[Q] Google Drive refuses to open any document? - T-Mobile Sidekick 4G

I've seen this exact problem no where else on the internet. I'm flabbergasted.
Google drive refuses to open any document at all on my sidekick, and no one else on the internet has gotten this error message.
"Google Documents Error
Google documents has encountered an error. Please try reloading the document."
I'm using Ricandroid's NexusJB. I would post in his thread but I can't post in development yet. Its a great build otherwise and I'd like to avoid having to reinstall from scratch. Anyone else have this issue?

I do not have this problem. Do you have your Google account set up to sync in Settings>Accounts and Sync?

Yep, it is. Gmail and talk and contacts all work. I'm thinking its some kind of incapability with memory resources maybe? Its a blank denial on all doc types. I wish I were better at coding and linux to figure this out, but I'm too much of a newbie atm.

Might be a server problem; have you tried again? Also see this page for some possible fixes: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!msg/drive/ifONR5aCqSc/Sg0hZrbVQXcJ

Yeah I have, multiple times. I thought it may be droidwall but like the poster in your link says, it does load a docs list and allows me to make a doc offline. I didn't find this after many searches.. thanks for that.

Yeeeah so it was droidwall. I found out after uninstalling it. I guess it was lying when it said it was allowing google drive. I think google drive relies upon other internet processes to function besides itself.
Thanks for your input!
Edit: Nope!
I thought it was droidwall, but I had uninstalled google drive at the same time. It seems its the new update that breaks drive functionality.
It seems the solution is to block updates. Google drive conveniently offers that functionality in its settings.

Google Drive partially works right now when updated but the reason you can't open your documents may be that one of libs is missing in your /system/lib directory. They could have added more in the update that are otherwise seperated from the old version on your system memory.
Just a though I have had the problem once before, but I can't remember exactly how I fixed it.

The latest version of Drive works fine for me. I did not have it installed at all, so I had a fresh install (not an update). Maybe try removing it completely (not just the updates) and reinstall. Is your Drive installed as a system app or user app? If it's a system app, you'll need to use something like Titanium Backup to remove it.

This would make sense. It is an uninstall able system app, so maybe the updates libraries are broken by that.
I'm reluctant to try uninstallong with titanium as its working now. Ehh I'll probably do it in a bit and let you guys know.
Would you know how to find out which libraries Drive uses, zydrate?
Edit: Aaand its broke again and I forgot to make a backup... whoops.

I think google drive app that comes with ricandroid's nexus JB is the only one that will really work. Does anyone know if he packagaes google apps with it? If I could find the right package for the sidekick I could avoid a rom reinstall maybe.
I'm surprised there are barely any other sidekick users with this problem!! I'll post later to let you guys know if that holds true, and if a titanium backup would restore an uninstalled google drive's functionality.

It doesn't make sense to me that only the Drive app that ricandroid bundled with his nexusJB ROM would work. If that were the case, then anytime the app updated from the Play Store, it would break, and as you said, no one else seems to have a problem with it. I think the problem is on your device--maybe a dependency has gotten corrupted or gone missing. But you could always send ricandroid a private message and ask him what version he used, if he modified it, etc. You said it's working right now, so why not make a backup of it in case it starts acting up again?

I though it was working.... but it wassnt.
I finally reinstalled the JB build, which for some reason kind of made it faster?? Maybe a second wipe freshened it up.
Google drive was working initially, I tried updating it, it broke it again, and a titanium backup restored functionality successfully. So I still don't know what's wrong. Maybe a slightly corrupted ROM?
Ill try messaging ricandroid one of these days.

I don't know why the update keeps breaking Drive. I posted a query on the nexusJB thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2162745 for you. We'll see what responses we get.

Wow, thanks man!!! Almost up to 10 posts though! Haha.
Sent from my SGH-T839 using xda app-developers app

The only response so far is that someone saw on g+ that several people still running 2.x are having an issue with google drive. Of course, everyone using the SK4G is still on 2.2. May just be a random issue.

