So yeah when I open the app and it tells me update it gets stuck on connecting. Also it doesn't block any ads on Google chrome. Any one has an alternative ad blocking solution or know how to make it work.

Yeah, there are a few issues with the market. I'm not sure if they are worldwide, or if it is just something we see up here in the Great White North. I've found that you can turn your wifi off, then immediately flip it back on again if you want to try and spare yourself the data usage just to download a couple apps. You can also try the old GTalk method. If you are signed into GTalk, sign out. If you aren't signed in, you guessed it, go ahead and sign in. I have no clue why GTalk should have any ties with the market whatsoever, but I actually got that fix from Google's Android help site itself. If anyone else knows any other solutions, or possibly a full fix for it, I'm all ears too. This bug drives me and my girlfriend both crazy, especially since she still has no data from the whole GPS/911 fiasco.
...Everything seems fine, browsers work, phone works, connected to wifi (so it says), background working, tried to dowload updates the dowlad bars show but no progress, tried to down load free and paid apps, again down load bars show but no progress.
did a couple of soft resets still the same, Ill leave it over night in case the app store is down then try a hard reset, unless someone comes up with an answer before then.
I had this same problem with a Samsung Captivate. ATT couldn't help(after swapping sims, making sure I had the correct data plan listed), Samsung couldn't help(after broken English conversation for an hour), nothing in the forums helped. I could only solve it by hard resetting the phone, but the problem came back after 3 days. I never found out what caused it, I just returned the phone. Try the market using 3G, I doubt this will help, but once my Streak wouldn't download apps over wifi this week, so i turned wifi off and BAM back in business B-)

Hi, I had this issue when I first got my Streak, I had to log into the Talk app with my gmail address and then the downloads started
Hi guys, I am having a problem with downloading apps through cellular data on my mytouch 4g. I can download them fine if I am on wifi but it gets stuck on "starting download" progress bar without it. I've tried clearing the data for the market app, restoring it back to factory, and the google talk sign in; none of these worked for me. This is driving me crazy and any help would be greatly appreciated.
Update: Fixed nvm
How did you fix it?
yeah how you fixed it would be nice as mine is doing the same thing... ugh wish t-mo could have just brought a legit phone out
Turn On Wifi
Even if there is no wifi connection, on my MT4G the wifi has to be enabled for the market to download.
I think this may be fixed on the new update that came out today. I still haven't seen my update yet. :-( mine still does this too.

Go into settings/wireless networks/mobile network or operator and select Tmobile network. Even it is checked select it and make sure your phone is gsm/wcdma checked. WCDMA only created problem for me. Also if you have temp root you will not get the update as long as it is running on your phone. In addition, if you disabled any bloatware you have to restore it before the update. Once I disabled Visionary and restored back to factory I got the update in a couple of hours.
This is a really weird problem but it has to do something with the connection to the google servers (mainly google talk). This is evident by the fact that you are signed off and can not connect to google talk when you're stuck on the starting download phase of downloading the app(s). There are two ways around this problem that I've seen so far
1. Before you want to download an app, run google talk and make sure you're signed in, then sign out and sign in again. Go download the app(s) afterwards. Once you do this after you first power on the phone, it should last until you power it off.
2. Another way is go and try to download an app(s) you want and it will be stuck on the starting download bar. DO NOT cancel the download, just restart the phone and it should start downloading once the phone is back on.
P.S. The update did not fix this issue because I still have to deal with it.
If I learn anything new, I will keep you posted.

I got the update with Superuser and root just fine.
Not to rub it in, but I'm really glad that I am not experiencing this problem. I'm liking the phone too much to have a reason to bring it back!
Ok I have found out that the Google talk sign out sign in trick does not always work while the restarting one always works. It definitely is something to do the Google servers and the way the phone syncs with them. What I found interesting is that when you open the market app, immediately experience this problem as you can not sync under accounts settings and services like Google talk stop working. Another thing is that it seems to be the HSPA and HSPA+ connections causing the issue, the apps won't dl on them but it will start immediately as your phone drops to edge. I don't know if this is a hardware, software issue with the phone or the Google servers getting adjusted to the mytouch 4gs since they just came out.
Think I'm going to exchange my phone since not a lot of people have this problem.
Sorry to bring up an old thread but i'm now having this issue aswell. I've tried to clear data, can't download on Wifi or 3g. When i click ok it just says the download will be started and nothing happens, Sometimes if i play around i can get it to go to say starting download but just sits there then i will get either a network error to retry or cancel. Sometimes it's just a download unsuccessful and i click ok.
I tried resetting aswell and still same issue. Not sure how to sign out of google talk.. haven't quit got the hang of android yet but i'm actually not happy right now!
Hey everyone I just had a quick question about the new Verizon update. I have currently been getting free hotspot because of a simple glitch in the phone. I can't remember the app name but I discovered this when reading about how it let droid use the hotspot outside of verizon's plan. I realized that righ after turning on the hotspot, you simply click airplane mode until u see it activate in the notification bar and quick turn it off. This glitch let you get the hotspot for free. Now this stupid automatic notification keeps popping up to download the new verizon update. On top of the work I'll have to do to rename many .bak files to .apk; I'm worried that they fixed the glitch.
Can anyone confirm if the app to let you get free hotspot capabilty works with this update (or even better test the airplane mode method)? If not does anyone know how to keep the popup from coming back every few hours to update?

great suggestion !!
Team Black Hat is a great source also for information .Their over in MyDroidWorld .
Hey guys, I'm hoping somebody might be able to lend me a hand.
After applying the Temp-Root to my EVO Shift (GB, 2.3.3 (temp-root found here)), I'm getting the following error message:
Data Call Failure
Error Code 67: Unable to establish wireless data connection.
Has anybody seen this message? It comes up randomly it seems. I'm still able to connect to the internet via wireless. I'm not really sure what the deal is. It's similar to another one going around, but the other refers to the username/password. This one does not.
I have googled the error message, but almost everything I come across is a mass hysteria of confused people. I've tried the things I've found.
I haven't tried rebooting, yet, as that'll kill my temp-root (doesn't work in most cases anyhow, from what I've read). But, I'm willing to try it tonight if no other options are available. I've tried updating profile and prl, but issue remains. Not really interested in getting Sprint support involved, as from what I hear they're mostly a bunch of... uhm... funny people.
Any help is appreciated!
I should also note: This may have nothing at all to do with the Temp-Root. As far as I can remember, it worked fine for the first day (I applied it about 2 days ago, I think). However, I didn't do anything that day that required use of the Wireless connection (but wireless was still enabled).
i got that error once and just rebooted and retemprooted and havent gotten it again

I'll try this tonight if no other resolutions come up (not at home currently). Thanks for the suggestion.

As per my original post, I have already updated both profile and PRL. Thanks for the suggestion, just the same.
Edit: The problem may be due to billing issues. Will wait for that to get fixed and see if that fixes is. Will report back.
Another Edit: Does appear this is due to billing issues. Seems to be working just fine again, re-rooted and all.
Was getting this Error message for about a half a day a few weeks back. Updated PRL and Profile, didn't fix the issue. Called Sprint, turns out they were doing some work on the towers. Rebooted the phone and all was good. You might want to try and put the phone in Airplane mode for a few minutes. Then turn off Airplane mode, see if that helps.

I actually tried all of that. In my case it seemed to be a billing issue, because as soon as that was cleared up (the phone didn't have service, and I didn't realize til' I tried to make a call) everything worked fine... and has since. Thanks, though.
No problem, here to help when I can. Glad you got it sorted out.
