Just got the phone today, have an issue with the market. Every app I try to download, fails, says thatcdownload was not successful. Any ideas? Anybody else having problems? Also, if I try and do factory data reset, it fails as well.
Odd man, no issue here... sorry I cant offer anything up.
no everything ok here but i do have an isue with Google GPS on the maps??
no problems with market either.
My Market keeps losing connection every now and then.
Market works fine for me as well tho on occasion it takes a little while to load the "services description" after hitting install on an application.
I had no problems what so ever with the market before i rooted the phone
^ that makes it sound like you have an issue AFTER rooting? But you did not explain.... so I assume you do not have an issue?

Haven't rooted it yet even. I'm thinking something wrong with the rom on my phone. Am at the gym now, was going to go to the store and try to get a replacement after.
Just picked up a brand new vibrant and I'm having market issues. Unsuccessful downloads. NO root BTW. Some apps initially installed but now it doesn't work anymore despite several reboots

Correct. I was chiming in that I had no issues until I changed something.

Just came back from Tmobile. Got a replacement, tested market at the store and updated maps and installed Pandora with no issues. Drove home, issue came back! Blenheim, it is not my phone, something is going on here!

spoke to the folks over at tmobile611 and they said that since our plans get 'reset' when buying a new phone, such issues are possible. they advised the usual 48hr period to see if the problem goes away.
interestingly, my 3g works for web browsing and everything else. its only the market that's having an issue, even over WiFi.

Unlikely, I paid full retail as I am on even more plus and I'm not even the primary on my account. My gf got the slide last week, she hasn't had any problems like this.
I fixed it!!! Not sure which one of the things did it, but here is what I've done!
A) in settings, manage apps, clear cache for market AND market updater AND download manager. I also force stopped them all!
B) under settings, manage networks, switched to 2g only for 39 seconds, then unchecked the box again. After, I went ahead and searched for networks and hit select automatically.
Then bow market is working, knock on the wood!

interesting.. i put my SIM back in my mytouch3g and the market worked just fine (after it prompted me to enter my password again).
put the SIM back in the Vibrant, entered market, input password on being asked, and AGAIN NO DOWNLOADS!

Danger, I'm sorry, that's what I've done and it still is working. Annoying issue for sure, if I find anything else, I will post it here. Maybe somebody else has a better solution?
I am having problems with my market as well and the above suggestion didn't help. Suck!
the advice given to me over in the root your vibrant thread was to sign into google talk first, then open the market. It works, most of the time, although the majority of the time it doesnt install the first time and I have to hit retry once or twice. But it does work.
I need some help.
For some reason now Slacker stops a song midway or 3/4th's of the way through the song for no reason whatsoever.
This happens every song on be it on Edge or 3g.
I dont think it's a data connection problem becasue Pandora works like it should and when Slacker stops the song.....you can still click on the album and lyrics/review still show up not to mention when you click skip I do NOT get a lost skip so it stays on 6.
Any help on what I should do cause I use it for working out and its annoying to have to stop skip stop skip stop skip.
I got the same issue. Started just about 2 weeks ago. Stops for no reason at all. I have emailed slacker but havent heard back.

IF you hear anything back please reply in the thread...I tried deleting and re-installing but still has same effect.
bump for answers because its getting annoying.
Not great news I am afraid. Here is the response I got from support:
"Response (Frank S.)
This is a known issue. We expect this to be fixed later on, though we don't have an estimated time of repair yet. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience."
If anybody figures anything out, Id appreciate it.
Thank you for the response...but known issue?
How would one go about having it work for more then 5 months to suddenly having this happen? I hope they fix it soon...and thank you for the response.
Yea I noticed it a little while back too, seems to be a problem with the new update that was implemented not too long ago. Hopefully they will fix this soon, time will tell.
How often is this happening to you guys? I haven't used Slacker too much for a couple months (just used it occasionally, and haven't noticed the issue). But I just tried it for an hour to test your issue. It only did this twice in an hour. Both times it was just with a few seconds left in the song, and skipping to the next song worked.

For me, it happens in every song, no matter the station, at around 1:20-2:30.

For me , it happens with every song NO MATTER the time of day.
I went from pandora to slacker and have been using slacker for maybe 5 months without any problem...NOW every song I play stops 3/4's of the way. No matter what I do to try to play the song it doesnt go and then I have to skip. When I do skip it doesnt take away a skip...like I will always be on 6 the entire time.
Happens with me as well. Noticed it about a month ago or so. I thought maybe it was a weak WiFi connection at first, but the phone wasn't dropping it when the song would stop. It seems to to only deduct your skip count when you legimately skip if a song is still playing and hasn't stopped on it's own. I've also noticed in some cases (songs for me sill stop randomly, sometimes after only 30 seconds) that they will go back to the beginning and then I can play them all the way through without issue.

