i updated OTA normally.a week ago..everything was fine..but since last night , when i open gmail or whatsapp for example it seems like somehow the app permissions for contacts for those apps were reset and i had to re allow contacts access again.
the only thing i changed/tested in settings prior to that error happening, was the "Force activites to be resziable" setting in Developer Options and the "Magnification Gesture" in Assessibility settings. that wouldn't affect the apps permissions would it?

Okay I found my answer at least. Was your SD Card encrypted? my issue disappeared after i formatted my SD card and replaced it with backup files prior my update to Nougat and now it doesn't reset my app permission.
So if I was you, I'd try copying all your files out of your SD card, and format it via the phone, restart and see what happens. Hopefully you have backup of your content on your SD card, otherwise you'll need to nit pick through to figure out what was encrypted and what was not..

my SD card was not encrypted. IIRC I had to to a full factory reset then it was ok.
I've been having the same issue, I fixed mine by removing my SD card, copied the contents to my pc, formatted the card on the pc, copied the files back to the SD card, factory reset the phone, reinstalled all my apps, put the SD card back in and everything is fine now, nothing lost after a couple of reboots.
I have since installed Magisk and rebooted a couple of times and it's still working as it should be

I've hit this issue too and my phone is absolutely stock. No encryption. It seems to be an android thing that just happens at random.
Im thinking that it may have something to do with htc boost+. Do you have it installed and running?..

I've never seen it before, even reflashing a stock RUU didn't fix it, hence me going the sd card format route, I had uninstalled boost+ before and It didn't make any difference. Interestingly my app data for some apps was there after a fresh install because they were on the sd card, I always have that set to removable storage.
I'm having the issue now. I tried the above mentioned about formatting SD card and it worked, now permission don't reset but now when I try to transfer my backup files back the computer says the SD card is write protected... (-_-)... so the SD card is the issue?
Update #1
Solved: After billion tries to format the SD the computer finally formatted it and just restored all files back. Did a reboot and permissions where there, let's see the next couple of days... thank you all
Update #2
Tried a second reboot and the issue came back... gonna have to try the full factory reset and see... ???
This resolved for me when disabling system permissions for anything that did not need them
System > Apps > Configure Apps > Special Access > Modify System Settings 'no' to everything that doesn't need special access

Hey Everyone,
Last night all my programs that Installed on my storage cards just stopped working. I had this happen to me before but all I had to do is restart the phone or just pull the microsd out and put it back in. But this time isn't the case. The message I am getting is " The file "what ever program i am opening" cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persist, try reinstalling or restoring this file." I have tried to reinstall the programs but it just says unsuccessful. Or when I install a program it would open until I soft rest and the program wont work again. I looked in my storage cards program files and there aren't any files in the folder.
Anyone have any ideas?

Have you tried saving everything from your SD card and then reformatting the card and reinstall the programs?

Is there an "application data" folder at the root of your storage card? Anything in there now? It has identical function to the one on your phone in the /Windows folder, just for apps installed on the card. If that's empty too, you can try backing up the card and reformatting, but it's sounding like your SD card is corrupt. This can happen if you accidentally unplug the USB cable from the phone when it's in the middle of a write cycle with the card.

Hmmm, I thought google maps was preloaded on my (tmo US) stock 6.1 rom, but since I see it in my "remove programs" list, I guess I must have installed it when I first got the phone back in Nov.
Yeah, it's sounding like a hard reset is in your immediate future, let us know if that clears it up for you

oh its been working. google had nothing to do with it. i guess it was when i switched batteries and charged it. i didnt even plug it into my computer at all so i guess when i pulled the batter it corrupted the microsd some how
hey, op. It could be that the storage card folder somehow got renamed. That would cause all those links to be invalid. Check to see if the applications run if you click on the executables stored on the sd card.
This happens to me, but it's because the card is being used. So if this happens to you it probably only happens when you have it plugged in for Sync or File transfer. So just soft reset it any time you're done conecting it to the CPU
Hi there,
For the past couple of days, I've been getting "installation unsuccessful" error messages whenever I download anything from the Market. The apps are downloaded, and Android tries to install them but fails every time. I've gotten successful installations on one or two occasions, though, seemingly at random.
I have 22MB of internal storage left, and I used to be able to install apps with only 10MB, so that's not the cause. And I have around 2GB on my SD card. Funny thing is, I can't even install some .APKs of beta apps that I know should work, because I've installed them before. I thought the issue was solely related to the Market, but the Market isn't involved when installing apps from "unknown sources", or is it?
Does anyone have any suggestions besides doing a hardreset? Anyone experiencing similar issues?
Cheers
I had the same issue with my Desire. After i searched on the internet, i found a lot irellevant sollutions to this issue.
What i did? I did a backup of my SD card, format SD, restore settings to default and that it.
It was a hard decision but i couldn't find any other solution. After that, everything goes normaly, even today!
Thanks for the reply! I still hope I don't have to do a hardreset, but if nothing else works, I guess I have to go ahead and wipe that thing.
Have you tried the fix_permissions script? You can run this from the Amon Ra recovery or go to the Market and download ROM Manager. It's under the Utilities section of ROM Manager
I guess that's only for rooted devices?
OK, I give up. If no one has a solution to this, I'll just hardreset the darn thing
OK, I give up. If no one has a solution to this, I'll just hardreset the darn thing.
Is there a backup tool that can restore all your apps in a way that the Market will recognize them under "Downloads"? I restored apps from a backup once, but that was pretty pointless since I no longer could enjoy updates through the Market without having to re-download every single app.
Titanium Backup has a "Market Doctor" to fix your Market links, but you need to be rooted.
If you aren't, I'd suggest syncing with AppBrain, which at least means you won't need to search for all your apps on the Market again.
Regards,
Dave

