I am running incubus rls12 froyo. All apps are force closing if you try to start them. Any ideas or is it a wipe and start again. They did work at the beginning when I put this build on, now they don`t... Any Ideas....
The market problem might be from the app itself. I had similar issue with older releases of CyanogenMod 6 Kaiser
I noticed that some of the apps that you download from the market stop working after sometime (7-10 days)
In my experience, the best thing to do is to get these apk files, put them in the "app" folder of the androidinstall archive then do a fresh install.
I did not get into the same issue with apps installed in this way
Hope this helps

Last night I downloaded an app from the market: Anttek App Manager. I didn't really need it, I just came across it & it seemed like a good program that I could use to replace a couple of other apps.
I opened up the program & didn't do anything. I did grant it superuser permissions when it opened, but did nothing else except browse through & get a feel for the interface.
Suddenly I was having a force close party all over the screen. Market, maps, settings, homescreen, anything system was force closing. I tried opening settings to uninstall the app but it force closed immediately. Tried with Market, same result. I could get into user apps to uninstall but when it tried to uninstall through the system uninstaller it would force close. I finally uninstalled through Titanium Backup. I was still getting force closes so I rebooted. After the reboot I could open system apps again. I checked my apps in settings & the app was gone from he downloaded tab but remained under the all tab. I uninstalled again. I checked through root explorer & it wasn't there, but in protected apps there was a downloadfile.apk that was timestamped with when I rebooted. I emailed it to myself to check out later if needed & deleted the file.
What do you guys think? Was it just something buggy that I'm blowing out of proportion or is it something to worry about?
Edit: I'm running cyanogenmod 6.1.2 if it matters.
I honestly dont know if it was something malicious or not. I had an issue when I downloaded an app (Don't remember what it was) and it downloaded 300+ downloadfile.apk. As you probably guessed it filled up my sd card. In my case I found it prudent to do a complete wipe and reflash my ROM. I set everything back up and havent had any more issues.
I would probably wipe and start over or Nandroid back to before you downloaded the app. Just my opinion...
Yeah, I think I'm just going to restore from a backup. I just don't want to have to reflash my theme & font, but it doesn't take that long, I'm just lazy.
I was wondering if there's anyway a virus could go deeper than what is changed by wiping/flashing/restoring? I'm somewhat technologically literate but when it comes to the deep down stuff I'm lost.
Hi guys! I'm having problems with the market for a week now. Some apps just won't update, or install. For instance; Layar and LinkedIn, I just updated a few minutes ago. Cordy and Stupid Zombies, I've been trying to update them for a few days. It downloads them, then says it can't install them. Now the last two apps are installed on my SD-card, first two aren't. However, when I transfer Stupid Zombies to my phone memory, same thing. So the problem probably doesn't lie with the SD-card, as doing other things on my SD-card gives no problems.
I still have enough memory left to install the apps, 722MB on my phone, 6,4GB on the SD-card.
What have I tried?
Reboot
Deinstall app, install it again. That failed horribly, I can't install the Pinball game anymore
Clear Market cache
Clear Market cache & force close
Take out the SD-card, put it back in + reboot
Try to download via 3G instead of Wifi
Someone told me to try and log in to Google Talk, as it is somehow linked to the market
Logging into the Market from my phone browser
Is there anything else I can do before resorting to a factory reset? I'm on a non-rooted, stock 1.72 Desire HD.
I've the same problem, i try the factory reset also didn't work...
What happened when you went to recovery -> Advanced -> Clear Dalvik-cache?
I am unable to install apps from the market. I can access the market and select the apps but all I get is starting downloads which doesn't change even if I leave for hours. I have WI-FI enabled and can access the web with no problems. Here is what I have tried already.
Clear Data in Downloader,
Clear Data and Cache in market
Factory reset
Flashed to CyanogenMod 7
and I still cannot download any apps.
If you have s-off you could try deleting the market.apk file and then reinstalling from a non market source? If you search xda I'm sure I remember several threads about this.
I had this problem a few times. Have you recently changed your Gmail (If you use Gmail) address from @googlemail to @gmail? This is what caused the problem for me and many others...

