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
Has anyone else been having problems with Google Chrome to Phone? Every time I try to set it up, it says "Unable to Connect". I guess it could just be my account...any help is greatly appreciated!

works great
works just fine on my G2X. I am rooted but am running stock rom. Chrome to phone works great
It seems that on 6/3, something happened to our google accounts the mess this up. If you have a second gmail account, try to add that and sync it with chrome to phone and it'll most likely work. Doesn't really help though.. I haven't found a solution for this yet. Looks bleak.
btw, not a g2x problem as I have an evo.
Mine is hit and miss about stuff making it to the phone, chrome will always say "Sent to phone" but sometimes it doesn't show up.

Since this is the first Google result to pop up on a search for "chrome to phone unable to connect", might as well point out here that changing your Gmail account password seems to do the trick - at least it did for me.
Got the same issue with EB ICS BUild 1. But the other browser aren't working that great as well in regards to video. Choppy...

Worked for me too. Unfortunately it would be easier if Chrome to Phone gave you an option to do this from the device instead of having to change your password then reconnecting.
You can use Push2Droid for sending links from Chrome to Android devices.
So I've been playing around with my nexus 5 and overall I'm pleased so far, however whenever I try to add reminders via Google Now, I keep getting the message "can't reach Google at the moment" (see screenshot)
This happens on WiFi and mobile data and have rebooted the phone to check if that may solve it (never know...).
I can add reminders via Google Keep however being able to add reminders directly from the home screen simply by talking is so much easier than adding them via Keep.
I've tried looking through the Google product forums however the content never seems to load on the page.
Anyone know if the reminders issue is a common bug or if there's a fix available for this?

You need to open the keep app first, so it signs in to your account.

Ive been having trouble too including a friend of mine. Think its a wider problem
I have the keep app up and running (as mentioned in OP) but its still not working unfortunately

I'm guessing people having problems with this are using a Google Apps account?
I have exactly the same issue with my gapps account but when using a standard gmail account all works as it should.
As mentioned, I think this is a wider issue, affecting SOME gapps accounts when used in conjunction with the N5. I say some as I have had a friend set up a test account for me in his gapps and it also worked perfectly.
I have spent hours going through my settings but have so far drawn a blank.
If anyone knows what is causing this, please share!
This happens to me, but it ONLY happens on wifi. As soon as I switch to mobile it works again.
I have the same problem

If only it was the case, sadly it's the same over 3g for me.
You using gapps or standard gmail?
Only solution for me is to use my non gapps account for Google Now.

I had this issue when I first got this phone about 2 days ago. I just tried to set a reminder on wifi and it worked for me. The only thing that has really changed are just apps and a few reboots, maybe the reboots did it? I honestly tried it out of the box and my service kept disconnecting, after that reboot all my issues were fixed. Doubt thatll fix the issue for you but who knows lol. I am also rooted, if that makesa difference
No amount of rebooting or even resetting to stock has cured this for me. I think it's server side - something to do with how the N5 talks to gapps servers. Only some though as I've tested it successfully with a friend's account. Odd.

I'm using a gapps account. Guessing by the responses it's something to do with this then. Ah well, will sit back and wait for ol' googs to trickle it down to gapps users then.
Not necessarily, it works with some gapps accounts and not others. Doesn't work with mine but had a friend set up an account for me on his and it worked perfectly. Its a very odd problem.

I'm on a Google Apps account too. Tried adding a second account from the same domain and that wouldn't work, but added a straight gmail account and it was fine. Very frustrating! I can't see anything obvious in the apps dashboard that migth be causing it.
tried Adding and Removing all my Google accounts but no luck through that method either.
Hi !
Undigging a very old thread, but I have the very same problem : I can't add a Google Now reminder with my GApps account, "can't reach Google at the moment".
I created a dummy Google account and it worked without any problem, instantly.
This thread is one year old, and I have been using Google Now reminders for a very long time without any problem. This bug just appeared some days ago. So what has happened to my GApps account ?
Has anyone here been able to fix this issue?
Thanks !
I'm having the same issue as well. Lollipop Nexus 4.
I find it very weird that this issue seems to have been going on for so long, without one definitive fix appearing. It started for me yesterday; I don't know if it's coincidence, but I fired up an old phone linked to the same gmail account in order to wipe it prior to selling on ebay. Then soon after doing that, I tried to set a voice reminder on my Nexus 5, and I got this error. I have never had a single problem before, but now I get the problem irrespective of whether I'm connected via wifi or 3g, at home or at work. Normal gmail account.
Tried turning Google Now cards off and back on again, tried clearing some related caches, tried signing out and back in to the google account.
Anybody got any suggestions.

