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.

Market app crashing?

Every time I load the Market application, it works perfectly. However, when I navigate to the Downloads section, or select an application from that page - it crashes the market after a few seconds and returns me to the Downloads page.
It doesn't require force closing, it will just turn the screen white and take me to Downloads for no apparent reason.
I've tried clearing the market cache, wiping everything from my phone and reflashing my ROM (VillainROM 12) - still it keeps doing it.
Anybody else having this problem? Or does anybody know of a fix?

settings>manage applications>market>clear cache>clear data
rreboot then voila

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.
Running Dexter Mod 1.41.

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.

[Q] YouTube Force close...

Seen a number of posts in the forum about youtube force closing, but haven't found a working solution yet. The current youtube version is 3.5.5. I have cleared the cache and data in settings/application/youtube. But inspite of that the app still force close. Anyone having a fix for this particular glib?

Google Play and Youtube connection problem..

That's my problem, Google Play can not connect "try again" and sometimes it shows me two erros: 495 y 923, and YouTube can not connect. But if i use 3G connection yes, It works!
*I already read the following things and i´m still with the same problem:
- "Reboot Mobile"
- "Clear cache and data from Google Play app and Market"
- Yes.. Gtalk works form me and i can talk with others..
- "Reinstall Google Play and Youtube apps"
In 3G connection it works, but if i change to wifi doesnt works. I can use internet with the wifi but google play and youtube dont. I've used the wifi connection since I have this phone and suddenly i have this problem.
Any ideas?

please post in the q&a section and maybe try clearing data for both app

try to format sd, wipe all (better manual way than script) once sd fully formatted, phone full "cleaned" reinstall your favorite rom!
i guess this should fix the "issue"
Good luck!!

The only thing you have developed here is a problem, and that does not qualify for the development sections.
Please post in the relevant sections in future.
