Issues when opening Sheets or Docs on 8.1 - Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers

Since doing a clean install of 8.1 from the factory images, I've had a few hiccups with syncing, most notably Contacts. Tonight I noticed when I opened my Docs and Sheets app that I was getting a today notification that "Error retrieving additional items."
After resorting to uninstalling the apps now I can't see my files (they're still there when I check on my desktop) and the apps think I'm offline.
I can't get either app to correctly load. Anybody else experiencing this?

I just loaded the final 8.1 release, replacing the DP2 version and I have the same problem. Drive seems fine though until I try opening a Doc or Sheet then both fail like they are offline. I did not do a clean install but instead flashed the image without the wipe option in the flashall script, so that's a difference here. It's late so I won't investigate further tonight but if I find anything further I'll gladly share.

BTW, looks like Google updated both apps within last few hours. After updated apps, I no longer have this issue.

[Q] Market - not enough space error; can't find fix

I know the answer to this is in the forums somewhere, but it won't let me search, keeps giving me an error, and I'm not finding any working solutions with google.
I keep getting the "can't install app, not enough space" error in the market.
I tried clearing market data/cache; clearing google services framework data; and un-mounting SD cards. I saw that there was an app that fixes the problem, and found it very ironic!
Error started about a week or so ago, was hoping it would go away with an updated nightly.
Currently running
CM7 - 107
Chads beta - 11
Mkt vers. - 2.3.6
Thanks for your help!
Not sure if this will help- but this happened to me 2 days ago. I was trying to install a WiFi tether program, and it wouldn't install and gave me that error.
Apparently the problem was that the new program conflicted with a previous WiFi tether program I already had installed. Instead of saying 'bad permissions' or 'file writing error' it said there wasn't enough space.
So there's a possibility that it's a problem with permissions OR it's just trying to install a file to a location that is already in use.
I got it to work by simply uninstalling the other WiFi tether program. Of course if *all* app's won't install for you, I really wouldn't know the first place to look.
I don't have an easy fix, but good luck.
Thanks for the suggestion. I actually had a little success a few minutes ago installing the app over the air using my laptop. Not a fix, but a decent work-around I guess

how much user space do you have left of the 740 meg
One way around this problem is to initiate the install from web version of the market. Even if you are just updating an app you already downloaded find it on the market website and click install. For whatever reason, it won't give you the error.

I've read somewhere that there's a partition of space (150meg) for data files, and if it's full then it'll give that error for new installs.
They really need to get more specific errors because it seems like this 1 error can apply for several very different reasons.
I got an easy fix for this !!!!!!!
Simply go to the market, search cache fixer. !! That work! The market fixer dont work at my mobile, but Cache fixer did ! Så now i can download all sizes of games and apps

[Q] Re-enabling RSS Apps

I backed up all my apps in Titanium and CWM before migrating from EG22 to EH06. The new version works fine after restoring apps and data using Titanium. The problem is that now both of my RSS readers (D7 Reader and gReader) get stuck trying to sign into my Google Reader account. The odd part is that the widgets seem to update the unread count, but I can't actually read them because the apps themselves won't move past the sign-in loops. I've tried deleting the data for the apps, and I've event tried uninstalling and reinstalling the apps, but the issue still persists. Internet browser applications work perfectly, so I know that it's not my internet connection. My only conclusion is that something else in the phone software (something that controls app access to the internet or to Google accounts) has the problem. As such, I should be able to go through Titanium and freeze/wipe anything that could cause the problem and proceed from there. However, I don't know where to start isolating the culprit.
Any ideas?

After you completely uninstall both apps go into /data/data and see if there are any leftover files for the apps if so delete them. And then reboot and reinstall and let me know what happens. I had it happen to me sometimes filesystem changes such as that retain their problematic nature until rebooted a few times.

Same sign-in loops as of early this morning. I'll try Odin'ing back to stock EH06, and trying again from there.
I've gone all the way back to Odin the stock EH06. I then flashed maddoggin's CleanBlue mod, and used Titanium to only restore any apps that weren't already loaded onto the phone. This should have stopped any system files from being overwritten. From there, I tried to open the D7 Reader. Same sign-in loop. I uninstalled the program, looked for any lingering data files (there were none), restarted the phone, then reinstalled the app. Still the same sign-in loop.
Am I missing something here? I've tried everything I can think of to isolate the problem, but there has to be something lingering that I'm missing.
Any other thoughts?
EDIT: Google Reader (the source) logs in fine, as does Pulse (3rd party reader). That means that it HAS to be something deep in Data concerning D7 and gReader that I'm unaware of.

