All my market downloads stall at "Starting download..."

EDIT: I solved it with a factory reset.

Is your card setup OK in your Google account?

yes, but im not buying any apps.
i cant even download free apps.

I'm having the same/similar problem with newly purchased apps... it seems I have to keep aborting downloading and retry a few time before it works... free apps or previously paid ones are fine.

mine doesnt even download free apps!

It happens to me when phone memory drops below 15 MB, check your memory...

Nah, happens to me sometimes, even though I'm using APPS2SD+, so no memory problems. Switching WiFi on and off and restarting the download seems to sort it out eventually, but I'm not sure it does anything that just waiting wouldn't do. Very annoying anyways.

signing into Google Talk (Talk) solves the problem

Yeah, I used to have the same problem on my Hero, and what StrongOneX says is true....though hardly a solution, more a workaround I'd say.

Just wondered of you'd changed your google email to gmail recently? i did, and google talk and hence market stopped working. Its a bug google knows about, and has not managed to solve for about 3 weeks now! If this is the case, then change it back to googlemail via settings and under accounts tab.

thank you everybody, I solved i with a factory reset.

This has been happening to me as well today, I can't download anything, even if I use wi-fi.
Is there someone else out there with the same problem? (I don't really wanna do a factory reset...)

had similar probs after reverting from froyo rom to mcr 3.1, tried activating gtalk, reboots, on/off wifi, changing gmail accts etc, eventually had to do a factory reset

For me, it turned out that having the "low memory space" warning blocked any download from the Market.
I had to uninstall a couple of apps to resolve this. Very annoying.

my phone doesn't sign in Gtalk neither
it steel hangs on starting download mood! also my modem shows some data transfer
someone help

So only option is factory reset for this?
I get download failed notification....
(3g or wifi no difference)

PLEASE EDIT FIRST POST! This does **NOT** require factory reset: MISLEADING "solved"

THIS is the correct answer: You don't have to do any factory reset. It's a very simple -- ANNOYING YES -- but consistent easy to remedy issue.
Invariably, you will be getting a warning in notification bar about "Empty Space getting low" .... Well, unlike most warnings that you can ignore until it maybe says "NO MORE SPACE", pretty much from the moment you get that notification, the phone blocks you from further Marketplace downloads as a self-protection mechanism. Annoyingly, it doesn't TELL you that more specifically... You just see the list of apps that you thought were downloading in the background instead just stuck in a queue, as though simply trying to connect to the server to start the download. When in fact they are stalled due to LOW SPACE...
Android should solve this by a better form of NOTIFICATION -- at the point where you click "download" or OK, whatever the final screen-action is after you approve the access the app will have to your phone.
THE REMEDY IS SIMPLE, but annoying: and you can do it many ways:
(1) Easiest way is to click on the "LOW SPACE" notification item itself (after pulling down the notification bar) ... That takes you directly to Android's native Apps Removal Tool -- where the best thing to do is first: Sort by FILE SIZE. Then you will have to sacrifice something you probably don't use anyway, or if you do it's rarely -- like a 2nd music/radio player, or YELP type app, or a second Keyboard app or browser... dump it... try to dump about 5 MB
OR
(2) Use your favorite Apps Removal Tool ... The only thing I would say is, I have found that various Apps Removal Tools don't always gain access to things like FONT PACKS you've installed or weather widget icon-packs that you could dump -- whereas the native tool does.
NOTE: Plan on waiting 30 seconds or so afterwards. It isn't instantaneous like when you clear a PRINT QUEUE on your printer by killing a bunch of files -- and then suddenly the printing resumes. For whatever reason it takes a moment or two -- but from the moment that Notification Icon for "low empty space" disappears from the bar, your downloads in queue will RESUME DOWNLOADING in an instant.
---
And now, I am guessing this will all become a MOOT POINT with apps2SD and Froyo! -- but, I still don't have froyo -- and prob some of you others don't either...

Even with Froyo part of the app stays on the phone after transferring it to SD and that's if you're lucky enough to have apps that support the move to SD option.

