Hey does anyone in here know what the pRoblem is with some of the apps in the market getting the package not signed correctly error? It happens if i had a previously themed version of that app. I have Completely removed the old version from my phone, cleared market data also, and still the market will not let me download it. I even wiped my phone and tried a different ROM and still no dice. I flashed the old school market from froyo and everything was good. Why is this a problem with the newer markets? Fyi i don't want to use the old market i want the new one to work right. Any ideas? Or reasons why it's like this?

Nope. note for an example, i have been running Google music i got from the market for a while. I decided to run a themed version cause i wanted black. Well now i want the original back and the market well not let me download it. I don't even have the themed version on my device. i sbf'd and the market still will not let me download it. I have a couple apps like that. I'll never run a themed app again if it means i can never run the normal one again.

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
I'm running the stock "Woot" ROM (which is probably vanilla 3588 with some pre-installed apps, but I can't be certain) and have installed the Market and done the standard "market fix."
I'm able to browse the market, but the website insists I don't have any device. However, the website *does* show things I've installed as "installed." I believe that may be from when I was fiddling with TnT Lite earlier, but can't be sure.
I noticed in a thread about editing build.prop that doing so may break website updating, but I've never had that in the first place. That means that any time I do a market fix or switch ROM's that the Market doesn't know about any previously-purchased apps. I might try risking $1.98 and purchasing something then seeing what happens if I try purchasing it later.
Like others, I'm frustrated by what doesn't appear in the Market that I think should: Firefox and Google Earth in particular.
I think ive found that clicking on a link to an app will open it even if its not found in the search. there was an app i couldnt find earlier but it was there when i clicked a market link to it. installed just fine
If you want Firefox to show up after the market fix is applied you need to edit the build.prop - discussed a bit in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1017368
It also will show up before the market fix is applied. I am also having web market problems - no luck there so far.
Regarding Google Earth... never been able to see it in the market. I went as far as searching for the APK to sideload and it simply wouldn't work. Not sure why - it just froze when opening. I am guessing there is some sort of incompatibility with the gTablet...
I recently put cm7 on my moms gtab, and I found google earth in the market and it runs just fine

I never tried to find Google Earth after editing the build.prop. Just did and it was not only in the market but worked great. Maybe CM7 uses a different build.prop by default than vegan 5.1.1. I must have side loaded an old copy before when it didn't work.

Wrong! Paid applications are tied to your Google Account. As long as you log in to your Google account, all your paid apps are available to you in the Market application. However, if you are using a fingerprint in build.prop that Google does not recognize, your paid Google DRM protected apps will not show up; however I believe all ROM's are using a recognized fingerprint (Nexus 1 on TnT-Lite) so we don't have to worry about that.
I used the RUU from HTC to upgrade my rooted Inspire, and it went beautifully. Everything seemed to restore and my phone feels faster.
However... I have the old market back. That isn't as big a problem as it no longer sees all my apps from the market. I searched and searched but couldn't find the answer. Even more annoying is I swear I'd seen this problem and a solution posted somewhere recently.
Anyone?
Thanks!
I have two ideas:
1. Clear Data for the Market, I've had problems with it and this helped
2. Make sure you have Unknown Sources enabled in >Settings>applications and try to install the new market manually.
I had already cleared data/FC'd and restarted several times.
Installed latest Market, and still no love. It only shows Youtube and Maps. I downloaded something new just for grins.
When I log into my market account, it shows me as registered today but not used yet. I suspect it has something to do with this...
Is it new apps that were recently installed since the upgrade that are not seen or previous apps that were installed with previous ROM? If the apps are installed, possibly you can use Titanium backup to restore market links. Most likely other apps that will do the same.
Market doesn't see ANY apps at all! And I can't use Titanium since I'm no longer rooted.
As a side note, my kid called last night to tell me he had upgraded, and had the exact same problem. After installing the upgrade, he had old market and none of his apps showed up.
That is totally strange if you install a new app and then market fails to recognize it right off the bat. I can't recall anyone else having this issue.
Sorry, I misinterpreted your previous post.
Everything I've ever gotten from the market shows in my market account on my computer, but not in 'my apps' tab in the market on my phone. However, the apps I've now downloaded again now show in 'my apps' but still have the original download dates showing in my market account.
Very odd behavior...
You now have me quite confused too. They don't show up then they do show up? What are you missing then? The apps that you previously downloaded with the froyo ROM?

