I'm on the latest cm7 nightly, default kernel. For the past week or so, I've been suddenly getting Watchdog alerts for Amazon's Appstore - maybe like once or twice daily. I use Watchdog to kill the App, but it has been repeatedly occurring. It happens even when I haven't opened Amazon's Appstore since the last alert. I've tried wiping cache/dalvik cache and fixing permissions. Anyone else getting this?
Yup, I'm getting the same thing. I'm CM7.1 stable though. I think it started happening to me after an Amazon Appstore update but I'm not sure. If you find or have found a solution let me know.

It's most likely the App Store pinging the Amazon server checking for updates.
It's crazy though because I'm getting CPU usage greater than 50%. It must just be a quick hit because I'm sure if it was went on for an extended period of time my battery would be toast. That still seems like rather high CPU usage just to check for an update though, right?

I ended up uninstalling the app, and then reinstalling from scratch directly from the amazon website (entering my name/pw stuff again instead of restoring via tbu or anything like that). Since then, no more alerts.
Cool, thanks for the tip. Trying it now.

Has Amazon app store stayed on the downlow with cpu usage for you since uninstalling/reinstalling? I haven't tried that yet, and watchdog will flag it for high cpu usage, even at night when my phone on the bedside table with the clock app running...
No, it had happened a couple more times since my op. Uninstalling and reinstalling only seems to work for a while. So I ended up just making a backup of the appstore in titanium right after a fresh install of the app. Then if it acts up, I just uninstall and restore via titanium.

When I rebooted my phone this morning, it was essentially back to factory settings. The start-up wizard came up. All my shortcuts and widgets were back to the default and none of my apps were working.
Signing in to my google account seemed to restore most stuff. And the market still had a list of all the apps I'd installed, even if they were no longer installed. I had to uninstall and reinstall everything. Had to reset up the email app, twitter, facebook etc. SD card contents were still there.
Just to be clear, the apps weren't actually installed, they just appeared to be in the market.
This was just turning my phone on in the morning - I see no point in having it switched on all night!
Any idea what happened or why or whether it's likely to happen again??
I am sure some would like to help, however, your post is lacking many critical details:
1. Are you rooted?
2. What ROM are you on?
3. Did you install anything new or update anything yesterday?
Details, we're not magicians (ok, maybe some of the Dev's here are)...
sorry, bit of a noob!
i am not rooted, i have a stock nexus one running 2.1.1
last new thing i installed was a few days ago - a geocaching app. had normal behaviour with that installed for those few days. also have installed other updates for various apps.

No biggie, Look around at people's sigs and see how they are set up, gives much information without having to post it all the time.
As for the issue, not sure, never had this issue nor have I heard of it.
My Fascinate is rooted properly
Since then, I've installed SetCPU and Titanium Backup from the market...
Shortly after, my phone stopped being able to Download Apps from the Market...
So I uninstalled both programs
The Market says "Currently Downloading" but the Taskbar never shows it happening, and the little download bar in the App spins for a while and just stops.
I even left a simple game downloading overnight to no avail
I also tried clearing all the caches- download manager, market, etc...
Help!
Try canceling your downloads, logging into Talk, then trying again? Or cancel downloads, reboot, log into google Talk, then open Market

having the same prob
I had the same problem. Clearing all the cache and data for market and google apps worked for me.Though a google search has revealed results may vary.

This happens to me and many many people ALL THE TIME. The worst part is that there is never one reason why this happens or one fix. You just have to be lucky. I AM GETTING SICK AND TIRED OF THIS HAPPENING TO ME AND EVERYONE ELSE. Hopefully when froyo comes or something it will not happen anymore.
what does google talk do?

