cannot install using Fast Web Installer

I am absolutely stumped!
I restored my apps from Titanium, inc. AppBrain. This also restored my AppBrain data which was a bummer as Appbrain recognised it as the same phone, regardless of having upgraded to 2.1 forcing a clean install.
I then installed Fast Web Installer and it worked great, but I noticed it was still recognising as having had installed apps that I hadn't installed, and it thought my phone was 1.6 so kept getting annoying message on website. I uninstalled and reinstalled App Brain and it worked fine, but suddenly Fast Web Installer doesnt work. I get:
"There was an error sending the app to the phone. Please make sure you enabled it with the 'fast web installer' app and then please try again."
I have done everything I can think of, uninstalled both then reinstalled them, launched the FWI app multiple times, synced appbrain multiple times, all the above in multiple sequences, until I decided to delete my account, uninstall app brain, uninstall FWI, recreate my account, reinstall app brain, sync appbrain, install FWI, launched FWI, Synced App Brain, then crossed my fingers, but still got the same problem.
It's painfully annoying as its such an awesome thing
Has anyone else come across this error, and does anyone know a sollution? Im at pulling my hair out here

I have the same problem , its was working before but cant work these days

well, in the process of trying to fix this I accidently got my phone into a power cycle cycle, so gave it a clean install. It works now :S
but the facebook widget is now giving me grief. *When will it all enndddd??*

It's a bug from fast web installer. I emailed appbrain and now it's work. Should work for you too I guess.

Got the same email here.

Ah yes, I see that the market is now version 2.12 instead of the 2.09 in which firmware 2.1 gave us. That is quite unfortunate as that was a really useful tool

Its a problem on googles side. A lot of people on different roms are having an issue
Posted from my Captivate running Perception build 3 with SetiroN's SuperOptimized kernel

I was running on Cog 2.3b2 and never had this problem.
For some reason it started working again, let's hope it's stays that way.

I've tried 3 different roms thinking it was the rom

Go into settings, applications, manage applications, go to market and uninstall updates. That should fix the problem.

I'll give this a shot tomorrow morning and post results. I did "update all" to a bunch of apps and it effectively uninstalled them. Now I gotta figure out which ones they were. Kinda had this problem on Cog 2.4.1, but really bad on 2.3b6. Makes sense if it is an app issue.

It's definitely a server-side outage apparently: http://www.androidcentral.com/late-night-market-woes-youre-not-alone

ok... it didn't stayed working... it keeps coming and going... sometimes they download and sometime they just crash...
What's the downside of uninstalling the Market Updates?

because u are using the same android id a as everyone else with that rom. Change your android id back to your original id. Its been posted before, just research forums on how to find chane and restore android id

Reverting the Market updates worked for me. I got 4 or 5 FCs in a row without it actually updating anything (just uninstalling it) and when I removed the Market updates it worked perfectly the first time.

Gtalk
Just log into Gtalk and it should work. YOu gotta be logged into Gtalk for it to work. This isn't like 100% true, sometimes it may be logged in but the app isn't running or whatever.
BUT, if the market doesnt download apps, log into Gtalk, and then it should work

Stop the download and then re -start it. Works for me

[Q] Gmail.apk.... havin a hella of a time

My problem is small but significant. a ways back i unistalled the gmail app while trying to uninstall a gmail popup app. But since then i have restored using odin to origional eclair, and everytime i use titanium to restore all my apps, gmail is gone. Does ANYONE know of an app, or better yet where i can get that same gmail app that i loved so much. Running 2.1... and patiently waiting

Can't you just download gmail from the market?

+1 on this.

If that were the case i would be grateful for the ease of that solution. But assuming we're talking about the android market, no, and just to make sure i searched gmail 2 seconds ago and it didn't show up. Most system apps aren't on the market.

Yes they are. Gmail, Youtube, Google Maps, etc. They're all on the market. I deleted Google Search once and downloaded it straight from the market.

Ok i'll give you that there are a few, but allshare, accounts and sync, alarms and clocks... etc.. the majority of these don't show up on the market. And If you are running a 2.2 custom rom that may be why it shows for you and not me. Just to prove i'm not making this up check the three attached screen shots. First is me searching gmail, and the next 3 are the results.... super lame

but on the upside if i'm ever i need of a guide to the korean subway system... i'll search "gmail" again

Here's your guide to the korean subway system...

HA ha, much appreciated... and it is even the same package name as the one i used to have, but when i try and istal it with app installer i get the dreaded "there is a problem parsing the package". Any more suggestions?

I found it on the market....Market>Apps>All Apps>Top Free......should be the first one

Figure out why tb is messing it up, restore one app at a time and check if gmail is working.

Its not tb its my fault and i admit it, at the beginning of my vibrant usage i installed tb to clean up bloatware, and so before i even made a backup i deleted gmail. And so i have nothing to restore to and aside from odinn back to stock, it won't let me reinstall.

