Apps not Downloading?

A weird new issue started last night. Once you select a app to download its like its stuck in queue. It says starting download forever yet it never downloads. Although I purchased a paid app and it downloaded right away. I tried it on multiple networks, wifi. Multiple restarts. I'm running 5.0G. Anyone else having a similar issue?

I think everyone on the G builds is having the issue. It was ok for me yesterday, but doesn't work today, so it looks like something has changed on the Market that is prevent G builds from downloading (H builds are fine apparently).
Regards,
Dave

Yeah I just figured that out after catching up on the Haykuro thread. I can download purchased apps fine though. Makes no sense to me.

G Build here as well. I can't update dxTop, which is a paid app. Anyone think Google/T-Mo did this intentionally to thwart people running the homebrewed Android?

That dosent make sense to me though as when you just purchase a app it downloads fine. If it is indeed Google then I'll just get H. But I am gonna wait another day before doing that.

oo yea i cant dl apps too, i was thinkin im alone

If you wait long enough(like 10-11 FREAKING HOURS!!!) it'll eventually dl and install. I think they're doing an upgrade to the market to handle cupcake and LucidREM seems to agree with me, so this seems to just be termporary..

Some people on the NC Developers forum were reporting codec issues with 1.1, including failure to play mp3s. I suspect that's the problem you're encountering.

As far as sirius, it just say updating, it opens up and everything like normal, as info pandora and poweramp work fine, and movies play fine on stock and rockplayer

Same problem here, just updated my NC to the rooted version 1.1.0 of the firmware and my XM app just stays on searching for updates and never starts. It worked under rooted firmware 1.0.1. I uninstalled and reinstalled the XM app from the marketplace, which did not make a difference.

Recent update seems to help...
I followed the directions for putting the new 1.1r2 update for NC and rooting it to open it up. After that, I installed the Slacker Radio app and it's working fine on my NC. I'm able to cache as many stations as my SD card can hold (though I've limited it to 5 stations) and it recognizes my account.
I've also turned off/shut down my cell phone services on it for battery savings so perhaps that's helping out.

[Q] Comcast Xfinity App for G-tab - Anyone get it to work?

Found a thread with the .apk but it doesn't seem to work. I can get it installed; however, it gives me an error with just about every action I try. Any help? Running TNT Lite v4.4.

I actually posted the same question. I got it from the market and was really looking forward to having access to on demand. Anytime I try to do anything I get a unknown error has occurred. I haven't contacted them yet, but I am wondering if a 3G connection is required. On their site it does say that the app requires an android phone 2.1 or 2.2, so that is why I am thinking it needs 3G.

As I told markmac in his post, I was able to open an use the Xfinity app fine on my gtab running the stable CM7 released yesterday.

Works fine, running vegan tab gingerbread rc1. Did have tnt and tried, was a no go.

I get the same error on the Vegan GB ROM.

Last night i flashed the latest Vegan Gingerbread rom and still having the same issue. Just to me clear, my issues are with the Xfinity TV app not the Xfinity Mobile app.

Apoligize, app not working, had themobile. Most functions work.from there website which was strange.

No go on this stock tablet. Unknown error on both sign-in and searching for the channel listing. FWIW their mobile app doesn't work either.

Tried this on my Vegan-Tab 5.1.1 and while I was able to download it from the Market after running the "fix" I too get the unknown error.
I also can't seem to get access through their website despite being a paid customer for all of Xfinity's content. Every movie/tv show that I try hangs at "obtaining authorization"...

Is this the app to control your DVR remotely ?
or
To watch On Demand ?
From my GTab: I just log into Xfinity website and watch shows direclty. Admittedly I only tried it a few times and I probably didn't hit enough videos to cover all three video playback formats.

I'm guessing that you're hitting Comcast's ceiling of three registered playback devices. If you go into your profile & see 3 devices, delete one.

I appreciate the suggestion but I have no registered playback devices, the GTab would be the first.

I tried going to the website and watching movies, but they never loaded. Min got past the authorization part. I am running Vegan GB.
What ROM are you using?

cm7 errors too
I switched from Vegan to CM today to get netflix working. Was happy to get Netflix, but get errors galore still with xfinity tv.... Anyone found a way?

