Help Market Not Working

lexluthor · Dec 18, 2010

My market hasn't been working today at all.

I have the new 2.2.7 market and when I click my apps, I get an error saying "a network error has occurred. Retry, or cancel and return to the previous screen."

I've tried uninstalling the 2.2.7 market and using the old market, I've tried both wifi and 3g and I've tried clearing market data and cache in application settings.

Nothing works.

Market was working just fine earlier today or yesterday for sure. No major changes since then.

Any ideas?

Are you running a specific ROM?

This happened to me the other day as well. I had to do a nandroid backup (with the old market) and it was fine after that.

Sorry I don't have a better answer.

No. I'm stock, rooted.

What's weird is that I can download and install new apps, but the my apps page doesn't come up.

Looks like I'm not the only one.

Anyone else here having problems?

Any other ideas?

Same problem here...started yesterday.

lexluthor · Dec 19, 2010

So what are we all supposed to do?

I've done everything I can possibly think of.

I also tried disabling ad free android, just in case that might have been blocking the phone from reaching the market.

It's just really weird that I can install things, I just can't get to the my apps page.

In the short run, you can use appbrain to sync your apps and it can show you which apps have updates and then take you to the market page for each to install the update. Not an elegant solution, but it works for now.

With as many people having this problem, I'll hold off on radical solutions, like factory reset, at this point.

More people here with the exact same issue.

I have a Vibrant that got the message this morning too, but then that worked 15 minutes later.

I also started a thread on the Motorola support site.

We need to get some bloggers to post about this.

Solved.

Uninstall NHL Gamecenter app.

Someone needs to get google to take a look at this though so it doesn't happen again!

I suggest hitting up the NHL here.

Thank you for contacting NHL.com Customer Care.

If we all fill out the form or call, hopefully they'll get the idea that their app is breaking the android market.

So if I've never had the NHL app and am still having the problem it's not just the NHL app causing the problem. I have tried app of the apps I've downloaded recently and nothing seems to help.

rhome11 · Dec 20, 2010

Thanks Lex, that worked perfect!

lexluthor · Dec 20, 2010

Oh no. I'm getting the problem again. From other reports, there are multiple apps causing the problem and I bet the list is growing. Maybe it's occurring when an app updates or changes something with how it's set up in the market.

Looks like google is going to have to get on this one quickly here.

lexluthor · Dec 20, 2010

It's working again for me. Google must have finally realized something was going haywire.

Hegemony · Dec 20, 2010

Still broken for me.

HookEmHorns*UT* · Dec 20, 2010

Totally different issue. There's probably a thread for that.

That goes away with the Market 2.2.7 version by the way. I'm sure you can find that .apk if you look around.

Interesting. I did manually update a couple of programs. Maybe doing that fixed my issue and maybe Google didn't get around to fixing this just yet.

Easytether stopped working for me for whatever reason on my new Droid X. After going through a few unsuccessful fixes, I uninstalled it and was going to re-install it but Market kept coming up with the "A network error . . . ". As such I haven't been able to download and re-install Easytether. I have two problems here: Easytether and the network error. I think they're related and if the network problem is resolved, Easytether will resume working as well. So, does anyone have a fix for this network problem?

bassjo · Jan 1, 2011

I've noticed the same problem, but only when I've got my wifi on. (it's kind of hit or miss) But with wifi off I don't timeout or have a network connection error. I even tried clearing the market cache but that did nothing. I don't have a clue of what would fix the problem though.

LokiStormbringer · Jan 2, 2011

For anyone having trouble updating an app right now check and see if you have the app on the SD card. If so move it back to the phone and see if you can update then. Another thing to try that has worked for me for certain apps that would not install and and give me an error was to move it to the phone if it had been stored on the SD card then unmount the SD card and do the update or install.
