I bought my wife a new Epic 4G and she has been having problems downloading from the Marketplace. It seems to be a 3G,4G problem. Even Wifi doesn't start right away, yet does seem faster starting than 3g/4g. It does finally work after about 10 minutes. I know it is a phone problem, not a 3G/4g or Wifi problem, because I have an EVO, and at the same time downloading from the market with the EPIC, the EVO has no problems at all. I do notice once it has downloaded the first item, it seems fine for the rest of the day. The 3g was active before my wife went to the Market to download stuff. She had already received her email, so the connection was there.
Is anyone else having problems downloading from the Marketplace on 3G/4G or even wifi? If so, how do I fix the problem. I do have the latest update installed and it still didn't fix the problem.
The Epic seems to have some issue with logging into Gtalk randomly. I have experienced downloads that wouldn't start myself. Simply opening gtalk will log you in (most of the time) and the download will start almost instantly.

Missing Apps
Same issue here. Many Paid and free apps are missing. Bad deal since I need the phone for work and now I can't get my TouchDown Exchange Client working because it lost the key I paid for on the Market

For me it is not the issue where the download fails to start (though I have seen that too). This issue is that the apps are "not found" on the market place.
NOTE: I can see the apps from my EVO just fine, just not on the EPIC.
Evo is on froyo isn't it? Mabye they are protected apps and won't been seen unless you are running a phone with Froyo. Unless google hasnt registered I18 as a approved build yet.

Interesting... I notice that if I install(ed) a ROM (in this case Epic_Experience_v1.1.3) the apps are missing.
If I wipe the phone and restore a nandroid from a few days ago the apps show up.
Not sure what that means, but at least I can get back to using my email. Still learning all this ROM, Root, Kernel stuff.

I concur with these findings. I'm running Epic Experience 1.1.3 and if I search Market I can _not_ see such popular FREE apps such as Fandango, Where and Google Places Directory.
No idea why..

There have been several threads about this issue. Google has to take action in the Market to recognize the DI18 firmware as legitimate. (Perhaps Sprint has to take action to goose Google into taking action.)
This same problem occurred for several days after the last update.
See this post earlier at xda.
yeah this is pissing me off considering it all worked just a day ago...
I had my Epic rooted ever since I got it....the last few days it got sluggish and got bricked. I got it back to stock tonight and I can't upload apps either. I'm on the version ending in "7" when I went back to stock...if anyone can offer tips that is reading this would be greatly appreciated!!!
im getting annoyed by this GTalk sign in issue... not only I use gtalk alot but also market won't work without it.
I noticed I get signed off and loose connection almost every time I make/receive a call. Or sometimes just randomly.
Hey have you tried this?? I just did this below....
****UPDATE 4 hours later*******
so after screwing with everything I could possibly (clearing cache, resetting phone, rebooting countless times, etc) I logged out then back in to TALK using my gmail account and VOILA! everything downloaded.
first off, I'm running stock EC05, rooted
Problem:
yesterday my Epic started jumping to the pause screen while I was playing Collapse! which I had gotten off of the Amazon App market, at first I thought it might be the hardware fault when the back button presses automatically, but it wasn't as it continued to do it without the haptic feedback or blinking, so I ruled that out and tried reinstalling
unfortunately it continued, so I though it might be a bad download that needs an update on the market, so I uninstalled and decided to play Robot Unicorn Attack which I got off the Android Marketplace, however it does the same thing, right in the middle of gameplay, it will jump to the pause screen
so now I thought it might be some other app that I updated that is causing some kind of interference with the system, so I uninstalled all apps that had been updated or installed over the past 2 or 3 days, the problems remains
I tried Fruit Ninja from that Amazon App Store as well, same problem, I'm really not sure what is wrong as there had been no problems with any of the games before yesterday, I also did a scan for malware just for kicks but nothing showed up
when I tired searching for people with similar problems, the closest I found was someone who was having what seemed like an identical problem on a Galaxy S Tab, any help that doesn't require a complete rom flash would be awesome
thanks!

The only thing I can suggest is going into Clockwork and clearing data and Dalvik cache. Sounds like some data corruption somewhere if you are running stock with no overclocking or undervolting which usually causes this kind of behavior.
Are you running an overclocked kernel? I have a similar problem with Words With Friends whenever I'm running an overclocked kernel. If I disable overclocking and reboot, the problem goes away.

His OP said he was running stock. Switch to Word feud, you can overclock all you want and still run Adfree.

I will give it a shot and let you know how it goes
question though, can I restore anything from my Titanium Backup? or would that just bring the problem back once it was restored?

Was it OK when you did the backup? If so you can certainly try. Just to clarify you are on full stock, just rooted?

I'm at sprint right now returning a completely stock refurb they gave me. Apps are randomly opening and backing out of themselves

Our G tab has been with us for about 6 months and was great. It was all stock, not rooted, and worked fine.
Suddenly, after doing the 2.3 OTA it started to force close any and everything and very often. I did a hard reset, thinking there was a corruption and maybe that would help. Reloaded some of the applications and then it started to force close again.
So, i thought I could root it and install the Galaxy Cubed 3 Rom, and i did.
I'm back at the same problem, force closes constantly on many apps, often apps that your not actively using. Facebook is un useable, Google maps that is never really used keeps coming up as force close, and just all sorts of random programs keep popping up as force close.
Can this be a hardware related issue? I'm not sure what to try from this point.
Help!

If you are having the same issue across multiple ROMs, it's probably hardware.
It's still in warranty, put the stock ROM on it and have it exchanged.
When you call for support, just yes them and pretend to do what they say.

