[Q] Paid apps not downloading? - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

ok so i am currently using this rom (FRG83 Stockbar v1.2) but i was using this one (0.3)
the problem is similar to this but on the nexus one.
is this an expired credit card problem cause i had this account for a long time now and i am using my dad's account.
and yes i have tried many things like reflashing, but my previously bought applications happen to be still downloading.....

[Q] Having an issue with Apps not installing to phone

I'm having an issue installing apps to my nexus one. I can download them from the market but when they try to install it just says Installing... and stays there.
This started happening after I installed cyanogen 6.1 so I wiped and installed rodriguezstyles mod to see if cyanogen was the issue but now rodriguezstyles mod is also causing this.
Makes me come to the conclusion that the mod isn't the issue. Could anyone assist me with this please?

I'm having the very same issue. I reverted back to stock 2.2 but everything still hangs on install.
Has reverting to stock solved the problem for you? Have you found any other solutions? Or an Idea on what it could be.
I've seen a number of solutions, so I'll give you the ones that seem to work best:
1 - Try signing into Google Talk
or
2 - Try unmounting SD card, before installing (if updating, make sure app is installed on phone).
or
3 - Try deleting .android_secure folder from SD card, and rebooting...

I tried flashing back to stock image but that didn't work for me. After that I tried what I should have done the first time which was restore an old backup from cm6.0. That did the trick for me, no problems since.

[Q] HELP!!!!

Ok, so I have a rooted Nexus One with cyanogen 6.0rc3 on it. I recently tried to put cyanogen 6.1 on it so I could upgrade to 7.0. Then, I see the common glitch where there is no market so I revert back to my old rom which I made a backup for(using ROM Manager). So here comes the hard part, when it restores my ROM, have no apps, no nothing which I downloaded, and I tried to restore again, because ROM Manager reinstalled, but I didn't get anything. Can some tell me how to get my data and all my stuff back, please?!?!?!?! If I don't get help by the end of the month, my service gets cut off, so I really need help!!!! Please help guys, thanks in advance, you guys are the bomb!!!!

What's that supposed to mean? You lose service because you don't have the data on your phone restored?
Are you using apps2sd?
I feel like you have no chance of restoring anything at the moment though.
If you have a custom recovery, just wipe and start again, or restore your backup... Make sure you have a gapps package that is compatible with your ROM...

All your apps will be in the market under 'my apps' and as long as you have synched with Google servers all your data should be retrieveable by re-synching.

You don't need to go to cm6.1 to get to cm7. Even on 6.1 you need to do a full wipe anyway to eliminate any potential problems.
Also did you happen to use CWM 3.0?

I tried that, too, not all of my apps restored, and my data would be gone on them anyway

Unable to download from Google App Market

Hi guys,
I have recently downloading the new Cyanogenmod for the Milestone, and although its a pretty good mod, I haven't been able to download things from google market. I have installed GAPPS when it was required, and I can navigate the market fine, it even picks up my bought purchases. However, when I click on download,it says that it is downloading but the bar doesn't move. I;ve reflashed and rebooted numerous times but that doesnt seem to have fixed the problem. I was wondering if any of you had experienced the same thing and if so, how could I fix it?
I have plenty of space on my phone and my SD card too so I can't see where the problem lies.
update, I have looked around a little, and it may be a problem that I cannot connect to googletalk server. Anyone know how to resolve this?
Also, switching from wireless to 3g to 2g doesn't seem to help either.
Having the same problem with my X10! Will show updates for my existing apps but when I click on them to update it just states that they are downloading and they never update! I have power cycles the phone, stopped the update, installed the Google market updates and tried again, still the same result!
I have a rooted X 10 with 2.1.
Anybody else having the same problem?
totally weird, but everything seems to be in working order now. I didn't do anything at all either.
I had to connect to flashtool and reload the os to get it working again!
Tried finding just the market .she file but wasn't sure which one was the one that was messed up! Didn't want to make it worse so just flashed the whole OS

i faced the same problem too, i've been coping with this for about 2 months on CM6 and now it's kinda getting in my nerves. I can't download from the Market and it's annoying when i want to download some apps in a big hurry. I see that i'm not the only one facing this problem, but may i ask for help here? what can i do to fix this problem? you have my thanks
Did you try flashing the OS again or reloading the CM6 ROM? Mine has been working fine since I flashed my OS again.

Wipe data, then flash the ROM. Google Apps you need to wipe both cache partition and dalvik cache AFTER flashing the ROM.

Having the same problem here, with froyomod.
With cm7 i didn't have any problem at all. Maybe because i flashed 2 weeks ago..
Having the same problem from many days and also cm7 is laggy although I still use it. Somebody recommend something please.