Market not working (download won't start) new Evo

Ok,
(Before those that have nothing to do start shouting, I have searched! I spend hours last night looking and time this morning looking. This error is NOT related to a googlemail/gmail switch..it is NOT related to internet connection..it is NOT related to some obscure cache issue [i think]. So now that caveate is out of the way....)
I cannot download anything from the Market. Here is the process as I see it...
- Open Market app from phone
- Find app I want and click download
- Go back to main Market screen and click download tab
- App sits there with a 'starting download process'
Now...if the error is somewhere there...can someone please tell me.
But...a few minutes later I get this...
- Alert noise goes off
- Alert says Google Talk authentication failed
- Go and stop the app in the running apps screen
- Find GTalk app on phone and start it up
- It hangs up on the Talk bubble screen with Signing in swirly thing just going round
- Eventually that alert noise goes off again
So...there seems to have been an issue many months back when UK customers switched from googlemail domains to gmail domains. But I have never had either. I am registered with google and I have one of my personal emails set up on that account. I can log into google, I can use Picasa, I can use the forums, etc.
Now, I already have three different email accounts to keep track of...do not need a fourth. But in a fit of desperation I tried to set up a gmail account last night. After 30 minutes of trying to find a user name I gave up. I do not want to be D.sablesurfer.432456 or whatever stupid azz suggestion it gives.
So...things I am wondering...
Is Google Talk integrated with Market somehow?
Can you just use Market with a regular Google log in?
How do I make google talk work since there appears to be no where on phone to change any settings?
Where is google talk looking on my phone for log in information?
Does this have anything to do with the weird sprint email address that seems to be registered to my phone? (Current username = [email protected]) (Obviously where my name would be my real name.)
Please help, the internet has been wholey useless in showing me an answer to this issue.

Oh...and if I log into google web page from phone...and choose Talk from the more menu...
....I am logged into Talk!!!
Yep, it just pulls right up with no complaints.

Ok, lots of looks no feedback.
I stopped by Sprint today and they say basically that my really old Google log in will not work. They said will need to set up an actual GMail account and replace it on the phone.
HOWEVER....there is NO way to replace it without the factory reset. Seriously? Has the Evo or HTC...or Sprint locked this thing down so much that you can never change accounts?
I changed password online...and the incorrect password screen ONLY lets me change password. The account name is greyed out.
I went into Manage Applications and the only button active is the Force Stop. The Clear Data button doesn't even exist. And after the force stop it still does not exist.
How does this make any sense? Really? People are NEVER going to change accounts? Sounds way too strict to me at moment.
So basically...unless anyone else has an idea...on the Evo (not heros or g1's)...I will have to do the factory reset tonight? This sucks.

Have you tried settings, accounts and sync, click on the google account and hit remove account?

Yup, no go. The default in the Evo seems to be permanently locked in. Well until you do the factory reset. I just posted my findings/tip over on general. This is a pisser for a newbie to android and as a LONG time programmer sucks to be locked in like that.

My market was useless earlier.
the name###@sprintpcs.com is just sprints username for you, it's used for network stuff

I'm having the same issue. tired the google search too ... wish I didn't have to do a hard reset... I hope somebody come up with a fix for this
EDIT:
Here's all that I did. I'm not sure which part fixed the issue.
*I un-synced Gmail (still didn't work)
*I deleted the pop Gmail account I had set up (still didn't work)
*I went into the market, canceled everything that was pending a download, then I re-synced Gmail, and set my pop Gmail account back up and BAM!!!! It worked. (Oh and I restarted after I did all of this)
Hope this helps...

Same problem here, hope someone with great idea can help. I am also struck on my HTC evo

Market still won't downlaod
I'm on JI6,
i have this problem that i cannot get the Market to download.
I didn't see and end to this story, only that it could be a Market problem.
But still i have this issue now for 3 days, i did most of the things in this thread.
nothing works ...
HELP

This happens to everyone.
Go to applications.
Click all applications.
Find market. Click market.
Click, clear cache, and clear data.
Restart.

I'm over that, clear the data of download manager ,and from the Market application, removed the update from the market , wifi on , wifi off .....
Still wont download

Then it's your internet if that does not work.
Check your firewall

what firewall , if i work in 3G ?

I'm having the same problem...I just flashed Myn's 2.2 RL3 and it is no different than it ever was. It's pissing me off. I've tried every solution that I could find.

I was having a similar issue with my Evo running OMJ's 4.5.
On the market.android.com site I would click install, select my phone, and it said my install would start shortly, but it never did. I scoured the net and found a fix that worked for me. Try this:
Menu -> Settings -> Appplicaltions -> Manage Applications
Select the 'All' tab
Scroll down and open 'Google Services Framework' -> Clear Data and Force Stop
Hit back and open 'Market' -> Clear Data, Clear Cache (if available), and Force Stop
Reboot
Open Market. You are going to get an error, be patient and let it sit for a moment and it will come up by itself.
You should be golden after this. Let me know how it works for you.

