i have no idea what happened or why but the market now is offically broken for me.
it thinks my 32gb iconia that i got from amazon is from another country and its not.
i installed a COM_GEN1 stock rom, not an EMEA or what ever rom.
i am listed as USA in all settings.
nothing on the market will install as it keeps saying my tab is from another country.
everything was working fine... what the **** is going on.. holy crap i cant tell you how frustrating this is and i will file a complaint with amazon and my local BBB if this stupid company is selling iconia 32gb tabs as usa models when they are not.
someone help please i have searched everywhere and cant find an answer
i did look around on the google support sites and there are alot of people reporting this in the last 2 months and some from the Acer transformer and only 1 guy said he switched google accounts and it went away.
i have tried multiple accounts and even made sure my info on that account was set up for USA.
i live in iowa for pete's sake... it was working damn it.
It's not about the hardware (although you can check the box and you'll see which country it's listed). This is a bug. I also had the same problem and it's up to Google to fix it.
My market results were in everything but English and nothing helped. You'll just have to live with it. The problem disappeared however after a few weeks.
Keep in mind that I flashed a US rom on my tablet (I'm from Europe and the tablet came with German rom) and some descriptions were still in Russian which is nowhere near me.
thank you sir!
and i wont just live with it because nothing installs or updates and i cant even search for anything.
and now because i flashed back to stock i dont even have the ability to root or install recovery.
i am trying to find a link to iconia root and acer recovery installer that i can email my self and download via the tablet so i can atleast read the **** on my sd card.
since there was no file explorer in the stock rom i flashed.
If you need the apk's, Why don't you look in the Iconia Root and Acer Recovery Installer threads, then?
Or better yet, get one of the 3.1 OTA ROMS listed in the dev section, they don't require root or CWM, and install one of those? That should restore your market function.
i got iconia root. i had saved a copy on my PC but the acer recovery program is a market program, not something that is available via threads here
floatingfatman - how will a 3.1 rom fix an issue that is unfixable by hardware or firmware...
please be sure to read my post so you know that i already did that.
this isnt isnt just me there are a good number of posts about it on the google market support threads.... just no fix.
google did respond to my support ticket and tried telling me i have some filter applied on my Iconia market App that is stopping the installs and search results.
my reply was "WRONG" how does a filter make the market think i am not in the USA....
i told the guy to please read my email and my issue before just given me a blanket response that has nothing to do with my issue.
@OP: My problem was fixed after a few weeks. I don't know how much exactly but the thing that messed up my device was that I used a wifi spot in another country while I was on vacation. I didn't even have the list of the apps that were already installed on my device.
It's a serious bug and I even opened a post about it but all my search indicated that it will go away or I'll have to live with it. It sucks I agree but we can't fix it since it something to do with google market.
Some people also reported that disabling the location settings (the settings that determines your location via wifi or GPS you'll find it) and wiping Market cache afterwards would fix it but that didn't work for me.
ok finally got recovery installer downloaded and installed and doing a back up now, then will restore my last backup which had everything in it that i currently was trying to download.
thanks for the help guys.
but unfortunately this still doesnt fix the market issue i am having so we will see what happens.
@bpivk - yeah i did all that and nothing happened. even a complete format and flashing of a stock unrooted rom didnt help.
its all on google, its nothign to do with me, acer or anything.
i think it started when they started rolling out the new market to all the phones.
this issue started for me before my Samsung PHONE got the new market but anyways. just something i realized.
Try this:
Settings-Applications
Google Service Framework - Force Stop and clear data
Market - Force stop and clear cache
Reboot and give it a shot.

Works great thank you for the work. Also wondering about the advanced calling feature, but thanks for everything so far.
Advanced/Video calling
I'm having issues with advanced calling on this ROM as well. I was not able to get it working on BOD5, so perhaps it is the same issue. Any new input?
Great, but no Side load apps
You can side load apps on the original BOE build, but after installing the MODS_V2, you can side load anything. It does not allow you to click on the install button, bottom right hand of the screen
---------------
Edit:
This Version of the BOE build does not allow you to side load apps

Restarting with alarm.
I'm also having issues with the phone restarting at times when my alarm is alarming. I noticed this same issue on your BOC4 build, but didn't mention it because I updated to your BOD5 build. I didn't have this issue on the BOD5 build. I believe the issue is related to themes. I used your themes on BOC4 and BOE1, but not on BOD5, which may be the reason why I never experienced the concern in BOD5. I'm using Alarm Clock Plus, if that is helpful at all. I'm going to dirty flash the BOE1 ROM without themes and see if that fixes the concern. I'd love to use your themes if possible, but it isn't a deal-breaker.
Dirty flashing the ROM without theming appears to have solved the issue.

