The last couple of days, I have not been able to download apps or updates from the Android Market to my Flyer. I can download from the Amazon app store, but not from the Android Market.
It says it's going to download, makes an attempt, and then nothing happens. No error message is displayed.
Any ideas how to fix this?
I had a similar problem also posted on XDA. It was suggested to me to do a factory reset/clear data which worked. Problem has not come back.

Mine gets stuck trying to do the factory reset, and I have to force close. I tried to hold down the volume down button while powering up. Still nothing and it went to home screen. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Is this over WiFi or are u on 3g?
It's over WiFi.
Hmm I'm over WiFi as well n haven't had ne problems. Weird that amazon works n the reg one doesn't. Have any weird port fwding going on? Wouldn't hurt to reset the router just for fun to see if it made a difference ....
My probs are more with hard resetting the Flyer right now. But thanks for the input!

So, you didn't switch-off the fastboot option? Factory setting is on and with it you can't reboot the device and not enter the bootloader.
To switch it off, see here
I ended up checking youtube and saw how someone reset the Evo. I held down the volume down button, and then the power button together (took at least 10 seconds!) then released both when I saw the hboot screen come on. I was able to hard reset it from the menu there. I can now download/update from the Market again. Thanks so much for the input. Hope it helps anyone else having problems.
Glad to hear its working again mate... Cheers!

Well i need some get. this is not my 1st PPC since i have had thr 6700, titan and not the touch pro but i guess i dont know what im doing...
so i downloaded a few cabs, nothing big. i dont mess with a lot. got some themes, lumos, touch response etc.
i the problems started when i downloaded my last theme but im not 100 % sure that was what caused the problem. i did use advance config and change some things but nothing major, just some setting on the program that said "advised"
well, i had problems and i wanted to delete everything and start over but i couldnt delete a theme.
to make a story short, i was at the mall today and stopped by the sprint store to see if the tech could help me...
some how files got delete and from what i was told the tech couldnt even do a master reset!!! she couldnt figure it out... the phone works but its missing some things.
can i fix this? download a custom ROM? and use that?
i wouldnt think advance config can delete something, or a theme.... i dont know what i did but something happened.
any help would be great
thanks
hold power, down volume and ok button all while pushing the reset button. release the reset button but continue to hold the other three untill the phone reboots into the hard reset menu. hit the volume up button and tada bobs your uncle. if that doesnt work selet clear memory in the settings menu and follow the prompts
the sprint tech couldnt get it to work. she tired a master reset and nothing. they said files where missing.
she has the same phone and tired a lot of things
i dont get how i can erase files like this, i didnt mess with any files... the only thing i have done is download simple cabs
i did use advance config but once again i didnt delete anything. just selected what it said was best.
If I'm hearing you correctly you need to do a Hard Reset....
To do so there are two ways:
First way:
While phone is OFF, press volume down, cener d-pad, and power button until message comes on. Press volume up to complete.
Second way:
While phone is on, press volume down, center d-pad, and stylus-reset until message comes on
it wont do a hard reset
i have done it, sometimes it beeps... i get the htc logo and thats about it. i never get a message or anything, it just goes black like a soft reset
the only diff is that it wont show the sprint logo like when i have done a soft reset... it shows the htc logo
now im worried about downloading cabs. i never had this problem. and i didnt delete anything from the phone. so i dont know who those important files they say are missing got deleted.
the guy at the sprint store on base dialed ##786# and hit the call button, he says that will do a reset or something... and it wouldnt work
nothing else? no one else has a idea of what happened
this is my 3rd ppc and this is a 1st, it would be nice to know what could have cause this problem so i dont do it again.
you guys are no help
Have you tried flashing the ROM over on it? Will it connect to the computer via Activesync?

LMAO!! Now that's funny. The guy at the sprint store doesn't have a clue.
If you do ##786# on the Sprint phone, it should bring up a EPST screen. Which when you press menu, there is an option to reset it, however I doubt that does anything to solve your problem.
I would suggest, trying to flash the ROM back on the phone (if you haven't tried that already)
i have never connected the phone using activesync... i just got the phone like 2 weeks ago ( replaced my mogul)
i was thinking about trying that but havent done it for 2 reasons
1. i have never flashed a ROM
2. im getting a new TP, it has been ordered... if i get to keep the one i have now i will try to flash but i dont want to try it if i have to give up the phone. only to have to change it back
i do want to find out why this happened. like i said, i like to add themes and other programs i like but im worried about messing my new one and then ill be out of luck.
ive searched for things such as "sleep crash", "sleep bug", "screen wont turn on" etc. but can seem to find anything that tells me anything other than turn off wifi (which i tried to no avail). My issue is that when i press the power button for 1 second to turn off my archos 70 screen it will not turn back on. Same thing happens when i let it fall asleep. If i leave it plugged in and not allow it to turn off screen i have no issues. My apologies if i just don't know what words to search for ... i tried. In on the .4 firmware (latest) with no mods. This has happened through the last 3 firmwares from archos. Any ideas?
Have a you tried a full reinitialization (in settings > repair and formatting) and then reinstalling the latest firmware? If you have just been updating the firmware, the problem may have been deeper.
Thats strange... I have a similar issue with my 101: when i leave my tablet asleep for more than 20min, I can't turn it back on without doing a hard reset. Now it only happens when I simply shut off the screen and leave it alone. If I hold the power button and use deep sleep though, it works just fine. When I can't get it started I notice the little power light is on, but the screen stays black... any suggestions??
I have read somewhere in this forums that re-calibrating your screen from Settings might help, but I still didn't tied - if someone try please post results.

