Problem with Android Market?

I have been trying to update some of my apps and download some new ones from the market but they all seem to be stuck on starting download. Havent been able to download anything from the market for about a week now.
I have rebooted the phone and that didnt seem to resolve the problem at all.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Thanks

how long have the updates been stuck at "starting download"?
what ROM are you using?
for now leave it be for a while. sometimes it just needs time (leave it for a couple of hours and see what happens)

its been stuck on that for at least 24 hours..
Im using a stock Desire 2.1 update 1
It was working fine for a while even after i updated

Check to see if you are logged into Google Talk (the Talk application).
Market uses some of the services and protocols of Google Talk, and if it is not logged on it will stall on downloads.

i rebooted my phone again and it downloaded all the ones that were queued up.
Thanks for the suggestion anyway. Ill definitely check the talk application if it happens again

i have a bug in market too......when i choose to update all the apps simultaneously they do download but neither installs....if i cancel them all and try again one at a time no probs

Cheers for that. Market on any 2.2 ROM for me has not been working properly (no paid apps and really slow). Just logged in to Talk and now it's all humming along.
Thanks

Same problem
I'm experiencing the same thing. I'm running CM 5.0.8-DS. It just started doing this today...hanging on the "Starting download..."
It's been this way today for about 5 hours now. I checked GTalk and I'm logged in just fine ([email protected]).
Reinstalled GApps, rebooted...same deal.

ok now it has started happening again. Cant seem to download from the market. Also cant seem to open "talk" as it doesnt open anything, just redirects me back to the home screen.
I went into running services from settings and it shows GTalkService process active.

just an update to those of you experiencing the same problem.
Go into settings > applications > manage applications and clear data from Gmail Storage, Google Apps and Google Mail. This has done the trick for me on 2 occassions.
Market seems to go back to normal and download and update my apps as normal

[Q] removing uninstalled apps from market

when i open up the 'download' page on the market. It seems to show every app i've had on my phone. Even ones that have 'failed' or have been uninstalled show up at 'free'.
Is there anyway to remove these? I've tried clearing the cache/data from the market but still nothing.

Mine usually disappear within a day...or sooner. Sometimes they are gone within minutes when I uninstall something.

MMBosstones86, i have the same problem.
does your market also freeze on the installing part? mine does although the status bar states that it installed successfully. hmm
in for solutions

not here, mine don't seem to go away...ever.
i got some in there i uninstalled more than a month ago

Come on people, try Googling your questions before posting them here.
I did a Google search for "clear android market download history" and found this page on the second result:

[Q] Unable to verify account

For some reason when I try to download apps now it keeps saying "We are unable to verify your account at this time. Please try again in a few minutes." I've tried clearing the cache from Google Play, signed out/in, rebooted. It still keeps doing this, and it has been since around 5am. Does anyone know how to fix this?
EDIT: Please don't bash me I just realized this is the General side, and not Q&A sorry.

Sans error Gree!

Try deleting the mail account in settings and accounts. Try rebooting then create the master account again. Try doing this on wifi if your data speed is slow or network is busy. Is this a new rom youre trying?

i live in pottstown,pa.and have been getting the same error message when downloading apps from play store,haven't found a fix yet.but im wondering if it has something to do with the area,im about 30 mi from you.

fix
just googled this as i was also experiencing it. found androidforums.com and a suggestion to clear data in google services framework, just tried it and it worked!
settings>apps>all>google services framework>clear data.
Then reboot

I don't think it's the area, although sometimes I do get some weird stuff happening. All I did was remove the account, reboot, add the account back, and it works! So try that if that doesn't work, you can try what ^^^ that person said.

Problems with Google account - anyone else??

Hello all,
Have been experiencing an annoying issue with what seems to be my Google account (I assume).
At least every other day I am getting an issue with downloading any updates from the Play store. I get the error 491 message. It also seems to effect the syncing of my Google account and my emails being received via Kaiten.
Once I restart the phone everything is fine...until it randomly happens again.
I have tried the usual problem solving such as wiping the dalvik cache, logging out of my Google account and signing in again but no joy.
I had enough last night and reflashed the latest UK rom and carried out a factory reset so that the phone was 'as new' but once again today I have had the above issues.
Is anyone else having this annoying problem???
Not sure what is causing it other than assuming it is my Google account as the internet and browsing is working well while these other problems exist.

Wipe /cache from recovery, should work but not sure.

Had it once, and only once, least week.
Rebooted, has worked fine since...
(Fingers crossed)

same here.I clear dalvic cache everyday and it still happens

Amazon app store app stopped working

I have the unlocked US Fire phone running OS 4.6.1. The app store app doesn't work any more. I get a page that says "Looking for something? The web address you entered is not a functioning page on our site." Tried clearing the app's cache. Is this happening to anybody else?

I had this but force quit and cache clear worked for me. Perhaps uninstall updates too and see what happens.

Thanks. Clearing data, in addition to cache, worked for me. I was scared about losing my profile and so forth, but it looks like I lost nothing.
