Hey wuts up all first on new here so I wanted to say hi and thanks for making such an awesome site possible! Anyways I'm having problems getting apps on the market like Google maps. It tells me my device is not compatible. I haven't done anything new from my knowledge. I'm running the cm7.2 nightly from xjackofall. It only happened with some apps. Can anyone help.
Try flashing the gapps.apk that can be found Here!
That should sort it out for you. Make sure you uninstall all the current google apps you have downloaded, such as google voice, maps, g+, gtalk and so on.
Good luck!
EDIT: Ok this link should work
thanks ill try that once i unbrick my my phone. i flashed a pc36img that i though would downgrade my hboot so i could get s off instead it locked bootloader and bricked it. ive unlocked boot loader again but it still wont let me into the recovery. any suggestions?
never mind i fixed it thanks for the help with the apps ima try that now.
I flashed the latest gapps but it didn't change anything. Any other ideas?
Could be an issue with build.prop maybe?
Well did you wipe everything before you flashed? I think the way you are wiping is not correct. Before you flash gapps u must full wipe, wipe dalvick cache and wipe cache. Then flash gapps. Also helps to be flashing on a fresh rom that doesn't have gapps included.

So I wiped everything and started with a new rom. Everything worked great for a day for two then I went to download something from the market that same damn error popped up again. From what I understand the market can tell what type of device you are using is it possible that the data it is trying to access is corrupt in some way? If so what could be causing it to become corrupted. Granted I could be wrong about how market works I'm still learning.
Try going into apps and clearing data and cache.
Its working fine now and I did nothing. Idk my phones been acting crazy lately. It turns thing off and on by itself wifi 4g and mobile connectivity work intermittently. Lately when I turn my phone on the mobile network is off. right now the onlything working network wise is 3g so I have no idea what's going on.
I'm having the same problem.............Can't download Maps from the market.
I just flashed the new CM7.2
Can u give a specific list of GAPPS that needed to be uninstalled? Some of mine don't have the option to uninstall

First try wiping cache, dalvic cache and clear the market data restart and see if that fixes it. If that didn't work then you will probably have to do what ihugyou said and do a full wipe and reinstall gapps.
Have u changed your screen resolution? If so you can get this error.

Ok i posted this in the Q & A section and Im getting NO luck so i figure Ill post here.
Tonight I decided to try cm7, so I flashed and the gapps, I noticed that all my apps from cm6 were automatically downloading and it was making the phone run so slow so after a while I just decided going back to my Evo elite rom, now no matter what rom I flash I can't install anything from the market! It just keeps saying unsuccessful. I tried downloading from the market website on my pc and the apps installed fine! But I CAN NOT download ANYTHING from the phone! I've tried 3 different roms now all the same result! Anyone know what's going wrong? And how to fix it?? Any help is MUCH appreciated! I also changed sd cards thinking maybe my sd card was corrupt and STILL NOTHING! I just get unsuccessful EVERY time. But If i download from my laptop it goes to my phone and installs fine! IM baffled!!! PLEASE help???
Reflash CM7. When you start the ROM don't enter your email address, skip it. Afterwards make sure you have GAPPS installed and open market. Sign in with your credentials but make sure you uncheck the backup to google options. You should then be able to manually download the apps instead of having it do it automatically for you. Make sure you make a backup with Titanium Backup first. I lost all my 3stars ratings on Angry Birds. I have to play that damn game all over again.
No I did that earlier, but the problem isn't only with cm7 now it's EVERY Rom I flash, I've flashed 4 different roms now and I just can't download ANYTHING from the market on my phone. The only way I can download any apps is going on my laptop,going to the market website and clicking install from there and it will install on m phone. I've NEVER seen this before I not have a clue what happened but it all started after flashing cm7!
Which GAPPS are you using? There are many versions on Rom Manager. Did you download it from ROM manager? Did you download the GAPPS from the CM7 thread? I'm assuming you are flashing the same GAPPS file on your SD card with every ROM install.
I don't need gapps with any other rom just cm7, the other roms I flash are sense so u do t need gapps, it's weird I click a app to download it says your app will start downloading then it just says unsuccessful. I just tried a FIFTH ROM and I STILL can't download any apps
Go to Settings-Applications-All-Market and clear cache and stuff. Try it again and see if that helps.
Also go into recovery and try wiping dalvik cache.
maybe you need to do a full wipe...
wipe everything 3 times...
or
use the mod wipe that cleans everything.. it is listed in dev section, so a search for it.
I was looking at the MIUI thread and found a solution to people who can't download from Market.
"Open the "downloads" app from your homescreen, hit menu, and select download using mobile network to allow."
I don't know if it will apply for the ROM you're using but it's worth a try.
^Think that only works on Miui. I just needs to clear market data and cache I think.
Ive literally tried EVERYTHING guys! You know what worked? I had to make a new google account! If I sign in under the account I just made i can download from the market but if I use my regular account I cant download a thing!! Anyone know how to fix this????
Try changing the password on the account that doesn't work and then try to see if the downloads work. I'm running out of ideas on things you should try but I would bank on that being an issue. I hope.
Im using Insertcoin nightly V40 and i Upgrade my desire to Insertcoint nightly V50. I perform FULL WIPED. My problem is every time i download in to the market it always stuck in " Starting download", I try different kind of solution and it didn't work and also i cannot log-in on G-talk
Have you wiped dalvik, if you haven't you should do it, even after a full wipe, it helps
Sounds more like an ISP problem. Can you connect to another website?
Also tried using a different radio?

