[Q] Problem downloading/updating and deleting apps. unrooted - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

It seems like ever since the market updated to google play i can't download any new apps on my phone (the force close and disappear as soon as i open them). Also, when i try to update existing apps they also force close and disappear but they end up coming back if i restart my phone. Also applications that i've had on my phone that i don't use any more I can't get rid of. I delete them and they come right back as well.
I've tried to restore my phone in tons of diffrent ways, regular factory reset, ruu, thought hboot, and htc sync. Factory reset and hboot just give me a red exclamation that i can't get around, the ruu someone told me to use didn't work i believe because the version of android i'm running and htc sync always tells me my phone isn't connected when clearly it is because i can open it up and explore it on my computer.
I'm at a loss, anyone have any ideas?
Time for a new phone?

Maybe consider rooting? I actually haven't seen a dinc with GB 2.3.4 that upgraded to google play, for some reason I've seen it stay with the market. My phone hasn't been in stock for a long time so I couldn't really say if that were true now but I know that google play was first released back in March and mid-april when I first rooted my Dinc, it was still on the android market. That being said, the dinc is far from trash if you are willing to root and flash a custom ROM to it.
I've seen this problem on ROMs when the version of gapps wasn't compatible with the ROM anymore because either the ROM was updated or gapps was updated and compatibility was lost. Usually in that situation I would recommend that person to do a fresh flash of their ROM with the newest google apps but in your case I would suggest flashing a custom ROM for the first time. if that is not an option you want to explore at this time, I believe that if you place this PB31IMG.zip on the root of your SD card (which must be formatted to FAT32) and then get into hboot it will reflash gb for you which might do the trick.

my DINC upgraded to google play when it was on stock. But really, stock sucks and has bugs. Upgrade to a real firmware listed here

[Q] Unable to download apps from the market

Hi,
since I've rooted my phone and went for DeFrost/OpenDesire I'm unable to download any apps from the market. I've set the installation source to internal memory. I've tried to re-install the ROM, cleaning, wiping data/cache and basically everything around that. I'm even unable to download Apps with the original 2.2 unrooted STOCK rom now.
Any ideas?
What I did so far:
- Wiping the phone
- Formating the SD card
- Basically everything to default
- Installed FroYo 2.2.1 Pre-Rooted
And still I cant download apps from the market.
Please I am begging for ideas
try clearing market's data in "application" section of "settings"
does your problem include free apps? or paid only?
Hi,
did that.
Applies for paid and free apps
Apps Install Problem
Hi,
I've got kinda the same problem.
Got root phone with custom ROM (Neophyte) and download apps form market is fine but after they don't install and I still have the installing process running but nothings happens.
I've try to change ROM but in Cyamogen I don't even see the Android Market.
I have partitioned the SD card with Rom Manager to get APP2SD but I d'ont know if this is working. How to check?
Someone can help? Which ROM should I use to test if the market is Ok?
Can I put a HTC rom into my rooted phone?
I do have the feeling that my phone is not allowed to place the files somewhere it would need to. Does anyone know where files from the market are being placed when the download starts?
Update:
I found a solution. I need to disable the SD card and them I'm able to download files again. So I guess its some kind of app2sd problem?
And with defrost its not working anylonger.
GOD DAMNIT. This is driving me crazy
So even with a ext3 partition I'm unable to download these Apps. I've tried repair mode from ROM manager and he successful fixed everything - without a result.
If anyone has an idea please tell me. I'm unable to use my phone this way and I don't have any idea at this point. I just revoked everything going back to an unrooted HTC Desire EU 2.2 rom.
Its still not working. I dont get this.
SD card was formated, Phone was wiped - its in the same state as yesterday before I rooted it. So how the heck is it not working anymore?! Cant be its kinda hardware bricked or something ... ffs
PLEASE
I have the same problem. After creating the partion in rom manager I am unable to DOWNLOAD apps for the market but I can still install apk's from the memory card.
SOLUTION!!!
The solution is quite simple actually. Tried it on HTC Tattoo
Go to Settings>Applications>Managae Applications>Market and uninstall all the updates for Market and clear cache. Try Downloading Apps from Market.
Cheers!

Unable to download Apps on Market after I unlocked my Tmobile Vibrant
I'm also having the same problem after I unlocked my Tmobile vibrant.
If i reset my phone and go to apps market, Im able to download fine, but after closing apps market and opening it again and try downloading any apps, nothing happens. It says its "starting download" but nothing happens. It seems to be stuck at that "starting download" process. But if I reset my phone and go back to the Apps market and try downloading apps and everything will work temporary.
I tried going into settings---->applications----> manage applications----> clear cache---->reboot
Also tried going to Download Manager-Clear Data----Reboot
Also tried uninstalling updates for Apps Market.
Nothing helps.
Please help if you find a way to fix this problem.

[Q] Market down?

