WP7 Marketplace down - again? - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I just reset my handset to factory defaults and I am now in the process of re-downloading all my apps. After a bunch of downloads my phone decided to stop downloading and tell me "The information can currently not be retrieved. Please try again later". I've had this error message several times in the past, it always was the result of the marketplace being broken and I had to wait a few hours/days for MS to fix it. Does anyone have the same issue? How come this happens so often, lately?

I can't seem to download Optical Illusions Free, but every other App works fine.

"Download Unsuccessful" Market error

I'm running TnTlite 4.1. I can't seem to keep my GTablet running for more than a couple of days before something goes wrong and it becomes unusable. Whether it's acore errors, ADW launcher crashing and requiring constant reboots, or now the newest inability to download from the market, it always seems to be something. The advice for most of the problems is to just re-install TnTLite, or whatever rom you're using. Do people view this as a reasonable solution to every problem, where you're constantly just waiting for the next time the thing breaks again?
Anyway, I am now completely unable to download anything from the Market. Everything says the download failed. I see the issue popping up on other devices, and workarounds to fix which involve clearing cache on the Market and several other Apps (some of which I don't have), but this isn't working for me. Has anyone else come across this issue? How did you fix it? I'm about at wits end with this tablet. I've spent way more time attempting to make this thing usable than I have actually using it.

cannot load market apps

I'm having trouble getting market apps loaded, they act like the loaded. I can eventually get the to install, but its a PITA. Updates as the same issue. I'm n overcome Hermes GSM t-mobile.
Any help?
I have had this - its intermittent. Give it a few days, it might clear up. There was a you tube video solution to this, maybe check that out.

[Q] Play Store v. 5.1.1 crashes immediately upon opening, HELP!

This issue has just started happening to me over the past 2-3 days, and I cannot figure out a permanent fix for it! Let me start by saying that my OPO is not rooted, and the only updates to the ROM have been the official ones that have been released (I'm currently on CM version 11.0-XNPH44S). Every time I attempt to open the Play Store, it crashes immediately afterward with the "unfortunately google play store has stopped" error. I looked at the error report and it states : [CRASH] com.android.vending threw java.lang.IllegalArguementException as the subject then the first line of the content reads: "java.lang.illegalarguementexception: view android.widget.listview{41ab7730 VFED.VC. .F...... 0,0-1080,1845 #7f0a02dd app:id/play_drawer_list} is not a drawer".
I know nothing about Java, so I have no idea what this means, and there are 18 lines of equally incomprehensible text after that. I've tried clearing the data, cache, etc. from the app with no change. The only thing that works is when I uninstall the updates, taking the Play Store back to v. 4.9.13. However, in almost all cases it auto-updates immediately back to 5.1.1, so I'm still not able to use it. I read somewhere about disabling the background data usage in settings, but then you're not allowed to download anything from the store.
Is anyone else having the same issue, or can you suggest an idea as to how to fix it without my rooting the device and having to back up the nearly 700 apps I have on it? TYSM in advance!

[Help] Google Now network errors

I'm having some serious problems with Google Now.
About a month ago, maybe a little more, I noticed Google Now wasn't updating anymore. I had a card at the top that said "No internet connection. Content last updated x days ago." Weird, because I hadn't done anything different or noticed any other changes. Since then, I've tried everything to get it fixed. Whenever I first open the app after a clean flash, the initial "accept these things" comes up, but when I hit "Yes, I'm in," I get a toast notification saying "Network error. Check your network connections and try again." My connections are definitely working, as every other app works. I've tried on wifi and 3g/4g. Clearing app cache/data. Wiping system/data/caches, reinstalling. Tried 4.3, 4.4, 5.0, 5.1, stock, and TW. Tried multiple gapps. Tried different Gmail accounts. All do the exact same thing.
I've done quite a bit of research on the issue, and have come up empty so far. This suggested reviewing my connected apps and removing old or unnecessary ones. Nope. This and this suggested deleting card preferences, which seemed to work for a lot of people. Not me. I tried that, but got a toast: "Failed to turn off cards due to a network error. Check your network connection and try again." Some other place I can't find anymore mentioned checking my wifi proxy. Nothing wrong there though. The only thing yet to try that I can think of is a full-wipe odin, and I'm hoping to avoid that.
Has anybody else experienced anything similar or have any advice?
TL;DR Getting network errors for Google Now, even though my network is fine. Wiped, tried multiple ROMs, even multiple Gmail accounts. Still same error.
Hi,
did you ever get this issue resolved? I have tried everything too and still can't use google now. please help if you resolved this issue. thanks!

Unable to use 85-90% of my apps since last OS update a few weeks ago

Hi since the latest OS upgrade all of my apps now say "No apps can perform this action" anytime I try to use them. I can load them, but if I try to login or press the majority of the buttons in almost all my apps I get this error. I pretty much can't do anything on my phone anymore other than phone calls and SMS. this is also affecting browsers. I can't click a link to another website from a website without getting the error. it's just everywhere. I've done searching on google and most people that have this problem it seems to be directly related to the youtube app, but mine is affecting almost all of them. Any able to advise what this might be?
Clear system cache on boot menu.
You may need to reload.
After a major firmware update it's best to reload.
Not doing so may cause erratic and unstable behavior.
