Right after the Sprint 4.4.2 upgrade on my Note 3 I experienced a few strange issues: 1) My "Minimalistic Text" app was gone. 2) I kept being told that my network connection was unstable. 3) My phone tried to automatically download (like, without asking me and not within the Play Store, etc.) an unnamed Samsung app whose download progress seemed to hang after 88% completion.
I fixed #1 and #2 (at least I think #2 is fixed), but I don't understand #3. I was hoping that someone would have insight into this issue. I've attached two screenshots that show the app and the issue. The app is simply called "Samsung app", so I am not sure what it actually might be. I first experienced this issue right after rebooting to apply the 4.4.2 upgrade. It started the download after the required reboot and hung at 88%. At that time I believe I just cleared the cache, killed the app and I did not see this issue again (until today). Today I cleared the cache partition (to fix issue #2) and "The Mystery of the Hung Samsung Download at 88%" magically reappeared after my restart.
This doesn't appear to be a huge thing and I guess I could just clear the cache and kill the app one more time. But I was wondering what it might be, what causes it and if Sprint/Google/Samsung know about the issue? I would also like to know what app is causing this just in case I would actually use this troublesome app at some point.
It is always comforting to know you aren't the only one with an issue. Misery loves company.
Thank you for any input/advice you can offer.
My Samsung app download got stuck at 2.89mb.. The x wouldn't close it, reboot wouldn't fix it.. I jumped on CM11 and haven't seen it since.

+1...it's an update to the Samsung apps app (no that's not a typo). Useless IMO, especially if it can't even update itself correctly. LOL

Randomly my Android Market started acting up with regards to downloading apps. I can browse through and search apps just fine but when I click Install to start downloading an app it just hangs on 'Starting download...' on and off wifi.
I researched the problem and found remedies of starting gtalk and clearing the download manager cache, all of which were ineffective (obviously otherwise I wouldn't be posting this!). The only thing that was temporarily effective was re-flashing the stock firmware with odin. Initially I could download apps after flashing with odin but after letting the phone sit for a few minutes I could no longer download apps :-(.
On a perhaps related note I do recieve random notifications about unsuccessful downloads while I'm not even using my phone of applications that I've never even attempted to download..
Yeah I get the same issues with mine on the stock rom.i find that if I reset my wifi connection it starts to work again. Just a thought.

Ineffective for me :-(.
Anybody ?
Playing around with it a lil more if I toggle the wifi then restart the download it generally starts workimg again. Just out of curiosity are you in a poor reception area when this happens?

Had this issue on my G1 with CM6. Go to Settings>Applications>Manage Applications. Scroll to market, click, clear cache. Let me know if this works as well.

Nope, I either have great EDGE or HSDPA service.
Before anyone asks, all other web based apps that I can use at this point (browser mostly) work just fine.
My best guess is that it is just buggy atm, it would seem that it has a hard time deciding which method to use to download. For me at least choosing between wifi and edge/3g.

You can uninstall the market from your manage apps/applications without any harm. Won't remove the app, but will clear all the market data stored on your phone. You just accept the tos again when you open the market and you're going. Hope this helps

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?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
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.

Has anyone been having issues with Titanium backup "hanging" during batch restorations? There seem to be certain problem apps for me that pretty consistently cause the issue. Where's My Water is one of them.
Typically, what I see happen is that the batch process will hang on one app until I force kill TiBu. Then if I go back and run the batch restore again, and choose Restore Missing Apps, it will not include the app that appeared to cause the hang (the app did actually get restored). This seems to be happening more and more often for me, on multiple devices - not just the tab.
I have tried changing to the "indirect" method of restoring in the preferences, but it still hangs.
Does anyone else have issues like this?
Thanks
Same issue. For the problem app, I can restore the app only then data just fine. Can't do both at the same time.

Thanks for the feedback...
So you do app only batch restores without issues? And then a batch restore of data only? Or are you doing this as a restore of a single app?
I will have to give that a try next time I flash a new ROM.

I've had the issue on other devices before. You could try going to preferences in tibu, change 'processing mode' to 'indirect', and try again. See if that helps

Same issue here - clearly not limited to a certain device - I've got the same issue on my EVO 3D. It's always Where's My Water, Sam's Club, and NFL'12 that hang up like this. Maybe next time I'll try app only then data only in 2 separate steps. But would like to hear if any feedback from TiBu developers...

