market no longer works - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Help!!!! I have been running the built-in market app with my 2.1 tablet for a year now with no problems. About a week ago it stopped working. Market will load, but no programs will come up. I know my tablet is communicating with market because my apps are showing they need updates, but when I try to update it says "the requested item could not be found". I tried loading the new 3.4 market app I found on this forum, but it would not load, giving me a parse error. Any help would be appreciated.

How did you upgrade your Market? If you just replaced the APK, reboot recovery and whipe cache (it'll take a bit longer to boot, just wait).

sorry for the lateness of my reply, my computer has been suffering some internet problems, and have just now been able to get back to this problem. I did not upgrade my market, because when I tried to load the app, it gave me a parse error. At this point, market will load, but no apps show up in either apps or games, and when I try to upgrade an app that is already installed in my apps, it says "the requested item could not be found"

[Q] How do I install apps that are missing from Market?

I'm trying to install Busybox and Adfree Android on my phone but it's not working.
They're not showing in the Market when I search, so I tried installing through AppBrain, but it just says "The requested item could not be found" when it tries to install.
I am using a rooted UK generic 2.1.
Can anyone help?
I did try searching the forums but couldn't find anything useful.

Thanks. I'm a bit of a newb so don't understand all the command prompt stuff. I found a workaround though using AppBrain Fast Web Installer so it bypassed Market.
Cheers anyway!

Android market!

I try to install things from market but it is always installing and a error pop out asking me to try again.
procsscom.google.process.gapps this is the pop out!!! help!
I get this error with much other apps, but after re-installing Android they were gone.
Simply, use the latest build
I got the same error. I then re-installed Android...And it is working pretty fine. I still get it when i download some apps....But almost all apps work!

Madden 12 not working?

It prompts me to download additional content, but then gives me a "Download Failed" message with "Progress has been saved. Reconnect then relaunch app to continue download."
this official or pirated>? cause if its official im not sure why it would do this, id try reinstalling the base app again and clearing any data for it
I asked elsewhere and someone told me it had to do with the Adreno chipset and that there was a cracked app with the "Adreno fix." Gonna download that and see if that helps.
You need to load it to your Android device download the content then transfer the folder to your TP

Google Play Update?

I know it's not absolutely necessary, but is there any way to update the Market to Google Play on the NT? Would it be as simple as sideloading an apk?
I realize the Market will probably function fine without the update, I'm simply curious.
Thanks!

I couldn't get my marketplace to work after Play came out, and I updated using an .apk, and it still wouldn't work. I kept getting the window that said something about needing to tie it to my google account, and when I clicked "Yes" to do that, it kicked me back out of the app.

My market updated itself to Google play two days ago automatically. Everything is working as normal. I am on CM7 alpha12 though, but I would assume it would also update on the stock rom. Maybe you can go into market and do a check for updates and it will update market app

My market just updated, but only after I cleared the market app's cache AND data. I had tried clearing the cache only, and it didn't update. After I cleared cache, data, and force stopped the app; when I started market again it updated to "play store".
Side note: I couldn't stand looking at the new logo, so I edited the shortcut on the desktop to display the "correct" Android market logo.

I am getting the same error of "You must add an account to the device to continue. Do you want to add one now?" and when I click on "Yes" or "No", it closes the app. Anyone have a fix? Already tried uninstall/reinstalling, clearing all cache, etc, and force stop...nothing.
Are you installing a new google play apk or the old market? Everytime i installed gapps after foashing a rom, the market just updated itself to google plau without putting my account info back in.

I'm running 1.4.1 rooted and it auto updated to Google Play a few days ago and I never had a problem. Market continued normally for me.
Only just started this, but it force closes when updating or downloading. Uninstalled through Titanium. Reinstalled an old APK, updated; no dice! Anyone else getting this? It seems that only updating or downloading forces the crash, browsing isn't a problem.
[edit] I think Google is having issues with the Market, tapping HELP takes me to this page;

(update) I do apologise, I must attempt all possibilities before requesting assistance. If this happens to anyone else, have you installed Adfree Android? If so, this was my problem. I fixed this by reverting it's settings and uninstalling.

If you are still not updated, go into settings/manage apps open up the market, clear cache and data. Then relog into market. It should update within a few minutes.

I'm having this problem too. Just happened recently. Everything worked fine before, but now I cannot access the Google Market or any Google-related apps (Gmail, Music, etc).
I used t-r-i-c-k's root for the Mac (including the OTA update block). Its been working like a charm until this. I did reboot the device, but the B&N update still seems to be blocked correctly (software version still says 9.9.9).
I also noticed that Superuser is no longer accessible. If I manually browse to the Market (via Dolphin), it says Superuser is already installed, but I can't find it on the device through any means.
I also tried downloading the Superuser fix app, as well as GApps (through Dolphin). Both said they were installing, but none of them are actually downloading to the device.
So I'm stuck. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

It sounds like you lost root access and need to re-root. The Market/Play Store doesn't actually inventory what you have on your device, it only keeps a record of what you've installed. Apps that you've removed via the 'manage apps' setting option will continue to appear as installed in the Market/Play Store.

[Q] nook tablet force close error after rooting

Hello all,
I rooted my wife's 16GB NT, which had several games on it, all downloaded from B&N. They all worked fine on the unrooted device. However, now I am getting an error with Beaver's Revenge when I try to open it, saying that "the application Beaver's Revenge (process com.TwistedGames.Beaverz) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." with the option to force close, but the window disappears after a few seconds, anyway.
I have tried uninstalling the game, reinstalling it, archiving it, unarchiving it, and it still gives me the same error message every time I open it.
Does anyone have any idea why a game that worked fine on an unrooted NT would stop working correctly after rooting, and if there is a way to get it to work again.
Any and all help and advice is welcome.
Thanks in advance.
