Can't Preview in Gmail

FIXED!!! SEE END OF POST.
Using the latest RC30 mod from JesusFreke, everything works swell (cache to sd card, autorotate, multitouch, etc).
However I can't preview anything but .txt files in gmail! If I try to preview a .doc or .pdf file it crashes (Gmail has stopped unexpectedly) every time.
Not sure what is causing it, I believe it should be calling HTML Viewer and then maybe doesn't find it? I can view things with HTML Viewer though (txt files through ASTRO, etc).
I recently installed Linda File Manager as it adds a plugin to the Browser that enables the downloading of any content, however I've removed this app (and ASTRO) but haven't seen any results. I also reset the "defaults" on pretty much all involved apps.... At the moment I can't view pdfs through gmail and I really need to for work.
Any ideas?
Thanks

hey did you find a fix for this?? im experiencing the same exact thing....

concerning pdfs I had the same experience...
I noticed that my test license of jetcet pdf had expired. I uninstalled, reinstalled...
and it works again.
I am on JF 1.4.1 RC8

I fixed the problem by loading a nandroid backup from the previous day. then i opened gmail and when it asked me what default viewer i would like to use I chose HTML viewer
although it gave me the option of setting ASTRO instead. what i dont get is, why didn't the problem go away after i reset all programs to default and uninstalled ASTRO? mmaybe i should have restarted or something.

im on a stock rc 30 so im guessing id have to get root with one of JFs modded roms before i can do that nandroid? the jetcet program solved the pdf issue but im still force closing when trying to preview docs....html viewer opens independently but not through gmail...really annoying!

i would suggest clearing your defaults for gmail.... also root gives you nandroid yes but yu also need the sdk to flaah the backups. use mybackup as well!

no defaults are set....i guess i have to root to get it to work...

My problem came back! I uninstalled ASTRO, rebooted, and it is still here. No defaults to clear.
Using JF's version of RC33 now.

Also: you don't need root to reset defaults, but if you know how to do it via CLI, tell me! I can't fix it and I am afraid that if I go back to my old backup, update to RC33, it will come back!

getting really frustrated with this...im on a stock rc33 now and i still cant preview docs with html viewer through gmail....i have no idea what to do...i've reset the defaults and nothing?? does anyone have any other possible solutions?
thanks.

Still having the same problem.... I thought it was astro but it wasn't... what do we do?

Yeah, I don't even have Astro installed and it's having this problem. I have Linda File Manager and UnZip installed and that's about all I see that might be interfering...
Not only can I not view PDFs through Gmail, but I can't view any attachments at all.
I hope we find a fix for this...

Hey maybe it's Linda! I did have that installed a while back. I'm gonna do a nandroid backup and the reflash and see what happens.

Well I reflashed (finally got time) and the problem persists--- although I didn't install Linda. Astro is installed, but since you don't have it installed, it must be something else.
Very frustrating; it takes an hour to rebuild my phone (I could just re-flash the backup, but still) and I really want to see this problem resolved.

OKAY I FOUND WHAT CAUSES THE CRASH!!!!
It is an app called download crutch/download crutch lite.
It is a useful app, lets you download files from the browser that it might not recognize (ie zip files).
Anyways uninstall it, then delete the gmail storage/gmail settings from the app uninstaller--- then search for a .doc or .pdf file.
worked for me.
if you DO NOT have this app installed, then I have no idea. This worked for me on a clean install!!!
thanks

[Troubleshoot Discussion] all Android Market problems here!

i am coming across from a rooted G1, i had about 160 apps i have managed to get most restored with mybackpro but have had market issues since i first signed in.
Apps when downloading continue to show as downloading even after they are installed, is this just a syncing delay, I know I had this with my G1 at times when switching between roms and it usually fixed it self after a few days.
If this is the case is there anything I can do to try and fix this myself, its very annoying as the whole market is app is slow.

