I get ERROR "an error occurred. Please try again." when i try to buy apps on the market. I updated all of my contact and payment info at google. I can buy apps online and have them sent to my phone. I read through a bunch of different post and nothing seems to help.... I am running Octaine Team Acid's awesome rom which is 2.3.5, not that that should matter. Since i went to that ROM the phone has been better than ever...but i need to be able to buy apps on the market from my phone.. any ideas?
Try clearing the market cache and data...from the manage applications menu.

can you clear the market cache and data. then push the new market (posted in the apps section). once you do that clear data again. go into cwm and also clear cache and fix permissions. then try again. if still nothing, it is a problem with your google account. may want to resync it to your phone.
Worked perfectly! Thanks!

I have recently rooted and installed Android Revolution on my wife's inspire.
However I just realized that i am unable to download from the market any apps. All I get is 2 secs of the downloading arrow before it disappears and i am prompted to
download again. I have tried clearing data in the market app and rebooting to no avail. Internet works as does browsing the market.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Edit, tried over wifi, tried an older version of the market app and still no luck.
Re-install the Rom, ensuring you clear the Delvik and wipe everything before install.
I'll give it a try.

Once done. if the issue continues;
1. Are you getting any error messages when you attempt to use market? When you turn the phone off and on? Anytime?
2. When was the last time it worked? Ever? Are you sure market sees your account and you are logged in?
3. Have you tried going to market on a PC and pushing an app to the phone? Does the app push when you do?

No error messages, power cycling the phone has not helped.
2. When was the last time it worked? Ever? Are you sure market sees your account and you are logged in?
since flashing I'm not sure if it has worked. I am logged in, and can see apps under my apps. Anything I have attempted to dl is listed there, but is not listed as installed.
3. Have you tried going to market on a PC and pushing an app to the phone? Does the app push when you do?

Hve you checked your APN settings? Ensure that they are correct. Do A Search and you will find them.
Try and wipe the cache.

Flashing the rom was supposed to be the first thing you did.
Reflashed, it works

I keep getting an error 101 message whenever I try to update or dl anything from the market. I've cleared cache dalvik and tried rolling back the market app. Anyone else have this happen? If so how'd you fix?

I don't know if this post is too late to help you, or if it will even help at all. You have to be signed in on the "talk" app in order to use the market. If you are able to sign in to "talk" and still having the problem, it is recommended that you do a factory reset from the <settings>,<privacy>, <factory reset>, on the phone. Also freeze or uninstall the Market Updater app.
You do not have to do a factory reset. Clear your data on your market, Google services framework and downloads. Then reboot your phone. Do not do a factory reset, there is no need.

hey guys thanks for the tips...tried all of those things none of them worked for me. this was all on Zues ROM. Switched back to Infused and the problem fixed it self. Going to extract the market version from infused and drip it into Zues to see if that solves it for the Zues rom
I keep having issues with android market. I was previously running Infinity rom with PBJ kernel and was having the problem. When ever i used an app that was from the market (aka all of them) it would work then freeze giving me the error popup. the market has unexpectedly stopped. As well as giving me the same popup error when i just try to click on the market. I figured it i went to a new rom the problem might fix its self. I loaded the Tweakstock 1.4 with PBJ and as soon as it booted up i started getting the same error.
Anyone have any ideas to help?
Clear your market caches, fix permissions, or install a fresh market apk.

I cleared the cache and installed the apk with no avail. Still giving me the error
"The Application Market (process com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
The only way i can get it to work is to go back to the old old version.
Any ideas on that?
I just flashed tweakstock and only 5 apps are showing up in my installed apps. I have restored over 100 apps with tb but they wont show up in my apps on the market.

This happens to me - I just go into Manage Applications and clear data for the Market app. When I go back into it - all is well again.
Ya,just did that and its working. Thanks for the tip.

Check your credit card information on your account. My amazon app store was doing the same thing to me, free or not, until I realized the card I had on the account had been expired since January.

Just a thought. I realized this started for me the same day I added another phone to my account. Of course the other phone is for somebody else with a completely different Google account, but this is the only variable I can think of. Do you happen to be on a family plan or anything like I am now?

No. I have installed Juggernaut 5.0 for my Samsung Galaxy SII. I don't think I had this problem yesterday when it was installed. I've wiped cache, dalvik rebooted and all.

Google apps are all out of wack for me. I installed Gmail update and problems started to occur. Think it's on Google's end. You can try and reflash gapps? Maybe that will help?

If you don't know, then it doesn't really apply to your situation.
For clarity...cyanogenmod and a lot of the other roms aren't really suppose to include g(oogle)apps. These are the apps developed by Google such as maps, Gmail, play store/market, etc. So when you flash a custom rom like cm7 you also download and flash a zip file which installs these on your phone manually. All done through clockworkmod recovery.
I noticed that basically any of the less-popular apps in the play store can download and install without a problem. Only popular things like angry birds space and some of the other random things I tried seem to have this problem.

What my fellow xda user just said! Do a quick Google search for latest gb Google apps. Download file and flash in recovery think latest is 8/28
Only if you running gingerbread base rom
Edit : http://goo-inside.me/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip
There you go.. Put on root of sd card and flash. Cwm will do the rest

Well I can say there are A LOT of forums on here regarding this issue - however they date back to over a year ago. I've uninstalled some system apps (My Account for T-Mobile) and other non-essentials. I don't assume that is an issue. But like I said the past couple days it gets that error. One forum suggested removing the Google account then reinstalling, however my phone says it requires a factory reset for this. I've already spent lots of time customizing my ROM... Any other ideas?

No you can access the market via pc also. If you get errors as well then it might be Google.

I seem to be able to fix this problem by turning off Wi-Fi, clearing market cache/data, and then restarting the Market/Play Store and setting it up using T-Mobile's network instead of Wi-Fi... Billing to the T-Mobile Bill seems to work fine after that.

I just got a refurbished s3 from verizon..I forgot to save my titanium backups. And ever since I set up this phone I have not been able to download any if the apps that I paid for in the play store.it is giving me a message that says the app cannot be downloaded due to an error 403...I have looked around online and done all the steps I could find that have worked for other people having this issue.. ( wiped data, restored stock operating system as I was rooted, wiped data for play store app, uninstalled updates for play store, and I also removed my payment options from my Google wallet.) I even called Verizon and went through their troubleshooting and they transfered me to Google customer service. They were not able to resolve the issue either, and now I have been playing email tag with their advanced tech support team for about a week..they have not been able to help either.. If anyone else has had this issue and been able to resolve it I would really appreciate any help you could give me..
