Hi,
since I've rooted my phone and went for DeFrost/OpenDesire I'm unable to download any apps from the market. I've set the installation source to internal memory. I've tried to re-install the ROM, cleaning, wiping data/cache and basically everything around that. I'm even unable to download Apps with the original 2.2 unrooted STOCK rom now.
Any ideas?
What I did so far:
- Wiping the phone
- Formating the SD card
- Basically everything to default
- Installed FroYo 2.2.1 Pre-Rooted
And still I cant download apps from the market.
Please I am begging for ideas
try clearing market's data in "application" section of "settings"
does your problem include free apps? or paid only?
Hi,
did that.
Applies for paid and free apps
Apps Install Problem
Hi,
I've got kinda the same problem.
Got root phone with custom ROM (Neophyte) and download apps form market is fine but after they don't install and I still have the installing process running but nothings happens.
I've try to change ROM but in Cyamogen I don't even see the Android Market.
I have partitioned the SD card with Rom Manager to get APP2SD but I d'ont know if this is working. How to check?
Someone can help? Which ROM should I use to test if the market is Ok?
Can I put a HTC rom into my rooted phone?
I do have the feeling that my phone is not allowed to place the files somewhere it would need to. Does anyone know where files from the market are being placed when the download starts?
Update:
I found a solution. I need to disable the SD card and them I'm able to download files again. So I guess its some kind of app2sd problem?
And with defrost its not working anylonger.
GOD DAMNIT. This is driving me crazy
So even with a ext3 partition I'm unable to download these Apps. I've tried repair mode from ROM manager and he successful fixed everything - without a result.
If anyone has an idea please tell me. I'm unable to use my phone this way and I don't have any idea at this point. I just revoked everything going back to an unrooted HTC Desire EU 2.2 rom.
Its still not working. I dont get this.
SD card was formated, Phone was wiped - its in the same state as yesterday before I rooted it. So how the heck is it not working anymore?! Cant be its kinda hardware bricked or something ... ffs
PLEASE
I have the same problem. After creating the partion in rom manager I am unable to DOWNLOAD apps for the market but I can still install apk's from the memory card.
SOLUTION!!!
The solution is quite simple actually. Tried it on HTC Tattoo
Go to Settings>Applications>Managae Applications>Market and uninstall all the updates for Market and clear cache. Try Downloading Apps from Market.
Cheers!

Unable to download Apps on Market after I unlocked my Tmobile Vibrant
I'm also having the same problem after I unlocked my Tmobile vibrant.
If i reset my phone and go to apps market, Im able to download fine, but after closing apps market and opening it again and try downloading any apps, nothing happens. It says its "starting download" but nothing happens. It seems to be stuck at that "starting download" process. But if I reset my phone and go back to the Apps market and try downloading apps and everything will work temporary.
I tried going into settings---->applications----> manage applications----> clear cache---->reboot
Also tried going to Download Manager-Clear Data----Reboot
Also tried uninstalling updates for Apps Market.
Nothing helps.
Please help if you find a way to fix this problem.

I hope someone can help.. I have been having issues downloading 2 updates from the market on my evo4g.. COPILOT LIVE and ANGRY BIRDS.. I tried all suggestions already and nothing has worked... IN CAT LOG it shows this error:
DOWNLOADINGASSETVIEWUPDATER.UPDATEVIEW() ASSET COM.ALK.COPILLOT.MRKET.USA IS IN DOWNLOAD STATE BUT DOWNLOAD FAILED
I also see COULDNT FIND PATHNAME FOR COMPLETED DOWNLOAD URI: CONTENT://DOWNLOADS.DOWNLOAD/687 -- Assuming the download failed
how do I resolve this? other updates and programs work just fine... any help would be appreciated...
Try unmounting your SD card before trying to download the apps.
Settings->SD & Phone Storage
If that works and you want the apps on your SD card, you can move them from Settings->Applications

Tried that and it didnt solve the issue.. I am under the belief that this is an ANDROID MARKET THING and NOT something with my phone..
any other ideas??
Nothing than the ordinary clearing cache/data from market and trying again.