I have this issue on RCMix and Insert Coin. The solution is very easy. Go into Market, select what you want to download. Exit Market. Go to 'Talk', press menu and select 'Sign Out'. Go back to Market and your download should start. Furthermore, go back to talk and you'll find that that works too, as if you hadn't logged out! I did get a freeze once when going back into Talk but it's been fine ever since and you only need to do this the once to cure the problem.
I got the same problem on v51,
Deleta data of
Google Checkout(Sometimes it's HTC checkout, still delete)
Talk
Market(cache as well)
and also the remaining apps with google in front of them(let the one with back up stay)
Reboot,
This worked for me
Hi,
I installed the AceSMod007 v14 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113070) yesterday and the market app stopped downloading applications since then. All I get is the "Starting download" message and "Application failed to download" about half a minute later.
It's the same for both: updates and new downloads.
What's more annoying is that this problem didn't go away even after a full wipe, cache wipe, dalvik wipe, instalation of a different rom (one that worked earlier), or restoring a backup. :/
I've also tried to clear the market app data, cache, signing off from GTalk. I've also done everything written here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=945284
Nothing helps. Also, what caught my attention was "signed for Market as Froyo: 2.29.405.5 CL293415 release-keys" on the AceSMod007 thread. Could this have something to do with my problem? (I'm still quite a bit of a noob).
Finally, I've just noticed that I am able to download apps from https://market.android.com/ without any problems, which is a bit strange I think.
Any ideas anyone? Thanks in advance! I'm off to make another full wipe and try different rom...
Ok, looks like everything is better now...
I did another full wipe etc, installed latest InserCoin [NIGHTLY], after the initial accouns setup and so on, it downloaded automaticly a lot of my apps, but failed at some, and the market problem remained.
Then I went to the market.android.com, installed Titanium backup from there and restored all apps, data and settings (backup made before the market problem first occured)... and now it's much better.
Thanks for your resolution.
I have the same problem on AceSMod007 v17 and would be also fix with downloading TitaniumBackup from the Market Homepage and restore all Apps over TB.
But I don't understand why or whats the problem?
Ok it works... that's the main point
Same problem with a MIUI Rom, but nothing to do... doesn't work...

