help please applications constantly "computing"

in manage applications all apps are stuck at "computing" and will of stop. It used to be fixed by restoring my phone to an earlier date but now it just doesn't work.
Apps2sd, disk usage, and unmounting the SD card do not work. Force closing.
In the market I cannot install or uninstall apps.
And when I restart ill lose access to the apps on my SD card. But I can access all info using a task manager or taking the card out and accessing it from my pc.
Is my internal memory failing?
I don't know what else to do Ive tried so much.
Restore backup factory reset SD card format etc.
Froyo 2.2 stock rooted.
Any ideas?,I'm desperate.
Thank you.

Wipe completely and try a different ROM like CM6. If you're still getting the same problem, then it's a hardware issue and you're hosed. Run the RUU at that point, and take it in to get a replacement, and hope for the best.

How long do you give it? If you have a lot of apps, it might just take a lot longer than your are expecting, since it has to load the data for everything. I'd recommend just giving it a little more time (unless you already do). Before Froyo, even with just a handful of apps it seriously took around 3 minutes to load that kind of information.

I've given it up to 45 minutes at times, several times after a recovery it would all fully finish computing, then after i install an app or something to that effect it seems it 'breaks' again.
I tried other ROMs and after the first few apps i begin to reinstall it does it again. So i took a break, recovered it and went to bed. This morning it seems to be doing fine and now i'm reading there were market issues with other people last night, could this be connected? Is the market that integrated into the phone that it could cause issues like this?
i'm emailing HTC for some advice because i can't find a specific google/android technical support email address about the issue.

ii'm in the same boat.all my apps are stuck on computing. i cant even unistall, or move apps. the only positive is that i can still run all my apps. but i cant install anything new as it stays stuck on installing and never installs the app. this seems like a problem with froyo.

Mine does this ever since I installed modInstallLocation, and moved a ton of stuff over to the SD card. If I ever have to reboot for some reason, or if I have to use the phone as a USB device, most of the time the apps never recover. Sometimes (rarely) a reboot fixes it, but most of the time I have to pull the battery, pull the card, reboot several times before it will finally get all my apps back. It seems completely random. I can't uninstall or install anything either until everything is back to normal. It happened again last night, and I still haven't gotten it to recover. I let the thing "compute" all night (7 hours) with no luck.
btw, this is my second sd card, so I don't think its bad.
UPDATE: I got them all back! I wiped the Dalvik cache from within Clockwork Mod, and about 4-5 minutes after I rebooted, there they were!!!

[Q] Cannot uninstall any app or download/intsall from Market!

Hi
While I was updating so many apps at the same time on the market the last two apps stuck at "installing" i tried stopping them but there was no option to do so.. tried to install another app but the install button only turned grey. So I waited till the two app that were stuck disappeared.
When I looked for those two apps they were not in my device and the "install" button shows on their market page (instead of "uninstall" like other installed apps) as they are not actually installed!
The strange thing is that I noticed few apps missing (like angry birds) even though they were not with the apps I recently updated.
Another strange thing is that I cannot uninstall any app it gets stuck at the uninstalling screen (uninstalling from Settings>>Applications)
Tried rebooting, taking the battery off, taking the SD card off, clearing the cache from the recovery menu... but none of those worked!
Any help please?
EDIT: You might want to know that my phone is rooted. Do you guys thing the problem is related to the SD card?
The disk drive does not show in my computer when I connect the usb cable! (I choose Disk Drive not Charge Only on my phone)

I'm about to wipe the memory.. Does any of you have an idea how to solve this? I really don't want to delete everything!

I had to reset to factory settings when I had the same problem.

[Q] please help, applications on sd stuck on computing

Hi guys writing on this forum is now my last resort in the hopes may be someone has an idea what the hell is actually going on, my desire hd has been causing problems where when i update any of my apps they get stuck on installing, then i try to wipe the market data and cache but the whole system gets stuck on computing so i cant do anything, when i reboot the phone, the apps go away, all the sd apps dont appear, and the system still says computing for all the apps.....ive tried everything, i noticed when all this was going the android secure folder had some.-2 extensions although they werent duplicates so i moved all apps to internal storage, deleted the android secure folder and moved them all back, so they all had -1 extensions, phone worked fine for about 2 months until yesterday, was updating an app on 3g and it got stuck in the installing phase, computing came back, rebooted phone, no help, shutdown phone and back on again and all the apps were then read, took time to clear the mqrket data and cache, went to root explorer since i had stored it on phone storage, went to mnt, .asec and all the apps had the -1 extension, so now i dont know what to do....
Its a nightmare, cant update and everytime the apps do come back after repeated switching on and off of the phone, everytime i try to update an app it gets stuck on installing and computing comes back.....its wierd cuz ive changed the sd card, moved all apps from phone atorage to sd but the problems still there....right now i cant asses the sd apps, ill try rebooting and see of they come back again....ive backed manually all the android secure folder apps on my computer, ive noticed something wierd, when i move batch of 10 apps from computer to phone they are read fine and come up on the phone, i keep doing this in steps, manually mounting and then unmounting the sd card till all my apps qre transfered to the android secure folder and all are read just fine by the phone, but as soon as i do a reboot they all dissapear again, ive also noticed that when apps are working perfect they are located in the mnt, .asec directory when i view em theough root explorer, but when i the apps are not being read like right now they are located in the mnt, staging, .asec directory
Im sorry guys for the lengthy explanation but wanted to give as much information as possible, i guess what im saying is when i do manage to get my sd apps working by repeated rebooting of phone, everytime i try to update an app it gets stuck on installing and computing comes back so the whole process of reboot starts all over again, as that is the only way i can get the sd apps back....
Any help would be appreciated, thanks for the patience in reading all this, oh when the phone did work fine during the last 2 months, the only way i kept it going was because everytime i updated an app the ext-2 appeared on it, so i had to move it to phone and then back to sd card, i dont know if the -2 ext appearing is normal everytime u update an app but since i had exams going on i had to keep the phone working so i never took a chance of updating an app that was already on the -2 ext, but now i guess none of the apps are and the problems back for some reason...
Please ask questiona if this is gettin a whole lot confusing for some

