[Q] Market Apps wont download or update --keep getting G-Talk failed to Authenticate - Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps

I am having issues with this "Google talk failed to authenticate" repeating pop-up and also noticed that I can no longer update or download apps from the android market. {the weird thing here -- I noticed this a few nights ago on the wife's TF101B, then yesterday it also happened to my TF101B -- both running Honeycomb 3.1 (PRIME 1.5 ROM) but neither my Dell Streak7, LG G2x or wife's Samsung Galaxy S4g which all run rooted variations of Froyo are having this problem -- installs, updates all run fine on the same google accounts}
Is anyone else having this issue with their Transformer -- possibly a Honeycomb or PRIME 1.5 ROM issue, an app market issue, or just google in their infinite wisdom???
When I searched the Forums I found these but it doesn't look like the same issue:
saw this thread in G2x and not the same deal -- I have not signed up for google+
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1154383
Since I don't live in the UK don't think this is my issue either
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=915180
Any help in resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated, since previous attempts at getting quality support from google leaves a lot to be desired, Thanks in advance.

Have you by any chance used titanium backup to restore data? I've had the same problem previously when I restored account data through titanium backup....so to prevent the problem don't restore account data in honeycomb.
To solve it if you've accidently done that, just delete accounts.db which can be found in data/system/ (I think). Then reboot and add your google account back....once done make sure you go in to market and accept the T&C's before launching gtalk.
If you haven't used titanium backup then I dont know what could have caused it......but deleting accounts.db could still work.

Thanks for the reply, Yes I do have Titanium backup, have run systemwide backups of the TF101, and restored a couple apps (file manager, and voodoo sound) but not any system data.
I have never used google talk that I am aware of. I put the voice package/codec in for navagation when I first got the TF101 (about a month ago) but have not used the tablet for any voice/video calls etc. I am trying a full reset (after a backup of course) and if that doesn't work I will reset the google account and see if it helps.
update: 08/11/2011
I tried the reset and removing/re-entering my google account yesterday and it seemed to work, was able to update an app, but today I fire up the TF101 and I am back to the exact same issue google voice popup "failed to authenticate" and can't update or install apps from the android market. :-(
Is anyone else experiencing this issue? again it seems to be only my TF101 running Honeycomb 3.1 (PRIME 1.5) my DS7 and G2x are not having this problem and all are on the same google account.
Any help to resolve this, would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

I've read the rooted phones have trouble.
since you are on eclair, you could use z4root to unroot and see if it works. If it doesn't then use the suggested solution while unrooted

It seems that I have not the official ROM. How can I fix this,
hey i too had the same problem!
What i did was ,
Went back to android market via mobile and synced it once and twice while keeping google account signed off on pc.
and then again loggin on on pc!
see if tht solves your problem!
Create new google account. Remove older account from phone. Add new account info,reboot, then add info of your primary account. Now reboot again and remove info of new account. If it doesnot works then do a factory reset after first step.
Hope it helps you.
i had the same problem, i simply contacted google
and believe me they are very responsive, i got a reply within a day and my problem was fixed
same issue
I have flash my new samsung galaxy s2 with odin and followed the instruction, it turn green..n my phone rebooted, no longer with orange applications n etc. Is that consider rooted? cuz if i put my new sim card in, they will require me to enter the network lock control key...which i thought of downloading chainfire's key unlock sim app..

seriously need help!! tq.
I have the same problem many times. I know how to solve it.
Option 1 - Try downloading any application from ur cellphone. Once its downloaded and installed check the market online.
Option 2 - Try syncing ur account by using Gmail, Gtalk or any google application. Just send some mail or something via Gmail. That should do it.
Option 3 - Remove ur account from the cell phone and add it again
Option 4 - (Wont Recommend this, but you want to you can try) Download another of the market. Try upgrading the market verison. Use this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1328878
If None of these work, it means there is some internal prob. Try after somedays, or flash another rom.
Solved for me.
I had this same issue this morning. And boy, was I pissed off...!! Did a lot of Google search but nothing fixed the issue. And then stumbled upon something on my own, that fixed the issue for me. Here's what you can do -
Login to your Google dashboard; from a PC preferebly. Else from cell is also fine.
There, scroll down to "Android market" and click "Installed applications"
This will open android market, with your already installed apps list, under orders tab. Click the 'Settings' tab here.
Hopefully you'll see your device listed here, but the nickname will be missing. At least that's what I saw. Edit and add a nickname, save changes.
And voila. Your device will show up in the apps' pages now.
Let me know if this helps you.

