Not directly development related, but I'm wondering if this is a side effect of rooting:
I took my rooted Colornook to a brick and mortar B&N store today. I connected to the wifi, but didn't receive the notice about using the in-store network, and was unable to connect to the in-store network (browse books for up to an hour, etc.). I set my default home from LauncherPro back to the Nook Home and powercycled, but I was still unable to connect.
Has anyone successfully used the "in store network" on their ColorNook, rooted or otherwise?
My NOOKColor isn't rooted and I have used the in-store network including the special "B&N Home" while in their store. I have also browsed books in store for free.

Um, so that doesn't help us. We know non-rooted NC's can access the B&N Home while in store.

I had trouble using the in-store WiFi a few days ago, but didn't give it much thought. I guess it is possible that this is a side-effect of rooting.
Well, I'm in a b&n right now. My nootered nook does NOT have access to any of the in-store features.
DuncanWatson - do you get any kind of pop-up or alert when you connect to the in-store features? when you connect to the wifi?
For clarity - when I use my rooted color nook in store, it automatically connects to the wifi with no notifications, but I do not have any access to "in store" features.
I'm curious to hear more people's experiences...
It's probably a smart move on their part. We could just get all the books for free then as they probably are copied to the nook temporarily.

That's encouraging in a backwards sort of way... Maybe it's a general issue and not something specific to rooted devices. I wonder how they'd be checking anyhow...
My rooted nook was able to access the "In Store" section. The icon on the BN dock changed and everything. I even tried out the free 1 hour read preview and downloaded some books that were only free to in store users
I can clarify a bit. I work for b&n, & spend a significant portion of my time at the nook desk. When my nc could not access the in-store features, all of our demo nc units were finding it just fine, as was my non-rooted original nook. This definately started happening when I rooted.

I wonder what in the rooting process would cause this to happen ? All rooting is doing is clearing security on specific files/folders for the most part, correct ?
Maybe it has something to do with specific apps that may have been installed (like a different launcher) ?
Don't have the device, don't even live in the same continent.
Could someone compare the changes you make when rooting? I am pretty sure you'll be changing a file when you run your root tool. Perhaps there's a log you can monitor, or something that shows what it did. Failing that, you might need to get a logcat of the device failing to get onto the store connection.
That might indicate if it's detected the device is rooted. There are ways round all these kinds of restrictions, so if something is looking to see if a folder is chmod 700 (ie, not readable to the user), we could easily change that to check it's at 766 (read and writable to all), for example.
That would seem the best way to figure out why you're not getting access to the store content. If someone can get alogcat onto the device, and take a log from in store, you might get somewhere in starting to look?
I went to a store today specifically to check this and sure enough I accessed the network just fine but no in store access. Just regular wifi. I have a third party launcher installed but I tried using the nook launcher and even tried a reboot.

Was in the Boston B&N store yesterday with my rooted nook. Absolutely no problem getting store resources working for net access and browsing and reading books.
As far as magazine subscriptions go, I have two free trials going right now, created after I was rooted, plus purchased another subscription.

Just where did you get this bit of information? I have update several times my paid protected apps (such as SanpPhoto Pro) over my wifi. Without a hitch. I believe a lot of people are just jumping to ridiculous conclusions, like Google is blocking paid apps to root users, or updates are blocked to root users, or you can't download over wifi, etc. I believe most of these issues are due to the heavy load being placed on the Market Servers during and after the large update that allowed for paid apps. Also something to think about is the fact that the two users in this thread with issues have a similar situation...
The OP bought these apps and then got a replacement phone, perhaps there is something that is keeping it from working on a second device (would make sense, all the paid cell phone apps I used in the past were tied to IMEI numbers).
The last person to post an issue stated they bought the app, then wiped and "rooted" their phone. However, they did not state if they were getting the "Download Unsuccessful" message, so it is not entirely clear if the issue is the same. This could be a similar situation, or it could be indicative of another method of identifying the original installation phone.
I think they may be very closely tied together because there are other things stored on the phone when an app is purchased. There is a zip file in the /data/app directory (which may need to be present for updates to take place, not sure) there is the app in /data/app-private (obviously), but there is also information stored in the /data/dalvik-cache (which may hold the key to these issues - just a guess), and there may be something else I am overlooking.
It is entirely possible that there is data stored on the phone when an app is purchased to help identify the hardware to the market place. I know purchases are supposed to be tied to your Google account, but do not know if the TOS of the Market allow for the use of purchased apps on more than one device. If they do not, there is probably some kind of protection involved.
Just some things to toss about in your heads, may not be anything to what I am saying... But... I could be onto something. Seeing how I am a JFRC33 "root" user, who downloads and update paid apps via my home wifi connection, without any issues. Yeah the first few days or week that paid apps went live there were some issues downloading the updates, but those were felt across the board, and do not exist anymore. Meaning they must have been general issues with the Market, not certain phones/software.

