[Q] Can't log into Talk or download from Market - Nook Color General

I can't download from Market. I tried to go to the web Market to download from there, and looked up Troubleshooting. It recommended signing into Talk and then trying to download. Well, I can't log into Talk. Anyone have a way I can fix this? I do have adb access. I am running Honeycomb through an sd card. Any suggestions beyond having to try the process all over again? If not, I know there are several threads on getting gmail/market/talk/maps/yahoo/etc. on the card once the OS is loaded. Which is the best one to use and follow, and what should I do once everything is on there (like what to sign on first (yahoo, or gmail, or talk, etc.)? Total newb to rooting, so I would appreciate any guidance. Getting market working is the last thing I need to get working basically. Thanks!

Force stop market and google services framework, clear caches and data for both, reboot. This worked for me.

What if you can't clear the data on Market? There's 124 kb worth of data in there, and it won't allow me to clear it. I can force stop the market and force stop/clear data on framework, but just doing those and then rebooting still won't allow me on talk or to download on market. What it did give me though was it allowed me to "see" more apps in Market that didn't show before, like Pandora. Still can't download it, but I can see it.

[Q] Market has always been boofed

Ok so here is my problem: I loaded on a custom ROM the second I got my phone, so I have never run stock before and I have had no name in the market when I post comments on things and I guess that didn't really matter, but now I loaded on Darky 10.1 and my ratings do not stick on the market. I have tried market fixer in SGS tools to no avail.
Any way to fix my market so it keeps my ratings and displays a name when I make comments?

try clearing market data from application management
profiles
Only way I've ever gotten the name that shows up to change is to mess with the info supplied to the google account.
The rating/comment might also be linked to the google account, as I can look in the market for apps I've once had but long since removed and done plenty of "full wipe" ROM flashes since yet the rating and comment are still there.
And no, I've never once restored anything relating to the market app or its data. I consider it a system app, and use it as is.
Well thanks for the answers, but I still have no luck with this...

paid market apps and my apps

ok stupid question..but im thinking of buying tibu and beweather from the market.. when i purchase them..and updates continue to come out..can i update them always..or do i always to pay again when an update comes out..and if there are free updates..how does it work if i reflash a rom or something using cm7.. thanks
and while im here..one more question..im my rom experience will be complete.. lol i went to flash cm7 and when i did all the restore and stuff it should that i had 50 updates but then that went away in my market..and now my complaint is i know i have more than 100 apps and it doesnt show on my apps in my market..ive rebooted reflash all that..im using tibu 4.0.0 but when i browse for that app..it does say its installed..its just that if i got my apps some of them are not there..basically if i wanna see if theres an update i have to browse for it to see if it says update or just installed..but if recall..i think when i did an update it finally was seen in my apps in market correctly after the update..what gives please help..thanks..sorry for the two questions in one and the long ramble
I am sure you pay once and all the updates after are free. I haven't bought applications on android, but am just assuming it's like digital distribution in general.
... I can't really understand your second question/ ramble. If it's about your downloaded applications list disappearing when flashing a new rom, yeah, that happens. You could just use titanium backup to restore applications once you are done flashing the new rom. Sorry if I missed the meaning of your second question.
i have tibu pro and i get the updates on the same licence. it's one of few apps i've bought. you need to go to manage applications to the market , clear data and you will see your apps.

did you try to reinstall the market? after the flash... also were the apps all d/l'ed from the same market account originally? not trying to be a smartass just throwing a few more ideas out there...... back to stock???

Yeah, I think that's a common problem when restoring from TiBu...the market gets confused. Happened to me...it's an easy fix:
First, reboot the phone to make sure everything is closed. Go to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications. Tap the All tab. Scroll down until you find Market. Tap Market to open it's application settings. Tap the "Clear Data" button. Reboot the phone. Your market should now show everything.
If you purchase an app from the market, updates are included in the original price (i.e., you won't have to pay again). Purchases are tied to your Google account, so even if you buy a new phone, when you log in with your Google ID, the apps you purchased will show up in the "My Apps" section of the Market. You'll have to reinstall them, but you won't have to pay again.
^ this.
Although you don't have to reboot first to clear market data just clearing it will do the trick.
ok so heres the story..i did what everyone ask me to do..somehow still didnt work..then i did the market doctor thats suppose to fix the market links didnt work..i uninstalled tibu..rebooted and now i shows all my apps with like half of them needing updates..i know theres some that need updates and some that dont..but i did it ne ways just to be sure..so basically i got all my apps back! yay..thanks guys..so wait one of you said that i dont have to pay again and as long as i have my google id i can still dl it even if i flash ANY rom on here..thanks again!
Paid apps are linked to the google account that purchased them.You could sign in to your account on a completely different device and download them. So yes flashing then away will not cause you to have to repurchase them.

