hi i have a very annoying problem for whatever reason my market wont open. i was messing with a lot of different roms last nite and when i wake up it wont open keeps closing the moment i open it i have tried wiping many times tried 3 different roms still nothing any ideas guys?
it's all G1's right now. even my boy who has a non rooted phone is having problems
damn?
really argh annoying..
Mine's fine.
I was having issues yesturday trying to install apps. Specifically a paid app.
I tried downloading it and it would get stuck at Authorizing Credit Card.
I tried rebooting, disabling wifi, rebooting, cancel the download, install, reboot, install, cancel, install... a couple hours later (around 7 or 8 pst) I tried it again and it worked on the first try. Maybe Google is having issues.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Sometimes (5-6 times in the last 24 hours) when the phone is sleeping, it will not wake when I hit power/unlock. I have tried installing no lock, hoping it was a glitch in the lock screen, but it still happens. The only way to fix it is to pull the battery.
Any advice?

Are you running setcpu? Mine was doing this when I would lower the speed with a screen off profile. I just uninstalled setcpu for now. I don't think the kernel supports it anyway.

No, I had it, but since I can't overclock yet, there was no need to keep it installed. I did a factory reset, so we'll see if this fixes things.

let us know how it goes... If you experienced any unable to wakes after the reset...
Seems to be working fine. I'm not sure what the problem WAS, but the reset seems to have fixed it.
Root and busybox were still intact. Had to re-do the lag fix. (Method 1)
I'll update if I get the issue again.
My phone is just so...VIBRANT
Samething happened to me yesterday morning. Woke up found my phone wouldn't go back up. I thought it was dead, until I pulled the battery. I haven't Root hack it or installed SetCPU.
Sorry to throw this issue in this topic, but anyone have any problem with the phone rotating sideway for WEB and Messaging? I thought when I first got it, it worked.. now it doesnt..
There is probably a common app here or something causing this because I don't ever recall hearing this type of issue with the Vibrant before this thread.
I had the same thing happen to me and found after much trial and error that when I pulled my SD card out I was then able to wake the phone up. Apparently there was some problem with my SD (I was using it with my previous phone..MT3G) that was causing the Media scanning process to get stuck.
I ended up backing up what I needed from the SD and reformatting it. Since then I haven't had any issues. We may or amy not have the same root cause but hopefully this does help.
I'm thinking the problem HAS to be software related. After the reset, I've reinstalled everything I had before, and it's working like a charm! I've even used Titanium Backup to remove a lot of the bloatware, and still ruining great!
I just wish we could get a logcat, but when it happens, the phone is dead until you pull the battery.

I am almost 100% SETCPU is the problem..
My phone would not come out of sleep.. I had to pull the battery and when I turned it on it would say "auto update of time and date".. That made me think the phone lost its internal battery and the phone was bad..
It started doing it right after I configured SETCPU... I installed the program last Thursday but never clicked on it.. I set it for on demand and that is when it started not coming out of sleep..
So I removed SETCPU and it still would not come out of sleep..
So I did a wipe all user data and it started working fine.. I installed SETCPU and it was still working fine.. I setup SETCPU for performance and it started messing up again and not coming out of sleep..
So, I wiped all user data again last night and it has been working perfectly since.. So I do not plan on reinstalling SETCPU...
Hello everyone, I've got an interesting problem that I want the experts here at XDA to help me troubleshoot. Feel free to ask questions as I know there's probably a million variables at this point with stuff installed, uninstalled, gps, root, task killers, etc.
alrighty with that said, I did the e-wrecked gps fix (changing the operation mode and server location+port). That seems to work great in terms of time to lock on my position as well as improved accuracy. Over the next couple of days I noticed some really choppy and lengthy phone start ups after the fix.
Eventually it got to (and currently is at) a point where it kept rebooting the phone, or at least touchwiz. It would load up, scan media, search for the network, do all the start up stuff, then lock up, and turn the screen off. Hitting the lock button/power button does nothing while it resets itself. Then it resets to the lock screen, the screen lights up and it goes into "searching" for the tmo network while doing the storage preparations, and other boot up stuff. It does not restart from cold (with the vibrant, tmo, and galaxy animations, only the lock screen and OS boot process)
Anyone else got any funky restarts going on, for whatever reason? I basically want to start seeing what would trigger this behavior. I started uninstalling stuff one by one trying to figure out why its doing that but sometimes it boots up fine, sometimes it boots but doesn't ever find tmo's network, and sometimes it just does the above.
Observations:
1. It will always boot up fine if the SIM card is out.
2. The last time it did it was today while I was at work, listening to music while the phone was charging. Im noticing that the phone gets pretty hot while charging and really hot if you're using while its charging (getting apps, surfing the web, playing games, etc)
So any thoughts from the tech gurus here? anyone have similar behavior in the past on other phones? is the heat affecting the sim card negatively? I can (and have) put my simcard back in my treo 680 backup phone with no issues whatsoever.
New observation, it consistently does the reset process as soon as the "Adjust Time and Date" as it registers/syncs with the network.
UPDATE: so, i did some research, ended up at the setCPU thread and saw that when set to OnDemand some people's phones experienced similar tendencies. Problem is, mine was already set to auto-detect and "Conservative". I un-checked start at boot, and tried again. Same problem. I uninstalled setCPU completely and my phone appears to be back to normal.
I'll update again if anything changes.
so one of the things that i removed during my troubleshooting was my corporate exchange account. When i added it back. it did its initial sync fine and gave me my calendar and contacts. I then rebooted and the problem came back.
I removed the account and rebooted. it went through two cycles of the restarts and on the third one, it worked. I left it alone after that.
I then was showing my friend some things (browser differences) and had 3 browsers open. It froze as i went to close Dolphin HD. Rebooted and now its back to the cycle.
Mine did this also. Installed several apps, woke up to find a slow phone. Resets galore. A quick reset to defaults and app restore fixed it, sans setcpu of course.

