Android Market.. please help - Nook Color General

I have my new Nook Color rooted to 3.0. I was able to use the Market perfectly fine for quite some time, downloading over a dozen apps. However, now it's giving me all sorts of problems. The last few downloads failed. If I try to redownload them, I never get a notification. It's like it forgot about me. Then it said I needed to resign into Gmail, and even with a valid password, it said it was wrong. Magically, without entering a password, it started working again. However, I still can't download everything.
I've tried to clear the cache on the Android Market app, and restart, but nothing. Now Google Talk won't authenticate. Ughh..
Please help!

Protip. Honeycomb isn't ready to be used for nook.

I know it's not fully operational, but I also know there's a way to get the Market working again. That's all I need to know.

No idea if this works, you could try downloading and installing the Cyanogenmod GApps package (can't post a link...it's easy to find on the official CM website).
Be prepared to bork your installation and have to reinstall HC completely, though. In general, you shouldn't expect much luck from a hacked SDK build that is soon to be obsolete.

Honestly, after doing some research, I think it's Google Talk. Other Android users have the same issue. If Talk won't connect (authentication failed), then Market won't work. I haven't found a solution though to the problem.. still looking.

Ok, I'm done with 3.0, this is frustrating. What's the best way to go from 3.0 to an earlier version of Android like 2.2 or 2.3?

I am running nookie froyo 0.6.8 from SD card. My Market also wasn't working and my google talk aslo failed to authenticate. I clear the cache for the market and I cleared the google services framework data and it worked again. I also found that have my install from unknown sources enable wouldn't allow my market to load at all. It gave me errors. If anybody knows how to fix that problem please help me. Good luck!

Seriously, you're my hero. It worked after I did that and rebooted!
One problem though, while it's at least trying to download and install now (and works on programs like Pandora), I can't get Angry Birds or AB Seasons to install. It always says it was unsuccessful. Any thoughts?

Take the SD card out, with it in, the market tries to download games to the SD card. It won't work downloading to it.

Then make sure you look under the all tab. The downloaded tab is the default for me.
Also I don't take credit for this fix. Somebody else posted it and I was just saying that I had the same problem and that this solution worked for me as well and I wanted to add that having Unknown sources checked cause the market to not working for me not sure if others are having that problem.

Can the system be set to download games to internal memory instead of the SD card, so that we won't have to pull the SD card out? Is that possible just wondering?

Um, how can you get away with pulling the SD card if you're running the OS off the card?

Market is broken for me...
Can anyone help me out with this Market not working?
I'm running stock NOOKcolor ROM v1.1 with AutoNooter (for root) and ADW launcher. Everything was working great for me and when I tried to install the latest Market the Market stopped working. It loads, and I accepted the terms and conditions, then it drops back to the home screen (launcher desktop). And each new time I load it, it drops back to the home screen.
I tried clearing cache, and data for the Market. I tried unchecking the USB debug, and Allow Non-Market Installs. I tried removing the microSD card. I tried reverting back to the old Market. I tried looking for the Google Services Framework, but could not find it under all apps. Nothing is working for me.
Any suggestions or tips? Anyone else having this problem?

Market App not connecting

I recently wiped and upgraded to 5.0.7-t1 and since then I have been unable to access the market - it might have something to do with having cleared my SD Card but I don't know how to get it working again!
Each time i open it says 'server error has occurred. Retry or cancel and return to previous screen' each time I open it! I've looked everywhere, can someone help please i have no apps!
try opening gtalk first and let it connect
thanks for the reply, gtalk works perfectly - still no market tho. I have no apps as ive wiped that many times to try to get it working again! this is a nightmare, no suggestions anyone? I presume its something to do with wiping my SD Card accidently - >

this option doesn't exist - presumably because it has never even been able to connect once! what a nightmare

[Q] Nookie Froyo - Fresh install - market connect fails....

I have a Nook Color running 1.1.0 autonootered (not sure that it matters) and I've been playing with the SD version of Nookie Froyo for the last few days.
Two days ago I was able to create a SD card with Nookie Froyo, load the Google Apps connect to my Google account, sync with my Google Calendar and download apps from the market. I also played with remapping the volume keys and other stuff to a point where I started to get a lot of "Force Close" messages. The system was too unstable to I decided to rebuilt the SD card from scratch.
I used the same Nookie Froyo image I used before, loaded it on the same SD card as before using WinDiskImager and it boots with no problem. Then I load the Google Apps through adb using the same Google Apps image as I used before and the SD card boots fine with all the Google Apps there.
I can connect using WiFi and browse the web through the browser.
But when I start the market and try to connect to my Google Account, it spins for a couple of minutes and I get a "Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server." error.
I tried to force close and wipe the data of both the Market and the Google Service Framework, the reboot, still not good!
I did a lot of research and stumble on this thread and followed the suggestion to install the Maker Enabler app, faked a T-Mobile operator and bingo! It worked.
What gives? Is Google playing around with the Market and is not letting "un-authorized" devices connect?
I am having the same problem with a fresh install of honeycomb. I tried the ME fix and now I am getting a problem with that app too. When I try to enable t-mobile i get Houston we have a problem... Thanks for this post. i didn't even think about ME until this post.
I'm having the exact same problem on a honeycomb install. When searching the forum, there seem to be others with the same question.. no answers though. Most of them in the last day or two.
I'm thinking it may be a market issue that will hopefully resolve itself... Anybody know?
Trying Market enabler now (must be rooted i think) First round didn't work. Trying again.
Maket Enabler worked for me. Took a couple tries but its working finally!!! YAY!

