Android Market Probs - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am running Fresh 3, and lately I cannot update anything from the market directly, it puts the apk in the downloads folder, and I just go to astro to install it. Anyone else having issues or suggestions?

Problem with the latest Market update that silently got pushed to our phones. Reboot and retry is all I can tell ya.

[Q] Android Market issues?

Is anyone (besides myself) having issues downloading or installing apps from the Market?
I'm using Fresh 3.2 w/ the stock kernel
I have major problems with the market. One work around that I figured out and hopefully it will work for you too is to start your market downloads (they get hung up, right?) and then go into fresh updater and download something. I usually just download the Fresh Updater Fix over and over. The download from fresh updater triggers the market download to start. It works for me EVERY time.
what if your not on a fresh rom?
Start your market downloads then go and download something else from the internet. It should work just the same but I haven't tried it. Can't hurt to give it a shot.
Yeah I have problems hanging. I just cancel one and go back to the canceled one and redownload and starts up

[Q] Updating built in apps (unrooted)

Hey,
I'm running the HTC sense UI, that came with my phone, which I haven't rooted.. And I would like to know if anyone could tell me how can I update programs that came preinstalled..? Because they don't show up in the market, and I would like the new updated google maps, that just came out.. in settings->about->system software update I've tried checking for updates, but still nothing..
Thanks for any help you can provide me
Yeah sometimes the market doesn't detect the apps that are already installed on my phone. I usually just click install even if it doesn't say update. Have you tried just installing the Google Maps application from the market? I believe the updated version came out yesterday.

Sometimes the market doesn't detect all of my apps as well... The fix is to clear the market cache!
clearing market cache didn't do it.. and oh well.. now i can't even find the maps on the market anymore.. so who knows what's going on ..
This happens to me too on every single ROM I've tried (stock, Cyanogen, Virtuous). There's always several apps that the market doesn't detect me as having, but the one that always seems consistent is Maps. I generally just install Maps from the market manually. This puts an extra Maps applicaton in the /data folder even though Maps already exists in the /system folder. Since I have a rooted device, I then manually delete the maps apk from the system folder.
Super simply fix. Just download aTrackdog by a0soft. It will detect every app you have installed and check to see if there are any updates. If there are you can download them either from the market or the developers website (if one exists). It will even track apps that aren't on the market, like Wireless Tether. And you don't need root for it. Should do the trick, hope it helps.

Cannot downlaod certain apps from market?

I hope someone can help.. I have been having issues downloading 2 updates from the market on my evo4g.. COPILOT LIVE and ANGRY BIRDS.. I tried all suggestions already and nothing has worked... IN CAT LOG it shows this error:
DOWNLOADINGASSETVIEWUPDATER.UPDATEVIEW() ASSET COM.ALK.COPILLOT.MRKET.USA IS IN DOWNLOAD STATE BUT DOWNLOAD FAILED
I also see COULDNT FIND PATHNAME FOR COMPLETED DOWNLOAD URI: CONTENT://DOWNLOADS.DOWNLOAD/687 -- Assuming the download failed
how do I resolve this? other updates and programs work just fine... any help would be appreciated...
Try unmounting your SD card before trying to download the apps.
Settings->SD & Phone Storage
If that works and you want the apps on your SD card, you can move them from Settings->Applications

Tried that and it didnt solve the issue.. I am under the belief that this is an ANDROID MARKET THING and NOT something with my phone..
any other ideas??
Nothing than the ordinary clearing cache/data from market and trying again.

