Did you uninstall your apps before doing a factory reset ? You should have reecieved a popup message that you would be able to reinstall the paid app if you did an uninstall... I have done this .... buit have not done a factory reboot.

When you look in "MY Downloads" now with the app uninstalled is the app still listed ... ?

I am assuming you did not backup all your apps to the SDcard prior to doing the factory-Restore... ?

Also, from your post you appear to have "Rooted" your phone...
you should restore your phone to RC33 (not-rooted)... then reload all your apps and then you should be able to root your phone again with all you apps in place.

Well I never did factory reset I just did what the guide did that also wiped everything out, I connected him he says if I cant get it to work to contact him agian and he will send me the package..but I still wondering if its a phone error since happens to another app or two. and no i did not back up my apps I got them off market after looking in my downloads

Then, since this problem, Have you reconfigured your phone to a current NON-Rooted one?
By doing that you should be able to get all your apps back.
After that, you can re-root your phone.

Hopefully you know that default apps, downloaded free apps, and paid apps are each in different directories... and of course need to be in their appropriate directory.

I wanted to share my "fix." I tried all of the suggestions: turn wifi off then on, turn airplane mode off then on, turn google talk off then on, clear chache, clear data... None of them worked. So I went on my computer and created a new gmail address. Then, following the advice I found on this post (https://supportforums.motorola.com/...993BE02966614A04FA1E35A445414B5C.node0#102508) I cleared the gmail account and set up the new one. Downloads worked perfectly! Hope this helps others...

The above solutions didn't work for me, but I was able to solve the problem in another manner. My phone wasn't downloading apps b/c it wasn't recognizing SD card. I went to settings> SD card> Unmount. Then, turned off my phone and removed the SD card. After waiting a few seconds, I replaced the SD card and restarted my phone. Once the SD card properly loaded, everything worked perfectly again.
