[Q] Reinstalling the market update

So I had a few apps get the infinite Installing Android Market bug thanks to a wireless router dying at a bad time. The only thing that worked short of doing a factory reset was to uninstall the market update.
So my question is how do I get the Market update to reinstall?
Thanks
(Not rooted, stock ROM)

Uninstall application, then reinstall. Just a hunch.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

Were it only so simple. The 2.2 market enchancements were a silent upgrade, so there's no market link. And beyond that, the Market no long appears up on the manage Applications list in the system settings.

I've been having the same issues as well, very frustrating! I've been searching here and good ol' google on how to get that update back...to no avail yet.
Did you ever get any success?

Pulled this. See if it works for you.

Thanks
Trying to side load it now, but I can't seem to get droid explorer to work. sigh.....
It connects to the phone fine, but then when I go to install the package, it gives me a new window that wants to install something. I don't really remember that window coming up in the past, but to be honest it's been quite awhile since I've used droidexplorer... So I click isntall, and the program immediately crashes.
So, I put the file on my web server, and downloaded it from there. (Got some annoying lovely messages about the phone being out of space until I cleared the browser download list....) It downloaded fine, but when I go to install it, I get "Parse Error There is a problem parsing the package."
On an odd hunch, I started poking around the file structure in DroidExplorer, and was able to pull my own MarketUpdater.apk out and save it to the computer. So I threw that on the webserver, and was able to download it fine, AND re-install it. No idea if that will actually DO anything, but hey, figured it was worth a shot.
So now that I've waited 15 minutes after reinstalling the marketupdater.apk, (big surprise) nothing's changed.
EDIT:
Went to grab a sandwich for lunch, and decided to pop into the ATT store since it was right next to where I was eating. Asked one of the reps that I have a pretty good relationship with about the issue, and he said a customer came in not too long ago with the same issue, and the only resolution was a system wipe. Hopefully we can get around it...Of course, if not, and I do have to do a wipe, I'll just upgrade to 2.2....

[Q] Grooveshark force closes?

So I love grooveshark on my droid 1 great for building my own play list and for listening to any song at any time without having to wait for it to download or to be played on pandora or last fm or anything like that, Installed it on my gtab running vegan 3 and it keeps force closing everytime i go to login to it, has anyone else been able to get this program up and running without it force closing? this is the only app i've had problems with since getting my gtab for xmas this past sat.

Not sure what the issue is, but I'm having the same problem on TnT lite 3.1.3. Total bummer... what a great app.

Got Grooveshark app working on my GTab!
With the recent update of Grooveshark to v2.2.1, I'm now able to launch the app without any FC's! However, it would still not allow me to login, stating that it was receiving a connection error even though I verified that I had a good Wifi connection.
I have Grooveshark v2.2.1 successfully running on my N1 so I just backed it up with Titanium Backup and transferred it over to my GTab. I restored with 'Data only' and now Grooveshark launches and logs in successfully on my GTab! (I'm running TnT Lite 4.1.0)
I'm listening to one of my playlists right now and it sounds great! All the app functionality seems to work just fine, in fact I think the the app's UI works really well in landscape on the tablet.

Damn i gotta try this, thanks.
Edit: Thanks so much worked like a charm!!!

Thanks for the tip on restore of data. It worked like a charm. I had to do a fresh install and then take the data off of my fascinate with titanium and do a data only restore...presto....
Thanks guys
\oo/

I'm a noob, but how do you transfer over the TI backup of Grooveshark from my Vibrant to install on my Gtab to get Grooveshark to work? If you can give me some direction i'd appreciate it.

Its easiest if you have dropbox on both devices, just go to where the TI backup is stored normally its 3 files and move them into the dropbox or onto a computer, and than either hook the gtab up to the computer and move files to the TI backup folder for grooveshark replacing the old files, or do it from dropbox just download the 3 files from dropbox on your tablet and than move them into the TI grooveshark backup folder replacing the old 3 files.
The 3 files on your droid should be in sdcard/titaniumbackup/ with the 3 file extensions being .properties .apk.gz and tar.gz take all three of those files and put them onto your tablet replacing the 3 files that are in that location on the tab and than running the restore on the tablet from titanium and voila!

