Re-posting because I might have a security problem on my phone. I can't post in the Android Q&A because I'm a newb..so
VZW Droid Incredible 2. Stock rom. Rooted. Tried to download a short artistic video from an app I got off of Snappz (not sure if the video is going to internal storage or SD.) Anyways, thing keeps saying 'download unsuccessful.' I don't care about the download anymore. It won't stop trying to download this video. I've tried a reboot, I force stopped the process that I got the artistic video from. Out of ideas. Tried searching google and XDA. No luck. How do I stop this thing?
Install astro file manager, go into preferences/ scroll down a bit and check the box to enable browser download.
Then try to download your files.
Samsung Galaxy SIII (SPH-L710)
Tried to quote but the xda app is giving me some invalid thread id error. Anyways, I did the above...aaaand it's still trying to download this video and stating 'download unsuccessful.' Again though, I don't care about the download. I want it to stop trying to download itself without success. Make it stop! I need an adult!

Why can't I find Go Launcher EX on any market?
I had it on my phone a week ago, flashed new ROM, now I can't find it for download everywhere. All I can find in market searching Go dev team apps is themes and their other applications. Tried google, tried multiple QR codes, multiple download links. They are all down, or file could not be found.. the ***k.
Anyone have some insight to this?
I litetally just updated gl from the market. It was there. Lemme check again.
I just installed it last night from the market.
Just checked. And i couldnt find it. Strange. Maybe in middle of updating or something. Keep checkin for a few.
Still could not find it in market. Downloaded version like 2.18 apk that i had jump through effing hoops to get, and as soon as it installed i got update from market for it. Now im running latest. Did a search for it again, still can't see it in the market and all QR codes are still dead ends.
How do you attach .apk on this forum? Is it even possible from the mobile app?
Don't know if its possible from mobil app. But i searched go launcher and finally found a direct link that didnt make you download a text file to tell you where to go download.
Then once installed it told me I could update from market.
I just downloaded it sunday and it had an update today.
Go launcher has its own thread in the main Android section. Please use threads that are already present before opening a new thread.

Hello, I have an htc Evo 4G and running CyanogenMod. A few weeks ago I was unable to download SOME Apps from the Android market.... So I started reading some posts about people having the same issue... Someone said that the solution was to delete the cache from the download manager, market, and market updater. After I did this.. im now unable to download ANY app from the market, not even Install from the Sd Card. I just see the download arrow for less than a second and it disappears. I go back to the market... and the progress bar says downloading and it stays there , nothing happens.
Is there a fix, do i need to take my phone to get flash again...
help please
Try down-grading to previous version of Market by removing update and using Titanium. Check the CM7 Nightly thread on Inc S
Hi,
had a similar problem on HD2 with a different CM Build of course.
After reboot the download started automatically again and application has been installed. Since then market downloads were working fine.
WHY? - Who knows, but not me.... ;-)
Probably this will help to solve your problem.
But first try out the downgrade of market App recommended by "ashishling".

I've had a similar issue before on my My Touch 3G Slide. After some research I found that Google Talk is some how linked to the Market. Try opening that app on your network first, making sure it signs in with your account. Then try downloading your apps from the market. This has worked for me every time I ran into that issue.
Hello,
Post rooting (repenting it already) my Samsung Galaxy S Plus (GTI9001), I am unable to install any apps via Play Store. I am able to install apk's from the SD Card though. I un-rooted the phone but problem persist.
When I try to install any app, I can see the app being downloaded on the notification but the moment the download completes nothing happens. When i go to Play Store > My Apps I could see that it still says downloading though the app is fully downloaded. I guess some permission issues here. Please help.
I have already cleared Play Store cache and tried.

Hello,
Which Rom do you use? Maybe you have to root it again. Usually you can fix permissions in CWM. Have you tried to restart after "Download is finished". For Me it was working on my Asus EeePad.

