Hi,
I have this issue for the past one week.
The APP downloads starts and stalls. The downloads are stuck at 'Starting Download'. I have been using captivate for the past one month, everything was ok until past one week.
I am unable to figure out whether the issue is with my mobile or something to do with my gmail account.... No idea.
Can someone help me?
Thanks in advance.

Well, I've uninstalled google talk application. Is this creating an issue?
Google talk is in some way used by the market, though I am unsure exactly how...
Generally the fix to this issue would be to go into settings, applications, manage applications, and then clear cache/clear data/force close the following apps: Market, Google Talk, checkin service.
Then reboot phone.
Unfortunately you have installed google talk... Oops ;-) don't know what to tell you there.
If you installed with Titanium Backup, donate and then restore, if you installed by some other method you may be able to sideload an apk of google talk on to your phone...

I too am unable to install anything, it started last last night and still going on.
Happened to me this morning at 4am. When i tried updating google earth. Now nothing will download nor install.
Shut off the phone. Hold down the up and down volume button and then press the on/off button... When the phone comes on, keep holding the up/down button and relesae the on/off button. A screen will pop up and then you can release the volume button. Using the up/down volume button, scroll down to clear the cache... then hit the on/off button. That may help...

nope didnt solve it. thanks though
Is there a difference between using wifi and 3g? I know that sometimes the market will refuse to intall via wifi and then i just use airplane mode kill the market turn off airplane mode and then use 3g to download. It fixes the issue most of the time.

I saw this only once, as part of cyanogen rom but I was wondering if there is a standalone way of setting up a reboot button as part of the fly-out menu that comes up when i hold my power button?
I tried searching but all results seem to deal with general power button problems.
Thanks in advance.
Anyone? Just point me in the right direction or something.
i have not heard of a way to add this. but you can install quickboot from the market which is what i use so i never have to touch my power button in fear that it will fail on me over time. quickboot will reboot your phone, or take you right to recovery, etc.
New old noob here. I'm proud to announce a successful update to 2.2, that is everything works except Market. I've search long and hard, but alas, aside from the following attempt, I have not found what seems to be a solution.
I tried "turn your phone off, hold vol +/- and pwr at same time, at menu use vol - to go to "clear cache", press pwr button to select it, then use vol + to go to restart phone, press pwr" but that didn't work.
When I attempt to launch Market, a screen comes up for a split millisecond (passes too quick to read) followed by a screen "Attention. An error has occurred. Please try again". And I have tried again and again, ad infinitum.
Please help. Thank you.
Long shot but go to settings/applications/manage/all.
Find market. Clear data.

Thanks mcord. Sorry, didn't work. Need a plan C please.
So here is the situation:
My power button is non-functional. This happened before, and I was able to press very firmly on the power button to access a shut down menu and turn off the phone. From this, I was able to enter download mode (pressing volume button while inserting USB) and go back to stock, which surprisingly, fixed my power button. I thought this nightmare was over.
Now, my power button has stopped working again (ICS hacksung 5.0). No matter how much pressing, prodding, whatever, I cannot get the power button to turn off the phone.
I cannot find any adb commands to turn off phone.
"adb reboot download" simply restarts the phone, no download mode. (adb does recognize the device)
If I take out the battery, as soon as I put it in the phone boots up.
If I am pressing any of the volume buttons when I put the battery in, I can access recovery mode (But cannot select anything because power button is still broken)
Any ideas? I doubt my phone is still under warranty (1.4 years old) and I do not have mobile insurance.
Thanks for any help in advance
Depending on what recovery u have (cwm or ?), U can use the capacitive buttons, while in that revovery, to navigate and select the power off option.

Thats a neat tip that I didn't know about, but I can't find any option to power off? Sorry for being retarded but I have given this time I promise
cwm recovery is what I have installed atm
Reboot to CWM and Power off option may be at the bottom of the 1st screen that u come to. That is dependent on what version of cwm u have though.
Quick boot from the market, you can place a poweroff button directly on the home screen

The ICS ROMS CWM recovery doesn't have power off choice, so he can't do that.

Unfortunately the quick boot "power off" option simply froze my phone, or restarted it.
I let my battery drain so that I could get a dead phone (that part worked), but when I hold my volume buttons and plug in the USB for download mode it goes to the "battery" screen or (if both are held down) recovery. No download mode.
In recovery "key test" the power button fails to register any key press, but it is not spamming either. This seems like a hardware problem, but I am not sure how it was fixed when I flashed back to stock before if that is the case
I will next try making a download mode jig, I'll let you guys know how it goes...
My cousin had the exact same problem less than a month ago.
I see you tried reboot download through adb, have you tried it using the same command, but using android emulator from market? That worked for her phone so worth a shot.
its a far shot but odin is now available for use on the phone itself and works on our phones. maybe you can find a kernel thats had the buttons reconfigured. i know darky has one somewhere.

the phone simply reboots. Same thing happens in "Quick Boot" 's "Bootloader" reboot option. This phone just seems broke as hell.
Firstly, this power button problem is a lot more common than you would think. It is most often a hardware failure - I mean the button mechanism (springs etc. just dies). Google it to see how common.
Your post suggests a clue: If just putting the battery in reboots the phone, then the power button may be stuck in the "in" position.....so it is always getting "pushed". Then anything you do would mean ht epower button is already being pressed. If this is the case, you will never get a software solution ???
Also, I absolutely do not mean to be nasty. But if you search both Q&A and General sections there are previous threads with this button problem. Many other solutions have been posted and it will be difficult to list them together.
Finally, you can actually replace - yes, replace - the button yourself. Google/you tube has it.

