3g is crap for downloading big apps, but 4g is getting rolled out over the next few years so things will be way better then

same thing on my device (desire HD with miui 1.4.1) i cant download any app.. now im on work so i cant test downloading it over wifi. I hope that this will work.
Has any one a solution for this problem?
greets

problem solved:
if you are on miui rom go to the downloads app , hit the menu button, and klick on download via mobile network. after that it will work on market to

I had this happen for the longest time.... the best thing I've found to fix it.... boot into recovery... and FIX PERMISSIONS. And there will be a straggler or two that still wont install.... uninstall the OLD version of the software your updating.... then install. Works like a dream.

The other weird thing I've found that helps.... get near your wireless routed and wave your phone around it for 10 seconds or so

Yes, although usually I need to open up the market, find the app, and cancel the download first, before trying again.

Same here. I get a lot of package file invalid. Eventually it works but someTimes it's so messed up my phone reboots.

I post this a lot, and it seems to help people (cough, search):
open titanium backup
go to market
wipe data (twice if you like)
in TB, menu>more>market doctor
fix the links, if any from market doctor
open the market
accept
download apps
good?
Thank you forgot to search first sorry...

I'm using Z's 2.2 ROM with Black Market that came with it
Had the same problem, used flashtool and had to reflash 2.1 to my device! Working now!
Anything I can do like reflash gapps?

Search up "Pendo" for the latest market and attempt to install it. Fixed any problems I ever had.
Back to stock.
Sign in once.
Reboot into recovery.
Clear cash. Ha
Flash new market.
Reboot.
I'm running the black market.

google talk is already running...
i tried installing black market (i just downloaded from a website) and still does not work
Having the same problem here, nothing works for me.
All of a sudden, yesterday gmail and market stopped working. I reflashed and market is still not working as it should.
Anybody?
hope they can help you
i use the plabkmarket instead of the original one
because the market is forbidden in sudan for some political sh*t
I had to use flashtool to flash the entire OS back onto the phone, only after flashing, rooting, and reloading everything back onto my phone was I able to get it to work again! Gotta be some weird Market glitch or something. Has happened twice to me, this fixes it every time!

I just noticed that you were also the OP to the other thread I replied to. Just a word of caution, try to post everything on 1 thread. The mods may not like all these different threads.
Anyway, check out my response to your rooting issue thread.
EDIT: Forgot to answer your question on this one LOL. I would reflash your ROM.

Maybe try uninstalling market updates and cleaning the cache in app management?

He is using 2.1 so he can't clear the cache. He would have to use root explorer, remove vending.apk from /system/app, reboot then reinstall the market.
@shahkam I was doing some test on updating the market on 2.1 but things didn't work out. If you want to stay with 2.1 the only thing I can suggest is use erickwill's custom 2.1 which already has tweaks but it's based on the stock 2.1 rom.

Yeah anyways i go back to 2.2 and i tried his rom also and got.same market issue it is because of the new market :/

Interesting...are you having trouble browsing the web using 3g/2g???
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Being blocked maybe?!
This doesn't seem an error on your rom, this seems more likely that something is blocking your download.
Not sure if this is your case scenario but i can't download any apk and others from my university.
If you are inside some company network, or something like that this most likely is the reasons.
When the download shows on the top it means your rom is trying to download, but the server may have been blocked, so it will keep trying for a long time, also may give you some small lag during that.
If you can download apk files from other sources it means that they may have blocked only using domain filter or ip filtering.
To be able to access the market doesn't mean that the server isn't blocked, only means that the main domain isn't blocked, i don't which is the server for market downloads so i can't tell you how to check this, but the best way would be to get try multiple wifi hotspots or a home totally not firewalled connection.
If it downloads but doesnt install try unmounting your SD card and download, try again and see what happens.

New Market issue?

I'm having a lot of issues w/ the new Market app. It's not showing a lot of my paid for apps as well as others. Is there some sot of fix? Sorry if this is already a listed issue, I looked around and didn't find anything.
I agree, I myself have been. having issues with the new market even with market enabler turned on
I have been having trouble with it force closing. Wen back to the good old green market.
Market Enabler hasn't fixed anything. I tried several different apk's and none of them worked.

I've found that if you use the market site to download an app that you are missing, they'll show up.

Sent from my T959 using XDA Premium App
If you're having problems installing and updating apps (getting the "Not enough space on this device" error) you will have to empty unused files out of your /cache directory. For some reason, the new Market uses /cache to download files to install apps instead of a folder in /data.
I'm simply having an issue with Market not showing a lot of my paid for apps.

I'm the only one with no problem with the new market. It loads even better for me.

Same here. It's been perfect for me.
Can't blame me tho just cuz I was the first one to upload the apk once I got the update lol.
But for real, it just works well for me. I'm sure you've done this but have you tried going to the applications settings and clearing data ? IDK, maybe may help. Otherwise, I'm no help. Sorry