I meant it stops between 1:20-2:30 in the song (as in after about 2 minutes of playing) lol it happens all day but it also takes away my skips...works flawlessly when i boot android and use the android version
How many of you with the Slacker issue are on ATT? At least one of you is, and one person on the Energy ROM with the same issue was also on ATT That guy commented it worked fine on WiFi, which is an indication it might be an issue with the ATT proxy. Have you disabled the ATT proxy?
Im on ATT using Cell Pro. How do you disable the proxy?
I am on stock T-mo.
I do agree with someone on here though...around the 2 minute or 2:30 the song stops havent had but the occasional song pass 3.
AT&T here as well, and it happens with me on WiFi. In fact, it seems to run smoother when on 3G data network, so it's definitely not a proxy issue I don't think...
I'm on AT&T and wifi works fine for me, the songs only stop when it's using 3G or edge networks

On the stock ROM, its at Start>Tools>Proxy Manager, but I don't know where it is on Cell Pro.
You can also search for the .cabs on these forums. The following is for the old Tilt, but it SHOULD work:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1938129&postcount=13
But the posts above from a T-Mob user, and another that has the issue over WiFi seems to debunk my theory about the TT proxy. Although, IMO, its worth a try, as it doesn't hurt to disable the ATT proxy. The only "harm" it does is makes you unable to access some specific ATT internet services, like the Media Mall. But in my eyes, that's a "pro", not a "con"!

Downloaded the cab in your post and I actually got through 2 full songs! It's still playing so I'll report back if anything else happens. I admittedly didn't test it beforehand so Slacker could have coincidentally fixed something between the last time I tried and this time.
I wasn't really expecting it to work since I know a bunch of t-mobile users have the same problem since I've been monitoring a thread on the t-mobile forums but I'm glad I got seamless streaming again! Someone else post up if theirs is working with or without the proxy disable.
If it is from the proxy disable, then thanks redpoint
EDIT: Played for a half hour straight without a hiccup, so I soft reset the phone and tried again and seems to be working fine still. So for me, as far as I'm concerned, the problem no longer exists

Worked today for me as well so I think Slacker fixed something. I will hold judgment till Sunday night and then have someone close this thread.
Hi guys, I am having a problem with downloading apps through cellular data on my mytouch 4g. I can download them fine if I am on wifi but it gets stuck on "starting download" progress bar without it. I've tried clearing the data for the market app, restoring it back to factory, and the google talk sign in; none of these worked for me. This is driving me crazy and any help would be greatly appreciated.
Update: Fixed nvm
How did you fix it?
yeah how you fixed it would be nice as mine is doing the same thing... ugh wish t-mo could have just brought a legit phone out
Turn On Wifi
Even if there is no wifi connection, on my MT4G the wifi has to be enabled for the market to download.
I think this may be fixed on the new update that came out today. I still haven't seen my update yet. :-( mine still does this too.

Go into settings/wireless networks/mobile network or operator and select Tmobile network. Even it is checked select it and make sure your phone is gsm/wcdma checked. WCDMA only created problem for me. Also if you have temp root you will not get the update as long as it is running on your phone. In addition, if you disabled any bloatware you have to restore it before the update. Once I disabled Visionary and restored back to factory I got the update in a couple of hours.
This is a really weird problem but it has to do something with the connection to the google servers (mainly google talk). This is evident by the fact that you are signed off and can not connect to google talk when you're stuck on the starting download phase of downloading the app(s). There are two ways around this problem that I've seen so far
1. Before you want to download an app, run google talk and make sure you're signed in, then sign out and sign in again. Go download the app(s) afterwards. Once you do this after you first power on the phone, it should last until you power it off.
2. Another way is go and try to download an app(s) you want and it will be stuck on the starting download bar. DO NOT cancel the download, just restart the phone and it should start downloading once the phone is back on.
P.S. The update did not fix this issue because I still have to deal with it.
If I learn anything new, I will keep you posted.

I got the update with Superuser and root just fine.
Not to rub it in, but I'm really glad that I am not experiencing this problem. I'm liking the phone too much to have a reason to bring it back!
Ok I have found out that the Google talk sign out sign in trick does not always work while the restarting one always works. It definitely is something to do the Google servers and the way the phone syncs with them. What I found interesting is that when you open the market app, immediately experience this problem as you can not sync under accounts settings and services like Google talk stop working. Another thing is that it seems to be the HSPA and HSPA+ connections causing the issue, the apps won't dl on them but it will start immediately as your phone drops to edge. I don't know if this is a hardware, software issue with the phone or the Google servers getting adjusted to the mytouch 4gs since they just came out.
Think I'm going to exchange my phone since not a lot of people have this problem.
Sorry to bring up an old thread but i'm now having this issue aswell. I've tried to clear data, can't download on Wifi or 3g. When i click ok it just says the download will be started and nothing happens, Sometimes if i play around i can get it to go to say starting download but just sits there then i will get either a network error to retry or cancel. Sometimes it's just a download unsuccessful and i click ok.
I tried resetting aswell and still same issue. Not sure how to sign out of google talk.. haven't quit got the hang of android yet but i'm actually not happy right now!
Hello,
Lately I have been unable to send or receive text messages that contain pictures or videos. The error message is always the same "National access coverage not available."
I called Verizon, on Thursday of last week (1-13), and the technician was unable to figure out the problem. He escalated it to the next level and said that someone would be contacting me in a day or 2. Well it's now Wednesday (1-19) of the following week and so far, nothing!
Has anyone else run into this problem? If so, what's the fix? Any help would be appreciated, especially since Verizon has been no help at all!
I'm using a Moto Droid2 ver, 2.3.2 Rooted and OC'd @ 2.25Ghz
Thanks,
Scott

