This is a noobish question. We have a htc inspire 4G that's been stuck in a loop trying to update Adobe flash 10.3 and is using up data like crazy. There seems to be no way to stop it. Any suggestions?
Have you tried uninstalling it then reinstalling 10.2?

So you're saying that in market, you see that striped green progress bar indicating it's downloading/updating and it never seems to start doing anything/ finish?
If that's the case, I've solved that one by unchecking "update automatically," cancelling the download, back out a couple of screens, then to the apps page in market and push update.
That usually gets the download to actually start downloading, and finish.
I don't know if this will work in your situation. Please be as specific as possible when describing issues you are having. It makes troubleshooting much easier to do.
Thanks for your replies. We have tried uninstalling it, in both cases we get a progress bar that never ends. In the case of an uninstall it only allows us to uninstall the updates and says it is a system app as why.
It will not let us stop the download. We have tried stopping data connections and then uninstalling the updates, but to no avail. Even when the device is offline, the uninstall progress bar keeps going as if stuck in a loop just as happens with the install from market.
For the record, this is a completely unmodded device.
this happened to me also. i went to menu/settings/aplications/manage aplications/found the market app and then cleared cache and data. then opened app back up and proceded with the download. it worked for me

You'll need to stop the process on that screen first before you clear the cache. I've had to do this with several apps so it's a good workaround to be familiar with.
Thanks for the tips. This is what I did:
1. Put the device in airplane mode to stop the download.
2. Rebooted.
3. Went into settings/applications/manage applications and cleared the cache and data
4. Rebooted again
5. Returned to settings/applications/ manage applications and selected uninstall updates
Same result. It was stuck trying to uninstall.
Edit. Actually, it is worse than i thought. As a control i tried downloading an update from a different app after i stopped the Adobe flash update. - same result. Then i tried to download a random free app. - it won't download. Then i tried to uninstall an app. - it got stuck on the progress bar. So, the problem seems to be system wide.
Anyone ever heard of something like this?
I am using Coredroid V7.
When I am trying to download apps from the official app market, it doesnt download.
it says downloading then just clears itself out. i try it again it doesnt download it.
i even did a full wipe(1.5 and coredroid wipe) then freshly flashed the rom again, then it doesnt download again.
because of that i even had to RE-root my phone..well that didnt fix it as well..
it worked completely fine in 6.7. can anyone help me whats wrong with it? i even resetted my phone..nothing worked...
im trying to download miren browser..
Wow hmm I had this before. Are you setting up any accounts after flashing? What I mean is once you flash and get to set up tutorial,when it asks about setting up accounts,so u log into Facebook or Google right then?

Well, after the extensive wiping/rerooting/reflashing/reseting you've done, to no avail, maybe it's just the market acting up.
I've run into similar download issues both stock/unrooted and custom/rooted, from time to time. It's usually that stuck progress bar that never seems to move and never finishes, almost always when trying download something that's set to update automatically.
I've also run into specific downloads not kicking in, as you're describing. It usually clears itself up if I just wait a little while and try again.
Not a very specific solution to your problem, but all I'm saying is that after all you've done to "reset," that should have taken care of the problem, if the problem was indeed on your end.
FWIW.

Do a Search for Full Wipe, there is something you can run that just cleans yer device completely. I would try that. Else; I am unsure.
Settings->Applications->Market-> Clear Data/Cache ???
Worked for me =(
It's just a sporadic issue with the Android Market. I have encountered this very same problem and thought it was the rom but never did any reflashing or wiping data/cache but then I would go try to download an app and it would successfully download and install. I think it's an issue with the android market.

Just fyi, I flashed v7 tonight, and installed several apps after the fact, so I can at least assure you that it's but the ROM.
Sent from the computer I carry in my pocket.
Solution kinda
I was having the same problem tried all sorts of wipes to no avail ended up just downloading and installing new cooler looking app market thinking it would solve my problem but it didn't just gave me an error message to go along with it.....so the solution u say......annoyingly simple really reboot into recovery after installing new market clear cache and dalvik cache too just to be sure.
confirmed working as of 5 minutes ago.
with new market
on virtuous unity rom (but I don't see a reason it shouldn't work on most roms with weird market bug)

I just recently flashed 4.4 custom CM 11 ROM with a clean install, followed the instructions by updating the firmware, then flashing the ROM and GAPPS, then setting up the phone, then returning to recovery to flash the Kanged apps. There is no Phone app, though when I say "Ok, Google" and tell it to call a contact, it works, and asks what app to use by default (Phone, Skype). When the call began, no app opened, it was my home screen, though the call went through.
Is this a problem with the Kanged apps or what's up?
Edit: I just wiped cache and dalvik cache, re-flashed the PA Gapps [not the Kanged] and still no phone app. Can someone link me to the GApps they used that worked well? Maybe its just a faulty DL.

Give me the link where you download the cm11, I will take a look.
Also go into /systen/app and check to see if you have the phone app.

Click ROM Downloads, Using the 12/25/2013 (uploaded the 26th) one, as it was said to be the most stable. If you know of a more stable release (I'm looking for working bluetooth and gps, messages and phone) let me know. I'll edit this after checking the system folder.
Edit: Under system/app/ there is a "TelephonyProvider.apk" that has the same picture the Phone App would have. Trying to open it prompts me with installing an update, titled "Phone/Messaging Storage". Attempting to install it gives no results, and just says it wasn't installed.

