[Q] Apps showing up in Market as installing even though they aren't

When I look in the the "Downloads" section of the Market app, it shows 3 apps constantly installing even though they aren't and they are not on the top of the list. They are Titanium Backup, AutoKiller, and XDA Developers. I can use these apps without issue. When I try long pressing any of these items, only an the option "Details" pop up and going to the page is also useless. I tried uninstalling Titanium Backup to see if it would get rid of it but it doesn't and now I cannot reinstall Titanium Backup since I cannot cancel the false installation! Shutting off the phone and reflashing my Rom does not help. If I need to wipe may I have the Titanium apk so I can adb install it to my phone?
Edit: Never mind I fixed it.

I/O error write to sd card (mybackup pro)

trying to restore apps and i get this message! ? fix?
the restore of data was fine but apps wont!

I'm getting this too when trying to restore my data after flashing a new rom. Let me know if you hear of any solutions.
The mybackup website says its an SD card error.. that may be the case, but it was working fine an hour ago on the old rom I had (because I'm new I can't post the link, but a quick google to their FAQ and you'll see what I mean)

I think my issue was due to the SD card. I reformatted it and then copied the contents back again from my laptop. I've now re-installed the new ROM and am using mybackup root to restore my contents as I type this - all seems fine so far

Thanks for the feedback.
What did you format normal or ext or both

I had the same error. I don't find how to fix it but how to recover my data app.
Save the backup on your PC
Execute all .apk in my save folder from your phone
Launch mybackup to do another apps save with data
Copy all file wich are not .apk in the old backup (on your pc) and past them in the new backup folder on your phone (replace all existing file)
And finaly restor the backup, it will restore the data with the app
It's not "user friendly" but it worked for me, it was not a SD card issue

I was having this same issue. Watching alogcat revealed that an apk that MBP was expecting was not there, causing an IO error.
I tried to restore again, this time unselecting that specific app and it appears to be working.
So to fix it, install alogcat and watch for errors as the restore is taking place. This should clue you in on the problem.

This was exactly my problem. Seems like the ****ing program didn't actually back up a damned thing. The folder which was supposed to have the backed-up APKs was completely empty.
I had to restore from an older backup and it worked.
I guess that's just what happens when you rely on free apps.

Just got the same STUPID problem - I'll try the fix above.
The only reason I chose MyBackup Root was because you can do "0-click batch restore" for free which you can't with the free version of Titanium Backup.
EDIT: Backups won't restore. It says "I/O Error". I've had the SD card for a few weeks and it was working perfectly with Titanium Backup. Also, everything's been properly installed formatted and fixing permissions and clearing caches makes no difference.
EDIT 2: After running aLogcat, it says that Mybackup has the following error: "...apps/appnamehere: open failed: EM0ENT (No such file or directory). It's like this for most of my of apps (and I have hundreds) that are now lost with all their data!
Also, none of the apps that do restore so far link to the market (it says this after restore).
This app really needs updating to resolve these serious issues.

When backing up apps and data again it STILL won't backup some apps!! Any suggestions?

[Q] GPlay store?!?! Nandroid Backup!?!??!

1) I'm having a problem with GPlay, when I open it, it says "Error retrieving information from server. [RH-01]"
Is it only me or all are having the same ?
2) Do I have to wipe data & cache before restoring a nandroid backup
?
Thanks very much n advance

try wiping data or restoring it to an older version.

I did cleared its data and uninstalled the updates but the problem still exists [Server error]
The 2nd thing is a question not related to the GPlay store problem.

2) no you don't have to

[Q] insufficient storage available

I have 2.6gb free, and I cannot install or update any apps. insufficient storage keeps popping up. Is there a fix for this on the Galaxy S4? I am running stock rom and kernel, just rooted.

Have you tried a reboot? Or clearing data on the play store app?
Sent from Flip's Galaxy S4

yep, tried clearing data and cache from playstore, and google frameworks. Rebooted into recovery, wiped dalvik. Uninstalled and freed up to 4.6gb of space and it still says insufficient storage.

This is a bug that showed up for me in JB and I think it has to do with rooting as well (not sure).
(HINT - The error is really not insufficient storage but this is the only error code that playstore understands...)
But here is the fix-
1. Use a root explorer and go to /data directory
2. (I'm on conference call right now so I cannot verify the dir names but they should be close) Go to the applib and the data directories (/data/applib and /data/data), there ought to be folders of the app that you cannot install, just delete them and go back to the playstore and install the update.
3. If there error still there then, go to /data/app as well, and delete the app completely.
4. WARNING, you will (may) lose the settings for whatever app you have error with, so you may want to backup the app beforehand and then restore the app (data only) after doing all of this.

I used to get such errors even on a custom firmware based off Sprint's stock Evo 3D ice cream sandwich image... wish I would've known this sooner. (I also used app2sd and even though I had like half of my SD card left it would still toss up this error.)

[SOLVED] Trying to reinstall gmail, error 506

Hello, I have just bought a new G4, and rooted it perfectly, by flashing the rooted system with adb.
That same day, gmail starts to pop up errors and force close after restoring data from TB (my fault!) so I decide to uninstall the upgrades. Play store get frozen on "uninstalling..." untill I have no other option but rebooting the system. Now, gmail is completely gone. Uninstalled. But if I try to reinstall it via play store, TB, aptoide, even downloading the apk, I get the error message "insufficient space, try uninstalling the app before. Error -506"
I have cleared caches, system cleaner, I have deleted (moved to the SD) the dead gmail files at system/data... but the error persists! Now I have run out of ideas, please help.
Forgot to mention, I can install or uninstall the rest of apps. It is only gmail the one that causes problems.
SOLVED: Finally, SDMaid was able to delete a corpse I have missed, so I could reinstall it as a user app. The force close was still there, but after some reboots, TB was able to turn it into a system app. Now it works again.
