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:
Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> All ->
Market -> Stop and clear data
Download manager -> stop and clear data.
Boom! Working!

Thanks!
It worked!
Google has a tummy ache.
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.
Hello,
Hope to get some help on this. I've got an Inc rooted with CM7 build # 29. Using the built in tethering with windows 7, I get a lot of strange behavior. Everything shows like it's connected, but some web pages fail to load, or if i'm downloading a large file it quits a fraction of the way into the download. If i refresh a few times it may start again like nothing and actually quite fast. But this only seems to work in short bursts and then quits again.
I've searched all over the forums only to find solutions pointing to PDA net or some other app. I feel this is not a proper fix though since the native tethering is supposed to be better and everybody says with root you do not need a paid app for accesing secure sites.
Maybe the fix is buried somewere in the older threads and someone can point me out to it. Anyways any help is appreciated and thanks all ahead of time.

Hey,
I've been experiencing this issue as well, except I had it tethered to my iPad. It said I didn't have an Internet connection when I loaded up a page in Safari. Perhaps it's because I've installed a different kernel? I cannot seem to find the cause of this issue.

Haven't tried tethering on CM7, but I had the same problem on the rooted stock rom with wifi-tether app.
Try "wireless tether for root users" from the market or google it. It works well for me most of the time.
The last it happened it turned out to be issue with the Market itself, but now no one is taking about it and I have not been able to get any updates or download anything from the Market for days.
I've tried every suggestion I came across to no avail; clearing cache, data in any app that seems to have anything to do with downloading from the Market, logging in/out/in to GTalk, downgrading the Market app to stock. Nothing works, and it all started happening out of the blue; no problem one day, and the next day the Market doesn't work no matter what.
I don't remember making any changes to the phone, it's been setup a while ago and running to my satisfaction, except for one thing; some days before the Market stopped working I started noticing that my battery wasn't holding up as well as it used to, but I don't know it this has anything to do with the matter at hand. I'm on a rooted 2.2.1 (mistakenly) released by US TMo with a Go Launcher EX.
So, is it me and my phone, or something outside of my doing. I would hate to do a factory reset, so would anyone have a better plan of action.
Thanks

I don't know how to say in English. In Chinese, in the settings that have a setting call 資料節省模式.If you tick it, you can't download anything in market.

I've the same issue.
It comes out on wifi only.

In the American ROM there are three settings in the Data Manager under Data Delivery; Background Data, Data Roaming, and Data Enabled. I guess the closest would be the last one and it pertains to having data enabled over mobile network. All but the roaming were enabled.
@scrannel: It was happening in both, mobile and WiFi.
Thanks guys, frustrated, I ended up doing a factory reset and restore after all. Now my battery use is back to normal (i.e. excellent) too.
Drat, things (software settings) are fragile; falling apart under normal use.
I am experiencing the same problem. Tried a lot of methods like clearing cache and all but nothing worked.
Everytime I start a download it says 'downloading' for a few seconds and then says 'download paused' and remains there.
This issue is on wifi only, and happened out of the blue yesterday. On my 3g data connection the apps download just fine.
What can I do?
I am having the same problem with downloads from the market, but only on 3g. Everything is fine on WiFi. 99/100 times, an App will take forever to download on 3g, pausing 5-10x during the process. This has been going on since Friday I believe. I have switch roms, complete data wipe, formatted my memory card, deleted .android-secure on teh SD card, nothing helps.
I don't know if its the 3g network or what, but it's really starting to aggravate me
Settings -> Data manager -> Data Saver -> untick "Enable Data Saver" should do the trick
Data Saver off wouldn't help those of us who got "WiFi-exclusive" Market stucks.
Worse yet, sometimes at certain WiFi networks (for example those they give at Starbucks) it works just fine, stuff downloads in huge chunk (from waiting list). Then on other WiFi it wouldn't work.
I even tried it at home WiFi spot with all firewall offline, and still no cigars - "paused".
My market suddenly started working again, but now after a few days it says 'downloads paused' again..
What is happening!

i had the same problem with my stock 2.2.1 defy (but in my case the market got stuck on the old version and wouldnt even update itself). the only thing that helped was doing a factory reset from recovery, and now everything works fine. but afaik there's an app backup option (only in 2.2), so if you do a factory reset you can have most of your apps installed in a minute from backup. good luck!
downloading
Even i am having the same problem when ever it paused like that i will open android market and it will download automatically again try to do like that.

