[Q] Market Problem - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am having a problem with the Android Market. When I download an app from the market it will download just fine but then once it is downloaded, the app is not installed.
I am rooted, running SkyRaider 3.0 (Vanilla) please help.
Thanks.

cleat cache, restart app¿

It's a common issue with Froyo on the Incredible. If clearing the cache doesn't work for you (didn't for me), you'll just have to cancel the download and restart it for the problematic app. It can be annoying, but at times it will take ten or so attempts for a successful download and install. Also, be advised that it's dumping a series of download.apk files into your downloads folder.

Man this market thing is annoying, I cleared cache and nothing... after the download, it just stays at 100%, the file does download and can be installed with astro...just select the .apk

Installation was unsuccessful

So I rooted and flashed my phone with a pre-rooted version of stock 2.2, installed a power saving mod and enabled move any app to sd (adb), installed loads of apps and it worked fine.
I've just gone to install a new app from the market and I can't get it to work. Anyone know of a fix?
Thanks
What app? Did you try clearing market cache and data? Tried rebooting your phone? If not, read and search first, post later.

I had the same problem, first time it say installation unsuccessful, second time it is successful..I think is a problem with the market, google doing some update on it..
I searched and tried some suggestions there. Formatting SD etc. Reflashed the rom and it seems fine now.

Maybe switching ROMs or re-flashing your current ROM will work. Give it a shot, backup your apps of course.

Are they apps that you have ever had installed? Try installing an app that you have never had installed and see if that works. If it does, then use a file explorer (I use astro), and see if there's anything in the folder titled ".android_secure" (without the quotes of course) on your sdcard. I actually had this problem before, and there was some left over app data that was interfering with the installation I guess
geez was hoping this would work but I just checked my astro application and checked android secure and all directories are empty. also this is a problem with applications that I ready have that need to be updated and brand new applications I am downloading from the market... I just get a triangle with an ! in the middle of itfor each application that did not successfully install... and this is a brand new problem haven't done anything different been running the newes t fresh for months now

What is your memory situation?
Froyo apps2sd ? A2sd ?
GO into recovery and clear cache and Dalvick cache.
Try wiping the market data this happened to me couldn't update or install anything and it worked

Did you install your previous apps from the market or did download apk's then install them? Try Settings>Applications>Manage Clear market cache and data that might work like the other person said. Check your memory. What rom are you using? Try backing everything up then go do a factory reset and then setup up your google account that's what I did when that happened to me months back and seemed to work. Hope I helped

I'm having a similar problem. After the 2.33 update, it FCs when I chose "My apps". I tried downgrading to several different versions, cleared data/cache, wiped cache/dalvik, but no joy. Now, after I press "accept" on initial start, it FCs. Any help?
Thanks.

Update: I used TiBu, wiped everything again, still no joy. I ended up deleting the Market app from Manage Apps. This left the /system/apps version of Market intact, but unavailable to launch. I rebooted the phone, the /system/apps Market became available in my apps list, and it worked. It then automatically updated to 2.33 again and now all is well.
I had similar problem with my htc evo with cm7 rom after flashing a google add on. As soon as you clicked maket it would try to open but then close right away,I tryed to wipe market data didnt work. Did as you sudgested and wiped catch and dalvik catch and reinstalled rom and the previous add on and no problems after that. Thanks
Question I already had a add on flashed after installing cm7 and tryed flashing another one over the other add on. Is that why I had problems with market?
The main reson I tryed flashing the second add on was After flashing the first one I did'nt have a voicemail app. The voice mails would come in a text with a link to hear the message.
Does anyone know a way to get my voice mail back? Thanks

Downloading from android market question (easily the weirdest problem you'll see)

Hi XDA, long time lurker, first time poster.
So I rooted my droid incredible yesterday evening. Everything was dandy- I installed CM7. However, this afternoon i stopped being able to use the market application - it would require a force close - both the market app and downloader. I decided to wipe everything, reinstall, and re root and do it again. I installed CM7 again, market wouldn't work. I then did a full wipe, factory reset, cache reset, davlik reset, and installed the newest nightly build of CM7. Still couldn't download from app marketplace.
I now just installed SkyRaider 4.0. I still can't download from the google marketplace on my phone. I can, however, install from the amazon app store, and when I use google's web install interface I can install the google marketplace apps from there (this also works for appbrain).
--I can use the google marketplace and appbrain marketplace on my computer, just not on my phone --
Clearly, the default android marketplace app doesn't work on my phone (and consequently appbrain as it goes through that).
How can I fix this?
Thanks,
Brian
Any other apps not working?

Have you tried fixing permissions?

Reboot into Clockwork recovery, there is a fix permissions options. If I remember right it is in the advanced section. Run it. It will not hurt anything it will just run script that will run through the files and fix the permission settings on them.
Fixing permissions didn't eliminate the problem.
Did you download the Google apps zip with cm and flash it too? You never mentioned that part. Might be the problem

YouTube app

Has anyone one on the stock GB ROM (2.3.4) been experiencing problems with YouTube? App version is also 2.3.4 and this just happened 2 nights ago. The story goes: was watching some videos answer after a short while of browsing the app force closed and now everytime I try to launch the app it launches the system settings instead. It does this when I click on it from the home screen or the app tray, I have already uninstalled all updates and prior to doing so I wiped all the app cache. After re-installing all updates it is still experiencing the same issue. The only way I can launch the app is to use my browser and find a video I would like to watch, upon launching said video I have the option to tell it to open in the YouTube app.

Are you rooted? If so uninstall all youtube updates, then use a file explorer to go to /system/app, and delete the youtube apk. Then go to /data/data/ and delete the com.google.android.youtube folder. Reboot to recovery and wipe cache and dalvik-cache and then reboot. Once booted install the youtube app from the market again.
Sure am, I'll give it a shot. I'll post the results. Thanks for the reply!

Had to install root explorer but I got root access and deleted the files. Dinc kept restarting and the files would automatically be restored, didn't get as far as wiping dalvik cache because I wasn't able to get into recovery for some reason until reflashing using rommanager. I did re-install the updates and now it is working again.
