Market Issues

I've been running EI22 since the first OTA day and I now have an interesting issue. I've tried stock, deodexed, and ACS 3.5 and had no issues. But I switched back to the latest deodexed stock rom and now my market won't update. I can't clear the cache or user data in the applications menu either.
Wouldn't be a big deal but it keeps giving me a network error when I try to go to my apps from the market screen.
Anyone know a fix short of reflashing?

Try using Titanium Backup to clear Market data and also in Google Services Framework. Then with 3G on (icon in notification bar) connect to Market (making sure you signed into Gmail the first time). It should connect. If not make sure your ROM didn't delete the SprintAndroidExtensions and Sprint_updater apks.

Thanks kenny. Clearing the data in Titanium Backup worked. Still took a bit of dirty talk and a few ugly looks to get the market to update though.

[Q] Package File is Invalid

Hi, a couple of days ago I started getting this error when installing apps. At the beginning it was only a couple of apps that didn't work but it got worse and now no apps work at all. I've done EVERYTHING to fix this, the only thing that works is using a VPN to change my location, that is it.
What I've done:
-Cleared google play store data
-Removed google account and re-entered it
-Factory reset including system then re-installed the ROM
-Switched between 4 different ROMs
-Tried all kernels too
1.Stock 4.3 google edition
2.Battery King v.5 TW ROM Android 4.2.2
3. CM 10.2 Android 4.3
4. JSS15J Pure AOSP ROM Android 4.3
I live in Canada and when i change my location and IP Adress with Hideninja VPN I can install any apps. The only problem is now I can't even get that app and when i could my download speed was Extremely slow.
Anyone in Canada or anywhere else got this problem randomly a couple days ago?

[Q] Unable to restore S Health data since Kit-Kat update

Greetings All,
I’ve run across a problem restoring all my S Health data since the update to Kit Kat. I wanted to do a factory reset after getting the 4.4.2 update last week, since I had something that was draining the battery…it was down to 50% at noon then 30% after I get home from work with very light use. I figured it might have been some app that I had installed that was draining the battery since I had the battery drain issue on 4.3 as well.
I have lots of S Health data stored since I got the phone last year and I didn’t want to lose it. The S Health app was doing the regular auto-backups. But, before doing the factory reset I did a manual backup from within the app. I did the factory reset and then went back to the S Heath app and signed in with my samsung account.
When I went to restore the data, I keep getting an error (screenshot attached) that says:
Restoration Failed
Restoration is not possible because current version is low​
The S Health app shows to be on version 2.5.0.66, is this the right version on 4.4.2? Checking from within the app doesn’t show any updates available.
I don’t recall the app version before I did the factory reset, but I don’t remember it getting updated since I did the backup or after the factory reset.
Anyone else have a problem restoring the S Health data after the update to 4.4.2? I don’t remember having this error before on 4.3. I’ve restored the data on earlier versions of Jelly Bean a few times and didn’t have a problem.
I’ve talked to samsung about it, they had me clear the caches for the app, which didn’t help.
Has anyone else seen this error before and if so, did you find a way to restore the S Health data?
I have a backup of the phone in Kies from about a week ago, but I didn’t see anything about restoring the S Heath data, on the S memo data.
Thank you kindly,
Chris

I have same problem

Same problem here. I tried just about everything and couldn't get it to restore. Eventually just gave up and restarted the auto backup, which cleared my previously backed up data. Oh well. Looks like Samsung messed up the ability to restore from backups made before the 4.4.2 update. I hate to say it, but it looks like you might be screwed unless Samsung fixes this and pushes an update out.
On another note, I had similar battery drain when I updated, which was why I also did a factory reset and lost my S Health data as well. The factory reset didn't fix the battery drain, but I disabled sync for some Google services that I don't use, and my battery life is significantly better. I'd try that if you are still suffering from bad battery life.

You might try pulling the app from an MK2 rom. Uninstalling the new one and installing old. Restore data and then update or install new apk. I don't use this app ... so I'm not sure. If it's still a problem maybe I will do some digging.

I have the same problem also.
I tried a second factory reset and still can't get my data to restore.