android.process.media has stopped

After switching from 7.1.2 beta to 7.1.1 stable I keep getting 'android.process.media has stopped' error whenever i try to use any media related apps or when i try to share images in Whatsapp and it crashes that app too. I've had tried everything from clearing data of Media storage, download manager, google play services, google framework, google play store to Factory reset, flashing factory images, applying rescue OTA. None of them worked and I still keep getting those errors.
Does this means that there's something wrong with the Flash memory. I am just tired of getting this phone repaired again and again. I already had two repairs in last 5 months. One time they replaced the Display because of dead pixels and last month (January 2017) they replaced the motherboard. Now, I've switched to another phone as this phone has became so unreliable to use anymore.
Update 1: I just used my another device(Oneplus One) which is on LineageOS and it is showing the same behaviour. android.process.media force closes with apps like Xender (when connecting to PC), WhatsApp (when scrolling through images u want to send).
Update 2: It seems there was some corrupted Image file which was causing that error. Now, everything is fine.
PS: Mods can now close this thread. Thanks!

Persistent Adware despite TWRP wipe of all data

I got a nasty bit of adware from the internet--clicked a banner by mistake. Now I get popups telling me my SIM card is 58% infected, etc, and it wants to redirect me to download some app to remove it, etc. I never downloaded their app, but the persistent popups need to go.
I've tried running ~5 anti-virus/anti adware apps, none of which can even identify a suspicious program. I've done factory resets, which seem to fix the issue for 2 weeks, but then the popups recur. I figured it was either somewhere deep in my phone that didn't get erased with a factory reset, or it was being synced to my phone from my linked google account (I use project FI, and have to have a google account linked to the phone to have service).
So most recently, I installed TWRP, and wiped everything (cache, dalvik, data, system...completely removed the OS). While the phone was in that state, I used my laptop and cleared all my google sync data, removed all stored google data, and reset all settings to default. I then reinstalled stock Bullhead Oreo 8.1 over a USB. However, it again worked fine for 2 weeks before popups returned.
Is there some deep recess in my phone that I am not effectively deleting? Could it be syncing over my google account somehow (I don't have this problem on any other device with my google account on it)? Could it actually be my SIM card that infected?
I appreciate your help!
It's possible for a Sim card to get malware, but I haven't heard of anything specific. Are you restoring apps from Google? And if so, are there any sketchy apps you're restoring? Those are the only two areas I can think of where malware could be coming from. A complete os restore with the factory image should remove any malware. I'd get a new SIM card from your carrier, then restore the firmware. Use the flash-all batch file in the factory image.

Thanks for the reply. I don't restore apps as best as I can tell. When I reset the phone I select the option that says "start from scratch" or something like that, and at every choice during setup I choose to not import anything. I do have to link the phone to my google account for my Project Fi service, which does sync my contacts, so possibly something something gets transferred that way? Like I mentioned above, I've scrubbed my google data every way I could find.
I don't have any risky apps, just standard ones from the play store (outlook, pandora, etc). No risky online websurfing, just the one banner I clicked some months ago. I even rooted my phone not too long ago and used the ES File Explorer to try and find suspicious looking files, but didn't find anything. Phone is no longer rooted since flashing factory image recently.
My phone even had the bootlooper issue common to Nexus 5Xs, and I sent it to LG for free repair. They replaced some hardware (not exactly sure what), but still had the popup problem occur 2 weeks later. Bootlooping was fixed though.
I talked to Project Fi about a SIM card. They weren't keen on sending me a new one, but I'll try them again.

Backup file in drive, but phone states no file associated with Google Account

Aloha!
As per the title, I haven't encountered this before. OTA to Android 10 performed, no longer rooted. Back up performed from settings, definitely completed. Can see said backup file in google drive on both mobile and desktop however upon setting up the phone from a clean flash just now, it states no backup associated with my google account.
Things I've tried -
adb shell bmgr list sets - no restore sets found
Reverted to android 9 - no associated backups found
Updated from 9 to 10 via OTA (as had done originally) and tried to set up from backup - no associated backups found
Tried clean flashes of both Android 10 images, one ending 19 and one ending 20. Same situation.
I thought it could be something to do with android version etc, but have backed up this morning as my drive shows.
Just wondering what went wrong or if I'm now simply out of luck.
It's things like my text messages I'm upset at losing etc
Anybody able to shed some light on this? I've had a quick search around but came up short so apologies.
Thanks in advance
info added in main post
I'm having the opposite problem. I can get my phone to back up, but it doesn't show up in Google Drive. I did have to uninstall Magisk 19.3 for the backup feature to work at all. I spent an hour with Google support trying to remedy this, but it didn't work.
Backup used to show up in Drive, and restore just fine. I figure it was one of the monthly updates, I just don't know which one. I really wanted a backup before upgrading to Android 10.
Really odd. I had no issues backing up, and it's still sat in Google Drive now, but nada, apparently no backups associated.
Wish there was a button there in drive that said restore.
Tried on my partner's phone as well which has never been touched in terms of root or bootloader unlocked. Still claims no backups associated.
Completely at a loss. Haven't tried Google support honestly but didn't think they'd be able to assist
