Everytime i go into the downloads section of the android market i keep getting a server error. Anyone else having this trouble?
I've tried clearing the cache but still it persists.
I had this problem over the weekend - started Saturday night, and was back working my Sunday morning.
I also had an error indicating that my device was incompatible with marketplace. I googled it a bit and found out that this had been happening to many devices, especially Samsung devices, over the weekend and that it was an issue on Google's end.
My best suggestion would be to wait it out for a bit. Perhaps uninstall and reinstall marketplace?
I had some issues which were resolved by grabbing an APK for the new market updating and installing this - doesn't require root either so should be pretty safes.

Well i've installed the new market but i'm still having the same problem, hoping its a problem at google's end.
I had that prob until 5 mins ago then it was ok again
Must be google end

Its got to be googles end. Heaps of people worldwide are complaining about this.
waste a lot of time yesterday, today everything works again
It suddenly started working again this morning. At least the new market place looks nice.
The Desire HD has got to be the best phone I have ever had, however I have now lost six memory cards to it.
I am running on the 1.32 version, as I've not upgraded the firmware since hearing some of the horror stories. I'm running the stock rom, and I'm always very careful when connecting my phone to the PC or removing the memory card (I.e I always make sure I unmount it first, etc).
I'd lost five memory cards when they came up saying it had been unexpectedly removed. There didn't seem to be a pattern. I returned the phone and got a new one after the third card, since last night I've now lost another three the same way.
The strange thing is that my friend also bought the same phone, two months after me, and has had the same problem (although has only lost two so far).
Does anyone know what else might be causing this? Any software that might be causing it? I've noticed that one or two of them have died shortly after I've taken a picture or video (like last night, for example).
I have tried to restore the memory cards by trying them in a PC, but it won't even let me format them to start over again.
I love this phone to bits, but I can't keep losing memory cards like this. There must be some reason for it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Wow that is crazy! I've had the phone for around 3 and a half months and I'm still rocking the 8GB that came with the phone. If it's software related flashing a newer rom could fix it.
I would suggest a custom rom since I've been pretty much running LeeDroid a few weeks after I got the phone and recently switched to CM7 and I never had this issue.
Flashing is pretty much straight forward, the chances of bricking are ... well I haven't heard of someone bricking a DHD. If you just follow the steps it won't take long and if you don't
read up enough the worst that could happen is a headache
Also, what kind of sd cards were you using? Brand/Size/Class?
I lost my 8gb card which came with my DHD the other day too. That was my first loss since I got the phone in October last year. The card can't be read on any other device either.
If it is software related then I would like to know so I can try to do something about it.

What are you guys doing with the cards? Is this happen during normal usage with the card inside the phone? Or after removing the card from the phone and use it somewhere else?

Sounds like flashing a custom ROM might be an idea. I have used a mixture of Samsung and Sandisk cards, all have been 8GB.

With both me and my friend, the cards have been in the phone all the time. The only time I've tried to remove it was to see if I could recover the files on a PC.
Also, like I said, a few times it seems to have occurred after taking a video or picture. In fact the second time I had one die, it seemed to be one particular HD video causing it, and once I had deleted the file by going through the PC, the memory card worked fine again.

The same thing happened to me. (mp3 instead of video) Android seems to be pretty picky about corrupt or somehow malformed files I guess.
Sort of leaves me wondering where I go from here.
Even if I replace the memory card, I'm on edge the whole time as to whether it's just going to die on me again!
Where did you get the memory cards?

Most premium memory cards these days, come with 5yr minimum guarantee try returning one of your dead cards to the manufacturer and see what they say? Personally I have never had an issue with my card and had a DHD from november but I have run custom ROM's (mainly CM) since root was achieved.
Ive had the DHD since the first week of uk release, im 3 cards down myself
No dead SD Cards here.
2 months on stock, 4 on custom roms

Same until the card died in my phone it has never been taken out by me, it arrived with the card in the phone on arrival and till last week its stayed there.
I have no idea what went wrong, I went to sleep after using it the night before. I woke up and the phone was sat at the sim pin prompt (so obviously failed in some form over night) when I checked my SMS later in the day they were all gone so I tried to restore from SMS Restore and it failed to find the file on the SD card. When I looked into it more I realised the card was dead.
Tried it on my laptop and work PC, AND my HD Camcorder and it does not register in any of them, its as if the controller on board the card has died rather than it corrupting the data on it.
Cant say I am impressed at the moment, I have the notification bug for SMS, it keeps removing the SMS database, failed to lock onto WiFi in some occasions unless I disable then enable wifi, and now its destroyed a microSD card. Think I shall be off back to an iphone next.
Hi
Have any of you having SD Problems, tried booting to Recovery> Fix Permissions, or used Rom Manager> Fix Permissions.
Take Care