Exactly. Everything I'd previously downloaded is missing in 'my apps' although the phone and all the apps show up when I log into my market account on my PC.
Doesn't really matter much now. The last time I installed a ROM it took nearly an hour for the market to reinstall all my apps. I've manually reinstalled the 10 or so apps I actually use, and not bother with Paper Toss and Tom the Talking Cat and the other 30 or so space wasters.
Just find it odd that my kid and I, in two different cities and on two different ROMs, had the exact same experience with the market. Go figure.
This i what i had to do
This very same thing happend to me as well. If you go on your home computer or use your browser on your phone and go to the actual Market web siteand sign in you can resend all of your apps to your phone and reinstall them. Then they will show up in market on your phone again. The Market web site is marketandroid.com/apps sign in with your google acct info then click the My Library tab and chose the apps you want to reinstall. Hope this helps. let me know if it works!!!
Also when you first started your phone with the original froyo it asked whether you wanted to back your apps up in the setup. Maybe you did not have this checked. So when you ran the RUU it totally wiped your phone clean as it should. If you did have backup selected, when you installed the new ROM it should have started to install most of the apps. I have noticed it never installs all apps from the market. But it does show for me at least all the paid apps. The apps it did show for you were technically not your apps. They were system apps that were linked to the market automatically.
Also as you did start fresh make sure you have google backup in affect so it keeps track of your apps for the next time you install fresh if you ever do.
I believe the reason the apps show up online with the pc and not your phone because google thinks you uninstalled all those apps.
I just recently got the android market update to 3.3.11 and when i try to update apps or view my apps i get a fc. Just wondering if any one is having similar problems, and if there is a work around?

I'm assuming you've tried to clear data and force close market from settings -> applications?
I got the Market update this morning too and I have not had any problems.
I'm having the same problem... I posted about it twice in the Prime thread to no avail. I have cleared the Market data and also the apps data that I have had problems updating.
It's only select apps (google apps?) that seems to force close the market when trying to update them.
what phone is it? im kinda lost here...im new to this form and would like some help.
.
Yeah, i cleared the data and cache, i even did a full system wipe to try a solve but no dice. Hopefully an update is forth coming that will solve this, kinda a pain not being able to update apps.
Cold boot fixed it for me when I updated to the latest firmware
i assume you did not read the info before installed right?
it's said that 3.3.11 is not working perfectly on Honeycomb tablet's
but now you now

I assume you know that this was pushed silently and we had no choice, right?
Now you know.
I also have some problems with the new Market app. However, it seems to only force close when I select specific paid apps under My Apps. One of those apps received an update, which it luckily installed automatically, and now I can select that app again without a problem. Maybe the Market crashed on certain permission settings that they changed or something. Just an idea.
Btw, it has been tried by gnufabio to put back the previous version of the Market, but that didn't work because of how the apk's are signed or something (correct me if I'm wrong!).
On the stock Inspire ROMs, it looks like you are blocked from clearing the Market data (Settings>Applications>Market>Clear data). Also, it appears that the Market app is locked to never update past version 2.3.4.
Has anyone figured out how this is done and/or why?
I know you can side-load a newer Market APK, which will then auto-update but I'm curious why it is the way it is.
That's interesting. I see no reason why the Market would be locked on an old version, especially since Google is now changing everything to Google Play. Here's the apk if you want to do it manually.
