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)

I am running Vegen 5.1, I did the market fix, Everything was working fine.
I tried to buy bejeweled, and for some reason it would not download, It kept saying the download is starting, and it would show the downloading arrow in the notifications for about 3 seconds, then disappear, and nothing downloads.
Now I have tried to download different apps, and nothing will download?
I have ran thru the market fix steps 2 times again now, and that does not work.
Please can someone help me?
Common issue tonight....dont panic. I am guessing it relates to Googles conference Wednesday. Perhaps they are doing something. I had the issue...rebooted and was able to download the app I couldnt previously.

Sounds like issue with your SD partition. You will need to repartition your internal to 2048/0. This is documented on the first post of the Vegan thread.
Well, I tried to do some stuff, and now I am stuck in bootloop.
On market Help from google, it said to go the mangae Apps Markey, and uninstall update.
So I did that.
Then I rebooted.
Then I did Market Fix steps.
Then I rebooted, now all it does is continue to boot.
Anyone? Please?
what im so lost
best actionis to install sgs tools apk. Apply script, market fix
Ok, I did the partition.
Now it boots back up, however everything looks like I just did a factoy reset, and things still don't download.
Where do I find sgs tools apk. Apply script, market fix
Market is having issues for ever device, including market supported phones...randomly tonight. Possible cause = Google conference tomorrow and possible market enhancements being announced.

I see, so I created a bunch of work for myself in the name of learning.
I bascially just started ever with the reinstalling of the rom.
On the plus side, when you learn the most is when things go wrong. And I feel your pain - I had to reload everything from a bootloop as well

I had the same problem last night. I got it to download by going into settings/applications/system applications and clearing the data in the download manager. I had to do it for every download. BTW It seems to be working fine this morning.

Hi all,
I didn't want to start a new thread but I hope someone sees this one as the main title is not descriptive at all.
I got my new gtablet three days ago (not a woot) and have been trying different roms (TNT 4.3.1 / Vegan 5.1) with no luck in the android market. As in the first topic, I tried the fixes for the market, clearing cache, data, even re-partitioning to make sure partition was 2048 | 0, turning off firewall in my router... EVERYTHING! I can see all the applications but as soon as I click to install it keeps in "starting downloading..." and could be there for hours without downloading a single bit.
Early in this topic the speculation was a google conference taking place but... that was February! Is anybody experimenting the same (frustration, haha)? How can I identify where the problem could be?
Thanks in advanece!

I'm right there with you and have yet to find a solution. It's quite frustrating.
Gtab- Stock 3358.
Previously I had Stock 3358 and rothnics enhancement pack. I installed an app from the market. As soon as I started the app the gtab screen went blank. Then the TapnTap logo as if it was rebooting then within 2 sec I was back at the home screen. If it rebooted it was a heck of a fast reboot.
then I started getting the error. Everything except stock email and settings work. But the error message pops up every few seconds. I can't go to settings and wipe. So I attempted to install stock 3358. it went fine but problem persist. Still can;t go to settings to check version or do a afactory reset.
Any and all help is appreciated.

