I have searched and tried Download all and easy downloader. I have switched Roms twice hoping to fix but i always get the download successful error when trying to download from browser. I tried opera mini and i have the unknown sources checked. they all tell me not enough memory. New Rom install gives me ample memory and 16g memory card only has 2g used.(settings tell me) i have mounted and amounted the card. My comp is down so i can't download new Roms that way and can't back up sd card to format it. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Ghetto
Not sure if this will help but I've run into that problem a couple of times when downloading a ROM update using ICS browser+. I don't remember which but I then used chrome to download and downloaded just fine. I believe I had to use wifi.
Ok that didn't work. Arggg. i tried on my gs2 as well and can't seem to download any Roms or apks. Will let me dl market stuff attachments from emails photos off websites and even an mp3 off internet. What the heck.
I use dolphin browsers to dl any thing straight to phone....
So tried Dolphin and no go butt formatted USB Storage and now it works.
Hits self Thanks button.

So, I've been unable to find any threads on this so I don't know if this is a common problem or not. My phone is rooted but I'm not quite sure if I'm using a mod, if I am it's a clockwork mod or something, I honestly don't remember what I used to mod it cause it was months ago. Anyways, I'm having problems downloading certain applications from the Google Store. It downloads it then when it's about to install it gives me an Error saying, "Couldn't install on USB storage or SD card" and it only does this with certain apps, I'm able to download and install or update a lot of applications but it only does this to certain apps, I've tried turning my phone on and off, that does nothing, I would turn off my phone and take everything out but I'm not quite sure if that would work either.
I was wondering if there's a solution to this because I'm trying to download a new theme for my GO Launcher EX and it keeps telling me I cannot download it, it's done it to games that I've had before too, it's really weird.
Glad to know that none of you can help me.

Try creating the symlink for cache\download folder on your system partition
How might I do that?

I remember having this issue since ICS and on multiple devices running different ROMs.
What gives? I know the solution is to clear out the Download history and it still works. Just annoying that I have to do that... Does Google know about this issue??
You can also try using a browser like Opera, that helps me. But yeah it really is annoying it also happens to me both on GB and ICS

To be able to download certain files, you must first have an application that can run the file. If you don't have the ablity to run the file it will refuse to download, giving the download unsuccessful message.
What you say may be true. But the files I download are definitely openable. Yet they still don't download successfully until after multiple attempts or clearing the cache.

Hello everyone -- First post
I don't know if this will help, but i tell you what i experienced yesterday. I have both a HP Touchpad 32GB Wifi only and a Samsung Fascinate. I have the problem with both of them for months now. I can install anything i want from Google Play, but can not down load any other files, both from emails and websites. I can write to it with Window XP Pro machine.
Two days ago i was messing around with my Touchpad dual boot WebOS/CM7 and wreck it. Wouldn't reboot, couldn't run WebOS doctor on it or any thing. I thought it was bricked. Then i ran across a forum how to delete the volume manually and recreate them. Then install back to factory original.
Last night i got it back to 3.0.5 and installed CM9 tenderloin nightly 20121028 dual boot. First think i did was go to a website to down load a PDF file to see if this fix my download problem. File downloaded, i tried opening it, said no file associate. Jump into Google Market , installed reader, open the file, no problem. I started checking with ROM Manager for any nightly updates. There was one and i started downloading it, and moved on to installing Titanium Backup plus Root. Few minutes after dubbing around, checking CM9.I noticed that it had a download error. SO i jumped on to another website to download another file. Immediately <Untitled> Download Unsuccessful. Here we go again. Switch over to Google Market, Titanium Backup plus Root finished installing.
I remove it and root. Check to see if it fixed the problem. NOPE! still no downloading. This morning at work during break, I wiped CM9 out with ACMEUnistaller, and started over. Same install as before. No problem downloading any files so far, but i have not reinstalled Titanium Backup plus Root. I will install it tonight just to be sure and redo my Samsung Fascinate to see if i can reproduces the same results there with CM10.
Can someone else that is having the same problem confirm with their system and see if they get same result?
Not so
Sorry guys, I just reinstalled Titanium Backup plus and can not repeat it. I'll keep checking with everything that I install and any settings I change
You may have better luck with the Touchpad forum.

