[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

Would anyone know if this is a sudden common problem or any ways to fix this?

Same thing happening to me on my Vibrant and Galaxy Spica 2.1 used the themed markets and still the same thing

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

[Q] Galaxy Tab Market Not Working?

After having installed Overcome (Kratos) on my Galaxy Tab, I noticed that the Android Market was not working properly. When I try to open the application, it says "You must add an account to the device to continue. Do you want to add one now?", and exits the application, whether I choose Yes or No. My question is; is this a problem with Overcome or a problem with my Galaxy Tab? And how would I go about fixing this?

Anybody???

I also recently flashed overcome, kratos but my marketplace is working fine, do you have your gmail set up? I set my gmail up first thing and when I went into the marketplace for the first time all I had to do was accept the terms and it automatically logged me in. You could also try 1. Clearing market data and cache, 2. Uninstalling and reinstalling the market.apk.
Sent From Githrog's Tab

#1 doesn't seem to work for me; it still closes. when I try to uninstall the market, it gives me a warning, can this be ignored?

When I first got my tab, I flashed the euro firmware to enable the voice capability but once finished my market kept giving me an error message that my device was not compatible with the android marketplace, it obviously was so I went to manage applications in the settings menu and forced stop the market then I uninstalled it and downloaded the market.apk from here at xda and it installed fine, I never got the error message I was getting ever again.
Last resort, you could always try reflashing kratos, and just a question, did you restock your tab when you installed kratos? Or did you just install through cwm?

Uninstalling it doesn't seem to work; it gives me the option to add an account and then closes...would restoring the tablet possibly fix it?

Is your gmail working as it sounds like you havent logged into your google account.

You could try factory reset, clear cache and data through recovery mode,
I just can not seem to find any answers online to fix your market problem.

Well, when I first restored the device, I added the wrong account, but never found an option to add the correct one (Under "Accounts" in Settings, there is no option to add accounts); I'm assuming this is part of the problem?

I did a factory reset and wiped things like the dalvik cache; now, instead of giving me an option to pick an account (Note that it was not on the device when I first restored it) it force closes. Any solutions?

I managed to solve the problem by replacing the market with the newest version...but now, when I click anything, the market force closes...
EDIT: The problem appears to have to do with the Tab downloading things; when I reboot the device, the Market works fine until I try to download something, and then it force closes.

[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.
Getting PS3 controllers to work with your phone? Never heard of it.

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.

Try fixing permissions or uninstall with titanium pro and reinstall with play store
Also try wiping the data in titanium

Not an ICS issue... got my ICS LPY update over the air a while back, and have had no map problems since.

Easy, go to settings, applications, go to maps an click it, select delete data, try if still crashes. If it does, do delete data again, then uninstall and reinstall from play store. Test again, that should work

same problem
I have exactly the same problem. I have updated my Note from the latest gingerbread to the stock german ICS. After installation was completed I have noticed that Maps are constantly crashing. Google maps will locate my position and try to load map.. Everything is really choppy and after a while app will stop responding altogether and crash.
So.. at first I tough that it may be ICS ROM bug, so I have reverted back to the old ROM. I have wiped out user data,cash, etc.
I have also tried above mentioned method (posted by baz77) of uninstalling app, but nothing has changed.
I searched all over the internet, and found that there are more people suffering from this bug.
Any idea what's going on?? Thanks. I am becoming really desperate..

Fixed.
I followed Baz77's suggestion (adding a cache clear as well) and Maps is now working fine.

It worked, but only for a while. After I have uninstalled updates, removed app data, I was able to make it work. Everything was smooth but after about one minute scrolling became choppy and few second later app stopped responding and crashed. How is it possible that even different ROM didn't help? I tough that when I set "wipe data/factory reset", it would erase all stored system data..

Problem solved
Ok, so this thread can now be officially closed. I have once again uninstalled Maps and it's updates. Because I have done it so many times before, I have completely resigned and stopped wasting my time with it. My phone has run out of juice (guess why), so I left it on charger for several hours. After I have unplugged it, an update notification for Maps pops up. I sad OK to myself.. why not to try it once more.
And to my great surprise, IT WORKED this time. I have no idea WHY, but it just did. Maybe system needed some time to remove registry settings/kill process or something like that. I have restarted Note few times before with no success.
Or maybe Google has made some changes to update file in meantime, but that's unlikely.
Anyway..
Thanks everyone for help. Drinks are on me

Try clearing the cache and data for the play store. Maybe try fixing permissions in recovery. You could also delete/ re add your google account. If those don't work, I would probably do a full wipe and reflash.

It's still not possible to install apps. I have a theory that there's something with the adress to my "sdcard" in my tab. When I try to download apps it say I downloading, but I could not see any arrow up on the screen how telling me I'm downloading, and no message telling me that my app is downoaded. When I og back to app store it's telling me that this app is installed, but there's no app on my tab.
Back to my theory,the adress to my "sdcard" is 0/sdcard and not /sdcard how I think is normally.Maybe therefore I not succeed.
Can that be the reasen? (Sorry for my bad English)
