Apps Hang and dont donwload from Market

I am having this problem recently. I try to download any app or an update to any app. It will just sit at starting download and never download.
I am on Fresh ROM 1.0
I did update some apps after installing the ROM so that's not the problem.
I also have a problem that if I clear the cache, when I reboot Everything force and keeps force closing forever. Whats up with that? isn't the cache supposed to recompile on reboot?
I tried clearing the cache to fix the market issue to no avail (beacuse of all the force closes never got to see what happened after clearing cache). I tried clearing the cache from recovery and using Fresh's app installer,and both times tons of force closes.
Someone please HELP!

U probably need to login to gtalk. I had the same problem from using autostarts. Jus open the gtalk app, it will/should sign u in automatically.

this is not a gtalk issue. gtalk is not even related to what problem he has. i had it happen to me on my eris when i was playing around in the bootloader. when i started back up everything force closed and would not start. only sugetion i can give you on the force close it is a factory reset or ruu reset both will work. as far as downloads not starting are you rooted?

Yes, to install a custom ROM you need to be rooted. Tried the gtalk sing in to fix the Market issue and no dice. Still hanguing...
Anything else??

So I'm not going to call you out or something, but please read before you speak. Gtalk is MAJORLY tied in to the market and it is a documented fix from google themselves to try signing in to gtalk to fix stalled downloads.
Even though it doesn't work for everyone (depending on the reason it's stalled) it IS related.

Hundreds (maybe thousands?) of posts. Starting back in March and dating all the way until today. Google hasn't been able to resolve the issue. I can tell you that what has always worked for me is a combination of cancel download > disable wifi > disable mobile data > enable mobile data > try download again.
Didn't work? Reboot and repeat. Eventually it will go......

Thanks a lot flipz. I'll try that

95% of the time your second sugestion works. it may be that gtalk has major issues with stalled downloads but ussually i have this issue when i start my download over wifi for some reason it just never connect to the google server but when i kill the download and connect over 3G or Edge it works everytime on my G1. that's been a documented fix too. this issue only happens more frequently on custom roms than stock android roms. so it's more of a rom issue that googe issue. we're all here to help each other not trash talk each other. from my point of veiw gtalk may have some type of issue but it's more with the rom cooks than the app itself and it's not their fault either gtalk was desighned to work on googles cookie cutter os not on the home brew roms so errors happen you just have to know how to sweat talk your andoid to doing things when issues happen. the problem i had with your post was you only stated the gtalk issue when the wifi issue is more prevelent. i wasn't sure if he was on stock os or custom os so i asked about it. then i would have given him the instructions on turning off the the wifi, killing the downloads, and restarting the phone. like you told him to in the second post cause that seem to work better than the gtalk method.

I stated clearly on my first post I am on Fresh 1.0 ROM, so everyone would know I was on a custom ROM.

sorry. i did not read your post clearly thought when you said fresh you ment fresh install. haven't really been keeping up with the hero roms to much and thier names still waiting for my eris to get it's turn at root. when i saw your post it just reminded me of how my rooted G1 would not start downloads over wifi. so i asked rooted or not just to be on the safe side.
the thing that got me a little heated was when he said "not to call you out" then he goes into a trist about how wifi seems to be the better fix.
by the way did you get your problem fixxed?

(Ok,fair enough it can be confusing when i wrote fresh; no worries).
About my problem: Not at all man, I tried every single one of the fixes and no luck. I am thinking about going back to stock and reflashing the custom ROM. I'll report back if/when/how it gets fixed

I ended up factory resetting and now everything downloads normally

So... apps were downloading perfect from market UNTIL I restored a nandroid backup. Afterwards, Apps hang again. I mean exactly after restoring, went to the market and the problem is there again. Can the problem be tied to restoring backups? Or just coincidence?
Update:
Got the downloads working after clearing the cache of every single google application on the phone as well as IM.
After this, started downloading the app and it still hung. Opened gtalk and exactly as it signed in it started downloading fine.
I tried the afore mentioned fixes and had no luck, so for anyone who has this issue and has not been able to resolve it, this is another workaround.

Just FYI to anyone still with problems, I had problems again today EXACTLY after restoring a backup again.
This post I quoted by Zippy-man did the trick today Great Help..

