I've just upgraded to android 2.1, gained root but am now stuck with market not downloading. I've searched a bit for the solutions but apart from the standard uninstall of market updates (which I don't have nor do I have the option of removing updates) I didn't find anything useful. Anyone having the same problem or preferably a solution to the problem? :/
And yes, otherwise it runs perfect.
Did you do a full restore using Titanium Backup? I found that broke a couple of things for me, including wifi and the market issue you mention. I had to reflash to get it working, and then be more selective with my Titanium restore.
I did a clean slate - reset to factory settings then upgraded to 2.1. I didn't use any restore app (although I have rerware backup app and backups) and everything else works like a charm apart for the market downloads which is a bit of a hassle. Is there a built in file browser in android or any other way to run the applications downloaded (have some apk but can't reach them from within the phone). This is a bit annoying :/
The only thing you can try is the suggestions on the numerous threads about Market issues.

Q: Android market behaves strangely and some of my download seems stalling, what’s up?
A: As I understood it from browsing lots of forums yesterday this seems to be a general issue with Android Market (at least in the Nordics) and should be temporary.

I was having this problem until i signed into Google Talk (just launch the app and it should sign in).
Then I had no problems downloading apps from the market.
@bix: thank u so much. Lucky I froze my talk istead of delelting it. Defrosted them and my market working again! ;-)
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
happening for me now on x10 mp cant download any apps
ARGH
Hello everybody,
this is my first post ever. I've been following XDA developers for many years when I was still using Windows Mobile PDA's and later smartphones. This Forum has helped me with so much.
But now Im facing a problem which I cant find a solution for. Maybe this has been solved in another thread already, then I'm sorry that I must have overlooked it.
I purchased and Xperia X10i about two weeks ago. Everything worked fine out of the box.
Then I updated the software via the PC connection to 2.1
Before I of course backedup everything.
After the update I restored my backup and everything seemed to work proper.
Yesterday when I tried to access the Market place the screen popped up and it showed me the loading message but it simply didn't load. The screen flashed a few times then the app was forced shut.
I searched on several forums and followed the instructions posted by people with similar problems.
1. It was suggested that I perform a Hardreset. This didnt work through the method by pressing the left and right key simultaniously and the pressing and releasing the power button. For whatever reason my phone just boots normally
2. Factory reset through the menu: Settings > SD card & Phone storage: This option is not even present after the software update
3. Deinstalling Market update: I deinstalled the updates for the market application but that didnt change anything
4. Using the update function of the PC software to repair the update:
I performed another update through the repair function this seemed to make matters worse. Now when I go to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications I cant even see the other installed application except one UEFA something.
Funny enough everything else on the phones seems to work well.
Details about the network.
I live in Kenya and use Safaricom as my carrier. There were no issues before I updated
I work in South Sudan and use Vivacell. I dont use Vivacell for data but rather use my wireless connection. Up until the update and even shortly afterwards that worked just fine.
Im really confused. Don't know what else to try.
Should I root the device and install Froyo rather?
Thank you in advance for any suggestions, and again if this has been solved elsewhere then I'm really sorry for overlooking it. Please post a link if so.
Update for point 4.
Point 4. was simply my own stupidity. I had a filter set wrong. never the less the market problem remains
using the application from AppPit instead at the moment. This one works fine and donwloads and installs have no issues.
Would love to use the marked though because bit has way more apps which I need. AppPit is a bit limited

Try removing updates on Market.
I have no idea what could be causing this. I've never heard of anything like it, and I have yet to find any posts or anything on Google pertaining to it. The problem is simple. I install an app or game. Play or use it. Go do something else for 20 minutes to an hour come back expecting to use said app, and its gone. Its not in the launcher or manage apps, and play store acts as if it wasn't yet installed. I can go to market again to install it but that's just bothersome. I'm on an 8gb nook tab running an emmc install of cm10, looks like its the 2012-9-3 acclaim build according to about tab. Other than that I'm not sure which ROM exactly.
Any thoughts would be awesome.

I only downloaded this ROM about four days ago. That combined with the fact that that was my second post on xda, it wouldn't be far fetched to assume I didn't know there was an updated version. May I ask what your recommendation of most stable cm10 ROM would be?

I've been running this ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1877217) for a couple of days with no issues at all. Very happy with it.

How's your battery life? Can you compare it to CM7 or stock? Mine was so pathetic I'm back on CM7.

Is there a "place holder" icon in place of the disappeared app? (home screen and app drawer, either or both) Would appear as a generic android icon.
Also, what apps are disappearing specifically?

