[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AmG77:
I've searched for days whether anyone else had experienced this problem regarding play store but couldn't find proper solution!

The problem is, whenever i download large apps from play store (say, 50+ MB), the download suddenly stops. the play store app says its downloading but not a single byte is being downloaded. And the other problem is, i cannot resume downloads. What can i do to fix it?

I thought this would have occurred coz of flashing excessive ROMs so i flashed back to stock but even this didn't solve this problem! this is very frustrating as i am trying to download an app ( of about 800+ MB) for days but couldn't finish downloading it! any suggestion would be appreciable! T

What Device are you on? Are you trying to Download over WiFi, or Network? If it's over WiFi , have you checked your settings? Does it happen on all Roms?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AmG77:
I have a xperia x10. I am trying to download over WiFi. And what settings are you talking about?? Yea this happens over every rom.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prboy1969:
Menu-Settings-WiFi-Menu-Advanced. Make sure it's not set to time out after a while. Also make sure that you actually are connecting to the router, with permission. I know that my router here at home you connect to it, and see it. But you cannot actually use it till you enter the password.

Do you have enough free space (free memory) in your phone?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AmG77:
Yea i do. The app downloads but stops downloading after certain time. It gets stuck ( let's say at 70%)

The "downloading" notification on the notification bar also gets stuck. I have to restart my phone to remove it.

P.S. Sorry for late reply.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kou Dou:
If the available space in the folder /cache on your phone storage is smaller than 50MB, then you can't download apps larger than 50MB coz /cache is the place to save temporary app files you download from google play. But you can try Java-based Real APK Leecher on your PC to download large apks directly from the store.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AmG77:
I guess this is my problem. Coz my phone storage is low; which means /cache is of low storage too right??

Edit: is there any way i can download apps straight from play store to my sd card without using play store.??
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AmG77:
Yes i am! :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kou Dou:
That's the point. The most important defect of android is that the manufacturers paid too much attention on how to adapt the OS for various devices and ignored the actual user experience. As for your question, I searched around and get no answer.

Yet I can give you two suggestions:

1. Download apps from some third-party app download sites which allow you to get apks and bypass play store.

http://www.tipsotricks.com/2012/07/top-10-sites-to-download-free-android-apps.html

Pick up one in this link.

2. Repartition your phone storage. I'm not sure about how to do it coz I haven't tried that before. But I know there are many idle space in other partition like /system which you will never use. So, distribute them wisely.

Good luck! :cool:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AmG77:
I really appreciate your research! Thanks a lot! I'll check out the link you gave and also searchhow to re-partion my storage! Thanks a lot again!!

Edit: downloading apps from third party sources won't let me update via playstore so any suggestions on how to stay upto date??
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kou Dou:
You're welcome. ;)

You can download not only the apks, but the client of those third-party markets. For instance, here's a link introducing 1mobile.com's client: http://www.1mobile.com/app/market/?cid=9

Directly download link: http://f.1mobile.com/mobile_software/channel/1MobileMarket_c.apk

It's similar to play store and may notify you if there's an update of one of your installed apps. Try app clients made by various websites repeatedly to find out the best.

Also, try some android PC suites which let you to update android apps via PC.

Yesterday my gps wasnt working at all. It would not lock on no matter what I did. I was on a custom rom and I tried wiping my data/cache, reinstalling maps (just for giggles), and a multitude apps from the market that help deal with gps problems (gps fix, gps status, toolbox, etc).

When all this didn't work I decided to odin back to the last official JB update and still no gps. On a whim I decided to odin back to an ICS firmware and that made my gps work. I have no idea but it did. I then odin to UVDLJC, installed TWRP's most recent and restored my backup of the custom rom I was using in the first place and gps now worked.

While I'm happy as heck that my gps is now working and that it was not a hardware issue I'm extremely curious what happened.

I have flashed many roms lately and I cannot think what a custom rom can do to gps to hose it or if it was just one of those things. I would of thought that when I originally did an odin to UVDLJC that would fix the issue but that didn't. Whatever the flash to ICS did fixed it but what in the heck could that of been?

