I've tried quite a few ways to get access to known Market apps with no luck - even friends of mine can get them but I can't on my two devices (Wildfire and Pioneer Tablet).
Can anyone help? I have tried Market Enabler, and the Appbrain Fast Installer and Web Installer which do not owrk anymore
The one App I am trying to get and have messaged the Dev with no luck for the .APK is 'Andro Daft' - its free and not really an important app but hey, I like Daft Punk. Weird thing is I can find the QR codes all over the net but nothing finds it on my market...and I have already got one of the Devs apps -so he isnt banned/whatever.
Any and all help is appreciated!

Yes I have both the blue and green
Lol that's weird, i searched it up in the market and i can see it.
What rom are you on? Don't forget to clear your market cache and data after you flash his patch (latest one is v6.1 i think) and before you open up the market.

I'm using WildPuzzleROM 2.2.1 v0.7, cleared cache, reflashed ROM twice thinking it might have stuffed other things up. It even did it on factory tel$tra firmware... its weird cos a mate not even 40km away can get it but he isn't exactly versed enough to know how to extract an apk to email to me lol.
I have the same problem. I can't use fast web installer, i fount it on market, i install it, but i get this error.
I use Sympnotic's patched market on Cyanogenmod Nightly 60
Hey everyone, joined xda today in hopes of finding a resolution to a problem I've been having. I'm running cm7.0.3.1 and for some reason, I can't download any files using the browser. I've tried a few different types of files to no avail. I get either a .htm file or it simply says "download unsuccessful" in download manager. Clearing caches didn't help nor did opera mobile. The market still works fine and so do any in-app downloads. What could the cause be? Any help would be appreciated...
Try firefox, it's download manager is different then the others.
Do a quick reboot. That happens to me every so often, that normally fixes it.
Firefox didn't work either, download started but wouldn't actually download, even on wifi. I rebooted a few times, after Mozilla installed, and after clearing caches. I'll keep searchin' and tryin' though
odd..I don't have a clue..try tehs suggestion or reflash cm..odd really odd. Never had a problem..
install a better Rom..lol
Try downloading astro file manager. After download go into app and click menu then more then preferences. Go all the way to bottom and there is a check box that says enable browser downloader. Try that and see if it helps you. Before when I had a similar problem this fixed it.
Edit...I am also running cm7.

Linda file manager also enables that function by default. Search in android market.

Nothing was working... For now I'm on kings alliance ROM which is downloading files fine with the browser. So it's all good.
I have that problem too on Synergy. I am trying the Linda manager thing....hoping it helps

never had any success with file sharing website except hotfile,megaupload using firefox works sometime but hit or miss
Im coming from a nexus s running CM, and on that i was able to download any file on the net direct to the phone.
On my note, i have been trying to do the same thing, however, moments after the download starts, it fails and i get an error message saying that the type of file is not compatible with my device.
The files ive been trying to download are the plugins (such as nVidia) for chainfire 3d... It also happened yesterday when i was trying to download some custom boot animations.
This means i have to wait till i get home, download to my pc then transfer them.
is it because im on the stock rom, and future custom roms will fix this? Or is there something i can change that will sort this?
I am rooted.
Are you using the stock browser?
If so, why not try a different browser, give Opera browser a go and see if you have any more download problems.

That sorts it, thanks.
I do like the stock browser, but its very strange why it wont let you download.
Opera looks nice, ill give it a run
Dolphin browser is another good one.

Hey everyone,
This is not a super important question, but it still irritates me. I wanted to try out the game Arena of Valor (which hit the German PlayStore recently) and play a round with some friends. But it turns out it apparently can't be installed. (My friends running the default roms on their phones (Huawei etc.) Have no issues at all)
I have an Axon7 running one of the latest Resurrection Remix Builds and I am rooted using Magisk. I have not experienced any other problems with downloading or installing apps from the PlayStore.
But whenever I tap on download, the download of the game starts and (since it is a rather large one) takes a while (I get the normal download bar and everything). Then after a while it says "installing" for another like 5 minutes to then suddenly give me an error message which reads as follows (rough translation from German):
" App can not be downloaded.
'Arena of Valor ..... Game' (full name of the game) can not be downloaded. Please try again. If the issue remains you can get help from the Probelmsolving article. (Code of error: 492) "
So obviously I tried again (for like 15 times now), I also tried rebooting my phone several times and I did search the code of error online and found out that it's supposed to be google-related and clearing the cache of the PlayStore and services could fix this, but it did not for me.
At this point I'm pretty confused, since I can install any other app (I've tried so far) just fine and I am now wondering why this would be. Could it be an issue with root, but then again I'd think it would tell me, as other apps did before. Does any one else have this issue or the app successfully installed on their device? Or does anyone have an idea what could cause my problem and fix this? Thanks for any help in advance!
Cheers

