Market my apps server error - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When I go into market and select my apps, I get this error:
A server error has occured. Retry,or cancel and return to the previous screen.
I tried clearing data, but still does the same.
Anybody ever have this problem, anybody know a way to fix this?

Did you also clear cache for the Market app? Have you tried using a different internet connection, i.e., switch from 3G to WiFi or vice versa? Have you rebooted and reestablished your connection? Maybe use CWM to reset permissions? Backup the app, then uninstall/reinstall?
Try those (probably that order is "easiest" to "biggest pain in the butt") and see if one of 'em works.
If none of that works, what system changes have you done since the last time you successfully used Market and My Apps? Did you apply any patches, switch kernels, install a whole new ROM?

Yeah I tried all that. I was taking out the new market and putting back the old. After I did that I cleared data, and problem started. I restored my backup and it still gave me that problem. How I fixed it was backing up my apps with titanium backup, formatting all data in clockwork. And re-signing in to my google account, then batch restore all apps only in titanium backup. Only restoring data on certain apps.
Everything is back to normal, I believe it had something to do with getting messed up on googles end. Everything is good now.

Help!! Rooted phone not receiving but sending text messages!!!

Its actually my bf's phone. It was doing just fine about 30 minutes before. Then, his sister sent him a text, then she text me about 5 minutes later saying it wouldn't send. I tried several times, and it says sending on my phone, and eventually message failure. I reinstalled cm7-111 (clearing cache and all that), rebooted twice, and nothing. 1 hour later, it finally started sending them! what's wrong? Something always seems to go wrong after he switches roms. I've only had cm7 on my dinc, installing updates fairly often. No problems whatsoever. I'm extremely cautious with mine! Lol. How do we keep this from happening? Is there something he should be doing that he might've forgot about when switching roms? I know he backed up with titanium pro.

Did he restore data? You need to install with full wipe and not restore system app and data. Restoring apps with titanium is fine.

FWIW, I use TB too. I always restore apps and app data, but not system data, with no trouble.
It might be worth double checking to make sure the phone is still "programmed": dial *228 and select Option 1. Let it reboot completely and then check it again.
Thanks!

[Q] Backed up my ROM -- now everything FCs

I've been running ACS 1.2 Frozen for a while, with the Genocide kernel and LauncherPro. I've been planning to update to an EI22 ROM for a while, but before I started messing around I wanted to backup what I have now.
So I powered down, booted up into CWM (purple), and did a backup. Then when I restarted, all I got were FCs. The really aggravating thing is that LauncherPro FCs so I can't really get to anything else.
All I did was run a backup! Anyone else seen this? Got any ideas on how to get stability back?
Luckily the backup ran successfully, but if this is what I get just from RUNNING a backup, I don't have a lot of confidence that I'd be stable after RESTORING a backup.
Something happened, may have been related to journaling and the shut down. Did you have journaling enabled? You can do a factory data reset to clear the errors and try an advanced data restore from the nand but if the errors happened before the backup started then it is corrupted too. Do you have any other backups? Titanium? If you clear the errors enough to get into settings, clear data in your launcher and Google Service Framework, then any other app that is FCing.
I did have journaling enabled, yes. I wasn't getting any errors before the backup, but if the shutdown caused them, well I'm a bit stuck. No recent Titanium backups unfortunately.
Thanks for the things to try!

At that point you got nothing to lose. If the restore has the FCs too then Factory Data reset will nuke the data errors, you will lose 3rd party apps, have to set up email again, and your contacts (stored on Google) will be restored as well as the list of apps downloaded from the market (eventually the list will be populated). But your phone will be usable again.
In case you havent tried it, wipe cache and dalvic from CWM. I would try that before wiping everything.

So this is interesting -- it seems like something about my SD card has gotten busted in the backup.
I did a restore of the backup I made, it's identical to where I was at after the backup, but when I hit Home it asked me to choose LauncherPro or TWLauncher. Choosing TWLauncher at least gets me some functionality.
So I did that and noticed that NONE of the apps on my SD card show up anymore. A clue towards resolution without full wipe?
Yup, after more investigation I'm sure of it. Running the CWM backup broke all the apps stored on my SD card. I didn't make any changes other than running the backup, and after restarting all those apps no longer show up.
Backup your sd card on a computer, format it in the phone and restore. That should make it work again. Then you will have to reinstall the apps that were there. Sometimes launchers take more than 5 minutes to reload apps on the sd card. Did you wait long enough?

[Q] How to install new ROM w/o losing app configurations?

