I am getting lots of problems with my phone. I recently bumped by Nexus 6p to the beta releases, and noticed apps and the OS/phone as a whole, crashing and restarting. This happens randomly sometimes. I will have Maps open, and Maps closes, and asks me if I want to re-launch it. I do, and within minutes sometimes it force closes again. And when I go to view other apps I have open while I have maps open, and switch to it, or begin to use another app, I also run into issues (apps/phone crashing). I also get, upon reboot sometimes, an error message saying my phone is corrupt. I also will be running a app like Maps, and I once got about 10-12 pop-ups telling me that these apps needed to force close, and asked even if I wanted to restart, even though I don't recall launching some of them (must have been running in the background).
Would a factory reset work, or should I go back to the stable rom, or should I root, or do I need to rma this? I am trying to switch to another rom, and looking at unlocking my phone, but can't copy my files to my desktop (Windows 10): "Calculating the time required to copy the files". It stays at this for a while. Then it begins to copy, and after a short while, I get a pop-up saying "Error Copying Files or Folder" "Unspecified error". Any ideas on where to go from here?

You're running beta so problems can be expected. Go back to the stable Marshmallow builds. You should just be able to unenrol from the Android N Beta Program to do this and get back to MM.

I noticed that if I do roll back, I will loose all of my data. Would you know what is going wrong when I try to get the files off of my phone when copying them?

It's too hard to say. I remember trying to get Windows to play nicely with my Nexus but it wouldn't, I didn't spend very much time trying to get it going though because I very rarely use Windows anyway (Linux user here). Sorry I can't really be of any help with this, hopefully someone else can chime in.

I have a couple questions regarding some issues I've had so far with my G1. I've searched around and can't find anything relating to my problems but I hope I'm not the only one.
First issue is with url redirects. I've encountered this most often when I try to download podcasts using the browser. For example, when I try to download this TWiT podcast (http://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/aolradio.podcast.aol.com/twit/TWiT0169Ha.mp3) directly it always errors out saying, rather blandly, "download unsuccsessfull." My workaround for this has been going to yahoo or tinyurl and removing the podtrac.com part from the url and then saving the file from the new link. Although this works for redirected urls when I can edit them, hiden redirects like (http://media.libsyn.com/media/thefutureandyou/TFAY_2008_3_26.mp3) fail everytime. If there was a perfect podcast app on or off the marketplace I wouldn't mind. Yet so far there is none that meets my satisfaction. If this is a bug with my phone, I'll be happy to replace it... but it seems more likely that it's a bug in the browser itself.
My second issue is less time consuming yet still annoying. After using the phone for at least an hour (although sometimes less, if I've used many apps) the marketplace will stall when I attempt to download anything. It will sit at "starting downloading," usually for 10-20 minutes and then actually begin downloading. I've eliminated the possibility that the market is just randomly slow, since I can instantly solve this problem by rebooting the phone and re-opening the marketplace; upon which the download starts immediately.
Alright, that's my wall of text. I would really appreciate some help or direction since I do love this phone, despite it's quirks. Hell, I wrote this on my phone. Thanks for reading.

Thanks for the reply. I'm on T-Mobile using a stock ota rc30 (friend of mine didn't know what to do when he got the prompt and just upgraded >_<). Haven't messed with the phone in other ways, save for installing/removing apps on a daily basis. I am patiently waiting for a root solution for rc30, but for now I just want to remove these bugs.
One other question I'd like to throw in: any way of clearing the marketplace cache without root? I'm assuming no, but 14MB is too much and I know it's only gonna get bigger. I hope google is not just sitting around on this and sd app storage. Maybe they're waiting till January. Seems like there are one too many features they "forgot" too include.
Again, thanks for the reply.