any ideas
Guessing no one knows what i might be talking about then, any ideas would be helpful guys...

OK the -2 just means there was already an app there when it updated. If you uninstall the app and reinstall it then it will be a -1 app again. From your first post it looks like you have alot of apps on your SD card? What calss is your SD card? Have you tried starting from scratch and reunstalling the apps from the market one by one to see it one app is causing the issue? From the statement about computing I would try a greasy start all together. Full wipe and reinstall the rom. Then your apps one by one. Will it be long? Yeah but its then only way to slim it down and find the issue.

thanks
Thabks zelendel, that really helped, strange that its happening, only some of the apps are giving e this problem, i just unistalled all the -2 and have reinstalled them, ill keep u updated if the problem goes away, im sure its cuz of the -2 s the app stalls and multiple reboots are needed to get them working again...whereas factory reset goes, oh boy thats gona be a long one, lets see how this one goes, ill keep u updated, and thanks again for all the help...

[Q] Few questions about installing supernova.

I followed the instructions to install supernova up to the point where you have to go in recovery and run Data2sdInstaller.zip. Pressing volume down + power button all of a sudden doesn’t work and just starts the phone normally. What happened and what do I do?
Also when I go to the SD & Phone Settings it says available internal storage only 34.7MB even though the total space of the sd card has been decreased by 1gb (I made the ext4 partition 1gb). Is this related to the previous problem?
Finally I am noticing that even though I click power off, the phone stars instantly once I press the power button again as if it was hibernating but NOT actually being turned off. Is this normal? Is there a way to change this so the phone actually shuts down?
Thanks

Uncheck fastboot. It's found under one of the options on settings. Just look for it. That will probably solve both issues you are having with having trouble accessing recovery and not shutting down completely.
About the space issue or something you are talking about, you have to flash that data2installer zip to make use of the partition you created.

Thank you very much. It finally worked 1000MB for apps now but a little slow. I guess I need a faster sd card than the one that came with the phone.
Another question. I used titanium to backup my apps, but now the market crashes everytime I need to run it.
Code:
The application Market (process com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly
I googled it and found out people are saying you should change the language to English (US) which I have but it still crashes. What do I do?

I usually use Titanium to only restore my downloaded apps and never system apps. If I really have to restore system app, I usually restore just the data part. I never had issues with the Market that came with the rom although I believe it's still the old one?

Uninstalling Link2SD from rooted Tab S

Hi there,
I recently had an issue with my rooted Tab S where the tablet randomly restarted (Okay it might have been because it was in my bag) and when I went to go use it, it was stuck on the Samsung logo (as many people report sometimes) . I found out the "key press" combination that resets the device (volume up + volume down + power button. Hold for maybe 10 sec). This seemed to work for me and I got the tablet rebooted back to its "normal" self
I installed Link2SD several months ago and have had several issues with the app. I an tired of it and would like to remove it.
(I'm not going to bother with killing the 2nd partition on the SD card - problems with link2sd made me reformat the SD card, and make the 2nd partition small enough to not be worried about )
However....
I read around that even if Link2Sd is removed, the mount scripts can still hang around. This is exactly what I am trying to avoid, as I suspect that a few of the times the tablet hung on the Samsung logo on boot are related to Link2Sd.
Is there a way to make sure that the link2sd mount scripts are gone? Or if I just uninstall the app though the Play store, it should be fine?

** UPDATE!! **
I noticed that removing Link2SD fixed one other issue I'd talked about in an earlier post
(but I'll restate that issue below here)
The previous issue I was having, was that in Google Play, the option for "uninstall" an app only showed up after clicking through a few apps, but I could eventually get to it. Uninstalling Link2SD seemed to fix this issue after a few days. Maybe the mounting of the 2nd partition in some way interferes with this?
Also restarted manually several times to make sure all is OK and so far no hangs at Samsung splash screen since that day a week ago...
So I'm guessing if there are any mount scripts, removing Link2SD may have removed them AND solved this Google Play problem (maybe...)
Will continue to monitor this...
