[Q] "Attention Required. Press Here" during updating Apps from Marketplace

Dear All,
I am having a prob for the past week or so. This happened after the marketplace in my phone was updated (my marketplace search bar shows Applications and Games Search now. The music search is gone.).
The problem is that whenever any of my apps have an update, I click on Update All and then instead of downloading the new updates, all the Apps show "Attention required. Press Here".
1. I pressed and retried. Didn't work.
2. I long pressed and retried, that didn't work either.
3. I long pressed and deleted the update, and tried updating again and that didn't help.
4. Restarting phone was of no use either.
Can anyone please help me with this? The only way I update now is delete the app altogether and re download the app. This is quite annoying as I lose the settings on some apps and have to enter them again.
I am using a T-Mobile UK unlocked Samsung Omnia 7 with the NoDo update.
Thanks!

And for future reference and search:
Why do I get an "Attention required. Tap here." message when I try to download an app or game?
Your phone might have temporarily lost its Internet connection, or you might be trying to download an app that's too big to download over your phone's cellular data connection. If you're trying to download an app larger than 20 megabytes, you'll need to connect to a Wi-Fi network, or connect the phone to your PC and use the Zune software.

Cheers. I did search before a few times and did not find what I was looking for. Thats why I posted here to hopefully find some answers. Thanks again.

I have read all that before plenty of times and none of the solutions have worked for me. It doesnt work over wifi and the apps I download are all less than 1mb. Moreover, I know that anything greater than 20mb required me to download through Zune connection. My phone software is also up to date.
So back to square 1 for me.....

just wait.. it is a temprary problem..

Ok. Will wait for a fix....

Where it says "Pending" did you try holding your finger there and hit retry? (After you established a wifi connection)
It won't auto download it till you do.

No I haven't. But will definitely give that a try next time.

I am actually having the same issues sometimes in UK Marketplace. However, after a while, they "mysteriously" go away and I can download.
Which makes me think it's either a temporary issue on the server or something like that.
In other cases, it worked when I switched 3G off, but I think that's more of a network provider problem.

Know what im talking about
Hi Guys,
ive had this issue when NoDo first came out, i updated to NoDo with the ROMS on here and was still receiving same message for any application i was reqesting from Marketplace, i rolled back from NoDo and my markeplace worked again. so i tried few things different by installing different roms and updating and so on, and still got the same issue when the final update was NoDo.
one thing i did notice was that my app would install over 3G but not over wifi which was the strange part, and 3G is extremely expensive when you downloading games and large apps so that definitly was not an option for me.
i am still using the latest release just before NoDo, because of this issue and i hope some smarty can figure it out or Microsoft release a fix for this soon.
ive scavaged the internet and found zip info that helps ! others tried methods that worked for them but none work for me.
btw i have HTC Mozart and in South Africa

[Q] Mango Email Server Search

Hi guys, I noticed that if you search for emails on the server from your gmail on windows phone mango, it gives you an option to search on the server. But when I click it, it gives me an error saying that it wasnt able to connect to the network. I've tried this all day with lots of signal, but it keeps giving me the same error. Anyone notice this problem/a solution? Do I have to enable it somewhere?

Same here.

Works fine for exchange servers. I think it's just not fully implemented for other services than exchange.

Doesn't work with google apps, which works just like exchange. :'(

[Q] Marketplace c101a247 error?

Hi all,
So ever since I've had my phone I've had problems with the marketplace.
Yesterday I managed to get my Mozart to Mango 7720 unlocked and now it's starting to bother me.
Previously I use to get a message saying marketplace is not available in my country/region (I live in South Africa) now since the Mango update I can browse fine but when I try update or install an application I don't have I get the c101a247 error. Been happening since last night.
IE cookies are enabled, makes no difference whether the GPS is active or not and no difference whether I use WiFi or my cellular data connection I get the same error.
Anyone know why I'm getting this error and how to get it fixed so I can use the marketplace?
Thanks

*bump*
Anyone at all? Any ideas or suggestions?

Go to mobile phone settings and under region + language put united states and try to install the app.
Also try to login and logout from zune.net from your computer.

Hey schizo, tried that and still nothing.
Its really getting annoying now!

Hi, I had same problem on my HTC Trophy with NoDo. Creating a new Windows Live account and replacing the primary one with it solved the problem. (Of course I've chosen United States as my location when creating the account). Unfortunately to change your primary WL account you need to restore to factory defaults.
I've started my experience with WP7 just yesterday and I am a noob, nut I hope this will help you as well.