Its not just my touchpad that is having the same issue. My Samsung fascinate have the issue and it has CM10 nightly. I've search many forum site for this problem. There are many other that are having the issue with all different devices and ROM's. I
I'm currently trying to repeat on touchpad because if i mess this unit up it won't be a big deal for me. I have got it down 25 minutes or ever less removing the CM and reload it. Not so fast for me on the Samsung. So far unsuccessful repeating it. Going to try repairing Fascinate and on it.
You think this should be moved to another thread? If so please let me know.
Thanks in advance
FYI, if you change the name of the original Download folder to, say Download_old, then try the download again, it will create a new folder and download to that one. weirdly, the folder permissions are exactly the same for both folders after (rwxrwxr-x)
Hey there. I got a Xperia Sola recently and am loving it so far. Getting this has been my switch from IOS to Android and so i'm a little unsure on how to do things, I need a bit of help with something.
Going over to android I was rather excited for some of the larger, more intensive apps that my old iPhone3g couldn't run so I bought myself a nice big 32gb sdcard to put all these apps on. Today I bought NFS Most Wanted, installed the downloader thing from the play store and set it running. When I came back later, I was sad to find that rather than installing to the nice spacious 32gb external card, it had downloaded 2gb of files into the Internal Storage and half filled it. How can I move these files to their intended place on the external card, and how can I make future large downloads go onto the external card as well? The only options I can see in the settings menu are Move to Phone or Move to Internal Storage/SD.
Thanks in advance ^_^

Thanks, but is there no way to do it without rooting? All of the rooting methods I've been able to find for the Sola (I think the one by Bin4ry is a popular one or something?) use the restore and backup thing and that refuses to work for some reason, just gives me an error message every time I try so I haven't been able to root the phone yet.
Edit I think i've figured rooting out. What does the "set abd in path" thing mean in that first link you gave me?

Try this if you are on ICS
Settings> Apps> Downloaded/ALL > NFS Most Wanted
Tap open it. Scroll down and there would be a button reading move to phone! Click it and see if that works. If It copies the file from internal storage to the phone's user available storage then download any market app like app2sd to further transfer the game files to your ext card.
I don't know whether it'll work or not. Still give it a shot!
Happy to help!
Hi guys,
i've been struggling with this issue for weeks,tried everything and still didn't find a solution.
When i copy/cut large files, the tranfer speed suddently drops to 0kb/s and freezes.
It happens on operation within the phone and when tranfer file from pc too.
I've obiouvsly done dozen of total wipes.
I've tried different 4.4.2 roms.
I've tried different file mananger apps.
I've tried different kernels.
I've done a chkdsk on internal and external sd cards.
I've tried another external sd card.
So, because I was concerned about an hardware failure, I flashed the stock 4.1.2 rom.....used it for 4-5 days and the problem was gone.
Back to 4.4.2 and the issue is still here.
The strange thing is I don't have this issue with a fresh installed rom...it comes after configuring and using the phone for a while.
I've done an intensive google research,but seems no one has this problem,hope somebody can help
cheers:fingers-crossed:

as I said, is not only a problem when tranferring from pc to phone, but it happens also when copy files from phone to phone !
it happens even in recovery mode mounting usb storages!
nobody with a similar problem?
I had same problem like this. When I copied large no. of photos & videos from PC to my S2, I would get android.media FC everytime, so what I did is make a .nomedia file (using file manager) in a folder and copied there, that fixed it.

I accidentally thanked you when clicking reply button lol.
I don't have any FC.....just the transfer speed goes down to 0kb/s and never resume...
how it's possible that i'm the only one in the world with this problem??????????
Ok, so I got the tronsmart vega s89 and I can't install purchased apps on it I get error (couldn't install on USB storage or SD card) funny thing is no first time I tried install I didn't have sd card in. I have looked for the temp file smt2 or whatever it is, its not here. This device is on kitkat and I think has a bad path to install location. Can I Change the install location? This error only happens with purchased apps NOT free ones. Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

Should work if you just remove your Google Account and then add it back and try again.

No, I wish it was that easy. I have tried Factory reset and removing account.
Sounds like a pain! Do you have more than 1 account on the tablet or use 2 different Google accounts? Seems like many people with this issue had success by using the Play Store site on the PC to tell it to install. Obviously not ideal, but just seems to be a weird thing that affects certain devices / updates. There is a thread here with various ideas and fixes: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2548604

This is a known issue. The manufacturer has been made aware of this and they will fix it soon. People have reported that if you restore paid apps with something like titanium backup then it works - so thats the wokaround if need paid apps for now.
Head to this forum - the developers do there magic there not in XDA.

I searched a lot for this and finally got this solution.. It worked for me..
All u have to do is unmount sd card before installin and u can see it installs perfectly.....
After install u can mount sd card again
