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
Dear All,
I am having a prob for the past week or so. This happened after the marketplace in my phone was updated (my marketplace search bar shows Applications and Games Search now. The music search is gone.).
The problem is that whenever any of my apps have an update, I click on Update All and then instead of downloading the new updates, all the Apps show "Attention required. Press Here".
1. I pressed and retried. Didn't work.
2. I long pressed and retried, that didn't work either.
3. I long pressed and deleted the update, and tried updating again and that didn't help.
4. Restarting phone was of no use either.
Can anyone please help me with this? The only way I update now is delete the app altogether and re download the app. This is quite annoying as I lose the settings on some apps and have to enter them again.
I am using a T-Mobile UK unlocked Samsung Omnia 7 with the NoDo update.
Thanks!
Read this thread.
Also
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsphone/en-us/howto/wp7/apps/download-apps-and-games-faq.aspx
And for future reference and search:
Why do I get an "Attention required. Tap here." message when I try to download an app or game?
Your phone might have temporarily lost its Internet connection, or you might be trying to download an app that's too big to download over your phone's cellular data connection. If you're trying to download an app larger than 20 megabytes, you'll need to connect to a Wi-Fi network, or connect the phone to your PC and use the Zune software.
Cheers. I did search before a few times and did not find what I was looking for. Thats why I posted here to hopefully find some answers. Thanks again.

I have read all that before plenty of times and none of the solutions have worked for me. It doesnt work over wifi and the apps I download are all less than 1mb. Moreover, I know that anything greater than 20mb required me to download through Zune connection. My phone software is also up to date.
So back to square 1 for me.....
just wait.. it is a temprary problem..
Ok. Will wait for a fix....

Where it says "Pending" did you try holding your finger there and hit retry? (After you established a wifi connection)
It won't auto download it till you do.
No I haven't. But will definitely give that a try next time.

I am actually having the same issues sometimes in UK Marketplace. However, after a while, they "mysteriously" go away and I can download.
Which makes me think it's either a temporary issue on the server or something like that.
In other cases, it worked when I switched 3G off, but I think that's more of a network provider problem.
Know what im talking about
Hi Guys,
ive had this issue when NoDo first came out, i updated to NoDo with the ROMS on here and was still receiving same message for any application i was reqesting from Marketplace, i rolled back from NoDo and my markeplace worked again. so i tried few things different by installing different roms and updating and so on, and still got the same issue when the final update was NoDo.
one thing i did notice was that my app would install over 3G but not over wifi which was the strange part, and 3G is extremely expensive when you downloading games and large apps so that definitly was not an option for me.
i am still using the latest release just before NoDo, because of this issue and i hope some smarty can figure it out or Microsoft release a fix for this soon.
ive scavaged the internet and found zip info that helps ! others tried methods that worked for them but none work for me.
btw i have HTC Mozart and in South Africa
whenever i download an app via android market web store, or send a link from chrome to phone, my phone will NEVER receive it.
it has worked flawlessly before, but seems to have stopped after i rooted.
any way to fix this?
phone: nexus s
Sending links to your phone requires an app called Google Chrome To Phone. You need to start up the app and agree to the terms before it will receive links, so give that a shot, even if you feel you have done that before.
Both sending links and having apps automatically installed rely on a Google Talk connection. You'll want to also check if Talk is connected as well.

i've used chrome to phone many times before, and have uninstalled/reinstalled on desktop and phone, logged in with another account, and nothing is working! i've also downloaded many apps from android market web store with no issues until recently when i rooted.
and it worked before without me being signed into google talk.
Try to reinstall the market can work in it
You may want to make sure you can log into Talk just to confirm the talk connection is working for things other than push. But if you know that already works...
I think it's time to go back to your Nandroid backup you took before rooting. If you're using a custom ROM, it may also be worth taking a backup and going back to stock to see if that improves the situation.
Then when you try rooting again, just test C2DM every now and then to isolate the step that causes things to stop working properly.

