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.

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.

Android Market/YouTube not working

Hi guys,
Its happened again. I started a thread about a problem I had with my android market when I suddenly couldn't download anything..just stuck at "downloading" with the stripes scrolling endlessly. Its just reappeared. Along with the similar problem with the youtube app "there was a problem while playing this video. touch to retry". I reflashed my ROM with ODIN, then wiped all app data then out of frustration..hard reset. Lost all the apps. STILL NOT WORKING. Clearly some Google Account problem. I lost. My wonder feels like a brick without the market working. I had a google account problem when I first bought the phone and had to use a workaround involving setting up a youtube channel. Now I'm really lost.

What kinda Google Account problem?
You on someone's blacklist or what??
Forgive my curiosity....you in China?? GFW??
Sent from my GT-I8150 on Lanzarote Canary Vacation using Tapatalk

No I'm not in China, I'm in Ghana in West Africa. I updated three apps last nite on my work WiFi. Before that I'd tried doing it with my 3G network but it was stalling like it is now. When it worked on the WiFi I just thought it was fine. Then tried using the market this morning on my home WiFi and thats when the panic set in. It just seems its not a problem locally on my phone since I've literally WIPED IT CLEAN it but the market still not working. Starts the download, the stripes begin scrolling and continue endlessly. Its as if the google account is malfunctioning somehow but I don't know....

OK.....
You try clear cache and data on Market App in Settings/Applications/Manage
Or maybe fix permissions in Clockwork and Dalvik Cache....

I've cleaned every cache..no good. Done a hard reset(lost all my apps!)..still no good. Can you elaborate on fixing clockwork/dalvik?(Don't have custom recovery installed by the way but have root and TTB Pro installed)

Hi again
Reading through your posts.... you seem to have tried almost everything.....
including reflashing ROM...
which ROM you use.....??
So my suggestion regarding Dalvik Cache and Fix Permissions may be redundant.....however, there I'd an option in Titanium Bkup to repair Dalvik....
Menu/more/Clean up Dalvik.....
Also, there is an App on Market to allow Fix Permissions, but, AFAIK, only 1 App at a time....can you get Market on PC/Laptop???
[Fix permissions is Linux thing, ensuring each file has correct "permissions".]
Perhaps apk can be download and side loaded on phone!!!!
Maybe try install ClockworkMod Recovery[CWM] ......it is in the forum, you can flash with ODIN or push with adb.
This will allow you to any least create Backup[Nandroid].....so you will always be able to restore your full phone contents, Apps, etc.
Sent from my GT-I8150 on Lanzarote Canary Vacation using Tapatalk

Thanks for the concern Irish. I indeed cleared the Dalvik(twice) with TTB before my eventual hard reset. Now there's an update to all this:
-Setup another google account and immediately was able to download a few apps while my phone was stuck on Edge(My mobile data fluctuates between 3G and 2G at home even though I do have 3G most of the time).
-My luck even lasted after the signal switched to 3G(still got two or three apps in) after which I switched to my home wifi to see if it was really fixed...but no. Once I switched to the wifi I was back to square ONE. Switching back to the mobile data network didn't help.
-HOWEVER, at work last nite, I used the wifi at work and the market WORKED flawlessly. Didn't miss a step. Got back the bulk of my 40+ lost apps thankfully.
NOW:
I guess this has more to do with my ISP at home which happens to be my cellular network provider as well(Vodafone GH). But I'm really at a loss now. Even if it was due to some new restrictions by vodafone wouldn't there be a way around it? I know about Android Market and port 5228 and all but I doubt vodafone would block the market when they've got the GS2/Tab on their portfolio. And I've got some evidence that my workplace ISP is a client to...VODAFONE. What a mess!!!
Thanks for your concern though. I'll look for the fix permissions app since that could make a difference. Its the only thing I havent tried anyway! Maybe it'll have to be next time I'm at work(If I cant find the apk).
PS:-I use the XEU unbranded rom (I8150XXLA2_OXXKL4_XEU (2.3.6)). Bought my phone in the UK sim-free
-My WiFi at home is 802.11g while that at work is 802.11n. Both have worked flawlessly with my Wonder and specifically my android market until now.

OK man.....hope you get it fixed.
Don't forget also CWM recovery will allow you backup total phone existing setup.....
so, if you lose stuff again, you only need to restore your backup to recover all Apps, data, everything on your phone.....
so no need to restore Apps again to get back to where you were before crash.
BTW.....fix permissions from Market:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.stericson.permissionfix&hl=en
Although it is pretty basic!!!! But it's from Stericsson.....he is dev for best Busybox Installer!!!!
Honestly, from what you say, I would suspect your home WiFi, you check router settings, etc.
BTW....TB does not completely wipe Dalvik....just repairs what it think's is missing.....
If you had CWM....you could completely wipe this, and run fix permissions. after making.g Nandroid bkup.....
Also, if you used V6 Turbo charger Memory Management Script....there is option to wipe Dalvik.....
It is no prob doing this, simply gets rebuilt by system, but without a lotta built-up rubbish....
Also, with CWM you can wipe all partitions before flashing new ROM....always a good idea.

