Market won't download apps

Any app(paid or free) won't go past the "Download Starting..." Status. It has been driving me crazy for hours now. I've restored the phone with the latest RUU 3 Times now, I've tried the stock rom, modaco, and TTG. Its a Google Phone w/ Recovery 1.5.2. I'm getting annoyed with the phone and I'm about to through it out, It has been working nearly perfect(random slow downs and crashes) until today.

i had the same problem
i had to do a total wipe of the phone to get it back to normal

I flashed it with the RUU? Isn't that the way to "fully" wipe it?

Same here. I did ruu then flashed fresh 1.1 and gumbo kernel. All my apps were in my downloads but they wouldn't download to the phone. Stayed stuck at application downloading. Did a nandroid backup and that fixed it.

I completely wiped everything, with these commands:
Code:
wipe /
wipe -data
wipe /data
wipe -all
I don't know which commands worked for doing what but I couldn't even boot into android or recovery.

Um..
Its a market wide issue... No reset is gonna help.. It was just circumstance that you thought that...
I'm a Sprint Tech, and it has been brought to my attention all day, whether you have a Hero or a Moment, its sporadic outages.

Did you use a task manager or anything that disables apps on start-up?
I had that problem until I figured out disabling Google Talk from start-up gave me that problem. Opening Google Talk, magically fixed the problem for me. May or may not be the case for you, but something to think about.

That sucks, the day I choose to reflash the market is down. Oh well. Anyone know how to do a FULL Wipe or were my commands right?

Need to open google talk and sign in.
That fixed it for me, and a few of my friends!

I experienced this problem, and found that A2SD is the cause.
Not sure if you're using it nor not.

Try this LINK HERE
Read post #37 by me and try it this should fix the issue without doing a wipe

I've fixed the issue, I had to boot into fastboot and manually delete everything on the phone(directory "/") and used the latest RUU. I manually rooted the phone and installed the 1.5.2 Recovery. I did a factory reset, deleted dalvik-cache and boot-cache and installed a custom rom. I couldn't get service but a reboot fixed it. I have 150mb free space on my phone and market works without problems.

or could have just signed into gtalk...

Has anyone tried signing onto gtalk?

Sound like your problem wasn't just a market problem.

All you actually had to do was change your Gmail password. The phone will then force you back through the Google account sign-in process. This fixes most Gmail syncing issues and Market download issues.

are you using wi-fi to download the app? I never had much success doing that myself. always had to use EVDO.

For those of you who get 1000000 force closes after installing a custom rom

So... sometimes when I install a custom rom I will use it for a week, then it will just start force closing everything (Keyboard, facebook, etc.) So I did some research, and from the G1 CyanogenMod wiki I found this...http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=DangerSPL_and_CM_5_for_Dream
(Look under troubleshooting and wipe)
I'm not sure if this applies to us, but apparently if we wipe the Dalvik Cache and reinstall the ROM it fixes the problem. I recently switched to Andromeda and I haven't had the "Force close of death" Problem since I started doing the following DIRECTLY AFTER flashing a new rom:
1) Go to ClockworkMod Recovery
2) Go to advanced whatever (I don't have my phone with me, sorry I can't be more helpful with menus =/
3) Select wipe Dalvik cache
4) reinstall the ROM (For me, andromeda) through cwm recovery, and presto! those nasty force closes are gone. I tested this with Cognition, which was what was giving me the force closes and convinced me to switch to Andromeda, and the FC problem was solved!
Sorry if this was already posted somewhere, I DID search the forum and saw nothing on this exact problem so yeah, here ya go! Let me know if I forgot a step/am completely wrong. All I can say is that this worked for me.
Hopefully this helps someone!

Damn, I've only had 999998 Force Closes, so I guess it doesn't apply to me.
Just kidding, I'll have to try this next time.

Haha yeah. I noticed it usually happens after leaving my phone on for more than a day, then turning it off and charging it, then turning it back on. It seems like it only wants to charge when it's turned on or else it's "force close this" and "force close that"

Alot of the custom roms wipe the dalvik cache when they're installed I think. It can be put in the update script.

How do I fix the com.wssyncmldm error post-kd1 update?

KD1 installed but I had to reroot the phone and re-mount my link2sd partition.
Now I get CONSTANT "The application Device management (process com.wssyncmldm) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
PS. T-Mobile did NOT ASK if I wanted the update. It just installed. Last night I looked at the phone and it said T-Mobile update downloading. Today repeated error message. Nice.

flash KD1 with ODIN, i do not know enough to dig into it. that would be the easiest method to me.

Had this same problem since morning. Try go to titanium backup and freeze Device Management. Work for me so far.

Same Issue...What I have done so far
I was getting the constant force close mentioned above. I read on some forum that I should go into recovery and wipe cache. I did and then rebooted. I did get one force close message, but have not had one since. If i continue I will go into titanium and freeze that app.

Update...I had to go into titanium backup and freeze the device management app. This solved the problem.
Little plug for Titanium Backup. Fantastic app for root users.

you had to reroot it? that's a bummer so it's pretty much like having the update occur normally except this ones deodexed.
quick question, so you absolutely have to use odin with it? it won't work right with heimdall?

Mine was downloading the update..never installed or asked to..it was downloading and then just stopped... Now I get the force close and it hasn't updated either...
Would my phone being rooted prevent the install from going through properly? I don't want the update to NOT go through... But I also don't know why I get the device management force close all the time for no reason ...any ideas appreciated?
also haven't really had time to be on the site or do any mods in quite some time so I apogize if I'm not up to date on something but this was the only thread found regarding the device management force close

Me too...what the hell!!!????

[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***

[Q] Market fails on downloads

My market will not download anything at all, it loops 'downloading' and 'download paused' then fails out. Currently running Eclipse v1.1 with imnuts PBJ non-oc kernal.
I tried the market fix posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1121179 and tried swapping out the Vending.apk. I cleared the data/cache as well, that didn't do anything either.
I also tried Gummy Charged(1.8.1 and 1.8.5) and Humble 1.1 roms, still no dice.
Any ideas or recommendations would be appreciated.

Go into applications in the settings menu. Force stop and clear data then retry. If that doesn't work try restarting the phone. That worked for me.

I had tried doing that with all the roms I ran, didn't do anything. I just odined back to ED1 and market is working. Going to flash back to Eclipse and see what happens.

That was my second idea. Lol. Was to just reflash the ROM. Hope that works for you.

Back up and working, weird.

try opening your google talk, i had that problem before on my Incredible and by doing that and logging it in, it fixed it.