i had the same problem on my 32, albeit not that frequently. Downloading the FW and reflashing it seems to have made the problem go away.
You know what? Strangely enough after I replied to your post I downloaded the latest fw (2.1.4) and the problem seems to have gone away no special flash no repair I just installed and rebooted and so far no prob... I will keep testing this and post results
Edit* Ok so far so good... no problems. I'm actually surprised I'm getting better response from the device despite everyone's warnings about 2.1.4. But that's another topic. I think its just a bad install of your current FW, but I'm just guessing... My device has had the issue since I got it, I just decided to live with it but like I said the latest update fixed it... So it HAS to be the FW

err I'm afraid that I spoke too soo. My device keeps getting stuck and won't awake from sleep. This seems to happen most after switching wifi on or off, specifically whilst the device is playing music.

how are you installing the firmware? maybe im doing it wrong. I let the device update to latest 2.1.4 and then i wiped it via the settings and repair menu in android.
Edit**
like this??:
Step 1: Download the android 2.2 firmware for your archos tablet from here,you might a get a false positive notification from your browser as they are unaware of .AOS format, so ignore that and download it.
Step 2:Go to Menu > Settings > Device Storage & USB connection > USB connection mode of your tablet and set the connection mode to Mobile Media Device (MTP) and now connect your Tablet to pc.
Step 3:Now when the tablet is detected you will see a hard drive icon,double tap and open it and copy and paste the firmware (.AOS) file into the hard drive(make sure you dont copy it in any folder inside it like Music,Videos etc).
Unplug the USB connection and the Archos device will automatically locate the update file and will prompt you for the update,just follow the screen options and you are done,if it does not prompt you for an update then you might have accidentally misplaced the file in one of the folders,just locate the .AOS file from the file manager and and open it to start the update.
No no it wasn't that complicated... It was actually the simplest fix for a difficult problem. My device when I got it was running 2.1.2 out the box... Even then It had the screen problem. When I got the chance I installed 2.1.3 OVER THE AIR. Straight from Archos. Still had the issue though, I figured it would have been fixed but was greatly disappointed... Then I sort of just lived with the problem for awhile... I saw that the 2.1.4 update was released but was wary about downloading it because sooo many people are having issues. Just the other day though, the device cut off on me again and I figured to hell with it... So I downloaded the 2.1.4 OTA as well... no website, no manual install, I just let the device run its course on its own. After the update, it rebooted normally and it's been working great since... Sorry to hear not everyone is so fortunate... I really hope this helps somewhat
Im on stock Droid DNA ROM. Have the latest update. Every time I try to open the camera it says "Unable to start the camera." I have already hard reset the phone 2 times and restarted. I also cleared the camera data and cache. I don't know what to do now..
Try downloading a camera app from the market and see how it works. If that app also can't get it to start then it may be a hardware issue. If it can then you know there is something wrong with the stock camera app.

This is the same error I get on the CM10.1 ROM since the camera isn't working yet... as everyone else has mentioned it's most likely a hardware issue especially if you've tried wiping the entire phone and still have the problem.
Had this happen today. Did you ever get it straightened out?
If I try a photo the flash comes on and will not go off unless I reboot. If I try a video the screen goes black and freezes. I've rebooted, "hard" rebooted by holding power button down, turned off fastboot, cleared data and cache.
I tried CameraMX from the market and it doesn't work.
I did not buy my phone from Verizon. What are my options?
It doesn't matter where you bought it, HTC will warranty it as long as you talk to them like a human and explain the situation while being respectful.

Thanks bud. I'll give it a shot. I really like HTC phones I hope this (along with whatever may happen with the warranty) doesn't leave a bad taste in my mouth.
So, I've been resetting, force closing and clearing data the past 2 days throughout the day for the camera. Usually, after I've did a reset the camera will open, but when I try to take a picture the flash comes on and stays on the the app freezes. The led flash will not go off until I do a reset. A force close won't even shut it off.
Today after a reset, I opened the camera and instead of trying to take a pic I cycled through the flash settings. As soon as I did the interface switched to portrait, (like the phone was held) and it took pics and video like normal!!!!!!!!
It works now. What a crazy problem.
Completely stock DNA with latest ota update. Phone has not been dropped or anything.
Wow, that doesn't make any logical sense. How strange... Glad you got it fixed though!

I see similar camera weirdness a lot when I'm at Best Buy in the best buy mobile section and I've intervened on 10 or 15 exchanges by tinkering with camera and gallery like clearing app data.
You've taught me a new trick in case I ever get to show off for the hot best buy mobile girls.

