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
Anyone else getting this or just me.
When i tried today to update one of my apps, i hit update and it brings the download progress bar with starting download written underneath and the arrow appears in the notifications bar, but it just stays at starting download? And once i leave the market the download notification disapears from the notification bar, i go back into my downloads section in the market and its still there stuck at starting download?
Ive tried restarting my phone, canceling and restarting the download, downloading a totallly new app, nothing seems to download, ive tried over wifi and 3g?
Help.

I think it's the same for everyone, maybe they are preparing the market for Gingerbread.
I did have issues, but it seems to be working again now.

I'm still experiencing this problem. It tries to download and then says "Download unsuccessful".
I've tried clearing the Market cache. Tried on 3G and wifi. Tried CM6, deFROST and MCR9 ROMs.
It's been occurring for nearly 48 hours.
The Market forum shows lots of people experiencing the same issue. I guess it's best just to wait for Google to fix it. (I didn't notice the forum until AFTER I'd changed ROM's and done all my diagnostics! GRR!)
Yeah, its fixed now

Lol, you're crazy for flipping out and start flashing roms like that.
It's still not working for me either.
Yeah I seem to be having problems with it again too.
Was working for me earlier.

This worked for me:

UPDATE:
Sorry to report, it did fix itself, but now it's not working again and this time, the above trick doesn't work!
@Testies199. Many thanks. Worked for me. What would we do without XDA and, of course, the members. Interesting name by the way.

Thanx. For me it is working but extremely slow
Update: stopped again
Try Stop, Clear cache AND unistall Update
Afterwords the market will clear everything and update again.
Worked for me
There are a whole load of fixes out, all regarding Market cache and Download manager cache and uninstalling market updates, i have tryed them all and none of them work however it did work an hour or two ago while i was at work.
Tryed to Download via 3G and Wifi to no avail
Seems to be a Serverside error not a phone error !
EDIT : Its intermittently working here via wifi - i geuss the UK servers are a bit hit and miss ATM
Force stopping market and download manager worked for me too!
But not sure when It will stop again!
Edit, it has stopped working literally 5 seconds later!
Just wait. Usually you can fix stuck or pending market downloads (and cloud-to-device message like chrome-to-phone) by killing "Google-Services Framework" and thus killing your connection to the Google Talk servers (that's how the market works). No need to kill the market itself, it's just a plain user interface. Then sign back into Google Talk by starting the app.
However the current issue seems to be a server-side problem. Give it some time instead. It might be some Gingerbread goodness being rolled out, it might be yet another glitch in the market.
First it was ilomilo, now Flixster. An update shows available, appears to download fine, then it just seems to abort and nothing happens. The app then continues to show update available. And if I retry the status goes from Pending to Installing, but the progress bar never moves and the app never updates.
Tried everything short of a factory reset, and the only solution seems to be to uninstall the app completely and reinstall.
Is there another fix? Some apps have still updated fine.

i have had the problem for a while now.... theres some games as well
When it happens to me, and it has happened about 3 times now, I delete the app and then reinstall it.

This bug happened when a developer update the app, and change the name of this app. For example, surfcube browser is update to 1.2 and the developerschange the name of the app in surfcube 3d browser.
i have the same bug!!

I have only noticed this will trial versions of apps. If you have a trial app, then you have to uninstall and re-download to update it. As for ilomilo and some other games, you have to use Wi-Fi to download the game. There is a file size limit(don't know what it is) but that was the only way I could get Harvest, Earth Worm Jim, and the Ilomilo update from my phone.
Try deleting the market cache. That's resolved that issues for me on the few occasions it has popped up.

Yeah, I have only noticed this when using trial apps as well so I think that's the problem. Maybe its Microsoft's idea of making you want to buy the app as the trial version update procedure is annoying lol

It's happened with free apps also.
Being unable to update to update trial apps is quite a well documented bug with the marketplace and is going to be fixed
this issue can be solved by uninstalling and re-installing the app.

Hello guys,
A friend has just got herself a lovely OneX, and tonight she showed me that Ebay was installed, we could run it from Google Play, but it is not visible anywhere in the app drawer, not ALL and not Downloaded...
I went to app settings, cleared cache, settings, uninstalled, reinstalled, and it is still invisible!
Any ideas?
She is on O2 UK.
Thanks,

Did you try going to settings, apps, find the app and click on it and make sure it isn't disabled.

Hi westwood, she has gone home now, but i did go to settings apps and reset everything before uninstalling and reinstalling... so i would assume it was not disabled, she has never been to the app settings, so she wouldnt have disabled it and im sure it would not be disabled by default.
any other ideas?

when you open the app right after downloading from the play store, do you select for the uk?
i'm on stock in the us on an international one x and just downloaded without difficulty, but when i first opened the app, it did ask for the usual end user agreement and pointed to making a choice of location. very odd if it works on some units and not on others.
hi, yes we did use UK, and she managed to log in using the Open button in Play Store... but she doesnt want to have to go to play store every time to run the app!
Very odd.
She may take the phone back to the o2 shop and ask them whats going on. (the advantage of NOT rooting

I doubt they will have more of a clue at the store than people here on XDA :/

I'm experiencing a very annoying what seems common problem.
Where HTC locations loads itself automatically at random intervals.
I have looked all over the site for a fix but unable to find it.
Tried deleting the navigation folder from .data. cleaning usb socket. Resetting phone. Clearing all caches etc
I have also installed an app called "skip HTC locations" but hasn't and isn't doing a thing. Also notice its happening more and more when pluggging in my charger
But its still happening. And assistance is greatly appreciated

You tried to uninstall it?
Can be uninstalled from /System/App, Remember to do a backup before removing anything.

Its not a rooted phone so unable to uninstall i think ?
in applications i have both "locations" and "locations launcher"
only thing i can do is clear cache which i have done and on "locations" i can "uninstall updates" which i have also tried and problem is still there,
Just that when i have removed the updates, it still automatically starts up "htc locations" randomly and then asks me to download files.
Hmm yea It's not much to do when you are not rooted I think. =\

The locations app has now stopped launching. But when I make a call loudspeaker is automatically activated at the start of the call so seems like usb socket is shorting somewhere thinking its in dock mode still?
Yes that could be the problem =\

Same problem here, did you manage to fix it?
I had the same problem yesterday. I really went mad! It started locations like 5-6 times and wanted to download some update and maps, I just couldn't get rid of it! Then I downloaded something and it prompted me to download (actualy purchase) individual maps and I rejected and then all of a sudden it stopped. The phone was NOT in the charger. No new popups since.

Still doing it to me, whether in charger or out. Posted a thread about it which is down the page but no replies!!!
I have found a "fix" for the issue.
I could not root my phone for some reason, so normal uninstall of locations wasn't an option for me.
I cannot exactly tell the steps I have done, cause I tried several things at a time and I don't know which one worked, but the main thing was:
- I made a factory reset, which did not change much appart from that I could plug in the phone to PC and see it as a drive.
- I removed some files related to locations from SD card
- In one of the menus related to application managment I had an option to reinstall locations
- I clicked on it
- AND I removed the battery in the middle of installation
- After turning on "Locations" were asking about making an install once again, but I chose an option "go to hell" and voila, no more hate against your own phone.
FIX by destruction
