Hmm how long has it been since setting it all up. It might just be all of the google stuff syncing... I had the same thing happen to me! Leave it for 20 minutes or something and see if it works any better

same issue here.. I HATE IT

I doubt it is because of root or rom. I had this issue as wel up until yesterday. It was suddenly fixed. I think because I usually install apps using Astro (or any file explorer), because of hard resetting etc. I thought maybe if i install an app directly from the market, it would fix it. I installed 'msn talk', did a reboot and it's fast now.. I don't know if this was what made it work, but it's working great now.
edit: before that I tried to uninstall a market update and reinstall again. But it was still slow after uninstall, reinstall and cleared caches.
I am on a non rooted device btw.

I`ve rooted 4 devices today and all same to have this issue .. ?

Just out of interest were any of you also missing the "top paid" tab as well. It was missing from my market after rooting as well as the slowdown, then it just appeared about a half hour in. Also did any of you have a similarly slow market when you first got the device. I am on T-mobile and for the first couple of days it was lagging in much the same way as it is now. Maybe it is to do with something new devices do, like the Google sync suggested.

I found that it is best to install all apps manually. Backup programs somehow slow everything down for me! Plus I dont know if the updates are pushed to you because the g market doesnt think you have installed them

My market is so slow but I didnt rooted my device

same issue here...

is that new issue or something to do with android market??? recent update or something? or it is just the desire? Sent from my HTC Desire using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk

It's the same with mine (not rooted) since about 4 days. Have to keep rebooting even to try and install/uninstall anything.

Hmm..
No problems here at all.
Fast market, top paid apps showing.
Rooted with r3 linux cd method.
did not install a2sd.
so far no hiccups at all.

I'm getting this. Rooted, Apps2SD.
Been on a few different ROM's, now back to the original rooted one.
Not all of my restored apps (using Titanium Backup) were showing when I went to Downloads. What I have just done is got Settings - Applications - Manager Apps and cleared the market cache and all the apps seems to have returned. Still very slow though... but maybe getting quicker. Is it a syncing thing?
Anyone that did have the slow down, is it getting quicker now?

I can confirm, clearing the market cache seems to fix this.

Hello,
Yes before i rooted the Market was a dogs arse, Very slow, then after a day or to, it was as fast as i would expect it to be, then i rooted my device, again it was slow for a few days, but is now back to normal.
I think it just needs time to sort its self out, like a alcholic the morning after!!.
The only thing i have used diffrently since i rooted was the cache cleaner app in the market.

I can confirm, clearing the market cache seems to fix this.

It's not instant, but I had to do it again yesterday. I cleared cache and installed about 30 apps. By that time the market was back up to speed.

what if you have no cache to clear and the problem still persists

try logging into google talk, that works for me

Market apps downloads unsuccessful

Hi,is anyone else having problem downloading apps via Market?I've got an unbranded,unrooted Froyo Desire and downloads were fine yesterday but for some reason unknown,Google Market has refuse to complete downloads.Is this issue general?Cheers
Sent from my Archos5 using XDA App

It is driving me crazy all day as well! I got the impression that it was because I installed a new ROM or because I added an EXT partition in Clockworkmod recovery. This was the first time I wanted to try A2SD and it drove me crazy all day not being able to download apps anymore...
Not over Wifi, not over 3G...
And now I have to conclude more people are having this problem today haha
OMG

Yer its killing me,
I need to download My Backup Pro
Just flashed rom and cannot restore nothing.

Just noticed the same issue, was trying to update the YouTube app and download failed. Have tried a factory reset and this hasn't worked. There is a list of possible fixes on the Google support forum, just search for marketplace fix.
Seems odd that several people are having the same issue on the same day, perhaps its a marketplace fault?

Yeah the market is not working properly at the moment.

Damn I need my apps!

Alright so it's not just me going nuts...

same for me. been all night. driving me mad.

Someone from an android forum website suggested the following quote and guess what?,it worked! :-
"I know its going to sound daft, but load up Google talk, sign in, and then retry. I had a problem with my Hero back in the day and that worked. My downloads are going through fine atm"

Market working again
Had the same issue all day yesterday. The Market is working again this morning.

Had the same problem last night. It seems to be working fine today.

Working for me too this morning, tired the Google Talk tip along with many others re: clearing out various caches but none seemed to work. Obviously a fault with the market place than our actual phones.

So is this a common problem then, as I've just recently flashed my phone to 2.2 on the JPM firmware. I was beginning to think it was this, but after I thought about it, it happened to me this morning while I was still running 2.1.
How annoying!

hmm it diden't work yesterday for me but this morning it worked. but now it dosen't :S

I was having the same problem and tried the talk app logging in method which had worked previously in similar circumstances, but this time didn't work yesterday. Later I cleared the cache for the market app via the settings menu and it worked immediately, but was slower than usual.

my unrooted 2.2 desire will not update or download new apps from the market either.
i was thinking it was a memory issue.... had some issues on ota rom upgrade recently and i needed to uninstall 'Google earth' to get it to work despite phone showing ample memory free.
Also I have had the problem since downloading 'voice search' or this could be a coincidence.
So my phone or marketplace fault?
Is everyone else able to download/install again now?