Thanks for the reply.
Unfortunately, it didn't work. I updated it waited the 15 minutes. When it didn't work I rebooted the phone figuring maybe it needed to be refreshed or something, (long time windows tech, reboot fixes everything!) but still nothing. Just that same message.
I get the exact same error when sending or receiving MMS 50 percent of the time with the first initial try... *228 does not fix this.. verizon cannot fix it either...
OK, got tired of waiting for Verizon to call back. On the phone with 2nd tier support now for about the last hour, so far nothing.
Mine started doing that on mms after using juice defender app and I had to do a factory reset to fix it.
OK, got finished with the Verizon tech, who was very helpful, but we still could not resolve the issue.
She removed and reloaded my data from the server, switched me to another IP address and did a few other behind the scenes things but nothing worked. She suggested doing the factory reset, but I'm ready to give up troubleshooting this issue yet. If all else fails, then I guess I will have no other option.
Since sending MM text's in not a huge part of what I use my phone for, I may just wait for the next release of the software and hope that fixes it.
In the mean time I'll just keep playing with settings and searching Google and the message boards in the hope that someone can come up with a fix that doesn't involve having to wipe it.

I used to use that app, but removed it long before this started happening. I wonder if it left behind some orphan files that are somehow in there wreaking havoc?
Since the problem still existed even running the phone in safe mode, I would think that would not be the case, but anythings possible.
my phone does the same thing with same message... if i try again to download message it will usually come through, but if it happens on outgoing message it will never go through

That's the thing. Since so many people are having the same or similar issue, I just find it hard to believe it's not something on Verizon's side or with their software. This many people screwing up their phone's in the exact same way all around the same time just seem a little suspect to me.
Mine happened 6 months ago. Just reset it and see what happens. All your apps with reinstall by themselves.

Yeah, I guess I'm going to have to try something. I want to make a nandroid backup first just to be safe and then I'll give it a shot.
Thanks.
This is great!
So, I just finished the factory reset (which DID fix the problem) and was starting to configure all my custom settings when the Verizon tech I spoke with called me back. She said that she had just spoken to Motorola and they said it was a known problem with their phones! They are not sure what it is yet, but they are working on it. In the mean time, the only thing they can suggest is to reset the phone as a work around!
I asked the Verizon tech if there was any kind of documentation about this that she could send me, but of course there isn't. And there's also nothing on the Motorola site about the error either, at least nothing I could find.
While it doesn't make the situation go away, it does make me feel better knowing what the root of the problem is, sort of. Only problem is, there is no guarantee that it won't happen again.
i turn airplane mode on then off... works for me
Im having the same problem. I even reflashed to stock motorola, still does it. I noticed if i hold down on failed pics or tap download a few times it works. The problem seems to be triggering the data on and off from the send button.

Yes, I had heard that worked for some people, and I did try that but it still didn't work. Even so, that would only be a work around and not really fixing the issue.

Interesting, since I did the factory rest I haven't had a problem. If it happens again, I'll be sure to check that.
Im looking for fixes for my issues with the DVP.
First off I have 2 apps that wont download or update. I have an ilomilo update will not update unless using the wifi or connecting to the PC. The sims 3 is the same way. Trying to use wifi doesnt work and tends to lock up and needs a battery pull. Connecting to the PC doesnt do anything and havent figured out to sync apps doing so without buying from the marketplace from the PC.
Lately I have been witness some lag and hesitation for some reason, not sure if its going between 3g and Edge. But today i noticed it bad and was wondering if there is any fix for this. To further explain my situation i may be texting a message and it takes about 5 seconds for the first letter to come up then its fine. Not sure if anyone else has witnessed this issue. I cycled the phone off then on and hoped this fixed it. Havent really witnessed it after that.
Is their any fix for my issues I really need my apps to download and clear off because i paid for the Sims 3 and havent even played it yet.
i'd contact Dell and request a replacement, your phone shouldn't lock up when WIFI is enabled, it could be a hardware issue.
im on the phone with Dell now, I told him to send me a replacement.
But he also said Dell is working on an update to fix the WIFI issue whih is suppose to be released this Month.
Lets see if they actually replace my device or deny me, the guy said he had to talk to his manager
Well I figured out one of my problems but its still a problem they have to fix. I found out I cant let the phone sleep while trying to update apps or download big apps over WIFI. Weird, but thats the only way i could download stuff that was in quen

That seems to be a common issue. If I let my phone go into standby while installing an app it will often not come out of sleep.
exactly what i was running into. They need to fix that, i dont want to keep my screen active while while the app downloads
