[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 !

Existing adroid market app and android 2.2
Will the existing android market apps work with new froyo (android 2.2) after it's release?

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

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 !!!

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.

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.

Hey bestialbub, Also did the new update + your gapps update. Everything I used from market works great. One game "Crazy Snowboard" seems to have a ornamentation problem but I think that its a app problem because "Penguin Skiing" , a similar game, works fine. This Gapps update is a great alternative for people who want or need the OFW firmware updates from Elocity but don't want to wait for Dexter to update his mod's. Great work!!! I will be ending you a donation.
Recommendation for "gapps update:
Adding a backup and restore app like "Titanium Backup" as part of the gapps update so I don't have to reinstall from market every time I do a an update.
Recommendation for "Elocity updates:
Elocity needs to fix the way the sdcard is mounted. Sd card should be more compliant with android 2.2 standards. Right now system backups and apps are stored in "storage" folder. OFW updates and "wipe/data factory resets" reformat/destroys all data on that partition and there is no system option to backup to the sdcard (ie., sdcard-disk0.) This is a problem when you are providing all these OFW updates. I have to use a market(not included) provided app to backup my app and another app to move the folders from "storage" to sdcard. That makes no sense.

For some reason i dont have adobe flash and Asphalt 5 still cannot load these two option alone for me make me revert back to dexter mod...
just got off the phone with elocity and mention my gripe with this firmware
i mention to them about dexter and bestialbub who is helping us elocity owners, they guy there say only appoke a gapps apps will work with their firmware...

i believe i did see adobe flash listed in market for update/installation, which is going to be more updated than what would come preinstalled. otherwise i'll check to see if inserting gapps into the system image causes any initial setup problems, as the preinstalled adobe flash is installed on first boot, i think even to the user data partition, so this shouldnt be an issue.
all other non gapps issues are likely rom specific and still awaiting my inspection. recovery is next on the list.
regarding manufacture support or statement against software not supplied by them; they obviously wont support it. most manufactures would even recommend against it; except these new tablet manufacturers are skirting support and linking directly to xda forums for support; so they cant straight nay say solutions promoted here. they cant endorse them either.

I downloaded and installed flash 10.2 from market without any problems. Tested the installed version here http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/. "Asphalt 5" seems a little complicated to install right now but looks like a nice game. I might try it myself if I can get the files together.

After Firmware Update - Version 2.0134- NO PINCH TO ZOOM
Hello folks,
After Firmware Update - Version 2.0134- NO PINCH TO ZOOM, instead I have a useless handwriting option? Does anyone know how I can get my pinch to zoom working again?
Thanks

Anyone else having problems with Market?

I have a stock 10.1. When I try to open market it says client is out of date? Keeps saying it will update but never does? Any help?

You have to install a random apk to can go to My Apps.
There will be shown the Market Update under pending Installations.

I have a different problem with the Market. When I search the Market on my Tab, I often cannot find apps that I know are there. If I do the same search on my PC the apps show up.
Any idea why this is happening?

Have you an example?

Hello
There is solution: you have just to update manually Market 3.3.4

Can you post a step-by-step for us noobs?

Mine just updated itself when I went to the market one day, and it's full screen.

hello
Ou have to go to Google and tape android Mar et 3.4.4 . Apk download and install it
It's work very well for me

here you go:
multiupload/DC4KOTPPX0
complete with .com
download, transfer to tab, install..

Thanks got it working now.

Yuk, that's horrible. I now have Market 3.4.4 installed, which starts showing a bunch of large block adverts for apps. I much prefer the old TopPaid / TopFree / TopNew/ etc interface that was on Market bedore, how do I get back to that?
I tried 'uninstall updates' in the Applications menu, but although it said it would revert to the factory installed version of the app, Market has now vanished completely from the tablet. I think I need to get 1.1.0 back, but when I check the website version of market.android.com on my PC, it says it is already installed on my tablet and so won't let me do it again.
Andre

v3.4.4 did not work for me !! just kept cycling and finally said connection time out.However this is what worked
this is what worked for me..
install market version 3.3.12( yes, the one meant for phones)
>> it will say replace factory market
>> yes
>> install
>>once installed you should have two markets
>> select the one which u just installed
>>search for android market
>> and install the update meant for tab ie v 1.1.0
>> once completed
>> check in system> manage apps the version
>> if all is well and u have the updated version
>> go back to manage apps and open 3.3.12 version
>>uninstall updates of this> restore factory market>yes
>>unistall updates of 1.1.0 > restore factory market >yes
>>open the standard market and it should automatically update to the new version..
Been frust for a long time with market for not updating.. i know how u feel

As a matter of fact, I am facing some problems with market right now. Some programs simply won't update! I select the program in market, click update and even if there is a moving progress bar, the download most likely never starts. It's happening with my CM9 KANG 10.1 tab and also with my DrewGaren's ICY+ 4.0 Nexus S.
I'm willing to try the solution proposed by suttaroom on the Nexus S, but not sure about the P7500...