Error is invalid IMEI problem
I finally got the Xfinity TV app Working! The problem was an invalid IMEI error (although it didn't say that). I found a link to a solution for the Nook Color here: http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/188...91598__hl__xfinity__fromsearch__1#entry191598
Now working on Bottle of Smoke a6.0

[Q] Market killing 3G connection

I have a weird problem with my AT&T galaxy tab. For the past couple of days, each time I launch the Market, my 3G connection is killed and I can no longer access the network, and of course I cannot access the market. As soon as I kill the market app, my 3G connection comes back.
I cleared the data and cache of the market app, did not solve the issue. When I uninstall the updates of the market app (reverting to the original ugly market app), everything works fine, but it then automatically updates itself and the problem comes back. I assume this is a problem with the market app itself and not my device (hopefully).
Has anybody else experienced this issue and found a fix?
I am running stock ROM with third party apps installed enables (done it with superoneclick: root, enable third party apps, unroot).
I have the amazon app store installed, so I can still buy new apps, but I would like to be able to get updates for the apps I have purchased from the market.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

What modem are you using? Does the problem happen when you are using wifi? I think the JMF modem that is available for overcome rom is weak and I get many dropped connections and slow data speeds.

I am using the stock ROM and stock modem, I have never flashed a ROM. It only happens with the Market App.

Same issue for me. I have a rooted stock rom.

I have the same issue. Also stock rom and rooted. When WIFI is on (and connected) the market works fine.

I have been beating my head against this since I bought one. I am rooted using....I think I used Super One Click......stock everything else with non-market apps enabled. I originally thought that Root had broken it; however, if I unrooted, reset to factory, I still had the issue.
After many hours at the ATT store and on the phone (and swapping the device once and SIM card twice) I had an epiphany. a Factory Reset does NOT wipe the Internal SD like I thought it did. It leaves /mnt/sdcard/ intact. So, just for kicks, I began looking at my folders here. I MAY have discovered something. Market started working after I restored this folder to it's factory content (deleted any folders having to do with Apps in general).
I can typically hold power, deactivate Data connection, wait a few seconds, re-enable, and I get 3g back (at least for browser and other apps, Market still fails).
I have PSX4Droid installed (PSX Emulator if you don't know). There is a folder here named /.psx4droid, so I renamed it to /psx4droid (If I remember correctly, doesn't the "." hide the folder......too long since Linux class). I then deactivated/reactivated my data, and the Market started working properly.
I am not sure if it has to do SPECIFICALLY with psx4droid or just the "Hidden" folder in general, but now my Market works. I have 2 more folders in this location (/.downloadTemp and /.FileExpert) that may/may not cause any problems. I will post my findings.
.....Okay, so I'm going to type what I write now....Market just failed. Now I'm renaming /.FileExpert....Let's see what happens......
Damn. Still fails. But I'm tellin' ya. There is something in this folder causing it.
Or maybe some app is causing it to break......I have Amazon App store installed, what about you guys?

I do have Amazon App installed.
Anybody with an AT&T Tab not having the issue?

Same issue here. I had the Amazon Appstore installed but uninstalled it probably a week afterwards. Rooted running stock, everytime I go into the market it crashes the 3g. I found a folder in sdcard/android/data that had a bunch of appstore files in it. I deleted that and still having the same issue. I have removed all 3rd party apps so I have no idea what is triggering this. Please help.
P.S. I can access the market on WiFi

This also happens to be sometimes, if you tap wifi on then off again your 3g should come back and work fine.
swyped from a galaxy far far away...

Unfortunately what you proposed did not work. The market is killing the network connection each and every time. The network connection only comes back when the market app is not active anymore.
Since everything works fine when the market upgrades are uninstalled, I really think it is a bug in the newer version of market. Hopefully, the next update will fix this.
Maybe when Gingerbread is out!

I'm thinking this has more to do with us having installed amazon appstore before it was supposed to be. Somebody is mad at us

Has anyone made any progress on this situation?
Sent from my SGH-I987 using XDA App

I really wish I would have made more progress. After all the trouble I had with the device with this issue, I was seriously monitoring the apps I installed and then testing the Market. I gave up after a while since I am on Wifi 90% of the time and hardly ever do I access the Market while driving. I still have a feeling that something in /mnt/sdcard is causing it. Like I had mentioned, I could wipe back to factory and the problem was still there. I seem to remember that it only started working proper after I had cleared this location of crap. I would think that a Market update would see a larger group of affected tabs than just a handful of us. This doesn't seem to be a widespread issue.
That being said......I have decided to move on to Gingerbread. Maybe that'll fix it

Hey guys, try this. Worked for me and my Data problems with Gingerbread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13751694&postcount=6
Basically create a new APN inside Settings -> Wireless and Networks -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names. Only set the APN to "Broadband," save it (Menu button) and select the radio button for it. Instantly fixed my data issues.

