I am unable to install apps from the market. I can access the market and select the apps but all I get is starting downloads which doesn't change even if I leave for hours. I have WI-FI enabled and can access the web with no problems. Here is what I have tried already.
Clear Data in Downloader,
Clear Data and Cache in market
Factory reset
Flashed to CyanogenMod 7
and I still cannot download any apps.
If you have s-off you could try deleting the market.apk file and then reinstalling from a non market source? If you search xda I'm sure I remember several threads about this.
I had this problem a few times. Have you recently changed your Gmail (If you use Gmail) address from @googlemail to @gmail? This is what caused the problem for me and many others...

I never did work out what was causing the problem. I installed CyanogenMod 7 and all is work again.
Yea, sometimes just a reflash fixes the problem. I also found that, sometimes, the download would just finish but never actually install - almost as if the .apk downloaded but the Market Process just never actioned the new .apk to open, so it just sat in /cache until the next reboot, doing nothing.
log in to google talk...i think that should solve the issue.

Hi,
Originally, I rooted my phone to gain access to the Android market. The market opened and says loading then it would return back to the menu.
so, I downloaded market access and marker enabler and both of them do not open the market.
Just as a note, the country im in is a "forbidden country"--so Google says. I can't even open code.Google.com.
Is there some sort of modified version of the Android market app that I could use to access the market?
Clear market cache, reboot into cwm recovery and clear the dalvik cache. Reboot, market enabler, save settings, settings list, long press on a provider, fake provider now. Then Try market again. When finished with market, restore settings from market enabler. Good luck.

because my net is too slow right now, since im using the carriers internet, i cant download the flash cwm image thingy.
so to delete the cache, i went to the terminal
su
cd data/dalvik-cache
rm *
rebooted and followed instructions, but still, its not working
You cleared the Market cache as well?
Settings, applications, manage app, all, market, force stop, clear cache.
Clear dalvik again and reboot.
Try market enabler same as before.
Note: If you fake your carrier, I don't think you can use the phone data connection, because market enabler changes the APN ? Maybe you will need to use WiFi until you restore the settings. I think also that if you restart the phone, settings will be restored back to your own carrier.

yea, i did all that, ... , and im guessing the same thing, ... , but i dont have any wifi connections at this time. if i find one, and it works, i'll post it here, hopefully
[Q] "UIDs are inconsistent", most apps are FC'ing -> Can't Download from Market
So yesterday I ran your run-of-the-mill market search for updates, "update all", phone back in pocket while downloading.. when I pull it out, it's frozen up completely. I leave it for half an hour before pulling the battery, but on booting, the updates start again, and sure enough before long the damn thing freezes up. I try this again a couple of times before clearing all data of the Market and Download Manager apps. Woohoo, seems to prevent the downloads automatically starting, and thus in the short term my phone works. I'll sort out the problem app in the morning (ROM Manager seems to want to go to 4.x from 3.0.2.4, and it's by far the most system-nosy app on the update list, so I'm eyeing it with suspicion).
Morning comes, quick check on facebook and xda in the morning, seems fine. Phone in pocket. Next time I take it out, the bastard's frozen and needs a battery pull again. Swearing a bit by now, I see with some anxiety that when it finally boots, it's throwing something about "UIDs are inconsistent. You should wipe /data." Ohhh dear. Interestingly (and adding to my stress levels), it seems to have started the Sense launcher instead of Launcher Pro, and I'm getting "Swype has FC'd" errors every half a minute or so, on top of the fifteen or so FC messages for various apps after dismissing the UID error. Thank god for the hardware keyboard.
Having a look around on the net, there's a few references to a file called 'uiderrors.txt'. I've taken a look in this, and it seems to have every single app (i.e. everything listed in the All tab in Manage Applications) listed with a mismatched UID.
Any ideas? I suppose the next step is formatting the SD card, but I was wondering if anyone knows what's actually gone wrong here before I start down the path of blindly resetting things in the hope that something will work.
Virtuous 1.02 with the Standard (not Stock) kernel, on an Indian model Desire Z.
Hello... Okay first thing is wipe everything. Then reflash the Rom. If that doesn't work download a different Rom and redownload the Rom you were using. After you flash back try to fix permission. Don't format your SD card yet, let's do that if the wiping and reflashing doesn't work.

Sorry double post.
Thanks for the reply. I first formatted /data with CWM; on rebooting everything was nice and factory-like, but for the fact that nothing could install from market. After trying various fiddling around to make it work, I gave up and re-flashed Virtuous 1.02 (clearing cache and /data) - but still I can't get market installations to work. It eveidently worked for a while, because this time it managed to automatically re-install most apps from my Google account, but now I get "download was unsuccesful" for everything; paid and free. I've tried downloading on both wifi and 3G, uninstalling market upgrades, clearing cache and data for Market, Market Updater, and Download Manager, using ROM Manager to fix permissions, renaming /sdcard/.android_secure, unmouting SD card completely, and rebooting after each of these steps (except the SD card unmount obviously). I only have my primary Google account set up at the moment to try and eliminate any issues with my secondary account (which is a Google Apps email address). Now I'm at a bit of a loss. Does the download manager keep a log of the actual errors encountered?

Well try to download a different rom and flash it, try to download something not sense. I had that annoying issue before... Backup everything on your sd card and format it using clock work or go on the setting and format the sdcard there.

