Market apps not installing - Droid 2 General

I had two updatede apps today. They downloaded fine but won't install. Don't know if it's a Market issue or something with my device. Any ideas?

Ok. New apps will download and install but still have the issue with updating apps.

Usually an uninstall and then reinstall fixes apps that don't update.

Tried that. Also cleared Market cache and data. Done several reboots.

Read in another thread that it could be an issue with Google servers. Has anyone heard anything?

It is a google problem, the same thing is happening on the hero Just wait for them to fix is probably the only thing we can do right now

Same thing has been happening to me. I have just been clicking the update and then immediately clicking on the name of the app I just downloaded and watching the download and install meter and it works for me everytime.

The issue was with apps on the memory card. Had to move them to phone memory, update, then move them back to the card. Annoying.

Moving apps back and forth isn't working today for updates.

Could Google have made changes to the Market ahead of Gingerbread?

Possible, maybe why they're having market issues

Not sure it's the Market now. Since I couldn't get Angry Birds to updated I tried getting it at GetJar. That wouldn't install either.

Ok. Completely lost. ROM Manager successfully updated but Angry Birds still won't.

I'm having almost the same issues. It started yesterday when I accidentally unistalled the wrong app. When I went on to market to re-download it and found it sat in the ongoing downloads going nowhere along with several others. I cancelled them and started them again one by one. They all downloaded and then failed to install. After that they all appeared in the downloads list but say "FREE" next to them instead of "Installed".
I know that, apart form the first app, all of them are definitely installed. Rebooting the phone made no difference. I also removed the memory card to see if that helped. At that point I managed to install the first app.
I put the SD card back in and the problem returned. Most of the apps I have installed on the SD card only appear in my downloads list intermitently, and I still can't install or update anything from the market with the SD card in the phone. I also am having issues re-installing backups and non-market apk's.
Have I done anything to the phone to make it do this or is this a Google issue? I'm using a rooted T-Mobile UK desire on stock 2.2 with ModInstallLocation set to external.
Thanks for any help or advice.

I also get Free instead of Installed.

And now new apps won't install.

Ok. Was able to update apps and install one new app. Still can't get other apps to install. At this point I'm open to crazy possibilities.

It's still the server issues, until Anroid 2.3 is out this will probably be a problem

I hope I don't have to wait for 2.3 given how long it takes Verizon to release an update.

Problem with preinstalled apps

Hi everyone. I have a little but frustrating Problem with my galaxy. My phone came with some preinstalled apps like adiko ebook,layar, google maps...
To keep them updated I reinstalled them using the market. They were all recognized (a message warned me that the market version would subsitute the preinstalled one), but google voice search. Now I have two separate voice search installations running. One is version 1.4.0 and the other is 1.4.6 (it's fiom the market). Is there a way to resolve this issue? Thanks.

Another question would be how can i update it?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
just uninstall the one that you don't want
or uninstall both, then only install the version that you want
some ROM apps, can only be removed after you Root the phone
I think that this is the case, cause I can remore only the one I installed from the market. The preinstalled one it's not even listed in apps management.
Thanks.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
So is there anything I can do? Should I post in usa galaxy forums also?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
And if I root my phone will I be able to remove the preinstalled one and then unroot it to get ufficial updates and warranty? Thanks.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Edit: sorry for being a noob. I found that app in the list of the app manager changing the filter. But still can't uninstall it. Thanks.

Sent from my X10a using XDA App
I has the same problem last year (with an HTC Magic) and the problem was too many apps installed, may be the same problem now.
i had the same issue recent, because i was removing stock app.
wasn't able to download from google android market
wasn't able to syn with google contacts
Flash my x10 fixed it.
Ok, an update,i had to revert re-flash it, no other choice but I recommend wiping your phone every 2-3 months to keep junk off your phone

New Market Roll Out

Like whoa, looks nice. Explains why my phone was showing the GPS icon this morning even though I had no apps open, lol. Sucks though because it auto updated my Skype from VZW.
Anyone know how I can get that out of My Apps since I use the real Skype app? Its irritating to always see it needed an update even though my other Skype app is up to date.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
If you're rooted you can move the Skype apk to another directory, rename it, or freeze it.
Titanium backup pro (if you are rooted, you should have this app) can freeze, remove, rename bloat.
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
I second Titanium Pro if rooted, super simple.
For some reason with the new market I can't buy apparently that cost $$
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Anyone else notice that they can only DL or update 1 app at a time on wifi and 3g. In the past i could have multiple downloads going instead of them being queued. Strange, guess it keeps the market more stable.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Yeah, I noticed that
DROID X running liberty GB V.8
Anyone else notice that no app screenshots appear? I just get an error on the screenshots and the Retry button does nothing.

