I would suggest reflashing the rom of your choice, w/wipe data & cache.
It may be you have a corrupt installation.

I'm running VEGAn beta 5.11 at the moment. For the last week or so I kept getting Google Framework Services errors and my Market was whacked out (kept asking me to re-accept the terms as if I was setting it up new) and also apps both purchased through the Market previously or apps I got from other sources sideloaded wouldn't install anymore.
So, after dealing with this for like I said about a week I booted into recovery via ClockworkMod and wiped my data, wiped my cache, wiped my delvic cache, and then reflashed VEGAn beta 5.1 then rebooted into recovery again and installed the VEGAn 5.11 update. Now my gTab is running like a champ. Most everything shows up in the Market (with the exception of QuickOffice which I purchased before). I was able to sideload my copy of QuickOffice on my gTab and now it is as solid as I can expect it to be.
While the sympthoms my gTab displayed isn't what you're reporting but perhaps a reflash will do your gTab good.
is it me or do most of these roms end up needing to be reflashed after a while? My tab was rock solid up until the last week or so.
Had a strange one as well last night
I tried viewing photos from a Samsung digital camera on my Gtab running vegan 5.1.1 and at first it was working great. It then locked up on me in my gallery, so I rebooted. Upon reboot I went back into the gallery and noticed the amount of photos was going down. I shut it down and pulled the sd card - all photos were wiped!! Luckily I have Pandora Recovery & an micro SD card reader, was able to recover about 98% of the photos.
No clue what happened!!!
add an empty file named ".nomedia" to any directory on the external sdcard. Gallery wont see them but they wont get erased either
Redid it last night. Running great now. I think it all started when my wife ran the battery dead a week or so ago?

Hello,
Early last week I put Vegan 5.1 on my gtab. Everything was working well and I had started installing a couple of apps and personalizing the device.
Friday night I downloaded Dungeon Defenders played around with it for a bit, then turned it off. Saturday morning when I turned it on everything seemed fine but then I realized it appears to have done a partial reset or something.
Some apps were suddenly missing, angry birds which was already in place and titanium which I had downloaded. (never got a chance to figure out how to use titanium)
Two apps that I installed now get force close errors at boot-up, a notepad app and Nook.
I cleared a bunch of the default bookmarks from the browser and added a few of my own, all of that was reset. My bookmarks are gone and all the stock bookmarks are back in place.
When I tried to open the market it acted like it was the first time I had used it, the user agreement popped up and I had to accept again.
Does anyone have any idea what might have caused this 'reset', and how I might keep it from happening again?
Thanks in advance.
I am running the enhancement pack with 3389. I had the exact same issue over the weekend. Some of the same apps were missing. Market was reset and was only showing very few apps.
angry birds, dolphin browser etc was missing. I am also getting a lot of random force closes.
Just as an FYI the battery didn't run out of juice.

I run vegan 5.1 with Pershoot's 1/09/2010 kernel, which I find is the most stable for Vegan on the Gtab. Solid as a rock!
Sounds like a potential issue with the internal storage. Is the tablet mounted on your pc by any chance or was the sdcard option unmounted in settings?

I have had it connected to my PC but I don't think I did at all that day.
Wasn't sure if you were referring to the internal SD or removable microSD but in either case they are both mounted and seem to be fine.

