Hey there!
Today is my first day running with miui 1.9.30 on my desire s.
I switched from VoidU 1.1a just to try some new stuff.
Everything is working fine, but when trying to download apps from the store, it's just not working.
It says "Starting Download...", the page reloads but progress is stuck at "Starting Download".
In the "My Apps" menu, the download is listed, but also stuck on starting.
Wasn't able to find a solution to this problem so far.
I tried wiping cache / market data / google apps data.
Some people said it's related to google talk. So i have overwritten it with a different version, still no progress.
All other downloads are working fine. I can download from the internet and through the MIUI theme manager.
The Appstore even calls me when i have new updates.
Google Sync also syncs without problems
Does anyone have / had similar issues?
Aqua
PS: Yes i have looked in the Download App.
I am using a WPA secured WiFi connection.
When that happened to my GF the problem was that the language set for her Google account wasn't the same as the language on her phone. Switching that fixed it.
Today exactly the same thing happened also to me.
When trying to download apps from the market, it said "Starting Download...", the page reloads but progress was stuck at "Starting Download".
Yesterday everything was fine.
I tried now to switch from 3G to Wireless, and downlaoding apps.
This seemed to help, now downloading apps worked.
Then i switched back to 3G, and downloading apps from the market still works.
So the problem seems to be solved now.
Perhaps it was a temporary general problem of the market, or switching from 3G to wireless (and then switching back) helped.
Solved it!
Solution was as stupid as the problem itself.
Our wifi network got upgraded the last week.
As a side effect, some ports got locked again.
And yep, the market port was one of them.
Tried at a different wifi location and the downloaded worked fine again
This needn't to be the problem. I had the same with Voidu and Virtuous. The solution was either to change language (but worked only for couple of minutes) or uninstall update of Market to 3.1.5 (then you have to delete marketupdater.apk, otherwise it installs the update again).

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.

Hello there, have you managed to solve the download staling issue?
CHeers
I am running Geomod on my Captivate and the rom has been great but for some reason the market stopped letting me download anything from it. It shows me the Android bot with 3 lines coming out of each side of it and says download unsuccessful. I downloaded apps before and just did a couple days ago so I'm not sure why it just stopped working. I tried different solutions that people suggested (deleting cache/data from download manager, turning off phone and starting back up, using 3G instead of wifi). It's been about 8 hours since the market stopped working and still nothing. I'd like to not have to reset because I don't want to lose my Angry Birds progress lol. Please help, thanks.
If it coincided with the ROM Install, then it is probably the Android ID issue people have discussed.

It doesn't coincide with the rom install. I install the rom about a week ago and was able to download apps but it just started to stop working recently.
Don't know if this works for everyone but I went into my browser cache, cleared and retried the marketplace and it worked after that.
Ok all of a sudden it works now...weird. Thanks.
Im running a stock EVO with out root and Im having the same problem... I dunno when it started... I did some app updates earlier and Im not even sure if they went thru, but I was on the Must have apps thread and was trying to DL a few and I cant get any of them to work, I Battery pulled, cleared DL cache and tried wifi-3g &4g, nothing is working...
I am using the stock firmware and couldn't download anything from the market at all last night. It always stopped with download unsuccessful. I cleared the DL cache and the Market data but it didn't fix anything. Then this morning it worked.
I think it was a problem with the Market.
Gtalk
You have to be logged into Gtalk to dowlnoad anything from the Market. There's some weird link between Gtalk & Market. Make sure to exclude Gtalk from any Task Killer Apps

good tip but I'm not sure that's totally accurate. After a flash I always uncheck "sign in automatically" in Gtalk and then sign out of it. Because of suspected battery drain. Never had a problem with the market
Today I received my new shiny Asus Transformer, everything works great except the Market itself...
I can't even download any apps, paid or free. When I try to download any apps, it start like trying to download, but there is no progress on notification bar and it just keep like that.
I reset the tablet several times, also, cleaned the cache of the Market and Framework services, shutdown (restart) several times... nothing
Is this happening to anyone? I searched this forum and performed the steps above, but still nothing...
Please, help
Have you look into My App area, you will see, not installed list of apps. I get that as well...I am not sure if it's a bug or intended. Sometimes, it would stay at download forever. I got to go out and go back into the Market and redo it all over.

Yes, sometimes the apps I am trying to download don't even appear there and sometimes it does. When it says "Installing" sometimes, 1 hour can pass and still nothing... no progress on the notification bar.
In fact, I can't install anything from there, not even using the website version, https://market.android.com/
I had/have this same issue I think its a bug in the market app. I've just flashed the new firmware and it seems to work OK now.
My solution was to press back over and over until I exited the market fully, then start a new instance of it. Works on and off.
Ill let you know if the update solves this issue.

Thanks for the info.
I tried that, still no luck I need to know if this is a widespread issue or not.
I have the EVO and tried to download apps and install them now without any problems.
Also, I have discovered that I can't log in into GTalk either, but I can browse without any issues.

