For some reason my Nexus One running FRF85B is unable to install or uninstall any apk's. It just hangs at the installing... or uninstalling... respectively. Has anyone else ever seen that?
Installing has always been really darn quick. Now it just appears to be hanging.
EDIT: Adding new symptom: "Manage Applications" shows the apps installed , but their space is forever listed as "Computing...". It's like the manage applications service is just hosed.

I have seen that as well. I would have to exit (back or home) then when I got back to the applications screen again it wouldn't have to load at all.
Same here, AT&T Nexus One using FRF85B.
The weird thing is, the app(s) actually DO uninstall or install correctly, just that the Market page shows it's not, and hangs at it.
When I force stop the market, then relaunch and check my downloads, they're now reset to the correct info.
Well I'm glad it is not just me. Thinking it was a bad ROM I reinstalled (with complete wipe) Modaco's ROM, then stock Froyo, etc.
Problem went away when I just said screw it and installed CM 5.0.8.
The only problem that persists now is the server error going to the downloads tab of the market. I can't seem to lick that one even though apps download and install fine from the market.
On a side note CM5.0.8 still is snappier than Froyo. I'm salivating at the thought of CM6.
If anyone is also getting persistent errors with the market downloads tab, please chime in. I find it suspicious that I'm having this problem regardless of which ROM is installed.

No matter what I do I still get the server error in the Android Market application when I go to the downloads tab.
I've re-flashed the Froyo Radio and tried both CM 5.0.8 and Froyo.
I don't see others complaining about this so I have to imagine there's something wrong on my end. I just don't know how to diagnose it. Does anyone have any ideas? At All?

I did see that in the CM 5.0.8 ROM, but Froyo is a complete no-go. I've reflashed the radio, and have been using Modaco's ROM because it is the only one I know of that is just a rooted update I can flash with Amon-RA's recovery, but still no luck.
This is scary.
UPDATE
I went all the way back to Stock, Unrooted 2.1 from January, and still get the server error in the downloads page of the Market app. So for giggles, I wiped, created a new gmail account, and lo and behold, everything works. I could download apps, and they showed up in the download tab as installed.
That pretty much puts an end to thinking it's an app/ROM/radio problem, I think.
I then wiped again, went through initial setup with my primary Google account and I'm back to server errors on the downloads tab.
I guess maybe it really IS a server error. Don't know what I can do about it, except gripe...but at least I can stop scratching my head over what ROM/Radio is installed.
After several days of experimenting, the fact is that on any Froyo rom, whether it's stock or rooted, google's or cyanogen's, wiped or not wiped, new gmail account or existing gmail account, what I'm seeing is that, even if I wipe, go into Android and DO NOT enter a google account, going straight to settings | Manage Applications | running applications, shows "Computing..." forever.
Now, if I do a full wipe, it doesn't know anything about my account, right? And the cache, and all that are all wiped. So, what could possibly cause the infinite "Computing..." in the apps?
Does anyone know?
It happened to me as well last night. I was installing an apk (updating over an older version), and it showed "Installing...." forever. No hardware button gave me any response and I eventually had to reboot the machine by pressing the 3 buttons (luckily this worked. I really hate the thought of pulling the battery out...). After the reboot I tried again and it installed without a problem.
I m on a stock Nexus One FRF91, never hv an issue b4 that latest system update. Looks like it is bringing more issues to me...
what 3 buttons reboot the phone?
The same thing is happening to me. When trying to install any market app, it just hangs at "installing. I have to reboot the phone to get it to stop doing it.
Every once in a while, about 1 out of 15 times, I can get an app to install correctly and quickly, but all the other times it hangs.
It started happening when going to froyo. I have tried several different froyo mods and the same thing happens on all of them. When I nandroid back to 2.1 it is fine.
It happens to me with the Rodriguezstyle mod, the Kang-O_rama mod and the evil n-one shot Noir mod.
In order to fix this issue. You MUST do the following steps:
1. Wipe the SD card.
2. Wipe ext partition (if there)
3. Delete spareparts if you have it ANYWHERE on the system
4. Reboot the system into recovery
5. Wipe all cache's
Tada! Fixed!
This fixed it for me on Kang-O-Rama.
I belive the problem is when moving ROMs and the new app2SD feature stores files on the SD. When moving ROM's, it try's to scan them but fails. Something is stuck in a loop and wont stop .
When taking out the SD card, it ALL works flawlessly (give it a go if you need to install some apps to help)

