I have done all the things listed above several times also. What I posted is what works for me as I stated. I do not have a "fix" since I am not an IT person. You can try to speak to Google, but I have 11 emails instructing me to do exactly what has been listed above.
Some devices will not work with the latest update. I personally think the hang-up comes from the latest pix since the old market works fine, and the market and related apps can be viewed on desktops,etc. Attempting to load the newest graphics seems to be the hang-up on my device, and deleting ALL Google updates, followed by deleting all Verizon updates got my device working again. While I am not able to use many features, it is a bummer. I can at least make phone calls and recieve emails. If it doesn't work for you, I sorry, and I hope there is a fix soon. I am just as frustrated as everyone else.
