Market Problems

Hi
I use Modaco 3.1 which has been stable on my Desire for a long time.
Suddenly, yesterday, Market stopped working (I am in UK). I can see market apps, I can purchase apps and I get notification of updates, but when I try to download, I get 'Starting Download' after which nothing happens. Is there a Market problem? If not, how do I start to troubleshoot this issue?
Thanks.
PS - happens on wireless LAN or mobile internet.

How long do you wait before giving up?
Even now, sometimes (at random) it'll take a good while before it starts to download on mine. Have you left it "attempting", for say, an hour?

You haven't recently updated your Gmail account from googlemail to gmail by any chance?

It happens to me sometimes... if it stucks, turn off your wifi on phone, and than turn it on, it will start downloading immediately

Thanks all
I have waited 30 mins. I have restarted phone until blue in the face. ALl other internet services are fine.
Think I'll have to reflash

Tried going to application settings, click on market and then clear the data.

As I said did you change your gmail account on the PC recently? This effects it and requires you to re-run the setup

Clearing market cache fixes this for me when it happens every now and then.

You might also like to check that you are signed in to GTalk (Talk application) as this is inextricably linked to Market.

I found when I had a low disk space warning that I had your exact symptoms.
I also couldn't get any push email from google.

When you have low diskspace warning, it won't let you install anything and also not receive any e-mails, delete apps till the warning disappears and all should be fine (this is probably the main reason everyone is waiting for froyo)

Android Market problem
Hi,
I have rooted Desire running stock ROM 1.15.405.4. with app2sd. I have a problem with downloading apps and updates from the Market. The app starts to download and then it just hangs. I have no low memory warning. I have read in some forums that clearing cache in Settings>Applications>Manage Applications can help. But unfortunately whenever I try to start Manage Applications it is forced quit so I can't clear that Market cache.
Any suggestions please?
Also I'd like to upgrade to stock ROM 1.21 (rooted) with app2sd (without needing to re-install all my apps). Obviously it is not possible to upgrade via OTA. Any suggestions for this?
thanks for advice

I'm having market problems now too for the past day or two where it's stuck on "starting download...".
I'm running Modaco 3.1 as well with APPS2SD+ which was working fine!
1) My account was always Gmail so I haven't changed that.
2) I have signed into Talk fine and it all works including Gmail notifications working too
3) I have cleared the market cache
4) I let it attempt to download for over 12 hours - still didn't start.
5) Tried to reflash the ROM (without wipe) still nothing.
Any other suggestions or should I just total wipe and reinstall?

why would you do that? If it stucks, do this:
-turn wifi off
-turn wifi on
it will start immediately

this is definitely not working for me...

[Q] Market problem

Yesterday i flashed the latest version of the runny Rom and everything seemed fine until i tried to download apps from the market. i cant download anything, market keeps showing that its going to start downloading but the progress bar never moves, i force close Market app and the progress bar doesn't dissapear from the notificacion bar.
i thought i t was the rom so i restore to my previous rom, and the market wasn't working either.
i've tried every solution i've seen on this and other boards (clear data/cache from market app, start gtalk when downloading, clear date/cache from every gApp, uninstall market updates )
i've wipped everything on recovery and installed 4 diferent roms (1.0 2.1 3.0 and 3.5) i've done everything i can think of, and my market still doesn't download anything.
i really hope some could help me.

im gonna try that, and report how it went.

no luck with the fix.apk, im trying to de-root and re-root to see if it helps..

still no luck, please i need help, i've just went back to stock, s-On, and market still not working, then unrevoked, s-Off, custom rom, market still broken. i've tested the the next roms with no luck:
-Community Rc5
-Runny Revolution v1
-Incredible HD V1.0.4 (and with the updates to 1.0.5)
-Miui 1.9.3
-CyanogenMod 7.0.3
-Stock 1.0
-Stock 2.1
Kernels:
- Stock
- Latest Gingertiny
Hope this info could lead to a fix to my problem.

Ok, i think i've found the culprit, i've just tested to download only on 3g/1x and downloads start and finish, on every rom, but when i try to download through wi-fi, downloads never start.
i've checked other sources on the web and apparently its a common issue with all kinds of android phones not just my inc, and some people are able to fix it unblocking some ports on their routers, but i've done that with no luck..
but i have a hunch that my problems started when i installed the latest beta of gingertiny, the one that enables 802.11n... hope with this extra info someone could help me, im really desperate.

Thanx to the couple of people who actually tried to help, if anyone runs into this problem with the market i've found the solution, its not your phone (rom, mods, radios) its actually some kind of issue with your router.. i've just factory reset my router, and the downloads from market started to work again.. hope this helps someone in the future.

updating..
i've found a temporary fix for this!
Yesterday after i reseted my router i though my problems with the market where gone, but they started a couple of hours later.. so i asumed that i wasn't my routers fault.
so i started again testing roms, kernels, unroot, reroot, and bam! found a fix.. not the best one but so far i can download anything from the market..
what i did was:
1.- unroot with PB31IMG.zip (stock rom from last year)
2.- connect to wifi during initial setup
3.- login to my google account during setup
4.- open market app (version 1.82 i think)
5.- download any app (wait what? yes im downloading)
6.- market updates itself and i stop being able to download anything.
so it seems obvious that the culprit was the market, so i freezed "market_updater.apk" to stop the market from autoupdating, uninstall updates and create a backup of that markets verison (1.82)
now im running community rom with that market and everything its perfect, hope this helps someone in the future.

