I have an issue where I lose the ability to download my MMS, which are usually just photo messages. I have tried the help from ATT's site where you configure the settings for it to no avail. I was able to get it back by re-flashing and now it had died again.
The symptom, specifically, is that the message will simply never download. I get it, hit download, it goes back to the list and never downloads. If I open the message again the download button is greyed out. I have gotten an "unable to download..." something message but I can't remember the specific text and don't want to mislead anyone. When I see that specific text again I will update the thread so anyone searching for the error message (which I've done) will be able to find the solution that will hopefully arise in this thread.
Has anyone else encountered this issue? I am using the latest Schaps (1 wk old) but it happened with a previous Schaps as well. I honestly can't remember if I've changed something that would have affected it but it's not unlikely as I've been tweaking my phone for the past two weeks since reflashing, but only user settings and not really connection stuff.
And I found a fix by following this thread.
Although the symptoms were not the same it worked like a charm.

If something happens to the post, I will quote VOL22002:
"By the way for anyone else who is still having issues with MMS all you have to do is install the (Arcsoft_MMS_4281.)cab and rerun the Connection setup on your pda that is localed in start/setting/connections and your all set."
The process com.htc.album have experienced an unexpected stop. Please try again.
I get this message (im not sure if its correctly translated from norwegian) when i try to open my photoalbums. I got it on my phone after putting about 15 k pictures on the storagecard. I have no problems viewing and browsing pictures using another app like just pictures!.
I thought it might be something i installed from the market causing the error so i did put my phone back to factory settings. After that when i presset the Photos it started up normally... once... next time a few hours later (havent done anything to the phone in the meantime, litterally havent touched it) and i got the "The process com.htc.album have experienced an unexpected stop. Please try again." error again.. over and over.... There is no corrupt files in the folders, they are only plain and simple JPEG files.
another thing after i set back my factory settings, the weather display under the clock (standard HTC sense "desktop") have stopped giving me its location and is now just saying Currrent location, any reason why that should be?
plz help me
Is anyone aware of or experiencing any problems with the android market?
I'm using a Stock UK Orange ROM. 25mb free internal space. Using Android market I can go through all the motions and tap install I get the message saying my item will be downloaded. The "downloading" bar appears and is animated, This happened last night. This morning the item had downloaded.
I thought that was the end of it but as I write this I've been waiting an hour for a clock widget to download.
Have also tried via appbrain but experience the same problem.
I can watch youtube videos and browse so I am online. Is there a hidden setting I might have misconfigured? or anyone else experiencing the same thing?

Since you have 25MB free, that is peculiar. Typically downloads get stuck in queue when space is low -- in which case you are getting a notification in the Notification Bar that you are "Getting Low on Empty Storage Space". In those cases remedy of course is to uninstall a few apps you rarely use. After you do that, the "Low on Storage Space" icon will clear, and the instant that it does, all of the downloads you had started -- but were all stuck in queue -- will now proceed -- instantly.
But in your case i don't know. Are you for certain NOT getting that icon notification? (just checking that's all)... Then this probably won't solve your case at all. THIS POST: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7663366&postcount=17
No worries.
The only thing in my notification bar is the icon for advanced task killer, and 1 Gmail notification.
I've uninstalled a couple more apps but that still hasn't forced a download. This has only happened in the past couple of days and it crossed my mind that google might have been tinkering, but i've read nothing of the sort.
Just been to the shop and back and in those 5 mins Tajam (the clock widget from my OP) has downloaded... I've just added a pinball game, but it hasn't downloaded...
Is it at all possible that an application has reserved space? As in I might have 25mb free but some app has reserved some of the free space on my handset?
Nobody else had this issue then?
Any thoughts on a solution? would a hard reset solve this?
Try to:
- start your google-talk-app
- use the menu-button to open the menu and sign-out!
- restart the google-talk-app
- use the menu-button to open the menu and sign-out!
usually, after the 2nd or third time you do that, the download-process begins...
edit: you should notice that the log-in-process of the google-talk-app takes some time, seeing the spinning wheel-symbol on the top-right... just ignore it, start the app, wait 5 seconds and sign-out, repeat...
Thanks for the reply but I dont have google talk installed.
I'm thinking a hard reset might be my only option but it's a pain, and now difficult to download any backup software.
Found this thread http://www.google.tm/support/forum/p/Android+Market/thread?tid=57b5e3efa7477b50&hl=en
Started by a google employee, subsequently locked. Seems to be a recurring problem
I've the same issue, cancel/abort the download and start it again fixes the issue
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Hey,
I suffered from the same issue...
I literally tried every in the book but to no avail!
Eventually I had to add a file manager into a rom in order to manually download the apps from the internet and then install them onto my desire!
This is a repeat issue with the Android OS. It does go away after a while... Give it a day or two and it'll just literally stop with the issues.
Good luck friend
I had this issue last week and tried every trick I could to get things working again, even a hard/factory reset didn't work. From reviewing the thread you quoted from the Google support forums I got the impression that it was a Google account problem of some sort so before doing a second factory reset I changed from @googlemail to @gmail and for whatever reason after the hard reset this has done the trick.
Yes, I am having the same problem too and only started couple days ago... I can't download anything at the moment
Still no market downloads
After the froyo update for me, there's still no way
to update or download apps from the market.
I tried all the options now known:
Gtalk
Cache clearing
Factory reset
Etc.
What to do next???
I checked a few places and this seems to be a common problem. One thread on the market forums was started by a google employee, 400+ replies later the thread was marked as answered (which it clearly wasnt) Now the forums are becoming littered with posts on this same problem.
I've managed to sort it out. Settings>apps>market>clear cache>force close market>soft reset seemed to force any pending downloads.
But that wasnt really a solution, so had to export contacts to gmail. Change my googlemail account to a gmail account (as prompted when you login to Gmail in the UK.... then I had to perform a hard reset and make my Gmail account the primary google account on my handset.
Very annoying, and I'm in disbelief that google are SO aware of this and dont seem to be offering any help.
But for the time being it's working again. The suggestion on the market help forums is that the UK market is having problems with @googlemail accounts.
Well i never had the googlemail adress and i'm not from the UK, so there's more to
it then only that specific problem....
Pls advice....
None of the great developers here has an idea what's happening here or maybe a solution to this issue????
Pls help out guys?
Guys please advice, i'm just a bit desperate with this issue.
Nothing seems te help and google stays as silent that i lost faith they are going
to fix this....
Does this mean my DESIRE became useless??!??!?!
It's a bit temperamental to be honest, I left it at 'Starting Download' and sometimes it would start after a few hours and another time after about a day. Never used to be like this before. Google need to seriously take a look at this problem.
Sadly my downloads all just end in "failed" within 5 secs....
Had Problems downloading for a month
Hi All,
I have had this problem for about a month now. Never starts to download for me except if I do a factory reset then it downloads some apps between 3 and 22 apps before it hangs again. The phone is a Samsung Galaxy s I9000. Unlocked. I tried different SIM cards from different carriers and removing the SD memory. I can download from different places on the web like Samsung or one of the web sites that have the apps just not the market.
Has anyone else been having this problem for that long?
Regards

