Market app problem? - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys I seem to have some kind of problem with the market app. When I try to update an app it just stays on "starting download" forever. Installing new apps also "paused". Anybody have a similar problem and find a solution to it? Thanks in advance.

Try signing into Google talk. Sometimes that's enough to get the market working again.

just going to wipe and reflash and see what happens.

You might want to clear the cache and clear data for the market app first. I was having strange issue with it last week (not displaying my installed apps and installs taking forever). I did this and it works like a charm.
Settings -> Manage Apps -> Find the market app and clear cache/data.
Worth a try.

It worked actually. Thanks man. Maybe something was corrupt in the data. I tried clearing the cache only cause I didn't want to mess with the data and that didn't really do anything, but when I cleared the data and the cache it helped. Thanks.

This is a recurring problem in the market and that procedure always fixes it. I hope the newer version of the market is more reliable.

Go to settings, applications, manage applications and click on Market; delete Market cache and Market data and reboot. You'll have to reasign your Google account to the Market when you first launch it, and it'll take a minute or two to sync up but, it should fix it.

I did that but it still stuck on downloading...

i had the same problem.
my market was version 2.3.4, and i think it was either to old or it was corrupted.
it not loaded the app pictures and the apps itself.
i tryed it now for some days with the cache deletion, but it doesn't really worked for me.
sometimes it worked for some seconds and then it had the same problems again.
the fix was pretty easy.
i downloaded the new market and installed it.
problems where gone, and i now have a nice new market.
here is the page where i downloaded the market.
http://www.arctablet.com/blog/archo...market-purchased-canceled-issue-on-archos-g9/
download the apk and install it with the astro file manager.
don't forget to enable "menu->settings->applications->unknown sources" before.

thank man i just install latest market and it still stuck on downloading i guess i have to do factory reset to solve this problem...
Mine does that when I have too little ram available...
I've done all of those things and a few more (uninstalled all downloaded apps, cleared caches from all apps, uninstalled market updates, wiped cache partition, wiped dalvik cache, unmounted SD card) and then finally a factory reset and I still can't download anything from the market. So don't count on a factory reset fixing anything.

[Q] Downloaded apps don't show up in market

Ive searched for thjis bug before, but all the supplied solutions aren't effective. I've tried repairing permissions, clearing cache, reflashing gapps, uninstalling and reinstalling, and nothing has worked. This bug arised right after I tried adding a youtube/google account so I can watch my subscribed channels, but I can't seem to get that to work, as when ever I add my youtube username to the accounts, it adds a @gmail.com to it.... /shrug. I don't want to resort to reflashing my phone, as I don't want to lose all my settings and tweaks. If anyone has any advice or solutions, they would be greatly appreciated.
Here's a screenshot of the "my apps" page on the market.

[Bump]
So I tried installing a Miui rom, and the apps showed up in the market once i restored them from Titanium Backup. I didn't want to commit to the Miui rom, so I reverted back form my backup. Well today I tried installing a Andromadus ICS rom, but I'm still getting the same error. I'd really like some advice or help with this, because I'm really anal about having the most up-to-date apps.
Are these apps that you have restored using TB?
I have seen this on my own device, Setting/Applications/Manage applications go to the market app and clear data/cache seems to fix it.

[Q] Error Processing Purchase - Nothing has worked

Running CM9
Ive run darkside Cache wipe + Cleared market data and cache + uninstalled updates even, no dice
It seems the only I can make the market work is by unchecking all sync options under my google account, then downloading apps, then rechecking everything, then it breaks again.
I cant seem to find a permanent solution to this?
Sounds like a bad flash. Reflash the ROM.

[Q] Messenger Has Stopped Responding

Anyone else been having this like... CONSTANTLY lately?
I'm pretty sure it refers to Facebook Messenger (it's messenger not messaging, which is how Facebook's Messenger app is spelled). I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app. I contacted support. I cleared data/cache. I cleared the whole systems cache in recovery. Nothing helps. This thing "stops responding" like 10 times a day. It's unbearable.

I think he was being rhetorical and saying to stop using it.
I'm going to say Uninstall it, reboot, then reboot into Recovery and wipe dalivk/cache and Fix Perms, then reboot System, let the phone boot completely (10mins+), then reinstall said app from Play Store. This is what I had to do with G+ to get it working again.

