Market won't download apps

Any app(paid or free) won't go past the "Download Starting..." Status. It has been driving me crazy for hours now. I've restored the phone with the latest RUU 3 Times now, I've tried the stock rom, modaco, and TTG. Its a Google Phone w/ Recovery 1.5.2. I'm getting annoyed with the phone and I'm about to through it out, It has been working nearly perfect(random slow downs and crashes) until today.

i had the same problem
i had to do a total wipe of the phone to get it back to normal

I flashed it with the RUU? Isn't that the way to "fully" wipe it?

Same here. I did ruu then flashed fresh 1.1 and gumbo kernel. All my apps were in my downloads but they wouldn't download to the phone. Stayed stuck at application downloading. Did a nandroid backup and that fixed it.

I completely wiped everything, with these commands:
Code:
wipe /
wipe -data
wipe /data
wipe -all
I don't know which commands worked for doing what but I couldn't even boot into android or recovery.

Um..
Its a market wide issue... No reset is gonna help.. It was just circumstance that you thought that...
I'm a Sprint Tech, and it has been brought to my attention all day, whether you have a Hero or a Moment, its sporadic outages.

Did you use a task manager or anything that disables apps on start-up?
I had that problem until I figured out disabling Google Talk from start-up gave me that problem. Opening Google Talk, magically fixed the problem for me. May or may not be the case for you, but something to think about.

That sucks, the day I choose to reflash the market is down. Oh well. Anyone know how to do a FULL Wipe or were my commands right?

Need to open google talk and sign in.
That fixed it for me, and a few of my friends!

I experienced this problem, and found that A2SD is the cause.
Not sure if you're using it nor not.

Try this LINK HERE
Read post #37 by me and try it this should fix the issue without doing a wipe

I've fixed the issue, I had to boot into fastboot and manually delete everything on the phone(directory "/") and used the latest RUU. I manually rooted the phone and installed the 1.5.2 Recovery. I did a factory reset, deleted dalvik-cache and boot-cache and installed a custom rom. I couldn't get service but a reboot fixed it. I have 150mb free space on my phone and market works without problems.

or could have just signed into gtalk...

Has anyone tried signing onto gtalk?

Sound like your problem wasn't just a market problem.

All you actually had to do was change your Gmail password. The phone will then force you back through the Google account sign-in process. This fixes most Gmail syncing issues and Market download issues.

are you using wi-fi to download the app? I never had much success doing that myself. always had to use EVDO.

[Q] (Samsung Young 2) Can't encrypt device after format

Hi guys, I'm having a problem and a friend directed me to this website, hope I'm not breaking the rules or anything by posting here.
I formatted my phone today cos I felt it got too laggy lately, everything went alright, phone is working, it got decrypted, I synced samsung/google and backed up all of my data and apps., so far so good. Then I went to actually put a security pattern but I got surprised it only let me chose "password" the rest of the choices are grayed... I read online some people said I need to go to Security>Clear Credentials, but that also can't work since it's also gray. I tried to uncheck the Device administrators (Android Device Manager) but that didn't help either. I rebooted, and still no solution. I could probably try "Install from device storage" but then I don't know what to chose? I really have no idea how android works, it would be a great if anyone can help!
Update: I also went on Developper Mode but still nothing changed.
Update: I tried putting a password on and now I have to use a password everytime I unlock it fml... can't turn it off

Basically this problem is solved by clearing credentials and disabling device administrators...But as u said its not works for you...
So, first do a factory reset... Then check.. If not works check if clear credentials option is highlighted... If yes..clear it...and see it cleared..Or not...or what it says if failed....
Disable every device administrators...
And report what happens

I did a factory reset and backed everything still the same problem.. I think I'll try again without restoring anything hmm could the SD card be the problem here? should I format it as well?

What have you restore after format.. I mean which type data?
Edit: there's must not issue with sd card.. And if u think there is.. Just remove sdcard not format it..

