Motorola Droid X :: Multiple Instances Of Apps Downloading?
Jun 17, 2011
Netflix was downloading, and I hit Angry Birds to update and now I have multiple instances of those 2 apps downloading, 45 instances to be exact. Needless to say its killed my battery charge and its currently running hot. Can anyone please tell me how to stop the downloads? I have tried turning the phone on and off, I pulled the battery, I have tried to an FC to Market and the Download Manager, I tried clearing the cache on those 2, I even tried a cache partion wipe, nothing works.The downloads just start right back up. I have the phone on the charger, and I have it on Wifi to help speed the downloads along since I have not been able to stop them.
I'm getting multiple instances of the stock messaging app showing up in the recent apps menu. Doesn't seem to be happening with other apps that I've seen.
I activated my phone 3 hours ago. Browser works fine in 4g mode. I have been unable to download a single app from the market. Every app I try returns, "Download was unsuccessful, please try again." I have turned the phone off and on again, no luck. I have checked my google synch to make sure it's working, all 4 categories synch (i am also receiving my emails.) I have gone into settings and checked "data saver." It was off by default. I turned it on, went to the market, and attempted to download an app. It said something to the effect of "your app will be qued for download." Before I could even return to settings to turn off data saver and see if it worked, I received the same error message (download was unsucessful, please try again." I have tried this with multiple apps, including both apps I had on my previous phone and apps I have never downloaded before. In "my apps" it shows the two apps I purchased on my previous device, but none of the free ones.
For the last couple of days, whenever i download any application, it keeps downloading the same twice. I mean once the download is complete, it again starts the app download from teh beginning. Starting today, its keeps downlaoding without stop
I am trying to update my device after the 4G upgrade. When I first got it, i did not do a factory reset and it downloaded some apps but not all.I then did a factory reset and it shows all the apps to download, but it is not downloading. The apps are just stuck on "downloading."I left it on over night and no movement. I tried both WIFI, 3G, and 4G.I tried 2 more factory resets and nothing.I tried going to the market web page and click install on device.
Any app I try to download wont download. It just has a continuous downloading status but never actually downloads. Has anyone seen this problem before? I spoke to a sprint rep and she did a refresh but the same problem still persists. I even restarted the phone but still have the same issue. My internet and everything else works. The rep told me I can do a factory reset to see if that will fix the problem. I will take it to a sprint store but wanted to see if anyone else had this problem and fixed it without doing a hard reset.
I have been having this problem lately where my txt msgs are being duplicated when they come in. I am using a 3rd party txt app (Handcent). It's happened on basically everyone that sends me a txt and it's annoying
i bought a xoom (wifi) while in the us a few weeks ago. after arriving back to vietnam and setting-up my google and android market accounts a number of apps that i tried to download advised me that they are not available for download in "my country". how can i get these apps (e.g., amazon kindle; riptide, etc.) loaded in to my xoom wifi?also ... the android market doesn't even show "books" or "movies" within my android market, nor can i access google books for purchasing! do i have to change my location on my android market account to the us ... can i even do this after its been set-up?i did some further trouble-shooting including the following:
i have contacted various app developers .... all of which have confirmed to me that they allow and support free & paid app downloads in vietnam.i have had multiple friends in the us attempt to access and download numerous android apps to my android market account from their us-based web servers, but they receive the same comment i.e., "this item cannot be installed in your device's country", even though they are on a us server.
it is therefore clear that the problem is with my google/android market/xoom set-up, so can anyone assist me to confirm whether i can either:delete my android market account from my google account and "re-start", setting my location as the united states. (while retaining all my gmail; Internet; etc. account settings and files.) fix my current google/android market account settings to indicate i am in the united states so that i can download apps?

MNew To Droid after finally giving up my beloved Blackberry. Is there a way that I can add the contacts of an email that was sent to me and 4 others without having to do each one individually?
I know that with the Gingerbread update the duplicate SMS issue was supposed to be fixed but it is still horrendous on my phone. I just received 10..10 copies of the same SMS. This is not a one off occurrence either. Almost daily I receive multiple copies of the same message. I know I'm on a Droid 2 and am due for a much needed upgrade but am trying to hold out for a Droid 5 (if there is even to be one). In other words I'll probably wait until the beginning of 2013 before I pull the trigger on a new phone. Is it safe to say there are no more software updates coming? I know it won't be ICS or anything but any bug fixes? The last time I reset my phone was approximately 60 hours ago, it just froze so had to hard reset.
ICS downloaded yesterday, since then old deleted email keeps downloading to my phone. I have the email set to save a copy of the email on the server. some reason the phone keeps going back and grabbing email that I've all ready viewed several days ago. I delet it, and next cycle it goes back and pickes up email from an even later date.Never happened until the ice cream update yesterday. how to stop it?
I have noticed that I am receving the same text 2,3 even sometimes 4 times in a row. In one text coversation this morning with my wife, about 60% of the texts she sent me were received multiple times. (she on Dx2). This happens randomply and with texts received from friends on other carriers. This started happening sometime after one of the last updates, but I have not had a lot of extra time to research it. I did search the forum but found no similiar problems.
