android market problem - Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

why i can not download from market?
it is too bad !
plz someone tell me!

I don't know what exacly you mean, but i have problems with it lately aswell!
The download doesn't start... it say's it starting but it does not! i fixed it a couple of times by closing the market and starting it up again and then go with the menu button to my downloads... and suddenly it started downloading again!
dunno what it is... maybe someone here knows!

I have the same problem, I've tried everything, but still no luck

Same here.
I'm on Dutch Vodafone.

It seems there is a problem with a proxy something on the dutch vodafone service, i'm on it as well, but that doesn't give a explaination why the market isn't working on wifi!

Just use Market Enabler (download from google code) and fake your provider to o2 germany. This way I can download paid applications in Greece It will fix your problem

Can't download anything in the UK either. Been like this since last night.

Fixed it now, cleared the cache for google apps and market.

Talked to Vodafone customer Service. Ita a worldwide problem. Google is working on it, according to the Android blogs.

Hi all, one thing I read and it works for me: sign into Google chat to make the downloads work. Then you can just sign out.
I'm not saying it will work for you, but it seems to let me download as soon as I sign in google chat.

Ugh..double posted from my hero...

hello friends
i think my problem is a little different from yours.
when i click on market icon and then click on applications nothing will happen.
after 2 minutes of waiting it says that : " there is a problem with signing in with your google account " or sth like that!
is it your problem like mine? because i have bought hero newly and never couldn't download any program. neither no market connecting!
if it is a general problem tell me.
thanks!!

I have been facing the same problem. I keep getting a message that there is no data sim card in the device (although there is, plus I was trying to connect via wi-fi) and so I can't sign in. I have never downloaded an app from the Market before. All seems to work great on my HTC Magic, though.

This is just crazy! I wiped, installed, wiped, installed, cleared all partitions/sd, installed, wiped, installed and still wasn't able to download anything. As soon as I started google talk all downloads came rolling in!
Thanks for the tip! You really made my day.

I talked again to Vodafone Netherlands.
A definitive solution is:
After seting up or signing in and using Market via WIFI, the market keeps working on 3G.
After a ROM update etc. you have to make the first contact by WIFI.
Google is working on the issue.

[Q] I am not able to log into Google Account...

Hi I just bought Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant a few days ago and unlocked it.
Now the problem is that I have not been able to figure out my Google account. Due to this, I have not been able to log into Android Market. So, I am sitting around doing nothing with my Vibrant as I can't download any app or game...
When ever I try to log in, it gives me the following error:
"This could be a temporary problem or your phone may not be provisioned for data services. If it continues, call Customer Care."
I am using Wifi to connect to internet. I have confirmed Internet access by browsing. I can access every site and also use gmail in a web browser.
I read somewhere that a hard reset may work, but that didn't work either. I cannot contact T-Mobile as I don't live in USA and have an unlocked phone.
So, I am in a pretty helpless condition, please help me figure things out in this wonderful world of Android...
Thanks a lot!

Why dont you install a custom rom and give it a try?
I am new to Android and I am not confident enough to try a custom ROM yet... I will consider it down the road but for now I need to get into the Android Market...
Any help will be greatly appreciated...
Thanks.
Do you have a data package? Correct me if i'm wrong, I believe the first inital android account setup must be done through the network...
I tried with my network service as well. By the way I am not in USA and am using the mobile on a different network. I have used WiFi and Network EDGE service to connect without any success.
I never got the chance to setup my account for the 1st time the mobile was turned on, as I bought it from someone else (who most probably skipped that part)...
Its becoming really frustrating, as I use the phone for calls and messaging and that's all... I tried the hard reset but even that didn't give me the initial setup thingy...
Any idea or suggestion is appreciated...
Thanks a lot!
I had this problem a couple of times. It wouldn't sync with FB or Google. Then magically one day i had all of my contacts and all of my apps onmy phone, with out me trying to dl them. o_0
Its fairly easy to flash a rom. I was amazed by how simple it was, coming from a G1. I mean, download OCLF, it will root the phone for you. Then download RomManager and come on to XDA and dl the zip of the rom you want. Move into the root of the driectory, open RomManager and select the zip. Done. Of course certain roms require more work, but tis simple.

If only I can do that...
I have rooted my phone using 1-click root. But I cannot download ROM Manager as I can't access Android Market... If you can suggest some other way, I will really appreciate it...
Thanks anyways...

