[Q] market suddenly missing apps

running tnt lite 4.0 as of yesterday with market fix. all was working normally this morning. downloaded and installed quite a few apps and live wall papers. this afternoon most of the apps are missing and i can only get 1 live wallpaper. all the other stuff is missing. even the stuff i have already downloaded is missing. performed market fix over and over still same thing. the market seems to be working fine just most of it is gone. anybody got any ideas? am i looking at a complete rom reinstall?

It's happened to me a couple of times...
If you have Titanium Backup installed, just load it up and let it populate the app list...
After that, the Market seems to recognize everything that is installed right away...
It does eventually seem to come back on it's own -- but TB is the only way I've found of "forcing" it to happen sooner...

nope that didn't help. still missing most of the apps. the weird thing is that they were all there this morning and i haven't done anything that would have borked the market.

something else too. the market makes me "accept the terms" the 1st time i load it after a reboot. rebooted 3 time in a row and its the same every time.

Have you tried doing the Market fix again? I've had to do it several times. Even after it's done there are a few apps hat never show up, but most do.
You're talking about apps you've already downloaded from the market so I would definitely try the market fix again and see if that works.

That usually happens when you "Clear Data" on the Market app -- but you say you haven't done that? If so, sounds like the flag isn't being set/stored when you click accept -- so perhaps permissions are borked?
Maybe try rebooting into recovery and doing a "Fix Permissions" and "Wipe Dalvik Cache", then go back into normal boot, accept the terms again and see what happens...

yep done that too. at least a dozen times. and i know i am doing it correctly because it worked the first time a week ago when i rooted and intalled tnt lite the first time and again on saturday when i installed tnt lite 4.0. the market fix worked both times with no issues. now almost all the apps are missing. there are no free live wall papers listed and only 1 pay live wall paper listed. that and only 1 app shows up in the featured list when i launch the market.
i am really trying to avoid a complete reinstall of tnt if i can help it but i guess if i have to then i have to.

yea done that as well. same thing. its very strange. i have been at this for hours yesterday combing through the forums looking for an answer with no luck. i found all of the suggestions mentioned above and tried them with no success.

Ahhh...TnT 4 introduced the problem. I just read in another thread that v4 includes the Data2Loop hack and lots of people are now reporting this very issue...
Will update with the link to the thread which includes remedies...
Update: Link to thread detailing issue -- may want to just jump to the end and work backwards

hmm.... well there it is. thanks man. will revert back i guess. 4.0 sure was fast though.

This happened on my "stock" Zpad. I woke up one morning and it was like it was partially defaulted. I had to accept the terms again and some apps were like they were only newly installed (eg asking for default actions). It was like some database go corrupted overnight (by itself).
That was all about a week or two ago and I haven't had the same problem since.

I began to have market "re do" issues several days ago (On tnt 3.1.2) and have had to fix it several times a day. I think Google has something to do with it. I turned off all Google Sync to Gmail and since last night, market is sticking again.

I have been using it without any problems and suddenly all the apps are gone from the market download and for others the icon is not working anymore.

I use the website Market now. I notice more apps on the website than in the market application. If I download an app from the website it puts it in the "downloaded" part of the market app anyway, so all the updates happen normally. This works for me and I don't have to worry about re-doing the market fix.
Cheers, Mal.

[Q] flash to CyanogenMod 7.1; Market not working!

So I flash to the CyanogenMod 7.1. I went to back stock before I did. Now I cant download anything at all. I keep getting "insufficent space on the device" no matter what app I try to install. Whats happening?
Also, when I start typing to search for an app, what shows up in the "drop down suggestion box" is 'java.lang.NullPointerExpception' Why?
Something else I am noticing is that every time I reboot my phone, it starts up like its starting up for the first time. Asking for my Google account info, forgetting my wifi access point, resetting the wallpaper/widgets, etc. Is it a bad flash??
EDIT: After a /system format, clear all caches, and re-flash things seem ok now...

I had the same problem, and the same solution. I have no idea why, since I had been using 7.1 for several weeks with no problems before the market issue developed. In any case, a reflash/cache clear solved it.

Since we're on the discussion of market and cyanogenmod, anyone know how to fix the market so it shows all apps? I've been pulling my hair out trying ot figure this one out for the last 24 hours. I changed my build prop ro.product.model to "SAMSUNG-SGH-I897" From just saying "SGH-I897", someone said that would work, and guess what? It didn't. I have no idea how to get terminal commands to work either, I did it by downloading an app called rom toolbox from the market.

