android market not working...help pls

It is 3:12 PM EST in the US and I still cannot download. Message is "starting download" but it never downloads. This must be more than a single problem. Google acknowledged a problem yesterday but this is 24 hours later.

Could AppBrain have anything to do with it ??

Haven't tried today but was able to download reliably last night. try clearing the cache & data in the Download Mgr & Market apps

I have been using it all day with no problems.

Go into you apps from the settings menu. Select all apps. Select market. Click clear cache and click clear data. Reboot your phone. Open the market app and accept the ToU. Try downloading something and see if it works.

dead again for me

doesnt look good for google, this is 4 days uin a row its acting up in the evenings.
they should think about the affect this has with new customers trialling devices and can potentially return the device within 14 days then pickup an iphone as the app experience is diabolical (even though its only been less than a week)

But will hard reset delete everything I've installed on my phone?
Are you sure that Hard and Factory reset aren't the same thing??
I have done the factory reset and it didn't help.

We talked about it in the other thread. Whatever you did was not a hard reset.

A hard reset WILL delete all applications and all settings. Take interest in Titanium Backup and backup stuff and then do a proper hard reset.

Hey is this it?:

If I do it that way,is it OK?
That triangle with the ! sign will only appear if I'm holding down the power and "x" button,then the cam+vol. up.

Otherwise,it just won't I have tried it multiple times.

This video shows another way than I was describing, but in reality, whatever works is good.

The way described in the video did not work on my Milestone. This video is for the Droid.

Here is a video from JKK, it describes some features of the phone and other stuff, but also shows how to go into Recovery Menu.

I have done the Hard reset now. I still have the superuser permission on my phone!! But I really did the HARD reset!! At the triangle with ! sign I have chosen the "wipe data/factory reset" and then rebooted the phone,when reset complete.

Some apps still won't download from market,some will,but it's better than before...


PS.: I really did the HARD reset,I'm sure of it!
