[Q] Can't download from the android market!

It's been about 5 days now that i can't download anything from the market, all of them hang on downloading and after a while says "download unsucessfull"
i've tried canceling and restarting the download, clearing the cache and data for the market, restarting the phone. Nothing helped.
i'm with cyanogen mod 6.1 and Nexus One

You could download apps without issues before? Well, make sure the memory of your tablet pc is enough for the downloaded apps. Actually I think you should always download and install apps on the memory card instead of the tablet itself.

Does it actually download a certain amount or does it not even get round to downloading? Have you got enough memory free for the apps you're trying to download?

Doesn't even start. I've got plenty of space

Try wiping dalvik cache and fixing app permissions.

what's that?

reboot into recovery mode

Also go into Settings-->Applications-->Market, and clear data and/or cache. Might clear things up for ya.

can you update that as well?
how if yes

Honestly, if you are on a Nexus one, switch over to CM7. They have a stable that was released in May and it works very well.
I have a Nexus One and love the new CM7.

Yes it would be nice to do that, the only thing that stops me is that he recommends to NOT use titanium backup after, cause it my mess it up.
So i'll have to spend half day with the phone :>
That's why i was looking for at least temporal fix of the market

The CM7 rom that I use (GSB3.5 on a Droid Eris) also recommends not using Titanium Backup, so I use MyBackup Root. I've switched back and forth from numerous other Sense, CM7, and AOSP roms and have never had a problem restoring apps and data. So if that's your only issue switching over to CM7, you might try that. Of course, you wanna do a NAND backup first so you can always have a backup.
As for your Market problem, I've had the same thing happen, and most of the time I just keep trying to download an app until it works. Though that's tedious and doesn't fix the issue. If clearing Market data doesn't work, then rebooting into your recovery and fixing permissions and clearing the Davlik cache has typically worked for me.
Good luck, and let us know what works.

flash it again or try to insert a gmail first and market will be in menu then

Try going into Settings/Applications/Manage Apps, then Clear all the apps Data and Cache that have anything to do with Google!
Especially look for Market, Download, Checkin Services, and whatever else, then Reboot... If that Still Doesnt work Reflash the Rom or Restore a Nandroid Backup!
Good Luck!

[Q] android.process.acore force close?

hello all,
did a search through this forum didn't see any posts regarding the subject. I was running GummyCharged FE 1.9 and was getting process.acore force close messages more often than I cared for. did not have that issue with GummyCharged FE 1.8.x releases. I think it may have something to do with my contacts though not sure. can anybody shed some light on this?

U may have to reflash. Its happened to me on numerous roms, and a reflash usually fixes the issue. I know its something u might not wanna do, but I would just to get rid of the issue.

Agreed, at least that was the fix for the fassy. Havent had it yet on the Charge

Yea, its the only way really. I tried fixing permissions, that didnt work. A full wipe worked. Also, if u install a theme over another theme without wiping cache and dalvik cache, u will get TONS of fc's. Happened to me. But it was an experiment lol.

What if I've done multiple reflashes and wiped data, cache, and dalvik before flashing? Any other ideas?
Thanks.

Flashed using CWM or using Odin?

1st an FYI - If you run the fix_permission from CWMR, you need to check the log afterward. It has been broke (wrong path...cannot find packages.xml ) until the 08/07 version (which was only released as part of a few kernel packages). Even then, it seems people were getting mixed results (I haven't tried the newly released version yet).
I don't know if the script will help you though. If I remember correctly (I came from the Defy world), it had something to do with bad application cache (different from system cache and dalvik-cache). First question is, when you did a wipe/reinstall, did you restore any application's settings (e.g. My Backup, the Verizon's Backup Sync, Titanium Backup, Android Restore, etc.)? It would also help explain why a wipe/reinstall wouldn't help.
Also, purely a side note...if you wipe /data, then /data/dalvik-cache (along with everything else in /data) is gone too. Wiping both doesn't do anything (or if it does...then you have an even bigger problem in the /data didn't get wiped properly and should really look into that).

Got to agree with this. Most likely a data restore problem through titanium backup or a program similar. If not, then many people would have the same problem, not just you.
Let us know your restore process... like what do you go through when you redo your phone.

What can I do?
I've performed numerous wipe/reflash of system/device/cache/dalvik cache, and I still receive this error....
It's driving me mad... anything I can do to rid myself of this blasted error once and for all?
It's followed me through Gummy Charged 1.0, 1.5 and now 2.0.

