Hi all,
I somehow managed to break my Market App. Whenever I try to download an app (even free ones). I receive the following error: "error processing purchase".
I backed up my ROM with CWM and reset my Tab to factory default. I am able to download again. However I'm hoping that someone can send me the stock Android Market App, so I don't have to start customizing all over again.
Thanks in advance!
I spent hours trying to fix this and finally came to the solution. Clearing the market cache and removing your Google account must be done concurrently. If all else fails, remove your Google account, clear the cache for the market, and clear all cache and data from all applications and services that use the market icon. This is kind of like hunting a rabbit with a bazooka, but it'll git'er done.
To re-hash concisely:
Be aware: if steps 1, 2, and 3 don't work, step 4 can solve your problem ( it did for me ), but it may cause adverse effects or problems ( I'm not sure ).
1) Go to settings --> Account & Sync --> Click your Google account --> and click remove in the upper right hand corner of the screen.
2) Go to settings --> Applications --> Manage Applications --> Click the "All Applications" tab --> and then scroll until you find "Market". Choose "Clear Data".
3) Make another attempt to download or purchase an app.
If you still receive the error message:
4) Repeat steps 1 & 2 , but in addition to clearing the market cache ( which happens in step 2 ), look for any applications that seem related to the market ( there were multiple services and programs I found ) and clear the data/cache for all of them. When this step is completed, your tablet will reinitialize upon exit. You may receive a notification or error.
5) Restart your tablet, click the market, and you will be prompted to add a Google account. Sign in and accept the terms!!!
Hope this works!

Same here, so far I have a workaround, purchase in the web maket, go back to the market app and then it will download.
Cheers
error on market app
Im getting crazy as I can´t download any market app at all.
The first time I installed (3.3 bl1.1), I got 6 apps downloaded form the market app, and then suddenly stop saying and error purchasing even free apps. After hours trying to change settings now the market app even doesnt open saying that cannot get info from the server!!!
Tried to clear cache, wipe data and even reinstall the rom, but the same thing happens now after just 1 download from the android market, it says "error purchasing" a free app..
I really loved this ROM, but this is a crucial feature, can someone post an workaround for this ?
This happened to me after restoring a nandroid. In the end I ended up reflashing and restoring my user app data from TitaniumBackup. Problem solved. Good Luck

You could try to restore with TTB or uninstall and install a fresh apk. Or make a new nandroid backup, flash an older working Android backup, copy the apk onto your SD card, restore the broken nandrod backpup, uninstall market, use root explorer to move the working market apk to system/app and reinstall it from there.

I had the same issue happened to me. A workaround that worked for me is using the web market. Try that, it should work. The only thing is that it wont install automatically. After downloading from the web market I had to go to the market native app and search again for the app i just dl. Now the market native app would display Install instead of download.
That was the only way to dl the app.
Then I had issue with battery drainage, So decided to flash it back to stock and no more problems with the market.

Oddly I have the same problems with the market even running stock.
" error processing purchase" solution that worked for me
Hi.
I'm new to the forum. I just bought my first tablet. A Viewsonic GTablet that was rooted to Honeycomb 3.0. First thing I found out about it was that I couldn't download free apps from the Market. I could get the paid ones however. I could also download free ones from Amazon. So I googled and googled and read the posts here and elsewhere and tried most of the fixes but I was as frustrated as all of us. So I thought that maybe there would be a newer version of Market that had bug fixes and so on and I found
It's version 3.0.26. I was trying to post the link but they tell me as a new member of the forum I'm not allowed to post outside links yet. Cool. The link was actually to a RapidShare site if your trust them. It was free. It was easy to just gmail it to myself and on my Viewsonic I found it in the Download folder and did the install. Sure enough I'm now a happy camper. First thing I got was Flash Player of course. I want the SiriusXM app but I installed it and log in and get the "checking for updates" that never ends. But that's a different topic.
By the way. I did email Android Market support and they got right back to me and said that they were working on it. I sent them my update that I am posting here.
The Market sometimes just has issues. As others have said clearing cache can help. Other times the only thing to do is wait and try to repurchase again later.

cheers mate. I did steps 1,2 and 3 and market is working fine again
it worked for me for a day and the issue came back again.
darn frustrating
I get no love with the Jamesyboy fix.
Seems a common enough problem, but no solid fix after all this time.

