Hi all,
First of all I didn't want to start a new thread but I already followed all advises when people asked about this issue and had no luck, don't know what else to do.
I got my new gtablet four days ago (not a woot) and have been trying different roms (TNT 4.3.1 / Vegan 5.1) with no luck in the android market. Of course I tried the fixes for the market, clearing cache, data, even re-partitioning to make sure partition was 2048 | 0, turning off firewall in my router... EVERYTHING! On the stock ROM (3588) I can download and install apps from the market with no issues. In TNT lite 4.3.2 (my actual ROM) I can download things from the browser, but not from the market. As soon as I click to install, it keeps in "starting download..." and could be there for hours without downloading a single bit.
Is anybody experimenting the same (frustration, haha)? How can I identify where the problem could be?
Thanks in advanece!
mmmm.... ideas?
Thanks!
This has been happening to me on and off with both updates and new downloads for the past week or so. Usually I can kickstart it by canceling it and selecting it again. Some seemed to be more difficult than others.
+1. I usually stop the download and kick start it again. After a few times, it usually starts the download.
Hey, first thanks for the replies!
I try stop & reconnect all the time even with different applications but I have no luck. Another strange thing is that I cannot connect to google talk. It always give me the error that it cannot connect with the server. I'm pointing this as I know that the market and gtalk are close related. Does that rings a bell?
Download it and restart the device..it.should start downloading again once its.back on

That could be a network or server issue. Can you use the web based market?
If that works try the market fix again. There have been times that I had to do that three or four times to get it working correctly.

Hello there, and thanks for stopping by! What you mean by web based market? Whenever I type android market on the web browser, it goes to https://market.android.com/ but for downloading, jumps to the market application and the neverending "starting download" starts again Nevertheless I was using without any issues the limited market that comes with the stock ROM! That's just to discard issues with my internet connection. Also, tried on a different connection and everything stays the same.

Any time I've had anything like this a clear cache or data wipe took care of it. Very odd. Maybe Dalvik Cache?
Mine did the same thing and I found my date/time was reset. Setting the proper time fixed it instantly. Downloading would hang in the market but dl'ing an apk from getjar worked fine. Good luck!

Did you ever get this issue resolved? My friend as the same issue with downloads not completing and I'm at a loss as to how to fix it?
Thanks.
I'm seeing this exact same issue (including the Google Talk Authentication failure) on VEGAn-TAB 5.1.
Has anyone found a resolution for this? Thanks!
I found my issue -
I didn't have a gmail account. Without a gmail account Google Talk doesn't seem to work and the Marketplace uses Talk.
Symptoms:
Google Talk autentication failure on boot up
Marketplace would not download, stuck on "Starting download"
Resolution
Created new email account [email protected]
Logged into Google Talk through PC app to set-up account
Wipped all user data from tablet through clockwork
Added gmail account in settings
Had to do market fix again, but after that everything worked
Hi Everyone,
I have an LG Optimus One running on Android 2.3. I am having a strange issue where all the browsers stop working all of a sudden.There is no issue with the Internet Connectivity be it WiFi or 3G. The apps, Google Play, everything else works just fine.One more interesting thing is that the browser Opera Mini works just fine.
I have tried the factory reset once already, that solves the issue temporarily but the issue seems to come back once in a while.
Any ideas on how to fix this issue.
Thanks in Advance
Have you checked that you have the latest versions of the browsers? Also, have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling them again?

I have tried it earlier, They work for sometime but that doesn't seem to be a permanent fix. The way I look at it, If Opera mini can work just fine despite other browsers failing then that is something. If we know what its doing differently from other browsers, then I think this issue can be nailed.
Any guesses anybody ??
Issue with the proxy..its resolved

After some googling i found that the browsers are somehow being proxy-ed to an unknown host..which is causing the issue..Opera mini is not bothered by any proxy..that's why it works like a charm..I installed this App APL Demo and released the proxy settings and everything started to work..Anyways thanks guys..
Is anyone else having issues with XDA's site loading in Google Chrome? For the past few days I have had to use Explorer to get the web page to load without force closing.

Yes, I've had the issue on multiple machines. Sometimes it works just fine then it'll lock up and I have to close the tab and relaunch it.