I got another response that someone is using ES File Explorer File Manager to access Google Drive. I didn't know you could do that, but apparently you can access a lot of cloud services using that app (which is a good one, and free). Just search for it in the Play Store.

I was watching the thread. Just posted in there as well now that I'm up to 10 posts. Thanks for your help with this, but I think I'll just stick to having updates disabled. Whatever google drive is being updated with, its nothing I can see as it has perfect functionality.

Lets Golf 2

I actually like and paid for this app but since rooting and installing GummyCharge I don't have it and can for the life of me figure out how to get a working copy. I could use some help.
Thanks,
Brad
Did you pay for it through the market or through the app?
Through the App. I can't find it listed on Market. Couldn't find it in V-Cast Apps either.
Try going to the game's website (http://www.gameloft.com/smartphone/lets-golf-2/) and logging in with whatever info you used during the purchase. They should have a record of it.
Even if I bought it through Verizon? It was billed to my Verizon Wireless account.
The developer should still have a record. They had to be the one to bill it to verizon and had to have known what number to bill to
Charge Posted
The record of us buying it isn't the problem, the problem is that with the rom(gummy charged) it's taken out and also it's not in the toolbox, I want it too, I paid for it, I got my media hub back from the toolbox, but I can't find let's golf 2 either, maybe I can find an apk somewhere.

I have the exact opposite problem you have. I can't seem to get rid of it. Every time I uninstall it, it reappears in my settings>applications>manage applications list (but not in the apps page where you run everything) I can't actually play it though... and I don't know where the apk would be.
couldn't you pull it from one of the stock roms around. Isn't there a a full odin leak?
You could always just google around and find a lets golf 2 apk file...it shouldn't be too hard honestly.
I did find a copy and installed it. the only problem it didn't fit the screen. I don't know how to pull a file from a ROM.

You're not the only one with that problem lol. I've flashed roms, restored apps, and then go into manage apps and am like WTF! that wasn't on my phone when i created the backup.
I have the opposite problem as you, I want to get rid of it. I uninstall it but every time I reboot my phone it comes back...any suggestions? Already tried deleting it with titanium pro and still came back.

Bump. Just wondering if anybody has figured out how to delete this app - no matter what I try it keeps reinstalling itself. On gummy charged 1.91 EE4, with pbj kernel. I have tried tb uninstall, uninstall from task manager, freeze in tb. It is really annoying. Thanks for the help.

I have a thought. Go into System/App folder. See if it is there. If not look in the Data/App folder. I believe the name is something like com.gameloft.android.GAND.GloftLG2P.ML-1.apk. If it is rename it or delete it.
I deleted it out of the dalvik cache, the /data folder and the /preinstall folder. After a reboot, this is what shows up:

(dropbox as I don't know how to use the forum app to upload photos)
I can't find it in any more folders....it's super annoying...

Yea it isn't in there. I have never had thus happen with an app before. I deleted my titanium backup of it also. I guess I will just try and ignore it....

permanent delete of lets golf2
Has anyone figured out how to delete this game yet? Like other people the game just keeps coming back after I reboot. I'm sure there are other more important issues out there but if anyone knows how to get ride of this game I'd appreciate it.
Thanks
Update - downloaded root explorer from the market
1) goto preinstall/apps
2) Delete the game
3) reboot
4)Delete from your backup aswell
Looks the game has been permanently removed. found the info on android central post by noobsickle

[Q] Purchased apps now gone after upgrade to cm9

I just flashed my ROM to cm9 from cm7 and installed the google apps package.
When I log in open Android Play (same account), and go my My Apps, all my previously downloaded apps and purchases are there still there, but none of them say 'PURCHASED'. They now list the purchase price of the app. Essentially, it's not recognizing I purchased any of my apps.
Can anyone tell me why this is happening?
EDIT: If I go on my computer and visit https://play.google.com/store, My purchased library still exists and I am able to install it via send to phone.
So really, it's a matter of inconvenience.
I read an Engadget article saying this is happening to a ton of people and Google is aware and working to rectify it.

