[Q] Android market issue - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi everyone,
I installed tiamat 2.2.1 some days ago & I'm happy with everything.
on the first boot everything was going good & I successfully restored all my apps from my backup with my account.
after that whenever I try to download or update anything from market it doesn't work & it keeps me waiting in the first step "starting download".
I tried everything anyone could ever imagine to get it work, but still nothing.
can anyone help me with fixing the problem?
I really appreciate if someone can help me with it

I hate this and have the same problem, it works eventually if I keep trying, but it is very annoying.

What version of market do you have? The newest version seems to work much better.

good to ask
I tried both 3.1.6 & the older version, to try to download, but at all the time & conditions I'm getting the same reaction.
I'm guessing something else from the kernel is causing it, but since I'm not a pro in it, I can't say anything.
(the only time I can download without any issue is the first boot after a factory reset)
P.S I've been in touch with android market team for one week everyday. & still no one knows what exactly is causing it. so I though I post the issue in here, maybe we can find the problem that is causing this issue.

I tried the new market, hated it and reverted back...I can eventually get my downloads to work but only by repeatedly attempting to download them

if you face this problem and it keeps saying starting download and stuck there just hit my apps and scroll all the way down you will find that app waiting there at the end, just touch it and hit install and it will display the accept or cancel window just accept and it will star right away, i know it really annoys me too

I don't think this is at all related to Tiamat. I have a stock Evo that has the same issue. Just yesterday I had 4 or 5 apps stuck in the "downloading" state. I had good signal strength on 4G the entire time and verified that I could surf, but still they sat there. I went through and cancelled each download and then hit each app separately to update and they all worked.

I see
so if the problem is not only for xoom, then maybe we can say market team couldn't do its best.
does anyone know any solution than keep trying to download?? cause right now even that, doesn't work for me anymore...
ow & also, do you guys know if we can open a thread somewhere officially, so market team can find out the source of problem?

[Q] Titanium Backup Help

Please forgive me if xda is not the correct place to post this question, but I am desperately trying to figure out an issue I am having with Ti Backup Pro. I have also posted this on android forums but not having much luck getting a response there...
Anyways, here is my problem.
I've had the Mesmerize for about two weeks now and gotten to the point where I need to do backups...I have rooted the phone and installed TiBU PRO but am now running into issues.
I can backup/restore my user apps without a problem but anytime I try to backup system data the app just hangs...doesnt force close, or progress.
Has anyone else seen this or know of a fix?
Here is what I have done so far.
Uninstalled/Reinstalled TiBU
Installed BusyBox from within app
Changed App Processing Mode to AUTO Indirect.
I appreciate any help!
Not sure how to fix but it's usually not a good idea to restore system data anyway.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
I've seen a lot of people say the same thing...but the greater problem for me is that I can't run the user app and system data batch job so I cant backup things like my SMS without manually deselecting the "red" text items..I think that makes automated backups nearly impossible especially as I add new apps/data.
Am I wrong?
diff busybox
I,m not sure if this will help but u might try going to the fasinate dev forum and getting adrynalines busybox 1.19 i think that or 1.18 is in most of the roms that r being released. ive never had the same problem so im not 100% this will do anything. also ur sig says stock rom so u might ask one of the devs if that rom isnt deoxed then i dont think it will let you do anything with the system apps. if im wrong somebody plz correct me and like i say u should pm one of the guys that r listed as ops on the Rom releases.
i hope this helps and good luck
What ROM are you running? I've had this problem with Heinz 57. It actually does back up and restore, although it doesn't "end" the action in the app and it looks like its still going even though its done.
titanium stalls
Finally! Someone with the same problem I've been having.
I run CM7.
I started having this issue with 7.0.2-Supersonic (I have an HTC EVO).
I started installing the CM7 nightly updates thinking that maybe it is the ROM and that it would get corrected.
But, no luck. The issue only is happening in Titanium when I try to restore a single app or a batch of apps.
I have even tried deleting all backups, wiping the phone, creating new backups, verifying backups... and still get the issue where it just hangs...
Have any of you tried contacting the developer of the app?
I am having the same issue with my Mesmerize. Titanium backup was working fine until the program had an update a couple of weeks ago. I notified the vendor and they had me try a couple of things but it didn't fix it. I sent them a logcat file about a week ago but I haven't heard back from them since.

duh. damn, i feel like an idiot. SO, turns out TB has a nice lil wiki. ... and in reading it, they suggest hitting the "problems?" button in TB.
Well, I updated my superuser and busybox and BOOM! - TB with now working just the way it should.
So, hit the "problems?" button and follow the guides!
I am running the Stock ROM right now. Still researching which custom ROM to use...
I have contacted the dev but not heard anything back yet, and I did try the problems button but that didn't help either.
I got so frustrated that I did a complete wipe of the phone and reinstalled TiBU but still haven't had any luck...
Well at least I can get some use out of my $$ with the app freeze functionality.
Hi everyone,
Very sorry for the delay. Now we'll start to work on this issue. We're in touch with one user who's having this problem already, but in case one of you wants to help or try a test version, please e-mail us directly at: titanium.android <<at>> gmail.com
Thanks a lot ! And don't worry, this annoying bug will be squashed
Edit: I forgot to mention that (I think) you can temporarily workaround the issue by un-checking the "System apps (apk)" checkbox in the Titanium Backup preferences. Let us know whether it helps...
Thanks! I look forward to seeing the fix.
Just as an FYI... I did try to uncheck the System App.apk and rerun a backup, unfortunately I got the same results

