I have tryed 2 different routers @ work and home

Could be that your 3G is using background data, so it has no bandwidth left for other downloads.
Disable your Background data : Settings -> Accounts and sync -> Turn off Background Data and Auto-Sync
Can you browse the web on 3G ? What about using another gmail account ?

i can use Android Market in both 3G and WiFi
are you able to browse the web when only using WiFi ?

Solved....
Wifi router firewall??? Disable and problem solved lool

Ive trued a few things ive read off forums to fix it like delete the download manager data and checking gmail settings but still. Nothing

Maybe ur over the download limit. Some providers have limits to how much you can download. So i think you should check ur provider

Im with optus in australia got a 2gig limit still got plenty left. The strange thing is i can still download through android browser. I think i mite have to do a factory reset but trying to think of ways around it koz just got the fone how i like it lol

You could try settings/applications/manage/download manager and delete data that has worked for some people but not 4 me lol. i think it has something to do with settings that go messed up by an app

Thank goodness I found this thread!! I've been going completely mad for a couple of days. I've re-flashed the damned phone 100 times, formatted the SD, repartitioned, cleared the cache, I've tried another google account etc etc. I'm with Optus too and it started happening when my JPC firmware started acting up yesterday. I decided to try JPH and I couldn't download any APPs. Currently I'm not near my WIFI so I'm not sure if that works but I'll check it out soon.
I even went all the way back to the Optus branded firmware JG4 to see if that works and that was dead too.
If it's some kind of Optus thing, I'm OK knowing it's not something with my phone. Hopefully they will fix it soon.

This is fk. Had same problem with Optus. Tried everything with no luck. Gonna ring Optus today.

I certainly hope you didn't disable the entire firewall, instead merely opened up the specific port(s) required by the market?
If the latter, could you share the port numbers, please? Thx!

That's odd, mine works perfectly fine and everything is just smoother.
I have noticed a little lag actually, mainly when opening an apps page... Hopefully this will be resolved soon.
Mine was lagging on the first day. Been fast today though. I think it's just their Market database refreshing the caches located worldwide to include 2.2 in the filter rules. (The rules that determine whether an app shows up in your device)

Yeah, I just checked and I think it was just a temporary thing, things seem to be up to par now.
I was having the same problem...
Fixed by going to settings->privacy then unchecking both checkboxes (first the second the the first, as just the first didn't fix it for me)..
I think it's that it's trying to restore an app no longer available and that's what's using all the resources?
works!

Can you be more specific when you say updated radio. the froyo updatw till put you on 32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.12_7 - so I assume you mean downgrading the radio rather than updating? Or did you reflash the new radio version afetr flashing froyo. This info could be useful to many experiencing problems with froyo

Confirmed this works. Just disable restore automatically.
Hmm my market is still unbearbly slow. I have just given up using it now until official froyo is out. No great loss as it means I don't have to wade through the masses of chinese girl porn in there.

Can connect to WiFi Hotspot...but not get password screen

To make the subject line clear: I tried to connect to a Hotspot (provided by the local cable company at the gym I go to), I need to go into the browser and accept the rules (what a pain). But, I get no internet connection.
Another person there brought up theirs, and it worked fine.
Any sugestions on what I need to do to get this working. Oh...I do connect and get an IP address, but I can't get to the internet it seems.
Might help to give a little more info about your phone, like what ROM of any. What browser do you use?

Tried it while there today. I must have typoed something. All I could find was Dolphin HD. Tried that, and it didn't work.
I'm installing it now, and will try. Not overly optimistic given 3 others, including Dolphin HD, does not work.
Seems to me it must be something about getting redirected to the hot spot home page is a problem, but I have no idea how I would address that.
I'll post back in a couple days. I'll be up there Friday.

