Galaxy S Apps stuck @ Starting download forever - Galaxy S I9000 General

I got my new Galaxy S one month back. I have no problems with any other functionality but Android Market. I can browse apps, but when I click install each get stuck at "Starting download..." screen, and never starts or fails. I had kept it for 3 days and still the same. Market / Google Apps / Download Manager clear cache / data does not help even. Phone restart also does not help.
So far the solution is do a factory reset and lose all current apps, then install 5 to 6 apps again. Then the same story begins. No more apps can be downloaded. Stuck @ "Starting download...".
"Samsung Apps" application works fine.
I also have tried all following firmware and problem persists.

Possibly could be, can anyone confirm this with any other phones?
Yup, I have the same problem and my other friends also can't download anything from the Market.
You talking about Market access?... I'll have a go,....
EDIT,... YEP, fail.
Server Issues *Sigh* I reset my phone for nothing thinking it was an issue. Damn!!!!
Just tried downloading maps on my girlfriends Hero.... fails ever time.. on "3" UK but my Desire works fine...
For some reason i'm now getting more luck using mobile data, not WIFI.
It does fail to start 3 times out of 5 but if it doesn't start downloading after 5 seconds or so I just cancel download and hit install again.
had some luck downloading a couple of apps but the failure rate is higher than the success rate, does anyone have a clear idea what's going on? google returns results that are a year or two old with this forum being the only recent one on the topic
oh for **** sake. i wiped my phone and reflashed my ROM :|!
add another person to your list :|
I had the same problem on my Hero.
Did following things and then it worked for most of the downloads, couple of them didnt work I assume that could be bcos it wasnt meant for 2.1
What I did -
swap the sim and it gave me that I am signed out from Google..
Changed back to original sim again... signed in to google emails...
Then in Settings> Account & Sync> Unticked Google...
Came out of the settings...
Restart the phone..
Went back in the settings.. tried downloading... it failed...
Went back into Settings>account & sync>.. Ticked All options for Google...
Waited for that little circular sign to appear on the top bar and google email thing..
Came out of settings...
Downloaded apps from Market...
and it got installed...
let know if it helped..
thanks
It's ok forgot to post back in this thread, it seems like a market server issue for everyone not for a certain configuration. It's ok now.
Still wont download here.... still cant download google maps on this dam phone....
even wireless wont.... my Desire is still fine.
i'm having issues too.. some apps just stuck on downloading =/
hmm...
on my hero (t-mobile g2 touch android 2.1), my sapphire (cm6.0.0 ds) and my other sapphire (sparksmod 1.1.2) most of the downloads failed.
Astro File Manager works everytime on every phone.
my "nuerburgring livecam"-app also starts downloading on my sapphire cm6. now installing. the same with "öffi". but all the other downloads stuck on "downloading" or "download unsuccessful"
I was having problems with this for a few days, I tried everything.
Now it works fine for me, some say it was the market itself because of the big google maps update.
If you are on a Cyanogen 6.1 based rom (floyo and elelinux) this fix might work;

Also, wipe dalvik cache.

[Q] Cannot download anything from Market through 3G data

Hi everyone,
I have this problem after I flash 2.3 HKTW.
I cannot download anything from Market through my 3G network.
once I click the download (or update) button, there is a notification appear says connect to WIFI to start the download. After I connect to Wifi, all download start immediately.
the download from website derectly on mobile browser is all good.
Does anyone have any idea how to bypass this? I dont think it is a market problem. It is a setting.
i have the same problem, i also am unable to find any resolution.

Wow, I thought it might be the network problem from Rogers Canada,
you are in ATT, so it might be the ROM problem.
PS. you device upgrade route is the same as mine, AT&T 8525 > iPhone 3G > Motorola Atrix, beside I dont use samsung.
I am having no problems downloading from market over 3G. I would reflash the ROM.
Tried to reflash, it fails. I cannot even get back to 1.5.7,it fails to.
So I did a wipe/factory reset, Did a wipe of Dalvik Cache. Had to add AT&T APN the one there was not working, works fine now. I was even able to reset up motoblur with my existing account but still no Market downloads without wifi..
Now I am getting fustrated!
Hopefully someone has an idea. Everything works, no issues with messaging, email, internet. Just the market and I tried to download from the web market, got the same result.

