Hi folks,
Dont know what is happening here, but for whatever reason I cannot install any apps from AppBrain or Market.
This problem also exists or is consistent with no matter which ROM that I use, meaning if I use JoeStones, CM7, whatever.
Saying this, I what I can do is download .APK files or apps on my own webspace fine enough. Which then show up in downloads and install fine so just not sure why it is that I cannot install from Market or Appbrain.
The message I get from Market is when clicking install is: Starting Download
And that is it, nothing else happens and it seems to sit on that for endlessly so then cancel it and try to figure out why it wont download so I can install, hence which brings me to here making this post.
Any ideas or possible solutions?
(I have also used the reset factory after doing previous installs with no effect)
Folks, I finally found the answer to my problem to the questions I asked.
For the sake of others whom come across the same problem ever, in this instance it may have something to do with what Modem/Router/Firewall you are using.
The case for me I am using a Billion modem router with firewall set to high and discovered I need to allow TCP port 5228 allow outbound traffic to the exceptions or rules.
This then allows google talk to start straight up and downloads just flew down over my WLAN where I use my phone.
Sorry for all the previous questions or posts, but I never knew that Market downloading was on a Port related task basis.
Good luck to others whom also come across this issue.
Cheers
Same Problme for me..I am using GPRS only how to solve my Problem...
Hi there,
my problem is that I can't download some apps from market. These apps are large (like Angry Birds or similar, bigger that 15 mb). When I try to download a notification appears, which tells me, that it's starting download and then it disappears. And with smaller apps like translator or astrid task list I don't have any problems.
It started about 1-2 weeks ago.
The problem isn't in my network connection - I disabled firewall (droidwall), checked if app will be downloaded on gprs/edge, 3g and multiple wi-fi's (included hotspot made by my friend from his htc, which downloads apps).
I looked over the web to find the solution and here's the list of what I've tried:
1. Log in to gtalk while downloading.
2. Delete market cache.
3. Delete market data.
4. Delete download manager cache&data.
5. Unmount SD card while download is starting (and mount it back).
6. Uninstall market updates.
7. Make '.cache' folder on sd card.
And it didn't work. I didn't try to use factory reset, but I believe you'll find the solution (btw what does factory reset delete?).
Please help me, because I simply don't know what to do next.
Ah, and last thing: I use Android 2.3.5, swiftdroid 2.0 rc4 (based on cyanogen mod 7.1.0 RC1).
Which is the best rom that supports all the things????with out market android sucks

HI all, this past weekend Kies popped up with a notification that there was a firmware upgrade for my Galaxy S. I immediately downloaded and installed it, I guess a newbie mistake. When completed I found that all my apps vanished and my settings went back to out of the box state. Though annoying I spent much of Saturday morning trying to get my phone back to where I had it before the update. The issue now though is that when I log into the market I find I am unable to download certain apps, I get to the install button on the phone then I get an error message "file not found". This is troublesome as there are a few apps that I had before the upgrade that I can no longer install, including paid apps, (examples Pandora, Pure Calendar) nor am I able to install certain new apps. I read that the market will no longer display protected content after this upgrade. I spoke to Samsung who told me to take the phone back to the Bell store. Bell told me to call Samsung as it is a firmware issue
Has anyone else experienced this, and does anyone know of a solution to the problem.
Thank you

Some people suffered market problems after upgrading to the UK-released JM1 last week. Apparently Samsung has to notify Google that they released an official update, so that Google allows access to paid and copy protected apps for that firmware. It took a couple of days for everyone to see everything over here. Maybe you just have to wait a bit (?)
Same happened here in Australia.. It was fixed the next day. I called Samsung to complain about it (when it was still happening) and was told that there was nothing they could do (which seemed like rubbish to me)..
If you are updating to a unsupported (beta) fw, make sure you install a rom or replace your build.prop file with a supported fw file.
Hi my phone is a month old now, everything is stock..no mods so far..I am having multiple problems with my phone.
- I cannot download anything from Market..it starts download and then 'download unsuccessful'
- FM radio never worked for me, not even after manually tuning it.
- I am not able to use wifi..it just says 'obtaining address...'
I did a factory reset yesterday and after that I was able to download 2~3 apps from Market..but today I am facing the same issue again.
Please help me guys..
Thanks guys for the help, it turns out that the issue was exactly what you said, but maybe more to the point, my own impatience.
Thanks again

