Hello,
This is my first post so I apologize in advance if it is in the wrong area or if the answer is common knowledge. I looked the best I could and was unable to find a solution to my problem.
The issue is recently when I try to download files from within the browser I receive the message "Download Unsuccessful" and the file does not download. This has happened numerous times of the last few days and is now at the point where I cannot seem to download anything directly from the browser.
An example of things I am trying to download are podcasts off of PodcastAlley.com (podcastalley.com/podcast_details.php?pod_id=20249) and also I have had the issue when trying to download an file from megaupload/rapidshare etc.
I found a lot of people had this issue with the market however my market works fine and I am able to download apps. I have tried clearing the cache/data of the market and download manager etc but it has resulted in nothing.
I should also mention that I have this problem over Wifi, 3g and Edge network connections so I really dont know what to think. Aside from factory reset, does anyone have any ideas as to what I can try? Thanks!
EDIT: forgot to say that this issue seems to have appeared since I flashed the stock frf91 update for custom recoveries as I currently have RA recovery.
Well, I feel silly. I found out what my problem was when I went to transfer the files to my SD card after downloading them on my pc; it turns out my SD card was full.
Yes, a little embarrassing, and a little funny but I am glad I got my problem sorted out. In gingerbread 3.0 I would like to see something that tells me why my download failed next time haha.
I just did the same thing yesterday.
It's ok, brain farts happen.
Hey guys. I tried asking these questions on the official thread of this Rom but somehow my post is getting lost in the tons of pages which are accumulating everyday So here are my questions :
y2jamit said:
Alright folks. I finally managed to move from CM6 stable to NXSense. Before moving from CM 6, I partitioned my SD card using Rom manager with a partition of 512 MB & a swap of 32 MB.I managed to install version eViL-NXSense-v.1.13.1. However after that eViL-Q&D-NXSense-v.1.14.1 was released. So I downloaded that first from the 4shared link. I tried to install the new ROM from Rom Manager using the wipe option. However when the phone goes into recovery it shows formatting blah blah blah and then phone doesn't install the 1.14.1 Rom and reboots and gets stuck on the Google cross logo.
I managed to restore back to 1.13.1 from the back up that I had made. Now instead of using the Rom Manager I booted into recovery and tried to use the install from SD card option. This time the phone started copying files and showed that twice. After this I get the following huge error:
E: Can't symlink /system /customize/resource/bootanimation.zip
E: Failure at line 27:
symlink/data/local/bootanimation.zip
SYSTEM : customize/resource/bootanimation.zip
Installation aborted.
I had to once again resort back to my backup. Can anyone help me out this issue?
After all this I even tried to install 1.13.1 from the recovery using the install from sd card option and apparently this also gave me the exact same bootanimation error. So I guess both the zips are ok. not sure what else could be going wrong.
Also even after flashing networkfix on 1.13.1, the market still struggles to work. It shows loading for some time and then gives an option to retry. However if I try to search for any application or go to downloads, the market starts working normally. Can anyone also provide a fix for this problem?
I really want to use this as my default rom because I am in love with it Excellent work Evil !!! Just want to sort out these issues.

