Market not working (download won't start) new Evo

Ok,
(Before those that have nothing to do start shouting, I have searched! I spend hours last night looking and time this morning looking. This error is NOT related to a googlemail/gmail switch..it is NOT related to internet connection..it is NOT related to some obscure cache issue [i think]. So now that caveate is out of the way....)
I cannot download anything from the Market. Here is the process as I see it...
- Open Market app from phone
- Find app I want and click download
- Go back to main Market screen and click download tab
- App sits there with a 'starting download process'
Now...if the error is somewhere there...can someone please tell me.
But...a few minutes later I get this...
- Alert noise goes off
- Alert says Google Talk authentication failed
- Go and stop the app in the running apps screen
- Find GTalk app on phone and start it up
- It hangs up on the Talk bubble screen with Signing in swirly thing just going round
- Eventually that alert noise goes off again
So...there seems to have been an issue many months back when UK customers switched from googlemail domains to gmail domains. But I have never had either. I am registered with google and I have one of my personal emails set up on that account. I can log into google, I can use Picasa, I can use the forums, etc.
Now, I already have three different email accounts to keep track of...do not need a fourth. But in a fit of desperation I tried to set up a gmail account last night. After 30 minutes of trying to find a user name I gave up. I do not want to be D.sablesurfer.432456 or whatever stupid azz suggestion it gives.
So...things I am wondering...
Is Google Talk integrated with Market somehow?
Can you just use Market with a regular Google log in?
How do I make google talk work since there appears to be no where on phone to change any settings?
Where is google talk looking on my phone for log in information?
Does this have anything to do with the weird sprint email address that seems to be registered to my phone? (Current username = [email protected]) (Obviously where my name would be my real name.)
Please help, the internet has been wholey useless in showing me an answer to this issue.

Oh...and if I log into google web page from phone...and choose Talk from the more menu...
....I am logged into Talk!!!
Yep, it just pulls right up with no complaints.

Ok, lots of looks no feedback.
I stopped by Sprint today and they say basically that my really old Google log in will not work. They said will need to set up an actual GMail account and replace it on the phone.
HOWEVER....there is NO way to replace it without the factory reset. Seriously? Has the Evo or HTC...or Sprint locked this thing down so much that you can never change accounts?
I changed password online...and the incorrect password screen ONLY lets me change password. The account name is greyed out.
I went into Manage Applications and the only button active is the Force Stop. The Clear Data button doesn't even exist. And after the force stop it still does not exist.
How does this make any sense? Really? People are NEVER going to change accounts? Sounds way too strict to me at moment.
So basically...unless anyone else has an idea...on the Evo (not heros or g1's)...I will have to do the factory reset tonight? This sucks.

Have you tried settings, accounts and sync, click on the google account and hit remove account?

Yup, no go. The default in the Evo seems to be permanently locked in. Well until you do the factory reset. I just posted my findings/tip over on general. This is a pisser for a newbie to android and as a LONG time programmer sucks to be locked in like that.

My market was useless earlier.
the name###@sprintpcs.com is just sprints username for you, it's used for network stuff

I'm having the same issue. tired the google search too ... wish I didn't have to do a hard reset... I hope somebody come up with a fix for this
EDIT:
Here's all that I did. I'm not sure which part fixed the issue.
*I un-synced Gmail (still didn't work)
*I deleted the pop Gmail account I had set up (still didn't work)
*I went into the market, canceled everything that was pending a download, then I re-synced Gmail, and set my pop Gmail account back up and BAM!!!! It worked. (Oh and I restarted after I did all of this)
Hope this helps...

Same problem here, hope someone with great idea can help. I am also struck on my HTC evo

Market still won't downlaod
I'm on JI6,
i have this problem that i cannot get the Market to download.
I didn't see and end to this story, only that it could be a Market problem.
But still i have this issue now for 3 days, i did most of the things in this thread.
nothing works ...
HELP

This happens to everyone.
Go to applications.
Click all applications.
Find market. Click market.
Click, clear cache, and clear data.
Restart.