Ok, I tried to avoid bothering people to solve this but I am just genuinely lost.
The other day I finally took the plunge and rooted my Nexus S and everything worked perfectly. So I decided to install CM7 7.0.3 Stable so I did a Nandroid backup of my current rom, then flashed CM7. Again, everything looked fine. So I proceeded to flash the google apps. As soon as I did that and logged into my google account, the market started going nuts trying to download all of my apps. The count in the notification bar was actually higher by a substantial margin than the apps that it was actually installing. After this happened, the first few downloads worked then the rest of them started to fail. So, at this point, I had a successfully installed rom and all of the google apps worked perfectly, except I couldn't download anything through the market.
At this point, I thought it would be best to go back to my restore point through Nandroid. Once I reverted back to my stock 2.3.4, the problem was still there. I wasn't able to download anything from the market. So, in my frustration, I went out drinking with my buddies and ended up crashing on a couch. In the morning, I woke up, my phones battery toast so I got into my truck, plugged it in, booted up and voila, market works again.
This led me to believe it was a server side issue. So today, I reinstalled the CM7 and google apps and tried again. Same issue. Now I am wondering, do I leave CM7 on for 24 hours to see if it fixes itself again or do I try to find another copy of the google apps. The ones I have are the ones I dl'd through rom manager.
Before anyone asks, I have tried all the usual suspects:
-Cleared the market data / Cache
-Cleared the Cache in Clockwork
-Cleared the Dalvik Cache in Clockwork
-Tried reflashing the google apps
No dice.
Anyone else have this issue or have any ideas for me?
Ok so I have a HTC G2 (Desire/Vision). I decided that i finally wanted to root it and go all out. So I did the permaroot and installed the newest version of Clockworkmod no problem. I then flashed the CM 7.03 rom. Booted up, everything looked good. I then flashed the newest version of gApps. It asked me to sign in and everything was fine. The final step I took was flashing the G2-Fast kernel (1.9ghz OC). So when i boot up my phone, google attempts to back up all my apps via the market. There was around 100 apps downloading. So I left it there over night. This morning i check it, the last 10 apps or so were unsuccessful. I kept trying to reinstall apps but nothing. I also tried new or different apps but all come up as "Download Unsuccessful". Since then I've tried just about everything to fix it. clearing cache/data, reflashing, superwipe, sobe's method, signing into to GTalk, toggling 2G. I figured I try a new rom. So far I've flashed meXdroidMod and MIUI, but same result. Everything is fine but market doesn't want to work. I'm contemplating reloading my old ROM that i backed up once i get home. Anyone have any ideas? I pray to the gods of XDA.
I don't have much experience with your particular phone buy there has been a small epidemic of your issue on droid x running Gingerbread. It appears to be a disconnection of the google account with the market. It always appears to happen after a data wipe and need to reinstall apps. Sometimes you can still push apps from the Internet market to the phone, sometimes not. In a few cases it resolves by unmounting the sd card and downloading. Once download works then ok to remount. Besides those lucky few, everyone else has to wait it out. Even sbf does not fix it.
FORTUNATELY every case I know of resolved itself spontaneously in about 24hrs give or take. I found at least one case via google on a Thunderbolt so I know it can happen to other phones. Also if you have more than one android device on the same account all of them are affected. Good Luck
It has happened twice to me. Because of this I now keep copies of my most important apps on my sd card.

