[Q] Market Downloads Not Working

Hopefully someone can help me get the market to download apps.
Steps taken:
1. Rooted with Auto-nooter 0.1
2. Ran Auto-nooter 2.12.15 over top of 0.1 to fix some stuff
3. Market failed to download apps
4. Factory Reset - reverted to stock
5. Re-registered NC to functioning stock device
6. Rooted with Auto-nooter 2.12.15
7. Got root, followed all instructions to enable device and extras in order specified
8. Market still not downloading
Can anyone else say they are having this issue? What about a possible fix to this?
When I went to Sync gmail for the first time, my account was already in the device. I'm assuming this was because of the Youtube activation with my gmail account?
Thanks

I'm also having a problem downloading apps from the Marketplace. They show up as Downloading but never download. I searched for the problem on the Android Marketplace help, which offers the following suggestions (go to google support androidmarket and click the download issues troubleshooting page):
If your application is stalled at "Starting download", please use a few of the following troubleshooting steps to help your download to completion:
Confirm that there is connectivity on your device (contact your mobile service provider if you aren't connected)
If downloading a paid application, confirm that your credit card information is up to date by logging in your Google Checkout account
Make sure that your phone is logged into Google Talk by following these steps:
Go to your phone’s app launcher, and press the Talk app
If you’re already logged into Talk, press Menu, and then touch Sign out
Launch Talk again to sign in
If unsuccessful after attempting these steps, let us know and we'll be happy to investigate further.​However, I cannot sign in to Talk on the NC. Anyone having similar problems?
I followed the steps below to Root, after Rooting and Unrooting due to the Market issue:
Chose Complete action using Setup Wizard
Tapped Droid bot
Skipped Learn how to use your LogicPD Zoom2
Skipped Set up your Google Account
Selected both boxes for Use Google Location and clicked Next
Clicked the menu arrow -- settings -- Wireless & connected to WiFi
Launched Youtube, accepted ToS, clicked menu and added my linked google account
Launched Gmail and refreshed
Launched market and accepted ToS.

Well, my limited experience (i only got market able to work last night at 3 AM Pacific) taught me that even if you don't see an item downloading in the task bar, if you go to the main Android Market screen and click Downloads you'll see it there. And it installs on its own. You do see the "installed" check mark symbol though, after it's done.

For some reason, mine started working all of a sudden. I didn't do anything different since second root attempt. Maybe I wasn't waiting long enough for the download to kick off. Anyways, thanks guys.

Weird problem with my HD7, help

I have an unusual issue with my HD7, i live in a country that doesn't support marketplace but my hotmail account is based in america. I usually can download apps normally but for the past week it tells me "attention required. Tap here." when i do tap i get "Can't get this info right now. Check back in a little while." this is after the app goes into downloads and it also happens when i want to update an app. although i can add apps through zune software, so far i only added the 7dialer app and it worked. If anybody has any idea what this is please help, thanks.

Known issue. I believe the work around is to uninstall the app. When you reinstall it, it'll be the latest version. The only bummer is you lose your settings, saves, etc.

Paid Apps Will No Longer Download From Market

Hi
Up until yesterday, apps, whether paid or free would download fine on my device. Nothing has changed my end, but today, paid apps will no longer download (free apps download fine). There are two issues, the authorising payment page takes eons (used to be instant), and the phone sits on the 'starting download' or 'downloading...' pages for ever without ever actually downloading the app that I have paid for. Issue is present whether I initiate the download from the phone or from a PC.
Obviously, this makes the phone next to useless. I have no time to wipe/re-install the phone - especially since this may not even fix the issue!
I can find no 'report an issue' link at google's market to get support on this issue. The apps purchased are past the refund window.
I have tried all the various fixes I found on google (start google talk, kill cache/app settings for market and downloader), try another internet connection, restart phone blah blah, nothing has worked.
Anyone got any suggestions?
Nigel

Paid apps that had previously been installed and then removed will re-install fine... I can only assume that its the authorisation thats failing (nothing wrong with any of the cards on my google wallet account).

