[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkrestes:
Hi

Firstly I AM NOT BLAMING DARKY'S ROM TO BE DEFECTIVE AS IT IS AMAZING WORK and I keep flashing newer and newer updates !!!!!

Here is my problem. I flashed on 2.1 Eclair Darky's Raw steel edition (I don't remember the version but it was first one which didn't wipe all data...).

After flashing I tried download something from the market and ... nothing.

Download starts and I see the green arrow in the top left but only for roughly 1 second and after it disappears without saying any kind of error message. When you pull down the info menu you can see for a second those messages :

your item will be downloaded

> > starting download

> > downloading

> > downloading unsuccessfull

> >

> > After last messages arrow disappears.

I am not genius but I have successfully flashed all xboxes, psp's .... so I tried to google what I can do to FIX DOWNLOAD UNSUCCESSFUL PROBLEM. I am attaching communication with Android support as well to give you more ideas what I tried. In fact Everything I could find.

Wiping Cache

Wiping Dalvin's cache

Resetting phone

Installing original stock rom (vodafone, samsung)

Clearing caches (android market, downloader, google talk...)

Signing out and back in in Google talk

Leaving phone without battery

Trying different SIM

Trying different Google account

Trying to connect with / without wi-fi

Trying different country (when abroad)

Enable/disable 3rd parties installation (in settings/application)

You can see more info in below. I spoke to Vodafone as I wanted to return the phone as faulty and they just told me very politely to bug off that their services work perfectly and android has nothing to do with them. I am still waiting for reply from Samsung as I would like to return the phone as faulty...

Otherwise if I use any other site to download from like getjardotcom or others downloading works PERFECTLY.

PROMISE - IF ANYONE'S ADVICE HELP TO SORT OUT THE PROBLEM I WILL SEND THAT GENIUS BOTTLE OF SCOTCH :D
