[Q] Anyone having problem with installing apps from the market?

I have had the transformer for about 2 weeks with no problems installing any apps.
However I was unsuccessful yesterday and googled about clearing cache, but it didn't work so I had to factory reset.
Today, I'm getting the installation unsuccessful messages again. Is this happening to anyone else? I'm starting to get annoyed I have to factory reset to fix this problem.

This happened to me also, I did several factory resets, clearing cache, etc... nothing. Also, keep an eye on the GTalk app, if you can't enter the market, then it's possible that GTalk can't logon. However, the browser and other stuff should work.
What I did is created a temporary second Gmail account, then on the TF, go to settings and remove your account, then add the new temporary account. Again, clear the Market cache again and Google Framework cache.
Try to go market and login on GTalk, if you still can't, no problem, the same thing happened to me.
After that, I did another factory reset, during the initial setup, I used my original GMail account again. Everything started to work as it should, Market and GTalk.
The problem lies within the Google account, like something got stuck or another thing that I don't know. It was frustrating at first...

Occasionally google does maintenance and this seems to affect certain accounts more than others. If you suddenly just get this error then you're better off being patient and try again at a later time/date. Sometimes it's only a few minutes, other times it's hours. It's also worth trying to bypass the app entirely and try using a desktop browser to install.

i've tried using my desktop to install apps, but it fails as well.
i'll try giving it tomorrow to see if it clears up, if not i'll just have to factory wipe again.

apps wont install from the market?

Just set up my Transformer and have gone into the market, when i click on install for any app, and ok the permissions, it does nothing, just sits on the info screen for the app i was looking at. My data connection is fine.
any ideas?
I have tried clearing the cache and data from the market app in manage apps.

Not sure what was going on, It has now started downloading ok.
delete the tread if you like.
sorry.

Actually, got my new Transformer today...it proceeds to download but then errors out...rebooted...same thing...can't download or update any apps.

same here
Had mine just over a day, can't install anything from market. Google says to log onto Google talk, but THAT does not work either ... just times out.
But can surf the web just fine, and navigate around Market just fine.
So now what?
thanks, Ian

Have you tried clearing data and cache for the market?

Yes, cleared the data, there was nothing in the cache. Seems to be a common problem, and various different solutions work for some people but not others (on assorted devices). I have mailed Google but so far no response .... have no problems downloading stuff to my Galaxy S2 over same WiFi network ...

bump
Got the same issue since I got a failed firmware update. A fix would be great

this happened to me too, downloading from android market is a hit-and-miss thing... sometimes it downloads on the first try, sometimes i have to retry it a couple of times before it finally download, and somerimes it wont ever download at all (sometimes it leaves the downloading notification stuck)

I have also seen this behaviour - apps would download, then nothing. Clicking on 'INSTALL' again on the Market store entry would usually then do a successful download and install.

Solution?
Can you guys try this, which seems to work for me (as in: after installing Custom ROMs, is what worked ...)
1. set you phone into WiFi Tethering Mode.
2. connect Transformer to use WiFi via the phone
3. log onto market and initiate download.
4. should work fine. Then disconnect from phone, use normal WiFi connection, and it should work.
I've had long discussions with Google about this. They told me to open a bunch of ports on my router, which seemed to help, but is not THE permanent solution. I think Google, for some reason, needs a fix on your position before they validate you initially, which is what they get when you connect via a cellphone.
The ports in question are:
outgoing TCP and UDP connections to 443 + 5222-5443 port range.
Note: there is often a delay when ordering something from Market via website, and getting it sent to device. This is normal. Downloading via Market App should be faster.
Good luck.
Cheers, Ian

I have the same problem...I've tried every possible "fix" and nothing really works...I'm running stock not even rooted, I've had this problem ever since I got the 3.1 ota. Hoping for a fix in 3.2

I've noticed this too. I select an app to download, then I can see the progress bar of the download and then it changes to "Waiting to install" and just stays there. What I usually do is click the "back" button (or touch it or whatever), then click the app again and push the "install" button again. Then it installs fine.
It's not a deal breaker, but it is kind of annoying.

You can try downloading the newer market. I couldn't download apps with the old market, so I downloaded the new market .apk and can download apps from there.

Did you find the apk in these forums?

Did a system wipe of my device (with backup of course), everything is working again as it was ( after recreating the account ), clearing the cache/data has not helped.

I have the exact same issue on my tf as ferparedes.

you can do as many clear cache,clear data,wipe dalvik cache,wipe cache,force stop etc you want...you wont do a thing.
the solution is one and follow my steps cause this thing almost drove me crazy for a week and yes,i could not install anything.
1.erase everything from the internal memory of your transformer connected to your computer. i mean,from the pc move them all to recycle bin.
2. go to recovery menu,and do a wipe data and wipe cache.then do a wipe dalvik cache and then fresh install from install from sd card the revolver rom.
3.HERE IS THE TRICKY PART.
after the first boot,you must do a factory reset of the tablet from the option inside the honeycomb,from the settings.
(NOT from the recovery menu)
i dont remember where this is,i think in development,you will find out.
after the factory reset you will see and android yellow box and the tab will do a reset and erase everything.
Voila! The market will work like a dream and you will never have again problem.
Trust me...i searched a lot for this problem...its the only solution.
they say its a bug in the android secure folder or something and only with a reformat of the file structure it can be solved.

