Can't download anything in market - everything stuck at "Starting Download..."

Can't download anything in market - everything stuck at "Starting Download..."
Okay so recently I have run into a problem where apps won't download from market -- they are just stuck at "Starting download...".
I searched to see if this is a common problem (seems to happen to a good number of people) and I tried the solutions posted. I did factory reset, deleted cached, tried to login via different account, etc. etc. -- none of the solutions work. At best, after a factory reset for cache clear, an app or two will download before this problem occurs again. I have even tried upgrading to 2.2 market but it doesn't help.
Anyone know of any good solutions for this?
Thanks!

Rebooting the phone has always worked for me. It's happened to nearly all Android devices to someone at one point.

How good is your signal? I can't download anything with 2 bars on edge. Which is what I get at home.

Rebooting doesnt help and it is not a signal issue. Altho i was having some connectivity issues last night but my net works just fine now.

you can try canceling, and restarting the download, always works for me
also, downgrade back to 2.1, i heard 2.2 had problems

Clear the download manager and market app cache in settings/application manually. Reboot.

Thanks for all the help guys but nothing is working. I even tried reflashing JFD and upgrading to JI6 but still it doesn't work. It seems the first time I launch Market everything downloads fine but after that nothing works.
Also, a weird thing happens: Market starts downloading all these apps automatically - apps I never told it to download - but all those apps come back as downloaded unsuccessfully.

Someone did this with success and it worked for me too
I have managed to sort this now - here's what I did:
Go into settings - applications - manage applications- scoll down to market & long touch to open. Clear cache AND Uninstall updated. It will ask for confirmation and then uninstall. I then went back to market and Bluetooth file transfer downloaded and installed with no probs. Hope this helps anyone else with same problem.

Have you tried going to Settings>Applications>Manage applications and locate Market then chose Clear Cache and Uninstall Updates.

There is a problem with doing that: I see no market under "Manage Applications"

Thanks but still no-go =(. I even tried clearing data of Market via Titanium Backup and still won't work. Oh well, my replacement phone is coming this week, so may as well wait it out.
Thanks for all the help, everyone.

That sucks man... i have had the same problem as you and got it working with those steps . Hope you have no problems with the replacement.

Try to login to gtalk and it shall do the tricks

Select option to show all from manage applications, you can get this by selecting the menu button >> filter and show all while in manage applications screens.

I've run into this with my phone (rooted stock), it's beyond frustrating and I have no idea what I do or might be running that might cause the issue. I was going to do yet another wipe when I found the below info on a google support forum. Nothing I had tried besides the reset would fix my market until I did the following:
Under manage applications, filter show all, then:
Checkin Service- clear data
Download Manager- clear data
Google Apps- clear data
Google Talk Service- clear data
Market- clear cache

I have the same issue. I have tried almost everything. I found a work around. I turn off WiFi and 3g on and it will start on 3g. If that doesn't work I keep 3g on WiFi off and restart fhe downloads, and it allways starts, even group downloads in 2.2.
Not a solution but I can at least get the downloads started.
I might try the post above me and give that a go.

What usually works is going to Menu>Applications>Running Services and then stopping the the Gtalk service. Then reopen the market

this also happens to me sometimes. sometimes it will download but sometimes it won't, it's only saying "starting download" but it it's taking a long time in that status.

Fire 10 (2017) - Google play apps won't open due to sd card error

Hello,
Yesterday, several apps I downloaded through the google play store (sideloaded weeks ago, never had any issues) and one from the amazon app store are grayed out and I get an error when I try opening them that says "SD card not available" and goes on to tell me the SD card where the app installed isn't available. I've never had an SD card in the tablet. I can click "download again," but of course that brings me to the amazon app store.
I have tried re-installing, force stopping and clearing caches, restarting, and updating apps. The weird thing is I can get to the apps if I take another route in ie. if I go on google maps (not affected by issue) and go to a restaurant's website, it opens in Chrome (app affected by issue). Then, Chrome runs normal.
If it makes any difference, the apps that don't work are Chrome, Gmail, YouTube, Memrise, Hulu, and Google Sheets.
Thanks in advance for any help!

I had the same problem today with Aquamail. I went to another launcher that I had installed through the Play Store, and uninstalled it from there. Then a reinstall worked. And then the icon for the app appeared in both launchers. I have no idea why it said it was an error with the SD card. There's just some bug with whatever new update they gave us. But that's the only app I had it occur on.

Hmm, I tried uninstalling the app in every way I can think of - including through the play store - and no dice. I have also found that when I uninstall the app, the icon doesn't go away. When I uninstall from the play store and try to uninstall from the home screen, it says the app wasn't found in the list of installed apps. But when I tap to open, it gives the same SD card error.
I'm still really puzzled by the fact this isn't limited to google play apps...does that mean it's something with the OS?

The way I uninstalled was by going to another launcher (total launcher) . You tried that also? I only had it happen with that one app, and it was from the Google Play Store. As far as why it's happening, I really don't know. But it seems to have happened to me today, which makes me think it had something to do with an update either yesterday or today.