[Q] Purchased apps now gone after upgrade to cm9

I just flashed my ROM to cm9 from cm7 and installed the google apps package.
When I log in open Android Play (same account), and go my My Apps, all my previously downloaded apps and purchases are there still there, but none of them say 'PURCHASED'. They now list the purchase price of the app. Essentially, it's not recognizing I purchased any of my apps.
Can anyone tell me why this is happening?
EDIT: If I go on my computer and visit https://play.google.com/store, My purchased library still exists and I am able to install it via send to phone.
So really, it's a matter of inconvenience.

I read an Engadget article saying this is happening to a ton of people and Google is aware and working to rectify it.

Try going to manage apps and deleting app data for play store. That has worked for me in the past.

Yes Google is aware of this and best thing to do log out your gmail account clear data then reopen/sign back in. But if that doesn't help you'll have wait till Google updates

It seems to have fixed itself. Maybe there was just some server delay recognizing my phone.

[Q] Google Drive refuses to open any document?

I've seen this exact problem no where else on the internet. I'm flabbergasted.
Google drive refuses to open any document at all on my sidekick, and no one else on the internet has gotten this error message.
"Google Documents Error
Google documents has encountered an error. Please try reloading the document."
I'm using Ricandroid's NexusJB. I would post in his thread but I can't post in development yet. Its a great build otherwise and I'd like to avoid having to reinstall from scratch. Anyone else have this issue?

I do not have this problem. Do you have your Google account set up to sync in Settings>Accounts and Sync?

Yep, it is. Gmail and talk and contacts all work. I'm thinking its some kind of incapability with memory resources maybe? Its a blank denial on all doc types. I wish I were better at coding and linux to figure this out, but I'm too much of a newbie atm.

Might be a server problem; have you tried again? Also see this page for some possible fixes: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!msg/drive/ifONR5aCqSc/Sg0hZrbVQXcJ

Yeah I have, multiple times. I thought it may be droidwall but like the poster in your link says, it does load a docs list and allows me to make a doc offline. I didn't find this after many searches.. thanks for that.
Sent from my SGH-T839 using xda app-developers app

Yeeeah so it was droidwall. I found out after uninstalling it. I guess it was lying when it said it was allowing google drive. I think google drive relies upon other internet processes to function besides itself.
Thanks for your input!
Edit: Nope!
I thought it was droidwall, but I had uninstalled google drive at the same time. It seems its the new update that breaks drive functionality.
It seems the solution is to block updates. Google drive conveniently offers that functionality in its settings.
Sent from my SGH-T839 using xda app-developers app

Google Drive partially works right now when updated but the reason you can't open your documents may be that one of libs is missing in your /system/lib directory. They could have added more in the update that are otherwise seperated from the old version on your system memory.
Just a though I have had the problem once before, but I can't remember exactly how I fixed it.
Sent from my SGH-T839 using xda app-developers app

The latest version of Drive works fine for me. I did not have it installed at all, so I had a fresh install (not an update). Maybe try removing it completely (not just the updates) and reinstall. Is your Drive installed as a system app or user app? If it's a system app, you'll need to use something like Titanium Backup to remove it.

This would make sense. It is an uninstall able system app, so maybe the updates libraries are broken by that.
I'm reluctant to try uninstallong with titanium as its working now. Ehh I'll probably do it in a bit and let you guys know.
Would you know how to find out which libraries Drive uses, zydrate?
Edit: Aaand its broke again and I forgot to make a backup... whoops.

I think google drive app that comes with ricandroid's nexus JB is the only one that will really work. Does anyone know if he packagaes google apps with it? If I could find the right package for the sidekick I could avoid a rom reinstall maybe.
I'm surprised there are barely any other sidekick users with this problem!! I'll post later to let you guys know if that holds true, and if a titanium backup would restore an uninstalled google drive's functionality.

It doesn't make sense to me that only the Drive app that ricandroid bundled with his nexusJB ROM would work. If that were the case, then anytime the app updated from the Play Store, it would break, and as you said, no one else seems to have a problem with it. I think the problem is on your device--maybe a dependency has gotten corrupted or gone missing. But you could always send ricandroid a private message and ask him what version he used, if he modified it, etc. You said it's working right now, so why not make a backup of it in case it starts acting up again?

I though it was working.... but it wassnt.
I finally reinstalled the JB build, which for some reason kind of made it faster?? Maybe a second wipe freshened it up.
Google drive was working initially, I tried updating it, it broke it again, and a titanium backup restored functionality successfully. So I still don't know what's wrong. Maybe a slightly corrupted ROM?
Ill try messaging ricandroid one of these days.

I don't know why the update keeps breaking Drive. I posted a query on the nexusJB thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2162745 for you. We'll see what responses we get.

Wow, thanks man!!! Almost up to 10 posts though! Haha.
Sent from my SGH-T839 using xda app-developers app

The only response so far is that someone saw on g+ that several people still running 2.x are having an issue with google drive. Of course, everyone using the SK4G is still on 2.2. May just be a random issue.

I got another response that someone is using ES File Explorer File Manager to access Google Drive. I didn't know you could do that, but apparently you can access a lot of cloud services using that app (which is a good one, and free). Just search for it in the Play Store.

I was watching the thread. Just posted in there as well now that I'm up to 10 posts. Thanks for your help with this, but I think I'll just stick to having updates disabled. Whatever google drive is being updated with, its nothing I can see as it has perfect functionality.
