I can't install apps I've paid for. I can purchase new ones but they get stuck on "starting download" with a over ending status bar. Um on fresh .6
Wouldn't you know...
This problem's fixed itself since I posted this question. It didn't work for at least 2 weeks. Today I just queued up a bunch of apps to update, plus a new one to install (TivoRemote) and it did lag at the "Starting Download" progress bar for a looong time then all at once they started coming through as they should one-by-one. Typical.
Awesome.
I've had this randomly happened to me, even before I rooted my phone. I would typically disable my mobile data connection, enable wifi, then disable wifi and re-enable mobile. I have no clue what step along that way actually fixed it but it would start downloading again every time. I haven't seen it in a while though.
The same thing has been happening to me, I would restart my phone and the app would say it was installed but it force closed after uninstalling then reinstalling it worked fine

Anyone getting a force close on the market after the update? I tried with wifi on and off, I get a message telling me there's no connection and retry or cancel and as soon as that message pops up a force close message pops up. Reflashed several times but haven't done a wipe yet

Had the same problem at first, reflashed the radio update and it maybe?? fixed it. hasn't happened since.
should we apply the radio update after the rc33 update? maybe that's the problem?
First time I flashed it before, had the error, reflashed and not had it since.
any of you guys running themes before the flash? also how long did it take to load once you did access the market?
seems like a wipe fixed it
yeah i was having the same market problem it was really slow to work...a wipe did the trick though..now im just searching to see if i need to re do all the cache for market, browser, etc..
TBH, i think it may be a coincidence that you all got it to work after reflashing/wiping.
I had the exact same problem but didn't see many posts about it so I figured I'd wait it out.
After about an hour, the problem went away and I haven't had any issues since.
mine didn't go away all day
No problems, and yes you install rc33 first and then the radio afterwards.
hmm guess i just got lucky then. now that i think about it, at one point i changed 3g to 2g and then back, and then it worked, so i dunno.
I can't see how the issue went away since there is no radio applied in RC33.
I had to install the radio for the market and Sync to work
im having market issues after 5 days of it working
i get that forced closed and error.
dont know if i should wipe and see if that fixes it blah.
I personally ALWAYS wipe prior to installing a new rom.
did you reboot?
install the radio?
throw the phone against the wall?

I think we were talking about reinstalling the radio update, which I didn't have to do for the issue to go away.
RC33 Hanging Issues ...
All,
I was also having the same problem as allot of folks on here. As a result, wiping does correct the issue. However, wiping also cause you to have to re configure all the apps you have. The issue is that the hacks for Apps on SDcard and Application caches causes hangs when upgrading to a new version. The reason is because the symbolic links previously created are no longer available so the applications cannot locate their application data.
I saw on another post that there is a work around to fix this issue without having to do a wipe.
The fix is simply to recreate the symbolic links that previously existed.
If your phone is stuck at the android logo, this can be done by plugging in the USB to PC and use adb to recreate the symbolic links. Then yank the battery and power it on again.
Hope this help others.

I haven't had any to try. :-/
My Market will browse all day long but randomly when I try to download something it just sits at "Starting Download". I have to cancel it, exit the Market, rinse and repeat before it goes. Weird.
Way too often, the automatic updates fail to update (often with not enough storage, or some similar message).
Then I have to go and search at the bottom of my apps and reinstall the failed installs.
Really annoying.
It happens on both of my Nexus Ss.
Anyone experiencing the same?
I get this too and sometimes I request to manually install an app... it starts downloading then just stops on it's own... but still showing thats it's downloading in the vending app. when I select the app... it gives me the option to install... I keep doing this in a loop until it finally downloads/installs
yes i get this very often, like every day
it's very very annoying
i have 2 apps and a game that i want to update, and it does exactly the same problem sinatosk is having
The one that has issues for me is twitter. I never use twitter so i don't care if it updates but it always tries and fails.

