Everytime I try to download something with a .apk ending like a game or software it says "SORRY! the process android.process.media has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. I have been at this for over 3 days now.
I have taken out my battery, restarted my phone millions of times...and still nothing..
anyone please?!?!?
Have you tried downloading them on your computer and then emailing or transferring them to your phone and installing that way?
did you install Astro File Manager?
some games / apps are not compatible with 2.3
you need to have astro installed for example to download an apk attachment.

Thank You
try to Delete the /data/data/com.android.vending folder and rebooting. worked for me thanks goes to adrynalyne
I have the same problem since I updated my tattoo, I'm unable to download anything from the market. Sometimes it works but slowly and most of the time it doesn't work.
Internet connection works.
marck1991> you said to remove a certain folder, how can I get to this folder? I tried with ES File Explorer but the folder /data is empty.
Thanks for the reply.
I had the same trouble. As a solution I've deleted Market upgrade in Settings->Apps menu.
I think, it's bad upgrade for Market.
Now my Market works properly.
after installing an update of google maps, my phone rebooted
I really don't understand.
I'll have to try another rom, maybe it will help.
same problem here
Hi XDA,
Im new with Android on my HD2. And I downloaded some APK files. (Angry Birds) But I can only install the file with HTC Sync. If I search the SD Card I can't find it. But its really on the SD card. Maybe some1 can explain? If i install with HTC Sync. the application. They show me a icon in 'All Apps' then i want to start the app it gives me this error.
Sorry!
The application Angry Birds (process com.rovio.angrybirds) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
Hopefully im doing something wrong and its not my phone. Or maybe the Android build is not good? But i didnt hear any complains from the other members. My build is (Motoman234 eVo Carbon V0.2 Remix) Android version 2.2.
I restarted the device serveral times.
just transfer them to the sd card, use a file explorer(astro, root explorer etc) to install them . thats the easy way
you could also download droid exporer onto your computer and have alot more advanced options.
There are several threads here dealing with the market download unsuccessful error. Unfortunately, none of the solutions have helped me to this point. I am currently on the AOSP ish JK2 1.1 ROM, but two days ago I was on one of the sombionix ROMs and I was having the same problem. In fact, this "download unsuccessful" error was one of the reasons I wanted to try a different ROM. Bottom line is, I don't think it is ROM related.
So, I am getting the download unsuccessful error for most apps that I try to get from the market. Funny thing is, some apps work fine and install fine. I have tried clearing the cache/data for the market app and the download manager app from settings->applications->manage applications and going to market and download manager. I have seen tips that suggested uninstalling the market??? but I couldn't figure out how, since it the option to uninstall was grayed out. Is download manager even needed? I have seen some people that say they freeze it with titanium to conserve battery. I have seen where some people that have this problem use Astro after getting the error and then browse to the apk and install it manually. The problem is, I can't install astro because... wait for it... I get the download unsuccessful error. I adb shell'ed and looked for the market download folder, but I couldn't find it. Where is it, anyway?
It's not just download unsuccessful errors that I am getting. I also have times where the download never starts. Sometimes I have to cancel and restart the download several times before it will actually download (sometimes ending with a download unsuccessful error after it reaches 100%).
In summary, the questions are:
1. Is uninstalling an re-installing the market an option? How do I do this?
2. Is freezing download manager a good idea?
3. Where is the market download folder?
4. Any other suggestions for getting past these errors and having a market that actually works most of the time?
I have issues with unsuccessful downloads as well. Latest one was LauncherPro and Google Voice. LauncherPro I download from the developers website and Google Voice I managed to resolve by going in and deleting the Marketing cache.
As for the question of deleting the market you would have to use something like Titanium Backup. But make sure to find a Froyo compatible Market APK first.
Well, I don't know why it would help, but I froze com.sec.android.providers.downloads in titanium and it seems that I can now download some of the apps that before I could not.
I would still really appreciate it if someone could take a stab at the other questions I have asked in the OP.
Anyone? Please?

Do you get an error or do they just stuck on 100% after downloading?

I get an error. But sometimes the download just cancels itself.
however, the main problem is the error. because i could download the apk file via rapidshare etc.
But the problem is the error. the error says after the install bar runs:
Application did not install. (in dutch)
The other problem, with the download cancelling is like this:
when selecting an app for download, the download bar starts running.
But after a few seconds the download bar disappears by itself. so eventually, the app never reaches my phone. in fact the download never completes.
so there are 2 problems. but the first problem is worse than the second.
However, it would be great if you could help me to solve them both.
First problem: i get an error when installing certain apps.
second: My downloads from the market wont complete.
sorry for any weird sentences, english is not my first language.
Kinda glad to know that I'm not the only one with the same problem... still trying to figure out what happened.
I know a clean install will fix the problem but I don't want to go through that again...
My phone is a Motorola Milestone running CM6 10.12.22
i just did a clean install from the latest android out there (darkstone superram 0.1) with the dutch vodafone data mod and i cannot download a single byte from the market. the market itself works fine over wifi or G3, but all files refuse to download.
thing that sucks as well is that i have the apk for applanet on the sd card but a cannot get to it as the darkstone lacks a sd card explorer app....
When that happened to me, Market reported an error -18. An online search recommended deleting a hidden directory ".android_secure" on the SD card. I'm running CM6.1 on a CDMA Hero with most of my apps running from the SD. From what I found online, that secure stuff is for Froyo apps2sd... which is why some apps downloaded and installed okay, and why some apps downloaded, but failed to install.
You can also try some cache dumps including Dalvik. Run "Fix Permissions" in ROM Manager. Then try the downloads again. If that still doesn't work, you might want to delete the ".android_secure" hidden directory.
Make sure to do a Nand backup and copy the contents of the SD card onto your computer before attempting any fix. Play it safe.
Good luck.
Hello
I am able to download all the apps from the market. But there is only one app I can't download. Adobe Flash Player. Since this app in unavailable in my country, I'm using Market Enabler in order to download it. I used market enabler for other app which is not available in my country, and it has been installed successfully. When I try to get the flash player, my device (MT3G 32B) downloads it, and when it starts installing it suddenly stops, and I get a notification says the installation was unsuccessful. I touch this notification, and I get 2 messages: "Installation error: Package file is invalid", and "Not found: The requested item could not be found". I am sure the reason is not related to the restrection in my country, since I am able to download other unavailable apps with market enabler. I think the reason is loftover files from the apk installation of The flash player. I installed it few times from apk files, but I was not able to use the browser after the installation so I uninstalled it and tried again, and again. I should find a way to remove ALL the leftover files of this app.
May you help me finding and removing these files please?
Thank you!
same problem with my hd2 on android..
every single app i download from the android market gives a "package file is invalid" error..
anyone has a solution to this problem?
