Can anybody please help me?
All my market downloads stall at "Starting download..."
Rom: Stock WWE
Kernel: richardtrips OCUV v14
/Erik97
EDIT: I solved it with a factory reset.
Is your card setup OK in your Google account?
yes, but im not buying any apps.
i cant even download free apps.
I'm having the same/similar problem with newly purchased apps... it seems I have to keep aborting downloading and retry a few time before it works... free apps or previously paid ones are fine.
mine doesnt even download free apps!
It happens to me when phone memory drops below 15 MB, check your memory...
Nah, happens to me sometimes, even though I'm using APPS2SD+, so no memory problems. Switching WiFi on and off and restarting the download seems to sort it out eventually, but I'm not sure it does anything that just waiting wouldn't do. Very annoying anyways.
signing into Google Talk (Talk) solves the problem

Yeah, I used to have the same problem on my Hero, and what StrongOneX says is true....though hardly a solution, more a workaround I'd say.
Just wondered of you'd changed your google email to gmail recently? i did, and google talk and hence market stopped working. Its a bug google knows about, and has not managed to solve for about 3 weeks now! If this is the case, then change it back to googlemail via settings and under accounts tab.
thank you everybody, I solved i with a factory reset.
This has been happening to me as well today, I can't download anything, even if I use wi-fi.
Is there someone else out there with the same problem? (I don't really wanna do a factory reset...)
had similar probs after reverting from froyo rom to mcr 3.1, tried activating gtalk, reboots, on/off wifi, changing gmail accts etc, eventually had to do a factory reset
For me, it turned out that having the "low memory space" warning blocked any download from the Market.
I had to uninstall a couple of apps to resolve this. Very annoying.
my phone doesn't sign in Gtalk neither
it steel hangs on starting download mood! also my modem shows some data transfer
someone help
So only option is factory reset for this?
I get download failed notification....
(3g or wifi no difference)
PLEASE EDIT FIRST POST! This does **NOT** require factory reset: MISLEADING "solved"

THIS is the correct answer: You don't have to do any factory reset. It's a very simple -- ANNOYING YES -- but consistent easy to remedy issue.
Invariably, you will be getting a warning in notification bar about "Empty Space getting low" .... Well, unlike most warnings that you can ignore until it maybe says "NO MORE SPACE", pretty much from the moment you get that notification, the phone blocks you from further Marketplace downloads as a self-protection mechanism. Annoyingly, it doesn't TELL you that more specifically... You just see the list of apps that you thought were downloading in the background instead just stuck in a queue, as though simply trying to connect to the server to start the download. When in fact they are stalled due to LOW SPACE...
Android should solve this by a better form of NOTIFICATION -- at the point where you click "download" or OK, whatever the final screen-action is after you approve the access the app will have to your phone.
THE REMEDY IS SIMPLE, but annoying: and you can do it many ways:
(1) Easiest way is to click on the "LOW SPACE" notification item itself (after pulling down the notification bar) ... That takes you directly to Android's native Apps Removal Tool -- where the best thing to do is first: Sort by FILE SIZE. Then you will have to sacrifice something you probably don't use anyway, or if you do it's rarely -- like a 2nd music/radio player, or YELP type app, or a second Keyboard app or browser... dump it... try to dump about 5 MB
OR
(2) Use your favorite Apps Removal Tool ... The only thing I would say is, I have found that various Apps Removal Tools don't always gain access to things like FONT PACKS you've installed or weather widget icon-packs that you could dump -- whereas the native tool does.
NOTE: Plan on waiting 30 seconds or so afterwards. It isn't instantaneous like when you clear a PRINT QUEUE on your printer by killing a bunch of files -- and then suddenly the printing resumes. For whatever reason it takes a moment or two -- but from the moment that Notification Icon for "low empty space" disappears from the bar, your downloads in queue will RESUME DOWNLOADING in an instant.
---
And now, I am guessing this will all become a MOOT POINT with apps2SD and Froyo! -- but, I still don't have froyo -- and prob some of you others don't either...
Even with Froyo part of the app stays on the phone after transferring it to SD and that's if you're lucky enough to have apps that support the move to SD option.

