Before we start... yes, I have searched the forums and thats why I've started this thread.
Setup: CWM, VEGAn 5.1, Titanium Backup and Root Explorer
EVERYTHING is working except for this...
I have run the market fix step by step (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=845175) and have access to the full market. I can even get all the way to initiating the download of the app. However, when the download starts, it just hangs in 'starting download...' and does nothing. It doesnt download or install, just hangs.
This seems to be a known issue with phones with no answer...

I have run multiple reboots in combination with data/cache wipes using app manager and CWM. I'm sure that I'm missing something but I have no clue what it is. Help is greatly appreciated?

Just had it happen on my phone. I fixed it by going into applications and clearing the data from google services framework. Then reboot...
Mine does this if I try to use it from work. The firewall allows normal web, and transparently proxies FTP so I'd think it would work, but it doesn't.
sign into google talk and all should be well... google's market depends on gtalk service - signing into gtalk should do it for you.

Thanks for the heads up. You are right that it is dependent on GTalk, but I think I've stumbled across the main issue. When I connect to someone's else's wifi (couple of people in my apt complex have left their routers unprotected), I don't have any issues connecting to gtalk or market. So obviously, my gtab is having an issue with the connection through my network/firewall/<insert idea>, I'm assuming.
Are there any known network/firewall issues with connecting to gtalk or the market?
I'm running TnT Lite 3.1 and finally got all the apps to load up on market using the "market fix" that you tried as well, but am stuck on "starting download" as you are. Although it's possible that it has something to do with the router, I turned the firewall on my router completely off and still hangs. I wish we could figure this one out.
Just know you are not alone.

I don't know if this will help but I have seen that a couple times and have found that if I tap on the app that is stuck it will go back to the menu asking if you want to install like you would see when you first tried it. Say ok, it will start to download again. Seems most times it will then download.
I have in the past had apps just stay stuck. Only thing that I could ever do to fix that was to clear the data from the Google services framework, and reboot. Kind of like doing the market fix again.
Try clearing cache for the downloader. It could be there is a bad file "stuck" there that it is trying to resume...
It's even possible that there is a zero byte file there with perms wrong...happened to me once after switching ROMs
How do you sign into gtalk? Is it already installed in TnT by default? I don't see an icon for it.
Are you running a custom rom or stock. Stock has no Google Apps

I'm running TnT Lite, version 3.1 I believe.
I can obviously navigate to the main page google.com/talk, but don't see a link there to install for android/gtab. If my market worked I could probably install from there, but that's the whole reason I'm messing around with talk. Still can't get my market to install anything, despite market fix, clear this, clear that, etc.
You can reinstall TnT rom without wiping data/cache. I would wipe cache. The gTalk app (Talk) should have installed with TnT lite. This will reinstall everything in the rom wothout wiping your data. You may still have to wipe data/cache but you can try it in steps

Ok I found talk and cannot login. Says "could not connect to server. Will retry shortly." I confirmed my internet is working as I can connect with the browser. I can also still connect to Market, find apps, but cannot get them to download. I've cleared the data in Google services framework and rebooted several times with no solution. ARGHH!!

Sorry if you have already done this but....I would backup my apps and THEIR data with titanium backup and do a complete reinstall. Wipe data/ factory reset and then install the rom again. Restore your apps and their date with Titanium. Don't restore system data with Titanium.

