Apps wont install

I've been having a really tough time downloading apps today. I switched back from another phone I was using. the apps hang after downloading but wont install. These are all apps I already have but need to update.
I've searched and searched and so far have tried the following:
1) cancel and restart
2) reboot phone
3) go to apps and clear the download manager
4) log into Google talk & sign out sign in etc
5) force close market
It's driving me crazy. It'll show it's downloading in the notification bar and then abruptly stop..then it'll show in market that it's installing but it's not really doing anything.
I'd really like some help with this please. I'm running stock rooted ji6.

Go to Settings->Applications->Manage applications
Filter by All, locate Market app in the list, click on it and Clear data

I had a similar issue, buy instead of "downloading" it said "installing". I installed the new market that just came out and everything is all set now.

i can't anything to download...it started this morning but worked fine last night. i was on eugenes ginger clone rom and the market just stopped downloading things...it says starting download, then the bar disappears, but the notification bar still says its downloading...then once its done in the status bar..........nothing. the app isn't installed and it doesnt say download complete...just........nothing.
anyone else? i even tried going back to nero beta 3. i've literally tried everything to get it to download. name it and i've tried it...

Did you try to odin it back to stock, then flash a new rom?

That's how mine was behaving. I went to apps and market and did "uninstall updates" and it lagged and force closed a couple times and it eventually worked. This phone always lags when installing an app. My Motorola defy never had issues with market.

i had the issue. I basically had to stop all apps from updating, and do them one by one and even then it was a pain. You may need to just try a few times. Everytime I hit update all, thats when I have the issue. I just do it the old school way one by one, and keep trying if it dont work. Lol

Odd, but I had this issue yesterday when trying another new rom.
What I did was immediately after accepting the permissions and being brought back to the My Apps/Download screen where it shows all the apps, was to IMMEDIATELY click right back on the app....
for some unknown reason this was the only way I was able to update about 5 apps yesterday... never had an issue before.
Clearing the market data is also a popular fix as previously mentioned.
If someone can try my method I would be curious to hear feedback... I was amazed this worked its so simple/odd.

[Q] Multiple roms in one Defy??

I have been wondering if we could install multiple ROMs in our phones at once and switch between them as we would wish. Thereby skipping the pain of making contacts and app backups.
After a bit of Googling, i came across an app named "Boot Manager",which allows you to install 5 ROMs at once, but alas, it doesn't support our defy...
It would be great if i could have MIUI in my phone besides CM7,
Afaik, Technically it IS possible...
The ROMs would be installed in our SD Card and the phone will then be able to boot images of the desired rom, we wish to switch to.
If anyone has any information, then please share.
This is a video of the app running in HTC Sensation. Do check it out.

Guys, we have to make this Awesome thing run in our defy...!! Anyhow..!!

Good question dude.
I've been wondering if I can have cyanogenmod installed and if I can switch back to stock incase I'm not satisfied with CMod.

Some good news,
The boot manager app can be used in Defy as well by configuring it manually using the adb shell.
Gonna try it in a day or two.

Exciting...that will certainly be great as changing ROM comes with the added hassel of redoing necessary housekeeping all over again...will keep watching!

Alright friends, so it actually is possible for us to use the boot manager app.
All we got to do is to manually configure the settings.
Here is what we need to configure:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I have read in the help manual that the settings can be configured using adb.
But i dont have a pc with me these days.
So either if someone who knows how to use adb can find out the sizes of the folder and share here, or we will have to find a way to find out the size of the root folders using terminal emulator.
Further questions are welcomed.

we should type the total size of data system and cache or the used space

Someone test this ?
It's quite interesting, but what about applications, data etc, i think so one rom should be primary (in phone memory)

we should type the total size of data system and cache or the used space

The Total size that is allocated to these folders, not the used space.

maine boot manager ka har version try karke dekha...nahi ho raha hai....have u tried it???..if yes den hw did u do it ???

