Download notifications wont clear

Running Cyanogens mod.
Last week I awoke to my G1 not seeing the SD card. After much fiddling with it it started seeing it again. 2 things that are now messed up, all my apps need to be reinstalled (no biggie) AND the download notifications, while they will clear when I hit "clear" keep coming back. Usually after any kind of data connection, GPS, internet, market etc...
I have 11 notifications and counting even on apps I uninstalled.
Any ideas?
TIA

Ok, I figured it out after some more Googling.
It was a browser cache issue. After uninstalling the ones I didnt need and clearing the cache for the 2 I did the notifications disappeared.
Its all good now

Can't download anything in market - everything stuck at "Starting Download..."

Can't download anything in market - everything stuck at "Starting Download..."
Okay so recently I have run into a problem where apps won't download from market -- they are just stuck at "Starting download...".
I searched to see if this is a common problem (seems to happen to a good number of people) and I tried the solutions posted. I did factory reset, deleted cached, tried to login via different account, etc. etc. -- none of the solutions work. At best, after a factory reset for cache clear, an app or two will download before this problem occurs again. I have even tried upgrading to 2.2 market but it doesn't help.
Anyone know of any good solutions for this?
Thanks!

Rebooting the phone has always worked for me. It's happened to nearly all Android devices to someone at one point.

How good is your signal? I can't download anything with 2 bars on edge. Which is what I get at home.

Rebooting doesnt help and it is not a signal issue. Altho i was having some connectivity issues last night but my net works just fine now.

you can try canceling, and restarting the download, always works for me
also, downgrade back to 2.1, i heard 2.2 had problems

Clear the download manager and market app cache in settings/application manually. Reboot.

Thanks for all the help guys but nothing is working. I even tried reflashing JFD and upgrading to JI6 but still it doesn't work. It seems the first time I launch Market everything downloads fine but after that nothing works.
Also, a weird thing happens: Market starts downloading all these apps automatically - apps I never told it to download - but all those apps come back as downloaded unsuccessfully.

Someone did this with success and it worked for me too
I have managed to sort this now - here's what I did:
Go into settings - applications - manage applications- scoll down to market & long touch to open. Clear cache AND Uninstall updated. It will ask for confirmation and then uninstall. I then went back to market and Bluetooth file transfer downloaded and installed with no probs. Hope this helps anyone else with same problem.

Have you tried going to Settings>Applications>Manage applications and locate Market then chose Clear Cache and Uninstall Updates.

There is a problem with doing that: I see no market under "Manage Applications"

Thanks but still no-go =(. I even tried clearing data of Market via Titanium Backup and still won't work. Oh well, my replacement phone is coming this week, so may as well wait it out.
Thanks for all the help, everyone.

That sucks man... i have had the same problem as you and got it working with those steps . Hope you have no problems with the replacement.

Try to login to gtalk and it shall do the tricks

Select option to show all from manage applications, you can get this by selecting the menu button >> filter and show all while in manage applications screens.

I've run into this with my phone (rooted stock), it's beyond frustrating and I have no idea what I do or might be running that might cause the issue. I was going to do yet another wipe when I found the below info on a google support forum. Nothing I had tried besides the reset would fix my market until I did the following:
Under manage applications, filter show all, then:
Checkin Service- clear data
Download Manager- clear data
Google Apps- clear data
Google Talk Service- clear data
Market- clear cache

I have the same issue. I have tried almost everything. I found a work around. I turn off WiFi and 3g on and it will start on 3g. If that doesn't work I keep 3g on WiFi off and restart fhe downloads, and it allways starts, even group downloads in 2.2.
Not a solution but I can at least get the downloads started.
I might try the post above me and give that a go.

Menu Button > Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Menu Button > Filter > (set this to All - it's more than likely set to Third Party right now). Then continue with the instructions given above.

What usually works is going to Menu>Applications>Running Services and then stopping the the Gtalk service. Then reopen the market

this also happens to me sometimes. sometimes it will download but sometimes it won't, it's only saying "starting download" but it it's taking a long time in that status.

issues with Market and Amazon App Store after power loss

I left the battery run out on accident, and now when charged and fully working( able to browse the web and other network related activities) I cannot download anything from Market or Amazon app store.
The download says it starts then it errors out.
Download was unsuccessful, please try again
This has happened to me twice.