I used to have this problem after extendend periods without a wifi connection... it seemed like my purchases would only download on wifi, whereas free apps would d/l on cellular networks
I do have Market problems from time to time, being unable to download. I've try pretty much everything but nothing helped, except: waiting! If apps fail to download constantly, they'll do just fine the next day ...
It seems that the Market has internal problems that cause this. Also I have this behaviour once in a while: viewing "my apps" in the Market will sometimes (!) only show me the Google Apps (Maps, YouTube, etc.) and all the ones that I purchased but *no* free apps at all.
Same again: waiting some time will restore the original (and correct) list.

I think that might just be the limitations of the Gapps we flash. I get those same issues, but a simple reboot fixes everything, nothing to worry about!

[Q] Market stuck at "starting download"

Have this problem for 3 days already. Tried to flash to another ROM and it doesn't help. Googled this problem, looks like is a ton of complaints from people experiencing this problem but I can't find any actual solution. Can you help please? I'm tired of this already. Did a factory reset too and it didn't help.
Help please.
Yeah, had this issue some times with the new market.
Yesterday, when it happened again, I just cleared market app data and re-tried.
It worked.
Don't know if it'll last though..
Yeah mate, looks like it helps in some cases. But i tried it many times and it didn't help. I found a solution that deals something with "gmail" and "GoogleMail", but i don't know how to make a @googlemail e-mail.

So you've also tried deleting "Download manager" app data and "Google Services Framework" app data?
Are you using the new market too?
Hmm, [email protected] bugs

Maybe you should try this one too!

I have tried old and new markets, including latest 3.1.5. It doesn't help. Also i tried to clear Download manager app data. But I haven't tried deleting google services framework app data. I can't try it now because i don't have access to the wi-fi.
I think if your advice will not help i'll flash stock GB ROM.

I'm also having the same problem, I been searching forums for two days trying to sort this but to no avail. I've cleared caches, installed updates, used a diff version of market app but my apps still are stuck on the "starting download..." screen..
I'm on stock Rom on sgs2, Tesco mobile UK.
any help would be appreciated, thanks
Android Market needs the Google Talk service to download and update applications. Without Google Talk, more downloads from the market ... I think
try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=773272
do you use droidwall or something?
@ batahulu, don't think that's my problem, I don't think I've deleted any files by mistake and my Google talk workable fine. thanks tho.
@Dr.wtf., no not using it. I am using lookout and avg but I turned these off and tried too thinking it might be some firewall or sumat but still nothing... I don't know what more to try as I've done nearly everything I can find short of a factory reset. thanks mate
i had this problem long ago whaen i was in amertis ROM....... i tried many things like clearing cache, reinstalling the rom, clear data, even changing google account......but unfortunately it didnt helped..... then googled it and found that its a "CUSTOM ROM" problem.....
then after changing the rom it was fixed......
so my suggestion is that keep trying different ROM....
Goodluck
I've the market stuck on starting download only when I buy a paid app. Strange the free ones download just fine.
Samsung Galaxy s2 android 2.3.6
Yeah exactly the same here, two paid apps are stuck while at the same time I can download free ones.... I tried to download on pc but still not working
Taz..
I had the same problem,...
another rom was my only way to get it working...
I signed into Google wallet on the pc and put in my credit card details again, Google then sent me email asking me to confirm my date of birth and would you believe about 2 hrs later my market started working. Before this I only put my details in from my phone and think that may have been the problem, I think it may be worth a try...

Push from Google Play
I've got a Motorola XT720 experiencing this problem as well, and I've tried all the wiping-related methods to no avail. However, I found another workaround that doesn't seem to have been discussed so far.
If I go to the Google Play Accounts web page (sorry, no link - new user), I can use the "Install" button to remotely command my phone to download the app.
It works for a couple tries, then I have to reboot, but at least it gets me somewhere. Hopefully this method can help others too.

Titanium Backup?

I've seen several people with this problem but no solution yet. I was able to restore all of my apps but only some were successful restoring data. The main ones I can't restore the data on but need to are Dolphin HD, Rhapsody and K9 mail. All my widgets and several games restored data just fine, anyone know what I can do.

There is a problems button on the bottom of TB that suggests changing the way it restores the apps. I found that it fixed the issue for some of the apps, but there is one I have still that won't restore.
I was thinking about trying to download the app off the market and then just restore the data but haven't tried yet.
Another thought is that one might be corrupted...

I tried downloading them from the market and then restoring data and that didn't work, the backups restore fine on my other bolt and I even made new backups that will not work either.
Last night I dropped a themed genie.apk (news and weather) into a Liberty zip and flashed it and was able to restore the data afterwards. I'll try to get a hold on the apk's of other apps I'm having problems with and do the same to see if this works with all apps.

Clearing the cache should have the same effect on the backup/restore process of an app as reinstalling the APK

Re-installing the apps doesn't help, I still can't restore data. The way I did it installed it with the Rom I CWM and I think that was why it worked. Do you mean clearing all cashe or just for the app I'm trying to restore?

Just the app first. If that doesnt work, try clearing all cache. Maybe even Davlik cache (This will make the initial startup longer because it has to rebuild davlik cache)
This happened to me when I came over from a long line of HTC phones. Never got it straightened out and had to reset a lot of things by hand.
