[Q] Phone randomly tries to "Connect to DM server..." - Captivate General

Every so often I noticed the red/blue arrows on the top of the notifications bar stating Device management "Connecting to DM server...." . After a few minutes it pops up a screen with Communication Error.
Also, when I try to do a software update through settings it says "No firmware" without even connecting or checking.
My phone is rooted and was reverted back to 2.1 using Odin after I upgraded to the unofficial 2.2. I haven't been able to do any software updates since. The Firmware version is 2.1-update1. I'm not sure if this is the official latest one or not.

You're up to date. Relax, if a push comes, you'll know about it here first.

I'm just wondering why this randomly happens. Its annoying when my phone starts to lag (even w/ the lag fix) and it drops everything I'm doing to show a screen saying "connection failed."
Additionally, i'm on a 200mb data plan and it uses a significant amount of data on 3G.

My phone kept habitually checking the DM server all the time after the last official update. I finally went into Manage Applications and cleared the cache on Device Management.

I didn't find the DM server in Manage Applications but I did find it in the Running Services and disabled it from there. Since then it hasn't popped up so I think this fixed it. Thanks!

You have to set the filter to "All" instead of the default "Third Party" for it to show up. Forgot about that.

I can't update or download apps from Market.

I can't install apps I've paid for. I can purchase new ones but they get stuck on "starting download" with a over ending status bar. Um on fresh .6
Wouldn't you know...
This problem's fixed itself since I posted this question. It didn't work for at least 2 weeks. Today I just queued up a bunch of apps to update, plus a new one to install (TivoRemote) and it did lag at the "Starting Download" progress bar for a looong time then all at once they started coming through as they should one-by-one. Typical.
Awesome.
I've had this randomly happened to me, even before I rooted my phone. I would typically disable my mobile data connection, enable wifi, then disable wifi and re-enable mobile. I have no clue what step along that way actually fixed it but it would start downloading again every time. I haven't seen it in a while though.
The same thing has been happening to me, I would restart my phone and the app would say it was installed but it force closed after uninstalling then reinstalling it worked fine

Boot Loop on Desire Z after Updating apps via Market

Hi all,
Just ran a market update on my Desire Z with Virtuous 1.02 this morning, whaddayaknow, phone froze and rebooted when installing some of the apps (couldn't tell you which). "That's odd" I thought, restarted, re-enabled wifi (thankfully I have to give the credential storage password after each boot, so it won't connect automatically), and bang! the update helpfully automatically resumes and same thing. I can't tell which apps are downloading at the time as I haven't managed to get the notification drawer to come down before the phone becomes unresponsive. Currently living with wifi turned off so the updates don't start but this is something of a hack, you must agree. Any ideas?
I was thinking the obvious workaround would be to cancel the upgrades, but because wifi and mobile data are off I can't open the market app (Connectivity Error!). Anyone have any clues as to how to go about it? Or even anyone affected by the same problem?
Thanks,
Jarrad
/bump.
Also now I'm getting "System UIDs inconsistent" errors on boot and a uiderrors.txt with every single installed app (incl. factory/system apps) being listed as having a mismatched uid. Ideas?

[Q] Acer Iconia Tab A100 not doing pretty much anything else

My Acer tablet is not allowing me to open the google play store.
When I try to open it, it says loading then closes out
I also get this error: process com.google.process.gapps
I also keep getting the error that Unfortunately the android keyboard is not working
I have disabled the keyboard and that is the only way to get anything to come up
It also says that Gmail has stopped working
And calendar has stopped working
There is no browser on the tablet anymore and no download manager
I have done the factory reset several times to try and remedy this with no luck.
It won't sync with my gmail account either.
The operating system says Android 4.0.3. I try the system update and that's when it says
[*]Network coverage is currently poor. Please move to a location with better coverage to continue. I am sitting right next to the modem for wi-fi.
Help!!!!!!

All of those errors are from /system, which is odd, are you rooted? These suffer from eventual death of the EMMC, and abnormal behavior is generally associated with it, so things missing or just randomly crashing all of a sudden is some of the signs. A check would be to just reflash the rom if you're rooted, if you're not there's no real way to check or correct issues on /system.
Thanks

I am not rooted. Reading up on how to that now. I'll see if this works. Thanks for you reply.

