I want to start the Market Updater but since it is a system app I am not sure of how to force start it or if there is an app for this, there are many apps for stopping other apps but none that I know for starting them. My phone is not rooted.
Yesterday when the market was updated I kept deleting it because I was not sure what was going on, I was not given a notice that there was an update or was ever asked if I wanted to update. The new markets icon was not the same and since I am always quick to think something unfamiliar is a virus I kept uninstalling it and eventually took out the battery and restarted my phone (I know I am weird). NE Ways I looked it up on the net and confirmed that there was indeed a new market released and now I want it back so that is the reason for this question.
Please do NOT post or link to the apk, I want to get it through the Market Update app.

search and download in the market named "Startup Manager", once you've open it, you will have three tabs. Go to the 3rd tab labeled "Custom". from that tab you can add an application that you want to start on startup..
hope it helps if i understood your problem correctly..
All of the paid apps In my android market are no longer showing :[ I have done every type o resets besides a full factory reset. They were showing earlier today, my device is unrooted and I live in the US. Any suggestions?
Are any of your paid apps on THIS list? If they're not they might not be showing up because they might not be compatible with tablets. If some are on that list then contact google from the 'help' section at the bottom of the market page from a desktop browser.

I have exactly the same problem the only difference is that mine is not rooted, everything is stock with all OTA's applied. I can see paid apps but cannot install them.
same for me this morning, lost all paid apps from the market. I'm running stock 2nd update in the uk.... ant even see them....
I'm getting something very similar.
Whenever I try to access the market page of a paid app I get a pop-up message saying "Sorry, details page for the requested item could not be found" and if I press OK I get dumped back to the previous page.
However if I press the back button the page I want displays OK and I can install the app.
A quick google for the error message I'm seeing brings up a few reports from Xoom users seeing the same thing so I think Google may have b0rked the honeycomb market and hopfully will be unb0rking it soon.
http://www.xoomforums.com/forum/mot...oad-random-apps-receive-sorry-error-help.html
It's something on googles end as it's not our devices. It looks to me as if they are doing something with the servers that hold the market data. Let's hope they are upgrading something, and adding new features.
There's a good thread on the problem over in the XDA Xoom section
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1057250 which is suggesting that it's a problem with a new version of Google Market (1.0.17) and wifi only devices.
Probably Google has forgotten to add tablet without SIMs to the list of devices allowed to access paid apps on the market (they had a habit of doing something similar for new phones a while ago).
If someone has a rooted device and market enabler installed they could try using that to trick Market into thinking you're a valid device but I have no idea how successful it would be.

Wow, I can't believe I tried that... Thanks for that tip!
Damn, still can't buy not apps tho =[
In the meantime, you can use the website market.android.com
There's been a reply from a google employee to the support thread on this problem saying they've made some corrections and I can now see paid apps properly (though I haven't tried buying any new ones yet)

Yep I just got the same email. Working on my transformer

Hello,
I've noticed a huge problem with the Android Market. This never happened when I first got my Nexus S, it just started happening. A few days ago I uninstalled Angry Birds Rio from my device and when I tried to reinstall Market wouldn't show the app. So I shrug it off and open up market.android.com on my laptop and tried to install it from there. But it didn't work. It said "This item cannot be installed in your device's country.". I live in the Maldives. I thought it had something to do with money or something and it was Rovio's (Angry Birds maker). I decided there was nothing I can do because, well, some people don't even know my country exists. But today the same thing happened again, I accidentally removed "Pulse News" app and went to the market and the same thing all over again. Didn't show up in the market app so I checked market from browser and it was there and the same message came up. Lots of apps disappearing from the market, the same message when I try to install using browser. Even when I scan QR codes to go to direct market links it doesn't work. Surely this has to be a bug of some sort?

Try clearing your data in settings>applications>manage applications>all>scroll down to market and clear data and see if that helps.
If it doesn't work there's a good chance that you really can't download it from your country.
Or
Google did say that the android market will be getting updated in the next couple of weeks and that may be causing the issue.