Slow market

Who else finds the new market slow and laggy? I prefer the old one. Is there any way to go back to the old one without changing roms?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Market always sucked for me.. takes forever to load, and displays a blank page most of the time... complete garbage.
Go to manage applications, select the market app and select uninstall updates .

I've done that but I still have the same market
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
in addition to the uninstalling of the updates, you should also to block the market updater (with apps like titanium backup). if not, your market will update itself everytime.
Is there any other way to get the old market back because uninstalling the updates is still the same market.

as I said, you have to block the market updater.
Can't say I've had any problems.
Market just updated again to v.3.1.5 on KG3. No lag for me.

It seems to be worse for me lately, although given that I seem to change ROMs every other day, maybe I just haven't noticed it so much before. But often I too get a blank page when trying to install apps, or otherwise have general unresponsiveness. I'm not sure if it really makes a difference, but perhaps try clearing the data for the market app? However, I've basically resorted to doing push installations from the market at the Android website, seems to be the only reliable way to install apps for me lately
It's slow for loading the pics (which is pretty much the entire thing), but once those load, it's fast and responsive for me. I as well prefer the old one.
For those who can't use the "uninstall updates" to roll back their market version to 2.x.x you can try this:

Contacts force closing

Im having a serious problem. Anytime I try to add to or create a new contact, it force closes. I can't in any way edit any contact. The process is com.motorola.contacts. I am on stock 2.3 rooted only. I had previously frozen all the social and yahoo authenticators and since had no adverse affects, went ahead and uninstalled them all. However this was about a week ago, but this problem with contacts began this past weekend. Im at a loss. I need to get this working again. Im very uncomfortable with unlocking my bootloader to reflash as I don't understand the terminology you pros use and afraid to ask for fear of being called stupid (again) by some pros. Any help? And please if you feel the need to make me feel like a complete moron, please bite your tongue. Thank you.

what all did you delete???? that could very well be your problem. i know on my galaxy tab 7 i deleted the email app and my cam force closed every time and would not work, put the app back and all was fixed.
Yes, probably your contacts get fc 'cause you deleted the yahoo authentication, and I think the contacts (if some of your contacts have a yahoo account) use this authentication, so if the contact app doesn't find the authentication app this fc.
And probably if you deleted others sys apps linked with the contact app, you'll still having fc.
So, what apps did you delete?
Anyway you can try install the app(s) again with rootexplorer

The apps I deleted were all the authentication ones for facebook twitter and yahoo. However, I don't save any email addresses in my contacts. Only phone numbers. How would I go about finding the backup I have of those apps with tibu thru root explorer?

I suggest to freeze apps and don't uninstall them (unless you are 100% certain it's safe to delete).
I had the same problem as you, but in my case I just had frozen the authentication apps, which after I un-froze them, Contacts worked again.
Maybe a ROM reflash is what you need?

yep i had the same issue i couldnt add any contacts im not 100 but it may have been due. to a app i had installed not sure i do now i reflashed alienv4 and that new 1.4 oc kernal from faux and the other guy and the problem is solved now

I was thinking that too. How do I go about doing that without unlocking my bootloader and voiding my warranty. Im tech savvy, but not enough to be able to hide the unlocked if I need warranty service. Any help is so appreciated.

Most likely its because you installed the leaked Google+ app. Uninstall and your problem is solved.

I had the same problem when I freeze all the authentication apks.
The Solution: Un-frozen them.
If you have uninstalled them, you should get the apks and install them.
P.S. Sorry for my bad english >_>

You can try this 2 ways:
1. With root explorer go to: system/app then look for the apps you deleted, tap and reinstall them.
2. Any way can't reinstall the apps, you may try a factory reset: setting/privacy/factory data reset (using this way all your data will be erased)
