[Q] Market app crash - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Recently i tried to buy a flipfont from the android market. It showed me that the transaction could not be completed because of a network error. Yet the bill has shown up on my credit card. F%^% google checkout.
But that is the least of my problems.
After exiting the errored font installation, the market app seems to have screwed up. Everytime i launch it, it crashes with a message "the process com.market.vending" has crashed unexpectedly. And i have to force close the market app.
I tried rebooting the phone a couple of times but to no avail.
Please help. How can i fix this problem. Is there anyway i can reinstall the market application.
Thanks in advance.

Maybe its because the market is being updated.

Problem solved [i think so]
Hey, the problem seems to have been solved. I tried uninstalling an update to the market application. It wasnt the new update (overhaul) to the application. Maybe it was just some update which was buggy.
Anyways, now the market application is working. Whats more, it remembered my purchase of the flipfont and now i am able to use that font too.

2 Apps force closing after root/ROM instal

Well I took the plunge last night and rooted and installed the Cynogen ROM and after some pretty tense moments everything worked!!
Only thing is Cherry Rplayer, a decent radio app I liked will no longer work: I get a "Sorry! The application Cherry Rplayer (process com.leadapps.android.radio.cherryrplayer) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. Force close" message immediately upon launch.
I searched for a similar app & found 'A Online Radio' (which looks exactly the same as Cherry Rplayer in the screenshots in the app store?) and it does the same exact thing.
Other radio apps continue to work fine such as 'NPR News'. I've also tried re-installing and still does not work.
What's up with that?
Thanks in advance
Did you flash with the latest version, ie, 5.0.5.2? One of the changes include
* Disable V8 in Webkit and switch back to JSC due to app incompatibilities

No, I used 5.0.5.1. But I just upgraded to 5.0.5.2 and launching these apps result in the same immediate force close message.
In case anyone else is having the same problem, I was able to find in another thread that fixing uid mismatches in recovery (THANKS jsapp & travon802!) solves this problem...
I'm having the same problem with Power Manager Pro (I bought it, so it's kind of annoying) and fixing uid mismatches didn't solve it.
Happens since CM5.0.5. I'm currently on 5.0.5.2

Market re-downloading app over and over

I have this weird problem that only started occurring today.. If I open up the Market and update an app it will attempt to download & update the app over and over in a continuous loop. The only way I can make it stop is if I kill the Market app.
Figuring that something may have become corrupted I just did a complete reinstall and I'm still seeing the same behavior! I just updated an app and it download & installed 6 times repeatedly before I killed the Market app! So annoying!
Anyone seen anything similar? I'm at a loss at how to fix this, I've already reinstalled everything.
OK I'm beginning to think it may be a server problem, but it would be great if anybody could provide some input.
I posted a logcat on pastebin, it captures me waking my phone up, opening the Market and updating the app RepliGo Reader.
http://pastebin.com/UswHrLKK
I have highlighted a couple lines which I think are of interest, from what I can tell the app installs fine, then CheckinService sends a checkin request and receives the following error:
Got ApiException from async request: Error from backend. Request=com.android.vending.model.GetAssetRequest, Response=INTERNAL_SERVICE_ERROR
It's at this point that D/vending states there is a download pending and attempts to download/install again.
Any input is greatly appreciated.
Do a search, there are atleast 4 threads on this. One here.

MARKET not working!

Hey, just a quick question... has anyone been experiencing problems with the market? I have been running FROYO since day one, and apart from the crappy ''new apps2sd'', it's been running flawlessly. But here I am today, trying to install apps from the market, and each time i try to install an app, it says "installation of [...] was unsuccesful''. The weird thing is that the market was working perfectly yesterday and it suddenly stopped today... i did not modify anything in the configuration of the phone and for those who might think that i have a faulty wifi connection, i tried at 3 different locations, with the same results... any help would be appreciated, thanks!
Its not the market, its actually the setpminstalllocation that makes the apps store to sd. It the apps2sd problem.
Moved as not Android Dev.
I tried changing the installation location... same problem occurs

I get this with some specific apps (not using a2sd). One of them are "Earth live wallpaper". When installing I get the "installation unsuccessful" message in the notification drawer, and in Market I get a "Installation Error: Unknown reason -18" popup.