my phone resets itself also as described above, but not really doing anything in particular. i dont have a whole lot of apps installed. i even was using google maps the other day and after it started up the screen went black and the device was unresponsive until the screen came back and it said searching and the media scanner was running.
well first off thanks for responding lol. i thought i was by myself out here.
secondly, i found that if i leave it alone and let it go through its cycle, it does eventually boot up ok (this is recently, before, it was endless). i havent restarted my phone (im afraid to lol) since it did it on its own yesterday (showing my friend the browsers).
since yesterday, i've used it for navigation (motonav), serveral installs, downloaded podcasts, rss feeds, etc and its been ok (even while charging and wifi on). again, havent actually restarted it since yesterday because its actually functioning for once.
Lastly, i unchecked the auto update time and date from network in the settings just to see if that makes a difference because based on previous expereience that is the point where it freezes and resets. Thanks for chiming in and let me know if there's any other advice you have
I'd suggest a reset as mentioned above.
Been checking out this site for awhile but this is my first time posting, today my phone started to have this problem and it just bootloops touchwiz if i have a simcard in the phone.
It works fine without a simcard but my problem is it will not let me turn of auto update of time and date, i have tried disabling this setting and it just enables itself again. I have also noticed that if I started messing around with time and date settings even without a sim touchwiz reloads once. I guess im gonna give a reset a go.

sorry, noob question (i came from winmo and a touch pro 2), what does "a quick reset to defaults" mean? is that like a factory wipe i.e. phone will be brand new again, gotta root again and reinstall everything, change settings, etc?

Root will stick but settings and apps/app data will be gone. It briefs you on what is and isn't lost when you do a factory reset.
Smae problem, its setcpu!
SetCPU with any settings will do this.
It needs an update, the auto detect some how loses and
will set the cpu to 19mhz max and min.
This is too slow to process. I rebooted and pressed settings and uninstalled it
while I could. Seems to behave once out of touchwiz.
For me it was another app not setcpu I never used it. After i did a reset i restored all my apps with titanium backup and once i restarted my phone it looped again. So i did another restore and left off all the apps that i installed right before the problem started and so far i think for me at least one of these caused it
Google maps update
google translate
the extra language pack for translate
barnacle wifi tether
hero of sparta
these are apps that I installed right before the problem happened and without these my phone works fine I am going to see if i can find that one that caused my problem.
It's not the maps update because my phone works fine with it.
It was hero of sparta a gameloft game from there web market funny thing is its suppose to work on the vibrant while dungeon hunter which works fine would only give nexus as a check out option. Anyway im going to try to get a refund tomorrow.
I get the same touchwiz reboot but for me it has only ever happened while using google maps. I do not use set cpu, but I have applied the gps fix. It is more than a little annoying. I have done a system wipe but the problem persists.

yes, if you have setcpu, uninstall it - its buggy with the galaxys
- sometimes you can't wake your phone (if you set a screen off profile), forcing you to do a battery pull
- constant launcher restarts

and this is why i started the thread, to make sure i wasnt all alone. i have everything you have installed as well, but it was doing it before i picked up hero of sparta (and nova, and asphalt 5, man those guys make some good phone game lol).
anyways i just installed barnacle wifi tether yesterday so thats not it either (at least for me). That leaves the google stuff, out of the apps in your list, all of which were installed when i first got the problem, and are still on there after I've removed setCPU