Just tried to download it. It worked fine, installed, started up OK. I'm on stock 7.1.1. B05 (A2017G). I'd suggest You to find the game's .apk somewhere (there are some sites hosting android apps) and try to download/install from there.

Hey thanks for your feedback! I already did that as well... should have added it above :/ I downloaded from apkmirror and another site and got it to start nad was asked to give permissions, but after that everytime a pop-up showed up telling me to download again from google play, since there was some kind of error. So that didn`t do the trick either for me.

Well, I'd say I thought so it'd do that, but it did worth a shot. I'm sorry it didn't help.
Edit: Just got something on my mind. On ine of the stock updates (can't remember which one) download from the Play Store was really, I mean REALLY slow through Wi-Fi. But I realized that if I simply start the download then put the phone in 'sleep' mode by pressing the power button, the download speed is just turns back to normal. It was pretty obvious during big downloads. It was really slow (shown 30 minutes or so for finish), then I just pressed power, checked on it in a couple of minutes and download was done. I don't know why it did this, but it worked every time, maybe you should try that. Other than that, go back to stock. jk.

I guess that app has obb too, so you should install an FTP server on your phone and an FTP client on one of your friends' phones, then go to /sdcard/Android/obb/ and copy the folder of the game to the same place on your phone

Lol no, what Play store does is just download the apk from a database and install it on your phone, then download whatever extra files the app needs. If you bought the app it will also provide authentication in case that it needs to get it.
So basically you can do the same process manually (as long as it's free) by downloading the apk and the obb, then moving the obb folder (named com.devname.appname) to /sdcard/Android/obb/.
Otherwise you can try wiping Play store's cache and try to download it, and if that still doesn't do anything delete its data.
Just checking, is your Axon 7 a Chinese version- the A2017?
I have had trouble downloading large data files for games on this from playstore too... It might have something to do with the fact that google had to be installed from other places and google has a security issue with our devices...
After a few updates, currently on B08, it works. Can download apps that failed prior to this update...

No I have the G-Model. So I don't think that should be the issue. But still thanks for the thought!

Ok thanks a lot! Will try to do that, once I come home today and report back if it worked
Just to learn something again, what exactly is OBB? And if I download the apk I don't have the obb with it automatically?
And I`m having trouble copying/moving the folder into obb (apparantly this is not supposed to be done)
Is there a way to do it?

Just move it lol
Where did you get the obb folder from? Try root browser, even if you don't have root.
The obb is just additional files that the app uses. I guess they need to do that because you's have to download the whole thing if they just updated the app like they usually do. So for a 3 GB game you might only need to download ~100 mb instead of the whole 3 GB when you update it

OBB files are basically the data files., just in a different format. The Obb files will come in a separate folder if the whole thing isn't RAR'ed or Zipped up...
You should have games apk file and a separate folder with OBB files inside.

Well I am rooted (Magisk) but ES Explorer is unable to enable the root functions for some reason even though it has Superuser rights in Magisk... And solid explorer as any other I've tried so far won't move files to the obb folder.
And I got the file from the phone of a friend as suggested

Again, try Root browser (the old one won't be able to move stuff to the SD card, but it's even better than the new one). Much better than those two... ES explorer is the worst bloated piece of crap there is.

I agree with you on ES , and tried out the new root browser which leaves a really good first impression! Didn't know of this app so far, so thanks for pointing it out!
But I still can't do it... I'll attach a short screen capture of what is happening for me
