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.
I have Vegan Ginger installed and the new market installed automatically, so now there are quite a few apps that I can't download or update. Unfortunately that means I can't get the newest flash version 10.3.186.3. Would someone please upload that apk file here so I can sideload it? I did quite a bit of searching here and on google, but everything I've found points back to the market. I also tried the Amazon appstore, but it does not come up there either. Thanks for any help you can offer.

I recently just installed HydrogensICS on my phone and soon came to the realization that the google play store was missing, does anyone have an idea on how to get it back? Ive tried getting google apks of the internet but as soon as i open them they crash, im on a GT-1900T and if i dont find a solution i probably will have to go back to stock ICS, many thanks.
Look at the instructions page of the ROM you've installed. There shall be a link to separately flashable gapps (google apps) package. Usually zip file.
Licensing issues do not allow to include it directly into the ROM-s as far as i know.
Hello!
I just got my new Teclast x98 air ii. Out of the box, Gapps suite is very instable and Google Play doesn't work at all. After reading several forums and tried basic tricks like clearing cache, uninstalling updates, etc... It is still not working. The last thing to try is to install Play store and Play Services in the system/apps space, but obviously I need the tablet to be rooted. Again, after reading a lot on rooting Android devices, I no longer sure if the rooting process is CPU, hardware or OS dependent.
So, is that possible to root this Chinese tablet and if yes, using what tool?
Hi mate ive just received mine . also having the same problems as you. Tried resetting to factory defaults , changed the language from chinese to english . It looked like the play store was going to work . Then it just forced closed . Now wont work at all . Tried doint the ota updtae , but doesnt work . cant find anything on the internet as the tablet is pretty new. If only i could get play store working . hmmm . Its seems a great tablet .Screens spot on and it seems pretty fast .
I signed up to say that other people are also having the Google Play problem, and though I haven't received mine I'm probably going to have that problem, too.
What a bummer. ):
Subscribed. I have one of these on order and found out about the Play Store issue. I am wanting to run Android and not Windows 8.1. Hopefully there is an update soon.
Edit: Just saw this. Anyone with an Air II care to try?

Yeah I've seen that on twitter . however CPUz claims the tablet is already rooted . I used amazon app store for that . hope we get this sorted soon .
Yes I thought it was already rooted too but I tried running apps that need root and it is not rooted. I verified with Rootchecker and it confirmed...
Now I removed updates on Play Store and Play Services but some apps does not work anymore... like Hangout...
same issue here
Hey guys,
Just gotbmine this morning and have the same issue,
play store browse well but crashes when trying to download
YouTube won't even launch
ota update not working
Plus have regular freezes with the internet browser. Hope we can find a fix soon cause otherwise the tablet is pretty good !
I don't see the point of having an ota app as no one can get it working. Also when my tablet arrived the playstore wasnt fully installed . when I done a factory reset everything installed and had the play store icon on the screen. . still didn't work tho . .. The manufacturer must know the play store has problems , that's why its disabled . its a good tablet ,just wish everything worked as it should .
Ota is working. Downloading now . will let you all know how it goes ..
Still not downloaded . 6 hours later , keeps restarting . grrrr . there's a new guide on a French forum to update the firmware . looks pretty complicated . can't post links yet .

Same here. Downloaded and installed the OTA update to 4.4.4 after two attempts.
Downloaded gapps 4.4.4 tried to install it via the teclast update app that is on the tablet. No luck, message said could not verify update.
So I renamed it to update.zip and tried to install via restart and bootloader but no luck.
I suppose I could manually move the files but even then it may not work and that would be tedious.
Oh well, still a good tablet and amazon apps work just fine.
Also 64 GB microSD card won't work but my 16 GB microSD card works just fine.
Tried any other ROMS yet?
Hi All,
I've had the tablet a week now and just updated to 4.4.4 using the Teclast App that was pre-installed. Since the update I've had a few issues with video stuttering and play store and youtube still don't work. So far though I am pretty impressed with the tablet. Still wondering though has anyone tried a different rom on this yet?
-P
Same -- need to know how to root
Having the same problem with the Google play store crashing. It only seems to crash when it attempts to download apps/updates, and the crash logs point to the download manager (i.e., the eng.yankendi.20140922.165954 version of DownloadProvider.apk).
Need root to replace it with some other version -- would that even work or is the download manager a device-specific app?
Beware malware sites
Norton says site is a known malicious site, so not going to bother downloading from there. I have the Air II and been researching the Play Store issue for about a week - no answers yet. None of the simple fixes work, looking at moving the Gapps to a different folder as suggested at one forum - problem is I need root for that, and rooting this thing is just as big of a challenge. There's other sites that claim to have root .bat files but they too install malware on your computer - had it happen to me just today. That's the problem with this sorta thing, the a-holes out there know how desperate people can get to find anything that'll give them root so they plant malware in their "solutions". Anyway I'm gonna keep trying, first have to get root figured out.
*EDIT* Sorry was replying to post #4 and the srsroot link posted there
Play Store fix??
Found this in another thread here at XDA. Anyone brave enough to try it??