Do you mean the market on 1.5.7 also fail? or you cannot flash back to 1.5.7?
FIXED IT!!!!
You will have to do a factory reset. When the phone reboots and you reset up motoblur at the end it brings up Data Saver. DO NOT CHECK IT! leave it off. The explanation for Market says "Automaticlly queues downloads until you are connected to a Wi-Fi network"
One other thing, I had to reset my APN manually after the restore.
But it works now

Official Marketplace Myapps isn't showing anything.

I'm not sure how it happened, but the official Google marketplace just doesn't work anymore.
On Bell Atrix, 2.3.6, Stock.
The Marketplace loads up fine, by when I go into my apps it just doesn't list anything. Not my installed apps, not my purchases, nothing. I can download apps just fine, but nothing then gets linked to my apps.
I have tried my account on 2 other devices(galaxy nexus and asus transformer), and it works fine. I have also tried someone else's account on my phone and that works.
I have tried a factory reset, and it the marketplace v2.3.6 works for the first login. But after it just gives the following error.
"A server error has occurred. retry, or cancel and return to the previous screen"
Retry just loops the error, with no success, and cancel just returns me to the marketplace's main page
After the marketplace updates, when I go to my apps I just get a generic white page w/my google account and 2 buttons to go to either the game or apps section.
This site lists the exact same issue I'm having. No fixes though =/

Try erasing market's cache, or using a different market version.

I emailed Android Market Support on friday when it started. They emailed back asking for more information pretty quickly.
However, I haven't heard anything, since responding to the initial email.
https://support.google.com/androidmarket/bin/request.py?contact_type=market_phone_tablet_web
Try submitting a request. It might not account to anything, but it may make them realize others are having the issue also
Try erasing market cache and then deleting /data/data/com.android.vending/databases/market_assets.db with some file manager. After rebooting market should work properly(but you may need instal something or restore links using TiBu) at least for while
EDIT: I have this error from ca. 1,5-2 months, reported it and google did exactly nothing about this issue
Ok, this has worked for me so far. My fingers are crossed that it'll be a permanent fix.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1458670
1) Go to Market Tools -> Market Doctor and Unlink all User & System apps.
2) Reboot device.
3) Open any Root Explorer or Browser and locate and delete the file "market_assets.db" in "/data/data/com.android.vending/databases".
4) Reboot device.
5) Go to TB Pro and to Market Tools -> Market Doctor -> User Apps and link all the User Apps that you installed on your device from the Android Market. Make sure that no System App is linked.
6) Reboot device.
7) Install a free app
Looks like that was only a temp fix, because the issue came right back this morning....

Did you clear your framework services cache to get the update maybe? This is one of the symptoms I have read about.
I think the fix was to delete your playstore account on the Nexus and then sign in again.
Others may have better input.
Yeah, sign out and back in. Should fix that.
Ok will try that could not even downloadf any other app either.
Ok i deleted the play account and added a different one and same problem, cant get any apps stuck on downloasding progress bar.
Also how do do you sign out of the account
Also i did download the update to 4.2 via framework clear method.
Iv added a different account google play store I'm still does not work
Go into settings apps find google play click on it .. Clear cache and data .. reboot your tablet
If that does not work . and only then .
go into settings accounts google.. in the google account at the top right click the ... then delete account. REBOOT. it will prompt you to set up your Google account again once it boots backup...
This should Solve your troubles. If not and only then go into settings apps all
FIND GOOGLE FRAMEWORK .. clear data in there..
Good Luck
Ok brb gonn try the above
Done all of the above still not working just shows downloading bar and doesnt download anything time for an rma?