Chris, I am still on stock ROM and I am not likely to go for a custom ROM since there are not much good ROM's available for Samsung Galaxy S Plus and Yes I tried multiple reboots. After reboot, on the notification it says that app download failed due to some error with a number.
Thanks for your reply.
Same issue
Reyolin,
I have had the same problem on my Samsung Galaxy S Plus but it has only started today. Mine has been rooted for about 5 months now, since I first got it.
I did a search using EStrong File explorer and it found a file called "downloadfile.apk" in /cache (I assume this is the file as it is the same file size as stated in the Play store. However, when I tried to run or copy it it had disappeared.
It's almost like the APK is being downloaded and then being deleted before installation actually occurs.
I think rooting your phone and the inability to install apps is just coincidental.
I will do some more playing about and see what I can find (I also already tried removing the Google Play updates (to go back to the old style Market). This still did not solve the problem.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions &

Exactly same proble
Hi,
I have exaclty the same problem (galaxy s plus), rooted 5 month ago and problem started 2 days ago...
I updated superuser at that time and tried to update the su binarie but it fails on validation of new su and stopped (not replacing old su), this is the only thing I can remember of. root is still working with old su. Maybe the cleaning needs to be done ?
Has someone found a way to fix this?
edit:
after some investigation, this is what happens:
if I try to install one app from play store, it is downloaded correctly and then nothing happens.
the file downloaded is in /cache/downloadfile.apk
If I copy this file to /sdcard/external_sd/downloadfile.apk and run it manually it installs correctly.

galaxy s plus specific issue
i am having the same problem since morning and i also use Samsung galaxy s plus, so certainly the issue is phone specific.
Good news! Problem solved for me
Hi,
I contacted google play support and her was there answer:
Thanks for contacting us and I am sorry for the delay in responding.
We've gotten some reports that users with Samsung Galaxy S Plus devices running Android OS version 2.3 (Gingerbread) are having trouble using Google Play. We're aware of this issue and to solve it we recommend you to uninstall updates to the Google Play app by following these steps:
1. Tap Menu > Settings > Applications > Manage applications
2. Find the "All" tab
3. Scroll down to Play Store and tap to select
4. Tap "Uninstall updates"
Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.
So I followed this and it works again!
Here are the steps after doing google recommendations:
- click google play icon, it will open old google market
- install an application, for me it worked again!
- exit google market
- click again the google play icon, it will ask to accept google play license
- click yes and then try to install another app, it worked again!
Hope this will solve also your issues,
Stef
I Just had the same problem. Here is how I fixed it,
- Uninstalled updates for Google Play
- I added a New Google Account.
- I Then signed into the new Google Account, Then Sign Into Your Main Account
And "BOOM" problem solved.

Hi, I'm having a problem with my updates in Aptoide. I give update and says "Error apk Not Found"

only chrome, maelstrom and opera browser are supported.

"Download unsuccsessful" - error message from some browser on some XDA download links
Hello there!
Firstly i wanna say sorry if this was already solved, but i've been looking litterally everywhere on the web and couldn't find ANY solution to my specific problem, nor anyone who had the same issue.
The problem is a "download unsuccessful" error given when i try to download from this link:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3890995&d=1475259527
This is the page where the link is:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/general/mod-google-keyboard-unicode-9-10-emojis-t3348544
The error is not on every browser, but just on some of 'em:
Chrome: works
Opera: works
Furefox: works
Samsung Internet Beta: doesn't
Via Browser: doesn't
Before having encountered this issue, i just wanted to try out the new Samsung browser, and eventually decided to dump Chrome for the latter. I did a few compatibility test to check if everything was alright, but that link (as another one in the same page and, likely, many others around) didn't want to work. Other links actually do.
I tried all the solutions i found online:
-uninstalling Chrome and wipe Samsung Internet cache
-wipe Download Manager cache, then force close it
-messing around with all the settings, permissions etc
Now, i went back to the laggy Chrome and end of the story. But i'm still really curious to know why this happens, why with some specific links and why only on some browsers.
Thanks for the help

Maybe because you need to go into system settings>apps>name of.apk, then open it's permission settings, make sure it has permissions to access storage.

I wish it was that easy. I gave all the permissions needed. That's not the issue for sure.