I sent my support request in several days ago and haven't heard anything back yet. I am always amazed at how frequently the app gets updated yet the issue persists.
I have tried the app only restores combined with using the indirect method pogroms the preference settings and I still have the same issues...
A new version just came out.
This is my first attempt at using it. I only rooted my P7310 today and wanted to do a Ti backup after doing my nandroid.
All I get from TiBkup is an FC on start. Not sure if this is the same for others w/ the new release or whether I have a bad system. Given that the new release is dated today it may be that this is a new issue.
I'm using stock 3.2 w/ CWM. My next step was to add 'motley V2d' but now I'm a little hesitant due to TiBkup not running.

I actually ran my first successful restore under cgmod last night. I did a restore with apps and data without a freeze. Granted, none of the offending apps I have had issues with in the past were included, but but this may be progress for me, at least...

Problem solved by latest update! (so far)
Hey all,
Just wanted to post an update to the issue. I got another update from the market today (5.3), and one entry in the changelog grabbed my attention:
Version 5.3.0 ============= - Fixed an old bug that caused app restores & Market Doctor to hang while processing an app that had apostrophes in its name.
It was the stinking apostrophes in the names! This explains where's my water, Sam's club, and NFL'12. Not sure about flight control for me, but I successfully restored that one today too.
So get the update and give it a shot next time u flash a new ROM!
Thanks

Has anyone else encountered this issue? I've been trying to solve it by clearing cache, wipe and replace the ROM. But nothing.

Nope, I think every one still got that. The only temporary solution is to reboot. But I have seen it happen then too.
Best to wait a few years till NVidia/ASUS can sort this out... (the coming update is suppose to address this, but my hunch is it wont be a complete fix).

I actually solved this:
The behavior is caused when you terminate the Gmail app via the recent app menu.
The app does not appear to handle that case gracefully (shame on you Google). I've tried everything before (resetting, rebuilding Davlik cache, etc.) and nothing worked. But, ever since I've stopped killing the app via the recent app menu, the problem has completely ceased.
Every once in a while I do it by accident and there's a 100% chance that it will crash on a subsequent use when that happens.
Ok, at least I'm not alone. Sometimes it works, but 70% of the times I can't even read an email.

I would assume that a task killer app (including the asus one) could cause the same behavior.

Same issue here. Running Only1 base. I have to clear app data every week or it gets stuck repeating the route from the state I was previously working in. The map directions are accurate, but the voice keeps saying to turn on a road from the previous week. Over and over and over again. Crazy.

Same problem, Galaxy Nexus VZW on JellyBean, was having the issue on ICS as well. Did an uninstall/clear cache...worked for a while, and then started repeating again. Only thing that fixes it temporarily is clearing the app's data.
Happens to me once a week. Go to applications in settings, force stop maps, clear data, and reopen maps/nav. Problem solved. Its getting very annoying though, to do this once or twice a week.

I had the same problem on the Team Perfection ROM, in addition to it not using my Ivona TTS voice or speaking street names. Clearing cache and data didn't help, neither did an uninstall and reinstall from Play. What DID work however, was installing an older version apk I found (which kept FC for some reason), and then updating that version from Play. (Sorry, I don't recall which version it was, but I downloaded it from Aptoide.) After that, everything worked perfectly again. I noticed other people complaining about the same problem in Play's comments section. Really strange, but at least it works again for me.
Settings > Language & input > text to speech output.
Changing this to Pico TTS fixed it for me.
This has been happening on my phone (Verizon Galaxy Nexus on 4.1.1 JB AOKP build 2) on and off for a few months now, it first started happening right before android 4.1 Jellybean was officially announced. *It was at that precise time that the voice for Google Maps Navigation changed to be the same voice that Google Now uses in Jellybean. I remember there was a period of time where I would hear both voices like they hadn't finished converting all of the speech over to the new voice. It's been ever since then but this problem has been happening, I have noticed the clearing cache seems to sometimes stop it from happening only to return again randomly.

what rom and kernel are you currently using?..The flicker is a issue with some roms..editing the maxlayer overlay build prop helped with alot of people.
