Downloading Market Apps Problem

For some reason when trying to download an App from the market it just sits on "Starting Download..." even when connected to wifi etc. Its been like this for a couple of days now. I've tried everything but can't seem to get it working.
Anyone got any ideas?

I had that problem once when I removed one of the system critical apps after rooting my phone. Reflashing your ROM should do the trick. Unless you're on vanilla then I have no clue...
 
I solved the very same problem by changing my email address back to @googlemail.com rather than @gmail.com, when i did this my downloads instantly kicked in, hope this helps some folk.:cool:
 
Good idea; switching between the two has messed it up for a lot of people.
 
i just hope google fix this problem soon coz I want a gmail account rather than googlemail - much easier to give out to people!
 
I think emails sent to @gmail will still go to you anyway. That's how mines always worked.
 
I've got the same issue. Last week I was in Android Market and I wanted to download a few applications, which just sit on Downloads. I tried it many times, no way. Then I made a few factory resets. Now I can even sign up with my ...@gmail.com account. Because of it I cannot use any Google related application such as Android, GMail or GTalk.

Any idea?

Having the same issue but can't seem to fix it. After various bits of Googling, I found this:

How to fix UK Android Market download and Gmail log-in errors | andrew | Google Android Blog)

Which suggests doing this:

So, I did that and it hasn't worked. Now I can't login to any Google account on my Hero using either username (@gmail or @googlemail); it says it ;can't establish a reliable data connection to the server' yet Internet is fine on phone and is connected to Wi-Fi connection. I have tried to find the option in Gmail on the Net to change it back to Googlemail (though I never actually actively changed it in the first place), but can't find it in the place the Google help tells me it is!

Any help or ideas that aren't a factory reset greatly appreciated people!

Thanks!
