Alright. Let me lead off by saying I searched google and this forum and I couldn't find the answer to my problem. I have found the "answer" to my problem that has worked for other people but not for me. So let me explain my problem and the solutions I tried. Any help would be appreciated.
I bought Beautiful Widgets from the market place. When i go to download it, it says "download unsuccessful". Let me make clear that i'm not rooted (or ever want to be) and I'm running 2.1-update1.
Solutions that I've tried..
1. settings > apps > manage apps > I cleared data in the "Download Manager" and cleared cache in the "Market" section.
Basically i took this advice, http://androidforums.com/samsung-moment/38687-problem-beautiful-widgets.html, it worked for that dude, Didn't work for me.
2. I've restarted the phone a few times and that didn't work.
3. I refunded my money, and bought the app again, didn't work that time either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Edit: I gave this a new title because paid apps do download, just not beautiful widgets.
Can you install any app at all or does this affect all apps?

thanks for the reply
this only happens to paid apps. After all of this happened, I successfully downloaded beautiful silent widgets (or w/e) in the market and it was free.

I tried both.. also i set up a google voice account (like that one post suggested) .. i signed in and out of it and back in.. and still that app didn't download.
extremely frusterating
update: ok i bought doodle jump lol.. and that worked.. so i guess it must be something wrong with beautiful widgets?

Do they take apps down when they update them? Just curious, after you answer that i'll give an update after I find out what the problem is.
A dude on #android on Efnet IRC has the same problem.
He tried to buy it, said it went successful, then it was authorizing purchase for a long time.
Then got stuck, then Google issued him a refund because of some server error.
Now, when he goes to his downloads, it says Beautiful Widgets still says "purchased".
The BW author is on twitter all the time. I talk to him time to time. I think it was yesterday he mentioned that there are problems with his server and discussing with the powers that be to get a new one. If you have a twitter account, you may try him there if you havent sent him an email already.
hum - having exactly the same problem.. says purchased, click install, says download unsuccessful.. Followed the cache clear and made no difference..

bumping this:
I have emailed dev - but no reply..
Anyone have any thoughts?
Sorry I don't have an answer for you, but Beautiful Widgets caused problems for me anyway. Constant freezes and crashes. Overall slowdown of everything. I'm back to normal after uninstalling.

Install it via rom manager or clockwork. Backup prior to doing so.
If things do not show up immediatly, try installing some random app and see if it populates then.
Otherwise, it will happen the next time the market data sync with the phone.

are there any reasons not to do this? will this lead to bad dependencies? incorrectly installed applications?
What problems can this cause? Is this fixable?

A. This isn't Redhat, circa 1997. Android doesn't work that way.
B. Either they install, or they don't.
C. Problems it can cause? It can prevent Incredible only and/or Verizon only applications from showing up. I don't forsee that being an issue, ever so...
This is a simple build.prop change so that the market will show all paid apps.
Before:
ro.build.fingerprint=verizon_wwe/inc/inc/inc:2.2/FRF91/212490:user/release-keys
(Market: wtf is this?)
After:
ro.build.fingerprint=google/passion/passion/mahimahi:2.2/FRF91/43546:user/release-keys
(Market: Oh hai, Nexus One!)
Thanks
This worked for me and I got the Documents to Go paid version which was the only thing that I was needing. I had some problems with it kicking me off the network and having to use wifi to connect. After a reboot I was back on the network though so I don't know if that had anything to do with adding this.
Out of curiosity is there a way that I can go back to what it was so that when the market gets fixed it would work like it is suppose to? I saw in the build.prop file what you changed and thought I could just change that back but I wanted to ask before I did.
Thanks so much for this.
This will break custom boot animations?

Thanks for this, one of my paid apps wasn't showing up, this did the trick!
Ok the reason I asked was because someone in ##incredibleroot said it would cause problems
Did they specify what?
Random text about causing problems from someone in IRC without a reason of what or why is pretty worthless.
adrynalyne,
YOU ARE THE MAN!!!
Here is a new version that includes the streaming audio fixes.
http://www.4shared.com/file/RjEL6jSz/market_streaming_fix_froyo.html
To have the market checkin right away do the following so you don't have to wait or download any other BS apps.
1. Open the Phone app
2. Dial *#*#CHECKIN#*#* (2432546) ** When you type the last "*" what you typed will disappear.
3. Wait for the message on the notification bar to say "checkin succeeded."
4. All paid apps that were missing should be available.
Thanks.

