Boot Loop on Desire Z after Updating apps via Market - General Questions and Answers

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?

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

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

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.

[Q] Miui on Desire S - Market not downloading

Hey there!
Today is my first day running with miui 1.9.30 on my desire s.
I switched from VoidU 1.1a just to try some new stuff.
Everything is working fine, but when trying to download apps from the store, it's just not working.
It says "Starting Download...", the page reloads but progress is stuck at "Starting Download".
In the "My Apps" menu, the download is listed, but also stuck on starting.
Wasn't able to find a solution to this problem so far.
I tried wiping cache / market data / google apps data.
Some people said it's related to google talk. So i have overwritten it with a different version, still no progress.
All other downloads are working fine. I can download from the internet and through the MIUI theme manager.
The Appstore even calls me when i have new updates.
Google Sync also syncs without problems
Does anyone have / had similar issues?
Aqua
PS: Yes i have looked in the Download App.
I am using a WPA secured WiFi connection.
When that happened to my GF the problem was that the language set for her Google account wasn't the same as the language on her phone. Switching that fixed it.
Today exactly the same thing happened also to me.
When trying to download apps from the market, it said "Starting Download...", the page reloads but progress was stuck at "Starting Download".
Yesterday everything was fine.
I tried now to switch from 3G to Wireless, and downlaoding apps.
This seemed to help, now downloading apps worked.
Then i switched back to 3G, and downloading apps from the market still works.
So the problem seems to be solved now.
Perhaps it was a temporary general problem of the market, or switching from 3G to wireless (and then switching back) helped.
Solved it!
Solution was as stupid as the problem itself.
Our wifi network got upgraded the last week.
As a side effect, some ports got locked again.
And yep, the market port was one of them.
Tried at a different wifi location and the downloaded worked fine again
This needn't to be the problem. I had the same with Voidu and Virtuous. The solution was either to change language (but worked only for couple of minutes) or uninstall update of Market to 3.1.5 (then you have to delete marketupdater.apk, otherwise it installs the update again).

[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

Nexus 5 turned of while downloading update 5.1

So last night on my nexus 5 ( running lollipop 5.0.1) i finally got the notification saying system update(5.1) available. So i pressed download update and it said "waiting to download update". It kept showing "waiting to download update" for several minutes so i thought something was wrong with my connection. At first i turned of my wifi and then turned it back on. When the issue still did not resolve i switched off my phone.. Now here comes the bad part the phone turned on, showed google and android logo and then showed the message android is upgrading for few seconds. then everything was normal but when i went to system updates i started getting the error - "....process com.google.process.gapps has stopped" .. Whatever i did i kept getting this error. Instead of my play store an app is there with the name com.android.vending.
Also now when i press the system update tab, nothing seems to happen..
I am not a huge expert in these type of things, but what i think is that while showing "waiting to download update" it was already downloading (probably the important google apps or other system apps) and when i restarted my phone it tried to update those apps with the unfinished downloaded app and thus turning my sweet, easy update into a nightmare. All apps like games and other are functioning properly. The google apps are the only ones seem to be the problem and also cannot get into system update.
So can any kind soul help me to resolve this issue? Thanks a lot in advance