I am on the Captivate running the beta I897UCJH2 firmware. I have market issue with some apps (e.g., Asphalt 5 HD, Fandango, and G4Tv) not showing up. I tried your method of copying over the build.prop file from the official I897UCJF6 firmware release. Even rebooted after doing that. The missing apps never showed up, so I reverted back to the JH2 build.prop file. Any other suggestions to fix my issue?
P.S. - Spoke too soon. This does work. Someone suggested clearing Market cache, followed by reboot, and then installing and reinstalling a couple of apps. And that did the trick.
from what i can gather it seems to be related to a location issue, as in certain apps will not show up for some countries and other apps will, etc.
so if you load firmwares from different geographic location the market is filtering what it allows/not allows bassed on the rom firmware location.
it'll be great if we can remove that filter and have it show everything online.
the work around that i do is find and download the apps via browser, instead of market
also avoid the barcode scanner downloads, which just launches the market app

Are you saying there a site where I can get the all the apks for these missing apps downloaded by bypassing the market? I have never run across it so far. Every one of the solutions so far has the phone launching the market app at some point, which fails, as the apps are not listed or downloadable there. The apps I am talking about are all free and should be legally able to be sideloaded, but how?
Anyone else having these problems?
Starting Download...
When you try to download from the Market, it hangs at "Starting Download..." and stays there for days? When you try to open Gtalk it perhaps immediately force-closes?
I was trying to find the solution to this for about four or five days - in the end, I had to do a factory reset. Google is (mostly) unresponsive about this problem.
Things I tried:
Toggling Wifi (nothing)
Changing google acct password so the Market has to ask for it again, perhaps resetting something? (didn't work)
Clearing data, cache, the whole shebang from Gtalk, Market, Gapps (no juice)
Couple of restarts (noooope)
Starting downloads and then killing the Market app - still nothing, and done mostly as a last resort.
Possible causes:
It was not tied to rooting the device - what I think happened was when I went to purchase Root Explorer, I had to create a Google Checkout subaccount, and then I was able to grab it...but after that, I could not install any apps from the Market. It seems like internationally this issue is tied to being @googlemail vs @gmail, but that wasn't my case. I've since restored Vb to her former glory, but it was tedious...factory resets suck and I hope I never have to do another one.
What I've done to keep this from happening in the future:
ROM Manager and Clockwork Recovery. I had backups of my apps and data on my computer of course, but this is soooo much easier.
I'll definitely let you know if it ends up flailing out on me again, but so far I haven't had any problems. If you have an app to back up your stuff, or if you want to just do it manually, do that and then selectively restore things after the factory reset. I actually had so few apps that I ended up just re-downloading them from the Market and everything is working smoothly, but that might be a hassle for others.
I had this problem back on my G1 but that was because I removed the IM.apk package not knowing what the result would be. I got it reinstalled and all was well. I've not run into this issue yet with my Vibrant nor do I know anyone else who has.
Had the same issue and found a way to fix it.
Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> Filter -> All -> Download Manager -> Clear Data
Should work. Worked twice for me. I think this is a Vibrant issue

Not so, fortunately or unfortunately. People have been having this issue for over a year and a half, and different things fix it for different people.
I'm pretty handy around a computer, but after 4 days of frustration here's what I discovered:
1) From stock 1.3 - running manuNooter 4.6.18 then 4.6.16 (and 4.6.16a) won't get the market working (I had better success reverting back to 18, but it was still flaky and I had to reflash every few hours to continue seeing apps on my SD card). 16 and 16a kept crashing and wouldn't load the market at all.....it would populate then crash.....even after clearing all data and fixing permissions.
2) CM7 resulted in a hobbled market that wouldn't recognize my device as a 'legit device' on which to install apps. I could manually install apk's, but not from the market. I know that I could screw with the build.prop to change the type of device, but I wasn't keen to do so since people were having mixed results.
So is it fair to say that the market it toast atm? If so I'll let the ridiculously smart people work on it and check back in a while?
The smart people all used search and aren't here anymore.