Root and Lag Fix Problem

Ok, so I rooted my phone yesterday via "one-click root" and worked like a charm. I deleted alot of bloatware and used info in a thread here in the forums as far as what to remove (Kindle, MobiTV, Amazon Mp3, etc But I also wanted to do a lag fix. I came across a guy that had a lag fix that I wouldn't have to use a pc for that was just a update.zip file that I would install. I followed his YouTube video step by step and had NO problem all the way up until I rebooted my phone. When I did so, my boot animation disappeared and my phone went BLACK! I contacted him and he had me clear user data and sd files and clear cache from the recovery screen. Now when I try and start my phone everything boots up but when I get to my homescreen I can't stop getting Force Closes and this is what the messages say:
----------
Sorry!
The process android.process.media has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. dumpstate_app_201008310134_android_process_media.log has been saved. Use *#9900# to copy out log.
----------
AND when I try to open the Web it says:
----------
Sorry!
The application Web (processcom.android.browser) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. dumpstate_app_201008310147_com_android_browser.log has been saved. Use *#9900# to copy out log.
----------
And same for Gmail App when I try to open it.
And they won't stop popping up. Barely long enough for me to open ANY apps.
I don't know much about rooting yet but I know I probably need to re-install firmware or something that includes ALL the bloatware including the apps I removed with my Root Manager. I just need advice or a solution or something because its deffinatly making me mad!
Thanks for all your help!
Kyle

i had that exact same thing happen to me, but that was when i tried to revert back to non-lag fix. something errored out during the uninstall and i got exactly what you got, a ton of fc's. my solution was i flashed my phone back to factor stock using odin.
probably other solutions, but i chose the cleanest route, maybe not quickest.

Not sure if you would have enough time but you could try Fix Permissions on the Rom Manager app if you have it. If not you could try ADB pushing the APK and maybe you could open it before all the FC's. I have had that help before, but like said above quickest and easiest will just be to start over. Apply the lag fix first this time (you were probably already thinking this ) they seem to work better that way without any of these problems. For me at least

I have no idea where to start! I am brand new to this rooting stuff so I am LOST! REALLY lost! What is the first step for me? Do you know of anyone who can walk me through this?

It appears that more than one lag fix was applied. Start from a clean rom and start again.

[Q] com.google.process.gapps force close EVO

Question, Im getting alot of "com.google.process.gapps" force closes on my EVO since I restored a few apps thru Titanium Backup. I rooted about a week ago and never had any issues with this. The only apps that I restored was angry birds and a to-do-list app along with all the data that came with the apps. I have tried cleaning caches and restarting the phone and nothing seems to work... what would you suggest? I seen a few threads when i searched - but they were for the G1 and the Captivate, nothing for the EVO... any help would be appriciated...
TIA
JS3

Did u flash any Rom or Theme??

nope, I rooted and am still using the stock ROM... I was going to flash Frost or some thing, but I want to make sure this doesnt carry over to the flashed ROM, or if there is a fix...I would prefere to fix it...
I am also getting a force close on the phone process.... when some one calls me and I ignore the call it force closes the process for the phone as well...

Try reinstalling the gapps.apk. One of them must of been corrupted by the data you restored.

do you know where I can find that at? I have never heard of it...

Also the thing that is confusing, is I can still access my market, maps, latitude, people, gmail... etc
If the apk or files were corrupted, I wouldnt be able to access those apps... i will try to reinstall the apk, but I would like to know what I did to make this error happen, so I know not to do it again...

one thing I think it could have been was there were two "people" files in my Titanium Back up... One was up near the top it said "People 1.00" and then there was one near the bottom with a line thru it that said "People 1.1.1" or some thing to that effect... I deleted the one at the bottom with the line thru it cause I thought I didnt need it any more... could this be wahts up with this error?
I can still access People thru the People widget, but some times it takes abnormally longer to load my list of contacts...
I can also still access Market, Gmail, Maps, Latitude...
I just clciked on Talk and it seems to be the problem, every time I click Talk it brings up the force close issue...
should I just reinstall the Talk.apk?
I also get "com.android.phone" force close when I decline a call...
when I went into my ROM manager, I clicked the "fix permissions" and it says "error occurred while attempting to run privlaged commands"
Any info on any of this would be great...

Anyone out there
Sent from my EVO while tethered into the Matrix thru Wifi...