To get this across, this is not an "insufficient space' error.
Alright so to make a long story short: (I hope)
I have used Weapon G2x for about 2 mo, everything ran fine. I wanted more power+battery life over the LG cam, so I went back to EB 2.3.5(7) (oct 11th update) + Trinity T15. I also formatted my SD card before that (which I havnt done yet).
After installing that I ran into the CM issue with the LED notifications being disabled and got reboots after about 20 FC's after a reboot. So it was essentially a boot loop, just after all the FC's in the first 20 seconds. So I did the same as usual, cleared cache, factory reset, format /system.
Reinstalled, updated with Titanium, the same jumbo as usual. This time, I cannot update the apps that need to updated via the market. I looked into it farther (after clearing data from market app), and uninstalled some apps then tried re-installing them. All i get is a box with an error that says "... Was unsuccessful due to an error" Thats it.
To go to the farthest realm, i reverted to my stock backup to try that. I get the same thing now. On every ROM I try, I cannot update my apps. Now I'm not sure if this is a TB thing, or a market issue with my phone, but if i reverted back to my stock version, did nothing but try and update an app, I dont possibly see how its a TB issue.
I ran some searches, and nothing exact or at least nothing was 'fixed' in any posts I found. So I'm shooting in the dark here. To be honest, i hope its something totally stupid and easy to fix. If I read right, going to a backup will fix your ext4 to ext3 issue? Im not even sure if this falls into that category or not, but just thought maybe. In that respect I also wanted a clean phone so i formatted everything except sd card via cwm, was their anything in their I shouldnt have formatted? (emmc would be the only one I could see posing an issue) Please help me =/
Well it seems to have been slowly working itself out. Very odd, but I still cant update a few apps, but I can update some, and dl apps now at least. I diddnt do anything, it just seems to have started happening after a few reboots... Just making the update.
So here is what I'm dealing with. A couple of weeks ago apps on my phone kept crashing. I was seeing a constant "Google Play Services has stopped" message and I was completely unable to use my phone. I ended up saying screw it and I did a factory reset.
The problem was still happening after a reset so I figured I should do a full wipe (Dalvik, cache, system, data) and reinstall the ROM (Cyan 11). Unfortunately that still didn't fix the problem.
Since then I've tried everything. I've ran "Fix Permissions" which seemed to work for about a day and then it started again. Sometimes rebooting the phone fixes the issue for a day but it always comes back. It's not always Google Play Services. It seems to be any random app on my phone that starts to constantly crash. Sometimes this happens from the phone's home screen, other times when I go into the app (gmail seems to be a problem more often than not). The phone was also just randomly rebooting, sometimes a few times a day and sometimes when trying to update apps I'll get various errors (package not signed, error 960, etc).
I finally decided that Cyanogenmod might be the problem. I've replaced my recovery (was CWM) but now I have TWRP. I downloaded Paranoid's latest ROM for the S3, did a factory reset, wiped Dalvik, system, data and cache. I also told TWRP to fix the file system in hopes that it would help and then I told it to Fix Permission.
Once I installed the ROM and the Google Apps, phone boots, I sign in....apps start crashing. I'm so lost. I don't know what else to do. Why would a phone that is freshly wiped have problems with apps crashing. This was happen with both Cyanogenmod and Paranoid. I'm running the same version/download of Cyanogen on my gf's S3 and it's been fine. The phone has been rooted since I got it almost 2 years ago and running Cyanogen this whole time. I only switched to Paranoid in hopes it would fix this problem.
Does anyone have any ideas on something I should try? Right now my phone is a pain to use, I'm constantly clearing crash pop ups and then just today it suddenly lost my google account and all my data was gone. No contacts, gmail empty, etc.
Silly but serious question, is play services installed? I've seen several people try to install Google Apps without play services installed and it will give this error without it being installed. I can't produce a screen shot for you as I'm not on a locked bootloader

Well, although I've never specifically installed Google Play Services, it should be part of the Google Apps zip file I'm flashing along with the ROM. This is happening with 2 different ROMs with their respective Google Play App zip files.
I also just checked and it is listed in Apps>All.

Alright, I've seen this issue on several different posts. Just a suggestion, it's worth a try at this point.
Try removing play services from the system file, make a backup first. Reboot and then reinstall the backup you made, it should push it back into data/app
From my CM11 S3
Certainly can't hurt. I'll give it a shot this evening and see if it helps.

By chance did you get a moment to try this?
From my CM11 S3
I didn't. I don't know why but the phone seems to be working correctly now. I don't understand why. I didn't do anything but suddenly things aren't crashing. It's been stable for 24 hours now. I didn't do anything so I don't know why but I'm just holding off until I see a crash. Still confused but glad it's working (except my GPS).
I'm honestly afraid to reboot it now. It hasn't worked this well in weeks. Normally I'll open gmail and get a crash 99% of the time. I reboot and it works for a bit but then starts crashing again. Same thing with other apps. Maybe it heard me talking about wanting to throw it out a window and it's got scared. =)

As long as it works that's all that matters. That is odd that all of the sudden it started just working fine
From my CM11 S3
Yeah, just like how it 'broke'. It was working one minute and then suddenly throwing crashing all over. This phone is possessed. At least I can upgrade in April. If I see the problem return, I'll try the above suggestion and report back.
