Market apps don't install

The market will download the programs, but the green download bar will be full, but it always hangs.
I have to cancel the download about 8 times, before it will finally install.
Anyone know whats causing this? It happens on all apps.

Does the download just hang or does it give you an error like "installation unsuccessful"?
If it's the latter then try unmounting the SD card and then installing/updating.
Also, you might want to try clearing the market app's cache in the app manager.
Also, sometimes I'll download an app and then go do something else while it downloads (like check gmail) and then when I go back to the market it'll look like it's frozen as a partial download but actually installs anyway.

I have had the same problem, i think its on the market side so u might try being patient and give it a shot later, worked for me

i get a similar problem. market will show me there are updates for my apps, but most of them will end up with "installation unsuccessful"...if i'm correct ALL of those have been moved to the SD card using app2sd...does that have something to do with it?
its getting very frustrating to not be able to update my programs without having to move them from sd to phone, update, then move back to sd...

Google maps gave me problems but it wasnt on sd

What Rom are you guys using?
I'm using Fresh 3.3 and I'm having similar problems.....but sometimes it works fine.

I was using stock at the time, i remember now i cleared market cache and reboot and it hasnt happened since

I wiped dalvik cache and it solved all my market download problems (wiping market cache didn't do anything).

Market not working and phone is rooted

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]Can't install/update certain apps

Hi guys! I'm having problems with the market for a week now. Some apps just won't update, or install. For instance; Layar and LinkedIn, I just updated a few minutes ago. Cordy and Stupid Zombies, I've been trying to update them for a few days. It downloads them, then says it can't install them. Now the last two apps are installed on my SD-card, first two aren't. However, when I transfer Stupid Zombies to my phone memory, same thing. So the problem probably doesn't lie with the SD-card, as doing other things on my SD-card gives no problems.
I still have enough memory left to install the apps, 722MB on my phone, 6,4GB on the SD-card.
What have I tried?
Reboot
Deinstall app, install it again. That failed horribly, I can't install the Pinball game anymore
Clear Market cache
Clear Market cache & force close
Take out the SD-card, put it back in + reboot
Try to download via 3G instead of Wifi
Someone told me to try and log in to Google Talk, as it is somehow linked to the market
Logging into the Market from my phone browser
Is there anything else I can do before resorting to a factory reset? I'm on a non-rooted, stock 1.72 Desire HD.

I've the same problem, i try the factory reset also didn't work...

What happened when you went to recovery -> Advanced -> Clear Dalvik-cache?

[Q]CM7 apps Force Close

I have used CM7 on my Incredible for a while now and have had to constantly wipe and reinstall every week or so. When i install, the ROM runs perfectly, with all my apps working and everything. After a few days though, most of my apps force close whenever I open them. Namely, messaging, Gmail, and browser force close, along with my market installed apps.
This has happened to me many times now and I can't figure out how to fix this issue. I have changed different options when installing the ROM and tried Fix Permissions in Rom Manager and nothing fixes it .
My friend's phone as well as my dad's have had this same issue on CM7 as well. Any help would be greatly aprreciated!

Any ideas?

Check and make sure your data/data partition isn't full. If it is, grab a cache cleaner from the market to free up some space.

This actually happened to me earlier tonight.
Had to reinstall to get through the night til I got back home, but I may need to go back to another ROM if this keeps up. Glad to know I'm not the only one though.

That's true, didn't think about that. Will I have to keep doing that more and more if i install more apps though?

This happens to me and all my friends phones with the cm7 final. They keep telling me its user error. We all have to clean wipe about once a week because of force closes. I finally switched it redemption rom

If what Smabbage said is true then hopefully that'd make sense. That way when you consistently install the nightlies, there is no way for the data partition to fill up all the way. Good to know. thanks!

