So, I occassion drive for DoorDash. When I do a system restore after factory reset the DoorDash app will mark me as paused. However, when I do a factory reset and just install a few apps the DoorDash app seems to work. It's seems like it tries to send me a delivery, but instead of it coming through it pauses me?
So I'm thinking there must be a conflicting app? What I'm wondering, is there a way for me to figure out what's causing the issue? I'll be able to watch the DD app, and know the exact time there's an issues if there are apps out there that could record internal issues or conflicts for me to analyze?
I know this isn't device specific, but this is my device. And I really could use help as DD support is beyond useless

As long as it works via clean reset don't even bother trying to restore via any means if it is not necessary?
Just backup pics and data , and reinstall apps manually. There's a lot of reasons why conflict may arise - none of which is really within your means... If you're lucky MAYBE another app gets installed which causes conflicts such that uninstall would fix it but that's really far fetched...
To view logs you'd do something like adb shell logcat - start it on pc
Then make the app missbehave , and stop the logging on PC after ( With Ctrl+C )
Scroll through logs and see if there's any mention as to what's going on...
There's way more involved methods like injecting YAHFA into APK , then running your own logger for getting internal logsbof the app - If you can't even gather logs this is off the table lol
(You could attempt this via App Cloner tho , which is a paid app - like 2$ Select app, enable logs and rebuild app. I haven't tried the logging option so it might be 2$ spent on nothing if it does not work)
Either way - simplest option is factory reset then install everything manually if that causes no issues.
If you wanna backup / restore in future there's options to do it via adb , which might be more stable than system app

Having an issue trying to install new apps from Market place. When I finish downloading an app, and its trying to install I get an error saying that "installation unsuccessful" I try 5 different apps and all getting the same error...... I reboot my TF and also clear data and cache, and I am still getting this error. I have about 500MB left on my drive. No root and on the latest firmware. I was able to install couple of days ago.........Android is pissing me off.
This was something else i experienced with low space. I think its becausw the partition is full. try deleting a big app like google earth

Even tho I have 500MB left? Actually I was trying to download google earth and it was giving me that error. Is there a place where it tells me that Im close to over the limit in installing apps?
me too
I have the same problem in my Transformer and from I have seen only resetting the tablet to default solves it. But the worse thing is that it will reproduce after a few days. Perhaps a specific application that we are installing do this? But I don't know what application or if it is any other problem. Sometimes Android feels like windows 95, when more applications you install more likely it will break (in the last windows versions it will slowdown).
In my phone Galaxy S 2 suddenly I cannot record audio anymore, no matter what program.
There are other threads talking about this problem of not being able to install programs pointing that it reproduces (as me) but without clear solution.

