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.

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.

Thanks a lot, i did this and it worked
* I only cleared the data (the cache was disabled)
Hi, I installed an application on my XT720, but I think the installation hanged so I took out the battery to reset the phone. Now it wont install.
I've encountered this problem before by deleting the temp files using root explorer, but I can't seem to find the temp files on this one. Does anyone know where I can find temp files from installations?
thx
if it's rooted already, just use any of the clear cache apps in market, to clean the temps out
also the Dalvik cache
that almost no one reported problem and almost nobody knows how to fix it, I can say that there are caches market or anything like that, the problem is that there are duplicates in a folder on the SD card, and you have to delete the folder is hidden and not visible on the phone and can not erase, deves do it on the pc, and appears as olcuto file in linux and mac, but you can delete it just by putting "view hidden files" Fortunately, it is easy to fix

I have encountered the same problem, but after i cleaned the caches by Cache Cleaner, the problem didn't solve.
When I tried to install the apk file, the device returns the message 'application not installed'.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
I doubt this is your problem, but maybe check the permissions and ownership of your /cache directory. I borked mine once while experimenting and the market was very silently unhappy.
ls -l should give:
drwxrwx--x system cache 2011-03-28 23:13 cache
If it's not owned by the cache group or if the group doesn't have write permission, downloads just go poof. That doesn't sound like your problem, though.
I've had some situations (going all the way back to 2.1) where Market apps wouldn't install the first couple of times I ask, but if I'm persistent and repeatedly keep installing, eventually it will start installing.
Another trick I've found is if the download completes and then the install never starts, try leaving the Market page for the app and come back. Sometimes that kicks the install into gear.

My problem seldom associate with the market apps, but rather the apk files that i backed up before. when i pressed install, the installation bar would load for a while, about 1 second, and then it said application not installed.
This happens when I first try to install angry birds few days ago, the application hanged up with no response, just showing the installation bar. After that i removed the battery and try to install, the apk can't be installed and the above situation happened.
I can still install some of the other apk files, but some cannot. I tried to wipe all the caches as well as factory reset by the openrecovery, but the apk still cannot be installed.
Anyone got the same problem?

Are you on froyo? IIRC Angry Birds tries to install to the SD card using native froyo App 2 SD. Perhaps that's what's not working on your phone. Since not all apps do that it could seem random. See if you can Move to SD any downloaded apps (Settings > Applications > Manage applications > Downloaded > pick one > Move to SD). If you can't there's probably something wrong with your FAT partition on the SD card (e.g. it may need to be reformatted).

i tried your method, and my apps could move to SD.
So what will be the possible reasons for my problem?
Today when i was trying to update skype and download some other applications in the market, this below thing happened to me.
On my drag down task bar there are 17 "ongoing" downloads from android market. even though i cancelled everything, tried also to stop/remove market from app manager, stop google talk (i don't have this installed but i see it in running services?!), rebooting the phone, software repair (failed),... that thing is still there and never goes away.
i'm running out of ideas. anyone can help?
sony ericsson x10i 2.1 update-1
Try deleting the market cache/data. Go to settings > applications > manage applications, then the "all" tab. Find the market & force stop it. Then clear the data & the cache. If the notification is still there, reboot & it should go away.
if in MIUI rom there is a Downloads application to manage download.
duno where to get the apps

So the problem is that your status bar is stuck showing downloads, not necessarily the app itself.
Since you said you uninstalled & reinstalled the market, I'm assuming you're rooted. If this is the case, there's an app on the forums that kills your status bar then restarts it, but I'm not sure if it would work in your situation. It was made with the CM7 theme chooser in mind, so it may only work on 2.3. I'm not sure though, as I've never used it. You could also try booting into recovery & wiping your cache & dalvik cache. If you have a root level file explorer, try going to /cache and deleting any downloadfile.apk files you may see. They may be in /cache/download if that path exists.
If none of that works, you could try reflashing your rom over itself. Just wipe cache/dalvik, not data, and everything should remain as it was unless you've made changes to any system files. And if that doesn't work, I'm all out of ideas.
I am assuming that you've rebooted, but if for some reason you haven't, try that first.
em... now i can't download anything from the market anymore. everytime i choose to download something, it just adds up in the task bar and the downloading never ends. now i have accumulated 18 ongoing downloads even though they are not really downloading anything.
i have a rooted x10 but i cannot find any folder named /cache when browsing using astro file manager.
i don't know how to get into recovery mode to wipe off the cache as you said.
and yes, rebooting was the very first thing i did but it doesn't work...

