[Q] Market apps not installing - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just tried installing a new ROM and it came up fine. Then when I tried to install any app from the market, it would say download unsuccessful right away. However, if I go to the Android Market website and install an app from there, it downloads and installs on my phone no problem.
I've tried different ROMs, they have the same problem. I've tried different Google accounts, those work perfectly fine.
Any ideas?

Go to manage applications, select market, and clear data. Maybe try a different market, have you tried the new one?

Cleared data, no difference. Installed the new market, no difference. Still says this item could not be downloaded right after I try to download it, but it does it with everything on the market.

After Googling it real quick I found a couple things. Did you try clearing market cache? Force stop market and retry? Do you have Google talk and if so, have you tried signing in to it?

[Q] Google Mail not available in CM7

Hey,
I've switched recently from Oxygen 2.01 to CM7 RC2. I did a full wipe (factory reset/cache). Then I installed the Google Apps and had the problem that I couldn't download from the Google Market. I reflashed the Google Apps (gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip) and now I could download from market and had apps like Google Maps.
My problem now is: I can't use Google Mail. The Market says that it is already installed on my device but it's not displayed anywhere on the phone. Neither can I choose it with the ADW launcher nor can I see the app in the settings menu of Android. I already cleared my cache again and reflashed a third time the Google Apps.
Can anyone help me with this problem? Or does someone know how I get to the screen where I can choose which Apps from the Google Apps packet I'd like to install ?
reflash is your best bet
If the market is saying its installed, can you uninstall via the market. Then install it again.

Can't uninstall via Market. I will try to reflash CM7.
Ok! For installation of the CM7, I normally do is wipe, install CM7, boot for the first time, don't install gapps just yet. Enter settings and enable your wifi connection. Now boot to recovery then flash the lastest gapps zip, reboot the phone and should have the apps and screen to choose which apps to install from the market. Well! It happens for the first time you use the market app of course.
That how I do things, hope it will help your situation somehow.
Now I've got Gmail installed. But I had to download the .apk file. Couldn't install it through the market.
Thread can be closed. Thanks to everyone.
Just to let you know, the gapps zip file doesn't include any market apps. It only includes the Market (vending.apk) and the Google Account Sync setup. Everything that is Google you need to get from the market.
You could of tried to have used the web market as well to install it. But seems like you didn't fully wipe it or something messed up.
I fully wiped my device twice. Market said that it was already installed but it wasn't.
Hi ekwinoks
I had promblems with the google mail installation. I found out that the Google-Mail app is not available on the german market. So i used the Market unlocker app to download the mail app.

Hmmmm very weird indeed. Did you try the web market?

[Q] Can't install apps. via market.android.com.

After having done a factory reset, installing my apps. via the Android Market website no longer works. It show's my device on the list and tells me it will install shortly on my phone, but nothing happens. I am logged in on market on the phone.
I have a Desire HD running 2.3.
try clearing all market data/cache or do another factory reset?
If that doesnt work, try logging in with another google account, or installing a new market
It happened to me once, but the only thing that fixed it was flashing a new rom.

Here's what I tried:
- Clearing cache didn't work.
- Tried creating new gmail account, added it in Sync-settings and wen't to market on phone. Clicked "Menu" and choose the new account for the market. Went to market-website, but it simply says "No devices assosiated with this account..." Why can't it find my device?
- Tried using old market with old account (since it's the only that can detect my device), no go.
I can see if I go to Market>Programs (the list of the ones I've installed), at the bottom it shows the Apps. I tried to install via market-website. They're not installed, and I can only go in manually and press "Install". So, it adds them to the Programs-list, but doesn't install them.
What do?
Sometimes I can't install too, the other time I just can... kinda strange

It has worked perfectly, until I did a factory reset. Now it simply never works.
Managed to fix it!
Apparently "Google Talk" was stuck, somehow - I rebooted the phone, opened "Talk" and it signed in successfully (got error: cannot connect to servers, before I rebooted), suddenly all the programs I've tried installing via market-website, started installing and I was spammed with facebook notifications.
I had never considered the app. "Talk" as I never knew it was associated notifications, connection between market-website and such. Oh well, good stuff it works now.

Apps won't download from Play Store

I can no longer download apps from the google play store. I press download, it says "Downloading...", the loading bar has small lines going across it, but progress never starts, and it sits there like this. Does anyone know how to fix this? I am running Tiny CM10.1.
My problems with the play store were solved when I wiped and reinstalled from scratch. This a sudden thing, or have you made any changes lately?
Others have also reported success by going in to Apps Management and choosing "Clear Data" for the Google Play Store. (There's also a Google Play Services in the list...not sure if it's necessary to clear that, too.)
I have had this problem somewhat recurringly on this rom, it didn't work for a while, then I cleared play store, download manager, basically anything with Google in the name. Other times this fixed it, but this time it wouldn't work even after a restart. I ended up getting it to work by rebooting to recovery, wiping cache, and restarting.

I Just had the same problem. Here is how I fixed it,
- Uninstalled updates for Google Play
- I added a New Google Account.
- I Then signed into the new Google Account, Then Sign Into Your Main Account
And "BOOM" problem solved.
I never had this problem until recently and it's happened several times now. It seems to happen after a major change to my system ie rom update or multiple app updates or Tibu restore I not really sure. I tried several methods of un-installing & re-installing the play store app and wiping it's cache and data with varying degrees of success.
What has worked every time without fail is a complete cache wipe with "CacheMate for root users" app.

PlayStore - doesnt work

Hey there,
i am really having problems installing the Google Play Store.
I first of all tried installing it via KindleFree App, but it directly closes after 1sec.
I even tried the manual adding via Vending and playstore apk, same result
i read, that some users tried it several times and just by accident it worked somehow, so i tried it like 20 times, but still doesnt work.
it closes all the time directly.
One thing to mention is, that when i install Play Store after a reboot it renames itself to "Market".
Any ideas what to do?
Running StariRom 8.3.0
edit: i even got notification that updates for my apps are available, so in the background it somehow seemed to work, but just cant open it

googleplay services keeps crashing

hello
I'm having trouble setting up my tab s.
After a factory reset, everytime I try to log in to my google account, google play services crashes and I can't setup my tablet.
Any ideas? I tried downloading the latest playstore apk, but no dice..
Thanks
Keep us posted cause I had the exact same problem. I factory reset and the Google stuff won't even pop up. I try to log into the play store and Google services crashes. I even flashed a fresh install with odin and the same thing happens. I did get it to work after updating with a ota. As soon as I did all the Google stuff was fine. I also have a back up so I rooted and and restored from the backup with flashier. I've searched and tried so many things and nothing else seemed to work.
