Hi,
I keep getting the above error and can't seem to find a solution. Searching Google, it looks like a solution is to clear the cache and data for gmail by going into Manage Applications. This doesn't seem to be an available option with the Captivate. I get to Manage Applications but con't find the gmail app. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Regards-Michael G.
Gmail is a system app so you have to set the filter to all under manage applications.
Not sure if this applies to you, but I got a similar error when restoring my apps via Titanium (when updating from 2.1 to 2.2). I just needed to manually restore those in the market.
Thanks! I'm using a droid and the setup is a little different. I did it, now lets see if that works.

Has there been a fix for the old "Starting Download" issue on the Android Market? I still can't download anything from it. I know that resetting my phone will work (for a while), but it's not an option right now. Any help?
P.S. I've searched the forum as well and was not able to find a concrete answer.
I was told that starting Google Talk should make sure you're logged in to Google's server, which is (supposedly) what causes that problem.

Hmm, I tried that but I'm already logged in
That issue has haunted me for a while - I get a cold sweat anytime a download start takes longer than usual.
I personally don't believe it's an issue with your device (as I've seen some argue it to be), rather it's with your gmail account. When a factory reset didn't fix my problem, I went to a tmobile store where my buddy works, and we put my sim card into every android device he had (mt3g, mts, garmin, and one other I can't remember), only to find that none would allow me to download.
For me the workaround I'm currently using is to set up the device with another gmail account newly created for the purpose of being able to download apps, then set up my "real" gmail (the one I actually use) to sync my contacts and calendar. The only problem is that I can't use my real gmail on gchat, since that only signs into the primary account you used when setting up the device. I don't use gchat much on my phone anyway, so it wasn't that big of a deal.
I suppose it's possible my phone corrupted my account somehow, but I had deleted caches, updates, and anything else I'd heard had worked for others, but to no avail. If you get to the bottom of the problem, be sure to let me know.
Good luck!

Hi! Thanks for the tip but as it turns out - I can't even add another account It always produce an error saying "can't establish connection". Any idea why this is the case?
The "Starting Download" issue for me, was unfixable and related to my google account. I created a new one and it worked flawlessly.

Hmm...that sounds like a connectivity issue and not a problem with the device. I'd say reboot your phone and try again.
Just to be clear, I created a new gmail address and used that during the initial setup of the phone (after a factory reset of course), then went to settings> accounts and sync> select add account and entered the old gmail I've used forever (which is why just ditching it and using the new one wasn't an option - I didn't want to bother notifying everyone I had a new email).
You'll see that you only have the option to sync contacts and gmail with a secondary gmail address - not calendar. To get around this (since my old gmail is the calendar I want to sync), set up the new gmail to share calendars w/ the old one. Once that's done, you'll see in your calendar app settings on the phone the option to sync the old gmail calendar and not the new one.
Hope that made sense! It's really not difficult to do - just annoying that it has to be done at all. I wish someone would figure out why some gmail accounts get stuck at starting download. What a pain.
I had this problem for awhile, but it was because I was task killing Google Talk. When I disabled the task killer it worked fine.
I read a few comments on the help community in the market to go to applications, manage apps, select the market then uninstall updates. This worked for a while but very intermittent. Worth a go though

I generally just wait, I believe it's a server issue...I eventually get the download but, yeah, I wait and then go back to the store and attempt to start the download again...and that seems to work.

Yes downloading from the market is related to the Google Talk app. I once deleted it from /system and it did the same thing.

Thanks for all of the replies. I know of the delete Market update solution but when I browse for Market in the Manage Application screen, I never see the "update" portion there. Any other tips?

I've formatted my sd card & I don't know if it helped or a coincidence but I now have no problem downloading again maybe worth a try...

I've always just let my apps automatically restore but I would like to use my backup of apps with my backup pro. But once they restore they don't show downloaded in the market. How can I change this?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Go to settings > applications > manage applications > all - find market and google framework services. Clear cache/data for both...reboot. Open market.
Wait a few mins and all the apps will show up in the downloaded section.
This was happening to me yesterday.
I went to Manage Applications->All->Market, and then clicked "Force Stop", and then "Clear Data". I reloaded the market, accepted the terms, and everything showed up again.
If just clearing the data doesn't work, force stop it and then clear. That worked for me.
okay guys that worked, thanks. I have another question though now, so because I didn't want my apps to automatically install, I used my alternate gmail account(the one my paid apps aren't associated with) to first log in with the market so I could download My Backup Pro. After restoring my apps, I logged into my original main gmail(the one the paid apps are associated with) and my paid apps still haven't showed up. What can I do to make them show up?