You say that you have tried every version... Wud you please elaborate how you did that??
The settings need to be configured for which the size of the folders has to be known, and that can be done via adb.

device name:jordan
sd card block:/dev/block/mmcblk0p1
system size:325.1
data size:1200
cache:193.7
i tried these setings on latest cm7 and latest miui........

How did you find the following values?? Using adb?
Next when i configured my boot manager with the settings provided by you and tried to install a ROM into the SD card it first asked me to choose b/w Ext2 or Ext4.
Then on selecting any of the above an error popped up saying "Error making img" - Error making img to hold filesystem.Please try again.

Yes using adb....u try out for your phone maybe our settings are different

Help me clean my phone

I am super anal about not having crap I dont need so I want to go in and all I want to save is my pics and my apps, I want to get rid of anything I dont need without deleting pertinent files. Can anyone help? If this has been posted please direct me to that post i cant seem to find anything. Thanks alot!!!

+1, I have the same question.
I know there is an option for formatting the SD card in settings. But I wonder if there are additional steps to complete this without harm. It would be nice if anyone can provide step-by-step instruction of how to do this.

So, you want to delete useless folders on your SD card? Most of them are used by Android, if you delete them, they'll come right back.

i noticed that a lot of the folders are for apps I no longer have so I went ahead and deleted those. I also had 6 backups for ROMS so i deleted 4 of them. After that I moved pics to my laptop and now I am only using 2 GB, removed tons of space!!

I covered this in one of my guides....
what I would do:
backup ANY/ALL things to my PC.
go to settings and unmount/format both internal and external sd cards
ODIN to JFD
move my update b and rom of choice to root, flash....
then move any important files back afterwards.
Phone always felt a lot smoother getting rid of the gunk from day to day stuff.

Thanks, I'll do that too!

Yes, but you are still relying on the user KNOWING what is important and what isn't.. If all they have that matters to them is videos, pictures, and music, they can just copy those, follow your instructions, and copy back anything that they deleted they may have needed..
In my opinion, if SPACE is what you want, this app is by far the best. DiskUsage shows you a visual representation of how your space is taken up. This pic may show it better:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
From there, you either just click or long press on a folder or file you don't want, delete it, and move on. I love it so much because it is like a program I use on my mac called disk inventory X, which is what I used to scan my phones SD until I found that app. I wish there was a windows equivalent.
If you are anal and just sick of having a ton of folders you don't need that aren't really taking up space, I haven't found a better solution than figuring out what the files in that folder are for, or doing what s15274n recommended and starting fresh..
Then again, when a rom TRULY gets stable for me, wiping and reflashing will usually get me different results(suddenly worse battery life, or something doesn't work, etc), and I'll have to restore a nandroid. I typically only wipe and reflash if I have a problem with the way it runs.

This is the way I do it:
1. copy all personal files (music, pictures, etc.) to computer.
2. Flash JFD.
3. Format SD card.
4. return all personal files.
5. redownload apps.
You can also backup all your apps and copy the titanium backup folder to computer. That way you don't have to redownload your apps.

I'm too lazy to do this too. But there's really an improvement in speed when I do this.

[Q] "Hello world, PM EasyView!"? Possible malware caught on screenshot?

I recently took a screenshot that revealed another background window behind a warning message window that says "Hello world, PM EasyView!"
Is this some kind of malware? I tried scanning my phone with Lookout Security and it did not detect anything suspicious.
It all began when all of a sudden my stock 2.2.2 Defy's Task Manager kept showing popup messages telling me that my Hotmail app is running for too long and is consuming memory. This never happened before, ie. Task Manager app showing warning messages about apps running for too long. I suspect a malware infestation. Please advise.

If you are scared that you are infected by malware the only "safe" thing to do is a full data wipe.
You dont have clockworkmod installed do you? Would be helpfull to have a full copy of the system to analyze it. I think clockworkmod would be a perfekt method to get a copy of the whole system.

sorry i don't know how to solve this. maybe it's time for you to change to some other ROMs...

