Market stuck on "downloading.."

Okay, this is slightly different from being stuck on 'starting download' My market will download just fine, up to 100% and just hang, it takes multiple cancels and restarts for it to actually INSTALL what i'm trying to install.
9/10 times it will stall on 100%, meaning the green bar will be filled up with progress, the amount downloaded will be equal to the file size, but it will never transition to "installing"
Also, my microSD card will have the download under the downloads folder, and depending on how many times i had to cancel and restart the download, it will have Download-1, download-2, download-3 etc etc filling up the folder.
Never happened on 2.1, but every FroYo ROM i've tried starts to get this behavior after a while. what gives?

Did you try to reinstall gapps? What version are you using?

I had the same problem had to go under Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>all> select market and clear data. you will have to when you go into the market next time you have to re agree to the market terms but that should fix the problem.

That was what mine was doing when I found out about the Talk bug, did you make sure that is logged in?

I will try. the last time I did I got in an endless loop of "an error has occured. try again later." pretty much forcing me to restore a nandroid backup.

I log in to g-talk all the time :-\

Same problem here on Fresh 3.2, though I have experienced this on other 2.2 roms as well. I usually have to do like the OP said and cancel the download and restart. This seems random for me though. Half the time it downloads normal. No idea why.

Home screen reboots after returning to it or pressing home button

Lately everytime I pressed the home button or returned to the home screen the home screen reboots with a "Loading..." box and no inputs are accepted except dragging down the notification bar. Any ideas? Memory issues?
I've tried uninstalling a few apps to free up some memory, but nothing seems to really work. Also checked if my task killer was "killing" the home screen in some way but didn't see anything wrong there.
Currently running LeeDroid 2.2f Desire GSM
Any help would be appreciated!

Ideas anyone??

Boot in safe mode and see if it happens again.
If it doesn't it's a third party process that is causing it.
If it does, you'll probably need to reflash, but first you may try to erase cache and data of the "htc sense" system process.

By "safe mode" do you mean recovery or bootloader or what is safe mode?
Tried clearing data on HTC Sense process but all it did was erase my home screens, still has to reload the sense UI everytime I exit a full screen app.
I guess I'll try to reflash sometime, maybe I'll give cyanogen a try.

To enter safe mode you need to power on your device while holding the menu button till the home screen shows up.

Are you rooted? Try clearing cache and dalvik cache? I used to have that problem and clearing the caches helped (I have sense moved on to other roms though)

Tried safe mode and cleared both caches no apparent difference.
Will try updating to Cyanogen and see if the problem is persistent. Will update with how this goes!

Let me know how this goes, I recently flashed LeeDroid 2.2f and started to experience the exact same problem.
Flashed to 2.3b yesterday, so far no homescreen problems but we'll see how it goes.

Just flashed most recent Cyanogen, S-OFF, custom MTD partition, Firerat's a2sd, with launcher pro plus and quickdesk.
No more homescreen reloads!
But I must say this is the best configuration I've used thus far! Love the Cyanogen features compared to the more simple LeeDroid feature list and I can configure launcher pro to work the same as Sense but better. also have a lot more space for apps as well.
For those who dont know what quickdesk is TRY IT. IT IS AWESOME. Works swimmingly with any homescreen launcher.

Hmm, might give it a try then!
Is that Cyanogen or DeFroST?#
Cheers.

Cyanogen. I don't see anything in the features list in DeFroST that Cyanogen doesn't already have.

[Q] LP randomly won't load widgets CM7

I have CM7 RC1.5, nightly 2 and my widgets will work for about a week, then randomly, with nothing else added or downloaded, Launcher Pro will randomly FC after i wake the phone and from there on out, the message "problem loading widget" appears where every widget was, and i have to re-add my widgets...
Anyone else have this happening, or have a fix for it?
Thank you.

Try fix permissions in rom manager and also reboot to recovery and wipe the dalvik cache and you should be good to go. I had this issue a while ago and those steps fixed it for me.

Give the phone plenty of time after a reboot. LP will force close if a lot of other programs are trying to start up. That fixed my problems with LP.

that worked thank you, but wondering why it randomly does this?

LP would FC and mess the widgets up while the phone had already been on half the day, not after a reboot

Very slow??

Hi guys,
I've been using Cyanogenmod 7, and it was going very slow. I decided to completely wipe the phone and SD card and start from scratch with Andromadus Mimicry ROM. It is much faster I find but I still get the random slowdowns.
My biggest problems seem to be with the Facebook app, it slows down the phone incredibly. even when you exit the app, unless you force close it, the whole phone goes to a crawl.
I also find even if I uninstall the facebook app, I get lots of random slowdowns, like random times during the day I'll go to read my SMS and it takes FOREVER to load (go sms app)
any ideas?