Same here. I usually leave the downloads "hanging" around. After 10 min. to a few hours, the downloads start.
Same with "Chrome to phone". Both apps use the GTalk service to send commands to the phone. Google broke something.

No i have not, im unrooted so i cannot search thru files in order to delete the root directory of these,
i should make a note on this as i think the cause was a app called ANDROID DEFRAG, <--- i recommend staying away from that app.
i tried loading a few of the pics via sharing / open with messaging app and a few showed.
all the details for the pics are there except for ORIENTATION which shows ZERO .
none of these pics show in connection to pc either cannot locate the files, like to edit them to try and make them appear but at this point a way to delete the files would suffice!
I've been looking around this forum ever since I got my phone last year. It's always been helpful. Now, I am looking for more help.
I live in Toronto and my carrier is Rogers. I have the AT&T LG G3 D850 unlocked. I bought it second hand on eBay. The first thing I did when I got it was did a factory reset.
The first problem I noticed when I first got it was that the contacts list duplicated every time I opened it. I think it might be copying the contacts from my SIM card each time I opened the contacts? I don't know. I soon downloaded an app (Contacts+) to call people. Another reason was because every time I opened my contacts, the AT&T address book popped up. It didn't create much problem, but it was a very annoying. I soon just got used to using Contacts+.
The phone hasn't given me much problem since until recently. I realized I had no idea how to update my android version. It is still running 4.4.2. I did a bit of research and the words "rooting" and "flashing" got my head spinning. I tried to understand myself, but I just don't understand how to update my android or if I even can.
The thing that made me realized that this is a problem that I can't live with is my phone calls and text messages are causing problems. It's getting harder to open to my messages. It loads a long time and sometimes freezes. Sam with my calls. Dialing out or receiving causes my phone to freeze up. Sometimes waiting works. Sometimes I need to restart my phone. Sometimes I have to wait a bit to be able to restart my phone. I am getting popups when I browse the internet, so maybe I got a virus? I do have AVG and Avast on my phone though.
Then there are the few more minor things. My camera seems to take lower quality pictures as compared to when I first got it. My screen seems to be getting less responsive and seems to be dimmer. Phone seems to be warmer than before, but that could just be me. Android File Transfer no longer seems to work, but I assume it has something to do with my calls and messages not working.
What I am asking for is some knowledgeable and patient people to help me optimize my phone. I really don't know where to start. Reading newbie tips get me more confused sometimes. Please help. If this is not the place for this, please move it there or please let me know to delete it. Thanks in advance.
For the contacts problem, you can go to contacts > settings > display options > and then select the contacts you want to be displayed so there aren't any duplicates left.
Also installing two antivirus programs will cause malfunctioning on the phone. So if I were you I should uninstall one of them. If it keeps running slow you should factory reset the phone and try again
You should be able to go into software updates and click update device. It should show several firmware updates because 4.4.2 was quite a while ago. Have a look for that option.
There is no need to root in order to update your phone. Just follow these steps and it will do it all automatically.
If you go to settings, and you stock can get the updates, The easiest way to get your phone updated its using a pc and install the LG suite. You will connect the phone and if detected it will pop the updates.