Market App
Have you tried to clear the cache?

So I tried to clear cache..no work.
I cleared the data for just the market and it worked after that.

Bumping this thread.
Anyone else have something similar happen?
Ran out of battery in stand by. Market won't open now. Tried restart, clearing data for market app, tried wiping cache, tried reset switch... no dice. Really dont want to start all over.

Problem is still there. I found something like this in logcat for every time I tried to open market
Code:
w\vending could not check for tos
Anyone have any ideas?

for market issues please follow these instructions in the order i found them to work;
1
open market, if possible, tap around to create cache
2
goto settings, apps, RUNNING SERVICES
3
stop google framework, genie, and any other google service listed
4
goto settings, apps, CLEAR CACHE, NOT DATA
5
open market w expectation of fc, if it does open, close it.
6
turn fone off and on.
i found these Specific instructions to work on multiple android devices. most folks exclude turning off services, wipe data when they should be wiping cache, and they dont restart. so try in the numbered order listed.
if this doesnt work, i can direct you to a market cleanup update for another device. google xda simple green market. should turn up a thread w patched market for another device, and a market cleanup update that may help.
worst case, factory reset would do it. if you dont want to lose your internal storage data, maybe try my clockwork recovery and just format the data partition. this would at least leave your internal storage folder alone.

Thanks. Everything came back as soon as I killed the Google messaging service.
I don't understand how the messaging service could have had me all locked up, but its fixed now... in additional to some other apps that weren't authenticating.

supplemental market tip would be to open google talk in the event some google services, specifcally the downloader, doesnt start.
not sure if todays lack of google data or messaging permission xmls would have any relevance to messaging services having issues.

Google Music- Invite, Updated App, No Cloud Music

I've searched around (and even tried the method mentioned here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1086213&highlight=music) but to no avail: Even with my music invite (and I have uploaded music, and can access it without issue from a browser, or from my Thunderbolt) and the updated app, I still don't have an option for settings in the options menu in the music app (I just have "Shuffle all," "Hide now playing bar," and "Help."). When I go into applications, it shows that the music app version is 3.0.1, but I'm stuck without any means of connecting the app to the service.
Would appreciate any help.

I noticed that too. I checked my google sync options, synced and restarted my xoom and it worked shortly after I rebooted it. Now it shows up as an option under google sync.

I needed to go into the music app's settings and choose which google account I would use. Once I did that all my music appeared.

Thanks, I went ahead and tried that, but it didn't have any effect. Did you have music as an option under google sync before what you tried, or did that only appear after your reset? I can't get it either way.

How did you get into the music app's settings? That's basically my problem, I have no means of getting into the settings.

Usually when an app does not work properly especially after an update, the first thing you can try is going to Tablet Settings > Applications > Manage Application > Music then clear data and reboot and try again. Not sure if that will help here but worth a shot.

On my Xoom I was able to get into the app's setting without any issues. On my d2 I couldn't get into the music app's setting until I uninstalled and then installed it again. Might have to try that.

Your music version should be V3.0.1.339. I you just have version v3.0 you don't have access to the cloud.
The "Settings" feature is not present in the v3.0 version.
You have to update your music app via the US marked = use market access to do this.

I didn't have an option when I did the sync the first time. I also tried to update the music app but I didn't have an option to do so. Once I rebooted and I'm assuming it reloaded my google account to detect my music beta then updated the music app. Another thing you could try is signing out and signing back into your google account.

All right, I've tried stopping the music app, clearing data, and trying again. I also tried stopping the app, clearing data, uninstalling updates, soft resetting, then updating music again through the market. Still doesn't give me an option for settings.
When I check the version, I see 3.0.1.

Would anyone be willing to upload the apk they're using? I'm hoping that might help...

This happened to me when I got my invite. I uninstalled, reinstalled, cleared cache, data, uninstalled, resinstalled etc etc...it took a couple days before I saw a "settings" option in the menu. Now my problem is I can't get Music Manager to upload all my stuff when I want it to.

I've been trying it since I first posted, clearing the cache, resetting, uninstalling, reinstalling, etc. but with no luck so far. I guess I'll keep trying until someone comes up with a solution.

