[Q] Intermintent Market Error 492

I have searched these forums and have come across similar posts but not quite the problem I am having. From time to time I will get a market error when trying to update apps. "Market Error 492" and it wont download the update. I can fix this everytime by booting into recovery>Advanced>wipe Davilik Cache. Then Reboot. This will take care of my problem but will eventually comeback but never is it consistent.(sometimes I can go months before it happens) Is there a way to prevent this from happening at all? here is what I have:
Carrier: USCC
Device: HTC Desire CDMA
ClockworkMOd Recovery
Rom: CM7 Stable
Thanks in advance for any help

Have you tried clearing the market app's data?

I know it sounds stupid, its your sd card. Format it, backing up what you need

Hi, mount SD-card on my PC and delete the .android_secure directory, which will re-enable the market functionality.

hi, i have an SGS1 with Mosiac 9...
market stopped working today.... tried the following..
clear dalvik cache
clear cache
clear market cache
BUT how do i find the .android_secure directory
i cant even find it through my android rooted file manager?
thanks..
PS.. seeing how many different phones, ROMs are having this issue... i am believing that its a market specific issue?
i also found this... but i dont know how to use it correctly or if its applicable... im a newb....
"When the Android Market app 3.4.4 was starting the download of an app it failed after a few seconds with error "could not be downloaded due to error 492". Searching on the internet I found some Asian page which contains the solution ... execute "chmod 777 /data/download". After I had execute this statement under adb shell, I had been able to install apps without any problems on my AC100 (with the OS update from July 2011)"
PPS.... how do i edit my signature... cant find that anywhere?
thanks again

[Q] Google Play force closes

So I have MikG 3.1.1 with ducks combat theme, although I doubt that has any relevance, but up until today, my market worked fine. I could update apps, download apps, everything. But today when I went to try and download Instagram and then some games.... no matter what I do (Besides a full wipe and reflash.) I can't get it to work!!!
I've tried clearing cache, D-cache, data from market, uninstall market and placeing it into system/app folder with the modified permissions.... BUT NOTHING WORKS?
So what the hell can I do besides a full reflash? I really don't want to do a reflash because I ****ing hate putting apps back on my phone and recustomizing my settings

Might work if you use Titanium Backup to backup apps and settings, then do the wipe and restore from the backup made. Also probably wouldn't hurt to dig around for a market update

That's just it though, I don't mind TB, it's just a pain in the ass because some of the apps I have to actually DL from the market; if it's not working then I won't be able to restore all my apps. And I've tried other apk's laying around. I don't get it... This seems recent because there's a lot of threads I see from around the start of april but no possible fix, not for evo's yet anyway

Any help here guys it's driving me totally crazy. I've tried downloading an old market version before it got updated to "Google Play" and I can't even get it to open and update... WTF is going on here?
I literally have done nothing new to my phone in the past week. I was browsing apps the other day and downloaded pudding camera fine no problem. Wake up today to download another for my tumblr, but now everytime I try and wipe data/cache of Play Store, followed by trying to download something it FC's and will further FC, not even opening up afterwards.
I really don't want to reflash my ROM but it seems like I have no other option... Come on people, I know this issues has to be floating around with some kind of fix.

I don't know if this'll help, but have you tried booting into recovery and fixing permissions.

Go over to the Samsung epic touch 4g forum, go to themes and apps, find the thread "inverted Google apps" by rujules23 and go to his site. Download the market v3.5.16 for the evo, should just be called market v3.5.16 and not have E4GT on the end the E4GT version is specific to the epic touch and flash the zip in recovery that market should work for you, it will say market and have a blue and white shopping bag icon, it's inverted black with blue trim and modified to say market instead of play store on the icon. It fixed my play store problems when it kept acting weird(purchased apps saying they weren't purchased, FC's, apps incompatible, etc)

Yes I have tried. I've even tried the modded apk.
I will however, albeit being inverted, try the other suggestion with the flashable zip and post back with results

There's been a known issue with some of the new versions Google Play Store not downloading and throwing up error codes and such.
So I just downloaded one of the early versions until they iron out the kinks.
Here's the one that seems to work ok found here: http://www.theandroidsoul.com/download-google-play-store-apk-3-4-6/
Its the 3.4.6 version. Scroll down.

