For some reason I cant make any in app purchases or purchase apps from the app market anymore. I can download free ones no problem, but whenever I go to download one that costs money, I get a pop up error that says "ERROR- An error occured. Please try again later."
I believe this only started happening after I installed the custom rom "Codename Android" which i completely love and would like to keep.
Anyone know what to do to get this to work?
Thanks

Been getting this the whole night trying to go to my "downloads" section in the market place.
"A sever error has occured. Retry, or cancel and return to the previous screen."
Random.. stumped.. anyone else getting this? server error possibly?
I think it may be my fault because I cleared out my market data in my app settings. Or just a coincidence that the market's half bugged tonight
Same here, I can't access the download section in Market either. Maybe there's something wrong with the servers.

Lots of people have been reporting this tonight. I got the server error when trying to access my downloads, but it worked when I hit retry.
This is Google's problem and has nothing to do with our phones.
Getting the same error, nothing I do bypasses it.

Still experiencing this. The rest of the market is working fine and still lets me search and download apps. I just cant access the downloads page. All other Google apps seem to be working properly as well.
I think google is applying a system/security update on the market. Notice that all paid apps are inaccessible.
Has anyone noticed that not all apps installed on your phone show up in the "Downloads" section of the phone apps. I'm not referring to spoofed apps, rather free or paid apps that for some reason just don't show up. I've narrowed it down to countries. For instance, if I download via Kies a free app from the UK store, it installs fine and I can use it. However it won't show up in phone apps, thus preventing me from re-downloading or re-installing it at a later date.
Has anyone else noticed this? At first I thought my phone had a bug, or that I had reached a max limit of apps that would display on the phone apps. But now I'm starting to this it is a bug, or is actually like this by design.
i think it is design. but is it not that if u download and install via kies from another country other than your native one it will not show in download section??
It should show up. I mean my main store is the AU one, but often there are free apps on the UK, ES and other ones. The apps install fine using Kies. But they don't show up in the downloads section at all. I even tried submitting a Q&A with Samsung but it never accepted my submission oddly. Anyway that's another issue.
I'm not sure if it's by design or not, but it gives even more credence that it's best to install apps using Kies. Then you have a backup of the app if you want to re-install later.
But the best tip I can give everyone is this. Create separate accounts for the different countries's app stores. It's easy to just download an app and not bother, but it's well worth the effort. That way you can also login and re-download the app at a later date too. I created a UK, FR, ES, RU account and continue to do so for any free app I am going to download. Since other countries apps dont' seem to show up in the downloads section, I can't recommend enough taking the short time to have multiple accounts.
Greetings.
Since today I haven't been able to download apps I purchase in the Market. It all started with a message relating to the change over from Google Checkout to Google Wallet and I believe I had to accept a new agreement, which I did.
After trying to purchase the game I received a message about an error with the purchase using Google Wallet and I would receive an email updating me on the purchase.
Now the game is in a constant state of 'Starting download', and force kill and wiping cache and changing/checking credit card haven't solved the issue.
I wrote many more details about it in another thread started by someone with similar issues, only he posted in a Droid forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1465777
Also there was something different about all the other receipts I usually get back from the Market:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21865779&postcount=21
I'm inclined to think it's an issue relating to that Checkout to Wallet transition and possibly because I'm in Canada? Could it also be related to the fact I used a VPN to sign up for Google Music, would that have messed up the country location for my Google account?
Just a few more quick details in case you don't visit the above link... free apps will download, as well as paid ones that I uninstall and reinstall. It seems that all new apps won't download but it let me refund another one I attempted to purchase after it wouldn't begin the download.
Thanks for the feedback,

Wipe data from Market and Google Framework Services, reboot, and give it another shot...
I seem to recall the Google message saying something about the Market having to reset, so you may have jumped the gun a little...
Well my issue seems to be resolved. It was most likely a Wallet issue, and I believe that deleting and re-entering my credit card fixed it, only it took some time (I'm assuming they tried to charge it again overnight because I woke up with the game already installed successfully this morning and was also able to buy another app. I'm thinking the info got mixed up when they changed me over from Checkout to Wallet.
Give that a try if you get the same issue!