Jiayu S3 viruses?

Hello,
I am having through a major problem here. I am trying to figure how got into this and solve this problem.
I am new to android but generally and experienced user. Bought my Jiayu from vickmall pre-rooted about 4 months ago and realised that my phone if infected when random apps where installing themselves from time to time (once very two weeks eg.).
Generally I am installing Google apps only except Adway and a few other essential non google play apps.
Also I am careful with what I installed and most of apps ever download where legit (e.g facebook etc).
Thanks to SDMaid I found a virus SYSTEM app hidden from normal app explorer with the name "Pine" and package name org.slaughter.brilliant. The name itself got me very suspicious. I also noticed that "install from unknown sources" was automatically turned on each time I opening my Wifi or Data.
So I exported the apk and scanned through various online scanner giving me obviously that is harmful.
e.g anubis.iseclab org/?action=result&task_id=18ea3597ad6a61394e5335fefcbc86899&format=html
Un-installed it through SDMaid and then the nightmare came...
I am having numerous of app ads several times a day to the notifications bar or as a shortcut icons that go to google play. I see from time to time a toast says "Downloading" without having any visible result.
You realise that this is not as common as a rogue app can be, besides the fact I am acting like a paranoid at the moment ....
With SDMaid again through latest modified files I saw 3 files in the ES Explorer folder named "recomm" that had a list with all this spammy apps that I get notifications. I was quite upset and though that ES Explorer (quite known app I think) was packed with rogue apps!?. So I deleted it but nothing. Ads came again the other day.
I tried to see from what app came the ad notification "e.g Holo Launcer" by pressing the notification for a few secs. I saw that it came from trebuchet launcher...
I tried scanning my phone with avg,malwarebytes and kaspersky. I got something only with kaspersky the following file in a .kpsh folder (related to com.kpsh.sdk.KpshService of trebuchet?).
virustotal com/en/file/6871be33ba862c4594ffee60444f7cf296cb657e4f1384a27c1be6a5da0d7078/analysis/
Erased it but it seems to recreate itself again from time to time.
Also scanned trebuchet and settings app here and got these.
virustotal com/en/file/000f796f06f193f2e61eb007d374a06d3211ddb7e1facf3c386621e1f024b828/analysis/1442420388/
virustotal com/en/file/bbb2783fb9a2ad9aa94fc71d6b78179917e8669ec266cdd5758fd1e46f853bdf/analysis/1442420356/
I decided to erase the whole .kpsh folder to see if that solves the problem till now.
My mistake I believe is leaving "Unknown sources" on as it was by default and got to this mess without know what app did all this. I believe that I was going to get a warning before something got installed but unfortunately...no.
I don't know if this was prepacked or something or was totally my mistake somehow but I am slowly giving hope away.
Any suggestion would be very helpful.
Reflash the whole thing is my very very last option since I am not familiar with the process.
Thank you all for the time reading this.

Hi,
I've experienced exactly the same problem a couple of days ago. I used the Addons Detector-app to find out that the Trebuchet-app was responsible for the icon and message ads. Unfortunately it was part of the default apps and couldn't be deleted via the apps manager.
I first installed the Nova Launcher-app as a replacement for the Trebuchet Launcher 3
and activated it (Apps -> Start Page). Then I stopped the Trebuchet app, installed the Root Uninstaller-app, enabled the request of root access (Security Superuser), started the Root Uninstaller-app, chose System Apps and selected the Trebuchet Launcher-app. After pressing the delete button and confirming the root access the app was moved to the waste basket. That's it!

I found that "install from unknown sources" was several times enabled again without my action. AVG antivirus detected ap. "Education" and "Settings" ? as malware. I have frozen "Education" - it cant't uninstall, and after that unknown sources does not change it's status..

Find com.android.fallen if exists in system\app and delete it (use file explorer with root).