Yeah I already did that, didn't work.
Looks like I'll have to wait and see what happens.
EDIT:
Ok this is crazy!!! I can't even install ADW! There has to be something seriously wrong!
I've had some issues with the market as well. Are you getting a download unsuccessful error. I fixed this same issue with a new password and a factory reset (I changed my password FIRST!)
Sent from a bird cage, with a swing!
Market Tech support is full of this problem :/
over half of the installed apps don't show in My Apps on the phone
many i can't install, funny thing is doubleTwist via market.android.com gives me that "your device's country" popup, while Market installs it just fine
paid apps i already bought and have on my phone are now marked as not supported and don't show on Market or in My Apps....free don't show in My Apps....meaning no updates to 25 out of 40ish apps installed
Top Paid disappeared from market.android.com....Featured on web and phone now features only 5 apps
whatever they did, they really did it badly
updates, hard resets, any changes to my phone are now not an option until this is fixed :/
This has happened recently in my country(UAE) too. Heaps of previously available FREE apps are now no longer available on the market. Bad enough I can't access paid apps now, I can't access all the best free app. Google has forced me to using this fix for this, use Market Enabler or some other SIM emulation app to trick Market into thinking you're in the US. This requires root. The non-root option is to use an alternative black market(with all the risks).
@babydoll25 no i am unable to even initiate a download.
Google really needs to fix this. A lot of apps I used to be able to install no longer show up in the market and am unable to install from the website either. I don't want to root my phone (not yet anyway) to be able to install free apps. I already tried changing my password but that didn't work and don't think a factory reset will fix it as my brother's Nexus One has the same problem. I think this started happening recently as when I first got my NS I downloaded all these apps. Now they are gone. I find no reason apps like ADW launcher should not be available globally!
Anyone know if Google responded to this issue?
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've read just about everything I can find on this subject and have yet to find a solution. I am not sure if this is phone specific and since this is my first post, I figured I'd try the general QA forum. So here goes:
This all started when I was looking to unlock my SIM for an upcoming trip to Costa Rica. I have a stock ROM Firmware version 2.2.1. in a Samsung Infuse 4G. I had some other things in mind for later like flashing to a custom ROM, but I wanted to get some of the junk off the phone and get the SIM unlocked first. So feeling a little frisky with the uninstaller of TB, I started getting rid of some of what I thought may have been bloatware....family maps, google books, bar code reader, etc. I don't remember now if play store was one of those apps. I really don't believe I did uninstall it. If it was questionable in any way, I left it installed. But who would care right? I had the whole phone backed up.
Ok, so I see that I needed to be rooted for this. So I followed some QBking77 tutorials on YT. Got the superoneclick application and got it rooted with no problem. Then, I followed the suggestion to get Titanium Backup. I bought the paid version and did an entire backup. In the meantime, superuser updated itself and everything seemed fine. I shut the phone down and came back some hours later to attempt an unlock. After boot, I started TBackup and it was hanging on a message saying searching for license. I restarted the app and it kept hanging. It finally gave me a message to reinstall the Pro version key. Well, I uninstalled it...not knowing any better....and then could not download it from the store. The store still had these apps showing installed and purchased. This is when I began seeing the force close of Play Store app.
Ok...I'm trying to provide detail here and this is why it is so long winded. But I began looking for solutions to this issue all over the place. I saw the solutions to clear the cache and data and force close the app...reboot the phone. That didn't work. I found apk google store files and began trying to install those to the SD card. That wouldn't work. So now I got the big idea to reset to factory. I did that twice and that didn't work. Tried repeating all the suggested solutions after factory reset. That didn't work. I ended up losing my backup from before. So what's left?
I figured I would try to flash the ROM now and get a fresh start with a new OS. Well, it turns out that many of the apps I need like root explorer, need the paid version to modify the recovery files. So I found an app called file expert that is free, but I need to have a paid version to modify root files. I also saw a solution to google play which involved putting the apk file in system/apps. But it won't let me do that either without a paid version.
So I'm stuck and very frustrated. I'm caught in this never ending loop where the files I need require google play to purchase and I can't do anything to get it working.
I don't know if I'm posting in the right forum. I'm all tense about asking questions. But I'm really at the end of my rope here. I probably screwed something up without knowing it. But I see that there are alot of complaints with this force close. But many of those complaints seem to be getting resolved. The last thing I tried was to download vending 3.5.16.apk I've been putting these files on my internal SD card and trying to install from there. This is very frustrating. And it even gets more frustrating when you see the solutions can be to download something from the market. If I could do that, I wouldn't be typing this.
I apologize if this is in the wrong forum. And if you want me to take it somewhere else, I will. But I'm at a point right now where I don't care who yells at me. I'm desperate.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: And just to clarify, everything else seems to be working. I tried all the google apps (maps, gmail, etc.) My phone works, wifi, camera, etc. I get notifications of updates....and when I accept (or when it's an auto update), google play store starts and force closes. But other than that, the phone seems to have all it's functionality intact. And now, if I go to the store via my pc, it shows all my prvious app history including installs and purchases, but says I have no device.

