Develop Bugs

Stock ROM + Rooted, Can Connect to Google Play Store but apps wont download...

So my saga continues, i apparently bought a "development" build of a KF 8.9 HD off Craigslist. It was broken according to him so i just reflashed it and it seems to function with one exception. I say this because my tablet id is "Jem-DVT-Eng-03" which someone said is the last engineering build. Where this guy got it i dont know.

Upon a clean flash with KFHD Restore tool i couldnt connect to google...some searching and it seemed i had to edit my hosts file. Did that, now i can sign into google and log into the Play store.
The problem is when i try to download something from the store it just sits at "Downloading...." and will never progress. I know its not my wireless, because at this same time i can search for the APK for some app on google, go download it and install it via Play Store no problem.
Im starting to wonder if there is some other file to edit, or Ip to add to my hosts file so that Play Store can download properly...ive checked and cleared my Download Manager and Downloads apps which are both running as well as many reboots and it doesnt change.
If you read my previous thread, trying cyanogenmod or any other roms with their equivilent GApps just crashes Google Play immediately when i start the download, or wont start Google Play store without crashing...atleast the stock one doesnt do that. But it wont download either...
I should also note this is ONLY for apps, videos, and games. I can stream/listen to music and read books off the market fine...which is even more confusing.
EDIT UPDATE
So i stumbled upon something that may help you guys help me. I found out that if i have items in play store stuck in "downloading...", when i turn off my kindle and turn it back on when it starts up it downloads the first item, installs it and everything works. Then the second item tries to download, and the download bar just fills up, then goes back to zero, fills up and goes back to zero. If i restart again that one app will actually download and install. So to install 4 apps i have to queue them all up and then restart my kindle 4 times...better than it was before but hopefully this gives some insight into whats happening? Also apps that require an update dont update until i restart the Kindle.

[Q] Play Store error on CM11

Hey guys,
New to this forum, and trying to obey the rules, but if I'm not.. please feel free to kindly slap me in the right direction!
I just installed CM11 on my Ouya using the [ROM] [NIGHTLY] [KitKat] [4.4] CyanogenMod 11.0 nightlies thread as a guide.
After getting everything up and running successfully on my Mac (it was a bit harder than doing it with my Nexus 5 for some reason!) I am now all up and running. Seems to work great with a keyboard and mouse.
I have noticed that I am having some problems though with the install - mainly using the Play Store. The play store loads correctly, but I get the following error-
Error while retreiving information from server. RPC:S-7:AEC-0

}
I've Googled around about this and found lots of posts to do with old phones. However, all the fixes I have tried have not worked. I even erased and re-flashed CM11 to my Ouya and the same issue occurred.
I have tried:
Force-Stopping the Google Play Store, Google Play Services and Google Services Frameworks.
Clearing the app data and caches for the above
Rebooted to recovery CMW and cleaned cache and Dalvik
If anyone has any ideas, please feel free to point me in the right direction.
**UPDATE**
I just reset everything again and installed the latest CM11 nightly on my Ouya, downloaded the latest Google Play Store APK from the web using the browser and upon signing in got a slightly different error:
App could not be downloaded due to an error. (941)

Click to collapse
Googling this shows... the same kind of ways to fix it (deleting cache etc) but sadly this just doesn't work for me

Are you flashing gapps after the ROM?

As far as I know, I did yea... Please tell me its something that simple!

Well it could be the gapps package, the OUYA has a pretty small system partition so only the banks minimal or pa micro gapps will fit. Also it could be crappy WiFi which is really common, these things really suck when it comes to WiFi. I have to tether mine from my phone.

[VZW VS986] Apps disappearing after rebooting

LG G4 Verizon Wireless VS986
Stock everything, unrooted, and up-to-date as of post
Android Version: 6.0
Security Patch Level: 2016-03-01
Kernel: 3.10.84-g4790274
Build: MRA58K
Software version: VS98625A
Device encryption enabled, but not on the SD card.
All apps are installed on the device. The SD card only contains music, podcasts, and pictures.
Issue: Starting this week some times when I reboot there are missing apps when the phone powers back up. I havent noticed this after every reboot, but maybe i...just havent noticed.
A few days ago I rebooted my phone to see it "Optimizing apps" after entering my encryption password as if I had cleared dalvik cache or performed an OS or kernel upgrade or something. After completion the phone started up as normal but probably a dozen apps were missing. Most notably Hangouts, my calendar app, and Google Now... I rebooted again 2 nights ago and Pocket Casts, my budgeting app, and Light Flow, amongst others, were missing. I rebooted again this morning and my fking launcher was missing (Nova). WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON WITH MY PHONE?
Even stranger is when I reinstall an app I barely need to change any settings; the data must still be on the phone because almost all my settings and profiles are immediately present. When i re-installed my budgeting up I was still signed in and synced (cloud subscription service). When i reinstalled Nova my desktops were exactly how they were minutes earlier before the reboot. After re-installing Hangouts I was still signed into the appropriate google accounts and not signed into the one I don't use for Hangouts. When I re-installed Google Now I wasn't even presented with the setup wizard and tutorial and all the cards I'd expect were there and accurate.
Since the VZW G4 is not easily rooted or bootloader unlocked not only have I been stuck with whatever Verizon and LG deemed worthy of me using (read: NOT using) in addition to already being on my second phone due to the boot loop hardware issue., but now i've got this to deal with? This phone was supposed to be awesome, but if not for the removable battery and sd slot I'd have moved on months ago.
I'm gonna FDR this evening or tomorrow evening if I can't find a real solution. Has anyone seen anything like this before???