Have you tried connecting your phone to pc in disk drive mode and doing a scandisk of SD card.
I had the same problem (card was mounted as read-only)
After I done scandisk it found and fixed the problem.

No, I had not tried that since the SD card appeared to be working. I used to get quite a few "SD card damaged" messages until I let Android format the card. I tried Scandisk now but it didn't take care of the Market issue unfortunately. Thanks anyway
But it does indeed seem like the SD card somehow is to blame. Those few apps that I actually have been able to install have been installed to the internal storage.
I think this problem started when I for some reason decided to clear the Market's cache and data. Thing is, I have set Android to install apps to the SD card by default (adb shell pm setInstallLocation 2) and that might have something to do with it as well, although it worked fine for three weeks.
I got this when I installed the unofficial OTA update for 2.2. Only fix was to try another custom rom.
Have you tried to go into manage applications and then clear all data for the market app ? This has solved some similar problems for me in the past.
Yes, I cleared the Market's cache and data, and I actually did that before the issue started as well. I just hope a hardreset will fix it all, going to erase everything later today
For the record, I had to not only perform a hardreset, but delete the .android_secure folder on my memory card where apps are stored to get the Market working again. I could probably just have deleted the .androd_secure folder, but then I would have lost all apps installed to the SD anyway
Works like a charm now.

Hello Everyone!
I just rooted using UnRevoked 3.0. I was installing apps on to sd card and suddenly (while installing free spades from Market) the phone just sat there at "Installing spades" and never completed. Even worse now NOTHING installs. Not even the OTA Sprint voice mail upgrade app. What I did notice is that I can't format the SD card, the option button is grayed out. When I try to unmount the card I get this error:
"Sorry! Activity SD & phone storage (in Application Settings) is not responding."
I have the option to FC or wait and if I try and wait, the message just loops. Is there ANYTHING ANYONE can tell me about this. Please, please help!!!!
Try restarting the phone and see if that helps.
restarting doesn't work, re-running Unrevoked doesn't work. I don't know what else to do. Am I just app-less now?
It happens. Sometimes it takes a few hours to go back to normal, at least in my experience. Is it working for you yet?

I encountered a problem similar to this with my Evo. Basically the card stopped working and said I need to format it, but then it wouldn't let me actually format it. I contacted HTC and apparently they had a "bad batch" of the cards and they'll replace it for free, when they have some in stock. My advice would be to contact HTC or Sprint.
Not working yet. But one thing I forgot about is that after I rooted it I also installed "Choose install" from the Market and set the default to the storage card. I wonder if I should try and unroot my phone. I'm stuck there to because if I understand things right I would have to access my sd card to load a new zip file on it in order to unroot. My pc will no longer let me browse my device.

You will need access to an SD card to unroot. My advice would be to either buy another one or just borrow a friend's or something. Why do you want to unroot anyways?

I don't really want to, I just thought I would have to do that to try and go back to "stock" or if I'm using the word right, back to the way it was when I got it. I thought it might be my last resort to fixing it. I would still re-root again so I can try and figure out how to get rid of all of sprints bloatware.
Just an update - I bought me a new sd card from buy.com, a 16 gb for about $30. It fixed the problem for a little bit. I started installing my apps, got a good amount of them on there and it happened again! I'm starting to wonder if you just can't install very many apps for this phone or by some odd coincidence I got a 2nd bad storage card????. Weird. I might start a new thread for this but thanks for all you who participated. You rock!
when it's stuck on install can you go to your manage applications option in settings and see if they're all stuck on 'computing' too?
Because this sounds all too familiar.

Has any one got a solution to why the android market will let you download some apps but not others. This problem only happens with certain apps.
Contacted one of the app developers, and he thinks there may be a problem with my data partition.
I'm on stock rom, latest froyo update, and have not rooted. thanks, in advance, for your help.

