[Q] Apps stuck in market

I have two games stuck in market download. "Sniper" and "ScooterHero". They are always showing as 0% downloading. If I try to cancel them, market FCs. I tried uninstalling them and then going back to market, same thing. Before I attempt a reflash of gapps and/or ROM, is there anything else to try?

I had a similar problem twotwo of my apps kept downloading. What you have to do is clear data on the market. Go to setting applications manage applications then click market and clear data. It should take like two days and a couple reboots of your phone. But after that it should be fine.

What he said ^

cleared and didnt 'even reboot. seems to have fixed the problem. updating all now.
How come I don't see maps requiring an update? I haven't done an update all because of said bug and I know that new Maps 5.0 was released. Do I need to reflash a new gapps for the new maps?

nvm. popped up eventually. thanks guys

Market doesn't show "My Apps"

So today the Android Market stop showing the My Apps page for me. Just a grey screen. I have tried everything short of wiping the device. Any ideas?

So I finally tried wiping the device twice and the My Apps page will show until the latest version of Market automatically installs and then grey screen again...

i have the same issue. D2G

Which ROM do you have?

btw, why doesn't our market have "update all" like on HTC phones?

Same annoying bug. Tried EVERYTHING (including a wipe, clearing market data, force stopping, uninstalling updates, clear data on google framework. Sent a support ticket in to google, no news yet... Looks like it isn't authenticating me.

are you running stock ROM?

Mine does if I have more than one update - as the market always has had since Froyo. (Unless one of the updates has changed permissions - those you must approve one by one.)

Stock rom, still nothing from google. Seems like the server flakes out when trying to verify my device. No fancy hacks really. Wish I knew why. Tried everything I can think of so far. Even did a wipe and no go. Irritating to say the least.

Same boat here. Stock rooted, all bloat installed. Only mods are the atrix camera and modified local hosts file. I even reverted the local hosts file but got nowhere. The only other market I have is amazon and it does not matter if it is installed or not. It also does not matter which version of the market I have installed.

Just noticed the same problem here
I tried installing the camera app from the leaked version but it didn't go through, so when I renamed the original stock camera app back I noticed it stopped working.
Currently I have the my apps screen spinning.
I've got an XT860.

Same problem here
Same problem here. Stock, rooted. My Apps has had a blank screen for days. Cleared Market data and cache. No help.
I don't know who to even contact for support. Any thoughts?

Have any of you tried this:
settings->applications->manage applications
Find "Market" and tap it
If there is one, tap the button at the top "Uninstall updates"
Does that fix this problem?

Safebloat the culprit??
Same issue here! Just started today, the same day i installed safebloat!
Are any of you guys running safebloat? Did this bug appear right after switching from the bootstrap to the safebloat?

Not running safebloat. Currently nothing frozen or removed.

I found that if you take out your SD and clean market/storage service fixes. Bad news is when you put back SD, it breaks again.

I just checked mine, all's good. There's got to be a common factor here... just needs to be found

Just a thought.
Make sure everything in your google account page is set to sync.
Settings->accounts-> you gmail account.
Try the online market. Sign in and see if your apps show up there. If it does, would say it something on phone, if not something with the account.
Hope it helps

I have 2 Accounts ... one account shows the apps ... the other jumps to a screen where i can select Apps or Games ... pressing one of these buttons brings me back to a new instance of a market ... not displaying the apps or games.
Strange ... have newest version of market ... i can install new apps on this account - but something very wrong here ... 8(

[Q] Can't install apps from the Amazon app store

I'm having a strange issue with the Amazon app store. When I try to install apps, they seem to download just fine, but when it reaches the screen with the install & cancel buttons, I cannot push the install button. It's there, and it's not grayed out, but it just will not push down. No error messages at all. Anyone else have this issue or know how to fix it?
My setup is in my sig. I've already tried clearing cache/app data, but no dice.

Clear Dalvik cache.

Go to settings> applications and make sure unknown sources is checked.

The problem persists through multiple clearings of the dalvik cache (I'm a flashaholic).

No problems here...works as it should. Downloaded 3 free apps and installed with no issues.

