Android Market Problems

Whenever I update any app it is causing the market to close. I'll go back to the market and the app I started the download update on will restart the download and finish. Very strange. This just started a few days ago. Any answers would be welcomed.

I have the same problem on stock rooted

It's happening to mine running Ice Glacier 1.1.2. It's been that for a while now.

Sometimes the market will force-close each time I start it forcing me to do some combination of clearing its cache, removing its update, or uninstalling the most recently installed apps. It's probably the least reliable app on my phone at the moment, with the mms app being in second place.
I've also started to have the issue of it crashing while download updates. If I restart it, it continues fine.
I have no way to qualify this, but it feels like the market app is particularly sensitive to network connectivity. Obviously it needs data to function but it doesn't seem to handle connectivity problems gracefully.
I'm still stock and not rooted.

Clear cache on market... That fixed mine.

I have this issue as well (rooted and unrooted). I was reading the google developer blog and many were complaining how this can screw up their payment, or processing of purchased apps. Not sure, but sounded like this was fairly widespread...

You are having the same problems I have. Force close on downloading of updates is very frustrating to say the least.
I am also stock and not rooted.

I have IG 1.1.1 flashed but my problem is it starts the download then freezes. The whole market goes down. If I reset the phone, when its done rebooting it doesn't reload all off my apps that were already saved to the sd card. Any ideas what is wrong or any way to get the lost apps back? I also have titanium but it only reloads them sometimes.

Thought I was alone with this! My market will also FC once I start to update an app, then multiple apps will update that I have flagged for auto-update. It seems my market gets overwhelmed by more than 1 app update running at a time. I just hit FC then re-open it and everything is fine again.

Market 2.2.6 seems a lot more stable for me. I will randomly get download failed messages from it, but it no longer seems to hang or FC anymore.

Market Issues

Is anyone else having issues with the Market? For the last few days it keeps saying I have updates available for the same 8 apps Angry Birds, Titanium Backup, Evernote, etc. I've updated them and then the next day the same apps have updates available. Today there were additional apps that needed updates along with the same group. Anyone else have this problem?

Wipe data and cache...that may help!
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

I wiped cache, didn't help but did speed up my Market app. I'll wipe data after my phone charges since it just died.
new update, so I decided to try and update individually, after selecting Angry Birds for instance inside it only has options for Open and Uninstall. So it seems internally it knows its up to date but in the list view it doesn't.

What is happening to you is definitely freaky. I would try to wipe the app cache and then use cache cleaner and clear all of the caches. Then i would reboot and see what happens.

Update: deleted cache and data. Deleted backup of Market app in Titanium and deleted data of Market through Titanium also. Restarted phone and now works normal.
Quick note, last night i let the phone's battery drain fully and charged it over night. Turned it on this morning and it went into Recovery. Restarted phone and ot started up normal. There seems to be a gremlin lurking somewhere.

Update again: well thought it was fixed. But happened again, this time had 2 updates and first one was fine but second one which was Sketchbook Express only had the Open and Uninstall option! Maybe I should've just used the update all. Emailed Android and they suggested uninstalling Market updates and it will update back to latest market version in a few days. They said if it happens again to email them again.
Old market works fine for now. Saw Sketchbook had an update and updated it. We'll see how this goes and keep you guys updated. If this keeps up maybe I'll just reset the whole phone and go to CM7.

I am having similar issues. For some reason only paid apps show is the "My Apps" list. After installing and uninstalling a single app all apps show, but only temporarily. This is getting really annoying.
I have also seen that google does know about the problem, but im not sure how that will help lol

Must have something to do with the latest market and handling videos. Well atleast I know I'm not alone now.

My Facebook app is not working correctly. I can't see anything. If I try to access the News Feed it says "An error occured while fetching data [No peer certificate]. I have uninstalled and reinstalled. Nothing.
I'm running the Synergy ROM. Stock kernal. Anyone else having this issue? Suggestions?
Thanks

Check your connection, happens when I don't have good signal.

Not the problem. It's happening in differnt locations. Thanks

First step, uninstall and reinstall the app. If that doesnt work, try flashing a new rom.

Use G+ instead

That is weird, I don't have that problem with AOSP here, hopefully someone with synergy can answer this better or go to their forum and post this.

yea, delete it and then download again.. sometimes you have to even do a reset. but save contacts first unless you have them on google.
if that doesnt work try downloading different versions of facebook through 4shared dot com

Here's an older version of the Facebook app you can try. I stopped using Facebook a while back, this is the version that I have backed up with TB (1.5.4).
If it works then you know that it's the version of FB you're using. If it doesn't work, you know it's something else - rom related, account related, network problems, etc.
If you are restoring app data with Titanium Backup when you reinstall, it could be something in the data causing problems. If you haven't already, un/reinstall your current version without restoring data.

