Apps won't update - Motorola Photon 4G

Lately my apps won't update. This happens both when using WiFi and 3G. The app appears to have downloaded, then gets stuck on installing.
I have tried rebooting phone as well as clearing cache and data from the applications menu (for the market app). I also ran a cache cleaner thinking maybe that would help.
Does anyone have any ideas? Has anyone else experienced this issue?
Thanks!
EDIT: nevermind. I had purchased a bunch of those 10 cent apps which were pretty large. I decided to try moving them to the sd card, and that did the trick. All my apps are now updating.

i've been having the same issues with my phone... my phone is rooted though so im not sure if there's some glitch thats causing this or what... regardless of being on wifi or even in 3g/4g areas... it pops up error triangles in the status bar and will not even download... has anyone else ran into this issue???

Market has a mind of its own

For the last few days, the market has worked perfectly at times and other times it will take 2 minutes just to load the first page. I'm on wifi so I don't believe that connection is a problem. Also, when I receive a notification for app updates, it will go to the downloads page but will be blank. Does anybody else have this issue or know a way to correct it?
btw, I'm on leak v3 if that matters
hey ive been having the same problem for awhile now,im also on leak v3. but im not using WIFI n when i do it still happens,dont know what it is. maybe others have had this problem but thought nothing of it,we'll see
rebooting the phone and going straight to the market seems to fix it temporarily.
-scratch that, I can get into the market but can't update anything.

Android Market Problems over Cellular Network

First off, I love my Atrix, but there are just a couple of small problems with it, nothing to major.
The one that I have not seen discussed here (maybe just my phone) is the market being wonky over AT&T's network. Here is what happens...
Ill be on AT&T's network trying to do things on the market like update an app or install a new one, but when I start the market up, it gives an error about not being able to access the network. The thing is though, I have a strong 3G signal.
My fix is annoying, but it works. I go to another app that uses network data and load something so it *establishes* a connection to the network, then, when I go back into the market, it works 100%. I was just wondering if this is a problem anyone else has had and if so what their fixes are?

I had this problem and here's what I did go to manage applications and click all filter at top(2nd from right) and clear the data and cache from all the google stuff like google services framework (also download manager, google backup transport) and then go to market and clean the data and cache. at this point when you tried to get your market it give you an error message but don't worry about that just give it a few minutes then turn on your wifi and connect to the market through wifi then from there turn on your data connection. If still getting error just reboot and should be fine with same original issue. Last go back and clear data and cache from market and hit uninstall updates. Wallah done. READ THIS BF STARTING. I don't know what part or all of that fixed it but that's the order I went in and that's the results I got you can skip right to the end with just the market clearing in on installing updates or you can do the whole process. Your call.

I am having the same exact problem as you and I use the same cheap solution...and the scary thing is that it sometimes just happens when using a browser too...it says that there is no internet despite the fact that I clearly have a strong signal that says h+...and the upload and download arrows disappear, not just fade to grey signifying no traffic....does anyone have a solution? Unrooted 4.1.57
Was just about to post this xD It's quite irritating.

cant download unless im on wifi help?

Well my question is in regard to the atrix radio.
It started today...or at least I just noticed this morning.I run cm7ba2tf with 1.45 kernel.I also installed weekely 3 on top of that.
It has been running great for about for about a week and a half.suddenly my phone has been acting weird.
I had the. 30 radio
This morning internet was great like usual but I couldn't download from the market or internet.apps just wouldn't download.
Wifi did download apps from the market though.initially I thought something was wring with my radio.I flashed. 36 radio and reception was even better websites opened faster but still can't download from themarket or internet.I restored my back up still the poblem persists .I ran a speetest everything is good.my data plan isn't done yet so I don't know why I can download unless I'm on wifi can anyone help me?
Can u download using a web browser? If so its a market problem. You can go into market under yer applications and delete the cache for it ( the data) then reboot. If that doesn't work have u tried wiping cache and dalvik from within recovery?

i had a similar issue earlier today, the market would load but i couldn't download apps, webpages would come up, but applications that required a network connection to request data (e.g. Amazon price check) gave me a network error.
i checked my APNs and switched from 'AT&T US' to 'AT&T US HSDPA', and everyone was happy.
Can't download either through the browser or market.sideloading enabled. Device fully unlocked.flashed different radios to see if that's the issue and factory reset twice.cleared caches dalvik and permissions too.it seems its a network data issue sites liad fast just downloads don't work going to call att tomorrow if I can't figure out the issue

