When I try to download apps it says it was unsuccessful. Regardless of whether it is wi-fi or 3g. First time I've had this problem. Any suggestions?

Try clearing your cache and deleting the .android_secure folder on your sdcard. Might also use a file manager like EStrong's to go into your download folder and delete any download-file.apk files and then reboot, that usually works for me.
Thanks for the info. I tried it but it's still not working. Any other ideas?

Is it possible you deleted the Google Talk app, without downloads never complete.
No, its still there. I already pursued that avenue. I'm totally stumped this one.

Ok....for some reason unknown to me, it started working again.

It's the Market's cache. A lot of Android users had this problem. Clear the Market's cache, reboot and you're all fine.

okay I broke my market app. I have been trying to get it to work again. Basically I broke it trying to get a previous version of market back on it so I can put a theme on it.
So I get an error, The application market (process com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
Market will load. You can search. But if you click on anything it closes.
Here i what I have done.
Restored a back up from titanium.
used the app doctor.
unistalling and reinstalling the market.
Any one have any suggestions??
Wipe all cache in recovery and mount system
Find the update zip of your rom or the vending.apk you plan on pushing and use adb to push it to /system/app
This is the only way I know how to fix it, it helps alot when you try to modify certain apps because the cache effs everything up sometimes

Word. Haven't tried that yet. Give it a shot later. I know I can flash but even with backups I'm not looking forward to a flash.

Hey thanks a bunch!! it worked like a charm. and really, you do have to wipe that cache. That was what was buggering me up every time. Not only do I have my market working again, but I have my themed market back. WOOT!

I have the same problem with certain apps from the market (Air Attack HD and Tune Wiki to name a few). I get the message that it "can't install to SD card and I think it also says something about USB. I have gone into BAMF Toolkit and "Application Install Location" and tried all three options and still does not want to work. I read in one post that there is a Market App fix, but I've tried searching for it with no luck. Any help on this would be appreciated
I get the same error with angry birds

Try removing your SD card before download.

Pulling the SD card prior to download did not work for me. I am only getting the error on certain apps. Tune Wiki for example will not install from Market. I then went to their web page and tried to install the app directly (as an attachment from my email) and it won't install from there either. That makes me think that there is a remnant of the program somewhere on my phone or some other error that is preventing this and has nothing to do with the Market App. Does anyone have suggestions. I've installed Root Explorer on my phone, but not exactly sure where I should be looking and what I should be deleting. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm running BAMF 1.6.3.
Read a post about clearing market cache. Still no love. Gonna keep trying. Let's keep this post alive until we figure this out.
Yeah, I tried deleting the Market cache and cleared data and that didn't help. I don't think it is a Market issue though (read my post a couple up), since I can download most apps from the Market. The only ones I have problem with are ones that were previously on my phone, and this is not all of the previous apps, just some of them. Also attempting to install a app (one that I had trouble with from Market) from an email attachment also will not install. Are others that are having this problem having the same symptoms: can download some apps, can't install problem apps from email either?
So I need to back track as now my Market App is not installing anything. I've tried what others have suggested go into Manage Programs and delete cache, clear data and force stop Market app, and that has just made matters worse.
I have a problem with downloading apps from the android market. everytime I try to download one it gets stuck on "Downloading"
Now before u jump at me saying that it is a common problem and that I should search it up, just know that I did search not just here but all over google and did find some sulotions but nothing seemed to work.
some of the sulotions I tried:
clearing data and cache for download manager, market, google apps etc..
uninstalling a bunch of apps and wiping dalvik cache
factory reset, which worked but after a couple of days the problem came back.
I'm runnig MIUI 2.2.3 (android 2.3.7) on my htc desire hd

You did force close the market and reopen it right?
Also, try a different google account

I don't believe that's the problem because I just found out that I can't download files through the miui browser as well, but I can download with firefox for android. Based on that I believe that it has something to do with the download manager maybe, but as I mentioned before I already tried clearing its data.. any thoughts?
I have this problem on my CM9 Photon....
this is happening on my phone. it's stuck on the notification thing even tho it's been installed.
If you have the dalvik to cache the cache apps won't download

Perhaps you have some internet settings changed through apps e.g. droidwall, lbe privacy guard, tethering apps? When I have problems with market downloads, I have to reboot phone then clear data/cache for download manager and market.
Try using mobile data instead of wifi, or vice versa.