Fix Perms would be on a custom Recovery, such as TWRP or CWM. If you aren't running one of those (or another custom Recovery), then ignore that part or install one (this is XDA after all).

haha yea i don't root anymore since getting a phone that's actually powerful enough on its own to run the software that comes with it. but xda is still my forum of choice just because it's xda.
well thanks for the advice though, i'll try doing things in the order you mentioned anyway and see if that helps. unless i succumb to buying a note 3 tomorrow haha.

Any luck? I rooted my S2, did a GS2ROMWIPE and installed [WizzedKAT Rom][V2.9 Final !!]. I then restored my backed-up apps using Super Backup.
I had to uninstall and reinstall Facebook as it kept crashing. I decided to also install FB Messenger. At regular intervals now even just when driving and using Google Maps navigation, I get the error "unfortunately, messenger has stopped" and I must click "OK". (screenshot attached).
I've uninstalled Messenger and am yet to receive another error, but I would like to install it again if there is a solution to this error.
EDIT: I followed the steps :

I got to wiping the Dalvik Cache but in Philz Kernel there is no Fix Pemissions. I left that out and rebooted. Then I started getting new errors that "Unfortunately, contacts has stopped". Have since rebooted and Contacts is working again. Will now try reinstalling FB messenger
Fix permissions is starting to be left out of recoveries because it very rarely does anything anyone needs. As for your app im not sure. Its possible the dev needs to update it for use on kk. If you do a clean flash, and only install that app, does it still behave the same? If so its probably a compatibility issue.

Touch wood, but Facebook Messenger seems to have behaved itself in the half-day since reinstalling it after wiping the Dalvik Cache. I can't say why the cache wipe temporarily affected Contacts, but that's fine too after a reboot.
Should the "Messenger Has Stopped" message reappear, I'll look into doing a clean flash to determine compatibility issues of the app, but I never used FB Messenger on my i9100 Stock Rom so I do not have that as a comparison. That said, the OP had issues on an unrooted S3, so the app could be suspect or perhaps me and Polarbearmc had another software issue in common that affected FB Messenger .
Anyhow, if it worked for me, perhaps the OP had to consider temporarily rooting their phone to do this Davlik Cache wipe too. If the OP feeds back that will be nice, for me I'll continue to explore my new WizzedKat 2.9 Rom.

My Nexus 5X is unusable, being spammed with error messages.

Hey there,
My phone keeps spamming me with an error message that reads "Unfortunately, Google Services Framework has stopped." I can't do anything, because the instant I click OK it shows me another error message. There is a fraction of a second window that I can click on the screen, so I tried clicking REPORT and typing an error message one letter at a time, but I can't send a bug report because Google Services Framework isn't working :C
I have attempted to clear my cache, and it didn't solve the problem. It only started occurring after I restarted my phone.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Edit: This problem seems to be unsolvable. I tried everything you can possibly imagine. The only thing that ended up working for me was a factory reset, but thanks to everyone who helped anyway :/
Some more information would be nice.
What ROM / kernel are you on? What did you do right before the problem started occurring? How exactly did you clear cache? Did you just clear dalvik or the cache partition?
You could go to apps in settings and clear the play services and play store caches separately. Try that first.

Thanks for the response.

I'm using the default ROM/kernal that comes with the Nexus 5X.

Okay, I just tried doing that but when I tap 'Clear Cache' the error message pops up before anything can happen. I filmed a really quick video to show you what I mean. I have a new account so I can't directly link to it. www(dot)youtube(dot)com/watch?v=5Uw5_VyLP40 When I'm not holding a camera I have enough time to quickly press OK and then click the clear cache button, but nothing seems to happen.
What did you do right before the problem started occurring?
My phone was running low on battery, and I was about to go into an exam so I switched it off. I just plugged it in to charge and then booted it once it was at 100%. As soon as I unlocked my phone I got spammed with those error messages.
How exactly did you clear cache? Did you just clear dalvik or the cache partition?
I cleared the cache partition.
Hope this helps
wow thats a pretty strange thing i think that the only thing left for you its just to factory reset it i know its anoying but its the only way i can think of
also you can try first to go and uninstall updates of the app or try disabling it and re enabling it
thats all i can say

Maybe try clearing the dalvik cache first before a factory reset.

I can't actually find an app called 'Google Services Framework', but there are a few similar things. I'll try disabling them first. Also, I was really hoping i wouldn't have to do a factory reset, but I will do it if nothing else works.

Alright, I would have to root to find that wouldn't I? I'll give it a go, and I'll report back soon with results.
Thank you both for your help.