I had same problem and after debating the right courses to take, I nvflash'ed the device and started over again.
Still would like to understand that caused that error ?
This usually occurs as the result of contacts in your contact folder with blanks in the name fields. Delete any entries with blanks and you should be good to go.
PS. You will get faster resolution if you search before posting as this has been asked and answered several times in past week.
I have same problem...."The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again"
I went into my google account, deleted or put names in contacts that didnt have names, rebooted and still having problem. I tried going into the data/data file, but there was no data file to delete as indicated on other threads. There is not an easy to find thread for this problem. Please help or at least direct me.
Thanks!!!
I never had any contacts saved. Regardless I cannot even open the contacts folder to add/delete anything.
I am having problems with, email, contacts, settings. as soon as I attempt to open any of the above it gives the FC message and takes it back to home.
On the other hand I called Gtab support. As soon as I told the probelm the lady asked me if I could go to settings. Once I told her no I cannot she said you have to send the unit back for repair. She said that she helped another individual yesterday with exact same issue.
On aside note I was able to delete most of my apps using ES file explorer.
@Bekit @rothnic or other senior members is there any solution beside nvflash. I am a newbie.
thanks.
I had the same problem in February and fixed it by searching this forum and finding pieces to put together a solution. The rest of this message is what I posted back on 2/24/11. I think the important part is to repartition your SD card and clear all user data. I have had no problems since I did this fix.
Good luck.
I have had my GTablet since early December and have been running the Stock Enhancement since early January. I have had no problems except for a very occasional unexpected stop. It was never a real problem.
Yesterday I started getting the android.process.acore error literally anytime I tried to use any application. To my knowledge, I had not installed anything recently that would account for this.
The good news is that I followed multiple threads here and came up with what seemed to be a reasonable solution.
I installed Clockwork and reset the partition to 2048/0 as suggested by several posts. I also cleared everything that I could clear using their menu.
Then I installed NVFlash which I believe put me back to the plain vanilla factory OS. (I also think this wiped out Clockwork Mod but I'm not positive.)
I got the "update available" message and did the OTA update of the OS.
Then I installed the TnT Stock Enhancement update and applied the Market Fix.
Everything seems back to normal now.
I want to thank all of the forum members who posted the various instructions that allowed me to piece together this solution.
I realize that not everyone has the same issues when problems occur so there isn't one single fix that is right for everyone. I didn't really understand that until I had this problem. I feel lucky that I've had relatively no problems.
I have to admit that I'm looking carefully at the Motorola Xoom because I suspect it has a much more stable hardware/software infrastructure but I would rethink that if the Viewsonic folks would be more forthcoming about their plans to support upgrades for the GTab. I can live without 3G if I have stability.
Thanks again to all of you experts out there in xda-developers forumland.
Stuck SD card
I am having the same problem and tried to do the restore from the SD card and now the card is in the slot and I cant access the settings to eject it. to run the clockwork mod is there any way to force it to boot the clockwork mod?
For me, Clockworkmod "wipe data/factory reset" eliminated the pesky force close message about android.process.acore that several of us seem to have. NVflashing & Contacts data field corrections did not work for me. The problems seemed to come up after downloading an app from market.
Running VEGAn 1.00 beta 5.1.1 supplement, and happy!
got this last night/this morning as well. from other parts of the forum i went with the fix of using titanium backup to wipe data related to contacts (believe there were three separate items, contacts, contact synch, and something else). btw, I am running VEGAn 5.1.1.
after wiping the data, everything has appeared normal.
hope that helps.
I called CS yesterday. They help me delete most of the apps that I downloaded to see if that will fix the issue. That also helped in eliminating any personal data left behind in case I have to RMA the unit.
that makes my tablet completely stock. I don't have market any more. So can't get clockwork rom manager etc. Bigger probelm is the onscreen keyboard doesn't work either gives the error message.
I did some reading on how to NV Flash the device. Still trying to understand the process.
I have two options
1. NV flash the device and hope that everything still works.
2. I bought sears insruance. Just return the device and then be done with it.
Any help is much appreciated.
My experience level is limted to flashing stock and enhancement packs using the Power and + buttons.
You don't want to use the clockwork in Rom Manager. It doesn't work for the G Tablet.
Here are a couple other options off the top of my head...
1) cwmod for install from Micro SD card http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865245
2) Try calkulin's format all http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=985705

same thing with me. I downloaded a few apps and then I got it. Did the data wipe thing. Came back in and I am still getting the error. Not happening every 5 seconds, but still getting it.
okay, this is strange. I did the data wipe and I was still getting this error. After doing the market fix and got all my downloads available, I noticed that I am only getting this error when I hit the HOME button.
I hit the Home button and the error comes up, then the Android Market comes up. This only happens now when I hit the Home button. Error, Market comes up and I have to hit the Home button again to get home.
HELP!
only the home button
confirmed. Working on this the last 30 minutes, I am only getting this error when hitting the home button.
@ K J Rad
I downloaded caulkins format all zip. Now this may sound a silly question. Do I flash it like changing its name to update.zip and include the recovery file?
2nd question is if I am able to flash it successfully can I install the stock rom?

Just wanted to say this single step worked for me as well.
Ok. Finally got rid of the problem.
First I attemted NVFlash. After some intial strugle setting up the drivers etc on windows got it to work. Everything worked but still had the exact same process.
B/w I noticed superuser still there. I thought NV Flash will bring it to out of box. Used Bekits image.
After some more reading took the plunge and did CWM internal. Dide wipe data. Rebooted and got it working again.
Again pardon my ignorance but do I have to manually update to 3358. And if I do it go stock would it get rid of CWM. How do i get it off the machine?
I would like to prepare for the OTA.
Please advise.
B/w it was fun going through the process.

Glad you got it working. Installing the stock 3588 update will replace the bootloader and removes CWM. That should leave you as close to real stock as you can get.
Oh, and welcome aboard ;-)