Ok..
I am pulling my hair out on this.
I rooted the phone, unrevoked forever!, and now my phone is always reporting it is low on storage. I removed half the apps on the phone and can't get rid of the message.
I did do a nandroid recovery once to make sure the nandroid backup was good (could that screw up the storage totals)?
Under phone storage:
SD Card:
Total 7.6, avialable: 6.2
Internal Phone: Total: 6.6gb, available: 6.45
Phone Memory: Total: 748mb, available 628mb
Looking at the items listed under manage memory (when you click low storage) I estimage about 160mb or so of storage.
When I mount the drives on my computer, I am matching the numbers shown above for available (but the bar charts in windows showing how much memory is left are wrong - they are showing very little free storage).
Any suggestions on how to fix this? I am out of apps I can remove (and that does not seem like the issue anyways).
Any suggestions?
I had this happen over and over again over the life of the phone, including well before root (the first time within days of receipt).
Online, I could only find discussions where people blamed HTC's Mail application, which appears to increase in size, even when no new mail has been downloaded. Asinine, because we have PLENTY of storage?
However, 90% of my ROM installs, I haven't even bothered to set up HTC Mail, and still had it happen. A few times I went into Settings > Applications > Manage Applications, and cleared out data for com.htc.provider.settings or com.htc.socialnetwork.provider to clear the message.
The last time, yesterday, I deleted Facebook/Twitter data (official applications from the market), and deleted Google Earth. One of those cleared it.
I've sat around quiet about it because obviously this isn't widespread. HTC is aware of the issue... but considering I've run two sense and two vanilla ROMs based on leaked 2.2, I have a strange feeling I'm going to keep seeing it.
Let me know if you find anything that isn't a little more hearsay. I'll do the same. My next plan is to wait for Cyanogen and do apps2sd. Don't know why I linked the two, but that is the plan.
I did a complete wipe and a nandroid recovery of my base ROM. While syncing in Touchdown, the low storage message popped up (I sync a large amount of data - ~68mb of data currently). I went into touchdown and removed a few folders (shrinking the data file size) and the message went away.
I am guessing there is a bug when data file size (either one or the aggregate of all) hits a certain threshold the message pops up. For now, I am just syncing less data and will see if it appears again.
I freaked the first time I saw that. Then I saw I had 5 nandroid backups. I moved all but one into a file on my computer and TAHDAH! I had space again. Of course I'm still using the 2GB card that came with the phone, but check how many nandroid backups you have, or back ups from other apps.
Hi, I'm having an issue with the "Low on Space" notification. I deleted many applications, a moved my videos to my PC, the memory is like half available (free), and the "Low on Space" notification won't go away. Even after pulling out the battery several times.
-Another issue that happened since this notification is there is that GMAIL won't push. Not even if I manually sync. (or try to sync). It just won't do it.
-It won't download any application from the market. Probably because it thinks there is no space. It displays the downloading icon for ever.
Either way, these two last issues may be related to the Google email account set up on the phone. It's not asking for a password or anything. to fix this I would need to do a reset, but I would lose all my information!
I have the latest upgrades and it's stock.
If anyone has an idea please let me know. Thanks.
I'd just wipe the phone and start from scratch.
fixed, for now.
It was fixed. Strange.
I wiped, but only the gmail accounts. Then I recreated them again. Finally they were able to sync. The Market would download applications again. the "low on space" msg is gone.
I would like to know what triggered this...
Something else I did right before it worked again. I uninstalled the Ebay application. Coincidence?

Perhaps not. I can imagine the cache for that can get quite large.
While this is not conclusive, it might be worth trying again, and when the
"low on space messages occur" try going to manage apps > ebay > clear cache
to see if that makes the difference. If it does, you'll know for sure.