I've had one of these problems before with the dictionary.com app. I found the file in data/data and removed it. It then installed successfully.
The story this time is that my Reddit app disappeared one day...recently. it wasn't in my apparently drawer anymore. I decided to install it again from the market and that install error popped up. I went into data/data and I could not find anything to do with Reddit in order to delete it.
Any suggestions? I am on liquid smooth.

Try maybe fixing SD card permissions in CWM? That usually does the trick when stuff like that happens to me, have had that issue with Facebook app and one of my games.
Thanks for that. Tried it but no help. I have TWRP.
Also is it odd that some applications randomly force close. Without an error though.

So I have a rooted GS3 running stock 4.1.2 and I flashed one of those inverted Google play store apps using twrp. Then when I rebooted my device for another reason and went into the play store, it said no connection even though my WiFi and 4g are both fine. I uninstalled all updates to the app, but then the play store would crash even when running in the background. So I found the latest version of the play store I could online, which was 4.0.2.5 which isn't the most recent. But now I still have the same no connection problem. Any solutions? I've also tried clearing data and cache from the app

This happened to me to me once, I fixed it by restoring a backup. I couldn't really figure out what was causing it. I know I messed it up by clearing data on system framework. But I have no idea how that messed it up.
You could just flash a custom rom and that will fix the issue. The problem is that the playstore is being updated constantly. Any Inverted playstore I have running ends up getting automatically updated to the most recent release anyways, so I just kind of gave up theming it. You probably installed an old version of playstore. The playstore must have some automatic connection protocol that enables it to automatically update without permission, and an old playstore might not allow that connection.
You might just be able to completely delete the playstore from your phone to install a recent one, but I have no idea if that would work. Someone has to know how to fix this without a restore or flashing a new rom.

So pretty much I should just do a Titanium Backup for all my apps except the Play Store, install the custom ROM, then restore the data for all my apps and hope the Play Store works?

That will work for sure, just have to find a custom rom you like. Your play store won't restore even if it's backed up through titanium. It's a good idea to have titanium anyway.
Never restore system data, only restore user apps + data. That's known to cause problems after a restore.

Are you new to flashing roms? Just make sure you do all the proper steps first.
Nandroid and unlock bootloader first.
factory reset, wipe cache and Dalvik cache, format system, then flash rom.
Follow the instructions on the roms page and you're good to go.

I'm now at the point where Google Drive and Google+ keep crashing too. I'm realizing this is a problem with all the google apps, so what would happen if I just flashed a gapps zip file for 4.1.2 via TWRP? would that work since this seems to be a problem within all the apps by google? im running the latest ota, the MD3 build.

That is very strange, give it a shot, flashing a gapps package might work. I do think it's a problem with the Google apps though, so your play store is working right? I think all you need now is let the play store auto update. Maybe there's a way to force it. That should allow the rest of your apps to work.

so if anybody having this problem again
i get mine fixed by doing this :
1. Open any file explorer that have root access
2. Search for a folder named "system" and then look for a folder that says "etc"
3. Inside "etc" folder search for a file that says "host" . edit that text using any text editor
4. Delete everything in the host file
5. Save
I ended up fixing it by flashing another rom, using titanium backup to copy the play store. and then reflashed back to the original rom I was using and then restored with copy of the play store i previously had.

The host file is read-only, I can't modify it.
I too have the same issue and cannot edit the file due to read-only permissions.
