Hi,
I'm facing a peculiar problem with regards to the updates that applications receive from the android market,it happens as follows:-
I receive the updates notification,
->i press the update all button or individually update, it starts downloading,
->shows download paused
-> starting download,
->download paused
->then download starts and completes
->then AGAIN it shows starting download,
->then it suddenly shows INSTALLING,
-> then gives a notification of UPDATE FAILED.
-> if i touch the update failed notification it shows could not download to USB Storage or SD Card
this happens whether i select update all or single update, however i can download apps to my device, and uninstall and reinstall the apps which are not getting updated. I would like to state that my SD card is in normal condition as movies and movies play off it smoothly. I also tried restarting, Unmounting and remounting the card, but the problem is still there.If anybody has faced this problem and found a solution for it, please let me know. Thank you in advance
I too have this problem. I have found that on some apps you can uninstall first then move back to SD. If anyone has a better solution I would love to know
Sent from my LG-P500h using XDA App
i dont have such problem, but my market always FC when i tap on the 'just in' apps tap. wondering what has happen with the market apps... =/
Try updating via LG software while connected to your computer through usb cable.
Perhaps, it's the common sd card mounting error, wherein, sometimes the sd card automatically un-mounts and remounts, causing phones to restart, fc for apps, etc.
Firstly, Thanks to all of you for replying to this post. Although i am still facing this problem, i have found a temporary solution to this, even though its not very elegant, its quite useful if you have to update system centric apps like android assistant, go sms pro, titanium backup etc.
->Move the applications which aren't updating to the internal memory,
->Go to the my apps section in android market
-> Update!!!
-> move the app back to the SD memory
Yes i know not as convenient as tapping "Update All", but till a proper solution comes out, this will have to do. Also hell1134 if LG android software is working for you, then you're ONE LUUUUUUUUUCKYYY Guy. Cos in my experience all it ever does is freeze up and suck osama balls. Very badly made software, Uninstalled it the MINUTE i discovered myphoneexplorer.

Hello Everyone!
I need some help with my phone, I'll be thankfully if some of you could help me finding out the solution of the problem.
It's a LG l5 E615f Dual Chip
No matter what I do, every time I reboot the phone, all kind of changes I do it's restored to the day the problem has started (6 july). Even deleted photos comes back, and I'm not talking about the MiniSD Card, its the internal memory, configurations changed, accounts deleted, apps deleted, even the ROOT I've tried to do gets undone when rebooted.
*NOTE: I just tried to ROOT because the problem, I've never rooted before that thing happens.
And I believe that's causing some kind of instability in the phone. It also randomly gives me the following errors:
-"unfortunately, Internet has stopped"
-"google play services has stopped"
-"google play store has stopped"
-"Unfortunately, the process android.process.acore has stopped"
-"unfortunately the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped"
The frequency is about 8 seconds.
And also reboots randomly.
When I try t run an app like outlook, facebook or whatsapp for example it crashes.
The frequency of error messages, reboots and crashes makes the device completely useless...
Things I've already tried:
- Hard and Soft Reset (Soft Reset simply doesn't work, and Hard reset I get the android robot screen, but after reboot everything keeps the same)
- Rooted the phone (after a lot of failures, one succeed, after opening the KINGO Root the app crashed and the phone rebooted and the ROOT were undone)
- LG Mobile Support Tool (After update, nothing happens, everything keeps the same as were before)
- Remove google account and add again
- Delete a lot of apps (I did waste like 1 hour after reboots and crashes and uninstalling various apps, no succeed.
- Update google play services (I used an APK and MiniSD card to do that, receive the message "App not installed.")
- Tried to delete and add files from the PC (Cannot add or delete anything from internal memory, only the miniSD)
That's it, does anybody knows whats happening?
I'm desperate too
I'm having the same problem here with on LG-E612f
E6xx is the old generation L5: http://forum.xda-developers.com/optimus-l3-l5-l7
More info pls
I don't understand... I mean, I looked here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/optimus-l3-l5-l7 and here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/optimus-l3-l5-l7/help, but our problem is nowhere listed in those places.... =(
Hello,
I'm trying to get an Alcatel Idol X (One Touch 6040D, no custom roms or modifications) out of a crash loop, but have been unsuccessful so far. The trouble started when the phone wanted to download and install text-to-speech voice data ("Female for English"). At some point this download/install crashes, causing the phone to reboot. When rebooting the phone hangs on the Alcatel screen with white background. I have to power it off then on again. Then it boots and starts the download/installation again, causing it to crash seconds after.
I've tried the following to no avail:
Clear cache partition from recovery menu.
Force stopping "Download Manager" and clearing cache & data. I have to be very quick to do this, otherwise the phone reboots. Unfortunately clicking the clear buttons has no effect. The used disk space stays the same (80.00KB data, 12.00KB cache). The phone will not reboot at this point, but many apps (Google Play, Settings,...) and processes are crashing repeatedly (android.process.acore, android.process.media and com.google.process.gapps). Eventually, so much has stopped working that the phone reboots.
There's a thread, I found almost a month ago on Androidcentral, about this very same problem. But what worked for the thread starter and other people, i.e. the clearing of cache and data of the "Download Manager" doesn't work for me. Probably because the cache/data clearing is not actually executed. So that might be something to look into further. See point two above. My replies in that thread haven't been responded too, unfortunately.
I'm aware that the cleanest solution is probably a factory reset from the recovery menu. However that would mean data loss of photos and app data, that haven't been backed up. My main goal is to get the phone into a state that a recovery/syncing of that data can be done. After, I don't mind doing a factory reset.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Kind regards,

