Develop Bugs

What am i doing wrong ! (app install)

Hello
Got my phone today, love it...(although reception is poor in the middle of my Basement flat! )
Anyway, im new to android but ive managed to set up my account to get stuff from the market place, ive got seesmic and the update for google maps ready for download but the just seem to be sitting in the "currently downloading" section of the store, each one says starting to download but there's no progress on the bar (just the little candy striped thing turning, but no actual downloading !)
whats up with that !?
Could very well be something dumb ive done or not done !
any help
(although reception is poor i am connected through my wifi, i guess that works for downloading apps too!?)

It can happen sometimes, just cancel download and start it up again... Maybe try doing one at a time...
If the problem persists let us know...

Probably something to do with your reception, I notice it seems to be buggy when downloading and your connection switches from 3G to 2G

Thanks Man
Ill give it a go and see what happens
on a side note, i remember your post about the store being slow and you having to enable some content or something...what was that about ?

I have no idea, it seems to have fixed itself now. Definately something to do with T-Mobile's rom and their content lock for under 18's not the OS itself.

just went for a factory reset in the end !
Still, sorted the problem nicely
Cheers Chaps
Also, whilst im on, anyone have any views on the best browser for the phone ?
Not that i dont like the default one, just wondered about peoples favourite alternatives
Thanks

Dolphin and Opera Mini are popular alternatives.

I have this problem as well. It appears on and off and I can't find a pattern. Sometimes rebooting the phone solves the problem and other times it doesn't.

question. Your network got a content lock? could it be screwing up the market?
I know i had to disable t-mobiles one just to even get in there.

I'm just giving the latest opera browser a go. While it's quite different, i do like it! It seems a little faster to use than the default one. My suggestion is to go with juicydefender, for the first week if not all the time. It really does enhance the battery life. Doubled mine for my first week

How to configure juicedefender in the proper way? I managed to set it to use Wifi only at specified time, but how can I force the other softwares (weather widget, gmail client, etc.) to use the data connection in THAT period of time when juicedefender turns the wifi on?

[Q] Unable to download from Market using 3G?

Update with fix [Thanks jayclapp!]
For anyone with this issue, go into your APN settings and remove anything in the "Proxy" field, right below "APN". Fixed the problem immediately for me + jayclapp!

Hi all,
Having an issue downloading anything from the android market on 3G. 3G works for everything else besides downloading from the market (browsing, email, sync, etc).
When I switch to wifi, I can download from the market perfectly fine.
I've tried a friends SIM with a different carrier, and it DOES work over 3G.
Logcat of the issue happening From what I can tell the error starts around line 50, but I included the full log in case it helps.
I'm not much of a developer so I'm just trying to determine why exactly it's happening, as Android simply spits out a pop-up with the useless message:
[App name here] could not be downloaded due to an error.
I have a friend on the same carrier with a Nexus S and she can download apps from the market fine. Haven't been able to test her SIM in my phone yet though.
I've found some others with a similar issue (although not restricted to only happening over 3G): http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Android+Market/thread?tid=5a31588b6f655e89&hl=en
None of the solutions there helped though. I've cleared market data, wiped, factory reset, tried different roms, etc.
I'd really appreciate any help.

i'm having the same problem - using a galaxy nexus on tmobile. haven't had the change to try on wifi yet.

Glad I'm not the only one...
By searching pastebin, I've found a few others that pasted their logcats with the same issue, but I can't find wherever they posted it to see if a solution ever happened.
One solution I found was to delete / rename the .android_secure folder on the "SD" card, but I see that folder on my phone. I know dotfiles are hidden by default but I'm showing hidden files and I don't even see .android_secure from adb shell.
I'm on Mobilicity in Canada, which also uses AWS bands, not sure if that has anything to do with it.

I don't like bumping, but I still have this issue and was hoping someone could help out.
Sucks only being able to download apps over wifi.

I saw Josh Topolsky from The Verge has been complaining about this issue on twitter the last couple days.
www.twitter.com/joshuatopolsky

I've tried everything to fix it, tried different roms, kernels, wiping, factory reset, different SIM cards, nothing will fix it.
The 403 error indicates that it's Google's servers that are forbidding the connection...but I see no reason why they would, and it's not like I can change the IP address of what my phone is being assigned by the 3G towers.

Everthing was fine on stock untill i flashed revolution hd 1.3.1... I had the same problem with market but for some reason i enabled wifi and started downloading stuff from the market...then i turned it off and magic it worked thru att 3g...
I hope this temp solution might help you guys out or maybe it just worked for me

Ditto
I'm facing the same issue with a Galaxy Nexus (bought from Virgin) on Mobilicity in Toronto: market works on wifi, but not on 3g.

