I got my new Galaxy S one month back. I have no problems with any other functionality

I got my new Galaxy S one month back. I have no problems with any other functionality but Android Market. I can browse apps, but when I click install each get stuck at "Starting download..." screen, and never starts or fails. I had kept it for 3 days and still the same. Market / Google Apps / Download Manager clear cache / data does not help even. Phone restart also does not help.
So far the solution is do a factory reset and lose all current apps, then install 5 to 6 apps again. Then the same story begins. No more apps can be downloaded. Stuck @ "Starting download...".
"Samsung Apps" application works fine.
I also have tried all following firmware and problem persists.

Have you tried removing all apps from the download queue and then turning off wifi and adding them for download over 3g/gprs only?
This used to fix this issue for me.

Try activating Google Talk first and then try to download. I know it sound strange but this may help.

Can't download anything in market - everything stuck at "Starting Download..."

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.

Can not install Google Earth on Cyanogenmod 7.1

Everytime i try to install Google earth on my Nexus S through the Market i get "Device not supported". I search on google and in this forum and can not find a answer. Please help me!

i also get the same message on bunch of apps in the market and haven't been able to find a fix

I fixed for me installing through webbrowser: hxxps://market.android.com/details?id=com.google.earth&feature=search_result
But why i can not use market-application to install. Thats bad...

I'm having the exact same problem - no idea why.

Try this,
Go to manage applications, click on market and clear data, Now install the apps again.
Might work.

I tried to extract the Google Earth apk from the stock ROM and installed it. It installed, however it keeps force closing when i launch it. So i guess it's incompatible with CyanogenMod 7.1

Installs and works just fine on cm 7.1.0.1, but I also have matrix 8.5 kernel on top of cm
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium

When I was on CM7.1, I didn't have any difficulties to install from local Market or Web Market.
Furthermore Google Earth has a lot of downloads, then it would say if there was a kind of bug we would be informed one or two days later and not one week.
Did you already try to clear/ wype Cache?

I had the same problem cleared data and it works fine.

THX for this solution!

I found the solution to my issue regarding this as well. Apparently, if you change the device density, it will say device not compatible. I like running mine at 200 instead of default 240. So when I changed it back to 240, I was able to install/update all the apps.

Heeeeelllpp!!!
I convinced my girl to root her phone so i could "make it pretty" for her and well, part of my theming included changing the density down to 200. I used blade buddy to do it at first and it worked fine, except for the "device is not compatible" play store message. So i changed the density back to 240 again with blade buddy and it still gives me the incompatible message, even after wiping data from play store and rebooting with the default density! So i tried market enabler and that worked ONE time, now no matter what i do its not updating most of her apps and market enabler does nothing to help. Any suggestions, other than the obvious nandroid?

Rooted nook won't log in to android market

I have a rooted Nook running a version of CM7 with phiremods version 6.3 changes that I got here about a year ago and has worked great. Haven't used the nook in several months and want to start using it again and no go for the market. When I launch the market app, it tries then says " no connection retry. I do have a connection though and can surf the web fine via my home wifi on the device. Also, tried to add another google account and it says it can't establish a reliable data connection and also says phone may not be provisioned for data services. Any ideas? Please help!

Yes I did clear the data for the market app in settings/apps/market. Did not help. What next? thanks for trying though!

Remove account first, clear cache then Anna retry sign in.
If doesn't work, reinstall the market apk.

No connection on store home

Before you dismiss this as me not googling or doing my research hear me out please. I can't connect to the the play story due to a "connection time out" however unlike ever other post have found my connection timeout is exclusively localized to the Google play store home (i.e. default page that opens when you launch the app). i have flashed at least 7 roms cleanly (wiped factory / formated all the mounts that i should/ dalvik chache and normal chache, etc...) to no avail on both kit kat and jb.
Some one plese help !

Strange for sure. When you're going through initial setup are you logging into Google? I'm wondering if your profile is corrupted. Maybe try clearing data from play store and Google services. Are you on wifi or mobile when it's happening?
Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk

Let me guess, at some point you cleared google services or framework to try to get an OTA. That is one of the problems caused by doing that. You will need to wipe data and cache for the play store and hope that works. Also, try to log into the play store from your computer and try to have it install something to your phone to re-establish your google id with your phone.
