Fascinate Market all of a sudden stopped downloading apps - pls help

I bought a Samsung Fascinate today. It never downloaded any apps.  I did a Master restart, and it started to download apps (about 4) - then it stopped downloading.  I click on "install," it says "application will download" and then it immediately says "download unsuccessful."
I called customer service at Verizon three times - spoke to their tech guys - and they recommended getting a new phone.
So, I went tonight and got a new phone. It was working great - downloading apps.
Then all of a sudden, it stopped downloading apps and every time I try to download anything, it says "download unsuccessful."
So it's not the phone, I gather.  I don't know what to do.  I'm so frustrated.
Thanks for any and all help you can offer.  I really like the phone and don't want to get a different one, but I need to be able to download apps.  Clearly, customer service/tech support is worthless (they were Googling the problem to help me - I can do that!).

Letstry some different steps to try to correct this problem. 
First you would want to verify that you have the 3G coverage on the phone. 
You can verify that information at the top, next to the signal bars.
Then could I get you to do a soft rest on the device. 
Press the Power key.
Touch Power off.
Touch OK.
Press the Power key to power on the device.
Then dial *228 send and option 1,  then dial *228 send and option 2.
If you are attempting to download the same application, try downloading a different application to see if you get the same error message.  
Then try this step:
From the home screen, select Applications.
Select development,
Then allow 3rd party applications.  
Finally  before downloading applications try stopping the applications that are running in the background.  
From the home screen, select Applications.
Select Running Services, Choose unnecessary applications and Force Stop.

  • Why does my firefox all of a sudden stop downloading data? websites dont load on it anymore...

    im in aus, my net admittedly peaks and slows down alot, and at its best its still way behind 99% of the people on this forum. The times it refuses to load new pages and sits on 'connecting' is very frustrating and it cant be on my end because if i enter the same url's in IE it loads straight away. If i check my net conection status while this problem is occuring, i notice im only uploading/dling a tiny trickle of info at a slow rate, yet this instantly goes away when i start using IE.
    I've only started having problems with it a few days ago, do i need to reinstall firefox or something? i much prefer firefox over chrome or IE dont make me go back to them! ><

    The default of the pref network.http.max-connections has been increased from 30 to 256 in Firefox 6+ versions.
    Try to decrease the value of the pref <b>network.http.max-connections</b> from 256 to 30 as used in Firefox 3 versions.

  • Connect to server using SMB. all of a sudden stopped working!! HELP!

    I have a MBP which I used to connect to a Windows XP computer wireless using the smb server address feature in the Finder.
    The thing is...it has been working for a couple of months with no problem. I sometimes take my Mac on the road and bring it back... when I'm ready to reconnect it, just go to the "recent items" under the Apple icon and reconnect.
    But now, I get a long delay and I keep getting the message:
    "Connection Failed"
    The server "XXX.XXX.X.XXX" may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again.
    I've tried everything...the IP address is correct and the internet connection is working on both computers, so what's the problem?? HELP!!

    I'm trying to work through the same problem. For 8 months everything worked fine with the network, and then last week "can't connect to servers". So far I've been able to connect to my servers only after a restart. Not even sure how long the fix lasts.
    I've got 3 PCs and my MBP on the network. No problems w/the PCs at all. In fact the other servers can connect to each other as well as my MBP. Unfortunately my network printer is on one of the PCs, so rebooting every time I need to print is wearing thin.
    This is my first Mac after owning a dozen or so PCs. I'm used to the ctrl-alt-del dance but was hoping for better from Apple. Everything else is great w/the Mac. Don't know why I waited so long to switch.

  • I have an optical mouse that came with my Mac Pro plugged into the USB port on the keyboard. After a year of working normally, the trackball all of a sudden stopped scrolling down. It scrolls up just fine, but not down. Any thoughts?

    I have an optical mouse that came with my Mac Pro, the only thing plugged into the USB port on the keyboard. After a year of working normally, the trackball all of a sudden stopped scrolling down. It scrolls up just fine, but not down. Any thoughts?

    Well
    I tried all of the suggestions, sort of. I did not have alcohol wipes, but I did take alcohol and pour some ona white paper towel and then rolled the mouse touch ball aroound and that finally cleared up the problem.  Just inverting it on paper did not do the reick, it needed some help with the alcohol.  Of course the probelm is the debris that gets inside and it really needs to come out.
    This is a huge problem for RIM devices users too.