Hello,
this problem still could not be resolved unfortunately Does anybody have any idea why the "clean cache" doesn't appear to have any effect?
Cheers,

Not too familiar with Alcatel as they aren't popular around where I live... I would think that there's an option to wipe cache in recovery however. If that doesn't help, I would try to quickly toggle airplane mode to stop the download process so you can backup what you need.
Hello es0tericcha0s,
thanks for your reply. The problem seems not to be related to Alcatel specifically. See Google Text-to-Speech Won't Stop Downloading for other brands of Android smartphones that had the same issue. Unfortunately, what helped others, i.e. clearing the cache, does absolutely nothing in my case I also already tried clearing the cache partition in the recovery menu. Disabling wifi is another thing I tried to no avail. The download manager still starts installing or trying to download the voice data and crashes. Any other suggestions?
Cheers,

Are you rooted by any chance? What's going on with the Download Manager shouldn't affect your ability to backup your photos at least when you plug it into a computer. If you aren't rooted, you might look into trying to do an adb backup if your phone supports it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2091047&highlight=4+4
No, the phone is not rooted. Never did any modifications of that sort.
I tried connecting to the pc before, but it's not possible to browse the phone content. The crashing services I mentioned in my first post are probably interfering. I will try it again on another pc... Will an adb backup work in that case? Or is it possible to do an adb backup without booting android fully?
Cheers,

