Trouble downloading from the market - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, not sure if this is a common problem or not. I recently updated to CM 4.2.3.1. And ever since, i'll download an app and it will sit in my downloads section and just says "starting download" I have to cancel download and try again but i have to sit in the app's page and watch it in order for it to start the download. IS there an easy fix for this? I wiped before flashing the latest update and i even ran "fix_permissions". and still the same problem. any help would be appreciated. Thank you

Market Downloads Unsuccessful

Hey everyone I noticed recently that my phone was not able to download applications from Market that are larger than 5MB each. I don't remember having this issue before and I noticed it about a week ago. Since then I've wiped and re-flashed the latest Cyanogen-Mod and updated to the new radio. I noticed it at first when trying to download Project INF from Chicken Brick Studios. Then again with Epocrates App. And the latest has been Drinkspiration by ABSOLUT. These are all free apps available on the market and they're larger than 5MB each. When I download it hardly begins the download then just states Download Unsuccessful. Like I said I don't remember having this issue before and every other app I download that's less than 5MB has no issue. I searched the forum and found nothing on the subject and was wondering if anyone else has the same issue or knows of a fix or if it's something on my end. Thanks for your help.
I've encountered this with some roms, usually I'd just try to re-download and watch the download page(in the tabs) to see if they actually downloaded. This normally happens with apps2sd(I dunno if cy's rom has it) but that might be your problem. I would recommend trying a different rom and see if this problem consists.
Thanks for the quick reply. I have apps2sd and i have encountered that issue that you're stating but this is a little different. Even if some apps hang at times they'll eventually download if I cancel download then restart the download. But everytime I've tried downloading an app that's more than 5MB it doesn't hang or even start the download at that. It just says download unsuccsessful. I've been trying for a week to download through wifi and 3g and edge networks and nothing. However if the app is less than 5mb large I have no issues at all with download and installation. Hope this clarifies a bit and I thank you all again for your help.
SuperD
i have this problem too with the latest SuperD rom. every time i try to download the office soundboard it always says download unsuccessful.
I just found this information about the issue in Cyanogen Forums:
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?/topic/1263-download-aborted-not-enough-free-space-in-internal-storage/
This is the exact issue I'm having. I guess the issue is with the latest Cyanogen Mod version. I'd hate to wait until a new version is released. Does anyone know of a fix for this?
I just wiped my phone again and installed the old Cyanogen Mod v4.2.14.1 and I was able to download apps larger than 5mb with no problem. I then did a no-wipe flash to the newest Cyanogen Mod v4.2.15.1 and the issue is back again. So I confirmed the issue is with the newest update for Cyanogen. Is there any reason why the larger downloads don't work now with the new update? I'll check the newest changelog maybe it'll show something there.
Something in the latest version is apparently taking up more room on the cache partition or the cache partition is now smaller.

Google Maps 4.2.0 now in Market

http://googlemobile.blogspot.com/2010/05/google-maps-for-android-gets-biking.html
Includes biking directions, sharing of places via SMS/e-mail, etc, and a new Navigation icon in the app launcher.
G maps
Thx, for the update notice!
The Navigation program says my region (Canada) is still not supported. I know some work has been put in to get around that in earlier versions but I was wondering if anyone was planning on hacking the new one...just out of curiosity, really.

I had such problems on other ROM when I had little space on my cache partition. But on CM 5.0.7 I have this partition nearly empty.
Just look into logcat. There is probably some error message.
apk 4.2.0

*downloading*
yes it helped to get 4.2.0
but market still shows google maps as "to be downloaded"
anyways, your url helped to get 4.2.0 thanks so much
I tried to update multiple times this morining on wifi with the same error "download unsuccessful. I tried everything, wipe cache, fix permissions - NO GO. Then I tried to do the update with wifi off, on the edge network and it worked. Hope this helps someone.
I got the "low storage space" error while downloading and got the same installation unsuccessful error that others are getting. After freeing up some internal storage and then rebooting, 4.2.0 installed just fine.
Must of been a G1 thing lately. I finally got the new Map app to download today. Took me I don't know how many tries. I finally ended up deleting 4.11 or whatever the last was. Rebooted a few times and then tried again.
It's not just the G1. I read in the Nexus forum that those users were also having a hard time installing 4.2.0. Something was definitely weird with this update.

