Wont Download apps - Desire General

Hey ive had my desire for about a month now and i loaded it up with apps when i started but recently ive been tryin to downlaod some new ones but it wont download, it will sit at starting download forever. i have tried this on wifi and on mobile connections. i did just manage to download the flashlight apk from the QR code but it still doesnt like the market for some reason, is there any fix to this? ive tried taking out battery an sim and memory card and rebooting but to no avail, many thanks if anyone can help, tom

I had exactly the same thing yesterday, everything had been working fine for a week or so, and then suddenly when I went to the market, nothing would download.
Like you, I tried all of the obvious rebooting etc etc, but still downloads just displayed "starting download" or something similar, and it just stayed there!
Finally decided to do a "Factory data reset", under "Privacy" in the "Settings" menu and that seemed to work. I hope it doesn't start doing it again, as it took me forever to get everything setup again!

had the same today.
i went to cache/dalvik-cache and deleted [email protected]@[email protected]
worked afterwards
No idea what I have done but it did help

I find signing into google talk works

Lost access to copy protected apps after root + A2SD

Hi guys I rooted my desire using the live cd method, powered up my phone before installing a2sd and I could see all of my download history on the market with access to all apps. After this I booted into recovery using step2 on the live cd and installed A2SD. When I turned the phone on again all of the download history was gone and I can't see apps like Google Earth, National Rail etc.
I thought I did something wrong so I wiped the device and installed the rooted rom update again with a2sd at the same time. The problem still exists and nothing has changed.
Could you please help me because this is very annoying and I cant set up my phone the I want until this is resolved.
Very strange... Use Market enabler > http://market-enabler.googlecode.com/files/MarketEnabler_latest.html
install, apply new settings and reboot, problem solved
Thanks for the suggestion but the market enabler doesn't solve it, I tried it.
Another strange thing that I found is I have an .apk of CoPilot which I was using before rooting and when I tried installing it now it gives me an error "Application not installed".
I still haven't solved this problem and its really bugging me.
I un-rooted my phone and used a different google account with no luck. I still don't see some applications in the market.
Just to let you know I am in the UK using a generic sim free desire on 3 network. Could you please, please, please help me out. I am running out of options and I thought unrooting would fix it.
Weird issue you are describing. As far as I know it depends on the fingerprint of the build.prop in the ROM (and if Google added it to the white list(?)) or not.
Many people are using the rooted ROM (all the same build.prop) and they can access protected apps just fine. So probably the problem lies elsewhere.
I have a similar problem, before I rooted my device I could see all apps I bought in my g1 days. After I rooted first of all none showed up, after a day or so only a few showed up... rebooted a few more times (only ever flashed once using Windows with apps2sd) now I have a few I had before show up not all just a few and thats how its been since. weird. I had half results :/

Same problem here with one single application.
Had SlideIT paid version installed on stock firmware.
Once i rooted it gave me the message "application not installed" once i tried to install it.
Funny enough the SlideIT lite version is still able to install fine.
Definitely want it to work again, so i hope someone knows how to fix it
I tried a couple of different ROMs today and had this same problem, clicking My Downloads would just show a blank screen, and there was no "Top Paid Apps" tab. I tried unrooting, rerooting, nothing fixed it, until I found this;

Pushing that xml file (note the spelling mistake before you do it) fixed it all back up, no idea what caused it to get all messed up and why it wasn't fixed by wiping and reflashing.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I tried to push the file via adb shell in windows and got permission denied. Am I doing it right or do I need to root the phone again to be able to push that file because I have reverted back to the generic stock rom?
Mine was rooted when I pushed it, try re-rooting it and pushing it again I guess.
I finally got around to re-rooting it and tried your solution with pushing that file but no change to my market
Just to be clear I can see the Top Paid apps tab, but I cant access copy protected apps like Google Earth.

Download Unsuccessful Error

I just flashed back to CM 7.0.3 (came back from MIUI) and the market will start the download but I keep getting the DOWNLOAD IS NOT SUCCESSFUL error, I did a full wipe and cleared the cache and the market cache as well but nothing has worked. I really need help fellas, thanks in advance.
It occasionally does that, and the CM team is looking into it. Have you tried the newest nightly? Is this on 3G, wifi, or both? Can you try it on both if you haven't?
The weird thing is that I was on CM7.0.3 before I tried MIUI and never had a problem, but when I switched back to CM7.0.3 I started to have this issue. Anyways, I just tried downloading the apps on 3G and it worked so thank you for that, but I'm still trying to figure out why this happened to me ? lol.
Wait scratch that, spoke too soon I was able to download 1 app and then it went back to download unsuccessful, fml.
Try signing into Google Talk. I had this problem numerous times, and found out that Google's main solution is that one must be signed in to Google Talk or the Market will fail to download apps.
i am currently running stock, but when I get that error I have to move the app from my SD card to the phone.

