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.

Hi there,
I was just wondering if it was possible to change when the lockscreen password screen comes up? I want the password protection to show ONLY when my phone turns on, and not when i'm simply awakening my phone. I find it quite annoying.
Anybody know if this is possible through a hack or something? I'm using an unlocked Hero running VillainROM 10.
Thanks in advance,
Alex

Search the market for what exactly? :S I've searched a bit... found loads of alternate lockscreens. But I haven't found an app that will disable the native lockscreen password, but keep it for when the phone boots up.
there is one, sorry i cant rememeber the name, that puts it on a timer. Just search lock and go through them...

okay my bad I was wrong, it isnt working. what settings did you use? Mine was working, but it also stopped the password protection at the startup of the phone too - which isnt good !
i cant remember, i stopped using it now, because i dont use a password at all, just threaten people who pick up my phone.
I don't suppose anyone else has looked into this? I'm also in the same boat, I really just want something to protect startup.
Hey There

4 - copy the previously prepared com.whatsapp folder to /data/data/ on your tablet with root explorer
5 - open whatsapp
6 - you now have a fully working whatsapp on your xoom Tablet

Hi all could someone post their backup file? This would be incredibly useful to people like me without access to an android mobile.
There must be a way to manually edit the phone number within the backup.
Your help is appreciated..

You need some form of hex editor and to know what you're doing. Realistically you're not going to get whatsapp on your xoom without having it on a rooted android phone.

oh yes ! and im the friend he got the system folder from, its all about changing ur number and all ur contacts are going to be visible, its just i had to again configure my watsapp on my Xperia device so i can push my own phone number and log in ! very simple, and btw sometimes seniors need to test out the stuff and then post comments and then lol on them ! which is in this case very rude !
for rest of the members ! this stuff is working and all secured, tested ! :good:
But we have to activate it 2 times ? Phone and tablet ?

Yes ! but make sure u do it 1st on the tablet which is the child in this case so a parent (Phone Device) will activate it later so there going to be no conflicts of contacts on both devices ! (its fortunate if ur holding a phone and a tablet together) if not then a close friend is required :silly:

ok i have the app on my 4G xoom atm. HOWEVER, i only have wifi where i'm located and I installed just fine. Here's how I did it.
1) I sideloaded the app on my xoom (dons't have to be rooted to do that).
2) ran the program and inputed my google voice number (theoretically you could use any phone number that has texting capabilites)
3) Let the app time out on 'verifiying' if you got the text.
4) Type in the code you got texted to that number.
5) Enjoy.
how...?

Hi..im using 3g xoom as well..wanted to know how you download the whatsapp ?..which software did you use?..thank u so much..im waiting for you to reply...
Hello,
I send a lot of text messages to nearly 200 contacts on a semi regular basis. I have an excellent app that does it well. The only issue is I constantly get permission messages saying I'm sending too many and if I wanna authorize more, its very annoying and if I don't accept it as soon as it comes up, will usually delay my messages.
So my question is, how do I remove/change that SMS limit on Android 5.0? IRS definitely baked into the OS cause as I said, any SMS app gets the same issue.
All help and thoughts appreciated!
- Master Ramy
PS: I tried a couple SMS limit apps on the Play Store, nothing updated for lollipop yet.
Bump, anyone able to help me? Any devs want to weigh in?

Sure, but I also understand its an adjustment somewhere in a system database file to change the limit, I found instructions for a Galaxy S3 phone, but its not in the same place. I was hoping one of the devs of said Roms could point me to the right file so I can adjust it manually on stock.
Anyone else?

I think this app works : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mittelmanapps.smslimitunlock
Just intalled it and proceded to a full unlock. Requires root.
Device said the operation is a complete success and needed a reboot to apply all modifications which I just did.
If I don't have the limit, I will come back to confirm this app works.
Hope it works !!!

My phone is rooted and I'm on Dirty Unicorns 5.02. I'm not sure what system you're on but I've sent out 150 messages without an issue using Group SMS Pro. It will ask me to Wait or Kill the app while sending bulk sms, but I hit Wait and everything goes through. Also, I don't send much more than 200 messages at a time because even on KitKat that seemed to be an issue.
So? Did it work?

So? Did it work? I think not, but your promised update would be appreciated.
I to would like to figure out how to work around this limit. I am on Benzo rom 5.1 and under settings/security you can select 30, 50, 100 or 200 but it's a dead setting apparently because I can select 50, 100 or 200 and I still have to approve any text over 30. Did you figure out how to fix it? I tried the linked google play apps to get around but no luck so far
Flash a custom rom - like what was posted in post #2.
Other than that, you're probably out of luck, OP. Just do what anyone else here would do if they *just have to have that ability* - flash the rom.
Thanks for the reply but I will NOT flash LS because everytime I have tried it it borks my phone and I've been dumb enough to try it "one more time" too many times and paid the price. I know it's probably something I'm doing and not the roms fault but done with that one..........:cyclops:
I went back and looked at the app posted above called SMS Limit Unlock and played around a bit more. I changed the Restriction cycle time and Restriction message amount settings a few times when I was in there before but never clicked on 'Unlock'. I did that this time and it went thru a progression and then said I needed to reboot for settings to take hold. I sorta forgot that step before thinking the Unlock was to convert to the paid version of the app. I rebooted just in time to give it a try and it worked exactly as it should so I got it to work correctly.
Figured I'd post this in the thread so in case someone else does a google search on SMS limit problems and they get directed to this thread as I did, hopefully this will work for them as well. I am on Benzo 5.1 and it worked...... Yippeeeee

1. Root Phone
2. Download/Install a Different SMS(texting) app from the Google Store
I chose to use the 'Go SMS PRO app
3. Download a Root Uninstaller
I used 'Root Uninstaller Free'
4. Uninstall the stock SMS app, it's called 'Text Messaging' I believe. Can't quite remember
5. Profit!!! Just remember to check the setting in your new SMS app for any limit. In Go SMS PRO you can turn off any limit or have it save upto 100+ texts and then start deleting old ones.
I'm not really sure if uninstalling the stock app can actually cause problems, but a few people told me it Could.
It obviously worked fine on Android 5.0 :laugh:

Yes, SMS Limit Unlock did work. Right above your post I said that I sent out about 200 messages with no issues. Some ROMs like BeanStalk, by the way, have SMS limit settings.

I have CM but want unlimited back on android 6.01
Went to Galaxy app store and checked under "My Apps" I had updates for messages, Bixby Vision, Live Messages and about 8 or 10 other apps. They weren't there yesterday, so you all might want to check. I'm not sure what's different yet, but it was a hell of a lot of updates.

Yep and it broke my subs black theme for messages. I had to uninstall reboot and reinstall. All good again. I get concerned when they update the UI because subs applied can crash the UI then we need a factory reset.
touchwiz also updated. the new drop down menu in home screen settings might be new for some people but I downloaded a previous apk version from sammoble.com that already had the notification pull down option. FYI sam mobile uploads most of the apks a lot quicker then Samsung lol.