In addition to the above mentioned post, I wanted to add that I now also have a2sd enabled after running the commands from terminal emulator. What is the simplest way to update from 1.13.1 to a higher version? Also when loading market for the first time, the GPRS connection disappears and comes back in like a minute. Why is this happening? When using Trackball Alert Pro the patch option says compatible rom not found but the alerts are working fine When using wi-fi hotspot and default options, it is not getting turned on although 3G shows in the top left corner. Do I have manually change any settings.
I would be highly grateful if anyone can resolve all or any of my queries. I am absolutely exhausted in asking these queries in the official thread and reading through tons of pages just to see my query being buried.
Thanks in advance guys.
Alright guys I managed to install 1.14.1 successfully by doing a full wipe first using instructions from this fabulous thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=747381 Although this thread is for myTouch 3G Slide, the basic instructions are the same for Nexus One. You just have to use the trackball to select an option. This is exactly what I was looking for I am sure many newbies like me who don't know what a full wipe is, will learn a lot from this magnificent thread. Thank you kingofyo1
Now I still don't understand why the patch option in Trackball Alert Pro shows the rom is not compatible even though basic version is officially provided with the rom. Anyway the alerts work, so I am not going to waste any more time on it.
Even in eViL-Q&D-NXSense-v.1.14.1, when I first open market, my GPRS connection disappears and comes back in like 20-30 seconds. After that market works really well. Anyone has a solution for this?
Also Wi-Fi hotspot still doesn't turn on using default settings. Do I have to manually choose any settings?
Can anyone shed some light on the above mentioned questions?
I am having two problems on my Samsung Galaxy S Plus GT-I9001.
The first one, of not being to able to download apps started day before yesterday. When I tried to update apps via Play Store, it would just be stuck at starting download, and the actual download won't start. The bar just kept moving like it does before download starts, but actual download does not start.
I searched for solution to this problem, and tried the steps on Google support... to clear cache and data for Google Framework Services, and Download Manager, and Google Play Store services. Tried that, nothing happened.
So, I decided to do a factory reset, in the hope that, that would solve the problem. And so I performed the factory reset, but the problem is same as before. Still cannot download apps from Play Store.
Yesterday, when I tried to download update for apps, it showed error 927 sometimes. Other times, it shows nothing, but just gets stuck at starting download.
However, I was able to download two apps, which makes it strange. I was able to download Street View for Maps, and Voice Search. But, the downloading for others didn't work.
I searched for solutions to the problem of error 927, and I tried different solutions I could find, but none have worked. I tried the extensive steps given on this thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33762494&postcount=8
I tried it several times, but so far this has not worked. It's making me a bit frustrated.
Second part of the problem is that, after the factory reset my phone is in the state that it first came. An upgrade to my phone firmware is there from Samsung. I have Samsung Kies installed on my system, and I have successfully done an upgrade to my phone earlier to the latest firmware being offered from Samsung.
So, I tried the upgrade via Samsung Kies. Strangely, it shows what version of firmware I have on my phone, but does not show the name of the version available, it's blank. However, it does inform that an upgrade is there.
So, I start the upgrade, and it performs an initial download, asks for UAC clearance twice, and then the firmware upgrade window comes up, where it starts to download the firmware upgrade files. Then, a Notice window comes up, with something written in Korean or Chinese, I don't know, with an OK button. When pressed OK, the firmware upgrade process closes, and then the phone disconnects from Kies, and is connected again, and then it again shows that a firmware upgrade is available.
I tried upgrading multiple times, same thing occurs. How am I supposed to understand the Notice in Korean/Chinese... that's stupid.
Also, the latest versions of Kies, starting from version 2.5.0 do not support GT-I9001. I had to download version 2.3.3 in order to use Kies to connect to my phone. Because the official upgrade is offered via Kies for I9001. Samsung is not offering update via OTA.
I am using Windows 8, and Samsung Kies works fine.
So, please help me with these two problems... downloading of apps problem, and performing upgrade of my phone.
I haven't rooted my phone.. it's just over a year old.. bought it in January last year. So, warranty is over.
I am also a newbie, and I haven't performed any rooting, or haven't yet gone into recovery mode, etc. So, if I have to do that, will need proper steps, and explanation .
Thanks.
Update via ODIN. Takes some time and patience but it works much better. See the the index in the GT-I9001 i've made a tutorial

Am getting crazy here.
I keep trying for the downloads once in a while. So, I tried downloading again, and this time, the downloads started normally. I updated 3 apps.. Gmail, Google Search, Maps. I also downloaded Flashlight app. After that, I tried to download more, but now again same problem is happening... stuck on starting download. Tried downloading different apps, same. I don't know what the heck is happening.
Any solution will be appreciated.
What might have caused this? After a factory reset, things should have worked fine, but why even after a factory reset, there are problems?
Which google play version do you use?
Thanks for the link.
The Google Play version on my phone which it installed automatically when I had performed factory reset is 3.10.14

