I Can't Install Games on an Android

1. Go to market.android.com on your computer or your Android browser. Do not use the Market app. Sign into your account. Go to the page of the game you are having problems installing. On the left side of the app's page, you will see a notice whether the game is compatible with your registered Android device. If the game is not compatible with your device's version of the Android firmware, it may not install at all.

2. Press your Android device's 'Menu' button, then tap 'Settings.' Tap 'Applications' then 'Market.' Tap 'Clear Cache.' Try downloading and installing the game again.

3. Press the 'Menu' button and tap 'Settings.' Tap 'Applications' and check the box next to 'Unknown Sources,' if the game you want to install is not from the Android Market. Not all users have this option. Some carriers disable the ability to install third-party applications.

4. Revert your email address from 'gmail.com' to 'googlemail.com,' if you previously switched them. This only applies to users in the United Kingdom who switched to 'gmail' after purchasing an Android device.

5. Open the Google Talk app on your Android device and sign in. This step may fix problems with installing apps for some users.
