Is anyone else having issues with Market on the ADP CRB43 builds?
I checked My Downloads today and noticed about 9 or 10 updates to apps.
So I clicked Install and nothing. I cancelled them all. Tried one at a time. Nothing. I turned off my wifi and tried again. Nothing. Switched to Edge. Nothing. For hours it says Starting Download but doesn't do anything. It doesn't even download into the /cache folder. I've rebooted, reflashed and pretty much everything else that I can think of. Anyone else having these issues? The last time something like this happened that I can recall was with Haykuro's G builds. I'm hoping that it's not a repeat of those similar issues.
Update: I managed to get an app to download (GV) but when it tried to install "Installation error Insufficient storage available"
I have apps2sd and I've removed the stock ringtones from the build giving me only 89% of used space in /system directory and I have about 600mb free on my ext2 partition. Insufficient storage my a$$!
Anyone else have issues with this "Insufficient storage" error?
ive been trying to figure this out since yesterday but i am completely lost and really need help..
this started yesterday. i had my phone connected with adb and pulled some files (LatinIME.apk, framework-res.apk). i did not push or delete any. around the same time i download fx camera. all the work i did was actually just on the computer. the only thing i did on the phone around that time was use root explorer to check the name of the .apk for fx camera.
im not sure if any of that could possibly mean anything but i thought maybe it was worth mentioning.
here are the symptoms. right after i was done the phone was acting sluggish and crappy (it always does when i disconnect from usb since i switched to froshedyo v10) so i rebooted. upon booting up, 90% of apps were missing. i didnt feel like using titanium backup to manually "ok" each install, so i opted for a fairly recent NAND backup to restore to. i did but upon booting up, the same apps were missing.. very weird right? i know they were there when i made the backup.. so now i decided i had to use titanium. but when i began i noticed that it wouldnt install any app. it would hang on the "installing" screen forever. i rebooted and this time tried an app from the market, only to have the same results.
i did try wiping everything and starting fresh (with froshedyo v10). a strange thing happened. after logging in and setting up the basics i left it alone to restore the apps. when i checked later i had the notification, "applications partially restored". i never had that before.. it seemed like maybe a few more apps were there, but not much. i was mostly in the same boat. and again, titanium backup and market would not install any apps..
please help.. whats going on??
---------latest info--------
i wiped everything and tried to start fresh with a brand new copy of nonsensikal 16.1. no apps were restored, and i am unable to install or uninstall any app on the phone. it will just hang on the installing/uninstalling screen.
i have done multiple wipes and flashes, testing each time to see if anything is working, but it has not worked once. i can not install or uninstall any apps.
Were you using Apps2sd? I wonder if it could be something with that. Especially if your rom seems to be fine. Is everything else showing up on your sd card?
the file manager on the phone shows all my sd card contents just fine.
i believe when i first installed this rom about a week ago i did find an option somewhere in settings that said "choose location to install apps" (i chose external) and "allow moving of apps to external" (i chose yes).

oooh, i would love to download that app from the market if it might fix my inability to download and install apps. if only i was able to download and install apps..
Oops, my bad. I just skimmed over your post and saw 90% of apps gone. So even if you had an apk on your sdcard it wont let you install it?

U could flash the vending.apk that should bring back your market

I don't think you have a market problem...it sounds like an sd card issue which would explain alot of the symptoms including issues when unmounting from pc. If all your apps are installed on the sd and the card doesn't mount right they will "dissapear" as you have described. Try changing the setting to install apps back to internal and then apps should install. If apps install after you do that it probably means the sdcard is corrupted so you will need to back up the files on your sd and then reformat the card. PLEASE remember to back up the sd card before reformatting since it has your nand backups on it. The market fix is only a fix for apps not showing in the market not on the phone.
lol its ok rhamej.
i think i should clarify though that i do have a market. it may be worth noting that i used to have a blue themed market, which during this problem seems to have reverted to the stock green market. but i do have a market.
when i try to install from the market, it just kind of stalls when i accept the terms and permissions needed by the app. like, when i click the final "ok" which should then lead to the app actually beginning to download, it just stops. doesnt freeze the market or FC, its almost like the button is unresponsive.
when i try to install an app via file manager from sd card, it hangs on the "installing" screen. same with titanium backup.
----------developments------------
i couldnt stand not having my apps so i did a NAND back to nonsensikal. my apps were all restored this time but im still having problems installing.
from the sd card: hangs on install.
from the market: now will download, but hangs on install.

i did change that one setting back to internal, and disallowed moving apps to external. it didnt seem to make a difference though. i will take your advice on backing up the data and reformatting though. thanks.

we must have been posting at the same time but these all still sound like what i mentioned in my above post. Your apps are back with nonsensikal because they probably weren't installed on sd when you made the nand for that rom.

lol posting at same time again...you are probably typing right now...try rebooting the phone also after the setting has been changed....for some reason froyo depends too much in my opinion on the sd card and really can cause issues with it.
quick question. what format should my micro sd card be in? i know i formatted it right around the time i got it, to FAT32. im assuming thats correct but i would like to double check. google isnt answering my question fast enough..
still no progress.
i wiped everything, flashed a new nonsensikal 16.1. apps didnt automatically come back. i can not install or uninstall apps on the phone. they all hang on the installing/uninstalling screen.
how could this have happened? how can i fix it? i will gladly do a more thorough wipe. i wiped data and davlick. what else could i do to completely reset my phone to fix this problem? that is assuming that there is no other ideas of options.. i hope there is!
edit: in regards to previous ideas, i reformatted my sd card (FAT32) and replaced all the files.