Greetings,
I'm wondering if this is just a bug in 4.4.2 since I did the backup from 4.4.2 and attempted to restore from the same rom. The only difference is I did a factory reset before I attempted the restore. I'm wondering if I can root and flash back to a previous 4.3 rom and restore s-health, then backup using titanium, flash 4.4.2 then restore from titanium? I've not had any problems restoring the backups before on any of the previous stock roms. I'm also tempted to create another samsung account and try saving and restoring a backup of the S-Health data to test to see if the restore even works at all.
The error message is somewhat ambivalent on which is the lower version, the data or the app?
On a side note, does anyone know of a good pedometer app that at least has the ability to do a local backup of data? I really like having the history of my travels. I like the ability to just turn it on and have it logging in the background.
I may also give samsung support another go and/or post in the sprint s4 support forum to see if anyone's having the same problem.
Thank you kindly,
Chris

Any solutions?

How typical.
S-Note Documents from Samsung Note 10.1 with Android 4.1.2 don't transfer over to the Note 3 and Note 10.1 with S-Note and Android 4.3
Given yet another example, we know this is not even an isolated problem.
Samsung's software is intended to be nothing more than a tech demo without actual customer usability in mind.

Greetings,
No luck so far. I've pretty much given up hope of ever recovering the data. I've posted about the problem on the sprint community S4 forum. They were helpful, but ultimately no luck. One person says the version should be 2.5.5, but my phone only has 2.5.4 with no update showing up. I've talked with Samsung and they say that I do indeed have the current version.
What version of the SHealth app do you guys have? Did you get an update to it after the 4.4.2 update? In case this helps, I do see that the Kies 3 finally supports backing up the SHealth data now without having to rely on backing up to the "cloud" thru the SHealth app.
I've done a test backup and restore from the shealth app and it did work. I'm not sure what could have happened before, perhaps just a glitch that prevented the restore from occurring.
That's where I am at this point. I'm leery at this point to rely on the in app backup/restore process since I lost all the data going back to May of last year when I got the phone. I'm definitely going to rely on alternative backup methods. I've rooted and will use Titanium Backup to keep a good backup going forward.
It would be interesting to see if everyone has the same version of the SHealth app. Again, I'm on a sprint SPH-L720 NAE kit-kat.
That's all I have for now.
Thanks,
Chris

BTW, do you have the Galaxy Gear?
I was wondering if it is syncing to the Walking Mate instead of the Exercise Mate.

This worked for me as well. I went through the setup after pretty much writing off all the data I've been collecting the past few months and was very surprised when it informed me that an update was available (even though I couldn't find it in the samsung apps store). Updated to the latest version, then the restore worked perfectly!

I just reset my Verizon Galaxy S4 after some time running with the Android 4.4.2 update. I was using the online data backup option through my Samsung account. The stock android 4.4.2 ROM comes S Health version 2.5.4.154 in it. I attempted to restore my data from the Samsung cloud but it failed saying there was a "network error." I could not find the Samsung Galaxy App store after the update so I followed this a droid life guide called "download: Samsung Apps Store With Access to Photo Editor, Wallet, and Others for the Verizon Galaxy S3" and installed the latest Galaxy Apps apk right from Samsung. After getting Galaxy Apps installed I logged into my Samsung account opened the store and clicked on purchases which detected that S Health needed to update. So I update S Health to 3.5.1.0693 and open it and it says I need to update HealthService to the latest (2.0.0.009) which I did. After launching the app it asked me if I wanted to restore my data which I said yes and it proceeded act like it was restoring it. It turns out it just nuked my data rather than restore it. It seems like I am SOL, unless you can get a previous version of your backup from Samsung. Anybody have any ideas? It really sucks because it was more than a year of data.

[Q] HELP! Galaxy S4 on MF3 | Play Store Crash

Hey, everytime I open my Google Play Store (which I had to get from the internet) it opens for a while, until I try to download something and then is crashes. After it crashes by trying to download something and I try to re-open it, it just crashes on startup and I get a message saying "Unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped." So this has been happening since yesterday when I used Clean Master to clear up some space on my device, I also link some apps to play using Titanium Backup (don't know if that has anything to do with it) and I attempted to uninstall Google+, and was successful also I applied a custom patch to the Play Store when it worked using lucky patcher. I searched everywhere on the internet and the only solutions i could find are:
1) Clear Play Store and Google Play Services Caches.
2) Enable Download Manager (Which I can't seem to find but I'm not entirely sure on that one so I'll post screenies)
The download manager shown in the screen cap below has no enable or disable option with it)
3) Wipe Android Device completely (Which I did and problem still persisted)
4) Re-Flash ROM. (Which I also did and the problem still continues
So, Im on a completely stock firmware and as soon as I finish going through the setup process feeling relieved I see a notification in my notification shade from the calendar app stating that Google Play Services isn't enabled or something and when I click on the notification the phone fumbles for a second and then the calendar app crashes. After a few minutes, while I was searching for answers, I got my email notifications and everything seemed to be fine. UNTIL I installed the Google Play Store once again, only to have it open and my first attempt to download an app made it crash. And now I'm back to square one. I cannot find "Download Manager" at the bottom of my application list. But I do have two applications under "D" in the App Manager, both called "Downloads".
I'm able to install APKs off the browser just by downloading and installing as normal, and my accounts seem to be working fine. Except the error in the google account "sync error" followed by a message at the bottom of the screen saying sync services are currently unavailable. I'm able to use Youtube and other apps easily without a problem. The only problem is my Play Store. And yes I've already re-cleared the cache and even just cleared the data from both play services and play store in application manager. Problem still persists.
Previous Errors:
1) Device is not provisioned data services error (Which I assume I've fixed because I don't get that error anymore)
2) Google Play Services not supported by your device. (Whenever I opened Youtube, but that doesn't appear anymore)
I'm really out of options this time, I was stumped after I factory restored with ODIN successfully and still was unable to fix my problem. Could this be a Google problem or am I screwed? Really need answers, so THANK YOU VERY MUCH in advance.