[Q] PlayStore not downloading app updates

N5 KK4.4.3 / Stock ROM & Stock kernel / Rooted (SupeSU 1.94) / PhilzTouch6 6.15.4 custom recovery (CWM 6.0.4.7)
Play Store build v 4.8.20. / Play Services 4.4.52 (1174655-038)
Play Store appears to work fine in all tested facets except for manually updating Play Store apps.
When choosing to update apps which Play Store indicates need updating, the download process appears to initiate, but nothing more. After I accept permission changes (if any) "Download..." appears in the Play Store app and on notification bar, (the blue horizontal scrolling download bar just continuously scrolls) but none of the apps appear to download even one byte. This happens if I choose "update all" or update an app individually. (connected via StraightTalk data connection, as wifi not available at my current location). Same issue in Safe mode.
I can buy/listen music via Play Store, browse the web with Chrome, download Google Mail. I cleared Play Store app cache. Never observed this behavior in 4.4.2 (but unsure if I previously attempted to manually update Play Store apps after install of 4.4.3).
What might be the best practice troubleshooting tips to apply in this scenario?
Updated with 444 OTA and issue continues.
thats not an android specific problem..its more a playstore problem..ive have encountered this a least once with every single android phone i've own dated back to the OLD Motorola DROID days its basicallly hanging cuz its not "receiving" data connection. whether wifi or cellular. a remedy that i've learned is to look for the current app that is "downloading" and cancel the download.and it should move on to the next one and start downloading again. works everytime for me.

Yes, tried that. And as stated attempted to update apps individually.
Found that I could update via wifi. But not via StraightTalk data connection. Previously did not have issues updating via StraightTalk. So have to research this issue.

I can still download updates via wi-fi connection but no longer able to download Play Store manual updates when connected to StraightTalk data connection. Up to about three weeks ago I was able to download updates via StraightTalk, but no longer. When connected to StraightTalk I still receive notifications app updates are available but they will not download, either individually or selected as a group ('update all'). When update is selected, the Play Store shows a download notification for a few seconds and continuously displays "downloading..." on the apps page but nothing else.
Still unable to figure this out. Everything else is working fine. Just not able to download app updates from PlayStore when connected to StraightTalk (AT&T) data connection. Downloading updates via wifi works fine. But I'm almost always in an area without wifi access.
UPDATE: I allowed the update download attempt continue for ten minutes or so, and an error notification finally shows up:
"Error
Update for "whatever app" could not be downloaded due to an error. (495)"
Googled "could not be downloaded due to an error (495)" and found some possibilities I need to research.

Discovered that was a generic error message.
But found a solution. In Settings > Data Usage > Mobile > Media > 'Restrict background data' was checked.
Guess I won't do that again
So my next question is how to set Google Play to NOT check for updates.
I know how to disable auto updates, but I'd like the phone to also not check for updates. I rather do that on my own.

Snapdragon Battery Guru Admin access settings

Hello,
I am new to this form so please excuse me if i leave out some details but i own a oneplus one black 64gb running the latest ota cm11 update and one day I decided to explore a new app called "snapdragon battery guru." (it was new to me atleast) The app worked great for a week or 2 but then i noticed that my service was being messed up by the app(this isnt the issue) so i looked up some reviews and i saw many other people with the same problem so I decided to uninstall the app... (This is where the problem starts)
After uninstalling the app my phone constantly has messages on common things that i use most importantly the "disable lock screen" when on the home profiles so that i dont have to type in my password at home all the time. However, after uninstaling the app, that option in the profile settings is grayed out and says that it is "disabled by administrator, encryption policy, or credential storage"... again i looked it up on google and found that clearing my credential storage seems to be a temporary fix that last about 2 hours and then the option ends up graying out again. (which can get really really annoying because my vpns are constantly cleared out every time)
Can anyone please help me with this problem!
Thanks
Jiggy
Have you tried a factory reset? That's your best option.

Settings, security, device administrator, what do you have enabled there