  • My MacBook Pro will not connect to my home wifi but will connect everywhere else. My other Apple devices (I-pad, I-touch, another MacBook Pro) connect to the router without problems. It was working fine but all of a sudden stopped working.Thanks!

    My MacBook Pro will not connect to my home wifi but will connect everywhere else. My other Apple devices (I-pad, I-touch, another MacBook Pro) connect to the router without problems. It was working fine but all of a sudden stopped working.Thanks!

    try this.
    get back into your router's settings and start deleting devices that are not connected to your router.
    you can also delete the ones that are connected - they'll connect again.
    on the DHCP side of it, increase the amount of users that can connect/log in to your router.
    see if that sorts it out for you.
    good luck.

  • HT201401 Hi my 4s has all of a sudden stopped playing sound.

    Hi my 4s has all of a sudden stopped playing sound. I have a ringtone but no sound for music/movies etc. tried turning on and of and letting bat go flat then recharging. Sound came back for a while then went again. I noticed this started soon after I upgraded to 5.1.1 . Ive also looked at the error reports the phone generates for apple and there are a few memory low notes.  Any help would be appreciated.

    We have a WHOLE discussion about the issue over here:
    Re: IOS 5.1.1. update bug (Volume Control)
    So far Apple is not doing anything to fix the bug with 5.1.1 It's really annoying!

  • My camera all of the sudden stopped working. What is going on?

    My camera all of the sudden stopped working. What is going on?

    if by camera you are referring to iSight, here is how to troubleshoot:
    Built-in iSight cameras
    These steps are for iSight cameras that are built into a computer, such as the iMac G5 (iSight) or later, the MacBook, or MacBook Pro.
    See if the issue is application-specific.
    Try another application (iSight works with applications like iChat, PhotoBooth, and iMovie HD 6) to see if the iSight camera exhibits the same behavior in all applications. If it only happens in one application, try reinstalling that application.
    See if the issue is user-specific.
    Test your iSight camera in another user account. If the issue only occurs in one user, the issue would be isolated to user settings.
    Find out if the computer recognizes the iSight
    Check System Profiler (in the Utilities folder, inside the Applications folder). Under the USB header, check to see if the iSight camera is detected.
    Reset SMC or PMU
    Reset your computer's SMC or PMU, and then check System Profiler again. (SMC reset instructions for iMac G5 (iSight), Intel-based iMacs; PMU reset instructions for MacBook and MacBook Pro.)
    If your built-in iSight camera is still not behaving correctly after trying all these steps, you may need to contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.
    Standalone iSight cameras
    The instructions in this section apply if you have an iSight camera that is not built into your computer but attaches to the computer via a FireWire cable.
    Make sure the cable is completely plugged in.
    Incomplete cable connections are the most common cause of hardware problems. Follow these quick instructions to make sure your iSight cable is completely plugged in.If your iSight camera continues to function improperly, continue on to the steps below.
    Turn the computer and the camera off.
    Unplug the FireWire cable from your computer and the camera.
    Wait a few seconds.
    Firmly, without forcing, plug the cable back in to the camera and the computer.
    Caution: FireWire ports are keyed so the FireWire cable can only be inserted one way. Make sure you are inserting the FireWire cable into the FireWire port in the correct orientation.
    Restart your computer.
    If the green light on top of the iSight is not lit, turn on the camera by gently twisting the lens.
    Launch iChat AV.
    See if a different FireWire port works.
    Some Macs have more than one FireWire port. If your computer has another FireWire port, disconnect the iSight camera from the current port and plug it into the other one. Restart your computer and test the camera before continuing to step three.
    Check to see if other FireWire devices work.
    If you have another FireWire device, such as a video camera or an external hard drive, try plugging it into your computer to see if it works. If your other FireWire devices work, this means that your computer's FireWire port is working correctly. If your other FireWire devices don't work, there may be an issue with your computer. Contact an Apple Authorized Service Provider for assistance.
    Determine if there is an incompatibility with another FireWire device.
    If more than one FireWire device is connected to your computer, there may be an incompatibility between two of the devices. To rule this out, disconnect all other FireWire devices from the computer, including external hard drives, CD/DVD drives, other cameras, and FireWire-based networking equipment, such as hubs and repeaters. If your iSight camera works normally when you remove other FireWire devices, plug them back in one at a time to isolate the cause of the issue.
    Make sure the FireWire cable is good.
    Follow these steps to test the FireWire cable:Information about your iSight camera should appear in the FireWire Information field. If you see the iSight camera in this field, your cable is good. Once you've confirmed the cable you are using is good, use it to plug your iSight into your computer. If the green light on the top of the camera does not light up immediately (within a second), there may be an issue with your camera. Fill out an iSight Service Request to have your camera repaired.
    Important: Do not send your iSight camera for repair until you have tried each troubleshooting step.If the FireWire cable that came with your iSight camera didn't work, try another FireWire cable that you know works. If this cable works, there is an issue with your iSight's FireWire cable. If your camera is in the limited warranty period, fill out an iSight Service Request to receive a replacement cable.
    Choose About This Mac from the Apple menu.
    Click More Info. System Profiler opens.
    In the System Profiler window, click on the Devices and Volumes option.
    Click the disclosure triangle, if necessary, in the FireWire Information area.
    Check to see if there is an issue with your camera.
    If information about your iSight appears in System Profiler but the camera still does not work, follow these steps:Video from your iSight camera should appear on screen. If the screen is blue or black, there may be an issue with the camera. Fill out an iSight Service Request to have your camera repaired.
    Open iChat AV.
    Choose Preferences from the iChat menu.
    Click the Video button.
    Twist the front of the iSight camera lens to open the iris barrier. The green light on the camera turns on when the iris barrier is open.

