Need help - Constant "Download Unsuccessful" when downloading from market - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

It started out when I updated my custom ROM to a newer version. After the first boot (after a full wipe, too), my apps weren't restored. I went to the Android market to try to download the missing apps and I kept getting an error: "Download of 'app name' was unsuccessful". I did a couple more full wipes and nothing, so I found another custom ROM, did a full wipe and installed and I still have the same problem.
I tried to Google some fixes for the problem but none worked. I tried clearing the cache and data for the market, update manager and Google Talk manager and got nothing. I unmounted my SD card, turned off my phone, removed the SD card and put it all back and nothing happened. I really don't know what to do now.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
EDIT: I fixed it. Turns out I had a bad radio. Flashed a new one and it's back to normal.

android.process.media stopped

I started with a new g tablet when I turned it on it wanted to do a update. I did not do the update from viewsonic. Then I loaded cwmod then then VEGAn-GE-7.0.0-RC1-Harmony-signed.zip. All went well start unit and I was able to goto and download from the market with no issues even downloade new flash from the market and worked very well. When I was useing it the market started to force shut down when I went to install app. it progessed to do force shutdowns.
So I did the proper sd partions reinstall vegan still same cant even get passed the google sign in in the begining. I then downloaded and load the tablet back to stock with cwmod when in the stock mode I did get force shutdown when I would mount the usb but that was the only time. Now I started over with cwmod then vegan still samething. Any thoughts would be great thanks.
update
I did some more reading and decided to do the fix priorites it seams to work so I did the google market fix deleating in maret and google then got the error rebooted now google market dose not open . I will have to do some reading on this. Any pointers
try this Settings>Applications>Manage>All> find Media Storage and then Clear Data... and reboot
update . So far so good I did a total restore useing NVFlash. Then when it booted up it wanted to do a ota update so I let it do it this time. I then reload vegan with all the clockworks then wiped data, cahe and fix priorites.
this works for me...happens once in a while...i'm surprised its not known more widely..many people seem to do a complete wipe to get ride of it
from another post:
I noticed at least two people in this thread have had this problem. The following worked for me... At one point I started getting this error also. Driving me crazy! Could not bring up the keyboard, and the message would pop like every 5 seconds. I searched and found this post (thanks and credit to KinkyMunkey):
process com.android.acore FC and how i fixed it
I didn't want to wipe data, so I tried it. I couldn't use ES File Explorer for this, but Root Explorer worked great!
The problem is a corrupt contacts sqlite database. As the referenced post says, you'll be able to tell if thats the problem when there is a .db-journal file in the folder. The folder is /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases/ *Note* this is not the data folder in sdcard, but the data folder in root (/).
Just delete the databases folder in /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts and restart. The contacts database will be rebuilt and re-synced.
This has worked for me twice (thank goodness). I don't know what causes the contacts DB to get messed up... it wasn't a drained battery for me.

Worked great! Thanks!
thanks gpzjack
It was a different database file for me but it solved it. The only thing is that a week later it happened again. This seems to fix it. But does anyone know the cause of the corruped database so we can stop it from happening?

[Q] facebook for android an error occurred while loading the page

I have S2 and tried almost all Stock and Custom ROMs from scratch but getting "An error occurred while loading the page" . First time after installing the app when I login it works properly but when I close and open again 2nd time it popups application page two times then blank page and this error appears. I tried all options even different facebook accounts but same problem. Currently I am using stock 2.3.5 but still problem is there even though everything is up to date. What can be the issue? Please help.
I get the same problem. It's been a month already.
This has rendered my facebook app completely useless.
Even now wit the 1.7.2 update released today, it's still the same.
I emailed facebook support 2 weeks ago with no answer.
SGS @ 2.3.4 XXJVR rooted
Help please

Did you guys restore app+data for facebook app while switching between ROMS? This has created problem for many users.
Restore only app using titanium after flashing a new ROM.
Also, try clearing data of facebook app.
I didn't restore anything. I started from zero again after flash. I'm on a stock rom.
I did clear data and cache
Also uninstalled, restart, reinstall. Nothing helped

Same here with Galaxy S. For the first time in almost 15 months of use and many many stock ROMs. It was working great; next minute it wasn't. Unexplainable.
Yeah, I tried different accounts, different connections (both 3G and WiFi), reboot, clear data and cache, etc...
anybody solved this ??
I have same problem on wildfire s with different roms.. also cleared cash, all apps installed from scratch and only fb doesn't load any page from menu.. it syncs contacts and show me notifications but when i go in the app - "An error occurred while loading this page" .
I tried older version of app ( it was pre installed in EQDKP 4.6 ROM ) and updated with same results.
This version seams to work . It's crap but it works..