I'm having this problem too. With Orange in Spain.
But is not a constant problem. Sometimes works fine, and another ones not. When the error comes out I try again several times untill it works. If doesn't I whait to have Wifi.
But as I said it isn't always. But some type of bug is.

I got the Galaxy Nexus yesterday from Virgin Mobile and using it with my Telus SIM and Android Market downloads dont work using the mobile network but switch to wifi I can download from Market. I've tried everything you mentioned as well and still no luck.

I have noticed some delays in downloading but I am pretty sure it is becasue of the "little" 10 Billion Apps promotion thats causing the issues.. the market must be seeing a lot more traffic than it can cope with.. servers must be over loaded!
Try market at off peak times (worked for me)!
This theory syncs quite well with the 10 Billion Apps promotion.. just a thought!

Unfortunately that isn't the reason. It's definitely something more serious / buggy than simply too much traffic. It's been going on for almost 2 weeks now, well before that promotion even started.
Anyone feel like pulling a logcat and seeing if it matches up with mine? I'd suspect it does (403 Forbidden errors).
It basically boils down to Google's servers rejecting the connection for one reason or another. 403 error = The server is connectable, but knowingly refused the connection. It's something on Google's end, but I don't understand why certain devices are being rejected while others aren't.

Went to apn settings and removed the proxy and now i can download from market over celluar

Just wanted to confirm your fix worked for me jayclapp!
Updating the OP with the fix, in case anyone stumbles across the same issue.

Bumping up the thread but i believe it's for a good reason.
I had the same problem with I9100 after upgrading to ICS from GB. Talked to Google play support, their solutions weren't helpful (erasing cache and stuff) and they said it's a carrier problem. I used another SIM from the same carrier and it still wasn't working....
So.... Stumbled on this thread, erased the proxy and now it's working!!!
So, i'm bumping this thread so it will perhaps show up in google in a higher search position and to say thanks to the OP (besides the thanks button)

[Q] Play Store and You Tube not working properly

Hello,
This is my first post. I am sorry, if I break any rules or norm of xda-developers. Sorry, if that happens, but I don't intend to disrespect or hurt anyone. I have high respect for the developers and I have been learning a lot about Android because of you guys. Thanks for that.
Lately I have been experiencing an issue on my Note 2. Sorry, but I can't really pin point what I did that it's going all crazy. I searched online using our friend, google, and saw that many others have this issue. My apps are not getting updated, for that matter, none of the devices (Nexus 7, and a Samsung Galaxy S Duos) at my home are able to do that. So, I am assuming its a Router issue. I tried changing DNS address and firewall settings. None of them worked. I am mostly on Wifi, but these issues don't surface when I use cellular data. Maybe, its the router itself.
Other than that, YouTube isn't loading specific videos and keeps logging me out. Some "specific" (they are not 18+) videos won't load no matter what I do to load them. Other videos work fine. However, I didn't try to load them on cellular data so far.
Contacts are not syncing. I tried whatever suggestions people offered. It works for few minutes, and then fail. AGAIN and AGAIN. To keep it simple, I turned off syncing from every other app, Skype, Samsung etc except for google. Turned off sync completely. Made a .vcf file as backup. Deleted all my contacts related data, from Phone and GMail. Yes, it did hurt. Mailed myself vcf file. Imported all my contacts to Gmail. Turned on sync with google on my phone. And, it worked fine, for few minutes. Back to square one after that. I am not sure if problem lies with one of the contacts as this was the best I could think of to solve my sync issues.
One of the correlations I was able to establish was to make Play Store and YouTube work, I had to first get my sync problem out of the way. For the moments for which it was working, everything else was working.
So far I have not tried factory reset. I have my reservations regarding it. I have experience in ROOTING, flashing, overclocking etc. Did that for my desire, and my friends desire C. But I am satisfied with how my phone was working, and so far am not looking to Root it. But if you think that factory reset or rooting could solve my problem, please enlighten me.
Thanks for the help. Really appreciate it.

You can try factory resetting one of them and use a different Google account. Perhaps nothing should be same as the other two devices. If yes then it could be an issue with the account or some apps. If no it could be an Internet or router problem. Try data or something.
Next try factory reset other device but this time give it details as the device you reset earlier. See how they go. If it goes fine thanks factory reset them back and this time your original account. See if it works or not. This will jot down what the problem is.
If it works then something was wrong with your devices. If not then something is wrong with your account.

