Every time I download ANY file (.zip .apk .rar etc...) from my phone, it comes up 'FAILED'. It will start the download fine and even download it to 99% but after that, it fails.

Anyone else having this problem? I have unknown sources box checked. Still no luck.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Try clearing the download manager data, someone posted this before and I believe that was the fix
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mr. Poppalopolis:
Hope that works since I have this problem a lot. I thought it just depended on the site you download from.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] porfymartinez:
Didn't work for me. By clearing, what do you mean?

It happens to me to. I keep clicking the link and it finally does it right. But I'm not downloading very large files. That would be frustrating to go to 99% and then drop.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anton2009:
I had the same problem. But what fixed it for me was clearing Download Manager and Downloads as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] porfymartinez:
Downloads on SD cards also?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anton2009:
No... not deleting Downloads on SD card. Just deleting the "cached" downloads in the Downloads app. So that when you enter your Downloads app it says "No Downloads." Downloads and Download Manager are right next to each other in Manage Apps. Just clear data for both.

[Motorola Photon 4G] shabbypenguin:
ok so look i know this is an app, but lets be honest how many of you actually go in that sub forum? :P

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.foxfi

foxfi is a new wifi tether app that promises no root required, is free, and claims to have a fairly high rate of allowing tablets to connect. saw it in the e4gt forums and figured you guys might like to know ;). it claims most moto phones, gf is on hers so i cant verify if photon is one of them :/...

edit: ok just tested, tethered my e4gt to my gf's photon XD

no hacks or nothing needed we are both unrooted stock, it didnt like trying to tether with 4g tho, so its 3g speeds only :/

my gf's photon is stock 198_7, works fine... as for if sprint knows i guess we will find out when our next bill comes huh? :P
[Motorola Photon 4G] KSmithInNY:
I tried it on a photon running 198-7, flashed fresh this afternoon, rooted, unlocked bootloader with CWM applied. No go. FoxFi appears to initiate the stock hotpot app which in turn results in the IP registration error you get when launching the stock app. Tried with wifi on, but not connected, and with wifi off both suggested as troubleshooting steps by FoxFi.

Curious what others are experiencing using a blur rom
[Motorola Photon 4G] shabbypenguin:
yea it will give taht error, but from what ive seen let it sit for 3-4 mins and it will finally re-register :)

My Photon

I have also made the connection on my Photon at 3g speeds. Is there anything at all that can be done to make it work at 4G speeds. My 4G does not disconnect when I am using it as a mobile hotspot. It appears that it is the FoxFi app and not the actual phone causing this issue.
[Motorola Photon 4G] eoterm:
Moto Photon Foxfi only in 3G mode and Alternative 4G tethering

I too believe that it is FoxFi that is causing the disconnection in the 4G signal when trying to activate it on the Motorola Photon (MB855). An alternative would just to grab your USB cable connect your laptop directly to your phone and get PdaNet app (I know this works on Windows with an Android Phone) and you can connect to the 4G. (with great speed too, I have gotten 1+ MB/s downstream) It's not wireless but at least it won't kill your battery and you can charge your phone at the same time! :D

And if you feel bad because all your friends stare you down because you are the only one connected you can get Virtual Router from codeplex website and you can turn your laptop into a hotspot

hopefully there will be a fix or a different application that does not require root

feel free to pm me with suggestions or questions

Come on guys. It takes just as long to answer the guy and get him outta here than it does to be funny. There's nothing wrong with opening an old thread if it has to do with what they are asking. There's enough repeat threads here over the same stupid ICS crap we don't need another pointless thread about an issue with foxfi for his photon when he did his research and found this old thread. Thank the guy for asking his question here and not starting another thread for the question.

[Motorola Photon 4G] dsims7_2000:
I wanted to give a quick update. It works as stated, I think that password crap was because of my home wireless network (which I did put that in, Oh well!)

Tell him to move over some apps from phone storage to his internal mass storage.

that's lame. if i were to root his phone and install a different ROM, would a ROM with apps2sd resolve this issue completely? thanks

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hp79:
I just received my new Galaxy Note international version. I bought it from Amazon, and it was listed as 1 year US Warranty, now they changed the title to International Warranty. The seller is "WorldWide Distributors", and they said it has a 1 year international warranty, but has no US warranty.

Anyways, when I opened up the box, there was only one sticker on the bottom of side of the box, so I didn't have to tear off any stickers to open it. Inside, the phone had some fingerprints, and I noticed that maybe the seller just checked it out before sending it to me.

After searching for rooting, I learned that there is a "custom binary download" counter so I stopped and just decided to use stock rom for now without root. Then I found out when I did "vol- home power" to go into odin mode, it shows "Custom binary download: yes (1 counts)", with "samsung official". Does this mean the phone was flashed by somebody and it is a used phone?