Yep, I have one.
My problem was solved by setting my search domain to google.com.
I am in Belgium, and the default search domain for the Google App is the local one (google.be). Changing this setting in the google app worked like a charm. Of course, I don't have localized search results anymore though.
This setting is located in the Google app, under Settings > Accounts & Privacy > Search on google.com

Damn, you had my hopes up, but it didn't work for me; I changed the setting from local domain (google uk in my case) to google.com, no joy. Thanks for the reply though.
Maybe it's a clue, others have also suggested changing the search language to English (US) worked for them, it does point to certain areas of functionality as the cause.

Yes, in my case the problem is a combination of using a Google Apps account (with my own domain), and using a google.be domain for searches.
It seems that there are a lot of different problems that end up with the same error message. For some people, as you mentionned, just turning off Google Now then on again simply fixed it.
I'll be in France in some days, I'll try to witch back to using the local search domain (i.e. google.fr), and see how it goes. My Google Apps domain is a ".fr" domain, so there might be something to investigate here.

Working fine for me, I just checked it only thing it said was it wasn't working due to an unreliable internet connection (3G) I tapped it and it switched to ready to pay.
Stock Rooted.
Fine here.
Wallet was acting weird for me last time I tried to use it, walked in to the store, turned on NFC, checked wallet, everything looked good to go, got to checkout and wallet all of a sudden said it wasnt the default tap to pay and would not let me use it at all. ISIS has long since been uninstalled, no other tap to pay or even NFC apps installed, had data connection etc. but no dice. Had to run home for my wallet that I originally forgot, pretty frustrating and havent tried it since.

I flashed Viper 3.1.0 when it was released and I noticed the same thing; yesterday I also had problems with Hangouts not signing in.
I remembered in the past that if had issues using any Google app, there was something getting blocked as far as DNS resolution.
I have AdAway installed and figured there might be something wrong with the HOSTS file like in the past.
So I disabled & renabled the creation of a HOSTS file and automagically Google Wallet & Hangouts signed in without a problem.
Do you guys have a custom HOSTS file?
If you do, try recreating it and see what happens.
Hi all,
First time post, been enjoying all the advice on how to root and all that jazz.
As the title says it; I'm having problems downloading any theme from the app store. Any theme I choose and hit "Download" on it just brings up a window for 1/2 a second that I believe says "Downloading" but never actually does anything. Another weird thing, the other 2 themes that are kind of defaulted for options that you can download both work. I'm not sure if this is a silly question, however I can't seem to figure it out as no one else seems to have this issue.
Random pieces of information:
1. Yes, my phone is rooted, however this issue was still around before I did so.
2. I have the AT&T variant Galaxy S6.
3. I've checked to see if there's any apparent apps I disabled that may cause it but the only app that seems like it may be related is "Theme Store", and that of course isn't disabled.
Thank you!
Did you disable the Samsung Account? It doesn't work without the Samsung Account apk.

Well, I think I figured out how to do it.
I made another account and registered my device on that Samsung account while un-activating it on my old one. However, I can't add the account on my phone, whenever I go to accounts on the settings page and choose Samsung account it does nothing, absolutely nothing. It just goes back a menu where it shows my account without allowing to input any information.

Did you ever figure out how to fix this? I wanted to download a camera mode, but realize nothing would happen when I tried to install. I went back and enabled all of my disabled apps in Titanium Backup. But unfortunately I still cannot add a Samsung account. Same thing happens when I choose Samsung from the account types, nothing happens.
I've got a girl that I work with that is having the exact same issue. She has the 128gb Verizon model and essentially nothing happens when you try to install a theme. Same thing happens with the Samsung account as well, as soon as you go into add the account and press Samsung account, it just bumps you right back out to the accounts screen. I've tried clearing data for Samsung Account, Galaxy Apps, Theme Manager, etc. Not quite sure what the issue is.
You're not alone
I'm having the same issue after attempting to install new camera modes via galaxy apps store.
support advised me to disable Samsung account and clear the cache... now i can't add it back despite it being enabled.. its just an endless loop .. add account - chooses Samsung account - flips back t previous screen

Sorry for not posting any updates.
Well, this isn't probably what you want to hear, but I fixed it by doing a Factory Data Rest. I don't know if everyone else's issues are exactly what I was experiencing, but I noticed when I did this reset and had to link a Samsung Account upon first power up for the phone. I'll be honest, I don't remember doing this the first time I got the phone (This is my first Samsung Account so I wasn't aware you had to do this). Then, of course, I checked this issue and it was fixed. I know this isn't really figuring out how to fix the issue, but it worked for me.
Good luck guys!

I wasted hours on multiple days speaking to every venue availing for support and none were even aware it was possible and all claimed a factory reset. On the flip side verizon offered offered a refurbished replacement, but unless this continues I'd opt for the reset which fixed my account and now it runs like a dream... a super fast octabrain dream
I was facing the same problem.
Reading through this thread I've figured out what was wrong.
I have an old Samsung Account and this account was blocked on Samsung due to inactivity and new T&Cs to agree.
I've accessed the Samsung site (https://account.samsung.com) and reactivated my account.
After that, I became able to download the themes from Themes Store.