If you have the newest one; V4.0.25 then go to settings > apps > manage apps (or on ICS/JB scrol to all) then search for google play and for Play services and wipe data/cache on both apps.
Well, I have version 3.10.14, and as said in my first post, I have already tried that multiple times, that is, clearing data and cache for the Google Play Store, Play Store Service, Google Services Framework, Download Manager.. but the problem is still there.
There are no updates shown for Google Play Store on my phone.
I have Gingerbread 2.3.6 on my phone.. XXKQD.
About performing upgrade with Odin, how do I know which stock firmware I should upgrade to.
Well, ive searched error 927 via Google ( ) and it means a server error on the developers side. Meaning the playstore/application has issues. Whichs cant be solved by us users

*#1234# and chose the correct CSC for your country.
Also did you tried a complete factory reset?

Well, I too had searched for this error yesterday, and as said in my first post, it is quite a common error, and I found some solutions, like the one you told, to clear data/cache, etc. But that does not work.
It does not necessarily mean that the problem is on developer's side, otherwise, it wouldn't have been solved with the different solutions.

Well, I have performed a factory reset, which is available in the phone under Privacy.
Is there any other form of factory reset? What's a complete factory reset? How is it different from the factory reset there in the phone?

Factory reset via recovery? Can also help..
And yes if you have the correct one then you can search for it on samsung updates or sammobile
Update on the issues - one issue solved
Seems like the problem is with Play Store, and that's why I was not able to download the apps. Now, the apps are downloading fine, without my doing anything. First, it was working randomly... but now, am able to download all apps. I now feel stupid to have performed the factory reset on the phone so soon.
Seems like Google are rolling out a new version of Play Store, and so I think that's the reason behind the downloading issues. But, its strange why it happened to me only. Anyone else with GT-I9001 experienced this issue?
About the second problem of not being able to upgrade the firmware via Samsung Kies.. I wrote to Samsung, since I have not got any helpful reply from here on the forum. They wrote back to me, giving me the address of Samsung Smart Cafe in the city, and telling me to go there. That's just stupid. For a problem with their software, why should I be the one going to the Smart Cafe. Obviously, they will charge me for their services there. I have written back to them, about this, that it's a problem with their software.. its showing non-English messages whereas the installation language was chosen to be English. Let's see what they reply... but I am not expecting any helpful reply. It will be just wishy-washy.
I may try upgrading the firmware via Odin, but I am thinking if it's worth it. The official firmware upgrade isn't so good, and has bugs.
I am thinking that if I have to upgrade via flashing, then why not root the phone, and install a custom ROM.
Can anyone please tell me about a stable and efficient good custom ROM for GT-I9001? ... or should I open a new thread to ask about it?
Am an absolute newbie with all this rooting, and flashing, and have no idea about the ROMs.
Hi guys, I've had a problem for some time now and it's driving me nuts.
Basically some apps just lose internet connection after some time. Facebook and spotify are the most obvious.
In Facebook I can see the news feed but if try to read comment or reply it gives me an error. If I log out of the app I can't log in as it says I have no connection. If I open Facebook via Chrome I have no problem whatsoever.
Spotify is also giving me problem. If I search something I get the no connection error. But if I open a Playlist that was recently played I can open it with no problems..
Everytime a new firmware comes I update it, it works well for some days and then I start having these problems again..

Factory reset. If that doesn't fix it use Xperia companior to repair your phone.
OK i just tried both methods and it didn't work.. I{m now going to reflash the FW

Yup, reflashing the FW worked... I really do not understand what is going on. Let's see how long it will last this time.
OK so after re rooting the phone and installing all apps via titanium I'm getting that problem again.
If a reflash the fw again it works and then I reroot and back to the same problem again.
Of note I'm using xperifix with magisk 17.1 and I'm on the latest fw customized latam. I really don't know what to do but this is enfuriating..

I think i had the same problem. Disabling "mobile data always active" in developer settings seemed to do the trick aswell as rebooting the phone every few days. Try if that helps