OK I'm still under the assumption that this is a MARKET ISSUE and NOT my phone... I have a support request into android market but no response yet...
Ive tried everything and these are the ONLY 2 apps that dont download anymore..
Someone else was having a problem downloading those two same apps. Theres a thread for it, might have an answer there. It was a day or two ago.
Well, here is what I found out.. IF I uninstall the market update so that I am at the stock market that comes with 2.2 I can download the updates for COPILOT and ANGRY BIRDS.. BUT as soon as the market is updated to the latest version, I cant anymore. why would this happen? I have a support ticket into google to find out why. I tested this by uninstalling the market update and then I was able to download copilot update.. then the market was updated again and I tried ANGRY BIRDS.. NO GO.. SAME ISSUE.. UNINSTALLED the market update again and then was able to download angry birds...
anyone???
OK some updates on my issue..
Some APPS install and some do NOT. I dont know why.. I can uninstall an APP that wont update and the do a regular install of THAT app and it works. I just did that with FLASH 10.2. it would not update with "update unsuccessful" . BUT I uninstalled it the 10.1 version and then downloaded the 10.2 version from market and all installed. I then downloaded move2sd enabler which downloaded fine.. If I switch it on install all apps to SD card (external), they start to install and some give the unsuccessful message and SOME reboot the phone. If I switch it to INTERNAL, NOTHING installs and right away I get an UNSUCCESSFUL message.. if I put it on AUTO, some install land some do not. Any ideas??
Thanks.. I would think GOOGLE would have posted a fix somewhere since I see my issue all over the ANDROID MARKET FORUM and various other forums...
By an chance are you on CM7?

no. the latest SPRINT LOVERS SENSE ROM...
why? is there an issue like this on CM7
I was going to say...well you can still do it. You can try reflashing the rom, and the latest gapps for froyo.
OK.. NOW I am getting can not install in /data/app .. I see this in CATLOG
what does this mean? I even tried to SIDE LOAD an APP but putting the APK on my SD card and it wont install
i was having that same problem with a rom i was using, turned out the rom didnt support adobe flash for some reason. maybe it is the rom.
same issue download/install unsuccessful
Most apps download and install fine
But some return the unsuccessful error
At first it seemed to be only updates but now it's new apps as well
I have sinister rom
Market is still as it was, no Google Play
I've tried every fix mentioned here and nothing works
Facebook can't update
Flickr cant install
Market cant update
etc.
Do you know if this is Google's issue or if it's my Evo?
Getting a reply from Google that even remotely relevant seems impossible
Did you try removing .android_secure

i had the same problem before. i simply restarted my phone and it worked!
Hey,
I've switched recently from Oxygen 2.01 to CM7 RC2. I did a full wipe (factory reset/cache). Then I installed the Google Apps and had the problem that I couldn't download from the Google Market. I reflashed the Google Apps (gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip) and now I could download from market and had apps like Google Maps.
My problem now is: I can't use Google Mail. The Market says that it is already installed on my device but it's not displayed anywhere on the phone. Neither can I choose it with the ADW launcher nor can I see the app in the settings menu of Android. I already cleared my cache again and reflashed a third time the Google Apps.
Can anyone help me with this problem? Or does someone know how I get to the screen where I can choose which Apps from the Google Apps packet I'd like to install ?
reflash is your best bet
If the market is saying its installed, can you uninstall via the market. Then install it again.

Can't uninstall via Market. I will try to reflash CM7.
Ok! For installation of the CM7, I normally do is wipe, install CM7, boot for the first time, don't install gapps just yet. Enter settings and enable your wifi connection. Now boot to recovery then flash the lastest gapps zip, reboot the phone and should have the apps and screen to choose which apps to install from the market. Well! It happens for the first time you use the market app of course.
That how I do things, hope it will help your situation somehow.
Now I've got Gmail installed. But I had to download the .apk file. Couldn't install it through the market.
Thread can be closed. Thanks to everyone.
Just to let you know, the gapps zip file doesn't include any market apps. It only includes the Market (vending.apk) and the Google Account Sync setup. Everything that is Google you need to get from the market.
You could of tried to have used the web market as well to install it. But seems like you didn't fully wipe it or something messed up.
I fully wiped my device twice. Market said that it was already installed but it wasn't.
Hi ekwinoks
I had promblems with the google mail installation. I found out that the Google-Mail app is not available on the german market. So i used the Market unlocker app to download the mail app.

