app updates - downloads not starting anymore

I didn't update my apps for about 2 weeks since I was more or less in a permanent network trouble. When I now try to update my apps, it's always said, the downloas are about to start, but they never do...
I am running froyo 2.2 and app 2 sd - no idea what's wront here...
hope somebody could help me out!
thx

Very occasionally my downloads stall and to fix it I generally:
1. Cancel all downloads
2. Check that I'm logged into Talk
3. Start the downloads again
This usually fixes it for me.
Regards,
Dave

I also had this from time to time and usually after a reboot it worked, but this time it already persists a while and the updates are getting more n more.I also thought that I started too many at once. But also a single one won't start...
By talk you mean gtalk? Why is that?
Thx

Essentially (and rather simplistically!), for many services, the OS uses the GTalk protocol to communicate with the device.
Regards,
Dave

Didn't know that. How do I check? if I click in the freak icon after a second I'm back on the desktop with that icon. Does that mean I was logged in?

Me too...I'm having problems to update my applications and when I click on Google Talk the application makes me return to Home
Any problems with Google servers???
Thanks

GTalk is working fine for me, so I suggest posting a logcat for the period when you attempt to sign into GTalk.
Regards,
Dave

I assume a logcat is a certain type of logfile? How do I generate this?
thx

If you have ADB setup on your PC, you can simply connect your phone via USB and type ADB LOGCAT in a command window (you need to have USB Debugging switched on). If you don't have that, you can download an app (e.g. aLogCat).

no, haven't installed this. Is it also necessary to install it on the phone or just on the computer?
installing on the phone would be quite cynical

help folks!

Yes.
There's nothing to install on the phone, you just need to enable USB Debugging from the Development menu.

Right, i experienced exactly the same problem shortly after doing update to 2.2. I've read somewhere (if i find a link, i'll post it here) that update from 2.1 to 2.2 doesn't carry personal data and settings transfer very well.
Tryed restore to no luck.
My fix.
1.Format memory card first.
2. factory restore
3. format memory card again (in case it managed to back up my settings after 1st format and before restore)
4. factory restore (in case back up happend and it managed to restore my settings)
5. sign in to google ******@GOOGLEMAIL.com , even though my e-mail IS @gmail.com and it shows @gmail.com on the phone.
No problem since
Hope no 3 and 4 make sense to you.
Hope that helps.

There you go

As you can see i simplified procedure a lot.

still trying to figure with the ADB.
I am stuck with the USB drivers - can't find them in the download package as described
Finally, you need to install the USB drivers. Again, the instructions are present in the SDK guide as well, but here’s how you can do it. Please note that my device was a Samsung GT-i5700 Galaxy Lite, and since I had Samsung drivers already installed, this didn’t happen to me. The procedure I am describing here is theoretical and taken from the SDK manual.
The drivers for both x86 and x64 systems are present in the SDK, under <sdk>\usb_driver\x86 and <sdk>\usb_driver\x64, respectively.

what is meant by the bold part?Can't find the drivers in the downloaded sdk package!

anybody got advice?
thx!

I'm really in need for help - more and more apps are getting out of date and I can't update them! I just don't know where to find those mentioned USB drivers!

Try my fix. Yes, I know, you will have to start from scratch with the phone, but it's worth it.

I appreciate your help - but I'd really loive to check within the logfiles what's exactely wrong, dause that could trace the root and help others instead of just starting all over.
I'm just surprised that there's little response out here...

Possible to access local contact?

I have a case with a Desire which is stuck at a bootloop, and before trying to reflash, I would like to know if there is any way to access the local contacts which unfortunately hasn't been backed up or synced

Why not just try to get it working again???
It's only a bootloop - can you access bootloader or recovery??
Bootloader info please - are you s - off?

If you are rooted, you can adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases/contacts2.db
You should be able to open this in SQLite
The view you want to look at is view_v1_Phones (view).
best bet would be to pull the whole com.android.providers.contacts folder and fix your phone. If you have to wipe, you can push this back.

Thanks for your reply guys
To start with, I'll let you know that it's not my own HTC desire, It's a friend of mine, and he just tells me that it's stuck in somekind of a bootloop, and his first question was how to save/backup local contacts before trying anything else (reflash or something else which includes wiping the device)

Nothing I can think of that can be done then, sorry,

Hope your friend will use Google Sync in the future....
Why people still don't do backup!?

Windows does not see my G2

Hi Everyone
The problem is that Windows 7 64 bits, does not see my G2 anymore.
It does charge when i plug the USB.
I've tried on a different PC so I don't think the PC is the problem.
I have Cyanogen Mod installed as ROM. I can't get adb, nothing through the USB cable. Switch to diff cables as well just in case, installed Sense ROM as well no luck yet
Please help

did you install the htc usb drivers?
(google for them or install htc sync)

could not find on google the drivers.
any htc sync would work?
can't find any htc sync specific for g2

If I didnt remember wrongly, it has something to do with ADB. Go google for "google usb driver".

so i´ve done the searching - hit the thanks button

Download HTC Sync from the support section of HTC's website, they have one version for all their Android phones. That will give you the drivers you need. Also see the adb guide in my signature.

"HELP" Updated to jelly bean - USB options missing/ Need HTC Sync apk

A friend of mine helped me install jellybean on my desireHD. (JellyTime_R9)
1. Now when I connect my phone to PC via USB cable, I only get the option for data transfer. Earlier I could use the internet pass through and use the PC's internet connection through phone.
2. I would also like to have the HTC sync back? I searched a lot but couldn't locate the .apk file for the same.
Any help in this regard is greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Arun

You can have those only on Sense ROMs. JT is not Sense.

that's what I was afraid of! that internet pass through was an useful feature, but then I guess it's a trade off and have to live with it!

I'm not sure but try googling if there are some 3rd party apps that would have this functionality...

Wiped phone along with backup

I was flashing a new ROM to my Sprint S3 when I accidentally wiped internal storage (where I had my backup and my CM). Now I have no OS and no recovery files on my phone. I backed everything up on TiBu and moved the files to my laptop just in case, but I cant figure out how to access them from TWRP. Any ideas? Im trying not to panick because I know you guys can fix pretty much anything, but I need my phone for work in the morning. Thanks in advance.

You need to go into advanced settings in TWRP and sideload a rom, or if you have a sdcard reader put it in your pc and load a rom onto it.

Thank you!

:good: Worked perfectly and was very painless. Thanks for coming through for me. Any recommendations on a kernel to go along with CM10.2.1 (Stable)?
I was thinking of going with leankernel

I don't have a kernel recommendation, sorry. I actually only use TW roms.

Honestly, it all depends on your personal phone. My friends seem to work better with a 3rd party kernel while mine only works well with the stock CM one or Touchwiz one.

One more problem: I had everything backed-up on TiBu, but that includes bloatware that I am trying to get rid of. How can i just import contacts, without anything else?

I'm not sure, all my contacts are saved in Google.

For future reference, how does one accomplish this?
Anybody have any other ideas? I tried syncing but Facebook has more numbers than any of my other networks and it doesnt seem to sync, even after reboot.

Did you try going into settings, then adding facebook as an account? I always use google to auto sync contacts it makes things easier.

I did. I have rebooted and resynced, still nothing. It even has a little check mark next to it, so it thinks its synced. Could it have something to do with my fb security settings?
How do I autosync my google account and contacts?
Sorry for the tidal wave of questions. You guys (and gals?) have been really great!