I guess I'm the only one that has great streaming audio quality. I use Pandora and even before changing the audio quality setting to "High" it didn't sound bad. I wonder what that is that makes it hit or miss on these devices.
Anyways, I just wanted to point out that the AAC fix really slows the phone down a bit. It changed my quadrant scores from 1200's down to 790-800.
Just a FYI.
P.S. Thanks for the Market fix!
i have the htc music widget on my homescreen. after installing the update with the streaming audio fixes whenever i reboot my phone my music starts playing automatically. now when i remove the widget and reboot the music doesn't play.

There's a thread about Apps That Do Not Work with Android "L" Preview but now that Lollipop official factory image is out, I think it's time to start a new thread.
I've updated my Nexus 5 to Lollipop yesterday and thanks to CF Auto Root and Titanium Backup, I've managed to restore most of my apps' data. So far, the only app that seems to be completely broken is Freedome 1.0.40.1123 (aka F-Secure Freedome VPN). It shows a "Network request failed" error dialog. logcat output is attached, and I've sent their support an email.
Update: Freedome 1.0.41.1142 works fine on Lollipop.
WiFi Web Login 4.1.27 is failing more often then working, but no crashes or stacktraces in logcat. I've already sent them an email reporting this.
Please contribute to this list.
office
Office mobile always asks you to check connection.
Posti (finland) says same as office.
Edit. I am surprised with office, is anyone also having the same issue?
Skiplock
Marked app as incompatible with Android 5+. Due to changes in Android 5.0, it is no longer possible for an app to unlock the device. Thanks, Google. If I can find a way around this, I will, but don't get your hopes up.

The developer breaks it on purpose.
Stop using MX Player.
Check out VLC Player. It's free and doesn't break with version updates

Why would they break it on purpose? Wont it be updated soon to work on lollipop?

can't install many things
Has anyone else had trouble installing things in the first place? For example, I need to install the Amazon Appstore, but after downloading and opening the apk file the "Install" button will not react. The "Cancel" button works just dandy, but there are several things I've come across that have the same problem as the appstore. Is this due to security settings, the apps needing to be updated, or what? Very irritating. Lollipop is flashy and all that, but so far has been a bit of a pain what with the manual flashing and the root runaround I've had.
Stock YouTube app is updated and does not work with background play. The option doesn't show in settings either. Has anyone had this problem and does anyone know a fix? Very frustrating.

Same problem, but i found a workaround
choose a video and press play
when the video is playing, quickly double tap the powerbutton (so the display will be turned off and directly turned on and you'll be on the lockscreen, but the video keeps playing in the background nice for hearing music
@tdoughone In order to use background play you need to have a YouTube Music Key Subscription. If you have that already it should work fine for you but I suspect that is your issue.
https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/6060868?hl=en
i have a google play music subscription, which includes the youtube music key, and background playing works as it should.
Sorry, I have the play music subscription and it works for me. My friend has the phone with no play nusic subscription and he is the one with the problem. We figured that was the problem but asked in here just to be sure. Thanks for all of the help. It should just be available to everyone lol

OMG finally i found a thread with my issue lol I have been searching on my phone with no luck...it wasn't until I tried searching on my computer and filtered the results to "this week" did i find this thread....anywaaaaay lol I have the same issue, incredibly frustrating. I pay for Google Music All Access (which of course comes with Music Key as you said) and yet I don't have "background/offline" functionality anymore either.
I do not have the Nexus 6. I have the Galaxy S6. But I don't really see how that is relevant. I just wanted to mention just in case

Hello folks,
not being able to use Shazam still is a bummer for me.
Always the same thing:
install Shazam, grant it every possible right, works for 2-3 songs (doesn't matter if widget or normal Shazam icon), stops recognizing any song
I kind of adopted to an app called "beat find", which is way slower and has a smaller database but keeps working
Anyone having that Shazam problem too?

Wasn't aware of the issue as I had only used it once on this device, so thank you for raising awareness. You may have better luck with SoundHound (aka Midomi). I've used this one a ton in the past. Unfortunately it does have adverts unless you buy ad-free for £5

Thx a lot. Just switched to SoundHound and it is working perfectly. The 5,x€ are worth it for me.
Just the widget is not a 1x1 small widget und I have found no way in the settings to automatically start the search for songs once I click on the app icon (widget does search instantly by clicking on it)
I also have problems with Shazam, to make it work again, I have to clear Data and Cache.
@kitzblitz yeah I don't really get why they couldn't include a 1x1 widget also. Anyway make sure to enable the 'startup' (not 'autostart') permission for Spotify if you want Spotify integration to work inside SoundHound.
@PILLS2389 yep that's the exact behaviour I'm seeing. SoundHound seems to be a decent alternative for now
Please report back if you ever find a solution
Shazam also didn't work on mine. SoundHound is a very bit as good though!