why you don`t show some pic
Got it too two days ago, when the paid market is available to Singapore. I was browsing the market and find it look different but cannot figure out what is it, until I go to downloads and realise that it has a Update All button, this where I realise I got the 2.2 market.
However I thought the new market is only 2.2 only?
Great
Will try out later

Mine crashed when I first tried to open a paid app's page, but after that it works again, when I reopen Market. Have you tried uninstalling the update and let it update again and once it done that, close and reopen market and try to poke around to see if it force close again.
Thanks for this, used the Apk... no issues to report.
Market Update (eclair)
90% of people already got it...
Good lookin out though! Worth the DL for those on custom roms that didnt get it.
I havent received this update and the APK provided causes force closes all the time. Im Telus Milestone on telus running GOT 2.1 update /w TELUS Lite 4.1
anyone else getting this problem?
Just update manualy. This silent update needs OTA update enabled. As it is basicly OTA, but just the silent version And custom ROMs dont have OTA working usualy.
The best feature in this market was not posted.
This market remembers what apps you had installed, and after doing factory/changing ROM this market automaticly installs back all the apps! Wonderful, no more need for MyBackupPro, well it is for apps that should be bought

Im also running TELUS Lite 4.1 and getting the exact same problem.
sooo... what features do we gain over the update that was given by default, versus your .apk file?
Is it really worth my time to get this?
As far as know there is no difference to getting update ofcialy or like this way? After all update only updates the market app, nothing else.
Thanks for apk.
I (for one) did NOT receive this update (OTA).
THANKS for the APK! I appreciate it...

Cant install apps!!!! Need help urgent!!

I cant download any apps from the market for whatever reason. Was able to yesterday, and not today. When I click on the app I want to install from the market, I get the download icon appear on the task bar above for a second, then it disappears. The only program I installed today, is "Dynomaster". I tried to remove that app, but still no luck. And yes, I tried to restart the phone. Im running rooted Froyo 2.2. Please help. Thank you!!
UPDATE:
After several tries of opening and trying to update, and closing the market, it came with a license agreement. After agreeing, I'm able to download the apps now.... Still don't know what happened :\

installed cmod7, stuck at "Setup Wizard"

Installed cmod7 stable (7.2) and the gapps file (found in another link - the one on nookdevs doesn't work). On first boot, it is stuck at a screen that just has a bar that says "Setup Wizard". The bar doesn't appear to be tapable. Search forum, no threads found on this.
Thanks in advance!

rebooted, still problems

I powered off and then on so it would reboot - it went through the setup screens. I get aborts of android.process.media so it won't let me go through the google play icon. When I try to click on Nookreader for android while on barnes and noble web site, it aborts again. I had the latest daily on here 2 days ago and was getting the same abort, but only twice when android first started. Tapping on google play then said "server error" and would NEVER work. Tried through the web - said I needed to use google play app - hence a big loop of nothing working. That's when I went to the "stable" version of 7.20 encore. It doesn't appear to want to do anything right.
Any advice on getting this all to work would be greatly appreciated. Using clockwork with the nook 1.4.3 firmware is getting old just to get back to a device that works, albeit not with full android.

Perform it in two steps... first flash CM7 alone... reboot it... set up wifi... let it settle... THEN flash gapps and set up google stuff.
still stuck - different place

