Seems that every time I restart my phone I get the same set of apps that need to be updated. This happens no matter how many times I restart the same apps will appear again as having updates available. It is like they forget they have been updated or maybe they were not really updated when I pressed update. Anyone else having this?
I infrequently find the Market showing updates at the top of the list of My Apps, but when I select the app, it doesn't have the update option available. This is usually just after I have updated that same app.
For me, it usually goes away after awhile. It doesn't bother me too much.
Delete the cache from market, this sometimes helps

I encountered this problem too and does not help by clear the market cache. Simply uninstall and re-install the apps will solve the problem.

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.
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?

although not the same issue, I had problems downloading apps from the market over the weekend, would start downloading and do nothing, either over wifi or HSDPA, seems to be ok now though...
settings>manage applications>market>clear cache>clear data
rreboot then voila
I keep having trouble updating apps. For instance now it tells me that there are 3 apps that need updating. I tell it to update, it downloads the update then it says "attention required. tap here".
I tap and it says "can't play or download. There's a problem with the license".
These are just free apps and not large and I'm not letting it lock mid update or anything like that. I've worked around it by deleting the apps reinstalling, but it keeps happening the next time it needs to update.
Any ideas?
I had a problem like this, and it's a really poor design of this page; Where it says 'attention required' on the download page, hold down and a context menu will appear with 'retry' and 'cancel'
I have retried over and over and it just never completes. I deleted the update and I restarted the phone and still the same thing.
Getting a bit annoying
Still can't update any apps. Am I the only one?
Are they trial versions? Seems to be an issue where an update is pushed out for the paid version that doesn't apply to the trial, and the update doesn't go through but you still get notified about it. That's what I've heard (secondhand) from MS support, anyway.
Thanks for the reply. I deleted just about all the apps and it looks like updates started working again. Of course when I deleted the apps it wouldn't let me reinstall apps again, even one's I've paid for. This seems to have settled down after some time and a couple phone reboots.
All in all the whole marketplace and updating thing seems like a real mess from what I have seen, even when things are working right.
I hope we get some updates sometime soon.
Thanks again

willp2, did the apps reinstall when you synced your phone or did you have go to marketplace to redownload them? I'm having the same problem. Except one of the apps is one I purchased but never got to download because of the error.
I had to re-download them. It wouldn't let me at first, but after rebooting the phone I was able to redownload from the phone. I was never able to reinstall from the Zune desktop.
Added my login information to the samsung update account so it could check for O/S updates and now the samsung update app crashes w/ a force close 3-4 times every time I re-start the tablet.
I tried to delete the info in the accounts manager and it says i have to wipe the tab to remove this information..
I there a way to manually delete this information in the file system?
I have a similar issue, I just force close it, it pops up one more time (a total of two times as a popup) and after I force close it the second time it goes away till I reboot it again.

The more I use the 10.1.. the more I feel like it is a Kludge.. I have to use different browsers for different websites...
Some hang, some force close.. some don't even open the page.
I'm thinking of getting a Macbook Air and just being done with the tablet thing for now..
Settings-Applications-Manage Applications-All Find samsung account, click it and clear data. Reboot tab and problem is gone. If you click check for system update the issue comes back but you can just repeat the process again.
Settings/Applications/Manage Applications
Uninstall the updates for both Samsung applications in the list, and reboot, and enjoy.
So i tried to update my security app to v3.5.0, but after the update it always crashes. And then i proceeded to uninstall all the updates and then upgrade it back to v3.4.6, but now the game booster isn't working anymore, and every time i press force close in the app manager in the settings, it goes back to the app lists instead. Same as when i press clear data it also goes back yo the app list. Aside from that, the virus definitions also fails to update every time. I hope you can help me to fix this. Thanks!
