Look on the boards....search download problem or download unsuccessful.
In short yes, most people find clearing download managers data in settings > applications > all > download manager. Or using a down loader from market.

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

I noticed the phone gets very warn with these last few firmwares and the battery doesn't seem to last long with the JM2 firmware...
Really bad battery time, lost 40 percent at 8 h standby,

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

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...

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.

Stock clock not working .....please help

Ok ..I let my son play with my phone for two minutes ,and now when press on my clock icon,it says app not installed..I went to settings/apps...and is only showing up in all section ,and is at 0 data? Any way to get me back up and running again??thanks

Well if you're talking about the stock clock then it SHOULD only appear under 'All', also having 0 data isn't bad as I can get that by pressing clear data. Have you tried Disabling and Re-enabling the app? Maybe force stopping might help too.
Thanks Sgtpanda for your reply, it looks like he was messing around in my file manager at the time..... I'm going crazy trying to figure this out. the button on top where your supposed to be able to disable/enable app...it says uninstall updates..but I have no update for the app? It just disappears altogether when I press uninstall updates...until I reboot again it shows the same thing?.......beating my head..

Okay then, open up your file manager and browser to /system/app, scroll down and there should be DeskClockGoogle.apk at 473.90k and DeskClockGoogle.odex ad 90.27K. Are both of those still present on your device?

Yes they are....just tried to install through there and no dice.
Right so when you try to install the app it says 'Application not installed', because if that's the case then I just broke my clock by moving it and when I put it back I got the same problem as you, the solution was to switch the device on and off which sounds really stupid, but have you tried that?

II tried a reboot and It didn't work either, I don't wanna have to factory reset but I just might have to.. Thank for your help
Well that should work, if you've already done it then hope it did, otherwise my last idea would be to extract the app from a stock rom and overwrite your files.

[Q] OTA file location

Forgot to disable OTA updates and my phone downloaded it and now I have this notification that doesn't go away. Looked around using ES file browser but I can't find the location out the OTA file so I can delete it.
Anyone know the location of the OTA?

I'm one of the dummies that half-asleep clicked on the OTA update and am now softbricked. In looking around the potential solution threads I saw that long pressing the notification should dismiss it. Just a warning, I haven't tried fixing my phone as of yet, so I'm not sure if this advice is right.

That sucks. Look for "I softbricked my T-Mobile G3" under the questions thread. I think there's 2 fixes in there if you haven't checked yet. Idk if they'll work for you but worth a try if haven't seen them yet.
I read an adb fix somewhere that supposedly came from the G2 forums that supposedly worked too.
Good luck!
I'm just going to wait to find the location to delete, don't want to try and ling click and some kind of earthquake or something happen and end up just single clicking it. Lol

Yeah I saw the adb fix for the G2 and was hoping to have someone confirm that it is fine for the G3 too. I don't see why it wouldn't be, but I don't want to dig myself into a deeper hole.
Hope you find your answer!

You can freeze Update Center from Titanium Backup and that notification will go away. Forever.

There are 3 tgings for you to freeze
Software Update
Update Center
App Updates
I had the same problem thats a solid fix and should be working on every occasion like that.
Long press on the notification to enter app info and from there turn off notifications
I just use "notification off" app > uncheck googleplayservices > to hide the annoying notification.
Hello, I have this weird thing after trying to update to V30c... I received OTA (~230mb), downloaded and pressed to install but nothing happens, it just reboots the phone without performing the upgrade. So what I did connected it to PC and updated via LG mobile tool don't know why but the size was (1.3GB) unfortunately after upgrading I still receive the notification which I don't need as I already upgraded via PC... Anyone knows how to solve this?
If you're rooted, you can use the 'disableService' app from playstore. Then System / Google Play Services / SystemUpdateService, uncheck it. Problem solved.

Only it doesn't solve the problem. Just froze it with TB, but the notice persists. D851 stock MM V30D rooted. Also have SystemUpdateService disabled via app disableService from playstore, which got rid of the OTA notices for OS versions, but won't disable this compatibility patch notification.
EDIT: Notification gone now, probably had to reboot for it to evaporate.
EDIT2: Came back a day or so later, so that method was a no-go for me. Didn't want to try the long press to see if it could be dismissed via option presented in response to that action

I got the 6.0.1 OTA just now and I'll check once it's installed. Maybe try wiping data and/or cache for it?
UPDATE: Just checked and not an issue for me. Running stock and not rooted... yet.

Just an idea but go to your Developer options then scroll to the very bottom and select Inactive apps. Touch to toggle it for calculator and try again.

Thankyou for the brain storming you guys, still it didnt had any effect.
6p, and I have the same issue.. Strange.
Did you guys flash the update using factory image files or did you flash the actual OTA file? Because I find that flashing files from the factory images to update can cause issues sometimes. The OTA files sometimes have upgrade scripts that may change some things that need to be changed on the /data partition and you wouldn't get those changes if you just flashed the new /system partition.
Last night I was having this issue (as mentioned above). Today, the calculator app opens up just fine. Even more strange...