Try going to manage apps and deleting app data for play store. That has worked for me in the past.

Yes Google is aware of this and best thing to do log out your gmail account clear data then reopen/sign back in. But if that doesn't help you'll have wait till Google updates

It seems to have fixed itself. Maybe there was just some server delay recognizing my phone.

[WARNING] Google Music limiting deauthorizations

Google has started limiting Music device deauthorizations to four per year. This is a major issue as you will show up as a new device if you flash a new ROM or even just wipe data and reload, even on the same device. Those of us who flash frequently and use Google Music will be running into this limit very soon. More info is in this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1656038
A petition is available as well. I signed the petition and rather than asking for a removal of the limit, I merely asked them to fix their device detection, as this seems to be a valid middle ground that is more likely to yield positive results.

It only authorizes the first time you play something from the cloud. If everything is local, it won't authorize the device.

Just saw that too. I'm sure they'll implement something like what they have with the Market, where it uses some time of fingerprint to recognize the device, even across wipes and reloads. I'm fine with the deauthorization limit if they do something like that.

How to detach an app from the Play Store

Right, I'm a PowerAMP pro user, but with a pretty old phone. The latest app is working but it's slow and sometimes lags. The poweramp site also offers the old 1.4 version which works right for me. Now, all is fine and dandy but I;m a bit annoyed by the app always showing up there to be updated. So I searched for a method to detach the app from the market and learnt that the bug has been solved long ago and apps can't be detached. So I tried changing the app's signature, of course with no luck, my android dev skills being close to absolute zero.
So I ask you, is there any way to do this? I am not pirating the app, so don't worry
I'm also trying to convince the developer to make an unsigned version of the app specifically for old timers like me, but with no success until now..
Just use LBE Privacy guard and freeze internet connection permission for this particular app..
So it will not connect to net and not telling you that new version is available..
we all should be polite enough to press thanks for anyone who helped US.

If it doesnt need to connect to the internet for anything else you could use droidwall to block it from accessing the playstore
If your rooted you could use blackmart to download the app and never have to update it
Or see the updates notifications saying there's an update

I know Titanium Backup can detach apps, though I am not sure if it is available in the free version. However, I do recommend the paid version of Titanium Backup anyway.

On a related note, is there a way to remove apps from the "My Apps"list? It is really annoying to have to scroll through a list of apps containing tons of apps that you may have tried for a while and then uninstalled when you need to reinstall something. And why is the "My Apps" list in random order and not alphabetical?

As far as I know (and after some quick Googling), there is no way to remove any apps from the giant "My Apps" list. However, I use the Appbrain android market replacement, and it lets you customize your lists and sort them better. You can remove devices from view though.

[Q] stock video player running by its self after jelly bean update

I have noticed that since updating to jelly bean 4.1.2 that the stock video player seems to start its self in the back ground I have spotted it in active applicstions a couple of times now. Was wondering if others are noticing the same thing. I just did a factory reset and it still seems to be doing it at random does anyone have any clues as to why it would be doing this, is it a bug of some sort?
I've had the same problem. Couldn't figure it out, so I removed the app, which I regret now. I forgot to do a backup of the apk file.
In hindsight I suspect it might be caused by the video app syncing content from the cloud providers (Dropbox, etc). I haven't been able to prove this, since I don't have the app anymore. If someone does have a backup of the apk, I'd appreciate it.

Yeah I dont know, i have all syncing turned off unless the app doesnt pay attention to that and just starts up to try sync anyway dont know why it would have to actually start for that and not just do it in the back ground? Did you actually unistall the apk or just dissable it? If you just disabled it you can enable again in the applications menu all disabled apps are at the bottom of yhe list of installed apps.
Yeah, I checked. It's deleted. Me and my stupid mind.