Had mine for 5 month now, and still using the original SD. No problems.
Mine has now chewed through two memory cards however I have come to expect random things from my desire
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
I've had my memory cards from various places. I had the one that came with the original handset, and then when I had my phone replaced HTC gave me another one with it.
Since then I've also purchased the rest from stores, and even two of them were the more expensive higher quality ones. All gone.
I have noticed this morning that I am able to access the card through my PC. The first three times I put it in, I got a message saying that it couldn't access it, and would need to format it. The fourth time I put it in, it's opened everything as normal. When I put it back in my phone, it comes up preparing SD card, and then a few seconds later says it's unexpectedly removed again.
Those that haven't had card issues, are you running a custom rom? If so, what do you think the best choice would be, and would it affect the normal day to day operation with things like use of the Android Market, etc?
My phone is stock and no customization.
Not sure what the correct route would be as the cards have been destroyed by our devices so would this be covered under card warranty?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
alright first things first, no custom roms, not rooted.. i run the stock rom that i got with the galaxy note, 2.3.5.
here is my problem,
last week my phone suddenly became too slow, so i tried to restart it, and it got stuck in the logo screen,
that part where it says Galaxy Note , N7000 (something like that), I am not sure if 'bricking' means this, anyway my big note feels like a brick now.
i send it to repair, they said they would replace it for me, and they also said that they have repaired the issue with my original phone. Well i got impatient and didnt get the replacement, i went and got my phone back earlier today, it was working fine, and as the service centre said, they had repaired the issue.
It was factory reseted, so when i got back home, i started installing my favorite apps. But soon, as i was progressing app after app, my apps started getting force closed, and when i tried to restart it, it got hung , again on the logo screen. Unable to do anything like the last time.
So i will take it to the service centre tomorrow n hope that i get that replacement .
So i wanted to know why this is happening, the only reason i can think of is that one of my apps is causing the issue, the apps i installed (in the order of installation) are :
Gingerbread keyboard
1) facebook (the official app)
2) facebook messenger
3) go chat
4) avast antivirus
5) twitter
6) whats app messenger
7)IMDB
8) viber
9) exfm
10) cubed
11) mobo video player
12)Glam
13)BBC news
14) CNN news
15) barcode reader
16) Espn Score centre
so around the time i finished installing the barcode reader, and started to get the ESPN app, my problem started, the android app market suddenly force closed, along with the ESPN app that finished installing. Then almost all my apps started force closing as i try to open them, i try to restart and the phone got hanged.
Any advice as to where i went wrong??
Well, you may try uninstalling the apps in the reverse order. But I would be too lazy for that. I would either factory reset the phone or flash the newest available stock firmware (KKA at the moment methinks) with full wipe. From then on I would keep the phone close to stock for a week or two and see if it happens again. If it does the phone itself may be defective and needs replacing.
i cant even get the phone to run ;(
its stays stuck on the logo screen
Sounds like you have a hardware problem. Bad memory or something.

They said they could replace it for you why you picked the same phone then??? They did opened it, placed their hands inside of it. Simple it isn't factory phone now, it is a repaired one now. Get a replacement if you still can.

will do...
anyway according to the samsung guy, they didnt open the phone, it was a purely software issue.
anyway, i am suspecting a memory issue/hardware problem, since this is my first smartphone I dont really know much about this.
also, the ram usage is always around 650/800. is that normal?? even when the task manager shows no apps running in the background..
hey, can anyone tell me the hard reset key combination for Note??
i tried the method for S2, but that is not working here

You say you are running on 2.3.5, i am on 2.3.6 . If you can reset and get it running again try updating before you install and apps. Good luck.
So I set up my Wifi only nexus 7 using a mobile hotspot from my phone and everything went okay. But when I got to my home network I was unable to download or update any apps from the play store as I kept getting an error about the package file being invalid. Trying all the trick I could find to fix this.(without using recovery)...
Removed Google account...
Cleared cache and data and uninstalled updates on Google play and framework.... Rebooted and still have the problem.
Anyone else having this problem?
Any ideas how to fix this?