If you have a flash light app and do not turn the flash off this will cause the camer to not start
Recently had the problem (camera won't start, or can't connect to camera). Got the solution here:
http://forums.androidcentral.com/verizon-droid-dna/244680-camera-unable-start.html
Just hold the power button for ~20 seconds til it reboots, and camera works just fine. No loss of data or anything. It's supposed to be the equivalent of battery pull.
Mine too!

Read the thread please. The answer is in it.
Sorry for the necromancy, I'm having the same issue, and no amount of resets, soft or hard, has resolved anything.
I received this phone about a month ago as a total care replacement for a very sad old Droid X that was needing to be put out to pasture. When I first got it, everything worked fine. The camera worked a couple weeks ago, even, but I went to use it today, tapped the camera icon, it briefly opened then instantly closed with a message "Unable to start the camera".
I tried a few more times, force quit, cleared cache, tried again, still nothing. Force quit, cleared data, tried again. Soft reset, tried again, nothing. Held power button for a reset, still nothing. Powered off and back on again, still nothing. Another soft reset, still nothing. Tried 3 other camera apps, Google Camera closed immediately with a similar error message, Vignette just sat there at Initializing Camera forever, and some garbage front camera only selfie app opened but only showed a black screen for the viewfinder.
I did another soft reset, still nothing.
I did a factory reset, and tried again without downloading any of the apps previously installed. Still nothing.
I've tried several more soft resets and cache clears since then.
It's looking more and more like a hardware problem but previous posters in this thread reported fixing similar issues without doing anything to the hardware. It has never been dropped, it has never been wet. It hasn't even been outside in a light drizzle. It's never been sat on, it's never gotten warmer than 109 reported internal temp.
Other than take it to Verizon and whine at them about how the free phone I just got a month ago is a broken piece of crud for no apparent reason or malfeasance on my part (which is probably why they had it on hand to give away, reconditioned my big toe), is there any potential resolution I'm missing that doesn't involve warranty-voiding stuff.
THIS IS PROBABLY THE ANSWER YOU ARE LOOKING FOR!
"Today after a reset, I opened the camera and instead of trying to take a pic I cycled through the flash settings. As soon as I did the interface switched to portrait, (like the phone was held) and it took pics and video like normal!!!!!!!!"
I didn't see you mention that you tried this. It fixed my dna and I never had another issue.

I can't even get that far, as soon as I tap the camera icon, the camera app flashes open for a moment then instantly closes with an 'unable to start' message. The odd thing is that every so often, with no rhyme or reason, it will randomly start working just fine, then not work at all for weeks on end.
Of course now it's so broken, even LED Flashlight apps don't detect it as even having a camera.
Reaching to the XDA family to help me troubleshoot strange issues with my 10.1 WiFi Tab. Starting a couple of months back the tablet hold not come on once i was pressing the power button and I had to hard reboot to getting back on.
I assumed that it's the power management and I turned it off, but the problem persisted. The I could see that it started to hang at the Samsung animation screen with the sound blocking like a bad CD.
I've run a hard reset cleared cache but the problem still present. It's running stock 4.0.4, was never rooted or custom ROM on it since new.
I don't really know what to do next and I'm looking for pointers.
Thanks for any help.

If u have cleared ur sdcard ( wiped it clean ) and are still having these issues...it could be power button related...
I would look and make sure the power button is not sticking...then after that. Make sure you don't have anything corrupted on you're sdcard.
If none of this works....I would root and flash a newer tw based ROM..
Let me know if u need help..
Thanks for your response Gil81. When I performed the factory reset or wiped the scard clean. The button it's not sticky and it function properly.
I'm thinking it might be battery related but not sure.
Any good rom's that you recommend?

Hello everyone i hope someone can help me. I rooted my Kindle Fire HDX using KFHDX Tool Kit and it was successful. Afterwards i installed SUPERSU by way of the program itself and also disabled OTA. Now my problem happened after disabling OTA my silk browser will not work at all even though the WIFI is connected so i did a factory reset now when i power on my unit it keeps prompting me to choose a language even though i have already chosen one it will just keep going back to that screen. I was able to bypass it by tapping quickly on the screen and i was able to go to contacts and from there i am able to go to settings via the drop down menu. The problem is i cannot access home because when i press back it will just show home for a split second and then go back to the language menu even if i tried all the languages it wont let me use the tablet. Also i remember having paused the update before attempting to root. Now i cannot proceed to use my tablet at all. Can someone help me out with my predicament? I would really appreciate it, Thank you.

Go back to root tool. Enable ota updates. Register tablet. Disable ota. It keeps going to language because it can not contact amazon to set up. This exact thing happened to me. That's how I fixed it

Thanks bro! I also seem to see that when my unit turns on the bluetooth icon appears beside the wifi indicator but when i go to settings > wireless and i check my bluetooth it is turned off LOL. Needed to turn it on and off for the icon to disappear. Anyways did the updates ever solved this problem? not really a biggie for me but it is nice if i can turn off my wifi.
