[Q] Can't download on Android Market

Hey chaps!
Yesterday, I got me an brand new Xperia Play.
But yesterday evening, I suddenly couldn't download from the android market.
I've tried to clear the cache, removed the updates and installed the whole thing again (I've rebooted after every step).
I tought it was maybe a server error or something like that, but today, I still can't download anything...
The phone got root already and I accidentally removed download.apk from system/apps/
I never remove apps from that folder, so I've moved it to my sd card. When I realised that I was doing it wrong, I placed the apk back and installed it several times...
What can I do now? I really don't want to do a factory reset cause I should have to do everything all over again...
Help me plz!
Greetings,
Sander

need help please...

You don't need to post your IMEI number..
but it would be helpful if we know what are you using for data connection(Wifi, EDGE etc?)

i am using a WIFI connection through my laptop...with the use of connectify..i create a hot spot...
so my samsung galaxy y gt-s5360 can connect...
sorry for posting my imei..

I'm not sure if its a port problem but the best way to verify it is to connect to a router or a different hotspot.
via xda app

but how come..my 2 older brother also has a samsung galaxy y gt-s5360 but they can connect to android market using my created hotspot...while my phone can't?...we all have the same android version 2.3.6

Well you didn't say that when you initially posted your problem and that makes the situation different.
The only thing I can think of is clear data on the market app ang login again.

How about just the Market app only from the Applications menu then look for market and clear data. That should prompt you to sign in when you relaunch Market and prompt you to agree with the agreement terms.
Other than that, you are **** out of luck.

He just said it. He used connectify.

I have no idea about connectify.
I am wondering how you could connect to ad-hoc network.

sh** ill just gonna go to a Samsung store and ask for repair... damn -_-
i have done that i go the Settings>Application>Manage Application>All>Market>Clear Data

Same Here!
Hey! I had the same problem. What I did was I opened Manage Applications from Settings > Applications > Manage Applications. And then I clicked on Market and cleared data. Then (I think so) I clicked on Market Updater and cleared data. I don't think its possible. But the thing is it helped me. And when I started market it was the old 2.1 android layout style which I liked. But it wasn't long before market updater updated the market. At least this is better than my friend's Galaxy Pop because since he has installed the CyanogenMod on his phone, his market and task manager has disappeared. And the joke of the day was that he was searching for Market in the Market!

Download unsuccessful

I'm breaking my cherry here. Long time follower, reader, but never signed up for XDA. Now I need you!
VZW Droid Incredible 2. Stock rom. Rooted. Tried to download a short artistic video from an app I got off of Snappz (not sure if the video is going to internal storage or SD.) Anyways, thing keeps saying 'download unsuccessful.' I don't care about the download anymore. It won't stop trying to download this video. I've tried a reboot, I force stopped the process that I got the artistic video from. Out of ideas. Tried searching google and XDA. No luck. How do I stop this thing?
Edit: Deleted the app that was causing the issue. Don't know why I didn't think of that first.

Try going into downloads and cancelling it? Reboot not stopping it is odd, if that doesn't work kill and clear data on the downloads app.

I could reformat my hard drive and reinstall Windows every time I get some malware too but obviously that's a last resort.
Sent via his noodly appendages

Reflashing a ROM is different than formatting a hard drive , but hey if you can find a solution better than a 5 min reflash cuz I dont know what else you can do to stop the download that won't download, wish I could have been more help

Did you try connecting to wifi to see if it will finish that way? Or if you are on wifi now did you try using the mobile network?

Could be server issues with the app or the app itself. It possibly makes a folder with the app name or something on the SD card that it saves to.

The app says that it saves to SD/downloadmanager. The folder was empty. The app didn't have a folder I could easily identify either. Didn't even think to try uninstalling the app (slaps palm against forehead.) So I did that. We'll see.

EMUI 10 & apks

Greets all,
my Mate 20x came up that there was an update to EMUI 10 so I updated, all went well from what I saw, except now I cant install apks from dropbox, it comes up saying: "please download an app that can open this file". I cant download files from the play store and install, and I have made sure that install from unknown sources was enabled. I also made sure "files" app was set to allowed also. The update version is: 10.0.0.176, and no newer version is coming up. This is the Chinese version AL-00
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Update, seems the only way I can install apps is by using HiSuite at the moment.

btw, new update got pushed for AL00, going from 176 to 185 havent installed it yet though.

No I cant do anything with Dropbox, but I was able to use HiSuite to install apks. And i just got the update you were talking about, installing it now, maybe this will fix the issue with the apks installing from dropbox, cause as the prior user said, I dont want to factory reset and have to put everything back if its not going to work. There is another issue I noticed with the update also, If I go out of Wifi range I lose access to the internet, in other words the cell data doesnt kick in unless I turn off the mobile data and then turn it back on. So far very annoying update. Maybe this 185 can fix these. Here's hoping and trying.

Well the update didnt fix the dropbox issue, tapping on the file prompts the error. so the update didnt fix the problem. I guess when it gets to be a pain either I fix it, install through HiSuite, or factory reset.

thats what u was trying to tell you from the start! use the files app!
im guessing it has to do with system rights to install apk files. even es file explorer pro is not allowed to do it with all permissions given.