I never did work out what was causing the problem. I installed CyanogenMod 7 and all is work again.
Yea, sometimes just a reflash fixes the problem. I also found that, sometimes, the download would just finish but never actually install - almost as if the .apk downloaded but the Market Process just never actioned the new .apk to open, so it just sat in /cache until the next reboot, doing nothing.
log in to google talk...i think that should solve the issue.
Hi,
I tried to install Angry Birds Space last week, the download and installation seemed to complete normally, however once the installation was complete the app wasn't present and the memory the game uses (~24mb) was gone. I tried again the day after and the same thing happened. So I'm now down 48mb of RAM and my phone has started to freeze as there's only ~ 1mb of RAM free. I tried to uninstall the apps in the Manage Applications section but they don't seem to be listed there. Is there anyway I can find where these files are stored and delete them? I've already had to do a factory reset on my Desire twice in the 21 months I have it, I don't particularly want to do it again.
Thanks!
it happened to me too, are still with stock 2.3 (or 2.2) rom?
Best thing I could do was root and flash another rom, and it's really worthed
I'm still on 2.2. Did the same thing happen to you with Angry Birds Space or just in general?
No, I cannot rememeber what I was triyng to install (it was in dec!), and surely, that time, I had just applied the 2.3 offical update for desire (which btw is really awful).
Another thing you can do of course is uninstalling most of your app so that you sort of "clean" your memory, checking if any folder related to these app is really deleted from your sd (you can check in the system directory too, but I don't think you can delete folders without superuser permission). Then try to re-install everything.
Anyway, the suggestion is still the same: try a new rom
You probably just have to clear the cache of the market app, or you can use something like this to clear the cache of all apps
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.infolife.cache
If that doesn't work you can try to clear /data/local/download, that's where the market stores its downloads IIRC (don't know if you can clear it without root though)
Had the same problem. (Not with the same app as you have) but clearing the market cache did the trick for me

Plzz if someone can help me.....i m even ready to pay for this..but only mobile recharge ..since its very difficult for me to solve and i require it to be solved badly..
So here is the problem..
I was almost having 450 apps installed on touchwiz or aosp based rom but whenever i m running them on touchwiz rom their are some apps which force close at some fixed point* which is majorly at a point where such app has to access whole list of apps, like if say permission master it access whole lost of apps than while accessing it force stop & some other apps also like my most impt. App caclubindia it force close when i login into it...these apps does not force close when only they are installed...but whenever some more apps are installed they start giving fc...
I tried many things like xposed may be giving error...trying unrooting phone...and tons of things but i m never able to find out the reason....please if any 1 can help me in fixing this bug...1stly what is causing these apps force close...and than fixing it ..i m really frustrated...tried changing 9 10 touchwiz roms...all at some point start giving these errors..but there is no problem on aosp based rom....can someone help me plz...i m ready to pay him for such help...bcoz now i cant live without my fav.

450 apps seem to be too much. It could be that your data partition and cache are nearing full. Also I would like to see a screenshot of the apps usage details-
Settings / Applications / Application Manager / All Applications where the phone reports available memory.
See Screenshot I have posted for you.
You can get a micro-sd card. Partition it and use Link2Sd to install applications on the sd card.
Just install the most needed & priority apps first and see if get force closes. If no, proceed to install the remaining in batches (of say 25 apps per time). If you do fine, proceed until you find the misbehaving app.
Touchwiz needs more space than AOSP Roms so maybe your phone is not getting enough memory.

Thank you for showing some interest in the query....and i m absolute sure that not a problem of storage/memory....now this problem has become universal for me...even if around 100 apps are installed they start giving fc.....internal storage even if around 450 apps are installed...is free around 3-4 gbs. And cache etc is also not full...even ram usage i examined not a problem there..any help...??? Is their anyway for me to find out what is the reason behind fc's or any help from ur side ???
Frequent force closes mean files are corrupt some where.
I would recheck the md5sum of Rom before flashing. But you are saying that the issue has persisted over multiple Roms.
I would take a backup, reflash, start from scratch and install all the apps one by one again restoring only the core data which is really important.
But you can try by fixing permissions through the recovery and see if any luck from there. Also clear the cache & dalvik after fixing permissions.
