[Q] Can't install apps from android market

I have a Galaxy S I9000M, just came back from repair at the Montreal Repair Depot.
Had some trouble unlocking it to run on Fido network, but finally got that working using Helroz's unlock tool (so, phone is rooted) and unlocked).
Used it for a little while (about an hour) installed a couple of apps, and now, suddenly, I cannot install apps from the Android Market. When I try to install, the app goes through the process of downloading, but then it does nothing. I get no error message, no notice of install failing, the app download indicator disappears from my notification area, and the app is not installed.
Has anyone else run into this issue?
Any idea of a fix? I have powered off/on, no change. I would prefer to avoid having to factory reset, but will do so if absolutely necessary.
Thanks in advance for any input.

Having the same exact problem here...

same issue

Same thing is happening to me as well. It started after I rooted my phone using super one click root.

I also used super one click root on my phone, but the if that's the cause of the problem, then it doesn't cause it right away. I was able to install several apps after rooting, then suddenly I couldn't install anything.
I have read that for some people, unmounting the SD card will work. i had an external SD card installed, but i had that in before I downloaded apps that installed properly. For me, unmounting (and removing) the external SD card did not have any effect on my problem.
For what it's worth, I'm not running any special ROm or anything - just standard Froyo 2.2 (JL2) as released by Samsung for the Bell I9000M (I didn't upgrade, it shipped back from repair with JL2 installed).

Same here

let the market update the new version of maps and itll work. its workin now for me.

How can I force Maps to update?

Just some info guys: it seems to be a known issue. Checked the help in the main Market page: http://market.android.com/support/bin/static.py?page=known_issues.cs .
It's under download and installation issues. Please report it if you're having the same problem so they can fix it faster.

Ok the problem seems to be fixed by downloading/updating the Google Maps app. If it still doesn't work make sure to:
-clear data on the market app
-restart your phone
-update Google map and let it install fully

Galaxyluv, can you tell me how to force Maps to update itself? I cannot find any option to make it update

I am not really sure, mine showed that it needed an update. Maybe you can try to uninstall/install Google Map again and make sure to clear data on the market application FIRST.

After clearing my Market cache, and uninstalling market updates, market re-updated itself, and I can now install apps again (who knows fo how long, though). Hopefully, it will stay and i will stay happy.

Under Manage Applications I can't uninstall Market Updater for the above solution.
Any help?

im haviing the same issue guys, i have put a post up with same sort of problems

gonna try this now cheers

Sorry could I get some clarification on the suggestion jayisgod posted? Cos Im obviously missing something here.
I personally force stopped the market App, cleared the data in Manage Applications (btw the Cache button is grayed out) and then restarted the Market app (Agreed on the terms blah blah) and still get the same issue.
Btw in Manage Applications -> All I can see a Market Updater package but I can't delete it or force stop it (both options are grayed out).
Thanks
PS: I am using Darky's Rom V9.1 if that makes any difference

Can't get latest Market

Hi there, i bought a Nexus S to replace the Xperia X10, and i notice that i can not update the market, i am stuck at 2.3.6.
i went to apps managemet and uninstalled the "updates" and clear the data for the market app but it doesn't work, it keep downloading the 2.3 version instead of the 3.1 version.
In the X10 the market updates correctly so it is not a country related problem.
any ideas???

Download the apk yourself and install it

I wish I could keep the old market. The new one is slow, laggy, having strange bug of it wanting to attach itself to another Gmail I have, and I have no need for books or movies.
If I pull the new out and install old, the new one updates all by itself. I don't know he it's possible to keep the market from updating itself.

Look under /system/app for MarketUpdater.apk and either delete it or change the permissions to 000.
Then go to manage applications and uninstall market update.
Your market will now stay the same

As far as the market goes.....
Make sure you have the MarketUpdater.apk in /system/app. Also clear try clearing data for the market under settings-->applications-->manage applications
And for the software updates....
What version do you have? Because not all models and carriers are at the same software build number.

i haven't rooted the phone, and it is stock.
i am the only one with this problem???
my phone is factory unlocked and it is a i9020a phone.

Its not a "problem". The update isn't instantly pushed to all phones right away. It gets pushed in stages or something to that effect.
Edit:

Download it, put on SD card and install

yes i undesrtand that, but there is a previus version i think is the 3.1.3, and i can't get that version too, and it's released months ago, the strange thing is that i can update to the green version 2.3.1 from the grey one (i don't remenber the version but it's one of the first market available).

3.1.3 was never released to our nexus s

Hi,
I had thesame problem as you are experiencing now. Tried the downloaded version but uninstalled it.
Since this morning i have the official market app.
This is how i got it, maybe it has nothing to do with it but its worth a try.
- go to settings and enable location via.Wifi and cellular
- go to app management and remove cache, app data and the market updates you might have
- in the launcher open market app, accept terms and let it load to home screen
- push home button
- lock your phone for about 15minutes
You should have the new market now. I tried this twice and both times it worked then i disabled the location setting and it didnt work.
Hope this helps you.

