[Q] Nexus S + CM7 - failed DL and Market

Hi, have 2 new Samsung nexus S (for myself and my wife), trying to install on both the CM7 after everything formated and cleaned and for the 3rd time after awhile of working (few minutes) the download from anywhere is failing - in the market every download sends an error that media process is failing and then the download is stuck (happening also in any download).
Totally weird since I've tried all of the clearance, format, SD card options and phone configurations. could be i have 2 faulty Nexus S? any one knows this error?
Thanks!

go to the main settings, application settings, manage application, all, market, press uninstall update, and press clear data/cache. did that help?

have you tried fixing permissions? in the terminal app on your phone(included in cm) type...
su(press enter)
fix_permissions(press enter)
also, if you have root explorer, delete the app files in /cache/download/

yeap, have been there, wiped also all cache

wiping cache doesnt wipe this. you got to manually delete those files if they are in that folder.

also..
go to main settings, applications, manage applications, all, download manager, clear data/cache.

yes i know i've just mentioned what i did so far... seems like an hardware error but it is happening on 2 devices!, all downloads are failing, many programs error and sounds are not there when trying to chose rings / sms

stupid question.. have you tried redownloading the rom and gapps, then flashing them again?

yes
for 3 time. installing CM7, then GAPPS, then switching to Hebrew, working with the device for awhile then its beginning...
i'll try to track the things i do now to see what can cause it.

I think the problem could be compatibility, just found that my devices are I9023 model and not the I9020 that probably the roms are built on..

When booting into bootloader i see device id is I9020 while it should be I9023 as i see in the back of my my device (behind the battery) could be that causing problems?

[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!

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!

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

Like R2 mentioned, a factory data reset might be helpful. You'll lose installed apps, you'll have to re-setup your Google account stuff, you'll lose phone logs, memos, and IMs. Someone else jump in here if I left something out.

Yes, go back and reflash drhonk's KD1, but make sure you have the mounts right before you do.
- Boot into CWM recovery
- Go into "mounts and storage"
- unmount /cache
- mount /data
- mount /sdcard
- unmount /system
- Go back
- Go into "install zip from sdcard"
- Go into "Choose zip from sdcard"
- find where you downloaded drhonk's KD1, and flash it.

thanx stephen...worked. I have my root back, but I still cannot install any apps at all!!!! They will download then i'll click install, the instalation loadeer comes up, but then it has an orangetriangle with an exlamation point in it and it says application not installed.

Did you try what Raver said? Setting, manage all apps, force close the market, clear data and reopen. I was hanging a problem downloading apps and I ended up having to delete the market and push another Vending.apk file.

I did to no avail
The ausiophile FTW, was giving me issues, I couldn't reboot into recovery, and i'm a freak for change anywat, so I installed GB-2.3.5-Octane-V2.x

Did you change your screen density from the stock 240? This will give you the same issue.

[Q] Multiple "Unfortunately XXXX has stopped" issues

Hi there! I'm running a 'vanila' ICS 4.0.4 Nexus S. After the last reboot i'm having multiple pop-ups about applications that were forced to stop. Literally all system apps (Contacts, Messaging, Market etc), Google apps were forced to close. Phone doesn't rings and so on.
Most sad fact is that i can't even manage to install any program for backing up the phone and make a factory reset.
What can I do now?
Any help is much appreciated
Thanks in advance

try this first: go to cwm, choose fix permissions, and see if it works. if not, you can do this: do a nandroid backup with cwm, then, factory reset everything. cache, data EVERYTHING. install any rom of your choice, then, download the titanium backup app, and you can extract app and data from the nandroid backup using titanium. never tested this my self since i backup everything before flashing and clear all data, so app crashes.
hope this helps and please hit the thanks button of you find this helpful!

Oh, I see. You must have installed the update from 2.3 without wiping. Or something like that. Based on my knowledge, the best things you can do are:
1. Wipe/factory reset then reboot.
Or
Root your phone. Which wipes everything including the SD card partition. You can back up the SD card easy. I suggest the latter. So you can flash custom recovery images and do lots more than 'clean' ICS. One more thing, unrooted and unmodified is technically called stock. You will see this word a lot of times. Hope this helps.

I had similar conditions, I thought it was kernel/rom problem. and now it seems not!
I fix it this way: go into CWM recovery, backup, and then immediately restore. and the problem is gone. I know it sounds crazy, but it really works for me... every time.

And also, try clear data of the apps that had been crashing, go to its app info and click clear data. See if this solves the problem.

ok guys, thanks for the help. but i'm thinking of the other way around
can i copy stock ICS 4.0.4 fw file on to internal storage and try to update the phone from HBOOT menu (the one called up with holding 'volume up' key)?
the thing is i have some info on the phone such as sms that i'd like to keep
or perhaps copy whole 'content' of the storage to my pc and move sms base or whatever back after factory reset?
is there a way to access internal storage while in HBOOT menu, cos in the loaded up state i can't copy fw file due to crashing system apps?

I suspect the SMS are stored in the system partition... Google it. If it is, again, you need root to access those files.