Oh no I haven't tried another launcher - didn't know what that was until I just looked.
I also notice that every app I update grays out now. Newly installed apps don't appear on the home screen. However, they all open fine if I open it through the app store or another functioning app. So I'm wondering if I uninstall it through total launcher if it won't even appear on the home screen once re-installed.

How do you install a launcher? I installed one, but when I hit the home button, it brings me back to the default Amazon launcher.

I just did it through the play store.
Unfortunately, this didn't solve my problem either.

It sounds like this won't help you, but I'll point you to it anyway. Look for the XDA thread called New: Any Launcher, No Root (Launcher Hijack V3). This talks about installing other launchers and hijacking the home button. Sorry that I can't think of anything else. You might try I factory reset and start over, but you may not want to do that, and it may not solve your problem.

Sorry, I didn't see one of your posts. I have also had the problem where anything I install does not show on the fire launcher home screen. But it will show on other launchers. This started yesterday or today for me, so something in one of the updates caused this. If you use another launcher it will probably solve the problem of not seeing the apps on a home screen. But you said it did not help your problem with those that you cannot delete. Evie is a nice launcher that is simple to use, so you might start with that one.

I think I was wrong in what I told you before. I thought I was able to uninstall aquamail which said something about requiring the SD card. But it just happened to me with a different app, and I get that sd card error. So I think I was misled because I uninstalled it and then reinstalled over in the other launcher. Then when I looked back on the fire launcher, the icon was there and it could be clicked. But if you really want to get rid of it and not reinstall, I don't see a way to do that yet. Sorry to have been on the wrong track.

Okay, I learned a little more. I'm not sure if all of these steps are necessary. But I went to settings, apps and games, All, Home Pages. That's the fire launcher. I cleared its cache and data and force stopped. Then when it is launched again, the apps that couldn't be deleted are now no longer showing. However, if you had arranged all the icons in some kind of order, now it is all alphabetical. I also think that newly installed apps do show, but I haven't really done much testing with it yet. I'm mostly sticking with another launcher. So I don't really care about the fire launcher, but once in awhile, I might like to use it. So it's good to see that we can clean these things up.
EDIT: Ignore what I said about it now being alphabetical. It seems to be in the order that apps are added.

Got the same Problem now, but on a new Fire HD8!
Apps were running fine yesterday or a day before and now 3 apps installed from Google Play Store are Grayed out and give the error "SD-Card not Available" and i should insert the same SD-Card... (never had extra any inside). And its only Apps from Play Store. All three Apps are Smarthome apps: Philips HUE, Kasa and Yonomi. The funny Thing.. If I open The Google Playstore and and search my app, then i can either deinstall or open app. And if i open app from there it works...he starts app with no Problem.
Curious this happens to others at the same time...
Maybe helpful for determining Problem: Files i Used to install the Google Playstore:
com.google.android.gsf.login_5.1-1743759-22_minAPI21(nodpi)_apkmirror.com.apk
com.google.android.gsf_5.1-1743759-22_minAPI22(nodpi)_apkmirror.com.apk
com.google.android.gms_11.5.09_(240-164803921)-11509240_minAPI21(arm64-v8a,armeabi-v7a)(nodpi)_apkmirror.com.apk

Would be great if someone found out the Problem and a Fix for that.
Thnx

No, i am using the Stock Launcher and didnt do any changes to that. Besides that i do have the Option to deinstall the Apps and the Apps are still running fine, but only when opened from Play Store.
And i dont think deleting cache or forcing stop of App will do any good as long as the Apps itslf still work.
Yea, there must have been some minor update. He showed me something in system updates, but OS is still 5.6.0.0

I'm talking about clearing cache, data, and force stop of the Home Pages app itself. I'm not talking about the apps that you installed. Try it and see what happens.

Looked around and found this from User "Ms_Carla":

> I had this sd error message pop up when I tried to open a couple of apps. This is what I did to get things working okay:
> 1. Went to Settings > Apps & Games > Manage All Applications > Swiped to the 'All' tab > Scrolled to Appstore.
> 2. I clicked on Force Stop > Selected Ok on message that popped up > Clicked on clear cache > Clicked on clear Data.
> 3. I then shutdown the normal way and restarted my tablet. Today, so far, I have not had the sd card error message or anymore greyed out icons.
Did exactly the same steps above and now works fine again. Grayed out Apps are back. <3
Lets hope the best and that it stays like that

Well not exactly the same... In Your Post you say to Stop/End the Launcher.. Thats different to Appstore.
I dont like fondling around with launchers... And i dont want other Launchers than Stock or missing/deleted Icons And Installing other Launcher to fix a problem is no alternative

You are right that I overlooked the part about App Store. I assumed that person was telling you to do the same thing that I did.
You don't have to install other launchers. I was just giving an example of how you could see the apps and do what you needed to do by installing another launcher. I wrote that part before I realized what the "fix" was for the stock launcher. But if you want the original stock launcher to work, you will need to do the steps that I mentioned. Clear cache and data and then force stop for Home Pages, which is the name of the stock launcher

I had the same problem, your advice:
"settings, apps and games, All, Home Pages. That's the fire launcher. I cleared its cache and data"
pulled out all the problems, thank you. I had three programs, including PLAY STORE, give that error message and then grey out and become unclickable and unable to be removed. I had did a factory reset three times in two days, and then couldn't get PLAY STORE or any apps downloaded through it to show up on the HOME screen. your suggestion of clearing the "Home Pages" cache and data brought everything working properly. Thank you.

