you could always try to install the old market, it has a lot less bugs than the newer versions.
I am on 3.3.12 i tried the older and it doesn't work...I have a nandroid backup to back to but really I want to understand what is making the phone behave this way rather than just flash my backup it's always good to know the source of the problem to prevent it from coming back
i can't think of anything other than possibly installing some malware. have you been going to any shady websites on your phone lately, or install any third party applications downloaded from somewhere?
no not really all i know is my phone died over night I charged it this morning and when I booted I had to sign in my gmail account again and everything synced up ok except my market began fc like crazy.....idk maybe something happened to it overnight i dont really go on websites much because im usually bury with work idk if it had anything to with me taking out my sim card and using it with my other device and then putting it back in....
It seems that many, if not all, of the apps I try to 'update' in the Android market generates an error on the Prime that says 'Application already exists' in the menu bar with an ! icon. This is annoying... I can uninstall / reinstall the app to get an update, but whenever I just click update in the Market, I get this error a lot.
Of course the application already exists! I'm updating it. Stupid Prime.
Does anyone have a fix for this? I searched the forum and didn't see anyone mention this annoying problem.
Are you getting system reboots?
Rumour has it the system reboots are a result of a failure while optimizing apps for ICS during the upgrade process.
Sounds like perhaps your OSs view of your apps is a little messed up...

No. Actually, I seem to have the least amount of problems with the Prime compared to most on the forum. Really, this issue and the weak GPS signal are the only ones I've had. Well, and the decreased wifi bandwidth when streaming bluetooth. But everything else generally runs smooth.
Two apps for example that I had this issue with... updating Google Voice and eTrade. Both of those for sure gave me the error that the app already existed. Uninstalling and reinstalling worked fine to grab the latest version.
Actually, I take that back. Sometimes when I do an uninstall / reinstall, it still says there is an update available.

Unfortunately I have the same issue. I haven't found a good way to work around it yet. As you have found sometimes uninstalling works and sometimes not.
Sometimes uninstalling it, rebooting the Prime, then reinstalling it works. Although, that's still sometimes as far as I can tell.
I've just started getting this issue when trying to update Officesuite Pro, first time it's happened.
Oddly enough when first typing this reply my Prime locked up and rebooted itself, which it's not done before.
Never had a reboot under ICS, at least not yet. But quite frequently have this problem. So I guess there is no correlation between the two.
The only anomalies that I experience are Skype or Talk video calls that suddenly die. No FC or any other message, Skype or Talk just exit.
I bet these types of problems will go away with a root and a custom rom in the future. Wish Asus would release the bootloader unlocking tool already!
Try clearing the dalvik cache?

Can you do that on a non-rooted Prime? I'm just waiting for the official unlock tool to go through that process.
This has happened to me on select apps too. Particularly xe app and officesuite pro. Can't seam to update them to the current version no matter what I do. Unistall/reinstall, clear delvik, and clear market data hasn't worked for me

Unfortunately no
I have the same problem, and i tried everything but it didn't work
Yeah... right now for me, it's Google Voice. And the worst part is, you can't get it to stop saying it's updating the market app even though it stops almost immediately. Annoying.
I get this sometimes, but I press update again and it updates fine

Random reboot is a normal way of life with android. A reboot here or there is nothing to worry about. Most of the time its from a bad app you installed. Now if you rebooting several times a day, then that's a problem. Its actually good to reboot or at least power down n then back on device every once in a while. It'll give device a fresh start on RAM and clear any mishaps that may have or could occur. Same deal with Ipad. They recommend rebooting every now n then for a fresh start and to have more ram available for use.
I haven't had this happen on my Prime, but I was having this same issue today on my Sprint GSII.
Not sure if this is a work around, but it just worked for me. Instead of updating the app from the 'my apps' section of the market, I went to the page in the market with the full app description. I clicked the update link there and it installed fine. I'll have to test this theory out more.
i too am facing similar probs. while updating WhatsApp and Skype too it shows that the application is already existing.
pls. note. both WhatsApp and Skype are under different Accounts
can this cause a prob that previously i would have installed it by 1 account and later on by another account when i changed the phone ?
pls. guide.
All of the sudden I can't use Google Talk. It says connection interrupted. I've tried older versions of the apk. I've tried clearing everything. Even reinstalling the complete ROM. This only happens on the stock or stock based roms. I've been using android for a long time but never seen this before. Anyone else have this problem or suggestions?
Yeah I'm having the same problem. I was on it Sunday the 1st or 2nd, but now I can't log on. Not good since video chat was something I bought this thing for while I'm travelling for work and then found out skype doesn't work and now this...

Im on aokp now and it works fine. It only doesnt work on sto stock based roms for me.
Yeah I got back into skype today and it was working. And mine xfrmer is stock. Talk on the otherg hand is still not connecting and it isn't showing up in the market.
On a different note, for some reason, until I misspelled "other" above, my spacebar would not allow the cursor to continue. Even if I held it down it would return back to the R on its own. WTF.
Google Play seems to pop up showing an update available for Adobe Flash 11 every single day at the moment. I've watched it download and install successfully several times now but it keeps coming back for another go. Is anyone else seeing this behaviour, or have a clue how to stop it?
Yaa i observe that but i don't know how to fix it...

Try to click on update and don`t close Google Play and don`t go any way from adobe flash player page on Google play. just click update and wait until there will be "open" option on google play.
as I saw this solution solves the problem

Had the same problem. It 'jumped' back from version 11 to 10.9 all the time. I removed the old version completely, rebooted my defy, installed the latest version from the playstore and made a backup with Titanium backup for just in case. Since then no problems here.
I removed flashplayer.apk in stock rom.
different workaround
well actually I just unistalled it and re-installed it, and it worked pretty well.

It might work and it´s really simple.

Is anyone else having issues with Facebook and messenger apps since rooting? It's the only thing I'm having problems with. The apps try to start but immediately crash before the login screen even appears. I'm using a clean install rooted 11b,not the upgrade option, I've tried clearing any and all fb files and folders from my device, clearing cache and deleting data, no change in fb apps, instant crash. And they were installed before almost everything else except busy box. Any ideas? Thanks in advanced!

Facebook working great here, don't use messenger so can't answer that sorry
Messenger working great here. While I don't use facebook, the other user confirmed that's good too. Try rebooting. That fixed an issue of mine after completing the process.
Try uninstalling and reinstalling the app.. I had a similar issue with instagram and a simple uninstall/reinstall fixed my issue.

Nope, reboots and reinstalls didn't work sadly.
I typically don't use Messenger from the app, but I installed it to see if I have any issues and it is working well.
I would re-run your root process. I have seen this before. Something didn't quite gel on the first go-around that running it again might help.
Clean stock flash, then 11B root upgrade.

Basically what I ended up doing. Facebook wasn't the only thing not working as it turns out, Titanium Backup wasn't recognizing all the backups, out of the 140 backups I had, it was only finding 31. So I ended up doing a refurbish with a stock unrooted 11B erasing everything for a true clean start, then doing an upgrade with the rooted 11B and now everything is running smoothly. Facebook, messenger, Titanium Backup, all good. I'm not sure, but it might have been something to do with the fact that I was on 10B and tried to do the upgrade option with rooted 11B, but others say they had no problems upgrading from 10B to rooted 11B. So I don't know what happened, but it's good now, just in case anyone else is having random issues, maybe this will help you.
Thank you guys for the help and ideas!!!
