[Q] Android Market error -101 - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

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?
I already tried |mpulse tip, but it didn't help.
Phone: german GN unlocked+rooted
Thanks

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.

Market Problems

Hi
I use Modaco 3.1 which has been stable on my Desire for a long time.
Suddenly, yesterday, Market stopped working (I am in UK). I can see market apps, I can purchase apps and I get notification of updates, but when I try to download, I get 'Starting Download' after which nothing happens. Is there a Market problem? If not, how do I start to troubleshoot this issue?
Thanks.
PS - happens on wireless LAN or mobile internet.
How long do you wait before giving up?
Even now, sometimes (at random) it'll take a good while before it starts to download on mine. Have you left it "attempting", for say, an hour?

You haven't recently updated your Gmail account from googlemail to gmail by any chance?
It happens to me sometimes... if it stucks, turn off your wifi on phone, and than turn it on, it will start downloading immediately
Thanks all
I have waited 30 mins. I have restarted phone until blue in the face. ALl other internet services are fine.
Think I'll have to reflash
Tried going to application settings, click on market and then clear the data.

As I said did you change your gmail account on the PC recently? This effects it and requires you to re-run the setup
Clearing market cache fixes this for me when it happens every now and then.

You might also like to check that you are signed in to GTalk (Talk application) as this is inextricably linked to Market.

I found when I had a low disk space warning that I had your exact symptoms.
I also couldn't get any push email from google.

I having some issues too, but for me it's only on WiFi i get the "starting download" hang.
As soon as i turn WiFi off it works :S
I have tried clearing the market cache and i have not recently switched from gmail.

When you have low diskspace warning, it won't let you install anything and also not receive any e-mails, delete apps till the warning disappears and all should be fine (this is probably the main reason everyone is waiting for froyo)
Android Market problem
Hi,
I have rooted Desire running stock ROM 1.15.405.4. with app2sd. I have a problem with downloading apps and updates from the Market. The app starts to download and then it just hangs. I have no low memory warning. I have read in some forums that clearing cache in Settings>Applications>Manage Applications can help. But unfortunately whenever I try to start Manage Applications it is forced quit so I can't clear that Market cache.
Any suggestions please?
Also I'd like to upgrade to stock ROM 1.21 (rooted) with app2sd (without needing to re-install all my apps). Obviously it is not possible to upgrade via OTA. Any suggestions for this?
thanks for advice
I'm having market problems now too for the past day or two where it's stuck on "starting download...".
I'm running Modaco 3.1 as well with APPS2SD+ which was working fine!
1) My account was always Gmail so I haven't changed that.
2) I have signed into Talk fine and it all works including Gmail notifications working too
3) I have cleared the market cache
4) I let it attempt to download for over 12 hours - still didn't start.
5) Tried to reflash the ROM (without wipe) still nothing.
Any other suggestions or should I just total wipe and reinstall?

why would you do that? If it stucks, do this:
-turn wifi off
-turn wifi on
it will start immediately
this is definitely not working for me...

[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.

[q]market issues, require urgent help[q]

Hi there XDA,
Proud to be a member of the One X team, I have searched for a resoloution to this issue however I cannot find a single thing. Basically i ctreated a Google account specifically for this phone, as I don't use my old Google account and I wanted to start fresh. After logging in to it and setting up all the other accounts on the phone, I decided to install apps. I went to the online Play store however as the phone hadn't completed its initial sync it wasn't appearing online, so I started to download from the PlayStore on the phone. That's when I noticed that on trying to install UPDATES for pre-installed applications it said 'Your order is processing. Your item will be available in a few minutes' Well after a few minutes my application will not update and this error will not stop.
I did a factory reset, and set the phone up with my old Google account however I didn't set anything else up, just my old Google account. Then I tried to update apps through the PlayStore and it worked! I put the issues down to the new Google account and so quickly created another. I did a factory reset and set the phone up with ONLY this new Google account. The updates WORKED.
So then I did another reset and set the phone up with all the accounts ect and this new google account. The phone will not install updates and is giving me the error again also the phone is appearing online, however it won't install any apps, it says the request has been sent when i click install online however the app never installs on my phone. If I go to the PlayStore on my phone and install a not-installed app it will work though.
Please help somebody thankyou!

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.

"No connection" error in Google Play Store on LS970 Sprint Optimus G

I get a "No connection" error in the Play Store on my ls970 LG Optimus G. I don't know how to fix it. I've disabled adblocker, factory resetted, make sure time is set right, logged out and back on Google account, flashed other roms but it just wont work. I haven't had access to it for over a month now. It says Sync error on all my Google accounts in settings with "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly." at the bottom of the page. No method works. I just want to use Play Store again.

Yeah like BaNks Gapps.
I'm getting this too
I am also having trouble getting a connection to the play store and hangouts (Chrome finds it easily).
I just did a reset from a softbrick using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2443185
I tried a backup version from my previous install, and also an apk from XDA (4.8.20), http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2227787
I had this happen before, but I did a Titanium Backup restore for the Play Store and that seemed to fix it, but after my reset using the LG Flash tool (see above), my phone won't root properly, so I can't get Titanium Backup to do a restore.
I've cleared my cache, I've installed new versions, reverted to stock, manually set date/time, used automatic date/time, done a factory reset.... can't get play store back.
Failed again.
I just tried the reset again, and again no connection in Google Play Store app. Bizarre.
Started working...
Put in information for my wiped EFS partition, filled ESN/MEID/IMEI info, maybe that started doing it? Doesn't seem like it would, especially since it was working with those all zeros, but it's working now....

How you did it?
That's the thing, I couldn't nail down the reason it started working. As you see, I tried to log what I was doing above, but I couldn't get a sure reason.
