Apps won't update - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I want to know if anyone else is having this issue. I got alerts on several different occasions that updates were available for some of my apps. When I try to update them, they download but they fail to install. Is there a fix for this or what?

maybe clear cache for the market..... that way it has to relaod~

More than likely you installed a theme and the apps might not be signed. Uninstall the apps then attempt to download from market again

[Q] Updating built in apps (unrooted)

Hey,
I'm running the HTC sense UI, that came with my phone, which I haven't rooted.. And I would like to know if anyone could tell me how can I update programs that came preinstalled..? Because they don't show up in the market, and I would like the new updated google maps, that just came out.. in settings->about->system software update I've tried checking for updates, but still nothing..
Thanks for any help you can provide me
Yeah sometimes the market doesn't detect the apps that are already installed on my phone. I usually just click install even if it doesn't say update. Have you tried just installing the Google Maps application from the market? I believe the updated version came out yesterday.

Sometimes the market doesn't detect all of my apps as well... The fix is to clear the market cache!
clearing market cache didn't do it.. and oh well.. now i can't even find the maps on the market anymore.. so who knows what's going on ..
This happens to me too on every single ROM I've tried (stock, Cyanogen, Virtuous). There's always several apps that the market doesn't detect me as having, but the one that always seems consistent is Maps. I generally just install Maps from the market manually. This puts an extra Maps applicaton in the /data folder even though Maps already exists in the /system folder. Since I have a rooted device, I then manually delete the maps apk from the system folder.
Super simply fix. Just download aTrackdog by a0soft. It will detect every app you have installed and check to see if there are any updates. If there are you can download them either from the market or the developers website (if one exists). It will even track apps that aren't on the market, like Wireless Tether. And you don't need root for it. Should do the trick, hope it helps.

some progams will not update

Hopefully someone can help.. NEW market will not install or even download anything. I flashed OLD market and 99% of all apps download (some still say download failed right away), some will update no problem.. OTHERS will not . I look in catlog when the install of the update fails.. for instance I tried to update a program called SOUND HOUND.. it downloads but fails the install.
You see in CATLOG this error :
DexInv : --- END '/data/app/com.melodis.midomiMusicIdentifier-2.apk --- status=xff00, process failed
and also
dexopt failed on /data/dalvik-cache/[email protected]@com.
What does this mean and how to resolve? why do some apps update fine and others get this kind of error?
Well I think I fixed it. Old market is the only one that works. New one won't download or install. I had to erase davlik cache and then market data and goggle services framework data. It appears the new market has issues as there is a big discussion on the google market forum. Glad someone was able to send me the old market.
Oh yea. I also had to uninstall an app and then reinstall the same app from the market and it fixed the issue.

Market install issue (again)

I hope someone has found a solution as NO ONE from GOOGLE seems to respond when I sent a support request.. I have not been able to download ANYTHING from the NEW market APP. I tried deleting the android_Secure, looking for the temp file people talk about, deleting cache and data etc. I have since FLASHED the OLD MARKET back. NOW, some APPS will install and SOME updates to apps will install. OTHER APPS and OTHER UPDATES will not install with the "install unsuccessful" message and OTHER apps will try to update but the phone will restart.
I see this listed all over on different forums and I am hoping someone has found a solution. It appears it is a wide spread issue. last night I was able to download a program from the market called FULLHDMI but today I tried to download SPRINT TOTAL PROTECTION APP and it downloads but doesnt install. Then I tried to update FULLHDMI and that worked but another app update didnt and finally a third app update rebooted the phone.
What is going on and how to resolve?? There has to be some kind of fix.
Thanks ....
Dang... you are still having issues? I wish I could help you more man. I have told you all I know to do That sucks!

Error 110 when updating apps in the market.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a fix for this problem (note that I HAVE searched). When I try to update an app in the market I get "Unknown error during application install "-110""
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________
Problem fixed, for future reference, if you have this problem in the future just go to Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>Market> the hit Uninstall updates, clear cache and clear data (although clear data isn't really necessary it's just suggested).
I'm having the same problem, had to uninstall facebook because it keep syncing and wouldn't stop. So it would drain my battery really quick.
I used Rom Toolbox to remove HTCFacebook from the photo and tried installing facebook from the market and I got the 110 error message then tried installing it again and it installed but won't run.
IDK if this has something so do with Energy SensationXL Sense 3.5 Rom I have installed.
Your best bet is to clear cache and data from market app then restart phone. If that doesnt work you can reflash the same rom you have and repeat above mentioned proccess then see if it works

"Not Supported" message
I'm having an issue with the Market (Google Play): About 70% of the apps I look at in the Market tell me "Your device isn't compatible with this item".
At first I thought it was a botched ROM flash (tuesday -new beggining) so I did a full wipe & reloaded the same ROM; same issue (about 90% of apps gave that error).
I recently loaded Paradox II (the 3/05 release) and did a full wipe as directed (flashed the wipe util's that were posted). Before restoring any of my apps I checked the market for the paid ones I use that were installed while on the rooted factory ROM (like MyBackup Pro) and got the same message. Some of the apps that "weren't supported" when on the Tuesday ROM were all the sudden supported & downloadable.
I had all apps backed up with MyBackup Pro and installed just the apps (no settings) using the BusyBox option. Every app worked just fine & market links restored but when going to market to update one of the installed & working apps, it'd say not compatible.
Thinking this was a market issue, I uninstalled the updates, cleared data/cache, and installed various versions of Market (including the new one) that were talked about in other threads about Market errors... did not fix it.
When going to the Market on my computer and looking at apps that are installed or were installed pre-custom ROM, it has my SGH-T989 grayed out. I checked build.prop and couldn't see anything with the device identification that looked wrong.
This is preventing a lot of my installed apps to not be able to be updated... Any ideas as to what is causing this? Did I fubar something when doing the first custom ROM flash?
Here are some of the major apps that are saying they are incompatible:
Adobe Flash Player
Astrid Task
Documents to Go
Dolphin Browser HD
DropBox
MyBackupPro
SuperUser

Is there a list of these files anywhere that you know of? I ran in to an issue a while back on my G2x when doing something similar to this after a failed theme flash.
Under system/app I have marketupdater.apk but nothing else...
/data/app. Mine is called com.android.vending

Update on this issue...
I cleared the cache/data for Play Store, uninstalled updates, turned off data, cleared cache/data for Market, went through and deleted all Market related apps/folders:
data/data/com.android.vending (folder)
data/data/com.android.vending.updater (folder)
data/app/com.android.vending.apk
system/app/MarketUpdater.apk
system/app/vending.apk
- I reinstalled the last version of Market that was posted on goo then let it update to Play Store. This resulted in more apps being "compatible" but still had quite a few coming up as "incompatible" (that I had installed & knew worked on the GS2). After further research I found a scenario on another Samsung phone that the lowering the LCD Density caused this same issue. After setting it back to 240 & reinstalling the Market again, the issue was resolved...
I would love to lower the density again but don't want to mess up the Market. Does anyone know of a tweak that will allow this (I'm thinking a build.prop mod)?
