Can't Update Apps - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

Hey, everyone. I've recently come across an issue with Google Play. I'm running CyanFox 2.0.1 which is Android 4.4.2. I don't believe this is a ROM issue. I haven't bothered to wipe and reflash yet. I came across this issue about a week of running CyanFox 2.0.1, so it didn't pop up right away. Anyways, the issue is that I can not update any apps. When I open the Play Store and go to my apps, it tells me there aren't any updates. I know this is wrong because if I open up Aptoide, it tells me there are updates for my apps. However, if I try to update via Aptoide, I get an error that says the App Package name already exists and it can't install. Not sure what is going on, but I'm hoping there is an easy fix without having to wipe and reflash everything.
Thanks

You could try to remove your google account and then re-add it. I've been running this rom w/o issue for almost 3 weeks (unofficial and now official) of course I started by using the wipe for new rom option in Philz recovery (under factory reset)
As always, a clean flash is always recommended (the XDA mantra) :highfive:

You could also try clearing Party Store data and cache in the app manager first.

Thanks for the suggestion! I did clean flash when I originally flashed the ROM, I just didn't want to wipe everything and reflash just to get the apps to update. I tried removing and re-adding the account without any luck. I think I'll just wait for the next CyanFox build before I wipe anything. Thanks for the suggestion, though

Yeah, I've read their site and I don't know what their ROM cycle is. Not weekly as the Official came out the 18th.

I was looking around their Google + page and found a post that said they're trying to get builds out at least once a month. I know they just upgraded their servers, so build times are much shorter now. But yeah, I don't think they really have a release schedule. They're doing a good job, though. Looks like their user base is growing quite rapidly

yeah they're doing really great. I can't wait to see whats next.

[Q] IC Senseless V1.0

Long time reader, not into posting, so my post count is low.
I have a issue. I flashed IceCream Senseless V1.0 yesterday. My market is not working. I keep getting the force close with the following.
"The application Google Play Store ( Processcom.android.vending) has stopped unexpexpectdly. Please try again."
I was able to download Titanium Back Up from the Market right after the flash. This morning I had notices for updates to apps, I clicked to open them, and thats when the FC startted. I was not able to download the updates.
This is my favorite rom so far. Any thoughts on a fix?
What GApps are you using? I had that problem when using evervolv so I just downloaded the newest GApps and did a full wipe plus a fresh install.

Have you tried clearing data for the Play Store? If so, you may just have to reflash the rom either without wiping or doing a full wipe and flash.

If I'm not mistaken, the rom is based on Sense and Gingerbread so there are no GApps to flash. It's all included, just themed for ICS.

[Q] CM 10.1 - Play Store + Superuser Bug?

Hi everyone,
So I just recently updated my CM10 to CM10.1 on my S3 (d2att; SGH-I747M), and came across a weird bug.
I don't know if this is a really bizarre feature, or just a bug, but in the Play store, I can ONLY see apps/games! Not books, not music, not magazines, not movies, nor TV. Before this update, I had all of the above.
Also, CM10.1 came with Superuser, and after doing several factory(data)/cache/dalvik cache resets, the Superuser app seems to still crash when I try to allow an app permissions by clicking "Allow" in the "Allow/Deny" screen/popup when an app needs Superuser perms. A temp. workaround is to use CF-AutoRoot by Chainfire to put SuperSU and just disable superuser.
Any way to fix this and does anyone else have one of these, or both of these 'bugs'?
Thanks!
Michael
EDIT: Fixed Superuser bug by updating to latest nightly!
I have not yet seen anyone else report this bug. I am running the 12/23 cm10.1 as we speak and have no issue with the play store or super user. I would recommend to wipe cache, dalvik, and factory reset, then reflash 10.1 and the latest 4.2.1 gapps.
Unfortunately you will lose your data doing this. I flashed a clean update. If you flashed a dirty update, it can cause problems.
Good luck!

[Q] Out of Space?

I tried to install an application and I received a notice that says 'Could not be installed. Free up some space and try again'
Something is very screwy. I have 22GB available.
Had no trouble before but now I can't install any app or manually update an app.
What gives?

I just rooted and have TWRP as my recovery and that's it. I'm running stock V8. I haven't accepted update to V9

Just remember not to accept OTA v9 as it will break root. You will need to flash one of the ROMs from the Dev forum to keep it.
I lasted about 3 days on rooted v8 before I decided I was going to accidentally hit the "Yes, Update" button and flashed a v9.

Remember, don't accept the OTA to v9, flash a v9 ROM instead or as of now, you can't re-root.

Wow. That's not something I had seen when I had this problem. I saw this happen fairly regularly after a flash on the Epic, but never stock. I really wish I had some insight on this, unfortunately I do not. Not being an overly tech savvy individual I can't provide much more than the experiences I have had.
Good luck with it, I hope you can figure it out!

I was able to stop the update notification via Autostart app that someone here had suggested. So for now, everything is working fine but I am considering checking out the Imperium Initiative Rom.
Anyway, thanks for all the inputs

Well here we go again! I have 22GB free!
Tried to install app but get the same 'Free up space' pop up.
I've cleaned the data & cache from Play store as someone suggested, same problem
Rebooted, as I did before to fix problem, same problem
I've even cleared backups that I've had, same problem
I am rooted on stock V8 using the updated TWRP (2.4) recovery
This is quite annoying
The same thing happened to me when I tried to install Gameloft's Wild Blood and Titanium Backup 6. I tried clearing cache in recovery with no luck.
HOW DID I FIX IT: I went into SETTINGS--BACKUP&RESET then FACTORY RESET. It resets the phone to factory but kept root and didn't erase storage. Everything installs fine now

