i cant download anything in the android market anymore and i dont know why

i recently noticed when i try to download any app from the android market or update an app it will act like its starting the download but then never actually start it. im running the latest cyanogen rom. i have tried wiping and reflashing the latest cyanogen rom and reflashing the google apps addon. i have tried restoring to a previous backup when the apps were working in the market. i have tried flashing a non cyanogen rom even. nothing i can think of (my thoughts are limited since im fairly new at all this) and still no success. i had the same problem on my g1 with cyanogen and i somehow managed to get that working again by trying similar things but no luck yet with my nexus one and its really upsetting me. any ideas on how i can go about fixing this? thanks for all your help

May sound stupid (and yes, it is) but try launching google talk. Often bby logging in to talk, market downnloads kick off. Seems to be google account related.

try going into settings, applications, market, and uninstall updates, then open the market again

OK I tried the uninstall updates idea and no luck there. Opening Google talk also didn't solve the problem. Any other ideas guys? Thanks

I wonder if you ever found a solution to this?

Well for me, I have to open GTalk and close it and reopen and close and reopen...it eventually works when it fully loads... Oddly, it seems to only happen on wifi. I'm pretty sure it's a GTalk issue.
Hopefully the new market system will make a difference...I really hope

How's the amount of space on your phone? Do you see the little hard drive icon? I know that the Market always starts to download stuff but never actually downloads anything when my phone space its low.
Hope this helps!

Amazon Apps Problem

I downloaded WeatherBug Elite when it was free and it will work for 1 or 2 times and then give me the error:
"unknown error. Please download the app again"

Is anybody else experiencing this problem?

Have you done what it says? I had that popup after uninstalling weatherbug free. I reinstalled and have no issues.

Unfortunately I have done it multiple times and continue to have the issue.

Read the reviews. Everyone said it sucks. Granted most of those people dont know how to operate a phone. I installed ran fine, just drained my battery in like 2 hours, with the status bar temp thing, so its gone now.

That's why I don't allow programs to run in the background and give me "updates". If I want to see the weather I'll pull up the program.

I pulled a noob and just created my own thread about the same problem... oops!
I've been having the same problem, it also happens with Shazaam. I have to delete and reinstall both every time I reboot the phone.

Talk about pulling a noob, I responded to your post not realizing you asked for it to be deleted! Here was my response to your post:
I also have this issue with both WeatherBug Elite and Shazam Encore. I actually uninstalled Shazam (at the time I noticed it) because I installed SoundHound Infinity.
However, I just manually rebooted my phone and, yes, my WeatherBug Elite came back with the error (after re-installing and setting it up).
I tested my other Amazon apps (Airport Mania: First Flight, Angry Birds Rio, Angry Birds Seasons, Diner Dash 2, Doodle Jump, Flight Control, Fruit Ninja, SoundHound Infinity, and Talking Tom Cat) and it's only the WeatherBug Elite and Shazam Encore.
Something is going on with the rebooting for just those two apps. I can't believe it's an Amazon specific thing.
I'm running a Droid X with Liberty 1.5 ROM.

Hmm rebooted and got the same issue... interesting. Ill try deleting app data and using TiBackup the next time after that.
In Amazon app store you can send issues to the developers.. i sent them this issue. Hopefully more users do the same and we get an update.

What was weird is that it alerted in the taskbar just fine.

Doing a little research with a few people here (with Droid X's) is that it only happens on my phone.
The difference between mine and the others is that I'm running a custom ROM (Liberty 1.5).
It works fine for my Droid X friends that 1) is stock and 2) rooted, but stock ROM.
So, for me, it looks like there is something with the app and the fact that I'm running a custom ROM.

I too experienced fc on weather bug and shazam on Phoenix Ultimate and current rom Unleashed. May be it's an issue with the app itself. Other than those 2 apps, all works without any issues.

I think it's an app problem... All my other free paid apps work fine.
I just deleted it and got the weather channel....

I was having an issue where Weatherbug Elite would say I had to enable one of the location services (GPS or Network location) even though I leave network locating on. I tried clearing the app cache by going to menu>settings>applications>manage applications, hit the ALL tab at the top, go down to Weatherbug Elite and hit Clear Data. This cleared up my problem. Maybe it'll help yours.

I have the same problem. Everything else works fine but this thing is the Devil. I cannot get it to work on my EVO. I have tried everything. I mean everything and now I'm more confused then an Amish Electrician.

Touchscreen occasionally unresponsive. :(

Hey guys.
I've had this issue with YouTube being unresponsive in portrait mode after going to the main menu after I've watched a video. Hasn't bothered me because I'd just go to landscape to choose the video I wanted.
Today its now gotten worse. After a random xda force close, the shortcut on the homescreen isn't working. Every other shortcut works without issue though. Deleted and re-added the shortcut isn't working. Neither is an uninstall/reinstall. Its also spread to a few other apps.
Anyone encountered this before?
Just a few details:
Overcome 1.4.3 - Hevent upgraded yet, might later to see if the issue continues.
OC 1.4ghz
Nothing strange has happened prior to these random issues (no drops, rom flashes etc)

The new xda app did the same to me after it updated itself, so I went to titanium, deleted the new version, then reinstalled the old from backup. No issues since.
Youtube has always had a mind of it's own, whether it's changing orientation, or even playing. Patience is all I can suggest there.

I had a similar problem (somewhat sporadic) and after the overcome 1.6 I don't notice it any more. although it's early days

I'm having similar issues with the keyboard - regardless of the type - stock or purchased - they lag or do not rwspond and all randomly

Clear the youtube data (wipe it from applications). Always helps me with youtube quirkiness.

Thanks for the replies guys. Reinstalled an old version and all is fine. Now its spread to GO SMS and Twidroyd though. *sigh*

Have you tried going down to 1.2ghz instead of 1.4? The FC's could be happening when it peaks 1.4ghz and doesn't like it. *shrug*
Only thing similar I've experienced is sometimes the capacitive buttons don't respond, but it's totally random and usually gets fixed if I hit any other button (even one of the other capacitives)

Amiga, is there any chance all your cavorting with gingerbread is a cause?

Its not force closing, it doesn't respond when its in portrait, if I switch to landscape everything is fine.. Really struggling to figure this out. And I've tried going back to stock (dissabling setcpu) and it still happens.
@ranger Who's that reply to?

You. I read a thread where you slugged it out with an attempt to install GB or HC. Or was I sleep tabbing?

I think the 'Amiga's but threw me off. I tried to install Honeycomb (and eventually did)
YouTube was being strange before that, and its only recently that its spread to other apps.

Cut the rope installer not working

Has anyone else tried installing this game from GetJar?
http://bit.ly/jGI6uo
The above link prompts you to download the downloadhelper.apk which installs the GetJar app. When trying to open this though, the phone returns to the home screen briefly before going to a black screen and just hanging. Eventually I get a force close option pop-up but it's generally pointless.
I'm running MoDaCo Fr19 beta2 if it matters but anyone else tried it on this device?

Download helper? Screw that, I direct-downloaded cuttherope.apk from GetJar.

Had this problem a few times this morning, using Opera. After 2 or 3 downloads and clearing application data, the "GetJar" app on the phone launched the GetJar mobile site, and everything went ok.

ok so I finally fixed this. I never tried to install the new market iut was just a coincidence that it happened at this time. What I had to do to fix it was disable voodoo lagfix. I have no idea why that would be making the market close like that but after disabling and letting my tab convert back the market works again. I havent re-converted it but I will be doing that after work today, hopefully the issue doesnt come back.
