market stuck at starting download...

Lately past couple weeks on my captivate ive been trying out different roms for i9000 and i897 and for some reason market will not download anything. it just says starting download and never finishes, and in the notification bar it shows random apps that i never clicked to download say download unsuccessfull. if i do a hard data reset the market will work for a bit, but then does the same thing again. ive tried using 2 different gmail accounts with no luck.
the weird thing is that i thought i might have messed up some settings in my phone from flashing different roms, but the market works perfectly while running i9000 2.2 froyo jp3 and jpc roms. Ive tried various 2.1 roms, i897 jf6,jh2,jh3,jh7 and i9000 jm6, jm7, jm8 and all of them have the same market stalling.
Has anyone found a fix for this or are having this same problem? its really frustrating, but since 2.2 has a working market then i guess i just have to wait for OTA update captivate to froyo if there is no fix for this.

Are you on Wifi or 3G? I've had this same problem sometimes. For whatever reason it woulnd't download on the specific access point I was connected to, but when I switched to 3G it worked just fine. Other Wifi access points work just fine for me except for that one.

happens to me at home sometimes.. i noticed when the screen blacks out to nap.. and i turn it on.. the download starts

I get the same thing every once in a while. I fix it by going to Settings -> Applications-> Manage Applications, then Filter to show all applications. Scroll down and hit "Download Manager" and in there, hit "Clear Data." That seems to do the trick for me.

Yea it doesnt matter if its on wifi or 3g the download is stuck. Ive tried clearing cache & data on download manager & market with no success. I flashed i9000 jm8 last night on my i897 captivate and the market worked for about 20 mins even tho half of downloads wouldnt finish so i had to restart them...but now the market still is stuck on starting download. I ran i9000 jp3 2.2 yesterday and market worked perfectly, this is weird wtf google?

this happened to me when I moved for JF6 to JH3. I retraced my steps and it turned out that if I loaded my accounts from Titanium backup, I couldn't download apps from the market and it was stuck at starting to download. My suggestion is once you have your phone flashed the way you want it, restore only your apps, system settings, email, sms & mms..... restore your accounts manually.

I manual entering my email accounts, not using titanium backup to back up anything.

Old Android Market after stock 2.2 update

I just updated to the stock 2.2 and noticed the android market app is the old version. Anybody else have this issue? Is there anyway to update it?

Clear the app data in the manage applications menu. Should fix it.

I noticed that the first time I ran the market app after the Froyo install, it was loading a different interface. The next time I used it, it reverted to the old one again. I've tried deleting the app date, rebooting, etc, but it never has gone back to the new one.

It will give it time to update. I flashed last night to clear out a few things and the market was an older one and stayed that way for like 4 hours, Then it changed.

After the update, I had the ancient market. After I waited about 5 minutes and checked again, the new interface was installed, no need to clear any data. The ROM must have included the other one and out just needed to update like on the old ROM.

Hmmm. I just browsed the market for quite some time, and it never has switched over to the new layout.

You probably need exit the market first. Try exiting and then restart your phone after a little bit to see if it installs the update. Remember that it's a background update and may not happen immediately.

Would it matter if I was on wifi instead of Edge for this to occur?

I was on wifi, but it shouldn't matter.

I just did a factory reset on my phone in order to attempt to fix the Quick Office problem, the market update, and some other weird quirks. So far everything appears to be fixed except the market. The very first time I loaded it, it was the new interface. The next time it switched right back to the old one.

OK probably stupid, but when I saw people talking about new market I thought it was just the apps available, and since I could get flash, I thought I had it. Now I see folks mentioning different interface? What's supposed to be different on the interface ? I think I have the same one as I had on 2.1

What little I saw of it, the layout didn't have so much green color to it, and the top interface was different. I plan on trying to delete the app data for it today and try to get it to update once I go into town and get closer to a tower. Maybe it will finally download and update.

Anyone else still have the old market showing up? It's been several days now even after a factory reset, and even though my phone loaded the new interface on the first run, it went right back to the old and never has updated. I've cleared data and so on, but nothing works. Should I try the "Uninstall Update" button for the market app?

I had this problem...I was told to go to Applications->Manage Applications->All->Market and select "Clear Data". Then reboot phone. This should cause your "Market" to update after several minutes.
This worked for me.

Sorry I just read your post again and you stated that you already cleared data. I am not sure what to try. I cleared data rebooted left the phone alone for about twenty minutes then checked and the market updated.

download unsuccessful, please try again. tried all solutions. is market down?

tried clearing cache/data of everything related to market, tried uninstalling market updates, resigning in with google, everything. it just WONT WORK and im going nuuutss
already tried pretty much everything on here and google.
wont work over wifi or 3g. was fine, i flashed a MT4G rom, IceGlacier, and ive reset and NANDroided back to CM7, still seeing the problem.

Nope. Not just you.. I'm having the same problem. Might be that there's an issue on their end.

Strange, is working for me.

Not working for me either.
Keeps starting download. But it doesn't really start.

Done.
Re-installed Google Talk.

How are we to reinstall Google Talk without the market working?

When it happens, usually by removing my sd card i can get it to work

I ultimately tried 16 different things to fix this. Finally got it working by using the CM7 settings (not booting into recovery) to do a factory reset and re-format of the SD card on my computer (not from the phone). I'm afraid to do a restore though. Going to manually download and set everything back up again. My two-day nightmare is over, but now I've got another day ahead of me getting everything back and set up.

Like the title says I am unable to open sms/mms and do not receive messages as well. I am new to rooting and am wondering if anyone out there can help me.... Do i need to reinstall everything or is their an easy fix? Thanks for the help in advance. Also I am using GO Launcher

Need a bit more info about the behavior. Does it force close? What happens?

It just wont open it really wont do anything. Every time i try and open the text messages the phone lags and a black box pops up and then immediately closes it. It doesnt even stay open long enough for me to read it. So what I ended up doing was doing a complete data wipe and re-flashing and reinstalling everything. I havent had an issue since I have done that. The only bad part was I lost all of my txt messages.

Sounds like it could have been a couple of things. The message database could have been corrupted. Also, the stock messaging app really doesn't like large SMS databases.

Maybe a bad download of the ROM depending on whether you installed it in CWM... Can't have a bad download with the Odin (or the update in Tweaktools), as it checks the integrity of the file.

I actually just had this problem last week. I was using the stock msg app but it also affected my phone function and any app that needed to connect to a data connection. All apps force closed.
Another note is that this was immediately after an hour long session of using wifi tether over 4g. I rebooted and after boot almost no apps responded and my phone heated up (I assume applications were looping in the background after failing to open running the processor at 100%) so i turned off and went into recovery. Factory reset did nothing, clearing cache did nothing and i couldn't try any other apps due to the phone crashing. Only solution i found was a complete reflash of Tweaked.
I fear this happening again in the future so i figured i'd post my similar experience.

[Q] Unfortunately, xxxx has stopped

I've been getting this off and on with certain apps (including Settings). I've usually been able to reboot the phone and everything will work fine for a while. But now every time I go into Settings/WiFi to select a new network I'm getting 'Unfortunately, Settings has stopped'. Even after powering the phone off and back on I still get this error every time I do this. Has anyone else had this problem and hopefully found a solution?

Try clearing your phones Cache and Dalvik Cache (If you can) through Recovery, report back if this helped.

Try to set your theme to the default. There is a bug with the theme engine.

I ended up unlocking and rooting the phone which required a reload. I'm no longer having the problem but I didn't start having the problem until after I had the phone for several days. I guess I'll see if the problem comes back. If it does I'll try the suggestions here to see if it clears it up.
