Stock Unrooted Phone "Unable to Download" Message - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My friend's stock unrooted phone keeps popping up with an unable to download message. It pops like every 5 minutes. He tried deleting all texts in case it was trying to download a picture. Battery pull, numerous reboots. Any suggestions? I do have an app that fixes market permissions if anyone thinks that might be the case. Throw some ideas out there. I did recommend factory reset but he doesn't want to do that..

Reset the vpn settings... or whatever they're called haha

Help! Marketplace either stuck at starting download or download bar dissapears

So, I've recently bought a new vibrant and at first I was able to download some apps after booting, after a few minutes though I can't seem to download anything anymore, the downloads start and the download notification appears on top then dissapears after a second. Hope someone can help. I've tried everything, I've cleared all the cache/data(from checked in service, gtalk, market, etc...), signed out and logged into gtalk, uninstalled market update. I also tried doing a factory reset and even reflashed the rom back to JFD from JI6 but the problem still occurs, after I either hard reset or flash it to stock it works for a few minutes, from 5-30 minutes before the problem occurs again wherein it'd either stay at starting download or the download icon will appear at the notification bar, then dissapear after 1 second. It's been driving me crazy for over a week!
Hope someone has a solution.
Thanks!
This happens to me at times, but after clearing the market apk cache I'm able to download apps properly. Try to clear it a few times before deciding to reinstall the apk. Also, speaking from experience, I dont think that flashing different roms would help too much. Every time i flashed a rom the same problem came back and i would have to do the whole "clear cache" thing over again.
hi, thanks for the help. I've already tried clearing the market cache and other apps but it still doesn't work. I've read of a new market app version 2.2.11, I tried downloading it to the phone and installing it but the phone says something like "error parsing package".

[Q] Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped

Sorry if this is in the wrong place but I've looked everywhere for an answer and i cannot find one,
I have a rooted Nexus 4 with Franco Kernel and Xylon ROM on giffgaff
Whenever i receive a call i cannot answer it because this message shows up and i have to click 'OK' which hangs up, also at the end of outbound calls it shows this message.
This message only occurs when i call/ get called.
I have tried clearing the data from 'Phone' with no avail, also updated my ROM and Kernel. I have reset my Mobile Networks/Access Point Names to default but still this problem occurs. I will be grateful if anyone help and fixes this, Thanks
Hi, I had this problem too and searching around I found a solution that fixed this problem twice for me:
Go to settings -> applications -> all and go to Phone. Clear data & clear cache. Do the same thing with Phone/Messaging Storage apk. You will loose your contacts but it fixed it.
I have my phone contacts sync with my google account so in 10 secs my address book was back and no more "process" problem.
Apparently some kind of corrupted contact causes this, so every time the phone tries to access your contacts and match the phone number, the process crashes.
I hope this helps.
Best,
Ive cleared the Phone data but Phone/Messaging Storage is all blanked out so i cannot click on it? :/ Any ideas?

Were you able to clear your address book? In the end it seems that is what fixes it. Try to delete all your contacts and reboot. Than you can tell if it helps. As far as I know, the next option is to factory reset. That's what I did the first time I got the error, but later it came back because of some bad contact. And if you do that test it by calling yourself from another phone before adding contacts.

I have cleared all my contacts manually and rebooted the phone but still it comes up with the message, Im thinking that i need to clear the data from Phone/Message Storage but i probably clicked force stop on it before and i need to 'Start' it again.
I would just factory reset and flash the rom again.
Honestly i havent got a clue what happened but i did a factory reset and my custom Kernel and ROM were still there and i tried calling myself and it fixed it, somehow :/ Thanks guys

Redownload and reflash the ROM including Gapps, if it still doesn't work then try a different ROM. Make sure you re-download the ROM though, since you may be getting this error due to corruption that occurred when it was downloaded.
Edit:
Oh you fixed it. Never mind.
There's a chance my error started because I flashed the. 33 radio after the ROM and gapps. The correct way is first the radio, than RoM, than gapps. I don't know if that's your case, but be aware of that.
have this occasionally on cm10.1 flashing different nightlies.

This problem is mainly caused by corrupt or incompatible APN predefined settings. Try clearing all of them and just using the one you need.
To speed up the process, navigate closing the error as many times as required to the apn list, and once in the list, toggle airplane mode ON, that will stop the force close to show up, now delete all the entries, and toggle off airplane mode.

