Hello,
Got the 'apps stuck on installing' problem with the Market on new 2.1 firmware. I've read in other posts that it's possible to fix this by clearing the Market cache and data. However, on the X10 it's only possible to clear the Market cache and this doesn't seem to fix it.
Anyone found another way to fix (because I stupidly uninstalled the 'stuck' apps from the Apps Management settings menu and now I can't reinstall them )?
Generally enjoying 2.1, though (Angry Birds! )
Thanks!
I had this happen last week with a number of apps (all stuck at "Installing") at once. There was no option to cancel, and rebooting didn't help. Eventually, I just re-flashed my firmware (and added JIT to boot).
Knock on wood... so far so good.
errase all data of google, restart. click on market put ur data , must be fix it. thats wut i did

I tried deleting the Google account from within 'Settings->Accounts & Sync' but the X10 told me that other apps were using this account and the only way to remove it was to factory reset the phone. How did you erase all your Google data?

I was really hoping not to have to do that - it's taken a while to get the X10 running something like I want it after the 2.1 update
Download the apk from somewhere else of the thing you installed thats stuck and install it. That restarted the one I accidentally uninstalled while updating it
In my case fixed with reflashing, nothing else was helpful

Have you rooted your X10? If so, make sure ou install and use Titanium Backup. If you keep your backups up-to-date, re-flashing is a minor inconvenience as you can restore (almost) everything to the way it was.
No, I've not rooted it. Generally I just use the phone and apps and don't try to do anything too techy with it. Is it still worth rooting (apart from to use Titanium Backup?)
A HUGE thanks in advance for any help you can offer:
I have a Viesonic G-Tablet, and I've flashed a couple of different ROM's on it - TNT Lite 4.4 and VEGAn-TAB 7.0 RC1.
LOOOOONG story short:
Tried to install Ubuntu, no luck.
Downloaded ZPad to try it out, installed. Didn't like it, used ClocworkMod to recover to a previous TNT Lite 4.4 install. From there, reflashed to Vegan...
And that's when the problems started. Namely, Market no longer works properly. None of my downloads are successful. It gives a "Download error - Download was unsuccessful, please try again."
So, after trying again to go back to TNT Lite and having the same trouble, I NVFlashed back to stock, wiped EVERYTHING per the directions on XDA, in the order prescribed - did everything by-the-book, and still no luck on any ROM. TNT Lite, Vegan - both of them adamantly refuse to download anything from the market.
I've searched to my wits end not only in this thread, but others as well. I've reset the data, reset the cache, uninstalled the market update - you name it, I've tried it.
Could it be your internet connection? Do other devices on your network download from the internet fine?
Thanks for the question. I guess I should have been a little more specific: Yes, great connection. I can browse the web fine, even download from Amazon's appstore - but that's where it ends. The weirdest thing is that I have noticed that I can download Firefox from the Marketplace, but literally - that's it. Nothing else, and I've tried close to 40 different apps now. All fail to download.
I've tried clearing the cache, etc...
I was even desperate enough to pretty much do a system wipe and come up clean. I used ClockworkMod to format everything - even the SDcard. Made sure to set the partition size to 2048/0, the whole nine yards. Wiped all the data, cleared/formatted cache, so I'm at a loss.
*UPDATE 4/18/11 - On a whim, I decided to use ClockworkMod to reset my User Data, and signed my tablet in under another Google account I had. As I type this, I'm downloading all the apps that I was unable to download with my "usual" account. So maybe there's a bug on Google's side? How would I even go about fixing that?
I'm having this same problem. NVFLASH and reFLASH numerous times and still no luck can someone please help. Can't install anything from market at all. it download and as soon as it finish dl and start to install it will restarted itself and nothing happen. please help. THanks
Exact problem I'm having. I've tried five different roms, from Vegan to CM7, to older TnT's and Calkulin's, nothing will let me download and install from the market. I did yet another full NVFlash last night and repartitioned the tablet, still no luck after flashing CM7. It started off allowing me to download a few dozen apps then giving me the download error, but now the first app I try gives me that.
Did anyone else here come down from TwoTapsX or another 1.2 based rom? Seems to me the issue started right about the time I NVFlashed down from that.

I just tried this myself, sure enough I can download with another Gmail account, but not my main one.
This has to be an issue with Google...I am having the same issue also.
How the hell did I quote myself up there?
Mine is downloading again, all I did was sign in as my backup account, wipe data and dalvik cache, reflash then fix permissions. When i logged in again it worked. Don't know which step actuallly fixed it.
I just deleted the data under app management and they started working again for me.

