I was able to download a bunch of apps today, but now I can't download anything. I keep getting "download unsuccessful" notices. I've tried restarting, turning flight mode on and off a couple times, but no luck. I can't download anything.
Anybody else experience this today? Any tips to fix it?
EDIT: After some intense googling, under Settings->Applications->Manage Applications, I cleared the data from Download Manager. That seems to work for the time being.
I'm having the exact same problem. When I go into Settings->Applications->Manage Applications however, Download Manager isn't there. I don't know how it would have gotten deleted but I'm thinking this may be the root of my issue. Anyone know where can download the stock Android 2.1 Download Manager?
Download manager is there (change filter in manage applications to all)
This apparently does not appear to be the problem...
Any other ideas. I only get this problem from mediafire and xda attachments

My Vibrant is having some serious issues. I've only found one other person that seems to have my issues and that thread went out of control so I'm starting another.
Symptom:
Within 5ish (if that) minutes of a factory reset, the market will get stuck on Starting Download... for any application. Nothing fixes it. I can download 10ish applications but that's all.
Attempted Fixes:
Factory Reset
Various ROMs via Odin
Flash JFD ROM with "repartition" option selected, then flash another ROM over that without repartition
Factory Reset and different Gmail account to set up the phone
"Easy Fixes" like logging in to GTalk, resetting Market cache, switching networks and over to wifi in any combination and every other suggestion that doesn't work.
Notes:
Everything was working fine until that OTA update came in and I opted to install it without checking online to see if there were any issues. Of course, the update froze halfway through and I used Odin to install JI6, then all these issues started.
This is my first phone and it used to work perfectly well in any number of locations around where I live. Now it doesn't work anywhere.
I periodically get spammed with a lot of application downloads that I didn't initiate and they all turn up unsuccessful (since the problems started).
I tried using the Appbrain quick web installer feature which may or may not have caused the problem.
I am currently using Bionix 1.8 with VOODOO.
My wife's phone has the same set up and works. I tried her Gmail account on mine after a factory reset and I had the same issues.
Any suggestions?
When you flashed JI6 did you use the pit file?
are you restoring any backups after you flash?
I posted this in another thread. Someone did this with success and it worked for me too. The key thing "AND Uninstall updated"
I have managed to sort this now - here's what I did:
Go into settings - applications - manage applications- scroll down to market & long touch to open. Clear cache AND Uninstall updated. It will ask for confirmation and then uninstall. I then went back to market and Bluetooth file transfer downloaded and installed with no probs. Hope this helps anyone else with same problem.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Also have you ran a "Fix permissions" from RomManager? It seems to help with a lot of these strange errors ....
Sorry for not responding... work is keeping me busy.
Anyway, when I go Manage Applications, select Filter~>All and go down to Market there is nothing to do with Uninstall. I tried long clicking and that did nothing. When I click on Market, the only buttons are Clear Cache, Clear Defaults, and Force Stop. Am I missing something?
To answer other questions, both the JI6 and JFD .tar files I used (found on xda) came with their own .pit files and I did use the respective .pit files when flashing. After the flash, all I do is install Appbrain and start loading my applications again (no other restoration methods). I've run fix_permissions and that didn't help when I ran it though I've only done it once or twice in the whole process.
Note - I have Market 1714.
Cleared the download manager cache?
+1 on Fix Permissions in ROM Manager. This has fixed many market issues.
The TMo Android customer service folk had me try clearing the Download Manager's cache (and I tried again just for laughs) with no results. Tried fix permissions again with no luck. My replacement (refurbished? from TMo) should show up today.
Got the new phone (with JI6 on it and the new market that keeps applications up-to-date), flashed Bionix Fusion 1.1 and things look to be working pretty well. My signal is noticeably better than it was before (it used to be good then got worse for some reason so I guess it's back to what it used to be).
I paid $10 for 7-10 business day shipping or something like that but I got a text about it shipping on the 25th and it got here today (after being back-ordered) so I'm relatively satisfied. Sure would like to know what's wrong with the other phone and how to fix it if need be in the future but I'll just avoid accepting any OTA updates in the future.
So i searched and searched and searched and i found nothing that has help my issue so far. Whenever i go to download anything from the market it starts the download than says download unsuccessful. ive tried turning talk on then trying again, wipe data for market and market updater, froze both as well in tb then unfroze, and turned airplane mode on the off. no success. i am not running voodoo. any way to fix this??????
Do you have titanium backup installed? If not install it, if so do the following. Open it up, and wipe the data for the market. That always worked for me.
So despite innumerable threads on this strange issue, I'm not seeing a definitive answer on how to fix the problem.
Clearing cache on "download manager" and "market" DOES NOT WORK!! I still get the white screen of death, followed by the friendly message..
I also CANNOT see anywhere in the manage application settings where I "clear the download history" or wh8ever....and really - I'm feeling like I might have to invest in a computer science major just to maintain a reliable, updateable phone!
PLEASE HELP, anybody...is there any fix to this other than factory resetting everything & reinstalling everything??

Has anyone found a solution to this Market problem?
I also get this error message on my stock G2 every single time I download an update to an app I already have installed. once I clear the error message, the download and install always completes, but its annoying as all heck. can anyone confirm if master reset permanently resolves the issue? if it does id be willing to do it...
Primarily force closes happen when application permissions(or system data) either overlap or conflict... Hard reset will only resolve the issue if you stop installing whatever it is you have messed permissions up with... Boot into recovery and fix permissions and see if that helps... If not, hard reset and install apps individually to see if you can trace it..

I apologize, but that doesnt help me at all. this issue doesn't only happen with certain apps, it is literally 100% of apps that I experience this issue with. if I boot in to recovery mode, what permissions am I looking for?
Boot into recovery and fix permissions? I wish i were that competent...but i am no programmer
Cant i just reinstall the Market app somehow?

Dears,
I am having trouble installing apps through market and it is really annoying. I have reset the phone already many times.
Actually problem is that when i am installing applications through market, during download/install app will stuck. For my case, any app can stuck and it can stuck in either download or install. I think process tries to restart itself, all these restart are stacked up. I had upto 78 downloads of same apps at one time.
I have reset the phone many times, please has anyone came across this, Any permanent solution is highly appreciated.
There is some data saver setting that will enqueue all downloads. Disable it and it will work fine again.
Regards
Thanks, actually I was surprised that I don't have "Data Manager" option in my phone settings to enable/disable 'data saver'.
Anyways to clean the stuck installs and clear the process, by the way I always use WiFi for downloads ....
Dear XDA members,
Does anyone have any experience with the issue I mentioned in the title? I know, it's very stupid.
I got this new L110 and it came filled with bloatware so I rooted it and decided to mindlessly deinstall some apps. Normally that would go fine, but this time it went wrong. After I uninstalled the 'Download Manager', I couldn't download or update anything using the Play Store anymore. This issue has kept me busy for the past 2 hours, but I can't seem to figure out how to fix it.
Things I tried:
- Factory reset. Didn't restore the Download Manager.
- Downloaded a supposed Stock Rom, tried installing all 3 versions of Download Manager APKs that were inside. Only 1 succeeded to install, but it doesn't show up in my System Apps list and I still can't download.
- Tried exporting the Download Manager from my S5. Failed to install.
I would appreciate any help I can get on this
