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

Market apps downloads unsuccessful

Hi,is anyone else having problem downloading apps via Market?I've got an unbranded,unrooted Froyo Desire and downloads were fine yesterday but for some reason unknown,Google Market has refuse to complete downloads.Is this issue general?Cheers
Sent from my Archos5 using XDA App

It is driving me crazy all day as well! I got the impression that it was because I installed a new ROM or because I added an EXT partition in Clockworkmod recovery. This was the first time I wanted to try A2SD and it drove me crazy all day not being able to download apps anymore...
Not over Wifi, not over 3G...
And now I have to conclude more people are having this problem today haha
OMG

Yer its killing me,
I need to download My Backup Pro
Just flashed rom and cannot restore nothing.

Just noticed the same issue, was trying to update the YouTube app and download failed. Have tried a factory reset and this hasn't worked. There is a list of possible fixes on the Google support forum, just search for marketplace fix.
Seems odd that several people are having the same issue on the same day, perhaps its a marketplace fault?

Yeah the market is not working properly at the moment.

Alright so it's not just me going nuts...

same for me. been all night. driving me mad.

Someone from an android forum website suggested the following quote and guess what?,it worked! :-
"I know its going to sound daft, but load up Google talk, sign in, and then retry. I had a problem with my Hero back in the day and that worked. My downloads are going through fine atm"

Market working again
Had the same issue all day yesterday. The Market is working again this morning.

Had the same problem last night. It seems to be working fine today.

Working for me too this morning, tired the Google Talk tip along with many others re: clearing out various caches but none seemed to work. Obviously a fault with the market place than our actual phones.

So is this a common problem then, as I've just recently flashed my phone to 2.2 on the JPM firmware. I was beginning to think it was this, but after I thought about it, it happened to me this morning while I was still running 2.1.
How annoying!

hmm it diden't work yesterday for me but this morning it worked. but now it dosen't :S

I was having the same problem and tried the talk app logging in method which had worked previously in similar circumstances, but this time didn't work yesterday. Later I cleared the cache for the market app via the settings menu and it worked immediately, but was slower than usual.

my unrooted 2.2 desire will not update or download new apps from the market either.
i was thinking it was a memory issue.... had some issues on ota rom upgrade recently and i needed to uninstall 'Google earth' to get it to work despite phone showing ample memory free.
Also I have had the problem since downloading 'voice search' or this could be a coincidence.
So my phone or marketplace fault?
Is everyone else able to download/install again now?

[SOLVED] This is not a market / memory / phone issue
Guys,
I was having this exact same problem and after doing a bit of searching on the internet I found a solution:
It's something to do with internal phone cookies / tokens. The market depends on two sets of data - the market app and "download manager".
You can fix this problem easily in the future if you force close both, and then clear the cache and the data from both from settings -> applications -> manage apps
The reasons signing into google talk would have worked is that it updated the internal token
It seems the time out is very brief - but this is indeed the issue and its fixed every time using this method.
As far as I can tell there is a bug on Android developers already registered.

Sorry Mate ... doesen't fix the problem for me

make sure you force close the apps, market and download manager. then clear the data.
click on your market download list to rebuild it too. then it should work

I had same problem on my desire, and I looked the way to fix it. On phones memory was just 8% of free space, and I erased some apps. On the end I concluded that phone can't download or update anything if it has less than 10% free memory space. After I erased some apps and on that way make more free space on phones memory I was easy downloaded and updated apps from market. I must say that I have non rooted phone.
I hope so that I help with my thread.

[Q] Android market getting stuck on Loading screen when trying to update apps

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.

[Q] Play Store probs

I'm running 7.2RC1 and my gfs running Andy's stock and both of our play stores wont let us DL anything. Mine says error parsing package and hers says no connection actually while connected to wifi. I got the market working on mine but I forced closed, cleared data and uninstalled updates but it automatically "upgraded" after I launched the app. Is anyone else having play store probs?

Yeah I had some problems with my play store as well(it sucks after the updates). If it says no connection then you have to kill it with a task manager, and then open it again it fixes the problem. I have this problem both on my Acer Iconia A100 running ICS, and my Incredible 2 running Skyraider Zeus. For your other problem you have to clear data in Google framework services as well and then reboot.

I very occasionally get the "error parsing package" on select applications. The thing that is really bugging me about Play Store is no matter what Sense ROM I flash at some point the phone starts into an incessant loop of FC's from the "Market". For me its so bad I pretty much can't run a Sense ROM at all anymore. Personally I am using Condemned Soul's latest CM ROM on which I have zero Play Store issues. IMHO it sure seems when the the Market --> Play Store migartion took place, some things got seriously f'd up.

OK, this getting kind of ridiculous. There is only one ROM I can flash that I don't end up getting a bunch of Market FC's. And yes I have fixed permissions. What gives?

beats me broseph after a while my market (refuse to call it play store) started acting right again so I assume it was a problem on el googs part but if you're still having problems try wiping the app data

Clear data on market and google services framework

I've made a call to Google about it already.. I was having parsing errors and it was giving me a purchase cannot be processed error on everything including free apps they tried denying anything, told me to do a factory reset.. did all that, told them I'm rooted with different Roms and kernels and then all of the sudden one of the advanced tech guys sent me an email saying that it's been happening a lot since the play store change and they need a logcat.. it's intermittent for me and everytime it happens again, I'm nowhere near a pc for logcat

Did you try my suggestion?

Like factory resetting your entire phone is a reasonable fix for ONE APP gtfo try franks fix it worked for me still a little hit or miss. I had to uninstall all the updates to revert it back to like novembers market update but of course it upgraded on the next launch

Maybe you should read the suggestion again, because there was nothing about a factory reset. He was saying to go to
settings>>apps>>google play store>> clear data
and
settings>>apps>>google services framework>> clear data
For me on MIUI 2.3.23, the fix and su killall drmserver plus franks suggestion is not working.

Forgot to add in you have to restart after you clear data on both.
This has worked for me twice now and a ton of other people on XDA.

if you go into manage apps and remove updates to play store, it will work fine for that session, but when you close and go back it updates again, so remove updates again, i know its a pain in the butt but you can download stuff, just a suggestion, works for me

This is what I was referring to about factory resetting

For that error you need to clear the data in play store and then remove your google account from accounts and sync. After that open play store. I actually told google about this solution two Weeks ago.