[Q] Google Refresh Loop

Hi there,
I tried seraching around but couldnt find the answer to this question.
I'm running stock browser with my S3 on stock rom
Recently when i set google.com as my homepage and when i open a new tab, it would continuously refresh
I find that this only happens when im signed into google.
When I'm not signed in to google its fine.
Does anyone know what the problem is and how to resolve this?
thanks!

This must be a fairly new issue since i couldnt find anything online
and this thread has recently popped up
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-razr/231264-browser-acting-crazy-2.html#post2339694
I joined to see if they had any solutions.
erasing history and cache wont help

bumping this thread.
Has anyone experienced this or know the solution?
I know you can by pass it by
- Go to classic mode
- Go incognito
- Use chrome
- If u enter google image search signed in, it wont refresh either
- sign out
- dont set ur home page to google (dont ever go to google home page)
but they are no solutions.

Same problem
I just started using the stock browser again because chrome is crashing and I keep getting a refresh loop on normal (not incognito), but only when I'm logged in. Maybe this is something to do with a CM10 update because all was fine before.

I too am haveing this issue.I tried everything to try to resolve even a full wipe and reinstalling ROM and gapps again didn't help.it seems I have to just stay signed out..

i dont think its a custom rom issue
im running stock everything essentially and i still have it
i read somewhere to take out battery and sim and put it back in, then it will work. i have yet to try this, but it wont hurt to give it a shot

same problem, no solution
Problem has began Saturday 1 December late afternoon
Same issue.
I've clean history and cache browser, hard reset the phone but the problem is still present.
It affects Miui browser and Dolphin.
No problem with firefox mobile or chrome.
Very strange, no solution till now.
Thank you.

Problem with Play

I installed the rooted image (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2030282) on a Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini. All went well and everything works (including wifi/Internet access) EXCEPT - all downloads from Play now fail. The downloads start but never get anywhere. It's as though there's a problem negotiating the download, in that the progress bar remains the striped version, and the download icon in the notifications bar keeps disappearing & then coming back, as though Android is trying to make repeated attempts to start the download. I've tried deleting caches, uninstalling updates for Play, several different Google accounts (including a brand new one), factory resets & everything else I could find on the web. Nothing is working.
Help!

you have to go into recovery reinstall gapps wipe cache and fix permissions...seems like a pain but its the most effective way to get stuff done :good:

That's great, thanks - but can you give me a clue as to how I do those things?
I've read that holding Vol-Up, Home & Power On enters recovery mode, but that refuses to work on this model. (Vol-Down, Home & Power gives Odin mode). As far as I know, there's no way to get into recovery mode by pressing buttons on the Mini. And I've already tried the normal factory reset...

BTW, I can get a root shell on the phone using adb - can I do any of this stuff that way?

Okay, forget about it. Seems Google Play will work fine - provided I VPN via a server in the US...

Just stop the downloads in running services and check

While downloading, file disappears before 100%

I have an issue that sprouted about a month ago. No matter what ROM I'm running, if I start to download a file (a new ROM zip, for example) it just disappears mid-download. I'll get to maybe 30%, then it's just gone. I have to go back to the link and click download again.
The only way I can sometimes get through a whole download is to change display settings so that my screen stays on throughout the whole download process. If I close my screen or do anything else, like go to another app, the download disappears at some point, every time!
Any suggestions? Phone didn't do this when I first got it or even after I rooted and ran a custom ROM for a while. It just started randomly..

Happened to me too. Was downloading a ROM and it just disappeared twice (once at 99%). Had to download via ADM.

Same here happens a lot to me, happened in community beta and oxygen os.. So using adm now

yep same here too. FreedomOS 1.5.1 (oos 3.2.6)

Same problem for me too. Even while downloading from play store(1GB+ games etc)

Hopefully this is addressed then, because obviously it's not just me.

Is anyone here using chrome as their browser?
I was told to try an alternative. Now downloads are fine. I'm using Pyrope browser. It's great and it's in the play store.

So i had this issue. Last few days nearly all rom downloads from different sources got aborted. I had a homebutton that was a bit wonkey so i decided to wipe all partitions, including internal storage and sideload oos 3.2.7 to see if it would solve that issue.
So i did. And then after reading this thread decided on a little test. I downloaded 4 roms from different sources including from afh and none aborted.
I can't be absolutely sure at this point that the the full wipe did the trick but it sure looks like it. I'll keep a lookout to see if the issue remains solved.

Here the same probmem ... Corruopted file system?

Still happening for me. Is it because of Chrome?
Play store downloads and third party downloaded are fine

It'a a chrome issue.
