I'm not able to download anything from the market. I just get a message saying download unsuccessful. I've been having this for a few hours now but thought it might be a problem with the market but haven't seen anything else about it. I've cleared the cache and data for market and for Google apps and to no success. Has anyone had this before and know how to fix it?

Mine was quite dodgy yesterday but sorted itself out late last night. Never tried today, but I'm inclined to think the market seems to have issues at the moment.
Getting the same problem here..... I've managed to get the things I needed by retrying a lot of times tho..... Took about 14 retries just for the IMDB app

I was wondering if unbranding and then using the VPN in Hungary was how the ChevronWP7.Updater worked. Because I'm wondering if I should find an Att Rom for my surround or not. Anyway thanks for any help! :]

No, the VPN method downloads the update OFFICIALLY from Microsoft servers the way Microsoft intended it.
ChevronWP7.Updater, as far as I know, pulls the update from the server and installs it one by one the way of WM6.5 ROM Flashing...
Again, not sure, but I can assure you the VPN method will not leave you hanging when it comes to future updates.
Ok thanks, just thought oh crap... Anyway thanks again

So if you have tried to install Wind up Knight you already know it won't install on your GS4G, I asked the developer why and he replied:
"Hi Jorge,
Do you have an HTC Desire or a Samsung Galaxy S? If so, your phone is broken and you should complain to your carrier about selling you a defective product. Those devices are unable to download any application that is larger than about 30 mb. There's nothing we can do about it from this end--it's a problem created by Samsung and HTC.
Good luck,
Chris"
So my question here is, does any one have a fix?
I believe you go to manage applications market and clear the cache and data

Ha.. Defective... psh. So what are you supposed to do, return it for the same "Defective Phone"?
Big question, are you using Data or Wifi to download?
Have you tried the app download all files? I think I read somewhere that it would allow you to download larger apps.

I have tried both data and wifi, so there's no way to bypass this? I have never seen an app in the market that takes more than 15 MB but this one is almost 50 MB.
Download app to computer copy to sdcard and install using something like root explorer

EDIT: Oh well, I thought you could download the app to your computer fromt the android market... guess not.
Anyone have any other ideas?
I am having the same exact problem. I am trying to download a 31 mb file. It will not download. 20 mb files are fine. WTH?
I have tried all the app cache and data refreshes mentioned.
This is lame.
But, the suggestion to download to PC and load onto sd card is a great suggestion. Thanks for that. I hadn't thought of that.

Still havent tried it, I will soon though .
Yeah installing the apk from sd card works.

I think raver posted a fix for this for froyo.
Those big files are usually games and if you search you can often find the apk available for download somewhere other than the market. I did that with this sword fighting game but the game turned out not to be worth much.
It could be the new market...
I had this issue a while back on my vibrant and now again with Wind Up knight on my GS4G
I believe its the new market causing the issue.
When I uninstalled the updates of Market 3.1.5 and rolled back to 2.12 on my GS4G, Wind up knights Downloaded and installed no problem. My GS4G is rooted with Stock ROM.
My Vibrant is on Cyanogen Mod 7 with Market 3.1.5, unfortunately version 2.12 is not on the ROM so I can not roll back and install this Game.
I don't think its entirely a device issue. There must be something about the hardware that the Market Software just doesn't agree with.
Any other ideas?
I saw that on SGS I9000, custom ROMs fixed it by changing the download temp file size. Maybe we van do the same on SGS 4G...

I have the same problem using the Android Market, but if it's a problem with the phone, why can I DL Peggle which is 74.1MB using the Amazon Market app? I've had no problems at all DL'ing huge files using Amazons Android Market. It wasn't until I heard about a game that was only on the Android Market that I ran it this problem.
I've also read that to fix this all you have to do is roll back to an older version of the Market. The updates have messed it up somehow.
the problem is not the device...
the issue comes with the market sets a cache limit ...
eg cache limit is x size apk is y size if below x limit download if beyond x limit deny
the reason the trick i posted in froyo worked before the new market is it deleted out the temp file folders and recreated tehm without the restriction imposed...
now its handled by the apk itself..
also note working on removing it from the market ;P cause honestly its annoying as hell!!!
Definitely the Market
Its definitely an issue with the new Market 3.x
And it is cache related, but should not be something that we have to worry about fixing.
I found the issue on Google code on the Open Handset Alliance Project. The bug is open, and it would be great for everyone that has this issue to click the star so that the issue can become more important and hopefully be fixed for the next update to Market.

The issue was even opened from a rep inside Samsung.
Thanks all!
Ok, so I use the xda app on my Nook Tablet, but when going to the website via google browser on my windows xp computer, the webpages are not downloading completely....I get the top Navigation Bar and whatever pop up ad is running but no info below! What's up with this? I need to get in via my PC to download some ROMs and apps.
Is this because I'm running xp instead of windows 7?
I can get the full pages on my browser on the Nook Tablet (rooted) but can't afford enough dropbox storage to get all the ROMs and other files I need uploaded and downloaded to my PC. Anyway, this just seems odd.
This is probably something technically stupid, but, please help if you can!
Thanks..

It may seem simple, but have you tried using a different browser on your PC?
I'm a product of the system I was born to destroy!
Can't get full xda website using XP/Explorer 8 huh?
Oh yes, been there done that! Oddly, on my mom's computer running windows 7 I had no problems.....but it seems hard to believe having xp would limit me that way. I used to be able to get in and see just fine until the last month or so. Checked Norton for any blocks/limitations but none I could see!
Totally perplexed. I am running out of hard drive space but can't see why that would make this happen, unless RAM somehow dips in when needed? But no problems on any other sites!
I am using Explore 8 as primary browser as 9 won't load on xp.....perhaps this is it?
Thanks for your reply. Any other ideas? Any devs or admins out there who can answer?

Hi,
Since some update ago, not sure which one, my chrome browser shows that I have Wikipedia app installed when I don't actually have it. I don't know where to even begin to troubleshoot this issue other than add and remove the wiki app.
Attached are some snapshots of the issue.
Your help is really appreciated it, thank you.

Exact same problem on my Nexus 4. I even did a factory reset and the association came back!
Anyone out there with new information?

Before updating to the newest chrome, clearing data in privacy fixed it; but that's not the case anymore. I DID find out that it seems to be linked to my google account. Logged out of chrome, the association went away. Logged back in, repeat the same search, and it's back.
