Motorola Xoom :: Why Wont New Wifi Download From Android Market
Apr 17, 2011
On april 16 i bought a new xom wifi from staples. everything seems to work well but when i try to download tablet applications from the android market it gets stuck on "waiting to install" or shows download activity but never downloads. Also why is there no status bar on download?
I have a brand new Xoom with Android 3.2, but the version of Android Market is only 1.0.28. It does not 'automatically update. I would like to update it so I can add a pin to stop my kids from purchasing things! Which is apparently available in the latest version (3 or so).
I have just updated my xoom to Android 3.2 and installed Flash 11.When I go to Android Market it still does not show me BBC IPlayer - I am guessing that my Market App is not aware of my new found Flash.BTW- I can browse to BBC IPlayer and it works fine.Am I correct in thinking that the Market App has to to be aware of the functionality of the tablet and filters accordingly? Is it possible to uninstall & re-install the Market App - The only options appear to be "Force Stop" & "Clear Data" ; these seem a bit brutal!
I have the Wifi only Xoom. I can open the android Market but when I go to my installed applications the Market force closes everytime. I have tried clearing the cache, clearing data, and force stopping the application and still no luck. I went as far as doing a factory reset and I still am unable to view installed applications.
With recent changes in the market for Android tablets, it appears there is speculation that Intel may be positioning tablets based on the Atom processor. While Honeycomb has not been fully adapted to the Atom, Intel demoed an Atom driven Android tablet in Bejing this week.Here is some of the article's key content:"So, with tablets based on chips from companies like Nvidia (Xoom, Samsung Galaxy Tab) and Texas Instruments (PlayBook) not likely flying off the shelf, are Intel's chances any better now? "The door to this market is open. The longer it takes for these other products to get rolling, the more opportunity there is for Intel," said Richard Shim, an analyst at DisplaySearch.
And others see an opening for the world's largest chipmaker. "Though Apple has set the bar, it's not going to be alone in this space. Right now it looks like Android will have the majority of tablet sales(outside of Apple), and Intel has a dedicated team of people to make Android work the best it can on its Atom chips. They have a lot of resources they can apply," said Jack Gold of consulting firm J.Gold Associates, who wrote about this yesterday.And Intel, despite its unimpressive start, has another advantage. Atom is not just another cookie-cutter design from U.K.-based ARM. Intel can bring to bear all of its manufacturing, security, and media processing know-how, according to Gold, who believes it will continue to whittle away successfully at the inherent power-efficiency advantage of ARM chips. "My take is that Intel can capture 20 to 25 percent of that remaining market outside of Apple."
Shim has a few words of caution, however. "It all depends, of course,how well Honeycomb (Android 3.0) runs on Atom," said Shim. "That's a big if." And Shim also warns Intel not to put too many eggs in the MeeGo basket, which is a hard sell to developers in a field crowded with Hewlett-Packard's WebOS and RIM's QNX, in addition to Android." url...What do you think about the possibility of Intel Atom competing with the Tegra 2 processor for Android tablet marketshare? If Google has to support mutliple tablet processors with Honeycomb and eventually Ice cream, will that create more bottlenecks or opportunities and options?
I just got the motoblur yesterday and have been trying to download apps from the market ever since. they say "starting download" and then take ages. When i click on it it says it is queued. how do i stop it queueing?
xoom: i have been unable to download apps from the market at all. they continue to download endlessly and never actually install. especially flash player.
since monday i have app udate message but market app can't download new update?tryed the clear cache button on the market app but didn't solve the problem?
I found my xoom honeycomb market is different than my smartphone motorola milestone (froyo)for exam:on milestone market I cant found app Skype, but on Xoom I can found app Skype on xoom I cant found Yahoo messenger, on milestone I can found Yahoo messenger why or because I live in Indonesia so different market?
This just started today. I can't get into the Market app on my XOOM 3G VZW. It only pops up a dialog saying:"Authentication required. Pleas log into your Google account."with an "ok" button.I've tried everything I can think of:restarted the XOOMTried using both wi-fi and 3G connectionsused the browser to verify my Google account appears on the search headerOpened the Gmail app and done a refreshForce-stopped the Market appcleared it's dataensured I can still access the markt using my Droid 1.tried accessing both from my home screen shortcut and from the Apps pageThe version showing in the Manage Applications page is 1.0.27Oh, while I can't go into the market from it's application icon. I did notice that several applications updated in the background, and from the "Updates Available" notification, I was able to go to the "My Apps" part of the Market app.
I have got my SE Xperia X10i two months ago. I am still not familiar with its advanced features. I have updated the phone to Android 2.1 (Firmware: 2.1-update1, Kernel: 2.6.2.9, Build#: 2.0.2.A.0.24) and I have downloaded many free apps from Android Market. They all worked fine but recently I have downloaded Google Reader from the MARKET. The download seems to have got stuck at 26% and there is nothing I can do to stop it.
I have tried the below:1. Switched off the data traffic but the download did not stop and it is shown in the notifications.2. Restarted the phone not less than 5 times but the download seems to resume.3. Killed the market service in the Manage Applications section, but download does not stop.
i just got my xperia play today en i got everything working 3g,wifi etc.The only problem is i cant download anything from the market, it just stays on starting download while downloading through external sites is working fine.
While downloading anything from the android market the downloading starts and stops automatically whithout showing any message/error.I am not able to download anything from the android market.what to do now??
For 2 days I am not able to download anything from Android Market. Did any of you have this problem? Internet connection is OK. I was able to download from the Market, but suddenly I can't do it anymore. I think this is an OS problem. I read about in on Android site forum.
Does anyone know how I can download apps outside Android Market.I'm suppose to have a link in my applications folder to allow me to download from "unknown sources", but the brain wizards at AT&T decided to remove it form my Xperia X10 in an agreement with sony!
It happen a day ago. It hasnt happen to me before. i cant seem to download any thing from android market at all. when i select say a free apps and install in, a few seconds later it will promp to me saying download unsuccessful, please try again. i checked, my sd card still has more then enough space. i checked, i got a very good wi-fi connection.
I've recently bought the x10 mini pro and have upgraded it to android 2.1. This also updated the android market to the newest version but now i cant download anything from the market. It gets stuck on "Starting Download" or on occasion "Download Unsucessful.".
I've downloaded a lot of programs from android marked without problems, but about a month ago it stopped working. When i press download, i get a message that the X10 mini pro is now downloading the program.... and that is about it.. nothing else happens and im not getting any program.. not even a sign that its downloading.
If i go to the same program in the app-store, that i earlier pressed download, it is saying that it is already starting the download..
The apps, always starting with the Market App, displays error message to force close within 10 minutes of turning it on. I only had a few apps installed (from the Android Market Place) which I have uninstalled, but it's still doing it. The longer you leave the Xoom on, the more apps it "needs" to force close. And, it won't save updates or some apps after a restart so I have to download everything again. Kind of a pain with Angry Birds .
Will I need to do the dreaded memory wipe and lose everything?
I am having trouble downloading from Android market on my Xperia X10 mini pro. I have updated the software from 1.6 to 2.1, I have tried signing out of google talk, removing the market updates and clearing the market cache and have now done a factory reset and I still can't download from the market. Any apps I have tried to download are showing on the market on my computer as being downloaded. My husband has the same phone running the same software and has no problems downloading from the market.
