[Q] Strange behavior post memory reset - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I had a bunch of crap on my INC and decided to do a factory reset to clear everything out.
The system deleted all apps and user data and rebooted. Things were looking good.
The system was S-OFFed using UnrEVOked Forever, Rooted has the ClockWorkMod ROM manager installed, etc. Running the posted ROM that VZW pushed out as the Froyo OTA update (I manually ran it and it updated from 2.1 flawlessly).
I have been installing apps back onto the device and I am now getting strange App failure issues on the INC. I installed Advances Task Killer and sometimes it runs fine and other times it fails miserably and I have to force close the app. Rom Manager and several other apps - same thing - RoboDefense runs for a few minutes then fails.....none of this was happening prior to the reset.
Anyone have any ideas or guesses? I'll nuke the device again if I have to.
Thx
Ron

Market not Working (after froyo upgrade)...

I have been using the same old Fresh Evo rom from basically day one since I've had my evo when it first came out... Yesterday I decided it was finally time to upgrade from 2.1 to a 2.2 rom - so I downloaded the latest Fresh Rom 3.5.0.1 which worked fine except that I couldn't add my google account for the life of me. It wouldn't take when phone first booted up, or by manually launching the Market app either, didn't matter if it was via 3G or WiFi (and I checked and double checked and confirmed that data was working on both just fine!).
So I spend an hour googling around & find out about the YouTube app trick, so I sign in through that, and I'm in! Now when I go to Settings > Accounts & Sync, I see my Google account has been added. I can sync my gmail, contacts, and calendar. I thought all was good...
But now when I run the Market app I get the following: Attention - "A server error has occurred. Retry, or cancel and return to the previous screen." ...If I hit 'retry' it just shows the same stupid error & 'cancel' kicks me out to home screen. When I load GTalk it tries to load but just kicks me to the home screen...
Frustrated, I went on a rom flashing spree (before each flash I do a "Wipe data/factory reset" & "wipe cache" & "wipe dalvik-cache")... I installed the previous version of Fresh 3.4.0.1 (also froyo) and no dice. I then flashed the most recent 2.1 Fresh rom which was v1.0.1 (pre froyo) and it WORKED! So then I flashed back to the latest Fresh 3.5.0.1 but still have the same issues. I then flashed Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo RLS5 (which is a dope rom btw) but I am STILL getting the same stupid issues... Flashed back to Fresh rom v1.0.1 and of course that works... but it seems anything with Froyo doesn't work!
The EXACT same thing is happening to another Evo I also updated yesterday as well. So I know it's not a problem specific to just the ONE phone...
I'm stumped. Any ideas? I've tried clearing the cache for the Market app, I've done a factory reset via "Settings > SD & Phone Storage > Factory Data Reset", I've used a completely different & freshly formatted microSD card, I've enabled 'mock locations', I've ensured 'background data' was checked... I've even done the adb commands from geekfor.me/new-release/fresh-evo-3501/ with no luck...
This is driving me nuts!
Dam.
That sucks well did you upgrade from the push that sprint sent? I know that 3. 5.1 work for me. I pick up my evo on june 4th night
Device: HTC EVO 4G OS=2.2 ROM=Calkulin's EViO 2 v1.7.5 [email protected]#15 Hardware=0002 Software=3.70.651.1 BaseBand=2.15.00.11.19 Brower=Webkit 3.1 PRI= 1.90_003/60672
I've always done my updates manually... I have a 3rd evo that doesn't have this problem that I recently updated to Fresh 3.5.0.1 and it's working just fine. But it wasn't a launch phone, and after rooting, the first rom I flashed to it was a 2.2 based Fresh rom anyway...
Still racking my brain on this... I recently tried flashing this blue version of the market update @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=888330 - thought I'd give it a shot but I'm still having the same issues.
I've also flashed latest MIUI, EViO, SteelROM... no luck. If I don't do the YouTube trick, the Market will give me the following error: "Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server". But the funny thing is I am able to load webpages both prior & after trying to sign in with my google account. And then if I do the YouTube trick, again I am able to add my google account, but whenever I access the market it shows the error I mentioned in my first post...
I'm having this same problem..I haven't flashed a new market yet so I'll be trying that next.
Did you ever solve this issue?
Edit: Flashing new market didn't work, said instalation was aborted...I'm thinking cause it's for 2.3 GB and I'm on Froyo
Also, just to note, I had to do the youtube login trick in order to get my google accounts to sync
Same problem. This sucks.
I don't know if this would have much to do with it, but have you upgraded your radio? I know that most of the 3.70 based roms (the majority of newer roms) require a minimum radio version. I believe there is a post in the development section with all the radio files. Be sure you have your wimax partition backed up before you flash though, just to be in the safe side.
Sent from my PC36100.
i had a similar problem a while ago and what helped me was uninstalling the market with titanium backup, then going to settings/apps/manage apps/ and clearing the data from the market, then i downloaded the stock market, it was a while ago so i don't remember where i found the thread to the stock market download. but after doing that my market began working again

