after much searching the internet both on and off this site i found the solution,,,very simple....i wasnt signing back into the marked the the same gmail account i orig. opened it in when i first bought the phone,what a bother
So im havng pretty much the same problem but a little different, i cant download any apps it says the download starting but never actually does.. and the notification on top never shows up when you click on my apps it like in a state of starting to download, but obviously doesnt, now this maybe my fault prob my stupidity i rooted my vibrant and deleted some default apps that what prob is my problem, so is there anyway i can restore to original? tyvm
Same here it started off with me not being able to buy adw ex. now none of the paid apps in the market. I've flashed, odined back to stock, did all the suggestions i've read about in the forums still the same error message.
I had this issue as well with paid apps. I went to google checkout, updated payment information and made sure it was associated with my google account. After this was done i've had no problems whatsoever. Hope this helps..

[Q] Facebook upload

Hello all,
My girlfriend is having issues with her Galaxy Ace regarding Facebook uploading and Sharing. whenever she tries to share anything to facebook, it stays on 0% for around 10 minutes and gives error that it can't be uploaded, the same goes for any app that tries to upload to facebook. I have installed various roms and kernels and the problem still exists. Her account is working as I tried it on my phone and it uploads without any problems so it's not facebook that's causing it. Also I have logged into my account on her Ace and it still has the same error though so i'm quite confused
I have installed and removed various apps and it all gives pretty much the same upload problem, wonder if anyone had the same problem before and can help me with this?
her current rom is Xperiatized V7 and her kernel is [CF-Root-S5830 3.7] B84
many thanks in advanced
Mostly an app problem

Well not sure, but the previous kernel installed with Xperiatized given the same problem? was experimenting to see if it was the kernel that was giving the problem with uploading but the problem still exists lol any help on choosing the best rom or kernel even to fix this weird problem?
This is not an kernel or rom problem. Mostly seems an app or data packet size problem.

really? is there a way to solve it as I don't seem to see anyone with the same issue as my girlfriend? it's a combiniation of apps like the official facebook for android, friendcaster, Instagram is experiencing this and it's been a full wipe and clear before Rom updates even when removing the app to redownload, clear cache, clear data and uninstall before reinstalling a fresh download from Play Store/Market and still the same thing, thanks for you help in this as i've been losing my whits trying to figure this out lol
also, this has been only tested uploading over wifi at the moment as 3g has been giving the same problems as this at the moment
Anyone can help me with this weird problem? i've checked everything on the phone, factory resets everything and still gives that error =[
-Try on wifi, use another ace as wifi router.
-try on different telco ?
-Do you use firewall app like droidwall ?
-maybe tweak script installed, remove it bcause some of them alter tcp/ip parameter.
-Try upload using, whatever browser on your phones. If succes then app problem, if same then rom problem.
-reflash stock rom, if your problem still there, then its time to reconsider to sent to samsung service or buy the new ones whatever brands.
Hi,
I've tried on my wifi router and few others, on my HTC incredible, I can upload no problem using my wifi connection but on my girlfriend's Ace, it either sits at 0% or jumps to 20% and doesn't move till it times out, these are small images only like 450k that i've tried uploading even tried bigger and still the same thing, tried to upload using the the default browser but facebook times out or redirects me to the android app page on google play.
there's no firewall, antivirus or anything like that on it and I haven't installed any tweak apps nor alter any settings other than ringtones and accounts and that's it really
i'm going to flash another rom at the moment to see if it improves the problem or remains the same, a stock rom you say? which one shall I use or where to get it?
many thanks for your help diditdr! =D
update. flash back to a stock ROM and it's working well but the upload problem exists by the gallery share, facebook app and even through the internet browser as well, it's like the phone is unable to upload anything at all? maybe blocked by facebook? not sure! wonder if anyone has input on this at all?
I have the same issue with facebook photos uploading. using Cm fat
you have the same problem as me wiceqq, you can't upload to facebook at all and in your notification area the facebook bit is in bold font and doesn't shift? no matter what app you use to upload it's the same thing?
wonder if anyone there can help us with this problem? it's not very common as I can't find anything about it on the web, anyone an help us?
I do have the same problem... Im just getting that error on 1.8.x version, it works fine on 1.7.x.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1488937
really? can't upload through the internet browser either as it times out? would the app be causing that too by any chance?
Bump, does anyone know how to fix this problem at all? I've installed an older facebook app to see if that was the problem but it wasn't. It's still doing the same thing as I've described above in my earlier posts. can anyone help?

[Q] Application quits automatically?

Hey Guys
I recently bought my SGS2 i9100, very happy with it. However i noticed some problem.. I have observed many times that if i leave an application running in the background for quite some time, it quits automatically. It happened with torrent program..
Also my net is slow..and one of the games was downloading some data files through wifi..i left it for downloading and it also quit after sometime automatically.. tried it 2-3 times but the same result
Can anyone tell me whats wrong? Is it some phone setitings or something?or something really wrong?
I have ICS preloaded..
thanks
Could be how the phone handles multiple apps, did you fiddle with the settings in developers option?
Try setting more apps to see whether it makes a difference
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
Hmm no i didnt touch the developer settings at all...and a testing a bit more to find out more... Also, it generally happens when i multitask and quit another application..
Anyway will test a bit more and post..
But if anyone has experienced any such problem, do let me know

Some Apps wont work.

Hello people, heres the issue, i dont know if someone else haves the same problem as me, its not really a problem is like a little bug, hapens once in a while.
When i try to open the Marketplace or the Xbox Live or the Music + Videos Apps, it dosnt open, just like that.
am i the only one with this issue?
Comment and discuss =)
-----------
It seems like no one has the same Issue, if someone detects a weird behavior on your phone (similar to this problem post it, maybe there is a solution).
I had this problem days ago. I thought it was a problem with MS Marketplace servers and just rebooted my phone. Everything is working fine since then.
yeah happens with me too occasionally but a quick a restart solves it.
yes, restarting solves it that's for sure, no big deal, but anyone know why? hmm
did you just tried opening the marketplace?
