Google play behaving strangely - Motorola Photon 4G

I have had this issue on stock in the past, and now it has appeared on cm7. I have no clue what is causing this, google play will show about 30 results, but when I scroll down it will not show more results. I have searched the internet for hours trying to find a solution. The only solution I can find to this is starting over with a fresh install of either cm7.2 or cm9. I have already tried clearing app cache, clearing app data, uninstalling app updates, uninstalling app completely and reinstalling google play, and using an older version of android market.

I used to have this issue changing the lcd density on my epic. Did you do that with rom toolbox or other apps/mods?

I did do that! I bet that is what it is! What is the stock lcd density for the photon?

220 I believe, though im doing 190 right now just fine

Np, glad it fixed your issue.

New Market app FCing crazily with process.com.vending.android

The Market app updated itself and now crashes after about 5s of launching. I can't download anything. Anyone know a fix? Or how do I revert to the old app and force it not to update?
I'm running CM7.0.3
EDIT: I tried to get the old .apk from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=869502 But it didn't work. The installation aborted in Recovery.
Settings, applications, market, clear data
This will make you have to sign back in and accept the eula for the market.
Used to fix mine until I really bjorked it....then had to reload rom and wipe all cache.
No, dude. It still FCs with the same ****. Maybe I should use Titanium to wipe data.
FCing new market
This happened to me too. Apparently there is an auto-update of the market? I had to keep uninstalling it to keep the market working. Then I migrated to the ASOP ROM in which the new market works for me.

I got Titanium to revert, but launching Market updates itself. Besides getting the paid version of Ti and then freezing the app, is there any other way to stop the damn thing from updating itself? Heck! How do I even get the paid version of Titanium if I can't get to the market in the first place.
me too....
everything fine yesterday...today, force closes as soon as i click anything in market.......hoping someone finds a fix. i haven't found one yet.
i hate it when they can't leave well enough alone.
Same here....
New market FCing can't even use it....I'm on Vegan Gingerbread....Can't revert back to original.

I had the same problem sooooo....I just went to settings....applications...market....unistalled the updates and then restarted my tablet. The old market was there and everything worked just fine.
New Market Update released 3.0.27 from 3.0.26 and working on GTAB (so far)
I just sideloaded the new Updated version of market. It seems to be running ok my GTAB (Running GtabComb 3.3 BL1.2)
Though its a tad spotty at times it's not Force Crashing at all as the 3.0.26 version did on this device.
One odd thing to note is: There are now 2 Market Icons in my app drawer.. one loads the stock version and the other loads the 3.0.27 version..
I've attached the file.
Moderators.. I'm not sure if this attachment is allowed..Please Advise if I should edit this post!
TYIA!
tried sideloading....same thing....force closes every 5 sec or so.....
anyone find a fix, or any idea what is causing it? works fine on my phone, is just my gtab that seems affected.

What version Market are you using? I have no issues with mine and has worked like a charm since applying this Market fix a month or so ago. I always had issues with my market until this fix. I am on Market version 2.3.6. You'll need to be rooted...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=861044
I am not sure but have you tried to fix permisions in clockwork mod or if you have ROM manager you can do it from there as well
I am on CM7 and going to Applications, Market, Uninstall Updates worked. Thanks!
I also had the same issues and uninstalled the update. Once I uninstalled, it reverted back and has not tried to update itself.
I am having the same problem!!!
I personally love the new market. Its designed more for a tablet this way, isn't it? Its nice to see my gtab is recognized as a tablet rather than some unknown android device.

Even switching ROMS didnt solve FC new marketplace
the only fix I got was to get TIBU PRO installed, (did this by uninstalling the market updates and immediately launching Market to load TIBU).
Once TIBU is installed (finally), (you may have to uninstall the market update...many many times) but once you have the original market back running on the tab launch TIBU and FREEZE Market Updater 1.0 and finally Market Feedback Agent.
Once that is done, you should be good to go.
EDIT: Dont freeze the Market, else you wont be able to launch it.
The easiest fix is to go to Settings/language and keyboards/ and the set your default language to english. Have not had a problem since I did that.

Well I tried it yesterday and it has seemed to resolve the Market issue. I can't explain why setting the language would have this effect, but it did.

Device Not Compatible Errors

For some reason on my SGS 2 running CM7 I am getting constant errors on almost every app I try to download. At least half of the apps on my market say they are not compatible. I have tried uninstalling updates from the market, clearing the cache and all that, but none of it seems to work.
I also use LCD resolution, but when I reset that, it doesn't seem to help.
Does anyone have an idea whats going on? It's very frustrating as I have to either download APKs from the internet (sketchy) or if I'm lucky enough they'll be in the Amazon appstore.
Please help!
(I did try looking for this issue many many times, if I am just a fool let me know, and direct me, and I'll just crawl back into my cave)
clear market data should work. if it doesnt, then stop changing the lcd settings.
There is know app compatibility issues with CM based roms as they don't report properly to Google's servers due to the way CM changes the OS
i had the same problem running unnamed rom and switching the density of the screen but i put it back to 240 and everything with the market went back to normal.

Market Issues.

Currently running the latest version of Hyperdroid with the Mattedblack surgeon from Pongster.
The issue I have is now when I open the market the movies tab is gone and there is a lot of apps missing. When I searched for apps I already have such as GTA 3 and Facebook they say they aren't compatible.
Anyone know what I can do. I have already cleared the cache and data and it did nothing.
Change dpi back to 240/220 (not sure what stock is, just check the thread for the right value), then reboot.