how were you able to wipe only the gmail accounts? I'm having the exact same problems and can't figure it out for the life of me. Another thing that I noticed is that gTalk will not start at all...
Hello everyone,
I have a stock, unrooted Desire which has been upgraded to the official Gingerbread ROM released by HTC some months back and up to the day before yesterday was working fine.
Wednesday around 12:00 pm UTC+2 time, the phone started to show the com.htc.bgp error message on anything concerning weather (including the calender). My initial thoughts were that the device needed a clean factory install, so I erased the user data through the down volume/power procedure and then did a clean factory install from the SD menu, also adding my Gmail account info. After syncing with Gmail, the phone immediately showed the com.htc.bgp error message, so I went ahead and opened a new Gmail account thinking that my account might be corrupt... same procedure as before with the same error message.
Since I didn't have time to check anything else out, I left the phone fully restored with my original account and the error message popping up every 10 to 15 minutes till yesterday afternoon when the phone started to sync the weather correctly.
Till then, I've noticed a significant increase in speed (this compared to before the problems started), and although I'm not too sure on this one, the stock clock/weather widget on the home screen now does full screen animation of the weather; I don't recall ever having seen this on the Desire, just my old HD2 with win 6.5. Also just noticed another significant change... battery life is definitely much better than before.
My thoughts on the problems of the following days are that the network (possibly weather servers) was misbehaving and that there could have been a (silent?) OTA update of the stock Gingerbread Desire, possibly to disable the info gathering apps I've been hearing about in the past months.
Awaiting on your comments/ideas.

There was a problem with the weather api on HTC part.
Nothing serios. It's back to normal now.
LE: you didn't have to reset the phone, it was working ok.
Of course the phone worked better/faster after a reset, the memory and space was free of all the apps/settings you had.
If you format your pc now, you'll observe an improvement in speed/performance because you don't have a gazillion apps installed.
Thanks for the info!
The increase in speed is still visible even after I installed all the apps that I use (a handful actually). I'm really frugal with installed apps, having the absolute minimum for my work.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Hello, this is my first post here so im sorry if i don't do things right and don't know if this belongs here but here is my problem. I Bought a Nokia 5.1 from a local carrier and have been experiencing many difficulties. And yes i have been to their office and they said they didn't know anything.
The main one is that when i go to the battery section of the settings the "background activity manager" option is missing, i found it only because i have noticed that the phone kills all background process in order to make room for it's proprietary apps which are in my opinion, useless and just use up my ram.
The weirdest thing is that when I search for the option it shows it, when I tap it however it does not show, so that means that the option is hidden from the user. I have deleted the apps from ADB yet they still run so they are not dependent on the user.
My Nokia's model is TA-1075 2 GB RAM and 16GB internal storage.
Its a stupid phone from a stupid brand with stupid software developers. Its the only explanation for such a stupid product. I have the same model with the same problems. Solution: Never buy Nokia again!!
I believe I have found the definitive answer for this, after much googling around.
I have a 5.1 Plus (TA-1108) and tried the ADB disabling of evenwell apps and others but it still would stop services after restarts. I eventually found a post on the "Don't kill my phone" Github which alluded to the hidden setting of the "Duraspeed" task killer that is bundled.
The dontkillmyphone website says you can ADB in and change this hidden setting to 0, but this doesn't persist after a restart. The value will still be a 0, but it seems this task killer only reads the value after it detects a change in the value (bizarre, I know). So to disable this Duraspeed thing, you need to change the hidden setting value from something else to a 0 on each boot.
Luckliy, this is very easily done by Tasker/Macrodroid/etc. Use this post:
https://github.com/urbandroid-team/dont-kill-my-app/issues/57#issuecomment-484000884
but the short of it is to enable WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS to tasker (by running this:
adb shell pm grant net.dinglisch.android.taskerm android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
for tasker, google for your app of choice)
and then set a task that runs on boot to change a "Custom Setting", Global type, setting name setting.duraspeed.enabled to a value (doesn't matter, I use 2) and then immediately after change the same setting to 0.
I have this set up on my phone and my wifes phone and ever since they have been perfect with background services (my Garmin watch, lastpass, etc) as well as any email/notification apps.
Apps still killed in the background
I have the exact same phone (Nokia 5.1, TA-1075), I have done the exact same steps. I even used adb to check the duraspeed is disabled. Still - the apps are killed. Whatsapp, for example, does not show incoming calls or messages unless the screen is on. IFTTT - the time-based triggers are reported as triggered within the app, but the actual expected notification shows minutes or hours later. The location-based triggers do not work.
What am I missing?