Press the trackball, volume down and the power button all at the same time.
If you have root then the app quick boot is a one click solution.
When I was or do have a stalling at the install. I clear the market data and this works for me. I also try to keep the cache clear.
I'm using CM6 RC2 and despite some issues with 3G (or lack of) and 2G connectivity it has been running ok for the most part. However, I wanted to try another FroYo ROM out to see if any offer me better 3G performance. I have a ROM backup already but in case another ROM gives better performance I installed, or tried to install, MyBackup Pro from the Market. I paid for it ages ago so there's no issue with payment or an illegal program being broken. Unfortunately something went wrong during the download possibly related to the lack of 3G connectivity I've been experiencing.
Basically the download is stuck at the downloading state but it never downloads, fails to download, or installs leaving it in an eternal "downloading" state. If I tap the program name then try to cancel the download I get a force close with process.com.android.vending and soon after the Market reloads with the MyBackup Pro download still listed as downloading.
Things I've tried to rectify it so far...
ADB to remove the Vending.apk file then pushing the same program from the CM6 ROM.
Reflash the latest Google Apps package supplied with CM6.
Wipe dalvik cache and cache.
Reflash CM6 RC2 and then the latest Google Apps.
Nothing has worked so far. Possibly related I get a crash if I try to view the "Battery Status" under "About Phone" but that's only started the past few days. If anyone has any thoughts on how to fix it aside from doing a factory wipe and reinstalling I'd love to see them. If I have to wipe and reflash then I would want to backup and that leads me to being stuck without knowing another decent backup program.
dear developers,
I am eager to try the new 2.2.7 market apps. I tried to upgrade via applanet, but fail to instal, I tried update.zip and after I flashed it, the market apps is not there too. I tried numbers of APK but none were able to be installed!
I've tried uninstalling my market apps and market updater and it still won't install. So now I'm stuck without any market in my phone.
Any help? or a 100% GUIDE to install the new market?
thanks before
I had the same issue. I had even backed up the old market before I removed it but it didn't seem to work. The easiest fix in my opinion is this: Install titanium backup, backup everything you wanna save, wipe, reflash rom, flash gapps with old market, reboot, sign in, open market, accept terms, reboot into recovery, flash gapps with new market, reboot, optionally restore anything you want to restore via titanium backup. I'm not sure what changes in 2.2.7, but 2.2.6 is lovely, I love the new UI. I had force closes if I tried to install that market before installing the old version and rebooting/accepting license terms as I stated above, but this method took care of all the force closes. Also, you might find this interesting if you haven't already seen it yourself. Applanet forums stated that they intend to model applanet after the new market as well.
Also, just as a heads up, you're not likely to get a lot of support here for anything that could potentially be related to applanet because of the nature of the program.
The new market keep force closing...can't even get it to open. I tried clearing data and cache and that didn't help. Uninstalled updates and downloaded an early version of the market and that one tries to open but FC's too. Running Miui 1.8.5. Any ideas on how to fix this. Annoying.
Did you ever get this going? I am having the same issue, tried all I can think of.
I had this problem too one one nook (have access to 2, both on miui). Only solution so far was rolling back using titanium and the renaming market updater with .bak to disable it. If i didn't market would update and fc again.
Strange thing is - the other nook is still fine and is on same market release as the other was when it was force closing.
Hoping for a better solution.
I dont like the new market, its design sucks and it lags terribly..
The solution is easy. Use Titanium Backup to remove the otherwise impossible to remove Market Updater application.
Then go into your System > Applications menu and choose to uninstall updates for Market.
This way you can use the old, properly working market, without worrying bout the OS to redownload the new one.
I hope I was able to help you.

I am having the same problem on the newest miui build that is available. Is anyone stil updating miui?
In CM 10.1, after some reflashes with Cyanogen nightlies, google apps stopped working. By that I mean that whenever I try to install or update an APP, the app is stuck at downloading.
I did all the steps that I read on the internet like killing google play, google play services and google framework and clearing the data and cache and rebooting the phone....nothing.
And after I "force stop" theses services, error 495 is displayed.
Apart from me being annoyed with what I can get my hands on apks through the internet and installing them from adb, my phone is pretty isolated now.
Any ideas? Any workarounds. If Google play is so buggy, I might aswell just switch to another app store alltogether.
Also, If I reflash the stock rom 4.0.3(Yes I want to install the stock ICS because I think that it has no screen dimming when the phone is being used, right?), will this problem go away?, This would be helpful if somebody else has already tried this.
