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
My Nexus 7 2013 or FHD or whatever has been working great since day one. I was just now listing to some music, and put it on pause to speak with a co-worker. I just came back to my desk with the Nexus boot up logo showing. It took a very long time (3-5 minutes) for it to finish booting up.
After unlocking the tablet I'm greeted with "Google Play Services stopped working." Instead of loading NovaLauncher right away it it asks me if I want to launch the default launcher or NovaLauncher. Selecting Nova greets me with the default NovaLauncher layout--all of my icons and folders have been lost to the default. And I no longer have a PIN set or anything.
Poking around further it seems several other things have lost data. Swiftkey wants me to re-download the English layout and complete setup. All of the stock system apps want updates. And I keep getting pop ups saying Google Play Services has crashed.
What's really odd is when I want to bring this up on another forum someone else posted a very similar experience:
The Nexus 7 is great but my experience was short lived.
I don't know if it was a bad tablet or bad encryption but something seriously broke. I wanted to add my company email to my tablet and part of that process involves enabling encryption on my device. Everything was fine and running well, until I plugged it in for the night. At some point my Nexus rebooted and it was at the pre OS screen asking for encryption credentials. I thought that was weird but entered my info. It chugs along fine until it loads my lock screen where I immediately notice it no longer was asking for a PIN and my background changed back to the default. I go to my home screen and noticed my widgets weren't loading and I started getting error messages saying Currents and Play Store stopped responding. I try and access those apps but they go straight to a crash message.
I go ahead and factory reset it and when I tried to reapply the encryption it would go through the motions but it would never encrypt. I thought it was a bad reset and reset it again. Now it just hangs where it says Google and never boots up.
I ended up calling Google Support and I'm getting my Nexus replaced. Has anyone else experienced anything like this before?

I don't have encryption but I do have an exchange account added. There wasn't any remote wipe or anything. I haven't tried a factory reset yet but we'll see if I have the same issues the other person was having.
It's a little concerning to see someone else have almost the exact same thing happen. Makes me worried there's some defective memory out there. Has anyone else heard of this happening?
I've had some really strange experiences the last couple of days with my N7 as well. Bear with me as i try to explain.
I picked up my N7 after work yesterday and noticed the Fandango app had an update waiting. I tapped 'Update', and then went to check something in the Play app settings, and noticed the version was 4.2.9. When the Fandango app finished updating, i opened it up to check out some showtimes. After that i went back to the Play app, into the settings again, and noticed that the app version had been bumped up to 4.3.1. When i tapped the home button, the N7 locked up, and i couldn't do anything at all. I powered it down and attempted to reboot, but no luck. I could get as far as the boot animation, but no further, no matter how long i let it run, or how many times i attempted to reboot. The only thing that worked was to completely wipe everything via fastboot, reinstall 4.3, and start from scratch. I thought my problems were solved, as everything seemed to work fine once i got everything re-installed and configured again.
Until i came home from work today, that is.
Upon arriving home, i unlocked my N7 and was greeted by several dialog boxes indicating that both the stock calendar app and Currents had crashed. Neither app could be opened, as they'd immediately crash, and the stock launcher would also crash, even though i use Nova Launcher. I thought maybe uninstalling/reinstalling updates for Calendar, would help, but the Play Store would crash immediately and could not be launched. I went into settings>apps and tried uninstalling updates and clearing data for all three apps, but only the Play Store app seemed to benefit from this. Nothing seems to help Calendar or Currents. They won't sync or open, and i've also just noticed that the Gallery immediately force closes when i try to launch that, too. My Google Voice app, which i used last night with no problems whatsoever, had lost all its data and had to be reconfigured from scratch. I'm still going through the rest of my apps one at a time to see if there are problems with any of them, but so far all other Google apps are working properly.
I'm perplexed as to what the problem is. Software issue? Hardware issue? In any case, i'm calling Google Support to ask for a replacement, just to be safe. I'm hoping that the N7 i have now is just a lemon, and not indicative of more widespread problems.
I bought two, one works flawlessly (knock on wood) and the other one **** the bed after three days of use. I am returning it for a new one.

I'm all setup to return this one, and not a moment too soon as it's acting even wonkier now. DashClock force closes, and i'm finding some apps have had their data erased, while others are working normally. Hopefully the replacement works as it's supposed to, because i'll be really annoyed if i have to go through three or four tablets before i get one that works.
I just had almost the exact same issue, opened SoundHound premium and the nexus 7(2103) crashed.
After like 5mins it boots up, with my google account deleted (with it all my paid apps), all the google apps updates and google services crashing.
and above all extremely slow.
I'm now re-registering my account, to see if ir returns to normal.

Did you have an exchange account set up on the Nexus?
After this happened to me I wiped everything (I wanted to unlock the bootloader anyways) and things are going fine. If it happens again I'm going to exchange it.
I am at my wits end with this glitch. I just got the Galaxy s6 last Friday and within a few days I got a voicemail notification that will not go away. I have tried many many things:
- clearing the cache under application manager (It will go away for a couple of hours or if I restart the phone)
- updating the PRL
- updating the profile
- calling my voicemail from another phone, leaving a message, deleting the message, and waiting for it to clear (it doesnt clear)
- Installing google voice, letting google voice take over my voicemail, and uninstalling it
- getting the entire phone replaced (yes, believe it or not, the issue still shows up on an entirely different phone)
So I am not sure what else to do if anyone has any ideas I am more than open. I have a Galaxy s6 on 5.1.1 with Sprint network.
Thank you in advance.

