[Q] Android Market force closing - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have an problem with the android market app, whenever I open it, it force closes coming up with 'application Market (process com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly.' I don't know if this is related, but I was clearing out junk apps to the SD card and I thought it might be the DownloadProvider.apk which I moved but after restoring it, it still crashes. I have also downloaded the .apk file and tried to reinstall it, but it still closes. Any thoughts?

I have the same, but only when I tap install on an app. And when I want to update apps. Now reflashing the phone.

I was getting the same thing, with the market repeatedly FCing with a 'vending' error. Was also unable to apply my MIUI OTA ROM update.
Clearing the market and download manager's cache and data wasn't enough for me. I fixed this by going in to recovery and wiping the cache (and nothing else). Worked fine after that. Seemed to be a problem with corrupted cache or download list I think.

I've the same problem. I have a rooted Arc S and everything ran smooth. This morning I got into Market and tried to download the wetter.com application (weather widget). Suddenly the market closed and every time I try to open it, got the com.android.venting message and it closes. I've tried crearing the market, uninstall market update, nothing worked. How can I go into recovery mode and wipe cache, as you mentioned? Maybe it solves my problem too.

[Q] Stock Browser Crashes

Hi guys,
I was doing some changes on stock browser settings but it suddenly crashed. Now it's always crashing. I've restarted the phone but it still crashes. It says com.android.browser force closed but i cannot find it anywhere on applications for clearing the cache. I also couldn't find it on titanium backup for restoring.
What can i do??
Is there anyone have a zip version for flashing it?
In application settings click on the ALL tab, it is listed there as internet, there you can clear the data.

MARKET - install failed

HELP! I am running the latest SPRINT LOVERS ROM and have been having an issue with downloading NEW apps from the market and also installing updates to APPS. I could not get ANYTHING to install or download using the LATEST MARKET so I flash the OLD market to my phone. for the past week or so, I have been able to download SOME new apps and update SOME APPS. However, some apps, I had to uninstall and THEN reinstall or else I would get a INSTALL FAILED message. Now as of today, I cant download ANY new APPS as it downloads and then TRIES to install and I get a DOWNLOAD FAILED. In CATLOG I see "DEXOPT FAILED" and it references the downloaded file I was just downloading.
How do I fix this so that I can download again. I see in the android market forum that LOTS of people are having this issue but there is no resolution. I though it might be the memory card but I tried a different one and SAME issue. I also cleared the cache and DALVIK cache and same issue (the dexopt failed mentions the DALVIK CACHE). Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Well, you can try reflashing the rom, going into apps clearing the market cache, reboot, or flash the newest gapps.

I wiped cache and dalvik cache... Same issue....
The problem isn't the market, well the upgrading/installing new apps part isn't. There is a temp file that is on your sd card which is for the market, if that file gets corrupted or flagged with low on space, it'll prevent updates/new installs from happening. To fix this you need to delete that file, you can only see this file via plugged into a computer as a storage device then go to .android_secure and in there will be a random named file with .tmp at the end. Just delete that, unmount and restart the phone, after that it's back to installing again.

I dont have that TMP file in the folder mentioned. I know whichj on you are referring to and a while back I had this file which prevented me from installing files.. But I dont have it now.. any other ideas??
Note: the file is called smdl2tmp1.asec and I dont have it ...
Now something else strange... I SHOULD be able to download and install APPS with the card unmounted.. I cant EVEN download an APP if the card is mounted on the PC or unmounted from the phone settings.. any ideas
Also I notice that some times the phone will reboot while doing an install from market. I googled and saw others with this issue.

I now am flashing the old market back.. any ideas? the new market wont even start a download as it ERRORS right away with DOWNLOAD failed...

[Q] com.android.vending error

HTC Evo 4G, it had been rooted but I got the factory ROM installed back on the phone. Everything works except the Market app. When I try to run it I get the error "The application Market (process com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly." I tried a factory reset but that did not fix the problem. I then uninstalled the Market App, but now I cannot get the Market app re-installed because when it is sent to the phone from Sprint Tech Support as a download, I get the same error again.
I have no idea how to get the Market App back on my phone and even if I do, not sure what to do if I keep getting the com.android.vending error.
Thoughts?
Many thanks...
Google "inverted market rujles xda" without the " and download market version 3.4.4 it will be inverted so the background is black instead of white, its a flashable zip that needs to be flashed in recovery, wipe cache and dalvik cache, flash the market zip and see if it works, if not another option is to wipe cache and dalvik and reflash your ROM over itself and see if that fixes it

[Q] "Google play store has stopped working"

Hello!
I recently get this error probably after I rooted my device, whenever I try to download something from play store. When I click install or click accept (after clicking install) I get this error (10/10 cases). Then I keep getting it on a random basis. I deleted the data and cache (even rebooted between each one), then went to play store. It shows the apps and works for a long period of time (but eventually shows the error). But when I try to download something, I happens again. I checked the Download Manager and it is enabled.
I had backed up the play store using Titanium backup, then wiped its data and then uninstalled it from the system. Don't ask why lol.
But when I tried to restore it, Titanium backup was stuck at its progress. Then I had to place the APK of the backed up play store (the updated version of the play store (5.0.31) not the factory version.) in the /system/apps/ and set the rx- r-- r-- permissions. I checked the Titanium backup backup file and apparently it had some data for the data/data path. So I manually put it there and set the permissions like any other folder that is there. Keep in mind that I tried to reboot in between each attempt.
I used OpenVPN to access it but no luck.
Tried to delete dalvick-cache folder, but that didn't fix it neither.
Booted into safe mode, cause I thought maybe some of the applications are causing this like Xposed, Greenify and SetCPU (which I uninstalled just in case). This again didn't do it.
I rooted the device with Kingo root using a pc.
Android is 4.4.4.
My only guess left is that I should find the factory version of the Google Play that was installed?
As you can see I'm kind of running out of options here.
Could somebody offer an advice besides factory reset and being careful next time??

[SOLVED] Trying to reinstall gmail, error 506

Hello, I have just bought a new G4, and rooted it perfectly, by flashing the rooted system with adb.
That same day, gmail starts to pop up errors and force close after restoring data from TB (my fault!) so I decide to uninstall the upgrades. Play store get frozen on "uninstalling..." untill I have no other option but rebooting the system. Now, gmail is completely gone. Uninstalled. But if I try to reinstall it via play store, TB, aptoide, even downloading the apk, I get the error message "insufficient space, try uninstalling the app before. Error -506"
I have cleared caches, system cleaner, I have deleted (moved to the SD) the dead gmail files at system/data... but the error persists! Now I have run out of ideas, please help.
Forgot to mention, I can install or uninstall the rest of apps. It is only gmail the one that causes problems.
SOLVED: Finally, SDMaid was able to delete a corpse I have missed, so I could reinstall it as a user app. The force close was still there, but after some reboots, TB was able to turn it into a system app. Now it works again.