I currently have 3 razr maxx's signed up for the FBN. I was wondering if Matt or Mark if that in any way effects a persons chances of being selected. I was wondering if moto would simply see this like a person had 2 replacement devices, or how it works? Of course I have my main device set as my main device.
my biggest complaint about Gingerbread reared it's ugly head this past weekend. The lack of "+" symbol in the "to" field of the stock text messaging app.
I wanted to text all of the people in my contacts list who are fathers, to wish them a happy father's day. Unfortunately, to address a text message to multiple recipients, I must remember every one of them, and type in their "letter" individually. I have to type in a letter, then pick one contact, then type in another letter, then pick another contact, then type in another, then pick...I'm sure you can see where this is going. And of course, once I thought I had gotten everybody and pressed "send", I then went into my contacts list and realized that I had forgotten several people, and had to do it all over again. Something that should have taken less than a minute instead took several minutes, and I'm sure I still likely forgot someone!!!
Just who's brilliant idea was it to remove the "+" symbol (that would open up the entire contact list for easy multiple picks) and replace it with the stupid "suggestion" arrow! They should be fired and shot...not necessarily in that order!
Why do I have 3 drives associated with my x2 when I connect to my computer by USB?One has moto driver setup file that don't seem to run, and the other two appear to be my USB card and the phone memory, but the contents are almost identical. Yet the phone shows most memory free, while the USB card is almost full (I transferred my files to a 16 GB card and added music). Docs 2 go desktop sync in particular has issues and doesn't know which drive to enable, but I cannot disconnect only one drive
How the Droid 3 handles multiple calls? When I make an outbound second call, and that call is completed, how do I end that call and return to the first call? When I receive a second call, how do I end that call and return to the first? Apparently I get only one 'add a call' per existing call - the 'add a call' button is greyed out after one use. The very brief owner's manual says nothing about the additional call feature. Is there something available on-line that better addresses all the features of the phone?
I keep receiving multip copies of texts. For example let's say a friend texts me. I receive that same text multiple times throughout the day, even thought I deleted it. Another example, let's say that you have your Google Calendar sending you text reminders for events/meetings, etc. Even thought I deleted the first notice I still receive that exact same notice for something that happened two to five hours ago.
I noticed this issue when I had reached the preset 200 msg limit on one contact it started a second conversation so when I would txt it would post in the original conversation and the reply would post on a second conversation. So, I went in and set the upper limit to 999. On a separtate contacts SMS msg's, when I hit 300, it split the conversations again so that even when I type a reply in the new conversation, the reply goes into the original sms and when they reply, it posts to a new SMS. Seriously, this gets confusing. Is anyone else having this issue? Is there a workaround? I don't mind buying another SMS app if it will work until Moto has a bug fix out in an updat. I am using the stock app since i previously used Handsent and it deleted all my msgs on 2 different occasions on my previous Thunderbolt.
HELP: My 4S keeps downloading and then re-downloading e-mail messages after they are deleted from the phone. My company uses Godaddy.com as their e-mail server. It is a POP3 account.
In Outlook 2010, I keep the message on the server for 9 days in case I am out of town and can't acces my computer in the office. But I am unsure why the e-mail messages keep getting re-downloaded after they have been downloaded on the iPhone.
If I set the iPhone to delete the message after downloading, will my GoDaddy server delete the message? Or will that change only control how many times the phone downloads the message? My BB never had an issue like this and this is the only frustration so far with the iPhone. I suppose i can always delete the e-mails on the server twice a week, but it's just one more thing to do.
I love my Turbo but my email keeps re-downloading even after I've deleted. I just deleted 123 emails dating back to December. Then I heard email notification again and this time 149 emails were DL'ed again duplicating what I deleted plus some. With the Turbo you can't do a select all to delete so it's one at a time or check all and then hit delete. I can't keep doing this. I've checked email settings and I see nothing where I can get this to stop.
I have a droid3 and every time I try to download anything it now ask me to do it over a wifi connection, this started 2 days ago. How do I make it start using the phone to download, and it doesn't matter the size of file.
So I can stream music from my iTunes account onto my phone through Motocast, and can download one song at a time onto my phone. The problem is I have a massive amount of songs and really don't want to download all of them one at a time. Does anyone know a way that I can download my entore library all at once?
I noticed that when I get messages (usually MMS with pictures) from my someone who sent the message to multiple recipients, if I touch the icon at the top of the message thread, next to "Multiple Recipients", with the four greyed out heads (where the normal contact picture is), I'm able to see who else the message was sent to. This includes people and phone numbers that I do not have in my contacts list. I'm concerned about this, because if I were to be the one sending a message to multiple recipients, I could see a situation where I would send it to multiple people but not want to disclose everyone's phone number to everyone else. Isn't this a privacy concern or violation? There should be a way to turn this off on the sending end.
Most of the time, when I have multiple updates, the phone will download some, then stop. It tells me an item is downloading, but it never does. I stop it and start it, and it downloads instantly.
Having problem downloading attachments with default email app. When clicked on the app says it is 'fetching' the document but often never works. I can go to a browser based client for, say yahoo mail or comcast mail and the attachment is quickly downloaded. Why the default email app is having this problem?