Apps, wifi passwords, wallpaper, but even when I didn't restore it's the same problem, oh yea I already formatted it without an SD (first time) and that was when I discovered the problem

If u still face problems.. U can flash the stock rom via odin

That sounds complicated and I don't have any usb cable I think I'll just stick to CM Locker app

My s7 crashes (app/UI has stopped) whenever I try to connect to new wifi network...

The problem appeared after upgrade to nougat. I tried factory reset, it was ok for the first hours and now, the problem returned.
Anyone facing the same problems?
Phone not rooted, running on official rom and problems occurs even in safe mode....

Hi
How did you upgrade?
OTA , flashing??
If OTA did you upgrade al your apps , maybe one of them is making trouble
If flashing , how? and also did you upgrade your apps

Hey, thanks for the answer. It was OTA. I suppose all apps are up to date since I restored to factory settings and re-installed them.
The problem is still there even in safe mode...

Hi
yeah is odd , i would think it has to be app related .....
When you get the error ..after you introduce the password? what about if you ask your phone to forget your old connection , it allows you to connect to the new one then?
I would try to wipe dalvik and cache from recovery and /or reflash stock rom again..maybe something went wrong at least the modem

I tried to wipe the cache with no success. I am on a trip right now, and I cannot wipe the dalvik for the moment.
I figured out a walkthrough though using a third party app called "WIFI manager". I even managed to install a certificate and use it for a connection to an "eduroam" network...

Oneplus one acting weird

My opo fell in water so its screen was not working. My father gave it to a mobile repair shop who repaired it for 4k. When he checked the phone everything seemed alright.He was able to call me etc etc. Then he couriered me the phone. When I got It... It had cos13 latest version. I checked everything except calling. Then I rooted my phone. Flashed oreo. I inserted my sim. It was able to detect that it was an idea sim and import contacts from it but it showed no service. I thought it was the rom. I flashed Tugapower N49. Same problem. So I thought restoring it to stock might solve the problem. Used oneplus one recovery tool to restore it to 4.4 . Still the same problem. It can detect the sim but can not catch any signal. I check my Imei number. Its still there. But I was not able to run the ping test. Then I thought of using this phone for checking roms only and use my Lumia(I hate Lumia) for calling. Rooted it again. Flashed oreo. Flashed its gapps. It show installation complete but its stuck there...... Waited for half an hour. Forced restart. oreo opened but It was nt factory reset although I had wiped it and it shut down after some time. after that my phone reached the android screen only and cant proceed further. I thought maybe force closing my phone during gapps installation did this. Tried to install tuga power.. error executing update binary. Had one more nougat rom. Installed it. Again it didn't show that starting google screen which u see when ever u open a new phone. Basically It was again not factory reset, Wiped everything except system. still this happened. Returned back to stock using recovery tool. Now I tried to install multirom so that I can install the oreo rom. after rooting multirom wasn't able to download anything. Downloaded it manualy. Flashed multirom twrp using fastboot. opened recovery . Not working. phone rebooting. Flashed the previous recovery which I was using before multirom one, That one is working properly!!! What is wrong with my phone???!!!!!

[solved] TWRP shows wierd file names, please help

I've been at this issue for 2 days please can any one determin what is the issue and help? (attached)
it happend right after I tried rr rom then I flashed stock miui again and tried a new clean istall but ever since twrp doesn't show files. so far I learned it is xiaomi encryption thing in vendor image.
hope you guys have sulotion

الحمدلله
I got it,
to whom may face what I severely faced, just flash a developer rom through mi flasher and then you are good to go it is as simple as that!.
may miui die forever !

What happened was your storage was encrypted. TWRP is supposed to ask for your pattern or password when it starts so it can decrypt and read it. I had that issue a couple times where it didn't ask me on some custom roms, not sure why.
Using the new unofficial resurrection remix build now, and you can disable encryption on that.

Just do a format data.

Everytime I got this wierd file names, I've done a format data and everything was back to normal. Altough, after the format data there's only TWRP file avaiable.
