I have tried two market fixes here and one from youtube. Non have worked for me so far. Each time I wipe and start from scratch, I cannot find any of my purchased apps. I cannot search for even the most common apps! Can someone help?
Here is what I did after I purchased it..
1. Ran the root exploit. Gained root access on the device with the Viewsonic UI.
2. Downloaded Rom Manager and TnT Lite 2.2. I installed TnT Lite without installing clockworkmod though. Didn't run into any problems.
3. Noticed the Market problem and immediately searched and asked here and wound up doing the fix thats on top of this page.. Nothing, followed all instructions.
4. Did an older Market fix, tried a youtube market fix.
I am not getting desperate though as I just got it today and I'm having a blast with the flash 10 web browsing and wifi tethering on the go.
Thanks. Sorry if this doesn't belong here.

Seems like quite a few people have been having this issue, myself included. Just keep trying it should eventually work. Took me an hour or so to get it working last night on the Vegan alpha.
Only thing I can think of that I did differently the time it finally worked was immediately after seeing the error in the market power down, didnt click ok, just powered down immediately. Not sure if that had anything to do with it or if it was just coincidence but give it a shot.
Here is a youtube video on how to fix the market place. You will
also need to install titanium backup too.

I did the market fix from the video and it does work.

I dont think his issue is with doing the fix, its that for some people the fix doesnt work on the first try and takes some repeated attempts to get it to work.

oh .. didn't know that was a issue .. it worked on the first try I did it ..
Looking forward to the next release of TnT lite ..
@necromonger89 I'm not certain we totally understand the effect of using ROM manager to flash TNT Lite over stock on the data in the user partition, or for that matter, switching from stock TNT to TNTLite without wiping data, or at least cache. I highly suggest installing clockwork mod, wiping everything, and flashing TNT Lite or other ROMs that way for now, because we are pretty certain the Market fix will work for you then.

I haven't yet been convinced that anybody has done these fixes correctly (with a normally flashed ROM and clean user data, at least - the original poster in this thread is in an unusual situation) and had them not work on any consistent basis. I sincerely doubt that some sort of fundamental hardware difference makes Market fix sometimes work, sometimes not.
With some ROMs, like ZPad, I have had to reboot 2-3 times before Market could repopulate it's cache (i.e. every time I started Market it would error again after doing the fix - this is the non-Titanium fix, i.e. clear Market cache, force stop market, clear Google Services Framework data, force stop GSF, start Market and let it error, then reboot). And I had to make absolutely certain wifi was connected after reboot and good signal strength before trying to start up Market, or it would error out again, I'd have to reboot and try again.
On the VEGAn ROM, on the other hand, the Market fix works the first time every try, although with alpha 1 it screws up the Camera (fixable by reflash of ZIP).
Most of the people complaining that it doesn't work seem to end up realizing they did something wrong, i.e. they cleared data on Market instead of clearing cache, or failed to force stop one of the apps.
I've done this literally dozens of times now, while I was experimenting with my improved market fix.

