Market "Download paused" message

The last it happened it turned out to be issue with the Market itself, but now no one is taking about it and I have not been able to get any updates or download anything from the Market for days.
I've tried every suggestion I came across to no avail; clearing cache, data in any app that seems to have anything to do with downloading from the Market, logging in/out/in to GTalk, downgrading the Market app to stock. Nothing works, and it all started happening out of the blue; no problem one day, and the next day the Market doesn't work no matter what.
I don't remember making any changes to the phone, it's been setup a while ago and running to my satisfaction, except for one thing; some days before the Market stopped working I started noticing that my battery wasn't holding up as well as it used to, but I don't know it this has anything to do with the matter at hand. I'm on a rooted 2.2.1 (mistakenly) released by US TMo with a Go Launcher EX.
So, is it me and my phone, or something outside of my doing. I would hate to do a factory reset, so would anyone have a better plan of action.
Thanks

Thanks, but no change.

I don't know how to say in English. In Chinese, in the settings that have a setting call 資料節省模式.If you tick it, you can't download anything in market.

I find the English name now.
It call data saver in the data manager.

Is this happening over wifi and 3G?

I've the same issue.
It comes out on wifi only.

In the American ROM there are three settings in the Data Manager under Data Delivery; Background Data, Data Roaming, and Data Enabled. I guess the closest would be the last one and it pertains to having data enabled over mobile network. All but the roaming were enabled.
@scrannel: It was happening in both, mobile and WiFi.
Thanks guys, frustrated, I ended up doing a factory reset and restore after all. Now my battery use is back to normal (i.e. excellent) too.
Drat, things (software settings) are fragile; falling apart under normal use.

I am experiencing the same problem. Tried a lot of methods like clearing cache and all but nothing worked.
Everytime I start a download it says 'downloading' for a few seconds and then says 'download paused' and remains there.
This issue is on wifi only, and happened out of the blue yesterday. On my 3g data connection the apps download just fine.
What can I do?

I am having the same problem with downloads from the market, but only on 3g. Everything is fine on WiFi. 99/100 times, an App will take forever to download on 3g, pausing 5-10x during the process. This has been going on since Friday I believe. I have switch roms, complete data wipe, formatted my memory card, deleted .android-secure on teh SD card, nothing helps.
I don't know if its the 3g network or what, but it's really starting to aggravate me

Settings -> Data manager -> Data Saver -> untick "Enable Data Saver" should do the trick

Data Saver off wouldn't help those of us who got "WiFi-exclusive" Market stucks.
Worse yet, sometimes at certain WiFi networks (for example those they give at Starbucks) it works just fine, stuff downloads in huge chunk (from waiting list). Then on other WiFi it wouldn't work.
I even tried it at home WiFi spot with all firewall offline, and still no cigars - "paused".

My market suddenly started working again, but now after a few days it says 'downloads paused' again..
What is happening!

i had the same problem with my stock 2.2.1 defy (but in my case the market got stuck on the old version and wouldnt even update itself). the only thing that helped was doing a factory reset from recovery, and now everything works fine. but afaik there's an app backup option (only in 2.2), so if you do a factory reset you can have most of your apps installed in a minute from backup. good luck!

downloading
Even i am having the same problem when ever it paused like that i will open android market and it will download automatically again try to do like that.

SPRINT SG3 tether not working

I haven't used my tether for a few days now, but I know it was working fine before the last update. I'm rooted and running LG2. Im using wifi tether for root. It starts fine and says it is running, but it's not broadcasting. Even I try to do a manual connection to the SSID it wont connect. I didn't think that last update changed anything with that, but like I said, It worked fine before that.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!

Edit: sorry saw the last sentence saying you were rooted, my bad. Do you plug your phone in when running it? For some reason wifi turns on when you plug the phone in.. And that can mess with tether. I usually plug in, reboot (its fast enough lol) then run tether, which will take over the wifi feed on its own.
Did you have root after the update? If you're rooted, you have to wait for a rooted update to come out on here. Otherwise, an OTA update can mess that up. Not sure if that's the case here but thought you'd like a quick reply..

NP....I am plugged in, but the wifi says it is off. I turned the wifi on and I get the "what the hell" mesage, then I turn it back off and start root again and still get the same results. I will try rebooting the phone and see if that helps. Thanks!
EDIT: Sorry....I meant I start tether again....not root!

OK so the reboot didn't help, but unplugging my phone did. If I start the tether with my phone unplugged it works, but it stops working as soon as I plug it in again. So now how do I fix that? LOL! Thanks for the help though....at least it will work until the battery dies!!

Yeah, something with hooking the charger up is a mess, and it's a bit of trial and error, it might take more than one reboot while hooked up. What you might want to do now, if you're off battery, is turn off tether, plug in the charger, wait like 3 seconds, then re-activate tether to get it to control wifi again?

Try going into settings in WiFi Tether and changing Device Profile to Samsung Galaxy Nexus (CDMA/LTE). Then while still in settings hit menu and (Re)-Install binaries/configs. Worked for me. Only difference is I'm on Verizon but that shouldn't matter. :good:

Any luck, Karma?