Will try this since I'm almost positive its not the device so much as just something with 3G/H+ signal

[Q] Longhorn 2.9.3 Random Rebooting

Hi
I've been using Longhorn 2.9.3 from a fresh install and really love the rom.
Everything works great except where lately I've been having issues where the phone just reboots out of the blue.
This has happened on average 10-15 times this past week.
Can anyone help?
Cheers
Nico

try to check which application that causing this.. a fresh install does not happen at all of random reboots.. not even once...
you could try to wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache and lastly wipe data .. do dell factory reset too if case is worsen...

Cheers mate,
I haven't installed any apps since about a week before this started.
Do you know of any apps that may cause this? as removing them one at a time and waiting for it to happen again is going to take ages.
It seems to have gotten better this last week.. only 1 or 2 reboots.
Further Indications......
Hi folks,
I'm having the same issues with Longhorn 2.9.3 Final, but it only seems to randomly reboot when the the phone is left idle and the screen goes off, So my first attempt was to disable the lock screen - no effect, then I tried certain background apps, such as Go Launcher EX, followed now by Facebook, and a local taxi app, nothing as yet.
I have tried wiping various caches, but it made no difference unfortunately.
If anybody know anything relevant to this issue don't hesitate but to share it with us, please.
I really am very fond of this custom ROM, and don't want to abandon it.
Thanks in advance
Ben.
Found the problem on mine

After going through clearing caches, replacing internal and external SD cards, cleaning the back door blah blah blah I found the following.
When I ran the Maps app, it asked if I wanted to use wifi for location to which I responded yes... mistake! If the wifi location option is checked, the phone seems try to use wifi when it is asleep and ends up rebooting.
I found this by turning the wifi off which made the phone sleep without re-booting and then by turning wifi on and disabling wifi location in Maps.
A long, involved process but now my Streak is rock steady and I don't have to think about reverting to a stock ROM... hooray

Stability update...
Uptime 600h
Previously would reboot twice a day or more
Very happy with the ROM now
I am having this problem also
I have a reboot problem as described above. The problem is that when I disable the use wireless networks option it does not disable. That is I leave the screen. Go back to it and it is still checked.
Please Help.
Web....
what kernel and baseband have you using?
Same here...
I 've been faceing the same problem exactly... latest longhorn randomly reboots, usually first the 3 buttons flash a few times before the reboot...
I downloaded and installed the 407 baseband and radio, then longhorn, did all wipe and dell reset, still the same ...
I've read this forum a few times, still though, would anyone be so kind to direct me towards a link here, where I could in fact revert the dell to an official rom version, before trying anything else?
Tnx in advance

I ended up disabling the Wifi location and my Streak works great. I had some app installed that was messing with me disabling/changing the wifi location settings. Sometimes I could not even disable wifi.
I remove a ton of apps. Was able to disable location via wifi and my phone has been working great ever since.
I can confirm that I had a problem with this and disabling it fixed it.

[Q] Problem with hyperdrive rls7

Having an issue with the "touch" on this rom. Been running it for a while and now suddenly random apps
open when I touch the left side of the screen. It doesnt matter what app i'm in. Also the back button stops
working at random. Ive cleaned cache and dalvik, cleared data and done a clean install and the problem
is still there. Tried fixing permissions to no avail. Anyone else having this issue or any recommendations?
Thanks

I'd try a different rom first; if that doesn't work, try flashing back to stock. If that still doesn't work, it kind of sounds like a hardware problem

Try disabling multi-window or long pressing back button to make the side dock appear. I had a problem where the left side of the screen was launching apps at random and it turned out to be that the dock for multi-window was acting as though it was open, even though I couldn't see it. I think I was able to stop it by showing then re-hiding the multi-window dock.
That makes sense. I will give it a shot. Certainly seems like that is exactly what is happening. Thanks

I was having that happen for a little while also, but it wasn't on RLS7, it was an earlier one, maybe 5.7. Anyway, I'm pretty sure I remember disabling the multi-window and that fixed it.
