen a similar post in the revolver thread but the member seemed to just need a fresh install to fix his but that did not work for me. I have also found a couple posts on other forums with some people having the same issue but there are no solutions. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you very much in advance.
I think the market is blocked in certain countries like China, Japan might be one of them too.
If it is blocked on an ISP level you would need to use a proxy
Hi
Have the same problem. I'm in another country allso. I asked Google for help, and after 13 mails it is still not working. But I have this problem on SGT P-1010 (no 3g) and TF 101 (no 3g). They claim that device cannot determine it's location!
All the time I had absolutly no problem with market on my SGS phone! Even If I try to do anything on Market while both were on wifi, it was all the same. SGS search and purchase yes, tab no.
Browsing, serarching, purchasing on PC and sending on device is working only fpr phone, tab is greyed out "this blabla cannot be installed in your device's country.
But, I found Chomp (search market, or browse as long as needed to get to it). Now, when I want something for tab, I run Chomp, do search through it, press install and it is working. Except purchasing.
Second option, I search and install to phone, backup it, transfer to tab and install.
Getjar and Amazon is an alternative if you can't figure this out.
