I've had three separate reports that a recent update has removed the Market from Desire owners phones.
I'm trying to find out what's going on... but at the same time wondering if anyone knows a way to put it back!
Anyone else?
Any ideas to replace it?
What update and what network?

Sorry, should have said.
Two Three users and one O2 that I know of so far, all receiving the 2.2 update and losing the Market.
(w00p @ Amiga 500's! I think we still have two in the house!)
This also happened to me on Vodafone. I had to restore to factory defaults, then update loaded automatically and all was ok. Only had phone a couple of days so not a problem for me.

Long story short, she loved the DINC 2, we bought her one (I have a DINC) and I rooted and all that crap to ditch the bloatware. That being said the other day she was in the menus and turning things off and I think she may have jacked with the Google framework. I can't sync her contacts, add a Google account, or access the market. I tried reflashing the ROM but without a wipe it looks hopeless. Is there an APK or something I can install in order to restore the functionality?
Thanks in advance.

That is actually a bug with the stock firmware. Happened to me several times. Go into manage applications and see that many things are greyed out. You need to factory reset. This is caused be deleted apps from the manage applications menu. Just happens randomly when doing that.

I noticed this happened on my friend's rhyme. If they factory reset will the issue still occur?

More than likely... I had to do a factory reset three different times on my Inc2 when it kept losing google related apps, rooting it solved those issues though
Flash a different ROM other than stock. Something's wrong with it. I lost my alarm.

So I called up Google about the problem I started recently having with Google wallet. I get the error message that the secure element stopped responding. Upon searching online the issue seems to still not to be resolved even with other officially supported devices. Google transferred me to Samsung rep who seemed to have never heard of the issue or received any guidance from her employer on steps to take towards a resolution. Her only idea seems to be for me to mail them my phone on the off chance that they might be able to fix it.
Has anyone else had this issue come up and either get it fixed or any other result?
I really wanted to try out Google wallet, but after this happened I am going to stay away unless they figure out how to fix it without replacement of my perfectly working brand new phone. The thought of being sent a refurbished phone as a replacement sickens me.

I'm really curious about this too. Used Google Wallet today and it's pretty cool. Then I lost my dialer while trying to add inverted gapps to Apex. I'd normally just flash another rom but I don't want to mess up that secure element. :-/
I'm guessing you did a factory reset.

You killed it! You murderer!
Seriously, it's dead Jim.
It self destructs if it thinks you are trying to tamper with it; a countermeasure to keep somebody from stealing your account info. Only solution is to RMA the phone under warranty.
Rma?
Through Samsung, Verizon or an insurance claim? I had a 1 chat session with Samsung (Complete waste of time)
It's dead, only way to fix it is to get a different replacement phone.
Glad I still have a backup of stock rooted thank you qbking tutorials.

Although I never saw a secure element error, my wallet was stuck at "initializing" forever. It happened after I wiped data to go to a newer build of AOKP. I hadn't heard about doing the reset from within the wallet app to prevent it. I've updated ROM's and flashed many times, as well as many factory resets since, and it still occurs.
Today I updated to the latest market release of wallet. It now walks me thru activation, but hangs at "Activating account" forever now instead. I'm sure they're all the same issue.
Now, I have some thoughts on this. Recently Titanium Backup added a new feature. After doing a "wipe data / factory reset" in CWM, you now get prompted when you open TiBackup, that the device ID has changed, and it asks if you want to restore back to a backed up one. If you choose yes, it immediately applies it and reboots. Now, since they just added this feature, I only have a recent one backed up. But I wonder if this isn't the whole problem? TiBackup says it's how apps recognize that they're installed on your specific device and it can break licenses etc.
I wonder if I had the device ID from when I first installed Wallet, if that's all i would need to fix this?
Thoughts?
I called Google and Samsung the result is that I have to send in my phone for repair, not a replacement.

And it hardly seems worth it for something silly like Google wallet. I'll just not even bother with it. The nfc still works and that's the important part.

My first post. Poked around for a couple hours now and can't find anything regarding my issue on XDA or anywhere else so here goes...
So after about a month, I finally got around to installing the OTA to, what I was under the impression of was, ICS 4.0.8 with Sense 4.0. The phone rebooted, did its thing and congratulated me on a successful install. The first thing I tried to do update my Gmail widget to a stack type widget, which I was told required 3.0 or higher. I then attempted to download and install an app which is compatible with 4.0 and later. This also failed. I then check software info under system settings and noticed my Android version was still 2.3.4. From what I can gather, the current Sense version is not stated anywhere in the Droid Incredible system info as it is on other HTC devices, but I doubt that this was updated either as I have seen 4.0s implementation on other HTCs and have noticed no discernible differences in my interface. I have since power cycled, pulled my battery and reprogrammed my phone but Android version still shows 2.3.4
My question is: was this OTA update actually for ICS and has failed to install properly on my device or have I completely misunderstood what the update was for? Perhaps some sort of firmware patch or build update. I was really looking forward to installing the Chrome browser. Any help or clarification on what has happened would be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance.

The dinc isn't getting an OTA of ICS. The new OTA was just a bug fixer. Here's what changed with the new OTA. http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...ncredible-has-a-small-ota-update-coming-soon/
There's quite a few ICS roms, not sure if Chrome works on all of them but I have used it on a few. Just my 2 cents, Chrome isn't ready for prime time yet, it's cool to have but not ready for daily use.
Dang, so no ICS w/o root. I guess it misinterpreted the update list. Suppose I'll be getting a new device sooner than I anticipated. Thanks for the clarification.
Not sure your situation but if you are on an unlimited plan and take a subsidized phone from Verizon, you will lose your unlimited.
Lots of good stuff on the dinc is out there by rooting. I couldn't imagine owning an unrooted phone. There's tons of info on here and people are more than willing to help you with the root process. Give it a thought. Good luck.
android 4.0.8?