You can also clear the data and cache in your settings for that app. Go into settings>applications>manage applications>select the facebook app from the list. Pres clear cache and press clear data. You will have to sign back into Facebook after doing all that. Let me know if this helped.

Yep, delete and reinstall the app

Uninstall the Facebook app. Leave it uninstalled. Forget you ever saw or heard of it. The app is nothing but trouble and the updates don't fix anything of consequence.
Then, install FriendCaster. It's a much better Facebook app, IMO.

[Q] [HELP] Google Search has stopped (tried all the fixes...)

Running stock 4.2.1, stock kernel.
Cleared cache and dalvik, rebooted back into rom.
Now Google Now force closes. If I clear data on "Google Search" app, and select not to enable Google Now, all is well.
As soon as I try to enable it, it crashes.
Tried fix permissions, didn't work.
Also disabled location settings, and allowed me to open google now.
Next I enabled settings, but only GPS. This worked as well.
Once I had GPS AND wifi, it crashed again.
Tried removing updates, restarting, clearing google framework data, etc.
What am I missing?

can't launch google now
I just started getting the same problem today. I can't launch the Google Search app without it immediately crashing (Unfortunately Google Search has stopped. Report / OK). If I reset data on the app I can launch it again until I turn on Google Now after which it crashes immediately again.
I'm on a stock Nexus 4, boot loader never been unlocked, not rooted, etc. I can't seem to find any other mentions of this problem anywhere.

Anyone else? I've been driving myself nuts trying to fix it!
Thinking of just dirty flashing stock again...

I'm pretty sure it's a server side problem with Google Now data that is causing the app to crash.

What I figured. Now I'm missing my Nexus 7 from the My Devices tab. Somethings going on. Just can't find any news/reports of it.

Yeah, I don't understand why nobody else is encountering this problem.
This thread is the only relevant result in web search.
There are 3 other people encountering the same issue on Google+ but I cannot post links because I just created this account.
Search for "google now crashes" on Google+ and you should see a few others with the same problem but no solutions.

My gs3 started doing fc'ing after I installed a new room. Hope it is something server side because I can't fix it.

Problem seems to have fixed itself.

Facebook notifications not working

So as the title says I'm not getting any notifications at all from facebook
But I do get the numbered facebook icon when there's a new comment etc
But nothing in status bar ?
So clearly the notifications are coming through
This is quite annoying and was happening on stock Rom before I rooted and went custom
No matter what I do it just didn't work
Uninstall reinstall
Wipe data clear cache
Format phone reinstall Rom
I even tried the BlackBerry fix using a BlackBerry emulator that didn't work either
Also my wife's works fine so I took the facebook app from her phone installed on mine same problem
Anyone else having similar issue or a possible solution

Have you found a solution for this? I experience the same thing with LG G3

Is the notification box ticked in application manager > all > Facebook?
Did you greenify the app by any chance?
Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk 2

I don't want to sound ratty I appreciate any help with this problem but
Of course notifications are enabled
As I've stated I've installed uninstalled ans checked all settings
The best I've got so far is installing the 20.0.0.7 alpha version of the app which
Then gives me notifications in the notification tray
But no audable notification or vibration
And the notification just launches the app itself and not the post in question

For the setting your refering to it's still enabled but I believe the only way for this to get disabled would be if I was to do it manually.

It should be the app's issue. You should report it to the app's author.

Better if it's not working, you'll get more done at work and at home.

I see where your coming from but my wife also has a note 3 running same os and same version of the app with no problems
i have even tried exporting here app to mine and still no joy
There's something somewhere causing this problem just a matter of finding it

This is a stab in the dark
Not facebook, but other apps i have had a similar issue, from what i discovered that App was no longer running in the background.
Other applications where grabbing the App and killing it to stop services running in Background and draining battery.
Have you tried viewing Logcat while forcing a notification (i.e. messaging yourself) to see if you get a error message.
If no error then i would defo suggest a App you have installed in Killing the app from Running.
Cleaner Master, Greenify, any apps like this.
Is it rooted? what about a quick backup Format install and install FB see if you still have same issue

I'm not receiving notifications on any mobile platform at all
android
IOS
Blackberry
I have wiped applications rebooted reinstalled formatted phone factory reset all devices
No matter what i do nothing works
i have removed all apps from recent activity and connected apps in facebook
This is not an application problem but an account problem
If i log in to any of the above devices with another facebook account they all work fine popups notifications sound everything
When i login as myself all i get is a numbered facebook icon no audio notification no notification tray no popup nothing whatsoever
WTF
At this point my only choice would be to crate a new account
But its absolutely doing my head in as to why it just refuses to work on my account