Ok will try that and get back to you. I don't really have to backup anything, will just do a wipe and reinstall. Thanks for your help.
Well chit. I downloaded the new TnT 4.1 and figured I'd give that a try.
Restarted w/ clockworkmod .08, cleared cache, cleared data, then installed TnT.
After booting back up some of the buttons weren't working, couldn't type in my wireless password, it would keep jumping to the home screen, then I couldn't shut down, power button would not turn the damn thing off.
Copied the TnT 3.1 update.zip back to the sdcard. Went into settings and did a data reset/wipe and finally it shut down.
So I restarted with clockwork mod again and wiped cache and data reset, loaded TnT 3.1 and let it boot up.
Was able to enter wireless password and get that going and confirmed the internet was working. Then went to market and or course it was not working. So did market fix, after installing titanium backup. Had to reboot a few times after force stopping google services and market, and wiping cache/data (from within settings) each time and finally all the apps showed up in market.
However, still unable to get anything to install.
Tried to login to google talk with same result.
I'm now thinking it must be something with my firewall as the first user mentioned. Going to try it on another connection and let you guys know.
I can confirm that it is something to do with my firewall. Finally tried market on another connection and it downloaded right away. Now I have to get verizon to give me a new router. DOH!
EDIT Now I can download from market just fine from my original location. It seems that once I downloaded the first time from a different location, now it is all working.
Anyone have apps that download and not install? I've been having this problem, before my memory even got low for apps so I wiped everything and reinstalled my apps and had less then half a gb of apps.
Things seemed good but today it started happening again, apps will hang in downloading or will download and not install.
I have a Galaxy S I9000M, just came back from repair at the Montreal Repair Depot.
Had some trouble unlocking it to run on Fido network, but finally got that working using Helroz's unlock tool (so, phone is rooted) and unlocked).
Used it for a little while (about an hour) installed a couple of apps, and now, suddenly, I cannot install apps from the Android Market. When I try to install, the app goes through the process of downloading, but then it does nothing. I get no error message, no notice of install failing, the app download indicator disappears from my notification area, and the app is not installed.
Has anyone else run into this issue?
Any idea of a fix? I have powered off/on, no change. I would prefer to avoid having to factory reset, but will do so if absolutely necessary.
Thanks in advance for any input.
Having the same exact problem here...
same issue
Same thing is happening to me as well. It started after I rooted my phone using super one click root.
I also used super one click root on my phone, but the if that's the cause of the problem, then it doesn't cause it right away. I was able to install several apps after rooting, then suddenly I couldn't install anything.
I have read that for some people, unmounting the SD card will work. i had an external SD card installed, but i had that in before I downloaded apps that installed properly. For me, unmounting (and removing) the external SD card did not have any effect on my problem.
For what it's worth, I'm not running any special ROm or anything - just standard Froyo 2.2 (JL2) as released by Samsung for the Bell I9000M (I didn't upgrade, it shipped back from repair with JL2 installed).

let the market update the new version of maps and itll work. its workin now for me.
How can I force Maps to update?
Just some info guys: it seems to be a known issue. Checked the help in the main Market page: http://market.android.com/support/bin/static.py?page=known_issues.cs .
It's under download and installation issues. Please report it if you're having the same problem so they can fix it faster.
Ok the problem seems to be fixed by downloading/updating the Google Maps app. If it still doesn't work make sure to:
-clear data on the market app
-restart your phone
-update Google map and let it install fully
Galaxyluv, can you tell me how to force Maps to update itself? I cannot find any option to make it update

I am not really sure, mine showed that it needed an update. Maybe you can try to uninstall/install Google Map again and make sure to clear data on the market application FIRST.
After clearing my Market cache, and uninstalling market updates, market re-updated itself, and I can now install apps again (who knows fo how long, though). Hopefully, it will stay and i will stay happy.
Under Manage Applications I can't uninstall Market Updater for the above solution.
Any help?
im haviing the same issue guys, i have put a post up with same sort of problems

Sorry could I get some clarification on the suggestion jayisgod posted? Cos Im obviously missing something here.
I personally force stopped the market App, cleared the data in Manage Applications (btw the Cache button is grayed out) and then restarted the Market app (Agreed on the terms blah blah) and still get the same issue.
Btw in Manage Applications -> All I can see a Market Updater package but I can't delete it or force stop it (both options are grayed out).
Thanks
PS: I am using Darky's Rom V9.1 if that makes any difference

I have a Streak 7 with android 2.2.2 on it. And rooted.
I cant seem to download some app's.
Facebook, messenger, and a few more.
This doesn't make since.
Can someone help?
Have you tried the Amazon App store?
I have the same problem. Apps that say they are compatible and that I installed on my ZTE Blade and Mid7 tab won't install on the Streak. Trying to install Lookout and WiFi Sync Manager.
Anyone got any ideas on this one. I could find the apks and force install but would prefer to do it through the market

Those should all work on 2.2.2. Try clearing cache and data on your Market and starting fresh (Home---> Menu---> Settings---> Applications---> Manage Applications---> All---> Market---> Force Stop, Clear Cache, Clear Data; restart and open your Market). Doesn't affect anything and it's worth a shot.
Did you flash 2.2.2 rooted, or root 2.2.2? If the above doesn't work, you may have a corrupted Market. If that's the case, download the new Market apk here:

Tried the market reset, no difference, then installed the new market and still no difference. I have a new streak 7 with 2.2.2 installed and rooted using gingerbreak.

