Help! Marketplace either stuck at starting download or download bar dissapears

So, I've recently bought a new vibrant and at first I was able to download some apps after booting, after a few minutes though I can't seem to download anything anymore, the downloads start and the download notification appears on top then dissapears after a second. Hope someone can help. I've tried everything, I've cleared all the cache/data(from checked in service, gtalk, market, etc...), signed out and logged into gtalk, uninstalled market update. I also tried doing a factory reset and even reflashed the rom back to JFD from JI6 but the problem still occurs, after I either hard reset or flash it to stock it works for a few minutes, from 5-30 minutes before the problem occurs again wherein it'd either stay at starting download or the download icon will appear at the notification bar, then dissapear after 1 second. It's been driving me crazy for over a week!
Hope someone has a solution.
Thanks!
This happens to me at times, but after clearing the market apk cache I'm able to download apps properly. Try to clear it a few times before deciding to reinstall the apk. Also, speaking from experience, I dont think that flashing different roms would help too much. Every time i flashed a rom the same problem came back and i would have to do the whole "clear cache" thing over again.
hi, thanks for the help. I've already tried clearing the market cache and other apps but it still doesn't work. I've read of a new market app version 2.2.11, I tried downloading it to the phone and installing it but the phone says something like "error parsing package".

Keyboard Problem

I am currently running the newest rootbox nightly on my Nexus 7 and was getting an error that said "Android Keyboard has stopped". So I went to settings forced stopped it (kept getting the error) and eventually disabled it. Being the idiot I am I tried to flash another nightly without re-enabling it and am now left with no keyboard. I still have my app data but Android Keyboard isn't even listed in my apps and downloading another keyboard hasn't worked for me as I have no access to the play store (new rom flash signed me out of my google account) I haven't found a fix yet and tried sideloading Kii keyboard but it doesn't show up as an option to use after install. I would like to be able to fix this without having to factory reset as that would be a lot of data that would need restored and although isn't a terrible thing would be quite the inconvenience. Thank you for any help in advance.

Help network keep crashing

Hi,
The problem that I have is that everytime I turn on my S4 "Messages" crashes and afterwards "com.android.phone" keeps crashing.
It started when I was on Google Chrome Beta where I got a few crash notifications (I think it was 2, don't remember). I didn't think much about it then, but when I went to the Play Store to install Chrome, where it said it was already installed. Recently I have removed a lot of the bloatware including Chrome on the S4 and nothing happened by it and I have restarted my phone a few times after that. But in the Play Store when I clicked on the uninstall button it got stuck on uninstalling (most likely because it wasn't installed in the first place) and when I restarted my phone thinking it might solve the problem. The whole problem with "Messages" crashing and afterwards "com.android.phone" crashing again and again, started.
Now I have to keep Flight mode turned on or I can't even use my mobile.
I have tried following solutions:
- Wiped Cache & Dalvik Cache
- Factory Reset
- Reinstalled all the bloatware
- Reinserted SIM card
- Removed sdcard
My phone is a Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505 (XXUAMDM) - Root - Stock rom
I hope someone can help me figure out how to fix this.
I found out what the problem was. I didn't reinstall all the bloatware. I only got the first 20 installed instead of them all. So now it works again.

[Q] Galaxy S4 Google + other Issues - memory wipe doesn't help

Hello!
Please help, this is driving me insane.I've had a galaxy S4 for almost a year now. I had it rooted and ****ed around with it a bit, it was all good. Then I was running low on space and got a disk checker or whatever it's called to show me how my space was being used. A lot of it was in caches. I downloaded a file manager and went on a cache deleting spree. One of the caches I deleted was google. Ever since that day everytime I start my phone:
Samsung Link has stopped
Dropbox has stopped
Google + has stopped
Google search has stopped
The phone in general just worked extremely ****ty.So I decided today that it was time for a factory reset. I run it, all good. The phone restarts in factory settings.. and I get the exact same error messages. ?So I decided that I would do the hard reset. Shut it off, volume up + home + power, wipe/delete all data. EXACT SAME PROBLEM. WHAT?How is that possible? I wipe my phone completely and end up with the same problems? How do I reinstall the OS? Since I'm going to be uninstalling the OS completely (probably the only solution to my problems), is there anyway to get a nice clean OS? And not the one full of bloatware from my carrier? I really just want to start over from a fresh OS.
I also tried just running a software update, but I got the error message 'this phone has been modified and cannot be updated'. I guess that's because it's rooted..
Thank you for your help

Unfortunately System UI has stopped working

Hello all, I my phone started turning itself off and back in about a week ago and today whenever I hold the home button down to bring up the task manager, this error message pops up. I've tried wiping the cache from r the recovery menu, and doing a delete data/factory reset. The reset seemed to work until my phone started updating and I imported my contacts from SD card. Now, once again the error message comes up whenever I hold down the home button. Could it be an update causing this, or did the virus come back when I imported my contacts? Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated. I should mention that I'm using the straight talk version of the S4.
The new google app update is causing this problem. Either turn it off via app manager or unistall the update
My husband and i both have the galaxy S4. We also noticed this issue around the same day you posted this! Have you figured anything out? Or fixed the problem?