Go to setting - application - manage - All - market - clear cache n Data
do same for talk (google talk)
first login to talk then market
In market application - check setting - accout - Fix default if you have multiple acc

Hi
As mentioned in my original post. I already tried that. I just tried it again with the same result.
After having done the above, I tried to buy the app from my PC, Got the following message 'Your order is still being processed. Your item will become available as soon as your order is complete. If you'd like, you can check your order status at anytime.' which is not the norm. Clicking the link within the message takes me to the transaction in google wallet which is listed as 'complete' unfortunately, the download does not auto-start (like it used to) on the phone, and when I force it to manually start, It goes to the 'starting download...' message. The app never does download, market app just displays this message forever more until I go and 'clear data' for the market app.
I give up! Looks like I am stuck with what I have on the phone + whatever I can get for free.
Have emailed google, will update thread should they bother to respond.
Market version is 3.4.4 | Download Manager is 2.3.5

Have you vosited web version of market?
Market.android.com login with google acc.
You will see your purchased appl there, if u can see there, click on install from there, it will start installing to ur device remotely
Try it

Hi
Yep, tried that - does not work. I can initiate the installation of free apps from the market on a pc, but not paid apps. The paid app I am trying to install is listed as having been successfully purchased. Looks like a bug/glitch, but one I am going to have to wait for google to fix.

Do you have the Amazon app market installed?

This issue seems to be with KL3 onwards and region or could be csc dependent, the only fix for this is to use the older market version the 2.6.x

try going into recovery mode and choose fix permission

Hi
Well, I got an auto response from google 'we are looking into it', but no emails since. Tried again this morning, and everything just started working again. Whether this was an issue with the market, my market account, my google wallet account etc is unknown.
I'd like to know the reason so I can fix it if it happens again, but at least its now working again.
@ericshmerick: Nope, no amazon app market. I don't believe this works in the UK

The exact same thing is happening to me were you able to eventually get the apps you purchased its been about two days and the problem persists I have filed a support case with Google happening on two phones and a tablet ans the web market through a PC isn't working either. It seems to get stuck at authorizing the payment .

This was a big problem two weeks ago. I think the CheckROM guys figured out how to fix it. Their forum has a nice FAQ at the start. Have a look there. If that doesn't help then wade through the Rocket forum.

Internet Browser Location Settings.

I have a few android devices and they usually let me go to certain webpages and it asks if you want to share the location and or even the google website that shows the location settings, Neither will show location on my vivid or my wifes but yet on other android devices it shows the locations.
Is there something Im missing?
I do have share location on the browser setting checked and also on location in settings itself with also the settings on the google website but still only shows location unavalible.. but for a brief moment you can see my location there and then disappears in a half a second. Does anyone have a solution ?
Ive tried other browsers and they all do the same thing, But maps and the apps like google earth,google sky,laditude,and all else work perfectly..
Anyone have any input?

[Q] Latest unrooted ROM - No Nav Working - Help?

I had to use my company iPhone today because I can't seem to get ANY navigation program for my Samsung Galaxy Camera to work.
- Native Google Maps/Navigation says there is no network connection even though I can go in Chrome on the device and connect and find things (but no step-by-step) using maps.google.com and Gmail and other network programs from Google and others work fine. Since the Galaxy Camera supports a SIM card but I never use it (I carry a WiFi dongle/MiFi) I'm wondering if it is trying to get on AT&T even though the WiFi is active?
- Tried CoPilot GPS, and it insisted on first installing their offline maps that are 13 Gigs. Wouldn't let me set it up to use my SD card, and wouldn't let me use without installing maps first
- Tried MapFactor Navigation and the free version won't let you enter a street address. You can give country, then state, then street, but unless you can find a cross street it knows about, you get directions that are "in the area". Paid version supposedly supports the usual address search, but who wants to pay to find out if it really does?
Anything that I can do to get Google Maps to work right or some other program that will work if I always have WiFi?

After a couple hours of Google Fu, I discovered the issue was with the latest version of the Maps application. When Google removed Latitude it also messes with the setting for whether to report location or not, and gets confused.
To fix this you have to go into Application Manager, go to Maps, choose "Uninstall Updates". Then go to the Play Store and choose to update. When it finishes the update and you see the button in the store change to "Open" make SURE to open the application from there. That will then give you the chance to accept the new terms of service, and to select the proper location reporting setting.
After that it works properly. Supposedly several folks with other Galaxy products and the latest Nexus products encountered the same issue.
