I have tried several different 2.2 builds on my (AT&T) HTC Pure. Most of what is supposed to work does, and it's fun to play with. However, what's really holding me back is an inability to download anything from the Android Maket. I can sign-in and browse just fine, but when I "Install" something and go to the downloads tab, all I find are apps that say "Starting Download" with a perpetually cycling progress bar. I've let it run for 15 minutes and never got anything to actually download. I do not have a data-plan, so I use wifi. I have verified that wifi works.
I have also noticed that I cannot sign into gTalk. I've seen several posts suggesting that once you sign into gTalk, that I'd be able to download apps (and vice-versa), but so far, neither of these applications/features is working for me.
The latest install I've tried is XDANDROID.2.2.AOSP.FRX01.17.09.10.UPDATE_PACKAGE.7z and it still has this problem.
Has anybody else gotten around this problem and have some advice???
I tried using my phone to create a new google account, and that worked, but I still couldn't download.
Happened to me as well. I just forgot about it, and after a while I got an alert that one of the apps is now installed (and indeed working). The other apps on the list hanged as well, and took a lot of time to start downloading.
Seems like a nasty bug to me.
it's a small comfort to know I'm not alone, but I still haven't seen anything download successfully, and as long as I can't install new apps (from the market), there's really no point in using [XD]Android.
Try settings/applications/manage applications/market 'all tab' and force stop. Clear cache. Clear data. So next time you use market it is like new and downloads and installs without hanging etc. Your downloads tab should still have a record of apps you downloaded.

thanks anunna, but that didn't work. I tried downloading the apks for App Brain and the associated "Fast Web Installer" and copying to my device (storage card), but that doesn't seem to work any better. I guess those apps still depend on Android Market to download.
aarrrrrghh. so frustrating... I have now installed Rhod.2.2BLAZN.092610 with the new builds from 9/25 (hw 3d included), and still have this problem. Does anybody have any ideas?? I dont' see how this could be device-specific. ?? I've tried different gmail accounts, different builds, and different wifi networks. The only thing I haven't tried (and can't really) is accessing market over 3G. I say "can't" because I actually have a data-block on my phone to prevent unintentional use and associated charges.
Does anybody have any advice for troubleshooting ?
thanks.
BTW, this is what worries me about WP7: one source for all your apps = single point of failure.
I'll just keep updating my own thread here...
Installed the latest build from 9/28, and nothing's changed.
This time, I went straight into Google Talk and got stuck on the "signing in" screen. Eventually it came back with a message stating, "Could not connect to server. Will retry shortly." This is bogus though, since I can do nearly everything else on the internet, via my wifi connection.
I have the same problem. Android Market doesn't download any software, "Starting Download..." stage never ends...
ashway, have you tried opening Google Talk? Also, do you have a data plan on your phone (3G)?

I haven't try Google Talk yet, will try later. I do have a data plan, do you mean that Market works via 3G and doesn't through WiFi?
I have a data-block on my phone (so I don't accidentally rack up per Kb charges), so I access everything via WiFi. I've seen people suggesting that toggling between wifi or cellular can get it to work, but that's not an option fo me.

I have tested 3G data connection and Market works just fine, but still no success via WiFi.

BOO! so, I'm out of luck??
(thanks for your update though)
Has anybody been able to download from A.M. over WiFi without ever using 3g?
It just happened to me while i'm updating a few apps. I did some research and found an article and follow that way. what you need to do is to un-install the app that you're updating. after that, forced close the Market app and clear the cache. then try again to install it from market. well, it works for me.
by the way, there's also another bug that make Market FC every time when u download an app. if it happen to you, just open Setting>Applications>Manage Application> Market and click "Uninstall Updates".
I am in Malaysia and I have this problem too. It is either "Starting Download...", "Download Unsuccessful" or "Download Paused" message.
I'd tried both 3G (3 different telcos; Vodafone while in NZ, Optus while in AU and Maxis in MY)and WiFi (different AP; at least 10). While connected, I can do everything except for download apps from Market. Also tried signing in different Gmail account.
Being desperate, I tried to install Apps via "adb install" command. Guess what, I couldn't uninstall my apps (both using "adb uninstall" and "Settings > Application > AppName > Uninstall"). It force close everytime I tried.
I got OTA updates for FRG83 twice hoping it will fix my Market problem, but it did not install because it can't. When I tried sdcard:update.zip, I got status 7 error. Some livewallpaperspicker.odex error. Tried searching for the odex but couldn't find one specifically for Nexus One.
Also tried rooting my phone and install ROM Manager. Performed a Fix Permission issue (which it claims often fix Force Close message; one friend recommended this too) and all I got is "An error occurred while attempting to run privellege...". I am sure it is rooted with Superuser Permissions showing "Allow" status. To confirm, I had Move2SD installed and able to port most apps to SD without the developer setting the option.
Just want to share this with all of you that have this problem. Is there anyone can help? The only thing that makes me keep this phone is because its a gift from my wife. Or else I would just get something else.
guys I have the same problem as you do! something I noticed though is that the phone doesnot recognise my SD card and market is downloading the apps on the card . can you pls check your sd card if they are mounted and recognized propperly!
restarting the phone and letting the card mount propperly fixed the adnroid market download freeze issue

brafun, are you using XDAndroid on a TD2/Pure? Were you experiencing problems only when using wifi? do you have a cellular data plan/connection? Does wifi download work now? I'm a bit confused, since XDAndroid is installed on my SD, I don't see how you can have Android running without recognizing it.
thanks