i also faced this problem but i fixed it easily!!
go to setting
then select application
after that choose manage application
select the tab "all"
there select the play store
first clear the data as well as cache then give it a try
if still doesnt work
go to setting
then select application
after that choose manage application
select the tab "all"
there select the play store
select uninstall update
and finally ur android market would work!!!!
Get ES file explorer.apk It works like rom manager but completely free. Start there,one of the solutions will work. Also,if you still have titanium backup folder still in your SD card,put the FREE version of the app and see if it'll find your backup. Good luck.

Keeping within the guidlines of the forum....I want to say "Thanks" to everyone for the responses.
In a haste, I found the vid on youtube that showed the Odin method of reverting back to stock/unbrick. This is what worked for me. I did something stupid with Titanium Backup (I think) and that's what got me into trouble.
All is (still) well, I'm re-rooted with unlock code and got all the apps needed for a flash. I'm reading up on ROM flashing to hopefully get a handle on it. Thinking of trying Zues. Just a little unsure of this backup business....like where to put the backups....my pc?
But with all sincerity....again, thanks for the responses.
I do a double backup,nandroid and titanium. But,you're welcome.

I have got a solution!
OK, Perhaps you don't want to see a person who has had a solution, Huh. Doesn't matter....
Here's what happened to me: I has updating my Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S to android 4.0.4 and after doing so found my Google Play Store force closing every time I tried to turn it on. Fortunately, (or perhaps not so fortunately) I had encountered the exact problem before and spent one painful month mulling other the dull fact that it didn't work. When I plucked up the courage to try and fix I found that uninstalling the updates which can be found in Settings > Applications or apps > Manage applications > (locating Google Play Store located under All) Google Play Store > Uninstall updates.
So when I tried to do the same this time, IT DIDN'T WORK. What I gradually found out what I had done was uninstalled Google Play Store because as I had recently updated my whole device, it had worked it's magic on the Play Store. After what seemed like hours getting worked up into a frenzy and searching the web, I found a download link that downloaded the play store back on to my device:
I'm not allowed to write links so on your mobile device search for 4shared and then write Google Play Store.apk into the toolbar making sure the subsection selection is under files (you'll understand once your on the site). You want to pick the one which has the developers name: xurupita_zorro
(Its more convenient to download Google Play Store from your phones inbuilt browser as you wont have to muck around with files... Also, the link requires you to sign up, but I would suggest that you do because it lets you download games and apps for free... but that's irrelevant.
Anyhow, you could always try and download it elsewhere.
Then I opened it up and realised that it too was force closing, and of course you cant install updates on a Google Play Store which never updated. TROLOLOLOLO, not funny.
I Shut Down my phone for a very restless night and when I woke up this morning, I found that it was working fine and I could search the store beautifully!
So, My top tips:
Chillout as things fix themselves normally
Chillout as things fix themselves
Shutdown for the night
try uninstalling updates but be careful if you recently updated device
also the play store can be viewed online
Hope for the best,
Will :highfive:
Don't know what is going on but I can't download app files. Recently updated system on Moto E4 v 7.1.1 and dl's were working.
Tried to download F-Droid and it would not respond. Searched every possibility with no luck. Enabled the proper tab in settings etc. Went to XDA site to try and download an adblocker and it shut down the XDA app after the tab was ena led for settings. This happens on anything I try to do on this app. Immediate closeing of XDA. With any other apk file the thing just does not download. Nothing in the app tray. Just blank. I've tried everything but I'm not an advanced user. This happened once before and I had to reset to factory settings. Would not want to do this again but as they say... whatever
