I posted this over in the android general section. Hoping someone over here might see it since its on my Infuse.
I have a similar problem that many people have had with downloading apps from the market, however none of the solutions i have seen work. I purchased ADW Launcher Ex from the market the other day and it wouldnt authorize. I replaced all my billing info and then it authorized fine. I click on the purchased button and it authorizes, then says starting download, but after about 5 seconds it just stops and goes back to the bottom of the "my apps" list. I dont get a notification saying the download was unsuccessful, but when i try to download and install again, it says download unsuccessful and just goes through the same process all over again. Anything and everything else downloads and installs just fine.
I have tried wiping data and cache of the market and download manager.
I have restored my phone using CWM to a previous backup.
I have reinstalled my custom rom.
I tried an alternate rom.
I have reset my phone to factory.
I reinstalled the stock rom.
I tried logging out of and back into Talk.
I added another gmail account as well.
If ANYONE has any other ideas PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let me know. Stupid google hasnt emailed me back yet, so i figured id probably get more help here anyway. Thanks in advance.
Your external SD card is causing issues with the mounted filesystem.
Try backing up everything that's on the card in your pc first, and then format the card. See if your purchases load then...

Just tried that and it didnt work. Downloaded GTG's ultimate unbrick to go back to complete stock. Still not downloading. I have no idea what else i could possibly do.
Try to set up a new account and see if you can down load things through that.

Im able to download everything else just fine with the same account. Its only ADW for some reason.
And of course im still waiting for google to get back to me.
Dont know why. But it just decided to download all on its own. Thanks for all the suggestions.

It takes some time to authorize a purchase sometimes. I bought Launcher Pro, and it said "authorizing" and didn't download. I went to bed and when I woke up it had downloaded.

I can't seem to download anything. I got my replacement Cap today and I put my SIM card and battery in it. I started to download SMS Backup and Restore but it wouldn't download or install successfully. I put my SIM card and battery back on my old Cap and tried to download SMS Backup and Restore, and other apps on the Market. Nothing. Can't even download the latest version of Google Maps.
Anybody?
EDIT: Yes, it's down. All of us are experiencing the same Download Pause, or Downloading... (hangups), or Install Unsuccessful. It's not you, or the ROM you've just flashed. It's Googey.
EDIT #2: It's back up and running. Download away!!!

I mean, I can get on and browse and all. But I can't download. Clearing the cache, um...it's a brand new phone (from the Warranty dept) that I received and I just put my SIM card and battery in it. Brand spankin' new. Plus, I even did a factory reset thinking it would resolve the problem.
Seems people are having problems downloading too. Great.
Problems here also....

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.
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?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
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.
Sent from the computer I carry in my pocket.
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***
Exactly what the subject says. I tried clearing all data in the market app but that doesn't seem to be the problem. I'm running stock 2.2.2 with an OC kernel. Any help would be appreciated.

What are the symptoms that you are experiencing when you try to download an app
Sent From My Stock G2x
It says "Your item will be downloaded," after which the download bar appears. It disappears after a second as if the download had never even begun.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
Try deleting dalvik cache, fix permissions. Turn off the phone for few minutes, turn it back on.
Did this started to happen after flashing kernel?
Make sure you are in a good reception area as well.
Sent From My Stock G2x
I think it did happen after kernel flashing. Sounds like a good idea. I'll try that and if it doesn't work I'll try reflashing Google apparently. I've noticed authentication errors. Barring that it's back to stock. Thanks for the advice

Same thing happened to me.. I fixed permission from Rom manager then reboot.
Now its working fine.
Just tried that myself. It seems to be working again

This same exact thing happened to me after changing kernels. I went back to stock and it was still happening. Four hours later everything was fine again. Weird.
Not only do you need to clear market data.. But make sure you clear 'download manager' data too in applications
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
The problem started up again and continued after flashing back to stock. Someone else said that in this thread. I'll try the download manager wipe suggestion too. Thanks for all the input. I'm on a wifi network with a strong signal so it's a stable connection... Aaaaaand... starting download... still starting download... still still starting... At least it's doing something. I'll check back in later. Thanks again!
If I wipe dalvik cache, cache, fix permissions, and reboot after letting the phone sit for 10 minutes I can download four or five apparently after which the problem returns. I've also noticed that Google talk can't seem to log in.

Every rom I've flashed has never synced with the play store to reinstall my apps. I have no idea why. My old phone (gnex) almost always reinstalled all my apps. I don't know if it is something I'm doing wrong, or what. I've let my phone do it's thing for up to an hour after a flash, still nothing. If anyone has any idea of why this is happening please let me know. Thanks

I never liked google restoring apps, was always hit and miss too for me. I made a aroma installer with all the apps I use and just use that to reinstall but before that I used this and just backed up all my apps to my sd card. I would then just reinstall that app (backed it up too) and just went thru and checked all the apps I wanted to reinstall.
This is for Q & A
Have you checked that the correct Google account in the play store settings is checked? When select My Apps, does it show your previous installed apps? Is auto update checked? What ROM are you currently running?
PM me if u haven't figured it out. I hope u have you tried q&a? Move there

Aroma installer? How can you uuse that if it's not part of the rom? I'm interested in that method if you have time to explain it to me. Thanks. Hopefully i'll here back from you..
Yes, it's setup on the right account. Thanks for the help
