Market stops downloading

[pig]

Hi all
getting the same problem- updated to new Android Market- works initially then stops.
Sticks at "Starting Download" and nothing happens....
Other "App Center" works fine- stuff downloads ok.
Very annoying. Only a full reset gets it working again and I'm sick of doing that!

I'm still trying to get a fix for this.

In the meantime, do a reset, then load every ****ing app you can think of onto it and then do an app backup to flash, so at least you can pull them all back in easily if you need to.

If you have another android device, use a root explorer on it to go to /data/apps and then copy the apk you need to the Scroll to install on there after the market breaks.

I have sent the following email to support@storageoptions.com ... I suggest all v1.01 users do the same!

Hello.

Myself, and many others using firmware v1.01 of the Scroll, have issues where the market suddenly stops downloading after a few hours after a factory reset. We see the small downloading icon, briefly, but then we see the message "download unsuccessful" flash up and the application is never downloaded. This happens with any application after a short period after a full factory reset.

Again, the only thing that works is a full factory reset. But after about 5 or 6 hours, the market then stops working again.

Fixes attempted:

1) Reboot
2) Clearing various caches and data of various google apps
3) Starting again with a new, virgin, google account
4) Uninstalling updates in market app
5) Playing around with wifi (and data) settings
6) Logging in and out of Google Talk
7) Hammering a download of a new app (50 times one after the other)
8) Clearing cache in maintenance menu
9) Unmounting internal flash and external SD card
10) Waiting for various lengths of time, from 10 minutes to 2 days

My Google account is fine, as my Desire HD can download happily all the time.

Also, someone said it could be Google blocking me as my account has paid-for apps on it and the Scroll Tablet is "free apps only". However, when I created a virgin Google account, the exact same thing happened.

Not having access to the Market means I can not continue to use this device.

Please note that the device is running 2.1

Also, please not again that this is ONLY happening with users that have v1.01 of your firmware installed on their tablet.

Kind regards,
Mark

Hiya.

No, we are awaiting a new firmware patch from Storage Options. When it's here, we'll be the first to know.

In the meantime either:

a) Download APK's using your android phone (if you have one) and transfer then to your Scroll
b) Use one the alternate app programs here: http://www.storageoptions.com/support/g ... scroll.php
c) Use google to find the APK once you know the name of it. Please, only do this for free apps.

Fregeman again. Sorry, just noticed the link re: new firmware update. Thanks to all for their hard work seeking a solution.
