Today I received my new shiny Asus Transformer, everything works great except the Market itself...
I can't even download any apps, paid or free. When I try to download any apps, it start like trying to download, but there is no progress on notification bar and it just keep like that.
I reset the tablet several times, also, cleaned the cache of the Market and Framework services, shutdown (restart) several times... nothing
Is this happening to anyone? I searched this forum and performed the steps above, but still nothing...
Please, help
Have you look into My App area, you will see, not installed list of apps. I get that as well...I am not sure if it's a bug or intended. Sometimes, it would stay at download forever. I got to go out and go back into the Market and redo it all over.

Yes, sometimes the apps I am trying to download don't even appear there and sometimes it does. When it says "Installing" sometimes, 1 hour can pass and still nothing... no progress on the notification bar.
In fact, I can't install anything from there, not even using the website version, https://market.android.com/
I had/have this same issue I think its a bug in the market app. I've just flashed the new firmware and it seems to work OK now.
My solution was to press back over and over until I exited the market fully, then start a new instance of it. Works on and off.
Ill let you know if the update solves this issue.

Thanks for the info.
I tried that, still no luck I need to know if this is a widespread issue or not.
I have the EVO and tried to download apps and install them now without any problems.
Also, I have discovered that I can't log in into GTalk either, but I can browse without any issues.

Sounds like an odd issue with your account. Try to check settings, accounts an sync .. and see if anything is amiss. If not, then try to create a new gmail account, and use that to login to market/gtalk. See if there is some confusion as to your phone account and your tablet. Do you have settings>Privacy ticked off for google to back up your apps and sync them? Try disabling if so.
Had same issue and went into settings and had to delete my gmail account and then add it again, worked fine after that!
Thanks for the replies.
1. The Backup and Restore settings are turned off.
2. I have created another Google account and removed the original, still the same problem.
3. The EVO is currently off just in case.
After doing some research, I've discovered that Gtalk have something to do with the Market, if Gtalk can sign in, then the market should works for downloads. If not, then there is a problem.
ok... wtf
After adding a new Google account while replacing the original one, the issue still happened.
Then, I decided for a million times, to make another Factory Reset with my original account again... now GTalk logon and the Market download/install apps
I will keep this thread in mind and report if anything weird happens again.
Android Market hates me. I didn't really want to have to create another gmail account but I have tried every other trick posted and still can't get apps to download.
I had this same problem with my Samsung Fascinate. 3G would download fine but I couldn't get WiFi to work until just recently when I updated the radio that came with the OTA Froyo update plus a new custom rom/kernel. I'm not sure which piece all of the sudden made things work but I was certainly happy. What's so frustrating is that I set up a Droid on the same home network with absolutely no problems from day one.
Amazon App store works fine but many of the apps I want aren't available there. Grrr.

