MARKET HELP: Cant Download

Not entirely sure when this started but I noticed last night that when I try to download anything from the Market, it goes to "Starting Download" and thats as far as it goes, period. One has been on that screen for the last 7 hours while I slept. Any ideas?
Currently on: Haykuro 5.0G

It's a known issue. Either switch to 5.02H or JF's builds or wait until tomorrow to see if the Friday update fixes things.

this has already been posted in the original thread.
no solution yet.

Did the search button stop working as well? There are 4 pages of the same reports in the main Saphire thread and it has been reported on Haykuros site as well. Mods... please close this thread

Did you try :
-> Clearing the market's cache?
Menu - settings - Applications - Manage applications - Market - Clear cache
-> Removal of the battery

as soon as the official release of the android 1.5 .. there's probably no way around it .. no one is supposed to be using it .. my guess .. they are making modifications to the market or something .. people being able to access it prematurely could muck up the works

You have got to be kidding me!!! my market was working the other day then all of a sudden it wouldnt download.
I really like this rom, but without the ability to load all my applications its useless.

haykuro’s blog: updates, and google hates
Posted on April 16th, 2009 haykuro
well i havent updated in a while, so just putting the word out for those who havent checked..
5.0.2r2 is out.. its just a temp “fix” for market problems.. “market problems?!” Yup..
Google has started blocking market connections from firmware 1.5. Im hoping to have this resolved by tomorrow (update fridays).
Well see what happens.

I use Haykuro 4.5 and prefer it over the 5.x builds. Noticed this morning I was unable to download from market. I did flash the 5.0.2Hr2 and had Market working fine. Hopefully (as I'm back to a nekkid 4.5 now) he'll have an update to 4.5 fixing the Market issue.
In the meantime, here's the apk for Astro and AppManager to at least get the free apps back on.

C'mon...no need for another thread about this...

Im running 5.0.2H, I still have full access.

This is how XDA has been since my wizard flashing days. I wonder what mythical XDA forum you guys are all remembering.
I miss the XDA where people who knew anything would help (even if just through sig links) and the d-bags who just complain about NOOBS come and go. Oh wait, that's still how it is.

I think we just need a irc room where we can idle, *****, and bicker at each other.

Hi,
I am on my 2nd day of 5.02h and no download problems.
I really like this firmware.
I would recommend it.
There are still many members here that are willing to help all.
This is a great forum.

Forget search button, the goddamn relevant thread has been constantly bumped up right under the stickies for the past 48 hours. Geeze Louise.

Snapdragon GameCommand out now!

as title states, it's out on the market now.
first "exclusive" game to showcase the processor is a game called Desert Winds.
minimal hack and slash type... pretty much there to show off the graphics. game itself is kinda boring. too basic, too easy.
graphics do look good and game runs well.
the gaming news feed I thought was kinda cool feature.
in any rate, good way to organize your games within a single Icon as well.
It's a good start. hope to see some more, better, exclusive games.
direct link to the market: http://goo.gl/bffwQ

Can't wait for some of the games in the preview video. They definitely need some exclusives to keep up with Tegra Zone. Here's the video for anyone who is curious:

have you pressed settings on the top right corner of "my games"?
it will show you a list of apps you have on your phone on the right, then you can place the games within the list to the list on the left.
once you set it up it will auto detect and place the games you purchase from then on in your game list.

Well restarted etc but still have no games in "my games"
Heres a quick vid

wow... not sure why it's not showing up... that's really weird.
when I initially opened the app it had a list of all the apps in my phone, waiting for me to sort it to the left(of the list - to "my games").
once I downloaded Desert Winds, it showed up automatically in this list. didn't have to sort it or anything.
region shouldn't matter I don't think since it's just a launching app for games on your phone and listing Adreno optimized games on the market.
humm...

Cheers for this, zip file downloaded and working as it should. (Sensation xe completely stock). Although I couldn't see anywhere to launch DesertWinds from but it did show me DeerHunter was free so have downloaded that.

Hmmmm strange well ill. Remove it and install it again and see what happens
Edit well after reinstall n reboot no difference intresting lol

no prob.
well, I don't do this sort of thing but, since the game is free on the market, I don't think it would be considered a warez if I posted the apk?
(it's just a showcase of Adreno anyway right? not much of a game... pretty much just a demo?)
mods, please delete and accept my apology if it violates forum rules.
anyway, here's the apk...