So after i flashed RCMix3d Runny v4.0 I tried to download an app from the market and get the error: "app name" could not be downloaded due to an error. It happens with any app I try to download any app from the market. I tried many things with no luck
-clear market data and cache. didnt work.
-uninstall market update. didnt work
- switch gmail accounts. didnt work
-flashed back to my previous rom. didnt work
I did wipe the phone before i flashed RCMix3s Runny v4.0
when I restored my previous rom it didnt work so i tried to wipe my phone again and reflashed the rom and still didnt work
can anyone please help me out here?
what exactly did you wipe? data & cache? use superwipe, maybe this helps...
i wiped data and cache. ill try superwipe
anyone? i tried superwipe and the problem is still there
Check your SD Card
check your SD card, take it or mount it on your PC and do a chkdsk (might need the /f to fix errors). Last time I had an issue downloading apps, my sd card was messed up. I don't understand why that would be.
good luck.

I had this issue when I first loaded mexdroid.
The first work-around I found was to select a different language option after the flash (during setup). English US wouldn't work, but English UK would give me access to the market. However it screwed up my data connection so that was a no go.
I eventually found that this only happened when I downloaded and flashed using ROM manager (first, and last time I've ever used that). Once I downloaded from their site and flashed myself through recovery, everything was perfect.
I currently have this exact same issue, only I went from mexdroid to synergy and back. I haven't tried wiping anything yet but I got this suggestion in my thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19432854#post19432854
Go to Settings/Applications/Manage Applications/All
Find Market, first force stop, then clear data
Next find download manager, first force stop, then clear data
reboot into recovery and wipe the dalvick cache
then reboot system and try your market again
I'm going to try this soon and I'll let you know my results, but if you discover a fix first please post back, I don't like having a broken market!

I had done all that when I had the issue. It didn't work for me but heres hoping it does for you!
So you basically had to wipe everything and reflash mexdroid from scratch?
EDIT: I just tried the method I posted above and it didn't work. WTF, what happened? I don't understand how my backup doesn't work now, shouldn't it be exactly the same as it was before?
I'm going to try one last thing, I have 2 mexdroid's backed up about a week apart, at the time they both worked just fine but I'm going to restore the older one and see if that helps at all.
2nd EDIT: OP, I don't know why this worked and I don't know if this will help you, but I just reverted back to my mexdroid backup from BEFORE I tried the sense rom and everything is back to working. I don't know why but installing the sense rom definitely did something to screw things up. I also don't know if this had anything to do with anything but I unchecked the "auto update" option for market. I hope you can resolve your issue, good luck to you
For me when I tried switching gmail accounts again it started working.
I also accidently wiped out my sd card. That was right before I decided I wanted to go back to CM7. When logged into my gmail account I forgot I had to use my second gmail account, but for some reason it started downloading apps again.
Not sure if wiping the sd card had anything to do with it but it works now. I'm happy

Glad you got it working, I'm happy with my results too but I'd still like to know wth happened to cause it in the first place. It's gotta be something related to google accounts somehow, but why did trying a Sense-based rom cause it?
weird solution
I tried clearing everything in order to get the market problem fixed when I had this same problem. In different orders, flashing, wiping, etc.
Finally, I linked a second gmail account, and now it can download. Why might this happen?
The weirdest thing, is that when I switch to the original account, it still doesn't work. Maybe a security file was corrupted somewhere?
I read something about google market locking somebody out if it thought there where too many devices attached or something. Haven't found anything to confirm that and I still don't know why I got locked out or why it started working again, but if making a new account worked that makes me think there's some truth to the market lock out theory.

Guys, this worked for me w/o changing google account or wiping sd,
1.)Turnoff your phone
2.) Remove Battery
3.) Remove External Sd Card count maybe 3-5seconds
4.) put sd card back in and battery
5.) turn it on and see if you can download again
I tried all of the solutions listed here; switching Google accounts, downloading an app, then switching back to my main account solved it. Thanks so much!
I had the same problem, going to accounts and removing my google account then adding it again fixed the problem
I added new account with the sync app, open the market, switch account, download some apps, switch back to old account and download other app. This fixed the problem. Thanks.

