Hi All,
I thought I would throw this one out to the forum as Dell can't seem to help.

I had to do a restore on my Streak because it lost the network and wouldn't reconnect to my SP (Optus Aust). Since the restore, I can select apps to download and the ones that I have installed to update. But they just sit there in the queue with the download bar saying downloading, but doing nothing else.

Has anyone run across this problem?

Has anyone got a clean Dell streak that they could do a backup on, so I can get the original backup file to restart from? Doing a factory reset doesn't seem to help

I hope one of you is up to providing some sort of guidance, thanks for reading!!

Regards,
Mckhenry

I've had this a couple of times but it has always managed to sort itself out eventually.

Try checking that background data is enabled, and you have a working internet connection. Is it stuck on any paid apps? Paid apps always take a little time for me, (psxd4droid took about a day)

Have you tried re-logging in to your google account? (not 100% sure off the top of my head how to trigger that)

I have had problems with downloading apps too.

The first time not a single app wanted to download it had to do with my Google-account: it was several years old and never used for Android-related purposes (AdWords in fact). For some reason that account didnt't want to be associated with an Android device. So I created a new account an everything worked fine.

That is, until I reached my workplace and its Wifi connection. There I discovered that our firewall was blocking outgoing traffic on ports that were obviously needed. So I opened all outgoing traffic for the Streaks IP and everything worked fine.

Then I wanted to purchase an app with my new Google account and consistently received a server error message after entering my credit card details. I discovered that I had to enter my credit card on a PC in checkout.google.com and could then select it in the Market app.

Finally I still have problems from time to time with free applications that don't start loading immediately. So I just wait a few hours or I buy a cheap paid app as that seems to trigger the start for all other downloads.

Hope this helps.
