Not sure about the game data, but to download any file within the browser, try "download all files" from market

[Q] Unable to install apps from Play Store

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.

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.

[Q] Can't download files over wifi

I seem to be unable to download files over the internet with my TF300.
I can download OK from Google Play and via torrent clients, but not from download sites (eg DepositFiles, Oron).
When I try to download a file from a website I get a "waiting for data connection" message in the Download Manager window. The download eventually times out.
I have "allow installation of non-Market apps" checked.
I have root but no ROMs.
Build is .30; ICS 4.0.3.
I have tried stock browser, ICS Browser+ and Maxthon.
I have tried clearing cache.
Anyone have a solution please?
Grateful for any advice.
regards

Try dolphin mini

Thanks R3Z4545. Installing Dolphin Mini now allows me to download from Megashare sites (but not others - no idea what makes that site so special).
Does success with Dolphin Mini indicate the issue relates to caching maybe?
I'm also thinking the culprit may be the adfree app I installed after rooting. I might tinker with that and report back after work.
regards

Adfree will prevent downloads from sites that use advertising like adfly.

Hey try downloading "download all files" and adobe reader.....i had that problem and this always helps.

Download all files doesn't seem to work on the websites I need it to. Thanks for the tip though. It will still come in handy.
And it seems Adfree wasn't the culprit after all. Uninstalling it has made no difference.
Apart from doing a factory reset, or making do with Dolphin Mini (which at least allows me to download sometimes), I'm out of ideas.
Thanks all for assist.

[Q] Android 4.1.1 - Can't find APP

EDIT:
Never mind. After I rebooted the A700, I was able to download them. Strange things happen at times!!!
I am trying to download FireFox from the PlayStore and it says that FireFox is already installed. I cannot find the FireFox app for the life of me. I have searched in APPS, Settings (Downloaded/Running etc.) and it does not show up. I have the same problem with ES File Explorer. To my knowledge I have not previously downloaded them so I don't understand why the store would show them as installed and I cannot find them.
Obviously I would like to either find them and put them on my main screen or delete them and re-download them again.
Thanks for any input.

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

try this one Tampermonkey script which allows you to download apk and obb directly to pc.
only chrome, maelstrom and opera browser are supported.
https://openuserjs.org/scripts/FaizanAnwerAli/Aptoide_APK_and_OBB_Online_Downloader

Aptiode is NOT allowed!
It is considerd warez!
Havent you all read the forum rules?!