Error opening market.
Hi,
The Internet browser on my Galaxy S I9000 opens all web pages on both, GPRS and WiFi networks. However, the following applications give me errors-
1. Market - "Server unavailable. Please try again later". For both, GPRS and WiFi networks
2. Talk - It simply shuts down without showing any dialog box on both networks.
3. Maps, Gmail, Mail, Samsung Apps - Works only on WiFi and not GPRS
I do not have a 3G network in my region yet.
Since market doesn't open; I can not download anything.
Kindly guide me with this. I am more concerned about [1] and [2].
Thanks !

Market Fix JF2 not working
Hi,
I tried everything, but its not working. I changed the build.prop (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7309462&postcount=162) wiped the cache and app cache, but still not full app catalogue in the market...
Can anyone help me?

A lot of them do, some mess up but devs are usually fast in tweaking the app to work with froyo

Upgraded to JM2 and now certain market apps missing
Hi, i'm pretty sure i'm in the right section, anyway, I upgraded to firmware JM2 and now there seems to be the odd app missing in market, not specifically paid ones.
For example myplayer is not there, is there a fix available for this or has the app just dissapeared(could anyone verify?).
Many Thanks

[Q] Got a problem after install JPJG8 with root and lag+market fixed
After I have re-flashed my SSGS with JPJG8 then root and proceeded with lag and market fixed.
I can't open market..
1) When I open market 1st time - it will ask for my google account then close down
2) After that - when i open market again - it will show title bar "Android Market Terms of Service " with blank white screen
3) Then it start to blinks every 5 seconds but keep showing white screen and title bar <like the screen wiping from left to right>
>>> so I can't open market !!!
++ New problem found ++
I also cannot use mobile browser
-> when I try to open "Internet" the browser start to load then close immediately
PS. I try to do factory reset/ wipe cache .. but still not working!!

Looks like I may need to re-flash .. - -"

Do a reflash, and also if possible try to format both your internal and external sd card as well. Hope this works.

this happen again after I reflash .. root and do lag fixed ... so I will now go back to JM2

i think you should try that g00ndu said.

Market Problems? (13/08/10)
Okay so today I tried downloading some applications from the market but to no avail!
It says starting download but goes no furthur, I've factory reset the phone but still not working.
Anyone else experience this or any solutions to fix it?

Market Problem
Hey,
i can find all apps on Market but can't download any of them.
If i press install it says in German: "Download wird gestartet..." means more or less in english:"Download starting..." it gets stuck on this message.
I used JM2 and OneClick LagFix 2.0 market wasn't working. so i decided to reflash and don't use oneclick lagfix, but nothing.
Then i flashed JM5, bit it still doesn't work.
I also tried another googlemail account, but nothing..
Anyone has a idea? I can't even restore my backups, since i can't download titanium backup from market lol.

This has happened to me today too! Maybe it is problems with the market servers.. :/ Now I am stuck without any applications until it is fixed.

I have the exact same problem and i have also tried a factory reset, if i find a solution I will let you know.

Android Market: instant 'Download unsuccessful' message

Hi everyone,
I'm positing because I have a peculiar issue. I cannot download from the Android Market....and I have tried the solutions on the internet from clearing data/cache to trying to sync my google account in different ways...
Here is the background:
- Bought used Vibrant on craigslist
- rooted, unlocked, then unrooted, then hard reset
- no external SD card
After every hard reset, in two instances now, I have been able to download from Android market SUCCESFULLY for about a ~30 min window. After this time window, any download from Market does NOT work, and after clicking 'Install' immediately goes to the red triangle status 'Download unsuccessful.'
At all times, my internet still works fine, both on 2G/3G/wifi.
Android market website does NOT show my device (is this because the device only works with the very first sync when the phone was purchased??)
Something is locking me out from downloading. It's come to such a stupid workaround that since I know Market WILL work after a hard reset, I do a mass download of my app essentials in the ~30 minutes that I have.
Thanks for any help in advance!

Clear market cache
also, setting proper permissions on /data/ and /data/app might help (with a program like root explorer)

Do you use titanium backup? Restoring any setting? I got similar problem when I freeze "media container" in titanium backup.

