[Q] "Attention Required. Press Here" during updating Apps from Marketplace

Dear All,
I am having a prob for the past week or so. This happened after the marketplace in my phone was updated (my marketplace search bar shows Applications and Games Search now. The music search is gone.).
The problem is that whenever any of my apps have an update, I click on Update All and then instead of downloading the new updates, all the Apps show "Attention required. Press Here".
1. I pressed and retried. Didn't work.
2. I long pressed and retried, that didn't work either.
3. I long pressed and deleted the update, and tried updating again and that didn't help.
4. Restarting phone was of no use either.
Can anyone please help me with this? The only way I update now is delete the app altogether and re download the app. This is quite annoying as I lose the settings on some apps and have to enter them again.
I am using a T-Mobile UK unlocked Samsung Omnia 7 with the NoDo update.
Thanks!

Read this thread.

And for future reference and search:
Why do I get an "Attention required. Tap here." message when I try to download an app or game?
Your phone might have temporarily lost its Internet connection, or you might be trying to download an app that's too big to download over your phone's cellular data connection. If you're trying to download an app larger than 20 megabytes, you'll need to connect to a Wi-Fi network, or connect the phone to your PC and use the Zune software.

Cheers. I did search before a few times and did not find what I was looking for. Thats why I posted here to hopefully find some answers. Thanks again.

I have read all that before plenty of times and none of the solutions have worked for me. It doesnt work over wifi and the apps I download are all less than 1mb. Moreover, I know that anything greater than 20mb required me to download through Zune connection. My phone software is also up to date.
So back to square 1 for me.....

just wait.. it is a temprary problem..

Ok. Will wait for a fix....

Where it says "Pending" did you try holding your finger there and hit retry? (After you established a wifi connection)
It won't auto download it till you do.

No I haven't. But will definitely give that a try next time.

I am actually having the same issues sometimes in UK Marketplace. However, after a while, they "mysteriously" go away and I can download.
Which makes me think it's either a temporary issue on the server or something like that.
In other cases, it worked when I switched 3G off, but I think that's more of a network provider problem.

Know what im talking about
Hi Guys,
ive had this issue when NoDo first came out, i updated to NoDo with the ROMS on here and was still receiving same message for any application i was reqesting from Marketplace, i rolled back from NoDo and my markeplace worked again. so i tried few things different by installing different roms and updating and so on, and still got the same issue when the final update was NoDo.
one thing i did notice was that my app would install over 3G but not over wifi which was the strange part, and 3G is extremely expensive when you downloading games and large apps so that definitly was not an option for me.
i am still using the latest release just before NoDo, because of this issue and i hope some smarty can figure it out or Microsoft release a fix for this soon.
ive scavaged the internet and found zip info that helps ! others tried methods that worked for them but none work for me.
btw i have HTC Mozart and in South Africa

[Q] Apps don't restore to phone after bootloader unlock

Apps are not restoring from market after having unlocked bootloader (and phone got cleared).
I unlocked it yesterday and on a first run apps did get updated, and in fact I got the new market as well, which I hadn't had before.
I had to re-do the whole process (lock and unlock) because it hadn't worked correctly (syntax error in updater-script).
This time apps didn't update. I checked from my laptop and my market there did show all my apps (paid and free), although the one on my phone only showed the paid one.
Tried it again today and it still hasn't updated, even though I've let it sit for a few hours. Logged into my market today from laptop again and I only see one app on my account (the only one I've paid), but it might be because it is listed in the "My Orders" tab; there doesn't seem to be a "My installed apps" anymore. The free ones aren't listed any place I can find, although if I search for them individually they are tagged as Installed.
Is "Market" temporarily broken or is there something I can do?

If you've got titanium back-up try running market doctor (settings, more). It usually works for me.
The other option is to clear the data and cache for the market app.
The market can be a bit iffy at times but.the apps usually reappear eventually.

Still not updating...
I've reset the phone completely and have got it to sync with the couple of apps I'd added during today, but can't get back to the old ones I had.
I wonder if it's had something to do with having received the new Market yesterday at some point, but now being on the old one again after the phone reset.
Is there some way I can force the OTA Market update and see if that will sync me back?

[Q] Marketplace c101a247 error?