Make sure you have an SD Card in
The fix for this was bizarre and rather humorous.
I'd been using the SD out of my HTC hero to root my NC because I couldn't locate where I'd stored my older microSDs.
This of course meant I was promptly removing the card from the NC once done and resetting it back to usable fashion for my phone.
Each time I tried to install/run Google Books it would not load just like you.
Ran into another app Zedge that did same thing, and discovered it complaining about needing an sdcard inserted.
Sure enough, I put my SD back in and like a charm, Google Books and Zedge were both able to run.
Later I removed card from the NC and went back into Books. It still loaded, but gave me a popup about where to store files. I was then able to point it to store internal storage and been fine ever since.
Zedge however, WILL NOT work if there is not an external sd card inserted still.

thanks, would not have figured that out for my self.
How to even get the program?
I'm running into a different problem, which is that Google won't even let me *try* to install Google Books for Android. If I search from the marketplace there's no result, if I search from my PC it tells me the nook color isn't compatible, and if I search from the web on the nook the dowload button tells me the requested item could not be found.
(I know this is a gravedig, but the nice video said to post in a similar thread if possible, I hope I'm doing it right).
Edit: CM7 nightly (6/18) is my rooted software.
I have Google Books working just fine on my NC running the latest CM7 nightly.
I have a different question regarding Google Books... does anyone use this app as their primary ebook application? I like the idea of it syncing your last read page in their "cloud," so that I can easily pick up where I left off either on my NC, my Android phone or on their website. I'm not thrilled with either the NOOK app or the Amazon Kindle app and the Aldiko app is okay, just curious if anyone has made Google Books their primary ebook application.
Thanks.
I have no problem running Google Books. I do have a problem with the feature set. You can read books in landscape mode on an iPhone and IPad but not 2.X Android.
I decided to save a few $ since I found a google book $4 cheaper than an Amazon Kindle version. This was a mistake as it was not in epub format but was a scanned book (source 7 x 9 Paperback) in PDF format.
I noticed on the google site they do disclose that it is "Better for larger screens.". As I purchased on a third party site, I did not see that notice. However, I probably would have bought anyway as I would have assumed my nook screen was much larger than an Android phone screen. Without a workable zoom/landscape mode and word wrap, it is not readable on my Nook. I can only read the book on my laptop. I was very disappointed.
Give ezPDF a try.

Anybody notice that the Nook is now listed as an incompatible device on https://market.android.com/details?id=com.google.android.apps.books&feature=search_result, and Books no longer shows up in the Market on the Nook.
Is this B&N shaking things up?

Thought Google Books gives you TWO views for one book, scanned and machine (OCR). Did you check the menu to see if it gives you an alternative view?
Many times, I prefer the scanned view because it maintains the original book art and formatting vs OCR that strips and neuters everything.

It seems like a lot of people(including myself) have been having Market Issues lately on both the Froyo & HoneyComb roms. (not sure if rooted stock Nook users were seeing this to this week)
I think that Google has been making changes to the backend of the market.
Tuesday night I noticed that X-Plane was available to me in market where the previous few days searched for it would come up empty.
Yesterday i manually installed Evernote & Sugarsync because I could not find them in the marke either and I also noticed I had an older version of Xscope.
Last night, I did another round of Force Stop Google.Framework/Clear Data....Force Stop Market/Clear cache and then all of sudden all these apps reappeared in the market!
So if you have been having similar issues this week I suggest another round of the Force Stop Google.Framework/Clear Data....Force Stop Market/Clear cache. I did do mine with a round of some nice Bourbon Oak Aged Stout Beer called Heresy but not sure if this helped MArket at all But it did help me!
I am using Market Enabler with the Verizon setting(and have been using all week)
One thing i notice different in Portrait Market is on Nookie Froyo its says Apps - Game - My Apps and on my DroidX it says Apps - Games - Verizon on top.
Hopefully today I can mess with copy some of the setting from my DroidX build.prop to the Nook to see if this changes market behavior at all.
Does anyone now what settings Market Enabler is making and where?
I have been having trouble with the market as well, but it seems related to a "google talk authentication failed" error. STILL cant download apps though, its frustrating.
I just installed the HC and when I tried to DL from the marketplace, I looked over at my phone, an HTC hero, the DL was coming in there???? Tried to use another gmail account, "no device associated to this account" This makes HC useless. Anyone got a clear fix?
well for me i cant even download off the market with my NC it says its downloading but does nothing.
This has zero to do with the Nook Color, it's happening on all devices.
I have to say, some of it IS nook related.
The problem I'm seeing is that some apps do not see the Nook as a compatible device.
Take evernote for example.
I can't find it in the market, so I go to the evernote website, which points me back to the market, web version. When I am forced to choose a device, it then tells me that the device is not compatible.
How are people getting around this?

