The market won't work again. There must be some reason or some app that won't let that!
Can someone help me!? I have no more ideas what is making that problem!

No,I have the OS that was installed when I bought the phone.
I bought the phone from my carrier btw.

No costum roms. Could there be something in my settings that prevent to download apps??
 
Your settings ? No. Today it's up & down whole day. For example i tried watched what the market app does via debug tools, and the app which i cannot download now throws a nice HTTP 502 error when accessed via web browser on my PC.

Well,Android market on my phone is making problems this whole week.
I have done 3 factory resets already.Market just won't let me download some apps.The download doesn't even start or it says "download unsuccesfull". It doesn't matter if try downloading via WIFI or 3g or anything.
It's really getting annoying and I'm starting to think,that I messed up something on my phone.
 
No, it's as simple as Google servers failing. Here is a log via DDMS from my phone :

"http error 502 for download" says it all. It's the Google, not your phone. If you have Android SDK installed, just connect your phone to your PC and start the DDMS tool, then start a download and watch the log. You will get the same line when the download fails ("Download starting" message).

Ok.,then I hope so. And I hope that google fix that soon...
 
Of course if you need some app, you can repeatedly try, once in many tries the server works and let's you download an app. With enough patience, you can download everything. That's what i'm doing now, it's my luck that this happens exactly on the day i buy a Desire HD :D.

Ok.,I'll try that. Thanks.
 
Someone misconfigured a router inside Google ? Hardware failure ? Load balancer failure ? It can be anything, it is simply a internal problem of Google, which affects the download servers serving the content for Android Market. The reason why do you see only the "Download starting..." message is because the client is not programmed this situation. In other words, the programmers of the Android Market client running on your phone didn't expected the situation, in which Google servers start acting weird :).