Are your partitions ext4? Did you debug and follow the steps in the Mimicry OP?
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium

4EXT is paid software eh? don't really want to pay for it if I can avoid it, any other way of checking??
Wheres the debug steps?

4ext is a free custom recovery, there is an app similar to rom manager that is a paid app. if you don't want to support the developer for whatever reason your choice, but you can still flash the 4ext recoverey via fastboot or a pc10img
can you get a logcat? if your slowdowns are easily duplicated then plug phone into computer, and run a logcat through adb when you are experiancing this
*facebook apps is terrible* (so is facebook)
study the op of mimcry, search the threads for similar problems.
just an fyi - mimcry is one of the best ics roms for the vision and if you are having strange slowdowns then either a bug needs to be reported or you did something wrong
(didn't fully wipe, still in ext3, etc)
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium

thanks man, I tried android market and can only find a paid app called 4ext. I use clockworkmod recovery as thats what cyanogenmod 7 recommended, I have not activley done anything to setup ext4 though as there was nothing in mimcry instructions for this.
i cant easily duplicate the issue as it happens totally at random.
i fully wiped and reset to factory defaults before installing mimcry also

go into tsubus' ilwt cm7 thread, there you will find a link to superwipeg2+ext4, this will wipe all and change format of everything but sd card to ext4
don't check the market for custom recoveries, you go there for apps, look for the 4ext thread in the dev section or just google it
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium

okay thanks for your help! i got 4ext installed and checked info, so my system partition is ext4, data and cache are ext3... sd card is fat32
so I need to wipe and redo it with ext4 for all of them?

all but sd card should be ext4
sd card should be fat32
sdext (if you have it) should be ext4
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium

you're great help thanks heaps.
so now I've got 4ext and i ran superwipeg2+ext4, then reinstalled my mimcry rom, just reinstalling all my apps i want now, will see how it goes
checked info and everything is now ext4 apart from sd card which is fat32. hope this makes a good difference!

damnit, no improovement still slow as fawk, just started up endomondo and signed in, now have a black screen and a crashed phone for the last 5 mins... oh wait now it loaded... grr

Please read the FAQ in the Mimicry OP. You need to find the apps causing the slowdowns and either uninstall them or wipe their data if you're restoring app data from Titanium backup.

I am having a very hard time finding which apps are causing this, and none were restored, all were installed totally fresh from market after fresh install of the ROM.
I've read everything in the FAQ and can't seem to find any answer

Install watchdog, or view wakelock use with betterbatterystats. Better yet, use logcat and grab a log of the slowdowns as they happen.
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium

Thanks, I am happy to get a log using logcat, do you have some basic instructions for me to do this? I already have android SDK installed, is it a matter of just running adb logcat and waiting or?

Yep, though I would use Watchdog first to see if it alerts on any high cpu processes.
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium

Sounds good man, just installed watchdog and will see how it goes thanks for your advice

strangely enough watchdog has not found a single problem yet even though my phone keeps slowing down every now and then, seems to be slightly less frequent now after all the apps have settled in I guess? still certainly doing it though
also one other issue I found is a program I use called AirDroid stops working properly through its web interface if the phone locks, which I didnt have this problem on CM7

Mind if i but in, but this problem is discussed and handled well in the AOKP nik3rs rom EliteMod & EliteKernel ICS* (which I highley recommend!)
But Its seems one of the problems that can cause this is bcuz you some people still have there apps backed up from there GB rom with their account and switching to ICS rom will only install the GB forms of the app from the market its highley recommended to backup data from apps in Titanum, and Install all new apps to your account and then restore data from Titanium.
Also I have alsot noticed that in 4ext sometimes Superwipe isn't always the answer Try Using the "Format All (except SDCARD)" option in 4ext it seems to clear away alot more bugs then superwipe! hope that helps..
Also try elitemods dataswap and sdext patch if you stay on mimicry!

Thanks man might have to give that ROM a try. And once again I fully wiped and loaded the ROM and I installed each application freshly from the google play store. nothing was backed up or restored so thats not the problem

Maybe I should have been more clear in my last post, Are you using SD-EXT? or data swap? and The way I have to flash is sometimes is after dalvike/cache ofcourse
1- Factory/data reset
2.-Then apply the zip superwipe (let it reboot)
3.-Then apply the FORMAT ALL EXCEPT SDCARD option in 4ext
....and just to note you are mounting everything before you wipe right?
Hope this can help.
And if not I would again highly recommend the EliteMod Rom its the best!!