I can't seem to dl any paid apps at the moment from either my SGSII or my Galaxy Nexus. I can dl free apps OK but get "an error occurred. Please try again" message on any paid app.
I was able to dl from the internet but not from the market app itself and I have never had issues before.
Anyone else having an issue like this today? I'm in Canada by the way on Rogers and always have been able to dl paid apps...
I have cleared the cache and wiped the app data and rebooted each device but still get this error when trying to do paid apps...
Bump... Anyone?
I have the EXACT same issue. I've had a ticket open with Google support for 8 days now... and they have failed to get back to me about much of anything...

May I ask what country youre in? You have the SAME issue as me? Can you install free apps but just not the PAID apps?
I now seem to not be getting push notifications from Gmail and things as of this morning anymore either and again... This affects BOTH my GNEX and my SGSII so I know its NOT device related...
Ive read some other threads on Market Issues that are SOMEWHAT the same but not exactly and followed their instructions to fix the issue such as... Deleting my Google account and re adding it, Deleting my credit card and re adding it, etc and nothing has worked...
I mut have deleted the app cache and data like 30 times on EACH device and rebooted like 30 times on each device and still I get the same error...
FRUSTRATING!!!
At least I know its not JUST ME and if I had to GUESS.. Id say that this issue has to do with the switch from Google Checkout to Google Wallet...
*EDIT* My push notifications from Gmail have returned but the Market Error still exists!!! GRRRRR!!!
So... I got a reply from Android today and they advised that I uninstall all market updates to rectify this issue. I did so on my SGSII and rebooted my phone and low and behold.... IT FIXED THE ISSUE... I will try it on my Nexus too if I need to...
EDIT - It did not fix the issue completely as I still get this error but after a couple trys it will let me in to purchase apps ONLY on my SGSII...
Ok so... I did what they said and uninstalled the market updates from my SGSII and it seems to have worked... well... kind of...
I still get the error but now if i try it like 3 times or so it finally lets me purchase paid apps BUT...
I went to do this on my GNEX but since market v3.4.4 CAME with the device there is NO update(s) to uninstall and as such I still CANT purchase paid apps from my GNEX market app... :-(
For ANYONE who is having the same issues as I am, keep an eye on this thread because I wont stop until I figure this out...
Ok, so... I got another email from the help desk telling me to factory reset my device(s) and that should fix it (even though this is CLEARLY NOT device related) so I backed up my items from my GNEX ONLY (as I seem to now have a 75% properly functioning market now on my SGSII as I mentioned in my previous post and dont wanna mess with it) and factory reset and it STILL did not work!!!
I then tried another tip I found here and cleared the cache from the "download manager" app AND again from the Market and THAT did NOT work either!!!
This is getting VERY upsetting!!!
Again... For ANYONE who is having issues like this or similar please keep an eye here as I will continue to post any progress.
I fixed it by deleting all updates to market in Settings/Applications/Manage?Market app. Google Talk could then work as well.
Have the exact same problem now.
Not sure what the issue is!
Have done all the "regular" fixes.
Drives me nuts tbh!
Running AOKP B27, stock Kernel.
Did anyone ever get this fixed? I'm having the same issue on multiple ROMS...currently running Codename Android 1.4.0 I can download free ones no problem but not paid apps....
I'm running AOKP B27 with Trinity Kernel and just bought Poweramp off the market a couple hours ago for $1.99 (48 hour special)...
I had the same problem. I tried all the other poosible solutions, the " Settings > aplication > all > Google Services Framework and force stop, clear cache then reboot your phone." solution did it for me
I recently made the switch over to CM 7.2 from 7.1. I've flashed plenty of roms before, so everything went smoothly. Only problem is now apps I have paid for in the market now show the price instead of the normal "download" button. Clicking it takes you to the Google checkout pay screen....
They are still listed in the "my apps" section, so what is going on?
1) Do you have multiple accounts on the phone. Have you gone to market settings and made sure you are using the account you purchased them with?
2) Have you tried clearing data from market app to see if that clears it?
Only one google account and wiping the market didn't fix it. But I just tried wiping market data and rebooting the phone, that seems to fix it. Might be a fluke, some research into other people with the same problem seems to point at a Google server error that resolves on its own. Thanks!
I already had paid apps not showing as paid but everytime i've been able to install it after clicking as if i wanted to buy it again (i mean just the 1st click on the price !).

what he said...and I have CM7.2 and try downloading them from the web
Not showing as paid? Or not showing under the "My apps" list?
