Hi guys,
My phone today just decided to not show me Top Paid apps/games in the Market place anymore. I haven't rooted or unlocked yet so no idea why the sudden change. I've tried clear market cache, reboot etc but no change.
Anybody have an idea why this has suddenly happened please?
Thankyou!
Mine has been doing this for a week now. It happens randomly and I have yet to understand why it is doing this.
If you are using marketenabler, try to fake another carrier. Worked for me a couple of times. (The second post came from t-mobile in the US so I guess it's something else... anyway, it worked for me a couple of times)
where are you located, do you have a sim in your phone and did you change any settings before vthis happened?
Mine did not start this til about the third day I had my phone. Never had any issue like this til I got my N1. Now it seems that for about a half day, every day i get the message "No matching content in android Market" under the Top paid apps tab.
I am having the same problem.

Hi everyone I preordered on the first day and I got one of the first batches I guess. Well up until a few days ago everything went well with the phone. But 2 days ago i put my phone in my pocket at work and 4 hours later I pull it out during lunch break and my phone was completely erased. It went back to stock asking for me to enter my google account. At first i thought that launcher pro was closed and i was back at the original home screen but everything was actually erased. I couldn't believe it. I never had this happen on any of my previous phones.. So I reinstalled everything and the same thing happened the next day but this time my phone was on and launcher pro kept force closing and it was stuck in a loop. Then i went to reboot and the phone was completely erased again. Is this apart of that rootkit chip that i have been hearing about? I havent even tried the temp root. When I think about it i have just started using launcher pro a few days ago. Could that be the problem? For now I wont use launcher pro and see what happens and I will keep yall updated. And thanks for any help that you can provide.
LAWL.... and the NAND strikes back.... if it happens consistently thatn it might be time to exchange for another oner
That happened to me once too. I also thought it might have been an adw launcher issue. Ive been back to the standard launcher for about a week now without any issues, but I dont really know if that was the problem
I don't know if Launcher Pro might be the problem. That was probably the first thing I installed when I received the phone. I haven't had this happened to me and I'm using the Visionary temp root.
ok so far since i dont have launcher pro installed everything is working fine no reboots today from what i can tell.
I had the same exact problem. I go to sleep, wake up to look at my phone to send a text.. and all of my text are removed. This happened yesterday, I was soo mad I contacted Tmobile and they told me some stupid stuff like get a sms backup.. I just paid 300 dollars for a phone, which was no problem, but we as customers shouldn't have to backup our text every 2 days.. that is redic to me. I am the type of person that likes to keep my LOGS of my text so I really like having them there even from my old G1 3 years ago I try to keep them. old pictures that girls send me via text I want to keep that.... and keep in mind I don't use launcher pro just because of the problems i've been hearing it has. SO this happened on a Stock, never tried the temp root tmobile G2. crazy huh? and I don't have insurance on it, so I am kinda put in a bad position. ANy suggestions? it's past my 14 days. Keep in mind I REALLY love this phone though, just that was too much for me. I don't want to go to sleep and wake up with every text removed ever again. Oh and I get random reboots.. prolly 2 a day. HOpfully this update I am hearing about from androidspin will stop all those problems.. is it me or does the G2 seem to have worst reception than the G1? sorry for the long message, just wanted to vent to other G2 users.. I love the phone though, best phone ever if working correctly
Try waking with no software on your phone. That happen 36 hours after getting the phone. Did a recovery and everything came back With the exception of all my personal stuff. Funny thing is whatever happened In the middle of the night fried my sim. Everything is good now going on 2 weeks. I absolutely love this phone.

I've had the phone for a few months, only used it for 2 weeks then put it back in the box with plans to resell it. Dad needed a new phone for his job so i decided to give it to him and every day for the past week ive gotten at least one phone call from him with problems. He is extremely new to smart phones but I never had a single issue with this phone prior to giving it to him. For some reason he will receive text messages or voice mail and sees the notification icons up on the notification bar but when he goes to pull the bar down it does nothing. The only way to resolve this issue is to restart the phone then all of a sudden the pull-down starts to function as it should. The phone is completely stock out the box i didn't feel the need to touch anything or have to root it for any reason.
He had to go to AT&T to get a sim card for it and the people there basically wanted to run him out of the store and not even touch the phone because they do not sell it so not a single person wanted to even help him out even though he just dropped more money into their pockets by upgrading his plan to a smart phone plan. before i gave him the phone all i did was a factory reset to wipe out any of my data on the phone so it was clean and like new for him.
Im at a loss because the whole time i used the phone i had no issues and since the day he got it he has had nothing but problems. I chalked this up to user error but its not because when he gave it to me to see if i could figure out why things were acting weird the only thing i could think to do was restart the phone. Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this may be happening and/or how to go about fixing it and not making him regret ever having to get a smart phone much less this N4?
New paragraph!
What messaging apps are you using? You could always download the toolkit and flash the stock factory image again.
I would try another factory reset just to make sure things didn't go haywire during the reset you already did. I have had a bad reset with a phone before.

yeah im gonna have to get with my dad and fool with the phone more. Its hard to troubleshoot something when he lives 45mins away and calls me with problems while im at work.
ONCE AGAIN the whole phone is stock so that would lead me to believe that the stock messaging app is being used. I will talk him through doing a reset again and see how that works out for him. From what he told me the only app hes even installed outside of everything that comes on the phone was Map Quest, which i told him he shouldn't need because Google Maps is already loaded on. So first im going to have him uninstall that from the phone as well as from his downloaded apps list in the play store and see if that changes anything.
Hi
I got 2 of these phones a month ago.
The one has done a factory reset twice in the last 3 days. The phone just turns off by itself and when I turn it on the Android setup wizard starts up and all my apps, photos etc is gone. I took it back to the store and the guy said 4 other people has the same problem and he doesn't have a solution. The phone is not rooted.
Android version 4.1.2
Software version P71310b-ZAF-XX
Please let me know if you have any suggestions, I'm wasting all my data reinstalling my apps.

I have had two Note 4's but both were on kitkat. One I handed down to my son, and the other I had rooted and running great, but it got stolen out of my car on Christmas Eve. I ordered a brand new 910C and received it yesterday. When I started it I noticed it was running 5.1.1, but no biggie. Basically all I have done with it was restore my messages and contacts through samsung, and was having it re-install all the google apps I wanted to keep. It wanted to install a 95mb update, but I kept telling it no as I didn't have time to research what this update was. I hadn't done anything yet with the phone, it was just downloading google apps. I went to bed, plugged it into the charger, and was lying there reading an article on the internet app. The phone then froze and rebooted. After that, every time it re-started, it would start up then freeze. I tried to get to erase data through the software thinking it downloaded a bad app and I would start again, but it was freezing before I could do it. So then I went into the up arrow, home, power menu. If I was slow in that part, after so many seconds, the phone would freeze. It seems like it may be a hard ware issue freezing after so many seconds. I then was quick about it and first did a erase cache, no luck, then I did a full factory re-set. Now if I try to boot, it just freezes at the Galaxy Note 4 splash screen. Is there anything I can do to fix this, or did I just happen to get a lemon and need to send it back? I would appreciate any timely responses you can give so I can figure out if I need to contact the company I bought the phone from. Thank you everyone.
