Suddenly cant download ANYTHING from android market!

The android market just gives me that striped animation anytime I try downloading an app. Have tried clearing the market cache, google framework service cache nothing seems to work! Just the new EU firmware OTA and rooted and removed the bloat apps and downloaded script manager from the market without any problems. Then tried to download a busybox app...thats when the market just stuck on the stripped animation and its been that way with everything else I've tried from the market incuding updates to my apps. Please any help guys??

Done a restart ?
If it does not help: Because you are rooted, you should be able to delete the Android Market. You can get the AndroidMarket.apk from the net and reinstall it(Unknown Sources have to be checked). But before doing something fancy, you should do a BACKUP, with CWM or RZR.

Yeah several restarts. Just got an update, it appears the youtube app also gets stuck with the rotating circle...cant load the video. Cant help but assume these are related. And also I've tried this on both wifi and 3G, same.

This is strange indeed. If even the solution above doesn't help, I would recommend you to flash you ROM via ODIN. Usually it should replace the missing files, so this could work. Do a Backup as mentioned above.
BTW: But generally your internet works? (via Browser)

Yes my internet works fine. I actually cant do anything requiring a usb cable since I lost mine and wont be getting a new one till the weekend maybe. I actually tried some other things like clearing the cache partition in recovery (stock) and logging out of gTalk and relogging in which solved similar problems for people online. Just seems everything is fine...except the market cant connect and download stuff, and youtube cant connect and load videos...I feel its a google account problem surely but dont have a clue what to do. Thanks for your response all the same.

First......Ensure SD Card is properly seated, open phone and make sure of this!!!
Do these :
Settings/Applications/Manage
Applications/All/
Downloads/Clear Data.
Media Storage/Clear Data....

I cant quite explain what happened, but I fixed it. It had to do with a botched backup/uninstall of google books with TB. I tried to back it up but it seemed to just hang up. Then I killed TB in the Task Manager and restarted it. I realised a backup had been made for the older version(1.46) instead of the new version(1.52). Google Books showed up as a system app after my last FW upgrade and I updated it (through the market) but the update made the app unusable(FC everytime I start it). I ignored all that at the time since I didnt use it actually. Tried to remove it yesterday and I guess that set this whole mess in motion. Thanks to all

[HELP REQUEST] Apps from Google Play Store won't download via wi-fi! (a brand new XP)

Hi guys,
this is driving me nuts. I've searched the webs and found some answers, but not anything I'd like to do to remedy this problem.
My brand new R800i, not rooted, won't download games from Google Play Store via wi-fi. It will just say "starting download" and then nothing happens, I can just just watch that bar indicating download as it does not move one bit. It seems some other people had this same problem, as I've found out on the internet. 3G works fine though. I had to download my games from the Play Store using 3G, which is a pain in the ass.
A few points to consider:
- I have only so far used one wi-fi point, which worked with all my previous Xperia Plays. Maybe if I try a different hot-spot, the problem will magically disappear?
- I do not want to root, unlock bootloader or do any such things with my XP.
- I do NOT want to reset my phone to factory settings, I would lose lots of savegame data.
- I HAVE tried several times clearing the cache of the Google Store app, Download Manager app and resetting the Google Talk app. Did not help.
- Downloading from any other source (Gameloft for example) works via wi-fi, it's just that stupid Google Play Store that does not.
- Some people say the problem should sort itself out after a few days...It's been two weeks and I still can't download via wi-fi from the Store.
Could any kind soul suggest a solution that does not involve resetting my phone, or rooting? Thanks for any advice.

Did u try clearing the data...not the cache but the data

Yes, did not help.
Besides, that just erases your user data right? Your log-in and password.
I will try it again just to be sure, but I think I did it too.

i too had same prob. but it got solved after 3 or 4 days... may be i was lucky.

Used to have this problem. Uninstall update ( this will get you back to old market) then let it update again. That's what I did.

...doesn't work for me, nor does anything else mentioned before Tried installing 3.8.15 via .apk and back to stock, clearing cache, data etc. Play Store works with UMTS/EDGE but not as good as before (takes a while before download actually starts, that behavior is new). With WiFi I don't get an error message but the download simply doesn't start. Everything else I do via WiFi works great (FTP-syncing calendar data stored on my NAS, browsing the web, file transfer via ES-FileExplorer and so on).
I use a Galaxy S3 with Siyah Kernel (1.5rc1), XXBLG8 Stock Firmware and XXLH1 modem. Same Market issue before the update (Siyah 1.4, Stock XXALE8, stock modem (May 2012)). So maybe it is not at all model related, but something with the market itself... Strangely I found just a few posts about this - here I have the most hope for help

Well, I am stumped man, dont know what to tell you. I am out of ideas. You may have already mentioned this but have you tried reflashing a ROM? Other then that at this point I am stumped...... hoping you can find a fix because that sucks....

Uninstall play store update, clear everything, reboot and try. That's what I did.
Edit: go to settings> accounts & sync > and check if you have background data checked.