None of the posts on here worked for me ): I will keep trying though and post something if it starts working.
So I have MikG 3.1.1 with ducks combat theme, although I doubt that has any relevance, but up until today, my market worked fine. I could update apps, download apps, everything. But today when I went to try and download Instagram and then some games.... no matter what I do (Besides a full wipe and reflash.) I can't get it to work!!!
I've tried clearing cache, D-cache, data from market, uninstall market and placeing it into system/app folder with the modified permissions.... BUT NOTHING WORKS?
So what the hell can I do besides a full reflash? I really don't want to do a reflash because I ****ing hate putting apps back on my phone and recustomizing my settings
Might work if you use Titanium Backup to backup apps and settings, then do the wipe and restore from the backup made. Also probably wouldn't hurt to dig around for a market update

That's just it though, I don't mind TB, it's just a pain in the ass because some of the apps I have to actually DL from the market; if it's not working then I won't be able to restore all my apps. And I've tried other apk's laying around. I don't get it... This seems recent because there's a lot of threads I see from around the start of april but no possible fix, not for evo's yet anyway
Any help here guys it's driving me totally crazy. I've tried downloading an old market version before it got updated to "Google Play" and I can't even get it to open and update... WTF is going on here?
I literally have done nothing new to my phone in the past week. I was browsing apps the other day and downloaded pudding camera fine no problem. Wake up today to download another for my tumblr, but now everytime I try and wipe data/cache of Play Store, followed by trying to download something it FC's and will further FC, not even opening up afterwards.
I really don't want to reflash my ROM but it seems like I have no other option... Come on people, I know this issues has to be floating around with some kind of fix.
I don't know if this'll help, but have you tried booting into recovery and fixing permissions.

Go over to the Samsung epic touch 4g forum, go to themes and apps, find the thread "inverted Google apps" by rujules23 and go to his site. Download the market v3.5.16 for the evo, should just be called market v3.5.16 and not have E4GT on the end the E4GT version is specific to the epic touch and flash the zip in recovery that market should work for you, it will say market and have a blue and white shopping bag icon, it's inverted black with blue trim and modified to say market instead of play store on the icon. It fixed my play store problems when it kept acting weird(purchased apps saying they weren't purchased, FC's, apps incompatible, etc)

Yes I have tried. I've even tried the modded apk.
I will however, albeit being inverted, try the other suggestion with the flashable zip and post back with results
There's been a known issue with some of the new versions Google Play Store not downloading and throwing up error codes and such.
So I just downloaded one of the early versions until they iron out the kinks.
Here's the one that seems to work ok found here: http://www.theandroidsoul.com/download-google-play-store-apk-3-4-6/
Its the 3.4.6 version. Scroll down.

Tried the inverted, no dice. In fact, worse than before. I can't even agree to the TOS and it instantly FC's on me. At least before I could wipe data and cache and browse, until I tried to download something.
Going to try the previous version as mentioned. However, won't it try to auto update when I open it?
Still nothing. Constantly getting the error. The only difference now is I cannot even browse the market now. I aknowledge that market is changing to play store, it crashes... I open it again and asks me to accept ToS. Then instantly FC's.
Any other fixes guys? I'm beginning to think I have to reflash my rom which I really don't want to.
Any MikG users here can confirm if I can just flash the Update version over my current setup to maintain my apps and settings or will that break my theme and everything else? CUrrent theme is Ducks Combat
Did you delete the market completely before installing the inverted one?

Just re flash mikg it will wipe system for you but all your data will remain. I've had that happen with other things, you may have changed something that caused it and not known. Re flash, no wipe it will do the trick!

And yes I did delete the Vending.apk, market.apk, reboot, install, reboot, and try. Still errors

Checked on some of my old posts and may have found a fix to my FFC camera issue which is unrelated to this thread. What IS related however, is when I was flashing it, I accidentally wiped my sdext and now I can't unlock my phone for some reason. Just my wallpaper and my status bar...
So against my wishes it would seem I have to reflash the entire mikg rom. (
However, in my previous post about simply reflashing the rom OVER my current setup, anybody care to explain still?
No worries guys, had to eventually reflash anyway and working even better than before. Making nandroid to prevent any future errors. Proceed with closing thread