I had the same. Uninstalling Flash player seem to have solved the issue for me
Me too
I seem to have the same problem however I do not get an error message at all, I just see the application in the notification bar preparing to download except instead of even downloading it basically just disappears. I had this problem ever since installing Vegan tab 5.1.1.
I had the same problem...drove me crazy...finally figured out that you can just log intp the market on my laptop and install everything from there....
Hey everybody -
This is my first post here. I'm sorry if there is an answer already posted to this and if i'm just reposting, but i haven't seen any of this information anywhere, and apparently i have to make 5 q&a posts before i can start posting stuff where i need too, so i'm trying to throw some useful info to the community to gain this privilage
Anyways, onto the topic -
Many people that are installing a new ROM on there EVO 3D are getting an error when google tries to auto install apps after flashing. The error states that there is not enough space left on their devices to continue installing apps, even though there are reports of users having 700+mb free for app storage. Developers are claiming that it's because you didn't wipe dalvik/cache before flashing. I've found that this is not true, but I do know the fix, but don't completely under stand why this happens.
The fix:
The fix to this problem is a very simple one.
1. Install the rom like you normally would (boot to recovery, NAND backup, wipe data/factory reset, wipe dalvik cache, wipe partition cache, and wipe cache, then flash from zip, then select reboot device)
2. When the phone is booted up, type in all your info as usual to sync your accounts. When your done with this step, you'll notice google tries to start installing all of your apps, which it'll eventually crash on due to space.
3. You can do this before or after it throws you the error message about space, but the next step is reboot your phone back into recovery. From there, you're going to wipe your dalvik cache and cache (again), and then reboot the phone again.
That's it! You should now be able to install all of your apps again without getting storage errors!
I'm not a developer, but if i'm to take a guess at why this happens, i'm guessing something about the install, or maybe even the initial boot process of a rom being ran for the first time, for some reason is flooding our cache space, thus firing false alarms for being out of space. Therefor, by cleaning the cache space after the rom install is completed and booted, the phone no longer notices the space issues. I could be wrong on this, but this seems like a logical answer to me.
If this helps, let me know! Also feel free to correct me if i'm wrong on anything i posted, but this method seems to work for me! If this needs to be in a different category, feel free to move it! As a new member, i'm very limited on where i can post things...
Enjoy your newly rooted and modded EVO 3D!

no problem! this community has helped me TONS in the past, even though i haven't said anything about it (due to not being able to post in developer threads yet). I reflashed and wiped my phone about 4-5 times before realizing that the cache had to be cleaned AFTER the install and first boot of the new rom, and all the dev's kept stating it was from not wiping prior to flashing, which i did every time. Hopefully this will save some people time and headaches and i'm sure the dev's will soon find a fix to this, as they seem to work very fast at finding bugs and cleaning em up.
more or less i would say its because the market will download apps to the cache first...then install them to the phone...
the insufficient space is mostly what happens when the cache gets filled.
thats my educated guess on the matter.
also welcome to xda. you're gonna like it here
When I do this, it forgets all my 130 apps and I have to go look for them manually. Only ROMs that are using the new market do this to me.
Welcome to xda.
Another suggestion to add to the nice info here is. When you boot up a rom for the first time dont sign in. Immediately go to settings/accounts & sync and uncheck auto sync. Then head to settings/privacy then uncheck automatically restore. Then sign in. This is a option for anyone who doesn't want to reboot.

that would make a lot of sense as well - if that's the case, maybe people should let google market crash the cache before they clear it out again? that's what i did when i got it working... it was one of those things where i just watched and wondered, "is it going to do it all this time?", and of course when it didn't, that's when i discovered re-clearing the cache again in recovery fixes it. I noticed that by clearing the application cache (settings/applications/manage programs/market/clear cache) the problem still persists, and the only way to get google apps to install again is by clearing cache in recovery, which made me think it was an installation/boot thing. but i'm still learning, like many of us here
thanks for the input!

this is an issue i noticed as well - i had to re-add my apps manually after it only added 24 of the 120 i had going. but hey, beggers can't be choosers, and i'm just mostly happy that i got a new rom going with everything functioning properly within 2 weeks of the phones release!
If anyone knows how to re-start the app sync succesfully without space errors, that might be good info to include in this post

Did you clear the cache or data in the app itself or from recovery?? If you clear cache from recovery, this shouldn't happen. If it still does, usually downloading another app rebuilds the market cache.
What you can do to fix it is use Titanium Backup and there is a setting: Menu > More > Market Doctor and it fixes this issue. But, I think it only works in the paid version. It's well worth the few bucks though!