Why must people resurrect dead threads, do they lack the ability to read, the last post to this thread was in the first week of november, if this was still happening, this would be an active thread.

"Low on Space" notification. Won't go away.

Hi, I'm having an issue with the "Low on Space" notification. I deleted many applications, a moved my videos to my PC, the memory is like half available (free), and the "Low on Space" notification won't go away. Even after pulling out the battery several times.
-Another issue that happened since this notification is there is that GMAIL won't push. Not even if I manually sync. (or try to sync). It just won't do it.
-It won't download any application from the market. Probably because it thinks there is no space. It displays the downloading icon for ever.
Either way, these two last issues may be related to the Google email account set up on the phone. It's not asking for a password or anything. to fix this I would need to do a reset, but I would lose all my information!
I have the latest upgrades and it's stock.
If anyone has an idea please let me know. Thanks.

I'd just wipe the phone and start from scratch.

fixed, for now.
It was fixed. Strange.
I wiped, but only the gmail accounts. Then I recreated them again. Finally they were able to sync. The Market would download applications again. the "low on space" msg is gone.
I would like to know what triggered this...

Something else I did right before it worked again. I uninstalled the Ebay application. Coincidence?

Perhaps not. I can imagine the cache for that can get quite large.
While this is not conclusive, it might be worth trying again, and when the
"low on space messages occur" try going to manage apps > ebay > clear cache
to see if that makes the difference. If it does, you'll know for sure.
--Chris

how were you able to wipe only the gmail accounts? I'm having the exact same problems and can't figure it out for the life of me. Another thing that I noticed is that gTalk will not start at all...

[Q] "Account wasn't found. It may have been removed." - Exchange Server

Hi all - I searched for references to this issue, but haven't found anything yet. Hope someone here can help.
I've been using my Galaxy Nexus (LTE / Verizon) since mid December, locked, unrooted, vanilla - and it's been great. I've been using the native email apps for my GMail account and my work/corporate account on our company's Exchange Server. All has worked perfectly so far. First sign of something weird happened last night.
Last night I backed up, rooted and unlocked my GNex (using the WugFresh utility). I followed the directions closely -- all worked pretty much perfectly. As suggested, I took 2 backups: first without system apps and settings, and the 2nd including them. After I was done rooting and unlocking, I restored the big backup with system apps and settings. Only thing I noticed is that passwords are apparently not part of the settings that can be saved/restored (makes sense!), so I had to reenter credentials for my email apps.
This done, I sync to both GMail and Exchange Server, receive and send mail just fine. Only weird thing is that when I tap the EMail icon to start up the email client that talks to Exchange Server, in addition to opening up my inbox properly, I ALSO see two error messages in sequence:
"Account wasn't found. It may have been removed."
and
"Folder wasn't found. It may have been removed."
The errors then fade, and email is perfectly usable.
I'm guessing that some folder and account entry was restored along with the apps from my backup, and that whatever these pointed to no longer exist, and were superseded by they email app when I reconnected to the Exchange Server during setup after rooting / unlocking.
I've looked - and only see a single account configured in the app -- the correct one. I've checked in Settings / Apps, and there are no options to clear data or cache.
I'm wondering if I should delete the one account I see and re-add it...not sure if that will make a difference.
Anyone have a clue what's going on, and what I might do about it?
thanks in advance,
Jon

Im having the exact same problem!!

In the end, I wound up doing a factory reset on the phone. I was tempted to delete and recreate the account, but I'm convinced there was a phantom (non-existent?) folder / account that the email client kept trying to refer to and that this would have persisted. A factory reset cured the issue, and this time I did NOT restore my entire backup including system apps and data. Instead, I let Google Play and Amazon App store reinstall 99% of my apps, leaving me 3 or 4 that I had to do by hand. In the end it didn't take long at all to do this, and result is a happy Galaxy Nexus once more.