Check my post over in the Vegan thread. I wiped data and cache on the device(three differnet times) on the applications countless times and it took me over an hour to get the market working. I must have rebooted and retried 50 times before it eventually worked. Not sure why some people have the issue and some dont.
All I can say that the methods that I've used twice and which worked were the Titanium based Google Services 2.2 wipe and manually using access from the TnT settings, both done under TnTL 2.0.2 & 2.1.1. (Didn't wipe for TnTL 2.2.0 and market is still working...)
Titanium way:
1. Ran market, tried dl (IIRC) been a couple weeks since I did these
2. Titanium to wipe Google Services 2.2
3. Ran market no error
4. Settings -> force close market
5. Used TnT setting -> apps force closed market
6. Redid Titanium Google Services wipe
7. Ran market no error
8. sames as (4)
9. Redid Titanium Google Services wipe (probably not necessary)
10. Settings -> force close Google Services
11. Run market error
12. reboot
13. market works, but w/usual missing apps, but most there
The key for me I believe was using settings (or any other app that can force close/kill) to FC market, run Titanium and THEN again using some way to FC that which was never mentioned in any of the tutorials at the time that I saw and I figured it out by going way back to the phone(or whatever it was -- it's slightly different as I have TnT setting and 2.2 v. 2.1 in that original hack IIRC) market hack that this was based off of. So this should work:
1. Run market
2. download IIRC -> fail
3. FC market some how
4. wipe Google Services cache some how
5. FC Google Services
6. Run market -> error
7. reboot
(Above steps may not be 100% accurate, i.e. may have missed a step as I haven't done this in weeks now and only did it twice. My other two devices I used ENTIRELY different methods to enable market.)
I did this essentially the first time using Titanium, but that's not necessary as it may also be accomplished by simply using settings to do the FC and cache clearing. The key problem for me appeared to be that Google Services had to be FCed before this works and the version of Titanium(free and whatever it was at that time) wasn't FCing Google Services & also needed to FC market as well IIRC.
I did it using the Settings app the second time as I didn't have access to Titanium when I installed TnTL 2.1.1 which I did directly on the tablet.
(I'll have to keep better track of exactly what is needed next time I do a fw update that requires a full wipage.)

Finally, I don't understand though. I tried this exact method yesterday and nothing happened. Well thanks everyone, I am finally able to get my paid apps from the Market.
I downloaded a game from the market but my phone crashed just before it finished installing.
When my phone rebooted I had lost about 20 mb of internal memory but the app was nowhere to be seen.
I tried cleaning the cache/data and installing market updates. I also tried clearing the browser cache, downloading other apps and deleting that annoying smdl2tmp1.asec file. But still the memory was missing.
In the end I was forced to do a factory reset. It gave back my missing memory of course but after re-installing all my apps I seemed to have much more memory than I did previously...
This is making me think that there have been other times when downloadsed apps have got stuck in the phone somewhere.
Where does the marketplace store its downloads and can I delete them without a rooted phone?
I did a search and didn't find anything that addresses my problem. I've been on SV7 since 9/20. Up until last Thursday the play store showed most apps. Now it only shows 16 to 22 apps regardless of category and when i search for apps I know I've seen before they are missing (ie. Lookout Security). I've forced closed PlayStore and cleared cache and data and it still shows the same number of apps. The only thing I've installed recently was WatchDog Lite.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Try clearing data/cache again, but this time delete your Google account information, reboot, then re-enter it and see if it clears up the problem...
Sent from my rooted Mayan Calendar
it won't show GAPPS ..... i encountered same
no question about updation of GAPPS...
Tried the force close, data and cache reset and deleting acct and ended up losing data connection. I ended up reinstall SV7 and everything seems to be working.
So yesterday my phone automatically rebooted for some reason and now GMail app keeps force closing. Every time I click on the app, it says, "Unfortunately, GMail has stopped."
I've un-installed the app, rebooted, and re-installed from market. Yet, still same message. I've done a factory wipe and installed a different rom, yet still same force close. I can check my gmail from browser but the app keeps force closing.
I can't figure out how to get this fixed. So, any advice or suggestions?

I have the same problem on HTC One X running Viper rom. It started yesterday and I've restored rom from backup, deleted all account data, deleted and reinstalled gmail and the latest play services apk, I've tried allsorts but still no joy. I got gmail to work briefly earlier after reinstalling everything, it synced all my mails and worked perfectly, then as soon as I closed it and went back to it it crashed again. I've read that it's a problem on googles side, so now I'm just waiting and hoping it'll start working again at some point over the weekend...

I figured it out or at least, it's working now. I just flashed the Paranoid Android GApps instead of Banks GApps.

Hi,
From yesterday when I goto manage apps and device in the app store, go into the app update bit and start any updates Google play crashes.
It still does the updates though.
I've tried updating Google play (it's the latest version). I've cleared cache and data, rebooted and it still continues to do this.
I've never seen this before in years of Android use. Any idea?
Have this going on as well. Wiped storages and seemed OK for a couple minutes, then started doing it again. Looks like this is potentially becoming an issue.
Seems to be fixed now with me not doing anything. I guess some server issue......