I think what you saw was OTA 4.08.605.15 which I suppose you could have interpreted as being Android 4.0.8 but the OTA build number and android version are not the same at all. That being said, I would highly recommend rooting your phone using this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1506258
and then flashing one of the ROMs in this forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=638
There is so much developer support for this phone that it is posed to get JB soon (in fact, already has alpha builds) and already has several very stable ICS/CM9 Builds, I would recommend this ROM by mamarley which is a linaro optimized version of CM9/ICS:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1759007
Like I said, unless you are looking for more out of your phone in terms of hardware for instance if you want a front-facing camera or something then this phone is still great and very well supported by Devs and users alike - Don't give up on the dinc, just yet, it is the phone that will never die!!

I'm currently on a legacy VZW Agent plan with unlimited data under which I am told I must furnish my own equipment. I have a My Verizon account which tells me I am eligible for upgrade though I do not know what will happen if I attempt to use it. I assume I will either be forced to update my Agent plan to a current one w/o unlimited data or switch to current consumer pricing, but maybe not.
Under my current situation what would you recommend I: attempt to upgrade my device via My Verizon and potentially lose my unlimited data, purchase a newer 4G device at MSRP (I have my eye on the HTC Droid Incredible 4G/LTE) or root and keep my Dinc which I have been strongly considering the past several months.
I now live in a 4G market and feel like I'm losing out on the 4G speeds even though I have Wifi access at home and work. The idea of deleting bloatware, increasing the amount of storage allocated for application data and free mobile hotspot with unlimited data is also extremely appealing to me. If I did upgrade to the new Dinc 4G there's no way I would risk rooting it. Also, if I did root is there anyway to install ICS with Sense 4.0 on my Dinc? I just don't know if an older device has the hardware to run some of the newer apps and games I've had in mind.

Not sure what you're issue with Chrome is, but it's easily ready for "prime-time", only browser I use anymore on my devices. No issues to report.
How much 3G data do you use each month and how much do you pay for it?

I currently have 1,500 minutes, 300 SMS, unlimited data and 50% of all other features like NFL Mobile and VCast that I only use during football season. I always exceed my text allowance though they never charge me extra. I pay approximately $30.00/mo. during the off season and typically use less than a gig.
My Dinc had been power cycling shortly after my phone went to sleep since I updated a couple days ago. I've since wiped the entire cache partition after booting in recovery mode and all has been well for a couple hours now. We'll see if this trend has continued through out the night tomorrow morning.
It would sure be nice if my Dinc had an official OTA update for either ICS or Jellybean

I have the first HTC Droid Incredible on Verizon factory reset was done on accident and now it says update my browser so I can update my Google browser because I have no Google Play Store It says Marketplace which was the first name then it became the Play Store
My situation is this I do not have a computer so you didn't know anyone so I has one that I can use to flash over so is there some type of app so I can go to my Gmail and I can download from there to the phone so I can OTA update Google Play and my Google Chrome browser I know it is a 3-g phone but believe it or not is faster than my K-8 I'm using now who carries are good solid portable Wi-Fi hotspot can anyone update this phone
Hi all, first post here, hope it's not a double up.
I've recently rooted my pixel and installed elemental x kernel and have recently been suffering from crazy cellular data use.
I have data saver on, sync only over wi-fi and any other setting I can find to minimise data use on.
Eg: In the last 20 mins I've gone through 100mb with the phone completely inactive.
Anyone else come across a similar issue?
Thanks
I have the same issue with no solution
That caused by OTA update, since you're rooted, it try again and again and never sucess.
Please upgrade your Pixel to latest build to get rid of that.
Wow, damn glad i upgraded to latest right after rooting, i have the smallest data plan i could get and that happening would kill me.

I believe you can turn off the automatic updates in the developer options. I can on my Nexus 6 running 7.1.1.
Reading and waiting impatiently for my XL to be delivered...
You can indeed turn it off in settings, but according to at least one person, apparently that does not necessarily stop it from happening. Or rather attempting to happen, if twrp is installed any ota will fail.

You can go to Data Usage under the Settings and look at your Cellular data usage and Wi-Fi data usage. This will tell you which applications are using up your data.
Right after I got my Pixel XL, I ran into an issue where an app used up 4Gig of wifi and 2Gig of cell data in about 30 minutes. Turned out to be a Disney game. The data usage screens showed this right away. I expect it was actually some of the ads the game was serving up. But, I will never install another Disney game because of this. Sorry grand kids.....

Actually the February update was able to install ota on my wife's Pixel despite being Verizon bootloader unlocked, twrp, & rooted. I'm not sure if she clicked "install" after it downloaded or not. She's usually careful to ask me if its ok to update or not.
Unfortunately the update broke all audio on the phone except over bluetooth. Google has already replaced it though.
Just a quick update.
I reverted back to a nandroid image I had of stock android 7.1.1 with root and twrp with stock kernel. (In case it was an app ravaging my data)
Everything seemed fine until tonight. Data usage was slow and steady (with all data saving settings on, including automatic updates turned off), then boom, while I was at yoga (1.5hrs) 1gb used.
I'll try flashing the latest build to see if that fixes it. But if it's going to do this every time a new build is released I'm probably going to have to unroot and live the vanilla life. No fun.
In case its pertinent:
Running build number NMF26U with twrp, root, stock kernel.
The perpetrator listed under mobile data usage is: ANDROID OS (1.8gb ~2days)
Sounds like it just keeps trying to update to NOF26W, so if you update it may well stop doing that.
