Whenever I try to download just about any app from the market...the download never starts and after some time it just pauses itself. I've been having this issue since yesterday when I tried partitioning my sdcard for apps2sd but failed so reformatted it all back to fat32...tried using different roms and even restored factory image using rsdlite but the problem wont go away...any suggestions?
Connecting with Wifi or 3G or both? What rom are you using?

i got the same problem with you, i am using Eclair-strike-back rom.
Still, I dun have a solution for this problem... just trying to use some Chinese market apps
Delete market cache and restart phone, then try again.
Give these fixes a whirl.
First, if you have Titanium Backup, go into it and hit the settings and then try Market Fix, might be called Market Doctor. See if that works.
If not then try this. Go into phone settings, manage apps, Market, clear cache, clear updates. Then go into Market Updater and clear updates. Close out and open Talk and sign in (Gmail/market UID password), Talk settings, unchecked Automatically Sign In.
Open market and try to download app. Should work. Talk is related to market so if that gets screwed with, it trickles down to other apps.
Rooted my phone just for this app. Great thinking!

I am pulling my hair out here. I followed all the steps to install CM7 including selecting Google Apps. After booting up it prompts me for my Google account info and it signs in.
Now the problems begin...
I cannot install anything from the Market. Everything comes up as download is unsuccessful.
However, if I go to the web market, I can install things from there and it works. I have cleared the market and download cache.

Tried reinstalling GAPPS? I had issues with contacts not appearing and no Google accounts listed. I couldnt even add a Google account. Everything was fixed when I booted into recovery and reapplied the GAPPS. What was weird was I could still make/receive calls and texts.
Yup, tried reinstalling Google Apps via CWM. When it reboots it asked me which apps I want to install, but wont install them.
Yes, I have network connectivity. I can install GMail from web market and get my email to work.

Not sure really. May want to post this in the ROM thread.
May have already done so, but I would wipe to factory, cache, dcache, and see if that fixes it. And I came from the Bionix FROYO build running the froyo bootloader. If thats of any help. Also, applying it in ROM Manager would not work for some reason. So I DLed the ROM and GAPPS to my SD and applied manually in recovery after wiping to factory and everything else.

NO
As for the issue, try going to accounts and sync making sure that background data is enabled and make sure you have things syncing to that account. Then remove the account reboot the phone and re-add it through the accounts and sync.
also try re downloading the package could be corrupt

If that doesn't work try wiping your phone.
Seems like this is with my account as my XOOM is doing the exact same thing.
Called Google for support, they cant figure it out either. Escalating to someone else.

Why not. The ROM thread said to not report bugs...not to ask how to fix something. The thread is full of being asking for help to fix issues.
it is not a CM7 issue at this point as it is happening with two different devices and even odin'ing back to a stock rom didn't solve it.
I just rooted my phone but now when it tries to restore all the apps i got from the market it keeps failing to download (I dont even want the apps anyway...) and I'm just stuck in this loop even after a few reboots. How can i cancel!? D:

when it reboots, hold down POWER+VOL DOWN
will it let you get into Bootloader?....
if it doesnt work that way, pull the battery, then when you put it back in try the step above.
once you are in Bootloader, you can go into Recovery and start over.
thanks I got it fixed thank you, but Is there a way to remove apps from market downloaded app list? Cause uninstalling doesnt do the trick :/ as long as they don't download again if i factory reset or anything I'm fine.

you can try using the program 'Titanium Backup' to see if it will allow you to 'force remove' any apps loaded by the system... if worse comes to worse though, and you don't mind spending 99 cents.. you can use a program called 'bloat freezer'. i use it to "freeze" any system apps that i don't want running. it works very well
If I understand what's happening, goto settings--privacy and unchecked the "backup my settings" checkbox". That will remove your apps from Google's servers.

Mine does this with the new Market from time to time. The app downloads, but it still says it is downloading. I just exit out of the Market, and when I restart the Market all is good. This is not a ROM issue. Many people have experienced problems since the new Market version came out. You could try submitting a bug report to Google. They are very responsive.
I get this when I queue up too many apps to download at the same time. It also chews through my data while looping through the downloads. Went through 500mb of data before I realised today. Restarting doesn't help as the downloads start when the phone starts back up.
To clear I go Settings->Applications->Manage Applications->All->Download manager
Clear data and Clear cache.
then I re-download the apps slower next time and it doesn't hang on me (-:
Hello. When using the Marketplace app, everything works, except when I try to load "My Apps". I get a completely blank page. Nothing there. I have 50+ apps installed through the market that I now cannot update.
I load the marketplace, hit the menu, select my apps, nothing.
I have uninstalled the Market update, and when I try to load my apps on the old version of the market app, it tells me a server error has occurred, and asks me to retry. I can connect and use the market on my PC and on the phone's browser.
I am running stock 2.3.4, rooted only. I have unrooted. I have tried clearing the cache and data, uninstalling the update, I have reset the phone(cleared data), and used RSD to SBF 2.3.4. I have tried switching DNS servers, both wifi and 3G. ANY help or suggestions are welcome.
How can I completely clear the phone and reset to factory new condition?
SBFing is best factory reset but you could SBF back to Froyo then try updating from there. Also make sure you can view your apps in the market using the web interface, it could very well be an issue on their side.
I think it is a problem with a backed up file. I logged in with another Gmail account and I am able to access my apps. SO I guess I am going to try and SBF, then tell Google NOT to restore, as well as the backup assistant. See if that works...
Good idea, don't restore anything just sign in you could very well be on to something. Let me know how it works out. Also if it does work and you want to find out what went wrong try restoring one thing at a time, after each time check to see if you can still see your apps.
Did you try to clear cache for the market app?

The Market works perfectly if I use any other account except the one with my apps. Can I have installed too many apps? I know quite a few are not showing up on the market web site, Titanium for example...
I have the same problem. When i try to look at my apps it says something along the lines of applications and games owed by this account will appear here and it doesn't show any of my apps. I sbf'd from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4, deleted and reinstalled the market, cleared data and cache, all that. But I can access my apps on the website so I think its just a market problem
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
playstore is giving the error "package file is invalid" for almost all the apps i download.
i've cleared cache, restored it to default, used a different apk and finally restored it back to factory settings. still the same error.
also tried this method
1). Log into Google Play Store
(using a browser)
2). Scroll to the bottom of the page
& locate "My Orders & Settings"
3). Click on the Settings Tab
4). Assign a "Nickname" to your
phone
5). Check "Shown in Menus"
6). Save settings
7). Return to the Play Store and
download Apps as normal!

The phone is not rooted. using stock everything.
Try formatting your sd card or try using another sd card.......the main problem is of storage......either your sd card cannot store it properly.....or your net connection is problematic.....because Google's server cannot be down ever...

though the error you get...is unusuall :/ at least for stock
yeah maybe yyou have problem with internet connection :S
Have u tried connecting to Wifi and then try downloading apps I had the same issue but when I tried again it was all normal
I dont think the problem is with my Internet connection. My sister has a galaxy r and if i download the same app on her phone, it installs perfectly.
I only use wifi to download apps.
Will try formatting the sdcard and tell you if that helps
try rooting it
i also have that problem before rooting on my xperia neo l. after rooting my phone, the error never appeared. thanks god
