[Q] Market apps not installing

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?

CM7 Market problems since last week

Hey people,
I'm currently located in China and I've got serious problems with the Market lately.
I'm using and been using CM7 on my Moto Defy for months (almost since CM7-Jordan beginning) and I've never had such Market problems before.
So I'm wondering if
1) other users from China can tell me if things are the same (or fine) for them?;
2) anyone have hint/suggestion on how to fix this after reading what I did/observed here?:
First, I'll say again that I've never had problems with Market before; none getting it installed (through gapps zip) on CM7 when updating/reflashing ROM or Nand backups/ none with downloading or upgrading apps with the Market app.
But all in a sudden last week, I noticed that the Market was not reacting quickly. I was testing 111004-1128 nightly (which has a newer Superuser file included) then after SU updated itself automatically [coincidence???], all things broke loose, Market would not connect and give me errors. SU would also alway stay in the "Not Installed" List of my Market apps (even after reboots and logins).
I've then tried to install the Superuser Market update fixer app (big mistake I think now) but that just made things worst. In an effort to get the Market going again, I did clean it's cache and eventually it's data which basically resetted all my listed apps in the Market.
Following all that, I did numerous fresh installs [maybe 10 at this point]: RSDL Froyo flashing and CM7 and gapps installs [with and without restoring old working CWM backups] and with countless install combinations of older CM7 builds and gapps versions.
On August's gapps, Market always gives me the "No connection Retry" even if I can get connected to Google services since my wifi indicator turns blue or green (depending on theme/CM7 build used) and Talk and Gmail logs in fine.
On June's gapps,login seems fine: I can browse apps but as soon as I try downloading something, I get stuck at Downloading 0%... and it seems to put the servicee in some sort of bootloop since and other apps icons do not display until I get "Download failed to install - Try again" and click OK. Market will also FC as soon as I select anything from the "Just in" sections.
I've tried clearing Market's cache many times, started Talk, signed out and back in, let my wifi on all night to leave Market to update. I've even created a new gmail account and tried it on yet another fresh install with June gapps; nothing works and this drive me nutts!!
I can go on my desktop, use a VPN service to log in to my Market account and install something from there; it will be pushed on my phone alsmost right away. But again I can't install anything from the phone no matter what.
That would be fine with me, but that means that for any special apps that otherwise would require me to use Market Enabler, I will not be able to do it from the desktop either.
It's not a question of having DroidWall or anything else I've installed blocking something out; like I wrote; I've tried many clean installs without restoring or installing anything...: same.
So, has The Great Firewall" finally caught up to Android Market and stopping use of any Vending.apk from withtin China? Are they recent changes from Google? Or am I having other Market setup/install problems here? What's your take on this?
Thanks for reading and thanks for any help in advance.
Cheers.
And PLEASE do not "full quote" this long post (sorry for that btw) .

Market has been blocked by GFW. I can't access it either unless using VPN.

This sounds not so far fetched..
I live in the US, and I see the same type of behavior at my college.
I can get to the app, but when downloading it sits there for a century.
the idea of censorship isn't something I would blame, nor shrug.
Her are a few things I should try...
Use a spare gmail account to test with, and see if you can reproduce the same results...
Try and use that same vpn, configured through your phone this time, and disable any apn/data settings other than wifi... Now try.
Edit:
P.s. What ROM are you using? The cm team has a stable out now.. Guide that a shot...

My OP was a long one, but I think that i did mention somewhere that I've tried a new gmail account with same result.
My vpn use encryption and will not work on defy ;(
Strangely, from all my recent tries at getting gapps to work properly, it seems that I can only use 2G data to do the first account setup. And that seems to 'work' only with June gapps package.
Recent update (on RC1.5):
I've also managed to get my installed apps listed again by playing around with 2G data and installing and uninstalling a standalone 3.1.3 Vending apk as update and undo it.
I was able to download 2 or 3 apps (out of 50 trials) also by fiddling w data enable/disable.
But again, never before, in 4-5 months using CM7, I had to turn on data past the initial Google setup and I've never had any download issues either....
So i don't think that it's related to TGFW and will keep digging...
On 7.1 now but no change..as
I did flash june gapps w 7.1 but never got any setup to do since no factory reset. Will try a clean install tomorrow or the day after...
Thanks for your reply.

