My market is broken, I don't how to fix it.

[Silverwing]

Hello,

I have a Samsung Fascinate. My phone isn't rooted, there is no custom anything installed. I downloaded "Fancy Widget" a few days ago and updated it. It said "Updating" for the past day. I cannot click on the "updating" to cancel it. So I restarted the phone. It still says installing. So I deleted "Fancy Widget" but it still says installing. I cannot uninstall it again, or install it. Everything is grayed out. I restarted my phone again - nothing. What am I supposed to do so I can install it?

Thanks for the help

EDIT: I prompted the market itself to uninstall updates which appears to have reset my market because after I started it again it had the EULA pop up. It works now.

Just in case anybody else encounters a similar problem: Settings>Applications>All>Market>Uninstall Updates

Try going into Settings>Applications>All>Market>Clear Data, reboot, try again

The first thing I would do is go to settings > apps > manage applications > all > market and clear data/cache

See if that works.

try going into setting: applications: select all at the top and then go to the market app. clear data. Reopen the market and see if it works then.

I hope one of us is right.....

Alright, the only option I had was "clear cache". I did that. I restarted the phone immediatly thereafter, it still says "installing" - nothing has changed. Yikes.

The option for clear data was grayed out?

Rebooting shouldn't be needed. Make sure it was Market and not Market Updater.

 

[Silverwing]

There was no option to clear data, in its place it says "uninstall updates" - I was only offered clear cache.

 

[jstafford1]

do you have an option to force stop?

 

[Silverwing]

I force stopped it, nothing. Force stopped and restarted, nothing.

I prompted it to uninstall updates which appears to have reset my market because after I started it again it had the EULA pop up. It works now.

Thanks everyone, I was beginning to be really frustrated.

 

[jstafford1]

Well at least you got it fixed. And only started to get frustrated :icon_ poke:

Good deal. That must be the same thing as clear data because that's what happened to me last time I did it. Wonder why the language difference.

Must be something different with the Fascinate.
