Possible fix for download & installation unsuccessful Android Market issues
Nov 13th
There are a number of suggestions out there. I have successfully used the following two to allow the download and installation of apps from the Android market place after receiving the error “download unsuccessful”
1) Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Market >
Then try the following : clear cache and / or Unistall Updates.
2) As above but for the Market Updater app
Try clear data and / or clear cache
3) If the above do not work try the same for Google Apps.
4) I have not tried it but I have seen people report success clearing data for the Download manager.
How to fix Contact sync deletes new contacts and edits on my Xperia X10 / Mini Pro
Nov 13th
As you can see from other posts the X10 is giving me more grief than it rightly should. Still stuck at Android 1.6 the updates to 2.1 are starting to trickle in as most other phones are moving on 2.2
The symptoms:
Synching your phone to your google app account deletes all contects from you address book. A great feature is it not!
While some people are reporting that the followng has not worked I have tested it to death and it seems to be very reliable. One thing that is good about the X10 is the number of back up options. Far better than those offered by my Samsung Galaxy S. So before you attempt to do anything back up your contacts to your sim or SD card. (menu > more > backup)
The fix:
Enter settings > data synchronisation > Google synch> Group Synchronisation
Tick both options here. No, I have no idea what they do or why they work.
Activate Contact synch and watch those contacts flow.
Pull up your google contacts and make sure you test contacts both ways. eg create a new contact on the phone and synch again. make sure it appears in Google. Delete it in Google and make sure it goes off your phone.
Fingers crossed this helps.
