Can't download apps

jamieh · 2010-10-28 22:01:07

Hi all, Got a HTC Wildfire - all going well but I can't download apps from the marketplace. It says starting download - downloading - download paused - download unsuccessful. I googled around and people mentioned to sign into google talk to fix the problem. Did that but no joy. I've tried both wifi and 3G. Anyone got any…

Hi all,

Got a HTC Wildfire - all going well but I can't download apps from the marketplace.

It says starting download - downloading - download paused - download unsuccessful.

I googled around and people mentioned to sign into google talk to fix the problem. Did that but no joy.

I've tried both wifi and 3G.

Anyone got any ideas?

Sounds like the issues outlined in this thread. The issues i has went away a couple of days ago though, by the lack of other complaints about it too, i assumed it had gone away for everyone

The market was playing up for me the last couple of days too. Seems to be grand now.

Had the same problem, but since I turned off 3G data (Settings, Wireless Controls, Mobile Networks, Data Traffic), it's improved.

Uninstalled the market and its worked ever since. It updates itself after a bit.
Google really need to sort this. Constantly having issues with the market over the past few weeks

I got a Desire a few days ago and I was having the same problem until I stopped using the automatic date and time values. It's the first thing in Settings > Date & time. Give that a go.