When Ext-Sd card auto unmounts (known bug) everything installed on it (because ext-sdcard are default one /sdcard1) is then shown as a green android without their normal icon.
I've been having this issue as well with Business Calendar Pro. It isn't installed to the SDCARD. I haven't had the problem with the latest version of the ROM though.

I can't compare it to stock or CM7, though -- I haven't run either stock or CM7 since April or so. It does seem to suck the battery down much faster than Chris' CM10, though. To deal with that, I've been doing a full power-off (long press and select "Power Off") instead of a soft power-off when I know I won't be using the tablet for a while.
Saludos,
Steve

Almost any app. Here's an updated play by play.
Install app. App can be used.
After a while it disappears.
Can reinstall and use again.
Usually disappears again.
If tab is rebooted apps reappear. Icon and all.
If you attempt to open they force close. I don't remember the error message.
This mostly happens on large apps or games.
I'm gonna attempt to update my ROM and see if it still has the same problems.
Updated to the latest cherry picks ROM. I wiped and cleared everything. Same problem. Same symptoms. Any thoughts on causes and possible solutions? Or is this just a bug with the ROM?

I've experienced a similar issue, and it appears to be the result of the SD card getting (forcibly?) unmounted while sleeping. I have no idea how to prevent it other than moving all apps to internal storage if possible. Maybe ensuring that any apps the rely on storing data on the SD card are terminated before sleeping?
FWIW, I've had the same thing happen in the past with the stock BN ROM so it wasn't a huge surprise to me when it happened running CM10.

Okay, so the exact same thing happened that the OP described to me this morning on 27/09. I had moved several apps to the SD card and then when I came back to my Nook about a half-hour later, all those apps showed as Android icons and could not be launched. Rebooting made it possible to launch the apps again and brought back the normal icons.
Update: Perhaps it's coincidence but it seems that whenever I manually disable WiFi before sleeping my Nook (running 27/09 here), then everything is fine. However, if I forget to disable WiFi, then for some reason the SD has a chance to be unmounted while sleeping which requires me to re-install any apps that are installed on the SD card or that depend on the SD card for normal use.
I'm also thinking that maybe it doesn't have anything at all to do with WiFi being enabled, but instead perhaps it's just having apps running that depend on the SD when the unit sleeps (such as XDA premium which I've had to re-install several times over the last couple of days ) .
In all, it seems like a really vague and random issue that occurs and reiterating my previous posts, I've seen the SD card get unmounted using the original ROM so I'm just not sure what the deal is here.
I have a problem,with my tablet. I found that 3 of my favour apps has disappeared from my apps list and tablet . I don,'t uninstalled it. What can I do to recover an install it again. When I go in my Googly Store my apps list The 3 apps that is disappeared is not listed there. The 3 apps thats is disappeared is Mxit beta, Google translate and Opera Mini web browser. Is there anything I can do to find this disappered apps on my MTN Steppa 7" Tablet. Finally When I try to download a app from the webside or google play store it shows dowloading by don,t stop the download arrow flashing on and on even when I swiched off the mobile data it still shows downloading but nothing stops. When Switched on the Mini data the the download app is Queued. What can I do to stopit and removed it.
i hope really that you can help mevwhit this problem.

suddenly my samsung galaxy s3 keeps freezing and I have to make a hard reset every time. I tried to make factory reset, or wipe factory reset, but the same problem.
what should I do?
are you on SDS-safe firmware?
Dude, instead of creating yet another post with this, you could have searched to quite easily find out your phone is halfway dead and should be sent back to samsung for repair as soon as possible. Make it safe to return if you messed with it (flash original stuff, reset counter, etc, read a bit if you don't know what to do, it's all over these forums) and just take it in.
Don't take this the wrong way but you'd think it's common sense to just return any product (not even phone related) that it's malfunctioning instead of asking what to do to random people in a third party forum

use the sds safe précautions to prevent freezing
Envoyé depuis mon GT-I9300 avec Tapatalk
And what are the sds safe precautions or where can I find it?
just search in the general section
Device:GT-I9300 32gb
I have the same problem, this seems to be firmware related to me, the phone works in safe mode but this is really crappy now. I don't think there should be a return unless it's the only fix.Will try and flash JB and update the post.
Edit: Is that sds the Sudden death thing. I tried searching but no results come up. I am a new comer to Samsung as their devices sucked for ages and they still seem to do. Please can some one advise us(the op and myself and future people with this problem) on what is the main cause of this issue that a hard reset fixes it. But for my device,it doesn't die it stops functioning.
This is how I get this problem, my phone is rooted, but it runs fine only when there is a app crash the phone locks up and thats it.
what i tried: I tried to back up my data so i could save myself from reinstalling all my app. I hard reseted the phone and the phone functioned again
but after restoring my data the phone locks up again. Now my phone works about 5sec from normal boot but then locks up. It works fine in safe mode. So really where is issue? Is an app is making the whole OS to jam there has to be a simple fix for this.
Please don't say return the device, thats the dumbest thing to ever say. We want to over come the problem not ignore it/get rid of it.
Thanks for your time guys

