[Q] android market downloading problem - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

I have a problem with downloading apps from the android market. everytime I try to download one it gets stuck on "Downloading"
Now before u jump at me saying that it is a common problem and that I should search it up, just know that I did search not just here but all over google and did find some sulotions but nothing seemed to work.
some of the sulotions I tried:
clearing data and cache for download manager, market, google apps etc..
uninstalling a bunch of apps and wiping dalvik cache
factory reset, which worked but after a couple of days the problem came back.
I'm runnig MIUI 2.2.3 (android 2.3.7) on my htc desire hd

Please can someone help?

You did force close the market and reopen it right?
Also, try a different google account

I don't believe that's the problem because I just found out that I can't download files through the miui browser as well, but I can download with firefox for android. Based on that I believe that it has something to do with the download manager maybe, but as I mentioned before I already tried clearing its data.. any thoughts?

I have this problem on my CM9 Photon....

this is happening on my phone. it's stuck on the notification thing even tho it's been installed.

If you have the dalvik to cache the cache apps won't download

Perhaps you have some internet settings changed through apps e.g. droidwall, lbe privacy guard, tethering apps? When I have problems with market downloads, I have to reboot phone then clear data/cache for download manager and market.
Try using mobile data instead of wifi, or vice versa.

My dalvik cache is located in /data and not in /cache if that's what u ment, though I have a dalvik-cache folder inside /cache but it's empty..

I can download data over wifi and mobile data just not from the market and the miui browser (I have firefox as well).
I cheked my firewall and it's not what's blocking it and I don't have and of the apps u mentioned...

If theres no apps in the mod yet than thats not thw problem you must have accidentally changed some stuff around maybe permissions etc

Problem with Market, stuck on installing

I had 3 apps that needed updating so I clicked update all. 1 app updated then I got a force closed, now the other 2 won't install and no matter what I try, it's stuck on installing. I tried clearing Market data and cache, I even uninstalled the 2 apps under manage applications.
Is there a way to reinstall Market, or reset it? I'm running nfinites stock .7 ROM.

This is a google problem, it's happening to CM users as well Nothing to really do but wait until google fixes their servers
Ah. Its been in issue on my device too.

I had the same problem. What you do is go Menu>Settings>Applications>Mangage Applications. Select the tab for all. Go to Market. Clear data and Clear cache. It will get rid of the persistent download that is causing market FC
Found a work around. Had to unmount the SD card, search the Market for the apps I needed to update, download and install, remount the SD card then move the updated apps to the SD card. Pain in the ass but it works.

App market won't download apps

When I try to download apps it says it was unsuccessful. Regardless of whether it is wi-fi or 3g. First time I've had this problem. Any suggestions?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Try clearing your cache and deleting the .android_secure folder on your sdcard. Might also use a file manager like EStrong's to go into your download folder and delete any download-file.apk files and then reboot, that usually works for me.
Thanks for the info. I tried it but it's still not working. Any other ideas?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Is it possible you deleted the Google Talk app, without downloads never complete.
No, its still there. I already pursued that avenue. I'm totally stumped this one.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Ok....for some reason unknown to me, it started working again.

It's the Market's cache. A lot of Android users had this problem. Clear the Market's cache, reboot and you're all fine.

[Q] need suggestions on fixing FC's

for some reason the last 3 apps i've installed all FC on me. at least 2 were from the market. prior to this i've installed a ton of apps from the market and TB.
open maps, movies, yelp.
i managed to install yelp after i uninstalled movies. not sure why that mattered. i actually got the FC message but then it went away. movies still didn't install correctly. i've completely removed open maps.
i've heard fixing permissions in cwr can work but i've screwed up my phone on a prior rom doing that so i'm really weary of using it. also, why would i need to fix permissions if it's a new install?
Update: fixing permissions did nothing. Does clearing dalvik do anything?

Clear cache and dalvik and try again. If you still have problems, then reflash your ROM on top of your existing ROM without wiping anything. If you still have problems after doing this, then backup your apps/app data with Titanium and then do a full wipe (system, data, cache; everything). Then reinstall your ROM, then install Titanium and restore your apps (do not restore system settings; only restore apps and app data).
Sorry didn't finish reading it but do what Henry said

Nope. I just flashed a different ROM which didn't have these issues.

Market force closes on Valhalla Black 1.6

Add title suggests, my marketplace app force closes when it is attempting to update a previously installed app (restored backup app) or when I try to install something new. It also force closes sometimes when I use Google maps, or any other Google apps.
Can this be fixed? I want to install new things! :-(

I would clear market data and cache and possibly uninstall updates and see if that fixes your issues
Clear cache as in from clock work?

I meant from the app in settings but if that doesnt work I would clear from CWM, cant hurt. Otherwise reflashing the rom may help as a last resort

[Q] Android Market problem on HTC Inspire

I rooted my phone to CM7 a few days ago and ever since the market changed to google play i have to download the apk files for apps off of the interwebs. i wanted to install the market but every time it opens i get an error message saying it force closed. tried all the remedies including reflashing CM7, re installing the market, clearing all data and cache, etc. I finally downloaded Google Services Framework, and it loaded all the way up to where i could add my google account and accept terms and services, but now it's right back to force closing on me. Help?
