I've had the same problem intermittently. I usually have better luck after stopping the service and clearing the cache/data. It doesn't always work immediately, but it always seem to start working eventually.

I've been having this problem a lot lately too.
I just wait, and surf XDA forums to kill the time

Market Problems

Hi
I use Modaco 3.1 which has been stable on my Desire for a long time.
Suddenly, yesterday, Market stopped working (I am in UK). I can see market apps, I can purchase apps and I get notification of updates, but when I try to download, I get 'Starting Download' after which nothing happens. Is there a Market problem? If not, how do I start to troubleshoot this issue?
Thanks.
PS - happens on wireless LAN or mobile internet.
How long do you wait before giving up?
Even now, sometimes (at random) it'll take a good while before it starts to download on mine. Have you left it "attempting", for say, an hour?

You haven't recently updated your Gmail account from googlemail to gmail by any chance?
It happens to me sometimes... if it stucks, turn off your wifi on phone, and than turn it on, it will start downloading immediately
Thanks all
I have waited 30 mins. I have restarted phone until blue in the face. ALl other internet services are fine.
Think I'll have to reflash
Tried going to application settings, click on market and then clear the data.

As I said did you change your gmail account on the PC recently? This effects it and requires you to re-run the setup
Clearing market cache fixes this for me when it happens every now and then.

You might also like to check that you are signed in to GTalk (Talk application) as this is inextricably linked to Market.

I found when I had a low disk space warning that I had your exact symptoms.
I also couldn't get any push email from google.

I have tried clearing the market cache and i have not recently switched from gmail.

When you have low diskspace warning, it won't let you install anything and also not receive any e-mails, delete apps till the warning disappears and all should be fine (this is probably the main reason everyone is waiting for froyo)
Android Market problem
Hi,
I have rooted Desire running stock ROM 1.15.405.4. with app2sd. I have a problem with downloading apps and updates from the Market. The app starts to download and then it just hangs. I have no low memory warning. I have read in some forums that clearing cache in Settings>Applications>Manage Applications can help. But unfortunately whenever I try to start Manage Applications it is forced quit so I can't clear that Market cache.
Any suggestions please?
Also I'd like to upgrade to stock ROM 1.21 (rooted) with app2sd (without needing to re-install all my apps). Obviously it is not possible to upgrade via OTA. Any suggestions for this?
thanks for advice
I'm having market problems now too for the past day or two where it's stuck on "starting download...".
I'm running Modaco 3.1 as well with APPS2SD+ which was working fine!
1) My account was always Gmail so I haven't changed that.
2) I have signed into Talk fine and it all works including Gmail notifications working too
3) I have cleared the market cache
4) I let it attempt to download for over 12 hours - still didn't start.
5) Tried to reflash the ROM (without wipe) still nothing.
Any other suggestions or should I just total wipe and reinstall?

why would you do that? If it stucks, do this:
-turn wifi off
-turn wifi on
it will start immediately
this is definitely not working for me...

Done a restart ?
If it does not help: Because you are rooted, you should be able to delete the Android Market. You can get the AndroidMarket.apk from the net and reinstall it(Unknown Sources have to be checked). But before doing something fancy, you should do a BACKUP, with CWM or RZR.

Yeah several restarts. Just got an update, it appears the youtube app also gets stuck with the rotating circle...cant load the video. Cant help but assume these are related. And also I've tried this on both wifi and 3G, same.

This is strange indeed. If even the solution above doesn't help, I would recommend you to flash you ROM via ODIN. Usually it should replace the missing files, so this could work. Do a Backup as mentioned above.
BTW: But generally your internet works? (via Browser)

Yes my internet works fine. I actually cant do anything requiring a usb cable since I lost mine and wont be getting a new one till the weekend maybe. I actually tried some other things like clearing the cache partition in recovery (stock) and logging out of gTalk and relogging in which solved similar problems for people online. Just seems everything is fine...except the market cant connect and download stuff, and youtube cant connect and load videos...I feel its a google account problem surely but dont have a clue what to do. Thanks for your response all the same.
First......Ensure SD Card is properly seated, open phone and make sure of this!!!
Do these :
Settings/Applications/Manage
Applications/All/
Downloads/Clear Data.
Media Storage/Clear Data....

I cant quite explain what happened, but I fixed it. It had to do with a botched backup/uninstall of google books with TB. I tried to back it up but it seemed to just hang up. Then I killed TB in the Task Manager and restarted it. I realised a backup had been made for the older version(1.46) instead of the new version(1.52). Google Books showed up as a system app after my last FW upgrade and I updated it (through the market) but the update made the app unusable(FC everytime I start it). I ignored all that at the time since I didnt use it actually. Tried to remove it yesterday and I guess that set this whole mess in motion. Thanks to all

How exactly did you get market enabler to work/fix the issue? I installed, and it says that it works, but I can't get past the server issue at all. I've tried setting it to TMobile and VZW US, tried Canadian settings, and a few others ...
I'm on a VZW GNex, running a nightly of AOKP. The issue started literally out of nowhere in the afternoon yesterday. hadn't changed any settings or flashed a new rom. Just got out of work, and couldn't connect to the market all of a sudden. This did coincide with a Rom Manager gallery screw up though - fixed that luckily. Decided to re-flash my current ROM, but that hasn't helped either.
Almost wonder whether it's worth relocking, going back to stock, and exchanging the phone =/

I am part of andriod beta program and runnig build NPF10C (7.1.1).
I already tried clearing cache and restoring both google play store and service app to old version but still no sucess.
Thanks,

Similar issue here. You're not alone. Tried updating each app one at a time?
Auto-update got some issues that need to be fixed in the BETA build. Let's wait for it.

Yah .. tried but issue is still there ..
Have you made sure to clear app data and cache as well as force stopping the app? That works for me.