I've backed up all my apps on my ext. sd with TTB but from all the stories I've read on our forums of FC's when restoring backups from TTB, its wise to get the CWM and do the nandroid. And will try downloading the app. Thanks for your time Irish. Will report back if(or when) its finally resolved. Interesting response from google; seem to share the idea that it has a more to do with 'connectivity' to their servers:
This is their latest response:
Thanks for writing me back. Your reply was very helpful, It's always nice to receive a detailed reply because it helps me a lot when troubleshooting. It sounds like you're having general connectivity issues - please try the following troubleshooting steps to resolve the issue:
- Reboot your device
- Sign in and out of Google Talk repeatedly to restore connection to our servers:
1. Go to your device’s app launcher, and press the Talk app
2. If you’re already signed into Talk, press Menu, and then touch Sign out
3. Launch Talk again to sign in (if you are unable to sign in, please let me know)
- Clear your Market cache (Settings > Applications > Manage applications > All > Market > Clear cache)
- Ensure firewalls are not blocking access to ports required for Android Market (TCP and UDP 5228)
- Confirm that there is strong connectivity on your device, and contact your mobile service provider if you aren't connected
- Uninstall Market updates by visiting:
Settings > Applications > Manage Applications, selecting "Market" under the "All" tab or filter and touching "Uninstall updates"
If none of these steps resolve the issue, please let me know, and I will be happy to continue investigating the problem.
Regards,
Cory

That sounds like a good response to me......keep in touch with them!!!

After clearing the stored wifi password, then rebooting before reconnecting to my home Wifi, the android market(and youtube app) are working again. I had cleared out the Dalvik twice last night with the V6 Script. This was all about establishing a connection to Google's servers. Hope it doesn't happen again...can be a real pain. Thanks for the responses

Was it necessary to install gapps (Google Apps) for the ROM you flashed?
If it was, were you able to flash gapps successfully with CWM recovery?
Maybe you could try re-flashing gapps, making sure it's for ICS/CM9.
I hope this helps.

Log into your google account and check your wallet. There may be an issue with your payment method. If everything is fine, try deleting the app and then reinstalling the market. You can google "android market apk" to find it, or Google "google play apk". Download and install.
If that still doesn't solve, it could also just be the Google servers having an issue.

might be a ROM issue
I have the same "error processing issue" problem. I often have to clear my market cache/data, which works sometimes. So I called google market play to see if there were any issues in my account, and the rep said there was none. His theory was that there might be some issues with the custom ROM (ARHD) I installed, since I only started having problems after I installed it. Anyway, I think the only solution for now is the clear cache data approach, or better yet, hope that our ROM builders are able to address the issue.
As an aside, my ARHD is working perfectly, except for this market issue (cum hoc, ergo propter hoc?)

I also have a custom rom installed and had this same issue, I resolved it by uninstalling updates for the google play store app, and then it worked...at least for now.

I recently started messing with various roms and themes when this issue popped up for me. I searched the web and tried the various methods (removing gmail account, not updating, etc) with little luck. After hours of frustration, I finally found out what was causing the issue.
I was using Titanium Backup to back up all my files and restore them as I was flashing between the various roms, that was the trouble maker.
When you back up your files before a flash, make sure you do not back up the google/play store. So, if you are having problems, try to go trough these steps and it should fix it.
Back up all your files (minus play store) in Titanium Backup.
Reboot phone into clockwork.
Reset Factory Data x3
Wipe Cache x3
Install your rom from zip
Once your phone is booted up again, do not enable Wifi (for now)
Do not add a Google Account
Go to the market and download Titanium (will prompt to add Google account, do so)
Exit the Market
Go back to the market (it should now have auto updated to play store)
Try to download another app, any app, it should work
You can now use Titanium to restore all your apps and data, but make sure that you do not restore anything with the market/play store in it.
I did this yesterday, restored all my games, contacts, text messages, etc and it has worked fine for me ever since.
I am running slickMOD Supreme with the Darkside Kernel.
Hope this helped at least a few of you as I know how big of a headache this was for me.

All is good now. However, it does still happen with a couple apps, free or paid. I can't remember which ones but it gives the processing purchase error. Very rare albeit still present.