Here's the post:
Google Play Store Fix
Anyone having issues with Google Play Store - this applies to both Air 3G with the latest 2.0.1 update (will post more information later) and Air II - please apply this fix.
Your OS should be rooted in order for this to work.
- Download the files from here.
- Copy the .apk files to a folder on your microSD card.
- Go to Settings > Apps and uninstall Google Play Store.
- Install using the supplied .apk's the following (in this order): Google Play Services, Google Play Store and Link2SD.
- Go to Link2SD, find Google Play Store > Actions > Convert into system app.
- When the conversion is complete, reboot the tablet.
You should find that Google Play store works now, if you still have issues clear ALL it's data and re-enter your account information.
Will post later when the v2.0 (Android 4.4.4) ROM upload is complete with instructions on how to flash it.
I am using it right now and after it was installed it performed an OTA and now I am at v2.0.1_20141105.
I would but... Howto root it?
I haven't found the root procedure the Air ii yet...
How this guy rooted it?

I have this same question. This post has a link to a toolbox for rooting, but I can't get it to work on the Air II. Anyone have any success?
Edit: This one works for rooting. I followed the procedure and Google Play store and apps are now working.

I rooted with the Chinese version of VRoot (your link) and it seemed to work. I installed a root checking app and it says I have root access. However when I try to convert the PlayStore into system app I got an error from Link2SD telling it doesn't have root access.
Any clue?
thanks
edit: actually it seems vRoot only supports 4.4.2 for now, I made the update to 4.4.4 so it is probably the reason root doesn't work

*My tablet: Teclast X98 Air II WiFi*
I wouldn't try using the download provided, only because the download and the instructions given for it don't quite match up. The post says "copy the .apk files" however the download is an *.exe - why would you need to execute a downloaded file to get *.apks? The guy makes it look like it's a zip file - note the .7z in the file name - but that's not its real extension, it's an executable. It's like someone is trying to fool you by making you think the files are zipped up so you'll start the *.exe. I may be wrong but I prefer being too careful rather than sorry later on. Plus the *.apks are easy enough to find - they're all over the Internet.
Having said all that, I still tried the guy's idea but with my own files and I think it works. Well I say "I think" because a) I finally have Play Store working, after days of trying every idea in this thread and what I found Googling, and b) I'm not quite 100% sure of the /exact/ steps I took to finally get Play to work because I was doing so many things at once.
But from memory here are the last few steps I tried before Play miraculously started working (I already had Link2SD installed):
1) Installed latest Play Services *.apk
2) Installed latest Play Store *.apk
3) Opened Link2SD and converted BOTH Play Store & Play Services to system apps (when I was just converting Play Store it never worked)
4) Reboot
The only way I'll ever be sure of exactly what's needed is to wipe my tablet and start over using just these steps, which I just might do since the tablet is so new. However someone else out there may want to give this a try just to see if I'm right about the steps needed. And by the way VRoot worked perfectly for rooting, I used the version for PCs (rooting your tablet from your PC). The supplied SU app for VRoot works fine, I don't read Chinese but all you need to do is check a box and tap a button for every SU request.
Hope this helps, I'll report back with more info as I get the chance.
I am having problems downloading files on Google Chrome. Everytime I click on an APK, it just says download failed. I also tried using other browsers, same thing it doesn't download.
I am on EU ROM stable 12.5.7
Hi, I am having the same problem. No matter what FW Version or Browser I use. Is there a root option to enable downloads to the phone?