I assume that you saw a Sprint technical consultant that is swapping/swapped your device... Well he should not have.
This is an actual known issue that is being investigated by both Samsung and Sprint device engineers. The issue is due to the 5.1.1 update.
This was posted by one of our device engineers that specifically work with Samsung devices on the Sprint network:
1) Put the device into ‘CDMA’ mode by going to Settings/Mobile Networks/Network Mode. Device will power-cycle.
2) If upon powering back up the notification doesn’t disappear within 1 minute, please instruct the user to toggle airplane mode. Within 1 minute of disabling airplane mode, the MWI will disappear from the device.
3) Once the MWI is removed from the device, please instruct user to put device back into ‘Automatic’ mode found under Settings/Mobile Networks/Network Mode.
I have not tried this work around as of yet to see if it works, seeing as I personally have not seen this issue very often. Replies to the above work around were mixed, saying it worked and it did not. Personally, I would not set the device back to Automatic, but CDMA/LTE.
I have tried this a few times and sadly it does not fix my issue

Do me a favor.. use your application manager and goto All Apps.
Scroll down to Google. Wipe data and cache on:
Google Account Manager
Google Play Services
Google Framework
Report back.

I just did this. No change. It still pops up on restart or accessing my voicemail.

Just go down the line of Google services and clear data/cache, one of them will wipe the VM notification ^^

The Google services have nothing to do with the notification. Scroll down in applications, until you see the (3) Phone apps. It is usually the third phone app. Press the Clear Data button. This will remove the voicemail icon, but upon reboot it will return. I've chatted with Sprint about it, who referred me to Samsung Support. Samsung did a remote session into my phone, and did this same thing, but unfortunately it doesnt fix the issue. According to the Sprint forums, Sprint and Samsung are both looking into the bug. Replacing your phone, or doing a complete reset will not work either. All S6 are affected on Sprint network.
I have an issue, Ok Google keyword is activated in the options of wear 2.0 but the keyword does nothing. if i long press the button the assistant come in but the keyword don't work. Is there a workaround? Am i the only one with this issue?
On my watch it works well.

Already activated but no effect, trying factory reset
Ok, just pinpointed the issue, "ok google" works only if the language is set to english, don't work in french...
Problem was here too. I do reset/wipe my watch and now all work. And now battery is better. Yesterday in 12 hours 80%, today after reset in 6 hours 10%
Working now after 3 factory reset and changing language to english and to french thereafter.
Same problem after the OTA : Ok google doesn't work ! long press the button works fine !
After factory reset all works perfectly !
I have the same problem. I also noticed that instead of using assistant on push held it defaults to google search. That's why the keywords aren't working. I have factory reset my watch at least four times and the problem comes back after a couple of days. I am in English US and have switched it back and forth just for kicks. Has anyone had any luck?
edit: I also noticed my Talkback services are buggy and don't provide and example when I tap on the icon under the settings

Hello everybody,
As i've said it in my post above, a factory reset has resolved the problem and now Ok Google works perfectly !

Did you actually take the time to read my post? I mentioned I have done that several times and the problem keeps coming back.
Hello joeanca
Yes I've taken time to read your post, and I don't understand why a factory reset don't resolve your problem. Because, for myself it resolves it.
Perhaps somebody else could have a new idea to help you
I have the same issue. Factory reset only fixes the issue for a few hours then it happens again (I think once they lose the connection between them (for example because of distance) and reconnect again. Factory reset also enables wi-fi again. The issue is that if the watch is connected only through Bluetooth with wi-fi closed, google assistant and play don't work , if you go in watch settings it says disconnected in Bluetooth but no "cloud" icon pops up at the screen and on phone Bluetooth settings it says connected furthermore the watch works perfectly like receiving notifications changes song track etc. Oh also the silence phone setting from android wear app doesn't work
I just had this problem and resolved it by dumb luck.
I originally synced two Google Accounts to my watch. After updating apps on the watch, OK Google detection hasn't worked.
I found that my default account in Google Assistant on my phone had changed from my primary account. I removed all but my primary account from the watch, and selected my primary account in Google Assistant. OK Google now works again on the watch.

