apps wont install from the market?

---

Just set up my Transformer and have gone into the market, when i click on install for any app, and ok the permissions, it does nothing, just sits on the info screen for the app i was looking at. My data connection is fine.

any ideas?

I have tried clearing the cache and data from the market app in manage apps.

Not sure what was going on, It has now started downloading ok.
delete the tread if you like.

sorry.

Actually, got my new Transformer today...it proceeds to download but then errors out...rebooted...same thing...can't download or update any apps.

same here

Had mine just over a day, can't install anything from market. Google says to log onto Google talk, but THAT does not work either ... just times out.

But can surf the web just fine, and navigate around Market just fine.

So now what?

thanks, Ian

Have you tried clearing data and cache for the market?

Yes, cleared the data, there was nothing in the cache. Seems to be a common problem, and various different solutions work for some people but not others (on assorted devices). I have mailed Google but so far no response .... have no problems downloading stuff to my Galaxy S2 over same WiFi network ...

Got the same issue since I got a failed firmware update. A fix would be great

this happened to me too, downloading from android market is a hit-and-miss thing... sometimes it downloads on the first try, sometimes i have to retry it a couple of times before it finally download, and somerimes it wont ever download at all (sometimes it leaves the downloading notification stuck)

I have also seen this behaviour - apps would download, then nothing. Clicking on 'INSTALL' again on the Market store entry would usually then do a successful download and install.

Solution?

Can you guys try this, which seems to work for me (as in: after installing Custom ROMs, is what worked ...)

1. set you phone into WiFi Tethering Mode.

2. connect Transformer to use WiFi via the phone

3. log onto market and initiate download.

4. should work fine. Then disconnect from phone, use normal WiFi connection, and it should work.

I've had long discussions with Google about this. They told me to open a bunch of ports on my router, which seemed to help, but is not THE permanent solution. I think Google, for some reason, needs a fix on your position before they validate you initially, which is what they get when you connect via a cellphone.

The ports in question are:

outgoing TCP and UDP connections to 443 + 5222-5443 port range.

Note: there is often a delay when ordering something from Market via website, and getting it sent to device. This is normal. Downloading via Market App should be faster.

Good luck.