So I've turned off contact syncing with all my accounts and this seems to have fixed the issue. Anyone know if I can permamently fix this? I'd really like to have contact syncing.

That error is usually from bad system data. Wipe data/ factory reset. Don't restore system data.
Backup your texts if they are important to you with SMS backup

I have completely wiped several times and I still get the error. Cache, Data System Wipe, Dalvik Cache, and voltage settings. I only get the error when syncing contacts.
I do full wipe each time a new version of Gummy is released. I also no longer restore Data from apparel using a tool like Titanium nor Mybackup. This has happened on a number of ROMs

The force closes may be a precursor of worse things to come. That has been the case with me. I usually go all the way back to bone stock when I have persistent force closen rebooting, or freezing issues. My last crash in Gummy 2 FE was enough. I ended up soft bricking to the point that it would not even power up. I was fortunate that I was able to get into download mode and go to stock (after a couple of attempts)
Have you tried going back to stock yet?

No not yet, Im hoping to avoid that. My phone runs perfectly with contact syncing off.
For the time being I just download my google contacts into a csv and import that file manually.

I know I'm a year and a half late to the game here, but I was having this problem on my G Tablet with TNT Lite, and after doing a bunch of hunting, I found a fix that worked that (theoretically) should work with other devices. The first part is really easy, but might not to the trick. The second part isn't much tougher, and put everything back as good as new with no recurrences.
This issue is linked to your contacts. If you go into Settings>Applications>System Applications>Contacts Sync Adapter and press Clear Data, this error usually goes away. If this doesn't work, try clearing the data on Settings>Applications>System Applications>Contacts or Settings>Applications>System Applications>Contacts Storage.
Still no luck?
Open Root Explorer. Go to the following folder: /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases/
*Note* this is not the data folder in sdcard, but the data folder in root (/).
See if there is a “.db-journal” file in the folder. If there is, just delete the databases folder in /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts and reboot.
The contacts database will be rebuilt and re-synced, and the error message will stop popping up.

This solution worked for me TWICE with two different ROMS so I suggest you try it out:
Go to Settings –> Applications –> Manage Applications –> All (button on the top that lets you see all applications) –> scroll down to “Contacts Storage” –> Click on “Clear Data”.
Voila, problem solved I hope this still helps people since I dont think the owner of the thread has this problem still.

[Q] Insufficient Storage, but 14.7GB free

I just installed ExynosAbuse APK v1.40 and i now have root so i could regain my copy/paste function back. (I delete everything in data>clipboard)
However now when i go to install any app i get the error, insufficient storage. As the title says I have ~15gb free (says the settings>storage). Even when uninstalling an app I cannot re install it as it says i have insufficient space. For example, i uninstalled angry birds SW (which was 60mb) and i cannot reinstall it, or any other apps.
Oh, and i uninstalled the Exynosabuse (but left root enabled) and now i cannot reinstall it to disable root. I also tried uninstalling the google play updates, and nothing changed. Installing apps with either google play or ES file manager gives the same result (insufficient storage space)
Thanks for the help.
UPDATE:
I found the problem, and solution in post 20

I had the same problem with an app i tried installing once, but it only happened with that particular app. Maybe try wiping cache and dalvik cache.

If you are getting it for a particular app then try searching for the it using its name it must have left some file over during your previous installion delete all files with the app name and try installing it should install
Try uninstalling the update of play store by going into settings applications
The first one should do the trick

All of the apps in the play store that i tired (ones that haven't been installed before) gave the same error, not just ones previously installed. I also deleted some bloatware updates and tried to reinstall their updates afterwards. The problem persists.
I did uninstall the playstore updates and clearing the cache. Nothing changed.
I've restored to factory and its working again. Crappy solution though..
thanks for the help

I solved this problem with lucky patcher. Run it when you have this problem and it will remove the unused odex file. Then install normally and you shouldn't have the error. I found this happens to me when uninstalling modified apks and trying to install the official app after.

I did have lucky patcher installed when i had this problem. When opening the program it did remove some odex files but the problem was still there. Is there an option to force it to check for odex files?

You could check your data/apps folder and check if there's an apk for the file there. If it is delete and try to reinstall

Well it's happening again.
How do I get into recovery mode to delete dalvik cache? Is that where you hold down power and the volume button, cause I don't see anywhere to delete the cache when im in there. It's just a screen thqts says downloading.
I cleard the dalvik cache In link2sd but it says it's empty. Also cleared app cache with link2sd.
I did notice that the system file space is at 17% (243mb left) which is still large enough to install the apps I'm trying. I have 25gb free out of 32gb.
This problem is not limited to one app. It also happens with apps that never been installed on this tablet.
Thanks for the help.

