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.

hey, to make a long story short since i'm sure you don't wanna have to read a whole page,
this my first Android phone coming from iPhone. I had originally gotten the skyrocket, but after getting throttled the second day and wanting to be able to customize and reading the i777 is the superior device, I decided to swap back to the i777 yesterday.
I had the skyrocket rooted and used titanium backup to backup my apps and system data. so I rooted this phone and tried to restore ask the apps and system data. everything at first looked like a perfect switch, but now I found problems. so far from what I've found, when I try to change ringtones using Android system the phone freezes and then it said that it had to force close.
the purge problem is the alarms, when I try to edit one or create a new one, it freezes again and force closes.
does anyone know a way to make it work while keeping all my apps and not having to start from scratch again? I'd be fine with having to redo all the settings and options if I have to
thanks for any help

TiBu has an option for only "missing apps and data" when restoring - this is the only safe option (in rare cases even it fails, but it's rare).
There's also an experimental "system data migration" option in TiBu that's off by default - I've never used it, and be warned that it may not work at all when trying to change to a completely different device.
ok, so you're saying
instead of doing the "restore apps plus system data", do the "restore missing apps with data"?

This is exactly the kind of attitude that causes newbies to get flamed. This is NOT the Help Desk. No one is paid to help you in here. We expect you to FIND help for yourself by reading and when no help can be found, THEN post. Laziness is not to be rewarded. Anyone familiar with TiBU knows that you should almost never restore system data with it because it will cause problems except in specific situations. Had you done a little searching and reading you would have likely come across this info as it is well documented in here. Be thankful Entropy took pity on you and gave you the right answer despite your laziness.

Yes.
(stupid 10char minimum post limit)
oh ok thanks, and the best way to redo everything is do a factory reset and restore from backup that way? I will still have my root correct?

and Miami, its attitudes like that that give off a bad presence of forums, I NEVER post on forums unless I can't find anything i'm looking for and in desperate need of knowing what i'm looking for. does that help you out in why I posted?
your attitude reflects on everyone. if you don't like my post and must assume that I haven't searched, then there's no need to post and make yourself look bad.

My attitude is fine. TiBU is one of THE most used apps on Android phones and by users in here and if you're saying you searched and did not find an answer about this then I say you're full of it. Like I said, be thankful Entropy helped you out because more often than not he feels the same way about this kind of thing. Redundant threads clog up the forums and it is always better to post to an existing related thread than to start a new one. All members should keep that in mind before hitting the Submit button.

If you're on a stock ROM I believe superuser will be wiped. So, you'll have to re-root. If you're on a custom ROM and do a factory reset, root should remain intact.
All he has to do is really wipe and install the rom he was using. Just do as they said with titanium backup and you'll be fine.

Ya, I did a factory rest and my root ended up staying on the phone and I was able to restore everything and
Have no problem. Thanks for your help guys. This is my first Android after coming from an iPhone for 4 years. Its so much better.

Hi there.
Neebie coming in...
I just got my hands on the SGS2 2 weeks before x-mas. But the last week it has started to jinx... It randomly reboots, the app "Talk" seems to start randomly every 10 minutes or so. Accuweather is extremely eager to show the forecast. I have tried a reset to factory settings, installed Lookout, but it just wont stop.
I can not delete the apps, as i have not rooted the handset. My employer wont allow rooting because of warranty issues.
Have any experienced similiar odd behaviour, and if so, is there something to do, without rooting, and then deleting these apps permanteley, or should i return the handset?

Not heard anything like that before! Will your boss allow you to update the firmware? You can download a stock firmware and update it.
Make sure your signed out of Talk, accuweather, go into settings and set sync to manual if you can.
Enter recovery, volume up + home button + power button and do a reset from there.
Well, my first guess is to do a factory reset.
If you have Google contacts, all your contacts will be backed up so no harm trying.
btw Lookout won't solve anything like this.
If you return the handset the first thing they will do is a factory reset .
Accuweather reads like settings .
Lookout wont help .
I would check for an update on KIES if you have already factory reset .
Failing that its a service centre as you dont want to go down the no warranty fix routes .
jje
I just mentioned lookout incase someone would point out malware etc.
Ill check the firmware thingy.
Cheers

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?

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.

I need help, I've been looking through forums and forums, skimming to no resolve. I didn't want to ask for help but alas i am here, on my knees, please, anybody, help me
alright enough with the dramatics
about a month ago i had the bright idea to root my phone, at the time i was on me7. done with very little problems, all of which were solved.
I download a few root apps, including freedom (allowing you to make iap for free) and an app that allows your phone to download apps from another country, like the app market enabler but that wasn't the one i was using .
ota mi1 comes out and naturally through my excitement i update with out reading forums about what may happen to my phone, nor do i reset the market info back to Verizon usa.
now that im on mi1 my root is broken but the phone works properly minus 2 situations i have no access to google play market, every attempted to access the market is thwarted with a warning "unfortunately, Google play store has stopped" and all i can do is press OK. the other is that i have the custom boot screen when i turn on my phone.
i deal with this small inconvenience for a few weeks, slowly growing more irritated and my own stupidity.
Verizon then releases OTA MJ7 and up naturally update. no difference. I was hoping at least the market would work again
so i take matters in to my own hands (again) and try to hard reset my phone. market still no works, custom still exists
i try a few other things but no changes. finally i turn to odin and try to flash a stock restore. but the odin fails the second i press start.
I throw my hands in the air and run away screaming. im frustrated and need help, is there anything i can do to get the market to work and the phone back to stock

A great help! thank you so much, being a noob to all this has been overwhelming and interesting so I'm very happy you came along and helped me out.
my phone is almost back to normal, im assuming there's no way to get around the custom boot screen is there?
regardless if there is or not, thank you again for your help