Hard reset / wipe and use the right Gmail first.
Sorry but the first one you put on is the one and only Gmail linked to the market. You must use that one if you want your paid apps.
Also: I know you use my backup.. but titanium backup has a "market doctor" feature that finds missing market links and lets you re-establish them.

Hi:
I have a strange problem with syncing my Infuse 4G stock calendar with Google Calendar. Most of my entries in Google show up in my phone calendar app, but some specific ones don't. There seems to be no pattern as to what does and does not show up locally, but whatever does not, never does.
I've tried editing the entries on Google to see if an update would force the entry to be resynced, but no luck. I've even deleted the data for the Calendar Storage app. The same entries fail to show up again.
As things stand, I have no confidence in whether the calendar I am being shown on the device is correct or not.
Any suggestions for diagnosing / repairing this problem are greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

This might be better suited in the Q and A section, I don't know...this is themes and apps, but I suppose that is an app. I just am not sure if that's what they mean for this section. Sorry I got no ideas for you though. Good luck.
Don't be afraid

Is your phone still stock or have you modded it? I had issues when I was playing with what services I could freeze in Titanium Backup. I didn't like the calendar that came with the infuse. I downloaded touch calendar free version. don't have problems with my calendar or shared calendars.
Hi:
I'm still using the stock ROM - UCKH1. I'll give the Touch Calendar a try and see if that works.
Thanks for the tip.
Hey Guys,
I have the latest gmail app on my nexus 4, running Android 4.4.3 KitKat. I am unable to download any attachments through the app, and it is beginning to bother me. I have had this issue over the past gmail app versions, and from 4.4.2 KitKat also. Pictures say they can't load, and any other files fail to download, and retrying doesn't help. A workaround that I can use now is saving everything i need to Google drive from within the gmail app, and accessing them from another app, but this isn't a permanent solution. I have tried wiping gmail cache, gmail data, and completely uninstalling gmail and reinstalling it from the play store after a reboot, all to no avail. None of the solutions I have found work. If you guys Know how to fix this, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Hi
I have the same problem!!?? it is very annoying please anybodies have a solution? I cant't open any attachment via gmail app always I use save to drive to see any attachment via my mobile device.
Hey,
I never solved the issue and from Browsing around it seems it happens to some people and not to others. I just use the drive workaround now, because I have nothing else left to try.

Hi
Yeah the same as me, I feel tired of finding a solution for this problem. it is very wired that Google didn't mention this problem or solving it by newest version of gmail app because I found many threat talking about the same issue without a solution. many of member say to switch to K9 app instead of gmail app but the problem that in the k9 there are no categories like gmail ( Primary, Promotion, Social, Forums) I used them a lot because I don't like to get a notification when a new email come to one of these categories except Primary. these feature doesn't exist in another email app like K9.
I just had to re-enter a bunch of appointments on my google calender because they ended up previously on this other calendar (which seems to be phone only, so perhaps it's an Xperia thing, or maybe it's a hangover from some other system I've used in the past, although I doubt it because i've not logged into any other calendar systems on my Z3).
I can disable it from within the google calender app, so hopefully it would cause any more trouble, but I'd like to get rid of it. I've disabled the original (sony?) calender app but it's not removed this option.
Does anyone else have this? You can see it by running the Google calendar app and dragging the left edge of the screen right. You can remove it from here in settings, but it's still available in settings. I want it gone!
Syncml-orphaned driving me mad

I have the same problem. Tried deleting and reopening to no avail. Contemplating deleting my google account altogether and starting from scratch.
Calendar has recently been chewing a lot of battery on my Z3C, and I've noticed that I also now have a syncml-orphaned calendar appearing. Anyone else found this in recent times?
Has this been solved? One year later I still have the same problem, even on newer Sony Xperia phones
Well, I think I have found a way: Using TitaniumBackup I have performed WIPE DATA on Calendar Storage and Calendar. This has fixed the syncml-orphaned problem for me.
Of course, for this to work you have to have Root.
Clear data of Calendar Storage

This worked for me without TitaniumBackup:
Clear data of the app ‘Calendar Storage’. As this is a system app, you need to activate ‘Show system’ in the app list.