Thanks so much for the help! I really want this to work!
I installed just CM7 and booted up - got one message about the media thing again but only one. I then went to set up wifi and now I'm stuck at that screen - then n button doesn't pop up anything to let me go back to something - like home.
I don't know if it makes any difference - I did the format data/system reset option then the cm7 flash, but it is still remembering my wireless settings somewhere as it automatically connects and it's a wpa2 network. Is there another step for erasing/formatting something that I missed?
Sorry to sound so stupid - but I'm completely a noob (LOVE the video on the registration page!).
Thanks so much again!
Dave:
nope - still not working
Well, installed cm7 and set up wifi, checked it was working by going to the web. Let it sit a few minutes, then reboot with the microSD and installed the gapps. Rebooted, went through google setup, then tried the google play via the icon on the home screen - same thing. It repeats the android.media.application abort message 2 times and then aborts the google play before I even get anywhere.
So......I'm wondering about my google apps zip file -> it said it was google apps for android 2.x.x, whereas I thought the cm7 I installed was android 3. Does this make a diffference?
Thanks again!
Dave :fingers-crossed:
Click here for the correct Gapps file:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version/Google_Apps
still failing
I downloaded the cmod 7.0 file and the gapps (thanks Hoser88!!), created the microSD, booted, did the format data/system reset and installed cmod 7.0. Rebooted, got the same 2 error messages about "android.media.application" aborting, then checked wireless and it was running.
Rebooted with the microSD and installed gapps, removed microSD and rebooted, got the same 2 error messages. Tapped on "Market", it showed a screen with something circling in the middle VERY briefly, then that closed out and the same 2 error messages came up again.
I'm starting to get worried, as I *think* I'm doing what I'm supposed to yet it doesn't work for me. Any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated!
Just to see what happens, I'm going to try the latest nightly cmod7 and see what that does.
Thanks!
Dave
same problems........
I made the microSD with the latest nightly of cmod 7 and the gapps pointed to above. I flashed cmod 7 first, booted, checked wireless, etc.. Still get the same 2 aborts about android.process.media on startup. I then booted again with the microSD and installed the gapps, removed microSD and rebooted. Got the same 2 aborts on startup. Tapped "Market", you see another screen the says "loading" very briefly, then that screen goes away and the android.process.media abort shows and I have to tap force close (this happens twice). I have no idea what this media process is, but is there a way to disable it? I get the feeling it is contributing to my problems.
I'm really lost here. I want this SO bad. I want to have full Android, and have both the Nook and Kindle reader apps so I can keep all my books on 1 device.
Thanks in advance!
dave
Tried more, still fails
I tried a recent suggestion on the cyanogen nook color forum: format data/factory reset and format /system, then install. I did this using the latest nightly and gapps - still got the same abort twice. Found another note in the cyanogen forum saying to go to the rom app and run set permissions and then reboot. I did that - STILL get the aborts. Can't get to google play (shows as "Market") get the quick "Loading" screen followed by immediate close of that and 2 more aborts for adroid.process.media.
I know it remembered my wireless, etc. again. Is there something else I need to format so it completely forgets everything so I'm starting from a clean slate? What can be causing the adroid.process.media abort and how do I get rid of it? Sometimes I think it thinks it is running on a phone, and obviously it's not - do I need to something additional for that as well?
I'm feeling quite confused right now. I've done everything from here and from what I read in the cyanogen nook color forum, but I still can't get this to work. What's the use of running cmod 7 if I can't access the google app store? Please help!
Thank you,
Dave
It works!!
Don't know WHAT I did - I just completely re-downloaded everything - the clockwork image (16gb), the cmod 7.0, and the gapps. Before installing, I went in with the existing install that wasn't working as it should and turned off several apps and cleared their cache when available. I then booted the new microSD - format data/system reset, format /system, installed cmod 7 zip and gapps zip. Removed microSD and rebooted. No more message about android.process.media aborting! It also asked me to set up my Google stuff again, so that was a step in the right direction. I then tried "Market", and IT WORKED!! It still aborts occasionally but I just go right back in and keep going. I did run into something I don't understand - the Nook for Android app page puts a message at the top saying it's not compatible with my device!! Huh? Do I need to may install cmod7.2 stable since this part is working now?
Thanks for the help!! If anyone could help me through the rest of this (get Nook for Android app, getting Kindle for Android app) then I should be good to go from there. I can always download other apps I might want, but I just want to get those 2 working first.
Thanks again!
Dave
It works and I have Kindle and Nook apps!
I updated to 7.20 stable (least wise I hope I did it right - I just flashed from zip but didn't format anything first). After that update I was able to get the B&N Nook reader and the Kindle reader apps! Everything seems to be working fine now - no aborts, nothing!
So.....a BIG THANK YOU to everyone who helped me out!
Thanks SO much!!
Dave :good:
mark as solved?
Some of the other forums I'm on have a set of thread tools - one of which lets you mark the thread as solved. Is there a tool like that on this forum (haven't found it yet if there is) ?
