Stop background downloads / updates - G1 General

Hi
Does anyone know of a permanent way to stop background downloads/updates?
It seems my phone is constantly trying to download the latest update, and I already have JFv1.5 ... in the last days I have already used my month download limit!
I have tried to find a solution here, but the only one that seems to exist is to upgrade to the latest rom, witch I already have...
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Settings > Data Synchronization
Disable Background Data and Auto-Sync should help.

It doesn't ... 71 MB last nigh, with both Background Data and Auto-Sync disabled.

Update to JF 1.51 (or any CRB43 based build) and your background update problems will go away. I suggest putting JF's blog into your rss reader.

I have updated to JF 1.51 this morning, and 15 minutes later it downloaded 36MB... at this time, it didn't download anything else, lets see if it works...
I have a second phone (with the same problem), and I have also updated to JF 1.51 this morning, and it worked fine through the day...
let's see...

Weatherpanel not updating after installing full version

Hi, after using the weatherpanel trial for the full 15 days, which btw worked flawlessly, I purchased the full version, uninstalled the trial, and reinstalled the full version. Everything installed fine, but it refuses to update. I can surf the internet fine. When i tap "Update" or the "refresh" arrows on the weatherpanel today plugin, nothing happens.
The only difference in installation was that the trial was installed on the device, whereas the full, i installed on my miniSD. But after noticing this, I uninstalled the full and reinstalled on the device, but still the same problems persist.
I ran the diagnostics and I get "AUTH: FAILED".
Does anyone know what might be my problem? Thanks alot in advance.
Nvm. Got it figured out. Just had to remove the check by the proxy settings for gprs. Thanks anyways.

[Troubleshoot Discussion] all Android Market problems here!

i am coming across from a rooted G1, i had about 160 apps i have managed to get most restored with mybackpro but have had market issues since i first signed in.
Apps when downloading continue to show as downloading even after they are installed, is this just a syncing delay, I know I had this with my G1 at times when switching between roms and it usually fixed it self after a few days.
If this is the case is there anything I can do to try and fix this myself, its very annoying as the whole market is app is slow.
Error opening market.
Hi,
The Internet browser on my Galaxy S I9000 opens all web pages on both, GPRS and WiFi networks. However, the following applications give me errors-
1. Market - "Server unavailable. Please try again later". For both, GPRS and WiFi networks
2. Talk - It simply shuts down without showing any dialog box on both networks.
3. Maps, Gmail, Mail, Samsung Apps - Works only on WiFi and not GPRS
I do not have a 3G network in my region yet.
Since market doesn't open; I can not download anything.
Kindly guide me with this. I am more concerned about [1] and [2].
Thanks !

Market Fix JF2 not working
Hi,
I tried everything, but its not working. I changed the build.prop (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7309462&postcount=162) wiped the cache and app cache, but still not full app catalogue in the market...
Can anyone help me?
A lot of them do, some mess up but devs are usually fast in tweaking the app to work with froyo
Upgraded to JM2 and now certain market apps missing
Hi, i'm pretty sure i'm in the right section, anyway, I upgraded to firmware JM2 and now there seems to be the odd app missing in market, not specifically paid ones.
For example myplayer is not there, is there a fix available for this or has the app just dissapeared(could anyone verify?).
Many Thanks

[Q] Got a problem after install JPJG8 with root and lag+market fixed
After I have re-flashed my SSGS with JPJG8 then root and proceeded with lag and market fixed.
I can't open market..
1) When I open market 1st time - it will ask for my google account then close down
2) After that - when i open market again - it will show title bar "Android Market Terms of Service " with blank white screen
3) Then it start to blinks every 5 seconds but keep showing white screen and title bar <like the screen wiping from left to right>
>>> so I can't open market !!!
++ New problem found ++
I also cannot use mobile browser
-> when I try to open "Internet" the browser start to load then close immediately
PS. I try to do factory reset/ wipe cache .. but still not working!!
Looks like I may need to re-flash .. - -"
Do a reflash, and also if possible try to format both your internal and external sd card as well. Hope this works.
this happen again after I reflash .. root and do lag fixed ... so I will now go back to JM2
i think you should try that g00ndu said.

Market Problem
Hey,
i can find all apps on Market but can't download any of them.
If i press install it says in German: "Download wird gestartet..." means more or less in english:"Download starting..." it gets stuck on this message.
I used JM2 and OneClick LagFix 2.0 market wasn't working. so i decided to reflash and don't use oneclick lagfix, but nothing.
Then i flashed JM5, bit it still doesn't work.
I also tried another googlemail account, but nothing..
Anyone has a idea? I can't even restore my backups, since i can't download titanium backup from market lol.
This has happened to me today too! Maybe it is problems with the market servers.. :/ Now I am stuck without any applications until it is fixed.
I have the exact same problem and i have also tried a factory reset, if i find a solution I will let you know.

[Q] Market NOT downloading APPS [Froyo.2.2]

Just hooked up Froyo on my touch HD
My first time using XDANDROIND or any android.
seems to work fine except the market wont download and install apps
It views available apps and searches fine
when you select an App to install in perpetualy says >>>> STARTING DOWNLOAD
And nothing happens even after an hour, tried very small apps also under 1mb
Is this a commen problem?
Any Fixes?
or am i just missing some facts that i should know bout android ports
Thanx!!!
Hi,
I have noticed that once, too. However the latest XDAndroid works good for me, and also the distributions from Neopeek. Check that you have correct carrier and APN:s.
Hope it works out!

Yes, there are newer versions. Check out xdandroid.com. Also update kernels, rootfs etc. accordingly.
Mayby tray reinstall froyo ? Or change SD card .
any1 has a solution for this?
everytime i try to download apps through market, I see the download icon for a sec then it disappears.
When i access the download tab in market, it shows as trying to download, but then says download unsuccessfull.
i am using the full 07 package from the forum, which i think is the newest?

