Apps Hang and dont donwload from Market

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..

[BUG] Market Apps failing to download after root.

Just started to have issues downloading apps from the market. Im on any connection and im connected to the internet but they fail right away with this message "Download Unsuccessful" ..........rooted too. Any Ideas?
*Edit*
I need some others to check this out
Last night I reset to factory defaults and after 1-2 downloads from the market everything after I tried to download fails, rooted. Then I flashed the stock firmware downloaded a couple apps no problem, rooted, couple more downloaded then FAIL! Not able to download until I do a factory reset, even than I can only get 1- maybe 2 downloaded.

I'm having trouble as well. I'm rooted, I posted yesterday but nobody replied. Can somebody out hedre try and install fring?

Rooted. And no problems.

Are you signed into Talk for authentication?

I had similar problem on my EVO yesterday as well.. So i don't think it's a phone issue...
-CC

I did a reset back to stock pulled down a couple apps then dead after that...CAn anyone pull apps off the market right now?

I was having major problems with apps, then I did a cache wipe and factory reset. Problem solved.
I was also restoring apps from mybackup pro, which may have caused the issue. The apps were backuped from my evo and restored on the epic.

Its a apk I removed just don't know which one :/

I take that back...I lost market functionality again and have not removed any files only rooted AM i the only one experiencing this?

I rooted (using the older line by line instructions, not the single automatic script) and have not had any problems with the market.

i rooted with the one click script and have been downloading apps with no problem, downloaded an update to gps status tonight on 3g and barcode scanner over wifi tonight.

Im having the same issue, I rooted so i can do free wifi tethering (hotspot) and now i cant even download the ****ing app to do so.....

Market installs hung

In the new market app I selected the option to update all apps that were pending, this option has worked for me in the past, however this last time it updated several apps but not all apps. Six of the apps are stuck on "installing" and it has been stuck in this state for over 24 hours.
To try and address this I have done the following...
- Forced closed Market app
- Rebooted the phone
- Shutdown phone and removed battery
- Killed market process and several other processes
- Uninstalled affected apps via other processes
Unfortunately these apps remain stuck "installing" mode, because they are stuck I can't reinstall them.
Other apps that are not one of these 6 can still be installed/updated/uninstalled.
Has anyone had this happen before and anyone have suggestions on how to correctv this so I can reinstall my apps.

Thank You Kaotikevo,
The steps in that link did not correct my problem but they did point me into a direction that did fix it.
After following the steps twice to no avail I had noted that the Market App in the settings area you pointed me to had the option to rollback the last update. I rolled it back and that corrected the problem. I was able to reinstall the app and my last glance at the phone showed it reinstalling the new Market.

Download Unsuccessful T-Mobile HTC Hero G2

Anyone having this issue tonight? I have tried reloading settings, reflashed phone to 1.5, 2.1 still fails downloading apps.
I have tried no sdcard, new sdcard e.t.c.

I'm having the same problem with my desire hd, thought it might be something with my phone settings or an app i installed but after seeing this thread, maybe a server issue?

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.

Play store won't download apps

So I was running Liquid 2.9, everything was fine no issues. Got the flash bug and flashed SlimRoms build 8. Full wiped and followed the ROMs installation guide. Everything went fine. Started to download apps from the play store and after one download, all the installs freeze. So thinking it was a bad flash possibly, I re-downloaded the rom, full wipe and flashed. Problem still persists. Went back to Liquid 2.9 where there weren't issues before. Same issue downloading apps. I've cleared cache and dalvik cache. Cleared data and cache from the app store and download manager and problem still persists. Any advice or help would be much appreciated, thanks guys and girls!
Edit: I am conneted to wifi, internet is working as I can browse, sync contacts, etc..

There's a couple of threads about people having trouble with the play store. Maybe your issue is similar. It might be worth checking out just in case.

I appreciate your service in policing the forums. I searched, all the threads I've seen have ended in the OP still looking for help and more specifically not much insight in the s4 recently. Tried most of what everyone in the other threads have said to no avail soo, I came here to ask for any additional help. Thank you for your advice, I will look harder.

Are you signed into hangouts or gtalk--think this is needed
Did you wipe System as part of your full wipe--I wipe all 3X
My last step is to format sd and start over--or if you have an sdcard backup of internal. Can you replace Android with your backup--not sure if any of this sdcard stuff will help though
Reflash gapps--don't know if I ever did that on a non--cm rom

There have been no real solutions other than to download hideman vpn app and have it connect then I haven't had an issue with any app downloading. I believe this is a play store issue. Not a phone issue.

Sorry man, but there's like six of these threads going on at the same time. It's hard to keep track of all of them. And you're right, there is no definitive answer other than it appears it's an issue on Google's end.

Some other ideas here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2089470
Or, try an older version of Play Store
Did notice another thread too--may be the Store. But, no harm trying other things--