ok so, contacts, text messages, etc stay? Meaning if i do a factory reset, root stays, and all app stuff can be taken care of by, say, AppBrain since it has a running list of everything installed and knows where to get it to install it again? I apprecicate the advice, but this would still be a last resort sort of thing. my phone has worked fine for the past few days but I also havent restarted it yet either
just a quick update, my phone still does this if i reboot my phone (which is never now that i got my 32gb sd card), but for the first time ever hero of sparta caused it to happen while the phone is on. I uninstalled it so we'll see.
I bought my Nexus 7 (16GB) just a week ago. It's been working fine up until today. I have installed a couple of apps so far. Today I heard about a new app I wanted to search for so I clicked on the shopping bag icon to go to Google Play. A message popped up asking if it was ok to do an update so I clicked on "install now". It took just a couple minutes then the nexus shut off and restarted itself.
I returned to Google Play and after searching for the particular app (without success) I returned to the main screen and tapped on the one game I had installed - and am now addicted to - Flow Free. I got a pop up message that said, "Unfortunately, Flow Free has stopped" and it gives me the option to click on "report" or "ok". It had been working perfectly every day for the last week so I couldn't imagine why it wasn't working now.
The first couple of tries to open it I clicked on "ok" thinking that it might just be slow to respond but the app never opened. I tried turning off the nexus, waiting a few minutes then turning it back on hoping that a re-boot would fix the issue. It didn't. I still got the same message. I tried uninstalling the app then re-installing it. Same issue. I tried uninstalling it, turning off the nexus then turning it back on and re-installing. Same issue.
Since "report" was one of the options I clicked on that and sent a report. But I have no idea how that works. Does someone actually read these and respond or does it just go on a list of complaints people have that go ignored?
All the other apps I had previously installed still worked ok. I installed a couple more just to make sure they work and they do.
So my questions are: Was it the update that caused this particular app to stop working or was that just a coincidence? Is there anything else I can do to get this app to work again?
FIrst the issue: Every day once I let my phone laying around for a couple hours, it will behave oddly and the "Always On Display" app will keep crashing and the phone will flash the screen trying to start again the app and it keeps in this loop forever until I restart it. If I try to open the phone main screen it will sometimes say "Always On Display" stopped working or "System UI" stopped working or a combination of both.
After rebooting, it works fine again for maybe another 20 to 24 hours.
Details:
This started happening one day after I changed the system language. My phone has always been in US English but I had a problem with a local app in Portuguese so I added the language and made it primary. After that I simply changed English again as primary and left Portuguese as secondary.
I don't know if this is related, but is very suspicious since when you change the language, lots of things in the UI behave differently for a while. After seeing the issue, I did remove Portuguese from the language list but I'm guessing the damage to some setting might already be done because the issue persists.

Hey I did face the same problem... I changed the theme and it stopped happening... Usual with high contrast themes they crash
Just give it a clean wipe and restore, see how that goes

Juste delete systemUI app and always on display app data or factory rest. Make sur u are on last update
Hi!
I'm having the same problem. I just came around at the 15th January. The first days it happend once a day. Now every 3-4 days.
I tried wiping the cache, but it didn't help. We are also discussing this topic at a german android forum. Someone reported there, that even a factory reset didn't help. The error occurs some days later again.
I suspect it's due to an app update, which is causing the problem.
Yesterday I tried to delete the systemUI ans AoD App data, like @KarimAssiakh suggested. Now I have to wait, if it will happen again.
Has anyone else found a working solution?
It's me again.
Deleting the System-UI and AlwayOnDisplay data didn't help. I'm still getting the error every 3-4 days.
I'm trying to avoid a factory reset. I also read in an other forum, that a factory reset won't help. The issue came back after some days. Maybe it's caused by an app update.
Has anyone found a solution to solve this problem?

Wow, nice to hear. Thanks!
I have some questions to understand what you did exactly. Maybe I will try it in the next days.
After the down- and upgrade the error didn't occur any more? How many days ago did you do the reset and how long was your device running after that? Because the error only occurs after 3-4 days at my phone. Maybe your just in this range?
Did you install all your apps again and made the same settings like before or do you use a different setup now? Did you use a full backup with the LG tools for your apps, settings etc?
Is your AlwaysOnDisplay activated? It seems that the AlwaysOnDisplay is causing the problem.
It would be great to hear from you again.
Thanks!!!

Bro not one's I've got the error... After I did the process... As far as I remember when the error used to occur I had to restart the device altogether.. Yeah download you're region kdz and lguppercut
Seems I am late to the party because this happened to me also. Have you guys tried the solution below? Posted by someone who goes by the handle XGXGXGX over at Android Central

Same thing happened to me, the file size of the photo is too big. Did a hard reset and cleared phone cache and it didn't work.
The fix: Go to:
Settings
> Applications
>Press Menu Button (3 dots in the top right corner)
>Choose "Show System Apps"
>Always On Display
>Force Stop
> Clear Data
>Clear Cache
This worked for me. Got info from another forum with instruction to only clear Cache, but that didn't work, so I did all of the above instead and it worked. I have the T-Mobile version.
Obviously the G6 has Always-on display Provider and Always-on display apps you will have to drill into , stop, and clear cache.
I've tried it and I will report my findings...
