[Q]Web-based Android Market issue

(There are other posts around the forum about this, but none apparently directly related to Desire)
I'm using Oxygen 2.0 RC7 ROM with recommended radio, Oxygen HBOOT & S-OFF.
I've tried using the Online Market today, but not having much luck.
The apps I have purchased / installed show up in the market, but I am unable to install any new apps from here with the site claiming: "There are no android phones associated with this account. Please sign in with a different account."
If I check the settings under "My Marketplace Account" no device is detected. The help only has 2 options;
1) Check your account login (done, correct)
2) open the market on the device (done & downloaded an app to be sure) - Still no dice!
Is anyone else having this issue with:
a) the same ROM / setup
b) a different ROM / Setup
Has anyone discovered a workaround?
Has anyone had the same issue with a similar setup but been able to correct it?
Has anyone had NO issues with the same/similar setup?
So many questions...
Appreciate any and all advice

No problems with oxygen, but since it only just launched give it some time. Probably just a bit busy because everybody is trying it out.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

I have the same problem, but I'm using Leedroid 2.3d. In "My Account" it only shows paid apps and some free apps, which I have deleted a couple of month ago.
I haven't found a solution anywhere. But it seems others have got this problem too. And it doesn't seem to be related to the Desire or any specific rom.

Yeah, looking at the official blog post announcing the release, it appears this porblem is affecting stock ROMs also.
Waiting game!

similar issue here: LeeDroid 2.3d
I can see apps I installed before I rooted the phone, but no apps after that.
In the settings page I can see my phone and the "Last used" time stamp is today but for all the apps the latest time stamp is on the day I rooted the phone (the 3rd of January).
I opened a ticket with Google.

In the same boat - no devices found

I have exactly the same set up (but I'm with Telstra not Vodaphone).
From device - market access fine - and can even see my purchase history in my gmail account dashboard - www dot google.com/dashboard/
But no matter what I do, no device found on website.
Tried reinstalling oxygen (as I had installed the latest marketplace which isn't part of the standard RC7 release), but no help...
Would love to hear how to fix this!

Well, I don't quite know what to say... but mine...just....started working!
Maybe the roll-out has had some bugs or other issues? I dunno. Just checked back and it saw my device. Tried installing an app and it started pushing to my device immediately.
I guess you'll just need to hold on and be patient?

CM7 Market problems since last week

Hey people,
I'm currently located in China and I've got serious problems with the Market lately.
I'm using and been using CM7 on my Moto Defy for months (almost since CM7-Jordan beginning) and I've never had such Market problems before.
So I'm wondering if
1) other users from China can tell me if things are the same (or fine) for them?;
2) anyone have hint/suggestion on how to fix this after reading what I did/observed here?:
First, I'll say again that I've never had problems with Market before; none getting it installed (through gapps zip) on CM7 when updating/reflashing ROM or Nand backups/ none with downloading or upgrading apps with the Market app.
But all in a sudden last week, I noticed that the Market was not reacting quickly. I was testing 111004-1128 nightly (which has a newer Superuser file included) then after SU updated itself automatically [coincidence???], all things broke loose, Market would not connect and give me errors. SU would also alway stay in the "Not Installed" List of my Market apps (even after reboots and logins).
I've then tried to install the Superuser Market update fixer app (big mistake I think now) but that just made things worst. In an effort to get the Market going again, I did clean it's cache and eventually it's data which basically resetted all my listed apps in the Market.
Following all that, I did numerous fresh installs [maybe 10 at this point]: RSDL Froyo flashing and CM7 and gapps installs [with and without restoring old working CWM backups] and with countless install combinations of older CM7 builds and gapps versions.
On August's gapps, Market always gives me the "No connection Retry" even if I can get connected to Google services since my wifi indicator turns blue or green (depending on theme/CM7 build used) and Talk and Gmail logs in fine.
On June's gapps,login seems fine: I can browse apps but as soon as I try downloading something, I get stuck at Downloading 0%... and it seems to put the servicee in some sort of bootloop since and other apps icons do not display until I get "Download failed to install - Try again" and click OK. Market will also FC as soon as I select anything from the "Just in" sections.
I've tried clearing Market's cache many times, started Talk, signed out and back in, let my wifi on all night to leave Market to update. I've even created a new gmail account and tried it on yet another fresh install with June gapps; nothing works and this drive me nutts!!
I can go on my desktop, use a VPN service to log in to my Market account and install something from there; it will be pushed on my phone alsmost right away. But again I can't install anything from the phone no matter what.
That would be fine with me, but that means that for any special apps that otherwise would require me to use Market Enabler, I will not be able to do it from the desktop either.
It's not a question of having DroidWall or anything else I've installed blocking something out; like I wrote; I've tried many clean installs without restoring or installing anything...: same.
So, has The Great Firewall" finally caught up to Android Market and stopping use of any Vending.apk from withtin China? Are they recent changes from Google? Or am I having other Market setup/install problems here? What's your take on this?
Thanks for reading and thanks for any help in advance.
Cheers.
And PLEASE do not "full quote" this long post (sorry for that btw) .

