[Q] GMail broken (but only up, not down)

My GMail stopped working today. It happened spontaneously, several hours after my most recent ZIP flash so I don't think it's related.
Basically I can get mail no problem but anything that requires sending data up to the server (sending mail, archiving or deleting mail) do not work. I've rebooted and I've done a nand restore with no effect.
Regular GMail is working fine so I don't think it's a temporary server issue. Any ideas?
Edit: Try going to settings > applications > manage > all > gmail > force stop then clear data/cache. Worked for me. Thanks to TeknoJnky.

Same.
Sent from a telegram.

I have the same problem, but only when I have the wifi on.

Wifi on or off, still not working this morning. WTF?

Completely at a loss here. Did another nand restore and didn't work. I could do a stock reset but I don't see how that would fix anything since I did a restore to before the problem showed up.
Any ideas would be more than welcomed.

It's frustrating.

Just tested, it's working for me right now.

Zzelinka, have you flashed anything recently? What are you running? Installed any apps recently?
I'm running Stock deodexed 3.29. Yesterday I flashed transparent notification bar and circle battery icon, but did a nand restore to before that and it didn't fix it. Don't think I've flashed anything for several days before that.
Last app I've installed was MP3 Music Download, but was several days ago....
Only running System Panel in the background....
So I have no idea. Grrrrr

You rock. Cache was empty but cleared data, and after a few hiccups trying to get GMail to start up again, it works. Thanks, this was driving me c-r-a-z-y.

[Q] Is there a way to stop the market from restoring all your apps after reflash?

It's pretty annoying when I flash new ROMS the market restores all my apps, even ones I installed a long time ago.

I think you're looking for Settings > Privacy > Automatic Restore.

EDIT: (FIXED!)[QUESTION] Titanium backup Pro not registering apps!

Last week I backup my apps and after it finished it said I had zero apps. I updated busybox and superuser still no go. Anyone have this happen to them before? This Is the first time this has happened to me. I even tried uninstalling and reinstalling. I'm on cm7 with savagegen kernel. Thanks!
Edit FIX: Just in case anyone runs to this problem down the road.
Titanium developer e-mailed me back. Best thing to do is to delete the Titanium Backup folder within the sd card root and that's it! (You can use any file explorer, I used Astro).

I have had it once....try running the problems then reboot.
This epic reply brought to you by none other than my roxx'd out Evo.

Thanks, I'll give this a shot!

no work

Try "refresh apps list" from menu. If that doesn't work, find Titanium Backup in "Manage Applications" in Settings (not the Pro key) and clear data.

That is done from settings > applications > manage applications > [scroll] > then clear data for the app.

Thanks for the reply guys. Tried the refresh and clear data under settings, still nothing.

i would try a different version of TB 3.7.4 is the one i last updated that worked flawlessly, non of the more recent ones worked as good for me

Try pressing Menu > Filters, then click Clear then Apply.

Wiping data for the app should've done that, as should reinstalling, but it wouldn't hurt.
If you need an older version check the TB website, you can find it on the market page. You can also try emailing the dev, he's helpful and may have some insight into your problem.
Aside from one version a couple of updates back, I've had zero problems with the app. I do know that one update required you to update the pro key as well, but I don't know if the older version requires the older key or if either will work.

I tried the menu and filters and no go.
Also tried installing an older version, from the link on the developer's site. Didn't work, I'll try e-mailing the developer again. Thanks for the help everyone.

Android market download problems solved :)

This was a big problem for me, and I wasted many many hours trying to solve the problem of the android market, that didn't donwload, update or install anytnhig.
But i found the solution in a forum and my market is working fine now
Epsilonbass from droid forums.net:
"Connect your phone to your computer, set in usb mass storage mode. Look for a hidden folder called ".android_secure" and then delete the file "smdl2tmp1.asec". Unmount and you should be good to go."
And all is working

I don't have smdl2tmp1.asec in that folder

Are you referring to the problem of random things being considered "not compatible" for your phone?

Yeah if you are talking new market (version 3.x) the problems go deeper than that.
Custom dpi (lcd density) causes the incompatible problem.
I went back to market 2.3.6

You don't understand how much I have tested to try to find the reason behind it. I was going to test that tomorrow morning. It's always the last thing.

Is there a way to force the app to download regardless of screen density? My Desire is showing more and more apps as incompatible because I use a density of 200 instead of 240... don't really feel like changing back just for an app install or two.

i solved this problem by clearing data , cache , uninstalling update of Market and rebooting my phone

Thankfully I have a backup of 2.3.6, which appears to be the last version that is even remotely usable.
I regularly have to restore 2.3.6 in order to update an app. Of course after a while the Market updates itself to the latest 3.x version (thanks for that). Usually things work for a while after this update, but eventually there will be an app update that either can't be installed (no install option) or that is flagged as not being available in my country (even though it's already installed. So I have to restore 2.3.6 again and the cycle continues...
I use the default LCD density and clearing the Market cache and data doesn't help.
Bottom line, Market 3.x is just plain buggy.

Google is really messing up with this.

If you use titanium backup you can freeze "market updater" to put an end to that.

Does that just prevent the Market from being updated or does it also stop apps from being updated? I'm assuming it's only the Market. Anyway I'll try it and see what happens, thanks.

Thanks for that suggestion, but the previous suggestion to freeze the market updater is a good solution for me.

No such file, either with computer, or terminal app, or rooted explorer.
But I've finally managed to get rid of this bug, deleting Market data with Titanium Backup, as I could only delete cache in Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > All Applications > Android Market (which was not enough).

My friend was getting "purchase canceled" error for free apps on Archos honeycomb tablet.
Market version was 1.x but looked like no market I have ever seen. We installed the 3.1.5 from my thunderbolt over his tablet version, and now he can download again.

With the new market not able to update or download new applications.
Wiping market data only tempararily allows downloads.
Marker 2.3.6 is only working.
To prevent auto update, delet or rename marketupdater.apk
It solved my problem.
But, why can't we use the new version?

Downgrade Flash 11 to flash 10.3

If anybody is still having trouble getting video to play after the latest flash update from 10.3 to 11 just uninstall 11 and download 10.3 from here:
link
It works just like it did before, any moderators if we have another Thread like this one laying around please feel free to deleted but I didn't see one
if you use Dolphin browser and is not working for you try the following:
Use root explorer(any other root explorer is fine) to go into Data > Data > Find Browser folder > App_plugins > com.adobe.flashplayer> .macromedia > flashplayer > Long press config.data > permissions > uncheck all the boxes.

its working now. Thanks

Im glad is working for you

Sorry for noob questions, but
Does this require root to accomplish? Can I use this file to upgrade from 10.2 flash to 10.3?
I only ask because I'm new to the Inc2 having come from DX where I could drop apks into a directory and install from there. Inc doesn't seem to let me do that. And no, I'm not rooted, my Inc2 came with 2.3.4.

nope no root require just unistall the 10.2 version thru applications -> manage apps and install the 10.3