I've been fighting this exact same problem. The only way I can keep it from happening is to do a full wipe and let the Android Market reinstall most of the apps. Then I can use titanium to bring back the missing apps and system settings.
Here's the things I've tried, with no success:
Wipe Cache / Wipe Dalvik Cache
Fix Permissions
Nandroid Backup then Restore (ok so I didn't expect that to do much)
Uninstalling apps, moving apps to SD (using the Android method, not Apps2SD)
Another interesting thing is that I run Watchdog, but instead of force closing, it pops up a message saying "Disk IO Error in Watchdog". That makes me wonder if some partition (Cache, data, I dunno) is out of space or worse, there are physical problems with the internal memory of my Incredible.
I have one question for everyone - How do I see how much space is available on each partition? I mean, I can go to the Android settings and see App Data storage left or SD card space left, but is there an app or tool I can see that will show me each partition with space left?

Had exactly same issue (even same Watchdog error) and Smabbage's answer was spot-on.
To check, open terminal emulator (gives you shell prompt) and do "df -k" - this will list all filesystems and, among other info, how full they are. My "/data/data" partition was full. Cleaned up some cache's and my phone is back in action.
Seems like a lot of games (and Netflix) fill the /data/data partition. Wonder if it is possible to make it larger at the expense of built in memory?
In any case, may be a good add-on to CM to monitor space in /data/data and give a reasonable warning when you close to running out.

I have been using CM7 for a while now and the apps that force close, are usually tied to the SD card. Try moving them to internal and see if it helps.

same here..
I use galnet miui (cm base)
after a few weeks, it shows 'disk io eror in watchdog'
and many programs fc.
never had this problem before.
someone can help me?
how can I fix this..

I know this is an old thread, but ive been searching around to see if other people have this problem.
i have found a temporary solution. open Root Explorer and go to /cache/dalvik-cache....use multi-select to select all items and then delete. reboot (IT WILL TAKE A WHILE TO REBOOT, IT IS REBUILDING, IT CAN TAKE UP TO 15MIN DONT PANIC) yes, this is in fact "wiping dalvik-cache" but ive gotten much better results doing it manually than through CWM.
this will calm your phone down at least for a few days with no force closes/service interruption, but you will have to do it again..........and again, and again. its better than having to do a full wipe though, obviously. hope this helps anyone who is still having this problem.

[Q] Problems downloading some apps on CM7

I recently upgraded to CM7. I love this version of Cyanogen but I have one problem with downloading several apps from the market. For example Firefox. When I want to download this app, I get the download icon in the top left corner for about 0.5 seconds.
I wiped my phone before
Offcourse I searched the interweb for a solution, but wiping market cache and logging in to Google Talk didn't help. Anyone know about this issue? I can't stand it that I cannot download apps from the market.

No one knows any solution?

Reinstalling the Market sometimes resolves the issue
Google for market.apk

I tried to install the market APK file but my phone tells me that the app isn't installed.

Install s2e from the market. Open it, select download cache and confirm the operation. The device will reboot and afterward you will be fine

Hi I'm new to XDA and had the problem mentioned above. Also, some apps such as Angry Birds (the horror!) will not appear in the market, however Angry Birds Rio does. Even after trying your method of s2e the problem still occurs. The when trying to download the Rio version, it pops up with "Starting Download /-/-/-/-/-/-/-/" for 1 second, then goes away again.
On the desktop market it says "Angry Birds is not available to your device because of content filters" or something-does this mean anything to you?
(It's not just Angry Birds, it's other applications too, but I can't remember which other ones)
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Try formatting and partitioning your SD card using ROM manager (it's built into the CM7 ROM)

Ooh it worked! Thank you!

Hi, me again.
I was fine, and the problem has just come back, same scenario before (except all apps appear in the market), however more apps do that 0.5 "Starting Download /-/-/-/-/-/-/ " thing again.
I tried formatting the SD card, and re-partitioning, although when I press "format sd card" it reboots in recovery and says "installation unsuccessful" -then there is no option for partition in recovery.
I am completely bewildered and would appreciate any help (again!)
Thank you in advance!