Glad I could help. It's happened to me a couple more times. I learned that the easiest way is just doing a force stop on the Home Pages app. Clearing cache and data means a little more work when the launcher comes back up (it wants you to step through some instructional screens, but I think you can exit out of them) . But if you don't have another launcher to switch to, I don't think you can do the force stop while you are actually using Home Pages as the home launcher. I can't be sure about that because I am rooted now, so the behavior might be different if I was not rooted.
Clearing cache and data probably works for all cases, so maybe that's the way to go. I've made it a little more confusing by adding the detail that I just did in that first paragraph!

Slowly does it

Then, Chrome runs normal.
If it makes any difference, the apps that don't work are Chrome, Gmail, YouTube, Memrise, Hulu, and Google Sheets.

I had this problem. Tried everything to no avail
But I left my fire 10 on all day as I use alexa a lot and the greyed out icons slowly came back.
Restarted the tablet and they where greyed out again but they came back quicker this time.
I know it's a pain to leave it on but something seems to be running slow in the os,
Not a permanent fix but it may help until an update os comes out

Cannot download apps from Play Store

I have done a factory reset on my tablet running the latest update. That made the downloads work for awhile. They stopped working and I tried the clearing of the cache and data for the Google play store and Google play store services. That worked for awhile too. Now I'm back to not being able to download updates or new apps from the play store. Has anyone else encountered this issue and successfully fixed it?

You can open Play Store and start the updates or dowload, but the app is waiting eternally to receive data? If so, it happened for me once also.
Just google for the problem and you'll find official help from google about this. They give several options, and there was one that made it for me. But i can't remember which one. I think it was to remove updates from google services, and not just clean data. And after that it was working fine again.
But try to google for that, 'cause they state several possible causes. It seems to be not a rare problem.

I'm facing the same problems. Also did a complete reset. I tried to install a beta version of Play Services which fixed it for a while.
It's not predictable for me, sometimes it works, sometimes not. After a restart updates work more often.

I had the same issue and I did factory reset to my table twice, later I found in some forum (I forgot the site, sorry) that a simple quick solution to that without factory reset was to enable / disable the Battery saver feature, sounds crazy I know, but it works, it also works when my tablet doesn't want to download any file, Just would like to have the issue permanently solved from an update tough...
Good Luck!

Thank you SO much! I've been dealing with this problem off and on for months, and had accepted that I would just have to remove all of the data for the Play Store and Services and reboot every time. I just tried enabling and disabling Battery Saver and it worked perfectly. This really makes a difference.

» I was passing for the same problem, after a research on the lenovo forum I found the solution. Go on security and desible all device administrators (ex. "find my device", "google pay" and etc.) and after restart the tablet, probably will back to download. It works on my yoga book. I hope to help. give me a feed back if works. Bye.

I don't know whitch worked - new Play Store in general or the second thing which I did - I've turned off battery optimisation for Goolge system apps and the general Google search app - worked as a charm (Packet instaler, Google services framework, google partner setup, google one time init). Apps are downloading like crazy, automatically or not, my battery performance was not affected.
Hope it's gonna work for you as it did for me
Cheers!

Google Play Store Crash or Force Close Error Fix

guys uncheck & disable PlayStore and PlayService app in boost+ battery optimizion and your problem fixed
boost+ change resulation to lower of app in battery optimizion mode and new version of play store have problem with this mode
if problem in downloads of apps disable : Download and downloadmanager app in boost+

This fix didn't work for me.
Google play store would not work for me after deselecting this from the optimize apps in boost+. So I have now uninstalled the boost+ app and I still cannot get google play store to work.
I've tried clearing the cache in play store and play store services but no success there also.
I've also uninstalled updates for google play so I'm now at version 8.3.41.U-all (0) (FP) 170066753
Is there anything else I can try?

I had similar issue, so what I done, unistalled play store updates, then downloaded latest play store apk and installed it. Problem was fixed.

So far, I've tried everything in this thread other than the aptoid suggestion. The error keeps coming back and I'm slowly getting more and more apps that are also crashing. This seems to be since the Oreo update.
I've even done a full factory reset and the errors started coming back less than a week later.
Still no luck in finding a way to make this stop. HTC suggested rolling back to 7.1.1 but this will still factory reset everything. Then I have the added issue of not being on the latest update, leaving me without the most up-to-date security patches.
I've always loved HTC phones (especially the U11) but I'm very fast losing faith.

Did you tried to reconnect your Google account?

Ive removed it turn off and on the device and logged in again

Similar thing happened to me today. I uninstalled Google Play Store updates in the app manager to get my list of installed apps to show again. Then I had to reboot my phone once to keep any detached apps from accidentally updating in the Play Store (YouTube). After finally updating Play Store, I haven't had any issues so far.