Yes. I had the same problem with it. When I tried to update, it wouldn't let me press the install button. I only got it to work after I completely uninstalled it, restarted my phone, and tried to install again. That has not worked with the apps from the store itself.
Sent via Captivate (powered by CyanogenMOD)

So I've found a somewhat odd, temporary workaround: reboot the phone. I have no idea why it works. Killing the Appstore does nothing, clearing caches/dalvik data does nothing...but if I reboot, I can install apps again. Temporarily, and then it randomly stops working again.

The issue lies in that we in the Android Community are flash-a-holics. Each time that you flash a new rom, not an update of your current version, the Amazon Appstore will register your phone as a new device. To fix this you have to clear out all of these extra registered devices.
Go to www.amazon.com and click "Your Digital Items" in the upper right corner. Under Amazon Appstore for Android, click "Your Apps & Devices". On the left side of the page under Manage, click "Your devices". There you will find your phone listed many times. Delete all but the current one.
Back on your phone, now in Settings>Applications>Manage Applications - locate Appstore and clear data. I learned this from an Appstore tech.
Keep your fingers crossed but you shouldn't have any further problems.

Nice find !!

Sadly, this appears to have not worked. My wife and I both did this fix on our phones (wiped data, deleted devices, now have only 1 device listed, etc.). Tried to install apps last night and ended up with the same "can't push install" issue we did before.
Meh.

New Update is here! Here is how to force pull an OTA update

go to settings, more, application manager, all, and clear data, then stop services for google services framework....then go into system update and update samsung software...... you may have to do that up to 10x with a few restarts in between
also you need to at least have 35% battery
works everytime for me!
if you notice after you clear data and go to system update, it shows that it last checked i 1969......this somehow resets the que and puts you in front of the line
Although this update fixed my red hues during black backgrounds, it added the purple blur/smearing thing when scrolling though quickly...at least we know its a software problem and not hardware

Ok...
I'm going to put this here as I did in the 2 other ota threads.. would someone please grab a log of the link (or grab the download prior to try to install) if they are getting propmted so we can get this to look at?
A bunch of people talking about it, no one trying to get it?

Not sure how. I would be happy to grab the download and get it to someone.

Depends on how people are getting the prompt.. Within the other thread, one of the three anyway, there was this post by a rooted user that had the fail..
This would be ideal because it should have been sitting in /cache (as we've seen on other devices) and it could simply have been pulled.
The only other option (and it will probably not be successful without root but worth a try) would be getting a logcat (running log during process), then forcing the prompt by clearing framework in hopes of catching the download link when the prompt arrives and tapping it. Pull log, inpect it for link and go and get it manually.

By clearing all data in 'Google Services Framework' will this delete any of your contacts, settings, etc.?

Another possible method of grabbing files on a non rooted phone is airdroid app. Connect with PC, choose files folder. By default it will go to the SD card but you can back up and get to the phone's system files after a warning screen. If the theory works, just start poking around the file system until you find the update and download it to the computer. You can't edit anything with airdroid but you can grab files at least if you're not rooted. I've never tried this but did see it show the phone's internal files when trying to get to external storage when the default go to folder was internal storage.

Got my update, turned off dev mode, force stopped google services framework, and cleared data.
So much smoother

Play Store Error

I have searched and called high and low all over Google and talked to reps. Can't seem to kick this Error Code 403. It is only the paid apps that won't download. Tried all sorts of methods of clearing cache to play store, Google services, Google framework, Uninstall updates, Factory resets, Removing accounts and re adding. Clearing cache in recovery. All with restarting before attempting a redownload on both WiFi and mobile networks. Please someone help. Out of the box it does this to me and it sucks.

Had very similar happen with my Mega right out of the box. Not even the techs coukd figure it out.
I went into app manager and force closed app first, then cleared its data and cache.
Go back out and started up play store like normal. Cant remember if I got error first time, but okayed it and started it again. Then it loaded in and havent had issue since

Update the latest version of play store.

Did you have multiple Google accounts on your last phone? Make sure you are downloading the app with the same account that you originally made the purchase with. I had multiple accounts on my S3, then when I got my S5 I only put one of the accounts back on and was getting this error for a few apps even though GPlay said "purchased". You might also want to check that the date and time on the phone are correct.

You were absolutely correct. For some reason some of my purchased apps were showing on the wrong account under the all section. It went away after wiping and being careful which account I downloaded from. Thanks for the help guys.

Just use only one account in play store. don't do multiple.