Recovery. Downloading another app doesn't rebuild the cache either. Now it's gotten to the point where no ROM will restore any of my apps at all, it basically thinks I've never downloaded anything. So now I've gotta try and remember the 130 or so apps I had installed.
Not complaining, just an observation. One of the caveats of rooting a new device
Welcome to the community.
A really easy way to fix this is to just clear the cache and data for the Market in Settings > Applications, and that has worked for numerous people using my ROM but I don't think it'd be any different for any other ROM.

I tried this method on vipers rc1.2 and supra ROM, and it didn't fix it for either - I continued to get insufficient space warnings, even after rebooting. The only thing that worked for my device was going into recovery to clear the cache.
You can also go into terminal emulator and delete the Download.apk files in the cache.
You'd think Google would be a little smarter at this. All the market would need to do is download fewer apps at a time, as the files are cleared once the installation is complete.

I feel a s0be market fix coming on. Although I have not seen the issue, you could pwn the cache and symlink it out of /data and into /system. A genious linux guy, seriously, genious, made this hack back on the hero, fixed market download errors EVERY time.

You could try reflashing the rom and signing into your google account right away. And let it sync. Just a thought.

That won't make any difference if there is no room to actually store the downloads. Downloads from the Market go into /cache while downloading and then move to /data/app or /system/app, depending on the app. Hence why clearing cache fixes it.

That's what causes the market problem - I tried wiping and flashing both roms multiple times with the same result - if you flash a new ROM with the new market, and your market tries to sync a large number of apps, its going to flood the cache space and stop allowing the installation of apps until you go into recovery and clear the cache there... Then it all works fine, except for having to add all your apps one by one.

I tried something similar, but not exactly like you said earlier. I set my accounts to sync, but immediately went into the market while it was syncing, and cancelled everything. This would've still left the user picking each app to re-download one by one, because I believe there's no way to restart the app sync. I ended up buying titanium, and used that to put all my apps back on - its much less of a headache.
Not only will My Galaxy S2 not let me install new apps (trying to install VX Connectbot at a little over 800K) although it has 1.97 GB of internal storage space free, it won't let me update four apps either. They were sitting there trying to update for about half an hour before I gave up.
There's nothing wrong with the (Wifi) Internet Connection, as proved by other apps on the phone as well as by the Google Play Store updater.
If I go into Settings, Apps to look at the Play Store entry, it never finishes updating the Cache and Data storage figures, so the 'Clear Data' button is greyed out. If it wasn't I could clear the data and force the app to re-download it from Google's server. I've also tried rebooting but this makes no difference.
I really don't want to have to do a factory reset to fix this so I'd be grateful for any ideas. The phone is running stock Jelly Bean supplied by Samsung.

I don't think Stock JB is rolled out yet by Samsung. But anyways try to clear cache and dalvik cache from recovery. This mostly resolves issues in any ROM.
Secondly, what are you referring to when you mention internal storage? If it's data partition then 1.97 is total size and not free. So please check that.
Lastly what ROM are you coming from? If its ICS then a factory reset is strongly recommended.

Sorry for the confusion. I'm trying to handle a million things at the same time, which is always when something else goes wrong. It is, of course, running ICS 4.0.4. I thought about clearing the cache via recovery and I'll do that if I don't find another solution. The phone won't be out of action for too long.

It was running Gingerbread when I got it but I did the factory reset before doing an OTA update to ICS.
No issues
Since you are now on 4.0.4 do not do a factory reset since your kernel might have the Brick bug.
There are threads that provide steps on re flashing ROM over 4.0.4. You will need to first flash a custom kernel that does not have this bug like Siyah or cf-root and then flash a ROM.
Just ensure that you follow the steps properly to get a clean install.