Hi all,
So ever since I've had my phone I've had problems with the marketplace.
Yesterday I managed to get my Mozart to Mango 7720 unlocked and now it's starting to bother me.
Previously I use to get a message saying marketplace is not available in my country/region (I live in South Africa) now since the Mango update I can browse fine but when I try update or install an application I don't have I get the c101a247 error. Been happening since last night.
IE cookies are enabled, makes no difference whether the GPS is active or not and no difference whether I use WiFi or my cellular data connection I get the same error.
Anyone know why I'm getting this error and how to get it fixed so I can use the marketplace?
Thanks

*bump*
Anyone at all? Any ideas or suggestions?

Go to mobile phone settings and under region + language put united states and try to install the app.
Also try to login and logout from zune.net from your computer.

Hey schizo, tried that and still nothing.
Its really getting annoying now!

Hi, I had same problem on my HTC Trophy with NoDo. Creating a new Windows Live account and replacing the primary one with it solved the problem. (Of course I've chosen United States as my location when creating the account). Unfortunately to change your primary WL account you need to restore to factory defaults.
I've started my experience with WP7 just yesterday and I am a noob, nut I hope this will help you as well.

Ok, thanks. Quick question (bit off topic). If I reset to factory settings will I need to re-unlock my phone?
Thanks

So quite a thread revival...
I would like to avoid having to factory reset my phone, but think I may need to - so will probably get a new rom and just flash it as I am on an oold Mango ROM.
I am still having the above issue, was getting the .xaps and then just deploying them but now that they are all encrypted I can no longer do that and my marketplace still does not work.
It is going to be really annoying having to scrap my original Windows Live account I have had since around 2006/2007 just because of this - although if its the only way I guess I will have to. Just cannot use MSN on my phone then (I ain't re-adding all my contacts).
Any ideas before I reflash my phone and create a new Windows Live account?
Thanks

No mango after reset

Did a forced update to mango a few months back, since then I have had a few issues with facebook not syncing correctly with my main facebook account (deleted friends still showing up etc.) and was told that a reset would probably fix it, so blindly i did it.
After the reset it looked different to before and on the phone in the about settings it shows as being windows phone 7.5, but dosent look like it did before mango, cant search for apps by pressing a letter ect as this isnt here, on zune it says im running version 7.10 (7740).
So been trying to update via zune and nothing is happening, anybody got any ideas ?

7740 is actually one version after Mango. The latest update that fixed some issues with Exchange 2003. So you're absolutely up to date. The reason why the alphabetical jump list is missing might be that you lack the minimum amount of apps installed. The jump list only shows up if you have more than 40 (or so) apps installed on your device.

That is Mango. You just can't search because you don't have the minimum required amount of apps for it to appear.

Cheers for the info pretty sure i hadnt installed over 40 apps before, but I never counted..

[Q] zune isn't notifying me about app updates

Zune isn't notifying me about new updates for games or apps, unless i have at least 20-30 updates at once, which is very rare. And i know that there are updates for different apps if i enter the app in the marketplace, go back, and enter again.
How can i force it to show me available updates when i connect it to the computer?
I have a HTC 7 Trophy

Interesting, i don't think i have ever left mine on zune long enough for a notification. What about in the martketplace on your phone? I usually update it from my phone. I have noticed though wpcentral.com gets updated before i do by about 1 day. I will see them talk about and review an app update then the next day i get it. (or if i go to the app in the marketplace and refresh sometimes)

Both the phone and zune notify me only when i have 20-30 app updates...is it because i live in romania and i chose UK marketplace? (didn't know what country to choose because romania isn't listed). Also my phone doesn't have attentive phone (it isn't in the marketplace anymore) and HTC support said there will be an update for HTC in a couple a days but i highly doubt that because he said at some point "HTC isn't an app maker"
So...any solutions to my problems?

i faced a similar problem when my phone was developer unlocked. The marketplace on the phone NEVER showed me any updates. I had to go to the app page in the marketplace to see if an update was there. Strange yet true

Most likely then it is because of the location. Romania i don't think is still listed in the marketplace. I'm betting somehow it ignores your setting and trys to use your location 1st.
What o/s version you on? mango yet? or above?

7.1.8107 of course. developer unlocked via student, but not interop-unlocked.
There must be a way to force checking for updates...it's been 2 weeks since i had my last official app update notification