Condesention aside - I did try the contents of that thread before I posed my question. That thread though is a fix for CM7. When I had CM7 on my NC the problem I had with the market was to do with the error that 'this device is not compatible' - not with the visibility of the market itself. Thus I reflashed with Stock 1.3 and used MN and 4.6.XX in an attempt to get market that way.

Sorry - I guess my question wasn't clear: I was looking at all the threads on market access with manuNooter - and tried most everything myself. As far as I can tell - there doesn't seem to be a reliable fix to gain permanent Market access right? 4.6.18 seems to lose access from my experience (plus it uses the 'old market'), and 4.6.16 doesn't get access for me for more than a second until it crashes (and the data clear trick doesn't work for me). That's why I was asking whether or not I'm just missing a solid solution or there just isn't one.
TIA
Hi all
I am new to Android.
I recently converted my hTC HD2 from Windows to Anadroid NAND. The funny part is regardless which version I use Like [BOYPPC, MIUI, CyanogenMod7 or Ultimate Droid] I can't see my Widgets after I install them. They are in the installed apps menu but not under Widgets menus.
To add more problems, whenever I start up the wireless, it connects and obtains an IP, but there is no Internet. So I installed proxy and now I have Internet. But another problem rises is that the web browser will not allow me to access SSL web pages like gmail or Android Market. Data Connectivity problem: A secure connection could not be established.
So basically the Android HD2 has been reduced to a phone function only with some few apps I can install from web. Some apps I can't download from web cuz it require Adroid market (secure connection could not be established).
I wonder do all Android NAND's exhibit this behavior or is there a workaround to the two problems I have?
What radio version do you have on your phone right now?
Sent from my HTC Desire HD A9191 using XDA App
Radio 2.15
MAGLDR 1.13
Move all widgets to internal storage, otherwise they won't work. And also, no, not a single Android ROM has these as known problems as far as I know, your other problems are due to something else
Agree^
If you are trying to "install" the widgets they will not be seen by the system. I am guessing you have a compolation of widgets that you have aquired over time.
To expand a bit more on the previous post I would advise first un-installing all the widgets you tried installing then copying the widgets to your "/system/app" folder using some file explorer program then restart your phone. I would also advise just to reduce the risk of any other problems to durring the restart go into your recovery then delete cache, delete Dalvic Cache then fix permissions. It may be over kill and it will make the restart take longer but it gets the easy troubleshooting things out of the way early.
As for the no connection problem... the phone worked correcly in WM6.5? Did you try to connect or call prior to installing all of your apps? Have you gone in and phisically made sure that all of the APN settings match with what they should be? Do you know what they should be?

I would think that that is complete overkill for the widget problem, you're making it far too complicated.
@ OP Just go to settings>manage applications>widget which you want to move>move to internal storage, works for me every time without fail. Also you may want to change the default install location to 'automatic' as I'm sure most widgets automatically install to the internal storage anyway
hTC HD2 NAND
Thanks to all who have participated. You have been very helpful
Moving the widgets to the internal RAM has showed up in the Widgets menu. yay.
As for the WM6.5 it worked perfectly with wireless "once the proxy is defined in there".
Now I am down to one problem. Wireless Internet.
The wireless works fine even with Android. But there is no Internet pages as default configuration. Once the Proxy "TransProxy" is installed and running with proxy "IPort" only then there is Internet. Is this normal?
I can access SSL web pages via 3G connection, but the running cost is high. Wireless is the best choice. But I am slapped with "A secure connection could not be established".
I hope I have answered your questions as well, and you guys are great.
No clue whatsoever if this will help but I saw this somewhere else so:
Go to settings>wireless and networks>WiFi settings>menu>advanced>regulatory domain>13 (at least that's what I have) then menu>save. May help, may not and sorry if it doesn't
Thanks again all for the help & tips.
Do I sense that out of a box fresh installation of Android NAND does not support Internet browsing without a proxy app?