Thanks worked perfect. I had it on Middle-grounds as I seemed to like it more there. Shame the market don't work properly with it :/

Google Play Market woes...

Anyone else having issues with the new Google Play Market? Literally every app I open up reads as incompatible with my device. Is this the case for anyone else? I'm currently on Vegan Froyo... is this just an issue for this ROM, or is it with all roms? Personally its becoming incredibly frustrating; many of my existing apps don't update, I'm forced to scour the dark ends of the internet for apks of paid apps I already own.
I tried the Market fix.. but that seems to have made issues worse. Any hope??

What apps fail? Give some examples so that others can
tell you if they work on their Vegan Froyo. Apparently
tapatalk works for you .
What is "ro.product.device=" in your /system/build.prop ?
A bad value/corruption there can cause incompatible messages.
I am on TNT Lite, which a Froyo distribution, and Google Play
works without any problems.
This is when an old CWM backup might have helped. Do you have any around?
My latest magic bullet for Froyo is "Fix Permissions" from CWM.
Give it a shot if all else fails.

I also am having a ton of issues with the new and "improved" google experience... the playstore will not load at all on my gtablet. I am running gtabcombover and really like the ROM... it was flawless until the market went stupid on us.
as soon as i try to open the app, i get the "accept" button but before I can even push it, the thing FC's and no matter what I cant make it even initialize. I am really hoping there is a painless and simple fix for this mess. And even more hoping that google hasnt completely cut all rooted devices out of the loop!
any help would be greatly appreciated
thanks
I'm having the same problem as the OP, except I'm using Roebeet's TnT Lite Froyo ROM. I've also tried the Market fix with no luck. Any ideas for solving the problem would be appreciated.
Every app that needs to be updated comes back with a "incompatible with your device" error. Market fix didn't make things worse for me, just didn't help much. I'll have more time for experimenting over the weekend, and, will post if I find an answer. Hopefully it's not due to Google Play seeing it as being a rooted device.
It's probably not because the device is rooted. I am running G-harmony and play works fine for me.
Google Market updated itself to the Google Play store without any problem on both VEGAn-TAB 7.1 and GtabCombOver 3.4.2. I was also able to update all of my apps as usual.
I'm using cm7 rc1 and market is hosed. I have tons of paid apps that are "incompatible" and wont update. I tried build.prop edits but nothing is working. If VeganTAB 7 is working I may switch back to it. Was using beastys rom and Google play made it so half my apps wouldn't update that's why I tried cm7.
Update:
VeganTAB 7 works great with Google play and all my apps updated.

Try this suggestion out the next time around, instead of resorting to installing a different ROM.
Google Woes 2
I have a rooted G-Tab with Calkulin’s ROM v1.1 and clemsyn 2.6.32.9 kernel. Everything was running great with no problems. Google changed to Google Play and something has happened with the authenication. Downloads fail (all of them) and the Market fix does not work.
Gtab using Flashback 10.3 Google play
Similar issues here as well, My apps are updating ok but when I go to open Google Play to search for an app it crashes/forces closes. Been searching threads and found none that give clear fixes for this. THANKS GOOGLE!!!!
@aNiMeMaN14
If you know how to edit the build.prop you could try to edit the line for the manufacturer replace what's there with Samsung just remember to make a note of what was there to start. It worked for me but I'm on the DRH ice rom you you may not see it in the overall search but in you put in the name of the app you want it should come up and allow you to download n install. REMEMBER IF YOU ARE NOT COMFORTABLE DONT DO IF YOU MAKE A MISTAKE COULD CAUSE YOU TO NVFLASH AND REBUILD FROM START HAVE BACKUP. TRY THE ONE IN THE CWM ROM.
there is a modded market available now thanks to the people here on Xda

Endlessly scrolling gmail

I've tried uninstalling, reinstalling, clearing app data/cache, rebooting, etc, but my gmail keeps doing this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibNn2vQd-3Q
Any ideas on a fix?
Running MeanROM. Problem appeared out of nowhere yesterday.
Try goin in to recovery and do fix permissions and then reboot and see if that fixes your problem hope that helps
....and in recovery aswell clear cache and dalvik cache in recovery aswell try that

Mine just started doing something similar about two hours ago. It will flicker when I try to open an email or scroll down. Plus, I can't back out. I have to hit the home button to exit. Re-installing multiple times and wiping cache from recover didn't help either.
It has something to do with YouTube believe it or not. Go to your YouTube app and uninstall it. Wipe caches and reboot. You can go back to the market and download the YouTube app but don't log in or you will get the same thing.

This morning bug also got on my evo, unrooted, stock ROM.
We are not alone, also on other phones happening the same. Looks like it has to be a google issue and big G responded already - they are working on the issue and fixing it.
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=27512
That's odd! I just tried mine and my gmail works flawlessly...that sux for those having this issue though
haha.
mine did this today, so i uninstalled it. Kept crashing the phone.
Nice i was not alone with it, I was blaming the custom rom.
thats crazy there....never seen mine do that here ever...scrolling side to side like that over and over would drive me nuts.
Finally gmail started to work again on my device, after 15 hours.

I have no issues yet, but that's good that Google acknowledged it and are working on a fix.