I just got my invite and I had this problem too.
The solution is to uninstall the app with titanium back up then reinstall through the market.

I got so excited when I read this...right up until I tried to uninstall music with Ti Backup...I click the Un-install button, which turns yellow, then hangs. Forever (ok, I only gave it a couple of hours, but I assumed that was enough).
Thanks for the suggestion though, at least I have a new angle now.

[SOLVED] Apps saying not installed, but they are.

In my market, it says i have all these apps not installed. But they are all installed. When i click on them it doesnt say install, it says open. The apps run fine n are in my drawer. Is there a way to fix this? Its just really annoying when my "Pro" keys arent being used. Like, titanium backup says im using the free version when i have the pro version installed, same for my launcher pro key.

EDIT: can this be moved to the Q&A section, accidentally put in general. Thank you.

Same thing with me... google maps, youtube, and a few others are in the Not installed section, but when you select them it says installed, and you only have the option to open. I'm assuming they are still being checked for updates when I open Market... at least I hope they are. More annoying than anything else. Any thoughts?

Open up the "Manage Applications" and find Market. Clear the cache and reopen. Should show up now. Had to do that on mine.

First screenie is it saying i have the pro key installed. 2nd screenie is of TiBackup saying i dont. Taken in the same minute.

I have the same problem, and agree it is annoying.
It started happening when I did a titanium backup after unlocking. So I guess there must have been some problem syncronizing with market after.
I have solved the problem by uninstalling the applications that were listed as needing updates even though they were already updated. And when reinstalled, the notification went away. It's not a very elegant way of fixing the problem, I know.
If anyone else has a better solution, please advise.

I learned this method from another forum (can't remember where); it always works for me:
Exit all applications on the phone
Home > Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > All
Market: Clear Cache, Clear Data (OK)
Google Services Framework: Clear Cache, Clear Data (OK)
Reboot your phone
Open Market app and Accept the TOS
Market > Settings > Content filtering > Set level > Show all apps (OK)
Market > My Apps: no more missing apps, or false positives for updates
I've tested this many times with the new Market app on my AT&T phone in both stock GB and piCRUST. It always fixes the display of installed apps within the Market app itself. But the list of apps showing on the Market web site under My Account (https://market.android.com/account) may not be immediately updated with the results. Sometimes the Market web site will be updated later rather than sooner, or only partially rather than completely. But this local fix will usually affect the web listing to at least some degree.
(Space reserved for future rant on market web site lameness...)

Did it, now i get a server error everytime i open the market. Just reinstall apk of new market?
EDIT: just used task killer to kill it all then retried n it worked. All my apps are saying installed. Thanks so much.

I see that error occasionally after using this fix, but I also sometimes see it after re-flashing the phone, and after other seemingly unrelated actions. It usually goes away for me if I just turn on wireless first before opening the Market app (no need to reinstall it). I think it's related to some error in the app or settings initialization, and not specific to this clean-up routine or anything else.
And yes, I've found that using a task killer also seems to help. Maybe indicative of another app blocking the Market from opening correctly at first run? I don't know, but once it goes away it doesn't seem to come back.

Thanks, this worked flawlessly.

Could I suggest you add "Solved" to the title of this thread so others that might have the same issue could use this?

Got it. Ive had to re do this fix after my phone shuts off, so its not permanent on my device. It might be for you, either way, it fixes it for awhile.

One other thing that will confuse the Market about what's kosher: using a non-standard LCD density.
In my case I had hard-coded build.prop to set ro.sf.lcd_density=300 and ever since I did that the Market website kept telling me that most of the apps I'd previously installed were not compatible with my Atrix 4G(!) My workaround was to revert to the default ro.sf.lcd_density=240 and then use the "LCDDensity" app to temporarily set it to 300. Whenever I need to go to the Market for something I just reboot the phone first and it reverts back to the default setting in build.prop.
If you've got it the other way around (e.g. build.prop is using a non-default setting, and you're using LCDDensity to override this back to the default), then that might explain why you're seeing this Market mischief return on reboot.
Even if you're not using LCDDensity (or you're using something else like "LCD Density Changer" which can make these changes permanent), you might want to check your current LCD density. Ditto for other property settings that might not be using their defaults.
Here's a list of all the things that the Market looks for to determine if a particular phone is compatible with an app:
