About a week ago a friend of mine got a Mesmerize from work (no really a friend!). Since I have a Fascinate he has been coming to me with his questions. For some reason he wanted to change his main google account without doing a full wipe. He admits to clearing data on just about everything trying to get the phone request a new google log in. (Oddly this is not a real simple process? why google?)
Anyway, I got it changed for him and all seems well, except for one thing. His google talk will not launch. It will open and then quickly close. When you turn the phone on I can see on mine that he is logging in to google talk and if I send him a message he can receive it, strange?
Anyone have the apk, I could side load it and see if that works. What supporting files go with talk?
Here is a log of me attempting to open it several times.

Thanks!
Have you tried clearing the data just for Google Talk? Like in Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications

Yes. It's so strange how it "kind of " works. I got a copy of the apk, so I hope when I side load it it will over-write the existing one.
Hey guys ever since yesterday google talk wont sign in i get a notification saying google talk authentication failed and since that i cant download any apps from market...
The apps from market starts to download but it quicks in a second
i have tried a factory reset, clear cache and data from market and google talk worked for 5 minutes than the problem started again and now clearing cached and data wont help...
Nothing has change so this problem occur to me is there any way to fix this? I have a stock rom and kernal and rooted...
Had the same problem. I signed up for g+, and my profile had been suspended. Took more than 24 he's to correct. Go into the g+ web apparently and look at your profile.
With a suspended profile some serviced won't work. For me it was talk and latitude.

Use something like Astro or Titanium Backup to back up the apps that are giving you problems, then uninstall and restore them. I used to have a the same problem and this solved it for me. Also, I would always get a force quit error when starting up certain apps.
Preface: Yes, I've read a bunch of the other threads on this forum about this problem, but I've tried all the advice I've seen and this *still* isn't working.
So, I bought the Widgetlocker Lockscreen app from Market, and paid for it on my credit card. In Market, in 'My apps', it lists Widgetlocker Lockscreen, with 'Purchased' next to it. All the other (free) apps I have successfully downloaded and installed are listed there with 'Installed' next to them.
When I touch Widgetlocker Lockscreen, I get the Personalization screen. I press the 'Purchased' button, then the 'OK' button. This should cause the app to be downloaded and installed. When I press it, a message flashes up saying 'Your item will be downloaded.' Quite soon, in the notifications area, I see a progress bar with the text 'WidgetLocker Lockscreen' below, but this progress bar quickly disappears, apparently without the download having taken place. Just before it disappears, I see the text 'Download unsuccessful' for a split second below the progress bar. The app doesn't appear to be installed and is still listed as 'Purchased' rather than 'Installed' in the 'My apps' section.
I can still install other apps OK; I tried installing some free ones and they install fine. I tried clearing Market's cache (the clear data button is greyed out). I tried unmounting/mounting the SD card. I tried rebooting the phone. This problem still occurs.
Anyone have any idea what else I could do? This is still running on the stock firmware; I haven't rooted it or anything.
UPDATE: I retried the download & install a few days later and... it just worked! Glad I didn't perform a factory reset!
The moral seems to be that sometimes, Android Market screws up on Google's end and they forbid you to download certain apps. This is sucky, but it's not going to be fixed by your doing anything on your phone.
Have you tried downloading it on 2G mode, 3G mode, and WiFi mode? Failing all three, try installing it using the Android Market website on your PC.

What do you mean by 2G mode, and how do I put the phone into 2G mode?

Tried doing that too. It said it would be installed onto my phone but it wasn't.

Like GSM (E/G) and WCDMA (3G/H) and WiFi. Sometimes I find if a download doesn't work on 3G mode, I flip it over to GSM and it works, or WiFi etc. If not, since you just bought it, can you not refund the app and try from scratch?
How do you flip over to GSM?

Dial *#*#4636#*#*
Phone Information
scroll down and "Set preferred network type", "GSM only"
Heh... that just kills off any connection whatsoever.
Does nobody have any idea how to solve this (or at least diagnose why on Earth the download is failing?!) I'm going to withhold payment for this app on my credit card if Google don't sort it out.
Have you tried new market and/or factory reset?

I don't understand what you mean by 'new market', and factory reset seems seriously drastic to fix this darn problem!

Before any resets try this;
Go into settings, then manage applications, then find the Market app on the list. Open it, force stop it, then clear cache, then clear data.
Go back to the marketplace. You'll have to accept the terms and conditions again, but see if that helps.

I'm guessing that you've re-started your device? EDIT: just re-read post #1
If advice from @wnp_79 above doesn't work...then
factory reset? - is unfortunately the next step as the Market is linked to your Google account which can only be removed and then re-added via a factory reset.

