Market issues today?

Anyone else having issues with the market right now? When I try to download or update an app the download will appear to start and immediately stop. No errors reported. I have tried clearing market data even restored a nandroid backup from yesterday that was known to be good. Still the same problems.

I also uninstalled several app thinking maybe I was low on storage. Didn't help.

I was just about to download and install another rom because I've been having the same problem since yesterday... But guess im not the only one..
I haven't been able to download pocket legends or angry birds. There are some apps that work, so i'm not sure exactly what the problem is.

I just started having those issues

I thought it may be ROM issue, but I guess not.
I am having similar issues as the OP.
I wiped the cache and data for the market and did a reboot, was about to nandroid my backup from yesterday, even tried it through appbrain...nothing is working.
the apps i am trying to update is green power premium and yelp.

I can't get anything to download now. It was working fine 3 hours ago.

Same issue for the last few hours. Also, facebook won't load the feed.

same here starts to update then quits.

I'm happy it's not just me!
The market app was running fine this afternoon but tonight it stopped working. Apps will show as Downloading and the download icon will momentarily show up in the notification bar (for less than a second). After the icon disappears, the status changes to Download Unsuccessful.
This is happening on every app (new installs and updates). I cleared the data and cache of the Market app and rebooted a few times but I get the same result. I assume this has to be a Market issue...

Same issue here.

Does anyone know if there is some sort of "Android Market Status' page provide by google to see when it's up/down etc..?

Same thing here. It starts to download but immediately stops & disappears from the upper task bar. I was just about to wipe my phone but decided to search the forums... good thing you started this thread OP. Looks like the market is down.

seems its been going on for a while, lately, still looking for an answer in all the mess of "me 2's"

sorry for the double... question...what version of the market do you guys have? mine is 2.12, which is the latest and seems to be the cause of the issues...

I have version 2.12.

so i cleared data on Talk, and then turned off the automatic sign on and signed off. and market works. weird. very.
i never use Talk, so i would have never thought of it.
got this fix from...http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Android+Market/thread?tid=547c99010699d376&hl=en&start=40

The market servers are located in south Korea. If you don't know whats happening down there, you don't deserve a working market...

Media scanner running...

Everytime I try to start my camera, it won't open and "media scanner running" starts. I can clear data in Media Storage and it corrects the error until I reboot my tab and it starts all over again.
I have tried everything I can think of including switching to every available ROM. The only "permanent" fix I've found is flashing the 3.1 OTA rom.
I'm hoping someone has had this problem and found a solution.

Multiple times...just found what I think has fixed the issue. Seems I had a corrupted multimedia file of some sort. I just deleted all media (pics, movies, music) and started from scratch and has worked thru 3 reboots.

My Video Player won't open since yesterday when I updated to v3.2 and it immediately closes and then runs the media scanner. I wonder if this is the same issue??

Which rom are you currently running?

Running the latest stock UK rom for the p7510XXKL2 v3.2

Also happen to me. Very disturbing...
send from android 3.2 device

After a few hours the tab rebooted itself and since then video player has been working, no idea what it fixed, but it fixed itself.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk

the media scanner can crash if it stumbles on a file with issues (corrupted, wrong file ending etc.)
first thing to try is to delete (backup) all the media files and see if works without them as Alleycat wrote.

teamovercome.net/p7500/?page_id=5 has a good guide at the bottom of that page for restocking. Also there seem to be a lot of problems around weird filenames, last week Kies would not even detect my Tablet until I deleted a bunch of files with strange characters.

I too had the same problem running task's slim 13. Does anyone think that this might be an android virus of some kind?
Edit: I also noticed a process called "root" running superuser permission. My screen would just flash "root has been granted superuser permission" but i would not open any kind of app. Also, when checking superuser I could see root had been granted access several times. Not sure if this is related.
EDIT: Nevermind, it appears the system just needed to scan for media and my sdcard was pretty full so it took a while.

I get that sometimes, to solve it clear cache of Video Player

Thanks
I will try this, I am still having issues with video player for v3.2

Hi,
I finally gave up on this problem and stollped the media scan from running at all - I have not noticed the difference except that the camera and video player now work. I used Rescan Media Root from the Market.
Sinnce I use QuickPic to manage media, I doubt I will suffer from the Media Scanner not operating.
Also using Slim 13.1 and the native Video Player. This issue did not occur with Dice Player, but I like the way the native player handles 5.1 sound

same problem. I am coming from AOKP. Can this be an issue when comming from an ICS ROM as the camera doesn't work there. I did a full wipe/dalvik wipe/cache wipe, why would this still be lingering? Still hasn't fixed itself and I tried the clearing cache under settings > apps. Any other ideas?

