I have purchased a few apps from the market. Like the free apps, my downloads will list available updates. After selecting to update, the apps go to 'Starting download...'
Of the 3 paid apps that have updates available, all of them have been sitting at 'Starting download...' all day today. All the free apps that had updates updated without any problems. I tried canceling and restarting the update, but still just hanging there.
Has anyone else had this problem? I have JF 1.43 RC33 with apps on sdcard
Hi,
I experienced this too.
I think it's a google bug.
Email the app develpoer and tell him you can't download the updates for his app.
He may refund your money or send you the update since you already paid for the app.
Don't email the developers they don't have control over the market. Problems must got through T-Mo/Google
I just emailed developer and he sent me a copy of the new download, says there is a bug in the market right now.

For anyone else.
Ok good I thought I was the only one or that they're watching apps that require root access to ID folks with root'd phones (I downloaded Advanced Taskman).
this only worked for me once, but i uninstalled and reinstalled and it worked for me. i think it was for photoslide, but all the others have not worked by doing this.
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.
So recently, for some reason, my Android Market has stopped displaying all apps in the "My Apps" section. I get this message on the "My Apps" section, " Apps and games owned by this account will appear here." I'll post a screen shot of the error if the need be. I've tried lots of things. I've cleared the app data through settings, I've gone as far as to completely wipe the phone, formatting the entire thing and restarting from scratch. My apps were displayed under "My Apps" For about 25mins and as I was reinstalling them, it happened again. I went back and removed the last few apps that I had installed to no avail. I've changed ROMS to see if that would fix it and still same things. It appears to have something to do with my google account. I've read that there is no way to remove a phone and start over as far as your google account tied to it. You can only hide them. I'm at a lose. I can still search and install apps from the market, and it even updates those apps online in the market. But I can view them on my phone to see if they have updates or to uninstall through the market. Hopefully someone can help! I'm exhausted from wiping and reinstalling. I thought it may have something to do with my TB I was restoring so I went through and manually added each app back ( ALL 127 OF THEM) And after about 30, same error. Thanks is advance.
Have you tried Market Fix in Titanium Backup (Menu>Market Tools). Try Market Doctor and if that fails, Destroy all links and try Market Doctor again.
Thanks for the reply. I do not have the pro version of TB to try that. But if I'm sure it'll work, I can swing the money to get it. But there's a another piece to this puzzle. Yesterday at work I was given a new phone. A Droid Incredible 2. I logged into my Gmail account and installed a few apps that I needed, and about 2 hours in. I'm getting he same error on that phone as well. Could here be a problem with my Gmail account? I'm just not sure if running TB pro on one phone is gonna fix both.

I too ran into a simiar problem over the last couple days. I looked into it through Help and it said the were no longer allowing Dev Phones to download copy written apps to keep the illegal reverse engineering and the breaking down of the apps to build similar apps without the rights from the owner/ dev of those apps. I even recieved a notice saying that an app that I paid for was no longer available to me, and to contact the Dev for a refund. W.T.F. ??

I've been trying to fix a market issue with my SG tab 7.7 so I did a full wipe and reflashed the ROM in CWM.
Now when I go into the market, all my paid apps don't show up as paid, it wants me to pay again (e.g. titanium root, mobile odin etc.) Ditto on the web store as well.
I've filled in the form on the website but I"m not holding my breath for google (lack of) customer service, anybody run into this before?
Checking on my other droids, the same issue appears to be afflicting them as well, even if the app comes up in 'my apps' when I click on it instead of letting me reinstall it wants me to pay again!!!!
EDIT: Please DO NOT BOTHER SUGGESTING any of the normal 'fixes' such as clearing cache/data, clearing google service framework, full wipe, remove and re-add account, check google account is selected etc. This thread is for those of us whom none of the client side fixes work. And yes our web store is also similarly broken. Confirmed its a google side issue via raising a ticket with them. As per google: ""We are currently aware of this problem with Android apps on Google Play and are trying to resolve it. This complex issue involves several areas of the Google Play Store app and is not an easy fix, so I don’t have a good estimate on how long it will take us to resolve it. As soon as I have any updates, I’ll be the first to let you know.""
Just one silly question. Are you using the same gmail account for your paid market apps ? Is the device id remain the same as it is ?
Touch wood, so far I never experience your issue here. I have did several times of full data wipe with flashed more than 10 different roms from GB to ICS and so far my paid apps still displaying as "purchased". It will appear as "not installed" in "My Apps" section if I haven't re-download/restore them.
Try contact google and probably you need to show them your receipts from the apps you purchased in the past.
Same account, I didn't change any ID or whatever (full wipe and reinstall of same rom). Besides its happening on all 3 droids I own (1 phone 2 tablets).
tried clearing market data, cache, force stop etc. no change.
On web store it says I don't own any apps
As for receipts I have it all in my gmail of course but I have to wait for goog to get back to me, the lack of customer service (e.g. I can't even call someone) is appalling IMO. I have over 30 paid apps so this is super annoying, and now I"m afraid to buy any more in meantime until its resolved lest it screw my account even more
Hey, this is my first post ever on XDA.
I just wanted to say that exactly the same thing has happened to me. I've bought around 50 apps on the market, and as of yesterday all of them started saying that I would need to pay in order to install them.
On the web store it says I don't own any apps, so I'm sure this has nothing to do with my individual device. It seems like a problem on the back-end. Maybe some glitches appeared in the system during the transition to Google Play?
Anyway, I'm stuck in the exact same boat that you are. I've reported the problem to Google via their support form, but aside from the automated response that you get when you first report a problem, I haven't heard anything back from them.
I also started wondering whether the problem might fix itself if I buy another app. But I'm also paranoid about making it worse somehow. Sigh...

