I just got this phone and when try to download apps, I get the message "The application Market(process com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." Then it makes me force close. When I go back to "downloads" it says "starting download....." under the app in the "curently downloading" section.
Loving the phone except for this!
Thanks in advance!
 
I got this problem once
you should turn the phone off, take the battery out, and your sim card also
wait about 5 minutes
and there shouldn't be the problem again
this worked for me

sorry for my bad english
 
go to the Application Settings (Menu — Settings — Applications — Manage Applications) and clear the data in Google Talk, Google Mail, Market, Google Apps, Download Manager and IM.
Don’t be afraid of the Clear Data button, it won’t delete the programs from your phone as they’re built into the OS. Instead this will clear your user settings, which will require you to re-input your Google Mail username and password. Make sure to also delete anything in the apps’ cache, too.
Open up Mail, Talk or Market and re-input your user name and password. Wait for the little sync icon to disappear at the top of the notification bar and then try downloading again.
 
Factory reset (or reflashing) should do it, but I've deleted the associated Google account by:

Delete /Data/System/accounts.db

CLEAR DATA for the following apps:
Download
Google Play Services
Google Play Store
Google Services Framework
Talk
Talkatone

You obviously need to be rooted.

After removing your Google account and rebooting, run Gtalk or Market/Play, and it should ask you to enter your login/pw.