I am able to get it to work by jumping through all the unplug/replug disable/reenable hoops......but then the tether just stops running automatically after like 10-15 mins..... I just read about the power save settings so I turned that off and I'm going to try that now and see what happens.
Thx portrub! That is the profile I am using, but I havent tried reloading binaries. I'll give that a shot too!
Thx for all the help guys!
UPDATE: Ugh....no luck. The wifi still shuts off automatically........it's really hard to play D3 while im at work when I keep losing connection!! LOL!!

I tried doing this and it stayed running about twice as long, but it still automatically shuts off.......a step in the right direction though! Thanks!!

Hey any luck Karma? I have the same issue...its driving me crazy..it just drops the connection after 10-15 minutes and i have to manually restart constantly.

Try bluetooth tether instead, that's what I am using for my N7

My wifi tether is still turning off when pluggin in power and after about 15 - 20 mins of use. Any suggestions? I've tried all these things and none work.
I have 2 GS3s, both stock rooted to get the wifi tether working and this is only happening on one of them.

OK not for nothing but I can't even get this to work at all is there a update for the app ?

Getting No 3G/4G.

Hi,
It started yesterday afternoon, I am not getting any 3G/4G signal on my Note 2. I thought it maybe a "Sprint tower down" problem but when I got home my wifes (unrooted) phone had no issues. I've tried turning airplane mode on/off, restarting and pulling the battery. Nothing worked.
Late last night I got 4G back and I thought everything was ok. But this morning it was back to no data.
My Mobile network settings:
Data enabled (checked)
Network mode: CDMA+LTE/EVDO
When I go to Network operators it gives me "error when searching for networks" and Sprint is not on there.
When I press "choose automatically" it just sits there saying "automatic registration.
I'm on ParanoidAndroid version 3.99-RC2
Kernel: 3.0.64-CM-gbc8f4c9
PRL # 55015
Before I flash back to stock does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Randy

Have you tried changing your prl back to 2000 then change to cdma only if that doesnt work change to automatic. I had that problem and this is how I fixed it

I was thinking of that. But I wasn't quite sure how to do it on a AOSP rom. It's easy on a touchwiz.
I ended up factory reseting and flashing back to the previous version of the PA rom. It's working for now. Maybe just a bug in RC2?
Thanks for the suggestion.

Not sure how well this works with Rooted phones, but try updating your data profile in Setting>System Update. If that doesn't do it try dialing ##72786# and let it go through SCRTN. Again, not sure what effect this will have on a rooted phone, but it's worth a shot. If all else fails call customer care and have them refresh SPS, GEMALTO, and OMA in that order.

Hmmm, I just tried it on mine, but it didn't work either... I wonder if it's because it's a non TW rom, and maybe the TW roms have it built in by samsung for sprint. I'm getting ready to flash back to a TW rom, I'll report back with details, for science.
Edit: For science. Flashed digiblur, tested SCRTN, it worked. HFA, PRL update, all ok, phone rebooted and works without issue. So, if you are keeping score, SCRTN works in TW roms, but not AOSP, or so it seems.

If you guys can, back up your current AOSP build and flash a stock one click. Current "safe" PRL is 2006 so once you get on you'll probably get that pushed to your device. Bet that will fix your problems. Then simply restore your AOSP backup.

Exclamation mark on wifi and cell signal

So after rooting and installing latest Cataclysm (Jan 6th update) with ElementalX I get this exclamation mark on my cell signal and wifi.
When that happens, I can use Facebook, Whatsapp, Youtube and I am able to make calls, texts, etc. What I can't do is load any page that isn't a google page on my browser. Also, I can't load anything on my Reddit app that isn't a text thread. Images, videos and anything external in general, won't load.
When I restart my phone, everything works fine. As soon as I lose signal or turn airplane mode on/off, it appears and I can't get rid of it.
I tried:
Resetting my APN settings.
Reinserting my SIM.
Changing preffered network to 2G/3G/LTE.
Resetting network settings.
Flashing ROM again.
Flashing original EFS again.
Wiping cache/dalvik.
I have no idea what to do or what is causing this issue.
Please help.

Go back to stock ROM and see if it happens there, if it does it's a carrier issue if it doesn't it's likely a bug with the ROM/Kernel you are using.

What carrier are you on? Have you check and/or re-verify those APN settings ? Next time this happen, turn on Airplane mode for 15 or 30 seconds, then turn it off again - do you have a decent cellular signal ?
I'm running PureNexus with EX rom and it's fine, solid (and stronger) signal on T-Mobile vs. N5 used by spouse.

Im not from the US or something popular but trust me I verified my APN settings.

ideaman924 said:
I saw it sometimes on my custom ROMs, nothing to worry about though.
If you enabled data and you don't get the LTE sign, then try going into the Hidden menu and setting LTE to automatic. I forgot the hidden code though, can somebody else supply it? Alternatively, you can go inside settings>others>network>apn and check the apn, then go out and change the option to LTE (recommended) or something