Your guess is as good as mine but the fact is that when I was trying to download an app the behaviour was exactly the same as you described it! It said Starting Download and froze at that point. Cleaning the Cache of market didnt help at all. THen I just started looking for reasons why is this happening, and in "SD card and phone storage" I saw that the SD card was marked as not mounted... check yours and see what it says
been bouncing around between cm7 rc1 and back to latest cm6.
everythings working ok but for maps.... says "Network failure: This application requires a working data connection." well duh it needs data! never seen or had this error before. what do i do to fix it?
so now ive unrooted and reflashed stock roms, wiped caches, everything i could possibly do in restoring to a new out of box state and maps still wont work.
help?
Clear maps data?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
I just ran into the same problem. Neither clearing apk data nor uninstalling/reinstalling Maps helped. I rebooted into recovery and fixed permissions. I also wiped /cache and Dalvik-cache while I was at it. One of those last two seems to have done the trick.
edit for derp.
This was a temporary outage - it worked fine on WiFi at home when i looked some place up, then i got in the car and tried getting directions there and nothing... then about 2 hours later it started working again.
This is when MapQuest (the new maps app, in beta I believe) saved the day. Granted, I could have used a crappy old TomTom I still have in the car, but MapQuest was more convenient.
I had just flashed a CM7 #5 when I noticed the error, so it seemed likely I'd broken something locally. A service outage would certainly explain it.
I think it's on Google's side. Got the same "need a working data connection" message also.
Had problems this morning but seems to be OK now.
I love the way that upon a service outage, geeks will fiddle about with their kit until something they do coincides with the service being restored. I do the same with my DSL connection lol.
To get the maps working again just uninstall streetveiw updates and reinstall them, i worked for me on the nexus one
^ same here
i was panicking earlier this morning when gps was failing to navigate me to my new job on the first day, thought it was just me. wiped map's data and it's working great again.
I flashed a new rom which didn't have google maps and since then I have not been able to get google maps work. It always throws an error message "Network failure: This application requires a working data connection." I tried wiping data, uninstalling, reinstalling, etc., but nothing worked. I even flashed the rom once again, but to no avail.
Please help!

Which ROM did you flash?
Sent from my Nexus One using xda app-developers app
I flashed Nahim2k7.
The author of the ROM suggested the solution. It was problem with /etc/hosts where google services were blocked along with other ad services. Replaced the hosts file with a file containing only the following:
Code:
127.0.0.1 localhost
Now, it works fine.
solved
same problem
solved by
trying again n again in 5 time it start working as normal ahhaaha.
click maps app ... app open .... require data connection.......... OK ....
did 5 times and got it normal
My gtalk doesn’t sign me in, and my marketplace app downloads just stay on “starting download”.
I am on a unsecured wifi network with no SIM card in, and have tried clearing cache and force restarting the marketplace. I have the latest stock 2.2.1 Froyo update on the Samsung Captivate.
Any pointers for me? Or should I just go ahead and try out an unofficial ROM?
BTW, I have tried hard reset, clearing cache and taking SD card out things mentioned in the other threads.
This problem seems to be a generic Android one, Anyone experience this? Any Solutions one can think of?

You have stock 2.2.1? Don't you mean stock 2.2?
Maybe this is an issue because you don't have a SIM card in the phone. Have you tried it with the SIM card in?
If this is a new account it is possible that the data plan was not set up correctly... I would check with AT&T if you do not have the 3G icon showing in the status bar
** Never Mind, I missed the part about you using WiFi and no SIM ***

Even no sim card, it should still work. I'm thinking your wifi is bad.
I have had problems receiving gtalk messages if I turn data off and use wifi only
CM7
Thanks all,
No, I have not put my SIM yet. Apologies I dint mention before, its a device brought from CL and I plan to use it on network other than AT&T, so I will proceed to rooting and unlocking.
But before I did that, I just wanted to basically use it on WiFi Network, get a feel of my first android device and the overall Samsung package.
The funny thing is, It just started working at other Wifi (secured) network. But the first Wifi network isnt all bad I know because I am using an iPhone and my laptop just fine there!
So I am thinking its gotta be something related to wifi network being unsecured vs. one with WPA2, I just cant think of what.
Can anyone test their captivate (2.2) on unsecured wifi network and let me know if Gtalk and Marketplace downloads work?
Thank you all!
it certainly could be a compatibility issue between you phone's wifi and that particular wireless router. I had that problem with a US Robotics wifi router and my last cell phone, but all other wifi devices connected and worked perfectly. Replaced the router and my cell phone wifi began working perfectly.

