I'm having problems with downloading apps from the market. For about a week now, whenever I try to download or update an app, it downloads fine, but then a couple seconds after starting the install it says 'installation was unsuccessful'. Its doing this for all my apps.

Any help please?

I actually had this last night.

I turned the phone off and then on.

Connected to my wireless at home and tried again.

It then worked fine.

Odd.

When I had problems installing apps from the market, I went to the Downloads tab in the Market app and stopped any ongoing downloads. I then went into Settings, Applications and force-closed the Market app. Then I ran it again and started the downloads again.

Sometimes when there are problems at Google's end, it seems to put the Market app into this "stuck" state. This might or might not be your problem.