[Q] CM7 Issue

I've been following the CM7 nightly builds on my Incredible with no issues at all, I love it.
The problem I've been having is my girlfriend has an incredible as well and wanted to try out CM7. Rooted her phone no problem, installed the free copy of ROM manager (I have the paid, was wondering if maybe thats where the issue was coming into play) and dropped the latest nightly onto her SD Card.
When I install the ROM manually through recovery (wiped both dalvik and cache first) the ROM gets to the CM7 logo and then just sticks there, looping the logo over and over.
I restore the backup of sense, then install the ROM via Rom Manager's "Install ROM from SD Card" option, choose to wipe data and cache and it installs and boots no problem..or so it seems at first.
Even after repeated attempts at installing there are a lot of random issues that I never ran into at all. Every time she'll have a few contacts missing, and the bigger issue - she can't launch Facebook or any apps that have Facebook (Tweetdeck etc) they just force close instantly. Many other apps seem to just force close at random as well.
I installed CM6.1 just to see if it had any similar issues but it went smooth. I've run out of ideas so any suggestions would be appreciated.
Once it boots up, go into rom manager and fix permissions.

First, how long did was the boot animation going for CM7? My first install of CM7 took anywhere between 5-10 minutes of the logo looping (shocked the mess out of me cuz I never sat so long for a load). Maybe giving another nightly a try and waiting out the initial boot will resolve all issues. Personally, I flash rom's manually and have had little to no issues.
Second, maybe this was a specific nightly issue. I was running nightly #31 then switched to #36 and both ran perfectly. Try reflashing the rom and wiping everything again. Also, if your contacts ARE NOT stored under her gmail account this may be the reason you observe missing contact. All her contacts linked to her gmail should instantly reinstall each time you flash a rom/nightly/etc.

Duplicated apps after Gingerbread install.

Hi all
I downloaded Gingerbread on my Desire HD at the weekend. After playing around with it for a while I thought I would do a full Factory Data Reset to get it like it like a brand new phone with Gingerbread. Later on I downloaded the Google maps updates again only to find that the phone for some reason seems to have duplicated the Google Navigation apps and the Places apps.
Anybody know how to I can get rid of the xtra apps??
Try restarting the phone. I had this problem before but solved after restarting my phone.
Assuming your rooted, use and something like android commander or QtADB to uninstall the duplicated apps. Provided of course that a simple reboot didn't sort the issue out.
No, sorry its not rooted.

Internet browser crashing every 3 minutes on CM10 and how to OTA update?

Sorry I have two questions - I am new to the ROM deal and have tried for, literally, hours to figure this out. I installed CM10 stable and my browser would crash every 3 minutes while using it. Thus, I downloaded the OTA and installed that and the same deal happened.
Is there any fix to getting the browser working right? I've tried Chrome too - same deal.
Also, for OTA updates, nightlies etc, do I have to wipe davlik and cache, just davlik or cache, or neither? I've heard conflicting stuff. I've already backed up apps and certain system stuff on titanium backup. I have TWRP installed, I don't think I am using clockwork even that I had flashed that too. When I go into recovery it shows TWRP.
Thanks
Browser crashes seem to be common on most Android devices since last Saturday:

I have the same problem.

M8 Marshmellow updated - some issues.

I flashed the Wolla v2.5 MRA58K.H6 with TWRP and had some questions/issues. The camera kept on force closing, even though on other apps it worked just fine. I occasionally have a "android system has stopped working" warning as well. Also, I was expecting the full wipe to wipe all the internal storage as well, but I don't believe it did?
Wanting to install the newest ROM but wondering if there is a way to easily back up all apps and such - it took a long time to get it up and running at this level and don't want to go through it again. Thoughts?
Try using Titanium Backup to back up your apps and data. Personally, I use a combination of SMS Super Backup for my SMS/Call logs and Titanium for my apps.
I'm using Wolla v3.5 GPE right now and everything is great except for some strange reboot/bootloop every time I open up Snapchat. Uninstalling the app seemed to have solved the issue, but I still want to be able to use it... It's probably to do with the new camera API.
I'll give that a try. What's the difference between 2.5 & 3.5?
Updated to 3.5 and wiped it all.
Everything is working well except the system will not let me install chrome, why I do not know. I've tried downloading from the app store, both normal and beta, and every time it force closes. I've tried having it install from on my computer through google play and it force closes. I've downloaded the apk and allowed install from unfamiliar sources and it will get to the install page, and say app not installed. What gives?
Also, it seems all of my internal folders have been wiped clean - this means when I open the M8's internal storage on my computer, there are no folders; no download, no dcim, nothing. Any advice on what's happening here?
Solved both issues using [this solution](http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2684384). Internal memory was set to read only.
