Market Problem

I have been having this issue since oh I say about CM6 Nightlies 8/26-8/27 when the "Market Issue" crept up. And let me say I know that had nothing to do with this ROM per-say. I am using CM6 now on 9-1 nightly...Perhaps someone has\had the same problem.
No matter what I do using AppBrain or just the Market app I keep getting these dam force close on trying to download these 3 updates. 1. Handcent SMS and 2.Droid Battery and 3.Clockwork ROM manager. All of these apps I have removed and re-installed and then tried the market again...Still shows they all 3 need to be updated. Obviously when I am re-installing I am installing the last version I have prior to the updates that both sites say I need. Should I go into manage apps and wack all the updates for all 3 of these apps? Or is there a fix for the market itself? I have removed AppBrain and re-installed but that did not fix the issue either.
Now I have not been wiping anything on these nightlies I might add..And I have never had ANY issues other than the ones mentioned here. I have noticed the GPS issues as a lot of others have. But on 9/1 has ZERO GPS issues and locked in a matter of seconds. Also, I only can get ANY data via WiFi...<---A whole OTHER issue. But I know the fix for that. I just need to have my phone added with my Provider...Which is MetroPCS blah blah. I can get SMS and the Net of course now that there is a nice Proxy Setting which I hope that remains in the final build.
Anywho...Market issues anyone? Is there a way to wack the market.apk and re-install it? I have cleaned cache on just about everything I could think of..Re-set defaults etc on the 3 apps in question. Suggestions?
What I need is
Handcent SMS Version 3.2.9...Again I am NOT able to get to the market and I can't get on WiFi at the moment...
After further investigation ALL I need is Handcent SMS 3.2.9 I have the other versions I have NO idea why it keeps saying that I need to update the other two I have the latest of Gauge Battery Widget and ClockworkROM Manager. Hmmm interesting...

This is a recent and known google problem, not a rom problem. Google's servers have been overloaded, sot his is why the market is not preforming well.

i'm having a similar issue for quite a while now. probably over a month but i've just been dealing with it.
i think it started when i put cy mod 6 on my hero after a complete wipe.
i can not install any apps. from appbrain/market it will go through the dowload process and begin installation. but the installation is always unsuccessful. for almost every app. i've tried restoring from myback up, titanium back up, app saver. nothing works.
i was just about to completely wipe my phone & sd card but thought i'd take a look here first.
any help would be greatly appreciated. =)

Words with Friends force close issue

Anyone else dying to play Words with Friends on you new Inspire but keeps getting the force close everytime you run the app? I tried rebooting and reinstalling this app but to no avail.
Running on stock rom, waiting for my extra microsd card to arrive so I can root and install custom roms.

Same issue here on custom ROM, been happening for a day or so since Words with Friends updated. Extra frustrating is the fact that the app resets itself after FC, forcing me to re-enter account info.

Good to know I'm not the only one. I hope we get an update to fix this issue soon...

Working fine here. I had issues when I did the update without un-installing it first but after I did that everything is good. I'm running CM7 if that matters.

I gave up on words with friends and went back to wordfeud. Hopefully the devs of words with friends will get it straightened out soon.

Aha! I actually tried installing the app again today and it now works. They must have fixed the issue and I'm glad they did.

Words with Friends worked for me on stock ROM since day 1. The first day I rooted and flashed Anrdoid Revolution, I installed Words with Friends and it worked fine. I've seen 1 FC from the app since I've had the phone, but all I had to do was restart the app and it loaded right back to my games

It worked for me for a little while but now it pops up with some wierd web address

Have you tried rebooting and/or installing the app?

If you are using Android Revolution(or some other custom ROMs), the hosts file blocks the ads in the app. Either revert to a non-adblocking hosts file or a different ROM.

they just had an update, uninstall words and redownload. i havnt had a fc since then. good luck

even on the latest version, I can't even play! Just force closes when I log in!