Thank for the tip. Unfortunately, it did not work for me. I am running stock 2.2 and waiting for the official 2.3 update from AT&T.

Good Luck. I thought about waiting for the official.....but I also have a Captivate. We didn't get 2.2 until MONTHS after the rest of the world (I think it was like 5 or 6 months later). I didn't want to wait that long again.

Could you please report if the problem fixed with Gingerbread ?

At first I didn't have ANY cellular data until I created a new APN mentioned in the tagged thread (APN Broadband). Now I have no issues with Market. I wish I could trust AT&T to release Gingerbread in a timely fashion, but I know better. So instead, I flashed Overcome.
P.S. I really can't enough of the CRT lock animation......damn I'm such a geek....

[Q] Internal Service Error - Lack of network....

Several months ago I installed CM10 on my Nook HD+ and for the most part everything runs perfectly.
However in mid March I installed a Cyanogen update and very soon after I noticed many of my apps (all downloaded from Amazons app of the day) would not run, giving me the following error:
Internal Service Error: An internal error occurred. This can be caused by a lack of network connectivity, please make sure you have a good network connection.
At the time, I Googled and tried the suggestions I found (although the suggestions were all for other devices such as Kindle Fire). I checked the time and date were correct, deregistered and reregistered my device and tried rebooting.
And that seemed to fix the issue, although I concede I havent been using the Nook much lately.
Tonight I went to use my Nook to play a few games and the problem is back and its even worse now. I now cannot play any of my games, even ones I have played numerous times before without any wifi turned on. We dont have wifi at home, I tether my phone when I want to use the internet on my Nook. I do know there are some games that require internet access, however the vast majority of mine dont, which I know for a fact as I've played them so often with no internet.
So, why all of a sudden, does everything need wifi? How can I fix this? Is it just coincidence the problem occurred immediately after a system update, and if it could be the update that caused it, how can I find out which update it was and can it be uninstalled?
The instances of this I found mentioned online mainly referred to it happening to just one app, and some people found uninstalling and reinstalling the app fixed the issue. But I have close to 200 apps all doing this.
Since I mainly use the Nook for playing these games, its useless to me as it is now and if I cant fix this issue I wont have any choice but to remove the Mod and return it to stock software, which I really dont want to have to do.
Please can someone help me with this, in basic, non-technical language please?
Thank you.

Hello?
Please, does anyone have any input on this problem? Have I asked in the wrong forum?
I asked about this in another forum and it was suggested that maybe the update made my Nook appear like a new device to Amazon and that the error message is the games wanting to confirm with Amazon that the license to run the game was correct (or something along those lines).
I have just tried uninstalling and reinstalling a couple of games and now they work so it would appear that suggestion is exactly what has happened. So I guess I now have to uninstall and redownload all those 200+ apps and games, which is going to be a nightmare with no internet at home.
And if updates cause the device to appear different, then how do I know this wont keep happening with future updates? I am not going to keep reinstalling every thing, so do I just turn updates off instead? That doesnt seem like a very wise idea.
I would really appreciate some help with this please, or even just to be pointed in the right direction if I should be asking elsewhere.
Thank you.

Well I guess no one has any advise or help of any kind to offer. I will post this update in case anyone else has the same issue.
I ended up having to uninstall and redownload every one of my apps, and now they all work fine again, so I can only assume the suggestion I received on a different forum that the update made my device appear as a new device, meaning the internet was needed for the apps to check licenses with Amazon was correct.
With this in mind, I would now never recommend the Cyanogen mod to any one else. Whats the point if updates are going to screw everything like this? I have now turned off the updates, which I would normally never do. When my Nook gets to the stage of having to have updates I will uninstall Cyanogen and just go back to using a stock Nook.
Its a shame as I have been very happy with it up until all this happened but since there is no back up or support from anyone when things go wrong, its simply not worth the hassle.
