Market Experience?

[Justg]

Can you guys let us know how your experience with the Marketplace has been? Any trouble finding or downloading? Good or bad, we would love to know.

Thanks!

what is the marketplace?

oh nvm i got it

Sometimes, if you set it to download automatically, it will fail and when you open the Market it will say please download manually. This isn't a problem with your application though as I have seen this across the board for a lot of applications.

I have no issues with it. My apps all install just fine, updates....well.....they update.

Same here. No problems whatsoever

No problems. It's a big file so downloading on wifi will help with speed and battery consumption.

I have an HTC Droid Incredible (Verizon). I have rooted my phone, I have installed CyanogenMod 6.0. I use AppBrain (I also use the Market directly if appbrain seems weird on some app).

When I first heard about Pocket Legends, I believe it was almost as soon as it was released for Android. At that time, I could not get it to work, no matter what I did. I experienced the problem where you'd get a link to the app in the market (either from appbrain or from the link on the pocket legends web site) but clicking on the link would bring up the market and an error "Not found", "The request item could not be found."

Then a day or so later, I tried again and found the app on appbrain under what looked like a different name. I tried again and it worked. Now, yesterday, I see there was an 'update' (according to appbrain). But when I try to get the update, I get the same error I described above. The game however, continues to play fine, even though there seems to be some app update, I can't get.

I have the same problem as Thirl

I have a rooted HTC Evo with CM 6.1 and never had a problem with it. People should probably mention what phones they are using along with mentioning issues or non-issues just to give y'all a better idea.

I have a rooted and custom ROM'd Samsung Captivate. I heard about this game on Saturday and found it on the Market with no problems. When I would try to install through market it would start and immediately hang. This was on 3G/HSDPA. I tried Wifi and it did the same thing. I found the apk in a post on these forums and downloaded the game with a buddy from work on his iPhone and we started playing together and got hooked. Yesterday I bought 175 platinum and bought all of the map packs and PVP packs. Today the client update came out and again I cannot download. Patiently waiting for a kind forum member to post the updated APK. Great game devs and look forward to update I can actually download ^.^ Any chance of hosting the updated APKs on your site as well as putting them on the market? Thanks

edit: Outside of this game I have never had an issue downloading or installing an APP from the Android market and I have A LOT.

[Thirl]

Update: I can no longer play the game. It says I must update, but as I described above I cant update. Kind of mad I bought any platinum now.

If you're talking about the Android Market, I too am having issues. Just discovered that the open beta client supposedly has been released. When I go to the official market, pocket legends is nowhere to be found. When I try appbrain, it pops up, but says "the requested item could not be found." When I try the qr code, it doesn't work. The .apk I downloaded from one of the forum posts is out of date and only shows up in appbrain, but doesn't show an update.

I am using droid incredible, rooted, with CM6.1. I don't have this issue with any other items, and I have downloaded a ton.

Well I must say, it's turning out to be one of the longer DLs I've had on any of my Android phones.

**edit**Well got it DLed finally and after another long DL (the update) finally got signed up, RhynosAndroid, and got to playin'. AWESOME!! Smooth playing, quick response. This is on a Nexus One running froyo. I wasn't sure cause it actually locked up during the update after the initial DL. It came thru.

i see PL in market but if i want download it , market say download failed everytime. use 3g and wifi. samsung galaxy s I9000

EDIT: version 1.5.1 is on market but problem with download is still here... imposible to download

[jasper_ward]

I saw and downloaded the game no problem a few days ago, I don't seem to be able to see the game anymore in the market, though I am still able to play ATM, though the game does not show up in my downloads tab, or give me options to update... this happened very similarily with my phone when Angry Birds released am on a MYtouch 3g Slide with CM6

[Derajdefyre]

I found the game no problem but I did not even attempt the download on edge. When I got home and had wifi I ran the download, installed, opened the app, was pushed an update, then was able to play without any issue. I am using a carrier unlocked Samsung Vibrant on AT&T's network that is NOT rooted.

[reddragon72]

no problems here. Even works with update all button.

T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant.

It doesn't even show up in my marketplace. Firmware is 2.1 + update 1. Sprint Samsung Intercept.

I got a Samsung Galaxy S running the latest Froyo revision (JPO). The game does show up in the market, but every time I try to download, it fails, either via packet radio or WiFi.

Unlike anything I have ever experienced, the download doesn't fail with an error message, it simply disappears. I have hundreds of installed apps, and in the recent weeks there were times when the market was a huge PITA. But even then, when I started any download, it either stopped with a failure notice, got stuck forever or (sometimes) succeeded.

Not so with Pocket Legends. The download starts and stops a few seconds later, and then the game is back in the list, just teasingly marked as "free". No notice, no progress bar, nothing. That never happened with anything else before!

I installed the APK from the sticky thread, forced market link with Titanium Backup's market doctor tool, and it worked just fine. Today, it asked for an update, but the download again acts like described above. I did not start the game today to check if I can still log in with the older version, though.

Any Ideas what might cause it?