I'm over that, clear the data of download manager ,and from the Market application, removed the update from the market , wifi on , wifi off .....
Still wont download

Then it's your internet if that does not work.
Check your firewall

what firewall , if i work in 3G ?

I'm having the same problem...I just flashed Myn's 2.2 RL3 and it is no different than it ever was. It's pissing me off. I've tried every solution that I could find.

I was having a similar issue with my Evo running OMJ's 4.5.
On the market.android.com site I would click install, select my phone, and it said my install would start shortly, but it never did. I scoured the net and found a fix that worked for me. Try this:
Menu -> Settings -> Appplicaltions -> Manage Applications
Select the 'All' tab
Scroll down and open 'Google Services Framework' -> Clear Data and Force Stop
Hit back and open 'Market' -> Clear Data, Clear Cache (if available), and Force Stop
Reboot
Open Market. You are going to get an error, be patient and let it sit for a moment and it will come up by itself.
You should be golden after this. Let me know how it works for you.

Why must people resurrect dead threads, do they lack the ability to read, the last post to this thread was in the first week of november, if this was still happening, this would be an active thread.

[Q] Android market problems?

Is anyone aware of or experiencing any problems with the android market?
I'm using a Stock UK Orange ROM. 25mb free internal space. Using Android market I can go through all the motions and tap install I get the message saying my item will be downloaded. The "downloading" bar appears and is animated, This happened last night. This morning the item had downloaded.
I thought that was the end of it but as I write this I've been waiting an hour for a clock widget to download.
Have also tried via appbrain but experience the same problem.
I can watch youtube videos and browse so I am online. Is there a hidden setting I might have misconfigured? or anyone else experiencing the same thing?

Since you have 25MB free, that is peculiar. Typically downloads get stuck in queue when space is low -- in which case you are getting a notification in the Notification Bar that you are "Getting Low on Empty Storage Space". In those cases remedy of course is to uninstall a few apps you rarely use. After you do that, the "Low on Storage Space" icon will clear, and the instant that it does, all of the downloads you had started -- but were all stuck in queue -- will now proceed -- instantly.
But in your case i don't know. Are you for certain NOT getting that icon notification? (just checking that's all)... Then this probably won't solve your case at all. THIS POST: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7663366&postcount=17

No worries.
The only thing in my notification bar is the icon for advanced task killer, and 1 Gmail notification.
I've uninstalled a couple more apps but that still hasn't forced a download. This has only happened in the past couple of days and it crossed my mind that google might have been tinkering, but i've read nothing of the sort.
Just been to the shop and back and in those 5 mins Tajam (the clock widget from my OP) has downloaded... I've just added a pinball game, but it hasn't downloaded...

Is it at all possible that an application has reserved space? As in I might have 25mb free but some app has reserved some of the free space on my handset?

Nobody else had this issue then?
Any thoughts on a solution? would a hard reset solve this?

Try to:
- start your google-talk-app
- use the menu-button to open the menu and sign-out!
- restart the google-talk-app
- use the menu-button to open the menu and sign-out!
usually, after the 2nd or third time you do that, the download-process begins...
edit: you should notice that the log-in-process of the google-talk-app takes some time, seeing the spinning wheel-symbol on the top-right... just ignore it, start the app, wait 5 seconds and sign-out, repeat...

Thanks for the reply but I dont have google talk installed.
I'm thinking a hard reset might be my only option but it's a pain, and now difficult to download any backup software.
Found this thread http://www.google.tm/support/forum/p/Android+Market/thread?tid=57b5e3efa7477b50&hl=en
Started by a google employee, subsequently locked. Seems to be a recurring problem

I've the same issue, cancel/abort the download and start it again fixes the issue
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

Hey,
I suffered from the same issue...
I literally tried every in the book but to no avail!
Eventually I had to add a file manager into a rom in order to manually download the apps from the internet and then install them onto my desire!
This is a repeat issue with the Android OS. It does go away after a while... Give it a day or two and it'll just literally stop with the issues.
Good luck friend

I had this issue last week and tried every trick I could to get things working again, even a hard/factory reset didn't work. From reviewing the thread you quoted from the Google support forums I got the impression that it was a Google account problem of some sort so before doing a second factory reset I changed from @googlemail to @gmail and for whatever reason after the hard reset this has done the trick.

