[Q] how to stop "ongoing" marketplace download??

Today when i was trying to update skype and download some other applications in the market, this below thing happened to me.
On my drag down task bar there are 17 "ongoing" downloads from android market. even though i cancelled everything, tried also to stop/remove market from app manager, stop google talk (i don't have this installed but i see it in running services?!), rebooting the phone, software repair (failed),... that thing is still there and never goes away.
i'm running out of ideas. anyone can help?
sony ericsson x10i 2.1 update-1

Try deleting the market cache/data. Go to settings > applications > manage applications, then the "all" tab. Find the market & force stop it. Then clear the data & the cache. If the notification is still there, reboot & it should go away.

if in MIUI rom there is a Downloads application to manage download.
duno where to get the apps

So the problem is that your status bar is stuck showing downloads, not necessarily the app itself.
Since you said you uninstalled & reinstalled the market, I'm assuming you're rooted. If this is the case, there's an app on the forums that kills your status bar then restarts it, but I'm not sure if it would work in your situation. It was made with the CM7 theme chooser in mind, so it may only work on 2.3. I'm not sure though, as I've never used it. You could also try booting into recovery & wiping your cache & dalvik cache. If you have a root level file explorer, try going to /cache and deleting any downloadfile.apk files you may see. They may be in /cache/download if that path exists.
If none of that works, you could try reflashing your rom over itself. Just wipe cache/dalvik, not data, and everything should remain as it was unless you've made changes to any system files. And if that doesn't work, I'm all out of ideas.
I am assuming that you've rebooted, but if for some reason you haven't, try that first.

em... now i can't download anything from the market anymore. everytime i choose to download something, it just adds up in the task bar and the downloading never ends. now i have accumulated 18 ongoing downloads even though they are not really downloading anything.
i have a rooted x10 but i cannot find any folder named /cache when browsing using astro file manager.
i don't know how to get into recovery mode to wipe off the cache as you said.
and yes, rebooting was the very first thing i did but it doesn't work...

I'm not sure how to get into recovery on your phone, but I'm sure a quick Google search would yield the answer. You can also try using a cache cleaner app, but it may not solve the problem. If you can get into recovery (again, I'm assuming you're rooted) then go to the "wipe" menu... it may say something else but the word wipe should be there. From there choose to wipe cache & dalvik cache. I think in ClockworkMod that wiping dalvik cache is under "advanced", but I'm not sure if that's your recovery version or if it's even available for your phone.
The only other option would be a factory reset.
Oh, and the /cache directory is on internal memory, not the SD card. Astro is not a root level explorer, so you would need Root Explorer or ES File Explorer.

hi,
i am experiencing the same issues and my phone is not rooted.
i've done the clear cache thing and still the issue persists. the phone also freezes up whereby it does not even register my touch and the screen just blanks out.
any other advice on this please for non-rooted phones??

Hi,
I've just seen this problem on a X10 mini upgraded to android 2.1 update 1.
The solution was to "clear data" and "force stop" for "Download Manager".
IE: go to settings/applications/manage applications, press menu key, select filter and set All, scroll until you find the "Download Manager" entry, select it and then click "clear data" and "force stop"
You can now go to the market and start again any install/upgrade that might have been stuck in the queue before.
Hope it works for you too!

Stupid xperia 10
Okay WTF!, this is the only thread online I found that deals with this problem. Is Sony really that incompetent?.
I've had this problem for a week, I am now upto 35 ongoing downloads. I only had 8 ongoing 3 days ago. I cannot download or install or download and install anything!. This is complete B.S.
I have done everything in this thread and nothing works. Sony still has not e-mailed me back. I am FURIOUS!, WTF is happening!. Why can't I remove these ongoing downloads/updates.
I've done the whole "application manager" B.S. but it won't let me force close my market. I've disabled wi-fi. I am losing my effing mind!.
HAS ANYONE ACTUALLY DEALT WITH AND CORRECTED THIS PROBLEM?. I will give you $5. This is getting retarded.

Oh and FYI "Download manager" does not appear in my list of apps what so ever, and there is no such thing as a "all" tab in my "manage applications" directory.
... Oh great!, I've uninstalled my market but my Icon still appears... Oh look at that the program works "ING! AWESOME!" considering IT DOESN'T EXIST ON MY PHONE ANYMORE! INCLUDING APPLICATION MANAGER! WTF!