Aloha;
Sounds like an ID mismatch here. Happens whenever you do a factory reset or change ROMs. I'm guessing that the ID is a hash of the phone and the ROM, maybe. Anyway, the device ID is what ties the phone to your Google account and apps use this to determine whether you paid for the installed app or run as a freeware version.
Titanium now offers the choice of reverting the id back to the old one or ignore the change. I prefer NOT to change the ID back as I've ran into more id mismatch problems down the road than just keeping the new ID. I too use Titanium to backup my apps and data, and use it to quickly restore my apps and data to a new installation on my phone (whether it be a factory reset or a new ROM, or even a reinstallation of the current ROM). Whenever I have a misbehaving app that reverts back to the freeware version or complains about licensing problems, I then uninstall the app and then reinstall the app directly from the Play Market. That has always fixed the problem for ME. Your Mileage May Vary, which mean while it works for me, it MAY not work for you. Keep that in mind before you start biatchin that it doesn't work.
Oh, yeah, also try rebooting after the reinstallation. If nothing else, Dalvik and Cache!
Mahalo,

I've run into this a few times after doing a restore from a backup or swapping ROMs. Best way I can fix it is go to Google Services Framework, stop it, clear the data. Next go to Google Play, stop it. Uninstall any updates, then clear the data. Reboot phone. Go to Google Play again, accept terms, and now it should work. Just some advice.

have you tried just reflashing the rom? Some apps wont work correctly if you dont flash it correctly.
Make sure you flash the gapps correctly as well. Try reflashing it and let me know how it goes.

Check to make sure you're not signed in on your computer or another device. If that doesn't help, uninstall updates for each, clear data and reboot.
Open the store and 're enter your information, then after it loads, back out of it and wait several minutes. It should reupdate, and you can try again.

I've had this problem, which has even followed me from my SGH-T999 to a SGH-T999L (stock, neither rooted) when I had to change phones. Specifically Google Now and Google Voice wouldn't sync when on wifi, and this was true not only at home (ie not router-related). All other internet services, including Gmail and Play would work on wifi, and both worked fine on cellular.
Even before I switched phones I did a factory reset and it worked for a little while and then came back. And same after I switched phones. My hunch is that there was some corrupted setting that kept getting restored from backup. Recently I tried clearing data for Google Services Framework and a few other google apps, and again that worked for a day or two, then reverted.
So tonight, based in part on DocHoliday77s advice, I tried the following steps (after Helium backup, to be on the safe side):
1. Logged out of Chrome on my desktop
2. Removed the google account from the phone (settings->accounts->google->sync)
3. Killed all apps running (Advanced Task Killer), for what it's worth
4. Cleared data from every google app (or at least all the ones that looked like google services) one by one in the application manager (all apps)
5. Rebooted phone
So far so good--everything restored easily (much easier than a factory reset), and as with prior resets it's working fine on wifi. But I've been burned before so my enthusiasm is tempered...
Update 5/22/2014:
It's been working continuously since then. There were a few apps which lost their bearings--must have been linked to Google Services, but resetting was minor. Google Voice will still occasionally lose the ability to connect on wifi, but now a simple reboot fixes the problem.
I hope this helps someone in the same situation!

Default app settings problem

I am having a problem getting the default app settings to stick. I have Chrome browser set as my default browser. Everytime I click on a link in a email or in a web page I have to select which browser I want to use. I click on Chrome and select always, then I get the popup notification that I need to go to the default settings and clear. I have done this so many times I can't count them any more. I have tried using the Default App Manager from Google play store but still have to select which browser I want to use each time. I am runing IronRom 2.3.5.

I have exactly the same problem with all apps. Driving me crazy

Maybe we will get lucky and someone will eventually reply with a fix or at least an explanation as to what is causing this.

Is there a chance you are rooted and removed or froze (Titanium Backup) apps to reduce bloat ware? I ask as I lost proper app association functionality after doing what I described. I refreshed my firmware and regained normal association functionality. Unfortunitely I never identified which specific app I needed to leave alone and never had the patience to do a trial and error test so cannot help further.

The first time I used ODIN to re-flash the stock firmware (5.0.2). That wiped all my user data, but the second time I copied the firmware tar file to the Tab S then used Flashfire to only flash the boot, system and recovery images thus preserving user data. Flashfire will automatically reinstall SuperSU to retaining root. I added the clearing of cache to the Flashfire flash process queue just to be thorough.
If you de-bloated by freezing apps with Titanium Backup then first unfreeze everything, reboot and check if app associations work again. Could save you a lot of time because re-flashing would not be required.
If you de-bloated by removing system apps they will need to be removed again but if you used Titanium Backup to freeze apps they will still be frozen and you will likely still have the issue with app association. I used to remove system apps but I switched to TiBu freeze specifically because when I upgrade firmware (e.g. BOE2 to BOE3) my de-bloat selections are retained. Just more convenient. There maybe slicker ways to get app associations working again but I never found an alternative.
Hope that helps.