[Q] Android Virus? Interal Phone Storage Maxing Out

[UPDATE] My phone crashed and then got stuck in a boot loop, so I had to reset it. I would still like input from anyone concerning the below, because whatever caused the internal storage problem directly contributed to the boot loop.
I have seen several other posts about this issue for several different phones, all from April, but it hasn't been resolved in any other forum, so I thought I would start here. My issue just started today. I have a Droid X that is running a CM7 nightly with a couple of zeppelinrox scripts. I have had CM7 installed since January, so I believe it does not relate to CM7 or any other mods I am running. I was thinking that it must be a virus. What happened (and continues to happen) is this:
- My phone played the message tone, and I got a notification saying that my phone storage was almost full and that I needed to do something about it. I thought that this was very odd, since I have 6.2 gigs of internal storage, and I don't have that many apps installed, and I have all of my pictures and other media on my SD Card.
- I then got a notification that my text message inbox was full, so an incoming text message was rejected. I get this notification every couple of minutes or so.
- I deleted several of my largest apps on my phone, which should have freed up about 30mb. It showed that I had 12mb free, which quickly shrank to 5mb, then 100kb, than 0.0kb, as if something was actively filling it up.
- I deleted about 700 text messages, and still got the same error as before.
What should I do???

Well, you won't lose anything trying to use an antivirus app.

Is there a way I can install it from my computer to my phone's SD card? I have been attempting to download an AV app, but Google Play force closes itself whenever I try to do this. Very frustrating!

You could try re-installing the whole rom.

Well you can download an APK (if exists) of a FREE antivirus and install it on your phone from the SD Card.
If it's a virus i don't think that it's stored on the sdcard, it could be there but the system is infected anyway.

same thing here
i have a droid x 2 global with cm7, I have the same problem . everything has been good but as of two days ago i started getting storage full and cant receive text warnings . i have like 6gb internal storage with very few apps installed and if i delete them and nothing really happens . i have pulled my hair out with this one. I did a fresh wipe "data and factory" and reinstalled c7 with an updated version . it all was good until 12 hours later bam same messages. did another wipe/reinstall when prompted to enter google account and stuff I deselected the box "allow google to restore phone" or something like that and haven't installed any apps. so far so good. i'm going to slowly install the apps i had and try to figure out what is going on. please let me know if you find a solution. the weird thin is it just started happening . i though virus but wtf ,

quigley, have you visited any websites on your phone that you don't normally go to? What internet browser app are you using? I am using Dolphin Mini, and I was researching some stuff with Google, and visited many sites I don't normally go to, so maybe a virus came from there.
Since my reset last night, I have yet to experience any problems. Thankfully, I had made a backup of all my apps and settings with Titanium Backup a week or so ago, and all my media was stored on my SD Card, so I didn't lose much. I never use the Google backup. And check this out:
Total App Usage: 289mb. Free: 6.3gb.
And this is the same set up I had right before the "event!" It must have been a virus. I see no other reason for 6 gigs to get that completely filled up in minutes. It can't have been CM7, because I haven't updated it in months! I wish someone could shed some light on this.

You can install it via the Web Market.

I have been using stock CM7 browser, and i don't browse much usually just google news, "never porn or torrent sites " i have a desktop for that fun. so i really don't think it was a virus from browsing . i haven't had any trouble since my second wipe and not using google restore during setup. i'm still slowly adding my usual apps. we will see what happens , P.S also when this happened i was unable to move stuff onto sd card , it showed full also. I really don't think it was a virus but it sure seems that way.

Some apps taking forever to open and get stuck

Hi everyone.
I remember some time ago I updated my phone with one of those monthly updates (cannot remember which one was was it or when, but I do perfectly remember this started happening after an update). Since then I've been experiencing issues with some apps. Just some apps fortunately and not the ones I use often.
Basically, whenever I open one of these apps it takes at least 3 minutes to load (sometimes even more), then the apps gets stuck so I get a message saying if I wanna close the app or wait so I just tap wait. Even though I've been facing these issues with apps that I don't use often it is still veeeeery annoying and now I'm bringing this issue here because I recently started using an app for college and when I need it in class I should not have to be waiting 3 or 4 minutes just to have a single app open. I tried formatting the phone and did not have any luck. Has anyone experienced something similar? Any tips on how to fix this?
Some other apps I have issues with:
-Temple Run 2
-Runtastic
-I'm Ping Pong King
-Uber
There are of course other apps I have the same issues with, I'm just mentioning a few. The games do not only take forever to load, but are laggy as hell and literally unplayable.

You could go into Apps and wipe their cache, and see if that helps. If that does not, perhaps going into TWRP and wiping cache there. If neither of those methods work . . . maybe an OS file or two have become corrupt?
You do have a TWRP backup, yes?
Are any of the apps related by a process they use, e.g. wifi, bluetooth . . . ?

Weird High CPU/Battery usage

Hi all,
I've a Moto G3 (2015) smartphone that, since few weeks, has a very weird problem. It starts using a very high CPU % and so the device become really hot and the battery goes down in a very little time.
I've already done the reset (multiple times) and started fresh, with no imported backups and installing the apps one by one manually (and only few of them). But the problem still is there, without a precise reason (sometimes just after the reset, without any new installed/upgraded app, sometimes after some days and without any changes from the day before...)
All I can see is that when it happens the PlayStore stops working... It can't install new app, nor update any of the installed ones
I tried several guides form the web about the PlayStore problem but no one work... I've everytime to reset the phone and start anew
Has someone the same problem?
Thanks in advance
