has anyone come up with a fix for the new market? Mine just keeps force closing. I need my market back. HELP! PLEASE! I've tried everything and nothing works. I searched the forums and tried all the information given in the those post and got no change. I would try just about anything at this point. I even deleted my browser as suggested by another senior member. nothing is working. any suggestions?
Might help to let us know what firmware you're running.
I've never had any problems with the current Market running Brilliant Corners.
Settings/languages and keyboard/ and set default language to English. Problem solved for me. Found that solution by searching these forums. Might depend on what ROM you are using. I'm on CM7.

Wow, that worked for me. I changed the language from some other English to English United States and now the Market doesn't force close.
Btw - I'm on Vegan 7.0.0
not just a firmware problem
I'm running C/CV6 but I've read through these forums several times over the last few days and I've learned one thing for sure. It's not a firmware problem. It's a problem in the update process itself I believe. I'm not a programmer by any means but after reading severals posts regarding this problem, I was able to see that this issue is hitting all the different ROMs across the board. So if it was a ROM issue then it would be confined to just those users. The only thing in common between all users is that their market was working fine, they got the update, and now their market force closes. I have done several different things trying to repair the problem, but was unsuccessful at resolving it. I tried the whole default English language thing in my settings. Didn't work. I deleted my Dolphin browser. Didn't work. I cleared the market cache. Didn't work. I unistalled the update. Didn't work. Each time I made a change, I restarted the tablet so that the changes may take effect. I would really like to get this working. I was about to put some of those classic game emulators on my tablet and some games but I don't wantto go to all the trouble in case I have to wipe the whole tablet and start over entirely. I'd rather not do that either if I don't have to. Thanks for any help guys, all suggestions at this point are welcome.
UPDATE: I just turned my tablet on and the market is now working but it' still the old version. I imagine once it updates, it will start doing this crap again.
keyboard language
I changed my keyboard to "English US" and now my market works again.
I'm on gtabcomb 3.3 bl1.2
Thanks for this help.

I've been looking for the answer for quite a while, so I thought I should post the answer that worked for me here...
A lot of people are having trouble with downloading applications from the Android Market. When trying to install an application all that happens is that a message "Starting Download..." is showing but the download never starts. For me a clean Android installation (wiped) didn't help, neither did hard- or soft rebooting, neither did turning off Wifi or clearing the download managers and Android Market cache.
I'm not saying this will work for everyone but the answer was quite simple (and hard to guess) in the end. I simply started the application "Google Talk" and suddenly applications started downloading from the market. I couldn't receive any new (g)mail notifications either anymore and that's fixed too!
Hopefully someone will find this info helpful
Thanks! Was having a lot of problem with the market today. This trick worked immediately.
Logging into GTalk is quite a well known fix, but well done for finding it yourself!

Dave

After discovering it accidentally I found some answers that were pointing in the same direction yes. But there are so many people having this problem, and there are so many different answers that the right answer will still be hard to find.
I had the same problem, google talk didn't help.
I found out that (since it's a non-activated device i will be using for development) I had to disable data roaming and activate only wifi to get it downloading.
After that, everything was working perfectly.
It is on a HTC touch pro (raphael 800)
Hope it can help someone.
I too have the same problem. I tried the GTalk and also the connection settings. Tried hard reset as well as clearing data and cache from the App Manager but to no avail. ): I'm really frustrated and disappointed at Android. They should get things working properly before releasing!
Hello everybody,
this is my first post ever. I've been following XDA developers for many years when I was still using Windows Mobile PDA's and later smartphones. This Forum has helped me with so much.
But now Im facing a problem which I cant find a solution for. Maybe this has been solved in another thread already, then I'm sorry that I must have overlooked it.
I purchased and Xperia X10i about two weeks ago. Everything worked fine out of the box.
Then I updated the software via the PC connection to 2.1
Before I of course backedup everything.
After the update I restored my backup and everything seemed to work proper.
Yesterday when I tried to access the Market place the screen popped up and it showed me the loading message but it simply didn't load. The screen flashed a few times then the app was forced shut.
I searched on several forums and followed the instructions posted by people with similar problems.
1. It was suggested that I perform a Hardreset. This didnt work through the method by pressing the left and right key simultaniously and the pressing and releasing the power button. For whatever reason my phone just boots normally
2. Factory reset through the menu: Settings > SD card & Phone storage: This option is not even present after the software update
3. Deinstalling Market update: I deinstalled the updates for the market application but that didnt change anything
4. Using the update function of the PC software to repair the update:
I performed another update through the repair function this seemed to make matters worse. Now when I go to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications I cant even see the other installed application except one UEFA something.
Funny enough everything else on the phones seems to work well.
Details about the network.
I live in Kenya and use Safaricom as my carrier. There were no issues before I updated
I work in South Sudan and use Vivacell. I dont use Vivacell for data but rather use my wireless connection. Up until the update and even shortly afterwards that worked just fine.
Im really confused. Don't know what else to try.
Should I root the device and install Froyo rather?
Thank you in advance for any suggestions, and again if this has been solved elsewhere then I'm really sorry for overlooking it. Please post a link if so.
Update for point 4.
Point 4. was simply my own stupidity. I had a filter set wrong. never the less the market problem remains
using the application from AppPit instead at the moment. This one works fine and donwloads and installs have no issues.
Would love to use the marked though because bit has way more apps which I need. AppPit is a bit limited