Thanks for the help, I forgot my gtab at home, i'll give this a try when i get off from work.

I tried this method, pulled the 3 files from my Vibrant, replaced the files on Gtab, performed the "data only" restore and still received connection/login issues. I tried a fresh install of Grooveshark on the Gtab, backed up with TI, then copied the Vibrant files over and still same result?
Not sure where I am going wrong on this? Any one got any other tips?

Slightly OT, but I get FC on the Grooveshark app so thought about going straight to the web site.
When I try to use listen.grooveshark.com I get a Problem Loading Flash error
listen.grooveshark.com is the only site that does this.
Does this happen to anyone else?

Anyone have an update on this? I have latest Vegan Beta 5.1.1 and I can open Grooveshark but no song plays. It just keeps skipping. I have tried restoring as mentioned in the previous posts and this did not fix my issue. When I restore from Titainum it just crashes as soon as I try to open it. I tried restoring just data and also app+data and neither one worked. Does anyone have any ideas?

Can someone post the three files? I cannot access those files to load on my G Tab...

The problem is that we are restoring our account from another device. In order for this to work for you, someone would have to login to their device with your account and then upload that for you to restore with. You could do this but I would recommend for you to change your password. Then you would have to send a pm in order to not publicly post a password.
Edit:
Here is a link to the files without an account attached to it. Try it out. I don't know if it will work though.

This slightly OT, but I have been testing an app called Tinyshark - so far so good.

I have been getting mixed results with Tinyshark. Sometimes it works, but often it won't play any of my music. Anyone having the same issue? Any fixes for this?

[Q] Youtube sign in/connection problem

Hey,
after rooting my nook color (1.1.0; auto nook 3.0) i'm expieriencing some nasty issues: every attemp to sign in (youtube, kindle, market...) fails. the error message is always similar: no internet connection. but on the other hand my internet connection via wifi (WPA/WPA2) is working without problems. i tried to replace the pre-installed youtube app via adb, but uninstall seems to be withou success...
i hope you can help me to find a workaround.
thank you for your help!

I have a similar problem. 1.0.1 rooted. Every time i sign in on youtube the next time i try to open the youtube app it just doesn't load. I have to uninstall it and push it through adb in order to work. So is there any way to sign in without it crashing afterwards? Thanks

I have the same problem. Starting today I cannot even launch the youtube app. It crashes immediately. So I removed it and went to the market to find a fresh install, but I can't find it. Its probably only available as part of Android OS. What is a good way to bring it back?

hmmm...I need the youtube app as workaround to get access to google market
uninstall via adb was not successfull. but it seems as my nc has a general problem with signing in...kindle app is unable to connect to the internet (wifi: full connectivity, internet active), facebook via stock browser is crashing as soon as I push the sign in button.

There may be two problems: a wifi NC problem and the youtube app problem. I have an intermittent wifi that I fixed by going to 802.11g. See my post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11458921&postcount=1
The youtube problem has been documented in the forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=883989&highlight=youtube

Have you used auto nooter to root? If yes, and you've removed Youtube from the NC, i just put the auto nooter file back on the SD card and re root following the usual instructions. I had removed it, hoping to just install it again, but like you say, market doesn't show it. I re-rooted my NC and Youtube was back. *Just remember as the below poster shows by linking the other thread, do not sign-in, just leave it normal, i and others had issue when you log in.

[APP] Hulu Plus - WORKING!

Follow these steps to get Hulu Plus working:
1. Delete any copy of Hulu Plus from your phone.
2. Download the file from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19377222&postcount=7
3. Extract the 3 files into your TitaniumBackup folder.
4. Restore Hulu Plus from Titanium Backup using App+Data.
Thank derek4484 for providing the files since Rootzwiki did not host it anymore and thank him in his post too.
Note: In order to use Hulu Plus, disable ad blocking using AdFree or any other similar app.

This would complete the Captivate

any updates? Anyone found a workaround to get hulu plus app to work on the captivate?
Sheb

This needs to be done already

If you are rooted just find a titanium back up of the app ( it is somewhere in this forum) and back it up. Worked for me and I do believe it is the only work around. The hulu app checks for compatibility in a different manner then Netflix did. Netflix was easy to fool

Do you mind attaching the TiBu backup for the Hulu Plus app since it doesn't seem to be available on Rootzwiki anymore.