im still on android 2.1 no update yet
i have same problem since i downgrade from CM7 to Official froyo any solution ?
Hey, I recently updated to Android Revolution HD 6.1 and since that update the new market app is getting stuck on a loading screen whenever I try to update some apps, others work fine so I was just wondering if anyone else is having this issue with the new market app or the market in general?
I too seem to be having issues with the market, some times it works sometimes it does not want to play ball. . . .
I'm also having this issue on Android Revolution HD 6.1. It is only present in a few apps though, and appears to be at random. I can usually fix it with a restart . Never thought much of it, always presumed it was because of my dodgy internet!
Glad to know it's not just me, I still haven't managed to update Google+, and I've noticed you are more likely to have the hangup when a app requires a manual update as it seems to be the modified permissions page that doesn't load.
it can be fixed if more than 1 apps are ready to update...
in such case go for update all.............
if it comes to 1 app......reboot............
It's not just ARHD, guys. I'm having the same issue with a CM7-based ROM.
Ok so is it the market in general then, at least I finally got the new G+ installed after a couple of reboots, annoying but it is a solution for now.
HTC Desire, CM7 and same problem here after market updated itself automatically yesterday
I've used appbrain as a workaround
So does mine also... but it happens even when I am ready to download an app!?
I'm having the same problem on a rooted Galaxy S2 running stock (ish) ROM.
It's the market. I don't know why but it just isn't running as it should be. Perhaps it could be a problem in general because of rooted phones, and the websites inability to link it to your account (I've had this happen with a couple of roms)
Mostly though it depends on which time of day you try. Sometimes it flies, but for the most part it is sluggish.

go into the talk app if your signed in then sign out and back in.
Same problem here. Using CM7, when I click on the market and attempt to download the apps that I purchased, I get stuck at the the loading screen. It will sit there stating that it's loading. It doesn't do this with all apps, but at this time, one of the apps having this problem is XDA.
I did notice that you can get the app to load if you go through market.android.com and "push" the app to your device.
This is ridiculous and wondering if there is any word of what the problem can be.
I have a similar problem too, searching about it seems its something to do with googlemail changing to gmail in uk but I can't quite find a resolution?
Go :
Menu>Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>All
Find Market and select Force Stop and then Clear Cache.
Usually fixes most Market problems.
It does work but I found I had to forcestop and clear data again after a few minutes?
It's the new Android Market. It has nothing to do with rooted phone, or CM7, or anything else. I use a Samsung Galaxy S 2, ROM directly upgraded from Samsung to Android 2.3.5 using Samsung Kies. I get the same problems:
(1) Often when updating an app individually, it gets stuck on "Loading..." forever. "Update All" button is a workaround, but can't do that for apps that require a manual update.
(2) Sometimes when I launch the Market, it shows a small partial list of my installed apps. Shows only about 6-7 of them only. Nothing to update. I need to go to "Menu > Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > All > Market > Clear Data". Have needed to repeat these steps probably once each day for the past week.
Damn annoying. Is there a proper way to let Google know about it?
Although I think I did notice that sometimes trying again the next day would work. i.e. it would update an app I couldn't manually update the day before.

remove market with titanium backup then Just install this market update
I'm trying to get at&t hot spots to work on a custom rom and the apk that I have I'm not sure if it is the right one I should be doing. Anyone able to put the apk on dropbox or something.
Justice bump. I asked this question a little while ago and never got a good answer. Out of curiousity what APK is it that you've got? I know digging through the processes it is listed as running in my phone. Replicating this would be great for ROMs, especially since I'm working part time at Starbucks....

This is what I tried using...
https://www.dropbox.com/s/fc68tce5vdvyayk/att_hotspots.apk
It shows up as a running app but it doesn't do anything. I'm going to check my bosses phone (S4) tomorrow to see how the app opens when I open it on his phone. On my phone, the app keeps saying there is an update when I select it but it never updates.
I agree that it would be great to get this working. A colleague mentioned that he was able to by both installing the apk and copying the apk to \system\app (for auto running). So far no luck on my end
This is different than the one that I had tried and looks to be the right one. I downloaded it to my SD card and went to install and got a message saying it was already installed as a system app (makes sense for stock). Have you tried doing it from there to keep functionality of it when flashing ROMs? I would say this is the right track alright.
Is your custom rom AOSP-based? Because I think I remember reading that the functionality of "AT&T hot spots" is built into the framework for touchwiz roms.
It is. I havent been able to find confirmation either way. Just that the hot spots app is what makes the connection.

First things first you have to make sure your kernel supports wifi tethering, without this you are wasting your time. In all my time on android as long as tethering is enabled in the kernel its just a matter of turning on the hotspot from within the settings menu. I don't recall the touchwiz menus to tell you exactly where the tethering option is but in aosp based roms its under the 'more' option in the wireless and networks section. This is also where you can set the ssid, security encryption, etc for the wireless network you are broadcasting.
Hi. It's not wifi tethering that I'm after. I want to use the AT&T wifi service that my office building gets since my cell signal is terrible at work. It's the only thing I miss from the Samsung ROM
OK so I flashed a ROM and tried installing the apk you were using and it seems to have made a small difference. I'm automatically connected without signing in to Starbucks AT&T WiFi (the way I would usually have to without the app) after having saved the network. Strange thing is looking at the app itself seems to suggest its not running. Running Apps shows 0.00kb in data. I'm not sure if its then a function of the ROM (which I doubt, its never done this before) or the app.