Same thing here but recently I got very tired and did "reflash the whole thing".
Ingredients were: Smart Phone Flash Tool, the right USB driver, a lot of RTFM and the latest 5.1.1 Beta (#4) from Jiayu Germany. Even though it is beta, I already prefer it over that bugged OS it came with.
Edit: Forgot to mention that I checked the beta #4 at virustotal, no probs!

Decided to flash to jiayu germany 5.1.1 beta 10. I managed to get the rom but the flashing tutorial I found is in german.
Do you have instructions of backup/reflash/recover or whatever in English please?

Use SP Flash Tool on your computer. If you come from KK (such as perhaps your stock ROM) and go to to LP (such as the Beta10 ROM) then it is important to choose 'firmware upgrade' in SP Flash Tool. That's because partition layout changed (LP has one extra partition, not sure what it is for). Once on LP you can choose 'download' to flash further LP upgrades. To backup/recover a ROM one typically uses a custom recovery (mostly TWRP on S3). Beta10 comes prepackaged with LP partition aware TWRP. Beta10 also has GApps, so there is no need to flash GApps on top of it.

It's a bit hard to remember my odyssey though webspace back then but I bookmarked some stuff... but here is a pretty decent recipe: some link*
The SP Flash tool was fairly easy but to use get the drivers running was problem. Tried some things without success and got lucky with the same site: some other link**
Altogether:
1. Get SP Flash tool and the right USB driver and make it work (eg. ADB driver)
2. Get the ROM
3. Choose the ".scatter"-file in SP Flash tool and flash
It's some weeks now and I also vaguely remember that the phone had to be off (well, not really sure but you'll see).
! Don't forget to check any downloaded at least with virustotal - I did that back then but the DL-links might have changed.
!! Use it at your own risk! Some kittens might get killed, or even worse: your gets bricked.
* and ** Alas, my apologies, I am not allowed yet to post links but if you google for androidxda sp flash you should find it instantly or just let me know.

Okay, I'm probably a little late for this, but hopefully this will be somewhat helpful to other people having the same problem.
I myself have purchased a Jiayu S3 Advanced a few months back: while the price is hard to beat, it comes with that ROM that sometimes starts installing "random" apps on its own. At first it was bearable, but at some point it started downloading multiple apps every day.
After some analysis (pretty much looking for data usage by different apps) I figured that the problem was with the Trebuchet launcher (which was the only app in that list that I didn't recall using - and also, why would it need Internet access?).
So, what I've done was rather straightforward: install Google Now launcher (but any other launcher should do), uninstall that other launcher. Worked like a charm!
Also, I've heard a few people complaining about this sort of problem with Chinese smartphones: watch out and consider that next time you buy a new smartphone! I know I will

Latest Wechat not working in ppgraded Samsung y s5360 to Lollipop

Hi,
I have a Samsung Y S5360 (which I like a lot) and Wechat was insisting too much on updating to its latest version, for which I had to upgrade to a newest ROM, so I got Lollipop (just that was a log process for me, as I'm not an expert, but I'm learning a lot the last days). Anyway, so I am installing apps now and I have some issues that's not making it so easy.
1. I'm in China so I have no access to Play Google. Also installing downloaded apps from the SD card has only worked until now for Link2SD and Superuser, all other apps I tried to install that way get parsing error.
So, I'm getting apps from Baidu and Chinese apps provider. My Chinese reading is less than okay, so I kind of follow by instinct, which is possible, that way I've installed already Pleco, and another couple of apps successfully. Except for Airdroid, and Wechat.
2. The problem with Airdroid is that I could get a 2.something version but not the latest 3.something, and as I tried to get it, even from Airdroid web, it's not working.
3. The problem with wechat, which is way more important to me than Airdroid, is that I get to install an old version, but still newer than the one I used to have when I was on Gingerbread. One strange thing that happened is that the look of it though wasn't the same as the new style of wechat but as the Wechat of a year or so ago. Strange. ... Besides that, then the most relevant issue is that once installed the old version I get the message to update it, once the update is downloaded and installed, I opened it and I only get to see the opening image (the earth and the guy) and that's it, it stops.
I tried installing the latest version from some of the Chinese providers of apps, but it happens the same. It's installed, and it's opening, I see the earth and the guy, and then off to the screen of icons in android.
I've tried to uninstall and install, wiping cache in between. Didn't worked. I tried redoing the process of installing the ROM all over again. Didn't work. I tried to leave Wechat in the phone, and not move it to the SD Card. Didn't work. I tried kissing the phone, and chanting some Hawaiian healing songs. Didn't work.
Here I am, at the end of the day, trying another way, I kind of believe the force is with XDA devs