This occurred to me after rooting the TF. I was able to correct it by going into applications and force stop and clearing data on both Market and both google framework services. Then try to restart market, if you don't get a error go back to applications and do it again. Once you get the error reboot, when you try market after the reboot it will ask you to accept terms again and then all is was right again with the world.
I have the same problem. How I can do a Factory Reset?
It was working ok but now it gives an error with the server. Eventually it will download the aplication after trying several times but will fail in the instalation. I have deleted and created again my account with no results.
Welcome to my problem. Another member told me the issue lies with our google accounts and how it syncs up with the market.
I have tried the other methods deleting cache / signing in and out etc. to no avail.
Only solution is to factory reset. Sad thing is it has happened to me 3x in the past 5 days.
I only hope for a solution to this soon.
3 times, that is scary.
Something has surprised me when I upgraded my phone to the new Galaxy S 2 from HTC HD 2 running an Android rom. When I introduced the google account it automaticaly pointed me all the aplications that I had installed in the old phone (free or paid) and give me an easy option to install all quickly. They were identified as my aplications, even they were not installed.
Is this funtion present here? It will remember what aplications I had installed in the transformer before or I will need to look for all of them again?
solution to download apps
press on apps on the home screen. then press on market. this will get you started click on sign in at top right of screen. it should automatically do a sign in with your google account. then go from there
I've had a good hunt around both the xda forums, and the internet, hoping I could solve this problem without troubling anyone else, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Y running 2.3.6 and rooted. I was recently having some issues where I'd get an alert saying "Insufficient Internal Memory", I cleared just about every app out, and was still getting the error, so, in a last ditch effort, did a factory reset. The reset went fine, but for one problem.
The Google Marketplace app wouldn't update to Google Play, and I was unable to download or update apps. After trying all the usual solutions, such as clearing the cache and simply waiting, I got a friend to upload the .apk for their Play Store, which was the latest version and running without an issue. I then installed this .apk, rebooted, and found that the app had technically installed, but the icon was completely blank, the only evidence of it was in Settings>Apps. After three reboots it eventually showed an icon for the Play Store in my app drawer. However when tap it, it starts to open, freezes, quickly flashes an error message, and then closes. The error message isn't on screen long enough to read, but I think I can get the words "Sorry!" and "Procedure".
I'm at a loss as to what to do now. Anyone out there who knows the ins and outs of Android better than me, have any idea?
Just wondering if anyone has any ideas?
What do u really need update to Google play from market?
I always uninstall the update of market to play,. Market is better...
So let mobile on its own upload the martket,dont do manually if u need play...
Then it may be solved,i think...

I am having a constant window that says "weather has stopped" The message comes so frequently and quickly that I am unable to do anything literally. I'm told it's a cache issue and I need to stop the app. I can't find the app listed in Running Apps, and if I could I couldn't do anything about it. How can I stop the app or cure my problem. My phone is totally useless it is a working bricked phone. All help and suggestions are welcome. Thanks.
Didn't you already asked this in another thread? Maybe you need to do a factory reset.
Hello, I have a rooted Metro PCS ZTE obsidian z820 and running Android 5.1 , with stock ROM and I really don't know much but I have been starting to learn.
Anyways I've had to restore a backup from recovery at least 4 times already because one day my phone died and I left it off and let it charge but when I powered it back on I got the message 'unfortunately the process com. google.android.gapps' has stopped' repeatedly making it impossible to do anything. once I restored my backup I searched everywhere , started looking at Logs from alogcat(which im also a beginner at), and cant seem to find any thing actuallly related to MY problem. I need to fix that problem from happening before it happens.
sadly when l made my backup my phone was already acting up and FORCE CLOSING MULTIPLE APPS. i.e when try to open a text message (through the notification or the app itself) with the stock messaging app it will force close. I've been unable to reply or read more then the preview of the messages so I tried to just compose a new message to respond but as soon as I click send it force closes, and the message still gets sent.
The play store also started force closing when I would click 'see more' on any apps description.
Gmail & Inbox by Gmail also force close when trying to read a message . These aren't the only apps that have started messing up. I very desperatly need help I CANNOT afford another new phone. I don't know if it's because I rooted in phone or what? but how do I know?
UPDATE!!: I accidently opened Google maps and I started seeing 'unfortunately the process com.google.android.gapps has stopped ' repeatedly again. I restored my back up again and almost every one of my apps force close upon opening now or it seems like once inside an app I try to read anything like 'see more' or description of open emails or messages it force closes?
Firefox, Apptoid app-store, orbot, Esfile-Explorer pro, lucky patcher, catlog, are im pretty sure the only mostly working apps.

I can't find a solution to the issue I am having. It happens with all Gaming apps and if I click on a link in Facebook it will close out. The app will close out with no error message. Not sure how to fix it. If traced it down to the initial Google updates after activating phone. If you factory reset the device and stop the auto updates. It will work just fine. If you install the 30 something random google / bloatware apps. The issue comes back. ive also tried flashing the factory firmware a couple times and that didnt work. The S8+ is an ATT phone if that helps.
If anyone can enlighten me, with a fix for this issue that would be grand.
I've search google up and down and cannot find even a mention of this issue.
