Hi guys, I was installing titanium backup the other day, and somehow after the download it got stuck @ installing. I tried restarting my phone, force closing the market app and reopening it but whatever i do it still comes out as 'installing' after it opens. Does anyone know how to fix this? btw im on nordic 2.1 rooted.
Thanks in adv.
(Ive tried going into the market app and clearing the cache, but it didnt help, also i had no 'uninstall updates button both in the market app and market updater app)
Yeah, I've noticed a number of my Market downloads (mostly app updates) tend to get stuck at "Installing". Usually at some point thereafter, the Market app will crash and reload, and things tend to startup sometime after that.
I haven't had any apps get completely stuck like you describe though.
Hm thanks, guess i'll keep waiting till it clears itself :x
hey I'm actually happening the same problem. did you ever figure it out?
Yeah the 2.1 Market seems a lot more flaky than the 1.6. I get a lot of stuck downloads and force closing. (Mostly when I use the Update All function)
ive had a similar problem before. i went into settings > applications > manage applications > market, then chose the options to clear cache and uninstall updates. restarted phone. ran market app, accepted terms n conditions again n all was well.. hope it helps
P.s - jus read your other bit on first post, dont have nordic 2.1 so cant really say, plus in my application settings i have only market, theres no market updater that i can see at mo

Well i was on nordic, then on global and now on rogers and I had all kind of Problem with the Market, not downloading, force closing/restarting, not installing ect...
I don't think it's related to the firmware since my experience.
Now it doesn't want to finish installing updates or stuff I downloaded from the market and when I try to install, Market force close and restart.
I post about it yesterday

Have you by chance been deleting google talk? Without google talk the market encounters all sorts of wonky errors.

Yeah, I actually ran into a problem after my previous flash (and then again when I re-flashed today) that when installing or updating an app from the market once it was downloaded and the install actually started, the Market would FC. As such, I couldn't install apps from the market.
I fixed it with the same process, and both times it has corrected the problem and made the market work reliably.

I did in the nordic version and it actually causes the downloads to be "active" but actually not downloading.
I was encountering a different problem but got it resolved by uninstalling the market updates.
I guess one of market's update Is not very stable

I want to start the Market Updater but since it is a system app I am not sure of how to force start it or if there is an app for this, there are many apps for stopping other apps but none that I know for starting them. My phone is not rooted.
Yesterday when the market was updated I kept deleting it because I was not sure what was going on, I was not given a notice that there was an update or was ever asked if I wanted to update. The new markets icon was not the same and since I am always quick to think something unfamiliar is a virus I kept uninstalling it and eventually took out the battery and restarted my phone (I know I am weird). NE Ways I looked it up on the net and confirmed that there was indeed a new market released and now I want it back so that is the reason for this question.
Please do NOT post or link to the apk, I want to get it through the Market Update app.

search and download in the market named "Startup Manager", once you've open it, you will have three tabs. Go to the 3rd tab labeled "Custom". from that tab you can add an application that you want to start on startup..
hope it helps if i understood your problem correctly..

I'm assuming you've tried to clear data and force close market from settings -> applications?
I got the Market update this morning too and I have not had any problems.
I'm having the same problem... I posted about it twice in the Prime thread to no avail. I have cleared the Market data and also the apps data that I have had problems updating.
It's only select apps (google apps?) that seems to force close the market when trying to update them.
what phone is it? im kinda lost here...im new to this form and would like some help.
.
Yeah, i cleared the data and cache, i even did a full system wipe to try a solve but no dice. Hopefully an update is forth coming that will solve this, kinda a pain not being able to update apps.
Cold boot fixed it for me when I updated to the latest firmware
i assume you did not read the info before installed right?
it's said that 3.3.11 is not working perfectly on Honeycomb tablet's
but now you now

I assume you know that this was pushed silently and we had no choice, right?
Now you know.
I also have some problems with the new Market app. However, it seems to only force close when I select specific paid apps under My Apps. One of those apps received an update, which it luckily installed automatically, and now I can select that app again without a problem. Maybe the Market crashed on certain permission settings that they changed or something. Just an idea.
Btw, it has been tried by gnufabio to put back the previous version of the Market, but that didn't work because of how the apk's are signed or something (correct me if I'm wrong!).
Hey Guys!