I have been using Android for quite some time now. I haven't had this problem..
If I understood you right, this only happens on wifi right??
And you said you can only download a few apps in market place correct?
I am not certain but the problem could be with MAGLDR... I know that MAGLDr uses whats called RMNET it's a type of connection to internet but thats about all I know.. cLK (the other bootloader) uses whats called PPP instead of RMNET. I am not certain but I've read in several developer threads where cLk (PPP) is more stable than the RMNET.
I do not know if cLK would fix your problem or not, but it could be worth a try. I know these connection types are especially a big factor in the new ICS builds.
Yes this only happens on wifi.
From Hd2: I enable wifi->connect to AP->obtain IP->connected to AP.
Launch web browser from HD2 and nothing happens. To confirm connectivity I use my desktop or laptop to ping the IP address that I obtained from the HD2 and it replies. No issues there. This only confirms that HD2 is indeeded connected to AP.
Since I do not have Internet on HD2, I install TransProxy IPort->enable it and the browser opens Internet. Hmmm.
Actually I cant access the market yet as I cant log-in to Google. HTTPS.
Summing it up:
No proxy = no Internet.
TransProxy = Internet http only. https are slapped with "secure connection could not be established"
I hope this clears things more.
As a last resort, I am thinking to re-flash everything from Zero. I use latest versions.
HSPL- 2.08 HSPL
Radio 2.15.50.14
Task 29
MAGLDR1.13
Recovery 150M repartition & CWR 3.0.2.5
Install ROM from CWR -> HyperDroid-CM7-Killer-Koala-v5.5.2-magldr-signed
Anyone would like to comment on the steps I use?
Once done I will update you with the results.
Thanks all to your help & feedback
I reflashed everything from zero as I mentioned and I still have this problem.
What I meant to say able to download, I meant to say I am able to download files and attachments from normal Internet sites that do not require SSL. I am unable to get into the Android Market as it requires SSL. I never logged into the app market using my android. A secure connection cannot be established once the Proxy is configured. No proxy no Internet. A viscous endless circle.
So to all Androdians out there, you just enable Wifi, get connected to AP and you have Internet without defining a proxy on your Android?
Well, to all of you who have participated, thanks for your help.
I solved my problem with a simple app called AutoProxy. I now can log into the Android Market
I hope this tips would come in handy to anyone searching the forum.
And I am loving the NAND Android on HD2. For the first time in my life I feel I am using a phone for other than a phone. WM6.5 sucked big time.
Keep up the Good work and lets help others.

Nice to see you've sorted things out
Hi all
I've had this bizarre issue on my phone where on the drop down notification bar, it says the Download Manager is downloading... It will be a strangely named document.. The last one was Skepticism and something or other... If I click on it nothing happens, I don't know what app is downloading it.. I have not downloaded anything and all I can do is cancel it if I'm quick enough.
I can't find any info on this issue on Google and I'm worried it's a virus... But again, I'm unable to establish where on earth it's coming from.
It happens occasionally (ie not every day) once I'm connected to the Internet.
Has anyone else experienced this and are there any solutions!?
Many thanks.
Hi, first use this site www.virustotal.com , this is an online virus analyzer that use more than 60 anti virus to scan the file (everything online) and gives you info about it, where it comes from etc , use this to be sure your mystery file is clean (I use this site very often it is just wonderful)
And then you are using a 3rd party download manager app? If you are be sure it is a reputable app and with my personal experience I have used a lot and the best one is by far ADM (advanced download manager), and if you know the download comes from the 3rd party download manager try to delete data of this app or if it comes from a browser you can see from which site this thing is downloading.
But if you still have this issue I can advise that;
Uninstall the kind of useless and dangerous apps like clean master, any """battery saver""" apps or flashlight apps that only display ads, use ram and battery and have very suspicious permissions and you have all those features built in.
Next do some spring cleaning, uninstall apps you aren't using and check the permissions settings to see if there is some suspect things, like a flashlight app that can access your contacts, sms, storage and location for example, you get the point
I hope it will be resolved, and you will see this website is great and will gives you infos about your file have a nice day
