From the day i got my Galaxy S, I can only download roughly upto 10 apps. After that any download stucks at "Starting Download" . It never fails or succeed.
Only solution found is to do a hard reset wiping all data and installed apps.
I'm in Singapore - got the phone from SingTel. SingTel told me they cannot help but better go to SAMSUNG service center. Samsung kept the phone 2 days with them and returned me saying they have not yet found a solution.
Guys please help.
Try going to Manage applications and press menu and set the filter to "all"
then find Download Manager and clear cache or data
I hope it works out for you because I know those types of market problems are not pleasant and I'm really sad that Google hasn't managed to permanently fix this because it happens in nearly all Android phones.
Had this on my desire aswell for a while, sadly only resetting the phone (as in factory reset ) solved it. It's definetly a market problem tho, so samsung will prob be unable to help you...

I already tried but it does not help. Only factory reset does.

Clear cahce/data from Download Manager does not help. Only factory reset does. But I have noticed the problem happens after Market gets updated automatically. There is an app called Market Updater too. I tried uninstalling updates. It does not work either with all other clear cache/data fixes.
Internal phone storage : 1.75GB available
Internal SD card : 13.40GB available.
External SD card : 6.16GB available.
I still have plenty of space.
Any fix you guys know without RESETTING the phone?
Same problem here. The i9000 screen was frozen after installing the apps from Android Market. Have to remove the battery and do Factory reset. The phone would suddenly reboot by itself sometimes during normal using. I have to return to Expansy.
Nztechfreak had to return his SGS because of what seemed to be a corrupt Marketplace application as part of the stock build. I've had no such problems.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Are the singtel SGS sim-locked? If not then have you tried flashing the firmware?
I have the same problem. What I noticed too is that downloads work only couple of minutes until account sync is finished. Samsung apps install fine, as do non market apk.

All phones sold here in Singapore must be unlocked. It is illegal to sell locked phones.
I already tried these firmware.
I9000XXJE2
I9000XXJE3
I9000DXJF4
I9000XXJF5
I9000DXJE7
All above firmware has the same market stall issue.
If Google does not take actions to solve this issue they will lose the battle against Apple iOS4 and M$Soft Windows Phone 7 soon.
Downloads Stuck - Solved for Galaxy S
Hi Guys,
I solved my "Starting download..." issue on Samsung Galaxy S (GT-I9000).
This is how.
Find another Galaxy S phone in which you can download apps without problem. I got my friend's Galaxy S. Confirm both phones have same firmware and kernel by going to Settings > About Phone.
Root both phones using this method. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=710452
Go to settings > applications > development > enable USB debugging in both phones
Connect market working phone to a PC / Mac (Windows, Linux, OSX) where Android SDK is installed.
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Execute following commands.
adb shell
su
busybox dd if=/dev/block/stl3 of=/sdcard/stl3.out
busybox dd if=/dev/block/stl11 of=/sdcard/stl11.out
busybox dd if=/dev/block/stl10 of=/sdcard/stl10.out
exit
exit (now you are at PC terminal. Note that 'mmcblk0p2' will take some time to backup - be patient)
Now required files are dumped in Market working phone's sdcard. Use adb pull to get those files into your Mac or PC.
adb pull /sdcard/stl3.out .
adb pull /sdcard/stl11.out .
adb pull /sdcard/stl10.out .
Connect your phone (market not working) to your PC or mac.
Transfer dumped files to your phone using adb push.
adb push stl3.out /sdcard/
adb push stl11.out /sdcard/
adb push stl10.out /sdcard/
Then issue following commands. (we are going to restore dumped files now)
adb shell
su
busybox dd if=/sdcard/stl3.out of=/dev/block/stl3
busybox dd if=/sdcard/stl11.out of=/dev/block/stl11
busybox dd if=/sdcard/stl10.out of=/dev/block/stl10
reboot
After restarting your market should work as expected. Cheers!
Can anyone upload the files for JG5? I don't really want to factory reset... but I guess I might need to
Yes JG5 dump would be greatly appreciated as I don't know any other Galaxy owners locally
I think my problem must be different. I left mine for 5-10 minutes and the download eventually started. Gradually it's gotten quicker and quicker.
My problem is the same, so a dump of the JG5, kernel 2.6.29 <---- not too fussed if kernel is not quite the same, i'll give it a shot anyway.
Can you pull those files off a good phone and upload them somewhere on some link and post it so we with the problem can just download them and adb push them to ours with a problem? Chances of me finding someone with a g ood rooted phone who wants to play are slim.
DUMP Download link - Galaxy S

Could you guys please respond with the results?
After rebooting the downloads should fail. Just go to Settings > Applications > Manage Apps > Filter (ALL)> Download Manager > Clear cache /data.
Everything should work fine then.
Hi guys,
I can't install Skype on my SGS Froyo, it keeps saying 'Insufficient storage available' whereas I have plenty of free space. Any ideas beside factory reset?
Try looking from "Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications" if you have Skype there. Then just uninstall it and reinstall.
You could also try uninstalling it with Titanium Backup if that didn't work.
There is no record of Skype in Applications and my phone is not rooted. I guess I'll have to do a factory reset even though I'd sooner not to.
Had the same problem, but managed to solve it.
1. Root your device.
2. set USB debuging on the device
3. go to shell with adb
3.1 su
3.2 accept su on the device
3.3 rm -R /data/com.skype.raider
That it!
Worked perfectly for me.

Worked perfect for me also. Probably same dir but I was under /data/data/ and just removed the com.skype.raider directory. Rooting sure beats wiping all your crap out any day.

You need to re-install the drivers...the SDB device is DIFFERENT than the USB storage one...so even if you see the watch flash, it is not a guarantee SDB works.

I would like to know if anyone knows how I can set the time and date on my Gear 2 Neo. All I have is my PC and an iphone. My battery died and now my Gears time is way off. Ive rooted it and paired it with my iphone hoping that the bluetooth pairing would somehow sync times. Im only last hope is maybe a way to do it with my pc rooted or unrooted it dont matter to me Im just tired of seeing the wrong time on my wrist...:silly:
I believe this is what you need to do

Hi, I fell your pain. This will work for only rooted Gear S2 Neo.
First connect your Gear via USB to your computer.
You would need to use SDB.exe
Go to that folder directory where sdb.exe is located using CMD.
after you are in the right directory type:
Code:
sdb root on
sdb shell
whoami (just to make sure you are root)
date --help (get help instructions for date and time, you can see their instructions)
date --set=08:23:16 (it uses 24 hour format)
date --set=09/21/2016 (this sets your date)
exit
That is all you need to do. Let me know turns out.

thx for tip, as my watches somehow know correct date and time but have bad timezone, I would recommend to change just timezone file pointing with symlink /opt/etc/localtime
Code:
sdb root on
sdb shell
rm -f /opt/etc/localtime
ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Amsterdam /opt/etc/localtime
reboot
