[Q] Market downloads do not work. Help! - Fascinate General

Anything I try to download from the market just sits at "Starting Download." I've tried wiping the cache and dalvik cache, different wifi networks, 3G, but it still does it. I don't even get the notification. Help?

How about. settings/applications/manage applications
tick market/force stop/ next clear cache/ Next Uninstall updates and Reboot.
This method freed up a couple apps that were stuck on installing.
And it will reapply the update for the market as well after boot.
good day.

I've already done most of that. There are no Uninstall Updates option.

Had thee exact same issue. Wound up completely removing voodoo, flashing my stock + root + themes backup, re adding voodoo, and rebuilding the rest. Worked fine then.
I actually ran into the issue on my nexus, which I think was attributed to wiping, then restoring all my apps via titanium. I think I'll be avoiding that as I did the same before this occurrence.

I don't have Voodoo. Only root and birdman's voodoo colorfix. I think it may be Titanium because that is what I used to restore my apps since this is a brand new phone.

This happened to me after I updated to the 2.2 market, and installed the EVO font pack.
I uninstalled the evo font pack, uninstalled the 2.2 market, fixed.
If you've installed the 2.2 market, uninstall it, if you haven't, try installing that and seeing if it fixes the issue.

Wow, too rich for my blood.

Just had the same thing today with the 2.2 market & I'm not rooted. Tried wiping the market cache, battery pull & reboot, even *22899 and unintalling & reinstalling the 2.2 apk. All failed. Uninstalled the 2.2 market & everything works again.

But I'm on the market it comes with out of the box.
Also, my phone was sitting there for about 2 hours. I had tried to install Dolphin HD 2 hours beforehand. It was installed. But, none of the other apps I tried to install did. This is so strange. Is there anything I can do to fix this? I need a working Market.

I got mine to work again...
I disabled voodoo and restored one of my back ups from a week ago that had the stock rom on it...
and now doing everything over again ...
I thinks you should try to restores yourse too maybe it will work again!

As I said, I don't have Voodoo, and I did restore and it worked again. And then it suddenly stopped working.

Market not downloading apps, not failing either

My market just displays "starting dowload" indefinitely when i try to download anything. And my google talk closes the instant that it opens. Any ideas on a fix?

I had that problem yesterday I had to un-root the phone I can't post the URL but you can find the thread in the 2nd page of fascinate and devlopement forum
it was the only solution I found and it helped
Im Having the same problem. Happened after flashing JT's clean ROM.
It's from restoring apps with Titanium Backup. For whatever reason, whenever I do this, it breaks my market no matter what ROM and whether I have Voodoo or not. Restore to stock, re-root, and everything, and you need to restore every app manually.
I did not use Titanium Backup.
I posted a new thread about this, seemed to work for me and a few others I tried. Check "for anyone having market issues"
Been having the same problem. I used titanium to freeze then defrost Market. Then did the same thing to Market Updater. Market works perfect now, but it reverted from the Froyo version back to Eclair. But it's better than not working at all.
Promise this will work. Just go to titanium and click on Market and then click Wipe Data. Do the same with Market Updater. All will be fixed.

This is an old issue, with several things to try.
I would first suggest looking through your application list and uninstalling any 0.00 sized files left as ghosts of apps manually removed. There will possibly be other smallish sized files left behind as well if you can identify them.
Force stop and clear market cache
Boot into recovery, clear cache and reboot.

I tried everything you just said above exactly. It still has the same result: "Starting Download" indefinitely.
I also tried using Titanium Backup to wipe data for market and market updater, but that didn't work either. I'm pretty frustrated that I can't figure this out
Got a solution. I was having the same problem with my Evo. Go to applications, then go to installed on sd. Move everything over to the phone. Then go to all applications and clear cache/data/and force stop it. That did the trick. You can move everything back to sd card after it fixes the market issue and it shouldn't happen again.

I also had this problem, I had to remove lagfix, restore older backup and start all over. It worked and all is well for me now. It sucks but it worked. I hope someone else can find a better solution. I even had jt reply and he said he didnt have that prob. Hopefully some will figure it out.