I powered down and booted into Recovery, wiped the cache, and rebooted. It only took about 40 seconds to reboot which seems strange to me as under 2.2 and, I think, 2.3, it took a few minutes to rebuild the cache. Then the first thing that happens on keying in my pin and reaching the home page, I get the message, "Unfortunately, eBay has stopped." Maybe this has something to do with the problem, maybe it doesn't.
One other thing I noticed earlier but didn't mention as it didn't seem relevant is that some apps have changed their name in Settings, Applications. For example, Picshop Lite is now listed as air.ca.esdot.PicShop.Lite.
Anyway, it has made no difference. I look at any app in the list and it sits there saying "Computing...". I can force-stop running apps but I can't install apps, uninstall apps, or update apps. I'm going to leave this overnight (it's late here) and if I can't think of anything else before tomorrow I'll have to do a factory reset and reinstall everything.
Thanks, acekay, your post appeared while I was still editing mine. I knew absolutely nothing about this bug so you might have saved me from bricking the phone. The page you linked to mentions CWM. Since mine is a Samsung stock ROM it would be the stock recovery I'd be using. Is this likely to brick the phone? I guess it's better to be on the safe side and follow the instructions.
I'm also wondering about my legal position here. I got the phone from Virgin Mobile (UK) on a monthly plan. It was running Gingerbread before I did the OTA update to ICS and the update went OK. If the phone messes up and I do a factory reset and that bricks the phone, who is responsible, I wonder, Virgin Mobile or Samsung...
It took some lateral thinking but I think I've solved it. I powered down the phone, took out the micro-SD card, and powered up again. I went into Settings, Applications, Google Play Store and cleared the Data. I then ran the Play Store app and ran the four updates that were pending and everything went OK, so I tried installing VX Connectbot and that went OK, too, as did uninstalling the original Connectbot. As a precaution I uninstalled the eBay app just in case that was causing the problem. It's possible that somehow the eBay app got installed onto the SD card in error and that might have something to do with it stopping with an error every time I rebooted the phone.
I've noticed that the names in Settings, Applications are all now back to normal so I'm guessing that in fact it was something in Play Store's data that was messed up. Of course, that might have been caused by the eBay app. <Sarah Connor> God, a person could go crazy thinking about this. </Sarah Connor>
Anyway, thanks again, acekay. Working through my problem and your responses led to a solution.
Good to know its solved. So the issue was with moving the apps to SD . Better still that you tried this before a reset.
In case you plan on playing with custom ROMs in future just keep this bug in mind. Better to be cautious than sorry.

Well, I can't be sure. I'm nowhere near needing to move apps to the card yet, and since I've uninstalled the eBay app I've no way of knowing if that's where it was. Or if it was causing the problem. But I do know that I won't be staying on ICS forever. If Samsung ever get round to giving us JB, I'll update to that. If they don't I'll look for a non-stock (and non-Touchwiz, thankfully) ROM. So thanks for telling me about the bug.
Same problem with SGS2 4.1.2, stock rooted rom. No external SD card.
I noticed one thing. When I do the following:
Settings->Application manager->All
it displays about 200M free and 1.7GB used, but after few seconds it changes to about 450M free and 1.5G used.
At the same time it (long pressing home button and select memory usage->storage) shows 1.77GB/1.97GB free memory of system storage. So only about 200M is free. The same result is obtained in Teminal Emulator by inputting DF command. So it is very strange that in Application manager the free system memory is increased from 200M to 450M but in terminal and memory manager system manager is constant 200M.
So what the algorithm to solve the problem of install or update apps from market?

Try clearing cache using some application like ES Task Manager, I had useless cache data of about 400Mb once and the biggest contributor was chrome at 100Mb.. And try using apps like SD Maid which will help you clean out clutter.

Hi there,
I'm running cyanogenmod 11 on my s3 and I'm having difficulty updating/installing whatsapp. I had whatsapp installed and was told I needed to update the app otherwise it'd stop working. I didn't update in time and sure enough it stopped working. I tried to update the app to continue using it but it said I had insufficient storage available. I've got plenty of storage space on both my SD (internal) and external cards and I've checked every partition and there's lots of space. The issue does not seem to relate to lack of space.
Since then I've tried everything to get it working, first uninstalling the app and reinstalling, deleting everything manually through root explorer, then wiping the cache and davik cache, odexing all my apps and then removing all the odex files through lucky patcher. Nothings worked. Unfortunately it doesn't let me use lucky patcher troubleshoot which I've heard works. Everytime I press on troubleshoot in lucky patcher it says I need to update busybox and install supersu, which I've done plenty of times to no avail.
Please can anyone help out. I'm fearing that I'm going to have to restore everything. If anyone knows how to get the troubleshoot in lucky patcher working or just fix my whatsapp issue all together that'd be great. Thanks!
Can anyone help with this?
Thanks.

Yeah of course. I've had to reboot plenty of times but nothing I've tried so far has worked.

Did you do a hard reset?

Not yet. I'm trying to avoid that if possible because I'm currently abroad and away from my computer. A hard reset would put me back onto stock wouldn't it? Is there any other solution out there?
