Market fubar? - Epic 4G General

Yesterday tried updating an app and all I got was a quick 1 second showing of the download icon in the notification bar and then it dissappeared with no error message. Tried numerous other apps, same crap.
Went through the normal clearing the cache of the usual suspects, logging out and back in of gtalk, and nothing.
12hrs later (this morning) same crap. Did a wipe wipe wipe and restored from a backup from a few weeks ago. Now all my apps just sit on "download starting". So it seems to be a market issue rather than something with my phone. I can check gmail etc fine so my account is good.
Anyone else experiencing yet another market fail? WindowsME was able to keep a longer uptime than the market.

I have this happen to me occasionally. I'm on dk28. It has not Lasted as long is for you though. Usually it only lasts a couple of minitues. Same as my wifes stock evo same thing

Ok. Something with my setup. Did a factory reset and didn't restore any backup.
Setup gmail account, went to market, agreed to TOS and the first app I tried downloaded fine.
Wiped again, restored backup, now back to unsuccessful downloads.
So, what could be causing it I can try to fix? In no mood to start from scratch after a factory reset unless I have no other choice.
On rooted DI18, not using anyones rom

Factory reset and install your apps one by one and see when it starts to act up and when you've fingered your culrpit, restore data and delete it? Idk. I hate when I'm in that situation. I hope it helps

rebooted itself at home screen

I have researched this and could not find anything that applies. A few minutes ago after moving through several home screens but not selecting anything and no apps selected, I set the device down and lo and behold it had apparently rebooted without having been turned off and without the usual tmobile etc. happening on screen and was in the final stages of reboot with the Galaxy logo. This had to have happened in a matter of 1 or 2 seconds or less. I am stock but have rooted with the one click root. I have removed some bloat ware but nothing else has been done and only removed what was considered safe on other threads such as the bootup sound and telenav, amazon mp3 etc. This was all done about a week ago with no apparent issues and the device was operating in its usual smooth fashion. Prior to this I have had no issues except for the GPS. Is this something I should be concerned about and does anyone know what could have caused this? Any and all comments will be appreciated.
Delete all personal data, cache, after that it should turn on completely, but market may not work, you may need to download google apps, the same thing happen to me when I open google maps, the whole thing frooze on me

Can't seem to wipe this Spring Galaxy Tab

I've been given a Galaxy Tab by my office to play with for a while for some various development projects we have coming up and to evaluate its use. Initially another employee had it, but he quickly lost interest.
Problem is, his Gmail account has been tied in as the primary account for the system, so I can't use my own Market apps, etc. No biggy, I'll just wipe it, right? First I tried a data wipe from recovery, but despite claiming to be successful after a reboot it's still got his account in there. So then I did Privacy/Factory data reset, but that mostly just reboots into Recovery where I do the same thing again and still fail to wipe his data off the device. I then pulled the memory card and formatted it and also reset with it out, but no improvement. I finally downloaded the stock image and flashed it with ODIN and STILL his account remains.
So... any thoughts on what I could be missing here? I just want this thing back to pure stock so I can put my own account in and work with it as though it were new.
I am having the EXACT same issue on a Verizon Tab...
No one has been able to help me.

Glad I'm not alone, but sorry to see you've not gotten anywhere either. This seem absurd...
Agreed. I thought I was the only one.. It just doesn't make sense.. I flashed mine using heimdall and still the same issue. The only problem is that mine force closes when you do anything.. So if I can't restore the software on this it's absolutely no good to me.
Yeah, same here. Nearly none of the apps functions now after the reset. This is absurd.
I'm in the same boat. It's very frustrating. Sprint was not able to help me. All he could do was walk me through the factor reset. I downloaded a Market app that bugged out something and now I'm getting quite a few force closes.
I just notice that if I merely restart this thing is loses all changes I made since I last restarted it, adding back any apps I uninstalled, removing accounts and WiFi settings I installed, etc. This is screwy. Wondering if there's a hardware problem with the flash memory.

Listen to this, even more crazy than that... After my last unsuccessful wipe, I decided to just uninstall all of the applications. I just did another factory restore for the heck of it. Now ALL of the applications I uninstalled are back!.. AFTER the factory restore!
I think the only sure way to fix the problem is to get a zip file of the stock firmware and load it through the recovery screen.
Edit: since it put the applications back on there, I decided to try your situation. I uninstalled all of them, turned off the Tab and then back on. All applications are back.

It seems incapable of now making permanent changes to the flash memory. This is really screwy and annoying.
I am having the exact same issues. We are all in the same boat.. I have a $30 reward if anyone can fix this..
Any updates from the others with this problem?
I received 2 more Tabs today for my sales reps. They both work fine as far as factory restore. I noticed that the bad one goes to the boot loader when I initiate the restore through the Android software. The new ones do not. They format and reboot back into the operating system. Sprint is going to exchange the bad one.

Thanks for the comparisons. Mine also goes to Recovery mode when I initiate a data wipe, so clearly it's the same situation. I'll have to see how mine was acquired and whether an exchange is an option.

