No matter what rom (with wipe of data, cache, and Dalvik), known-good Nandroid backup I restore, or anything else I can think of, I cannot get the Market to work. This is driving me bonkers! I've tried CM7, das Bamf 1.6 and 1.6.1, I've tried old Virus backups, and have even flashed Bolted, Lightning rom, and a couple others. I simply cannot get apps to download, and all environments give me 503s in my logs. So this sounds like it's down but I searched and expected to see posts all over about it. So I'm stumped.

Had the same issue, no replys tho. I ended up calling Verizon and after the tech guy "held my hand" thru his "testing", he just put me in for a replacement. I did notice that market seems to be working a bit now. It wasn't working after I uprooted bone stock, but today it seems to be kinda working.

So after sleeping, it's still broken for me. I did additional testing and either the market is very broken or my market account is screwed up. I tried on my 2 other devices (a Nook Color and a G1, both on wifi) and neither of them with either.
I did some heavy flashing of various roms yesterday, so could they have disabled my account, or something, thinking it was hacked?

Okay, so no matter what I do, I can't initiate a download from my phone. I can, however, initiate a download from the web version of the Market, and this works with at least my TBolt and Nook (didn't bother trying on my G1 - assumed it either worked or I didn't care).
However, this is incredibly aggravating not being able to use my phone to install software via the Market applications!
I've discovered the problem (kinda) and can offer a fix. The problem was that network settings (grouped with things like wifi passwords) get backed up and restored automatically by Google, and mine were somehow corrupted. The fix was to go into Settings -> Privacy and uncheck the backup/restore checkboxes. If you do this right, it will prompt you to confirm and will say that it will erase the settings on Google's servers.
After this, you may need to wipe one more time.

Randomly my Android Market started acting up with regards to downloading apps. I can browse through and search apps just fine but when I click Install to start downloading an app it just hangs on 'Starting download...' on and off wifi.
I researched the problem and found remedies of starting gtalk and clearing the download manager cache, all of which were ineffective (obviously otherwise I wouldn't be posting this!). The only thing that was temporarily effective was re-flashing the stock firmware with odin. Initially I could download apps after flashing with odin but after letting the phone sit for a few minutes I could no longer download apps :-(.
On a perhaps related note I do recieve random notifications about unsuccessful downloads while I'm not even using my phone of applications that I've never even attempted to download..
Yeah I get the same issues with mine on the stock rom.i find that if I reset my wifi connection it starts to work again. Just a thought.

Ineffective for me :-(.
Anybody ?
Playing around with it a lil more if I toggle the wifi then restart the download it generally starts workimg again. Just out of curiosity are you in a poor reception area when this happens?

Had this issue on my G1 with CM6. Go to Settings>Applications>Manage Applications. Scroll to market, click, clear cache. Let me know if this works as well.

Tried this as well as clearing the cache for download manager, no difference.

Nope, I either have great EDGE or HSDPA service.
Before anyone asks, all other web based apps that I can use at this point (browser mostly) work just fine.
My best guess is that it is just buggy atm, it would seem that it has a hard time deciding which method to use to download. For me at least choosing between wifi and edge/3g.

You can uninstall the market from your manage apps/applications without any harm. Won't remove the app, but will clear all the market data stored on your phone. You just accept the tos again when you open the market and you're going. Hope this helps

My 3rd replacement will be here tomorrow due to my vib not syncing (android. acore. process)
If this one is faulty in any way then I'm trading up.
My Q is if given the chance, which tmo phone would you go to next and why?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Just a heads up, expect a really ****ty choice of two phones.
When I tried to change after getting 5 replacements, (3 of them for the same reason, modem hardware crashing) I got the moto charm as the only option. And your options are locked in their system.

I asked them the same thing, and it's locked in their system the choices you get. You could possibly try to go even higher in the rep, but I doubt you'd be able to get anywhere.

I've never heard of an android phone having issues synching...
could you elaborate?
Did you clear the cache for it? Apparently that android.acore.process is (media storage) "I THINK" when you go to manage applications. I just know every time I cleared the cache and such for that it went away.
Also, did you know if the Vibrant screen were to crack Samsung will send you another one completely FREE? (rumor) I wanted to know if anyone can justify this. Cause T-mobile wants $130
Here is how the whole mess went down...
Was on my 2nd vibrant and all was well... Gps had no issues, bionix 1.3.1 was snappy and smooth, all accounts synced ... I was a happy camper.
I went to download barnacle wifi teather and got a wierd super user conflict.
Uninstalled SU and reinstalled... still no barnacle, factory reset, no barnacle, for some reason SU just wouldn't play nice.
Went up down around and through SU, uninstall reinstall update yadda yadda yadda.
Odin back to stock... Sync just fine
Re root... sync fail
Flash bionix...sync fail
When I would go to accts and sync, the google sync worked, however face book and twitter would cycle all the way to "login failed try again ""
If I went through the contacts (updates on the top right of main contacts screen) it would say "android score process "
So I went bare bones odin back to stock and removed all traces of root and bionix from the Senior card.
Result was google sync but nuttn else.
My 3rd vibrant came this am
Rooted running bionix, all accts sync but have yet to DL barnacle... Might do that tomorrow.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
^ WHY would you use barnacle? That app is garbage compared to the built in tether / wireless AP..
go to menu settings > Wireless > Mobile AP.... turns your phone into a hotspot.
I'm sorry, but your issues sound like user error man. Feel free to hit me up if you need help.