Okay well I have googled/searched XDA 'til I was green in the face... I still can't figure out how to fix this issue?
Just answer me this, If I do an entire factory reset - will I loose root?
I have wiped the cache thru recovery, Should I try wiping the delvic-cache also, before I factory reset to see if that works??
I can not find any where to download the "gapps.apk" anywhere, I found this one thread that told me to install these in this order:
1. TalkProvider.apk
2. GTalkService.apk
3. Talk.apk
but none of them worked... they wouldnt even install... it just kept saying install failed...so I found another thread with the 2.2 gtalk and it installed...but Im still getting the error...
I have been getting several other errors, like htc.bgp force close (or some thing like that) as well as com.android.phone force close...
So should I just do a NAND restore or should I do a factory reset instead? OR should I run the RUU and start over to root...??
I am at wits end here and am not getting anywhere with searching...
TIA

I would start with a NAND restore. (Hopefully you have one from before the problem started)
If that doesn't fix it, do a factory reset.
If that doesn't fix it, Factory reset and instal a custom ROM (Sprint Lovers is very close to stock if that's what you like)
I don't think running an RUU is necessary. Once you obtain full Root, you should be able to fix any problem with .apk's or programs on the phone.

Thanks for the input, I was beginning to think I was invisible... lol... I will try that and see what happens...

Well, I went ahead and tried one more thing before I did what you said to do and I think it worked... I went into my EVO while in Disk Drive mode and I cut my entire Titanium Backup folder out of the phone and copied it onto my Desk top. Then I went into my OLD EVO files from the end of the year and I copied the latest folder into my phone. I then went to Charge only, clicked TB and refreshed the app list... Then I was left with a ton of apps that were not installed on my phone. I then went thru each one and restored the ones that were still installed and deleted the ones that were not... (except for the stock apps that came with the phone), so far so good... I will test it more tonight and see whats up, have not gotten any force closes since I finished...
One thing I would like to know tho - where can I get the stock dialer.apk
Some how it got deleted off my new EVO and when I try to load up one of the htc.dialer.apk from my old EVO - the new one does not recognize it... I am currently useing "dialer one" from the market - but I would prefere to make my NAND back up of the Official stock ROM with all the stock apps...any ideas?
EDIT: Okay, fixed the com.google.process.apps issue but did not fix the other force closes... I guess I will have to try the steps above - and worse case - ill just run the RUU and start all over...

I had this problem once and it was related to a widget I downloaded that retrieved missed calls. Don't know if that helps.

But thats the thing - I didnt download anything - I restored two apps, one was opera mini with data and the other was spareparts... then I lost my htc dialer - so I installed Dialer one from the market... I dunno Im just gonna have to do the stpes above and if they dont work - Ill just wipe and run RUU and reroot... no biggie...

Okay I did a NAND restore... then I went thru and set up ALL my apps and settings again and then I did a fresh NAND Backup with clockwork first AND then Amon_Ra... all seemed well except, after I did the Clockwork Backup... I was getting "com.smithmicro.DM has stopped unexpectedly" so searched and read a little and it seemed to have some thing to do with the PRL/Profile updater... so i went into the settings and opened the app manager and cleared the "data" in com.smithmicro.DM and then I restarted the phone and that seemed to fix it... thanks for all the help...

[Q] Everything force closing

Hey everyone,
I'm on ACS (frozen Syndicate) ROM. Its working pretty good for me. However today I've a problem as described http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=947409 here.
Everything keeps force closing. (I've tried clearing data for swype, messsaging, google framework -- everything which was showing fc)
The thing I installed just before this happening -- simple calendar widget and used it.
Any ideas (I would like to avoid re-flashing at least for next 2/3 days) ?

Boot into CWM and try fixing permissions. Worked for me.

I've been using it for a while didn't have any problem.
However why do you exactly mean by
try fixing permissions.

Cool seems like its been fixed
Thanks a lot
I'll try simple calendar widget again and use of firefox will let u know if that issue can be recreated.

No problem.

Help, lost market updating Civato mix from c3 to c6.

I just updated Civato's c3 mix to c6. I did not do a full wipe reset ( I didn't want to reinstall everything) and have lost Market. I downloaded the vending.apk linked in his rom section and installed rebooted.
Still nothing.
Everything else works fine so far. I just keep getting "no application installed".
Other than reinstalling with a reset wipe, any ideas on fixing my mistake?
Thank You

Interesting. Just yesterday I had issues with my Phones Market app. Force Closes after it started. So I downloaded and installed the new market app. Here's where it got interesting.
Not sure if I deleted the old on the first attempt, or before the second attempt, but when I finished, I selected Market from the launcher "no application found". So I uninstalled all market apps. Installed the new, and from the launcher "no application installed" again! Checked my "apps" and the market icon worked! Had to delet the old icon from my launcher, and drop the new one there.
So my guess, is uninstall the old before installing the new. Remove all traces of it.

