HELP! I Can't Download! - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have an error in downloading.
Anything I download from outside websites fails. Market is still good though.
It say's I have a download error.
Also, I get the com.htc.bgp force close error.
What is that?
THX!

@ the outside market downloading issue, I used to get that on my G1 all the time "content not supported" message when I would try and download something like a .doc for example. Try the download download crutch app, it allowed for me to download non-supported files on past phones but then they removed it from market. It's 100% free but you can't quite find it anywhere anymore sadly D:
As far as your "com.htc.bgp" issue, try running fix permissions in your recovery mod. Also when does this error occur? What triggers it to force close?
EDIT: Did some google'ing and apparently com.htc.bgp has to do with location issues, some people in other phone threads have said turning off GPS makes them not get this error anymore. Hope this helps!

My GPS is always off, and I did infact try n google it before asking, because I don't like asking people for help, and I even tried the clear cache/data thing; didn't work.
and I'll try getting the download crutch.
thx

Ditto on getting Download Crutch.

linda file manager enables you to download just about anything, and it has some other awesome features like task manager/application manager/application backup/application restore/and the standard file manager allowing you to extract zips on the sdcard

Check to see if you have location turned on for something like Google search.

Astro file manager also allows you to dl anything, just look for it on the market.

Market BUG
After I flash this firmware, I only able to download a few applications and then something weird happened. The Market start to download the program that I don't download and it say download unsuccessful and after that when I want to download other program, It stuck at starting download.
Only solution I found is factory reset
I originally used DXJF4 rom

if the solution is a factory reset and does not repeat, it is not a bug..

Hey Luke,
Been experiencing this problem ever since i got this phone, i've now tried every firmware update possible, no real fix as yet. I suspected it had something to do with the fact that i moved from a Nexus One with Froyo back to Eclair, but it sounds like you haven't done that.
Let me know if you find a fix... would love to be able to use my market the way it was intended.
No YouTube connect
Hi XDA Folks,

Camera Geotaging stops working after some seconds.
Simply no position inside the EXIF Tag.
This issue is not new in this Firmware.
It exists longer time.

Thanks for the tip but it did not work. I'm having a problem where the imei number on the phone using *#06# is different to the case imei. I don't get how the numbers changed, but would desperately appreciate if someone could tell me how to match them up again?
I also have a problem with try to correct by changing .imei in /system /efs to match case imei but after reboot it keep changing back.

yes thanks that was the solution iforget todo factory reset
now works fine
I already had 2 crash/freeze with this kernel, it looks definitely unstable.
2 crashes situation :
1/ Pressing stop/play in xiialive lite
2/ listening audio in the standard mp3 player.
It crashed both time using the audio device.
I waited 1min the first time, hoping OOm killer or something else would kill a bad behaving process; without success.
The second time, i did not had time to loose :/
Very disapointing !
2 days after installing JS2 I'm still unable to connect to Market.
I'm unable to setup the Google login. Error is always no server available or something in that manner. Selecting clearing cache in recovery also did not help either.
Any suggestion is highly appreciated.
Thanks.
If you are not able to login to the market, then you will have a general problem..
Because you can even login if you dont have the market fix..
The market fix is just for secure apps...

Market stuck on "downloading.."

Okay, this is slightly different from being stuck on 'starting download' My market will download just fine, up to 100% and just hang, it takes multiple cancels and restarts for it to actually INSTALL what i'm trying to install.
9/10 times it will stall on 100%, meaning the green bar will be filled up with progress, the amount downloaded will be equal to the file size, but it will never transition to "installing"
Also, my microSD card will have the download under the downloads folder, and depending on how many times i had to cancel and restart the download, it will have Download-1, download-2, download-3 etc etc filling up the folder.
Never happened on 2.1, but every FroYo ROM i've tried starts to get this behavior after a while. what gives?
Did you try to reinstall gapps? What version are you using?

I had the same problem had to go under Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>all> select market and clear data. you will have to when you go into the market next time you have to re agree to the market terms but that should fix the problem.
That was what mine was doing when I found out about the Talk bug, did you make sure that is logged in?

I will try. the last time I did I got in an endless loop of "an error has occured. try again later." pretty much forcing me to restore a nandroid backup.

I log in to g-talk all the time :-\
Same problem here on Fresh 3.2, though I have experienced this on other 2.2 roms as well. I usually have to do like the OP said and cancel the download and restart. This seems random for me though. Half the time it downloads normal. No idea why.