OK I finally got it to work after all.
I just tried to fix the fix the problems caused by the new Superuser update after trying a recent nightly in just the worst possible way over and over.
So what you have to remember is:
1- to NOT signin to your Google account using data and do it over wifi. So select "Skip" on the screen showing "Create an account", "Sign in" or "Skip" and go ahead with other settings: your baseband, wifi and especially turning off "Data enabled".
2- always use the latest gapps version, not the June one like I tried many times
3- Install gapps along with a fresh CM7 zip install; not a nand restoration.
4- after reboot (if needed by Defy Baseband Switcher) just press the Market icon and set up your account then
So wipe data, cache and Dalvik and install CM7 zip (RC1.5 is a good one to start with) and and latest gapps zip and follow the above.
Sorry for this useless thread and for me trying to get this working like a chicken without a head
So @ TimelesslyPrecise: if your downloads do not start, it might as well be because you did setup your account over data the first time.
So just start from scratch again:
- backup your apps [with TB, the newest (and free) Astro file manager or other];
- do a fresh CM7 install (no need to reflash Froyo) but do as above;
- restore your apps;
- then just click on the Market icon and sign in.
Don't worry if at first your apps are not listed under "My apps"; they will eventually come back with usage.
@xcjiang: yeah I knew that, but that doesn't mean that the Market app on the phone doesn't work.
Sorry again about that.
Cheers.

Didn't worked for me...
Instead I found cause and solution elsewhere http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1295222
To cut the story short, problem is in way that Market don't get DNS right.
Solution is to install app that will change DNS for every wifi connection DNS to OpenDNS (my choice) or GoogleDNS. I'm using DNS Changer.
Now enjoy superfast Market

[Q] Android Market error -101

What's going on here? Anyone got any ideas? I click download or update and it says "download error -101". I've wiped market cache, data, and i've downloaded the latest market.apk and installed it and it's made no difference. When i use my other gmail account it works every time though, which isn't much use when i want to update my paid apps and games :/

I get the same thing for the last couple of days. I was trying a new rom and I have a lot of apps. After loading the new rom it started installing the apps but after some were done, the rest give me this error. I've tried everything on the phone and then loaded a different rom but I'm getting the same error now right away.
I've heard that it may have to do with amount you download from Market in a specific period, has anyone been able to confirm this?

Well, it seems that there is a time based quota, I waited a day and everything loaded up just fine.

Yeah all is good now. Must be a time quota like you said. How you enjoying the Gnex anyway? I'm in love with mine

How long were u out for? mines been down for 5 days with error 101, but i can download market apps if i restart my my phone. it will work for about 10 minutes after a restart before the error comes back....

Strange, mines started showing the error again. I just flashed a new rom so maybe its reset or something. But it still let's me download from my alternate Gmail.

Same issue
Got the same issue its really annoying i hope it starts working before the drop the price of modern combat 3

I had the same problem, here is what I did!
Here is what I did:
*********************************************
1. Settings
2. Personal: Accounts and Sync
3. Selected my Google account
4. Once within my Google account, clicking on the context menu/settings menu I selected "Remove Account"
5. Once the account was removed it prompted and asked for a new account, I entered the credentials for the same account and then rebooted
6. Once it rebooted I went to the Market, accepted the EULA and downloaded Google Gesture (I wanted to try a free app first) without any issues!
FYI - the account I deleted was fine, there were no issues in how it showed up but deleted it anyway.
*********************************************
I hope this helps people out! Good luck!

Anything new?

Tried that and it worked for downloading maybe three apps but now it is back to giving me the 101 error again. This started to happen after I went from a yakjuxw build to yakju maybe that has something to do with it. I am running stock 4.0.2, rooted and unlocked bootloader.

This worked
Removing and adding the account worked! Thanks!

me too....so a can wait for minute....