Not sure what else you can try. Another thing I can suggest is clear data for Google services framework. Good luck
Also are you rooted? What version market are you on now?
Try this version if you're not already on it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329262&highlight=market
Last thing to do is wipe data and start clean.
Tried, no cigar. That is the version that is giving me grief. Very odd. it FC and gives me the process com.android.vending stopped working.
Maybe the only thing left is to do a full factory reset. Very stupid.
No mine is not rooted. Thanks for the help
FIXED! It was a bad version of Documents to go... Deleted and it allowed me to get back into my apps in market. Interesting
That seems odd but at least you're fixed

I'm having the same problem now. Clearing data on market and android framework followed by restarting the tablet fixed the issue temporarily only for it to happen again after a short while.
Also noticed other performance related issues, force closes, lock ups, etc. Also resulting in the same error message as the market app issue - process com.android.vending has stopped working.
Only had these issues since the most recent update from Asus.
I'm having the same issue, I go into the market, everything is good till I try and go to my installed apps. Then f/c everytime. Very annoying. I do not have documents to go. Will have to try and hard reset it when I get home tonight. Son of a *****.
Just reading this thread.... the issue isn't isolated to the transformer.... my xoom same prob, and solution....
Sent from my Xoom using xda premium
Thanks for the heads up, hard resetting didn't do a damn thing. Same errors. Google Music launch equals market crash? Maybe?
All right guys I need some input here....
I cleared market cash and data, reverted to older market, removed sd card, remounted sd card, rooted and installed prime then revolver, tried installing the newest market apk to no avail. Called google to see what was going on with my account, they said it was fine and it was the hardware. I put my fiance's account info on my tablet and it downloads famously. Factory restored and put my account back on and I get "download unsuccessful, please try again" every time on updates and app downloads.
Using my account I can go to market.android.com on a pc and push the application/update to my device and it works fine. This is a pain in the ass to do all of the time though. Can anyone help before I start using this thing for a coaster?
P.S. The market on my thunderbolt and HD 2 work fine.
**UPDATE**I just left it alone for a couple hours out of frustration and it works fine now. Must have been on google's side with the big market makeover.
most specifically my Facebook app. whenever I force quit it or reboot the phone, my Facebook app reverts back to an old version. it says its the most up to date version when I check the version # and there's no updates available. I am rooted and have turned auto update off on the app within play store. this is really obnoxious having to uninstall and then reinstall the app multiple times a day bc the old version is AWFUL. any help would be appreciated GREATLY!

stock ROM and 4.5.10. its actually not just or force quits and reboots but that generates the problem 100% of the time. I noticed sometimes when I go to my Facebook app it'll just be an old version. although it has the same and most up to date version when I check the version #. when I uninstall and then install again its back to the newest version. reverts randomly a few hours later.

Is it only the Facebook app doing this? I'd try wiping data/cache for app, going to recovery, backup, wipe data/cache, reboot and try to see if problem persists. If it does, something between the Facebook app and google play is not working correct.
heres screenshot of app before and after a soft reboot.

it is the only app doing it that ive noticed but since im fairly new to android, its hard for me to tell older versions from new ones, this one is just SO obvious and frankly that old version is just awful.
i wiped data/cache from the app, went into recovery and wiped cache partition but didnt wipe the data, i assume that completely wipes the phone? sorry like i said i have only had this phone for 2 weeks from long time iphone user minus a short stint with a moto droid in 2009.

