This all started about 4 or 5 days ago. I noticed when trying to add a new contact, the app would just sit there like it was loading. So I close it and open the 'Contacts' to add them and right away i get the error message "Contacts has stopped unexpectedly..." i go to Rom Manager to try to fix the permissions but i get an error message there also and it wont let me fix them. Anyone know what this would be?
I'm rooted, but have the stock rom installed still. I have done nothing special to the phone other than rooting it.

Try backing up your apps and wipe your data.

also check the permission of the 3rd party apps you install.. sometimes it complicate things.. thus wiping your data removes user data from your installed apps...

Exactly what the subject says. I tried clearing all data in the market app but that doesn't seem to be the problem. I'm running stock 2.2.2 with an OC kernel. Any help would be appreciated.

What are the symptoms that you are experiencing when you try to download an app
Sent From My Stock G2x
It says "Your item will be downloaded," after which the download bar appears. It disappears after a second as if the download had never even begun.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
Try deleting dalvik cache, fix permissions. Turn off the phone for few minutes, turn it back on.
Did this started to happen after flashing kernel?
Make sure you are in a good reception area as well.
Sent From My Stock G2x
I think it did happen after kernel flashing. Sounds like a good idea. I'll try that and if it doesn't work I'll try reflashing Google apparently. I've noticed authentication errors. Barring that it's back to stock. Thanks for the advice

Same thing happened to me.. I fixed permission from Rom manager then reboot.
Now its working fine.
Just tried that myself. It seems to be working again

This same exact thing happened to me after changing kernels. I went back to stock and it was still happening. Four hours later everything was fine again. Weird.
Not only do you need to clear market data.. But make sure you clear 'download manager' data too in applications
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
The problem started up again and continued after flashing back to stock. Someone else said that in this thread. I'll try the download manager wipe suggestion too. Thanks for all the input. I'm on a wifi network with a strong signal so it's a stable connection... Aaaaaand... starting download... still starting download... still still starting... At least it's doing something. I'll check back in later. Thanks again!
If I wipe dalvik cache, cache, fix permissions, and reboot after letting the phone sit for 10 minutes I can download four or five apparently after which the problem returns. I've also noticed that Google talk can't seem to log in.

Whenever I try to use any app that requires superuser permissions, I select allow and then superuser force closes. Please let me know what to do? Can someone upload or share a working copy to flash

So far what I've been doing is going into "Manage Applications" in the Settings menu, and uninstalling the most recent updates. I think something in the update is causing it to crash.

go on market and delete the update and everything should be fine
I found that when I set the permission notifications to display in the status bar, rather than an on screen toast, it stopped force closing.

i had this problem too. what i did is go to settings on supersure and stead than having it with that pop up i just changed it to allow always and it works fine
Try flashing the older versions from here
http://goo-inside.me/superuser/
I flashed this one and it worked perfect... it's 2.3.6
http://goo-inside.me/superuser/su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip
Uninstall update and turn off automatic update in the market.
Sent from my brain
Do not use superuser 3.0.5!That is really terrible!
Sent from my greatest Sensation 4G
It's really important to set the updates to "manual" in the market because if not superuser will constantly try to update itself and crash again.
Another working method is to disable the update daemon via autostarts (not sure wheater root is needed).
I was having the exact same problem as well. Uninstalled the update and now it works fine. Cheers.

Are you sure you have perma-root? Without it you won't get Superuser to work..

LG Optimus One - Rooted Stock ROM
Dear all,
About a week ago, my Desire S said a new OTA update was available: Update for the stock "Locations" app. I accepted to download and install update. And download began.
Weird thing is that during installation the progress bar was at 0% for hours and hours before I cancelled.
Ever since, when I go to settings -> about phone -> software updates -> Check for updates, I get the message:
"Your phone is downloading the software updates" and I can only press "OK".
Besides this, the phone has returned to the state, where I cannot hold down the standby buttun to turn off the phone (just like the issue after the OTA upgrade to android 2.3.5 and Sense 3.5). Here it worked to do a factory reset.
But I would really hate to do that again.
Any suggestions or fixes to the problems?
I appreciate the help.
Thank you!
No suggestions to solve the problem?
I would try to reboot my phone to end and restart every process. or maybe your update will work via wifi
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA App
Thanks for your suggestion.
I am on WiFi, and I have tried to completely turning of the phone (by removing battery, as the off button doesnt work cf my first post),
But it still says that the phone is downloading software. I am pretty sure it is not.
have you rooted your phone? You could try to delete or uninstall the locations application (and reinstall of course). Update via market isn't possible right?
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA App
It is not rooted. I cannot uninstall the locations app as it is stock. Maybe factory redet is the only option? Or is there a specific process than can be stopped to prevent it from saying that the phone is downloading updates?
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA App
The only process you could stop would be the update itself, but I'm sure you don't want to
I think there is no process like "searching for updates"
Just backup your data and do this factory reset. Maybe it'll help
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA App
Sigh, hehe... Is it possible to backup all the apps, so I won't have manually install every single one again after reset?

It doesn't say what is backed up etc? Will that automatically install my apps after factory reset?
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA App
For me it does so.. You could search Google for more information on this function
You can backup contacts, apps, saved passwords etc.
Or you can use titanium backup for the same needs

I had this error before but the thing I did to fix it isint working now. I had to clear the proxy IP address before ans that worked but I can't find how to do it since the interface of ics is different so the instructions on how to do it don't work. Pls help. I havent been able to download or update any apps for 2 days now. Usually this problem passes in 24 hours.

How do you go about deleting your account? Do you completely delete the gmail account or just the play application?

By deleting your account from the play store, you have to go to menu-settings-apps-all apps-play store
There just clear the data and reboot the phone. When the phone comes back up, sign into your account again.
On a separate note, please take a look at "your devices" in the google play and music. If you have too many devices in each app, the app will prevent any syncing and hang. This happens when you flash multiple roms and the build.props make the phone different in some way, and in turn, make you have different devices listed in your settings. Just a fyi.
Okay that worked I believe. Thanks so much.
if rooted & getting (491) error nothing will install
Press vol(down)+Pwr+home buttons same time time and rooted menu 1st option will be reboot. This will fix error (491) and now you will be able to install without ERROR 491. Worked for me Samsung Galaxy S3.

Hi, does not work, because the problem is repeated after a few days. And I used this procedure for a while. I mention I have Note 2 (rooted) and the problem persists. And believe me it's annoying to delete your account every time the error occurred, then restart the phone, to sync your account again and so on. There must be another solution that will not put you to restart the phone every time.
error 491 cant download
I just had this issue. What i did to correct it was go into titanium backup found my original download app and restored it from a previous backup. Work perfect and no more error 491 when trying to download.
no luck
I've taken each step listed in this thread to no avail.. (I'm on a galaxy s3 rooted) at a loss still having this error code :crying:
fixed?

Did you find any solution for this? Thanks for your answer!
Is anyone else having issues getting apps to download? It started for me after flashing back to stock so I could check out the toggles mod. Since I froze updater.apk in order to stop the OTA update notification, I assumed that was the cause. Now, I'm running 77.8.10 with the stock kernel and I still have the problem. Apps look like they are going to update or download but just hang there and I eventually get error 495. The only thing that works for me is wiping the cache/dalvik cache--within a few days, the problem comes back.
I've had problems with the play store too, but I thought it was more of a connection issue. It'd start to go through the process of dl'ing but would hang as soon as I click accept. It adds the app to the installed list and show that its queued, but would never download. I'd have to cycle my wifi to get it to go again.
That's the only problem I've had with the play store.