Well not exactly scared but I was just wondering about the origin of that "Hello world" message. "PMEasyView"? I wasn't able to find any app or developer by that name among the apps installed on my phone. Just was wondering if anyone here knew thats all. I rooted my phone using SuperOneClick, does it install Clockworkmod too? Or do I have to do it separately?

I did install CM 7.1(2.3.7) but I didn't quite like it..I mean don't get me wrong..CM 7.1 is awesome but the ADW launcher kept crashing on me, something was eating up the battery way to fast and this is weird but I found that the sound quality(headphone and speaker) had actually deteriorated..maybe I didn't get some settings right but anyways I decided to roll back to the Motorola stock 2.2.2 froyo JRDNEM_U3_3.4.3-36-1.7 and wait until CM9 was out.
Thanks for the replies guys..really appreciate you taking the time.

If adw doesn't work for you, you can download another one from the market. I use go launcher and it works without any problems and damn fast. You should give it a try.

Well it's typical behavior of mallware - I dont have information, that stock task manager will inform you, that some process is running more than x minutes ... try wipe to factory settings and you'll be sure.

Rooting doesn't install Clockworkmod. You only get superuser after rooting. Install 2nd-init and you get Clockworkmod.
You should start using Droidwall and AVG antivirus pro. Try limit the data freedom running in the background.

Thanks for the replies guys. I think I'll wait for CM9. I do have Droidwall installed and I've scanned my phone thoroughly with Lookout Security but nothing was detected. Is it possible that the firmware posted here, the 2.2.2 India one is somehow infected?

I took another screenshot of the supposed malware today, this time without the task manager message. I was able to dismiss the task manager message by pressing the search key somehow.

I have seen exactly that same message today. I thought I have been fairly careful about Malware. However, there was an update that was installed from marketplace today.
I wonder if it is possible to look at an update history.

Is the message window in your case appearing under the exact same circumstances as mine? Which ROM are you using? And also if its possible could you do an inventory of the all the apps installed on your phone, then perhaps we can pinpoint the source. Thanks for the reply.

Firmware update notification!

My Transformer autorestarted and got this notification just now, can anyone confirm legitimacy?
My battery is below 15% so I cannot update yet.

Weird - the only thing I had done to mine was root with Vipermod - update installed fine, broke root, voodoo root keeper restored root without issue....
I didn't really have any of the issues that most people had - tho the screen tearing on the recent app list now appears to be gone....

I have the dlpkg if anyone wants it, i just have to transfer it to my PC. Looks like the kernel update, is only 11MB so it might upload here if I pack it in a zip..
Looking at it, there is a blob file almost certainly a new kernel, some system patches, lib patches, the updater script is tremendous.. and almost all if not all system apps get a patch too.
Nope, even though it is 11.54MB, and the forum claims that 11.81MB is the max, it won't let me upload it..I guess if you want it PM your email I can send it over..

Scratch my previous - the screen tearing issue on the recent apps list still exists past six or seven recent apps...

Got the notification too.I m rooted though so i wont proceed with the update procedure unless someones makes a flashable zip!

Reported for dubble posting. Use searching next time please.

I got mine around 10 am. But what I was doing when I got it was a wipe. After the wipe was when it told me I had an update. So far seems pretty good. Of course that's been said many times only to have to eat them. Time will tell.

Nice, please download the update and pull the .zip before rebooting to install it:
Code:
adb pull /cache/dlpkgfile.zip
then you can delete it:
Code:
adb shell rm /cache/dlpkgfile.zip

No work for me.
I am using ICS - Rooted
Downloaded the Updated (through OTA) and then it prompts to reboot and install and..Fails.
It is prolly because I Modified the system (Removed bloat and changed a few things. Lol.
I may re install it as stock rooted and try again.
I have no Issues, so I may not. Hmmmm

Yes, the updater script does a fair bit of assessing of your system..including all your bloatware that I can tell..because all of that is patched.
