Apps not downloading.

Yjani · 28 Aug 2010 at 18:19

Hey guys,

Have a little problem on the Android market where i cant seem to download any apps, paid or free. Have not had any issues before, but the last couple of days ive been having this trouble. I press install to download, which it starts then proceeds to after 10 secs of so to say Download Unsuccessful. Doing it over the home wifi network. Have tried clearing data in the download manager, also the cache from the market. Nothing seems to work. Maybe a software issue?

HTC Desire:
2.2 Froyo
software: 2.09.405.8

Same problem here....market is a bit hit and miss at the moment.

Yjani · 28 Aug 2010 at 18:40

ah..maybe a problem googles end then?

jr1104 · 28 Aug 2010 at 18:41

Yeah, I've also been having problems recently. Think it's a Google thing.

stoofa · 28 Aug 2010 at 19:02

Agreed.
I've been trying to get the Talking Cat all day without any luck

TheCrow · 28 Aug 2010 at 19:10

yup I need to try about 5 times for each download today

I thought I was the only one having a problem! I thought I was going crazy after trying every solution only to get it partly working.

The full fix was to make a new account but I've got a fair few paid apps I'd loose :/

Yjani · 28 Aug 2010 at 19:16

glad its not just me, thought i had installed a crap rom lol

Verbium · 28 Aug 2010 at 19:21

Exactly my thought Yjani! It's made me go through 4 roms today, rerooted (previous problems with rooting did this to me), new account and much more faffing!

insane200 · 28 Aug 2010 at 19:45

Same here, takes ages to download a app as it just says downloading .

Deep · 28 Aug 2010 at 19:55

Ah fantastic! Thought it was just me as well!
Trying to get a new clock!

Verbium · 29 Aug 2010 at 00:03

Anyone elses just magically start working fine? It hits midnight and all issues go away... strange.

stoofa · 29 Aug 2010 at 00:15

Yup.
Talking Cat now came down straight away and at speed (and as an added bonus I could move it to the SD card).

gouldy · 29 Aug 2010 at 00:52

i thought it was the new rom id just flashed, so i done a full wipe and reflashed, gutted when i found out everyone was having problems

everything seems back to normal now thou

Yjani · 29 Aug 2010 at 09:44

Awesome! everything downloading now too..guess the hamster in the wheel at google HQ was having a nut break

Verbium · 30 Aug 2010 at 21:26

Same again this evening for anyone?

Super Tigers · 30 Aug 2010 at 22:01

I've just picked up an LG Optimus GT540 as a fun, mod-able phone, I've found the market to be very dodgy over the past couple of days. Some apps it has taken the sixth or seventh download request for it to download and install, but they have comedown eventually.

Cesar67 · 30 Aug 2010 at 22:27

Market downloads with WiFi is impossible for me lately !

Turn off WiFi and use mobile network = Win !

Strange.

insane200 · 30 Aug 2010 at 22:43

.

gouldy · 31 Aug 2010 at 00:53