WIFI direct

Does anyone know how to use Wifi direct with the HTC one to transfer moderate to large files like movies or videos.( beam/bue tooth is to slow) Everytime i try to use it with any phone it fails or doesn't connect. ive also tried third party apps like super beam/ send!/file transfer/ none of which work. i find it hard to believe that the HTC one is suppose to compete with the GS4 and GS3 but cant do any features that mimic S BEAM its a fail on HTC. if anyone could help to get this to work i would appreciate it thank you

Superbeam works fine on my HTC one. Use it to transfer between my one and my Nexus 10 all the time. Make sure Wifi direct is enabled on your phone, I believer there is an option to block it if you don't want people connecting, or something.
Every time I use it it says wifi direct fail I've tried HTC to HTC and HTC to Samsung I have my wifi and wifi direct turned on still not working I even went into the wifi direct option and manually paired with device still not working also tried a different HTC to make sure it's not mine still having same is first file was 86kb failed next was 1gb movie failed

Maybe you could try doing a factory reset or a custom rom, maybe something is borked in your os.
Have the same problem. Try to use WiFi direct with my wife's gs3 so I can watch a movie on my ps3 and her phone kept saying connection failed. Her sbeam was on and we were paired. Kinda weird. Any way on a side note any way to connect our phone as mass storage instead of mtp?

MadMan3353, we are building an app that does exactly just that. The app is called Drop, and it is a simple, fast, and secure way to share files with people/devices in proximity over WiFi Direct. We are going into a limited Private Beta soon, so if you're up for the challenge, (and running Jelly Bean) then sign up at www.get-drop.com. Seats are limited, and we have a rolling enrollment, so check it out.

This is why I think Samsung in the long run is going to lose...as they copied their way to the top, they are becoming like Apple...create a closed-ecosystem solution. At a minimum you need to create something that works at least within Android....and if you're ambitious, make it work cross-platform with iOS....shameless plug...go check out what we're doing at www.get-drop.com! Going into Private Beta soon for Android first...

No warranty.Thanks but I do not think is a hardware issue since this is happenning only with a couple of videos applications that consumes a lot of data I do not understand because my plan is unlimited,also they load inmediatly via Wifi.Do you think T mobile has to do anything with this.Please do you have any other idea I can try.Thanks

Flash to stock and see if your still having problems if so call tmobile
By your answers I'll assume you have stock Rom (operating system for the phone).
Second question, what T-Mobile plan do you have?
I might be wrong but since you are only having problems with video, seems you have gone above the 4g limit and it was throttled back to 2g and hence why you are having problems loading video. One way to find out is to wait until next billing cycle and see if video works fine over data

Error 403 driving me nuts.

I've tried everything I can, from removing accounts to clearing cache and data. I've removed the account and re added.
I bought dogcatcher with account 1.
If I remove account 1 and add account 2, it still thinks I've purchased it. I've removed both and added number 2 back. Same issue and so far only with this app.

Did I got it right? Purchased an app with Acc 1, get an error when trying to update it with acc 2? Or is it just showing as "purchased" with Acc 2?
Showing as purchased which is odd. I don't mind buying again. It just won't let me.

After much investigation, it turns out it was my network, three.
However, the problem with 403 is still present. It's got so bad, I've had to buy another podcast app to tide me over. Looks like Doggcatcher is off the menu. Shame, but I'm tired of pissing about with this.
I surrender. Voice recorder pro is doing it now. Any ideas?

Same. Even after wiping and only adding one account, it still does it with the same apps. There must be a more serious issue. I can't use apps I've paid for and have to buy alternatives.

I thought I would try again today, still the same thing. I've had to BUY 3 alternative apps because the ones I bought will no longer download. Sick of it.
If any of you guys are still there, I made this thread with a solution to help solve this error. http://androidforums.com/internatio...ror-24-insufficient-storage-space-solved.html
It turns out that there is some residue data from installing the app before which leads the app to not install. It's tested and worked for me. Please gimme a thanks if it worked.

Thanks man, but didn't work for me.
I did a search for anything doggcatcher related on my phone, not a single file.
The only option I can fathom is to find an apk of it. I've paid for it, I can't use it unless I pirate it. Makes sense.