This spirit is why I love this place. Thanks again, very much appreciated...

Yh I'm thinking its region locked hence not in the UK market so will have to wait it out but thanks for helping buddy

Android Market Update... Same Version?

Has anyone else noticed that sometimes when you update a app from the Market, its the Same exact version? Happened to me about 6 times this week... What's up with that?
*EDIT*
Also how come certain apps Don't show as having a update until I physically click it myself, when most of the others show that there's a update available?
Thanxx in Advance!

I had this problem many times, even today.
Today (Feb 10) an app called Spool was shown as update available, but the chnagelog was same as one for last update which I did, and market website shows it as last updated on Feb 6th.

Is there Anyway to Fix this? The ****s getting Annoying man... Sometimes I catch it but sometimes I Don't until I go to make a backup and it says already backed up!

Could it be something like some permissions were changed, thus showing as an update?
It happened to me with Waze this week- exactly same version build but somewhere in changelog it was written that the update is because some permission was revoked.

Anyone notice PSOne games are now missing from Google Play store

Seems that the Sony PSOne games are missing, just did a search and came up blank. Anyone else?

I just looked, and I can still see them?

If I had to guess, I'd say your running a custom ROM that doesn't have the right build info - seems to be a recurring theme with custom ROMs. Search on here there should be a fix (if that is indeed the case) - something about modifying the build.prop file I think?

I have the stock rom. I am going to the Play website, not even on my phone and if I type in any of the game name or "Sony computer entertainment america" I get nothing.
I can't even download the games anyway thanks to Verizon blocking them. I tried market enabler but with no luck.

Unfortunately I did and they blamed Sony. They are useless, don't care about the customer, their 2.3.4 update broke the phone and now it doesn't sync or work properly with google services.

as am I, my only problem is my contract is up in March, and I was thinking go for an unlocked R800i or a, but the reality is this phone is getting a bit long in the tooth compared to the non gaming features and speed of all the other phones out there, I'm not sure I want to spend $200-$300 on something I have already and is already 2 years old tech wise. AND also missing out on 4G LTE as well. But then again I'll HATE not having the physical controls. Sony really needs to come out with a new one.

It looks like Sony is now keeping these PS one Classics exclusive to the PS Vita. Sony confirmed that over 100 PS One classics will be available to download on the handheld from August 28th including Final Fantasy VII, Metal Gear Solid, and Resident Evil 2.

Seriously you gotta be ****ing kidding me.
Wipeout is the ONLY game I have wanted to play on this ****ing phone since I got it. I have tried unsuccessfully to get Market Enabler to let me download it (thanks to them being ****ing blocked on Verizon), I have been waiting for this PS Mobile **** to be able to get it, and now they decide no more PS ports on Android. ****ing dicks.
I'm going to try and pirate the damn game now, **** them. Sony you're a bunch of assholes.

And then I lol'd hard. :laugh:

I was able to still pull up the games for purchase on my phone.
I'm using the PlayStation pocket app and MarketEnabler.
Open MarketEnabler, go to Settings list, long press [ca] Rogers and set it. Then open the PlayStation pocket app, hit the search button on the top right, it will show about 8 games. Click on any of the 8 and it links you to the Google Play Store.
Make sure you use PlayStation pocket, not PS pocket. PS Pocket tries to open the PS Store.
I'll post screen shots if you guys want later.

Good find.
Does this work on GB? I can't possibly know since it's not available in my country but I can make a workaround if it's GB-compatible.
EDIT: Oh, nevermind, saw it on the Play page. Says 2.0.1 and up? That's rather odd I think.

Only thing about 4.3 that I can see is * WiFi Connection recommended for OS 4.3 on the description. That's nowhere near saying it's only for 4.3+.
Checked it just now and still shows 2.0.1. OR DID I MISS SOMETHING? Maybe I'm being stupid again... but...

Well guys, just to let you know, I tried it and it goes in game, you can fiddle around menu and settings, but it force closes while loading first mission, even restarted my play two times. Tried it on gin2jellybean, stock cpu, and overclocked. Maybe it will get better as they update it, but for now, it's just a 2GB waste of space unfortunately...