I reloaded the cubed Rom last night and it than great for the hour or so while setting it up. Played on FB for a bit. Today it was with my wife and she was excited that it was doing good, but in the last 5 minutes it force closed on one thing 3 times:
Android.process.acore
So, for now it is not closing all kinds of random items, just android. Can you think of why this would be force closing?
Sent from my HTC Thunderbolt 4G using Tapatalk.
I would still suggest getting it repaired/replaced on warranty. Acore is a very important part of Android and shouldnt be getting force closes let alone regular ones.
Yes, last night while I was using it, acore would FC market back to back, as in about 5 seconds between. I would power off, restart, and in 10 minutes it would come back.

Glad there is here!
I am in the same boat with both my wife's 7" VZW tab and my own. We both took the OTA 2.3.5 update and within hours started to experience FC errors. My wife's tab is stock (she has never let me mess with it ) Mine was rooted but otherwise stock at the time of the OTA. Her's has continued to have random FC. I have flashed back to stock 2.2 with ODIN and re-taken the OTA 2.3.5 only to have the same FC start up again after a few hours. I have also tried just about every other ROM on this board trying to come up with something that would work with no luck. I am beginning to think that contacting Samsung for both of our tabs is a good idea. Anyone else find anything that works?
I just posted (on xda) the many fixes for this issue that i found online. I have the Sprint Samsung Tab, just started on its own. The most popular answer that i found, but didnt work for me, is clearing your contacts cache. Many members from various forums suspect it has something to do with contacts, sync and facebook. So clear your cache.

Just to update on my tablet... I got a warranty reticent replacement from VZW and it immediately vegan to also FC on us. I called vzw and the level 2 tech asked me to remove the memory card and do a complete wipe. he said that there is no way that 2 tablets are doing the same thing with the force closes, and he thinks that I carried some corruption over from within the SD card.
I removed the card, went to recovery and wiped, rebooted and have been running it with no memory card for 3 days. I'm still force closing, but not nearly as much.
Facebook is currently the midst constant of the force closes. Often, she goes to open FB and it never actually opens, it starts to open and then force closes.
Android Acorn is not coming up as a force close since this non SD card wipe.
Gmail is still force closing often, but not near as often as FB.
She will be playing her word games and it still well pop up the various force close errors on gmail and FB repeatedly even though she is not actively in those programs.
My wife wants to beat me about the neck and face area with her tablet at this point. She wants to give up on it and go get a nexus, but we can't sale a Galaxy Tab that is acting like this. Im considering buying out her $230 ETF and closing that line, then reopen it to get her the nexus. What is a husband to do?

so lately, the last week or two i've been getting alot(basically constantly...) launcher freezes/force close, on both the stock and nova launcher. I've cleared cache on both, multiple reboots cleared data and updated nova once with no real long term fix. I am completely stock/unrooted with .30 firmware. Has anyone else had anything like this and what if anything worked to fix it? or any ideas what is causing it? thanks.

It's been a bug that makes the launcher not respond since 2 updates ago for me. I keep hitting wait when the fc box shows up and of course if you it wait, the launcher doesn't show back up. I'm rooted but still on stock. I've been waiting for a stable jb rom to switch to because Asus seems to ignore this problem.
good to know...one more reason against my shrinking list of reasons why i haven't unlocked yet...
I tried to search, but didn't find anything that matched my problem. Also, I'm not sure if this belongs in the RMA shipping status thread, so please move this there if it does, mods.
My Nexus 4 has been constantly crashing once I got the 4.2.2 update. Sometimes it would crash after a while in my pocket, sometimes it will crash just sitting there on the table. I have no clue what is going on as I've never dropped it, no water, no damage to it at all. Does anyone else have this problem? Should I try to get a replacement? Thanks for the help guys
Did you try rebooting your phone or factory reset, because if it happened after you updated to 4.2.2 it's software problem not a hardware problem

Yes, I tried that, but it didn't help. I don't know whether or not it happened because of the update because it's just started crashing this past week. The phone's crashed at least 5 times in the last week. I said it started after the 4.2.2 update because it's never crashed while on 4.2.1 but I was able to run 4.2.2 up til now without crashes.
Re-flash the factory image.

I've done that to no avail. I'll continue to use it for another week or so, and if I experience anymore crashes, I may call up Google for an RMA
Same here, I never had any crashes on 4.2/4.2.1 now (since 4.2.2 update) I frequently have crashes/locks...
Non-rooted, everything stock, rev 10, phone bought day one.
What sorry of crashes are you having? Doors it just randomly reboot, does it lock up, or something else?

After the update to 4.2.2, my (rather extreme) UV stopped being stable and i began to have crashes very often. Do you have it UVed at all? If not, maybe try OV a bit???
Good luck

If you did re-flash factory image and it's still crashing than that's a good reason for RMA, hopefully you've owened the phone for less than 14 days because if you owened it for more than 14 days they will redirect you to LG and thier repair process sucks
I'd say quality flash back to stock is your best option.
I know you've done that. But have you done the manual method via fastboot?
All else RMA time... LG repair process isn't that bad. Just take pictures of you packing your device up for proof

Nexus 4 crashing all the time
Hi,
Got my N4 yesterday. Booted it up, it updated itself to 4.2.2, loaded up my saved apps, started playing with it. Opened Chrome, the thing crashed and restarted. Ok, started playing again, went into settings, the thing crashed again. This went on and on yesterday. Chrome, Twitter, settings, Currents, whatever. Crash, crash, crash.
So, today I restored factory settings. Tried using it without any 3rd party apps. It crashed when I was in chrome. Then it crashed when I was in settings. So it's not about 3rd party apps, I thought. So I then installed Twitter and indeed it crashed.
So I don't know what to do now. I got this shipped to my parents in the UK but I'm in Ireland. Maybe it's got UK GSM settings? Maybe it's hardware? Maybe I should try rooting it and trying another ROM?
Any help / advice greatly appreciated.
