ok, at first, sorry for my bad English.
Now about my problems. The first one, that annoys me like hell is that I get, when ever im about to get an sms or a call, or send an sms or a call a small flashing icon in te top left corner of status bar. It is somewhat blue,white colour but I can hardly figure out how it looks since it shows up for a second and then dissappears.
I tried to contact HTC, they told me to do wipe my cache but that didnt work. I asked them if it could be related to my second problem - constant Google sync error with App Data, but they didnt heard of that problem yet. I tried anything! And can't fix this
oh, it seems that I have 3 problems! I figured that I cant instal some apps that I download from internet. I tried with apps like Drastic, Worms3 and just now Xperia Album from xda forum! It just says "app not installed". And thats not the case with all apps I download from internet. Some are working just fine.
Im not rooted.
Can anyone help me?
I believe it is the data useage icon. The one that monitors the texts, calls and data you are using. I stopped it once, but after multiple flashing attempts I cannot remember how to stop it. It is very annoying. I think turning off alert me about data useage and limit mobile data useage in the more settings stops it coming up.
Other issues I can't help.

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.

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.
I am having a issue that started today for some reason. When I try to send a text message or any kind of message for that matter from the messaging program that comes on the phone....the message just sits there and say sending..... underneath what you are trying to send. So that tells me its hanging and net getting out. I can receive message with no problems. Can anyone direct me of what to do to correct it ? I have made sure all my settings in Network settings are the way they are suppose to be like they have been all along. Any help or directions or ideas would be so great. Thanks for your time.

more details.. on stock?
silly question but you'll be surprised... have you tried rebooting?
wipe caches?
fix permissions?
3rd party messenger?
yeah I have went over all that. I have checked all the messaging settings/permissions. I have rebooted a number of times. I have cleaned out all cache that I can...even with deep cleaner apps from the market. I even tried to install and use the handcent messaging app from the market and I get the same results. I try to send a text and the message notifier just sits there and spins because it is not going through. Again though, I can receive messages. this is really beginning to upset me.

well i did something tonight and it corrected everything. I installed a new rom on my Samsung Galaxy S2-t989. Its called the Tuesday Rom. It works really awesome. My phone is sickly much quicker and system storage and my main gig drive space increased because this new rom requires less space to install. Check it out. awesome !!!!! Look for the video on youtube..search these keywords.....Tuesday ROM for T-mobile Galaxy S2! [SGH-T989]
Ok so I had just received a text. Went to open from the notification bar and when I did it just took me to the message home screen saying "no conversations". I tried using Handcent to see if it was a glitch in default app but nothing there. Tried restarting and powering off phone. Nothing!
But what's weird is that there is no way in hell it could have actually deleted all those messages that fast (I had a 1500 message thread with one person alone). It's almost as if it just lost access to them.
Yes my phone is rooted and I believe I'm running one of the AOKP roms (been a while since I switched that's why I'm not completely positive)
Never had anything like this happen before, I know the messages have to be there somewhere, it's impossible for a phone this slow to just instantly delete over 2000-3000 messages.
Thanks for any help!

Dont quote me on it but i think text messages are stored in a database in the /data/data/com.android.messaging. I removed messaging from mine and use handcent so i cant really look. Just look for something in /data/data with messaging in the name.
I've had that happen on my original Droid a few times. I think it's caused by a low space thing, (which is extremely common on this device) and I've never found a way to get the texts back if they weren't backed up somewhere else. I agree with you that it's odd how quickly it can delete that many texts, though.

Thanks for the responses guys.
Cmlusco, Yea I checked /data/data and there was nothing there.
godsmacked, But shouldn't I have gotten a low space warning beforehand? My phone seemed fine at the time of doing this. But whatever, I had nothing important there that I needed.
But I still hate having lost all of them, maybe I'm just sentimental and liked having some of those convos. Especially since one was with a special girl (gay I know but whatever)
That happened to my friend who has an Inc as well. I don't see any way to get them back. SMS backup works I think or you can download go SMS to backup as well.

Hi, I bought One X approximately a month back, the phone is awesome. But the issue that suddenly started to occur was yesterday when I tried to open up one of my messages, but the screen wont open, instead when I try to open up any specific conversation tab, it keeps on loading and won't show any messages at all from that person. Also after it showed this problem, I am unable to read new texts and even delete any of my texts (it sort of hangs) whereas the other phone features work clearly.
Did a factory reset, restored the backup but still no change. Kindly help me as to what should I do.
THanks!!
I ended up rooting into a custom rom hehe.
Are you rooted?

Ironically it's restoring the backup that is probably why the problem is back. Because you restored the problem too!
Open up the Messaging in 'Manage Applications' and clear cache and data. You'll loose all of your received SMS messages but at least you'll be able to use Messaging again.
If it persists ring your provider and get them to send through your SMS message center settings again.