You could try the flashback 21 file here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=792026
That should take you back to stock and replace your custom recovery with the default one. You could then re-root. I don't know if that's what you want, but that would be about as complete of a reset as you could get as far as I know.
Does anyone else know if this is the best option? I would hate to mislead...
I had a problem similar to this after I dropped my phone. I could not install any apps (market or .apk) and reading of my SD card was spotty at best. What fixed it for me was first deleting the .android-secure folder on the sd card. [NOTE!: this may delete some/all apps/app data you have so I hope you have a backup]. I have no idea why but the .android-secure was not happy at all ;] I believe you have to delete it on a computer because android file managers just can't do it.

Did you put all your files back on your sd card after reformatting it? I would try reformatting the card and then see if it works before you put your files back on. Like the previous poster said the android_secure folder could be messed up and if your copying it back could still cause issues.

There is a link talking about doing this on the op of my floyo rom thread
well that android_secure thing seems to have been the problem! thank you guys very much! i just deleted it and rebooted and i am now able to install and uninstall apps, both from the sd card and market.
it got to the point where i couldnt connect via usb unless i was in recovery so things were getting pretty frustrating. im glad its over. any guesses what might have caused this craziness?
i used gingerbreak to root 1.8.3 and now when im in the market it says my only apps installed are maps and youtube.
anyone else get this?
all the apps still work. only market doesnt recognize that they are installed
Sometimes Gingerbreak formats your entire internal SD card. I've never had it happen myself though. And I've rooted about 4 different times with gingerbreak.
it did format my sd. i backed everything up though and put it all back on the sd card
Yeah i had a very short list of apps that were there... and it did format my internal sd card the first time I ran it.... so maybe that's what the deal was. I flashed the 1.83 sbf today and ran gingerbreak again and it didn't format the card.
Not sure what a fix would be, but it would be nice to get updates for those apps eventually.
settings, applications, manage applications, all tab, market, clear data
should solve it

I tried that and it didn't seem to help.. I was hoping it would re-enumerate the applications. Not sure If I've rebooted since then though... let me try that.
UPDATE: Clearing data and rebooting worked.
My HD2 has Android version 2.3.7, Kernel version 2.6.32.15_tytung_r14_callrec-g42b00bc. It has 571 MB available internal memory.
I have no problem downloading & installing small apps from Google Play but every time I attempted to download apps that are more than 4 MB (approximately) I would get the "low internal memory" error. As a result I can't install or update some apps (which are more than 4 MB such as Google Maps, Earth, Box, Shazam, on and on...) from my phone.
I ended up having to search the web for the .apk file and manually install them from the SD card, which is a real hassle. Even then most of them are either not available or up-to-date. Thanks in advance for any solution. And many thanks again to the folks who made it possible for the HD2 to use Android.

So installing them from the sdcard worked every time and didnt give you a low memory error? I was gonna say if you had apps2ext enabled. or data2ext to disable them. But if they load fine from your SD card then its not that. It seems like a problem with the market. Have you tried going into the Application settings and clearing out the Market cache? Or even clearing the cache and dalvik cache in recovery? Thats where i would start.
It installs fine if I were to do it from the SD card. I cleared the cache from Google Play and still no go, haven't tried clearing other caches yet. Don't know why the error when I have 571 MB available internal memory and 14 GB available on the SD card.
Try using MarketFix from the playstore to fix insufficient storage error.

I'm using HD2_NDT_MIUI_GINGER_2.3.7_DEVELOPMENT_V48.0. I'm an Android novice (jumped from Window Mobile 6.5) and my friend installed it for me. A very nice ROM I might add...user interface is much like the Iphone....clean and functional.

Just ran it and it worked! No more insufficient space error. Thanks a million!
I'm new here and I'm not sure if this has been asked or addressed before.
My situation is that I recently got an SD card to hopefully combat the constant insufficient storage issue. What I learnt is that it wasn't that easy. I tried many proposed solutions (link2sd, manually trying to move apps to the sd card from the application manager, using abd to try and change the install location and then finally rooting) but none proved to be the answer.
When I tried using abd, at first it would give me an error message but after going into Terminator emulator and changing it from there, it said that worked, even did pm get-install-location and it said that it was set to the external and even went as far as running cmd from my computer and this time it said it also worked. I downloaded some apps and once again they were downloading to the internal storage.
I would really appreciate if someone could help me with this or at least point me in the right direction.
