Hi,
I hope someone can help me. Been reading up forums all over the web and trying out everyone's advice:
My problem is that
1. I'm stuck at "downloading..." at Play Store (Actually, it's still called Market on my phone, since this is an old Xperia mini.) Nothing gets downloaded, so I can't even update the Market version.
2. Also, the default Google Search won't load. Keeps saying "Web Page Not Available." I'm using 3G.
3. Everything else is working. Gmail can sync, Maps, Talk, the Facebook app, YouTube. I was able to download Opera Mini from Sony's stock "Appxtra" and it works pretty fast. Which is why it puzzles me because the default Google browser doesn't work at all. That, and Play/Market.
BTW, earlier than that, I got off to a rocky start with my first hour with the new phone. Apparently, when you first use it you have to input your Google account at the setup page right away. I didn't do that. So for the next two days, I couldn't do anything with the phone except play music and surf the web through Google's default browser. (Loads so slow though).
I did factory reset, used wi-fi, and input my account details right away. And everything was fine. I can use the default browser.
Then I stumbled onto another problem. Apparently I had 2-step verification on, which is why I can't enter Market.
However, once I used my application-specific password, cleared the market data and google framework, and did a factory reset again, I was able to enter Market. The only problem is that (see Number 1 & 2) I can't download anything, and suddenly Google default browser won't work (whereas it was fine in the beginning), can't even go to the google page.
(I've tried clearing market data and download manager and taken the sim out, turned off the phone and back on, but still nothing. ):
Thanks in advance.