[Q]Please, help getting the market place to work.

I've just installed clockworkMod v08 and TnT Lite v4.2.5, following the instructions in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865245
I been able to successfully complete all the steps up until you need to open the market place app.
I installed adobe flash player or atleast it seems to work; both newgrounds and bbc news video loaded just fine.
Whenever I try to load the Market Place or Gmail, the screen just flashes and returns to the same screen where I selected the app to begin with.
I suspect that my mistake is something painfully obvious, but I haven't figured it out yet. I believe, I haven't done the following:
Log in/set up your Google Account before trying the market fix
I tried doing this using the contact app, and this did import all my phone contacts, but I'm not sure.
Can someone please tell how I need to go about setting up my Google Account on the G-Tablet now that I'm running TnT Lite v4.2.5?
Thought I would ask before attempt the two alternative methods link in the bottom of the guide I linked to early my post.
Thanks.
tap the MENU
tap SETTINGS
tap ACCOUNTS & SYNC
You can then add your Google account(s)

I don't see an accounts and sync tap in the setting page. The closest I've seen is a family accounts.
Market fix is the one downside to my Gtab. Every time Google updates the app site...I have to do a fix. Last fix borked my tab so bad, all of my system and purchased apps all FC'd on me.
Did my wipe, re-installed tnt 4.2.5 used Titanium BU to restore all my apps and now I too can't locate the sync option. I know it use to be there, but now it's MIA as well.
what ROM are you running on your GTablet?
I'm running VEGAn b1 5.11 and have no problem with accessing the Market (It just doesn't show many of the apps that I have access to when accessing through my Android phone).
TnT lite 4.2.5. and I have the same issue you have. Market site only shows the apps that did an update after the restore was done. I still have 15 more apps that don't up in market place under "my apps", and it's been 3 days since I did my restore and market fix.
One thing I did notice w/ the fix is that it took on avg. 48 hrs for my device to show back up under my devices in the market place. This is now the longest I've gone w/ it not showing up.

[Q] Market Error: "Purchase Cancelled - Error processing purchase"

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 guess you didn't actually READ my OP!
I have been getting this error with any attempt to get a new app either paid or free.

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.

[Q] market does not download apps

Hi, I have a TF101 now running krakd and a t-mobile g2x running miui
Yesterday, i did a wipe and flash krakd 1.4.2 on my tf101 (was from revolver). Then i signed in with my google account as usual. However, when i tried to download apps from the market, it says: ""App name" could not be downloaded due to an error (-101)".
Then, I checked my phone, which is still running miui, suddenly, it could not download apps from market either. (. The thing is that I have not flashed anything on my phone lately.
I created another google account and it works perfectly on the tf101. But when there are two accounts at the same time (on the tf101), it still does not let me download apps.
So I think this must be some kind of issue with my google account because it affected my phone as well
Please let me know if there is anything I could do. Cuz I use my gmail. I dont want to make a new email account. that sucks
Thanks so so much
Did you ever get this issue figured out? I see several threads with the same issue and the fact it happens after doing a factory reset, but no solution to how to fix it??

[Q] Google Chrome Installation problem

I have a problem with Google Chrome and I'm currently on CROMI 3.3 atm. I remembered I uninstalled Google Chrome once before and recently I just wanted to add it back so I could make use of ease with that nice Google account syncing with other synced devices. I tried installing from Play Store, and i got an error code -24. I couldn't find any information on that, so I tried doing 3rd party app installer and even tried using airdroid to do an install from my PC. Both of which could not even install as well.
I can only remember that Chrome was installed as a system app before, but I never did so. The only thing that acknowledges Chrome's existence on my tablet is Titanium Backup. There's a strikethrough line for com.android.chrome, but it doesn't give me any other option to do anything with it. No backup, freezing, or uninstall. Oddly enough, I don't know how I don't have a backup for the apk either.
The point is I'm trying to make here is, should I reflash the previous CROMI that did install Chrome with its package? I was on 3.2 before coming straight to 3.3. Is it safe to do that?
The one other thing I'm hoping would work is ask someone on here for their Chrome backup and restore it through Titanium. It's a chance that it would probably work, but I would like some thoughts on that.
Any help is appreciated, thanks... ~__~