My S3 started well and then "SUDDEN DEAD" :crying:
Well. I reverted back to 4.1.1 and no more random reboots or freezes. It was definitely ROM issue.
Any one tried new EMA2 rom? If yes, still freezing?

Mine was freezing constantly with MA1 and MA2 until I did what I posted above.
Now already 2 days without freezes.

Same problems here. Not sure about rooting. If I change the csc code and download the latest, say German update. would that change the rom and fix it ?

Probably not. Depends on what causes your problem.

I was getting similar behaviour too. Phone would freeze after making calls, sending msgs, using facebook, searching on google, basically random points anywhere. Went through uninstalling apps, did a factory reset, and through some trial and error finally pinned down where my problem was at least. It was caused by the latest version of MixZing. Was crashing before frequently, and after uninstalling it I've been using my phone fine all day with no crashes at all. Still potentially early days, but if I don't report back then that solved it for me.
A simple solution
ok guys.. this is something i tried and has been working for me for more than two days now:
the problem seems to be in the download manager included in the new android software so what you simply have to do is to disable this application whenever you're not using it.. you can do so in the settings>> applications manager>> view ALL>> select DOWNLOAD MANAGER and DISABLE..
of course this will stop the play store from functionning and will stop any automatic updates but will prevent the phone sudden death...
All you have to do when you want to download any new apps or update existing ones is to enable the download manager and i suggest before doing that to clear the RAM memory and try to be gentle and patient with the phone...
Just keep working like that till ANDROID finds a solution in the next update and your phone will be fine.. in the end its better than killing the machine with every freeze.
Remember to be patient and work slowly when the download manager is enabled
Reply if it worked for you

My first post here. Thanks for this tip. My phone was freezing every 3 minutes and so I did what you suggested after all other suggestions (except rooting - as I was worried I might brick the phone if it froze while rooting) didn't work. Anyway, just a few seconds after I hit "DISABLE", my phone froze! So I thought it's probably not working, but since the reboot, it hasn't crashed. Thanks!:good:

the same thing is happening to me and i have no clue why its happening it just like 3-4days ago but i have installed only clash of clans and clash royale in my phone. he most interesting thing is that all your phone feature will work but the screen will not for almost 20-30mins then it will recover on its own. all the call features are working well but no response from phone. my conclusion is this phone is totally a mess and i dont even know how i managed t use this device for 4years! it got super laggy after 6-7 months of use. Whatever i went to the service centre and they told that i need to change the motherboard of my s3 costing 130$.
This is my first thread so, here it goes... I got the new LG F60 and i just ADORE IT... But, there are a couple of issues... First of all, it says the phone needs to have 4gb memory and i get only 1.3 in my settings>apps and the same in settings>memory.
When i got in settings>memory it said i had 1.3 free and among other stuff last on the list in MISC it said that my system data(yeah in misc) took up 2.3gb! That's enormous! So i tried googling the issue but i came up with nothing, i tried the forum on android central and no solution what so ever, so this is kinda my last hope.
Oh yeah, i did a factory reset and it didn't help at all, same size remained...
Also, as noted in my manual, i was supposed to have these apps but i don't: quick memo app, default gallery app, calculator app, video player app, radio app... Only gapps and the very basic ones that come with the phone... I have no idea how to fix it if it's possible or what the problem is... Here are some screenshots that might help a bit(note the last image is after the factory reset, and it says that the whole partition is 1.3 gb when i connect it to my pc and all together in settings>memory it says it has 4 gb):
I have one and w_8gb i love this cell.

I bought this phone today and having the same issue . I want to return it back to the seller but not possible because i have broken the seal of the package. This really sucks, no room for install applications.
I had the same problem. I bought additional SD card class 10 with 16gb storage, downloaded bunch of apps (for gallery, even the photo app - the stock one isn't that practical) and thats it. F60 is running the stock 4.4.4 kit kat so that is why we get so many Google related applications and no custom ones. Hope this helps.