[SOLVED] [Q] Market Broken

Hey Guys,
It's the age old problem that I can't seem to solve this time. Because the the awesomeness of the 10c apps, I wanted to buy a bunch today. I'm now stuck at "starting download...", but it seems to affect the paid apps only. I've tried clearing the cache from CWM and the market to no avail.
Phone: Nexus One
ROM: Latest CM7 nightly
SD-EXT: 1GB
It's been working fine for a long time until just now. Randomly one of the applications decided to download and install (Jelly Defense), but my other ones are still stuck.
EDIT:
SOLVED: This time I did the same thing, cleared the cache from CWM, and from the market, but I also cleared the dalvik cache and that did the trick.
I'm getting the same problem when trying to buy any of the $0.10 apps as well, or with any paid app right now.
The error I'm getting is just "Error: Could not process your order, try again later." when using the browser-based market from my PC. Similar error when trying to purchase through my phone.
I have even tried changing my payment method from CC to "bill my carrier account", to no avail.
EDIT: just saw your Edit, I will try that now.

I've just purchased transformer prime, tryed to upgrade to ICS, then it started to download the update, but I needed to turn off the unit before it finish to download.
then, later I tryed again, but now I keep getting the error message:

No, but powering off during an update on any device is a no-no. At best nothing happens, at worst (consider this the more likely path) you corrupt your OS and will need to restore from a backup (not possible ATM) or reformat (manually reinstall your current update)
http://support.asus.com/download.as...sformer+Prime+TF201&hashedid=FqCKMQDqgvSncfFM
Again, never power off during an update (or any file reading/writing), this is a sure-fired way to corrupt system and personal files.
Thanks!
I didn't think that shutting it down while it's just downloading the file will cause any damage... I tought it will just cancel the download and the update...
anyway, I manually installed the latest 4.0.3 version from the web site (via sd card) then wipe and all is good.
Well, far as I know just downloading should have been fine, no clue what happened there.
Glad you got it worked out though!
P.s. I feel idiotic for not saying so in my first response, but of course installing from SD card fully formats the device and wipes out all information on the internal SD. Back up what you can regularly to an external SD/mSD
It didn't wipe automatically (I still had my apps and google account), but I still had "DMClient stopped working" problems after the installation, so I wiped manually and it's good now. I'm not sure about the internal SD, I didn't have anything on it.
I have had the same issue, but the error occured right out of the box... trying to fix now

[Q] In desperate need of help!

So I totally jacked up my phone and I don't know what else to do. I have the Galaxy S3 tmobile (sgh-t999). I had rooted it over a year ago and everything was fine until today. I had used Odin and set up the clockworkmod... rom... thing. Of course now I doubt I even did that correctly, maybe I'm just in over my head...anywho...
I was trying to transfer some files from my pc to the phone. (kies air never worked for me) Well, I had plugged in my phone and in windows explorer it showed something along the lines of 'samsung mtp phone' when I opened it up only 2 folders showed... media and data. The data folder looked like the list of files/folders I would see when I'm in the file manager on the phone but everything listed were showing ad unknown file types. No option to open anything up. The media folder was the same but only listed my pictures and music.
Well, i had rebooted phone and computer, reinstalled usb drivers, same result. So I guessed that maybe my rom version was outdated or something. No luck on figuring out how to update, so I had the briliant (sarcasm) idea to try a different rom. Long story short on that mess, the new rom didn't improve anything with help of transferring files from pc. Then I decided maybe factory reset would fix the issue.
Here comes more ignorance on my part, apparently the new mod I put in was removed but the original stayed. Fine whatever. Here's where my phone it jacked up...
First off, I don't have my notification bar (I've checked in every setting menu, no avail)
I am also missing my web browser (tried downloading from play store which leads to next issue)
I cannot download anything from the play store, I click on install and nothing happens, no error message, nothing (I had attempted to download the .apk file for google chrome and move it onto my phone via memory card but when I click on it to install it says 'unable to find application to perform this action')
Now trust me, I have tried clearing cache, clearing data, app permissions, force stop, uninstall updates and I've done a factory reset 5 times. I apologize for the long post, but I just want to give all the info I can and hope to no end that I can get my phone functional again. What else can I do??
wow such a long letter
ok let me think about it
and tell about it soon as possible
Update....
I got the idea to flash the stock rom back onto the phone. After I flashed it and did another factory reset, I have been able to get my phone functional again. Everything is working fine. Even the phone doesn't know it had been rooted. Currently I am getting everything updated while it is still stock, I'll then just root it to get rid of the bloatware... no more tinkering.
