Apps NEVER finish downloading when on 3G - Captivate General

I've been having this really annoying problem lately, where apps just refuse to finish downloading whenever I'm on 3G. They usually go to maybe 25% or so, then just stop there. I can even have full bars and that happens to me.
Whats weird though is that my internet is just as fast as it should be, especially when I use the browser or anything that involves surfing the internet. I've tried many different roms and no matter what I still get this problem. When I'm on WiFi though the apps update or download just fine.
Anyone know of a fix/ have come across this problem as well?

Since you tried different roms, that would rule out most software issues. Have you tried deleting and reinstalling market? Have you flashed it back to stock and did a master clear? Could possibly be a hardware issue? If its still under warranty, I would flash it back to stock and see about trading it in.

I haven't tried flashing back to stock because I figured, like you said, it may be a hardware issue. But its weird that its only affecting the market though

You never know...its worth a shot. And another thing...if you are performing backups through Titianium Backup...are you backing up and restoring system data? That has also known to cause problems.

The route I would take to troubleshoot this...I would do a flash back to stock and master clear. And do absolutely nothing else to it, just for troubleshooting purposes. That way you know you are starting on a stock fresh clean slate. Get logged into the market and test. If it continues to do it, I would do a warranty exchange. If it fixes it, then you know you have something going on with your configuration or maybe corrupt data.

I have this problem on Wifi when I use the Bill to Account method of payment. If I use my credit card billing, there is no issue. If I want a smooth app purchase from Market using the Bill to method I have to go via 3G. Might not be related, but thought I'd mention it.

Market Problem

I have been having this issue since oh I say about CM6 Nightlies 8/26-8/27 when the "Market Issue" crept up. And let me say I know that had nothing to do with this ROM per-say. I am using CM6 now on 9-1 nightly...Perhaps someone has\had the same problem.
No matter what I do using AppBrain or just the Market app I keep getting these dam force close on trying to download these 3 updates. 1. Handcent SMS and 2.Droid Battery and 3.Clockwork ROM manager. All of these apps I have removed and re-installed and then tried the market again...Still shows they all 3 need to be updated. Obviously when I am re-installing I am installing the last version I have prior to the updates that both sites say I need. Should I go into manage apps and wack all the updates for all 3 of these apps? Or is there a fix for the market itself? I have removed AppBrain and re-installed but that did not fix the issue either.
Now I have not been wiping anything on these nightlies I might add..And I have never had ANY issues other than the ones mentioned here. I have noticed the GPS issues as a lot of others have. But on 9/1 has ZERO GPS issues and locked in a matter of seconds. Also, I only can get ANY data via WiFi...<---A whole OTHER issue. But I know the fix for that. I just need to have my phone added with my Provider...Which is MetroPCS blah blah. I can get SMS and the Net of course now that there is a nice Proxy Setting which I hope that remains in the final build.
Anywho...Market issues anyone? Is there a way to wack the market.apk and re-install it? I have cleaned cache on just about everything I could think of..Re-set defaults etc on the 3 apps in question. Suggestions?
What I need is
Handcent SMS Version 3.2.9...Again I am NOT able to get to the market and I can't get on WiFi at the moment...
After further investigation ALL I need is Handcent SMS 3.2.9 I have the other versions I have NO idea why it keeps saying that I need to update the other two I have the latest of Gauge Battery Widget and ClockworkROM Manager. Hmmm interesting...

This is a recent and known google problem, not a rom problem. Google's servers have been overloaded, sot his is why the market is not preforming well.
i'm having a similar issue for quite a while now. probably over a month but i've just been dealing with it.
i think it started when i put cy mod 6 on my hero after a complete wipe.
i can not install any apps. from appbrain/market it will go through the dowload process and begin installation. but the installation is always unsuccessful. for almost every app. i've tried restoring from myback up, titanium back up, app saver. nothing works.
i was just about to completely wipe my phone & sd card but thought i'd take a look here first.
any help would be greatly appreciated. =)

Market issue

so here is my problem. just out of the blue, market has stopped letting me update any of my apps. i am able to see all the apps, mine as well as any other app on market, however, as soon as i begin the update process, my data connection cuts out and the update fails.
i have tried a multitude of different roms/kernels today and no luck. i tried clearing markets cache and still no luck. even on a clean install of any rom, i still have the same issue, market will not let me update my apps, nor can i download any for that matter.
i have finally given up after tinkering with this issue since 10am. are there any wise thunderbolt savants out there that can shed some much appreciated light on my new dilemma?
i dont think it is any particular app causing this as when this problem arose, i had not made any changes to my bolt, it was just as if market just decided to give me the finger....all day. also i did try different radios as well and still no change.
the data connection seems fine otherwise, just when the market wants to download, it stops and fails the updates.
thanks a billion bolts in advance, i think my brain is fried from romming all day.

