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.

Don't have troubles downloading apps from market or staying synced but for some reason it doesn't like downloading through the browser. Says unsuccessful download, file format incompatible with your device, anyone else have this?
Or know of how to fix? Not sure if its sd card issue or what.

Download astro file manager from the market, and there is a setting in it to fix that. Though read the warning about reading PDF's in Gmail.
I used to have Astro manager but had uninstalled it because I preferred another one but I reinstalled it and didn't change any settings and now it works, thanks!
I did see the option of using the downloader inside Astro and the warning to shut it off when opening attachments from gmail, never noticed that before.
But nice catch and thanks again.
Try a different browser. I have to use Dolphin to get some things to download correctly. Hope this helps.

Hi last few builds ive used cant seem to find apps like paypal or norton security etc.
Ive checked all locations in settings and they seem fine and also set the market as orange UK.
Is there anything else I need to change so they show?
Currently using Beta2 of the Desire HD rom.
Try using Market Enabler
I had the problem with my current build (see sig).
I read somewhere that I needed to install the Eris Market Fix app from the market, which I did but it didn't fix the problem, at least immediately.
Apparently you also need to clear the cache in some occasions too. It's only after clearing the cache that it worked as normal. well at least I think that I cleared the cache, since i emptied the cache folder from within my android folder. give it a try!
Already tried the market enabler. Have just tried that market fix and also cleared cahce and rebooted but still same problem
Thnx for suggestions guys, any more?
Then download your desired app from your computer then transfer it to your pc I think it should work this way

Do you mean transfer it to phone from pc?, yeah obviously that would work but thats besides the point. Im trying to get market to work properly
Besides I cant find what im looking for elsewhere, cant find updated versions of Paypal or Norton anywhere only links to them on market which do not work.
Thnx for suggestion though.

I am Unable to download anything using Dolphin/Stock browsers. When i click on download it saves html file. What shld i do to rectify the problem?
Same problem here, still looking for an answer.
I never had this problem. In fact, the file that i download using stock browser shows up under the downloads app. What type of file are you downloading?

I have the same problem but I am only using the stock browser and I "supposedly"
Downloaded a 5mb file but it was only a 26kb .Htm file....

If it helps, I'm not having this problem at all with Dolphin HD or the stock browser. Let me know if you want to compare stuff (settings, configs, apps, etc.)...?
I haven't tried this on the Acer, but I had the same problem with my Droid x at first.
Go to the market and download "Download All Files". On the Droid, this is a browser addon for stock. Try to install it, launch it, then try the browser again. You might have to kill the process first aafter installing it.
I'm going to test it now for myself.
Download problems
Do you have 'Unknown Sources' checked in Settings-Applications? If not, you won't be able to do it.

Hi all,
I was trying to install AccuWeather for Honeycomb and it's stuck at download.
I can no longer able to install any additional apps successfully (everything was working fine before I tried to download this app).
Killed Market services, reboot did not get rid of this continue AccuWeather download stuckiness.
I have CWM3.1.0.1 mod by solarnz installed with Primordial 3.1 rooted
Not sure if ths is the solution, but some have had luck with clear data for DMClient, Download Manager, Downloads (in Running Services view).

Hi,
The download stuck over night, definitely should not take that long.
Also, I should be able to download and install additional apps in parallel. In my case, additional apps completed download, but always installed unsuccessfully.
Any way, clear cache and force close of Download and Download Manager got rid of this problem.
Some thing is not quite right about my TF and Accuweather for honeycomb app - I tried it again today and it sure stuck again
I can't install it either, and I get the same thing with Pinball HD, I'm thinking it has something to do with the large size of the app.
That is my conclusion as well. I am having the same issue with Accuweather, Pinball HD, and Battleheart. I've tried the various fixes out there: The GTalk sign in method, symlinking the market cache directory to a directory on the SD card. All to no avail. Anyone have any other cogent ideas? I'd really like to be able to use these apps since I paid for them and all (ok, not Accuweather).
Update: 11/20/11 Unofficial Market update which brings it to Version 3.3.12. Better integration with the Music market. You can now download free music and purchase music as well. Sorry U.S.A. only for free music (?)
How to install: download apk and install like any other apks.
http://db.tt/0j3ii5Oq
Here is the latest (leaked?) update of the Market which brings it to version 3.3.11.
And here's how I installed it: I am currently on CM7 nightlies
Download .apk (Market-3.3.11.apk)
Open Root explorer (or any file manager w/ root access)
Move New Market .apk (Market-3.3.11.apk) to system/apps (make sure to mount R/W first)
Move (or delete, but I suggest to move .apk just in case) older market .apk (Vending.apk) to your sdcard
Rename new market as Vending.apk
Fix Permissions (rw--r--r)
Exit Root Explorer (or any file manager)
Reboot
Done! Whew...
OR...
Download .apk
Rename New Market .apk to "Vending.apk" (w/o the quotes)
Install just like any other apllication
Reboot (if necessary)
*I didn't get the chance to try the second option so it may or may not work, but it kinda made sense...
**not sure if (Vending.apk) is the same name for SENSE ROMS (I don't remember) but just make sure to rename it the same way...
FOR MORE INFO... MARKET 3.3.11
Sounds like a lot of work for nothing. Have you tested and confirm that you can buy a new app with this new market apk?

Hmm this actually is worth the trouble. LOL
you could do it the lazy way and hover over the link on this website and after about 3s a qr code will show up
DL'd and installed earlier. I had been having problems with the speed of other 3.x market apps, this fixes those all, even on 3g. However, some of my installed apps aren't showing up (like Google Maps, of all things). I'm sure there's a simple solution to that, though.

Try and clear "market" data through the application settings and reopen the market. See if that worked...

It won't install for me. It keeps saying application not installed. If I use root explorer to place the .apk in the /systems/app folder I just get force closes. Clearing data doesn't help either. I have downloaded it several times thinking it was a corrupted download. I'm at wits end here. I have done everything in this post even before I read it as I have updated to all the other previous market releases without issue.
But for some reason this one just doesn't work. I thought maybe it wasn't working on cm7.1 nightli or or the evo shift but some of you have it working so that isn't it. Let me redo this and maybe format cache and dalvik see if that helps.

did you rename the .apk of the new update?
I had zero issues with the new Market. I just installed it like any other .apk. The new Market is very nice. Many small noticable differences. Like when on the My Apps page and you switch accounts it leaves you on the My Apps page instead of reloading the whole damn Market. Overall new Market is definitly an improvement and Vicodan should stop being such a hater

I did try that, but no luck. I'll probably just ignore it until the next time I flash a ROM. Then it'll fix itself, so that's fine. I imagine it's only going to be a few days until I do that anyway.

Titanium Backup can restore all your Market links. I believe there's also other apps designed just to do that too. Use TB or search for an app that restores Market links.

If your use titanium backup to restore or install your apps go into the settings and use market doctor. This will fix missing links to apps in the market that you have installed.

I used your second instructions to install it but I didn't rename it and it installed fine. I didn't need to change permissions or reboot, just touched the Market-3.3.11.apk after I downloaded it and it installed. Thanks.

I did this the first time i downloaded the .apk and it didn't work for me. That's why I had to do it the long way...
Are you on a Sense ROM?
Good to know that it installed fine for you.