bump

Personally I hadn't heard that before, but a quick (Google) search indicates it's happening with various phones. My first thought was check for virus..

Performed a FDR this week and the issue has been resolved. Super weird.

Unable to Login to Dropbox After Installing LineageOS

As per the title: a couple of weeks ago, I installed LineageOS 14,1 on my HTC One M8 [previously had rooted Marshmallow GPE installed]
Since then, I've been completely unable to login to Dropbox. I just get this really uninformative dialogue each time:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
and an equally uninformative message in CatLog:
Code:
03-02 15:31:58.151 E/com.dropbox.android.user.AccountStore(28183): Failed to add account
Annoyingly, even though the error persists, whenever I try to login, I receive an email from Dropbox saying "We noticed a new sign in..." and, when I visit Dropbox in a browser, my phone is listed as being a linked device. I can also access Dropbox without a problem via browser on my phone. It's only the app that keeps throwing up this error.
I've tried all the usual tricks like uninstalling & reinstalling the Dropbox app as well as clearing Cache & Data. Also asked Titanium Backup Pro to remove all traces of Dropbox. But nothing has worked. I still get the same error and Dropbox support have been about as much use as a chocolate teapot –unable to do more than suggest I try re-installing the app.
Now, I'm 99% certain that the problem is with Dropbox but, seeing as it only began after I installed LineageOS, I've got to ask whether anyone else has run into similar problems and, if so, how did you resolve it?

Can't help you, it works perfectly for me...

It's unbelievable. I have nuked every single scrap of data relating to Dropbox from my phone; uninstalled app, deleted cache, deleted data, asked Titanium backup to remove all traces of it. Done a root access search for any files/folders on the whole of my device with 'dropbox' in the name and deleted them too. And yet, when I re-install it again and try to login, the exact same thing happens. I've never known an app to so stubbornly refuse to let its slate be wiped clean.
And, as I said in my 1st post, I'm pretty certain the culprit is Dropbox itself. But I just wanted to check in case there was some weird LineageOS voodoo involved too.

[Mi10T Pro] App selection stopped working. I am looking for help

Hello
This is my first post so please be understanding.
I have been using the phone from the beginning as a regular user. I haven't made any modifications or changes to it (like root change etc.)
Recently, the official update of MIUI to version 13.0.8 appeared and after that the application selection stopped working. I had no problems with the phone before.
For example: An attempt to open a pdf file brought up a window with a list of various applications that handled the file. The same thing happened with other files or URLs. I have several browsers, so depending on what I wanted to open the Internet address with, I indicated the right choice.
Now the window shows up, but trying to tap the three dots immediately brings up a random app, each time a different one, no additional window pops up. No list of any apps expands.
I thought that maybe the problem will solve itself after resetting the phone. I set everything up again, did not restore any backups. Unfortunately, the problem is the same. I don't have any default settings.
What can be done? The problem is very irritating. I have no idea.
Apart from this problem, everything else works fine.
I will appreciate any help or suggestions
Screenshots are in Polish, if necessary I can translate.

Hello, I suffered from the same bug for a long time until I found the culprit.
You just have to uninstal updates of the Xiaomi Mi Browser (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mi.globalbrowser). Sadly it can't be easily uninstalled. Maybe it can be done with ADB, but I have not tried yet. Remember to disable automatic updates from the PlayStore to avoid it to update. This will cause the bug again.
I also suffer other bugs like an ugly and forced dark mode when the battery is below 40%. I was always tempted to install a custom ROM, but the stock camera features (manual focus, lens distortion correction, 108 MPX, zoom...) are important for me.

Thanks for the help. This solved part of the problem. Now I have a choice when opening files but still no choice when opening URLs.
Maybe someone else?
