downloading apps problems

[akstyle450]

okay, so ever since i tried a ROM earlier, ive had this problem when i went back to 2.1 using nandroid. when i go to update an app, it just says starting download and never changes, its really frustrating especially since the app is launcherpro >_<
example:

what am i suppose to do to fix it?

I have this issue periodically too. I thought it had to do with my current ROM, but now I think the problem is on the actual market's end. Eventually the apps will download whether you just let it sit on "starting download..." or if you cancel the download and retry it minutes/hours/days later...

Well it must be something acting up with this right now because i still cannot download anything. I went to 2.2 earlier and it worked just fine. But i like my 2.1 for right now

go to settings/manage apps/market/then clear the data and cache

 

[akstyle450]

theres only a cache option.
and that doesnt even do anything but make loading things faster

i don't know how it works but i was having the same problem when i loaded up bbv.04 with blue electric theme and i did that and it worked

im wondering if reverting from 2.2 back to 2.1 is the issue

 

[furbymac]

could be.....have you cleared your cache yet and tried again??

 

[akstyle450]

as in wiping the cache partition?

 

[furbymac]

no the clear cahce under the market app

 

[akstyle450]

yeah ive done that plenty of times

I've had this issue myself for the last....week. I've tried clearing the cache for the Market, I've tried the "uninstall update" button for the Market, stopping the download and starting it again, toggling WiFi on and back off, toggling airplane mode on and off, turning the phone off and on, pulling the battery..... nothing has worked.

Rooted Moto Droid running 2.1. I really don't want to do a factory reset, as I haven't run a backup in a while :\

Edit: Something I just noticed.... when attempting to download a new application, the download icon doesn't appear at the top, nor does the screen flip to the Downloads screen.

Also, 12 gig free on SDCard, 122 MB free on phone storage.

we'll probably have to wait till the OTA for froyo will come and hopefully that will fix it :\ i have like 20+ updates waiting and it annoys me >_<
