I've searched for days whether anyone else had experienced this problem regarding play store but couldn't find proper solution!
The problem is, whenever i download large apps from play store (say, 50+ MB), the download suddenly stops. the play store app says its downloading but not a single byte is being downloaded. And the other problem is, i cannot resume downloads. What can i do to fix it?
I thought this would have occurred coz of flashing excessive ROMs so i flashed back to stock but even this didn't solve this problem! this is very frustrating as i am trying to download an app ( of about 800+ MB) for days but couldn't finish downloading it! any suggestion would be appreciable! T

What Device are you on? Are you trying to Download over WiFi, or Network? If it's over WiFi , have you checked your settings? Does it happen on all Roms?

Menu-Settings-WiFi-Menu-Advanced. Make sure it's not set to time out after a while. Also make sure that you actually are connecting to the router, with permission. I know that my router here at home you connect to it, and see it. But you cannot actually use it till you enter the password.

Yea i do. The app downloads but stops downloading after certain time. It gets stuck ( let's say at 70%)
The "downloading" notification on the notification bar also gets stuck. I have to restart my phone to remove it.
P.S. Sorry for late reply.

If the available space in the folder /cache on your phone storage is smaller than 50MB, then you can't download apps larger than 50MB coz /cache is the place to save temporary app files you download from google play. But you can try Java-based Real APK Leecher on your PC to download large apks directly from the store.
Are you on the latest version of the Play Store?

I guess this is my problem. Coz my phone storage is low; which means /cache is of low storage too right??
Edit: is there any way i can download apps straight from play store to my sd card without using play store.??

That's the point. The most important defect of android is that the manufacturers paid too much attention on how to adapt the OS for various devices and ignored the actual user experience. As for your question, I searched around and get no answer.
Yet I can give you two suggestions:
1. Download apps from some third-party app download sites which allow you to get apks and bypass play store.
http://www.tipsotricks.com/2012/07/top-10-sites-to-download-free-android-apps.html
Pick up one in this link.
2. Repartition your phone storage. I'm not sure about how to do it coz I haven't tried that before. But I know there are many idle space in other partition like /system which you will never use. So, distribute them wisely.
Good luck!

You're welcome.
You can download not only the apks, but the client of those third-party markets. For instance, here's a link introducing 1mobile.com's client: http://www.1mobile.com/app/market/?cid=9
Directly download link: http://f.1mobile.com/mobile_software/channel/1MobileMarket_c.apk
It's similar to play store and may notify you if there's an update of one of your installed apps. Try app clients made by various websites repeatedly to find out the best.
Also, try some android PC suites which let you to update android apps via PC.

Hi! I got recently problem with my Android Market. I'm not quite sure what's the problem, but I think because I removed the important system applications. You know google's apps. The problem is that when I want to download an app from the market, it just stands on beginning to download the app, it never goes further....
How should i fix this?
Please help me.
Regards Paul
Can you try to delete the market app from /system/app back it up to sd card
And then place it back and reboot
Not sure if it will work but worth a try

I can test, but I don't think it will work..
Go to settings - manage applications and scroll down to market (impt: only market app and not the other market related apps) and then uninstall updates. And then download the apps u want.

Market servers are down. Be patient . WIll be normal soon
yes, I have had issues as well. No "downloads" were showing...
downloaded one app and now they are back.
could have been a Market server issue as well, but was screwed up for 2 days.
btw: the uninstall updates trick does work in most cases when Market is acting up
is the server still down ?

But so i get it right, it's nothing wrong with my phone. It's wrong with the server on Android Market?
I had this problem from last thus till yesterday. Was so p'd off I uninstalled the markets app. I'd recently updated and after uninstall the app was still there but as the previous version, it's working fine now. So I think it's something to do with the updates.

Did I do something wrong upon installation or is anyone else having this problem?

Hmm, i just opened market, went to apps, and found youtube. Downloaded and installed just fine.
1. Perhaps you should install the gapps 20110828 again, and install with ROM Manager.
link is here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version/Google_Apps
2. when in doubt, you could always use the patch:

hopefully this'll get it all fixed up for ya.
you need to flash a market fix. The market hides them because it thinks they don't work well on the screen size.
i lied, fix is actually linked on this forum as well

CM7 Alpha 2.1 is supposed to incorporate this patch, but I'm not sure if it works correctly for those people updating without wipes.
I was not able to find youtube application and when i searched in browser and open the link market I got message that in my country I was not allowed to install it. What a BS
So onlyway was to find an apk

Try "Craigslist HD" app. Can't find it on touchpad and Its specifically for tablets. Also, is there a fix for not being able to see all the search results? Search gives 50 results sometimes but only shows the first 20 or so.
Both these problems occurred on alpha 1 and 2.1, and with the market fix flashed.

Hey guys my girlfriend plays a game on her android called "Tap Fish". In this came you can download other games and you get some prize for doing it. She asked me the other day "how does the app know that I downloaded and installed the game?". I thought that was a pretty interesting question. How do the apps that offer this service know if you have downloaded and installed the game?
Thanks guys!

It makes a connection with market to verify the download of another app. Also, it can be ptrogrammed to wacth system files to see if the app has runnend ever for a certainly amount of time. Is just download a new app to get rewarded or u may exec the new app?

She says it depends on the app. Most of the time its just download and open the app. But some require you to play till level like 2 or 3.

I've downloaded the .apk from androidcommunity.com whose filename is vending-2 for some reason. Anyway, I have attached it, but personally haven't installed it & probably won't do until I get a better idea of how it functions with a 2G connection.

I installed it, just looks nice, but I regret that I did. Before, I was able to download paid applications (by turning back to old market versions and then using a warez application which I cant mention here), but now I can't go back to old versions, and neither I cant uninstall google play. Sucks. But I can download free apps and updates of my paid apps.
Same here Transformed it self

I have been waiting to see what it automatically does. So far just license agreement. Everything else the same no offer of update even. Tbh I'm not interested in upgrading so long as Market still works.

i cant access to my google play store it always says authentication required.....
Hi there guys,
Today I was downloading this app for the very first time. It's showing app size of ~3MB but while downloading, it shows app size of ~1.6MB. I have never faced this problem with other apps.
Why is this happening?
Thanks
Was you updating the app?
I only ask because the playstore will now only update the files in the app that need updating rather than downloading the whole app again. It was bought in to save peoples data usage
Also the same with JB itself
Hope this helps
Thanks for your reply. I know about the new update feature that's why I wrote above that I was downloading this app for the very first time. And that's why it caught my attention. I downloaded it again and same thing happened.
If it's not compressed it must be something to do with a download within the app.. Or its furrgged upp
Mine does the same btw