Is your phone rooted / what ROM are you using?

Just a correction.. Under All Tabs, find Download manager instead of market place.. Under Download manager, just force stop it. that's it..

THANK YOU! Add me to the list of grateful users as this also worked for me!
I was unable to stop the 'Download Manager' nor 'Downloads' apps, but I cleared cache & data for both, + all of the above for the Google Play Store; removed downloadfile.apk and 2-files from dalvik cache. Notifications stopped !
Then I rebooted. GP-Store (which was already current) indicated they were updating and required my acceptance. Then the store opened normally; I manually download ONE app.
I only download via Wi-fi so Wifi is my emergency panic button.
Thanks again!

thank me if. I helped u guys please im a newbie here
Hey dudes just do as I say during the force download goto settings>applications>manage applications then press menu > filter > all and search for download manager and tap it and force stop it , PROBLEM SOLVED KEEP SMILING , Any way I say xperia always rocks , mail me regarding any doubts

[Q] Google Maps

I want to update the maps via the market but can't I have tried to use the directions from the other posts but to not avail. Can someone help or please explain to me better. I am a noob. Thanks

Which ROM are you running?

miui final v2

The easy way would probably be to use Titanium Backup to wipe data & unistall your current Maps & then get Maps from Market.

Tried that now my market is saying it can not find item when I search for it

You can try this but I don't know if it will error out because the file it's trying to delete isn't there. (As always make a nadroid before you try). Copy the zip to openrecovery/updates, boot into open recovery (volume up while turning on the phone) & apply the update, wipe dalvik & cache partition, reboot. I made this update to remove the "Own here" mod of Maps & install the current market version.

it work thanks

I have the same ROM and the issue; However the suggested fix did not help !
I do not see maps in "My Apps" in Market and I cannot update...

1. clear cache and data from Facebook app, then remove your account
2. reboot into recovery, then mount /data
3. install the attached zip in recovery
4. reboot phone
5. sign in to Facebook again, and it should work
make sure you have your Google contacts synced before doing this

google play just closes

first off i have the HTC wildfire and i put gingerbread onto it, and as soon as i got it on everything worked except that google play wasn't there so i downloaded the .apk of the web but when i click of the app, it opens but it comes up with a box saying
"you must add an account to the device to continue. do you want to add one now?"
and no matter what i click on whether it is yes or no, the application just closes.
any ideas as to what i could do

have you tried deleting data and cache of the play store app? maybe that's all you need to do. afaik there's also another system app that's connected to the play store and which could help if you delete data and cache of it.

Something like this happened to my N7. What I did to fix the problem was go into Settings > Accounts & Sync: Then remove your account, (1*) reboot, then add your Google account with the Accounts & Sync Page.
1*
It might be worth it to wipe the Google play data after you remove your account.
Also, I think that raShMan777 was referring to both Google Play Services, and Google Services Framework. You should try and wipe there data as well.

What gapps baked into the rom that you installed? Make sure that you have the right version. If all else fails, download and reflash gapps before you wipe and reflash the entire rom.

I resolved the problem on my cell by deleting the Play Store's app data with Titanium Backup.

Ported ICS Google Play Error [RPC:S-5:AEC-0]

Hi,
I'm using ported ics with badsouls rom. I get this error when I try to download something on the play store.
when I delete my google account and add it again after a reboot, I can download all the apps again.
But after some hours the error repeats. someone know how to fix the error? Could it be an error because of superchargerv6 and the modified services.jar file?
thank you for your help

What rom are you using?

what is the best solution to install the newer rom without deleting all my apps / settings?

There isn't a way that I know of where you don't need to wipe data. I just use titanium backup to backup all my apps and settings.

Go to settings/account and sync remove your account. then re-add it.. and wait until it sync completely try that and let me know..
you can flash the new rom ontop of the other without wiping.. i recommend wiping cache and delvik

I installed v1.1, but have the same problem.
I even downloaded a new phonesky.apk like suggested in badsouls thread.
After I wipe cache / dalvkit and delete google account, I can download apps short after it.
But after some hours the problem comes back.

wipe
you can wipe data or reFlash rom .

I did already both, but error is still their.

I got NEWMAN N1 , some application were fine to install with Market some others (like Instagam) )I got error (RPC:..)
Finally I solved it by install via Chrom browser.
I don't want to re install account, why to do it ? , gmail is fine... all is fine...
Why google can't fix this LAME error