and sd app storage

SD app storage is tricky, and despite all the kids whining, it was disabled on purpose and for good reason. Depending on how well applications are signed (IIRC they aren't, or use public keys that we could easily resign), allowing them to sit on the SD card would mean that people could crack them. Google wants to allow people to commercialise their applications, but if they were easily cracked (not even require a rooted phone), they really couldn't.
Howdy. Most of the time when I try to download an app I get an error saying process com.android.vending and then I have to force close the download. Some apps can get thru I think the error only comes up with apps that need system permission( like using the internet or etc) I have googled the everlovin crap outta it but no dice. Hoping to find some help hehelp here. Thanks in advance......
i have the same issue, i think
I can get all the way to the last dialog, when it tells you what stuff the app needs to run (ie contact info, net access) I click ok and get that same force close error....
Now I have to say mine didn't happen till I tried to move my cache, to my sd card, I got 1 to download out of 15+ attempts. I have also removed the "hacks" that moved it to sd, to put it back internal and still no good, I'm gonna keep working it out today, so if I don't post another reply in the next 12 hours, my only fix was to hard reset and start over...
Like, enter your gmail account, redo settings & dl apps kinda "start over", kinda PITA, as my calendar alone will take an hour to re-set up all my stuff, sux.
Best of luck,
BhangbhangBHANG
Edit:
IN NO WAY DO I BLAME THE HACK OR THE PERSON WHO POSTED IT, I MUST'VE DONE SUMTHIN WRONG.
Sorry for the caps, just wanted to get that point across
i havent tried moving my cache or anything like that (accidentally accepted ota update) but i cant seem to figure it out at all. plus im loathe to call tmobile...just really dont feel like getting the runaround today.....
Ok, so im new to the world of android phones, using a desire HD, so dont have much idea what to do quite yet, however, my phone seems to be slowly dying around me since last weeks update to android 2.2.1!
First I noticed about it was new years eve (last night) when I saved a text message in my drafts, then tried to pull it back up again, now all I get is
"The application Messages (process com.android.mms) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again" and it shuts down messages.
After reading up on here and a couple of other forums, it seems to be a common bug with the new update that came out over xmas. Not too much of an issue though, and seems to be able to work around it by installing a couple of apps from the market.
So I head over to the market, and I can open the initial app, however, whenever I try to do anything on it, whether it be search, or tap an app to get some info, im now constantly getting
"The application Market (process com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again" and also crashes out!!
Earlier this evening, I had a notification of an update for something, but got the above message and then Dolphin Browser would no longer open.
Ive only had this phone a month, after waiting 2 months for it, and im starting to regret it now, as I cant access any draft messages which I use fairly often, nor can I get any apps on a system which is designed to get more apps to run smoothly!
All the suggestions ive seen online havnt worked if ive tried already, the only thing left seems to be a hard reset where I will lose all my data and settings, but even then some reports are saying even that doesnt sort the problems! Will the SD card get wiped in a hard reset too??
One thing mentioned has been to go into application settings, and to uninstall updates, but I dont see this option. Ive cleared cache and data to no affect, and the only other option is uninstall the market app!
Any help appreciated!
Hi there
Seems like your phone is acting up on you! Well there's nothing to worry about, we can soon fix that. If your phone is rooted/has Clockwork Mod Recovery Mod, i'd suggest a nandroid backup. Hmmm...I don't know if there is a way to backup messages, but the general idea is if you are writing a message and press home, it should save into draft for that person. Once you have a nandroid backup, try flashing a rom similar to stock...as close as possible. However, don't wipe data or anything, just install new rom over the old one. In theory, this should fix errors but keep your data. However it may not do so in reality, hence the nandroid backup earlier. Good luck, and I hope I helped
This may seem dumb to people who know a lot more about development than I do, but I had an issue that I was having a hard time with and came up with a solution that worked. So, I wanted to share it in case anyone else has the problem.
Background: My phone was rooted. I had side loaded some apps including my favorite keyboard that I use on my Galaxy S called TouchPal. There is a whole thread on installing alternative keyboards in the development section.
After I side loaded TouchPal and followed the instructions in the alternative keyboard thread, I was getting consistent FCs and system dumps. My KF wouldn't let me do anything for more than a few seconds without FC and system dump. The system dump is what was really killing me. I couldn't access anything because the device kept going back to the dump after every FC.
I went to different threads and was trying to do some things like unbrick or uninstall the app through adb. But I am too dumb to follow the instructions precisely so in desperation I wondered if I could do anything in those few precious seconds I had when the device was not experiencing a FC.
Now, during this process below I was constantly having to continue after a Force Close until I could do it fast enough that the device didn't have time to FC before I had completed the process. It's seems very simple, but it did work and you have to be quick:
1. Hit the quick menu
2. Hit "More"
3. Hit "Device"
4. Hit "Reset to Factory Defaults"
After I did this, the device started to go back to a default state even though I was continuing to get FC as the device was doing this.
Eventually it was able to complete and the device rebooted. After it was done booting, I was still getting FC from the TouchPad keyboard, but I wasn't getting the system dumps, which is what really prevented me from doing anything. Finally, I was able to get to my applications and "Force Stop" the TouchPal keyboard. Then I was able to remove it.
My situation may be unique, but I hope it helps someone.
STABILITY ISSUES & CAR MODE FAULT --HELP PLEASE!!
Guys I need some help please.
The phone is great but over the past 2 months I have noticed occasional stability issues like programs suddenly opening up when you turn on screen that haven't been selected etc.etc
There is a list of 9 common faults published including some where, for eg OK google was working fine but suddenly doesnt etc.
This week in CAR MODE I noticed this unexpected error that restarting, clearing app cache, clearing app data etc will NOT fix.
Everything was working OK and I changed nothing that could have caused this.
when selecting Nav from carmode home screen it asks you "where do u want to go?", as per normal.
When I open the search text box to enter the address where I want to go, instead of verbally telling it, it accepts text characters for about 3-4 sec then suddenly just goes straight back to the carmode home screen before you finish typing the info and then hitting search!! Every time.
This is extremely annoying as it is the only accurate way to give it an address as it often miss hears the verbal names.
I cannot find anywhere a way of downloading and reinstalling carmode version 1.2.44.16607 so it can reload whatever blasted line of code is suddenly corrupted and causing the problem. if it was a separate app I could just uninstall and reinstall it but it is part of the OS and even in Galaxy apps I cannot find the specific Samsung app.
I DO NOT want to do a factory reset and wipe my phone!!, that is a BS solution just as it is on a PC for trying to fix a minor windows error.
DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY POSSIBLE SUGGESTIONS PLEASE???
