Hey chaps!
Yesterday, I got me an brand new Xperia Play.
But yesterday evening, I suddenly couldn't download from the android market.
I've tried to clear the cache, removed the updates and installed the whole thing again (I've rebooted after every step).
I tought it was maybe a server error or something like that, but today, I still can't download anything...
The phone got root already and I accidentally removed download.apk from system/apps/
I never remove apps from that folder, so I've moved it to my sd card. When I realised that I was doing it wrong, I placed the apk back and installed it several times...
What can I do now? I really don't want to do a factory reset cause I should have to do everything all over again...
Help me plz!
Greetings,
Sander

if you have CWM installed then make a backup of your rom and try flashing cola rom
it might help your problem since it is optimized and tested

Market BUG
After I flash this firmware, I only able to download a few applications and then something weird happened. The Market start to download the program that I don't download and it say download unsuccessful and after that when I want to download other program, It stuck at starting download.
Only solution I found is factory reset
I originally used DXJF4 rom

if the solution is a factory reset and does not repeat, it is not a bug..

Hey Luke,
Been experiencing this problem ever since i got this phone, i've now tried every firmware update possible, no real fix as yet. I suspected it had something to do with the fact that i moved from a Nexus One with Froyo back to Eclair, but it sounds like you haven't done that.
Let me know if you find a fix... would love to be able to use my market the way it was intended.
No YouTube connect

Thanks for the tip but it did not work. I'm having a problem where the imei number on the phone using *#06# is different to the case imei. I don't get how the numbers changed, but would desperately appreciate if someone could tell me how to match them up again?
I also have a problem with try to correct by changing .imei in /system /efs to match case imei but after reboot it keep changing back.

yes thanks that was the solution iforget todo factory reset
now works fine
I already had 2 crash/freeze with this kernel, it looks definitely unstable.
2 crashes situation :
1/ Pressing stop/play in xiialive lite
2/ listening audio in the standard mp3 player.
It crashed both time using the audio device.
I waited 1min the first time, hoping OOm killer or something else would kill a bad behaving process; without success.
The second time, i did not had time to loose :/
Very disapointing !
2 days after installing JS2 I'm still unable to connect to Market.
I'm unable to setup the Google login. Error is always no server available or something in that manner. Selecting clearing cache in recovery also did not help either.
Any suggestion is highly appreciated.
Thanks.
If you are not able to login to the market, then you will have a general problem..
Because you can even login if you dont have the market fix..
The market fix is just for secure apps...
I have searched these forums and have come across similar posts but not quite the problem I am having. From time to time I will get a market error when trying to update apps. "Market Error 492" and it wont download the update. I can fix this everytime by booting into recovery>Advanced>wipe Davilik Cache. Then Reboot. This will take care of my problem but will eventually comeback but never is it consistent.(sometimes I can go months before it happens) Is there a way to prevent this from happening at all? here is what I have:
Carrier: USCC
Device: HTC Desire CDMA
ClockworkMOd Recovery
Rom: CM7 Stable
Thanks in advance for any help

Hi, mount SD-card on my PC and delete the .android_secure directory, which will re-enable the market functionality.
hi, i have an SGS1 with Mosiac 9...
market stopped working today.... tried the following..
clear dalvik cache
clear cache
clear market cache
BUT how do i find the .android_secure directory
i cant even find it through my android rooted file manager?
thanks..
PS.. seeing how many different phones, ROMs are having this issue... i am believing that its a market specific issue?
i also found this... but i dont know how to use it correctly or if its applicable... im a newb....
"When the Android Market app 3.4.4 was starting the download of an app it failed after a few seconds with error "could not be downloaded due to error 492". Searching on the internet I found some Asian page which contains the solution ... execute "chmod 777 /data/download". After I had execute this statement under adb shell, I had been able to install apps without any problems on my AC100 (with the OS update from July 2011)"

Some days ago I flashed a ICS Rom, all went good but the only thing that i noticed was that my phone name had changed to lt18i in the market. Today I decided to go back to my previous GB Rom so I restored it from my nandroid backup. Now my phone is still identified as a lt18i and cannot download anything from the market. I tried to wipe the app data of the play store app but didn't do anything. Also the remote download from the pc doesn't work at all.
What other things I could try? I really want to avoid a factory reset if possible.
EDIT: Found a solution, i moved/deleted the /data/system/accounts.db, wiped the app data from the Play Store and restarted the phone, added my google account again and the market updated my device name and the downloads are working again.

I just tried this solution for my HTC Incredible 2 and it worked flawlessly. I'm currently running ICS 4.0.4 from Aeroevan's CM9 build. I tried clearing the data from the market and download manager as well as trying the "killall drmserver" fix, which has worked before. This here did the trick. I wonder if removing and readding the accounts from "Accounts & Sync" would've worked as well? I'll try that next time if it happens again.
Thank you.
Thanks! This fixed my ICS ROM'd Play Store problem

Just got the purchasing error from market and tried removing my account from Accounts & Sync. Phone gave me this warning:
This account is required by some applications. You can only remove it by resetting the phone to factory defaults (which deletes all your personal data.). You do that in the Settings application, under Privacy.
This worked for me too after changing around my apns. My market started giving off that error. Then I did your fix and now market/playstore is perfect again! Thanks! By the way you have to do the whole fix! You cant just delete your account in accounts and sync settings cause that doesn't work I tried.
Awesome!! I was starting to get pi$$ed... This was saver!

Now, on my phone I tried to find /data/system/accounts.db in astro & other file explorer but couldn't find it. Not in root or SD. I see a data folder in root, but there is no folder in it.
I also don't see the option to remove acct data in play store options. I'm getting relatively better this stuff but I can't find the options detailed.
A bit of elaboration please?

I just ran into this problem, hoping it will work on my tablet. When you say you moved the /data/system/accounts.db, what do you mean. Where did you move it to? Or do you mean you removed/deleted that file. Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I figured it out. Deleting the file did the trick. Thanks again
I actually resolved this issue simply by wiping cache and dalvik from recovery, and rebooting.
Btw yes I'm rooted but nothing there. I'll check again later though. Thanks.
Thanks. I have been searching for a fix. This worked for me!
Unfortunately this process didn't work for me. The various market fixing apps on the market don't work either (it's hard enough just trying to find their .apks since I can't download them over the market) and my CleanRom lost its keyboard and launch buttons thanks to trying this method. Looks like I'll have to wipe the device tonight. *sigh*
Edit: Dalvik and cache wiping fixed it for me.
This problem arose for me last night.
Fixed it by reinstalling 3.1.5 Market update.
Cache wipes did not help in any capacity.
Downloaded Market update file from www.arctablet.com/assets/apps/Android_Market_v3.1.5.apk
Probably a million places to find it but hope the link helps someone out.
I fixed this issue by making sure I was logged into Talk. The app wouldn't open so I uninstalled the update and then it ran fine, and the problem went away.
OP
your fix worked like a charm for me. CM9 on Motorola Photon. thanks!