I have Titanium backup, but any time I recover apps/data, I often end up in a force-close storm, if not immediately, then eventually. I'd really like to get all my apps back in place without this issue whenever I install a new ROM. There's a whole lot of custom configuration that I have to repeat over and over again. What's worse is I'll first recover all apps/data w/ TB, and then it will work for some time, and then it breaks down into an FC storm and I end up having to install all the apps from market, and reconfiguring everything manually again. Then why did I pay for TB pro?!
What am I missing? Are some apps more prone to causing problems when recovering the old data into a fresh ROM?
I honestly never have your problems. Even data from GB to ICS.
My method is, restore missing apps with data. so that leaves only system apps left. And there isn't much configuration needed with those anyway in my experience.

hmm... that appears to have worked. I must have been reloading system data, and borking the databases by mixing old/new. Thank you very much, sir.
P.S.: Dat ass!
No matter what app you use to restore your list, just restore the apps only, don't restore the data as it usually does not work across different os versions. All you need to do after the apps restore is log into the ones with accounts.. The only time I have had FC issues is if I try and restore data from a previous is version..

Ive never relied on TB but i have used my backup root and i have reloaded apps just fine when it comes to data thats where you can run into FC. I know it sucks dude but when it comes to running ICS a clean install is the way to go apps included . Shortcuts give you problems always

Severely handicapped my OS

Hello,
I should mention I'm running the dark_hd CM9 rom, rooted S-OFF.
So earlier today I was in the bootloader and accidently hit Clear Storage. It brought up a black screen with an image of an open box and then my phone rebooted normally.. fat fingered it somehow. Oops.
Upon loading the OS it immediately asked me for my Google info and I knew something was wrong. All of my apps icons are there on the launcher screen, however none of them are installed except for the basic apps. Also, when I tried to install Titatium Backup again, it says 'Unfortunately, .. has stopped'. I tried to reinstall a few more apps and each one says 'Unfortunately...has stopped". Before I restored, I wanted to see if I could get back some of my data and make a fresh Titanium backup of it all.
I have a few apps like a a logbook program and my Heytell conversations that I would like to see if the data is still there before I do a full restore or a wipe. Is there any way I can fix this "Unfortunately" error? Also, if I do a restore, will my app data be saved or will it revert back to the info that was there when I did the backup? Thanks.

So you hit factory reset from the hboot menu? You could check /data/data and see if the settings for your apps are still there, but i doubt it. You should also check /data/app and see if the apps apk is still there. If it is there, delete it and then try reinstalling it again. If you do a backup, it will restore the data that was backed up. You can do an advanced restore and restore everything except data.

Did you have any apps moved to sdcard? As it almost sounds like that could be the case if some of the data for the phone like the launcher homescreen data is still intact but the apps were on the sdcard which would be part of storage.

I'm sorry it was CM9. Fixed. I had CM10 on the brain as I was getting read to flash the Pons CM10 ROM. I didn't have any luck recovering any of the data so I just wiped it and flashed a new rom. I was able to run Titanium and recovery the data but I still lost some since my last backup. Thanks anyways.

Titanium Backup Issues

OK so I'm not sure what exactly is going on but whenever I flash my rim to do testing and whatnot I make a nandroid, do a full wipe, flash rom, gapps and then kernel, then reboot, let sit for about 10 mins, and then go through the setup, my data works completely fine, no drops in connection or anything, I can download apps on 4g even, so I downloaded titanium Backup and set it up, but whenever I restore my apps, just my apps only, no system data or app data the restore completes and then I don't a reboot and then my data no longer works, I've double checked the apn and nothing is out of the ordinary, it has to be titanium Backup because I've tried different kernels, different roms and still the same issue, does anyone have any idea what might cause this?

Tibu is not the panacea it's made out to be. Don't do a batch restore. Only restore the apps you really need. It's much better to use Google to restore your apps.

Well that is a matter of opinion. Using google to restore apps will always give you the latest versions of the apps. And that is often not a good thing. (I have 6 apps right now that I dont want updated because the newer version is crappier) Google isnt real good with restoring app data either.
There is nothing wrong with restoring using titanium for apps and data. The only place it shouldn't be recommended is for restoring system settings or data. That is where you get version/rom incompatibilities.

I always use TB to restore my apps. Never had a issue. Always use batch restore and restore only apps and data. Not sure what's going on but I ONLY use it to restore apps. What exactly are you pressing during your restoration process? I only restore missing apps with data in the scenerios. Never had I had any issues. perhaps try restoring missing apps AND data. this is what I do. Works every time without issue. Problem might lie in the fact your not restoring apps and data. Give it a shot. Let me know. It should work perfectly for you. Does for me always. Your not restoring data this is likely your issue. so during restoration press " restore apps AND data" this should solve the issue.
