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
While it is easy enough to remove apps from the phone, these items remain in your purchase history in Zune. When you restore your phone through a hard reset immediately all these apps are reinstalled back to the phone all 78 of them. Some are trial versions of full products some are just games or apps that you thought would be good but were rubbish. I would have thought that you should be able to remove those items that you will never restore to your phone.
Has anybody found a solution to this? Short of creating a new account.
Well, it seems that this is not an issue. SO I'll live with the large list of inactive apps.
I've too been searching for a solution to this for a while now, have not found it yet. It's a matter of time before the wife finds all those adult apps I downloaded-and-erased
I was just about to post this. If someone tries ton of apps, this is a pain in the a$$.
When I got my device, I must of tried about 20 apps, about 3 of them I paid for (because they work for me) and a handful of games here and there( I still do this alot).
I did a hard reset for mango about 2 weeks ago. It installed about 32 apps, only 12 of them I owned (or wanted to keep). So this tied up my phone for almost 2 hours waiting for these to download (if I attempt to cancel it, it will just download it later), then manually uninstalling them
There has to be a way to delete an app so you never have to see it again.

Did you hard reset through Zune? I hard reset after Mango, and it never reinstalled my apps again - though I did the hard reset using the Volume-Camera-Power method. I used the new myphone or whatever section in live.com to reinstall all of the apps i wanted back on it. I left it plugged into the wall adapter for power, and sat at the computer and told it which ones i wanted. never had to touch the phone.
add it here:

and get ms to add it as an account feature. if enough people vote on it then it'll be there.
After many long attempts to fix this I have come up empty handed. I believe the Hardware is either corrupted or damaged but need an expert to help confirm. (it doesnt even seem worth it at this point to fix, but i want to try anyways, its my kids tablet) I will add as much detail as possible.
First the tablet would get stuck in booting (A9 screen) found that this is due to a corrupted firmware. I flashed a firmware onto the device and it was able to boot up, however still with a few issues. google play store when updated would instantly crash "google play store has stopped" the second you clicked to use it. the only fix i found for this was to uninstalled the google play store update back to factory and it would worked, with the problem of some apps had to be downloaded over and over until it decided to complete, often finishing with a package file invalid. but i managed to get a few games and whatever and gave it back to my daughter.
after about a week everything crashed at once on boot up. process.google.gapps would crash over and over and over as soon as you click ok, many other apps crashing as well and just repeating google account manager, Key chain, RS OTA, and others i cant remember at this time (the problem is currently not occurring or i would go get this information.) mostly the gapps process was crashed over and over making the tablet unusable due to constantly trying to click these errors.
Odd behaviour, during that i managed to click and quickly select settings, and went in and deleted a bunch of apps or uninstalled updates on ones that were crashing, i could uninstalled enough to stop all the errors.. then i rebooted the tablet.. and all the errors were back, and everything i uninstalled was back too, how the f**k?! lol.
i attempted such things as going into recovery and deleting all the cache and media, nothing. so i flashed it again.
the above error return after some time. and i flashed it again (my daughter wanted it working this seems to be my only quick and temporary fix, i have disabled many apps and stopped it from automatically updating, however i still found some settings after being changed, to be undone back to the way it was before i changed it after rebooting the tablet. again it always crashes when google play store updates. this time i rebooted the tablet and went to update the store, and now the app can NOT be found in the store. there does not even seen like a way to update the tablet like "here is your only buggy version, have fun"
CORRECTION: Google Play Store could not be updated because after restarting the tablet the updates were back, as if i had never uninstalled them. i didnt bother checking the first time because this is very unusual.
I am willing to root, change, hack, smash, throw out the window, put it in the hydraulic press at work...i dont care lol
i believe the hard drive has damage.
(i didnt run thru all the attempts i have made to fix things, cause i could write a novel. Thank you for reading.

Hello,
Since about a couple of weeks ago, the Play Store started getting really slow. Updates get stuck at "download pending", and sometimes they do download. Other app downloads get stuck at 100% downloaded for a long time before installing. I can leave my phone on updating all night and in the morning it is still not done. This happens both on LTE and on Wi-Fi, and I do have very fast Wi-Fi. I am on the OxygenOS Open Beta 10. I did not do any changes to my phone when this started happening.
I have tried all of the following to fix the problem, but it doesn't help:
Rebooting the phone
Uninstalling Play Store updates
Deleting and adding Google Account
Clearing cache
I tried wiping the phone and using OxygenOS 9.0.2 - same problem.
I have clean-wiped the phone, deleting even internal storage, and flashed OxygenOS clean stock, and still it does this. (it also has new problems, like Magisk doesn't offer root authorization anymore even though it installed and working according to Magisk Manager...)
The only way I could get the Play Store to work properly was to use a custom ROM, HAVOC 2, but that ROM has problems with the front camera in some apps.
It almost seems like the Play Store detects OOS and decides to act funky. Has anyone faced this problem, or resolved it? Should I contact Google and see if the problem is their Play Store?
I almost feel like, since I have tried with clean wiping and using stock ROMs, and things that weren't broken before just started breaking for no reason, that there is a problem with the hardware itself. It makes no sense that the problems carry over into stock ROM when I have wiped everything several times.
Uninstall or disable the google app.
That fixed it for me.
Let me know if that works.
Hi,
From yesterday when I goto manage apps and device in the app store, go into the app update bit and start any updates Google play crashes.
It still does the updates though.
I've tried updating Google play (it's the latest version). I've cleared cache and data, rebooted and it still continues to do this.
I've never seen this before in years of Android use. Any idea?
Have this going on as well. Wiped storages and seemed OK for a couple minutes, then started doing it again. Looks like this is potentially becoming an issue.
Seems to be fixed now with me not doing anything. I guess some server issue......