I figure if I can find out or get an idea what happened then I can steer away from flashing certain roms, or just be prepared that flashing any roms at all can make this happen again.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Zza1989:
Same here.

Hello, ddcoh.

I am currently having the same issue you had with GPS not working. I've tried everything from trying tedious Play store apps to trying many different roms and kernels (clean installing every time) to completely reverting back to stock including using TriangleAway in case that did any help. Nothing worked. I have been thinking about going back to ICS to see if that worked but the last time I tried to downgrade from 4.1.1 to 4.0.4 I ended up soft bricking my phone even though I followed the steps word for word.

Can you tell how you went about downgrading to ICS and then back to JB, please? I use my GPS a lot and I would hate to find out it's a hardware issue.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Don_Perrignon:
Typically, it's been when people are going from 4.2 to 4.1.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] dccoh:
Well I used odin to flash an T999_UVALEM which was a prerooted ICS rom. After booting it up I checked to see if GPS was working and it was.

I then used odin again to flash T999_UVDLJA which is a JB rom and booted it up also and saw that gps was working. Then I just restored a backup of a room I had been using and GPS still worked.

I've been out of town and noticed that after flashing a few roms that gps wasn't working so instead of doing all the above stuff I just flashed a cm10 rom. I believe I either used a cm10 nightly (or maybe 10.1, memory is hazy) or LiquidRom and that got the GPS working by just doing that. Not sure if that will work for you but you could always backup your setup using TWRP's latest and then flashing a cm10 rom and seeing if gps is working and if that fixes it then you could then just reboot and restore the rom you are currently on and that might fix your gps for you.

Just noticed this when reading on Pulse app. So BOX is giving away free 50gigs of cloud storage for life. Just signed up and got mine no problem. Now I have a total of 100gigs with Dropbox & BOX very sweet. Just taught I'd share what I found. :D:D

I have had 50GB of Box for a while. The reason I don't use it is because they only allow small files (like 200mb or less). That makes it pretty useless to me.

Can you elaborate on why you think its superior? Ain't it pretty much the same?

That's because Dropbox, lets you upload files up to a gig, while the BOX app only lets you upload at around 200-300MB max! So that's why. Plus if you got Dropbox earlier on then you would have gotten the 50 gigs from them! But there not offering that deal anymore:(..

Ok I've stated this already. But if you have one already you can use another email. Or all you e-mails and sign up for the free 50 gigs. And your original box account you have make that one link to the rest. Just create a, folder then give access to your original account as a collaborator.

And you can link all your BOX accounts to your original account that way!:D

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidFan2:
So I have rooted my classmate his Galaxy S2 with CF-Root, which I now realized was a big mistake. It seems that he when he opens his camera app, a black screen comes but he can still take pictures. He can't also access the YouTube app. Another thing is that he lost ALL his files on his intern memory (like pictures, music etc. Which was kind of weird, because I have never had such a problem.) He doesn't really care about losing his files, contacts etc. He just wants to take pictures and access YouTube again. I read on a different topic that flashing Siyah kernel would fix this? Also, IF I have to flash Siyah for him, I have to put the Siyah kernel file in Odin in PDA and hit start, right?

Sorry if this isn't a huge question. It's just that I have never flashed to a different kernel (I have always flashed Custom ROMs with the kernel provided in there). Also is there a chance of any errors, mistakes, something going wrong? I know I can always flash back to the latest stock ICS rom, but nothing big should happen when switching kernels? Or am I wrong?

If the phone is running on ICS you can flash siyah kernel 5.01 with odin. Its perfectly safe. Just install samsung kies for the drivers. And if your phone is running on GB do not flash siyah

It seems highly unlikely to me that CF-root started all this. Did you flash the correct CF-Root for the correct rom version? You didnt mention which version of CF-root you flashed or what version of the stock rom he has.

If you got no experience in other kernels, why not do a full wipe and start from scratch?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidFan2:
If it's of further help, he was on XWLPD and I've flashed CF-Root with the latest version. The rooting went flawless on Odin, he has CWM installed and has SuperSU on there and has root acces. The tutorial I followed was on XDA Developers, altough I can't find the link anymore.