[Q] Installed CyanogenMod updates no connection to Play Store

I was running cm-10.2.1 and last night I installed CyanogenMod updates cm-11-20140104-SNAPSHOT-M2 and cm-11-20140210-SNAPSHOT-M3. Several of my apps either quit working or disappeared. When I clicked on Play Store to try and re-install the apps, I got a message of "No Connection". Searched the problem and several people said to delete the Google Account and re-install it. After deleting it, the phone will not let me recreate it. When I click on Add Account and then the Google symbol, nothing happens.
Is there solution to fix this? if not, can I just re-install 10.2.1 and fix it?
My phone is an AT&T SGS3.
Thanks,
retnuh
Re-flash GApps, that has happened to me before, and this is what fixed it.
As LittlePalmTree stated, sounds like you need to reflash GAPPS. Make sure you grab the one compatible with cm11. cm11 is android 4.4 where as cm10.2 was 4.3 if I am not mistaken.
Thanks for the help. I tried to re-flash the gapps after reading the first reply but before reading the second reply. You guessed it. I did it wrong. The phone would not get past the spinning circle screen. Ended up using CWM to re-flashing the rom stored on my phone and also re-flashing the gapps stored on my phone. So, I'm back to version 10.2.0, but at least my phone is working again. While I would like to update, I'm afraid I will mess my phone up again.
Thank you for both of your replies.
Googled the problem and found a few solutions from the simple - force stop/clear cache - up to full factory resets.
Different things seemed to work for different people.
Tried the force stop/clear cache and check time/date is correct (which causes some people problems.
Then I tried removing my Google account and adding it in again. However, it wouldn't let me do that until I re-flashed GAPPS. Did that and it all works fine now.

HELP!!!

Hello. I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 that I rooted several months ago. When I rooted it, I removed bluetooth drivers on accident. Today, I decided to backup all my data to my SD Card and factory reset it. And I did. That's where **** went downhill. Upon the tablet rebooting, I discovered that I cannot download anything in Google Play (mind you, SD Card has not been put back in since I removed it before factory reset). Now I have spent 8 hours googling how to fix it and everything I have done does not work. I have removed the google account, rebooted, and re-added the account (exactly 21 times now), I have factory reset it a dozen times, I have cleared all data and cache (in system settings for the apps (Google Play and Google Play Services) along with in the tablet's boot settings as well. I have logged into my account on a computer and removed the tablet and re-added it. I have tried downloading it from Chrome and it won't download at all. I even went as far as to un-root the tablet and do everything over again, step by agonizing step. And no. Not. A. God. Damn. Thing. Has. Worked. By now I am extremely pissed and I would love to get this stupid problem fixed. I would greatly appreciate any and all help sent my way.
The time and date is set correctly and the Root Explorer didn't work. Thank you for your reply though.

[Q] Google Playstore Broke?

Good morning! Alright. So. All I've done to my phone was Root it and get Xposed on it. Everything was completely fine until last night. Now, whenever I try to download anything from the Playstore, it just gets stuck on "Downloading". I've tried wiping its cache, its data, force closing it, reinstalling the update. Nothing seems to solve this issue. I was wondering if anyone else has run into this issue on this phone, and how they resolved it? I can't even update my applications, and I didn't even get a chance to Update my Phone, but now when I try to Scan for Updates, it just gets stuck searching :/
This happened to me at first. What worked for me for a couple days was to toggle airplane mode. Then, it started getting stuck again. So, I downloaded Beans GAPPS, and extracted Google Play services and Play Store.apk, and that seems to be working. Keep in mind, that not everything is going to work smoothly. If none of this works, look for the .apk and move it to your device and install it that way. Hope that helps, bud.
I tried Googling Beans GApps, but it seems like they haven't been updated in about a year. Or am I looking in the wrong places?
This has also been my problem since getting a pixel 2 xl almost a month ago. In fact, I wanted to make a thread about my issue earlier but I'm just too lazy! The only thing I did at first was to unlock the bootloader.
Now, I am completely stock without even root but my playstore downloads are stuck in "downloading" and usually the download starts after being stuck in this phase with about 15-30 minutes delay (which could even be hours before my download is finally started, so it's random). The funny thing is playstore lists my device certification status as "uncertified" in the settings. I have tried clearing cache+data of play services+play store+removing/adding my Google account. I also did a fresh and clean install of the May security update rom but all to no avail. I remember reading in another thread that Google may impose a 7 day lock or something for your Google account in these instances so at this point I am just waiting it out (only 3-4 more days remaining) to see if my problem goes away by itself, otherwise, I am pretty clueless as to what I should do next.