+1 for this but if not can you list some example apps so we can see if it's just you (B. East) or not?
The apps i seem to have a problem with are, Cordy the game, storage analyzer, and gun brothers game. I some times have problems with updating from the market. I have to un-install some apps then download them again to update. this happens when the app has been moved to the sd card, but not with all the apps that I have moved to the sd card

Not all apps like being on the SD Card. Do all your apps specifically say they have been updated to allow them to be moved to sd card?
You may have to move them to phone if they continue to cause issues (and to be honest, with a 1GB internal memory, putting apps onto a slow sd card really isn't worth doing.

Did you try this?
If all of the above fails to work you will probably have to factory reset the phone.
I tend to download using wifi, going to try downloading over 3g and see if that makes any difference, if not, will do a factory reset. thanks for the help though.
Before you do that you still haven't said if you cleared the market cache. Did you?
yes, i done that, tried to download again and got a message, "could not install on USB storage or sd card". First time I have seen that message.
Is this whilst trying to update an app or download a new one?
If to update then move the app to the phone first.
this is trying to download a new app.
Had a quick Google and found something to try.
mount the phone so you can access the sdcard.
Set to show hidden files
Go to folder .android_secure
Delete a file in there smdl2tmp1.asec
Then try again.
thanks, I will give it a go. can I use a file explorer to do this, because am not sure how you mount the phone, I am quite new to android, use to use winmo mobiles
you can yes, my favourites are Astro, Linda and ES.
I had a look in android_secure, made sure all hidden files would be visible, and could not find any files at all. checked to make sure that the hidden file visible setting in the file explorer was switched to the correct setting, and could not see any files at all.
Have I lost some files? if i have i have no idea how. do I need to do a factory reset?

Damn. When I found that possible solution I noticed that as many people said they did have it as said they didn't. I was hoping you would be lucky.
In this case the same file (apparently this is a known bug and has been marked for next version fix) is being stored in the system directory of the phone and without root you can't get access to it.
I'm afraid the only way to clear it (without root) is a factory reset, sorry.
thanks for your help, I will factory reset and see what happens.
When I go into the market and go to the 'My Apps' section, nothing shows up. Not one app. This started happening a couple of days ago. I tried flashing the new market from the front page, but that didn't help either. Ti Backup's market doctor didn't work either.
Any ideas??

Do you have multiple google accounts setup on your phone? If so, make sure that the market is set to the correct account. I had that happen before where for some reason the market kept switching to my other google account that I had setup. Goto: menu>accounts and check in the market.
I do have multiple accounts, and it is setup for the correct one. Still nothing. This has been going on since about 8pm CDT yesterday.
Anybody??
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
When I switch to a different account, it only shows rom manager and super user. My main account that should have all the apps shows nothing. Not one app.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Just to specify, you opened those accounts and checked? Because my apps switch between accounts for some reason.
Try wiping data for the Market, then download an app. After the app has installed, do you see it in "my apps"? Or still nothing?
Have you tried logging into the web Market and checking your apps there? I have multiple phones listed when I try to install an app from the website, even though I only have one - maybe there's something hinky there. Maybe pushing an app to your phone from the Market website will trigger something.
You can also try reflashing your rom.
Last idea that I have is to contact Google/Market support. I'm all out of ideas other than those. Hopefully they'll just show back up on their own.
Edit: Didn't see your last post, disregard the first paragraph.
You can also try linking tot he market, using titanium backup, though only available in the pro version.
I'm pretty much out of ideas. I tried going back to an older version of the market, and get the same thing. NOTHING showing for my apps. However, when i search the market for an app that I have installed, it shows as installed. No idea what's going on.

Have you tried installing an app? I've had the same problem, usually after the Market updates, and installing an app would bring all of the apps back to the list.
I know you said you tried the Market on the front page, but I'm not sure which one that is. Have you tried 3.3.1?

Yep. Installing an app from the market on the phone or web has no affect. The version I tried is 3.3.11 from the xda main page. This started happening before installing 3.3.11 though, and continues to happen on the new version.
Fixed it!

I'm no expert but I would copy everything from your sd card to your computer, reformat the sd card and copy everything back.

I think that's my next step.
Have you tried wiping cache and dalvik cache? I know it's a dumb suggestion, but it's a lot quicker than formatting your SD card.
Sometimes simple stuff works. I've tried a million things to fix certain problems & it's always been the simple stuff that fixes it - wiping caches, fixing permissions, reflashing, or changing back to the default theme.

Yep, tried wiping cache and dalvik a few times.
If I unmount the SD card, the apps show up. If I have the card mounted, they don't. Seems like a SD Card problem to me

Tried formatting the card, no dice. Still only shows my apps when the card is un-mounted.
I'm going to try a different card to try to figure out if the problem is with the card itself or something else.
Anybody have suggestions for a new 16GB Card? I think mine's class 2 (might be 4, not sure), but the speed is TERRIBLE. I'm seeing average of 700 KB/s transferring from my PC to the phone.