I'm having the same issue. Started yesterday. I thought it was the update I was trying to do, but I'm getting it on my Nexus 7 and my GS4. I've tried everything you've tried, and it still isn't downloading the updates to Facebook Messenger or Instagram.
Im having this exact same issue with google apps on the playstore. Cleared cache and data from Google Play and was able to download a few updates but issue still persists. Yesterday my tablet was going crazy saying something to the effect of a UID mismatch and it would just keep looping between that and the boot logo. Reset to factory via TWRP and the error went away but the package file invalid persists. I had been getting various force closes with google framework, launcher...etc fresh out of the box without installing a thing. I really want to like this device but all these errors are making me regret giving my original nexus to my son.
I am having the same issue trying to download the Kindle app over wifi from the play store. I was thinking that I could take the app from my old tablet and then move it to the new tablet. Is there an easy way to do this? Both tablets are rooted.
Thanks, Dennis
I posted this in the thread I made but I have found two solutions to this problem.
1) Install tunnelbear vpn, make an account, and connect to US network.
2) Tether your phone's mobile connection to your tablet. However, I would only do this if you aren't worried about data limits or the app isn't that large.
These two methods have worked for me and I have tried just about everything else. Factory resets, changing DNS settings, clearing data, etc, etc. Nothing like this seems to work since it seems to be a problem on Google's end.
I had this issue but only with one app...
I tethered with my GS3 and it worked

I've tried every "fix" I've seen and nothing works for me: will likely have to wait for a fix from Google. In the meantime, the Amazon app store has many of the same applications and it is not having this issue.
EDIT:
Sideloading also seems unaffected.
I am having the same issue tons of apps not updating. Error 497 and package file is invalid. Also having issues on my Verizon Note 2 my brother on his S4 on Sprint. WTH is going on with Google.

Same issues here. Only thing I can do to get around it is tether to my phone. Driving me crazy. Hoping for a fix soon.
Having this issue for a lot of apps too. I've downloaded quite a few just fine but whenever I go looking for a new one I get this error for things like Google Play Books and Light Flow.
edit: I decided to turn on my phone's hotspot and connect to that instead of my apartment wifi, and it worked then. This is such a strange issue.
Tried both WiFi and my phones tether, no dice when updating hangouts or downloading certain apps. Ughhhh. Such a pain

I guess I should note that I tried other methods first, like clearing data/force stopping Google Play and Google framework services, and then restarting.

same error. tried everything I found on the web. can't even connect to my phone anymore...
This has nothing to do with the nexus 7..
Think this could be related to network setup? I have a static address and I use a default gateway. Anyone else seeing this have their router set up this way?

It's a PlayStore thing.
Have seen reports of devices of various types on everything from HC to 4.3 with the same issue.

Yep. And in fact, here's the weird part.... On phones if you're having the issue on Wifi, try the download over Celluar and it'll likely work.
Weird stuff.
So like the title says, I'm a new Nexus 6P user, and I had problems out of the gate.
I bought the device 2nd hand from a guy off craigslist, after my S6 edge started over heating after I had the screen replaced (don't buy Samsung "edge" phones, I know your careful, but on the off chance you drop it, your in a world of trouble).
I tested the phone, before I bought it, it appeared pretty much brand new, everything worked. When I got home, and hard reset it again for good measure all hell broke lose.
After a hard reset the phone wanted to update to build 19 something. After the update and a reboot, the phone app kept crashing before I could finish the setup process. The only thing I could do is factory reset it again. This appeared to clear up that problem. I did the near by device thing, and restored it from what Google could find out about my S6 edge. I wish it was more of a restore like what you can do in the iOS world, but it's better then what we had before so it's cool. I noticed that Chrome would crash everytime you tried to use it only in less I uninstalled the update. After I got the phone to the point where I wanted it, I thought I was free in the clear. When I started trying to use music apps, they all crash. Apple Music, Spotify, Soundcloud. Then I noticed YouTube also crashed the same way. When I tried to make a phone call, the phone app would crash too... So the phone was useless. I downloaded the SDK and the most current build which I think was 20 something. I followed a guide on here and formatted the phone reinstalling everything around build 20. The only thing this fixed was the phone issue.
I could now make phone calls without it crashing, but I was in the same boat with some applications working, and the same ones that didn't work not working. I flashed this phone 5, or 6 times, with the last time me formatting the userdata. I read that it wasn't a good idea because it could lock me to only 32GB ( I had a 64GB version), but after I did the flashing along with the usedata format, I still had 64GB of useable space, however I still had the same issue with the same types of applications crashing. I tried older builds, same issue (also the older builds all had the problem with the phone app crashing to the point that the phone wasn't usable).
I ended up sending the phone to the manufacturer, which appears to be in the same metroplex I live in. Hopefully they can find a hardware problem under warenty and fix it. I'm making this post to see if anyone else ran into similar issues, and if anyone knows if this is a hardware build issue, that was hopefully resolved.
I'm sorry to be so long winded...
Is the phone rooted and running a custom ROM?