  • HT1766 I usually have iCloud backup but I got a notification that my phone has not backed up for the last two weeks, and It wont let me do it manually. Why did it all of a sudden stop backing up?

    I usually have iCloud backup but I got a notification that my phone has not backed up for the last two weeks, and It wont let me do it manually.There is also still enough storage space.  Why did it all of a sudden stop backing up?

    The HT1766 article you attached lists the prerequisites for an iCloud backup:
    iCloud automatically backs up the most important data on your device using iOS 5 or later. After you have enabled Backup on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch in Settings > iCloud > Backup & Storage, it will run on a daily basis as long as your device is:
    Connected to the Internet over Wi-Fi
    Connected to a power source
    Screen locked
    You can also back up manually whenever your device is connected to the Internet over Wi-Fi by choosing Back Up Now from Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup.

  • Wifi has all of a sudden stopped working Iphone4

    The other day i was browsing the net and my wifi all of a sudden stopped working.
    I went to turn it back on but it just kept loading.
    Sometimes when the wifi does turn on its for 5 seconds and turns off again.
    Ive tried "reset network settings" and "reset all settings" turning it off and everything. Forgeting it then trying again.
    But it still wont work.

    If no change after resetting network settings on the iPhone, try restoring the iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the backup.
    If no change after that, the iPhone has a hardware problem.

  • Lenovo T61p-6457 has all of a sudden stopped working!

    My Lenovo T61p-6457 has all of a sudden stopped working.
    When I power it up I see the that power and HDD green lights go on and from another computer on my network I can access individual files on the T61p hdd.  
    However when I connect the T61p via VGA cable to an external working monitor I don't see Windows or any images on the external screen!
    Do you think that there is only a problem with the screen or could there be something else?
    The currently installed screen on the T61p 6457 is WSXGA 1680x1050 (Samsung LTN154P2-LO5).
    I have found a working WUXGA 1920 x 1200 along with inverter and cable in the original Lenovo T61p top case housing - will this work in my T61p?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Good day.
    When you boot your machine, are you getting any beeps? If so, please post back with the sequence (# of long and short).

  • TS1741 my ipad all of the sudden stopped charging

    My Ipad all of the sudden stopped charging. It wont even charge or be recognized from my laptop on itunes. Please help. Is my battery dead?

    Three possibilities - bad cable, charger or the iPad/battery. Since iPad not recognized, I suspect the cable. Make sure the cable is fully connected.
    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    And this - Unplug the charger from the iPad and then replug. May resume charging.
    Or - Recalibrate the battery. See link below.
    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
    http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night. Also look at The iPad's charging challenge explained http://www.macworld.com/article/1150356/ipadcharging.html
