Market problems?

Alright I have no clue what's going on here... My market isn't opening at all, it's not even force closing, it just automatically closes. Here's the scary thing, this even happens after flashing a recovery that's known to work fine. I have reinstalled gapps, I've wiped data via TB, I have tried everything I can think of to fix this and the market still closes. I have no clue what to do. Help? TIA
And I just tried going to market.android.com to see if that works and it now says I don't have any phones connected to my account (this feature has worked fine before)

This happened to me last night. It happened to me after I did a full wipe and flash of build 35, so I nandroided back and did a nowipe flash of build 35, and it oddly worked fine. Try using an earlier build, I would say 33/34 and before.

Alright, I'll try that tomorrow (currently studying for an insane strength of materials exam) and see if it works. BTW, this happened shortly after I flashed the latest CM nightly. Shortly after (about 10 minutes) two things happened: I got an error saying google talk couldn't be authenticated and then the market wouldn't open (although I downloaded and installed a few things before that with the same rom).

I hadn't tried google talk when I had the issue so I don't know. Do you by any chance have custom mtd partitions, say, with a 1.5 mb /cache?

Nope, stock partitions

Hmm. Some market issues were caused by a practically nonexistent cache partition. It's probably just a bug, I would try earlier builds or restoring a nandroid or something. It'll get resolved before it's released as a release candidate I'm sure.

Well here's the thing, right now I'm on build 23 which has been very stable for me. This problem happened on build 37 and then I nandroided back to this backup and its doing the same thing. I'm going to try to flash without wiping data and see if that works

That's incredibly strange. Maybe it's something going on with google's systems. Try flashing cm6.1.1 stable and see if the market works there, then wipe and flash build 23 again and see if it does it. If it still does it, check to see if the market auto updated, go to settings>applications>manage applications>all apps tab, scroll to market, and see if there are updates to it. If so, press uninstall updates. I read about a week ago that the market had an update that broke functionality, but it was only supposed to affect 1.6 devices, not 2.1+. Weird.

FIXED! Here's what I did:
Full wipe
Reflashed build 37
signed in as [email protected]!!! I was lazy and only put my username, which was not linked to the market, so it had no clue what to do when I tried signing in to the market. That was all. Just an FYI to fix this you MUST run the start procedure again, that's the only way to fix this.
What a pain in the butt...

Nevermind, I restarted and it came back... weird. It might have to do with TB, actually, because it didn't happen until I restored my TB backup... Looks like I'm going to have to start over in the world of android.. oh well

Just wiped and flashed 37 and everything's working find.

Oh wait, something's not working fine, the market.android.com site is officially not working for my phone anymore. It sucks because it's MUCH faster than accessing it on the phone

That site has never worked for me. I click install on my PC and NOTHING ever happens on my phone. Took it for completely useless and nonfunctional

Yeah it's not a big deal, as long as I can still download apps and use chrome-to-phone I'm good (oh and gmail... geez if that was down I don't know what I'd do, lol). Thanks for your help regardless!

Chrome to phone hasn't worked for me since cm6 :/
In fact, I'm experiencing battery drain and the broken download manager is beginning to get to me so I MAY go back to cm6 for a few days but it's just so irresistible to stay on cm7 with the added features and such. Plus I don't feel like redoing my settings.

Market issue??

Is it just me, or is the market not downloading? It seems like ever since this morning, when I go into the market and try to download something, it starts then quickly go away and doesn't download. Same with updates. Is it just my phone, or is it the market itself? I've restarted my phone and everything and still no change.

[Q] phone dialer keeps coming up on its own...

hey guys.
what could cause the phone/dialer to open up on its own?
for example, when I install a new app and lookout scans it, the dialer opens. every once in a while for no reason, the dialer opens. when the phone first boots up, the dialer opens.
this used to happen before with an earlier rom I had and I don't remember how/what fixed it.
any ideas where to start looking?

Making my helpful rounds . Try getting rid of lookout first. I'm willing to bet you its the culprit.

i've had Lookout since last year and this was not happening. i'm 100% its something to do with an apk...maybe even the phone .apk itself as i changed it out with a custom one made by JsChiSurf...
i'll look into it when I get a chance. in the meantime, any other suggestions welcome!

Ahhh gotcha. You're using a custom phone apk mod? Did it start after you started using it?
~ d3rk

no progress so far guys.
first I uninstalled LookOut and continued using my custom .apk. there was no change. the phone dialer kept coming up on its own. mostly when a new program is installed.
so then I removed the phone.apk and htcdialer.apk files and replaced them with the stock rom files. also left LookOut uninstalled. the original dialer would still come up when a new program was installed.
I've sinced re-installed LookOut and no change :-(
any other ideas?
i'm confident it's got to be an app or service that's running that causes it to bring up the dialer...but which one?