Pocket Legends APK

Does anyone have the Pocket Legends APK released yesterday?
I would be so very thankful if someone could supply me with it since it is the only bloody app that refuses to download from the market.
having the same problems on my phone as well.
had my mate next to be download and install it but weirdly the apk doesnt exist in data\app or system\app....
but +1 i want the apk too
Can't he do a search for the .apk?
yeah we searched for pocket* using root explorer with no results. Unless you know what its called..
Get him to uninstall it, get the application installation tracker, reinstall and it should say shouldn't it?
he tried to uninstall it and it made his launcher crash. now it doesnt show up in his app drawer after he rebooted his phone. he went to market to uninstall there and now it will only download but not install. It just hangs at the installing status.
hes not too happy anymore haha...
This apk is impossible to find, even apps like apkshare won't find a trace of it.
Scratch that, I got it

Mine failed first attempt to download from the Market, second time went fine. Awesome game

nice!! thanks mate!
I'm still having issues with this. I've downloaded it to my Evo using Myn's rom, wont install. Donwloaded the apk from here, still wont install.. flashed CM6 and still no luck. Is it not compatible with the Evo or something?
It originally installs on the SD card, and is 40(!)MB, so make sure you have space.
Mine also installed 2nd time from the market, and it's fun to play! I'm happy to see and MMO finally on android, I was craving for one! A bad point is, that it seems you have to pay a lot of extra to buy +dungeons, items, etc. No good....
Really nice with BT Mouse and TV-Out this one!
Thank you for the link

1.5.1 is on market but problem with download still here ( plz can anybody upload it somwhere?
:/
I have the same problem
I dont understand, what is so special on this aplication, that its not possible download it from repository of market. Other applications are downloading correctly.
When I press install, It seems that it will start downloading, but after few seconds apears download bar, where is nothing happening. I am user of Desire with Leedroid froyo rom. I tried clean market and download manager data, but problem is still there.
Do you have any idea how to resolve it?
Meantime can someone upload .apk file of version 1.5.1?
Thanks and sorry for my english.
Ah yes, the game has been updated (to 1.5.1), the earlier APK is not usable any more. And for me it appears to actually download it, just not install it.
same to me...can't install the game from the market .
and i have the earlier apk version
Thanks for the download link!

Purchased app not installing

I just purchase Widget Locker, but when i try to download, it says "can't download due to an error"....what to do now?
Well probably some market issue. Try to reboot and retry or maybe even delete market data and retry.

Either that or the transaction hasn't fully gone through and is just taking a little longer to sort out. If your still having issues, would be a good idea to try and talk to google

Download unsucessful in browser

Brand new Gnex like everybody else.
Every time I try to download something from the browser I'm getting a download unsuccessful error, but if everywhere else downloads work.
For example if i'm in the xda forum app and somebody post a download that shows up in the app it goes straight through but if I have to click on a link and try to download it, it doesn't work.
Also if I pull up a picture in the browser and long press and save picture it doesn't work but i can set it as a wallpaper no problem.
http://wallpaper.goodfon.com/image/115621-1680x1050.jpg
This picture right here didn't work for me.
I'm still completely stock right now. haven't rooted or changed bootloader and running stock browser
I was playing around with my buddies nexus and found the same problem. A work around I found was to go into the Download app in the drawer, find your download, long press it until it gives you a retry option. Might take at least two tries but the file finally downloaded

Same problem here. My workaround is just to download on my PC, and use Dropbox to move it to my Gnex.

Yeah that's what I've been doing while at work in front of my computer, but that's not really a workaround since you can only do it when you are in front of a pc.
Any updates on this?
***SOLVED***
In settings, go to "Apps", select the "All" tab, go down and find "Download Manager", press the "Force Stop" button, then press the "Clear Data" button. Reboot and you can download again.
Download astro file manager. In prefs - enable browser downloads.

This didn't fix it for me and also you don't want that because that will make Astro the download manager. You want the stock one to work either way. Try my fix above first.
Also try
1. Clear cache for "Browser" in the Apps menu.
2. Clear cache and dalvik-cache in CWM and reboot.
3. If you have Astro already installed, try uninstalling it.
All else fails, repeating these 3 steps plus the fix I posted above in this order.
This worked thank you

This was happening to me and I tried everything I could think of to fix it including wiping data on market, uninstalling updates, factory reset phone, and wiping cache in download manager. I finally figured out that it would only fail when on wifi. Turning it off would let me download. I finally gave up trying to fix it. Funny thing is it works now though. I recommend just giving it a day. It may fix itself. It did for me.

I've had this problem before with stock browsers on phones. My solution is to use dolphin browser and set it to default.

I've countless threads and people recommended this or Opera mini. I don't consider any of these a solution. It's just a "workaround" since the original issue is not resolved. What I found was the solution. Highly recommend it. Especially considering how nice the stock browser on this phone is.