Sounds like an odd issue with your account. Try to check settings, accounts an sync .. and see if anything is amiss. If not, then try to create a new gmail account, and use that to login to market/gtalk. See if there is some confusion as to your phone account and your tablet. Do you have settings>Privacy ticked off for google to back up your apps and sync them? Try disabling if so.
Had same issue and went into settings and had to delete my gmail account and then add it again, worked fine after that!
Thanks for the replies.
1. The Backup and Restore settings are turned off.
2. I have created another Google account and removed the original, still the same problem.
3. The EVO is currently off just in case.
After doing some research, I've discovered that Gtalk have something to do with the Market, if Gtalk can sign in, then the market should works for downloads. If not, then there is a problem.
ok... wtf
After adding a new Google account while replacing the original one, the issue still happened.
Then, I decided for a million times, to make another Factory Reset with my original account again... now GTalk logon and the Market download/install apps
I will keep this thread in mind and report if anything weird happens again.
Android Market hates me. I didn't really want to have to create another gmail account but I have tried every other trick posted and still can't get apps to download.
I had this same problem with my Samsung Fascinate. 3G would download fine but I couldn't get WiFi to work until just recently when I updated the radio that came with the OTA Froyo update plus a new custom rom/kernel. I'm not sure which piece all of the sudden made things work but I was certainly happy. What's so frustrating is that I set up a Droid on the same home network with absolutely no problems from day one.
Amazon App store works fine but many of the apps I want aren't available there. Grrr.

This occurred to me after rooting the TF. I was able to correct it by going into applications and force stop and clearing data on both Market and both google framework services. Then try to restart market, if you don't get a error go back to applications and do it again. Once you get the error reboot, when you try market after the reboot it will ask you to accept terms again and then all is was right again with the world.
I have the same problem. How I can do a Factory Reset?
It was working ok but now it gives an error with the server. Eventually it will download the aplication after trying several times but will fail in the instalation. I have deleted and created again my account with no results.
Welcome to my problem. Another member told me the issue lies with our google accounts and how it syncs up with the market.
I have tried the other methods deleting cache / signing in and out etc. to no avail.
Only solution is to factory reset. Sad thing is it has happened to me 3x in the past 5 days.
I only hope for a solution to this soon.
3 times, that is scary.
Something has surprised me when I upgraded my phone to the new Galaxy S 2 from HTC HD 2 running an Android rom. When I introduced the google account it automaticaly pointed me all the aplications that I had installed in the old phone (free or paid) and give me an easy option to install all quickly. They were identified as my aplications, even they were not installed.
Is this funtion present here? It will remember what aplications I had installed in the transformer before or I will need to look for all of them again?
solution to download apps
press on apps on the home screen. then press on market. this will get you started click on sign in at top right of screen. it should automatically do a sign in with your google account. then go from there
I have gone through all the market posts here and none have helped. I have tried everything suggested.
Problem: I can view/install market apps that i haven't installed before on my phone. however, if i have installed an app it will not allow me to download the app and says "attention network connectivity error". Also pressing "my apps" gives the same error.
I can go to martket.android.com and it works perfectly but is an annoying workaround. I can also use another gmail and it works, but that is lame since I would like everything synced.
So, has anyone had this issue and had it fixed?
Hi all,
I've been having problems with the Google Play Store (formerly Android Market) where the My Apps page does not load (constant No connection message with the Retry button) when trying to access it over a 3G connection.
My 3G connectivity is very good, strong signal, web browsing and speed test are all ok.
The Play Store will load ok on the main landing page and I can search Play store ok. I can also go to my apps and slide across to the All tab on My Apps but the Installed tab just sits there and eventually times out. Note: Everything works perfectly on a WIFI connection.
I've tried Market Enabler and also the multitude of other fixes for general Market errors without success.
Please someone help. I'm rooted, S-OFF, Stock 3.32.401 firmware, Android Revolution 6.6.2 XE rom. I've superwiped and started again from scratch with the ROM and still the same issue.
Any suggestions welcome.

With "multitude of other fixes" we don't know what you have tested or tried so far
Have you cleared Play Store cache or removed your play store account and added it back in?
Hi talitainment. I've cleared Play Store cache, then cleared data on Google Services Framework, rebooted (cold boot). No joy.
Tried Superwipe and fresh clean ROM install, configured basics for setting up phone on first boot, reboot, then entered market and still the same issue.
I can get into the Play Store and browse, search, download etc, but if I try to go to My Apps I get the error (but only ion a 3G connection). On WIFI all is fine, no issues at all.
It's more frustrating than anything else and previously on ExtremeSensation Prime5 ROM all was fine.
Try to fix permitions in recovery. =) This should solve the problem.
Fix permissions completed without any issues. Reboot. Enter Play Store, go to My Apps and Loading.............. then..... yep, nothing.
No connection message and a retry button after about 2 minutes waiting. Very odd.
I'm tempted to restore my Prime ROM backup and maybe go back to Revolution at a later date.
If I do, I'll post back here to report if Play Store works without issues on Prime.
Might not be today as I've a busy day ahead.
I'm having the same issue on my X10. It just started the other day. Does anyone have any more ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks,
Hope this thread will help you.

Same error with me. No play store on 3g only WiFi.
Tried flashing gapps etc that comes with my ROM but no luck.
Hi,
For most Play Store errors,delete the account,reboot,then,re-install the account.