You can always download on to your PC and copy it on to your phone and take it from there. Just google for Rom Manager APK
I downloaded this file: http://koush.tandtgaming.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.4-vibrant.zip
Its a zip file, now what should I do next? I really am new to this Android world and can't figure out the next step...
Please help me...
I have installed ROM Manager 2.5.0.4. But when I click on anything, it asks me to download CM Recovery. I touch 'Yes' and it gives error that maybe my phone is not connected to internet or I dont have space in my SD card...
I am now starting to suspect internet problem with my phone, though I can use internet on my browser... Besides that, I cannot open the maps application nor youtube or any other google based service...
I really dont know what to do now...

Gtalk and market issue

I change my gmail acount for personal reason. I delete the old account. so I wat to remove the gmail account in menu: Account& sync. But it told me to do factory reset. After that, I sign in using new Gmail account, but I can not download app from market anymore. And G talk can not start.
I already create some new acoounts to sign in but still cannot download from market.
I search web and every forum, but dead end. no solution can fix this problem. Every others just find like: email sync, internet, calling, sms, mms. Just gtalk and market.
I already go to SE Service Centre in my country, but they same can not help.
What can I do to fix? Can someone plese help me with this problem?
Thanks
sounds like you need to re-flash, try to backup your stuff, flashing may be a last case senario but its a strong option...
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
I see. Can you point me how to flash? Because I already try to flash few times. but no luck still not works. And I just update again just now and still can not download from market and open Gtalk.
Any better suggestion?
Thanks.
try to clear cahce & Uninstal updates from
setting >> Application >> Manage Applicatios >> Market
I am facing the same problem for a few days...tried everything from the little info on google that was available, nothing worked even not reflashing the phone
I am stuck on this..but just posted the issue on google help.
If i get some answers i will let you know
cheers
My brother has the same issue on his xperia x8, ive tried unistalling the market updates, clearing the data on all google apps. Tried factory reset and re flashed using SUES. Still the same issues, can`t download from the market and gtalk closes down almost instantly.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
yeah. so funny. My wife's x8 work perfect with her email or my email. But my x10 not. although I use her email and my email. So my conclusion... maybe there is something wrong with the phone. But I did not change anything just email and factory reset. and unfortunately my previous email already been deleted by me.
Now my x10 is so lame, cannot rooted and no more powerful app from market.
Please... if someone got the fix or accurate information, please post here.
(If someone ever post to fix by doing clear cache/update in application>market.....etc, I can say not work.)
Let's us all try to find the fix for this problem and discuss it together in this thread. Oke?
Thanks.

Since update to Android 2.1, I can not find "uninstall update" there anymore.
As I remember, sometimes ago, few friends experienced same problems, but this tips can solve the problem. But that time, my x10 never hard to download. But now, it is my turn. But the old tips could not help anymore.
Thanks.
Have you tried to recreate your old gmail account? The one you deleted before.

yes. but it apeears: "username and password not match" (or something like that.)
because I already deleted my old email.
I found so many same case with google. but still no logical explaination from Google or SE.
Tonight I try to flash back with this ROM 2.0.A.0.504 Generic. As I know this is the original rom for Indonesia. Correct me if I'm wrong please.
Hope and pray this can help to fix the problem
Still can not download from market after flashing ROM.
Nothing fixes this problem, I tried everything possible....maybe it is an account conflict on the google server or something...This sucks big time

So you already recreated your deleted gmail account and use the same password and it still cannot run correctly? Have you tried to run setup wizard again?
Have you tried to wipe all your data?
I once wipe my gtalk data using titanium and I cannot access market because gtalk closely connected with market. What I did is factory reset my phone because original flash cannot work. It wipe all my data back to original nordic generic. Well just sharing my case. Hope it can help.

Social Hub / IM app - "Error Occurred"

Hi there,
New user to Android/SGS2, enjoying the phone very much but one persistent problem I have been experiencing:
I am trying to logon to Windows Live Messenger through either Social Hub / IM app. When I try to add the account, the error "Error Occurred" keeps popping up but gives no details. Does anyone know how to work around it?? I've been searching for a solution but really couldn't find anything...
If I've posted this in the wrong section or if someone has already asked the question on here, I apologize.
Regards,
MW
Don't you need a Samsung account to log in?
I could be wrong!!
I did set up the samsung account...
Although I never got any communication on activation from samsung for activating the account but I have the account on the phone.
In order for the IM and push email feature to work, you need to have an active Samsung Social Hub accout. I found out the hard way after having done a hard reset.
First, what country are you're at? I'm in the USA on at&t, if you are in the USA (bad news):
In the USA, samsung social hub is not supported, so I had to download a 3rd party app called "enabler codes" and it changed the market app world region to fool my Galaxy SII to think I was in Australia, and the samsung social hub feature did finally work "perfectly", until I found out my market app would not download any (none) US compatible app as simple as paypal, eBay, Soundhound and so on...so I had to end up doing a hard reset to restore.
I used MarketEnabler (must be rooted) to switch to AU (Telstra) to set up my google chat account. I have since switched back to my original Market and the ability to create other accounts is still there.
FYI Also, running on the AT&T network.