i had same problem try to reinstall market
lol I have no idea I'd my talk connection is working or not. when i launch talk, there is a little 'x' button beside 'Offline' under my gmail account, and when i sign in, the 'x' button is still there, although i have seemed to sign in. i dont have any contacts in google talk so i cant test if its properly working.
will try redownloading market to see if that works as well, thanks!
ill save unrooting to a last resort i guess :/
update:
ive tried redownloading market, but nothing changed. when i downloaded an app from the android market on the desktop, i didnt receive it on my phone, although the button said 'installed' on my computer.
i've also tried removing my account from the phone, and then downloading an app. the market (on desktop) still said 'installed' when there wasn't any phone linked to the email...
honestly i have no idea how to fix this.
Hi all,
Have a strange "issue" with my Z3 Dual.
I noticed yesterday that the Downloader seemed to be running, even though I hadn't asked the phone to download anything. Sliding the notification open seems to suggest that the download isn't actually running, but simply keeps notifying.
Data is not being sent or received, and the items always seemed to be images. I had thought it was my work exchange email (through Mailwise) or maybe even IM chats downloading images. Uninstalled them and reinstalled and that did nothing.
Finally this morning, I received and email (through my Gmail) from my property manager, and it had a pdf, the same pdf was trying to be downloaded by the manager! So it appears, that on my phone at least, Gmail is asking my downloader to download, without the actual download initiating, but simply keeps a persistent notification there! I also have a nexus 9 with the newest Gmail and its not happening there.
Has anyone else had this issue? I'm about to roll back latest update of Gmail to see if it fixes.....
screenshot attached
Rolling back Gmail to original version has not helped.
It has happened to me, and it seems to be when using autodownload on any of the email apps if it begins to download and you suddenly lose the data is connection it gets stuck.
Just go to settings and apps and go to the Download app and clear the cache and data and that will take care of the persistent notification, then try to adjust your autodownload settings.

Agree with everything you've said, but in gmail, i've auto download of attachments on wifi to OFF, and Images to "ASk before showing". Not sure there are any other settings I can access?
I have, for the time being, turned OFF notifications from the download app - this is obviously not idea if I really DID have an actual download of a large size or being stuck I have no way of monitoring it.
Open to any other suggestions / ideas

Same happened to me (also have Z3 dual) but updating Gmail app seemed to fix this issue.
I have the dual sim z3. I originally had my active tmobile SIM in SIM slot 2 when I put it in SIM Slot 1 the problem went away. Rebooted and no more download manager in the background.
Hey guys. So, I got my BPXL about a week ago, and I instantly loved it. The first thing I did was reinstall all apps from my previous phone. All 180 apps. No issues (except for the -504 problems). Two days ago, I was prompted by the Play Store about some updates. I told my phone to update all apps automatically, but there was a list of about ten items that needed to be updated. "okay, whatever." So I initiated the downloads. About two hours later, I realized that in the notification drawer, the download for the very first app in that list was appearing as paused. Return to the Google Play Store, see what's up, and the download bar is just running running running, but never actually showing any download progress. Paused them all, tried to run them one at a time, same problem. Tried to install a new app, same problem. Tried all of Google's troubleshooting steps, same problem. Here's where it gets real fun: Performed factory reset of phone, same problem. Acquired replacement phone from Amazon, SAME PROBLEM.
Apps can be downloaded and installed from the Amazon Appstore, but Amazon's app market couldn't hold a candle to the Google Play Store. I'm totally at the end of my rope. Google doesn't know what to do, Blu doesn't know what to do, and I have no idea what to do. I have no idea what is causing these issues. Anybody had anything similar happen and know what to do?
New here but I've had my Pure XL since December. I've been having the same issue for about a week or so. The only thing I've found that works is to cancel the updates, turn off Wi-Fi and start downloading them again. Of course that uses a lot of data, so it's not really an ideal solution..
and the download bar is just running running running said:
Dear friend i got the same problem. But i was very confused when I when to other WIFI location and suddenly the downloads start working....I change my originally router and seens to fix that..don't know why... but it never happen again...

I actually just got off the phone with Blu CS, and it seems that this issue is common enough that they're rushing out a patch to try and fix it. There's a lot of other broken stuff I hope they patch over too, but in the meantime, being able to download off of Google Play would be a big step forward.
So there it is. Anybody experiencing the issue, wait. That's what they told me, that's all we can do.
Received an OTA update today that appears to have resolved the play store issue.
Blu Pure XL pause download problem *Easy Bypass*
I recently bought a Blu Pure XL, shortly after I rooted it no problem, then I had the store error that everyone else is talking about and people say there was an update released to fix it. Unfortunately when I try to start the OTA says my system is damaged so I downloaded the app: DataEye to see what processes use the internet while downloading and long story short when the download says paused open Dataeye and Toggle data saving mode on then off! Fixes every download that pauses hope this helps!
I try to to update today through wireless update but i only get the message "network connection failed". So i unroot the phone using the the tutorial forum.xda-developers.com/pure-xl/general/twrp-recovery-root-blu-pure-xl-allview-t3269447 by bemolx
it keep saying "network connection failed" on WIFI or 4G, internet is ok and working.
But i notice something weird: I can't set the camera Storage Location to Internal Memory, only to SD card. (Also whatsapp can't receive any media) . I don't know if i did something wrong at the first time when i root the phone or if this is related to the update that i am not able to install. By the way if somebody manage to download this update as a zip and share with the community. ? maybe others are having the same problem?