The seller charges 15-20% restocking fee if I want to return it, and the warranty part is really fishy. I already ordered the $1.50 usb thingy that resets the counter, so I'm not really that concerned, but it's just that I feel bad for paying $660 for a supposedly a brand new phone when in fact it might be a used one.

Some more information:

Android version: 2.3.6

Baseband: N7000XXLA4

Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-N7000XXLA4-CL886827 se.infra@SEP-74#2

Build number: GINGERBREAD.XXLA4

Now, my 5 hours usage review--

I feel the phone is slow. Maybe I feel this way because I had a Nexus S with custom ICS ROM (1.2GHz OC, single core). It feels like I came back to Windows XP from Windows 7. Everything is kind of sluggish, and I have ADW launcher with minimal effects. There are no updates for the ROM when I checked, so I think it's most up to date. The screen is kind of ugly too because the damn pentile shiity thing. One thing I didn't like about the Nexus S was the pentile screen, and now Galaxy Note is kind of the same way when I make the letters appear small. Of course, this can be overcomed by using larger fonts since Note has a larger screen. On the back where the battery is, manufacture date is Feb 2012. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Quadrant scores 3598. Reviewing pictures in QuickPic is very sluggish (maybe from the high res screen?).

I hope ICS will solve the performance issues.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mister_Mxyzptlk:
Okay. You've got a used Note. If you purchased via Amazon, you won't have to pay a restocking fee. The bottom line is that you paid for one thing and received something else. Amazon has you covered. The seller can't do anything about that.

Second, if you'd quit reading text on your Note with a magnifying glass, it would look fine. If you're not using a magnifying glass, then the only reason you know it's a Pentile® display is because you read it somewhere. All text looks like crap when it's so small that each letter is rendered by a whopping two pixels. An RGB stripe won't look any better.

Bend the seller over. Get yourself a new Note... and just enjoy it!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hp79:
Thanks for your reply! So, +1 on the count means it is a definitely a used?

The Pentile is noticeable, and I learned this word after searching for why the text is not so clear when I had Nexus S. It's not because I read it from somewhere.

The black text on white background is not as sharp as I want it to be. The small text on webpages or even thin black lines are not made of clear lines. That's how I know it's Pentile display. Actually, it was confirmed after searching about it.

Compare this with any other regular LCD display, or iphone4 or ipod touch 4th gen, and you'll know what I mean. The large screen kind of compensates the lack of sharpness for small letters because I can make the fonts larger, but I was hoping to see it sharp even for the small fonts. I have a good eye sight, so that may be another reason.

I don't make much phone calls, so I like the form factor and all. I also have a wacom tablet, so I know the limits of the pen. But not having a stylus calibration is kind of odd.

Anyways, I guess I should send the seller an email about this since they open M-F, and it's already Friday evening here.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mister_Mxyzptlk:
I have an iPhone 4 and an iPhone 4S. The lack of sharpness is due to the Note having lower pixel density than the Retina display. I know you looked it up when you had the Nexus S. And I know small text isn't as sharp as you'd like it to be. The point is that it's as sharp as it SHOULD be. If the Note had an RGB stripe display, text would still be subject to clarity loss as it's reduced in size. The reason you're noticing clarity loss has nothing to do with the Note's display matrix. It's because you allowed your eyes to adjust to the 320dpi display on the iPhone 4/4S. Trust me... your eyes will adjust to the Note. Mine did. That being said, the Nexus S doesn't have the pixel density that the Note does, and you CAN see the Pentile® matrix on it.

As far as your used device concerns go; yes, you were sold a used device. Moreover, you've been sold a used device with a voided warranty. Not only did someone use your phone, at some point, they flashed it with a custom kernel or OS. File a complaint and get a new device or a refund.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
+1 count means it was flashed once with custom ROM. And naturally samsung / retailer won't do this.

So sure it has been done by some user.

For those of you whom have flashed a rom for this phone, only to find you want to go back to stock, you may eventually run into a problem.

You lose data connectivity, EDGE2, 3G, 4G.

If you take a look into About Phone area in the Settings, you click status, and you will find your IMEI is corrupted.

Worst case you have to use a HEX Editor to change the values back to default, but I found a simple workaround that any new user can follow

Must be rooted.

Download Root Explorer or ES File Explorer

Change your settings to allow root options

Go to the root of your SD

Navigate to the efs folder

You will see a folder called imei, but you don't want that, you want the root folder

Now go into the afs folder

Now Settings

you should now be in /efs/root/afs/settings

nv_data.bin is the file you are looking for, copy it to the root of your internal or external sd card.

Now delete the nv_data.bin from /efs/root/afs/settings and reboot

Check your IMEI number as you did prior to the walkthrough, chances are, if you are lucky, the OS grabbed the imei during the boot.

Good luck, hope this helps someone like it did me.