Working on this issue. Looks to be a location issue. What exactly did you set in Market Enabler to have it work correctly?

Froyo may try on HC later but for now everything is working no FC even gtalk and google voice are working
Newbie question...
I'm used to installing APK's by copying to the device, and using a file manager like Astro to tap the apk, open in the installer.
Without market, I don't have astro installed. So how do I install the ME APK?

I used adb
ADB in and do this
setprop gsm.sim.operator.numeric "310260"
setprop gsm.operator.numeric "310260"
setprop gsm.sim.operator.iso-country "us"
setprop gsm.operator.iso-country "us"
setprop gsm.sim.operator.alpha "T-Mobile"
setprop gsm.operator.alpha "T-Mobile"
pkill vending
rm -rf /data/data/com.android.vending/cache/*ta/com.android.vending/cache/*
Should fix your issues.

That worked on my NookieFroyo!! Thank you!
Now, for my HC Preview v4... which apparently isn't already rooted....
Btw, if I wanted it to be Verizon? just change the number and name in the above commands to be what Market Enabler shows when I run it from my phone?
EDIT: Worked on HC Prev v4 too!
That worked perfectly! Thanks!
Should this be documented somewhere on the Nookie Froyo "how to" page?
Sorry if this is a dumb question...

Market still fails to download

I have a nook color running froyo on the internal memory, and cannot download apps from the market. I tried reinstalling and signing in to goggle through talk, re pushing the market apk and google services apk, clearing the cache and data for both apps, and reinstalling. Still no luck, although im trying market enabler now. Any ideas?
same problem here. a fix would be greatly appreciated

agree, thanks but none this work..i am using nookie-froyo-0.6.8.custom.2.zip
market can be a ***** sometimes.
wipe market data over and over (and reboot) until it works.
CM7
no longer use froyo, CM7 is coming...
I'm having the same problems with the same version of 2.2. Never had any problems with the older versions I tried.
I have tried lots and lots of things. I usualy get it to work for maybe 1 download after after I uninstall one app, once it worked after I moved all the apps I had on the sd card to the internal memory. Sometimes I got it to work by canceling the google talk login.
The fact remains the latest 2.2 version is broken somehow.
I'm having the same problem.
Edit: I found a solution to my problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11545846&postcount=400
"To fix market download problems I force stopped Market, cleared its cache and data. Did the same for Google Framework Services. Then in ROM Manager I fixed permissions, rebooted to recovery. In recovery I formatted cache. I got the four unable to mount cache messages that others reported, but the Market works."
Did you accidently/purposely delete any of the Gtalk, Talk, or TalkProvider apks? If so then you'll need to go back to stock and re-root. If not, then start up the Google Talk app, login if not already, then logout, then login again.
When is CM7 comming ???

[Q] App updates

well i downloaded a few apps from the market like facebook and angry birds but now i cant download/update apps from the market. those two apps have updates, can i update them a different way?
what do you mean you can't update them? They don't show up or you download them, try to install and you get errors?
Get the apk online, put it on your sd card and install it. If you can't find the apk, make a backup of it with your phone, transfer it to the sd card of your NC and install away. Manual ways, but they work.

it says its updating but nothing happens just like when i try to install something.
thanks for the tip.
I forgot to mention that i use dropbox to transfer from one device to the other when i need to. This will save you a lot of time.
Try clearing your market cache and google services framework (i think), it's posted somewhere. This should get you a fresh start.

[Q] CM7 market does not show "My Apps" (fixed)

i have this weird problem:
first, i'm running CM7 from a verygreen's SD card
it was running fine but i had some force closes so i resintalled from the begining (reflashed verygreens image), then installed CM7.0.2, installed gapps, and when the market was downloading all of my apps, my system crashed down, and had to reboot.
After that, i havent been able to see my free apps in the "My Apps" tab of the market, i can see my paid apps.
tried to reflash again verygreens image to delete everything, upgraded to n59, still, only see my paid apps. tried restore them with titanium, and they restore, but the "Attach to market" option does not work for me
when i log to the web market, it shows that all my apps (free and paid) as if they were already installed
has anyone else seen this behaviour? any idea?
thanks

Not really, but you might try this... Install and run Appbrain, sync up with it, etc.. then go into the Market app.
When I was messing with ROMs a while back with apps already on my SD ext partition they'd show up to run but not in the Market, but running Appbrain always "attached" them for me. Did it several times.
Using CM7, I was experiencing the same issue, but any new app I downloaded, free or paid, would then show up in the market. I wasn't too concerned, as I only had 5 free apps from the market. Amazon Market, which is where most of my apps are, showed all without an issue.

thanks a lot, this attached all my restored apps (with TitatiumB) to the market again.
missing apps still fail to be re-downloaded, but not a problem since i have a full backup of my apps, just have to restore them and reattach with appbrain
