Can't download apps from market - Captivate General

I just updated to JH7 using samsung kies and now I can't download any apps from the market. The phone is completely stock since I used Odin to flash it before the JH7 update. Any ideas on how to fix this problem?

Had that problem before the update... Unmounted the internal SD Card, then formatted it.. wipe my music, but I was able to reload it... That fixed the whole thing... You might also try going into recovery mode and clearing the cache....

Did you use titanium backup?

I used titanium backup a while back before the Odin master clear and flash to stock stock firmware.
Just removed my sd card and downloads work again. I guess the titanium backups that I had on the sd card is causing the problem.

It seems to stop working again after I downloaded quick settings. Can't download even after reformating the sd card and taking it out. Also I can't get the e-mail app to work. It shows "checking incoming server settings" then shows the message "unable to open connection to server. Tried it with wifi and 3g.

I think this has been answered several times over the last few days. Basics are to not let ti restore anything system related, only your apps and data.
That fixes the market problem, no idea on the email but id start with that.

I didn't use titanium backup to restore anything. Just used it to uninstall the bloatware before I flashed it back to stock with Odin. So how do I fix it?

[Q] Hard Reset Issue - Question

I'm running Cog2.3b6. When I do a hard reset, my phone starts, I see the Cog logo/screen and then pretty much all hell breaks loose. I get FC stop error after FC error. Mainly in RomManager, TiBackup, LauncherPro.
The only way I can recover from this is to uninstall RomManager, reinstall RomManager and re-flash the Cog Rom and then restore from TI Backup my apps.
Can someone explain what is happening?
Also I notice when I Hardreset I see the Samsung Menu not the clockwork screen.
Is there a way to always get to the Clockwork screen?
I'm just a noob trying to understand why..
Any guidance is appreciated.
Dave
Are you restoring system data with titanium backup?
Also if you keep the update.zip on the sd card select reinstall packages in the 2e recovery menu. It should do something and bring you back to the same menu and select reinstall packages again you should be in CWM recovery.

I only do apps and data restore.
The update.zip is on my internal sd card.
Is that where i should keep it?

Residual memory between ROM flashes?

I have flashed many different ROMS lately: Andromeda 1.2, Serendipity 5.10, stock AT&T 2.2, and Cognition 4. Each time I have: factory reset, Odin master cleared, formatted both Int/Ext SD, flashed back to Stock JF6, and master cleared again. This is probably too excessive, but at times have noticed that some things stick around, i.e. speed dial settings, Google/ Google Maps search history, and Market search history.
Am I missing something? Should I removed battery longer between flashes to purge possible memory residue? Please advise.
I now understand how app info linked to Google/Gmail may hang around, but speed dial settings sticking around a couple different flashes confounds me.
I have no idea man but I have problems doing a update through kies or kies mini and even update from the phone it fails at 50% and kies mini says unrecognized device while regular kies says unable to upgrade it. I have deleted everything on phone formatted it. which i dont think is a actual full format more like a partial one, master clear, Odin 1 click restore to stock jf6. factory restored, still I cant get kies mini to recognize phone. I deleted all the drivers on my computer and let kies install them, I can transfer to and from computer using kies or through explorer no problems just cant upgrade. So I to think something is not being cleared, not to mention any master clear or even factory reset it always left all the folders and files including apk's I had in a folder named apk's. I deleted everything i could manually on phone, same problem.

[Q] After putting Infused on, Android store won't open

I just rooted my phone and then installed Infused. I then did a batch restore using titanium backup for all apps and data. Now my whole phone seems buggy and the Android store will not open. I have to keep force closing it.
Does anyone else have these issues?
EDIT: Just noticed that it did not restore half of what it said it did and now the titanium backup program itself is missing. I feel like i'm going to have to reflash all over again and just lose all my stuff.
I got the android store working but my previous problem returned of insufficient space message on my phone when I am trying to download from the android store. I have 1.17gb free on phone, 13gb free on internal sd and 30gb free on external... Does anyone know why the space message?
Do a fresh reflash and do not install from titanium, install fresh from market then do a fresh backup with titanium
infuse 4g "a lot a screen real estate"
I think I'll have to try that and deal with having to replace everything.hopefully that works. I'm brand new to android and have had an iphone since they first came out so this is completely different but much better.

Next time you do a batch restore after installing/flashing a new rom be sure after you open titainium backup that you do not select "Restore missing apps + system data" but instead select "restore all apps with data" . Just be sure that you do not restore system data.
Also after you do a restore, reboot the phone into recovery mode and wipe the dalvik cache and the regular cache then select "reboot now" from the recovery menu.. After the phone restarts let it sit for 5-6 minutes after that I am certain you will have either no problems or a lot less problems..
If only a few apps are giving problems, just uninstall those apps and re install them, then restart the phone.
Hope this helps,
Have a great day.
Thanks for the posts...I am going to attempt to reflash with the rom again and then do just the restore all apps with data.
EDIT: reflashing now...fingers crossed!
Everything seemed to go well..now i'm back to getting the "Error downloading. There is insufficient space on the device" when in the android market. I have plenty of space on my phone and SD card.

[Q] Apps Disappearing When Moved To Phone Storage

So, I recently flashed a new ROM and started to experience this problem
As I was syncing my apps back from Titanium, I rebooted my phone and I noticed that every app that was originally saved to phone storage seemed to have disappeared.
A closer look into Manage Applications showed all those apps in a "com..." format. I even took an app that was saved to the SD card that worked and moved it to phone storage. After a reboot, the app had also disappeared and changed to the above format. I even tried to uninstall these apps and reinstall via the market and when i rebooted again, the app was gone and back to the above format.
I've even tried to do a complete clean reinstallation of the ROM using the cleanest stock method possible and it worked to no avail.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
Seems like a bad flash. Try flashing clean again. Try installing a couple of apps from market, and reboot and see if they are still there.

I used this in order to cleanly install the ROM twice with same problem. I uninstalled some of the apps in the "com" format and installed them from the market and when i rebooted the apps were gone, back into the same format as before

[Q] Titanium Backup Pro problems

I've had it for ages now without any problems whatsoever.
But last night something happened that i cant rightly explain!
I un-installed a useless notpad app, that i recently installed, and after that ALL apps in TBP shows with a warning triangle, even if i do a full backup it just shows the triangle and i cant restore ANYTHING..
It says it got the app and data, but i cant do ANYTHING with it.
I even reinstalled the whole ROM, TWICE without any change in how TBP is dealing with programs..
Complete format of SD card, exct..
Still it REFUSES to let me restore my apps..
Even if do a full backup, followed by trying to restore, it says i have zero apps to restore..

check the titanium backup folder properly on your sd card
it might have got corrupted !

That sounds like a likely possibility. Maybe try a new backup and see if you can restore that? If that works, it would tell you that the original backup somehow got corrupted.
Ok, figured out what was the problem but damn it was annoying.
Under "Filter by platform"
Check EVERY single box EVEN those who where "empty" and presto, backups worked again.
Dunno why default download of the app set it to a few select options.
Seems dumb to me.