I just tried installing the Facebook app on 2.2.2 (Streakdroid 1.3), and had no issues with it. Unless someone has a better idea, I would recommend doing one of the following:
1. Install via the web based market.
2. Load up ClockworkMod Recovery (via ROM Manager; available in the market) and flash a new ROM. I'd go with Streakdroid if you don't need WiFi, stock/rooted 2.2.2 if you do.
Sounds like you got a bad update, but I can't say for sure. If you install a custom ROM and still have no luck, it may be something specific to your Google account (though I should think that would be far less likely than something being wrong with your particular firmware on your S7).
Hey guys I just recently started having issues with my Droid 1, I am running Cyanogen 7.1.0, Android Ver. 2.3. Some of the Apps on the Market keep telling me that my device is not compatible with that App.. Especially navigation Apps or Apps that have to do with maps.. Can anyone explain to me why???
Its because the apps you are trying are not available in your country I think.
I am unable to install firefox. Shows the same message.
But it would be good if someone would address this issue as I think problem is with CM.
Try wiping market cache and data in the applications settings, reboot and give it another try. I'm pretty sure this is what fixed it for me but it's been awhile so no guarantees. Good Luck
Fixed it?
Anyone found if wiping cache worked?
So far wiping the cache and data is working great for me. I haven't ran into any more problems.. Thank You DroidAddict101..
So, recently I noticed that my Market (or Google Play, whatever you want to call it...) got updated to version 3.5.15. Since then, I'm not able to download some free apps like the newest Angry Birds (space) for example. It keeps saying that there is some kind of purchasing problem even though the app is free? This also happens with a few other apps...
The strangest thing is that I can download some other apps like Coin Dozer with the newest version, and I can't even update every app. I mean, I can update some of them, but I can't update Superuser for some reason...
I'm using the latest Temasek's KANG with the latest kernel from vadonka. (HOC LITE OTF 48MB). And I was wondering if this problem is related to the market version.
EDIT: So, I figured that I can only download apps from the Play Store I previously downloaded before. With other words, apps I once installed but then removed. (like Coin Dozer).
Thx for taking your time!
UPDATE 1:
So, after messing around a bit I finally managed to solve this problem. First I deleted all the updates and installed the market apk 3.4.4. Afterwards I made sure that the apk wouldn't update itself again with the help from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1431341
Now I got a functional Market again. It's not the latest, but at least it's working normally again. I know it didn't really solve the problem with Market 3.5.15, which is a pity because I kinda liked the new updates. But, Hey, you win something and you lose something.
UPDATE 2:
Finally, after the help from UnityCake (Thanks bro! ) , I managed to solve this problem and now I've got Market 3.5.15 working again! .
Thanks you guys for your help!
I really appreciated it!
I have the same configuration and all works fine. Try to reinstall the rom
or you could try clearing your market cache if you haven't already, failing that boot into recovery and wipe cache & dalvik there. or.. uninstall the market updates, and let it update again later =)

Hmmm... I already tried wiping cache and fixing the permissions. I'm pretty sure the problem is related to this specific version because previous versions were working fine for me. But I will try it, thanks for the tips!

I had a big bug with latest version a couple of days ago, I couldn't instal anything and all installed apps vanished from market menu.
I erased my Google account from the phone and set it again and all was ok then.
Yes it's the same version

So I suppose you need to erase your Google account with the 'accounts & synchronization' option in settings. However when I try to do that, it says I only can delete my account by doing a factory reset in the 'Privacy' option. My question is, isn't there an easier way to delete my Google account, without losing all my data?
Maybe try to re-install/flash Google Play Store. We have the same ROM and KERNEL, but, I don't have any problem with the latest Market. Hope it helps.

Hmmm.... Okay, then I will factory reset my phone and reflash everything and see if that works... I can always restore my apps with Titanium Backup, so it's not a real big problem anyways.
UPDATE: So after a factory reset and a total reflash, Play Store 3.5.15 still doesn't work . It asked for permission when I opened the app for the first time and then it worked for a short time. Afterwards it asked again for the same permission and I accepted again and now I have the same problem as before. I'm clueless right now, any idea guys?
weird.. if you did a factory reset and reflashed it, the issue must be fixed. maybe its a rom issue or kernel?

Unlikely, I mean, you've got the same combination as me, like many others and it works fine on your phone and on the phones of everyone else. I really don't know what the problem is . Anyway I managed to fix this problem (sort of) so I got a decent market again .

I had this same issue. The quickest way to fix Market 3.5.15 is to:
1. Erase data for google play and Google Services Provider
2. Enter Recovery --> Advanced --> Fix Permissions
So now I can download apps on 3.5.15 without downgrading