I can't help with the problem, but suspect something recently installed is causing this behavior.
My strategy for testing new apps is to always make a backup image first. Over the course of a week, I'll acquire a list of apps that may be of use. One evening a week, after backing up, i'll start installing these apps. Phone will get used for a few days. If no ill effects, I leave things as is, otherwise the backup gets restored, and I try to figure out what caused the issue.
You could try flashing the rom zip for the current rom ontop of itself. If anything in /system got changed, this will take care of it.

I think I narrowed it to Voicemail Notifier, which I need for voicemail notifications (I'm on metropcs)...
lets see if it doesn't happen anymore!

I am having the same problem with my EVO flashed to Mobi PCS using Voicemail Notifier. This seems to have fixed it: go to the Voice Dialer Preferences and uncheck :"Dial Voicemail"

actually you have a virus on your mobile and you have never noticed. lmao! what you need is a factory reset. then upgrade to 2.3 OTA. everything will start working again. LOL!!!!
okay, so maybe not do the OTA. lol
As a reminder. one of our Roms we use are made by people in china. I don't trust china people. They can all jump off a tall building or bridge. you know, like what they did in WW2. When they were brain washed that we were evil people. lmao. when in fact they are the evil ones. They do internet attack at us all the time. They also hire people to act like they are normal people making mods that secretly put code in our phones to monitor our communications. also, maybe to install DOS attack scripts to take down our own american based networks.
You all know I'm right. :-D
ps. I know everyone on here is laughing their ass off right now. as I am writing this. But who knows. it could be true. :-D

[Q] my Epic process problem

along with the android.process.acore issue im getting a slew of other errors. cant make any calls, cant load any contacts or messages. Im on SFR 2.1 everything was working fine earlier today, I cant think of anything I did to cause this. Im super stressed, iv searched around, people say to re-flash the phone... that makes me nervous.. what should i do? any help is much appreciated.

Sounds like data corruption. Are you journaled? Did you have an abrupt power off of the phone?

If you have a recent nandroid backup, restore it from cwm. If not, you will need to reflash the rom.

no im not journaling at all, the phone has been on all day untill I recived the errors. I tried to restore my phone using CWM and now I can get to my contacts but im still having gapps crash n stuff. idk what to do, i wana go back to stock and take this damn phone to the sprint store.

I doubt it's a hardware issue, sounds like data corruption potentially caused by lack of journaling an unstable undervolt/overclock or a combination of the two. Reflash your ROM of choice, and turn on journaling (if it's not already). It's a slight performance hit, but well worth it. Honestly the only time you'd even notice a difference is during a benchmark, these phones are plenty fast enough.

so I just re-flashed my phone... all my wonderful apps are gone.. all those high scores..everything. Im so sick of this phone.

It's your own fault. At least learn from it, utilize apps like titanium backup to backup apps and settings, make weekly NAND backups and enable journaling so it is unlikely to happen again.

I just had that happened to me about two hrs ago an don't know waht to do. It seem like my epic won't read my sd card and titanium back up and all my other apps are in there! I lost my google, facebook, clock, and almost everything force closes!!! Any help out there???

Bad flashing can happen on any phone. You would have had the same problem with journaling off on any phone. You can return this phone and still flash yourself into force close hell on a different phone. You aren't using Android right, it's not the Epic.

[Q] Most stable ROM with no FC's (

Hi guys,
I'm new to the Samsung Epic 4g and looking for the most stable ROM that's available. Here's why:
This phone does not belong to me. I dated this girl for a few months and before I broke up with her, I told her she should let me root her phone. She did (we put on the ACS Frozen ROM) and she loved it, until a few weeks later it started giving her "Google Services Frameworks" Force closing errors.
Problem was, we had broken up. Because she doesn't know anyone else that knows how to root phones and put on ROMs, she has very awkwardly called me up every few weeks and asked me to fix her phone—because her phone is my responsibility now!
What I'm looking for is the ROM that won't have any FC's and that I won't have to touch for at least another six months. Her stock ROM was no good either (which is why she wanted me to root the phone), fwiw.
I have a Mac and tried the Heimdall method but that didn't seem to work. Basically, I want to be done messing with her phone so I don't have to hang see her again! It was a bad breakup.
Any advice greatly appreciated! I need to flash by tonight.

Re flash and turn journaling on. Should keep her away for a while
Posted from my pedo van.

Honestly if you broke up and don't want to deal with it just go to stock. Otherwise you are on the hook forever. When gb goes ota guess who she calls. Just put it back to stock.

This^^^^^^^^ and go to settings>applications>manage applications>all and scroll to Google Services Framework, click it and hit clear data. Show this to her and tell her any app that FCs can be fixed this way and walk away. Unless you want to also teach her how to do a nand backup and restore to really be able to walk away.

Thanks guys. I actually ended up bricking the phone with Heimdall-the USB port on my IMac couldn't recognize the phone and all hell broke loose after that-so she and I are splitting the cost of a Nexus S.
At least I have her off my back now. Thanks again for the advice.