Had this problem when z4mod was setting incorrect permissions on /system partition

All,
To avoid the issues with any roms/rooting, I unrooted the phone, as stated in the first post.
I basically got the phone back to 'stock' settings, and I have this issue. Any additional help would be great...this is my first experience with Android and it has only been headaches....
getting nostalgic with my old E71. haha

So, did you use odin to go to jfd?
I'm really interested and willing to help, just santo make sure I understand everything that you've done.
How did you root?
Why no external?

[Q] What to do when apps just stoped behave properly???

Hi guys ... I'm not sure, whether it's just me as a person or my NOOK, but with every new thing I try, I get something strange :
My apps (Market, Youtube, Opera) stopped working properly :
- market doesn't search any more
- Youtube wont start
- Opera starts, load it self and after 1 sec it just stops working/jumps to home screen.
What I did was changing the uImage from NST-kernel v0.1. Tried it but it seemed like that multitouch didn't work - just seemed - it did what was proved by angry birds that I've installed just to test it.
But since then NONE of those three apps mentioned above worked properly. Even when I restore my backup (that I did few weeks ago right after I've followed minimaltouch) ... this behaviour still continues. After deleting all the partitions and restoring the backup I still have the SAME PROBLEM ?!
How is that possible even after backup - and not changing the uImage again ??? What could have caused it ??? Any idea how to get rid of it ??? Thanks for any advice.
My NOOK is 1.1 - I didn't update to 1.1.2 yet.

Hi, are you shure you haden't this problems before? I'm also experiencing problems with the market search, so I use this app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.firezenk.msplus
Regarding Opera, how have you installed it? If it got installed by one of the rooting tools it is missing some libraries. Uninstall it and reinstall it directly from the market.
Regarding multitouch, have you edited "/etc/permissions/required_hardware.xml" like it is described in the thread?

Thank you for your fast response mali100.
1. now you made me unsure. As I did have "searchmarket" installed as well, but I'm fairly sure, that I've installed the ES file Explorer and Opera directly from the MARKET.
2. Directly from the market (I was using CWM minimal touch, which I think doesn't include Opera). Even after uninstalling and installing again from Market - the fault persist.
3. No, I didn't do this. I thought that after "arkusuma" changed the uImage, then it wasn't needed. But Angry Birds worked (zoom) - I'll do that in the next try as I did a factory reset and will go through the whole process(minTouch CWM) again to see, whether youtube will work !?!?!
Still it's a big mystery to me why this stayed like this after restoring ?!

I think the search issues may be related to googles changes to the market, now known as google play store. Market search worked for me, but I decided to make a clean start with 1.1.2 and used MinimalTouch and since then my Market doesn't search, but as mentioned before, this could be also the result of changes made by google.
The MinimalTouch I used had Opera Mobile integrated, and it showed the exact same behaviour that you described, but a reinstall solved this for me.
Mulitouch works on my device (and on at least on other from which I know) with my NST-kernel v0.1.

When things don't work, adb logcat is a good start.

adb logcat is a good start.

Would a logcat from an app running on the nook help as well ??? I still didn't get to ADB ... its one of my later homework after I'll format my laptop.

Besides the hassle of installing the Android SDK, ADB is easy.
I guess that you could write an app or script to capture the log but it's hardly worth the effort.
Things not starting will definitely show up in the log.
The intents system is fairly complicated.
Besides, when you do get ADB working you can test stuff like:
Code:
am start -d file:///sdcard/start.htm -t text/html

Well ... I did a lot of stuff :
1. unregistered the device / factory reset
2. apply minimal touch from the begging. As it is a 2 step process - in the first process Youtube works fine. But after the second process the first app I run was Youtube = NOT working. I've installed Opera and same problem ... just loads and as soon as it should picture the first welcome page, it turns back to HOME screen.
3. I got upset - use MiniTool Partition Wizard to wipe all the partitions, erased everything on the Nook by writing "0" through the whole nook ... and then write the backup image of my nook, when I first got it (untouched).
4. Used minimal touch again ... and YOUTUBE not working, Opera jumping to HOME screen ?!?!
How is this possible ??? Is it that by wiping the whole partitions and erasing the Nook there is still something that is not touched ??? (like when you have Swype, do a factory reset, then you can't type as you are missing keyboard ???)

uninstall opera and reinstall it from the market, or try opera mini.

