My Streak was working fine. It has 2.2.2 Froyo OS. Today itself I tried to install an application. The application showed Starting Installation. But the application install never happens. I am not able to install apps from the Android Market. For the same I did a factory reset and the hard reset. But nothing worked. Still facing the same issue. Please help.
Try going to settings/applications/manage applications/ scroll to and select market. Tap uninstall updates, and clear cache then give it a try.

Don't know what happened. But the problem disappeared today and I am able to download the apps now from market without any issues. Although all my game progresses are lost since I did a hard reset

Any way to get around carrier restrictions? both in the market and out? Example: during early netflix apk version releases posted here, I couldnt install from using the stock browser. But when I use dolphin, I was able to download/install.
Now, looking for a way to install carrier restricted apps in the android market.

Sometimes removing your SIM card and accessing the market over WiFi will allow you to see more apps in the Market.
Any app that you can DL the APK for can be loaded by checking the unknown sources box in the application settings.
Changing the fingerprint can make many more apps show up.
The stock browser may not download some file types and you have found the easiest solution - use a different browser.

Hi -
Since upgrading to 2.1 I can't install anything from the Market... It allows me to download files, but as soon as it goes to the install step, the Market crashes and exits. The same happens each time I try.
Any ideas?
Thank you

hmm... i had the same problem, i rebooted the phone and it worked... sorry...
same problem here, market FC (process.com.android.vending force closes)
Same here. Updated today. Everything is working except the market. But my error seems different. I chose download an app an it just keeps stuck at the download started screen. Any suggestions?
It happen to me too today. It keep crashing on installing process.
This is what I do.
Go to settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> Choose Market Application -> Click Clear Cache -> Click Uninstall, it will ask whether we want to uninstall market update. I go with Yes, and the uninstalling process proceed.
After that I start my Market application from Apps menu and when it started, it show TOS (Term of Services) which is of course I choose Accept. After that my market works again. But I don't know why it happen. Hopefully this can be help for you guys.
hey guys,
having the same problem here as well.
i had to reflash today due to a bad theme, and when i did so, i restored all files via titanium backup, went to the marketplace, and presto, same FC issue as experienced by others.
any of you had any success with any methods? i might just try to reflash again, if i have no luck....

Yes i know that, but if i push comments tab, it is empty. Only
'No comments'.
so in the new web based android market it know I have a device with market running, but doesn't know what it is. I can edit the name but none of the other settings. I tried to load tv.com and it would not let me select it from the pull down of devices on my account. I assume this is because we had to do the workaround to get market on the Archos, but wasn't sure if there was anything to do for the new web market place?
I am running Stock Archos software if that makes a difference.
Some items are protected, some aren't. If an item is protected our devices will be greyed out in the drop down list because the firmware isn't on googles accepted list.
I might give this (more here) a whirl a little later on, see if I can get access to them, but I don't know how successful it will be.
(EDIT - the suggestions that I linked to above will need to be done in dev mode. More than likely within UrukDroid as you need to have root and read/write access to /system)
Yes, it's definitly the "protected"-problem
I tried to install "GUN BROS" but I couldn't so I started the market app on my A101IT and searched for it: no results. So I think this is a protected app/game.
I tried again with an app I know it's unprotected (because I installed it previously using the market app and removed it again) and it's working!
gun bros
Hello,
for finding gun bros again, u have to uninstall market update...
make this clear, in aplication mynager where u usually do the "market fix"
u can uninstall market. but not the whole market, if u got an update for the market u can uninstall and use the old version. depends on which version u installed. there are several ways and versions.
the market fix did not find gun bros any more, but the uninstall update did it for me. even after getting the update again, i can still find gun bros. dunno why.
i had the version with arctools 0.43 or 034. dont know there is a new one out. and i dont know what it downloads (package) so if u can klick on "uninstall update" where usually stands just "uninstall" then it might help u.
ps: gun bros got an update to 1.3.0 it FC . so no gun bros at the moment. installed or not....
i hope i could explain goog enough what i mean.
greets from germany.
how to gain access to the protected apps
if you want to download a protected app just first get an market place if you dont have one:
I recommend arc tools from apps lib here
then just very easily root your archos device using archangels method is the easiest way here
after you get root download market enabler for free from the market and use it to enable tmobile usa market place

Didn't work for me. Still missing apps like Tank Hero. Also, causing my settings to force close, so I can't clear my market apps cache.
Have you tested this on an Archos device? Is it working for you?
I rooted my nook tablet with the SnowballMod root and everything is working fine, but some of the apps in the android market are missing. I have tried editing the build.prop file and clearing the market data and cache to spoof the market, but it still wont work. does anybody have ANY ideas?
theres not some, more like a lot and thats normal cuz its happening to everyone. apps that dont appear on the market have to be downloaded as .apk files and then transferred to your nooks sd card i use drop box and es file explorer for this procedure
how would i do this? how close are the people to fixing this and being able to install custom roms? i need facebook.
sideloading if it is not working from market.

Copy the .apk to the device and select it in a file explorer program.