Hi. I just installed unofficial CM9 on my Wildfire Buzz and to update hangouts, I required Google Play Services. I installed it from the market but it seems to be Crashing every few seconds with the prompt "Unfortunately, Google Play Services has stopped"... This has been getting real annoying. I nearly tried everything, Wiping its and play store's cache, data, rebooting to recovery, wiping cache and dalvik cache, factory resetting and even just re-installing Google Play services.Nothing seems to work. Do I need to convert Play services to a system app or something? I'm confused. Someone help?

On the cm9 thread there should be a package called GApps (short for Google apps) did you flash the correct version for ICS?
Sent from my HTC Desire S using Tapatalk
Seems odd.
Yes, I did. I also noticed that the play services framework IS there in system/app but it installed the update as an absolutely different app. Why do I say so? Here -
1.When I installed it from the play store, It said installing not updating
2.It can be moved to the sdcard with ds app2sd without ds system app remover.

This error mainly occurs when I load the play store or hangouts. Should I try to backup the install app to an apk and replace the one in the system folder?
EDIT! : Google Play Services has gone missing from /system/app after reboot! Even play store has automatically downgraded itself and Gives "server error" when I try to open it. Re-installing ROM with different slim-gapps package rather than full gapps (Saves me 40MB space!---- Lulz.xD)
Whaa?

Okay, I reinstalled gapps and the rom and I still have the same issue. It pops up ever 7-10 seconds in Play music. Any help? Had this issue on another port of cm9 too! Is this an ics bug?

I really don't think he Rom thread had anything useful. It is not listed in the bugs section. I followed all the instructions again and didn't get anywhere except 2 more errors - com.google.process.gapps has stopped and Play store has stopped. Trying to get the logcat now. The error only appears when I connect to the internet. Shall I turn off sync? Can it be related? If it doesn't work, I would probably have to change my rom. >.<
I'm using this rom with the Full Gapps included on the thread. Still Google Play services has stopped. :/

Edit: Google Play services has started to receive the 2nd update today. Let's see what happens! Will start logcat once play services is up and running to capture the first force close.

Hmmm. A few more questions
Have you moved any Google play related apps to your sdcard?
Does your sdcard have an ext partition?
Is the date and time on your phone correct?
Can other apps connect to the internet without issue?
Is your home internet connection stable? ie any chance the gapps package you downloaded has became corrupted?
Had you tried any other ROMs?

Have you moved any Google play related apps to your sdcard? - No. I had earlier. Right now, all on internal storage.
Does your sdcard have an ext partition? - No
Is the date and time on your phone correct? - Yes. It is usually on automatic.
Can other apps connect to the internet without issue? - Yes. Browser and Talk can connect. Hangouts after update does connect but keeps crashing
Is your home internet connection stable? ie any chance the gapps package you downloaded has became corrupted? - Internet is on all the time and is supported by a backup power source so it never shuts. I re-downloaded it anyways and same issue. I have used other cm9 ics roms, same issue.
Btw, it just finished updating, No issues yet. (Been 30 mins! Woah!Still connected to wifi)

That's great news have you tried it on data and not on WiFi? It might have been your internet connection
Also as a rule of thumb you should be careful what apps you move to your sdcard as lots can have issues and some cannot run all the time (which is required for apps like SD maid)
If your getting really low on space try looking at using an ext3 partition on your sdcard and app2sd type set-ups

Thanks! But, won't moving to the sdcard and moving to an ext3 partition give the same results? I found why I was having the error. I think it was because my device was always downloading a real old version of play services. Anyways, I am trying a different rom now. Let's see if this one has the issue too or is it fixed by google. Any suggestions to some fast 4.0.4 roms? I tried Cm9 unofficial. Searching for more. Currently trying elementary ux.