@billypunk81 That is a quick google for an answer.
And in the future please use the general forum for any and all questions. Unless you are developing something don't start a thread here.
Also give this a read.
good day.
I had same issue and nothing helped. I froze 'Market' and 'Market Updater' from Titanuim then thawed both right away. Started working after that.
Check and make sure Background Data is on. Maybe it got turned off somehow.
Try removing the 2.2 Market if you have it installed. That's what did it for me.
I ran into this situation when I mistakingly restored the 2.2 Market after flashing jt's clean ROM. To solve this, I removed Vendor.apk and reflashed jt's clean ROM. That fixed things for me.
Hey all,
Just curious to know...those using Amazon's Appstore for Android, is it still working well? Mine started force closing after the most recent update.
The other day it got an update that worked fine, recently it got another and I can no longer go into "My Apps" as it keeps force closing.
I've tried clearing data and clearing cache but it keeps happening. The next step is to uninstall and re-install.
I'm running 100% stock (no root, etc.).
Update:
I got antsy and decided that I would uninstall it. The reason I didn't before writing this is I thought it would remove all the apps I installed using the Amazon appstore.
No more problem. After uninstalling and reinstalling the appstore I haven't gotten a single force close. Peculiar, since I though clearing the cache and data would be synonymous to an uninstall. Anyway, this has fixed it. And just to note, in case anyone else was wondering, uninstalling the Amazon appstore does NOT remove the apps you've installed, it simply locks them from running. Once you put it back, everything is back to normal.
Mine is having the same problem.

I guess I was updating my post while you were posting this.
Clear Data, Clear Cache (just in case) and then uninstall the appstore and reinstall it. That's fixed it for me and all is well now.
I get tons of ads, all of a sudden. Sometimes my phone wakes up on it's own with an ad. Any solutions?

Maybe the notification log would show what app is causing them depending on the type of ads they are. Create home screen widget>settings>notification log. Safest bet would probably be to flash the factory image though.

That just happened on my daughters moto G4. Most times clearing data on Chrome fixes the problem. But this time didn't matter still getting obnoxious vibration and audio messages. I completely wiped the phone including internal and flashed factory image. But I'm sure a factory reset should suffice .
Stop watching porn.......
Most likely it's an app you just installed.
One thing I learned is never install apps outside of playstore and maybe Apkmirror. I installed a rogue app from uptodown and would get ads all the time anywhere. Luckily I was able to just uninstall the app but sometimes the apps might get hidden. The you would most likely have to family factory reset.
Hi folks,
I've got a stock 6013, fully up to date on Android 10, never rooted or anything, and suddenly the Gmail app started crashing. Every time I would open it, it would crash within a second. At first I thought it was just that app. I wiped storage for Gmail, and things seemed back to normal. Then I noticed certain other apps... but ONLY CERTAIN APPS... started doing the same thing. Wiping their storage restored them. Even going into the Google Search bar results in a crash within a second or two.
It's not a hardware fault... I just finished a half an hour of Angry Birds 2 ( ) with no problems. But now Gmail is acting up again. Tapatalk was a problem once, but clearing its storage restored it and it seems stable.
Anybody else seeing very weird repeated app crashes that happen within a second or so of starting said app?
Marc
I'm having the exact same problem. This started 4-5 hours ago. Before noon PDT, a game I was playing worked fine, but by 1pm, I saw the same symptoms. Gmail is also crashing for me, as well as Oxygen Updater and the Amazon Shopping app.
Clear system cache.
Try using factory load for gmail and Google Play Services. Clear the latter's data.
Delete Google account and recreate if the above doesn't work.
Google Play Services is probably the culprit.

Thanks. Did that and went through https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/9037938?hl=en as well. Once that was done, uninstalling and reinstalling the offending apps seems to get them working. It was definitely Google Play Services throwing a huge tantrum. I haven't messed with Gmail yet, but Pocket Casts and Amazon shopping are back up after uninstall/reinstall. Thanks!

Doesn't hurt anything to clear Google Play Services data, I do it weekly.
I also package block it except as needed like for Gmail.
Disable Google Firebase if you don't use it; data miner and a resource hog.

Not good
I rarely update OS's anymore, even with app updates I keep backup copies of the older version(s) if needed.
Since Q, Google has been on a downward spiral with Android. I'm not impressed.
As long as I have a fast, stable platform that fullfills its mission, I leave it be.
Even a malware forced factory reset be less time consuming then trying to adapt to Google's concept of "improvement".
Thanks folks. It was the issue @meowingtv cited. Last night I found a temporary fix was to roll back the Android System Web Viewer app, which I did. This morning I saw the all-clear that it was ok to re-update it and Chrome at the same time. All good now, but this was a SERIOUS CLUSTER.
