I have no idea what happened and why it stopped working, but my market won't let me download any apps anymore. I was on mexdroid, everything working just fine. I did a backup and then installed Synergy to try it out and things worked fine for a short time but then Market just stopped after downloading several apps. I went back to my mexdroid backup and now it's not working there either. I don't have any idea where to even start troubleshooting, help please??
EDIT: as a follow up, now it is stuck at the "downloading" stage, I was just testing to see if it worked and tried to download GoWeather. It is now showing me the status bar for the download but not actually downloading, it won't let me stop the download, and it won't let me download anything else. Wtf is going on?

Go to Settings/Applications/Manage Applications/All
Find Market, first force stop, then clear data
Next find download manager, first force stop, then clear data
reboot into recovery and wipe the dalvick cache
then reboot system and try your market again
Tried it and it didn't work. I'm moving the rest of my responses to this thread:

, since it seems like me and the OP in the posted thread have the same exact problem.

I apologize ahead of time if there is a thread on this, I couldn't find one off hand.
Just installed Fresh 1.1 on a friends Hero, and installed Task Panel. I ignored any system apps from auto kill, but downloads quit working after a while. I had this happen once when I first got mine rooted, but don't remember what it was, any droidians know the fix?
Uninstall task killer
Sign into Gtalk
toggle wifi if you have it on.
I have this problems at times. The easiest fix is to go to Disable and then Enabled Backgroud Data. If that doesn't work, then just turn your phone off and back on.
Found this, but there was no solid response with how succesful it was...

Let the phone reboot and now all my settings were gone its ok i have a nandroid backup now sign into the market as normal with your normal sign in
Download a free app (anything works) it should now download without a problem (mine did)
Now boot back into recovery and restore your most recent backup.
Reboot and now market seems to work (well atleast for me it did)
Now this happened cuz i almost bricked my phone trying to get the market to work in the 2.1 ROM I am not sure if this will fix your issue but it is worth a try as it fixed my market problems.
By the way mine would load but the apps would hang at Starting Download and would never pass that.
I found out the hard way that Google talk and the market downloads are tied together.
When I try and DL something from the market whether it be an update or a new app, the DL never starts. The only way to get it to start is to reboot the phone, then as it is booting everything, it will start any DLs I had going, but once those are concluded and installed, if I try to DL something else--same problem.
I'm rooted and running Myn's Warm 2.2, but I don't think the ROM is the problem because everything was working fine. I normally use App Brain, but the problem persists even if I use the regular market app.
Anyone else have this problem? This is really frustrating.
Try clearing out your Market data, and removing your SD card.
Here's a tip that will actually work: Open Google Talk. It should try to sign in, and most likely won't be successful on your first try. Keep trying and eventually it will sign in and you will notice all your apps will start downloading.
So, I've recently bought a new vibrant and at first I was able to download some apps after booting, after a few minutes though I can't seem to download anything anymore, the downloads start and the download notification appears on top then dissapears after a second. Hope someone can help. I've tried everything, I've cleared all the cache/data(from checked in service, gtalk, market, etc...), signed out and logged into gtalk, uninstalled market update. I also tried doing a factory reset and even reflashed the rom back to JFD from JI6 but the problem still occurs, after I either hard reset or flash it to stock it works for a few minutes, from 5-30 minutes before the problem occurs again wherein it'd either stay at starting download or the download icon will appear at the notification bar, then dissapear after 1 second. It's been driving me crazy for over a week!
Hope someone has a solution.
Thanks!
This happens to me at times, but after clearing the market apk cache I'm able to download apps properly. Try to clear it a few times before deciding to reinstall the apk. Also, speaking from experience, I dont think that flashing different roms would help too much. Every time i flashed a rom the same problem came back and i would have to do the whole "clear cache" thing over again.
hi, thanks for the help. I've already tried clearing the market cache and other apps but it still doesn't work. I've read of a new market app version 2.2.11, I tried downloading it to the phone and installing it but the phone says something like "error parsing package".
I dont remember when it started, but I put my phone back to stock. Went in and re downloaded all the apps I had before. Now when I try to download from the maket I always get force close when I click on the app. I have cleared the cache from the market, but when I try to download I get a force close. I know it worked before because I was able to download all my apps I had prior to going back to stock.
Thanks.
Try clearing market data. (I know that sucks but it worked for me). It will eventually fix itself if you reboot I think as well. I suggest rebooting first...
Well I just reverted to a backup I had right after I had gotten all contacts and such. Now the market works.
Okay so I flashed oodie miui today and checked it out, and then full wiped and flashed bugless beast 2/16. Once I got in I went to the market to dl titanium to get my apps back and it says "cannt download titanium backup due to an error".
So I wiped data in the market app, tried fixing permissions in CWM, wifi on and off, same error. So I downloaded code name android and I am getting the same error. I have even tried other apps and am getting the same error.
WTH? I am out of ideas, anyone have this happen to them? Any help would be appreciated.
EDIT: So I now see that the market is trying to download 56 apps. If I hit stop nothing happens. So still not able to download anything.
Edit: So I have tried reflashing gaaps, reflashign rom and gaaps and unchecking restore. So in market it shows no apps trying to download and still nothing! I can't figure this out!

Best bet for you is to ask in the thread where you got the ROM from. The devs will be able to help you out. We had the same problem with the ROM I am using (Codename Android), the gapps needed to be updated and reflashed by the dev. Hope this helps you.