Isn't there some log I can use to get more detailed info on why the download was unsuccessful? I can't believe they don't log it somewhere for more useful analysis!

there may well be but i don't know it...I'm afraid.
How about installing appbrain application and installing that and then try downloading the problem application through that...all though I suspect that it will use the same mechanism....but worth a try.
Google have come back to me and told me to do a factory reset as well. This is infuriating, and I really don't want to do it because of a bug in ONE application - Google Market. It's not like there's widespread filesystem corruption or something, which in my mind would justify a factory reset.
I did some more investigation and installed (successfully! other apps install successfully!) the 'aLogcat' app. This gave me quite a bit of useful debug info when I tried to install Widgetlocker Lockscreen. I have the output saved to my SD card and will paste here when I get home from work, but basically it's very similar to the output listed here:
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Android%20Market/thread?tid=0ffa4f4e6cedcfb8&hl=en
Seems like I'm not the only one having this problem. That was posted in 2010. Now seriously guys, are we still talking about a factory reset for a somewhat common bug in Android Market that has been known about for quite some time? I want to try and figure out what's going wrong here and FIX it instead. It looks like h ttps://android.clients.google.com/market/download/... is returning a 403 forbidden, which causes the main Android UI to display 'download unsuccessful'. Why is the download being forbidden?
Have you tried clearing market data yet?

For the Market app, the 'clear data' button is greyed out. It's always been greyed out whenever I've looked there.

try what @wnp_79 suggested in his original post, force close the application then you should be able to clear data and cache (at least that what I can do).

I think there's a problem market side so sit tight for now and don't fiddle. I also have a problem with an app (Titanium Back Up) refusing to update.
Try restart your phone. Maybe, that you have new market update waiting for installation.
Hi all
For some reason, despite being clearly ticked to auto sync, it only refreshes manually.
Any ideas? Some other apps like Words With Friends have also stopped syncing.
I haven't done anything and am running stock 30O update unrooted.
Cheers.

Sync works fine here!
Did you accidentally tik the Sync Icon on the QuickSettings screen and disabled syncing?
No. That was one of the first things I checked.
Have you tried removing the Google account from your phone and then readding it?
If not then clear cache to Google Play Services, remove your Google Account, reboot.
Add your Google Account and it should work.

see if this is checked Gmail app>Label settings> Notify for every message.
if it is unchecked, check it.
I haven't, but that wouldn't explain other apps not syncing either. It seems it is a general push notification issue.
They will arrive if I reboot my phone but after that, no joy

Good point.. as well as to add,
- Any hosts block (Adblock?)
- Blocking permissions to apps
- Greenify (Don't greenify every single app)
- Xposed modules?

Nope, none of that. Running stock with nothing like that enabled.
Oh okay well just give the clear cache, remove acct, reboot, add it again. See if it works.
OK. I removed all accounts including Google, and wiped cache and phones cache from recovery. Still seems like it's not working and have to so it manual.
Still no joy. Just checked GMail and had plenty of emails from last night. Reset phone then I guess.

It was already ticked. Oh well, factory reset.
I wanted to unlock Bootloader and root at some point anyway...

I believe they wanted you to clear cached from Google Services in the app section and not in recovery. I have had similar issues like yours before and clearing Google services data and cache have helped
I did that too prior
My problem has been resolved by removing Gmail update, and now it's pushing again!
Hello all,
I used to love my Idol 3 since I got it. However, I was on a trip last week and all of a sudden, it stopped to sync with my Google account. I can't access anything Google related on the phone (in fact, when a Google app opens, it's not synced). Then, the phone kinda freezes because it tries to sync. It's happening when I try to read my mails, open Google Drive, try to sync Chrome for my favorites...
I wanted to remove my Google account and then put it back on, but I have not that possibility in the Accounts part in the Parameters.
Anyone can help? Should I do a factory reset? The thing is I have a Canadian phone but I installed the US rom.
I was maybe wanting to root it if I had to do a factory reset. But then, from what I read, I would not be able to get the system updates, and could maybe have problems if I try to get them (would not reboot)?
Thanks.
please post screens from settings/accounts/google account/ and other one when you tap on your google account and hit the three dots up right, there should be "remove account" option.
Factory reset is the simplest thing, but you loose all your sms, call history and installed apps....

Using a computer so cannot post screenshots, but the "remove account" is not there when I hit the 3 dots up right. There is just the "sync" option.
Also, SMS doesn't work since the issue with Google started. I can receive messages, but not reply. I use MySMS.
I'm really not too crazy about having to do a factory reset and losing all...
To delete the google account, from accounts select google, then click on your email address and from the three dots menu select Remove account.

I didn't read the post of @DallasCZ to the end ... he says the same ... follow his advice and post screenshots from the menu.
OK, now that "remove account" finally appeared when I unchecked every app from the Sync menu in the settings/accounts/google account. So, I tried to remove my Google account, but it won't do it... Nothing happens after I confirm I want to delete my account.... And the phone appears to be frozen now...

I had this once, I think what I did was I went into apps and cleared one of them apps I think it was Google account manager but can't really remember...
Well, I jumped the gun, wiped everything, flashed the custom US firmware and then installed SuperSU. Now seems to work great (hope it'll last). Another satisified rooted customer!!