Did you try what I mentioned

Power+Volume Up until you see the GTN8000 or whatever model you have screen then leave power button while keep pressing the volume up button until you get into recovery

Dude i suggested going into recovery and wiping cache and dalvik cache a while ago but got no response. You didnt ask how if you didnt know and you obviously didn't search for it. Not trying to be rude here but it just is a little irritating when you try to help and you get ignored. Volume up and power till you see the boot screen then let go. And youll see wipe cache, do it. Then scroll to advanced and then to wipe dalvik cache, do it. Then go back to the firdt sceen and select reboot.
Also gmfeny had a suggestion did you try that?

The first time you mentioned it i had already did a factory reset and my GN was working for the moment. When the problem came back i said i tried it in link 2 sd and i did boot to what it thought was recovery mode (i did google it but i must have miss read. I was holding power and volume down to get into recovery screen) and didnt see anywhere to delete dalvik cache. I should have stated clearly that i needed help on getting to the right place.
I will try that next.
gmfeny, I have looked in data>apps and nothing about the apps im trying to install is there. Also this problem isnt limited to apps that i've previously installed. So I wouldnt expect anything to be in there on those apps. However there is a folder im not sure about. its not very big (256KB) and its names mcRegistry.
I'm not sure if its a big deal, and further since no one seemed to have commented on it. Is there a problem with my system file space as mentioned above? (17% left, 250MB)
thanks
I have the GTN80013 (32gb no GSM/cdma)
Im in recovery mode now and i selected wipe cache partition. I dont see anywhere that says advanced. The only options i have are; reboot, apply update from external storage, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, apply update from cache.
still cannot install some apks. I tried to install appinstaller (which i've never installed/tried to install from the play store) and it failed. Also my game emulators failed to install with ES file explorer.

I was able to clear the dalvik cache by gong to data/dalvik-cache And deleting everything. after restarting it waa rebuilt. still can't install apps.
Maybe it's not the same as doing it in recovery, but that's not an option in my recovery mode from what I can see.
Thank for the help

I finally solved my problem.
I had installed Link2SD and a setting in that app was causing the problem.
The Fix:
Open up the menu (context menu) > settings
Click on install location and change it from External to Automatic.
I can install app now.
The only strange part is when i first had this problem, i didnt have this app installed. As suggested above, it was probably the Dalvik cache.
For anyone who has problems finding the 'clear dalvik cache' in recovery mode; You can use lucky patcher to delete it. Its in the menu>trouble shooting> delete dalvik cache and reboot.
Or you can do it manually by going to data>dalvik-cache and deleting everything in there.
Thanks for the help!

Dalvik cache - is this something to be cleared out regularly?

I was just wondering if it would be wise to clear this out every so often?
I was just removing a couple of apps that i tried but didnt like, and it got me thinking about how many other things ive tried but didnt like since ive had the phone. Does uninstalling remove all of the apps data/cache/apk,etc? Or should i somehow manually do this thru CWM??

Clearing dalvik cache isn't going to give you any problems and it won't erase any data you need. The easiest way to do this is to get a file explorer (like es file explorer) and go to /data/dalvik-cache, select all files and delete. Reboot your device immediately though because your phone will be unstable. When your booting you'll get a 'android is upgrading' notification then after that you'll be good to go. This is probably the best way to remove leftover app data that you don't want without digging through hundreds of folders.
P.S. launching apps might be a little slower after this but only for a little bit?.

[Q] Bad battery life (AK Kernel) CM12s

So, I decided to flash the AK Kernel to fix the ghost swipe issue and the slow keyboard etc. It worked, but now the battery life is fairly bad, I'm getting around 10-12 hours and I'm at work for 8 of those hours so it doesn't get used. Google Play wake-up services are off etc. Just wondering if there's a remedy for this?

Yeah. I was just saying that for process of elimination incase someone suggested it. I'm in work at the moment. If someone could link me to the newer kernel version. That'd be wicked. If not, not to worry. I'll have a quick look when I'm home.

Thanks mate. Does wiping dalvik/ cache delete any data, apps etc?

It deletes the data IN your apps. But not any apps or photos or any personal data. I.e. if you've got a game that's linked to Google Play, your data will save, if not back it up.

That's incorrect. Wiping cache and dalvik cache doesn't wipe any app data at all. Only wiping the /data partition will erase apps (and their data) from the device.