Market has been blocked by GFW. I can't access it either unless using VPN.

This sounds not so far fetched..
I live in the US, and I see the same type of behavior at my college.
I can get to the app, but when downloading it sits there for a century.
the idea of censorship isn't something I would blame, nor shrug.
Her are a few things I should try...
Use a spare gmail account to test with, and see if you can reproduce the same results...
Try and use that same vpn, configured through your phone this time, and disable any apn/data settings other than wifi... Now try.
Edit:
P.s. What ROM are you using? The cm team has a stable out now.. Guide that a shot...

My OP was a long one, but I think that i did mention somewhere that I've tried a new gmail account with same result.
My vpn use encryption and will not work on defy ;(
Strangely, from all my recent tries at getting gapps to work properly, it seems that I can only use 2G data to do the first account setup. And that seems to 'work' only with June gapps package.
Recent update (on RC1.5):
I've also managed to get my installed apps listed again by playing around with 2G data and installing and uninstalling a standalone 3.1.3 Vending apk as update and undo it.
I was able to download 2 or 3 apps (out of 50 trials) also by fiddling w data enable/disable.
But again, never before, in 4-5 months using CM7, I had to turn on data past the initial Google setup and I've never had any download issues either....
So i don't think that it's related to TGFW and will keep digging...
On 7.1 now but no change..as
I did flash june gapps w 7.1 but never got any setup to do since no factory reset. Will try a clean install tomorrow or the day after...
Thanks for your reply.

OK I finally got it to work after all.
I just tried to fix the fix the problems caused by the new Superuser update after trying a recent nightly in just the worst possible way over and over.
So what you have to remember is:
1- to NOT signin to your Google account using data and do it over wifi. So select "Skip" on the screen showing "Create an account", "Sign in" or "Skip" and go ahead with other settings: your baseband, wifi and especially turning off "Data enabled".
2- always use the latest gapps version, not the June one like I tried many times
3- Install gapps along with a fresh CM7 zip install; not a nand restoration.
4- after reboot (if needed by Defy Baseband Switcher) just press the Market icon and set up your account then
So wipe data, cache and Dalvik and install CM7 zip (RC1.5 is a good one to start with) and and latest gapps zip and follow the above.
Sorry for this useless thread and for me trying to get this working like a chicken without a head
So @ TimelesslyPrecise: if your downloads do not start, it might as well be because you did setup your account over data the first time.
So just start from scratch again:
- backup your apps [with TB, the newest (and free) Astro file manager or other];
- do a fresh CM7 install (no need to reflash Froyo) but do as above;
- restore your apps;
- then just click on the Market icon and sign in.
Don't worry if at first your apps are not listed under "My apps"; they will eventually come back with usage.
@xcjiang: yeah I knew that, but that doesn't mean that the Market app on the phone doesn't work.
Sorry again about that.
Cheers.

Didn't worked for me...
Instead I found cause and solution elsewhere http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1295222
To cut the story short, problem is in way that Market don't get DNS right.
Solution is to install app that will change DNS for every wifi connection DNS to OpenDNS (my choice) or GoogleDNS. I'm using DNS Changer.
Now enjoy superfast Market

[Q] Playstore not working over home wi-fi / error 927

Hey folks
I searched for similar topics but nothing helped
When connected on my home wi-fi I can't download or update from PlayStore. But over other Wi-Fi Networks it works, like at friends home or at work. Also over 3G there is no problem.
When updating I get the notification "Update for "the app" could not be downloaded due to an error (927)
I tried the uninstall updates from google play services and data from dl manager method, wipe dalvik method, log out delete google account and relogin with the google account method. Rebooted router, checked for some strange settings... nothing helped.
Anyone got an Idea what could cause this problem?
Thanks

Every time that I've had that issue, here's what I do. I'm aware you've tried about half of the things, but you missed a step lol.
1) Settings>Apps>Running Force Stop Google Play/Anything else tied to it (I usually stop all Google services)
2) Log out of your Google Account
3) Go into your app drawer, tap and drag the Google Play icon to the "info" to open up the info on the app.
4) Clear data and cache for the app, disregard the warning messages
5) Reboot device
6) Log back in
7)????
8) Profit

I'll give it a try, thanks!

Just wanted to pitch in my two cents on my experiences with this problem:
I have a rooted Sprint Note 2 running CM 10.2. I had no problems with the Play Store when I first rooted and got CM up and running. However, I had to flash back to a stock ROM because of GPS issues. When I flashed back to CM (via nandroid restore), Play Store was returning the error: "Error retrieving information from the server [RPC:S-5:AEC-0]."
So I deleted Play Store data and restarted. Then, strangely enough, when I logged back in, the Play Store did not have anything in "My Apps" or "Installed Apps," and when I tried to download anything, now it was returning "download error (927)."
So then, I deleted Play Store and Google services data and tried again. No good. So then, I cleared the Play Store and Google Services data, booted into recovery, and flashed gapps again (e.g. a clean install of Play Store). Still got error 927. I then tried switching google accounts on Play Store - still no luck.
As I was still in the office at this point, I gave up and decided to go home to try later. When I came above ground on the subway, I noticed that Play Store was automatically updating some of my apps with no problems.
In conclusion, I have no idea which solution - or combination of solutions - worked, but the problem was solved. Here is a list of every step I took:
1. Deleted Play Store and Google Services data in Apps
2. Reinstalled the Play Store
3. Switched Google Accounts
4. Waited 30 minutes to try again?
Hope this helps for people having this annoying problem.

