[Q] Market Downloads Error - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey everyone, I have a Bell Motorola Atrix running Bell's stock 2.2.2 firmware.
I have downloaded only 3 third party applications since getting my phone and now when prompted to update any of the apps am prompted with a 16app download que (wherein app names are repeated... as far as the notification tells me). As well as the que, the apps which are being updated pause and cannot be continued.
I have tried clearing market data, removing the sd card, downloading over wifi etc. but have not been able to get around this glitch.
Any ideas what I should do?

New Market 3.x - I have had it!

Ok. I bought this G Tab knowing that I would have to install ROMs, tweak .prop files, NVFlash, CWM, RootExplorer, etc. No problem there.
But now I have had it with this new Market. Many (if not most) applications are showing as incompatible with my tablet even though I already installed them. My beloved Word With Friends now requires an update, but I can not install it from the Market as the new Market believes the app is incompatible with my ROM. That is the last draw as I cannot play it anymore.
So does anybody have a market.zip that has Market 2.3.6 so I can go back to the old market? I have the .apk files but I think I need something that could install via CWM (BL 1.2) since all the apks do not work if you install them by themselves (they all FC). I would freeze market updater so it does not upgrade again to 3.x.
Thanks

Installed the GAPPS and it did not install the market. Tried uninstalling Market and Market updater first and still no go.
It looks like something is blocking the old market from being installed. I extracted it and installed it myself but it then FC everytime it started.
Very frustrating. This is the kind of crap that is going to kill android. It just looks like Google is purposedly trying to lock out aftermarket ROMs from accessing Market apps.
This happens to me frequently. The solution Ive found is to stop the market and clear data. After this is done, launch the market and youll no longer get the error. Sometimes Ill have to do this 3-4 times a day. Good luck.
Interestingly enough, I think I got a workaround. Through some investigation, I found out that the problem was that many apps were being filtered because of the screen resolution. So I started working with the density property in the build.prop to find out if there was a magic number that will make things work like they used to. It appears that I did find that number and it is 160.
So I updated the build.prop line with Root Explorer:
qemu.sf.lcd_density=160
After that I cleared the Market app data and the Google Services Framework data. Rebooted and everything that was previously installed seems to be recognized and the applications started updating again.

Android Market question/issue - Sync?

I hope I'm posting this in the correct forum...
Ok, here goes: Using a Moto DX2, running GB 2.3.3, Rooted but w/stock ROM, Android Market v3.1.5
I have several "free" apps that appear under My Apps at the end of the list under the "Not Installed" heading. These are bloat apps I uninstalled using TIBU. How can I stop them from showing up as not installed? I've cleared the cache and data for the Market numerous times and even reverted back to an older Market which then self updates back to 3.1.5.
Also, when I visit the market from my Windows PC, under My Apps, it shows a handful of apps as being installed that are not on the phone - some never were and some were but we uninstalled - some of them are the bloat and some are apps I tried out and did not like and uninstalled. How do I get this to reflect what is actually installed on the phone?
Thanks.
[UPDATE] I installed the 3.2.0 version of the Market and the issue is the same as the 3.1.5 version.
my idiot market so like to “downloading......” and never start,2.x or 3.0.x also like than ,I am really angry!!!
I might have accidentally stumbled upon the solution myself. I read some where to try clearing the google services framework cache so I tried it and after rebooting, the market app no longer showed those apps as not installed - they were totally gone off the list just like I wanted. Now the Android Market Web issue is still the same, but I think that's an issue w/the site and not my Moto DX2. I also cleared the market cache at the same time before rebooting my phone - prior attemps at just clearing the market cache alone had no effect.

[Q] Marketplace App: "My Apps" Won't Load

Hello. When using the Marketplace app, everything works, except when I try to load "My Apps". I get a completely blank page. Nothing there. I have 50+ apps installed through the market that I now cannot update.
I load the marketplace, hit the menu, select my apps, nothing.
I have uninstalled the Market update, and when I try to load my apps on the old version of the market app, it tells me a server error has occurred, and asks me to retry. I can connect and use the market on my PC and on the phone's browser.
I am running stock 2.3.4, rooted only. I have unrooted. I have tried clearing the cache and data, uninstalling the update, I have reset the phone(cleared data), and used RSD to SBF 2.3.4. I have tried switching DNS servers, both wifi and 3G. ANY help or suggestions are welcome.
How can I completely clear the phone and reset to factory new condition?
SBFing is best factory reset but you could SBF back to Froyo then try updating from there. Also make sure you can view your apps in the market using the web interface, it could very well be an issue on their side.
I think it is a problem with a backed up file. I logged in with another Gmail account and I am able to access my apps. SO I guess I am going to try and SBF, then tell Google NOT to restore, as well as the backup assistant. See if that works...
Good idea, don't restore anything just sign in you could very well be on to something. Let me know how it works out. Also if it does work and you want to find out what went wrong try restoring one thing at a time, after each time check to see if you can still see your apps.
Did you try to clear cache for the market app?

