    Hi, i cant seem to download anything from the market place.
    App or game just says downloading but the bar never moves. This happens with wifi or data connection( am using phone to post this). Is there aomething blatantly obvious im missing? Cheers

    The phone is new. Loads of space.

    Sometimes what I have to do when this happens is go into to settings --> Applications --> Manage Applications --> Market then click the Uninstall Updates button. When you open up the market again you;ll have to accept the terms and conditions again because it's gone back to it's factory state but then just try and download your app again.
    Usually works for me anyways.

    +1 This will work. Happens to my market once or twice a week!
    Any word on a more permanent fix or even a new market update that doesn't cripple half the users of it? :D

    install the FastWeb Installer and you can install straight from the site.

    when this happens i just cancel the download and click install again, usually sorts the frozen download. seems to happen a lot more now than when i got the phone first but mainly when i have a load of updates going on at the same time. (i have apps on sd btw)

    Still no joy with this. I dont see an uninstall updates option. Just uninstall, which is greyed out. There is a clear cache which i did, causing me to need to agree to t&c's but didnt make a difference. Any other ideas? Do i not need a log in somewhere like you would with the app store?
