App market won't download apps

When I try to download apps it says it was unsuccessful. Regardless of whether it is wi-fi or 3g. First time I've had this problem. Any suggestions?

Try clearing your cache and deleting the .android_secure folder on your sdcard. Might also use a file manager like EStrong's to go into your download folder and delete any download-file.apk files and then reboot, that usually works for me.
Thanks for the info. I tried it but it's still not working. Any other ideas?

Is it possible you deleted the Google Talk app, without downloads never complete.
No, its still there. I already pursued that avenue. I'm totally stumped this one.

Ok....for some reason unknown to me, it started working again.

It's the Market's cache. A lot of Android users had this problem. Clear the Market's cache, reboot and you're all fine.

Under settings> applications do you have unknown sources checked? If not, that is most likely your problem.
Yeah have unknown sources checked, but just will hardly ever install anything. Dont get it
Took me about 50 tries to install angry birds ffs!

Some apps need to be installed via Root Explorer by placing it to some folder.
So why after so many attempts did it work? ??
Also why do some apps insist on only working from the phone memory and not external sd card, is my 64gb card going to be useless?

Dunno, its weird.

Hmmmm, that´s strange...perhaps the update may fix it.
Update?

You should root it, flash a custom rom, remove the unused applications, this will make it a much faster.I'd recommend you flash the Gadgetcheck's RevoHD for Note, its perfect.
Now, when you try to install an application from any other place but market, its normal to not be able to. If you are not rooted you shouldnt be able to as well.
When I try to install an application that I have downloaded from somewhere else I think it requires superuser permissions and I have to go to Settings/Applications/Unknown sources and check it.Doing this might solve your problems.
But cant tell for sure, I'm an owner of S II not note.
Good luck.
I cant root it though

check the Unknown source first
Already done.

That not right, its a installed file, so you have to place it in its original folder. then restart & done
install a custom rom simples also why do you have to install that way there is a thing called the market i have a seeking suspicion that the apps you want to install a pirated we all do it
Hi there... just some ideas and few questions
First off all... is that a new samsung from a store or you bought it from someone else ?
What to try:
- Shutdown the phone
- remove the SD card
- after that boot normaly into the OS
- then go to settings - applications and find the market / play store app
- Click on it, FORCE CLOSE if you can and clear the CACHE
- After that try to install any app.
Tell me whats happening after that all.

Airplayit isnt on the store.
Ive tried all of that, just wont install.
Its a brand new phone and i cant install a cystom rom, it wont root ive tried.

To manually install an app, you'll need root access. Try asking in the q&a forum for your specific device for help with that.
After you've gotten root access (however you do it), copy the .apk to /system/app (you can use a adb, a terminal emulator, or a third party file manager to do this)
Then, change the permissions on the file to so that owner, group, and users all have read and write (but not execute) permissions (that's 644 if you're using chmod)
Here's a link that explains how to manually install an app contained in taskmanager.apk
http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/2012/03/task-manager-for-cm-rom-on-gt-s5570.html
If you read the explanations (after the he steps you through the process) it's easy to apply this same process to any other .apk no matter where it's stored.

Titanium backup wants root but I am??

I am rooted and on pa 2.13 ROM but titanium back up days no. I do have the supetuser app but not the su app. Do I need that? Thought they were the same. Not sure how to get it working. Wanted to back up apps
Thanks

When you open TB it should ask iff superuser should allow this program
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Try rebooting. Worked for me
You may have to go into Superuser and clear your history of allowed apps. If you accidentally hit deny (or hit back when the Superuser request box came up), TB won't be able to get root access and won't work.
make sure busybox is installed.

This happened to me when the Rom I was installing failed to set the correct permissions on superuser. Download the flashible zip for superuser and flash it in cwm...if that fixed it, you are made in the shade!

you may also want to update binaries, and just clear cache for TB and SU
In addition to all the above helpful comments....Make sure you also go into Developer Options and select "USB Debugging" and also under Security...select "Unknown Sources". That usually causes issues when trying to run TB also.
There's an app called Root Checker which will check your root status. It's free. The paid version, Root Check Pro, also checks for busybox.
Both on Play Store.

All suggestions are correct above plus:Wipe data for titanium in the applications area under settings, this happens to me every so often when changing rom's. Sometimes uninstalling and reinstalling will fix it too. Make sure su is fully updated as well.

My HTC VilleC2 was unlocked bootloader, using rom cook JB 4.1 and has flashed SuperSU.zip. But when I use Titanium Backup to uninstall a few apps aren't used in the system such as Google+, Stock, FriendStream, ... it's ok, but when I restarting the phone everything returns to original, the apps wasn't uninstall. But some apps I don't uninstall that only Freeze then when I reboot the phone, it's fine, it's still frozen. I also use Root Explorer to delete some audio files in Notification, Ringtone, Alarm directories... but when I rebooting the phone, everything back to original. Does anyone know what that is the cause? Pls help!!!

[Q] Can't uninstall apps. CleanRom Seven

I have been trying to uninstall a couple of old apps I don't use anymore, but am having troubles. I am using the newest version of CleanRom. When I try to uninstall using application manager, play store, or titanium backup the system just hangs like it's trying to uninstall, but with no progress. I also tried using adb to uninstall an app using a terminal emulator and was having the same problems. Any one else seen this or know a way to successfully uninstall an app?
Thanks in advance.

I'd suggest booting into recovery and wiping both caches then try again after it loads. Next, dirty flash the rom without wiping anything and see if you can uninstall apps.
Clearing the caches did not work. I'll have to try a dirty install in the morning. Well let you know. Thanks.

Try using a root explorer and delete them manually. Titanium backup will tell you where they are located
