[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

Hangouts Can't Reach Google

Greetings... I just ODINed back to stock, took the OTAs, ODINed CWM, and then flashed Tweaked Lite 1.0. So far it's awesome. Only issue is with Hangouts. I'm getting:
Couldn't sign in because we couldn't reach Google. Try again.
I've tried restarting, just waiting (multiple days), updating Hangouts, clearing data in Settings->Manage Applications, wiping cache from CWM and nothing seems to be working.
Any suggestions?

I had this issue and did this and it fixed it for me...
Clear updates and data from Google Hangouts and Google Play Services.
Delete Google Play Services using Root Explorer.
Reboot.
Try to open Hangouts and it will prompt you that you need Google Play Services.
Download and everything should then work ok.

Yeah this happens from time to time, still not sure on the reason or rhyme (#drseuss). Doing things similar to what jdawg334 outlined has helped me as well.

I finally got it to work. I couldn't get Root Explorer to delete Google Play Services successfully but with all the deleting of caches, updates, and force stopping services it finally was able to log in. Thanks for the help! Loving tweaked lite.

the tip is gold worth for my SGT7 3G in fixing time calculation .
Found more info here LINK, and here the step by step description:
uninstall updates for Google Play services
tried to open Hangouts which prompted me to update Google Play services
updated Google Play services
ran Hangouts
Works!
So thanks to PalaNIN on reddit.com.

Can't access internet
I was able to get past the Hangouts problem, but I can't seem to access the internet after flashing Tweaked Lite. I can access the Play store, d/l apps and updated installed ones, send and receive e-mails, etc., but if I open the default browser or Dolphin browser, I can't connect to the internet. I was given this Charge from a friend, and want to use it as a wifi device only. It was already updated to FP8 when I received it, so I rooted it, installed CMW, wiped data/factory reset, then just flashed the ROM. I didn't Odin back to any previous build, just went with the OTA already loaded on the phone. The internet seems to be the only thing not working.
*Edit*
Guess I didn't get past the Hangouts problem. I uninstalled the updates to Google Play Services, then reinstalled the update, but still get the message "Couldn't sign in because we couldn't reach Google. Try again."

Yeah the hangouts thing is obnoxious - I went back to stock a few times to see if I made the issue but I couldn't get it to work there either. Not sure why the browser is acting up though - haven't seen that myself... not sure what would be causing that issue unfortunately.

I can't figure it out - not being able to browse the internet. It has worked once or twice, but I have no idea what changes to allow it. I restored a backup back to stock to check if I could browse then, and I could. I then reflashed TLite, but still had the same problem. I just restored the backup back to stock and I'll leave it there for now. I use the phone for wifi and a couple apps, so it should be fine for now. At some point I probably should try Odining back to a previous version, installing the OTAs, then flashing TLite. Would I want to repartition when going back to EP4D?

Wouldn't be a bad idea. Your usage matches my own (no sim card even), and I have yet to encounter any sort of browsing issues at all.

same deal here. it worked once. my theory is that it might have to do with Google Play Services. I'm thinking the Lite version blocks something or left a key file out.

and this: http://forums.androidcentral.com/go...ogle-hangouts-cant-sign-updated-solution.html

another hint
My situation was the same, google play services uninstall,reinstall doesn't help the login issue.
But at least : cleared hangouts data and google play services data, then on my PC I've log in to my gmail account and at the bottom left corner i've enabled "the new kind chat" (means Hangouts instead Talk) and then the hangouts on my phone immediately logged in to my account...
interesting...

Massive app crashes, phone unusable

Hi,
My girlfriend has the moto g and since this morning it's unusable: every second comes a crash message that a app fc. All apps belonging to Google (YouTube, calendar...) are crashing and especially the launcher. It's just possible to go to settings via quick toggles. But I can't delete any data etc from apps. And it won't accept any changes to any settings. I can't open any app because the launcher doesn't work...
The problem: it's an unrooted, totally stock phone with just a few apps (whatsapp, chronus...) . Now I wanted to ask if anyone can help and maybe knows this problem and how to fix it. And: I can't connect it to the PC (win7). Anyone has a link and a description to install the USB drivers? I tried all the "normal" ways with Motorola device manager and manually install USB drivers. I want to backup the messages and pictures before I try a factory reset. I rebooted it in secure mode, but all the problems still exist...
I hope anyone can help... Thanks in advance!

I want the moderator to ban me.

If it always crashes how would you be able to back up SMS and picture? Try to go to the store you bought your phone or call your tech support. But if nothing happens you just need to factory reset your phone.

If it connects to the pc, you can easily make a backup of these things. The Problem is that it doesn't connect because i have problems finding the correct usb driver.

As much as we want to, but I think, there's no way to back it up. You just need to factory reset it.

Already tried a factory reset - doesn't work. Can't even boot into recovery... Now it's sent back to Motorola I would love to know what happened there on a complete stock phone with just a very few apps and just used for messaging, calls and photos. I hope Motorola says what went wrong when the phone is repaired.

Try to uninstal apps and try instal again.Maybe not completed installed before.

My girlfriends phone started doing the exact same thing this morning, what was the outcome? Did they replace the phone?

[Completed] [Q] Update ruined my phone!! Please help?!

I have a Nexus 4. After the most recent update, everything has stopped working: I get texts over 5 days late, Google play won't load or let me log in, many of my apps became useless because they stopped working (ex. Tumblr app); my pictures won't back up to my Google account, and many more problems. I wanted to try a factory reset but the computers won't register my phone (I've tried 2 different computers, 3 different cords). I don't want to lose all of my pictures/videos/contacts. I tried downloading Airdroid but my phone refuses to download it (Google play doesn't work, and it simply says "Installing" when I download from Chrome or with ES File Downloader, but it never actually installs). I'm getting desperate now, can someone please help?? :crying::crying:

Question P7Pro loosing Features after some time?

Sup folks,
so something very annoying is happening on my Pixel 7 Pro.
I first noticed it yesterday when i couldnt get any ,,Press Yes to Sign in,, Prompts on my Pixel 7 anymore.
I then reinstalled the whole phone and everything worked as before.
To explain ,,working as before,,:
- Google One Backup has its grpahical backup with the Loading bar etc
- I can get Sign In Prompts
So this worked up until about 4-2 Hours ago.
I reset cache and Data on Google, Playstore and Google Play Services with Airplane Mode and restarted my Device because i had them on the Zygisk List.
Now its the same as before. I cant get any SignIns and my Google One wont backup and or will just show its bareones UI when pressing backup and even refusing to backup at all.
Oh yeah and going into Settings and Google then pressing on Devices to get the Devicelist just unlimited Loads me.
Im also not able to link my Chromebook at all.
EDIT:
I wanna metion that it now after like waiting some time, did a full backup.
It also showed me the prompt of signin but said it was ,,smth smth expired,, and linked me to my Devices.
The phone shows up all fine in Find my Device too!
But still no Sign In Prompt and chromebook working.... NOR the device tab
Anyone else or just me?

Seems like the Module from @Displax caused this.
Once removed Chromebook worked like a charm.
But it takes some time to break, which is weird.