[Q] Can't access network, need to wipe on Andromeda

Been using my Cappy as a game device for close to a year since I got an SII. Tonight I tried to download an app via wireless and could not access Google Play. Tried using the SIM from the SII, but phone still gets network errors even with wifi on. Provisioned the phone, but still no go. I'm thinking a factory reset and starting from scratch might work, but I am running Andromeda 3 and am unsure what will happen if I do a reset. Will it restore to the factory version of Froyo? Will I lose root? I want to use the Cappy to fly my AR Drone 2, but I don't want to mess it up to do so. It flies great with the SII, but it would be nice to have the Cappy for it if possible. Incoming calls cause the copter to land and can be a pain. The Cappy doesn't even show up among my phones on Google Play. Don't remember deleting it, but until I can get some kind of network access I'm sunk. Did the APNs change for the Cappy in the past year? Shouldn't it be able to connect via wifi regardless? Thanks!
That's a strange problem... however you didn't specify what exactly isn't working. I know Google play doesn't work, but does anything else work over wifi? Either way, it is hard to give support when you are using a very outdated version of Android. I recommend you at least update to Gingerbread, or if you want, Jellybean.
You can also try clearing data for the play store. That's strange that it doesn't show up under your account. My old phone that I sold months ago is still there (twice), and there is no way to delete phones from the list. Are you sure you weren't using a different account?
I can't access either network, which is what is baffling me. I would think I should at least be able to access the internet via wifi, but even that won't work. It connects to my router fine, but beyond that nothing. As for my Play account, I remember several Cappys showing up there because I had 2 replacements within a month back when I first got it in 2010. Whether they dropped off from non-use or I deleted them somehow I don't remember. I just had my SII replaced under warranty last month and both are still there. My SII came with a new 4G SIM, which might not be compatible with the Cappy, but that doesn't explain not being able to connect via wifi. I'm stumped.
A factory data reset won't change your Rom, and you won't lose root. It might fix the problem.

Well, I managed to get online, but another issue cropped up. I logged into Google Play and can see all my installed apps. There are many needing updating, but when I try to do so I get a message that the app is not compatible with my device. Why would an already installed app see that an update is available and then not let me install it? I can also receive e-mail to my 2 configured e-mail accounts, but I can't send any e-mails through them. The same is true of both these accounts on my SII, so this issue may have nothing to do with the Cappy. I may just put a GB ROM on this thing, but it's been so long since I flashed anything that I have no idea which ROM to use or how to do it. I wonder if I copy over the APK for the app I want to run if it will work?

You'll need to flash KK4 with bootloaders (check the stickied in dev section). That will get you on stock GB, from there you can flash w/e ROM you want, I would suggest JB based. (AOKP and AOCP are my personal fav but you can look them up and choose one you see fit)
A lot of things changed since you were all over this forum But if you have TiBu, JB will optimize your apps so they should run fine (just remember to save your IMEI with TiBu otherwise they'll FC).
A fresh download of those apps tho will most likely be better. Just like after formatting a PC, it is better to fresh install your apps. And who knows, you might fall in love with your Cappy all over again

[Q] 2 Apps constantly Force Closing only when Rooted.

Let me start off by saying Im not a n00b at this stuff by any means...I did however decide to go cell phoneless for a couple years, so Ill admit Im probably way behind on everything, but I usually dont have any problems. I got my S5 brand new around Christmas, it had 4.4.4 already loaded on it. I decided instead of going crazy like I did with my GS2 and Vibrant, wanting to customize every aspect of it, Id keep it simple, root it, debloat it myself and be done with it. I rooted it no problem, but everytime I rebooted my phone Google Maps and S Health would force close repetitively, until I went into the priv-app folder and reinstalled Health Services and same with Google Maps. Theyd work fine until I rebooted then it was a rinse was repeat situation every time. I updated to Lollipop through Odin, Rooted it, same issue, same 2 apps. While its not The worst problem to have, it is very tedious. So for the time being, Im unrooted, and I really hate the 734 apps sprint preloads on their phones, and Id like to change a couple things in the build.prop, but Im going with the less annoying option for now. Anyone else have a similar or even the same issue?
Also I guess I should mention Ive tried doing a full Factory Reset, wiped cache and dalvik, and before I have time to login to sync my accounts to my phone, if its rooted they force close over and over.