Try removing updates on Market.
(solved) ok ive posted this once before amd didnt get a single hit on it...i cant seem to buy apps on the market ever since i changed from orig stock vibrant rom ,ive tried 3 roms now,axura,nero3,and now nero4 and still i cannot buy apps,,when i try all i get is "server error occured try again or cancel,and yes ive tried & tried again. has anyone else has this problem? any ideas on how to fix? ive tried alot of things but to no avail.
after much searching the internet both on and off this site i found the solution,,,very simple....i wasnt signing back into the marked the the same gmail account i orig. opened it in when i first bought the phone,what a bother
So im havng pretty much the same problem but a little different, i cant download any apps it says the download starting but never actually does.. and the notification on top never shows up when you click on my apps it like in a state of starting to download, but obviously doesnt, now this maybe my fault prob my stupidity i rooted my vibrant and deleted some default apps that what prob is my problem, so is there anyway i can restore to original? tyvm
Same here it started off with me not being able to buy adw ex. now none of the paid apps in the market. I've flashed, odined back to stock, did all the suggestions i've read about in the forums still the same error message.
I had this issue as well with paid apps. I went to google checkout, updated payment information and made sure it was associated with my google account. After this was done i've had no problems whatsoever. Hope this helps..
Guys,
Hope you can help. Am at my wits end. I peformed a clean, official reflash via SEUS this weekend as I had made a mess of my build.prop file and a lot of apps had disappeared from the market.
I'm now running Global Generic, 024
I thought this would solve my woes, but several days later, I am still missing a number of apps, most notably the new Amazon UK app. In fact no official Amazon shopping apps appear. A few others are missing too, but Amazon seems a good benchmark as it's new, international and free - no reason for it not to be there.
I've cleared every cache, I've uninstalled Market updates, I've rebooted countless times, I've changed the clock to 2359 and left it 10 minutes. I've reinstalled the market apk. I've even used Root Explorer to check the Market data and the fingerprint is registered. I'm absolutely stuck.
Have I missed anything? Can anyone confirm they've succeeded in downloading the Amazon UK app? Can anyone get me out of this coz its driving me crazy!
Thanks so much for reading and hopefully helping!

Just to clarify, I have waded through various things on this forum for hours - I also tried Market Enabler - I even tried spoofing with my own SIM code in ME!
OK - I've reflashed (again), I've tried leaving wifi unconfigured and just using 3G, I've tried booting with no SD card in case there's an offending file there. I'm really running out of ideas. PLEASE - someone step up to the bar and give me some more ideas!
try my tutorial
Thanks - I have more apps now, but the Amazon ones (all countries) are still missing.
Can anyone confirm that they DO have the Amazon UK app appearing in their market on the x10?
Try and install it from the new Android Market website.
https://market.android.com/search?q=Amazon
Thanks - but all the Amazon apps are greyed out and say "Not Compatible With Your Device".
I have the .apk - but there's clearly something wrong here and I want to get that fixed - both for peace of mind and my own bloodymindedness!
UPDATE: It looks like Amazon are either telling porky-pies or the developer has goofed. I can confirm that Amazon is not available on the ZTE Racer either, suggesting that despite claiming that it is available on 2.1, it's not appearing in the market.
It does work from an .apk, suggesting it's a mistake.
Thanks to everyone for their help.
Hmm I can see when I try to install it, It says that the app is Carrier Specifik.
So I guess you would have to be on the right carrier to get this app.
My mate on O2, running Froyo can get it. I can't get it on 2.1 spoofing O2 on Market Enabler.
Quick update..... having discovered that it is missing from the ZTE Racer and GT540 too, I called customer services who assured me it was available to 2.1 users. Despite a flurry of calls from a very helpful chap over the past two weeks, their dev still hasn't managed to fix it.
Strikes me that this is a pretty epic fail for such a big company. There are threads about it on some other forums, but I was apparently the first person to report it. Shows how relatively few are the people who want an Amazon app, still running 2.1...

I have a question - why is the new market app so bad?? Or am I the only one? I have HTC HD2 and I had like about 4 different android systems in the last two months and this problem is on every system with new market. Its a piece of crap!
It works...but terribly! I start market, it works but sometimes it freezes itself, sometimes it shuts down for no reason... These problems are only on 3.x versions! Its not something that would bother me so much but I wonder - why google did that? Old market was perfect - maybe not so perfect looking but it was smooth and precise! And now - market 3.x is no match for the old one!
I just want to know WHY?
And is it possible to install back the old one (2.x)?
If you are rooted, you can use this post to get the old market back.

You're unlucky.. Market is fine here, and always been fine.

I agree with this. In addition to the problems the OP listed, there is the "incompatible app" problem if you use custom dpi.
Let google know what you think of market 3.x here

Thank you!
There are actually two solutions to the force closing problem. The first is uninstalling the updates and clearing the data and cache under the phone's settings, however this didnt work for me. The second method is by going to your phone's settings and selecting language and keyboard then changing the language to english(united states). This did it for me and it hasnt forced closed a single time since i did this.
