Nice video though lawman, looks like that's what you need to make the tech press.

Sigh...

cant download any app from the market. and i think its caused by me not able to create the download folder. tried on my windows pc as well. no go.

worked like a charm... awesome

I don't think it can download unless you have that folder because that is the place where you are downloading to.

What does Windows report when you try to create it?

Do you have a Playbook File Browser? You could create it with one of those too.

Hi HaTaX firstly well done on getting this running. It seems the only way i can get apps to install is with a reset if the playbook then i go back into market and i get a notification that the app installed on the playbook homescreen. Not too bothered about that. i cannot seem to bring up the app list in marketplace, game list works just fine but selecting apps it just says loading and hangs. Is there a workaround to stop this? Cheers, Steve

Forget that help request...sorted it out...

[molson0]

email installed fine (notifications work)



but the aps just hang



I can see all the aps in the list.

I can't install squat.

Just hangs. Ideas ?

I do have the folder "misc/android/download"

molson0 try a hard reset of your playbook then go back into marketplace, i did that after tryingto download and i had notifications they had installed.

[molson0]

Thank you.


But I still suk.


No joy.


After reboot I get 1 step further although.....



But it still just sits here. I NEVER see any movement in the progress bar

I'm having the same problem, what I download just says starting download... and doesnt do anything, I tried a hard reset as well and I have all necessary folders.

Is this a fresh install of the Android Player?

Remember people, it's clearly posted in my instructions that a known issue is with downloads hanging up. I'll address it in the future, but right now the actual downloading of the apps is handed off from the Marketplace app to a different back end google service. If you look around on the web, the stalled downloads isn't just a PB problem, lots of devices encounter this with all kinds of different methods to fix it.

It takes time to dig through decompiled code and follow along with whats happening and what functions are called. If anyone wants to take a crack at it, by all means tear into it.

i did everything...and my downloads still dont start. i even did a hard reset and no luck. when i try to create the folder for "download" windows tells me folder already exists and if i want to merge or cancel. i think this is why i cant get it to work