I found the Hulu Plus backup and restored it with titanium backup, but it still didnt work. As soon as I started Hulu plus a big red/white error window popped up and said device not supported.
Edit: OK I only restored App from Titanium Backup. Once I restored App+Data it works great.
Just extract the three files within this to your titanium backup folder on the SD card, go into titanium backup and restore app+data. Should work.

Nice!!! I just tried this out and it works great. I havent found any bugs yet but will update if I do. Finally Hulu Plus for Captivate!
Edit: Ok I have a bad wireless and 3g connection at my house but after the advertisement loads I can't get the video to play even when adjusted to low quality. It says your network appears to have problems. Let me know if its working for you and I'll try again on my campus wireless tomorrow and when I have better 3g service.

Hulu +
Worked!!! Awesome! Tx.:d

Can either of you all confirm that you are able to stream video? I still can't get past the advertisement screen.

This is probably because you are blocking ads via your /etc/hosts file. If you are using any non-stock ROM this is probably true. This interferes with Hulu's ads and prevents it from continuing. If you download and install the "AdFree" from the market then use it to revert to the non-blocking hosts file, then Hulu should work. When you are done watching, you can run AdFree again to reblock ads (if you want).

I've been using ad free and trying to revert my host file but I still can't get past the ad screen. Any way I can do this manually or other possible solutions?
Sent from my Samsung Captivate running Andromeda³

Well, you can look at the file /etc/hosts, if it has been successfully reverted then it should just be one line:
127.0.0.1 localhost
You can probably do this manually if you use root explorer (or equivalent) to make the file writable.
This works for me great with WiFi, but hit and miss on 3G, depending on signal strength.

I checked the host file and it has been reverted. Still running into problems though. I get to the screen of Ad: Your video will resume soon but under loading circle and buffering it says: It appears you are having network issues. Please wait, or try again later.
Im going to mess around with clearing data on things today and see what happens.

Works great. Now does anyone know how to get around the 8 bucks a month you gotta pay to use it

Please can someone help me with this issue?! My sister have a Samsung Vibrant and after one whole night, I finally rooted her phone with Superoneclick just to help her install Hulu Plus on it. I got the app working but like so many others, I am stuck on the buffering screen!
I've tried the AdFree method of reverting my host file, rebooted, but still no go. I've tried uninstalling AdFree, rebooting. No go. I've tried booting into recovery mode to clear cache but no go. I've installed ES File Explorer to manually view my Host file and it is empty except for the 127.0.0.1 line. I am literally pulling my hair out.
Is there any other way to unblock ads on the phone to get Hulu Plus working? Is there like some sort of secret cache that I'm suppose to clear using a secret utility I don't know of? Please I need help!

I was never able to get it working on my phone either. I'm convinced it won't work on froyo based roms. I get the same issue with it never being able to get past the buffering screen even with a clean host file. If you are ever able to get it to work on a 2.2 ROM let me know.

Thanks for the quick reply. Sucks for you to hear this but at least I'm glad I'm not the only one with the problem. I'm regretting ever telling my sister to get an Android phone. This is so ridiculous, although I understand this is not exactly the operating system's fault.
I'm about to give up on getting this thing to work on her phone. It's madness.

Netflix wants to update, but won't

Every time I run Netflix, it says there is a new version and it wants to update. But if I click OK, it just says a required component is missing and then goes back. What's up with that? Should I do an uninstall and reinstall? I know this thing seems to be constantly on and off the market, so I worry about doing that.

Hit Cancel or No. Watch movies. Profit.

Hmm...it almost seems too simple.
Granted, it works as-is, but it just sort of annoys me.

I have run into the same issue. I simply copied the current, up-to-date Netflix apk off of my Droid and put it on the SD card of the Nook. Installed it from there and everything is up-to-date with no annoying notifications.

I was having the same problem. I am running CM7 nightly off SD. Netflix was not showing in the market so I could not update. I searched and found this file --"com.netflix.mediaclient-1.apk". I loaded the app to the SD card using Samba Filesharing app and installed it. It updated Netflix, no more problems. Hope this helps

Cool. Thanks, guys.