Found a real fix.
Install new market.apk from
http://www.arctablet.com/assets/apps/Android_Market_v3.1.5.apk
and install.
Then hunt down and uninstall the old faulty market app.
To do that, if you click the "Market" label at the top right of the "Apps" screen the system will prompt you to complete action with...
That will tell you the name of the old market app to go find and uninstall.
The Market backend (not your Tab or other device) is the problem. They've been getting a huge response to those $0.10 apps, and it's revealing some issues with the servers.
settings- privacy- factory data reset. then when it reboots wipe data for market. it's been working for me so far for a few hours. it hasn't updated to google play store yet tho, i don't know why and don't care as long as i can download apps.
Market Legacy Will cause this
if you use the google play legacy app to see what apps you have installed previously it will break in-app purchases. Uninstall and wipe normal market cache
Also try clearing media cache
I periodically have the Google Play Store get stuck on "Installing..." when I try to install an app (JellyBean, different tablet tho). I've done Clear Data for it & the Google Play Services as suggested above. But what I also needed to do was Clear Data on Media Storage. I have a large (~40GB) side-loaded MP3 collection, and the media crawler sometimes gets bogged down causing problems for everything (including Camera, which is apparently connected to Gallery, which apparently uses the media crawler). Of course, after you do this you will need to be patient (and perhaps reboot?) while it re-indexes your media.
i see..
Hi all,
The past weeks I tried some different roms (Neutrino, Nottachtrix, CM9). Since I flashed CM7.2-RC3, Instagram is missing at the Google Play store. After updating to the stable the problem still exists.
It's a bit wired. When I log in to the Google Play store on my computer, instagram is shown as a compatible app and I do have the possibility to send that app to my Attrix. If I try the same via the Play app on my phone, instagram does not appear or is shown as a not compatible app.
Before installing the roms I had always deleted the user and data cache...
Can anyone help?
It happens sometimes here. I install via PC or stop-n-clean data of Market and try again and again. (usually 2-3 times, and Instagram returns)
Thanks!! I deleted the data of the Play app and instagram is back! Should have got it by myself
I don't know why google play store wants to crash all of the sudden as it worked fine yesterday and I haven't done anything that would upset it.
I've checked if the app "downloads" was disabled which is was not.
I've cleared cache and all that stuff to no avail.
I've deleted my google account on the phone.
I've uninstalled play store, rebooted, downloaded the newest apk and installed it
I thought maybe it was the new 4.4.21 update that broke it but after installing an older 4.3.10 and still no fix I don't think that's the issue.
I've been doing lots and lots of reboots after several of the above mentioned tries.
I'm using a modded ROM and I'm rooted as well if that's important.
I've deleted some stuff in the root folder with X-Plorer as well but that was way before this happened, maybe two weeks ago?
I've also got SD Maid installed and am using it rather frequently, maybe it deleted something that was needed in the root folder?
BTW, in some apps, a pop up appears with something about that it's unable to communicate with android market. I don't recall I ever had that installed?
I'm at a loss here and I'm about to go crazy or something and I really want it to work.
Try installing it as system app and see if it works.
Hi guys, currently my S3 is not rooted and earlier this week my contacts disappeared and entered factory mode, I had read rooting your phone could solve this problem and planned to do it tonight. Now all of my apps have randomly all gone (including google play store) and only have very basic apps left. I tried restarting my phone, still no apps, I also tried to reinstall the google play store with an apk file i downloaded but the app stops working when I try to select my google account. All of the apps are still in my phone somewhere since in the storage settings it shows my phone's remaining storage capacity is the same as it was before this happened.
First of all is there a way I can salvage this and get all my stuff back? (by a rooting method or other means), if not is there even a chance of getting app data off the phone? Thanks in advance
So after an update some things started failing pretty badly. The first thing I noticed was all my desktop icons had disappeared, then the Google Play Store wouldn't donwload apps, whenever I clicked to download something, it would just shut the app down. Then today I could finally update my apps, opened YouTube and a sign came up saying that I needed to update Google Play Services to launch the app. When I clicked to update Google Play Services, the app store would just shut down again. Also if I try to open Settings, it opens for half a second and then closes. Any help will be much appreciated!
Yep... I also noticed some issues
after watching some Rio streams
-Window manager.. not starting app fullscreen ( settings/remix option/window looked good)
-links to stream started to fail..
-IP 10.* /mac all zeros
-after leaving stream app all the open apps where scrabled looking
Rebooted a few times... remixos crashed a few times
Then.. I decided to emty ''Cache'' under Settings/storage (it showed 380mb )
Now everthing seems fine again
---I have been thinking.. perhaps make a ramdisk for ''cache'' as I have lots of Ram free
--But It might cause problems with OTA updates... if Update uses Cache??
Another..
If you use advancedsettings.xml (setting cache bigger) inside kodi.. it can crash RemixOs
`System updater` doesnt work if you installed on ext4 (using INSTALL=1)(aka no ota updates)
Googleplay doesnt work on the 32bit version
Anyway.. just try emtying cache.. fabzombie
