Market won't let me purchase - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm running CM7 and had an issue I noticed yesterday with my market. I am able to download free apps and games as well as update currently installed apps. I am unable to purchase new apps and I get a generic error message stating "An error occurred. Please try again"
Anyone else having this issue and is there a way to fix this?
Btw running market 3.2

I dug myself a deeper hole now i cant even run market cause im getting com.android.vending force close which i havent been able to fix for the past 3 hours. Market Enabler might be the soloution for the initial problem however.

My issue on my Evo was market 3.2. I had to go back to 3.1.3 and let it update to 3.1.5. After that no problems

Market app acting weirdly

Hi guys, I was installing titanium backup the other day, and somehow after the download it got stuck @ installing. I tried restarting my phone, force closing the market app and reopening it but whatever i do it still comes out as 'installing' after it opens. Does anyone know how to fix this? btw im on nordic 2.1 rooted.
Thanks in adv.
(Ive tried going into the market app and clearing the cache, but it didnt help, also i had no 'uninstall updates button both in the market app and market updater app)
Yeah, I've noticed a number of my Market downloads (mostly app updates) tend to get stuck at "Installing". Usually at some point thereafter, the Market app will crash and reload, and things tend to startup sometime after that.
I haven't had any apps get completely stuck like you describe though.
Hm thanks, guess i'll keep waiting till it clears itself :x
hey I'm actually happening the same problem. did you ever figure it out?
Yeah the 2.1 Market seems a lot more flaky than the 1.6. I get a lot of stuck downloads and force closing. (Mostly when I use the Update All function)
ive had a similar problem before. i went into settings > applications > manage applications > market, then chose the options to clear cache and uninstall updates. restarted phone. ran market app, accepted terms n conditions again n all was well.. hope it helps
P.s - jus read your other bit on first post, dont have nordic 2.1 so cant really say, plus in my application settings i have only market, theres no market updater that i can see at mo

Well i was on nordic, then on global and now on rogers and I had all kind of Problem with the Market, not downloading, force closing/restarting, not installing ect...
I don't think it's related to the firmware since my experience.
Now it doesn't want to finish installing updates or stuff I downloaded from the market and when I try to install, Market force close and restart.
I post about it yesterday

Have you by chance been deleting google talk? Without google talk the market encounters all sorts of wonky errors.

Yeah, I actually ran into a problem after my previous flash (and then again when I re-flashed today) that when installing or updating an app from the market once it was downloaded and the install actually started, the Market would FC. As such, I couldn't install apps from the market.
I fixed it with the same process, and both times it has corrected the problem and made the market work reliably.

I did in the nordic version and it actually causes the downloads to be "active" but actually not downloading.
I was encountering a different problem but got it resolved by uninstalling the market updates.
I guess one of market's update Is not very stable

The last time everyone panicked over not being able to access the market, blaming their phones and looking for solutions, it turned out that the Market itself was down. Google fixed it and all was well with the world again.
I wonder how many people bricked their phones trying to 'fix' the problem at that time?

[Q] amazon app store down? cant sign in

I am unable to log in to the amazon app store. Tells me there is a temporary error and this has happened since yesterday. Anyone else or a fix?
Its working for me but it is very slow. Try uninstalling and reinstalling the app.

I have the same problem. I have no issues on my old backup of unity but if I flash any other ROM i cant sign into the app store. Says temp error.
Figured it out. I had to many devices registered under amazon. I went through and de-registered them and I got right into the app store.

Marketplace down?

I can browse the market but when I try to download and app it says:
Service Not Available
Marketplace isn't available at the moment.
Please check back in a bit.
Error code: 805a01f4
Anybody else having this issue?
I have the "Info not available at the moment. Check back in a little while" error.
I believe they are updating the market to add the apps that were put on hold.

Not available!
Hi all
So, it seems to be up again but for lots of apps (some that were showing as available this morning) are now showing as not available. I get a message saying that the software may need to be updated, or not available in my region.
Anybody?

Stop whining, marketplace isn't even available in Finland through the phone which basically means I can't install any apps fml
its working here (Germany) without any limitations (I think). Any Apps with you cant download? I would try to DL them and report
i had the problem too, but now it works since yesterday.

Play Store Problems

Does anyone know why the play store won't allow me to download certain apps? I've tried the portal app and instagram and both of them give me an error message after it downloads saying, "Package file is invalid." I've tried clearing data and cache for the play store and still it doesn't work. I had the same issues with my Droid x2 with the same apps.

Update: So for anyone experiencing this same problem I found a solution on Android Central forums. I turned off wifi and downloaded the apps using my 4G and it worked flawlessly. Not sure why it experiences this problem when trying to download or update over wifi with certain apps.

I have had the 403 error and did the same thing. On WiFi I get issues on 4g it works fine. No clue why though.

Google said they are aware of the problem and are working on a solution.