I'd have to respectfully disagree that its a completely different issue, at least not for everyone.
OP's issue is not a problem of downloading/installing apps, its finding apps.
I just tried all the apps the OP listed, and I found X-Plane, but can't find Evernote, Sugarsync, (nor Facebook).
I think that a lot of people will not find the apps they want, and think its a Market issue with their hacked device, but in reality its a problem with device compatibility checks from Google.
Thanks for the Applanet idea, I'm going to try that.
I have had lots of apps were missing for me (most notably Facebook for android) in the market occasionally. I have found that this seems to happen from time to time. In trying to buy directly off the android market site on my computer, it tells me my Nook is incompatible with the apps I am looking for (though I know it is not). The fix though, is simple ( all credit to ViralCipher)

Thanks! This worked!
I did this step when I had the application download errors, and didnt think doing it again would restore access to certain apps, but hey, whatever works!
I already own an android phone and bought a bunch of applications. I just rooted and installed the market on my nook using the same email address that is on my phone. For some reason the market on my nook wont let me download my paid apps without buying them again. Does anyone know how to fix this?
I tried redoing it and I have the same problem. Does this happen to anyone else? Does everyone else have access to their paid apps without having to pay for them again?
I didn't have to rebuy my apps. But market has been updated since I installed them. Maybe a newer version of market changed something.
It really doesn't make any sense. Its definitely the same account. It has my credit card information filled out already. I even tried buying an app i bought previously, just to see if that would jog it. It didn't work. It charged me and i had to refund it. I really don't know what else to try.
Nope, all of mine show up as "Purchased". Every time this question comes up it's always usage of the same account, but you say that's already been checked..
Good luck.
Thanks. It has to be the same acount or else all of my redit card information wouldn't bebon there. All of my android market reciepts go to this accout also.
Try visiting this page https://market.android.com/account and see a list of your purchased apps.
Standalone web site should be more reliable, than an app, hacked in a stock firmware, which kinda doesn't support google apps.

I have nookie froyo on her now. Same exact problem. This is bull**** and definitely on googles end. When are they going to get a customer support line? I've never seen another company that charges actually money like google does in the market without having a customer support line. I'm sure whatever is causing this will cause problems if I ever get another android phone in the future.
Having the same trouble here
What kind of android phone do you have? Is it using a custom rom? I'm thinking that the problem isn't with the nook at all. It's with our other devices not registering with the market properly.
It's as I suspected. I flashed my phone back to stock and I can't redownload any applications either. My whole market account got wiped somehow.
same issue here, totally different tablet BTW (samsung galaxy tab). Same thing - I wiped and flashed a ROM (ironically, same ROM!) and afterwards all my paid apps are being asked to repurchase when I hit install. Similarly in the web market it says I don't own any apps....
I am able ot restore my apps via titanium and hilariously all licence checks for programs that implement them e.g. titanium, worms etc. continue to work thank god but Goog better fix this sh-t real quick. I have >50 paid apps so this is really really bugging me out (plus now I'm afraid to do any more flashing/tweaking)
Do you have the backup, OP?
If so, just run it instead of redownload from Play
Sure you used the same google account?
Sent from my NookColor using xda premium
Recently, my Note has been unable to purchase new Market apps. Once I find the app in the Market, upon clicking the purchase button I usually get an error like "unable to find the app." Sometimes I've gotten another error like "unable to purchase now." Since I'd already purchased a lot of apps for my S2, they all installed on my Note, no problem, since they show as already purchased. So I haven't had much need to purchase new stuff for the Note. Today, though, I installed trials for a few apps. Since I liked them, I went to purchase keys for each, but got this "not found" b.s. after clicking the price button. Three times seemed pretty suspicious, so I moved my sim card back from the Note to the S2 (in case that makes a difference), and I successfully purchased all three keys from the S2 in the normal way.
I should mention that my Note couldn't find one of the keys using Market search, so I had to scan the QR code from AppBrain, which then found it. My S2 didn't require such assistance. I've actually had that problem before, but the QR search always worked around the problem.
I need to use Market Enabler from my location, and as far as I can tell it's configured on my Note exactly the same way as my S2.
In fact, I had the same problem a couple of days ago with TrevE's Logging TestApp, but the next day it was able to purchase from the Note.
Is there anyone else experiencing similar inexplicable purchasing weirdness with their Note? Or any suggestions as to how to get my Note working properly with the Market?
I know that the Android Market itself has been giving some trouble recently during the 10 Billion promotion... So it might be that.
For example, right now, I'm able to purchase Smart Task Switcher Pro key on my S2, while at the same time I'm unable to purchase it from my Note. So it seems to be a Note issue and not a Market issue. And it's only with paid apps.
What's worse, even though I purchased it for my S2, it shows as unpurchased on my Note, so I have no way of getting this app on my Note.
Same here, it's my first android phone where I can't purchase apps even with the help of market enabler...
I can find the apps, but the market says "You can't buy this app in your country".
I tried everything, proxy servers, vpn servers, airplane mode, nothing works.
I'm screwed