This exactly my problem. The phone says it is connected and the watch works, but the Assistant only says it is offline and cannot understand me. That drives me crazy. I have only one account synced. This Thread is the only thread so far that has my exact problem in it. I know it is a little older, but is there anyone with an idea?
thx and regards
My issue is the Ok Google gets locked into a loop. Whatever the first command I speak to it after Ok Google.. it just loops. Be it What is the time, what day is, send a message, etc. it keeps looping on that command. only seems to affect my Huawei watch 2 classic. phone doesn't have the same issue. have rebooted watch. If i swipe the google assistant away and execute another command, it loops on that one. I have both Facer and Watchmaker watchface apps installed. an issue like this should not have been present in a beta stage so I have to wonder.. what could I have on my watch causing this?
--edit--
Well... it seems Wear 2.0 does NOT like more than one account on a watch. I had three accounts hooked to the watch. My phone's private account. My professional email account, and a purchases account. 3 accounts. Seems that just wasn't how it wanted to work things. As soon as I cut out the pro and purch accounts it starts acting right. I have one account that my android devices get to access for uniformity of data but nothing else gets to use it. I have several emails for various purposes.
So if you have more than one account, as others have found.. remove them down to a single account. Things will probably start working right.
And its back to looping. basically.. if I say Ok Google, then wait for the ready prompt and give it a command "Set an alarm" it will process that command, ask when I want the alarm for, but feed itself the "Set an Alarm" command, ask when, feed command back to itself, ask when... on and on.
Had the same problem. Deleting cache and data of Google app on the watch worked for me. OK google finally works, but I cannot send WhatsApp messages via ok Google, what worked a few days ago with manually starting google by press and hold the upper button.
With Google even talking back works now
i solved the ok googlo hotword problem by deleting chache and data of google app on my huawei watch 2 and it started working again
My phone has been wonky this week. Apps won't update, and "calendaring" services and apps not kicking off.
Blue light filter scheduled in the OS doesn't run at night now, or disable in the morning when it should.
Apps with reminders come in way late or not at all. Appointments for work alert multiple times for same event, even though dismissed. Date and time is correct on the phone.
If I reboot, the missed reminders flood in immediately.
Txt messages just sit waiting to be sent, reboot, send out. No differenence if on wifi or Cellular.
Force close the app and reopen or reboot phone, sometimes drafted messages still present and send, other times the draft is just gone.
I have tried optimized and High Performance battery modes, no difference.
Apps won't update either (22 waiting), sometimes download to 99% and just spin until I reboot, or fully download, then just sit there.
If I let the phone sit idle, notification will come up that 5 apps have updated, go to the Play Store and those same apps still show as needing to updated or being processed. Reboot, then they show updated.
I have cleared cache and storage data for the Play Store and Google Play Services, no change.
System usually has around 4.5GB Ram available. Earlier in the week I could run the device optimizer, and that would clear things up for a little bit.
Did get the security update from AT&T on Nov 1st, things were running fine before that.
Galaxy Note 10+
SM-N975U
Remaining phone details on attached screen shot.
Is this an OS issue?
Could a bad SIM cause this?
Do I have a bad phone?
I really don't want to have to factory reset the phone, just got it 3 weeks ago, any suggestions?
Factory reset is definitely the way to go. If you use a password manager, it's really not a big deal. Just make sure you backup anything not in the cloud. Short of that, start deleting apps, newest to oldest installed it updated, in hopes you find the culprit.
One thought though... if you installed the Samsung Labs stuff, try removing that first. Those seem a bit not ready for prime time.

I have deleted all apps from this past week and don't have anything from Samsung past stock apps.
I do have everything backed up in the cloud including my 2FA/MFA authentication is backed up except 1 can't be, so that will be a manual reset.
Appreciate the reply, figured the reset is where I'm headed, just thought I would throw it out there.
Well this is beyond frustrating.
Reset to factory, phone was fine until I restored settings, then I was right back to what was happening before.
Reset phone again, only restored content, no apps or settings.
I checked Google Play and Samsung Store for updates, ran what was available.
Things were going well, I would install a few apps, configure with Logins, continue forward.
I got a message there was an update, Samsung Experience Service and it Updated automatically, then everything started again, first that no further apps will install.
I Uninstalled Samsung Experience, but it only Uninstalled the update. I tried to install another app after this, not successful, even after a reboot.
I tried to reinstall the Samsung Experience from Play Store, would not complete.
Ran the app update from the Galaxy store successfully. Rebooted phone, still no other apps will install from Google Play.
I can install from Galaxy Store without issue, but not all of my apps are available there.
Even if I reset again, that update will come into play
So frustrated right now how much time I have wasted for this phone to be rendered undependable so quickly.
I think I might try creating a new Samsung account and see if that helps.
I read many issues with restoring. Try to factory reset it without restoring anything, and setup the phone, apps, and downloading everything manually to notice if it's helps.
I ended up taking the phone into an authorized Samsung repair shop. They flashed the phone with new OS with cumulative updates. Phone has been fine since.

Firstly,
i only saw/ read your above post (thread) now.
I'm glad you managed to sort your annoying issue out.!
What you experience, by factory resetting etc and issue still
persisted , i also experience 2 x with my older devices.
(Think it was note 5 and/or my Note 8).
Can't exactly remember issues i had, think one issue, was my Bluetooth quick setting icon kept on disappearing in the Quick toggles, and something else.
( Not similar issues , like you experienced )
Also only resolved it , by flashing relevant official stock Rom again (clean install etc.) as factory resetting failed to fix it.
Point /lesson here, is that a factory reset, does not always
help...?
Good luck.