Thanks for replying (I also clicked the button as I figured people appreciate that more) and thanks to all other 60+ people for looking into my issue.
I can what you suggested by factory resetting, but I am keeping that as my last option for now, for two reasons. First, one of the devices, belongs to a friend of mine, who already use a different account than mine. Also, in nexus 7, I have a separate account for him. I am thinking of resetting/changing my router, internet works fine though and I paid a hell lot of money for it. Second, I don't want to loose all data. If I was to do this, I will probably root my phone along with it too, save some time. As the problem started for all the devices at the same time, I strongly sense its a wifi issue. Also, when I change some of the settings in router, things start working fine for half and hour or so.

Your connection is not private

My GS6 grew into this error about 6 months ago so I stopped using the phone. It is showing up in all apps, on WiFi and cell service, not just chrome from the screenshots. Ie a lot of apps have problems because they always thing that I have an unsecured connection. If I refresh, I can usually get in to work, but it takes time on each website I visit. I am confident it's the phone, but have no idea beyond that.
Since the error has started, I have hard reset, re-rooted and re-flashed and gone back to stock again. Nothing seems to fix it. I've even followed a few websites which seem to try and fix this.
Has anyone else experienced this? Any idea for a fix? I'm willing to re-root and flash, but that might have been what got me into this mess in the first place. I am really out of ideas and am about to sell for parts because it's been so frustrating to deal with.
Thanks in advance!

There are several possible solutions, all listed here: https://www.thesslstore.com/blog/fix-ssl-connection-errors-android-phones/
The easiest is to check that the date/time is correct on your phone. If that is out of sync, it can cause these problems.
One other possible cause is to check the accounts on your phone. Maybe an old work account of something that is no longer active? Even if you only have one account on your phone, delete it and then add it back.

Phone hacked

I need help identifying what app or setting got me into this mess.
I think the hacker has adb access.
He shuts down apps.. etc
He is messing with the notifications.. i get ony a few. Sometimes they come in late.
I have made reset from samsung setting and the boot menu, AND I INSTALLED A NEW ROM (the one for my phone) WITH ODIN. Still the issue resurfaces.
I think my roomate installed smthg in it. He is on the house wifi and he is got a degree in networking (i think thats what it's called, we study in french in my country)
Please i need help.

If someone needs any further details, please ask.

Avoid the wifi network you suspect your hacker friend is on, reinstall the rom downloaded on another network and stay on 4G and see if it still happens? Also suspect your PC to be hacked...

Thx for replying,
I did format my pc but i have connected it to house wifi.. didn't notice anything out of order though.
I found out about the "Revoke USB debugging authorisations" option in Developer Options. I think it is working.

Today, since i made a new instagram account, i added a mutual friend. Turns out it was an old and lost account, and thats when i got the error from the video.
Fortunately, i fixed it by un.following the account and clearing the app storage.
I need to know what access does he have?

Can't upload the video, here's some shots.

Look no further than yourself for the cause of this... one way or another.
RX: Factory reset, change Google account password.
Stop with the social media crap and go mingle with real people.

This not about social media, it's about getting my phone back.
With my old account, I couldn't even talk to my messenger friend. Today, thats like having your phone number unreachable all the time, frustrating.
Please if you don't want to help don't, but no need for quick unhelpful replies.

How was it compromised?
Understand if it was compromised it's more than likely because you left yourself vulnerable to attack.
A compromised OS needs to be cleaned or wiped... I gave you the solution(s).
No need to say thanks but don't give me lip about your screw ups.

Thank you.
I tried factory reset more than 10 times, different ways. No luck.
I think he is got access to one of my friends account but i don't know how he is using this connection with me ( message, notification.. i don't know)
@blackhawk what you said is true, and i didn't mean no offense.

Reflash the firmware especially if it is Oreo or below.
If it's not embedded in the firmware, it's being added by you albeit inadvertently.
Your Achilles heel is social media... don't be so predictable. Break the link in the chain.
None of the social apps should be running on the device, they are malware. At least keep them in the cloud.
Email must always be kept in the cloud and any attachments downloaded from it scruntinized or preferably not downloaded at all. All downloads are suspect.
At this point your data base is suspect as well.
Insanity is doing the same thing over and over, expecting a different result.

Unless someone physically got their hands on it, there's no known way the Android 11 stock factory image can be compromised by a rootkit or virus. A factory reset is all that is needed.
The problem happened after the reset.

That is exactly what i suspect did happen. I often leave my phone home and my pattern is known for him.
How can i undo a modification of that level.
(I intend to go to a phone repair shop and install new soft with the "box". Is this recommended or is it a bad idea)

Never leave a phone physically unsecured as that's the only real security there is.
You need to have the firmware reflashed then be careful what you put back on it.
Change all your passwords and use secure passwords.

I ithink i this is the problem.( in the pic below)
There was an app called android device.. don't know if this is normal. So i deleted it and restarted and things are back to normal.

Sorry i can't upload the image, the app closes automatically.

Scan it online with Virustotal.
