It happends when i want to buy an app on both 3g and wifi. Anyone have a solution, i've restarted, pulled battery out, factory reset, cleared cache, uninstalled market updates, forced stopped it and still no solution, suggestions? Anyone going through this problem and fixed it?
also i posted here because the slide forums isn't as alive as this one.

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!
I know me and a few other people have been getting problems on downloading any apps on the market for some reason. Also I have noticed that some times my wifi icon and signal icon is green and other times they are gray.
Well I just figured out that I only get these problems downloading apps on the market while my icons are grey, but when the icons are green market works normal. Now I know that I still get data while the icons are grey, cause my web browsing works so it can't mean that im not receiving an active connection. Does anyone know what does the difference in colored icons mean?
Sorry if this is posted already and I posted in this section because I believe it has to deal with the fix of the market problem
Grey means that you aren't connected to google's sync servers. so yes this may be the cause of not being able to d/l
thanx cuz i remember someone asking about the color also but with no answer so what may be the reason why i am not connected to googles sync servers like 85% of the time? and is it possible to fix?
also this may be the cause of all the errors with gtalk connecting or not sending msgs ive been reading about
I'm getting the same errors too. Any fixes?

Glad to know it isn't just me! I was scrolling thru settings trying to figure out why my icons were gray

Mine only go grey when switching from EDGE to WiFi. the only thing i can suggest is a factory reset. also, is this happening when the phone is going down to edge? this may be what is causing the problem.
ill do a nandroid backup and then do a factory reset and post any updates
EDIT: so far its working im about to restore my phone tho cuz i forgot to make a titanium backup of my apps then ill wipe again ill post if it starts messing up again
My phone has not had this problem, but I have seen my wifes do this a few times. We both got the Nexus S today. We run on wifi here at home. I thought it was really odd when trying to get some items from the market.
It eventually turned green, but took about 30 seconds or so.
My 3g service consistently turns off and doesn't work even when I am definitely in a 3g area. When it goes away I have to restart my phone and it fixes it. Kind of annoying though. Anyone know what is wrong. Non rooted stock ns4g

I have the same issue. Reboots are the only cure. Im sure its a hardware issue, Ive sent mine back to Samsung twice but all they do is flash it back to 2.3.3.
Let me know if you find a solution!
You should read some of the many threads on radio (3g/4g/WIFI) issues with this phone...

instead of rebooting, just put it into airplane mode then back.