Is this when you are simply rooted? Or after you have debloated? If so, maybe you removed or disabled something important.
I have tried to keep it simple so far as well. I updated to Lollipop OTA. Even though I took the normal OTA update something about the phone was not right. Maybe some old settings or data causing problems. I did a full data wipe and then flashed this stock ROM. It is Deodexed and has a few things removed, but it mostly stock. I also ran the Debload tool included in that thread to rid myself of all of the Sprint apps. The phone has been super stable and smooth.
This happens once its rooted before I remove anything. I learned a long time ago to be careful what I remove, lol. But like I said, once the phone boots up before I even have the chance to set it up S Health and Google Maps force close and continue to do so until I go into the folder I believe its /system/priv-apps/ and reinstall the Health Service and same with Google Maps. and Ive wiped the phone clean, clearing it of any settings. I knew it wouldnt work, but figured I had tried everything else, but I even tried moving them to my external sd. I guess its just one of those things, Ill either figure it out or just keep it unrooted for a while.
That doesnt mean if someone has any ideas I dont want to hear them though.

MMS and Notification issues on Note 10+

Hello, I've had the unlocked Note 10+ for a few weeks and have had chronic issues since day one and not really sure what to do about it. A lot of the issues seem to get worse over time. Not sure if the problems are related, but it feels like it.
First, I have MMS issues mostly with any other app but the built in messaging app and even that one isn't perfect. Using Textra for instance will get me MMS timeouts sending and receiving and sometimes messages don't send or come in. This seems to happen with or without wifi enabled.
Next, I'm getting delayed notifications on many if not all apps. Notifications will some in here or there, then all of a sudden I'll get all the notifications for the day all at once. So suddenly my phone is going crazy receiving 50 notifications from different apps all at once. Related to that, if I get a notification and click on it to open the related app, often nothing happens. Then like an hour or more later the app I clicked on for the notification will pop open in the middle of doing something else. It will also get hung up installing or updating apps. A reboot will usually clear this but at some point it get's stuck again and will take hours to install an app if it does at all.
I've done all the usual things like disabling battery optimization for the apps in question, set the phone to high performance mode. Uninstalled and reinstalled things, cleared the cache partition, reset network settings, checked APN settings, even now have factory reset the phone, twice, got a new SIM card. Talked to Samsung and they tell me I need to mail it to their repair depot in Texas if I think it's hardware.
So no idea where to go with this. Seems hard to believe it's a hardware problem and sending the phone away for a week or more doesn't seem like a great option, especially when they might just send it back as it works OK for awhile after a reboot.
Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks
After you reset the phone, did you install apps manually from store or let it go off a backup?
Also, just an idea but maybe the tower servicing you is acting up.. Unless it's been happening in multiple areas.

That is a good point, I did let it install automatically from the Google backup. It wasn't a true restore the way I would generally think of it as everything was installed from scratch, but maybe some settings are getting put back that are messed up. It happens out of the are as well, but I did talk to my carrier and they claimed the did some stuff at the tower that might help. I usually think that means they go get coffee then tell me to reboot the phone. Maybe this evening I'll try a fresh install with no restore. Sort of sucks of course as that's a lot more work to get going, but what the hell at this point. Thanks.

Sorry for the late reply. I have a note 10+ myself now unlocked and seeing some texting issues where I don't receive text or mms from Apple phones. Hasn't happened with Android to Android though.
Sent from my SM-N975U1 using Tapatalk
So none of that reinstall stuff helped me. On texting I finally tried the Google Messages app with chat features enabled when it was leaked. Messages alone didn't work, but enabling RCS did and now it actually works better than ever. I hate giving up on textra, but I like the sheer speed of sending giant MMS messages now.
On the notifications thing, the thing that finally got that working right was disabling the Google app. As soon as I did that, all is working as expected. Of course that breaks some Google stuff, but at the moment that's what I have to do to make this work. Even upgrading to Android 10 betas didn't allow me to turn that back on.