Thank you !
Whoo Hoo!!
Installed the test version and was able to perform a full backup. I was also able to do a restore and verify the backup.
Thanks so much!!!
That is awesome! Which Samsung model do you have?
I have the Samsung Mesmerize from US Cellular running Stock Froyo.
Let me know if you need more information.
Thanks again! I can't say I expected such a quick response...certainly impressed me and I will be posting a review on the marketplace!!

Phone rebooting when i choose to Shutdown

this has been going on for a few months now, when i try to shut the phone down completely it just reboots itself. the only way to get it to turn completely off is by pulling the battery and leaving it out. as soon as i put the battery back in the phone it autoboots up. at first i thought this was a CM7 issue but in the past 2 days ive tested leedroids rom, honeysenceHD, and a few others and the phone still acts the same. its never been an issue but i would love to be able to turn the phone completely off if i ever needed to. someone suggested that its possible my bootloader is corrupted. is there any way to fix this issue?
This is a problem with the Advanced Power Manger, search for the fix.
Sent from my Inspire 4G
ok well can someone point me in the direction to fix this problem.....search finds NOTHING for a fix
what apps do you have installed can you list them? They can sometimes cause problems...
Make sure "Fast boot" is UNchecked under Settings, Power.
i dont see a POWER sub menu in settings nor can i find Fast Boot.
apps are as follows
everything that comes stock with CM7
Battery Calibrator
Beautiful Widgets
COveroid
Dev Tools
DSPManager
FasterFix
Linpack
Quickboot- just to see if it would turn the phone off and it doesnt
setCPU but not using it currently
Spare Parts
thats about it a few of those apps i think are part of CM7 but im not sure
Look for fastboot in settings, applications.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
theres nothing in applications that allows me to turn on or off FASTBOOT
ok so i was told theres no FASTBOOT option in CM7 so anyone else out there have any clue as to why my phone will not turn off and stay turned off when i power it down?

Well at this point, if you think that continuing to try other roms other than what you've already flashed won't help, you might just try flashing a completely stock image, with the stock hboot/recovery, etc., and see if indeed something went haywire with your bootloader, as you mentioned someone had suggested to you.
Try the RUU in the stickied thread, for example. The recent OTA ROM by Attn1 has the hboot removed from it so I don't think that would be a good choice for this attempt, because you want to get the stock bootloader back.
Now, I can't speak to the validity of that suggestion about the possible corrupt bootloader... I don't know either way whether or not that could be the cause, but if you wanted to at least try it, then my suggestion above would be the way to do it, I would think.
There would be no reason for it to continue to behave like this on a completely stock ROM, other than there being something defective with the phone itself.
It's a clockworkmod issue with daylight savings time. Change your date from automatic to a date before the time change (I just go to Jan) and your phone will shut off and stay off.
"Change your date from automatic to a date before the time change (I just go to Jan) and your phone will shut off and stay off. "
i dont really understand what you mean by change it to a date/time before the time change. i turned off the auto time but dont see where your talking about with setting the date change
I wasn't going to try to help cause I didn't like yer tone. You could say please and thank you for peeps time..

Not sure if anyone has run into this yet, if so please share the fix. When selecting "power off" my Inspire 4G just reboots. I can no longer turn off my device. Thanks in advance for the help.

oh and there was no tone, but whatever mr internet coolguy THUMBSUP to you. i wouldnt have made this thread if i didnt already search to see if anyone else has had this problem, and it seems noone else has. when the phone was flashed back to stock the problem stopped and as soon as i re-rooted it the problem started again

I just linked a guy with the same issue .. Yes its on another rom, but its the same issue....
Download the app....does it work? Problem solved if it does? Or don't.. i could not care less, my phone works normally......
it was a rom issue but guess u didnt read the thread to see that, that app is just another way to reboot your phone, i appreciate the effort but ive tried it many times and it boots/reboots the phone in the same manor the phone boots itself

so yeah you had a good point scott. i went ahead and got the phone all back to stock and problem solved, but its not what i want sadly. so i re-rooted the phone and immediately after the re-root i went to turn it off and there it goes again turning itself back on =(

So you have re-flashed to stock and the issue went away.
What rom are you flashing after root?
Did you check the MD5sum of the rom?
Have you tried a second rom?
Try just flashing to a stock rom like TCP;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=982963
Edit, just read yer above post... None this is going to help. Lol
i havent tried flashing anything, i flashed it back to stock, rebooted worked fine. So i decided to just reroot it. its stil STOCK atm just rooted. its obvious that its a software issue id just love to know what and how to fix it.
When you're flashing to a new rom are you clearing all of your data every time? If not you might want to give it a shot when you try to flash to another rom.