Ok, thanks. Quick question (bit off topic). If I reset to factory settings will I need to re-unlock my phone?
Thanks

So quite a thread revival...
I would like to avoid having to factory reset my phone, but think I may need to - so will probably get a new rom and just flash it as I am on an oold Mango ROM.
I am still having the above issue, was getting the .xaps and then just deploying them but now that they are all encrypted I can no longer do that and my marketplace still does not work.
It is going to be really annoying having to scrap my original Windows Live account I have had since around 2006/2007 just because of this - although if its the only way I guess I will have to. Just cannot use MSN on my phone then (I ain't re-adding all my contacts).
Any ideas before I reflash my phone and create a new Windows Live account?
Thanks

Weird HD7 Problem

I recently change wireless carriers here in Australia from Optus to TPG which in fact share the exact same network. Optus renting out bandwidth to TPG. A few days into changing over i noticed that i was intermittently able to message my girlfriend and only my girlfriend.
When i was unable to message i would get the upside down smile face and the try again message in the messaging hub even when she was standing right next to me with her phone. I then would test it messaging my dad on the same network and my mum on a different network and it worked perfectly both ways. I have noticed that if i get her to message me sometimes it allows me to message her again successfully.
So last night i got fed up, delete her contact from window live re added it then did a hardware restart. When the restart i could not get my Data connection to work at all and I noticed this first of when originally logging into windows live. I then notice in the Market place I was missing HTC apps, and Music, I did another hard reset and Music Shows up but when I clicked on it then I clicked the link to get unlimited music which logs into my Zune account, the music button disappeared from the market place again and still not HTC apps.
I did another hard reset and then i got only had Apps and Games option in market place, no music or HTC apps. I turned my phone on and off and then i got this. http://i43.tinypic.com/1op1l1.jpg
To get rid of it i had to pull the battery but it worked fine after, i then did a soft reset and got HTC, MUSIC back in the market place but i was unable to download the connection manger as i got an error. I wake up this morning and my data connection is working so its possible the network is down or my phone is honestly a broken. Any help would be great.

i think the sms problem is your carrier problem, and, the red-green-blue screen is the spl mode, a place where you can flash your phone (not anymore for bootloader 5.x, you need a goldcard to do that). you'd better goto htc service center to not to risk your device.

I'm in a similar situation. Using a tmous hd7 on simple mobile. When I first start my phone fresh, data doesn't work so I skip live sign-in. Then I go all the way to the main screen then connect to my WiFi network. After that sign into your live acount. Wait a minute or two for HTC apps to show in marketplace. Next download and install HTC connection setup. After install open app and at the bottom tap the "..." and tap manual select. Wait a few seconds and select your carrier from the list.
Works fine for me everytime. Sometime HTC apps don't show right up in marketplace after I sign into my live account bit it will.

Possible malware infection/network attack while using Facebook app

The night of the 17th, I was using the Facebook app while suddenly a download in progress icon appeared in the status bar. I pulled down the notifications screen just in time to catch a glimpse of the word "attackers" followed by a bunch of symbols like $ before it disappeared. I could not find anything in the downloads folder list, ESET premium that was monitoring my phone and all downloads hadn't even detected it, and I tried in vain to search online using only the selected phrases I had managed to glimpse.
Then by sheer luck, today, I managed to find a thread on this problem with the full details. The message had been "attackers on <b>%1$s</b> might atte..." with a download in progress while using Facebook app. Which I assume is completed as "might attempt to steal your information" or something.
I tried using this phrase to search about it on Google, and while nothing specific to this problem came up, a list of generic information results on various types of network attacks, DDos, man in the middle and zero day attacks came up, which has me really worried.
I am still using the phone as is, I really don't know much about technology related things. Please advise me what I should do now, if I should just turn off the phone or something. The person in the other thread said he had reset his phone and the problem had reappeared when he had signed into Facebook again, so now I'm not sure if a simple factory reset will help and I will probably need to install a custom ROM or something.
I'm using Android 7.0 in a Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime. I got a software update to Oreo just an hour earlier and I wonder if updating the software will help remove whatever malware/spyware/hacking application got installed.
Please help, I am logged into all my accounts through this phone and it's already been like 4 days since the message first appeared damage control is needed.
Thank you very much. If you know anything, anything, please let me know it's very urgent.

sounds like the warning message chrome gives. The <b>%1$s</b> is variable for the website name.

found a couple of other mentions of this
see image in following thread, seems like download manager shows warning so must be Facebook downloading something from a suspect url as you say it happens using Facebook. I don't use Facebook app, you say it downloaded something by itself, without you initialising, seems dodgy, but it's a monster app as I recall, must be even bigger white more permission these days!