Does anyone else have any issues with app updates not staying updated? After I update my apps and reset the phone, it takes forever to reboot, and it optimizes the same number of apps. When the phone finally boots back up, it tells me that those same apps need to be updated. I had this issue in the past, maybe on OC4, but I never found the cause. I am not themed anymore, so it isn't related to my theme issues.
Deleting the apps and reinstalling them does not fix the issue. I did backup the apps with TiBu, delete them, reinstall them from the play store, then restore data only. I'll give it a shot without restoring any data this time.
Deleting the apps and reinstalling them without restoring data did not work either. Also, I updated the play store using Aptoide, and that update sticks, but it did not fix the problem. The other apps appear to stick when updating with Aptoide, but it still shows them as needing to be updated in the play store.

I had the same issue. After trying everything, I whiped and re-flashed the rom and everything has been working great since.
volume warning
Any chance of getting a volume warning mod, hate those.
straight talk
call straight talk and have them reset your data access, I've had to do this almost every flash of a rom but once you get your rom good, make sure the network mode is in lte/cdma not global. I've had good data for a while now with the kinks worked out, but you have to call straight talk to reset.
Fingerprint lock screen
nice rom, thou it looks like fingerprint lockscreen is broken. It just sticks to "swipe" to unlock when you set it to use fingerprint unlock.
Try flashing muniz_ri's g900v ROM first to get advanced calling working. That contains an actual image of the system partition, so you might have more luck.
Updates not sticking semi-fix.

I figured out what causes the symptoms, but I'm not sure what causes the actual issue. I wiped the "system only," and re-flashed the ROM, but that didn't fix it. After doing some reading on other devices, I looked in the /data/app folder and found multiple apps had multiple data folders. The only apps with multiple folders were the ones that would not keep the updates after restart. There was a separate folder for every time I attempted to update the app, some as high as 15 folders. That explained why my storage space plummeted recently lol. I deleted all the duplicate folders and kept only the most recent folders, then the updates stuck after reboot! I had another occasion where the same occurrence happened, but I knew how to fix it at that point. I didn't like the thought of it possibly continuing to do this, so I backed everything up, did a factory reset today, and restored all my apps and data. I had a few updates afterwards, all of them are sticking after reboot, and I don't have any duplicate folders.
Bottom line: The issue lies in the user data partition, not in the system. Re-flashing or wiping the system will NOT fix this.
I don't know the actual cause of the duplicate folders being created in the first place. Other threads for other devices have mentioned similar issues and some have stated that odex files in the /data/app folder cause the issue. Maybe jrkruse can explain, because I'm baffled.
Hello, I updated to latest 5 android and now my lte doesn't work, I'm in russia now, but it worked on 4.4 , so , can I use this firmware to Odin my s5 verizone ?
Can xposed work with this and if so what are the install steps?

Hi there forum
I've recently been having issues with my Samsung Galaxy S5 (M900 series) mobile device regarding Location Service Apps (i.e. "Easy Taxi" & "Uber" apps).
I was using the Easy Taxi app for some time now with no issues since downloading it a while back and had also been using the Uber app just recently, but out of the out nowhere it they both no longer work. Upon starting up either app they both instantly close with the msg, "Unfortunately, <app name> has stopped."
I've looked a little bit online and some sites have stated that turning off "Android System Webview" might fix the issue. It did not.
Any help or ideas would be much appreciated.
Try clearing the caches in recovery, and from the faulting apps themselves
Just tried doing that and nothing. Easy taxi closes immediately, where as Uber allows me to log my login info again. Once I do that though it too closes immediately.

Same issue here - S5 BOB7 900F running Abasadii V4.2 Knox 0, with root
Dear XDA Community and fenixvive,
I have the same issue sinxe a couple of days. Just as you have reported, some apps just simply crash on start, some only when trying to access the locations.
I suspect that there was a security update sometime ago, as after having factory reset my phone, giving in failing to identify the culprit, once I have updated every, I keep getting the notification, that this or that would like to access my location, and if I let it- as far as I can remember, this was not there before, but please prove me wrong.
I have not updated my system firmware, nor received any OTA updates, just had let my Google and Samsung apps to be up-to-date.
Big mistake.
I have also contacted the Samsung app support, but I got an answer pointing towards a firmware update. Let me copy what they have answered :
Dear Customer
Thank you for contacting us. We appreciate the opportunity to assist you.
Please note that you contacted Samsung Content and Services. Here we can assist you if you encounter any issues related to Samsung Account, Samsung GALAXY Apps, Find My Mobile, etc.
For your situation regarding any system update issues, please contact our colleagues from Samsung Electronics.
We are definitely not alone. The Endomondo forum and Android central has also reports of this bug ...
I will try to restore some system apps to old versions from my Titanium Backup, hoping I will find the fix.. I will surely let you know, if I figured something out.
Until then:
Keep Calm and peace!
Thanks for the update Razor. From what I've read online, most of the other forums or sites are just recommending the easiest answer, which is trail and error. I took screenshots of the running and open apps running at the time.
(It's listed in the system report it sends along when you send an error report).
Since I'm not really an expert at debugging I'm gonna try it the brutish way and disable each app one at a time and troubleshoot it that way for now. It's a tad long list so I'll do it when I have the time.
I really do hope someone has a much better solution though.

