Hi all
As the various versions taking over our phones, I notices some phenomena that also occurs with several over people I've talked to.
While trying to download Apps via market , the download doesn't start. The market does initiate the download procedure - The Download bar appears etc , but the actual download will not start even after hours of waiting.
However , by rebooting the phone or simply toggling the 3G / WIFI off and on (the same problem happens with both types of connection), the download starts immediately.
Now , at first I thought that maybe the connection is constantly failing , but all kind of automatic updates like news , weather etc are working all the time , and of course the Net surfing and market access are possible.
It seems that the restart required just for apps download.
I don't know if it's because of Apps2SD or something else , but it happens to several people I know about and with several different builds (CYanogen and JackHero are those I remember specifically )
I would be more than welcome for any kind of reply , eevn hearing that you personally have no problems with apps downloads.
Thanx
Sometimes that happens to me. I just cancel the download and restart it and it works again. A reboot helps too.
It happens to me now and then as well. I just cancel the download and try again a little later. Normally works without a reboot.
I have actually been experiencing this all day... I keep canceling the download and rebooting, but none of this has been helping. I also cleared the marked cache...
i've been experiencing this all day... i don't want to cancel my download because it's a paid app and if i cancel then restart i don't have a choice for a refund. =/
i tried toggling the wifi on and off but doesn't seem to work, gonna try rebooting, i've already been waiting for like 10 hours... lol.
I'm running the latest Cyanogen 3.9.? (the experimental one.)
Well , all this is kinda bad, but at least I know now it's not my hardware.
I tried to leave post in Developers section , but they threaten to ban me for nagging
So I guess we need more information in order to start fixing it.
2 questions for now -
1) What rom version you use (I'm mostly interested in finding someone with official rom that have the same problem, i'm using Cyanogen 3.6.8.1 myself)
2) Are you using T-Mobile or not (for example I'm using the phone in Israel , and they're not even imported to here yet)

i'm using 3.9.1 by Cyanogen on T-Mobile.
i heard toggling the wifi on and off has worked for a few people, also rebooting the phone while it's dowloading has worked for others but it hasn't worked for me all day... i've tried both and nothing. i even re-flashed my phone and still nothing. they won't even start downloading. i'm gonna try JACHeroski rom right now to see what happens. be back with the results in a bit.

I thought Google Checkout allows for refunds within 24hrs, no? I've had this issue but only when I have poor service.
i cant believe nobody has mentioned this yet.
cyanogen has FIXED this problem. the problem lies in the fact that whenever you download something, google collects anonymous usage data. a lot of the time, this process fails and causes the download to hang.
if you want to fix the problem, check this thread.

I'm having the SAME exact issue. A few people here have offered advice which didn't work for me, but mostly I'm ignored because it seems to be "my problem" since not enough people seem to be having this issue.
If I flash back to stock using ODIN market downloads are snappy again.

Is this happening on 3g or wifi connection?
I have seen this issue..i have three captivates all running cog5.5 and only one seems to have occasional problem with market...not sure exactly what causes problem but toggling wifi, clearing cache or rebooting seems to correct it
I am not patient so I don't wait an hour for a download....if it does not work I just try the above in that order and usually one of the first two works but reboot always fixes

It happens in 3g and its all the time, each and every single download. In wifi its normal and snappy. I know its not my network coz web is fast and everything. Rebooting doesnt work too, clearing market data too so what else could I do?

Just because your browser experience is good does not in and of itself completely eliminate your 3g connection a being the cause. One thing to try is attempting market downloads from a few different locations - this would help eliminate your data connection if your experience was the same at different locations.
I have a few more questions. have you flashed any custom roms? if you have flashed did you restore apps and data with TiB? Are you running any lag fixes? Are you using any task killers?
The downloads are the same everywhere and with browsing its faster than the iphone 4 I even compared them. Im runing the cognition 5 beta I think, I never restored anything and never screwed with the one click lag fix

Settings» About Phone - the build number at the bottom wil tell you which version of cog you are running.
When you say the market is slow everywhere - does it always everywhere jump out to a certain percentage than drop off to a slow crawl? And when you say everywhere - how many different locations and how far apart were they?
When you cleared the market data cache did you force close the market app first before clearing the cache?
And are you using any task killers?
Im actually runining cognition beta4, and im using the defult tast menager that came with the rom. Its all over the place, I could be 30 miles away from home and the downloads speed for market are slow. Usally it jumps to 14% or 33% and than just slows down like crazy and goes by 1%

It sounds like something is corrupted that market uses on your phone that is causing your network connection to crash while downloading. If the following does not clear it up you may need to reflash cog
go settings» wireless and network and put your phone into flight mode.
Then go settings» applications» manage applications - go to the "All" tab - scroll down and select the market app - here select force stop - then select clear data.
Then reboot your phone.
Turn off flight mode and retry your market.
Ok so I did what you told me, with no results. Still the same. How would I flash to beta 5 cognition? Can I just install it using rom menager and install it over the version I have now? Also how would I do it without losing anything. Also thank you for trying to help me!

