I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing problems with downloading apps from the market. Everytime i try to download a new app or update an app it doesn"t download then I have to cancel the download reboot my phone and try again using wi fi and then it"ll download sometimes. If anyone is experincing these problems or can help me I would appreciate it.

I was having issues with it this morning after updating to JF 1.5 ADP.
I would click on an update and it would say "Starting Download" but that was it.
I made a phone call and used Market afterwards and all of my downloads started.

I am having this problem recently. I try to download any app or an update to any app. It will just sit at starting download and never download.
I am on Fresh ROM 1.0
I did update some apps after installing the ROM so that's not the problem.
I also have a problem that if I clear the cache, when I reboot Everything force and keeps force closing forever. Whats up with that? isn't the cache supposed to recompile on reboot?
I tried clearing the cache to fix the market issue to no avail (beacuse of all the force closes never got to see what happened after clearing cache). I tried clearing the cache from recovery and using Fresh's app installer,and both times tons of force closes.
Someone please HELP!
U probably need to login to gtalk. I had the same problem from using autostarts. Jus open the gtalk app, it will/should sign u in automatically.
this is not a gtalk issue. gtalk is not even related to what problem he has. i had it happen to me on my eris when i was playing around in the bootloader. when i started back up everything force closed and would not start. only sugetion i can give you on the force close it is a factory reset or ruu reset both will work. as far as downloads not starting are you rooted?
Yes, to install a custom ROM you need to be rooted. Tried the gtalk sing in to fix the Market issue and no dice. Still hanguing...
Anything else??

So I'm not going to call you out or something, but please read before you speak. Gtalk is MAJORLY tied in to the market and it is a documented fix from google themselves to try signing in to gtalk to fix stalled downloads.
Even though it doesn't work for everyone (depending on the reason it's stalled) it IS related.

Hundreds (maybe thousands?) of posts. Starting back in March and dating all the way until today. Google hasn't been able to resolve the issue. I can tell you that what has always worked for me is a combination of cancel download > disable wifi > disable mobile data > enable mobile data > try download again.
Didn't work? Reboot and repeat. Eventually it will go......
Thanks a lot flipz. I'll try that

95% of the time your second sugestion works. it may be that gtalk has major issues with stalled downloads but ussually i have this issue when i start my download over wifi for some reason it just never connect to the google server but when i kill the download and connect over 3G or Edge it works everytime on my G1. that's been a documented fix too. this issue only happens more frequently on custom roms than stock android roms. so it's more of a rom issue that googe issue. we're all here to help each other not trash talk each other. from my point of veiw gtalk may have some type of issue but it's more with the rom cooks than the app itself and it's not their fault either gtalk was desighned to work on googles cookie cutter os not on the home brew roms so errors happen you just have to know how to sweat talk your andoid to doing things when issues happen. the problem i had with your post was you only stated the gtalk issue when the wifi issue is more prevelent. i wasn't sure if he was on stock os or custom os so i asked about it. then i would have given him the instructions on turning off the the wifi, killing the downloads, and restarting the phone. like you told him to in the second post cause that seem to work better than the gtalk method.

I stated clearly on my first post I am on Fresh 1.0 ROM, so everyone would know I was on a custom ROM.

sorry. i did not read your post clearly thought when you said fresh you ment fresh install. haven't really been keeping up with the hero roms to much and thier names still waiting for my eris to get it's turn at root. when i saw your post it just reminded me of how my rooted G1 would not start downloads over wifi. so i asked rooted or not just to be on the safe side.
the thing that got me a little heated was when he said "not to call you out" then he goes into a trist about how wifi seems to be the better fix.
by the way did you get your problem fixxed?

(Ok,fair enough it can be confusing when i wrote fresh; no worries).
About my problem: Not at all man, I tried every single one of the fixes and no luck. I am thinking about going back to stock and reflashing the custom ROM. I'll report back if/when/how it gets fixed
Nevermind Disregard

I ended up factory resetting and now everything downloads normally
So... apps were downloading perfect from market UNTIL I restored a nandroid backup. Afterwards, Apps hang again. I mean exactly after restoring, went to the market and the problem is there again. Can the problem be tied to restoring backups? Or just coincidence?
Update:
Got the downloads working after clearing the cache of every single google application on the phone as well as IM.
After this, started downloading the app and it still hung. Opened gtalk and exactly as it signed in it started downloading fine.
I tried the afore mentioned fixes and had no luck, so for anyone who has this issue and has not been able to resolve it, this is another workaround.
Just FYI to anyone still with problems, I had problems again today EXACTLY after restoring a backup again.
This post I quoted by Zippy-man did the trick today Great Help..