A fix was found: updating to BOE6 with newest modem and bootloader
Dear fenixvive,
Thanks for the kind words, it seems that we have gone the same directions.
I am not a big debugger either, nor do I know everything about android, but I follow the basic try and error strategy.
I restored some system apps, and neither the old version of Android System Webview, nor the old Google Services Framework helped. However restoring the Google Play services indirectly helped me to find a fix. The old version forceclosed almost all (even the restored) Gapps.. I tried to make sure that everything was running the old versions, but they kept FCing after every restart. Since I messed up with system apps, a simple factory reset was no way to go, I had to reflash a new ROM. This is what solved my problem.
I went with an Odexed BOE7 rom, I chose _ALEXNDR's debloated version, but I suspect going for anything similar would be fine as well.. Just make sure you update the Modem and Bootloader as well, as I did so. Therefore I am not sure if updates to the BL or modem would have been enough on their own.
Regarding the specific versions I used, I just followed the links in _alexndr's third post
This for the bootloader, and this for the modem.
Flashing the rom with FlashFire was straightforward and also let me keep KNOX 0.
Kudos to all those senior members. They are truly amazing.
Maybe you can try first updating the modem and bootloader with your older rom and check if it is enough to fix your problem.
I hope you can solve your problem soon as well.
Same problem in my S5 G900M
I have the very same problem. I wonder if it only affects the G900M model.
I have read in a Google Play support thread that downgrading Google Play Services to a previous version make the problem go away. However I haven´t been able to reproduce that solution.
For the time being I don´t want to change the ROM, even though Touchwiz is not great, I just became used and don´t want to go through reconfiguring everything, so if anyone comes up with a solution that allow me to keep the ROM, please share.
Regards.
Try to format it

Hi Everyone,
Just installed the latest OmniRom on on my Asus TF700 and ran into a bit of a brick wall.
I'm not sure if this is how it's supposed to be or if something went wrong but I have no Google play services installed, there is no Play Store or any way to activate a Google account. There is also no file manager installed so there is no way to side load anything either, surely this can't be right.
I was using Crombi-kk before this but found it unstable and a bit screwy which is why I thought I would give OmniRom a try but now I'm kinda stuck.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
So I tried to wipe the tablet using the advanced wipe to clean everything and then re-flash the rom, now it just sits on the loading screen indefinitely.
If someone could please help, this is my wife's datblet and she's already going through candy crush withdraw.
Hello! I am new here, but you said you would appreciate any advice. Less paranoid people use Open GApps on CyanogenMod as a way to sideload a number of Google apps and services, and it seems that some people on OmniROM do it as well: http://forum.xda-developers.com/omni/help/question-nightly-updates-gapps-bootloops-t3380441
There are several Open GApps packages, from pico to super, so be carefull what you choose as some will replace ROM apps (more info on wiki). They come in a .zip installer, just use your recovery to install. There is also the aroma package which let's you choose manually what to install.
Download: http://opengapps.org/
Wiki: https://github.com/opengapps/opengapps/wiki
Please take my advice with precaution, I have yet to experiment with this. So far I have istalled gapps stock package on CyanogenMod and Google keyboard made my phone unusable. I suggest you start with pico or nano package.

Sorry, I replied to your original post, I ovelooked what you did the next day. I don't know what exactly you have wiped, but that requires a separate thread, most likely an existing one, depending on what you did to your internal memory.
Model xt1575
I am having some trouble with my moto x pure xt1575. there is an install for an update that pops up on my phone blocking everything i do on it every 10 minutes of the day or even whenever i lock my phone wanting me to install an update that will never be successful. Ive ignored it many times and i just cannot find any way to get rid of it. My phone is rooted and i have no use for this update. please someone help me with this issue. it has became a real problem for me for a week now and i dont want to look at this thing any longer Ive attempted to attach an image to this post. hopefully you can see what pops up on my phone.
attempt #2 to attach an image to the post. hopefully it shows up.
Theres some kind of package update app, like "Motorola OTA" or something in system/apps. I think that you can freeze with titanium backup. That will get rid of the notification, especially if you dont ever want to take an OTA, this is the way to go. I'm on BrokenOS right now and the update crap is already totally removed on their ROM so I can't find the exact name.
Maybe see this thread for the Moto x and look for some of these things. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46927618&postcount=14
Damn
I installed titanium an went to freeze the updater app. It will not do it without a full version of titanium.

Have you tried these three methods?
I do not get update notifications, and truthfully I cannot remember how I stopped mine unless its in the rom I am using that it is blocked by default. I had my rom installed to long to remember.
But try these steps and see if it helps.

I think I did it
I downloaded app quarantine from the play store, set it to advanced settings from the tab on the top right of the apps home page above quarantine, I went back to apps on the home page of the quarantine app and checked Motorola updater then clicked either quarantine or block (mind you there is a tab next to the apps tab on the front page, you cantiss it) it gave me a warning that it will block this app then boom. I can find it on the quarantine tab and I haven't gotten a pop up in 2 hours when the update normally would've blocked all my apps every 10 minutes. I'm happy so far