[SOLVED] This is not a market / memory / phone issue
Guys,
I was having this exact same problem and after doing a bit of searching on the internet I found a solution:
It's something to do with internal phone cookies / tokens. The market depends on two sets of data - the market app and "download manager".
You can fix this problem easily in the future if you force close both, and then clear the cache and the data from both from settings -> applications -> manage apps
The reasons signing into google talk would have worked is that it updated the internal token
It seems the time out is very brief - but this is indeed the issue and its fixed every time using this method.
As far as I can tell there is a bug on Android developers already registered.

Sorry Mate ... doesen't fix the problem for me

make sure you force close the apps, market and download manager. then clear the data.
click on your market download list to rebuild it too. then it should work

I had same problem on my desire, and I looked the way to fix it. On phones memory was just 8% of free space, and I erased some apps. On the end I concluded that phone can't download or update anything if it has less than 10% free memory space. After I erased some apps and on that way make more free space on phones memory I was easy downloaded and updated apps from market. I must say that I have non rooted phone.
I hope so that I help with my thread.

Is the Market down / having problems again?

Anyone else experiencing problems with the Market again just now?
It starts to download the file, then comes up download paused, then download unsuccessful.
I have tried Force Stopping and clearing Cache's & data etc, no joy.
Anyone else seeing the same?

Yeah I am having problems as well. Can browse to apps, but not download them.

Yeap..

Thank God - I have been going through all my settings to try and work out how I have screwed up downloading from the market!

This seems to be a routine now ...

Me too - Blade (or san fran)

Good news its working again!

I spent ages the other day trying to fix this. Thought my phone was knackered and was going to reset until I saw this. Can anyone confirm if they can download apps?
EDIT: vukis is right... it's working again! Weird!?

I'd like to say It's fixed... try downloading more than one app at once though. Doesn't work.

Just on cue, seems like its down for its Daily freak out again!

Strangely, I downloaded one new App, then and only then did it freeze up. Server overload?

Same here
Trying to update Goggle Maps and install Opera and nothing.

I've had similar problems. Noticed for me though, it's only for updating apps I've moved to SD card. Move them back to phone to update seemed to work. Move back to SD after update.

I googled this about ten minutes ago and I was reading about having to hard reset and all sorts. I came to see what was going on over here by pure chance and I saw this thread, I'm glad i'm not alone! I've cleared the cache and I could download one app, the new Dolphin browser, now I am back to 'download paused' - 'download unsuccessful'.

Unfortunately this seems to be a daily occurrence now.
Sent from my Amiga 500 using Workbench

Having this problem too, Google must be fudging about with it, really winding me up now, bit of a joke really.
Any official word as to why it's completely useless today?

I just bought CoPilot then it pooped up was hoping to try it for 24hours

Not working for me either.

The problem is well known and definitely server side androiddev just confirmed on Twitter that "the right people" are working on it.

DRM Protected Content Storage eating TONS of data and battery

So I've searched and searched and searched, and cannot find someone with the same issue as me. I am using GingerVillain ROM, and have recently noticed a TON of data being eaten up every day. I mean I normally would use less than 100MB per month, all of a sudden Im up to over 120MB a DAY. Doing nothing but email push! Also my battery life has just gone to nothing. Usually at around 85% as I leave work at night, now less than 40%.
Using 3G watchdog pro, Ive found out what is eating all the data. DRM protected content storage, download, download manager are all listed under an 85MB file that is downloaded every single day, sometimes twice a day. I'm assuming its an OTA update. I have frozen DRM protected content storage, no help. Frozen Download manager, well that sucks because the market won't work at all. Finally froze "download" and we'll see if that helps.
Anyone with any ideas what could be happening? Ive narrowed down what apps Ive recently installed, the only one that comes to mind is the Amazon MP3 store. I uninstalled that last week, but still getting this issue.
Any help would be AMAZING!

Same here
Just like the OP i've noticed that my data usage was unusually high in the month of September . At least 75-80 mb downloaded on a daily basis! I'm using Traffic Monitor and and it lists android.media:10014 as the culprit and under that header it lists Download Manager, Downloads, DRM Protected Storage and Media Storage. When I check task manager it usually shows DRM Protected Storage Media as active.
I'm actually starting to wonder if I downloaded some rogue app.
If someone can shed some light on this issue there is a big thank you in it for you!

MIUI 1.8.12

Found out what's causing excessive data use, its Market trying to update itself. Only way I can stop this is to use Droidwall to block 'android.media' but then Market will not download apps.

The 70-80 meg one is the update from tmobile.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App

I never truly found out what was causing the data usage myself. The issue went away once I wiped and re-installed the latest MIUI ROM.

You could freeze market updater with titanium to keep the market from updating

I tried that, and also tried removing marketupdater.apk from system. Both methods stopped it from updating but android.media still downloads an obscene amount of data. Very strange.

The only way I found to stop this was to let market update itself and live with it. Its really not that bad when you've been using it for a while.

if this is updating apps you can set the auto update on playstore to update only on wifi... Or disable the auto update at all..

I know it's an old thread but this is what came up on google so i guess i'll post here in case someone have the same problem.

Btw I've tried using uc browser mini and Firefox along with stock browser with no luck.
Sent from my HTC One V using Tapatalk 2

have you tried connecting to WiFi?
if your answer is yes then open your app manager and uninstall all of the browsers except the stock one then clear data and force stop it then reopen it through your app drawer and try again

I've tried clear cache I've tried removing all browsers and it downloads like half a mb then ends and I can't resume I don't have wifi at home but works at McDonald's just fine.... This didn't happen until my phone got messed up and I had to factory reset not sure what to do I'm on 2g anyways until after midnight Sunday might have to wait till then.