Hi, just wanted to let you know what the solution was in my case. I was messing around with everything, wasting two full days with about 100 times recreating the account, trying to restore/replace Mail/ExchangeServices app/data in various different ways, factory reset, reflashing system, etc. etc. ... nothing helped!
Finally, a few minutes ago I got it: Just recreate the stupid homescreen link! I never thought about trying to start the Mail application via "all apps". If I did (earlier), I would have seen (earlier) that the message does not appear then. It only appears when starting it via my homescreen link, which is actually a widget (looking like a normal app link), configured to open a certain folder of a certain account. So the actual problem was just that this widget could not find the "old" account anymore (probably because some account id changes if an account is deleted and recreated). The reason I've been fooled over and over again (even after factory resets and system flashes) is because I always restored my homescreen stuff in one way or another, so I always used the same old broken link.
D'OH!
Hope that next time someone comes across this issue this post will help. Currently there seems to be no (other) solution to this on the internet. At least I did not find anything in the past two days.

Thanks for posting an easy solution!

Thank you so much. I just had to recreate my account settings (5 of them since Ihave corporate but also use exchange settings for hotmail) and hated to see this message (and a second one similar but about a folder who could not be found). I removed the icon on the home screen and put the Email app (not the widget to avoid the same problem in the future) back and not more error! I really did not want to reset my phone.

android.process.acore on CM 11 rooted FIRE phone

For months I have hardly problems with this android.process.acore has ended message in my cm11 rooted fire phone installed nano GAPPS (but even with other versions of GAPPS the Problem stayed the same). I have no idea what to do any more, flashed and backuped everything again and again, deleted and restored the contact-datas the way it is discussed in many forums. The problem disappears while disabeling the contact-storage, but this way I cannot use my Fire Phone for phoning from the contacs anymore much less using contacts in Whatsapp . The problem seems to come along with WhatsApp and Facebook and its Messenger, but once installed the problem android.process.acore does not disappear when uninstalling these programs. Anyone got an idea? Thanks a lot for your help!

That's strange, has there been any recent updates to your phone?, i don't know how long you've been on cm11 but amazon recently stopped supporting Facebook who also owns whatsapp. I know someone on stock whose messenger and whatsapp stopped working and the tech on mayday had to relay that to them. Idk if they stopped support through an update or some other means since I haven't been on stock for a very long time. My advice would be to take a logcat and post the issue in the cm11 thread if you can

<romario3600> Thanks for yor advice. I've been with CM 11 from the very beginning and I don't really remember when the problem started, might be like half a year before.. That's weird, for any reasons that android. access. accore disappeared now after uninstalling both facebook and its messenger. Didn't know that the support stopped and this might have caused it. I got a solution now with a third party facebook version by apache. It's working well until I found a solution for my problem.

I have still no idea...
Now the android.process.acore is happening again. I uninstalled all the apps (facevook and it's messenger) that caused the malfunction. Now I got another app called Immonet that claimed the same rights with synchronisation owitg contact data. I uninstalled this app with all data and even wiped the old folders. But the error promt does not disappear anymore I did not find anything all over the net anyone having the same problems that I do.. Anyone got an idea how to solve this one out? I'm so much disappointed,hardly thinking of buying another phone but I like this fire phone with CM11 a lot.

As a last resort if you have the time and effort to put in, id say revert to stock and do a factory reset the normal way using the fire phone's recovery. That should at least ensure that everything is wiped and back to default. After that try downloading and installing CM11 again, don't cut any corners where you might have to wonder if something went wrong. Once the systems boots properly try installing the play store as well as messenger and whatsapp and see how things go from there. avoid rooting the device until you are sure things work

I got another completely new fire phone, rooten CM11 now from the latest FireOS 4.6.1..1. and at the beginning everything worked fine up to now. Now I got the same android.process.accore message again on this completely different device. As this problems is not very common I got now the idea that it might have anything to do with the synchronisation of google contact and it's permission management with these programs that have the rights to read sync the contact storage. But no idea ehat it might be exactly. A while ago I deleted all my contacts on the Google server. Is it possible that the synchronisation got a problem now with my different devices that were once registered on the server with not always having the very same telephone directories? How to solve it if my venture is right?

I just solved this (I hope, so far so good) on my Sony Xperia Z2 tablet. I cleared data on any and every app that had anything to do with Contacts. I went right down the list in All Apps. If it used contacts, I cleared it. That meant Gmail and Hangouts, Messenger, etc.
Before I did this, I tried to write an email and litterally had the error with every single letter. Since I did this, I haven't seen it once. I wrote out an email address on a draft email and posted 2 posts (this will be the third) here. No error yet!
Not an expert. Just a user and fellow acore victim, sharing what worked for me. Though I have been in tech support for 17 years (just more of a Windows PC tech really).

I will check this out on the weekend when there's some time for me doing so. Will tell you if it worked.