First: I know I am in the wrong model section, as I use a Galaxy S3 but post under Sony Xperia... Sorry for that - it was just a topic that seemed Google Play Store related rather than dependant on a specific model.
Second: I tried all of this (although I don't have such a section under settings/accounts on my phone) and more. I just flashed the latest stock firmware again*, did a full wipe, used TriangleAway! and every single thing I can think of. I even went to my google-account to see if there's something wrong, but no.
Still: UMTS works, WiFi doesn't. WiFi otherwise perfectly working with all kinds of uses. Tried all tips and hints, nothing works. Problem started a few days ago with older fw/ROM, which I didn't touch for weeks and worked fine until then. I really don't have a clue what changed!
EDIT: I also checked, if my ISP or my WLAN settings (router) are off - nada. I tried to install/update an app on another Android device in my household: this one works perfectly with WiFi. So it must be the Store itself...
UPDATE: Still no real solution! In the meantime it worked for a few days without my doing and in the same way it stopped working again today. I guess the Google server software is bugged. I placed a support request at Google-Support. This was an experience I can't make public enough:
Even though I initially told them what I tried they just did a copy&paste of their own F.A.Q. This went on for four days, the didn't even read my information. And I was quite thorough. I even made a network capture file, prefiltered it with Wireshark and attached it to the e-mail. As proof that my firewall isnt't blocking the traffic. No reaction to that, no technician was asked or involved, nothing. They simply closed the ticket and left me standing there. I'm still pretty pi...ed. This kind of "support" I don't want at all. Just a waste of time. I sincerely hope for a Google PlayStore replacement so one is not practically forced to use it. I'd volunteer to pay 1$ more for each buy just to circumvent that kind of nonsense Google is playing here.

This is me again. My problem is back, I can't download via WiFi from Google play store on both my Xperia play and Nexus 7. What is strange though is that SOME apps will download while others will not. It seems that apps I paid for some amount /like GTA 3, Max Payne, Reckless Racing/ and that were never completely free, WILL download. Others that I got for free /e.g. Call of Mini Zombies, Juggernaut, Heroes Call and many others/ will not download. This seems peculiar to me. Did anyone have this kind of behaviour on your android device?

Now, it's me. I'm getting fed up. I had to clean data, clean cache of playstore and then got to clean the data and cache of download manager.

new Sprint Galaxy Nexus..Chrome update fails?

So I just picked up a sprint galaxy nexus and so far I like it...Kinda wondering why i keep getting a notification that chrome has a update but it fails to install. I have tried clearing the data for the market and chrome app. I have even did a ODIN restor back to stock to try to backup my google wallet so I could use it even tho I was rooted. (unsucessful). Anyone have anyone else seen this?

Have you changed your display density?

No I have not changed the density. And it won't let me uninstall it came preinstalled. Force stop and disable are the only options available for it

Anyone have any other ideas? I had this issue by the time I got home with the phone before I even had a chance to mess with it lol. I left and it started the JB update after that some apps updated but chrome failed. I played around a bit and ignored it..But then after doing rooting and unlocked boot loader it tried doing the update again and failed. Then I was messing around with google wallet and relized I needed to setup pre-root and odin'd back to stock and again after that the chrome update failed...still not sure which browser going to use as primary but it seems very weird. other than Root/boot loader and nova launcher I have not done anything to the phone.

why do you keep using odin?
use fastboot, it's the officially supported tool, even Google uses and has tutorials on it.
if you have CWM installed, then the official update will NOT work when started from android os.
that said, if you have root access, you can just remount /system to rw and uninstall/delete chrome apk from /system/app.

I did try fastboot's restore the first time but it just went to the dead (or whatever) android guy so I looked on the forums and saw a thread with a sticky about removing root/going back to stock so just did that and it showed odin. Thanks for the suggestion I will give it a try later when I have a few spare mins to play.

[Q] Google Play Store starts crashing while downloading

Yesterday, Google Play Store was working flawlessly.
Now, it opens, lists the apps updates and when I try to download, it crashes.
I'm with AOKP jb 4 in the Samsung Galaxy Nexus I9250.
The version of gapps installed with the ROM was 20120726.
Some sites (like goo.im) released 20121011. It does not work either.
I'm flashing gapps and wiping the cache/dalvik each time.

Did you try to wipe market app data and reboot?

Yes. And the problem continues.
If I uninstall the updates, the problem continues.
What can I do now? Am I alone with this?

Force close it and then clear data... when it's done then Download from internet the latest Play Store and install it by replacing the old one..

How? Where do I download the .apk file? Sorry for the silly question...

I've downloaded from here -http://www.theandroidsoul.com/download-google-play-apk-3-9-16/
And installed. The app opens and when I try to download it crashes...
Strange that it worked until yesterday...

The strange part: if I login in my PC I can load the Google Play Store and from "My apps" I am able to install new apps and also update the old ones...
What's going on? ???

Know what?
Today it simple disappeared and the apps updated regularly.
Seems that, yesterday, something went wrong in the communication with the Google Play and not in my phone.
I promise: I did nothing to solve (I'm sure I've restored a nandroid of few hours before it starts to happen).

can't install apps

I have been having an issue all day after installing a new rom where after an app downloads from the play store I get an "Unkown error code during application install -24" and the app fails to install. This in persistent through different roms, ones that worked before, and different gapps packages. And yes, I did try the suggested solution here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1992241 but it still doesn't work. My phone is basically just a phone now. Is there any way to fix this at all? This happens with every app I try to install, 100% of the time. Even apps I have never before installed on my phone.

Anybody? I went as far as formatting my device and restoring it to stock and I still can't install any apps!

Hmmm...problem is still ongoing and you are 100% on a stock, Google factory image?
Sent from my Xoom using xda app-developers app

Yes stock google image. Every app follows the same pattern, the first time it says the package file is invalid and every consecutive time I get the unknown error -24. I have tried everything I can think of and nothing works. My phone is just a phone now! haha

I'm baffled. And if you tried the method in the thread you mentioned and it still does not work, then I would suggest contacting Google for tech support. They should have an answer for you.

You need to clean data and cache of google play app, and then force close. After that, run the app and it must let you download apps.

No. I have done that MANY times. That does not work.

If that happens in every Rom and every gapps..... the problem is in your account, so contact with Google....