CM7 nightly 240, gapps install "no reliable connection to data server"

I just installed CM7 nightly 240 on a fresh nook color. The CM7 install to SD went fine, I set wifi connection to my router, browsed the web a bit to make sure it works. Then I went ahead to install gapps, but when I want to sign into my account it complains it "can't find a reliable connection to data server"
I checked that the wifi is on and connected... the signal is strong as I'm working right next to my router... don't know where to go from here.
Help please?
(edited to say: ) I have just tried again and again... wifi is on, I can browse the web but signing into google account times out every time. Because of that I don't have access to market etc.
On your NC, can you log in your gmail account? (using web browser)
Yes I can. But signing in to setup gapps still doesn't work (same "no reliable connection" error)
Hm now I have a whole new problem... I was playing with all kinds of settings trying to make this work... somehow I did something and now the nook is unresponsive. It's on, with a screen that says "setup wizard" at the top, won't respond to any buttons or screen gestures.
Do I have any option to reboot it besides letting the battery run out?
I had to hold the power button down for a good 20 sec before my NC turned off. Then I could restart.
Thanks that helped. I was giving up after 10-15s.
But the google login/gapps setup problem persists.
Actually I think the gapps package is just not installing correctly. In recovery it doesn't give me any errors, inflates all the apks etc then shuts down. But when I get back into CM I can't see any of them (market, etc) in the apps screen.
I have downloaded the gapps packet again and went through the install procedure, with the same result. No sign-in possible and no google apps showing up in the apps screen.
(Edit: to show that wifi is on and working I'm posting this from the nook/cm7)
If you can log in into your gmail account directly from the NC then wifi isn't your problem.
It must be a Market or Google Framework. Try to clear cache and data of both and see what happens next.
But when I get back into CM I can't see any of them (market, etc) in the apps screen.

You not gonna see Market if you not successfully set up an account first.
Where are the caches on the NC? I tried looking in /data and a few other obvious places and can't find them. (/data for instance is empty)

Go into Menu... Manage Applications... select the app you want to clear data and cache for and click clear data (this also clears cache)
So I cleared data and cache for google services framework. Market had data and cache already empty.
Still no go. Same error.
Reboot yet? Give it a try
Rebooted, no go. Cleared data and cache again, rebooted, same error.
Silly me. Please someone mark this thread as solved.
I found the problem. Here is the solution just in case someone has later on the same problem. Don't disable "background transfers" before you set your google account and the market. Afterward you can disable it if you want, but if you do it before you won't be able to correctly install gapps even with a good wifi connection.
Problem solved. Thank you everyone for helping me troubleshoot. I'll now go enjoy my dual-boot nook/android tablet.
We learn new thing everyday.
Glad your NC up and running.

Google Play Services Error

I am getting a lot of the GPS errors. I updated am still getting it. I can not open Gmail App because of this.
And I just updated Oxygen.
Try going into apps making sure show system apps is enabled and clear these two system cache's (clear all data) on Google services. Then for good measure go to storage clear cache and reboot. After that you will need to sign back in but all apps and there data is still there. Hope that helps has done for me in the past especially after a play services update.
Never attached screenshots
Just tried the clearing and all is good. Now I need root and to Pixelize it and i will be happy.
Any other tips? made no difference to mine.... getting hacked off with the Oneplus 3T and I've only had it 4hrs! no google apps will work... music... gmail... hangouts... all say the same " google play service error" please contact the developer
I did a clean install and started over again... seems good now.
Coming from a x5 Pro this thing is dam fast!

Question Apps won't update

I have a recurring problem that apps stop updating. Deleting the Play Store memory and cache sorts it, but only for one or two apps then it stops again. Apps either just sit saying pending or download to XX% and then stop.
report it to Google
Clear system cache.
Clear data in related apps.
Delete, recreate Google Account.

I had this issue after the first beta. I had to go to apk mirror and install the latest update for the app that wouldn't update. Once I did that the next updates that showed in play store, updated correctly.
Edit* I believe this happened because I restored my Samsung backup including apps but I could be wrong. Either way that fixed it.
Unless you're having issues with the app I wouldn't worry about it. Updates can and do break apps. I use the factory load version still after 2 years on some of mine.
Some saved app versions go back 6 years and work fine!
Google's update crap is just that many times. Trying to scare you into constantly updating.
If it ain't broke, don't try to fix it bro...
You can also use ApkExport on another Android to make an installable copy then download it to the other device.
