Troubleshooting Download Issues
Download stuck at “Starting download...”
If your application has stalled at "Starting download", please use the following troubleshooting steps to help complete your download:
Confirm that your device is on the list of supported devices, which means it's supported for use with Android Market. If your device is not on this list, please contact your manufacturer with questions.
For paid applications, confirm your credit card information is up to date by signing in to your Google Wallet account.
Cancel and restart the download.
Restart your phone, then try downloading the app again.
Confirm there is connectivity to either wireless or cellular networks on your device, and contact your mobile service provider if you aren't connected.
Try your download(s) using both wireless and cellular network connections, and ensure firewalls aren’t blocking access to ports required for Android Market (TCP and UDP 5228).
Make sure you've cleared the cache and data of both the Market app and the Download manager. Here's how:
Visit Menu > Settings > Applications > Manage applications
Tab over to "All"
Select the Market app, and then tap "Clear data" and "Clear cache;" then, select Download manager and tap "Clear data" and "Clear cache"
You must be able to successfully sign into Google Talk to download apps from Android Market. Make sure your device is signed into Google Talk by following these steps:
Go to your phone’s app launcher, and press the Talk app.
If you’re already signed into Talk, press Menu, and then touch Sign out.
Launch Talk again to sign in.

[Q] Market Apps won't download

So I'm not sure what's going on with the android market, but no apps will download anymore for me. It gets stuck on 'starting download' and the progress bar just sits there and doesn't move. I didn't notice it until I started trying to flash some ROMs but even when I have flashed back to my nandroid backup it still doesn't work.
Things I've tried...
Clearning Market Cache
Force Quiting Market
Rebooting
Clearing phone cache
Still no luck...anyone have a solution for me? Thanks
If you are rooted I would use Rom Manager and Fix Permissions. I've had a few apps that wouldn't update nor download.

Thanks...I am rooted and I just tried that...NO LUCK Somebody please help me out, this is really irritating me!
Snap...I think I figured out what is wrong. I might have deleted (somehow) the actual Market App. I have the Icon on my homescreen that connects, but when I go to Manage Applications, I only see the Market Update App. Does this make sense, is this possible?
Simple fix. Just log onto google talk. It should work after you log in. dont know why, but it just does.
Sent from my SGH-T959
Another fix
1. go to your settings
2. select "applications"
3. then select "manage applications"
4. press menu and select "filter" then "All"
5. scroll down to:
a) "Checkin Service" then select "clear data"
b) "Download Manager" then select "clear data"
c) "Google Apps" then "clear data"
d) "Google Talk Service" then select "clear data"
e) " Market" then select "clear cache"
Thanks guys...I'll note your advise. I just installed a new ROM and the new market app came with it, so all is good right now.
I've had the same issue.
Igor's solution is right. More specifically its the Download Manager.
Clear Data and re-attempt download, it should go through.
I've had the same problem, but only at the office and then only if I am connected to the WiFi network here.
I also tried using "Connectify" on my laptop, but since the laptop is tied to the corporate network, the problem happens there too...
Most likely the problem is that our network nazis block ports required.
Turning off WiFi fixes the problem here.
I have the exact same problem just as the OP. When I try to update or download apps, it says invalid package and fails to install. When I try to update a file, it deletes the original and fails to install anything.
I did all this and still, it won't work:
1. go to your settings
2. select "applications"
3. then select "manage applications"
4. press menu and select "filter" then "All"
5. scroll down to:
a) "Checkin Service" then select "clear data"
b) "Download Manager" then select "clear data"
c) "Google Apps" then "clear data"
d) "Google Talk Service" then select "clear data"
e) " Market" then select "clear cache"
I can only install apps/games if I download it from another source other than the Android Market.

[Q] Can't complete downloads from Android Market

Hey, I just rooted my NC with AutoNooter 3.0. It works great except one part. When I start a download from the Android Market it tells me it will download, shows a bar that says, "Starting Download" and doesn't go any further. Other than re-booting, I haven't tried anything else except opening Google Talk, which won't authenticate. Any ideas for fix? Please be detailed (I'm a noobie and old...sorry!) Steve
I have the same problem with market download. Freeze at Starting download and google talk failed at authentication. I even installed different system but can't get it back to work. Please help!

