[Q] Can't download/install any market apps

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

[Q] Google Drive Sync problem?

Hi
I'm using a ICS nightly build for my Milestone 2 and since last upgrade I'm having problems with Drive. Specifically, I get a ! mark on the notification bar stating "google docs synchronization error" and "runtime exception".
I've tried uninstalling, formatting cache, etc., but the problem persists. I know that the firmware seems to be guilty, but Drive appears to be fully functioning. Google gives me 2 or 3 results only with this problem so it's not very frequent.
Any ideas?

Me too! What's up??

Same error but w/o ICS
I started having the exact same problem yesterday, but I'm not running ICS on anything yet. I have an un-rooted EVO 4g and an un-rooted Galaxy Tab 10.1 and both are giving me the exact same error!

So?
So, it's safe to assume that the problem is related to Google and not my new firmware? Is ot just a coincidence?

I'm running an ICS rom on my phone. Just tested Google Drive and seems to be working for me right now. Was able to open some docs.

Mine works too, and everything seems to be synching ok, but I get the message no matter what..

sync is working for me as well

This error just popped up for me as well this morning.
I'm running stock, un-rooted ICS on a Galaxy Nexus, so I'm not sure how it could be a firmware problem.
**EDIT**: if I recall correctly, the only unusual change I made this morning was signing up for the Hello Fax Service. Is anyone else having the problem using Hello Fax?

I have been getting the same errors and am also using HelloFax.

I'm having the same issue, and I also recently explored the HelloFax feature on the Drive web site.

I'm not using HelloFax

Drive Sync Issue
I am also having this issue, brand new Galaxy Nexus stock ICS. It seems to be isolated to my personal account. My Apps account works fine.
Just removed HelloFax from my Dashboard and from Chrome. We'll see. Anyone figure out an answer?

No problem here
I'm running ICS for Viperboy ICS Beta 3.1 on HTC EVO 3D with Hboot 1.4......I'm having no issues with google drive.....

No issue with google drive.
Generaly working normaly.

I'm just glad to find out I'm not alone. I too use hello FAX. But I don't have it installed on my galaxy nexus. I'm starting to think it may have to do with a hardware version or something. My problem didn't start showing up until I got an insurance replacement unit sent to me yesterday. I've read in other development threads that there are 2 known hardware versions of the gnex. Check out the screen shot. The error shows up in the notification bar...

I think it is account related rather than hardware revision. I tried both my Apps for Education account AND a newer personal Google account without issue. It is only my original personal Google account which is causing issues.

Resolved
I thought re-adding my account fixed it but I'm still getting it.

I went back to Google Drive on the web and deleted the HelloFax folder, and that made the sync error go away. I haven't tested to see if it has problems with folders in general or just that specific one.

[HELP] Cannot add google account - can't establish reliable connection

I have been using my XT926 for some months in the UK now and have to say its a brilliant phone. Since yesterday however i have been unable to sync anything related to google (gmail, contacts, etc). I had rooted a little over a week ago so thinking something had gone wrong i performed a factory reset. The reset went fine and the phone booted up to a stock state but when it came to adding my google account i got the error "cant establish a reliable connection to the server...". At first i figured this must be a connection issue but after loading up the web browser i'm able to load all sites including google web mail so my connection is perfectly fine. I then got hold of my galaxy tab 2 and checked my google sync status on there - it was working fine. I'm now sat here with a phone that has no google services and i'm wondering what has gone wrong ? I've searched online and many have similar problems where clearing the cache or factory resetting has solved it but in my case this hasnt helped. Any ideas ?

checked this thread already, I assume!?

Hi Stefan, I hadnt seen that thread prior to you linking it so havent tried the solution. I'll re-root my device and give it a go but after factory resetting i'm sceptical to this working. Something would appear to be seriously wrong with my phone.

Hi Stefan,
Just wanted to say thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Rooted, deleted hosts file and all is working again. I guess the factory reset didnt restore the hosts file from when i previously rooted. I'm just happy to have this amazing phone back working again !

Great to hear I could help. thanks for the feedback - that's why I like this community. Have fun!

[Completed] [Q] play store

hi there im hoping someone out there can help.
i have an m8 which i rooted last month after rooting i quickly decided that it wasnt something i would actually get the use from and so unrooted it and restored the factory rom. since then ive been plagued with rcp errors when using the play store. sometimes clearing data and caches works but other times its days later before i can install the apps i wanted.
after hours online and more hours playing around with the phone a realized that when i go to settings/apps/googleplayservices all options are greyed out, it seems like the app has been disabled somehow and dosent seem to be a way of re-enabling it finding it in play store it allows me to open it and gives me the option to disable it from there but even when clicking it it dosent seem to have an affect. im hoping that by rooting it and unrooting i i havent screwed something up.

Hi,
I need to know which M8 you have. There are seperate sections for each model/carrier. Then I can point you to a place to ask for help. ?

[Q] Help needed Mobomarket apk

Dear viewers,
I find this forum very nice.
I have a question of anyone can answer?
I was using Samsung S4 black edition.
I was browsing over the Internet( the application which comes by default to browse internet) mobo market. Apk file started downloading. I thought it was a system update, I forced stopped. It started downloading again and then I didn't touch it. I removed it from the download folder.
Next day I did a factory data reset on my phone. And never signed in to any service like Google play or Samsung apps or anything. The home screen came up normally. When I connected to wifi opened the browser I figured mobo market started downloading again. Why did this happen?
Is it normal? Like after a factory data reset erases it all then why it started downloading again? Has my phone been hijacked?
Thanks in advance!!!