I don't use the app because it's easier to read/reply on the web. Plus it makes it look like I'm working

Funny! Yes, can't exactly have your face in your phone too often while working.
I wonder what the issue is? This has only been a recent problem but I'm willing to bet it's on the Google Chrome side of it. Never had issues in the past.
mine hangs on when launching the site sometimes, I've noticed the same thing happens with droid-life occasionally too. Could be an issue with an ad loading.
Site has been having technical difficulties also causing extreme slow downs in the mobile apps.
Also questions go in Q&A
Thread moved
Thanks

What app do people use to to text from their compute? I've been using MightText which is great when it works, but it often has syncing problems.

try AirDroid
it s so stable :good:
Actually Airdroid seems glitchy too. It some time doesn't connect, even though the phone and computer are both connected to the internet.

I've been using AIRDROID for quite some time now, and I never had issues with its connection. Actually I think it's a well developed app, stable and fast. Maybe you're experiencing issues with your wi-fi connection...
I use the hangouts extension for Chrome. It works for me no problems. Cause I'm logged into Chrome all the time anyway and use Hangouts on my Z2 (I use a dual booting MBP with Retina Os 10.10 and Win7 also iMac desktop dual booting). So try Hangouts for Chrome if you use Chrome on your phone and have a google account:good:
Some PPL use - BlueStacks
This is a Android Tablet Emulator with Notifications for the Desktop.

Actually it seems to have had a bug if both computer and phone are on same LAN, but they fixed it now http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/airdroid/logging-website-fails-to-connect-t2889745
It still sometimes fails to connect and fails to send messages, even in the updated version.
Didn't notice the bug. Thanks for the info.
Try using WeLine. its quite new but its great!

I must say, after trying Airdroid for a few months it's a good idea but severely unusable due to it's bugs. It's so unreliable and unstable it can't even connect half the time.

That's not my experience at all, it's not really actively being developed but it performs what it advertises just fine for me.

I'll have to look it up, but no problems here from day one of using airdroid .
I am having this problem only with MY Mate 2 and no other device. I also attached some pictures so everyone can better understand.
Anything to do with eBay on my phone is not showing any pictures. I noticed this first with my eBay app about a week ago the other day I needed it so I used chrome and went to ebay.com and on chrome the pictures were also missing (see attached pics) I also installed Dolphin Browser and again the same problem. I gave up after clearing all my cache under app settings for ebay and chrome. I also used a file explorer and search for anything with "ebay" in it and deleted it. Nothing. Every time I go to ebay the app or website on 2 different browsers all the pictuers are missing. I gave up and factory reset it and the problem is still there! This is only on my Mate 2! Anyone have any suggestions on where to look or what to delete to make the pics come back up? I googled everywhere and nothing! everyone just says clear your cache or uninstall and reinstall and if all else fails factory reset. I did all of this! and I'm still unable to use ebay anyway on my phone! even if i'm not logged into ebay so its not an account issue.
Can you open this link?
http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTUwMFgxNTAw/z/FGMAAOxyHIlTXc9d/$_1.JPG
To me, it looks like your phone has installed some adblock or site block. For example, have you checked the content of /etc/hosts?
What am I looking for. I'm stumped. I just Uninstalled adfree but no change. it has to be a file that is staying after restoring from twrp restore point. I rolled back to a time I know eBay was working and this time it was not. so what location does not get formatted ya know what I mean?
Hi there. I installed Android 5.0 on my xperia Z Ultra last weekend, and when I installed the ebay app it had EXACTLY the same problem as you are having now, so I wonder if it's an actual problem with the app or ebay rather than your phone?

When you do above test with laptop, is the laptop connect to internet same way as your MATE2, like both use your home wifi? or your phone maybe use carrier data plan?
Something maybe obvious from your side, but pls clarify, so I don't need to make any incorrect guess/assumption when troubleshooting.
I have searched a little bit, looks like a few people has similar problem on ebay image:

the phone was tested on the same router as my laptop also on mobile data and my girlfirends router. In other words. One Comcast, One Brighthouse, and one AT&T networks (mobile data) And it also works on my other devices (Galaxy Tab 3 8.0, Note 4, LG Optimus G Pro all working on my home network. I'm gonna search a little more but in a nutshell after I did a factory reset I dont see how its possible to still have the problem.

I am restoring my phone right after we installed the System Update. Will see if that restore point works... FML
OMG PICS STILL MISSING ONLY ON MY MATE 2. I'm about to chuck the phone at the wall!
I got IT!. Somehow the latest version of AdFree hostlist does not work on my phone and when I uninstalled it originally I did not revert back to the previous list first! I rolled back to when I had adfree installed and then reverted back to my orignal list now its working again. I uninstalled Adfree. But FML I had it forever and it was working fine
So adfree is the problem? I'm having that same problem when I open the new balance page lol