Tried the inverted, no dice. In fact, worse than before. I can't even agree to the TOS and it instantly FC's on me. At least before I could wipe data and cache and browse, until I tried to download something.
Going to try the previous version as mentioned. However, won't it try to auto update when I open it?

Still nothing. Constantly getting the error. The only difference now is I cannot even browse the market now. I aknowledge that market is changing to play store, it crashes... I open it again and asks me to accept ToS. Then instantly FC's.
Any other fixes guys? I'm beginning to think I have to reflash my rom which I really don't want to.
Any MikG users here can confirm if I can just flash the Update version over my current setup to maintain my apps and settings or will that break my theme and everything else? CUrrent theme is Ducks Combat

Did you delete the market completely before installing the inverted one?

Just re flash mikg it will wipe system for you but all your data will remain. I've had that happen with other things, you may have changed something that caused it and not known. Re flash, no wipe it will do the trick!

Reflash with the update version? Cuz the other version is a full wipe inside the zip. More laboration please?
And yes I did delete the Vending.apk, market.apk, reboot, install, reboot, and try. Still errors

*sigh*
Checked on some of my old posts and may have found a fix to my FFC camera issue which is unrelated to this thread. What IS related however, is when I was flashing it, I accidentally wiped my sdext and now I can't unlock my phone for some reason. Just my wallpaper and my status bar...
So against my wishes it would seem I have to reflash the entire mikg rom. (
However, in my previous post about simply reflashing the rom OVER my current setup, anybody care to explain still?

No worries guys, had to eventually reflash anyway and working even better than before. Making nandroid to prevent any future errors. Proceed with closing thread

[Q] com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox FC and device freeze.

So I have an Evo 4G and am running 2.3.7 cm7 and I've been having weird problems with the browser and quick search box app which constantly force closes and tells me that com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox fc'd and that I should try again.
This culminated in a freeze of my device entirely at which time I had to pull my battery. Unfortunately now swype is fcing as well. Any help would be appreciated.
p.s. I looked for similar threads and only found two, neither of which helped at all.

Wipe the big 3 and install the latest google apps and it should work. Give it a try!

Problem solved
I did that well before I posted to the thread for help (I know, I should have added that to the original question) so I tried flashing and had no luck. I could boot into recovery but not flash anything. So I used a different memory card installed and this time it worked. Wtf is going on with my phone?

SOLUTION!

I Just figured it out! I had the same problem in my Droid GTR 1.5 Build (ROM)I am planning on releasing tomorrow morning. Just found out that the Google Quick Search Box.apk file in your App folder in your ROM must be re-named to: com.google.android.googleguicksearchbox.apk. That allows the instructions in the script to locate the application when you tap the search bar in the widget or explorer in your browser. Hope I helped you. So re-name that apk file and re-flash that rom.

ROM DPI app/play store problem (solved)

Hey guys, I am using 'FactoryROM' and when I switched from 320dpi to 241 dpi (went through steps 1-5 properly mutliple times), there are alot of apps missing from the play store, even when I switch back from 241 to 320 and go through steps 1-5, it still happens. I really dont want to re-flash the ROM. I have also tried clearing cache and dalvik-cache, and fixed permissions before rebooting and still had apps missing from the play store (such as usps mobile, and script manager), along with force closes from apps that were already on my phone before changing the DPI
(If I missed any details please let me know so I can help you help me. Haha)
Anyway, my question is, is there a fix that is available, and is this a possible bug? I want to thank you all in advance who will help me, and apologize in advance if this has been asked.
Edit: solved it myself

Hi. Since you added (solved) tag to your thread's title, it would be nice to share how you did at the top or at the end of the first post. Someone reads the title, they will be looking for the solution as well. The rest of us will just ignore it.