Is there any way to at least install all applications after a reset from default from some type of list? (without root privileges)
Hi!
I just got my SK4G the other week, and migrated over from a Motorola Milestone. I was using the brilliant 'Tasker' App on my Milestone, and when it came to getting the SK4G, I backed up my tasks and profiles, and am using the same SD card with the Sidekick.
My problem is that while all of the profiles I had set up are working fine, I am unable to create new ones because of the app continuously force closing. Whenever I try to set up a task, as soon as I get to the dialog to choose what actions to run, I get a short vibration, a pause, and then three quick vibrations followed by a force close. The rest of the app functions fine, and the tasks I'd already set up work perfectly.
I have tried:
Uninstalling and reinstalling the app,
Removing my backed up preferences and creating tasks on default settings,
Using a task killer to free up RAM,
Rebooting,
Waiting a few days and trying again,
although nothing is working. I am still unable to use the app, as this unexplainable force closes prevent me from doing anything.
I know what you're thinking, "Go ask the Tasker forums!" but I just thought I would try here, seeing as it's a fairly popular app and the phone is only new I think I would have better chance finding someone who also uses the app on SK4G and might be able to enlighten me or tell me they have the same problem.
So, anyone got any ideas? Anyone using Tasker without problems on SK4G?
When you tried to install it on your SK4g, did you download it from the Market or did you just install the APK from your old phone?
I downloaded it from the market again, although its not impossible that there could have been some app files left behind on the sd card. Do you know what they would look like?
Thanks for helping!
Also, I'm just headed to bed, so don't expect another reply immediately
I've got Tasker working just fine here, that might just be some part of having the old files on your phone. Can you pull off everything that you copied over and try to redownload it from Market to see if that works without an FC?
I'm cleaning out my SD card now, getting rid of any extra Tasker files, and going to try that, although I can't actually uninstall the app. I do it via the market and it still shows up and I can still open it... This is with the SD card mounted and unavailable...
why can't you uninstall it? you should be able to just click uninstall in the applications list? it isn't a system app so there shouldn't be a problem there. also, why is your sdcard mounted but unavailable? that's just confusing. maybe that's why it can't uninstall? if it's installed to your sdcard, maybe it can't get to the application to uninstall it?
Sorry, by 'mounted' I meant to say that I was using the usb mass storage so the SD card was unavailable.
I ended up working out that I had given Tasker some kind of permissions in security settings, and had to disable that to uninstall.
Went through with uninstall, formatted my SD card and tried from scratch with Tasker again. No luck. Have now restored my profiles so I can keep using them until I sort it out.
huh. that's weird. and you reinstalled from market, not from an apk?
Yep! nothing makes sense!
Have you been able to completely uninstall it from your phone through settings?
I did completely uninstall, yes. I then re-downloaded from the market and I'm getting the same thing.
and what exactly are you doing in tasker when it force closes?
I get FC whenever I try to click the + button to add an action to a task.
I also asked the Tasker forums/google groups thing, and they told me to install a beta version, and I have and it fixed everything
So if anyone else has been having these problems just grab the latest beta of Tasker from here:
http://tasker.dinglisch.net/beta.html
The reson it fc is cuz u r stopping processes which are need to run for the device to work.......Well I will be honest with you,if ur talking about a task killer....ITS POINT LESS....unless u are a dev and plane to us ur phone for deving....because no matter how much ur stop things well they will just start runing againg and well the appes are waste of space if u want to spot app, go to mune,then apps, manage apps and stop the ones u don't want....
No, Tasker is something completely different - it lets you automate lots of Android things
GTab 10.1 p7500 , stock 3.1
Here's the case , playing Temple run 2 for few minutes. When I exit , the tab get crash.I was force to restart the tab.
After restart , everything get reset where it ask me for username , date and time and etc similar when you first bought a phone/tab.
Every application shortcut was on the screen but everyone of it crash.It looks like it auto created another profile for me.
What works is I uninstall the apps and reinstall again.Updating will also fail to launch.
Is there way to backup my bookmark link from opera and other application ?
Getting it straight to the point , how do I backup all application data which crash without rooting ?
Again I forgot to addd , the youtube and google play revert back to original old youtube icon and also google market.
What kind of crashes was it ? It auto revert all apps unusable ?
Anyone kind enough to reply me ? :crying:
Well the important thing would be to simply prevent the crashes from happening at all. There should be a tab in your settings for you to update if the manufacturer has provided one to be able to fix the crashing. Also, try doing a manual factory reset on your device, and starting from scratch. It could also be a faulty device. However as far as backup is concerned, there should be a multitude of apps on the playstore, or worst comes to worst, you can transfer your files to your computer via USB and transfer them back after the crash.
Personally, I'd just want the crashing to stop, hence why I suggested that first.
I hope this helps, or that you at least get your issue resolved.