scratch that idea then..... DOH
Im thinking this is software more than hardware issue. Anyone know how to fix this? Id hate to have to do a full wipe on the tablet to try and resolve this,
Get on your computer... Go to play.google.com. log in..
find a simple app and click install.. See if it will install the app to your Nexus 7 ...
or if the nexus is grayed out...if grayed out try a few apps. that we know should work in the nexus. .
This will check to see if your tab has been disabled with wallet... if you can push to the device its just a bug and play store is down for you wait a hour...
By the way ARE you totally stock .. ?
if not whats your configuration
totally stock, not even rooted. will try when i get back home later today,
I had this issue on a rooted N7 with TWRP. After I managed to get the update side loaded, nothing would update and the poor darling vanished from the Google Play website as well. I had to do a factory reset. Then everything was golden. I didn't even lose root, thanks to OTA Rootkeeper.
i didnt even try to sideload the update, all i did was the clear framework cache thingy and then update came and i updated it,
not happy with this if i have to start sideloading all my apps from now on since i dont want to be wiping it to factory settings, i will try the suggestion above when i get home though and see if play store is working, may just let it keep downloading for an hour or so and see if that works.
I think it was the framework clearing that may have caused it. I too tried that step to try and force the update to download. T'was all bad man. However, once I factory reset it, I just left it plugged into power and went out for dinner, when I got back it had downloaded all the apps I had registered on Google Play. Amazon was a different beast of course. By all means, let it percolate and it might fix itself, just keep that reset in mind.
will do, when i get home will leave the tablet on and let it keep trying to install the apps,
when it goes into standby mode when the screen powers off will it still be trying to install the apps in the background or does in standby mode the install process stop?

Unfortunately the process com.android.phone has stopped

After flashing the 4.4.2 firmware to my Note 3, I get the following error message once the device turns on: "Unfortunately the process com.android.phone has stopped". I can just click ok and the message goes away but it shouldn't be appearing in the first place so does anyone know how to make it go away? An the phone works fine.
Yes I did a clean install, tried clearing the data and cache from app manager and any of the obvious ideas.
Anybody else having this issue? Any help is greatly appreciated!

you have already downloaded and installed a different version of 4.4.2????
if you are getting the problem on multiple roms then you must be doing something wrong during the flashing process.

My fix solution was Settings>Application Manager> Menu > Reset app preference>Reboot. Do it again if its going to be the sam outcome. I found tjat when you are force stopping aps, or closing you are going to end with those messages....

don't try to reset , wipe any thing .
i have same problem and posted before : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2620340
i asked from all kings of developing , but no one could help me .
i searched on google and found out that problem maybe cause of our sim-card . maybe changing sim card your problem will be solved.
i'm almost confident that is cause of baseband " NA6" and we should wait for 4.4.2 for our region with different baseband .
be aware , this problem is with u even when try any custom rom , cause all af the are using NA5 and NA6 .
just crossing your finger and wait for new and diffrent baseban version my friend .

Are you rooted with any changes?
Sent from my Note 3...making all others drool!
I had the same type of problem myself,
But on my HTC one. I was close to start the painful process of unrooting my device and go back to stock.
My problem was not having ANY network & using the phone or sms didn't work at all. I read many "solutions" on the internet but none helped.
I experimented myself and found a solution to my problem. If it can help others as well I am glad.
First go into settings, then apps.
Scroll to all applications, search for phone.apk - if you have an option to uninstall phone.apk to previous version/state do this. Reboot the phone. In my case this did the trick and everything is working properly. Hope it helps others as well.
Please respond if you tried and it worked. It may be helpful for others too.

Try wiping cache, dalvik cache, system data and then factory reset (all this from recovery). I don't own a LG phone but this process is the same for almost all phones I think.

How did you wipe the cache/dalvik in this situation. I can't even reinstall anything to re-root the phone. And there is no keyboard that I can type on. The only way that I can communicate with the phone is to speak through voice mode. And that isn't always a good experience.
