[Q] Can't download from android app store - Captivate General

Don't know if this is in the right forum but i had to flash back to stock with odin now i can't download from the app. I have a samsung captivate SGH-I897 all it says is starting download, i've been trying to download an app for 4 days. My wifi connection is excellent so i can't see why it isn't downloading. Thanks in advance.

Try clearing the market's app data in the phone's settings.

Where is the market app data?

I've found how to do it but it's still not downloading, does it have anything to do with that when i unlocked my phone my imei changed.

Clear the data of Download Manager.

ok i did that but it still not working just did a search and found out thats the reason why. Since my imei changed i can't download from the appstore is there anway to change it back to the origional

Are you running the newest version of Market? When I flash back to an earlier release it get the same behavior until it updates and then I can download again.

Newest Market Update??

Does anyone no what the latest market version is? After going back to stock using Odin_UCKE3_v2 my market is stuck on the old design and i tried going into settings and clearing data and rebooting but it's not updating the market?

Thanks, I actually may have fixed it by accident. I used odin and again and used the PIT this time and then went into 3e and went to the option to delete user data and when the phone rebooted i went thru the setup guide and skipped everything. I then went to the market and it had me go thru the google sign up guide and i signed into my account and then i went into the manage applications and saw that the market version was 2.3.6 so Im not sure if what i did worked or if it was just me.
Just FYI it auto updates to the latest version. Had the same thing happen to a new Infuse I picked up today for my wife.
Hers hadn't updated after 10 minutes so did the following (posted on a Google help forum I can't link to because I'm noob):
Delete the market's cache and data and force close it, reboot your phone. After reboot start the market wait a minute go back to home and then restart the market.
This "worked" for me, but waiting a little longer or rebooting may have been what actually fixed it.

I did delete the cache and data and i waited like an hour and it didn't update. Whatever i did before worked.
Thanks for your help.
try downloading an app, it should then say updates available in the notification bar, it may automatically update or you can go into "my apps" and see the updates. if that doesnt work i guess i can pull the apk and post it
I got it figured out, but before it did update some apps.
It eventually changes, mine stayed liek that for 3 days i think then just changed to the new one...
i kind of like the old one tho.

HTC Inspire stuck in update loop

This is a noobish question. We have a htc inspire 4G that's been stuck in a loop trying to update Adobe flash 10.3 and is using up data like crazy. There seems to be no way to stop it. Any suggestions?
Have you tried uninstalling it then reinstalling 10.2?

So you're saying that in market, you see that striped green progress bar indicating it's downloading/updating and it never seems to start doing anything/ finish?
If that's the case, I've solved that one by unchecking "update automatically," cancelling the download, back out a couple of screens, then to the apps page in market and push update.
That usually gets the download to actually start downloading, and finish.
I don't know if this will work in your situation. Please be as specific as possible when describing issues you are having. It makes troubleshooting much easier to do.
Thanks for your replies. We have tried uninstalling it, in both cases we get a progress bar that never ends. In the case of an uninstall it only allows us to uninstall the updates and says it is a system app as why.
It will not let us stop the download. We have tried stopping data connections and then uninstalling the updates, but to no avail. Even when the device is offline, the uninstall progress bar keeps going as if stuck in a loop just as happens with the install from market.
For the record, this is a completely unmodded device.
this happened to me also. i went to menu/settings/aplications/manage aplications/found the market app and then cleared cache and data. then opened app back up and proceded with the download. it worked for me

You'll need to stop the process on that screen first before you clear the cache. I've had to do this with several apps so it's a good workaround to be familiar with.
Thanks for the tips. This is what I did:
1. Put the device in airplane mode to stop the download.
2. Rebooted.
3. Went into settings/applications/manage applications and cleared the cache and data
4. Rebooted again
5. Returned to settings/applications/ manage applications and selected uninstall updates
Same result. It was stuck trying to uninstall.
Edit. Actually, it is worse than i thought. As a control i tried downloading an update from a different app after i stopped the Adobe flash update. - same result. Then i tried to download a random free app. - it won't download. Then i tried to uninstall an app. - it got stuck on the progress bar. So, the problem seems to be system wide.
Anyone ever heard of something like this?

[Q] Market Apps wont download

I am using Coredroid V7.
When I am trying to download apps from the official app market, it doesnt download.
it says downloading then just clears itself out. i try it again it doesnt download it.
i even did a full wipe(1.5 and coredroid wipe) then freshly flashed the rom again, then it doesnt download again.
because of that i even had to RE-root my phone..well that didnt fix it as well..
it worked completely fine in 6.7. can anyone help me whats wrong with it? i even resetted my phone..nothing worked...
im trying to download miren browser..
Wow hmm I had this before. Are you setting up any accounts after flashing? What I mean is once you flash and get to set up tutorial,when it asks about setting up accounts,so u log into Facebook or Google right then?

Well, after the extensive wiping/rerooting/reflashing/reseting you've done, to no avail, maybe it's just the market acting up.
I've run into similar download issues both stock/unrooted and custom/rooted, from time to time. It's usually that stuck progress bar that never seems to move and never finishes, almost always when trying download something that's set to update automatically.
I've also run into specific downloads not kicking in, as you're describing. It usually clears itself up if I just wait a little while and try again.
Not a very specific solution to your problem, but all I'm saying is that after all you've done to "reset," that should have taken care of the problem, if the problem was indeed on your end.
FWIW.

Do a Search for Full Wipe, there is something you can run that just cleans yer device completely. I would try that. Else; I am unsure.
Settings->Applications->Market-> Clear Data/Cache ???
Worked for me =(
It's just a sporadic issue with the Android Market. I have encountered this very same problem and thought it was the rom but never did any reflashing or wiping data/cache but then I would go try to download an app and it would successfully download and install. I think it's an issue with the android market.

Just fyi, I flashed v7 tonight, and installed several apps after the fact, so I can at least assure you that it's but the ROM.

Solution kinda
I was having the same problem tried all sorts of wipes to no avail ended up just downloading and installing new cooler looking app market thinking it would solve my problem but it didn't just gave me an error message to go along with it.....so the solution u say......annoyingly simple really reboot into recovery after installing new market clear cache and dalvik cache too just to be sure.
confirmed working as of 5 minutes ago.
with new market
on virtuous unity rom (but I don't see a reason it shouldn't work on most roms with weird market bug)
new market ***here***

Playstore network error

Ok every time I install a new ROM now my play store has network error. I go into settings and Google sync error is showing up. Everything syncs except play store. I used to get google search not able to connect but that is gone away now. I believe it has something to do with my network. I was finally able to get beanstalk play store to work by switching network modes but I can not get other ROMs to do it. I have searched this topic and have tried everything I have tried changing file host checking date and time clearing cache factory resets remove account etc. I have odin back to stock and reroot and unlocked several times. Could it be my stock image is bad when going back to stock? Does anyone have any answers to this problem?
