Help my Market has died. closes right after open (NOT "force close")

[obe]

Starting today, whenever I open the Market application, its window appears and immediately disappears. It doesn't say anything about a force close - just disappears.

I tried connecting to Wifi and disconnecting from Wifi.
Connecting to mobile internet and disconnecting from it.
Shutting down the phone multiple times.
Doing it will charging and while not charging.
Nothing works.
It keeps happening.

Ideas, anyone?

Try this for me: open up Google Talk, sign out, then try the market again. If that still doesn't work, sign back into Talk and then try the market.

Not wanting to state an obvious thing but have you got a task killer enabled that this is on the list to auto-kill? Just a thought! If not and above doesnt work maybe a factory reset is in order, just make sure you have your apps/media/contacts backed up.

hmm... i'm sorry to say that I don't have Google Talk. I have "Google Talk Service", but no Google Talk. no GTalk either. could it be that i removed it? i don't remember... in fact i've never used it in my life...

should i download it and then try? can i even get it without Market..?

thanks!

i don't think that's the case. i have a task manager application i downloaded and i've definitely not put it on any auto-kill list there... i haven't downloaded any other task managers and AFAIK there is no built-in way to do such a thing so i guess that's not it...

i figured i might have to factory-reset but it's a pain...

It should show up on your app drawer simply as "Talk." Doubt you have removed it, since it comes preloaded with the OS and can't be uninstalled without root access.

What task manager are you using?

Sounds like that's your cause.

it's called "Task Manager 1.11.9", by Wing Tseng, and i don't think it's related.
it's also happening while the task manager is not running...

Any apps installed when it started?

Have you uninstalled the task manager as a test?

i haven't uninstalled the task manager but i really don't think it's related, i've had it for ages, and i don't even think if has this kind of auto-stop feature... especially when it's not running

as for other programs - i didn't download anything, but i was playing with android's SDK's examples and installing and modifying some of that stuff, mostly playing with their sample IME, but i uninstalled everything later, and i've also done this kind of stuff before and it didn't cause problems...

Does the market die after a boot without opening the task killer? Does the task killer auto load at boot? Have you ensured core apps are whitelisted?

1. Market dies after boot without opening the tasks manager
2. tasks manager does NOT auto-start
3. not sure what you mean by "whitelisted"... whitelisted where? in the tasks manager? i don't think it has this feature and either way it's not running...

Then sounds like a factory reset is your only option.

Basically I.was.having this exact same problem on my rooted HTC Droid inc 2. I just figured.it out so I have titanium back up app. And I went threw all of my list programs.in this app and all the programs that were highlighted in blue I noticed were.the ones that weren't working on my.phone, my alarm, music and android market weren't working and also Google framework something was highlighted. So I clicked on each one and there is an option to freeze or.in freeze.and there it was . All of my apps are.working again. Actually my market wasn't highlighted but i think my problem had something to do with this googleframework. Program. I hope this helps some one.

Same Problem here and I don't know what to do. I can't install any new applications (

You can try flashing Google Apps file to see if the Market returns.

Via settings>applications>manage applications>all select the market/Google play & clear cache, clear data & uninstall updates. Then reopen the market app.

Wouldn't you have to reinstall the market updates upon launching ?

They would reinstall themselves but you would be starting again with a clean sheet - no corrupt data.

Oh ya, forgotten about that