[Q] Can't download any from market

I have rooted captivate. since yesterday I can't download or update anything from market. It keeps saying 'starting downloads' and happens nothing. Even sometimes it says your item will be downloaded but again happens nothing.
I use black market too. Does it make my 'market' fail now? I don't have a clue...please help me.
Hey try re flashing the rom you have and see if that works, its worked for me before.

Make sure the Google Talk services are running.
Steps to try:
1) Clear market data, retry downloads.
2) Depending on the rom you are on, Froyo build, you may not have a unique Android ID. If this is the case, download Android ID Changer and change the ID to something other than seen. Next time you flash stock, get your unique Android ID and write it down so you can use in the future.
Good luck.
I didn't get Froyo yet, and I just rooted in order to get the permission of installing apps freely. so I didn't do anything with roms. And I realized that Google talk is not working. I never played that app becuase I'm using kakaotalk. It says signing in...but nothing happens. How can I erase maket data then. I think I should have study more before rooting. How does goolge talk running related to market?

Both the market and Google talk use this service called
Google Talk Service (or something like that)
If you use a program that blocks startup programs make sure both google talk and its service are greenlisted. In addition try to stop using any task killers to see if that is the problem.
And the massage "Sorry! The process com.google.process. gapps has stopped unexpectedly. please try again." comes out from time to time with 'force close' button.
What does it mean?

I think it is tied to GMail sync which is also tied to the Google Talk service I believe.
I uninstalled apps have chances auto killing that process. They are one click lag, auto killer memory, but nothing changed after rebooting. Even the same error message came out as soon as rebooted. The odd thing is that that task is still running when i check with android hackers. How can I control the start up apps?

try using an app called "start up auditor"
Oh my Gosh!! I love XDA developers friends!! Thanks diablo, nbs !! I just found out other thread with same issue and fixed beautifully my captivate.
Here is what I did. I downloaded google talk services apps from here, and copy them to systems/app, and reboot. They are automatically downloading all the accumulated failed downloading after rebooting. I might have deleted some gtalk related apps by mistake. Hooray!!
Thanks all!!

No problem! The same thing happened to me a while back because I accidentally startup audited the service.
i cant seem to make this work for me? but I am having the same problem..

[Q] Market Broke(UPDATE) All Working again!

I got message of update for market, I restarted and did market fix and now it won't start up at all. I get "Server error has occurrred. retry or cancel and return to previous screen." I have tried fix 4-5 times with no success. Do I need to uninstall market and re install it some how?
I had that too. What I did was do the market fix. Make sure you go to market and see the error notification after you do the clear data. Restart Gtab. Wait for a few minutes for wireless connection to start up, then go to market. If that does not work, just restart your gtab again, without doing the market fix, and wait for a few minutes then go to market.
Hope this help!
no go
I have tried the market fix at least 5 times and it still gives me the error. I notice now that there is no data to clear in applications/market, it just shows gray. I also noticed on my PC, in market my Google account shows I don't have any devices now..... Am I going to have to reinstall my entire ROM? I hope not as I have my tab running just right, other than the market!
Any ideas?
Back up your apps with TitaniumBackup, do a fresh rom rebuild, and use TitaniumBackup to restore your apps.
Do the market fix but instead of clearing the cache in the market clear the data. After you reboot, run the market app, accepted license agreement. At this point you should have the limited market. Now just do the normal market fix to bring back the full market. Can't make any promises but it worked for me.
Working again
I guess Google was jacked up yesterday, because tonight I was able to open market and accept license agreement and then run market fix again.... Wierd
Thanks to those who responded to my thread!