What's going on with the market? I literally downloaded ClockworkMod about 15 minutes ago and tried flashing something, the file wasn't there so I didn't end up flashing, turned the phone back on and the market just will NOT download. Has it gone down?
Also just quickly, if I flash RUU 1.32 or whatever it's called, will I lose root?

You will lose root, yes
And market is working fine for me
Obivously something I've done along the way, http://zantekk.de/~desire_hd/offici....140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_155891_signed.exe this is the latest version we have root for, correct?
I just installed Android RevolutionHD 2.0.15 (and after a reboot 2.0.16) for the first time and trying to get my apps on the phone through the market and it seems that i have the same problem:
If i want to download any app with any connection it tries to start and soon it sais "unable to download... plz try later blabla"
Was wondering if the problem was related to the Custom Mod AR HD because someone in the mods thread had the same problem. But when you're saying you're on stock rom i think something is going on here^^
[e] Now its working again. Seems it was related with the store and not the rom.
I did correct permissions through Rom Manager (installed with apk) though im not sure if it is related to the market now working again.

Duplicated apps after Gingerbread install.

Hi all
I downloaded Gingerbread on my Desire HD at the weekend. After playing around with it for a while I thought I would do a full Factory Data Reset to get it like it like a brand new phone with Gingerbread. Later on I downloaded the Google maps updates again only to find that the phone for some reason seems to have duplicated the Google Navigation apps and the Places apps.
Anybody know how to I can get rid of the xtra apps??
Try restarting the phone. I had this problem before but solved after restarting my phone.
Assuming your rooted, use and something like android commander or QtADB to uninstall the duplicated apps. Provided of course that a simple reboot didn't sort the issue out.
No, sorry its not rooted.

[Q] CM 10 Google Play Store refuses to work

Hey guys:
Unlocking and rooting my HTC Wildfire was the second most frustrating experience of my life. However, it's finally over and I flashed CM 10 onto my phone along with 4.1.2 GApps signed (I followed this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1878031&highlight=unlocked+bootloader+but+s-on).
Everything seemed to go well, except the Google Play Store doesn't work. It keeps giving me the "Error retrieving information from server. [RH-01]" message. I've also noted that Google Services Framework is NOT installed on my phone. I should note that I have 0 apps installed, meaning I do not have a file manager and there is no file manager/explorer that comes stock as far as I'm aware.
I've looked all over the internet and everything tells me to erase the cache because corrupted data seems to be the most common cause of this error message. This is obviously not the case with my phone. What do I need to do to get this thing to work? I've reflashed the GApps and even flashed a different one. I've tried manually downloading and installing Google Services Framework but it won't install. I've tried moving files around on my SD card (the only thing I can access from my computer) and nothing has worked.
I'm just about at my wit's end here guys. Please help me!
PS. I have a clockworkmod back-up from before my phone was rooted saved onto my computer. However it doesn't have my apps in it so I don't think I can get a file manager from it.
**FIXED**
I feel like an idiot, but the reason it wasn't working was because the CM 10 mod I was trying to install failed to install :S I wrote the warning sign off as something else and didn't read the message it sent me I guess.
ANYWAY I found a fix here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2136011 use the SLIMCM-10 ROM instead and that's what fixed if for me (use all the other downloads he has there too, except for the regular CM10 mod). Thanks for the help that I received, and sorry for being a n00b. Love this community BTW, you guys are the best!
This happened to me the first time I flashed icu's marvelc port of paranoid android...I fixed it by wiping everything and just reflashing the whole rom and gapps. Try that. Tell me if it works.

[Q] Can't download apps trough Play Store

Due some problems with my HTC ONE (M7) i had to return it to the store and use my backup phone (HTC ONE V).
It has been a while since i used it, but before switching to my new phone, everything worked fine.
After more then a year, i need to re-use my HTC ONE V and i want to make the best of it till i get my other one back.
But after trying to install some apps i bumped in to some problems. When i looked up the apps in the Play Store, i didn't get the apps i searched for.
Later it asked me to do updates on the apps that were still on it (since they haven't been updated for over a year) but when i pressed to update them, nothing happened.
When i noticed that, i wanted to try updating them manually but when i opened up the app page's, it told me my device isn't compatible (which is weird since the apps are already on the phone).
I tried a method i see a lot with Google Play issues which is deleting the Google Play updates so it goes back to the state it was in when i got the phone and letting it update again, but it doesn't update anymore.
When i look at my devices on Google Play in my browser, i see the phone standing in the list but it says it hasn't been used for over a year. My email is linked to my Google Play on my phone so i tried installing apps by pressing install on the browser version but again nothing happened.
Is there a way to fix this problem?
I am considering doing a factory reset if there is no solution but i would like to avoid that.

What if you try to:
* delete Google Play data?
* install the newest gapps compatible with the ROM you are currently using? Wipe Cache and Dalvik after that.
* update Google Play App in the first place?
