[Q] Samsung Galaxy S I90000 - Android Market Force Close - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I'm having a problem that has been described elsewhere but none of the problems sound "exactly" the same as mine, and none of the fixes I have tried have worked
Phone:
Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000M Bell Canada
standard (not rooted)
Recent Changes:
The only recent (ie in the last week) change I have made to my phone was to install a camera firmware upgrade via Samsung apps. Did that on Jan 26. Since that time I've noticed the issue.
The issue:
Upon opening the Android Market app, after a short while waiting on the "loading..." screen, I receive this message:
"A server error has occurred. Retry, or cancel and return to the previous screen."
If I hit retry, or if I am fast enough on the initial start of the market app, I can actually hit the search button, enter a search term, and it tries to search (but never returns a result)
If I hit cancel it closes the market app.
Then usually, but not always, a few seconds later I receive a force close error message
"The Application Market (process com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
I haven't been able to figure out why this only comes up some of the time.
What I have tried so far:
Clearing data/clearing caches of various apps
uninstall android market updates
uninstall recently installed apps (removed the aforementioned firmware upgrade)
Change Google account password - after changing via a PC, the Market App then prompted me to enter the new password - but then the same result "A server error has occurred..." etc
Tried using WiFi
Tried using 3g
Tried adding an account (settings>manage accounts & sync ... the blue G for google icon and entered my gmail info) This triggers the same force close "The Application Market (process com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
After each change tried a reboot (inc remove battery & wait a 5 minutes)
Trying to avoid doing a factory reset - from other posts it sounds like it hasn't worked for others, and I've had 4 issues in the last 4 months that required a reset ... getting mighty sick of reloading everything!
any help is much appreciated!!
PS. Not sure if this is related - Social Hub force closes every time I reboot the phone - process com.seven.Z7 - only way I've found to fix is to go into samsung apps and reinstall every time I reboot. That sucks, but not as bad as having no market app!

Market is being updated currently.

Paid Apps Will No Longer Download From Market

Hi
Up until yesterday, apps, whether paid or free would download fine on my device. Nothing has changed my end, but today, paid apps will no longer download (free apps download fine). There are two issues, the authorising payment page takes eons (used to be instant), and the phone sits on the 'starting download' or 'downloading...' pages for ever without ever actually downloading the app that I have paid for. Issue is present whether I initiate the download from the phone or from a PC.
Obviously, this makes the phone next to useless. I have no time to wipe/re-install the phone - especially since this may not even fix the issue!
I can find no 'report an issue' link at google's market to get support on this issue. The apps purchased are past the refund window.
I have tried all the various fixes I found on google (start google talk, kill cache/app settings for market and downloader), try another internet connection, restart phone blah blah, nothing has worked.
Anyone got any suggestions?
Nigel
Paid apps that had previously been installed and then removed will re-install fine... I can only assume that its the authorisation thats failing (nothing wrong with any of the cards on my google wallet account).
Nigel
Go to setting - application - manage - All - market - clear cache n Data
do same for talk (google talk)
first login to talk then market
In market application - check setting - accout - Fix default if you have multiple acc
Hi
As mentioned in my original post. I already tried that. I just tried it again with the same result.
After having done the above, I tried to buy the app from my PC, Got the following message 'Your order is still being processed. Your item will become available as soon as your order is complete. If you'd like, you can check your order status at anytime.' which is not the norm. Clicking the link within the message takes me to the transaction in google wallet which is listed as 'complete' unfortunately, the download does not auto-start (like it used to) on the phone, and when I force it to manually start, It goes to the 'starting download...' message. The app never does download, market app just displays this message forever more until I go and 'clear data' for the market app.
I give up! Looks like I am stuck with what I have on the phone + whatever I can get for free.
Have emailed google, will update thread should they bother to respond.
Market version is 3.4.4 | Download Manager is 2.3.5
Have you vosited web version of market?
Market.android.com login with google acc.
You will see your purchased appl there, if u can see there, click on install from there, it will start installing to ur device remotely
Try it
Hi
Yep, tried that - does not work. I can initiate the installation of free apps from the market on a pc, but not paid apps. The paid app I am trying to install is listed as having been successfully purchased. Looks like a bug/glitch, but one I am going to have to wait for google to fix.
Do you have the Amazon app market installed?

This issue seems to be with KL3 onwards and region or could be csc dependent, the only fix for this is to use the older market version the 2.6.x
try going into recovery mode and choose fix permission
Hi
Well, I got an auto response from google 'we are looking into it', but no emails since. Tried again this morning, and everything just started working again. Whether this was an issue with the market, my market account, my google wallet account etc is unknown.
I'd like to know the reason so I can fix it if it happens again, but at least its now working again.
@ericshmerick: Nope, no amazon app market. I don't believe this works in the UK
Nigel
The exact same thing is happening to me were you able to eventually get the apps you purchased its been about two days and the problem persists I have filed a support case with Google happening on two phones and a tablet ans the web market through a PC isn't working either. It seems to get stuck at authorizing the payment .

This was a big problem two weeks ago. I think the CheckROM guys figured out how to fix it. Their forum has a nice FAQ at the start. Have a look there. If that doesn't help then wade through the Rocket forum.

What's problem with my Play Store :(

My Play Store has a discomfort problem. Many many app in Play Store, when I click Accept and Download, then have a warning like attched picture, and "starting download" ... forever >"< ... I don't know why. Anyone can say me what's problem with my Play Store ? I switched to another google account ... but ... no change . How I can fix this very very discomfort problem ?
A common error occurs to Android users when they attempt to use Google Play to download apps that says “Error Processing Purchase DF-BPA-09″. The error usually doesn’t allow users to download anything and the problem will reoccur with every attempt.
The following steps usually fix this problem.
1. Open the Settings app.
2. Tap Applications.
3. Select the All tab.
4. Locate and tap Google Services Framework.
5. Select the Clear data button.
6. Tap OK on the warning that appears.
Although you may not have to, try restarting the device, then try to use Google Play. You should now have no problem downloading apps.
Fixed and cleared . Thank you very much :-x

N7 - 'Now' closes whenever I use the search

I seem to be the only one with this problem
If I go into Google Now and start typing in the search box, shortly after it goes off to google to get suggestions it closes
If I select a previous search it closes
If I do a voice search it interpretes it, then closes before acting on the instruction
It was working fine up until today.
I've removed recent apps, restarted, removed sideloaded 9non-store) apps and restarted - still no joy.
The only other thing that I've done is mounted it via MTP on my linux desktop to transfer some files earlier. Probably coincidence
I've uploaded a video of the behaviour. (remove spaces in url as <10 posts = no links)
