Hi guys, I was installing titanium backup the other day, and somehow after the download it got stuck @ installing. I tried restarting my phone, force closing the market app and reopening it but whatever i do it still comes out as 'installing' after it opens. Does anyone know how to fix this? btw im on nordic 2.1 rooted.
Thanks in adv.
(Ive tried going into the market app and clearing the cache, but it didnt help, also i had no 'uninstall updates button both in the market app and market updater app)
Yeah, I've noticed a number of my Market downloads (mostly app updates) tend to get stuck at "Installing". Usually at some point thereafter, the Market app will crash and reload, and things tend to startup sometime after that.
I haven't had any apps get completely stuck like you describe though.
Hm thanks, guess i'll keep waiting till it clears itself :x
hey I'm actually happening the same problem. did you ever figure it out?
Yeah the 2.1 Market seems a lot more flaky than the 1.6. I get a lot of stuck downloads and force closing. (Mostly when I use the Update All function)
ive had a similar problem before. i went into settings > applications > manage applications > market, then chose the options to clear cache and uninstall updates. restarted phone. ran market app, accepted terms n conditions again n all was well.. hope it helps
P.s - jus read your other bit on first post, dont have nordic 2.1 so cant really say, plus in my application settings i have only market, theres no market updater that i can see at mo

Well i was on nordic, then on global and now on rogers and I had all kind of Problem with the Market, not downloading, force closing/restarting, not installing ect...
I don't think it's related to the firmware since my experience.
Now it doesn't want to finish installing updates or stuff I downloaded from the market and when I try to install, Market force close and restart.
I post about it yesterday

Have you by chance been deleting google talk? Without google talk the market encounters all sorts of wonky errors.

Yeah, I actually ran into a problem after my previous flash (and then again when I re-flashed today) that when installing or updating an app from the market once it was downloaded and the install actually started, the Market would FC. As such, I couldn't install apps from the market.
I fixed it with the same process, and both times it has corrected the problem and made the market work reliably.

I did in the nordic version and it actually causes the downloads to be "active" but actually not downloading.
I was encountering a different problem but got it resolved by uninstalling the market updates.
I guess one of market's update Is not very stable
Howdy,
I use a captivate on At&t's network and I was using Cognition 2.36b with no problems(regarding the Market). Now I've installed Cognition 3.01 and the Market does not allow me to bill to my At&t account.
I assume this is because 3.01 is based off a rogers modem(from what I've read??)
Is there anyway to get an At&t version of the market? Or fake the location?
I see V 2.2.11 is out...will these fix the issue?
Thanks a ton for the help! I really appreciate it
don't know if this will work, but download market access: http://amip.tools-for.net/wiki/android/marketaccess
and set it AT&T (310410 I believe) and see if that helps
edit: bah, just downloaded to take a quick look-see, but seems it's already set to 310410 for me and I don't have the bill-to-carrier option
I tried replacing the Vending.apk and MarketUpdater.apk from Cogn2.38.
Also, tried the MarketAccess app.
Nothing seems to get past the problem and let the Market work as AT&T. Probably some Rogers stuff in the rom blocking it.
I also had no luck with the market access app. I never did try 2.38, I assume that the billing option was available there?
Thanks for the replies! Hopefully we can come up with something as a fix
I've also tried Market Enabler with no luck...
Not here either
I'm running 2.3b8 and don't have the option anymore either. It was available on JH7 so it's something with the ROM.
It could be att blocking it....
I am on cog2.3b8 and it worked a week ago. And i tried just yesterday BEFORE i flashed 3.0 and it no longer worked.
If ive done my research correctly, 2.x is based on AT&T's stock rom. 3.x is based on rogers version of 2.2. That would make sense why the market isn't working, and why our markets did work with 2.x versions of the rom. I just dont understand why the market enabler apps aren't working...
Hopefully a solution pops up soon

