I flashed AOKP Toro Build 29 and gApps and everything was working smoothly until after I restored my apps and data and all that good stuff. I noticed that some of my google apps were missing. The icons were showing up, but when I clicked on the icons the phone said they weren't installed. I went to the market and started downloading the apps again, but after a few apps my signal cut out. The signal indicator still showed full bars and 4G, but they turned gray instead of the normal blue. Since the signal bars turned gray, I can't download anything from the market. Yet, I can browse the web, use twitter, send and receive text and picture messages etc. I've rebooted and rebooted, but I can't get the signal bars to turn blue again.
Has anyone else experienced something like this, or is this a bug of build 29? Is there something else I need to download?

What ROM did you come from? Build 28? Build 29 is 4.0.4., 28 is 4.0.3. Did you reflash Google aps? See link for Google apps at the bottom of the page where you downloaded build 29 (on Rootzwiki I believe) and flash that if you didn;t.
I flashed my GSM on B29 this morning. It messed up my phone carrier and lost internet on my phone. I flashed Google apps and they showed up normally except for Google maps and Google Music.
I could not download Google Music anymore because Play Store was detecting my phone as Rogers phone and denying it. I could not figure out how to get it back. I will appreciate any advice on Google music. I use Google Music (Play Music) all the time.

Or use market enabler that can be found here somewhere on XDA.

I came from Gummynex 0.9.0 (or whichever the latest build is). Before flashing, I wiped Dalvik cache and factory reset then flashed the ROM and Google apps. When I first rebooted and started restoring my apps and data, my signal bars were blue, then they turned gray suddenly.

The grey bars are a sign that you aren't connected to the Google servers. Try re downloading the Gapps that are linked to with your AOKP build and reflash them. Also: restoring data is sometimes causing trouble. I had it once restoring data from the people app causing my phone in a bootloop. If reflashing Gapps doesn't work: try reflashing the ROM and reflashing Gapps without restoring data.

Thanks for your advice. I tried market enabler, it did not do anything.
But I have downloaded google musicapk file now.

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
OK i have a strange issue with market 3.4.4 for which i can't localize the cause.
The effect is that "market stops working" when clicking an application to open the details page...searching for apps works ok.
If i uninstall updates (settings - apps), it reverts to 3.3.12 which works fine. Eventually it updates itself back to 3.4.4 and same issues occur.
I have this effect on both AOKP b21 and ARHD 2.1.4, as soon as i install ANY kind of themed apps (nitroz's or TP's rootzwiki individual mods).
I have a fresh install (wipe, superwipe, manual wipe, the hell with it, clear dalvik, cache, everything) of ARHD 2.1.4...installed hoolm's circle battery mod and ****ed up the market eventually. I previously tried Nitroz's v3.6 on both ARHD and AOKP and the same problem occurs.
What the hell is going on?
What's the chance that 3 different devs make the same mistake and mess up framework or something?!
Have you tried deleting Market 3.4.4 cache and data after the update?
Have you deleted any system apps? I noticed that if I remove NFC, Market crashes.
I've been having a problem with 3.4.4 also. The market works but my video tab in the main page disappears. Plus a couple of apps also say that they're not compatible with my phone. Like hexsyn, Facebook, friencaster...I've reverted back to older versions and cleared data and cache. Nothing works

yep, removed it...good lead i'm going to check on this.
i just got pissed off big time right now since market crashes AGAIN after last night worked fine!!!! I didn't do anything to the phone except airplane mode on/off overnight....
i'm running AOKP M3 with stock kernel...for 2 days now and had no issues...today morning market stops all of a sudden...wtf? don't remember when i removed NFC, i suppose right after installing M3 before yst-day?
i actually wanted to install ROMManager to backup my stuff damn....guess CWM is the way but no need to backup now since market is f0cked ...

i manually copied it over from the ROM package to /system/app, rebooted and now market works fine....
THanks @jhericurls!
Ok so Cyanogenmod 7.2 is finally out of RC stage so I decided to give it a try. I wiped everything 2x and flashed the zip follow by the gapps zip for Cyanogenmod 7.***. Flashed fine, setup google account fine then i noticed issues. The main show stopper for me is I cannot download from the market, I get the (**** could not be downloaded due to an error) message. Tried deleting market cache, reflashing gapps, and fixing permissions. Still no market, (never updated to play store). I also get an error in my status bar saying google talk authentication failed.
I cannot find a working fix for this.
Also the theme manager does not seem to work correctly. If I switch themes between the 3 built in ones only the battery bar get colored, every once in a while after unlocking the others will change (i.e wifi and signal bars) but they go back to white on their own after some time.
Anyone else having similar problems?

sounds like data has not connected yet? you might have the 3g symbol, but is it lit up like the other icons in the status bar?
I have the exact same issue.
I have data connected, and have tried using both wifi and 3G, and get the same error regardless.
I had to revert back to my recovery ROM for now but will try again later.
I installed the latest nightly (cm-7-20120708-NIGHTLY-passion.zip) on my N1.
So, here's the deal, i recently flashed JBSourcery 2.0 rom, its says gsm so i flashed lol..
since then, google play download and updates dont work anymore..any ideas?
i cant post in development yet so i cant ask there..

Which ROM did you come from?
Swype'ed on my CM10 Galaxy Nexus
BAMF.
I did all the wipes needed before flashing.
or am i missing something
Are you getting an error message? Try unlinking your Google account from settings, wiping data from play store, reboot and open play store. You'll have to type in your Google info again but usually fixes it
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
well, at first is says 'unable to get info' or something like that, then it managed to start downloading but would get stuck at 1 or 2 percent.
also, the google play homepage shows verizon apps, i downloaded another gapps package for xxxxO0C gNex, but still show verizon..
I don't get mine either. Now I use app2zip and flash my old ones in recovery
*This Jedi master be a Ninj-ESS*
Reflashed the rom last night, and everything seems to be working fine now :cyclops:
also, in every rom i've tried, none seems to have vibration on phone calls or received messages...
Yeah, i went a different route and tried a restore. Lost root and haven't been able to get it back either.

Hi,
I'm having problems installing the Facebook, Messenger, and Amazon Kindle apps from Google Play Store after switching to Open Beta 8 (Nougat) and doing a clean wipe. It basically hangs at "downloading" (doesn't download anything), then gives me the error 492. Is anybody else seeing this (or not seeing it)? Installation from Titanium backup works, but then when I try to upgrade, I get the same results.
Thanks.

Thanks, I forgot to mention that I tried the all the usual clear cache/downgrade Play Store/Play Services advices. At this point I am mostly wondering if it's an issue of the Open Beta 8. I.e. do other people on that ROM see the same problem or not?

i have not had this issue when i clean flashed the beta8 build from a 100% stock setup. have you wiped data and internal storage too before installing 7.0?
stuff like this happened to me a long time ago, and it was usually caused by some data left over from a previous rom where the problematic apps had been installed
