Probably an error of sorts in connection. This usually happens to me when my mobile internet connection is fluctuating. I've reached about 29 downloads even if I was only downloading 4 apps. What I do is set my internet connection to hsdpa only and leave it overnight. Downloading is usually finished by morning.

Better make sure you do/did all that on WiFi, or you may have to declare bankruptcy when the bill comes...

I have an unlimited data plan with a fixed rate. I already enquired about it and they flat out told me that the network doesnt care if I get to download 1tb within 1 month, or if I tether my phone, but my bill would remain the same, about $25 for unlimited data usage.


As for the OP, if you dont have a data plan, make sure that the wifi you are connecting to is fast, reliable and will not be turned off. It is important that YOU DO NOT DISCONNECT during the duration of the download.

I also have an "unlimited" dataplan. But when I used my phone as a hotspot for my laptop for 4 hours in one month streaming video I received a stern warning a couple weeks later that I had exceeded their "fair use policy". I.o.w. I was exceeding "a" limit, or cap. But when you inquire what that limit or cap – their 'fair use policy' – actually is you don't get an answer...

That's convenient for the provider (and very devious) because if they don't publish the limits of that 'fair use policy' but keep them internal they can change those figures overnight, or even every day anew, as it suits them, without being called to account, and suck you dry!

Needless to say I'll get a another type of account, and possibly another telco, soon. An account with clear limitations!

Knowing as much as you I would select both...

Is it downloading via WiFi or via mobile phone connection? If the latter I would kill it immediately because that could get very expensive. And get to a service point with the phone.

It doesnt move because the phone thinks its downloading 209 apps. If we put around 2mb per app, thats more than 400mb, enough to be a movie. 1% is a pretty large number for it. I guess the only way is to either wait for the downloads, or reformat the phone.

how can i reformat the phone ?
