I've got a Sony Xperia (X10, I believe -- it was a replacement model).

Anyway, I had no problem downloading and installing apps until last week or so. Whenever I try to download and install an app -- regardless of whether its paid or free -- it hangs on the "Downloading..." message, then gives the following Error message:

" "[App Name]" could not be downloaded due to an error. (404)

I've followed the instructions I've found on the internet, namely Applications → Manage Applications → Market → Clear Data → Clear Cache and then back to Download Manager → Clear Data → Clear Cache. But to no avail.

This is extremely frustrating. I've tried to download some apps -- I've even paid for one -- and I can't get any enjoyment out of them. I called my cellphone provider (Koodo/Telus) but they said it was an Android market thing. And yes, I have data enabled.

And yes, I've tried to download and install using Wifi, but I get none in my condo.

Again, I have a Sony Xperia running on Android 2.3.3.

I have had a similar issue to this. It all started because I downloaded an app that ran out of space on my phones internal memory before finishing, this then seemed to hang in the system stopping any downloads.

I too followed the same instructions to no avail. Was was needed after clearing the data was a restart of my phone, after that everything was fine.