[Rom] [4.2.2] Xylon 05.22.13

Second time compiling for this device, I am sure there will be errors/issues...
Xylon AOSP
Download : Xylon(k) 2.7.7 - 05.22.13
Standard gapps package is recommended. BaNkS gapps package is also a good choice.
I do -not- own this device so please be patient. This was not pretested in any way this time, so please report back promptly about any serious issues so I can try to get them resolved and so other users don't have to suffer the same fate.
for more information on the rom, please visit http://xylon.androidvenue.com or look at other xda xylon threads for pretty pictures and such.
This is -not- straight from source, there are many manual edits(additions, changes, removals) done after the rom is finished building before I upload it.
Thanks to the Xylon team for the sources.
Thanks to Chainfire for SuperSU
Rom source : Here
Kernel source : Here
another best rom combine with marmite kernel . thumbs up

I wasnt able to download anything from the market, i guess you arent having this issue? I tried standard and Banks gapps? I also tried restoring the play store from a backup. This was all without restoring any other apps or data, just full wipe and flash the rom and gapps and reboot.

I wasn't able to download anything from the market either. I used latest Gapps for JB and also tried BaNks. It recognized that I had 20 apps to restore and even showed progress bars for downloading, it just never did. I did full wipe both times I tried different Gapps pkg. If I could download anything at all, this would be my daily. Blazing fast. The smoothest rom I've seen on my ns4g.

let me guess. were you on wifi? because i just tried again on regular 3g-4g and they all started downloading.....s-l-o-w-l-y... And then when i turned wifi back on they all stopped again. Turned wifi it back off and sure enough the progress bar started moving. I can download other things via wifi dropbox links etc, so im pretty sure its not the wifi here at home. Plus my laptop is on wireless and can dl stuff, but for some reason the market on the phone wont let me dl anything over wifi. very weird.

I've had no issues really, I don't even remember flashing a gapps package (I usually set everything up before flashing gapps) and the play store was there. I may be wrong and I did flash a gapps but I'd give that a try

Sorry I have no idea on the market issue. I use this rom as a daily (although on another device) with no issues so its a little upsetting you guys are having trouble that I can't replicate
I will be updating this rom very soon, with hopefully major speed improvements.

thanks man.would a logcat be helpful in this case?
Couldn't hurt. And I'm open to suggestions on how to fix things and potential improvements. I am by no means an expert or real dev and as said before not owning the device makes it even harder to test out potential fixes. You can either pm it to me, or post it in this thread. Probably the thread way would be better so other users could potentially help out.
When reporting issues, please only do so from a clean install and not after restoring data. Also mention the gapps used.
unable to download from market over wifi
So i wiped/formatted everything that could be wiped except sdcard and installed xylon and banks gapps. signed into my wifi and google and unchecked restore from market option. started logcat and clicked play store and immediately tried to update nova. heres the logcat

just for fun, could you try the same thing with the standard gapps package off of goo.im? I believe I am using bank's myself but the file name is GApps 4.2.2. Multi Dpi.zip and I have no issue. thank you for the logcat and I'll try to see if I can make sense of any of it.
could also try changing your build.prop, change the dalvik.vm.dexopt-flags to
dalvik.vm.dexopt-flags=m=y
I don't think it should do it but a buddy of mine mentioned it causing issues for him in the past

[Q] Updating To Cm-10.2-20130907-Nightly From Cm-10.1.2

Hi,
I was trying to update to the nightly version of CyanogenMod, so I went to the update part in the settings and selected the latest nightly. I want to update for the Google Voice integration with any app. Upon downloading and restarting the phone to apply the update, it was at the screen with this (bit.ly/1a9E9NF) and 'Samsung Galaxy S III' written on the top but wouldn't move past that. I was able to boot into recovery mode and I installed CM-10.1.2 (Stable) on a microSD and applied that update so I was able to take control of the phone again, however; I was not able to get the nightlies. Can anyone help with that?
On a different note, when I updated back to CM-10.1.2 (Stable) the Google Play store would not work and many Google Apps would crash, I fixed this by going back into recovery mode and re installing GApps, is that related at all?
Right now, I have everything exactly as I had it before trying to go to nightlies, my issue is how do I update to nightlies now? Did I do something incorrect?
I have a Samsung Galaxy S III AT&T - I747. This is where I downloaded the update to my microSD card: bit.ly/14KMExv
Thank You,

How do you personally flash ROMS? Flashing them wrong can cause issues. Do you wipe everything first and then flash the software? Your supposed to wipe in recovery data, cache, and dalvik cache in that order or at least that's what I do each time. It always works for me.

Well, I am only updating my ROM, not flashing a new one. So wiping my phone would be unnecessary and inconvenient. I've updated before but only to stable versions, this is the first time I've tried a nightly.

Nightlies are a totally different breed. Whenever I flash ROM. I wipe everything. Since the latest nightly is a different android version from the previous android version. I am highly recommending flashing clean not dirty. The GAPPs are different also. It might be inconvenient but flashing clean eliminates many issues.

Thanks for the response! I really don't want to do a factory reset so I guess I'll go to my second option. The only reason I really want the nightly is for the Google Voice to Stock SMS integration which was available in the July Nightlies, is there an archive to those nightlies.

Here's a link to MSgtSimon's CyanogenMod d2att archive. I believe 0813 was the last 10.1 nightly (I had been running it for over a week without any major hiccups). You could also try 10.1.3-RC2 (I'm not sure how stable this is since I haven't used it) if you wanted the ROM to have the most recent patches.

I'm running the latest nightly (0908) without any problems. I believe there was a problem with the online builder before. You can see that the nightlies for 0906 and 0907 (the two that didn't work) were only 184mb in size compared to the rest of the 10.2 ROMs that are 193mb in size.
