Market not installing - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've tried placing vending.apk into system/app and then restarting then installing the zip from the sd card, but the market just force closes anyway?... the new market (3.0.26 or something) force closes after i press yes in the prompt to log in with an account.
Would love to have a solution, thank you...

There is a zip version in the gingervillain thread (development) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=880465&page=979. You could try this one and delete the dalvic cache before flashing it.

Probably an incopatible Vending.apk. If you're sure it;s compatible, deleted the dex from /data/dalvik-cache, and try again. Or use the wipe data option.

how do i tell if an app is compatible? sorry kind of noob at this
i tried flashing that zip andd it gave me an ok in the recovery but when i rebooted it was nowhere to be found..
also should i switch to the stock rom (my friend told me gingerbread for desire is out?) and how exactly do i uninstall any rom to install another? i tried to do one last time and a bootloop scared the hell out of me

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).

constant "Use My Location" request???

something really really strange has happened to my epic....
just a couple of hours ago, any time i type to search for something or if i select the search button, i get prompted to "Use My Location" "Do you want to allow Google to use location for improved search results and other services?"
doesn't matter if i select Agree or Disagree....i'm stuck in a loop to keep answering the question...
if i hit Home, the Task Manager i see "Google Search" and "Google Services Framework" runing...
i've never seen this before or how to fix it...
i've rebooted, updated my prl and profile, airplane mode on/off....i've given acces to Use Wirless Networks from within Location and Security but it doesn't help....
i haven't instaled anything new after flashing to 1.02 Syndicate rom last night...
i'm unable to use my phone and it's driving me nuts.... any suggestions?
thanks
Moved to Q&A Do you have an app called root explorer?
If you go to settings, location and security, uncheck use wireless networks... see if that helps

Ok. Go into data/app. Find the apk called googlequicksearchbox.apk. Move it to system/app, and delete anything else having to do with search from data/app, and then reboot. This should fix it.
wow...i don't have that apk....
in the data/app folder there is nothing called "googlequicksearchbox.apk" and there is no other apk in that folder with "search" in the apk folder as well....
in the system/app, i do see the "googlequicksearchbox.apk" as well as "googleservicesframework.apk"

Ok, try this then. Delete that app from system/app. Make sure you have no more google search functionality. Then, download google search from the market, and move it from data/app to system/app

i did it 3 times and it finally took..... i need a beer...
thank you for your help....
I had the same problem and clearing data on google framework worked for me too.
Thanks!
well, it happened again.... and this time along with constant messages of Swype, Messeging and Google Framework FC errors....
maybe i have a bad flashed rom....this is odd...
will try to reflash the Syndicate 1.02 rom now...
also got an android.acore fc error as well....never saw that one before...
anyway, i rebooted into clockwork and ran the wipe cache command....that seems to have stopped the errors...
what do you guys think? reflash the syndicate rom? wondering why this is happening now....not doing anything out of the ordinary in using the phone...
thanks!

Sounds like there is a bit of corrupted data somewhere. Have you been booting normally without a battery pull? If it reoccurs you might try a data factory reset and restore only data you absolutely need. Reflashing may work if you do all the wipes before hand.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
yes, regular reboots without batt pulls...
and so the errors all came back again!!!....so i booted into cw, wiped the cache 3x and reflashed the rom....
it's been stable for a while now, hopefully this is it.....if it happens again, then yes, i will have to wipe it out and reinstall rom and apps from scratch...
yea, something definitly got corrupt...wish i could figure out what i may have done to cause it...

[Q] "UIDs are inconsistent", most apps are FC'ing -> Can't Download from Market

[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.

[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.

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)
Worked for me!

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!

[Q] How to install back factory app?

Dear Forum members!
Today I wanted to modify the smiles in the Mms.apk system app..
when i Copied back and tried to isntall, my phone started to reboot and not come back... (I know of course I mistake
From ADB I fixed my phone but just a half success, I copyed back the original Mms.apk and changed the permissions to 644, my phone boots up normally, but I still can't install the apk.. if i try to isntall from system/app it says: Replace app.. (I dont see in any list to be installed) If I press Ok, starting to install, then says: X App not installed. In downloaded apps I see messaging with 0 kilobytes, i can remove. After this if i try to install from system/apps it dont want to replace but the same thing happens... (X App not installed) Another interesting thing. On my Sd folder I still have a copy of Mms.apk, if I enter into this directory withy any file explorer, its quit I have ftp server where i can rename to mms.app -for example. In this case the explorers are not quit But I have no chance to install like user and not like root?..
Of course i have rooted my phone and it works.
Is someone have any idea?
thanks: Karoly
Please help me
I installed to my phone a catlog to read out what happens durring the installation.. I see in the log there is no odex file in the mms.apk ... Is someone can suggest me a solution to install back my factory mms application? I really don't want to reinstall my system because of this problem. Currently I use the latest android update 4.1.2. I have too much settings and apps on the phone :S
Thank you in advance.

If your on a stock Google ROM (Yakju?) you should be able to download the factory image and fastboot flash just the system.img & your apps & data should be fine.
Hi. Thanks your answer.
I tried to flash only the system yesterday, wipe caches and fix permissions, my datas remained, but the mms app still not works.. nothing changed. Is it possible maybe to install this apk from recovery (cwm) mode?
Im sure if i reflash everything will work but i dont want to lose my apps, so i'd like to fight for it if its possible