Right now , the first thing I'd do now is root the device.Then using root backup pro and backup the apps + data .
After than will do a factory reset.
Is it a good idea ?
anyone know to use adb to backup or pull /data/data/Opera file out to backup?
it's not a big deal, as I can easily reboot to recovery and re-flash root.
however it's getting annoying, and I'm trying to figure out what could be the possible causes that might cause root to "randomly" disappears.
I've tracked down a couple of possible scenarios where root can be lost, due some failed patching of some sort, but it still doesn't explains other cases like when launching a game from the Google Play store, then hanging and after End Task, to find out that Root is gone.
I use an app called Auto Mount along with my 120GB microSD so I can keep all my apps/games running without filling up the built-in storage. I also use Titanium backup and Droid Wall, BusyBox and many other Utility Apps that needs root.
Yet all those are well known trusted apps, so I have no clue what or if anything is being send down from Google Play store to reset root
Recently Google Play have been doing weird things, and needs to often delete the cache / data, so things can be downloaded or updated properly, otherwise you'll get those typical play store error codes.
Anybody else suspect or got an idea what could be causing this issue?
so, after additional test, I noticed anytime I make a change to the blocking rules in DroidWall, it causes the problem after applying the new changes.
Another app that seems to also kills root is CSR racing update by itself, after letting it update, it also kills root.
newer version of CSR does not uses google play to update, also it ignores the blockings in DroidWall
Alot of the issue could be that the way android mounts the SD card it was never made for apps. I will bet that if you stop using auto mount and store the apps an the normal storage you will stop seeing this issue.
Hello community,
I'm listing the problems I have faced/ still facing with the Samsung Galaxy Watch4. If you have a solution, please comment. If you have other watch problems, please mention them with solution, if available.
Much of the problems below started AFTER doing a factory reset.
1. If I make a call from the watch, the contact picture doesn't show up in the background. I don't think it was like this before doing a factory reset.
2. If I get a call on the watch, the contact picture is very blurry. This is after a factory reset. Before the reset, it was fine.
3. Galaxy Wear app on my phone frequently fails to sync watch's battery info on the app. Same is true of Smart Things app. I have noted some of my observations and potential solution here and here. But other things are mostly fine on the app.
4. Although this happened only a couple of times, it is still worth mentioning: organizing the apps inside the Apps section in Galaxy Wear app did not sync the changes to the App Drawer on the watch. All changes done simply vanished, and I had to redo everything again.
5. There is no built-in way to backup the watch faces downloaded from the Galaxy Store or Google Play Store. And without root, Android (including WearOS) doesn't support backing up app data. This is just very pathetic.
The watch faces (only the APKs, not the app data) can be manually backed up using a file manager app. But it must be sideloaded using ADB, something most users wouldn't be comfortable with.
Limitations/ Drawback
1. One can't unpair a watch without having to do a factory reset to pair again.
2. One should not delete the app data for Galaxy Watch4 Manager app on the phone. If you do, you'll have to factory reset the watch to pair it again with the phone.
3. One should not delete the app data for Google Play Services app on the phone. If you do, you'll have to factory reset the watch to pair it again with the phone.
4. Watch Faces (with very few exceptions) don't come up with import/ export of configurations. If a watch face is uninstalled, it must be setup all over again.

I meant if you unpair the watch from the Bluetooth devices section or do a network reset on the phone, you'll have to factory reset the watch to pair it again.
Clearing system cache didn't help with any of the problems reported above.
I think this battery related problem is caused by apps on the watch that need a companion app on the phone. I'm not sure about it yet.

That's very odd. It sounds like a default setting has been changed somehow. Lol, a factory reset is not a viable option. You're missing something.
Maybe a third party app.
Does Wearables have all it's many needed permissions?
Disable all global power management... destroyer of worlds.
Play with it, Android's wuv attention

Someone said it is for security purposes, although it wasn't immediately clear how. Since it is designed to be that way, there should be good reasons for it, even if I haven't figured that out yet. It is not a permissions issue or optimization issue.
I have quite a few (about 30) watch faces, and the thought of factory reset scares me away. So I am careful about how I play with it.

Maybe uninstalling/reinstalling Wearables rather a reset. Sounds like another Samsung bug.
Lol, this N10+'s load is over 2 yo now. Androids should rarely need to be factory reset. One reason I like them so. Also why I avoid upgrades and updates once I have a fast, stable load.

If you have a Samsung account you can actually back up your watch and all its data just like a phone and when you set up the watch again you can choose to recover from the backup. Its in your watch settings on the wear app.

The Galaxy Watch4 Manager app stores the pairing key. If you uninstall it or delete its app data, you'll have to factory reset the watch to pair with your phone (or any device) again.

That backup is a useless thing. It only backups up your Quick Settings layout and a handful of System Settings. It doesn't backup any of the downloaded watch faces. And it doesn't backup watch configurations either.

Well, that's bad design. I thought it did a full backup, must've imagined that. My apologies.
Seems like the faces and their data are stored in the apps themselves. I was checking on that the other day and I would download 10 faces and go check the info under storage for the app and it would keep getting bigger in size. So, my question is how do you back up the app but not have it backup the apk instead. I can't even locate the physical app anywhere on the phone to try and back it up. Are the super top secret hidden or something? I'm stock android and have no way to root my phone. Has to be a way to at least do that right? Anyone?

See if SmartSwitch can back it up. Do Not use SmartSwitch to backup critical data though. It can be used to back Homepage and apps as well. Otherwise you will need to reload them.
There maybe a way using adb.
Always redundantly backup critical data including contacts to at least two hdds (copy/paste folders) that are physically and electronically isolated from each other and the PC. Otherwise you will likely lose the data eventually.

I'll give it a shot. I have a small raid set up that I use only for my phone well, because it is small and not useful for much else. Thanks.

I would use multiple hdds that are isolated from each other so a near lightning strike, fire, trojan, whatever can't wipe out all the copies at once.