My problem wont be fixed with any of these as its 927 on all of my devices but sometimes after 11pm it works. and sometimes during a reset of my phone they will automatically download sporadically. Its google servers for me. To bad google's customer service is one of the worst i have seen.

I would have to agree I have the same issue and have had it since December of last year at least. I have an email thread that shows the ongoing issues and they have never fixed a single issue. I can't even load the play store at all now just get connection timed out retry and forget trying all the "fixes" because I have gone through hours and hours and tried every fix that anyone could suggest. For a while I was able to download successfully but not reliably and ONLY ON CELLULAR. Google servers even knew when I was connecting to another phone (using it as a hotspot) and since it was cellular it worked fine. But if I used a real landline wifi it would error every single time. I basically have given up and will not buy another app or even use my android devices and thankfully I have others to use since I work for a phone company but google is absolutely pathetic in this. Google's suggestion is they are working on it and there is nothing else they can do for me. That's fine if it was a few days or maybe a few weeks but this is well over 4 months and they are making products unusable.

[Q] !!! Bunch of google play errors on every restart !!!

I have been seeing these bunch of errors (screenshots) at every re-start for the past couple of days. I am running Viper Rom version 2.5.
I tried to run the GPE rom as well but i get the same errors on that rom as well. Not sure what the issue is but nothing is broken apart from the weather app/widget not able to find the current location. It just shows 'current location' instead of the actual location. But this does not affect the Maps at all, it pin points my exact location on the Map.
Can anybody help with this?

Sounds like a dirty flash, did you do a factory reset? A factory reset should fix that.

Yes i did a reset and clean flash. Still has the same issues.

I'm having the same issue on viper 2.5. Never had problems before. I even followed steps to convert play store from user to system app and downgraded play services to the latest 5 version, in which everything works well, cleared data/cache/defaults, uninstalled and reinstalled market. But every time I reboot it updates to version 6 and the problems begin. I even used disable services app to prevent it from updating, but still happens. Any help would be appreciated. (Forgot to mention that all apps work well but with constant error pop-ups)

Glad you wrote this. Been having same problem a UK rom debranded m8. I get the same errors restart but google play is popping up saying there's been a problem followed by a goggle services popup. I narrowed it down to either news and weather app or me just getting a new car and syncing with it. Filling in a zip code made the errors less. Still annoying as hell. Either latest google play update borked things or news and weather is causing a big fluke like it has several times in the past.

Some apps not updating or installing on Google Play (EMUI 11.0.0.140 - EVR-L29)

Hi,
Anyone getting an error on Google Play Store installing apps or app updates? Some weeks ago one of my installed apps had an update and when installing it gave an error -- no error code as far as I could see. The update continued to be listed every time I went to the Store and stayed there. Finally I decide to uninstall / install the app hoping it would fix the issue. But no, then I couldn't install the app all together, producing the same error. I've contact the developers and after some weeks they replied saying it was an issue on Google's Store. I've reach Google which after investigating, are not aware of any similar problem. I've also done all the procedures recommended in such situation like cleaning cache, data, ... from Google Store; removing and adding back Google ids on the devices, nothing. Unable to solve this I finally gave up some days back.
Yesterday, the problem started with another app update. I see the update, click install, it downloads, starts installing, gives an error and goes back to be listed in the available updates...
Any help welcome.
Thanks.

Same thing happened to me, the reason is Google Play, I uninstalled Google play since my Chinese version didnt come with one, I then had to use a third party installer and installed the newest Google play and everything went back to normal and was able to install all the apps I havent been able to in the last 2 months but didnt care enough to figure it out until last week when I got fed up.

Hi,
Thanks for the inputs.
I've the EVR-L29 running Google services so I can only remove the updates from the Store, data and cache; which I did but didn't solve the problem. I also removed Google user, reboot, and added it back. Issue still persists...
I've contact Google and seems they are not aware of any similar problem. At least that was the feedback I received.
I do see a couple of comments of other users of the app I can't install with the same problem; someone with a Xiaomi and another user with a Huawei phone.
Any ideas? Thanks.

The only thing I can go by is what occurred to me I couldn't install chipotle app or anything, it took uninstalling it, I do know there is a command to uninstall apps and there was an app as well, been awhile but if memory serves me right, the app you used to find the location was App inspector then you had to uninstall it through and adb command line. I would check to see what version of Google Play you have installed. The version I installed that fixed my issue was version 25.4.20-21