Forgot to do that = worked for Opera Mobile ... Opera MINI will not load (but now I don't care with Mobile running)
Thanks Mali100 for repeated suggesting (reminding) of reinstalling. Thank you.
PS : Having found this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1553908&highlight=market+search) where RubenRybnik describes similar problems.

I had the same problem with youtube. I just uninstalled it and reinstalled it with adb push and now it works again.

hi all ,
I am also facing the same prob. My opera Mini starts and then crash ............
But I am able to make market search.
I uninstalled the OPERA and installed again many times, but nothing changed ..........
any solutions.......

Mini still doesn't work for me, but mobile does.
It is quite interesting that you can do the search on market ?! I'm wondering what you have different then the rest of us ?

Foreground apps crash with no errors

Hello
I have this problem. whenever I open play store and apply updates or install new apps, the play store crashes and the updates are interrupted until I re-open it and resume the update manually. This doesn't seem to happen when the updates are done in the background automatically without opening the store first. I have already tried uninstalling, deleting cache and data, reboot etc. but the problem persists.
I have the Samsung Galaxy note 3 SM-N9005 LTE version with rooted kitkat 4.4.2

I see that very few people have this very annoying issue
I just don't want to resort to factory reset. I mean I know it will probably fix it but I just don't feel like setting my phone up again from the start which is time consuming, besides, what would be the purpose of this wonderful community if all problems were solved by wiping up one's phone.
I was wondering if the cause could be some poor memory management or bad cleaning/anti-virus apps interfering with the memory management I mean I am a complete noob in terms of android management but I assume when there are multiple apps being downloaded/updated at the same time it must consume a great deal of resources but for an app to crash without even the popup message that says "....has stopped" I have never seen before

Maybe you try to get a appstore.apk, delete your's wipe Cache and then install the apk.
I would also recommend data wipe though cause with backup (I use titanium) it'll be less time consuming than everything else. Just backup user data and you won't have to set it up again. The thing is it's not guaranteed that the problem lies within playstore and since we don't have your phone in our hands it is nearly impossible to point you to the exact fix.

well... speaking of backup I also use titanium and nandroid, thank god for that because earlier I tried something stupid (suggested here on XDA though) I cleared the app store cache and data which is fine because I did it before with no problem but then I cleared the google services framework data/cache, I wish I hadn't because it literally messed everything up. I was unable to connect at all to the store even though I had a good network connection. thank god it worked again after I restored the app/data
I can live with that issue. it's not such a hassle since I usually check the play store for updates every day at least. but I may try your first suggestion though. thanks 4aces

As you wish b careful though. I think (definitely not 100% sure) you have to put the apk file in device/system/apk with es file Explorer or root Explorer and than put the permission to rw rr.
That's why I recommend full wipe.

thanks for the link. maybe I could try to update it as my version is 4.6.17 which is older than 4.8.19 and see if there is a change. One thing I don't understand is that one can only disable it and not uninstall it so does that mean it's a system app even though it's not in the /system/app folder? should I convert it to user app with titanium prior to update?

One more suggestion. Try to open application manager in settings and select all. Look for download manager and clear the cache then reboot.
If it doesn't help wait for other replies or wipe data will have to do the work.

I tried that but didn't help. then I tried to update and move to system, made it even worse as play store crashed as soon as I hit the update button. Reinstalling the app wouldn't help so I had to restore a nandroid backup. I'm giving up now but won't waste time doing a wipe data because it's not a real issue since I'm able to update anyway by hitting the button and close play store right after. All my apps still update in the background anyway