barnacle failed because you have to disable the wpa supplicant option in settings.
hopefully somebody can shed some light on something for me. I had just started fresh, sd card and all. I flashed PWGB v2.0b3 with pit. I was in the process of reinstalling my apps all fresh from market, sdcard was wiped so no titanium restores. I noticed the alert sound like i had received a email and noticed a file was downloading itself with the name of qqsecure2.2.0(something something) with alot of chinese characters. The icon beside the file being downloaded looked similar to a sun if i remember right. I have a list of the apps i was restoring but have no idea how far down the list i was at. Again all apps were from the market. I know some malware apps exist but i was under the impression you had to go out of your way to catch one. If i were a betting man i would say that this was innocent and normal but it kinda freaked me out as the phone is rooted and i do banking on it occasionally.
Simple searches didn't yield any results for me on xda and nothing in english on google. Anyone have any idea if this was known and good or is my immediate shutting down and reflashing warrented?
Though it does sound weird. To be safe, try to re-flash it or just go to MIUI. I know and have talked to a English dev from that team. And they have a background service that prevents anything from accessing the data partition

id love to go with miui or cm but im afraid that i need absolute stablilty and fear such roms cant offer it at this time. by no means am i knocking those roms but i cant have any surprises at all so i shy away from those roms. the whole reason i was starting back fresh was occasional hipups with the TKSGB kern on my particular device.
After having it happen again I happened to be paying more attention and noticed that a app was to blame. Greek mythology is the offender. I installed lookout before redownloading and for what its worth it let the app pass right through. I'm pretty certain thats the app responsible and its still on the market. Just surprised because I hadn't heard of any trojans on the us market.

Hey, this it's my first time posting and I had a question for you guys.
Does anyone here use Lookout Mobile Security?
I've seen a lot of screenshots of homescreens and I never see the Lookout icon on the notification bar.
Is it not needed or do you guys use
something different?
Thanks for your help!

That's a good question. I guess I just downloaded it assuming that I need it. Is the antivirus useless then?
Also, it backs up my pictures/contacts and has the "locate phone" feature. Are there any other apps that can do this?
Thanks

I used this thing for quite a while.....its great in theory. Here are the things that made me un-install it.
1) Could not locate my phone through GPS while indoors
2) website continuously said that message failed to be delivered to my phone while trying to make my device scream.....although I got every one of them and phone would not scream.
3) most importantly while doing batch updates from the market I would have to sit there and watch not only each app being downloaded and installed....but then had to wait for lookout to scan each one...which ultimately made the update process SLLLOOOOWWW.
I initially installed this just for the phone locator service but Wheres My Droid does that and it works great. IDK but maybe the paid version of Lookout is better but WAAAYYYY to expensive for a app that is technically NOT NEEDED.
I use WaveSecure... it does all the same stuff except virus protection. Everytime I've tested it, the lock has worked. I haven't tested the remote wipe feature. Also, I have it set so that once a day, it will backup all my pictures and sms and whatever else it offers backup for. That way, if I have to wipe it, I'll have all my stuff.
I used it for a while on my captivate. I stopped using it because when ever I had it installed the market would stall periodically. It would sit and say it was downloading something. Clearing the market didn't help, but uninstalling lookout would.
I use Google+ to auto upload my pictures, and SMS backup+ to back up SMS and call logs to my gmail account.
I never tried the locate, scream or wipe features so I don't miss them. I did notice WP7 included them built in, and worked well. Apple has integrated some now too. I think its only a matter of time before Google does the same.

My wives phone nightly is attempting (and succeeding) to backup her entire music library, pictures and videos to their server. We've disabled the sync and we're not subscribed to Vcast. It wouldn't be a huge problem except that her line isn't unlimited data and she's barely under her data allowance each month. I'm unlimited and I still don't use near the data her phone claims she does. I'm on XDA so you know I'm VERY data intensive. Comes with the territory right? Has anyone else ran into this problems? If so do you have any solutions?
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
Is the phone rooted?
If so, just delete the VCast files from /system/app
Alternately (and probably safer if possible) you can try to see if you can "disable" any VZW services that you're not using by going to Settings > Apps > All Apps. Find the Vcast service app (and also probably HTC Media Upload Service), select them, and hopefully the "Disable" button is available for those apps.
Disable button is a benefit of having a 4.0 and above ROM. Unfortunately I've not rooted these phones so it's not even an option. Good suggestion though.

Ahh, boo. You're right.
OK, so go into the accounts section in settings and make sure the HTC account is disabled and none of the services are set to sync. I can't remember the GB interface off the top of my head so I can't be more specific right now, sorry..
But without root, you'll likely have to figure out how to shut the service down via its interface in the settings menu.
The basic info/solution tech support offered was to watch when it attempts to start and disable data. She could find no logical reason for it to act like it is .

That hardly seems like a solution. So basically they say you have to babysit your phone and disable data when it tries to do something you haven't told it to do?
If it were me, I'd bite the bullet and wipe it. Hopefully she used the Google services for contacts and stuff instead of VZWs so most everything should automatically come back. I'd rather spend a day restoring my phone than have to bother with monitoring it all the time because its acting up for unknown reasons..
Might as well take this as your opportunity to unlock the bootloader and root it too, since the unlock process forces you to wipe the phone anyways..
Plus once you unlock it, you can use Amon Ra to do nandroid backups and then your phone is forever protected from stupid things like this, as long as you backup every now and then.
Go to settings > accounts & settings . Look for any Verizon or vcast account, you click it, unchecked box for "backup music"
Just unlock it and put ICS on!
Problem solved.
Did she go on to her My Verizon page on the Verizon website? I noticed this new Vcast cloud feature when I was changing features on my phone's service last night. (I removed wifi Hotspot since the Hotspot app on the Rezound doesn't work properly and they ain't gonna fix it anytime soon.) Under the features section their are several cloud options. The default 500 megabytes options is Free and was already active on my features even though I don't remember activating it. However, there was an option to remove this feature. Might be worth a try.