I been having weird issues with my captivate. Latley on wifi connection I would have no internet, YouTube, or market. Even sometimes on 3g my YouTube will say no communication or server error as well as android market. It started happening a month ago where my phone kept saying force close cause of facebook and android something and I had to reset it back to default. (People said there was no fix).
Last night I had to reset it again because it kept saying it was downloading a program from the market and never stopped for 2 days. It also disabled any downloadable update. So before I reset I unrooted it with z4 mod and reset. Also wiring stopped working.
It was OK until I rooted with z4 and now I'm starting to get connection issues. It doesn't matter what house I'm at its the same. I rooted it before by using the computer and busybox and it was fine
If the issues only happen when its on wifi....YouTube will never work. It will say error or no network and refuse to do anything even on 3g. And it will never ever let me log into my Google account anymore. I know I'm using the right password cause I can log into my home computer
Also my TV out is all static and blurry regardless of pal or NTSC output and it doesn't work regardless of the plug I use and TV. I even switched all rcas to make sure the video isn't in another output
I'm on eclair 2.1. I am really irritated and tired after a day of searching. Thanks!
An easy way to check to see if its software and not hardware would be to flash stock with Odin. And test again.

Unfortunately I didn't back it up: :/
Also I never flashed before
I was going to try to learn how to flash and I just remembered this phone would never go into its boot menu. I used to be able to use sdk to do it but after my last reset it doesn't work
I'm not dumb I done every method that people said many times with no luck. It has never went to it manually
Try using Titanium Backup to back up important data you might have on your phone. If you're having market problems, connect your phone to your computer and manually backup files. Then, follow the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989 to get Odin3 One-Click and the necessary drivers, and then use it to flash back to stock JF6 (2.1). Then, once you're back in stock JF6, enable USB Debugging in your phone settings, change USB Connection type to Mass Storage, and with Odin3 open, plug in your phone and mount the internal SD card, then click on Master Clear in Odin3, which will wipe all your user data. Then, if you decide to install ClockworkMod Recovery, use it to format cache, user data, and Dalvik cache. Hopefully, this will solve all of your problems
OK...there is nothing much on my phone. All the goods are on the SD card that I can easilly put back on the computer.
I will try what you say. I really want to get everything working before I start having fun with themes and other things to make my phone unique
Thanks. Ill report back later tonight!
My phone works, and for the first time ever I was able to go into the boot screen! lol.
I did the flash, and then master reset.
So what now, should I root it again? Or wait, or fiddle with themes? Or just run stock to see if I have issues?
Will this correct my video output to?
Well I went to the dark side. I felt overconfident in flashing my phone so I decided to learn how to install another ROM. Now I am running cognition 4.3.
I like the new look. The speed is crazy compared to stock 2.1 eclair.
I want to officially thank you for the help that you given me. Its hard to understand sometimes on this forum. But with the assistance of the tutorials on this site, and YOUTUBE everything works out ok. I wish you guys lived closer, id hook you up with some beer lol.
Now I got to figure out why ADB doesnt work on my computer =).
Ill check my video output tomorrow as well.
No problem, I'm just glad your phone works again
And btw, no need for beer because I'm only 16 lol
Hi, I've been having this issue all day after an factory reset and flash of the factory image. I can't log into Google now and keep getting a network error. Doesn't work on wifi, data, I've done a reboot, wiped cache, force stopped Google search. Nothing seems to work. Was chatting with someone on G+ who said he's having the same problem on his G4. Seems to be happening on new device setups and Factory resets? IDK, anyone have this problem? Thanks.

I think it possible has something to do with the new thing where it signs you into apps such as Netflix automatically. My Netflix is setup to a different hotmail account and I think it may be the culprit...
I was having the same issue coming from M back to LYZ28E. I connected to my Wi-Fi at home and the message disappeared. It's been 7 hours already and haven't seen the message again. So I'm guessing that if you're seeing this message try connecting to a Wi-Fi. It might help...

I'm having the same issue. Flashed the 5.1.1 image as well. I was wondering if you flashed the non encrypted image?
Not sure this is related only to flashing M. I've had this same problem after flashing a couple of 5.1.1 ROMs and tried clearing cache for Google Now as well as rebooting, uninstalling-reinstalling Google Now, etc. what finally worked was I went into google settings and deleted card preferences. I was then able to successfully connect and get Google Now set up with the cards I wanted.

So I switched ROMs and I lost Google now again. Turning on mock locations doesn't fix it. Try a different ROM, I was unable to sign in on a particular ROM as well.