It works fine for me.
Theres a app call MY MARKET, it will let u browse all the avaiable apps unblocked
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using Tapatalk
Also, i changed my home on my browser. might want to give that a try. i went to google.com, instead of the rogers homepage.
My home was google.com automatically. The MY Market app is good to browse other carriers apps, but it doesn't allow billing to AT&T
Thanks for the continued ideas...
Market Hijacked
I don't know if this is related or not, but I'm posting here because this showed up on my ATT Captivate a couple days after I flashed Cognition 3.01
Whenever I bring up the Market App, I get the following message:
" Warning: Your device may not be compatible with Android Market.
Contact your device's manufacturer for more information. "
Also- most of the apps that show up are bogus, and simple searches provide no results. Graphically - it looks just like the normal Android Market app - but it is filled with a lot of nonsensical apps - along with a few genuine (?) apps.
Most have no user reviews, or have reviews like: "this is a test"
Many are "authored" by devs with names like: "Testing pubsite" , "UK developer" , "tester r35" , and many more, similarly named.
In addition to this, my market history ("My apps") was EMPTY, even though the (many) apps I downloaded and installed after the Cognition flash all seem to be available and functioning properly.
This behavior did not appear until yesterday - I had been using the Andriod Market without incident for ~ 3days after flashing the Cog 3.01 ROM.
The only difference I saw was that the AT&T tab on the Market's startup screen was replaced with "My apps" - but I expected that with a custom ROM.
It would seem MY phone's Market app is taking me to a different site - not THE Genuine Android Market.
Is there any way to patch the phone's MArket app to restore either :
the Market released with COG,
the "normal" AT&T Market app, or
ANYTHING else that would be useful ??
Thanks in advance for the help !!!
I may be mistaken, but isn't your android id linked to the market? I wonder if you need to use Android ID changer to change back to your original Android ID?

I just got the Nexus S, and it has the old market...
as soon as I got it, it updated to the new Gingerbread but the market is still the old one...which is annoying me.
Any ideas on how to update it?
Thanks in advance fellas
That's how mine was for a couple of days then it updated by itself.

I had the same problem. I got the phone today and signed in when it asked at phone on, and was on old market.
I did a factory reset through the stock recovery and skipped the initial sign in to not restore my apps, wanted to start fresh anyway. I had the new market right away after that.
I don't know if the restoration of my old files caused me to have the old market or not, i came from a cm6 heroc with the old market.
Im having the same issue right now. So annoying.
Hmm...how do you skip the initial sign in? I figure if I did that then eventually I'd have to pair my nexus with my Google account and it would sync my apps again right?
To the person above you, you said that after a few days the market fixed itself. Did you have the phone sync up when you first started it or did you skip that

Just do a factory reset and when prompted to sign in with Google hit skip. Then open up your Gmail and sign in from there.

Ugh, factory reset and lose all your data just to get the new market?
It's not that special. Be PATIENT, it will push to you sooner or later. What about it is soooo important that we feel cheated not having it?
As an alternative to reset, you might just try going into Settings/Accounts and signing out of the phone. Worth a shot.
Better yet if you're rooted just push the new market and save your data. You can use android commander if you're not comfortable with adb. Also distortedloop is correct, the new market isn't very special.

Be careful pushing the new Market.
People who rushed to get it while on 2.3.1 ran into issues with trying to upgrade to 2.3.2 because the update script failed on the crc check for the Market app (and the gmail app and the maps app) when they pushed a copy to /system/app.
You probably want to push the com.android.vending-1.apk file from someone's /data/app folder if you're going to try that method.
Seriously, though, I'd just wait. You'll get in a week or less most likely. Heck, the 2.3.3 release sounds imminent, and it might give you the new one anyways.
yeah, i had to roll back from the new market back to 2.11 market, because the newer version of the market was bugged
or as distortedloop might have been a bad combination of old 2.3.1 + new market = no good
but even now on 2.3.2 i'm still using the old market, just to be on the safe side
Why not just use the superboot img, then just update to 2.3.2 again and have both without any problem?
UPDATE : So the new market just populated on my phone. I didnt do anything. Cool!
This has been driving me nuts. I made my last (successful) purchase without problem about 72 hours ago and ever since then I have been getting this error with any attempt to get a new app either paid or free.
"Purchase Cancelled - Error processing purchase"
I've Google'd it and see it appears many times over the past months. I have tried every "fix" that has been suggested in those messages without any success. I just reinstalled the 3.1 ROM on top of the existing 3.1 install and that didn't help either.
There have been a few instances of it posted in these forums but all those suggestions failed as well. I have no problem purchasing an app off my PC and then downloading it off the TF Market but I can't initiate any NEW app from the TF.
Any suggestions?
If you're purchasing an app from a developer not in the US it is treated as an international purchse. Most banks put and automatic hold for those types of purchases. Call your bank/credit card and see if they put a hold.
Also try installing from the website.