I've only had it happen once- the insufficient space one- when I was installing two things at the same time. Retried and went off with no problem. I've noticed update issues on other phone models, too; either insufficient space or just hanging forever at downloading.
I had this too. I cleared all the data for the download app and autox seems to have gotten better. I think this started happening after I moved some apps to SD card.

correct, it's not a phone specific problem, but a weird bug with Android Market
i have 3 different phones, and all of them have this insufficient space bug, whenever i try to update more than 1 app at a time
or some specific app or game just hangs forever at downloading
my theory for those, is that the Developer is still uploading the app, and stupid market makes it available even when the upload is incomplete
because those apps/games that i have trouble across all 3 phones have problem downloading, if i retry again after several hours, or days, then they download just fine and fast, instead of only 1% every few hours
if my theory is right, then Google should make the new versions NOT Available until the upload is completed by the Developer
I am wondering if it's actually an OS problem, because I noticed that I also get quite a few "download failed" when downloading icons with the stock browser.
Anybody else have an issue with or notice your apps updating multiple times from the Android Market? By this I mean for example back on 7/7 I believe it was I picked up an update for Pulse News, I watched it install and everything. Then today it shows me a new update for Pulse again, I update it, check the details, and it's the same new version from 7/7. I have had this happen alot,a nd it's not the other issue where sometimes you choose to install an app and it says "waiting to download" or whatever and never this starts the download, I actually see it dl and install then days later it seems to pick up the same update. Today this also happened with Folder Browser HD and I'm pretty sure this is like the 3rd time it picked up that update from like 7/7.
Hey there!
Today is my first day running with miui 1.9.30 on my desire s.
I switched from VoidU 1.1a just to try some new stuff.
Everything is working fine, but when trying to download apps from the store, it's just not working.
It says "Starting Download...", the page reloads but progress is stuck at "Starting Download".
In the "My Apps" menu, the download is listed, but also stuck on starting.
Wasn't able to find a solution to this problem so far.
I tried wiping cache / market data / google apps data.
Some people said it's related to google talk. So i have overwritten it with a different version, still no progress.
All other downloads are working fine. I can download from the internet and through the MIUI theme manager.
The Appstore even calls me when i have new updates.
Google Sync also syncs without problems
Does anyone have / had similar issues?
Aqua
PS: Yes i have looked in the Download App.
I am using a WPA secured WiFi connection.
When that happened to my GF the problem was that the language set for her Google account wasn't the same as the language on her phone. Switching that fixed it.
Today exactly the same thing happened also to me.
When trying to download apps from the market, it said "Starting Download...", the page reloads but progress was stuck at "Starting Download".
Yesterday everything was fine.
I tried now to switch from 3G to Wireless, and downlaoding apps.
This seemed to help, now downloading apps worked.
Then i switched back to 3G, and downloading apps from the market still works.
So the problem seems to be solved now.
Perhaps it was a temporary general problem of the market, or switching from 3G to wireless (and then switching back) helped.
Solved it!
Solution was as stupid as the problem itself.
Our wifi network got upgraded the last week.
As a side effect, some ports got locked again.
And yep, the market port was one of them.
Tried at a different wifi location and the downloaded worked fine again
This needn't to be the problem. I had the same with Voidu and Virtuous. The solution was either to change language (but worked only for couple of minutes) or uninstall update of Market to 3.1.5 (then you have to delete marketupdater.apk, otherwise it installs the update again).
Today i faced a problem where i went to the play store and went to my apps and all of the apps were up to date. I rebooted my phone and ''Youtube'' was being updated.
Why did it update after reboot instead of when i went to ''My apps'' in the playstore and everything was up-to-date ?
its normal.
it might of not been available for your phone the first time you checked. when apps are updated, not everyone gets the update right away. your neighbor might see an update for that app while you get the update hours later.
it's normal. That's happened to me pre-nexus 5..might be an availability thing or just need to refresh the connection to tip off the fact that you need the update.
I usually restart my phone at least two times a day just to keep the system running smoothly and make sure apps close out so it's no biggie to me
