[Q] Market - sometimes apps don't install

I have this problem where usually when I download an app from Market to my device it fails to install. I'll have to download the app multiple times until it eventually installs. It's annoying and I'm sure I can't be the only one having this problem. Is there a fix?

Its rather annoying.

Might have something to do with the anroid ID thing the market uses. lookup android ID changer

Settings>Applications>Manage Applications
Select the Market, clear the cache. That should fix the problem with apps not installing after they are downloaded.

Missing applications from my apps in market

I own a nexus one, and after upgrading to gingerbread, some applications which are installed such as dolphin browser and soundhound are installed but are not listed as installed on the market and thus I don't get update notifications for them.
I tried to clear data on the market app to re sync the installed apps but it had been disabled on gingerbread
Can anyone shed some light please?
Thanks in advance,

Do they at least appear on the market?

Yes, I even re-installed the apps, still not showing in my apps though.

You might be able to use Titanium Backup's "Market Doctor" function to re-establish the application links to the Market, though I believe that requires root.

Give it some times, they'll probably come back on it's own.
If not use Market Doctor like suggested, that might or might not solve it.
It has happened to me here and there and usually fix itself.
Another thing you can try is download an app, any app (something free that can be delete afterward) and see if that bring the missing apps back.

Apps not showing in Market 'my apps'

In continuation to the minor problems with my new IS, the first being Bluetooth transfers restarting the phone, (here-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1071021);
another issue am having is with respect to apps in the my apps section of market which allows updated.
Since this is a new phone, i had some apps transferred from other handsets and installed, rather than downloading them all over again.
None of the apps are showing in market to update, not a single one!
i have read about this in other posts, where clearing the cache seems to solve the problem, but it does not help in my case.
any idea why this could be happening & any possible solutions?
The only solution i think is a firmware update...

Depending on the apps, they may not be compatible with 2.2, what are they?

Regular apps like astro, angry birds, barcode scanner.
just a few off the top of my head.
the apps do work, and if there is an update available, the app prompts for the same when opened.
however, in the last tab of market, which displays all the installed apps & those which have an update, not even a single app is shown except google maps...

Are you rooted?

could you be so kind to dump your build.prop?
it sounds it got fked on some way...

@dfd9999
Nope, no root, no changes what so ever.
Stock IS
@Hawkysoft
errr... could you kindly explain how i should do that?

Titanium Back up can fix market links… but I believe you have to be rooted for it to work but I may be wrong, its worth a shot!

just uninstall the last app you got from the market.

if the method from lgm_dev is not working:
try to clear data/cache from the market. Settings->apps->manage->(tab all)-> market and clear the data there
Index should be rebuilded when it is started again.

IncS is my first Android phone and i have just got Root access. But after i flashed a new Rom and log on to Android Market with my Google account, there is only the apps i have paied for, and not all the free apps i have downloaded befor the flash.
Is it realy only the paied apps it rembers?

[Q] Market Place

I have a GT and 5 minutes ago i tried to launch Market Place to see if i have any updates, and then, when i reached the Applications Section which it show which applications i have on my Tablet it shows me only Youtube and Google Maps, i have a lot of games and applications installed but only Google Maps and Youtube application show me the Market! I'm using stock version of Froyo!

If I'm understanding right, it doesn't show all the apps you've downloaded and installed, just some? I have that issue sometimes too, and I just fix it by turning my tab off and on again, and the list rebuilds.. If this isn't what you meant, I'm sorry. I hope it is, and it helps.

Right, the market isnt always right, but a reboot helps many things.

You pull out the sd card lately? If yes, try download an aplication who is allready in your tab and the problem will gone.

I solved the problem by downloading a new application from market, and then the list of downloaded and installed apps came back! And something else, before I post here yesterday I did about 3 or 4 times restart and again I had the same problem, but when I downloaded the new application the list came back again! Thanks for yor answers people!

Google Play/ Play Store, Server Error !

Since updating from Market to Google Play Store, I have been having different issues with it.
There are alot of Force Closes, a lot of apps 'Are not avaialable on my country..." and what is mostly making me mad, is that it has stopped working since 2 days.
It shows 'Server Error |Retry|'
I have read a lot about this and it seems like Google has made it unavailable to some countries.
Some other usesrs of different phones, have already fixed the issue by creating an app called 'MarketEnabler.apk" I tried installing that app on my Mini, but it doesnt install, reboots my phone in the process.
They seem to have another option for those with unrooted phones, which by connecting to a VPN server.
I also tried that in my brothers unrooted Mini, but it didnt work too.
I would like to know if others have this issue too and if they can help fixing this ..
Thanks for your time.

Google play have new security features and it checks the app compatibility in an advanced manner in newer version there are many compatibility check which will show most of apps unavailable so please downgrade the version of market

Try removing the update (in applications -> all -> market).

Or you could try wiping the application's data. Settings> applications> manage applications> google play store (under all)> clear data.

not everyone.. had 3.5.15 installed and had not a single server error..

I meant every one in my country.
In some forums they say it is happening in different countries, and that Google has disabled it for some time.

I got a phone a couple of days ago, and Market still not working.
So, it's a country thing ?

reinstall Gapps and wipe data

re-install Google play store then wipe data

Try changing your 'Local' settings to the default, load market, close it, set Local settings back and try again. (if the stock language is the one you're using, try switching to something else)

None worked.
Fortunately Google decided to fix this issue and everyone in my country has now a working Google Play.
Oh and by the way, it seems they have decided to once again change its name, now it is Google Play Shop
