Market web installs from "market android com" never start. ('m not allowed to post links)

Under "My Devices" in the settings page it shows my Atrix, It has a "Registered on" date (today) but it doesn't have a "Last Used" date (it shows a dash).

I have followed all the suggestions on the help page. (log in, log out)

My Market App version is 2.3.2.

Google Talk works. The Market App works. Clearing Data and Cache for the Market doesn't help any.

I'm signed in with a regular Google account. (not an apps account)

Any suggestions?

This might sound obvious, but have you tried restarting it or resetting it?

Yep. Lots of restarts.

Does the market work on anyone else's Atrix or is it just me?

I read somewhere that if you open Google Talk and sign out then sign back in, it should get the market web installs working because of a communication problem.

Empty market cache, and uninstall market upgrades (if any). Had the same problem before with other phones, I do not think this is atrix specific.

Getting the market to upgrade afterwards required some manual steps as well. Too lazy to look that up now though, just google it.

I emptied the cache and uninstalled updates. On the first launch I got the old market, on the second launch it had upgraded back to the new one. I also tried a reboot. Still doesn't work. Good idea though, thanks.

Bump! Any fixes for this? I'm having the same issues. The Market web store even lists my phone being last used on Feb 25 (the last day it was pushing app downloads from my computer). However, when I download apps from my phone, it shows up on my account online.

I thought I was having this same problem, but I was in battery saver mode and had auto-sync disabled. After re-enabling it, the downloads just began automatically.

Darn I am having the same issue. Just got my Atrix an hour or two ago...so we will see what happens. I'll try and keep you updated.

Edit: Mine just started working, so I don't know what the problem with yours is. Hope you get it worked out.

Do you have apps/the market to update only on wifi? And you haven't opened the apps to have them generate an, "I'm here", marker for the market to send you stuff, when you were hooked up to wifi?
I wondered the same thing...

Port 5228

This may not help everyone, but I ran into this same problem.

Each day, my downloads weren't sent to my phone and my gmail wasn't pushing consistently, but by the time I got home, everything seemed to be working again. I noticed that I was also unable to log into google talk on my office's wifi (which seems to be the key to getting everything else to work). A coworker with a samsung android phone was having the same problem.

We worked with our network administrator to unblock certain ports on the wifi firewall. We finally resolved this issue by opening port 5228. Now everything is pushing correctly. See if this port is blocked on your wifi.

The weird thing that kept throwing me off is that even if I switched off wifi and used ATT, it was still having problems for a period of time.