Unless you go through the kernel swapping steps rom manager will not work with COG 2.2b4. Secondly - to be sure and get rid of what ever is causing your problem you wil be better off doing doing a full wipe anyway.
I use google contacts (www.google.com/contacts) and google colander (www.google.com/calendar) and then sync my phone with those each time I am done flashing. I move any pics, movies, and documents I want to save to my external sd card - and then I remove my external sd card for the flashing process (i also keep a backup copy of all these things on my pc). Any apps can be re downloaded from the market even the paid ones as they are linked to your google account.
Help needed guys..
anyone encountering unsuccessful download from the web browser?
what were you trying to download actually? downloading from some file hosting sites sometimes is quite a hassle.
i've download stuff from xda, some local forum, it's just ok.
download anything.. pictures, short clip videos, musics,...anything..
That's terrible. What baseband, ever upgraded the rom (stock, etc), was it always like this?
try another browser, like opera, dolphin, skyfire usually works

Please specify the problem a bit more.
If you mean that everything you try to download fail. Tell us if its on wifi, or over 3g if you are on the move (for example car, bus, boat etc) or if you are standing still.
If its over wifi.
Make sure that the wifi don't turn off while the screen goes into idle.
If its over 3G.
Go to a place where you have full reception.
Contact your carrier and complain.
Try another browser.
Try another file.
Ether way please specify the problem as much as you can.
In case you forgot the some what humorus video from when you registered its down "You are a Noob on XDA-Developers "
And in my case. No every thing I ever downloaded so far have been downloaded successfully. Only found a random "rapidshare" copycat not to work.
everything i download from the web browser, from using WIFI to 3G, are unsuccessful. and Im using stock rom with baseband of 20110725.
it occurs only after i upgraded to the new baseband.
I had even factory reset my phone, still unable to download anything successfully.
currently im using opera browser, and able to download everything.
Hey guys. First of all, I do have a working connection, but there's one problem though. Whenever my phone is on mobile data, some apps just work weird.
Gtalk: I am signed in, chatting with someone, then I put the phone away for a few minutes. The next time I check Gtalk, it is offline. It doesn't even want to get online until I turn 3G off and back on or I restart the app, then it works for a while (random) and then happens again.
Facebook: I browse the news feed and at some point (random) when i reach the bottom of the page and it should load the earlier posts, it just rolls the little circle but nothing happens. Closing the app and restarting it solves the problem, but again, temporalily.
Life is Magic (game): It can hang anytime between loading the levels or whenever it needs data connection.
Whenever these things happen, and I fire up the browser, it works... but despite that, Gtalk still wouldn't go online until I restart it. This happened on every every JB (LPY,LPQ,LQB) so far. I am using CoCore kernel, no other mods.
Thanks for help or any ideas!
Same problem here with gtalk . It has been offline on all version and combination of JB and kernels.can someone provide me stock gtalk app.so that I can re install

you can download a google apps package from here: http://goo.im/gapps
i tried that one too though, still the same. the problem is with the way certain apps using mobile networks, i believe. it doesn't happen on wifi.
Guys, really no one else uses Google Talk?
Still, I believe the problem is with 3G.
Yeah, like you guys said, this happens to me on every official firmwares and only when I'm on 3g. (Just noticed now that you guys mention it)
I had to turn off and on the 3g for it to be active again. I don't use gtalk but it happens with gmail, stock email, fb, xda-app and tapatalk too among others.
As mentioned, it's totally random and usually happens when left by itself for a while. Until now, the only workaround I used is like you guys, just to turn it off and on again.
Until now I thought it was a problem with my ISP but guess it wasn't.

probably not. but still, turning it on and off doesn't solve the problem because Gtalk goes offline after a while and I don't receive messages which is the whole pont
also, facebook app stops refreshing the news feed as I scroll down...
up...
does anyone have a solution yet? are there others affected?
UPDATE: i went back to Gingerbread thinking that it will solve my problem. But that just doesn't happen, gtalk goes offline, i am not getting facebook messages etc,etc...
I think I should take this phone to the service.

Should i update the zip using recovery or can I individually install the app i want
Hi everyone,
I finally upgraded to Lollipop on my device a couple days ago. I'm noticing a couple weird things like icons disappearing on my desktop using the Nova launcher, but mainly the one I'm worried about and which I noticed today, was my inability to download any file. I first noticed it on Dropbox; when I try to download something it comes up with an error "Storage full or Unavailable", however when trying to download an audio sent to me trough WhatsApp, fails as well. And lastly, I tried downloading a file in my Mega account which never even starts to download. I checked and have more than enough space both internally and the SD card.
I searched and found some people with the same Dropbox issue but no solution whatsoever.
If anyone here can help me, I'd really appreciate it.
The only fix I've seen for that problem is a reflash of the rom. That was quite a big problem for a lot on Nexus owners when Lollipop came out.