What ROM are you guys running?
Using Honeycomb, having the same issues. Apps that are known to work on HC fail to download in the market
Try:
open Settings --> Applications --> Manage Applications --> All --> Market
Clear cache, and then Force Close
open Settings --> Applications --> Manage Applications --> All --> Google Services Framework
Clear data, and then Force Close
Reboot
You can also try using the Honeycomb gapps installer v2 in the development forum. This fixed all my market and google talk issues.
Thanks ecomemail. Th nook color has settings but doesn't allow for that option. It makes sense to clear this out, but...
Same problem here with auto-nootered 1.1. Freezes at "Starting download..."
Installed new market, didn't help...
I have this problem when I'm on my work's wireless. It's an authenticated network via browser login (it's our guest network). Even after logging into the network, my marketplace downloads hang on "Starting download." Once I connect to any other wifi network, my downloads complete.

Tried this fix, no luck.
Edit: I found a solution to my problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11545846&postcount=400
"To fix market download problems I force stopped Market, cleared its cache and data. Did the same for Google Framework Services. Then in ROM Manager I fixed permissions, rebooted to recovery. In recovery I formatted cache. I got the four unable to mount cache messages that others reported, but the Market works."
Try getting MarketEnabler from the Market.
On the Actual tab click save current settings.
Then click on the Settings List
Hold down on [us] T-Mobile and make a selection.
May have to reboot and then try the market again.
Hope this works.
Im having this problem on the latest CM7 rom. None of the solutions posted have helped. Any suggestions?

Market Downloads hanging

DL09 sc rom (cannot upgrade to eb01 because of Heytell not working), but nothing in the market will download. It says downloading, but nothing happens.
If you haven't already, try going to Settings -> Applications -> Manage applications -> All and clearing data and cache on the Market app. Then try again.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Thanks! I will try that. I did notice that I am missing Google Services Framework? Where did it go? Weird. How do I re-install it without having to reset data?
Not sure if this will help you or not, but I have a similar problem (still on DI01) every week and this seems to help me when I'm having this issue. Some of these may not be necessary, but I'm really not sure what's applicable and what isn't (if anything).
1. Open Settings.
2. Select Applications.
3. Select Manage Applications.
4. Select Market (You may have to press Menu > Filter > All to see it)
5. Select Clear cache.
6. Back out of the screen and select Download Manager.
7. Select Clear data.
8. Also clear data for Google Apps, Google Talk (both Service & Storage) and Checkin Service.

Thanks for the help. It's my daughter's phone and she is out of state and she has a Mac so trying to fix this has been a challenge. Hopefully your steps will fix it.
This has been resolved. It must have been something in the theme. I had my daughter re-flash the DL09 super clean rom and all is well. Thanks for all of the suggestions.

Go to your aps setting and fing google framwork service and Clear data and cache, force stop and restart your phone, that could sort out the problem, i had a simler problem and this fix worked for me.
Everything I read points to it being probably some kind of wifi issue. Does it always happen or only when you're connected to a particular wifi network?
I have the same problem, i cleared app, but don't solution my problem

try this, but bear in mind that i'm using a custom ROM so it might be a little different with you. Go to Settings > Wireless and network > Mobile networks > Access Point Names (or APN). Now select the APN that u are using. (I chose MTN Data since i'm MTN. Now go to "Proxy". There should be a number in there, delete everything that's in there and leave that field blank. Go to "Port" and clear everything as well. It worked for me.hope it works for u too.

Hi, I have the same problem on an ASUS tablet - TF700, only it does not have this option, its wifi only. What can I do?

Google Play Error 941

Hello there XDA community,
I'm not sure if this is a relatively new problem with Google Play, but I was compelled to share this with you - as I've spent hours trying to get a solution that worked on a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (GT-P7510) - and here's my forwarded offering:
Problem
When Android Market updates to Google Play, it fails with error code 941 and all my apps crash within a minute of starting them. The apps start working again if I remove the Google Play update. As soon as I open the Android Marketplace again it tries to update to Google Play again and the problem comes straight back!
Cause
I personally am unsure - but there is definately a compatibility issue with Google Play and the Android Marketplace, of which Google are still working on - hence the reply below...

"A lone crusader in a dangerous world..."
Also once you have done all this, use a root explorer and go to system apps and either rename market updater.apk to apk.bak or just delete it. This will keep the market (play store, hate the name) from trying to update and thus not having to redo all this every time you download something.
I know this is an old thread but thanks it worked for me!
Error 941
Hi KnighRider,
i bought a new Galaxy Tab S 10.5 yesterday. when i try to download a new app from google play store, it gives me error ""app name" cannot be downloaded due to an error.