Oh, by the way, I'm running an unrooted Galaxy Nexus with 100% stock firmware. So I really think this is issue has nothing to do with custom ROMs - I reckon the problem is entirely on Google's side.
Yep has to be if the web store is borked as well. Also under my apps, all, it sometimes throws 'error connecting to server [RPC]' or something like that
Two of my droids are custom (Atrix w/ ICS Cm9 beta, Samsung galaxy tab 7.7 w/ tweaked stock) but a third is stock unrooted (sony tablet S).
poor form from goog they really need to up their customer service, even if 'sorry we know there's an issue with XYZ and we're working on it'. I've also got 50+ apps lol
yup im having the same, I first thought it was due to my custom FW but seems unrooted stock folk are also having this problem. I made a thread about it a couple of days ago and again all having the same issue
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24026026#post24026026
what i found, is if i go to the web store and see my purchase history and click a product, it shows as purchased (like it should) but will not download when clicked, when using the search bar looking for the same app (my case both was titanium pro) it wanted me to purchase.
also, when you try to "re purchase" an app you already have, it will attempt to buy but you get an error, followed by 2 emails, a receipt immediately followed by a refunded email.
on an additional note, "play" has now been added to the black bar google home page above the search results in between maps ans youtube, so it seems they are messing with something
Anyone tried to connect to a 3g/wifi and manually sync your gmail account ? So far I observed is whenever I just wiped my phone. It will take awhile to fully synced back my email, contact, calendar and the last one which should be google market place.
Try don't take any attempts to make it work and let it be under internet connection and see if they will come back by their own. Just don't do any full wipe again, and performs a normal personal data restoration (like titanium backups). Let it be like 1 day normal usage with internet connectivity and see if those missing apps will appear back or not.
My personally experience is that I didn't actually take any action when I see them blank after full wipe. I proceed and busy with my gmail account login, sync back my contact and calendar, then performs titanium restoration and sms restoration. Eventually they just appeared after couple of hours or maybe 1 day or I dunno, I didn't actually care about it as I just know that they will come back to me and so far the app did appear back by its own in "My Apps" section.
none rooted stock phones are also having this problem, so im not sure its anything to do with wiping the cache and thanks, but thanks for the input.

Out of curiosity, have you tried purchasing an app that you didn't already have? What happens then?
I've been hit with this too. My apps on the website are completely gone. The orders are still there, thank god. So if google ever actually try and help I can prove I bought them.
All I did was clear cache and data in the play store on ICS because I couldn't download updates. Did they change clear data so it wipes EVERYTHING server side?
My playstore on my ICS xoom has a completely blank "my apps" page. If I try and update my apps it asks me to pay.
My nexus one on GB still uses a really old version of market (I froze the updater some time ago) and that's working fine at the moment. I can do updates ok too.
On my xoom I unistalled updates to pre "play store" re-brand (so plain old android market) and it shows all my apps and lets me update them without asking me to pay again. Next time I open it, I'm back on the play store with no apps listed in "my apps". So I uninstall updates again next time I need to use it. There doesn't seem to be an updater to freeze any more.
I daren't try buying any new apps in case that messes it up even more.
As a short term workaround try using an older version of the market. The one that works for me is 3.3.12.
I've tried going back to a nandroid from a couple of weeks ago, didn't work. I've wiped, flashed, market doctored, everything I could think of. No help. This is definitely server side.
I've sent emails to google but they haven't replied. I sent a few because there wasn't an option for "you deleted everything on my account for no reason."
"My playstore on my ICS xoom has a completely blank "my apps" page."
My playstore on my ICS Galaxy S2 had the same bug. I installed a free app, cleared my playstore and did a Restart. I don´t know why, but my apps are here again.

Nope, play store on my computer is also blank. The orders are in google wallet, but the apps aren't there in "my android apps".
I know it sounds completely ridiculous, but my account has been wiped on the server. I've attached some screenshots. The first 2 are what happens when I go to play.google.com "my android apps" (I always get one or the other), the third is my xoom's store, the 4th is google wallet showing a handful of the apps that should be there.

Hopefully Google will fix this soon. Or at least reply to one of us... maybe
If you contact the titanium developer he might be able to send you the old version of the pro key. It's just a file you put on your sdcard. He's always been really helpful when I had issues.

I got a reply from Google Play Support, but it seemed like a canned response: it was mostly suggestions to try things I've already tried, such as logging in with the correct account, making sure I've upgraded to the latest version of the Play Store app, or doing a hardware reset of the device.
I replied with a more detailed explanation, and included several screenshots to illustrate the problem.
I also included a link to this thread. Hopefully someone at Google will realise that there's a problem on their side that needs to be fixed.
I haven't even gotten a single response short of the initial auto reply, and its nearly 72 hours. Pathetic really. If I was an apple customer and lost all my itunes purchases.......... GAH google get it sorted
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,

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

Did you subscribe to a conservative YT channel/website or even watch a video at some point?
Sorry for the delay responding. I don't know what I did but the download problem has been corrected. apk files have successfully installed. I wish I knew specifically what the answer is as I mentioned this happened once before. Thank you all. I'm pleased to be part of this community.