It's perfectly fine. Yes, don't wipe the data since that will wipe everything. But, since this did not clear up the issue, it sounds like a Facebook problem. I've heard many people complain about layaway build. Best thing I could say to do is try uninstall, reboot phone, and try reinstall. If that doesn't work, I'd try to find last version Facebook apk file (or current Facebook version apk file) NOT from play store, install,and wait for Facebook to fix the app from this problem. Still seeing possible other way to fix. By installing apk not from play store would allow phone to hopefully not reset to old version since play store doesn't realize you have Facebook anymore (since not from play store). A quick work around until fixed.
If this is facebook only, it might very well be a Facebook problem. Especially when you say that it changes even though the version of the apk stays the same.
Facebook has been testing the new layout by having both the new and the old one in the same apk, then they enable or disable it server side by accounts in order to try different versions of the new layout for different people and see the different responses in usage and so on. This sounds like a bug with that mechanism inside the Facebook app, and is not fixable as such. I for one have yet to see the new layout on my device.
You could try clearing the data for the facebook app to see if that helps.

Are you sure you aren't registered to facebook beta testing?
99.9% sure as I've never opted into a beta test for android.
All,
I have read and experienced force closes when updating to this latest version 42.0.2311.129.
I have experienced force closes without error messages for a few apps after the update. Uninstalling and re-installing does not resolve the issue!
After reading some others who experience this as well I advise you all not to update this TURD !
After I uninstalled this update all my apps started working correctly again.
Its nothing more that Chrome without the shell.
Does anyone know if this can be permanently removed ?
Thanks in Advance
Update 4/25/2015 - as per suggested below you can use TB to freeze this nugget as so it wont update.
Update 4/30/2015 - You can get the latest release of this app here:

Thanks for the tip and the guys over on Fluent. Just froze it it TiBU. Went to Play and is was locked and loaded to update.
I wasn't having issues until the latest update a couple days ago. Now I've noticed my reddit client crops out all the time and several other apps close without error
Ahhh.. so is this fricking thing the reason most of my apps are closing lately??
I was just about to post seeing if anyone else has recently had problems with a lot of apps (Kik not letting keyboard open, tweetcaster, ES file explorer, my MZW app, and a couple others all just force closing right after I select them).
So is it this thing causing this? I have never seen this app until recently, maybe after the 5.0 update. Anyone getting solutions to work, this is very, very frustrating!! Just started about a week or so ago. What does this app even do?

Yes, I had issues with KIK, but clearing the cache seemed to do the trick with launching the keyboard. Cant say other than my experience.
My FitnessPal opened then closed. I tried uninstalling it, and re-installing it, to no avail. Only after I uninstalled that abomination did the app start to work correct. I cant say how many apps this thing is crashing, but after seeing the similar negative reviews on the playstore, I am convinced this is not limited to M8.
There are some fanboys of Google of this app raving about how it changed their life and they are not single b/c of it anymore, others saying its your phone, and to wipe you phone but you DO NOT have to wipe or reset your phone, just roll back the app should be good enough, if you are rooted use TB to freeze it.
I have not tried to remove it completely yet which is what i want to do eventually.
yeah.. I think it's a running joke type of thing to leave over the top, ridiculous silly comments about it on the play store. Do not know where or why that started but it detracts from the reality that this thing sucks! I unistalled the update, froze it with TI backup, restarted the phone and all my apps that were affected by (Tweetcaster, ES file explorer, my VZW, and probably others but those are the main ones I know of for sure) now work 100 %. It was definitely this app that was affecting them for some reason.
As far as Kik goes, not sure, I deleted the app, re-installed it, cleared everything, tried different keyboards, and nothing seems to fix the keyboard not popping up. If I click the + sign like to add an attachment, then back, it brings the keyboard up no problem. Hopefully an update to that app will fix it soon.
Here is a flashable.zip of the latest working version before this latest atrocity, in-case anyone needs it.
I couldn't even type in the stock HTC messaging.apk along with many other apps not working, with the new update. Once re-storing to this older version all my apps and everything is back to normal.
Google is much better than this.
I really don't understand how people can leave a comment in PlayStore saying this update is anything but horrible.

Its good to know this thing is getting pushed so quickly
These crashes have been driving me nuts. What I'm confused about is that all of the apkmirror webview updates say they are for Lollipop API 21... I'm having identical issues on 4.4.4 CleanROM. When I first found people saying it was a webview issue I looked through system apps and there is no webview to be found so now I'm at a loss on how to fix it