OK, try this.
1)boot to recovery, wipe cache, dalvik cache, data and system
2) install http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23252070760973328 and install this gapp http://invisiblek.org/gapps/gapps-kk-20131208.zip

Ok, downloading the stuff now. While it downloads, where is the option to wipe system in CWM Touch? Its probably in a pretty obvious place and I just overlooked it, I haven't clean flashed a rom since my second one, the rest were just updates to CM. I'll post back when the process is done. Thanks for all the help so far!

Yeah, it had been stuck and I actually failed to wipe system the first time. Did it this time around, and its booted up, with a phone app! The question I have for you now: Is flashing the "Kanged" apps worth it? What does it add? What does it break? I've seen some posts claiming it breaks things, I've seen others saying it works fine. What's your experience with it? Other than that, thanks a ton! Can't wait to get this buddy settled in!

The Kanged gapp is fine, but the newer version, for some reasons it's not working well with some of the app. The one I gave you is pretty much ok with most of the rom. At the end they should be all the same function and the question is which one will work with most of the rom. There is no advantage from one to the others.

Yeah haha, that tends to be how CM is. Its been like that since my OG Droid days haha.
Quick question; do you know how to change what the icons on the lock screen redirect too? For example, making the music icon open Google Play Music, not Apollo, or the messages icon opening Hangouts, not Messages.

OK, I'm not on the rom that you're using, but if I remember correctly, it should be in settings->security-> slider targets and shortcuts -> enable the Eight slider targets then tab on slider targets, you will see the lock on your screen, hold down on the lock and slide to any position on the circle, an app menu should popup, here you can select what app you want to launch for the position. Repeat the same for other positions. You have up to 7 apps to launch from the lock screen, the last one is to unlock.

Ah, I see. Sadly, there is no "slider targets and shortcuts" under security, but I'll keep looking myself haha. Thanks for all the help mate, appreciate it!

Did you try clearing data and cache of the app?
Sometimes some apps do not work after upgrading the firmware and you've to clear data and cache to make them work again!

Yes, I read other people has same problem after updating but none solution. Thanks anyway.
Still no solution to this problem? I've had this since I got the phone back in November. Updated straight to 4.2, never tried it on 4.1. I can't believe this hasn't been solved yet, with the recent releases and everything. Meanwhile I've just been using this app, it's a bit outdated but at least it does the job.

I just updated Netflix app, it works now
Sent from my Xperia L
I got a Nexus 5 been using CM on it for a while now. Currently i have 11-20140708-SNAPSHOT-M8
the build date is july 8. I've been getting CM update for a new version for like a month now, tried installing it a couple of times, when i press to reboot and install it says it installed it, and after the phone reboots, it's still the same old version, and i keep getting the notification to upgrade, but i can't.
So I waited for another new build, thinking this is just some bug in the update. Yesterday a new version prompted for a update, but the same happened. So i tried to download the zip from CM website and flash it on recovery manually. And i got an error:
Can't install this package on top of incompatible data. (Status 7) installation aborted.
I used to update with no problems, but I seem to be stuck on the july 8 build.
Anyone else dealing with this, or know how to fix this?
Is your bootoader up-to-date? CM often require you to have latest bootloader
No. I haven't upgraded it. I've found multiple threats about it, I'm not sure which one is the right to do so. As i'm not really familiar with this kind of stuff.
EDIT: My BL version is HHZ11K. From what i gathered it's the most recent one.

Sounds like you're dirty flashing but something in your current set up has been corrupted. You may need to factory reset or do a clean install.

problems updating monthly snapshots of CM
Hi, I have been looking everywhere to see why I am having difficulties updating Cyanogen snapshots every month. I found this post but I don't really know if it pertains to my problem. I have a google rooted nexus 5 and every month when I try to update my phone begins acting up. It starts saying unfortunately google play services has stopped working. I see my apps trying to install but all I get are error notification icons at the top and they won't download. I posted on g+ and someone says it has to do with titanium. Im at a loss. Its very frustrating as I've tried almost everything I can think of to no avail. I try to go to the playstore and it's like I have no connection. I do have and use titanium backup for the apps I want to restore. I spoke to someone that has the same phone and he tells me to just flash the update without wiping but it doesn't work for me. I don't know if its a setting I'm missing on titanium or what it is but it sucks. With the 2 last updates this has happened. Leaving me with no option but to download the CM snapshot along with gapps. Wipe my phone and flash both the snapshot and gapps and start from scratch. I hope you can help me. Hopefully I'm in the right place. Tx you

So here is what i would try to do. reboot into recovery. do a factory reset, make sure you backup your files as this cleans them. And then make the update from the updater or download it manually from cm website.

Almost what I did, i l always do a nandroid backup before flashing anything in recovery, I downloaded the snapshot and the gapps, wiped, and installed snapshots along with gapps. So your telling me to just do a backup in recovery before updating that it cleans my files, then without wiping to try to update just the CM update from either my phone or their website? No gapps? Will try next time thanks.
