Application download failure

Question: I'm having trouble updating my applications. In fact it doesn't update. I see the little arrow at the top left , but nothing else happens. Any idea how to fix/reset this problem?

Hi, if you are downloading from the Android Market I would recommend selecting Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > press left menu key > Filter > All > Market > Uninstall Updates and also select Clear Data (if possible)

This should reset the Market and let you download/update applications

if that doesn't work just backup everything but the settings and repair your firmware with Update Service

I tried the delete updates in the market but it still doesn't work.

So now what do I do? I've backup everything and re-installed the latest software. I still have the same problem except that now  I have lost the apps. Before they were not up to date but now I am unable to install them. Still have the in progress arrow top left corner but nothing happens!

this might be a dumb question but do you have internet access on your phone? you must enable data traffic or at least use wifi

settings

          wireless & networks

                                   mobile networks

                                                       Data traffic (make sure its selected)

Yes I am using wi-fi and my e-mail still works. Today I tried downloading a pdf file and that too won't load. Please help!

And no there are no dumb questions. I'm starting to regret that I bought a smart phone that isn't smart.

What exactly is the error message (if there is one)? hey, if it's not smart, you can make it smart! Winking_Face relax ....

I have no error message. Only the arrow showing a download or a number in red at the top left corner.