Well, I'm dumb

I just got my Xoom back from the 4G upgrade yesterday. I decided I would take a shot at rooting and overclocking it for the first time since now I didn't have to worry whether Motorola would care about the voided warranty.
So, I rooted using the universal root kit and everything was working swell. Well, except one problem - I couldn't download anything from the market. Instead of looking more into it, and see if there was a way to fix it, I just decided to unroot.
Surprise, surprise - I went all the way back down to 3.01 without knowing the consequences. Not only did I lose my 4G connectivity, but also 3G. Now, it shows me having full bars, but it's just not connecting. My Wi-Fi works fine.
So, now I've been hunting and trying frantically to get back up to 3.2.2 and get my internet back. I've tried using the stock/rooted version that Solarnz provided, but alas, I still have no connectivity.
I've tried looking around on the forum, and I've tried a couple of methods that still didn't help. Has anyone heard of a sure fire way to correct this problem yet? I think I'm practically screwed, since my 3G won't even work when I'm down on 3.01, so I won't be able to get an upgrade to 3.2.2 later on (if the stock image is released).
Might want to look around some more:

Well, I tried some of those methods already. I just tried manually updating to HLK75D this morning and I still don't have either 3G or 4G connectivity.
My kernel version still doesn't have the "ltedc" part that it had before I went through all this mess. Every time I go into the mobile network settings, I still don't have the LTE option and "Activate Device" is always available, even after I activate over Wi-Fi.
Ok try this. Its working with any android device. But I never try on honeycomb.

Well, I'm not entirely sure how that would help with my lack of 3G/4G connectivity. If I would have known about that method to fix the market problem prior to flashing back down to 3.01 from 3.2.2, that could have saved me a lot of trouble.

[Q] gaaps dont work for 4.1.1 CM10 ROM

I flashed the CM10 ROM which by the way is awesome. I flashed gaaps for jb provided in the same thread. And after i rebooted my Phone I got notification that Android is upgrading installing google apps. But Unfortunately I cant find any of the Google Application Installed and once i was able to get PlayStore but even that did open up. Any Help Here is greatly appreciated. There might be a simple solution to this forgive me if its already discussed but i couldnt find a solution to this

Hey. First, don't do what I did. I though I may have needed to flash the newest version of CWM to my Optimus T. Don't do it. It was soft bricked, and it was a pain to fix. Second; try updating your SU binary, and downloading the latest SuperUser apk from the browser. I personally haven't tried it (still recovering from brick), but it's said that it is a viable solution. If that doesn't work, your best bet is to download any version of Blackmarket Alpha, open it, and let it update itself. It pretty much has all of the same apps as the Play Store, minus the sleek UI and better sorting we both miss from the store.
Footnote: Gapps may have not flashed the applications themselves, but go to System > Accounts and check to see if Google is an option. That tells you it's atleast half way working. If you can, download the Play Store .apk, and repeat the second thing I told you above.
Best of luck,
Rob

Hello, i also have an LG Optimus One P500 using the same ROM version and gapps don't install either. The browser doesn't work (it starts and right after it closes, if i push the off button to shutdown the screen and then i reopen it, it does not lock. Anyway, this problem appears only with build 5 version. I hope someone/somebody will fix it, till then i'll stick with build 4. Thank you for your time.

Did you use the smaller version of gapps or the Generic one? One of the problems with 4.x is that it's so big there isn't room for all the Google apps. If you used the 88MB version then try the gapps-jb-light-20120804-signed.zip version (55MB) and see if that one works. I saw several Optimus V folks with the same issue and using a chopped down version worked for them. The problem is that there isn't enough internal storage for both the ROM and the full gapps package.

Echoe Rom Calling Issue

Hello all. Since this is a new account I guess I cannot post under the development page. So my question is this (sorry if this has been asked before I search as much as I could). I installed this Echoe Rom about four days ago and works great but when someone tries to call me I recieve nothing, sometimes a Voice-mail but doesn't ring or get a notification. Rebooted and no go. I thought it was an issue with the cache/Davilk so I wiped and rebooted but still nothing. So I researched and some android users (pm another site) said you have to switch between Auto/LTE/4g and 3g/2g and back again....finally worked. But every time it reboots I have to do this and it's rather annoying because I get a random reboot everyday. If anyone knows a work around for this would greatly appreciate it because after a day of trying to fix it I'm stumped lol. Thx

I has this issue ... what fixed it for me was just making a backup with TitaniumBackup and doing a clean install of stock firmware, re-rooting and and flashing the rom and then wiping data in the Aroma installer... doing this gave me zero issues .

Do you have Lspeed installed by any chance? If so do you have improve call quality enabled? Disabling this fixed the issue for me so anyone who has this problem and enabled it, disable it and see if it fixes the problem.