OK I'm still under the assumption that this is a MARKET ISSUE and NOT my phone... I have a support request into android market but no response yet...
Ive tried everything and these are the ONLY 2 apps that dont download anymore..
Someone else was having a problem downloading those two same apps. Theres a thread for it, might have an answer there. It was a day or two ago.
Well, here is what I found out.. IF I uninstall the market update so that I am at the stock market that comes with 2.2 I can download the updates for COPILOT and ANGRY BIRDS.. BUT as soon as the market is updated to the latest version, I cant anymore. why would this happen? I have a support ticket into google to find out why. I tested this by uninstalling the market update and then I was able to download copilot update.. then the market was updated again and I tried ANGRY BIRDS.. NO GO.. SAME ISSUE.. UNINSTALLED the market update again and then was able to download angry birds...
anyone???
OK some updates on my issue..
Some APPS install and some do NOT. I dont know why.. I can uninstall an APP that wont update and the do a regular install of THAT app and it works. I just did that with FLASH 10.2. it would not update with "update unsuccessful" . BUT I uninstalled it the 10.1 version and then downloaded the 10.2 version from market and all installed. I then downloaded move2sd enabler which downloaded fine.. If I switch it on install all apps to SD card (external), they start to install and some give the unsuccessful message and SOME reboot the phone. If I switch it to INTERNAL, NOTHING installs and right away I get an UNSUCCESSFUL message.. if I put it on AUTO, some install land some do not. Any ideas??
Thanks.. I would think GOOGLE would have posted a fix somewhere since I see my issue all over the ANDROID MARKET FORUM and various other forums...
By an chance are you on CM7?

no. the latest SPRINT LOVERS SENSE ROM...
why? is there an issue like this on CM7
I was going to say...well you can still do it. You can try reflashing the rom, and the latest gapps for froyo.
OK.. NOW I am getting can not install in /data/app .. I see this in CATLOG
what does this mean? I even tried to SIDE LOAD an APP but putting the APK on my SD card and it wont install
i was having that same problem with a rom i was using, turned out the rom didnt support adobe flash for some reason. maybe it is the rom.
same issue download/install unsuccessful
Most apps download and install fine
But some return the unsuccessful error
At first it seemed to be only updates but now it's new apps as well
I have sinister rom
Market is still as it was, no Google Play
I've tried every fix mentioned here and nothing works
Facebook can't update
Flickr cant install
Market cant update
etc.
Do you know if this is Google's issue or if it's my Evo?
Getting a reply from Google that even remotely relevant seems impossible
Did you try removing .android_secure

i had the same problem before. i simply restarted my phone and it worked!

Market install issue (again)

I hope someone has found a solution as NO ONE from GOOGLE seems to respond when I sent a support request.. I have not been able to download ANYTHING from the NEW market APP. I tried deleting the android_Secure, looking for the temp file people talk about, deleting cache and data etc. I have since FLASHED the OLD MARKET back. NOW, some APPS will install and SOME updates to apps will install. OTHER APPS and OTHER UPDATES will not install with the "install unsuccessful" message and OTHER apps will try to update but the phone will restart.
I see this listed all over on different forums and I am hoping someone has found a solution. It appears it is a wide spread issue. last night I was able to download a program from the market called FULLHDMI but today I tried to download SPRINT TOTAL PROTECTION APP and it downloads but doesnt install. Then I tried to update FULLHDMI and that worked but another app update didnt and finally a third app update rebooted the phone.
What is going on and how to resolve?? There has to be some kind of fix.
Thanks ....
Dang... you are still having issues? I wish I could help you more man. I have told you all I know to do That sucks!

Anyone else getting package not signed properly from market after new update?

This is for the LDE update. Ive got 6 apps that when trying to update from the market, it doesnt update and says package not signed properly.
The apps Im having problems with are:
Adobe flash player 11
Gmail
Google search
Google Shopper
Street View for Google maps
Youtube
I have tried disabling Lookout as well so it appears the error is coming from android. Im using Whitehawkx's [ROM][STOCK] Deodexed T989UVLDE [5.23.2011] off rootzwiki. I dont know if it matters but the market included in the ROM hasnt updated to PlayStore yet. I do not have it frozen.
Any ideas?
Exact same thing happened to me. I read somewhere to delete the apk from /system/apps with Root Explorer or the like and reinstall via the market. When I tried that with gmail, I just hit an error from the market about the update being incorrect. I ended up just going back to Tuesday.
