I recently tried out the evo notification bar morph but decided to just go back to the stock notification bar afterwords using the stock morph. After a few hours my market would FC anytime I would try to update or install apps from it. I tried restoring the market from Titanium and I tried to fix permissions using the rom manager (I stupidly forgot to nandroid. I know lesson learned.) but that didn't work. Then I remembered something from my G1 days and a problem with metamorph not working with a market update. So I uninstalled the market update and it started working again.
To do that just
Settings > Applications > Manage Applications. Hit Menu > Filters > All. Then scroll down to Market. NOT THE MARKET UPDATER. Then just hit uninstall updates it'll give you a message. Just hit OK and then there you go. The market should work.
Hopefully this can help anybody that runs into this problem.
Also sorry if I posted this in the wrong section. It happened to my while using metamorh so I figured I should post it here for anybody else that runs into the problem while using metamorph.
Feel free to move or delete if its in the wrong section.
hi, tonight i've just flashing a custom ROM for my p500 everything works fine.
but after i finished setting my google account, the market suddenly start downloading all apps that i've installed on my previous ROM, without asking my permission, and yet i cant find any way to cancel it.. even i have turn off my data access but the downloading notification is still in the status bar, and it'll resume as soon as i re-enable my data access...
of course i've done googling and find many solutions like:
1) force closing the market --> not working
2) clearing the market cache and data --> not working
3) go to the apps page that currently downloading trough the market, to find a cancel button, but it's not there
4) opening "my apps" list on the market, all the apps that currently downloading was there but their status haven't "installed" yet of course... but the cancel button was also not there....
how do I get rid of this?
it really pisses me off

Does anyone else have issues with downloading and installing apps sometimes? I find I can update already installed apps but when I see an app I like it will hang and say please wait iirc and an orb will just rotate constantly.... Previous version works but as soon as you remove update in applications it works but then instantly the market is updated to New version.
Yup, it takes ages for the new market to load apps, sometime it gets stuck the way you mention and i need to delete data and market cache in order for it to load apps in the market or installed apps. Hopefully they will fix it in a new update.

Is anyone else having issues with the play store? I can't download any apps or update them... It says "downloading..." and never gets to the part where it shows how much has been downloaded. I restarted my phone... No luck. My Internet works fine, the browser works great, but no Play Store. Is this a widespread issue? I'm on Charmeleon ROM. Had no issues before with it, and I've had it for days. Thanks everyone!

No dice... Tried that twice now. I've never experienced this before. Pretty irritating! :/

i was having the same problem until now it just started working out of no where all i did was power off. then hold down volume down and power until you get to the hboot screen chose fastboot then reboot.
I wiped everything and flashed a new ROM for the heck of it. Works perfect now. I have a feeling it was just Google Play being a brat. I think the timing was coincidental. But who knows?

You had luck. Wife's HTC Desire stucks in "downloading...".
I tried:
- kill, clear data, uninstall updates (Google Play/Market, Downloading service, Market updating service)
- change user password
- restore phone to default
- revert phone/flash to system default (using HTC updater, then applied HTC's oficial OTA updates)
And Google Play is not working. Big issue is that more services are not working, including Maps, Chrome2phone. After resetting phone to default few minutes is Market working (until it downloaded update to Google Play).
But "Talk" is working fine. Home WiFi (no restriction) or 3G. Second Android phone on same WiFi and same 3G works without issues.
I've had that a few times but just hit cancel update then hit update again then it worked. I am more frustrated that apps don't download/update when u leave the market before they are done or turn your screen off

I too am having same issues. I can get Play to run but it will lock up past that. Browser blank as well. Wiped cache and etc, issue repeats.

I had the same issue too, stuck at the "Downloading...." so i tried to uninstall the update through "System > Application > All > Google play store" but it got stock again while uninstalling the google play. so i used titanium backup and did "Wipe data" (Do not uninstall from titanium backup since it will remove the whole thing not just the update)
then went back to "System > Application > All > Google play store" and did an uninstall. so it removed the update only.
I started the program and got the message telling me that google market is now called google play store... blah blah..
the version became 3.5.x (cannot remember) and it worked great...
after a while it updated it self to the latest (3.8.17) at the time of writing this, and it still works and I can download and install apps.
:good:
BTW, i am have a Samsung Galaxy Note (from AT&T) running 4.0.4
(i reached this thread while googling for the problem, but hopefully the same solution will apply to other phones)
Also: clear media cache
Another thing that helped me with this problem (different device, admittedly) is to clear the media cache (Settings -> Apps -> All -> Media Storage -> Clear Data). You wouldn't think that this would affect the Google Play store, but I have a large side-loaded MP3 collection & sometimes media crawler problems affect just about everything.
just follow this
do this
Make sure you've cleared the cache and data of both the Google Play store app and the download manager. Here's how:
Visit Settings > Apps on your device
View All apps
Select the Google Play store app, and then tap Clear data and Clear cache.
Then, select Download manager and tap Clear data and Clear cache.

YES! Can't install/update apps
I am having this same issue. My HTC Droid Incredible 2 has been rooted, and running Gingerbread 2.3.4. Google Play store was operating as it should. Today I installed a build of Cyanogenmod 10 (update-cm-9.0.0-RC0-vivow-BRACKETKANG-04_08_12-signed-v.3) with Jellybean (Android 4.1.1). I flashed the corresponding gapps download (gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip) from cyanogenmod.org. This is the thread I used to do this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1779986
I have re-flashed the gapps, cyanogenmod, and even tried various other cyanogenmod and gapp versions. I can not download or update apps. I accepted the terms, etc and it says downloading indefinitely. I have tried emptying the cache, force closing, reinstalling Google Play. I have also downloaded older versions of the app. Currently, I have version 3.9.16 installed. I have been using clockworkmod to install cyanogenmod and gapps, if that is helpful information.
I have scoured the internet looking for a solution. I am not allowed to post on the above mentioned thread, I guess I haven't posted on XDA enough in order to have access. If there is anymore information I can provide that would make it easier/possible to solve this problem, please let me know!
Thank you very much,

Thanks this has worked seemlessly

settings> applications> manage applications> all> market updater:
My market updater app is grayed out except for move to sd option. How do I get this to start running again. Hopefully once it becomes active again, Market will automatically update to Google Play. Anyone with GB, is your Market Updater active or grayed out? And did your Market app automatically update to Google Play?
Try clearing data and cache of the market app from that same list, restart tablet and wait to see if market updates
If not, you might need to upgrade

Ok good. I did what u suggested and the Market Updater app is up and running again. It's Force Stop button became available again. Market hasn't updated to Play yet, but at least I know its active and possibly looking for the Google Play update. Eventually, if this doesn't work, I may have to install the Play Store apk manually. I hate to take the manual route because it doesn't feel "official" and I don't want to wreck the tablet with bugs and glitches.
