Market won't download - Android Apps and Games

Suddenly I am unable to download from the market. When I tap install it just says downloading but won't progress past that. Anyone gave a similar problem or any suggestions for fixing?
Thanks.
P.s. I've tried using wifi and 3g both

can you download from the market before this?
i have same prob b4 but then its okay i think it is just because the connection.
try first to log into your google account somewhere in other app (gmail, gtalk. etc) then try market.
also try to connect using diff wifi sources you can find around you

I get this sometimes and I usually just turn my phone off and use google maps google voice and it works.

How weird...... just tried it myself and it's refusing to show my Downloads page.
Keeps saying a server error has occurred.

The making sure you sign into the account in the beginning and don't skip didn't work to well for me. I haven't removed myaccount yet.

Not me. Could it be your Internet connection? Double check to make sure

Do you get an error or does it just sit there trying to load?

Crashed 3 times downloading torrent

Installed Atorrent app from market.
Tried downloading a couple of torrents (not large ones just 25Mb).
Good strong wi-fi connection but tablet rebooted 3 times and eventually I gave up. Had to turn wi-fi off and on to re-establish connection.
Anyone else tried download a torrent?
One thing that could lead a missconfigured torrent client to crash could be the number of active connections. If you set this number high enough you can make the app close.
What settings do you have configured?
Nothing special. Just downloaded and installed the app after looking at the feedback which said it worked fine on the Prime. Nothing but the standard settings, maybe I should try another app?

MMS Images Will Not Send

Hi all, I have a recurring issue with sending MMS images with the stock messaging app on my G2x running CM7 stable. Sometimes, but not every time, when I hit send, the gray notifier box shows up, saying "Currently unable to send your message. It will be sent when the service becomes available." This has happened even when I have service. Regardless, the box persists. Even when I can clearly see that I have bars, the box simply won't go away. The message refuses to send, and usually I can't even delete it. No matter what I do, the box stays, so I have to reboot every time I have this problem. Any ideas? I've done a good bit of searching and haven't yet found anyone with the same problem. Help would be greatly appreciated!

I occasionally have the same problem and the only thing I've found that helps are multiple hard reboots. Eventually the mms image will send and all will be well untill the next time it happens again...then more hard reboots.
I have a similar issue on CM7, try turning airplane mode on then off and then sending. Also, I use Handcent, not stock mms.apk.

I recommend backing up your apps with titaniumbackup and do a full wipe, cache wipe, dalvik cache wipe and flash the newest nightly version of cm7

Sometimes for similar issues, deleting telephony.db in something like data/providers/??telephony had helped me in the past. (And reboot)

I find that this problem persists even when I'm not using the stock mms.apk...for example, I've also used go sms pro and still have the same result which requires a reboot
Hmm, if you have tried airplane mode, I don't know what to say. For me, it seems to be connected with hitting areas of no reception. I may have a perfect connection, but something thinks I don't. What I mean is, for example I will launch Browser, say from Xda, and browser will give me a message telling me I have no connection (when I do) but still function. I think what ever causes browser to 'think' I have no connection is related to the mms issue. It's also apparent in an app called Clock Sync (which I use to keep my phone on a stable time, versus assuming the network will provide accurate time) and this app won't pull up the info from the time server and allow me to synch.

I don't know who your carrier is, but if your apn is split into two parts, one for accessing the internet and one for sending mms, then try this fix http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1484489, I posted it a while back and mms works perfectly for me, of course the only downside is that you have to manually switch apns depending on what you want to use your data for.
Good luck
I get that error message here and there... I learned to live with it... What you should do is after sending mms and that message appears; long hold that picture you're trying to send and select edit; this will bring that picture back to your text box... From there, like everyone said, airplane mode off then on... Then try sending it again... If that fails... Go to setting, applications, development and select long hold back button to kill app... So when that message appears and you want to get rid of it... Long hold back and it will kill that mms process...

[Q] MMS stuck on downloading but never downloads until a reboot

Didn't find anything helpful in the searches so...
Sometimes when getting a bunch of group texts or any MMS in a spotty data signal area one or two messages will never come through. On GoSMS there is no button to press to download and on the stock app it shows downloading with the animated bar but it never downloads. Rebooting the phone will seemingly reset the download and the button to press to download it will then appear. I prefer to not lose 5% battery from the media scan on a reboot just so I can get a group text or an MMS picture. So is there any other way around it other than rebooting?

I had that problem with the stock app. In the Messenger settings I turned off auto retrieve. I then get a download button and it works. For whatever reason with auto retrieve on it never downloads. Don't know if that's the same issue.
That will typically work, but then requires me to go in and click the download button every time. When you're in a group text that means backing out of it and opening up the individual's message thread every time someone replies to click download. Not really a good solution either. I'd say 95% of the time the messages download on auto for me. Any other ideas?
On most ROMS, you need to have Wifi off and 4g/3g on to download. That's why I don't use auto retrieve, so I can turn Wifi off and data on before I download

Ah that makes a lot of sense now. I am probably on WiFi most of my day so explains why auto retrieve never worked for me.
Thanks
I'm the opposite. About the only time I ever have Wi-Fi on is when I'm in Canada. I still have unlimited data on and 4G is much faster than my regular internet at home.

Mms over wifi is flaky on some roms from my experience. Works fine for me on roms that stay closer to stock. You shouldn't have to disable wifi to receive or send mms messages if things are working properly.

So no one knows a way to reset the download without restarting the phone?

Use a task killer (I know they suck, but just use it for this one thing) to kill the process and it should reset the download

I tried that via rom toolbox and it didn't seem to have any effect. Maybe I killed the wrong process though. Which is it for an mms download?