When I try and DL something from the market whether it be an update or a new app, the DL never starts. The only way to get it to start is to reboot the phone, then as it is booting everything, it will start any DLs I had going, but once those are concluded and installed, if I try to DL something else--same problem.
I'm rooted and running Myn's Warm 2.2, but I don't think the ROM is the problem because everything was working fine. I normally use App Brain, but the problem persists even if I use the regular market app.
Anyone else have this problem? This is really frustrating.
Try clearing out your Market data, and removing your SD card.
Here's a tip that will actually work: Open Google Talk. It should try to sign in, and most likely won't be successful on your first try. Keep trying and eventually it will sign in and you will notice all your apps will start downloading.
Hi all,
I can no longer install any paid apps on my phone; as soon as I click the "download" button (which shows the price in case of paid apps) I get the error message "an error occured. Please try again". Everything works for free apps; everything also works from my tablet (which uses the same Google account), so it's definitely the phone, not the account that causes the problem.
I have tried it on WiFi as well as on 3G; I have rebooted the phone; I have downgraded the market app from 3.3.1 to 3.2.0. All to no avail :-(
Any help with fixing this is greatly appreciated.
Try to factory restore and when you do set everything up but before go to market and wipe everything and restart
problem resolved?
hi, have you been able to resolve the problem?
i have the exact problem, able to install any free app however no paid ones with same error as you. there is a workaround however, you can purchase from internet browser on your android device.
if you have managed to resolve this, please let me know this is irritating.

No I haven't.I have to admit though that I never tried the factory reset as was suggested. I do not purchase that many apps so the browser work around is OK for me right now.
it could be the rom that ur using.. because when i had MIUI sometimes open others not nd no connection to.. or market has allot of bugs.. try the oldest market not the 1 that looks like applanet the other with top green nd bottom white..
Everytime I try to go to the Play Store it says "No Connection" with the Retry button, but that never works. I just downloaded some apps today, and now it doesn't work. Any ideas on what went wrong with it in the short time? I've tried checking my time, and a few other fixes I've found but none worked.
I'm on a Stock ROM Sprint G2 with KitKat.
You should delete hosts file in system /etc

I was using WiFi, for some reason it just started working again? After numerous restarts not working it just started working, so I'm not sure what the problem was, but it seems that the temporary glitch corrected.
Thanks for the help anyway though guys!
same issue
This same thing is happening to me. I deleted the "hosts" file from /etc but the issue still remains. Can anyone please please upload a "hosts" file for me and see if that works. I don't have my computer on me since I forgot it at my brothers house when I went to go visit him last week and he lives 400 miles away. I would really appreciate of someone could help me out or give me other alternatives since I'm not sure what else I could do.
I'm running stock Rom with root. Tmo D801. Thank you guys.
Almost every day I need to clear cache and data in the play store app in order to get apps and updates to download. Sometimes, such as now, even multiple clears of data does not fix the issue.
Can someone please recommend some kind of a fix or workaround? It's incredibly frustrating. I am on 9.0.12 rooted.
Have you tried updating to latest play store from apkmirror? Might solve the issue.

I guess I haven't tried that. It's been going on for quite a long time. I did manually update Google Play Services though. I will try the Play Store.
No luck installing Another play store either.
After restarting the phone the apps needing update started installing. Didn't clear data this time. Very strange.
I just noticed I was having this issue today. I turned off WiFi and the updates started. I'm trying to figure out why.
Edit: It seems to have resolved itself without me doing anything.
This issue is still going on, even after the Play Store updated to the newest version. I have tried everything at this point. Next step is to set the phone on fire I guess.
I have the exact same issue.
Check your Installed tab. I bet there is an app pending for download but not showing under Update tab. Stop it by clicking the cross icon beside it. All apps under Update tab will start downloading and installing.

I'm having the same issue. I did a clean install, and I was able to install all apps without issue.
A few hours later, couldn't download new apps. They would be stuck on "downloading".
If I reboot, one app will install, but all others won't. I have to reboot again, and another will download.
Have tried all the usual tricks (play store /services cache and data, download manager), but nothing seems to work.
I'm on 9.0.14. it happens with stock or custom kernels, over 4g or wifi.
EDIT: sometimes an app will start to download and get stuck at x KB or MB. Again only a reboot will solve it.
It happens to me not when I flash the international rom but when I root any firmware. I have the T-Mobile version and it works very fast but after I root it I get the pending when downloading anything from the play store.