I did fix it.
I tried the Civato fix of renaming vending.apk and dlding another placing it in system/app and rebooting. No luck. I tried installing the app manually and received the "no application found" warning.
Luckily I had one sitting in Titanium backup. It reinstalled an older version and I did have to delete the old icon.
Just strange that it would not install the way it should.

Yeah, I remember reading about it in that roms thread. Seems to be a rom specific issue with it. Glad you're up and running.

I know and sorry for the trouble , it has got something to do with the 3.1.6 and 3.2 Market. If you install that version it is hard to revert back to the original A500 market (1.0.28) without doing a full wipe.
I posted it on my thread , that it is better to stay with old market , make a NANdroid backup and then flash the rom with new marked to check it out if you like it.
I'm really sorry for your trouble , I didn't notice the problem myself until I tried to revert back to the Old market.
I think all the roms with New (leaked) 3.2 market will have the same problem if you want to revert back to the old market. A full wipe or a titanium backup is the only solution then.

I've only had my A500 for a couple of weeks, but I've already tried quite a few ROM's since then, and the funny thing is, 75% of the time, there's a market issue! Dunno if it's just me or what. It typically only happens with the ICS market leak. Maybe some devices just don't like it. But anyway, I seem to have come up with a universal fix that has worked every time I've tried it. I just posted about it here. Basically, what you're doing is completely removing the market and all traces left behind, rebooting, injecting the 3.1.6 market, and rebooting again. It's almost too easy

Thanks and yep , I think it is some problem the way 3.2 market (leaked version) is intigrated into the system , on the full ICS 4.0 there will be no problem I guess but on HC3.2 it got some problems.
Edit:
The A500 uses a market simular like the website android market , it is intigrated into the system , I did a test , even when I delete the vending apk and marketupdater apk in the rom before flashing it , it still installs the 1.0.28version and I think that there it goes wrong when you install a other Market version and then try to go back.
I stick with the 1.0.28 version on the A500 , I think this web-layout is the more clearer one , 2.3.6 is ok but 3.1.5 and up to 3.2 got to small fonts and icons for me and is good for phones but not tablets in my opinion , the only good in those new versions is the rotation where the 1.028 only got horizontal view.

Don't be so hard on yourself. You have the nerve to give people new roms to play with. Nothings perfect and will always have minor issues we learn to work around. Just keep doing your thing. Believe me, people appreciate it more than you know

No need to apologize. I read the instructions and tried it anyway.
I'm very happy with your rom so thank you for all the time and effort.
I'm using Thors kernel and have no complaints.
We only learn from our mistakes and this was a very minor lesson.
I just discovered I have the "Error purchasing" problem.
Any ideas on a fix? I cleared cache no luck.
Thank You

go to the android market with Google webbrowser. Market acount settings .Make sure your device isn't hidden in menu.
Try downloading and installing true android market from the webpage and see if your tablet starts installing the picked app. If it doesn't. Your tablet is hidden in menu of the devices and you need to change that in your market account settings.

Fixed it, fingers crossed.
I tried to uninstall it from Titanium Backup and received the message that Finsky.apk would uninstall.
Since I was not certain which version of Vending.apk and Finsky.apk were on the tablet, I pulled them both from Thors 10 rom.
I then did the usual, rename the old ones, copy the new ones, force stop, clear cache and data, delete account, reboot, login, create new account.
Works fine now.
Are Vending.apk and Finsky.apk linked in some way? Previously I tried different versions of just Vending.apk and had either the error purchasing or fc when checking my apps.
Thank You

Well it seems to be that the finsky.apk is linked.
Thanks for the info.

It is linked - I have noticed this before. But check my last post on the first page. It's not necessarily required for the market to run (at least, with version 3.x) because I have removed it entirely. By removing all traces of the market (finsky.apk, vending.apk, and clearing cache) a fresh market apk can be pasted into /system/app with the permissions set to rx-r--r-- and it should run just fine.
Another thing which apparently works (who knows why) is going to Android settings, and selecting your language (even though it's already selected) and then running the market again. Not sure if that applies to tablets, but I remember having to do it with my phone on certain ROM's & market versions.