I had this when my storage was maxed out, what's the status of your free space?

Same happened to me after switching from ics to hc. The only solution is downloading Rescan media root from market and disabling the media scanner

if you are still in HC 3.2, the easiest way to fix this problem is going to task manager and kill the programs in the ram manager. worked.

Video stutter?

Anyone else experiencing video stutter while trying to stream inside a browser? I've tried chrome, chrome beta, Firefox, and built in browser. Its especially worst for HD video.
It'll also happen in YouTube app on 1080p videos although to a less noticeable degree.
Netflix and play movies seem to perform normal.
Thinking there needs to be some software optimization done in a future patch to address this.
Can anyone else replicate this issue inside a browser ?

Had this issue after rooting my device. I went into both my installed browsers and cleared all cookies, cache and history. Once completed, I did a reset on my device and voila, it's all working fine now. Sometimes I notice a bit of lag but this is when I'm connected via WiFi and I have about 10 other devices connected hence some lag.

No, I bought the phone from a local carrier in Canada called WIND Mobile. They do not support LTE data but a slower 4G speed. I had to ROOT and install a custom Telus ROM then change the regional carrier settings to recognize the Telus ROM. I have not had any issue though and whether a stock ROM or not, I think it's more to do with the application (browser) and how it renders the video playback.
Hope this helps!

[Q] Not able to rescan media

Hey guys,
I've been searching around, but I can't find a clearcut fix, so maybe someone here has some insight. Recently I started noticing that random pictures started dissapearing from my gallery, seemingly (but not 100% sure) after the kitkat update on my Note 3. Before I also saw some pics dissapear (a couple I downloaded) but I didn't put much thought into it.
Now, after the update, I was sarting to notice more pictures have dissapeared. The thing is, if I go into whatsapp, select a convo and click on media I actually see the pictures and all, but in the gallery in the "whatsapp images", and in "all images" album they are nowhere to be found. I tried for a solution on google, but to no avail except rescanning the media. Usually that would be taking the sd card out and put it back in to rescan the card, but it refuses. The weird thing is that every app in the store that deals with rescans imediatly Force closes when starting the scan. I mean all of them, and I installed about 10. I have no cfw's or roms running so I can't figure out what the issue is.
Obviously I tried resetting, rebooting and all the usual stuffs.
ANy help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Dylan

Seems like you need a reflash of stock firmware.
No data lost btw

Did it work out for you?
You see - I seem to have run into the exact same issue.
Running 4.4.2 stock rooted.
Reflashed with Mobile Odin
Injected Root, SU, and Mobile Odin
Wiped Dalvik-cache & user data.
Reinstalled everything.
Improvement: Zip, Zilch, Nada.
Still forced closure on media scanners :crying:
Help!! (sniffle).

Elo

Fixing permissions didn't help either.

Video freezing on YouTube

After around 30 seconds of any youtube video, the video freezes and the audio continues. I've tried uninstalling updates but the factory version is also the same. So now the app is unusable. Any idea what's happening and what we can do to fix it? Seems a lot of others are facing this issue. I'm unsure if it's a youtube problem or a samsung one...

Have factory reset and it's still happening. I'm on kitkat and tried using both factory version of app and updated version.
Seems to be affecting people with note 3s and s5s

mine did that I updated to newest version and flashed it twice and factory reset twice

Use the nodded version found in xda android apps thread.

Thanks but for some reason I'm not able to install that version

Try to use another Internet connection?
E.g if you are using Wifi to watch the video, use 3G or another Wifi connection...
If you are using 3G, try to use Wifi.
Also check if you have enough free storage space available.

Thanks I'll give it a go on 3g although it works ok on my home connection with other devices and it's not a regular buffering issue.
I have around 18gb free space so can't imagine it's that

You have another options:
1- Feedback to the Youtube app's author for support to fix the issue.
2- Try another Youtube player apps, e.g FREEdi YouTube Player or Video Tube, and see if the problem still persists.

Possible solution
Unfortunately i had your same problem but in my case a simple reinstallation of the app solved the problem, try with a factory restore

I just made a post about this on the Sprint Galaxy S5 board. What I had to do was disable or turn off the ANT Radio Service, there should be two apps for it if this is your problem as well.

Unfortunately it is not very easy because it has to be turned back on and then it will download and reinstall the updates which takes some time and is very annoying. It might be possible to freeze the apps using titanium backup but I haven't tried this yet.