I'm not sure how to get into recovery on your phone, but I'm sure a quick Google search would yield the answer. You can also try using a cache cleaner app, but it may not solve the problem. If you can get into recovery (again, I'm assuming you're rooted) then go to the "wipe" menu... it may say something else but the word wipe should be there. From there choose to wipe cache & dalvik cache. I think in ClockworkMod that wiping dalvik cache is under "advanced", but I'm not sure if that's your recovery version or if it's even available for your phone.
The only other option would be a factory reset.
Oh, and the /cache directory is on internal memory, not the SD card. Astro is not a root level explorer, so you would need Root Explorer or ES File Explorer.
hi,
i am experiencing the same issues and my phone is not rooted.
i've done the clear cache thing and still the issue persists. the phone also freezes up whereby it does not even register my touch and the screen just blanks out.
any other advice on this please for non-rooted phones??
Hi,
I've just seen this problem on a X10 mini upgraded to android 2.1 update 1.
The solution was to "clear data" and "force stop" for "Download Manager".
IE: go to settings/applications/manage applications, press menu key, select filter and set All, scroll until you find the "Download Manager" entry, select it and then click "clear data" and "force stop"
You can now go to the market and start again any install/upgrade that might have been stuck in the queue before.
Hope it works for you too!
Stupid xperia 10
Okay WTF!, this is the only thread online I found that deals with this problem. Is Sony really that incompetent?.
I've had this problem for a week, I am now upto 35 ongoing downloads. I only had 8 ongoing 3 days ago. I cannot download or install or download and install anything!. This is complete B.S.
I have done everything in this thread and nothing works. Sony still has not e-mailed me back. I am FURIOUS!, WTF is happening!. Why can't I remove these ongoing downloads/updates.
I've done the whole "application manager" B.S. but it won't let me force close my market. I've disabled wi-fi. I am losing my effing mind!.
HAS ANYONE ACTUALLY DEALT WITH AND CORRECTED THIS PROBLEM?. I will give you $5. This is getting retarded.
Oh and FYI "Download manager" does not appear in my list of apps what so ever, and there is no such thing as a "all" tab in my "manage applications" directory.
... Oh great!, I've uninstalled my market but my Icon still appears... Oh look at that the program works "ING! AWESOME!" considering IT DOESN'T EXIST ON MY PHONE ANYMORE! INCLUDING APPLICATION MANAGER! WTF!

Is your phone rooted / what ROM are you using?

THANK YOU! Add me to the list of grateful users as this also worked for me!
I was unable to stop the 'Download Manager' nor 'Downloads' apps, but I cleared cache & data for both, + all of the above for the Google Play Store; removed downloadfile.apk and 2-files from dalvik cache. Notifications stopped !
Then I rebooted. GP-Store (which was already current) indicated they were updating and required my acceptance. Then the store opened normally; I manually download ONE app.
I only download via Wi-fi so Wifi is my emergency panic button.
Thanks again!
thank me if. I helped u guys please im a newbie here
Hey dudes just do as I say during the force download goto settings>applications>manage applications then press menu > filter > all and search for download manager and tap it and force stop it , PROBLEM SOLVED KEEP SMILING , Any way I say xperia always rocks , mail me regarding any doubts
I was recently preparing my Xoom to flash to one of the new ICS roms. As part of this, I installed "rogue_recovery" in order to make a nandroid backup. This included running an "OEM unlock" followed rogue flash via fastboot. The OEM unlock process sent me back to factory defaults.
Once there, I was going to download ROM Manager in order to make the upgrade more simple, but the market downloads appear to be broken.
Right now, my Xoom is downloading marketplace at a pace of approximately 50KB/minute.
I've tried a number of suggestions within the forum:
- clearing dalvik/cache
- clearing market, download manager caches/files
- disabling sync to google
- factory resets
- enabling Google Talk
All data transfers through browser or other applications appear to be functioning at the expected speed.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Turns out there was an issue with my router. Changed out the router and the problem is solved!
Folks: Instructions to enable Wifi hotspot/Tethering on official ICS also work on JB Leak
Follow instructions from the link below http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28867319&postcount=49
How to Enable Tethering on Official ICS
First, thank you cschmitt and Phatboyj420
**On GB you would simply freeze "Tethering Manager" using TiBu. This app no longer exists in ICS. DO NOT FREEZE the confusingly similarly named "TetheringProvision" that you see in ICS!!!!!** Bad things will happen.
1. Download Ultracfg http://hive11.com/android/ics/bloat/UltraCfg.apk
**Don't "install" **
2. Using root explorer, copy and paste file into system/app directory. Scroll down and change permissions to match the other .apk files.
It should be rw-r--r--
I also noticed an ultracfg.odex file with a date of June 23. Backup a copy of this file to your sd card (just in case), then delete it from system/app
3. Reboot, then open UltraCfg and select "Tethering Always On"
4. It will prompt you to reboot again.
5. Go to Tethering in the Settings menu, enable without the "verifying" crap!

Edit: Looks to me that this is not working I enabled and tethering started to work. I used it for about 15 minutes. After 15 minutes my data stopped working. I opened Ultracfg and selected "Tethering off" and restarted the phone and data started working. Looks like once we enable tethering somehow data shuts off after 15 minutes.
Can other folks try this and let me know if your data freezes as well? If that happens you need to open UltraCfg and select "Tethering always off" and reboot.
How well did you test that
Im going to guess not well
