Guest tronads Posted February 28, 2011 Report Posted February 28, 2011 Im a newbie to the Vega, just got it today. Straight away I installed the latest Modoaco rom from the kitchen, followed by clockwork recovery. I am however experiencing problems with the marketplace. I have added my google account, and confirmed it working by running Gmail. When I start marketplace, it all appears to work as normal, and I can search for items no bother. However if I select one and OK it, it says "your item will be downloaded" then after a few seconds I get a red triangle with a ! in it in the bar, which when pulled down reads "(app name) Download was unsuccessful. Please try again". I tried to search on the forum, and found a post suggesting connecting to marketplace by web, but this does pretty much the same thing. Anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong ? I have yet to format the SD card for ext4, as I am a little unsure about what to do there ( yet to get to reading about that ), so wondered if it were maybe a memory issue, though unlikely as I have obviously added nothing and it says I have 284mb remaining on internal storage.

Hi, and welcome. Strange indeed. Normal "first guess" for any misbehaving Android app is Settings->Applications->Manage Applications->All. Then select Market and click "Clear Data" and "Clear Cache". Good luck
Guest tronads Posted February 28, 2011 Report Posted February 28, 2011 No change i'm afraid. I also cleared cache etc in clockwork and no change. Just to rule out internet issues i just downloaded something from marketplace oon my phone using the same internet connection and that worked fine.

I know this sounds weird but ... try downloading Google Talk then side loading it onto the Vega. Log into Google Talk using your gmail account then log out. Try the Market again. Failing that, it's very unlikely, but you might just have had a bad flash. As it's new and you haven't installed anything (I'm guessing as Market doesn't work :huh:), I'd be tempted to save time trying to fix it and just reflash.
Guest tronads Posted February 28, 2011 Report Posted February 28, 2011 Yes, I think I shall re-cook a rom and install it via clockwork now. I shall report back later. Thanks.
Guest tronads Posted February 28, 2011 Report Posted February 28, 2011 (edited) Well whaddayouknow, its only now working following the reflash. Thanks for the advice, I now have a smile on my face again. Edited February 28, 2011 by tronads