New problem
Okay so I decided to wipe the phone once more and re-install the ROM (Which is a stock MF3 ROM that I got from XDA) and the problem still continues, I've been up all night trying to figure this out. Now apps like Google+ (Which I hade to install from the internet on my device) say that the Google Play Services on my device is not supported by my device? What does this mean? It used to happen with the newest version of youtube, now im currently using the old version of youtube which has no problem, and im pretty sure if i were to update it id get the same error. Someone pelase give me some insight. What can possibly be done?

You used all files in the full MF3 Odin? I don't know why it wouldn't work, but your only option may be updating to MK2. It's a very peculiar issue. You could also wipe data in stock recovery and then flash the Odin file to make sure it's as clear as possible.

FIXED IT
After much searching for the problem I gave up and decided to try reloading the stock OS once more and it worked that time... I still have no idea what caused the problem...

Similar issue
Did you ever figure out what the problem was? I'm haing a similar issue with NI1. I'm using titanium backup to restore many of my apps and don't know if it's something I'm doing there that's causing the problem to keep coming back.
I've reloaded stock rom via Safestrap at least twice. But the problem is still there. I can't be certain but i think it may have to do with the syncing of contacts or data with google.

You could always try to reflash the gapps package... If you freeze a part of the gapps package like google services framework, other apps seem to not want to work.

By any chance do you have a proxy set on your APN's? Jot it down and erase it, including the port number.
If you have normal internet working - then it must be a problem APN-wise.
You can isolate it down to the hosts file, but if you use apps like Adfree or ad blocking software, then it really eliminates it down to your APN settings. For ad blocking software to work, proxy and port number must be removed. Try placing a proxy back if it's gone.

Thanks for the answer.
I have no clue what to do reading and rereading your post...
It's too technical

Update
This happens only when i press the refresh button on the widget. And only on mobile data.

Solved by wipe data.
However this wiped all sdcard contents
Really bad.
The wipe data also fixed a problem I had with delivery reports not working.
Although enabled both on stock app and gosms.
But but but...
...after some days the delivery reports again stopped working.
So please I have read one million posts about this delivery report issue.
Can you help and suggest any fixes?
Thanks

I also have the problem with the SMS delivery report.
Still don't know how to fix?

No luck no fix yet.
What device you have?
Android version?
I have gosms and mightytext apps that may be messing
Do you have any of those apps?
Only by diagnosis we may reach something

My device is N9005, stock 4.3.
I don't have GoSMS nor mightytext app, but I have installed HushSMS and also the its Xposed module.
I'm not sure if it may cause the 'SMS delivery report' problem. Tried to uninstall HushSMS and its Xposed module but the problem still persist.
I think factory reset may help (as I don't have the problem when I first bought the phone), but I don't want to factory reset

Factory reset will not help
For me it fixed it for a couple of days only

Nobody jumps into this thread
Which means that from millions of note 3 devices we are just a few with this issue ?

Most people don't have the sms delivery report enabled.
(the majority of western-world mobile users doesn't use sms altogether anymore.)
Check with your service provider, there may be a network related issue.
And does the problem also persist if after a reset you don't install any apps, particularly sms ones?

It worked after factory reset until I enabled mightytext app.
The app was restored with titanium backup but not set up yet.
After I set it up and used it then no delivery reports anymore
Coincidence? who knows
Of course I uninstalled mightytext but the delivery reports still were not working