Why would formatting the SD card work if downloading fails even if the card is unmounted? Thanks for the reply though

Because sometimes the sd card can be corrupted and when you download stuff from the android market you will get an unsuccessful or your app says its downloading but never installs. When you restore the sdcard to its original factory it should work again. Well thats just me i guess. but i hope everything goes well my friend

i am having the same problem, i am about to lose my mind.
same issue here cant install anything on any rom
I just ran into this issue today. Anyone know if formatting the sd card actually worked? Backing up 7 gigs of whatever is on my phone is just gonna take too long. I don't wanna do it unless I really have to.
I've wiped multiple times and tried several roms, and I've even checked the rils on my radio and fixed permissions. The whole 9 yards.
Edit:i give up ._. im gonna try formatting it. are any folders on the sd card necessary to keep in order for the phone to function or keep it's root? if not, im only going to keep my music and clockworkmod folders.
had same problem, but a full wipe and clean install helped.
I know the answer to this is in the forums somewhere, but it won't let me search, keeps giving me an error, and I'm not finding any working solutions with google.
I keep getting the "can't install app, not enough space" error in the market.
I tried clearing market data/cache; clearing google services framework data; and un-mounting SD cards. I saw that there was an app that fixes the problem, and found it very ironic!
Error started about a week or so ago, was hoping it would go away with an updated nightly.
Currently running
CM7 - 107
Chads beta - 11
Mkt vers. - 2.3.6
Thanks for your help!
Not sure if this will help- but this happened to me 2 days ago. I was trying to install a WiFi tether program, and it wouldn't install and gave me that error.
Apparently the problem was that the new program conflicted with a previous WiFi tether program I already had installed. Instead of saying 'bad permissions' or 'file writing error' it said there wasn't enough space.
So there's a possibility that it's a problem with permissions OR it's just trying to install a file to a location that is already in use.
I got it to work by simply uninstalling the other WiFi tether program. Of course if *all* app's won't install for you, I really wouldn't know the first place to look.
I don't have an easy fix, but good luck.
Thanks for the suggestion. I actually had a little success a few minutes ago installing the app over the air using my laptop. Not a fix, but a decent work-around I guess

how much user space do you have left of the 740 meg
One way around this problem is to initiate the install from web version of the market. Even if you are just updating an app you already downloaded find it on the market website and click install. For whatever reason, it won't give you the error.

I've read somewhere that there's a partition of space (150meg) for data files, and if it's full then it'll give that error for new installs.
They really need to get more specific errors because it seems like this 1 error can apply for several very different reasons.
I got an easy fix for this !!!!!!!
Simply go to the market, search cache fixer. !! That work! The market fixer dont work at my mobile, but Cache fixer did ! Så now i can download all sizes of games and apps
Anyone having an issue with being able to download from the Amazon App Store. I have tried several different JB 4.1.1 ROMs and have the same issue with all. When trying to download an app from AMazon App store, the download fails. I also get download failures when trying to download a book from Audible which Amazon owns.
It is definitely a permission issue. I believe it from recovering my old data after flashing. It also affects Pocket Casts. I have tried using ClockworkMod and ROM Manger to fix the permissions. I have also uninstalled and re-installed the apps but still the downloads fail. Suggestions or ways to fixed the permissions?
Since the sdcard is virtual and is located under data/media, I uninstalled the apps and delete all information under data/media referring to the apps. reinstalled and everything is working.

I am running BAMF Paradigm and have the same problem. I linked my nexus to the PC with debugging activated. Found and deleted all three Amazon Files (Android/Data/com.amazon.venezia; Download/Amazon_Appstore-rlease.apk; mnt/sdcard/download/Amazon_Appstore-release.apk). Reinstalled app and the same thing (toggle between Download queued and download starting until finally says download failed)
I have also tried deleting all Amazon files and Rebooting, but then the Android/Data/com.amazon.venezia is back on my phone and the same cycle is repeated after I download and install the amazon appstore and try to download an app. Every other app is running great. Appreciate your suggestions.
Fixed Permissions in Recovery...Working Now.
Hey guys,
After the latest update, I have been getting Google sync error, and then there's the play store error where I cannot download apps.
Sync and app downloads happen at their own time and have tried from clearing playstore services cache to resetting the phone to factory settings.
Hard reset works but the issue returns. Does anyone else have this issue? Please do comment
Update: Tapzo was the culprit app, deleted it and cleared the cache. Restarted the phone and everything works fine.
Check for high ad serving and invasive apps, delete them one by one, cleaning play store cache and restarting the phone each time. Once the app that's causing issues is deleted everything should work fine.
Huawei might fix this in an update if all of us effected complain.
With L09 -B432-C183 I have the problem synonymous. Despite new installation and factory reset
Deleted Tapzo and cleaned cache off of play store and play services. Everything seems to be working including google sync(manual) and app updates and downloads, but still under observation.
delete apps that have more ads and seek more access to your information ie., gallery, contacts etc.... delete one by one and each time clear cache and restart, some app will be causing the problem and once you find that app everything will be back to normal
This might help:
Go to settings - Advance settings - Backup and Reset- Network settings reset
Should resume downloads.
I had similar issue. Truecaller app was an issue. Uninstalling and rebooting helps but issue will be back as soon as I install Truecaller app.
Temporary solution after lots of logs sent to R&D team.
Go to Settings- battery - lock screen clean up.
Untick all apps (Close all option must be greyed out).
Switch on Airplane Mode for 15 seconds . Turn it off.
Turn on WiFi and downloads should resume automatically .
Have you tried clearing the Cache files in the internal Storage and rebooting your device?
Only if I had seen this earlier.
I have been having this for a long time. Lost a bunch of pictures after doing a hard resets.
Finally this heped. Thanks!
If you use Truecaller either uninstall it or give all permission and also secondary app launch, trust app etc.
Once you download anything from olay store if it gets stuck, just open Truecaller and play store will start downloading.