The Market works perfectly if I use any other account except the one with my apps. Can I have installed too many apps? I know quite a few are not showing up on the market web site, Titanium for example...
I have the same problem. When i try to look at my apps it says something along the lines of applications and games owed by this account will appear here and it doesn't show any of my apps. I sbf'd from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4, deleted and reinstalled the market, cleared data and cache, all that. But I can access my apps on the website so I think its just a market problem

(Q) - "app" could not be downloaded due to an error.... Android market issue

(Q) - "app" could not be downloaded due to an error.... Android market issue
I recently re flashed CM7, and after setting up my accounts (I sync two gmail accounts) I can't download apps using my main account. I get the error above. Super annoying that that is all the description given. My secondary gmail account works just fine
I've tried clearing data and cache in the market app, uninstalling the update, but it hadn't fixed it. Anyone have experience with an issue like this?
*edit- the problem somehow randomly rectified itself. All is good. Must have been a google thing or something

Guys, this worked for me w/o changing google account or wiping sd,
1.)Turnoff your phone
2.) Remove Battery
3.) Remove External Sd Card count maybe 3-5seconds
4.) put sd card back in and battery
5.) turn it on and see if you can download again

[Q] x10 mini (not rooted) with Android 2.1 will not update market or any apps

I'm using a Sony Ericsson X10 mini (not rooted) that still suffices quite ok. However, after a while it tends to become slow. What I periodically do to make the device again a bit faster is reinstall the original firmware using Sony PC Companion. This re-installs the latest available firmware for the X10 mini, being 2.1-update1 (kernel version 2.1.1.A.0.6).
The last time I reinstalled the firmware I ran into an issue. After the installation I got to work installing a few apps. I noticed that all the apps that I install keep showing up in the market as "Installing", even though they are already installed and working properly. Switching the device off and on doesn't help. Also clearing the cache of Android Market did not resolve this. All these apps remain showing as "installing" in the market app.
I also noticed that the version of Android Market that I currently have is not the version of Android Market that I had before reinstalling the firmware. As far as I know, Google Play is not available on Android 2.1, but I definitely remember that I had a newer version of Android Market installed on Android 2.1 than the one that is installed now. From previous re-installations I remember that the device at some point would mention that Android Market needs to be updated. The same goes for some of the pre-installed apps such as Facebook and Google Maps. However, this time it does not give such a message at all. Opening Android Market also does not trigger any update at all. Also going into the settings and looking for updates does not trigger any update. Is there any way to force android to update the market and the pre-installed apps?
When I open Android Market and look in the "Downloads" section, it shows a list of all the apps that I had installed on the device previously. When I check play.google.com on my PC, it lists the same apps, but they show as "installed" on my phone. Even though I have not installed them yet. And I cannot find any way to remove these apps from the "My Apps" section on play.google.com. Could this be interfering with the android market app on my phone?
Is there any way to trigger Android to update the Android market and the other pre-installed apps? I'm very hesitant to go and root the device, that still appears to me as a lot of work. Especially since I know that it used to work correctly previously.
A small update in case somebody in the future encounters the same problem:
To find out whether it really is my Google account that interferes, I have opened a completely new Gmail account, and used that when setting up the phone after the firmware re-installation. And lo and behold: within a few minutes after the initial setup of the phone, the market application was suddenly replaced with version 2.3.6. No notification whatsoever, it was just suddenly there. I don't know the version number of the old Market app that I had. Somehow, the version numbering that is used in the application manager is different than the "2.3.6" formatting. The version number that is shown in settings>application manager went from 2002009. to 2002306.
Having the updated Market app, I wanted to relink the phone with my normal Gmail account. However, I found that apparently, you can only sync with a different Gmail account by resetting the entire phone, so that I have the original problem again. But at least the fact that the Market app updated itself allowed me to copy the updated market .apk file so that I could manually update the market after reinstalling the firmware. And having installed the new Market app, it also recognized the pre-installed aps such as Google Maps.
It should have been possible to delete your new gmail account in th settings app and add your old one. Failing that, doing a factory reset would have deleted all the user-data but still have kept the updated market-app.