Hope this helps !
I have a Galaxy S i896 (Rogers captivate model), been running CM9 on it for quite some time now and I never had a problem with it.
Until recently, my lock button stopped working. Thankfully, CM9 allows me to use the volume buttons to turn on the screen, and I can lock the device from the notification bar. However, I sometimes get that screen that pops up when you long press the power button (airplane mode, screen shot, reboot etc...) but I don't know how. Also, whenever I remove and re-insert my battery, the phone turns on by itself! So it would seem that the button is stuck somehow, and once the phone is turned on, it is being ignored.
I read somewhere that this is sometimes caused by rooting the phone, however I wasn't completely sure about how true this information was, and therefore my question is: does anybody know what causes this, and how can I fix it!
Thanks!

I also have this problem with a stock ROM. The power button doesn't work and i cant even flash another ROM in recovery because of that. It only turns on when putting the charger on or replacing the battery (turns on by itself).
It seems that your power button is busted. I had the same problem, though I manage to have a way to make things alright. If youre on a CM9/C10 youre good. Download button remapper at remap the capacitive search button and make it act as a power button. So, if you're waking up the phone you will use the volume rockers and if you want to sleep and lock, use the search soft key.

You can search in this forum, use the search button above. I got mine by downloading in BlackMart app.
Most of the time when I open the camera I have a 2-4 second wait for the app to open, anyone else? It does open but takes forever. If I have used it recently, within 10-15 minutes it is pretty snappy, 1-2 seconds at most.
I did install the google camera app but the problem predates that. It opens faster, but focuses slower so in usage it isn't any better.
At any given moment I may need 3-5 seconds to take a pic with either app. Certainly a 1st world problem but a nuisance when I want a spontaneous pic.
Anyone heard of this as precursor to the failed camera problem?
No that is not a problem.

My gf has exactly the same problem. I'm gonna try the following steps:
You might find that a simple restart does the trick. Hold down the Power button and select the Restart option. The problem may return.
Try going to Settings > Application manager and select the camera app. Tap on Force stop, Clear cache, and Clear data.
Try clearing the cache partition. Hold the power button and choose Power off then press and hold the Volume up key, the Home button, and the Power button. When the phone vibrates, release the Power button, but keep holding the other two. When you see the Android System Recovery screen you can let go. Use Volume down to choose wipe cache partition and press Power to select it then, when it’s done, press Power again to Reboot System Now.
There’s a chance that an app is causing the problem. Any app that uses camera functions, including flashlight apps, could be the culprit. The fast way to check this is to reboot in safe mode. Hold down the power button and select Power off then hold down the power button to turn it on again and when you see the Samsung screen come up, release the power button and press and hold the Volume down key. You’ll know it worked if it says Safe mode in the bottom left corner. If the camera works then it’s definitely a problem with an app you installed. Hold down the power button and choose Restart to get back out of Safe mode.
If you’re using a microSD card to save photos try removing it, save them elsewhere, and see if that makes a difference.
Back up anything important and try a factory reset via Settings > Backup and reset > Factory data reset.
Have you solved the problem yet?
It may or may not be related to this...

I did clear the cache and I switched to internal storage. Also I uninstalled Google' camera app, which I thought would be neat but never used after 1st launch; it seems a little faster but I'll have to use it a few days to see. It may be my SD, as it is pretty old.
Safe Mode didn't effect any change.
I'd never tried to enter recovery on this phone and inadvertently entered Download mode instead. I blame my overly large fingers for it. Gave myself a moment of concern as I only see DL mode when I first root a device, almost 2 years ago for my last phone. I'd forgotten that the "DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET" warning didn't mean much without Odin running.
If this isn't an indicator of a upcoming camera issue I'm not too worried about the lag, if it fails it has a warranty....

Yeah.. I mentioned that in OP. That problem usually presents as a "Camera has failed" message according to articles, there is no reference to any symptoms prior to failure.
Try going to Settings > Application manager and select the camera app. Tap on Force stop, Clear cache, and Clear data.

I'm also having the same issue, doing a restart or clearing cache/data on the camera app just fix the issue temporarily, after couple of days it gets super slow again.
I've also started to run into this issue. The camera will take several seconds to load, then freeze for a second or two. This happens after I haven't used the camera for a while. The gallery, however, always takes several seconds to load when launched from the camera. Both of these still happen whether the camera is set to store on internal memory or my microSD card.
Are there any solutions that anyone has found?

If I have the image stabilization turned on it makes my camera crawl too. Turning it off seemed to help, at least some.

This has really begun to annoy me, as the weather turns nicer here I find that I am using the cam more frequently and the delay is aggravating.
Clearing cache helps a little, and turning off Image Stabilization seems to have helped also. Still a few seconds longer than I like but better. This thing should open a major built-in app faster than it does, I think it did at first.
I may do a factory reset and see if that helps, if not I may seek an exchange from AT&T or Samsung...