Uninstalling the froyo market and reverting back to the 2.1 market resolved this issue for me on 2 phones ... Mine and the wifee.
I had this issue, and I found out something peculiar. I was running JT's Super Clean rom with Market 2.2 and a Voodoo kernel, and the Factory Reset ran, but did not actually reset anything. After turning Voodoo off, I was able to Factory Reset, which fixed the Market issues.
Same thing here...
I was having this issue as well. Had to install JT Clean rom w/ wiping cache and data. Tried every suggestion in the book but none fixed it but wiping cache and data and installing JT Clean Rom.

Okay I flashed Blackhole and worked fine then I went to clean and now I'm still on Blackhole with FCs all over the place. I'm new to the Facsinate.
Try wiping data in recovery. That should get rid of the fc's.

Found a stock image for Odin. If this works I'm really dumb and sorry for wasting your time lol... I'd just like to know what happened to make it FC like crazy so I learn from my mistake.
Hope that will work - usually its not good to flash a ROM over another one without wiping data and cache first. That could be why you're having issues. Odin should do the trick though to get you back to stock.

You must uninstall Voodoo before you flash anything new or create a backup. Go to the development section to the "how to remove voodoo" sticky, Download the uninstaller and follow directions.

are you running a voodoo kernel?
i think it has something to do with either red cwm or voodoo. i disabled the lag fix and flash a non voodoo kernel with green. that fixed it. using green i flashed another voodoo kernel. when i restarted the phone it did not apply the lag fix. si i rebooted into recovery and got red right away. i enabled the lag fix. restarted and lady android applied the lag fix. when it was done my booted up with all my widgets!!!!!
let me know if anyone else has this problem or theory.
Yes at one point I had run one of the froyo roms/kernels and yes I'm running voodoo. An Odin restore seemed to fix it. Not sure what was the problem.
Sent from my SCH-I500
Several folks over on account had this problem. Getting of red so far has fixed it for everyone. I'm back on voodoo and every thing works great now. But I had to disable lag fix and flash green and flash new voodoo in green before it worked. I have red back but its over green. I didn't even have green before.

Syndicate Rom Frozen 1.1.0 with Twilight Zone Kernel. I am using the same Rom and I don't have any issues. She has been running this Rom for a couple weeks now.

lots of members have had problems w/ SRF 1.1.0 and lots of members have had good luck.
Seems as if it plays nice w/ some devices and not others.
Time for a different ROM ? wipe data and reset ?

You have corrupted your data. The ROM has journaling off, so as soon as you pull your battery anything that isn't saved will be lost/corrupted

[Q] CM7 - Android Market - Not installing Apps!

Been trying to solve it for hours!
I NEED my Android stylin' for school!
I press install, then it downloads, but doesn't say the app is installed / the app isn't installed. Help meh.
How do I fix this, so I can install apps?

Edit:
I tried CM7 again but this time, a little combination of two instructions.
Before, I couldn't fix the market problem, like anything I tried (clear cache, data in the manage applications settings) didn't work. And the uninstall updates wasn't visible. So today I tried again but with some different instructions, and this time it worked! So glad I can use CM7 on my phone, so awesome.
Are you using a stock ROM or a custom ROM?

I've been having this problem lately (on both Bandroid's ROM and rdannar's "diet" stock ROM) with the new marketplace.
Even on updates some apps will go through the whole process, and even act like they're downloading, then will still show up as needing an update.
This didn't help you, but you're not alone?
Rebooting (sometimes) helps.
Do you have the new market yet? I notices when my phone switched to the new one it took a few hours for it to get back to normal. Also, it mat not show its correct status in the market app and if you leave and go back it may say it is finnished.

I have this same problem. I can't successfully install any app via the android Market. I tried clearing Market cache and data with no improvement. If I choose install an app, it looks like it downloads in the status bar, but doesn't actually list it as "Successfully Installed" as it normally would.
If I look in the Market's My Downloads it lists the app but says "Free" next to it instead of "Installed" or "Update". If I then try to install it I get "Sorry! The application Market (process com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." Force Close.
I also rolled back the updates on my Android Market with no improvement in functionality.
I think the issue started when I went to Android 2.2.
I'm not clear on how to solve this problem.
Same problem! !!!!!!! Any solution??
unmount SD Card
A temporary fix would be unmounting the sd card and then installing the app. It happens on some roms..hope it fixes...works in my case.