@p.pavljasevic, your method confirmed working, I just did mine and got 3.1.5 now.
I stop trying long time ago thinking it might've been not pushed to the phone yet, I just tried it and it worked.

Ok, the wifi and gps location was activated, i uninstalled the market updates and clead data and i went back to 2.13 version (the grey one), wait a few minutes and the 2.3.6 version was installed (the green one). I also tried turning wifi and gps off and no luck
someone says that the 3.1.3 version was never pushed to nexus, anyone else experienced that??

I am glad that it worked for at least one more person, hope it can help more people.
I dont know if and when 3.1.3 was released but i am on 3.1.5 now.
btw, i am on i9023 version.

[Help] Issues with Cyanogenmod 7.1.0

Greetings!
I'm experiencing lots of issues with Cyanogenmod
First of all: Market
Market was downloaded from here: http://wiki.cyanogen...amsung_Galaxy_S
At first run, market was saying there is not enough space for the application, I went to manage applications menu and I saw that there was no internal storage at all.
I thought it was very weird and wiped everything including devihak cache then another issue appeared (previous issue was not resolved).
Settings were not being saved after each reboot.
In each boot I was asked to go through the android market setup wizard and everytime I had to add my account.
After all these issues, I reflashed Cyanogen including the market.
My internal storage gets recognized, android market account settings are saved but everytime I try to download an app, market force closes just right after when you go to the app's page.
This message appears
"The application Market (process com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly.
Please try again".
It's really driving me nuts.
Secondly:
No KIES support.
Yeah, I can't restore my contacts from Kies
Any suggestions?
I really like this Custom ROM.
It's the best I have tried so far but I'm experiencing issues with market, kies mode and makes want to go back to stock firmware
I really want to keep this ROM because it also has Bluetooth support for Sixaxis and WiiMote controllers as I have heard.
Off-topic:
I guess I may end up using stock firmware again.
Is it possible to install bluetooth protocols to support Sixaxis controllers (PS3) and WiiMotes on stock?
Thanks a lot.

Do you have many apps installed?
About the kies trouble, it will never work with cm7, since your phone isn't a Samsung anymore. Cm7 is built from aosp so none of the framework dependencies that Samsung apps needs are present.

None.
I'm right after installing the ROM.
OK. What about bluetooth protocols? Any way to install them in stock firmwares?

If not I would go back to stock and try reflash cm7 again.

Market in CM7 has this known and well reported issue. The solution is really simple too. Just change your phone's language to English (United States). Worked for me.
No Kies with CM7. As people already told you, this isn't another samsung based rom. Nothing from samsung is included here so no software will work either. That includes kies. btw, kies is hardly a reason not to use cyanogen, personal opinion. You can do perfectly without.
Now, back to restoring your contacts, didn't you have an account on google associated with your phone before? if you did, more than likely your phone had all your contats, calendar, etc sent and backed up to your account. Only thing you need now is associate it again and they'll be sync'd back without you even noticing
If not, well, flash back a stock rom, restore from kies, associate a google account, have it syncronize contacts, flash CM and follow the rest of what i said above. That's how it's supposed to happen.
Read something for the wii controls, never tried it though. I honestly can't find a purpose for controling my phone (or game even) with a wii remote

Or use active sync.

[Q] Google Now on Xperia SP [SOLVED]

Hey guys, I just got my Xperia SP yesterday and have been tinkering with it. While so, I noticed that swiping from the home button, to reach Google Now, only Google Search appears. No cards, no nothing.
I have a Nexus 7 and I had an LG L7 (with an updated but stock firmware) and both have access to it, yet the XP doesnt. What could be the reason?
Any ideas would be welcome.
UPDATE:
So, the problem was ultimately my locale settings: I had Español (Guatemala) and by changing it to Español (México) Google Now was enabled in my device.
Source for solution

It normally works but as soon as I got it rooted I mistakes the Google search and this deleted the Google now function.
Did you get it new... If not might have been rooted then had some system apps deleted of which could be Google now.
If you have only just got the phone you can use PC companion or sus to repair phone this should reinstall any missing apps and return phone back to stock

Well, I got it fresh out of my local Sony store, so I doubt it was rooted. I just updated it to the new version through the Sony PC companion and it still doesn't work.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled Google search from the market to no avail.
I'll keep looking for more info, though.

Have you checked if Google now is on?
Open Google search then look for settings there you will see the Google now on/off setting.
At times with an upstate it turns off. Ensure it is on then within there you'll see individual card settings. Make sure you double check them.
