After rooting Galaxy Tab 2 GT-P5113 (wifi) i have noticed some strange issue with a few apps. Zedge will not let me download anything. When I click to download a wallpaper it says download failed and will not do anything. Beautiful widgets keeps force closing and will not let me add anything. Its strange because these apps did work before I rooted the tablet. Not sure if I need to fix permissions as I cannot find how to do that.
edit - I noticed that I cannot even download data within an app like Mass effect infiltrator. It lets me download the app but not the 300 or so mb's for the game to run, it just hangs there. Also my gallery won't open as it claims I have no external memory when I do have an sd card in there with 10gb free. Not sure if something happened when I rooted but I will try to restore to stock rooted and see if thats the problem
Can't say I had any of those problems, fix permissions is I believe under advanced in CWM recovery, but I don't think a stock rom will have a built in option to fix permissions. Zedge worked fine for me, but I had to sideload ME Infiltrator on my GTab2 7.0, market reported the hardware was incompatible. the game downloaded it's data and so far seems to play just fine.

a known issue with devices that were repartitioned with anything other than 2048. Did you use clockworkmod and repartition to 4096?
I did..
I then repartitioned back to 2045 and its now force closing everytime I boot and cant get into the app at all.
Got into my usual workflow in Titanium Backup, and guess I did something I shouldn't have on my Xoom... let it integrate all updated system apps to the ROM.
The 4 listed were Maps, Cordy, DunDef, and MyApps
I don't seem to have any issues with the first 3, but when in the Market, and hitting "My apps" I get force close of My Apps (process com.android.vending)
I have tried clearing cache & data on Market, Market Feedback Agent, Market Updater & My Apps... no help.
Is there any way to get/reinstall the original MyApps with out full a re-flash?
SOLVED: For a non destructive (ie no wipe) fix to my issue...
- First I flashed a root preped HRI66 system.img from roebeet http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=995785 following his instructions.
- Second I re-flashed Tiamat kernal and modules http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=978013
- Third I re-cleared cache for Market and MyApps
- DONE. Working fine again.
do you have at least 2gb of space available

Yeah. 17.9 gb free
I can install new apps from the market, but get weird notifications during download and after install. I would need to go DL something to find the exact messages.. but something like..
"1#% download"
"app already purchased or is still being processed"
"application failed"
Though the apps (a couple free ones) installed and ran fine.
rooted? 3g or wifi?
3g
v3.0.1 - Tiamat v1.3 Kernal - Rooted
do you have your sdcard?
I would just reflash. that would be the only way. if you have working sdcard i would back up all the apps to it
No way to just push that one piece eh? damn.
I figured out a non-destructive way to solve this. I am adding that info to OP in case it will help someone.
all you should have needed to do was simply uninstall the update to My Apps.that's what I did and it fixed the problem

I was unable to do that, the button was grayed out. That was the first thing I looked to do when it happened.
I have a rooted US Wifi xoom with 3.2. I can search for and download apps but if I try to install it, the market crashes . Also when I go to myapps it also crashes.
After I rooted the xoom, I installed the netflix app (and modified build.prop file so show my device as an HTC Vision)and the market still worked after i did all this, but I'm not sure what else could cause it to stop working.
Any ideas?
Update:
Fixed the issue by clearing the cache and data in the MyApps application.
Hello,
Post rooting (repenting it already) my Samsung Galaxy S Plus (GTI9001), I am unable to install any apps via Play Store. I am able to install apk's from the SD Card though. I un-rooted the phone but problem persist.
When I try to install any app, I can see the app being downloaded on the notification but the moment the download completes nothing happens. When i go to Play Store > My Apps I could see that it still says downloading though the app is fully downloaded. I guess some permission issues here. Please help.
I have already cleared Play Store cache and tried.

Hello,
Which Rom do you use? Maybe you have to root it again. Usually you can fix permissions in CWM. Have you tried to restart after "Download is finished". For Me it was working on my Asus EeePad.

Chris, I am still on stock ROM and I am not likely to go for a custom ROM since there are not much good ROM's available for Samsung Galaxy S Plus and Yes I tried multiple reboots. After reboot, on the notification it says that app download failed due to some error with a number.
Thanks for your reply.
Same issue
Reyolin,
I have had the same problem on my Samsung Galaxy S Plus but it has only started today. Mine has been rooted for about 5 months now, since I first got it.
I did a search using EStrong File explorer and it found a file called "downloadfile.apk" in /cache (I assume this is the file as it is the same file size as stated in the Play store. However, when I tried to run or copy it it had disappeared.
It's almost like the APK is being downloaded and then being deleted before installation actually occurs.
I think rooting your phone and the inability to install apps is just coincidental.
I will do some more playing about and see what I can find (I also already tried removing the Google Play updates (to go back to the old style Market). This still did not solve the problem.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions &

Exactly same proble
Hi,
I have exaclty the same problem (galaxy s plus), rooted 5 month ago and problem started 2 days ago...
I updated superuser at that time and tried to update the su binarie but it fails on validation of new su and stopped (not replacing old su), this is the only thing I can remember of. root is still working with old su. Maybe the cleaning needs to be done ?
Has someone found a way to fix this?
edit:
after some investigation, this is what happens:
if I try to install one app from play store, it is downloaded correctly and then nothing happens.
the file downloaded is in /cache/downloadfile.apk
If I copy this file to /sdcard/external_sd/downloadfile.apk and run it manually it installs correctly.

galaxy s plus specific issue
i am having the same problem since morning and i also use Samsung galaxy s plus, so certainly the issue is phone specific.
Good news! Problem solved for me
Hi,
I contacted google play support and her was there answer:
Thanks for contacting us and I am sorry for the delay in responding.
We've gotten some reports that users with Samsung Galaxy S Plus devices running Android OS version 2.3 (Gingerbread) are having trouble using Google Play. We're aware of this issue and to solve it we recommend you to uninstall updates to the Google Play app by following these steps:
1. Tap Menu > Settings > Applications > Manage applications
2. Find the "All" tab
3. Scroll down to Play Store and tap to select
4. Tap "Uninstall updates"
Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.
So I followed this and it works again!
Here are the steps after doing google recommendations:
- click google play icon, it will open old google market
- install an application, for me it worked again!
- exit google market
- click again the google play icon, it will ask to accept google play license
- click yes and then try to install another app, it worked again!
Hope this will solve also your issues,
Stef
I Just had the same problem. Here is how I fixed it,
- Uninstalled updates for Google Play
- I added a New Google Account.
- I Then signed into the new Google Account, Then Sign Into Your Main Account
And "BOOM" problem solved.

clearing cache wont do anything. clear the play store app data, then reboot. root has nothing to do with the playstore. all root does is give you superuser permission to access/change files files in your phone. hows your data connection? are you on wifi? if you are on wifi, try it while on mobile data.
I'm having the same issue. I just unlocked the bootloader (but haven't rooted yet) which required a data wipe. Everything booted back up fine but now I have a bunch of preloaded apps that need updates but Google Play won't update them. They just act like they're downloading for a second and then one by one fail and go back to the list of apps that need updating.
Also, I just checked and I can't download new apps either. It says for example: "Angry Birds" could not be downloaded due to an error (920)
Surely this can't be due to unlocking the bootloader. I've flashed tons of ROMs to my old Galaxy Nexus and never run into anything like this. Maybe Google is having issues on their end at the moment?
Seems to be working now. I cleared the data/cache on Google Play and Download Manager... didn't work. Rebooted about 5 times... didn't work. Factory Reset... didn't work. Repeated all of the above... didn't work. But I just clicked "update" for the 50th time and it's actually working now out of the blue