So I tried again plugging the phone into a computer. The computer plays the connection sound and shows the phone when clicking on the "Safely disconnect USB device" in the task bar, but unfortunately it's not possible to browse the phone contents using the file explorer :crying: There is a slowly moving progress bar shown in the file explorer location bar and eventually it just stops and nothing happens.
I couldn't try the ADB backup tool in the thread you suggested cause the site is down. It most likely won't work anyway given the fact that the USB connection cannot be established successfully.
*sigh* I'm starting to think I'm out of options. It's just so frustrating to know that the images and contact data are present on the device, but there is no practical way to get to them. I could do a reset to factory settings and hope to recover any images using a tool like Recuva, but that would definitely endanger them.
eXistenZ_69
Only other thing I could think of would be to root and hopefully you could freeze/disable the Download Manager in time before the crash to be able to recover stuff.
Adb still might work even though MTP isn't. Just have to hurry through the settings to enable it. If you don't have adb on your computer search : Minimal ADB and Fastboot here on xda.
Hello es0tericcha0s,
Today I had a major breakthrough. Using ADB I successfully copied over the /sdcard directory contents on the phone. This means all pictures have been recovered!! So happy about that Thank you so much for your help! :highfive: It didn't work right away after installing minimal adb & fastboot though, my phone was not listed when doing "adb devices". I then installed some software from Alcatel called "One Touch Center", which is used for managing phonebook, sms, ringtones, etc... that was not able to connect to the phone either. However I think it installed some driver, because after ADB was able to connect to the phone :good:
I'm currently trying to figure out how to root the phone so I can delete the download manager cache/data. From what I've read by now is that those should be present somewhere under /data/data/ . Those directories require root privileges unfortunately. I tried Kingo Root which lists the phone as supported, but that failed to acquire root.
Would be great to succeed in fixing the crash loop too, so I can sync contacts and other data too.
Thanks again!
Cheers,

I installed 36.0.A.2.109 yesterday (OTA update) and now something weird happened to my phone.
First I got a notification, “Corrupted SanDisk SD card”. That happened immediately after the phone rebooted following the update. It offered me the option “Erase & Format” and that seems to have fixed the problem. Fortunately I had nothing of value on that SD card otherwise I would have been pissed.
But that’s only half of the problem. When I plugged the phone into my Windows laptop, I can’t see most of my data in internal storage. For instance, I can’t see the folders DCIM, Documents, Downloads, etc. But on the phone using the File Manager app I can see those folders just fine. And in the Pictures folder I can see only 5 subfolders on my computer. But on the phone using the QuickPic app or File Manager app I can see 19 subfolders with hundreds of pictures in them.
What’s going on here?
(The phone is not rooted for what it’s worth.)
OK, got it to work. This is what I did:
Settings - Apps - All Apps - Show System Apps (from menu), find Media Storage app, clear data. Reboot.
Install media.Re.Scan app, do media scan.
I have a similar encryption bug too. I am experiencing a bug with my Xperia XA ultra. One week after the previous update, I decided changing my phone's screen lock security from pattern to swipe. It worked fine, but when switching again for swipe to pattern the system crashed. I have factory reset it twice. I have performed two system repairs using the Xperia companion and I have also flashed the firmware using the flashtool and every time that I go to settings - screen lock and security - and if I select pattern, pin or password, my phone crashes and I cannot unlock it.
In the meantime, I am just using swipe and it works flawlessly. Any idea why?
(I have also tried clearing the security certificates)
I guess that the firmware was corrupted
the vibration stopped right after the OTA update , didn't work even after resting the phone and reinstalling the software from Xperia Companion.
Hi,
I have a Galaxy Core Prime sm-g360v and I have rooted with KingRoot. I have had link2sd installed for 6 months now but all of the sudden when I reboot some apps no longer show up in my apps menu or link2sd. A message appears every time I boot about how some functionality is missing and I may need to factory reset (from android system, not from link2sd) but this has appeared before and I had all my apps. The missing apps were random (pubg gone but not other games, etc.) I also had Apps2SD installed so I went there and they did not show up, but their package names DID show up under the recover option. Which is odd, because all my normal apps that showed up there too had their app names and icons, these missing apps only had package name. I tried to restore but it always fails. Can someone please help me out? Not sure if it is an SD corruption problem, and if it is, not sure how to fix it.
Any help is GREATLY appreciated! :good:
Willing to answer any questions that might help figure it out!
Hello, almost everyday the apps stop working and won't open, I need to reboot the phone to make them work. Is there any way I can fix it? I'm on MIUI 10
Edit: the phone just crashed and had a notifaction saying that the sd card is not supported, can this be the problem?