Yes, I am having the same problem too and only started couple days ago... I can't download anything at the moment

Still no market downloads
After the froyo update for me, there's still no way
to update or download apps from the market.
I tried all the options now known:
Gtalk
Cache clearing
Factory reset
Etc.
What to do next???

I checked a few places and this seems to be a common problem. One thread on the market forums was started by a google employee, 400+ replies later the thread was marked as answered (which it clearly wasnt) Now the forums are becoming littered with posts on this same problem.
I've managed to sort it out. Settings>apps>market>clear cache>force close market>soft reset seemed to force any pending downloads.
But that wasnt really a solution, so had to export contacts to gmail. Change my googlemail account to a gmail account (as prompted when you login to Gmail in the UK.... then I had to perform a hard reset and make my Gmail account the primary google account on my handset.
Very annoying, and I'm in disbelief that google are SO aware of this and dont seem to be offering any help.
But for the time being it's working again. The suggestion on the market help forums is that the UK market is having problems with @googlemail accounts.

Well i never had the googlemail adress and i'm not from the UK, so there's more to
it then only that specific problem....

Pls advice....
None of the great developers here has an idea what's happening here or maybe a solution to this issue????

Pls help out guys?
Guys please advice, i'm just a bit desperate with this issue.
Nothing seems te help and google stays as silent that i lost faith they are going
to fix this....
Does this mean my DESIRE became useless??!??!?!

It's a bit temperamental to be honest, I left it at 'Starting Download' and sometimes it would start after a few hours and another time after about a day. Never used to be like this before. Google need to seriously take a look at this problem.

Sadly my downloads all just end in "failed" within 5 secs....

Had Problems downloading for a month
Hi All,
I have had this problem for about a month now. Never starts to download for me except if I do a factory reset then it downloads some apps between 3 and 22 apps before it hangs again. The phone is a Samsung Galaxy s I9000. Unlocked. I tried different SIM cards from different carriers and removing the SD memory. I can download from different places on the web like Samsung or one of the web sites that have the apps just not the market.
Has anyone else been having this problem for that long?
Regards

Same here. I usually leave the downloads "hanging" around. After 10 min. to a few hours, the downloads start.
Same with "Chrome to phone". Both apps use the GTalk service to send commands to the phone. Google broke something.

GTalk and push notifications stopped working, help?

Alright, I have a truly annoying problem with Galaxy Nexus. After every month or two of use my phone loses completely the ability to connect to gTalk and push cloud to device messages. I'm not using any strange apps either and have not installed anything for a while.
My connection bars become grey and before someone suggests that this is an account issue and that 'I have lost connection to Google servers' then no: bars are only grey on Galaxy Nexus when gTalk and C2DM fail. Bars are grey but I can still access Market and Gmail and my phone still syncs Calendar and Contacts.
The only solution so far has been to completely reset the phone. Which is an epic annoyance. I've tried re-adding Google account and no success there either.
What can I do without having to reset my phone again?

So there is no solution whatsoever? It is impossible to fix this without having to reset the phone?
I ended up resetting the phone again and it is truly annoying, since this problem happens only after a month or two and nothing triggers it and the connection does not return even though sync with Google accounts works perfectly.
Might the problem be that I change my SIM card whenever I visit Finland and Google has some unknown security flag that blocks C2DM when same device is using different SIM's frequently?
Because this is insane and I feel like I can't do anything about it.

Don't have your problem, bars turn grey here every now and then but always go back to blue after a few seconds.
Two SIMs might certainly confuse the syncing. Go to Google Dashboard and make sure your phone is listed there. Only the IMEI is listed in Dashboard, though. In the Market it also lists your provider and number, I think.
Obviously you have checked all your accounts&syncing options in the ICS settings?
Rebooting and switching to airplane mode oder WiFi and back does not work either?

