Downloading Market Apps Problem

[Nybras]

For some reason when trying to download an App from the market it just sits on "Starting Download..." even when connected to wifi etc. Its been like this for a couple of days now. I've tried everything but can't seem to get it working.
Anyone got any ideas?

Open google talk and let it sign in. That should fix it

I had that problem once when I removed one of the system critical apps after rooting my phone. Reflashing your ROM should do the trick. Unless you're on vanilla then I have no clue...

I solved the very same problem by changing my email address back to @googlemail.com rather than @gmail.com, when i did this my downloads instantly kicked in, hope this helps some folk.

Good idea; switching between the two has messed it up for a lot of people.

i just hope google fix this problem soon coz I want a gmail account rather than googlemail - much easier to give out to people!

I think emails sent to @gmail will still go to you anyway. That's how mines always worked.

I've got the same issue. Last week I was in Android Market and I wanted to download a few applications, which just sit on Downloads. I tried it many times, no way. Then I made a few factory resets. Now I can even sign up with my ...@gmail.com account. Because of it I cannot use any Google related application such as Android, GMail or GTalk.

Any idea?

So, I did that and it hasn't worked. Now I can't login to any Google account on my Hero using either username (@gmail or @googlemail); it says it ;can't establish a reliable data connection to the server' yet Internet is fine on phone and is connected to Wi-Fi connection. I have tried to find the option in Gmail on the Net to change it back to Googlemail (though I never actually actively changed it in the first place), but can't find it in the place the Google help tells me it is!

Any help or ideas that aren't a factory reset greatly appreciated people!

Thanks!

I'm in the same boat.