Im experiencing this also, I tried removing my account, rebooting and adding it again and it didnt work. Its something with the account. I added my account to my wifes razr and same thing, no apps would load. Added hers to my phone and her apps loaded fine. I cant even push apps from online market to my phone.

Instead of deleteing the account. I tried syncing the account.
It worked.
1/2 the time without a reboot.

I have a Galaxy Note and the same problem with Market (error -101).
I tried to remove the Google account but it does not work. I also reset phone to factory mode and re-installed everything but still does not work
I have no clue any more what to do.

Mine has started showing the error again today. No new rom or installing lots of apps. Just happened. Really pissing me off now.

Google play store keep returning error

I am on jedix12 and no matter how many times I try to update an app it refuses to download and returns error code RPC:S-5:AEC-0. It dies when updating, trying to look at the all section in the my apps page, or if i uninstall an app and try to reinstall. A fresh install of a app works just fine. I have tried does what is available on google. Erase google account, restart, open play, add account. Didn't work. I do not know what else i can do. I also completely erased the phone. data, sdcard, system, and cache.

Google is the key...>>>https://www.google.com/search?q=google+play+error+code+RPC:S-5:AEC-0&ie

Prolly cause Google is rolling out the new playstore.

I found this website with Google but still did not work. I don't think it is directly related to the rom because its been doing this with all the roms I flash. I even formatted the system partition but nothing changed. It seems to be related to the Google account. I do not have a second phone to test this theory (Have ubuntu on my galaxy nexus). Has anyone had this issue before?

Try going to settings/applications manager and clear data&cache. If that doesn't work, go to accounts/google and remove account. Then resign in

This did not work. It actually started crashing. I rebooted then the crashing went away but still didn't fix the issue.

Download the new 4.0 playstore i posted the the apps section http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2227852 Did you remove your google account >>> reboot then sign in again?

Yes I remove, reboot, and signed back in. It had the same issue. I just finished install this new play store but it still did not work. I'm going to try to completely format the phone again (data, system, sdcard, and cache). Maybe I made a mistake somewhere. Ill return the results.

The results were negative. The market is still giving the same error. Im going to fix my nexus back to android and then, if it doesn't give me the same issue i will flash the stock ROM onto the note two and see if that fixes it.

I installed cyangoen mod onto the nexus and it turns out that it is doing the on that phone too so its something related to the google account.
EDIT:
Turns out that this is related to the account after all. I called up the markets customer support and they said it was happening to a few other people. They said they would fix it. Thank you all for the help.

[Q] Incredible reinstall CM7.2, gapps issue, and Force Close problems

I have been very thankful for CM7.2 and my rooted Droid Incredible. Its been a great phone for me and saved me tons of money by staying a great device to use. However I recently ran into some issues that made me think I needed to do a factory reset, wipe, and reinstall CM 7.2 and google apps.
So I downloaded the CM 7.2 for droid Inc and the gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip file. I did a factory reset from within the phone privacy settings and rebooted into recovery using Rom Manager. I then wipe the data and cache and installed CM 7.2 and then the google apps. After a restart though, the google apps had not installed and I got multiple force closes. In addition, all the google accounts were still saved which I didn't expect since I had done a factory reset and wiped all the data. Even the Wifi passwords were still saved because I didn't have to enter any to access wifi. Some apps were still installed as well like Contacts +. So it seems like something didn't go right with the install.
If I installed gmail, google voice, etc from Google Play store on my phone, then I would get a Package Installer error and it would force close causing the app to not install. I could install apps to my phone using the Google Play store website on a computer. When I restarted my phone though all the newly installed apps would be gone and I would have to install them again. I made sure I was installing them to the phone and not the SD Card as well.
Other things aren't working right either. For instance the adw.launcher home button doesn't take me back to the default home screen. Pushing the button I get haptic feedback but no action for it. No setting for it under "settings" caused any change.
I did clear data on the google play store thinking that would help with the install of the apps but that didn't help either. I still get force close issues.
I am at a loss at this point and not sure what to do next.