You're right. Sorry,
I uninstalled the play store, rebooted to recovery. Wiped my cache twice along with the dalvik-cache (twice), flashed the 4.2 Gapps again, cleared my cache and dalvik again. Fixed permissions, and rebooted . Problem solved

Cyanogenmod help

I've looked through the forums for hours now and according to the noob video made by xda. I'm asking for help. I have an at&t Samsung galaxy s3 with the CyanogenMod installed (as the title implies) and to be honest its not worth the hastle. I'm having problems left and right. First off, the camera app that comes with the phone is missing. Or if theres a custom one. Its not included. I'm aware that I can find and install an external apk but I'll get to the problem with that in a bit. I followed very detailed instructions on installing the cyanogenmod and gapps and everything was fine (stable version) but the notifications suggested I update the mod so I did. Now I have the camera but my play store will not work. It opens for a split second then closes. Also, the file manager is gone. So I downloaded multiple file managers and it seems after first use that they can no longer open anything. I can't even access the files. I checked the superuser allowed and disallowed apps and everything seems fine. Now with the apk problem. Almost any apk I download will not install on my phone. Sorry for the erratic problems just jumbled everywhere in this post but I'm using my phone to write this so its a bit difficult to organize. Any feedback would greatly be appreciated. A link to a post already like this (which I couldn't find) or a link to a tutorial maybe or troubleshooting these problems. I will delete this post as soon as I find a solution so I don't use up space on the forums with a somewhat personal problem. Thanks in advance!

Go in application settings and delete your play store's data/cache. That should fix it.
Without it, it's kinda hard to install apps unless you sideload. If you do sideload, you need to allow it in your settings (security I believe).

if you're using the stable version of CM
you might have to go to Date & Time setting
and fix the date on there in order to make play store works
and everything you say about camera, it is weird indeed because not only CM, every rom out there should include a camera app
if that problem still exists for you, you might want to clean/wipe everything, from cache to system and then flash the rom again

Thank you guys. I tried wiping the cache and it still didn't work. I don't mind side loading which is what I've been doing but its not ideal. I can only search for the exact app(s) I want rather than exploring via play store. Also, you guys didn't mention the problem with the file managers not working after first try. If you have any feedback it'd be great. I would like to keep the cyanogenmod but its just not worth the time and effort (opinion). If I can't fix the problem or find a solution I'll just go back to my phones stock UI because even though I think flashing ROMs is awesome. It really isn't worth frustrating myself with something that's an option and not a necessity. Thanks in advance for feedback.

the file manager part is really weird.
if you clean install, especially the stable version, everything should works just fine
however, it sounds like bad install though
how about this this
Download Titanium Backup and wipe data + cache for file manager only and see if it works
if not, try the longer way
download stock att rom(4.1.1)
go to recovery, wipe everything
go to download mode
flash stock rom with odin
restart to recovery, wipe dalvik and cache
root the phone
Re-Download CM10 stable
go to recovery, wipe everything, including System
flash cm10
reboot and see if everything works

Yeah I've tried a factory reset. It only deleted my user data not really resetting the phone. Thank you pcchano (sorry if I got name wrong) I'll try and erase everything and reinstall from scratch but its not my first time using custom ROMs so I'm sure I did it right but I'll give it a go. Also, someone told me that I need to completely wipe any data associated with Google wallet before I root or else play store will not work. Has anyone tried out this theory or know anything about it? It doesn't make sense to me seeing as wallet is saved server side beside the basic user data stored on the phone. But please let me know. You guys are all very helpful thanks for the feedback.

Also, I've never had to wipe dalvik before? Could that be my problem? I also noticed that when I updated cm the info panel said 'experimental' even though I chose the stable version to start with? Could some of these problems be associated with cm rather than blaming it on my phone? Thanks in advance for any feedback.

i have like 2 s3 using CM10 stable version and no problem with it (other than the play store wouldn't connect due to the date in setting wasn't correct) while I myself am using CM10.1 and other than the bugs that come with CM10.1 or google source code, it is a functional rom
so i would rather say, it is your phone
and you should always wipe dalvik cache along with cache partition before flashing new rom.

OK pcshano thanks very much. I'll just erase everything and start from scratch. Thanks everyone who helped me. This forum and you people are awesome. I'll delete this post as soon as I reinstall the ROM to make sure it worked. Thanks again!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747

The stable cm is of the 10 variety. The experimental builds are 10.1 if I'm not mistaken. In which case you should only need to flash the appropriate gapps package to get the play store functioning and camera as well. The file manager issue I don't know beyond the external sd card being a bit sketchy on 4.2 builds. Are you using an external sd card? Start with a fresh flash of 10.1 if you want to go with that, flash a 4.2 gapps zip and see what happens from there.