Nope. It's happened three times now since I've owned the phone and I've not installed anything fishy, nor do I run any monitoring and task manager or battery saving apps. I basically run all Google services, as well as Twitter, Facebook and some games. I haven't recently installed anything new.
Airplane mode did not work, WiFi or Data modes had the same issue and reboots made no difference either. Internet itself works, auto sync keeps working and Calendar, Gmail and Android Market work exactly as expected. But gTalk and push notifications stop working and do not return even in 24 hours.
The only thing that I do know that I do differently from an average user is that I switch SIM card either for every weekend or every other weekend when visiting my girlfriend in Finland, since I'm using a pre-paid SIM there (that also has data connection).
I don't have any sync or push notifications problems when using either SIM and both have an unlimited data plan. But after about 1-1.5 month suddenly gTalk and push notifications stop working entirely.
As a result I am keen to think that this must be about the SIM card switching (it happened after SIM card switch or close to it), but I don't know how to fix this. Phone reset does work, so it is certainly something that has not got anything to do with my Google Account.
I even tried clearing data and force stopping all Google-related services and apps and rebooted then. It asked for my account information and whatnot again, but the connection stayed grey while other Google account related services were running without issues.
It's a serious pain to reset my phone every month or two.
I am convinced that this is a bug in Android and reported it here.

"Okay google, Navigate home" is no longer working for me.

I use this feature all the time but after i clean wiped my phone now it either pulls up 3 businesses with home in the name or it will pull up 2 contacts that happen to have home in the title. Not sure why it isn't working right. Telling it to navigate to work still works correctly.
I already have my home set in the google app and in google maps.

For myself, I say "OK Google, how do I get to home". Tells me how long it will currently take and I just need to tap navigate icon.

Here's what i found...
I have read about this problem so many places and seen so many solutions - none of which worked for me.
Today - I finally found out where my "work" and "home" were stuck and preventing navigate to... from working for these locations. Short form - they were stuck in my Google+ account, but NOT in the places category. It was my contact settings for home and work. They were set to blank in my Google plus profile. It didn't matter that I had them set in my phone. It didn't matter that I had them set in Google Maps (both on Android and on the web). Caches - meaningless. In the end, it came down to the fact that those values were blank in my Google+ account - THAT is what stopped the service from working.
Thank me if I helped.

thanks! i tried you're recommendation and now it also works when I say "navigate home". I was stalling on trying it at first cause my wife is sleeping next right next to me and i didn't want to wake her. I went for the whisper and it worked lol.

? Yeah I think I used to try that too and noticed it didn't work one time. Then I realized in a Google commercial they would say "How do I get to..." and gave that a try instead. So I just use that most of the time.

Go to google plus on your browser Click on your profile. (This is from my phone, mind you) click on the info button on the rightside (the circle lettered "i").
Your location should be stored there (make sure its private). Next turn off your accounts sync on your phone and then back on. Accounts/Google turn off on everything and then back on.

Installing a larger package of google apps fixed the navigation problem for me. It seems in the nano or smaller package some essentiell voice things are missing.

How to get past "This device was reset"?

I believe we have a Motorola One Action. We bought it for a podcast we were doing.. people would be able to call in and talk to us live. We only used it once or twice and then it sat in my room for a long time.
I dropped my personal phone that I use on an every day basis and wanted to put my Mint Mobile simcard into this unlocked Motorola. It tells me that I reset the device (I did) and to verify my account. Sign in with a Google Account that was previously synced on this device.. I have no idea what I used. I tried what I thought was correct and no luck.
I tried to Google ways to get around this and have not found any that work so far.. they involved pressing some sort of secret stuff and I was able to do certain things, but none of them worked.

I have got Apex Launcher installed. I can get into settings. I can open Apex Launcher. I can open Chrome. When I get to the part about restarting, I still get stuck at the verify crap.

Well, I've been searching for a LONG time. Watched countless videos and shortly after posting these posts I found this to work:
PHEW! What a load off my mind.. I had no phone and I don't own an alarm clock to wake me up!