Force Closes on multiple ROM'S

Okay, so I initially rooted and was running Bonsai on DK28 and everything was great. When EB13 came out I installed syndicate frozen 1.0.1 and after the fixes for email and maps everything was once again great, for 3 days.
Today I started getting force closes for my wireless tether, email and messaging apps. Rebooted a couple of times and it still was happening. So I flashed Bonsai 3.0.1 and the same thing was happening. The only thing I installed today was the Angry Birds update and Startup Auditor, although I never opened and set anything up with that.
What do you guys think I need to do to get it back to "normal"?

Uninstalled startup auditor and rebooted. Still force closing.

It sounds like your data was corrupted. When you installed bonsai, it backed up the corrupted data and restored it. I would use AppBrain to sync your apps, wipe data 3 times in recovery, and then flash a new rom and reinstall your apps (from appbrain).
i have almost same problem except i did a fresh install of eb13 with odin , day 1 everything worked and then day 2 stuff kept crashing like messaging, email and some others
Did you ever pull your battery while the phone was still on? I did that twice and it did the same thing. The newer roms have journaling disabled so you have to be gentle and let them turn all the way off before pulling the battery.

I hope you didn't Advance restore your data from a previous DK28 rom...
Has anyone made any progress with this? I have the same issue of getting FCs on pretty much every ROM I use. It pulling the battery a problem?

Very much so. If you pull the battery on a no journal ROM your data gets corrupted because it gets no chance to close files and write back to the phone data. Journaling keeps and compares a copy of data to prevent this. Easiest way to get rid of FCs is factory data reset then enable journaling. Also if you keep restoring corrupted data you will get FCs all the time.
Try clearing data in all the apps that are FCing and clear data in Google Services Framework. If on a GB ROM you have to use Titanium Backup for rhis.

Sigh - having problem with the Market

This is one of the reasons that I hate installing new ROMs and restoring data, it never seems to work correctly. I just installed the newest CleanGB (which I love btw). I restored the data and the app "Point Inside" was showing that it needed to be updated, however it didn't have an update option when I went into it.
I tried clearing the Market cache but that option doesn't seem to exist any more (button is grayed out). I have rebooted my phone, uninstalled the app and reinstalled it, and it is still happening. The minute I reinstall it, it shows there is an update available, but there is none available.
Any ideas??? This is really getting to me now.
It will clear up in a day or two. I get that once in awhile on an app then the next day it's gone.

[Q] Nexus 4, Force close loop on all apps, Help?

Last night my phone was working perfectly and i didnt install any new apps yesterday so i dont know what caused this to happen...
At about 6am today i turned on my phone. it was all fine until i unlocked it. When i put in my pattern it unlocked and it showed a few of my icons for about half a second and then it came up with an error message saying that the launcher had crashed so i pressed "ok" and it came up again so i pressed "report" and then it said "market feedback agent has stopped" and went back to the launcher and came up with the first error again.
i was just thinking about a way of getting around all the errors to install a new launcher so then i could use my phone. i plugged in my earphones and used the button to start playing my music, then i unlocked my phone and quickly opened skype before the error came up again and then i went in my notifications and i could open Play Music from the notification, i had a notification for an app update so i clicked it and it opened the play store so i installed "go launcher ex" i tried going into my recent apps to change my song but it said "system ui" had crashed, i tried to get into my settings but that crashed too, i worked out that it was most of the stock apps and a few others like bbm that werent working.
device specifications:
Nexus 4
Android 4.3
Rooted
Stock rom
Stock kernal
I dont know what to do without losing everything? thank you for any help
rebooted already? This usually fixes a lot of probs.
cheers
This is happening to me to. I fix it by clearing the ram or closing all open apps. But it happens like once daily now. Any long term solutions?

just different description... Just cleared google service framework data... will check back in on that thread after tomorrow morning and let you know if it works.
Same here. Bone stock and I don't even shut the phone off but overnight something happens to it and all apps crash. It sucks because it was my morning alarm but the clock app crashes without sounding the alarm.
If I reboot it will work perfect till the next morning, then all over again. Wiped and it still does it. Called it in and Google wasn't aware of anything so if you get this make sure and call Google so they know its widespread.
I cleared services framework and it solved it. So far, 2 days without infinite force closes

Same thing happened to me today. I rebooted into recovery, cleared cache, clear dalvik cache and reboot. Been fine since.

That did not fix it for me.
I got the infinite loop the next morning.
i tried re-booting but nothing happened, i had to go into recovery mode and reset my phone. now i wish i made a backup.
I haven't been getting those major crashes yet but after a while I can't open any apps or they "stop. " I think it has been happening ever since I returned to stock for the kit Kat update. Closing all the apps sometimes fixes it but that ruins my favorite part of the phone which is I can have all my stuff open all the time.

I'm still having this problem. Did everyone else fix it or did it just go away?

You guys should try fastboot flash system... I was getting these crashes awhile back and flashing the system.IMG solved it for me. You will not loose any data either