Thank you very much, that was an incredibly painless fix. Worked on TnT-Enhanced v3.1.4b
A HUGE thanks in advance for any help you can offer:
I have a Viesonic G-Tablet, and I've flashed a couple of different ROM's on it - TNT Lite 4.4 and VEGAn-TAB 7.0 RC1.
LOOOOONG story short:
Tried to install Ubuntu, no luck.
Downloaded ZPad to try it out, installed. Didn't like it, used ClocworkMod to recover to a previous TNT Lite 4.4 install. From there, reflashed to Vegan...
And that's when the problems started. Namely, Market no longer works properly. None of my downloads are successful. It gives a "Download error - Download was unsuccessful, please try again."
So, after trying again to go back to TNT Lite and having the same trouble, I NVFlashed back to stock, wiped EVERYTHING per the directions on XDA, in the order prescribed - did everything by-the-book, and still no luck on any ROM. TNT Lite, Vegan - both of them adamantly refuse to download anything from the market.
I've searched to my wits end not only in this thread, but others as well. I've reset the data, reset the cache, uninstalled the market update - you name it, I've tried it.
Could it be your internet connection? Do other devices on your network download from the internet fine?
Thanks for the question. I guess I should have been a little more specific: Yes, great connection. I can browse the web fine, even download from Amazon's appstore - but that's where it ends. The weirdest thing is that I have noticed that I can download Firefox from the Marketplace, but literally - that's it. Nothing else, and I've tried close to 40 different apps now. All fail to download.
I've tried clearing the cache, etc...
I was even desperate enough to pretty much do a system wipe and come up clean. I used ClockworkMod to format everything - even the SDcard. Made sure to set the partition size to 2048/0, the whole nine yards. Wiped all the data, cleared/formatted cache, so I'm at a loss.
*UPDATE 4/18/11 - On a whim, I decided to use ClockworkMod to reset my User Data, and signed my tablet in under another Google account I had. As I type this, I'm downloading all the apps that I was unable to download with my "usual" account. So maybe there's a bug on Google's side? How would I even go about fixing that?
I'm having this same problem. NVFLASH and reFLASH numerous times and still no luck can someone please help. Can't install anything from market at all. it download and as soon as it finish dl and start to install it will restarted itself and nothing happen. please help. THanks
Exact problem I'm having. I've tried five different roms, from Vegan to CM7, to older TnT's and Calkulin's, nothing will let me download and install from the market. I did yet another full NVFlash last night and repartitioned the tablet, still no luck after flashing CM7. It started off allowing me to download a few dozen apps then giving me the download error, but now the first app I try gives me that.
Did anyone else here come down from TwoTapsX or another 1.2 based rom? Seems to me the issue started right about the time I NVFlashed down from that.

I just tried this myself, sure enough I can download with another Gmail account, but not my main one.
This has to be an issue with Google...I am having the same issue also.
How the hell did I quote myself up there?
Mine is downloading again, all I did was sign in as my backup account, wipe data and dalvik cache, reflash then fix permissions. When i logged in again it worked. Don't know which step actuallly fixed it.
I just deleted the data under app management and they started working again for me.

I had the same. Uninstalling Flash player seem to have solved the issue for me
Me too
I seem to have the same problem however I do not get an error message at all, I just see the application in the notification bar preparing to download except instead of even downloading it basically just disappears. I had this problem ever since installing Vegan tab 5.1.1.
I had the same problem...drove me crazy...finally figured out that you can just log intp the market on my laptop and install everything from there....
I just rooted today. Tried Bamf 1.7 -- Apps would not download. Went to 2.0 with leaked Radio, only apps downloaded were the ones Google restored automatically. All the other I try manually says "unsuccessful". Wont even start downloading. I wiped Market Cache. Didn't work. On 1.7 I did a factory reset, didn't work.
Any other ideas? Everything else works great. LOVE GB...
Update to original post:
I installed Das Bamf Preview 3 and same issue.
Apps WILL download when I use the Market website.
Does ANYONE have ANY clue??? this is so frustrating.
samething
Same here, I read somewhere you might be logged into two devices which might be the problem but not sure if that will help... and also read somewhere else you need to be signed into gtalk which i cant do either. help please

What do they mean, logged into two devices? I have a NOOKcolor (running CM7 7.0.3) and I just checked that and its doing the exact same thing!
next post correction
I fixed it.
I can now download apps from market. I used adb to get into recovery i data wiped a couple of times then i reflashed das bamf 2.0-5 and i was doing some searching and I also flashed gapps zip i will post link in a little bit...

Hello, Thanks for all your help so far in rooting my Padfone X Mini. It's been incredibly useful in removing extra bloat and speeding up my device. Unfortunately I went just too far and deleted an app that I needed. I'm wondering if anyone can supply me with a copy of the APK for the ASUS Splendid app. It looks like the version I was using was 1.1.0.140618. I've tried some of the other downloads I've found of newer versions and they just crash every time I try to do anything. I rather liked the reading mode, but just wasn't paying attention when I got uninstall trigger happy.
Thanks in advance!

You may just be best off using one of the ROM backups and starting over. I've learned to freeze an app first with titanium and then delete if no problems arise.
Well, I ended up just wiping it, installing a fresh factory ROM (since the stripped version had it missing as well) and re-removing the system app bloatware. I did it a little more carefully this time, using TB to freeze them first to check for problems. This time I'm good to go. Several apps already installed and more than a GB left. Finally this phone is usable.