First thank you for the fast response.
I have just updating my rom (from cm 10 to cm 10.1) and when the system starts after the end of booting the error appears.
I have activated the airplane mode and no changes the error is continuing and when I go to settings --> the press on more in networks it says: "unfortunately the process com.android.settings has stopped".

Then it's one app that you got installed. Try removing any non essential apps.

ISSUES AFTER ROOT! I get this error after every app install!!!

I am getting an error after every app I install.
First I get the message:
"Enjoy your app! If you ever forget your password, we can help restore access to your Google Play library and purchases. Tap "Continue" to tell us how to contact you."
Then When I Hit Continue:
I get a blackscreen, the a force quit on com.google.android.gsf.login
Am I really the only one with this issue? I even booted into stock recovery and did a restore... Anyone else?
Bumb. No one else is having this problem?
Rooted yesterday, then reinstalled all my apps. Never saw this message. In fact, I don't think I've ever seen that message before in all my five years of Android use.
I rooted earlier today. I have not had this problem.

Uninstall the google update and let it reinstall, might fix it.
1: Bad form to bump after a few hours.
2: Were you completely stock when you did the original rooting? I'd suggest getting the stock ODIN files and flashing back to that, then retry rooting without installing much of anything.
3: I recommend using 7zip to unpack the files. I had issues with WinRAR, but 7zip worked fine.
Rooted mine last night, reinstalled a bunch of apps between last night and today. I've never seen that message before.

Sorry if it was bad form to bump, should have just changed the title. Anyways
It seems like that is working so far. Uninstalled the update for the play store, cleared data and I haven't had a force quit yet.
I don't even get where this message is coming from, and not a lot when googling the issue. Right when I would accept an apps permissions, this message would pop up, I hit continue, and it seems like it tries to open something but screen goes black. Have to re-open play store BUT it was at the last place i was, the app i just installed with the open button. Weird...
thanks you rock

Unfortunately SAE has stopped.

i tried updating to an rooted kitkat version as we as get the Native hotspot going for my Sprint GS4.. however i did something wrong and now. i keep getting pop ups stating "unfortunately, SAE has stopped as well as many other programs.. how can i get this fixed.. i have tried factory reset, and to return to an stock firmware, but i cant get odin to pass. it keeps failing.. I have downloaded all the necessary stock firmware files, drivers etc.. . I can get a recovery to flash,, but the pop-ups for "stopped apps" still appear.. and i cant get pass them.. .
Same issue here
I have tried odin with stock tar and it fails I have no idea where to go next. I am sure it has something to do with the services.jar and services.odex files but how do you get around that.

Dude here is your answer use odin and install clockworkmod latest addition... then download stock kit kat zip put it on your sd card and install via clockworkmod. This work for me cause I was having the same issue. Peace out.
Also having this issue. It started before I rooted. First I did a factory reset, (and assuming that would fix the issue on a completely stock unrooted phone) decided if I was doing a reset there would be no safer time for me to root. So I CF-Autorooted and enabled native hotspot. I believe this is possibly somehow related to my phone and the play market because updating or installing apps seemed to be the common element triggering them to start failing. Google Search would fail over and over every half second after I dismissed the notification making the phone all but unusable, so I did another factory reset, and now SAE (presumably samsung account setup?) is what fails without even the half second in between, completely unusable. I'm afraid my last hope is to one-click it.

Installed a bad root on my phone, how do I get it off?

I tried rooting my phone with some app off the playstore like an idiot, then I couldn't get in my phone. I flashed the BIOS using ODIN and now I have my phone back but I guess the root took as it was still installed when it fired up. I don't use my phone for very much but I can't update, nor send pictures through SMS. I just reset my phone through settings which I thought would fix and wipe the hd clean, but it seems like it hasn't. What do I need to do at this point?
Google how to hard reset. If doesnt work use a flash tool to flash ur phone
I already flashed my bios using ODIN... didn't clear everything like I needed it to. Just reset it it again and it gets stuck on "checking connection", I then sign into my Gmail account using a secondary phone connection and it lets me on the phone. I have to disable connection to wifi or it gets stuck on "checking connection"...
Bump... I can't get on the internet or recieve anything but regular text messages. When I restart my phone it says "unable to download". Any help would be very much appreciated.

Have you tried flashing stock rom for your device using ODIN? That should remove everything and give you a new complete and clean rom.