It's not technically broken. The market should not show you apps for which your device does not meet the requirements. That doesn't meet they don't work, but that you have to install them another way. After updating my phone to ICS, I had to sideload Tapatalk, since it is not "technically" compatible with ICS, even though it does work.

1) Use the web app (it's pretty good, and doesn't have any background processes)
2) Look for the thread in the App section titled "[download] Facebook, Twitter and Google+ apk"
Hi there
I hope someone can help me or give me a pointer. The short story is that Google Play has reverted to the Android Market (v2.3.4) and I can't download anything from the Market.
The longer story is this...
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2, bought sim-free over a year ago, running Android 2.3.3. Yesterday I had a problem with Google Play not being able to download some apps. This was clearly wrong: I had 1.5GB free of 16GB. In the course of trying to fix this (ha!), and trying to find recovery mode, I borked the device further. Google Play reverted to Android Market v2.3.4, and some apps got messed up in random ways and consistently crashed. I uninstalled some of the crashing apps, but I still cannot download anything from the Market in order to reinstall them.
I've cleared cache and cleared data for various apps and services: Market, Download Manager, Google Play Services (odd that that's still there), Google Services Framework, and maybe some others.
The problem with the Market is that when I touch to download an app it readies itself for the download (moving diagonal lines on the progress bar) and then the progress bar disappears as if it's finished. There is no download, and certainly no install, but no error message either. On the other hand my web-based Google Play account says I've just downloaded it. And meanwhile my web-based Google Play account says there are no devices associated with my account.
Given the situation with Market, I can't even download something like MarketFixer which may help. I can sideload apks, but I can't find a (legitimate-looking) apk like MarketFixer to download.
I've never rooted my device, so I don't expect to have to do that to fix this. Before do a factory reset, does anyone have any ideas?
Many thanks
Nik
Update: Solved in thread below
ah darn!! i thought i could help you, up until the point where you said you didn't root . If you rooted then you could just install the latest version of google play

Thanks for even thinking of that, dragid10.
Hmm... theoretically, if I routed, where would I get the latest version of Google Play from? I can't access the Market, after all.
There are a few threads in the apps forum here on XDA one is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1932489
I also don't think you need to be rooted to install it. Just make sure you turn on unknown sources from settings(either under applications or security)
Also have you tried uninstalling updates for the market or removing your Google account from your phone and re-adding it.
Edit:Updated thread URL original one was a closed thread.

nsmith4, thank you. That's moved me a bit forward. I couldn't find a Google Play apk, and now I've got Google Play back on my device, and the web version of Google Play knows about my device again.
(I did try to delete my Google account and it refused me. It said it was needed by some applications and should do a factory reset instead!)
So now it seems I'm back to my original problem: I (still) can't download any apps from Google Play because it says (wrongly) there's insufficient space on device. I shall keep looking for an apk of MarketFixer or similar. This problem is now the same as the one reported here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436188
although of course I cannot download MarketFix to help me fix the market.
Update: That install of Google Play didn't stick. When I rebooted the phone it took me through the Android initiation process (asked for Google username and password) and Market was back in place of Play.
Looks like a problem with factory resetting every time you restart. That is a bigger problem. Google Play will automatically update itself (all update to com.android.vending will).
Try taking the ICS update (if you haven't already), you need a fresh install of the OS. Or you can root and install a ROM. Same thing

You say you "borked the device further". The question is, what happened? What did you do, and what got borked, in what way? If you don't even know, then it will be difficult or impossible to repair. The easiest and fastest solution will be to install a fresh ROM, like Gagdude said.

gagdude, post-mortem: No, I didn't keep a careful record of what I did. The "borking" is a combination of the problems listed above. I'm going to do a factory reset and upgrade to ICS, as suggested, thanks. Will keep you posted.
Mid-point update: Successfully factory reset my phone (Volume up + Power on, factory reset, then reboot). Now my SIM card isn't recognised (sigh).
The same problem, but with a different device, is here:

it obviously won't uninstall the app, just the updates, and then you can reinstall them again. it's like resetting it

yes, i uninstall the app just the updates and all the aplication and install an older version, the newest version but nothing.
bump, help please.
phew, strange.
are you rooted? any modifications or is your phone in its original condition?
try to delete and reinstall google play services or at least clear cache.
if you dont mind: factory reset always helps
//edit: also, what are those apps running in background (the icons in task bar)
maybe one of them interferes with google play.
[just for experimental purpose: have you tried a different keyboard? ]
Is background data activated for the System Apps in the networked Apps menu?
On MM I had to enable the right: wright to SD-card for such bigger files. From the settings/apps menu. It was a separate option, so when I gave the trusted app tick, it was not enough.

Go back and see your video and pause where a Waring comes- it says download through WiFi only. Only two things can be there-
1. GO to phone manager > traffic manager >networked apps > system apps and search for download manager and google play store and see if both are selected for mobile data. If already selected then go to step two.
2. Deselect the WiFi option when appears during download then select continue. I hope nothing else would be required.
