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.

The Music Beta by Google app seems to be giving me issues. I have been using it since it launched on the Xoom without any kind of problems until now. It is telling me that I have too many devices connected to my account. That doesn't make any sense because I know for a fact that I do not have more than 8 devices or computers connected to my account like it's telling me I have. I know for a fact that I have my Xoom, my Droid, and my computer all connected to my Music account. And that's it! Nothing else.
Now I can't use Music Beta on my Xoom... and I don't know why it would be saying that when I know it's false. This is the only app that is giving me problems. Screenshot attached...
UPDATE: The problem has been resolved by me! Check out the post below to see...
I have fixed the problem! I am rooted, of course... and it turns out that every time I wiped data on my Xoom, and then signed back into my Music Beta account on a fresh new install, it would add my Xoom to my list of devices again. My Xoom was actually listed 7 times on the Music Beta device list, followed by my Droid... which is a total of 8 devices. That explains everything!
To fix this:
Just log into the desktop version of Music Beta by clicking here, go into settings, and then you'll see a place to manage your devices. Just remove the multiple device entries from the list, and then... presto! We're back in business!
Important Lesson Of The Day:
If you own a Xoom, are rooted, wipe data a lot, and you use Music Beta a lot... you will want to make sure that you check out your device list right away. I can almost guarantee that your Xoom is listed more than one time. If there are multiple device entries of the same thing, just remove them off your list. It's that easy!
And if you don't do this... eventually you will end up hitting 8 devices total like I did. Then you will have to remove at least one device entry from the list before you can use it again, because you are only allowed 8 devices at a time, even if it just so happens to be the same device listed 8 different times. Just be aware of that situation and you won't ever have a problem.
If anyone has found this information useful or informative, please give me a thanks. Also, leave any comments if you have any. Thanks all!
i experienced a similar situation with the kindle app, every time i wiped and reloaded the kindle app, it thought it was a new xoom, so i had 6 tablets on the account.
thanks for the heads up with the google music.

Ahh very similar situation indeed. It's something I wanted us root users to realize when wiping data. Little things like this... I don't think most people think about or even know about. Also, thanks for the heads up about the Kindle app. I don't use it so much right now so I didn't know that.

Ah that's also good to know. It seems like these kind of services you'd have to watch if you are rooted, just so you won't have any future problems.
Cant find settings in google music on the web page
Sorry, I cant find the settings in the google music section on the web page. Do you mind explaining where it is? Sorry if this sounds like a noob question.

Nah it's cool. You need to click the gear icon in the upper right hand corner of the Music Beta page while you are logged in, and then hit music settings. You can then see the page that has your devices on it. Done.
Thanks for finding this. I couldn't figure it out. Would work fine from my laptop, but not on my EVO or my Thrive. Was making me a little crazy.
Thanks for this. Since I've only wiped my Xoom once, it was listed once...but my D3..listed multiple times, cuz of wiping
Thanks!!
Thanks for the fix, I got the notification last night and had no idea how since I only use Google Music on my PC and phone, hopefully they fix the issue of it automatically authorizing the same device multiple times.

Hopefully they do down the road. Each device has its own MAC address, so it should be fairly easy to allow it to differentiate between same devices so that they will not make the list more than once. It should not be difficult for it to identify a device that is already on the list via MAC address, or so you would think so right.
Hello people, how are you doing all? I am a new member and this is my first post. To be honest, I was searching on the web for a solution for my problem but really I haven't found any. My problem with my ((HTC Sensation XL)) device is that when I started using wireless internet connection and downloaded some books applications my device started to get slow :crying: and when I log in to any application on it it opens normally but when I press the back arrow it takes time to display the home screen and a small box appears with a circle in it and "loading" sentence. Another problem I have is that in the notification bar a statement of "importing books, please wait for a moment..." as if an application is downloading books without my permission, I tried so much to remove it but when I tap on it, it doesn't want to open!
Please friends, if anyone can help me to solve this disaster I will be thankful really cuz if it continued with me any longer I will be like :silly: :cyclops:
Thank you in advance.

Well, I would delete the apps you installed right before the problems began and see if that helps out. For your second problem try going into settings-apps-all and find download manager and delete it's data to see if that stops the unknown download notification.

just instal android boot manager from google play store and disable app , or instal app bloker ond blok internet acess for app that makeing problems
I foolishly activated McAfee which is pre-loaded on the European Note 8 running Android 9, big mistake. It has taken a dislike to one of my apps, which is important to me and have used for a couple of years with no issues. The problem is you cannot add to a safe list, or deactivate McAfee, have tried many solutions, but no luck. It is hell-bent on the deletion
The phone is not rooted.
Anyone on this forum got any experience or solution with this bloatware, there must be a way to deactivate without a full reset back to factory settings?

You could try clearing the cache and data of the 'device security' app.

Will give it a try, although not sure will be able to locate this app, McAfee is nowhere to be seen anywhere, except the reference (powered by McAfee) when you do a security scan.
But there is some other bloatware I would like to remove, so will be a useful exercise.

You can download an app on Google Play called "package inspector" which will give you the app name so you can disable it.
For the device security use the line below.
com.samsung.android.sm.devicesecurity
I am using an app from Google Play called Package Disabler Pro+ (Samsung) that has successfully disabled everything I want. It cost a couple bucks but was well worth it.

Wish it was that easy, Not sure using what you are using but note 8 running android 9 that is not possible. McAfee is hidden somewhere in the security app and is not visible in settings.

That is not possible, check it out, you will not find McAfee anywhere in settings.

Not possible to deactivate, have tried many times. I think the only solution is a hard reset and not activate McAfee.
I'm using the Android 12 Beta 2 on a T-Mobile Samsung 21 Ultra and I keep getting the Carrier Device Manager requests are processing message constantly. In addition, I tried to use the eSIM feature and lost signal 2 mins after setting up. Had to go get a physical SIM to get service. I have reset the phone to factory settings and the error is still there. suggestions?
Same here.
It is already reported on the Samsung Members Android 12 beta forum. Apparently this is something T-Mobile needs to fix.
Ok, I have a theory, but I'd need someone on Android 10 or beta 1 to verify for me. If you're not on beta 2, could you check if Carrier Hub notifications are off by default? I think they accidentally just left it default on in this build.

If you have the members app and were officially signed up for the beta, you will see the posts under questions.
I looked.. I couldn't find it.