Are you using this build?
If so, that is the newest XDAndroid build for FroYo.
I can't remember specifically this issue - have you tried the usual?
Try a simple reboot. If that doesn't work, try to muck with the Market - clear the cache, perhaps update it? I know updating manually to the newest Market helped my "Market experience" if you will quite a bit.
If that doesn't work, you'll have to try the more drastic measures - first, update everything. Make sure you're on the newest kernel & rootfs. Then try a new data.img (rename or simply delete the old one, all of your user stuff like SMS messages, installed apps, etc will go away). If that still fails, I guess format the card and start over. Format with the HP Tool. Starting fresh is a pain, and I'm not sure that'll resolve your issue... but those are the basic troubleshooting steps for Market issues.
FYI, I followed these steps to update to the newest Market. Just find the APK for the newest version of the Market. Unfortunately our Market doesn't auto-update, not sure if that's possible on our port or not. Manually updating does work fine, although it is a pain.

No wasn't using that build, but using the cab from the other sticky topic "Froyo 2.2, ..."
Tried to use the build you specified, upon startup, I reach the animation of XDANDROID and the phone restarts, going into WM.
I updated the kernel, now the phone freezes on the XDANDROID animation instead of restarting. Gonna try this again and will post back in the relevant forum.
Thanks.

[Q] Apps not 'connecting' to the net. ??

Running stock 3.2, rooted using timmydeans method (chrishohls version)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1307539&highlight=app+connect&page=3
- Browsers (Stock, Firefox & Dolphin HD) all work fine, as does email (K-9 mail).
- I can browse the market but cannot download / install apps nor can I access 'my apps'
-Maps wont load in GMaps along with other apps that use gmaps (marine traffic, flightradar)
-Other apps that need an internet connection (openfeint, teevoid, AdAway etc) wont connect, though interestingly, in app ads still load.
This problem started 3 days ago. I have the same apps running on my mobile and they run fine (using the same wifi AP).
I have no backup installed, so before I try a factory reset, any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Reload your tablet with V3 which has all the latest patches from ACER in it.
I just tested all the applications you mentioned and they run without any issues.
TD
Just rooted last night with v3 and so far so good on those apps as well. I get a few force closes but not sure if they are related. Thanks timmyDean and even more so for the wargames throwback.
Thanks for the reply td.
I rooted my device back on 22 Oct and havent 'touched' it since. It has worked perfect up till 3 days ago.
If no other fix comes to light, yes I will try V3 (after trying a factory restore of course)
What's V3? Thanks.

Internal Memory issue - need help!

i am facing sever internal memory problem. A month ago while facing the same issue. It was around 400MB a month ago but it started going down on daily basis. Couple of days ago, it was 113MB and today i am hovering around 100MB.
Did not install any software, instead i am constantly uninstalling them. Checked via settings--->applications--->Manage applications and the largest application i have is "calendar storage" that is taking 46.55MB... facebook takes around 28MB and the if i count all the apps till the size of 1 MB, they are not more than 300MB. i don't think so that the remaining apps having a size of less than a MB will accumulate to 600MB.
Don't know what to do... please suggest...
I think any tries to answer would fail without having more details:
What ROM do you have? What have you tried so far? Can you try a factory reset?
A different ROM, maybe?

using HTC sense... did not root it... factory reset is an option but i am not sure whether it would help... also, anybody with any possible reasons so it can be avoided?
Froyo or Gingerbread?
Could be an app/service with a memory leak.
Maybe there is something corrupted in the system partition.
Did you experience any phone reboots/application crashes?
Do you have the latest over the air software update?
Is the phone up-to-date?
I'm no expert, I'm just trying to help.

Sense 2.1
Android 2.3.3
Since it's a UK based phone, HTC says 2.3.5 and sense 2.3 will be sent in couple of days.
I did not experience any unexpected reboots/application crash....
All of my software is bought from android market and i keep them updated.
Last night after posting this topic, i deleted couple of apps and the memory was increased to 123MB from 103... just checked now... (after 12hours), its already 116MB with the annoying memory notification on top bar....
I downloaded an app called "diskusage" that shows the following breakdown:
Applications: 296 MB
System Data: 753 MB
Free: 112 MB
As per my understanding, system data is the culprit... is it normal? and any suggestions to fix it?

If you would have had root, it would be simple: do a full backup, wipe the device and see if it happens again. If it does, restore from backup, you're back and didn't lose and info. In your case it's quite hard to find the cause.
Not sure you'll be able to find the cause without wiping out.
Maybe uninstalling apps one by one might work? It'll take time.
I have one question because I see you write "memory" but from the discussions it's not clear if you're talking of free RAM of storage space.
Memory normally means RAM but now I think you might be speaking of the storage space.
There is a big difference between the two.
The increase of data is due to apps that save a lot of things and almost never clean
Even when you uninstall
The good behaviour to have is the remove apps through the settings doing first : force stop app (if running) then remove data (which is causing your trouble) then uninstall app and only then
Because if you don't you have to parse manually your data and find what was kleft behind and remove it (requires root)
Download this app and see if it's able to clear a lot of data.

If nothing works, do a factory reset. Just make sure you've ticked both options under Settings>Privacy, so that you'll get back your apps when you sign in with your Google account. Also check that you've saved your contacts as Google contacts. Your SD card won't be erased unless you choose it.
That should clear any redundant files or whatever is hogging your space. It'll be a bit of work to set your phone up again, but it'll be as good as new.
nothing worked, i did the factory reset and memory is back to normal - showing 60MB of system data and 200 MB of application data... mybackup was pretty useful!
thanks all for your suggestions but i believe there was a leakage.
