up until 2 weeks ago my Desire was working perfectly. In the mean time I have travelled from the UK to Greece where I disabled the data roaming (I mention this as this is the only thing that has changed in the settings). On returning to the UK I now cannot download any new apps, or update any existing ones from the Android Market.
All that happens is I get a graphic which shows the commencement of the download, no progress bar movement and not actual download, irrespective of how long I leave the download going.
I have tried on wi-fi and over 3G, no luck.
When I switch the phone on I get an error message stating that it cannot verify the google talk account - which may be connected to the problem, however I cannot find any setting or app in the phone which has anything to do with the google talk app. The HTC desire online guide tells me how to access the 'talk' app, but following the very simple instructions does not reveal the app on the phone.
Anyone else experiencing the same problem or who has a solution?

stopped downloading apps
I've had same problem and not solved it yet!
Hi,
I've had a problem with the Locations app since receiving the Desire HD. Basically no map details appear, just a yellow background with my location pin pointed, the apps controls in the top left and right corners. If I zoom out all the major towns/cities are displayed (UK) but zooming in, moving around etc produces nothing .. no map details at all, just the same yellow background.
I've tried re-installing the app, deleting and downloading the UK map, clearing the data/cache without luck. Google Maps works fine but it would be nice to have the offline Locations working too. Anyone have any ideas/suggestions?
Cheers
You need to download the maps on your sd card from the application. when you open the map press menu then upgrade from there you should be able to choose your country then download the map.
Thanks for the reply but I already had tried that with no luck. I had no problems downloading the map and it's there on the SD card OK but Locations still fails to 'load' any details/map data.

Hi,
The map is saved under \SD card\.data\navigator\data\maps
and name as xxx.cmap
If there is no map saved in SD card, it will use online map mode(like Google map)
Go Locations>Menu>Upgrade>Map to download map again

Thanks for the info but i've checked that the map is on my SD card and it is. I've also emailed HTC and they said do a hard reset. Which I had already done and its made no difference. Still just a yellow map and if I try to set directions it cant find any address I type!!!!!!!

Can someone please help me????
Whilst trying to solve what was the original problem in this thread i have managed to delete my UK maps file (yes, i know).
I have tried to re-install the locations software but it did not solve my problem.
When i try to activate the app it either:-
1) Gives me a message saying "storage card space required - to use this application, you must have at least 15mb storage card space. Please reserve 15mb space and try again later".
or
2) Loads up with a white screen and the message "No Locations".
I have no idea what the first one means or how to do this!!!
When the second thing happens i cannot download any more maps as i have a white screen, the licences does not sync either.
Please help somebody!!!
Right, After emailing HTC, i performed a hard reset - no joy. I then formatted the SD card with better results. I have now installed the Locations software but at the moment i am struggling to download the maps - i have the option to but the download seems to take ages and then mysteriously stops most of the way through. If anyone can help it would be appreciated.
Hi, is anyone able to download maps for Japan? Thanks.
That's great! It solved the same problem of mine.
My problem
I have a similar but more extreme problem. Some background: I purchased a DHD in south africa and travelled back to the uk to visit for a week. Locations app was working in SA and in zurich (my connection point). Upon arrival in the uk I connected to my parents wifi and updated some apps, one of which was google maps. From then on HTC locations has not worked, ie neither stored maps (south africa or uk) or maps accessed via data connection will not display, just a black screen with road and compass icons. It runs really slow and often present with a force close message or the not enough space 15mb message, after which all license info disappears ie going to upgrade results in blank menus for a while. I have tried reinstalling maps and locations app with same result. HTC suggest a hard reset ("turning it on and off again"). It is running froyo and awaiting gingerbread update, probably due to it being a SA imei. I am reluctant to lose a lot of data for unsure results and would like to hear of possible reasons for this fault before I do so. Does anyone have ideas what is going on and how to cure this problem?
I can live without locations but i do like footprinting places I have been so it is not the end of the world but it would be nice.
I tried to update play store to the latest version by clearing the data and cache.
Unfortunately it didn't work and I still have version 3.4.7
however I have know noticed that one image at the bottom when launching the play shop does not load. It always shows a black tile with an android
attached a screenshot to show you.
How can I fix this, any idea why it is happening?
Edit: I tried clearing cache and data ro reload play shop and no change.
tried a restart and it doesn't fix it.
there is no fix, because there is no problem
the number of app in the bottom is just variable

Select "Automatic Time Zone" in time settings when connected to Network. Go to Airplane Mode and Restart and turn Airplane Mode off!
It should work!

Kind regards

Have exactly the same issue.
Oppo Find 7a color OS
Nothing seems to work with Play Games, clearing data, cash, reinstalling doesn't help.
The app is unresponsive. All pages are blank, or has a loading icon on 'em.
Can't see or add account. And the settings tab is blank as well.
Only page working in the app is "feedback".
When starting a game, it asks me to install Play Games, well it is installed.. =/
Is there some old stored settings somewhere on my phone I can delete?
The issue doesn't seem to be phone specific, seen the issue on not only Oppo, but also on Nexus phones, Oneplus 2, Galaxy etc.
Anyone got a solution?