I'm having the exact same problem in Canada using an unlocked phone from the UK. I called samsung's social hub here in Canada and all the said was do a factory reset, which I don't advise as it made no difference. I tried making a social hub account online and I get another error message saying my IMEI can't be used. Anyone have other suggestions? Perhaps I may to resort to rooting and follow the method outlined previously.
thanks
I had a horrible experience in which I switched to the same Australian market and could not go back to my US at&t settings. Last time I had to do a hard reset b/c for some reason my market place was not showing no USA apps at all, simple apps like paypal, fb, eBay and so on...
In the end I had to do a hard reset. and I'm back to step one.
Will give it another shot today.
Woo Hoo!
This worked like a champ for me.
1. Download MarketEnabler
2. Back up your original settings...
3. Switch to Telestra (AU)
4. Input your IM settings.
5. Restore your original regional settings.
All is working great!
Thanks for the thread.
Hey did you experience the market apps for US disappearing?

[SOLVED] Cannot make any purchase from android market

Hi, I am based in HongKong. I received a Prime purchased in US 3 days ago, already updated to ICS pre purchase and with latest market version. However I have been facing couple of serious issues :
1. While I can see all the paid apps while browsing the market but if i try to purchase anything, it given me "error: item you are trying to purchase cannot be found". I tried purchasing same app from my HTC DHD (rooted w Android Revolution ROM) and did not face any problem! HongKong does have paid app availability so I dont think root should be necessary unless ICS changed that?
2. The search in the market seems horribly broken. I dont even get Skype to show up if i search for it. I had to google and follow the link to market to download it..
Any suggestions? Do I need to reinstall ICS? I have already tried doing a factory reset but it dint help..
China firewall censored it. LOLJK but I don't know.

hehe.. well thnks for trying! i wud have actually thought something like that too but given it works all fine on phones.. had to eliminate that option.
good news.. think the problem got solved for me after I did a hard reboot. Hold the power button down+VolDown button during startup till it takes you to the Wipe Data screen. After wiping data when it restarted I DID NOT ENTER MY GMAIL ID. (i dont know if that made the difference but thought will mention it). I skipped the gmail entry at startup and went straight to the market and entered gmail id there when asked. Could start to purchase apps fine now
Hope it helps anyone else facing the issue.
PS: I did a reinstall of ICS prior to trying the hard reboot.. but just reinstall alone did not help.

Having strange problem with google syncing

Before I start- all details about the ROM im using, kernel etc are listed on my signature.
So the problem is- for the past few hours on my s3 I haven't been able to access playstore and Gmail is not syncing either. On my s3's account settings, it shows sync error on my google account.
The strange thing is: On my laptop browsers (chrome/firefox), I cannot access playstore either, but I can access Gmail
I tried a full wipe/factory reset and reflashed g-apps. I'm tempted to flash another rom but I'm not sure whether that'll solve anything.
Can anyone help me please? I'm totally lost- no idea what's causing this issue :/
Nevermind. Reconnected my internet modem and now its fine again.

Hi,
I am having the same sort of issue... I have a galaxy S3 gt-i9300. My google sync suddenly failed. I removed my google account from my accounts and sync menu which obviously deleted all my contacts as well. When i tried to add the google account again it seems not to work. the bar just keeps moving for eva n eva widout responding. hence i cannot access my play store youtube channel or anything else related.
I even updated to omega jelly beans ROM but have the same problem. other accounts like facebook sync fine.

Yea I'm back to the same problem as you again. It was working fine for a day after I reconnected my internet- but now google suddenly stopped syncing on my phone- can't get new emails and can't access gplay either. By the way- do you live in a place where they recently banned YouTube due to that anti-muslim video? I'm in Bangladesh- and YouTube has been banned here for over a week now- and hence in some messed-up freaky way this is conflicting with other Google services like play and gmail I still don't understand it- but there's nothing I could do but to wait till the ban is uplifted. I could now access gmail and gplay on my pc - but they load very slowly- and gmail always show a ''connection failed'' error after a while- but thankfully gives me some time to quickly read my emails. This sucks indeed I wasn't really bothered when I learnt they're banning YouTube in my place- but just cannot deal without gmail and play on my phone!!
Is Youtube banned in your country? If so this is the same issue that many others are facing! Please confirm!!!
sync is not working for me either :S [ICS]