I noticed that disconnecting and reconnecting Google talk solves that installation problem from the market.

gmail wont send

I hit the button and nothing.... just stays in the email. tried clearing the cache and data. uninstalled gmail and reinstalled.... and loaded a new rom version (senseless extreme... but this is something that suddenly started..... was working fine for a few weeks)
Any ideas?? sending from the computer works fine, as well as saving the draft on the phone, and receiving, and all that fun stuff.

have you tried removing the account and re-adding it?
I remember somewhere else someone suggested what you have already cleared and account data.
It worked once for me with Desire HD but I suspect its all the when it comes to software

i would assume that loading the new rom and in turn signing into my account again would be about the same thing... going to try a clean load today and see if i can narrow it down

Has anyone figured this out yet? I have been having the same problem for months. The only way I have found to fix it is to reload the ROM (or load a new one).
I have cleared data, cache etc. I have disable and re-enabled syncing. I have uninstalled and re-installed the Gmail app from the market and nothing. I rely on Gmail for work so I really need this app to work. I hate having to flash my phone each time this crops up...

Have you cleared defaults? That's what got mine going again after titanium backup didn't restore everything correctly.

Just curious...? After you flash these ROMs, are you using Titanium Backup to restore any system or account data? This I know can cause multiple issues and GMail is very dependent on Accounts.
The "I can't send anything in GMail, but I can still receive messages." issue happened to me twice with my Sensation and I was able to resolve it both times by just clearing data from the application in: Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > GMail. I know you mentioned doing this and it not helping, but I just wanted to be clear on my experience with such a problem.

I tried many times clearing cache & data, also tried to uninstall updates then update youtube app again, problem is same.
But i can't use or see my channel & also my playlist/watch list which is a great concern for me because i want to save my favorite videos in my youtube account so i can see them in future. why is this happening? any solution?
also when i used youtube app about 6 months ago, there is no problem of sign in & i can easily save my videos at that time but now its not working. I tried many times to reset my phone by factory reset option & also by flashing stock ftf backup with flash tool, but same problem every time.

Certificate errors while browsing https internet sites

I have my Mate 9 for four weeks now and in the beginning everything was perfect.
Some day I decided to unlock the bootloader via Huawei online service. That went smooth except for the subsequent factory reset. It startet and gave an error that it was not successful. After the phone booted I went through the start wizard, into the settings and did a manual factory reset that finished successfully...
I used to use the Lightning browser to open web pages but one fine day, there may be a coincidence to the bootloader unlock but I do not remember exactly, I started to get certificate errors, even when opening xda-developers. The browser showed a message about a security problem and an invalid certificate. At some well known shopping sites too.
Interestingly enough some other sites work flawlessly like my home banking site as an example.
I have checked if the default system certificates are present (they are), made a factory reset again, also tested some different browsers:
Browsers with certificate errors
Lightning
JumpGo
Privacy Browser
working Browsers
Icecat
Firefox
Any ideas?

Does it happen on 4g and wifi?
Did you change dns for funkyhuawei use?

Yes, happens on both 4G and wifi.
I haven't used funkyhuawei yet, only glanced over the instructions.
At first I wanted to root the phone when I unlocked its bootloader but the benefit of Android 7 being rootet seems technically limited at the moment so I decided to temporarily live without. However I left the bootloader unlocked. This was with firmware 126.
The recent OTA updated my Mate 9 to MHA-L29C432B138. Somehow it managed to relock the bootloader. When I checked it today, it was locked. I did'nt touch it.
But it brought no change concerning the certificate error.

Did you check that all system credentials are enabled?try clearing user credentials certificate.
maybe wipe cache in stock recovery and do factory reset from there.
Not sure if unlocking bootloader will wipe drm keys that had any relation with this.

All system credentials are enabled. User credentials are empty.
No I have wiped cache in emui recovery and factory reset.
Only finished the setup wizard and enabled wifi.
Now I tested with Chrome browser too. I shows no error, just like Firefox and Icecat.
Lightning Browser and the others shows certificate invalid when I open xda.
Could there be a change in certificate / credential handling in Android N so that some browsers need modification to work?
Can somebody please test Lightning with "https://www.xda-developers.com" on her / his Mate 9?
Thank you so much!

If you open developer settings,there is something about chrome enabled maybe you can change it to other browsers.
I didn't tried any browser beside chrome and no problem over here.

Do you mean webview implementation - is it called like that in English? It has only one fixed option called "Chrome Stable".
I also have a system app "Android System Webview" that is deactivated.
I think there could have been a change in the webview implementation in Android N.

After more research and reading playstore feedback I have come to the conclusion, that there must have been a change in Android N in either the webview implementation and / or the way ssl certificates are dealt with.
I am using Chrome as my default browser right now. Firefox and Icecat are too clumsy.
I hope, there will be a solution to this in the near future.

Same issue locked boatloader... Good to know it's not just me... Issues with dolphin browser! Doesn't seem to occur with chrome browse at all. While using Dolphin I just checked off "show security settings"

Same issue here but on Honor 8, started after unlocking bootloader on Nougat.