I can't get ANYTHING, including free, paid, local or otherwise. And YES, it works fine from the website. The error is from the MARKET app.
I don't really care for small details.
The market on tablets is pretty crappy, wait for an update, in the meantime just install via the web.
Anytime I get this error I go clear the data/cache for the market app. You don't lose anything, and when you run it again it should work. I haven't had any success with installing from the web myself. The market on honeycomb is indeed pretty screwy. You'd think google would be all over it as it's probably a big chunk of their income...

Been there, done that .... didn't help. To use the the web interface just select the free or pay app on the web interface and select download. Then go to the Market app on the tablet and search for it and then it will download through the app. You just can't make the initial purchase (or free download) through the app.

Yea, you know what "they" say: "The devil is in the details."
i just got my transformer today and the market worked fine with prime v1.4. then i backed it up and flashed another rom, then restored my backup. Now i'm getting this error too.
edit: I just fixed mine with nvflash by completely reflashing prime 1.4
i had a similar issue a while ago on my streak. I refunded an app and could no longer download any apps (previously purchased and free apps). Turns out something went wrong on google's end. Head over to this support page. Fill out your info and choose the option closest to the issue your having. After i filled out that form, i went to sleep, woke up in the morning and could download apps again.
Hope this fixes your issue.
Thanks for the link. I just got my TF101 and I can only search or browse for free apps. I can get to paid apps, through tegra zone for example, but I get a message that says either item could not be found or item cannot be downloaded in your country.

I got a reply from someon at Google stating that they would be investigating my case. They asked for more details on what actions I took to generate the error, I replied back with said details and I'm still waiting for a response.
Right now, since I still don't have anything important on my Tablet I'm switching to a Stock ROM, verified my default country on my Google Apps account and made sure it's set to US (being from Puerto Rico, it was originally set as Puerto Rico), still haven't had any success.
The only way I was able to resolve the problem was to erase all data then reflash the ROM then reload my data. After almost 2 weeks of inability to purchase ANY paid or app or download any free app using the Market app it is now functional again. It failed after my successful purchase of Titanium Backup Pro.
I had Prime 1.5 running perfectly fine but I noticed that a new update came out 8.4.4.11 and I wanted to update to that. Sure enough Clemsyn updated his ROM with .11 so I wiped data via cwm, flashed Clemsyn ROM + Kernel 3a and, before logging into my accounts, I restored with Titanium backup. When I rebooted I noticed I had this market issue.
To resolve the issue I flashed, without wiping data, Prime 1.5 via CMW. Booted. Then went right back into recovery and applied Clemsyns ROM again and now the market is working fine.
New market fixes this issue.

Will they attempt to unroot your device or mess around with the rom?
I am getting the purchase cancelled error as well on Prime 1.6. Tried reflashing the rom but still the same.
The new market works but would prefer to use the old market. Any ideas?
i remember getting this error when the developer of an app refunded my money, after that i couldnt download jack. i upgraded roms and fixed my issue.
I was having the same issue with my Galaxy Tab 10.1 after I flashed a different rom then restored the older rom. I found the solution and it worked for me after following those steps here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1185168
It came to me to go into accounts and sync. I looked at it for a moment then clicked my google account and top right clicked remove account. On starting market after wiping market app cache it asked me to log in with password (which it didn't before) that was it, job done!!! Google account restored on tablet and market working great for a good few days now
The solution does not work for me, still can not get free apps.
I had constant Market issues on stock 3.1/3.2, rooted and unrooted. Played with Prime for a bit and things seem to be a little better, then I installed Revolver 2.0 and have had maybe 2-3 very small issues since (just had to hit the back button or exit Market, then reinitiate download). If you're having issues, I'd recommend giving Revolver a try if you're up for it. It'd probably be a good idea to wipe data too.
I have an Evo 4G with Myn's TwoPointTwo Rom installed and I just noticed that with the new style Android Market that came out a few days ago I can update Amazon Apps from within the Android Market. Well... actually the update button is there...I haven't actually tried it yet. Now, the Amazon apps I have installed don't show up in the My Apps list in the Android Market, but if I search for an app, then it shows me the update & uninstall buttons. I was wondering if anyone else has noticed this or tried updating an app? Can you tell me what happened? Did it work? Did it break the app?
Thanks.
Is anyone else at least seeing this, or is it just me?
how to get new android market, mine still old one
Mine showed up two days ago when I cleared the data for the Market application. Then after opening the Market app about two more times, it was updated.