My problem's different: I'm able to purchase plenty of apps, and Market Enabler is verified working for me for a long time. I never get the error "You can't buy this app in your country." I get this error message: "The item you were attempting to purchase could not be found."
In your case, you've never verified that you have a correct configuration for Market Enabler. Of course, you first rooted your phone, right? Otherwise, Market Enabler won't work.

Yes of course I'm rooted and I used market enabler for a couple years and across different android phones and it always worked before. Maybe it's the new market...
Just like you I find the app, click on purchase button, and then get this country message even though I'm on a US proxy or vpn, with market enabler set on a US carrier.
We don't have the same error message, but the end result is the same, we can't buy apps.
The first time I had an error it said something like: the country where you registered your phone doesn't allow you to purchase applications.
It looks like if at one time or another the system knows you are not in the right country, then you are on some sort of black list or something like that. Then you can do everything you want, it does not matter because your account is flagged !!!
Just a theory... I hope I'm wrong, because otherwise we are screwed big time.
So, it's only your Note that fails? That is my problem. Up till now, I've gotten around it by purchasing from my S2, then installing the already purchased app on my Note. But with this one app (Smart Task Switcher), it just won't install on the Note. I emailed the developer. But yes, if we can't use the Market from our Notes with Market Enabler, that's depressing. And there won't be any help from places that don't need Market Enabler.
I found a workaround:
Freeze Android Market 1.0 with Titanium so the market doesn't update itself, uninstall market updates, I can now buy apps !!!
With Market Enabler of course...
Oh yeah, I seem to remember that solution from a while back when they updated the Market app. As I recall, I reverted to 1.0, and then did the updates again, and then it worked.
In any case, I don't think you can be 100% sure what worked for you because suddenly yesterday I was able to purchase that app that was being reported as "not found" after I'd click the "$2.49" button. When I finally purchased it, Market now reported some kind of payment irregularity, but then the app downloaded and installed. When I see my bill, I'll know if the payment was processed correctly. I've had this same b.s. before where I find an app, click to buy, and then get a "not found" reported, but it never before stretched on for days.
Even with uninstalling updates I get the "The item you were attempting to purchase could not be found".
I am rooted and use marketenabler.

and then immediately complete the purchase. This seems to reenable Market Enabler just long enough to purchase. I can't seem to figure out how to prevent Market from updating, but at least purchases are enabled long enough for me to complete them.

Tried that but then there are no paid apps only free ones then a few minutes later our reverts back to the latest version.
i don't know about buying apps as I get something new every two months or so, but Market 3.4.4 and the earlier version are taking a really long time to load, or it sometimes just hangs. I'm on LA4 but had the same issue when I was on KL7.
Oh and market enabler hasn't been working for quite a while too, on both my Note and NookColor, even when paired with Market 2.XX. Not sure what has happened!

Even with uninstalling updates I get the "The item you were attempting to purchase could not be found".
I am rooted and use marketenabler.

Yeah, this Market Enabler situation is really messing us up. I don't know why what worked for me worked for me, and there's no telling when my workaround will quit working. I wonder why Android phones are so popular in Market-disabled countries. Since the average person doesn't even root their phone, they buy these Android phones with no intention of ever getting the best apps for it.
Here's how i manage to buy paid apps on my Note:
Go to Google Play on PC,sign in,buy the required app,go to market on Note,install the app(the download link will be active n available after payment thru PC).btw,i use VPN to change the IP location on my PC(to USA or Canada)...