Judging by the stack trace I think something in the logon was breaking it. I saw in the stack trace that the app was trying to parse a null value as an integer, which isn't so cool.
I just set up for a packet capture -- but I'm now able to log in again and the game is working fine. Hopefully they don't break their login protocol again, and ideally they make the app a little more robust if the server sends back unexpected data.

I was also getting tons of FC's on custom roms until i ran a fix permissions in CMR. Now it works perfectly

So what do you guys suggest for those who are using unrooted, stock ROMs? Any suggestions?

I go into the apps settings and clear the cache and force close it.. this usually makes it reload the game data which takes a few min, but it works again for me for a while. I do need to tweak the hosts file blocking ads. It causes huge broken ads that make the game unplayable at times.

Yeah when wwf starts acting up again and comes up with a force close (or any bug at all!) all the time, clear your cache and data and try again. Reboot in between if you have to. If that doesn't work, try uninstalling, rebooting and reinstalling again. Sometimes you just need to reboot to fix the issue is what I found out based on my phone. Hope this helps!

GMail Keeps Force Closing

So yesterday my phone automatically rebooted for some reason and now GMail app keeps force closing. Every time I click on the app, it says, "Unfortunately, GMail has stopped."
I've un-installed the app, rebooted, and re-installed from market. Yet, still same message. I've done a factory wipe and installed a different rom, yet still same force close. I can check my gmail from browser but the app keeps force closing.
I can't figure out how to get this fixed. So, any advice or suggestions?

I have the same problem on HTC One X running Viper rom. It started yesterday and I've restored rom from backup, deleted all account data, deleted and reinstalled gmail and the latest play services apk, I've tried allsorts but still no joy. I got gmail to work briefly earlier after reinstalling everything, it synced all my mails and worked perfectly, then as soon as I closed it and went back to it it crashed again. I've read that it's a problem on googles side, so now I'm just waiting and hoping it'll start working again at some point over the weekend...

I figured it out or at least, it's working now. I just flashed the Paranoid Android GApps instead of Banks GApps.

[Q] Messaging app force closing

Hey all..I have a completely stock and fully updated Droid Maxx...today my messaging app started force closing upon every incoming picture mail or if I try to send one.
Anyone else experience this?
The only fix I came up with is using hangouts.

I had this exact same issue.
Fixed it by wiping the app data/cache. Make sure to delete all your SMS threads as well.
I used the stock messaging app, and was able to backup all my texts with an app. Just had to make sure everything was wiped within the app before restoring.

Hmmm...I did try wiping the data/cache but I'm not sure if I deleted the texts first...I'll give it another try..
Actually, I disabled the stock app and switched to Hangouts in the meantime. It's really not that bad, so if I can't fix the stock app I'll be OK. Just hate having an issue with a stock phone....

Deleting all the existing threads was key for me, just wiping the cache didn't fix the issue.
My guess is some MMS got corrupted and the app was no longer able to handle it.
I didn't try changing my primary app since I like stock and the Chrome plugin.

Facebook and messenger can't connect after root

Not sure what happened but I can't see anything but the news feed on the Facebook app and messenger isn't connecting. Did anyone experience this and have a fix?

mine is rooted and they both work fine. i see no reason why that should matter.

I don't either. I'm not sure why it doesn't work it just stopped after I rooted the device.

You did a fresh install and not just a reinstall from Titanium Backup?

force close and clear data on both

Yes sir I did. Multiple times. I'm not sure what the issue is. Its very strange because everything else works just Facebook and messenger. Instagram links don't open as well. Facebook says "can't connect, tap to retry"

I installed adaway and that might have been the turning point. Not sure.

Add it to MagiskHide.

I did but I'm getting the same issue. Is there something I should do after that? I restarted, cleared cache, data, and force stopped the app.

I would completely uninstall the app, reinstall, add to MagiskHide before you even open the app for the first time after you reinstall it. If that doesn't work, I have no idea. That's super weird that you're having this issue. I've never had this problem before.
