[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] trevor7428:
I have noticed. When I'm trying to find an app in my app drawer. And I can't find it so i decide. It search for in in the play store and just open it there. Then I notice it says install. And this has happened about 5 to 7 times. And that's just the apps I notice. Any ideas why this would be.

Rooted, stock rom, no recovery and locked. Bootloader (never unlocked it)
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Biohazard0289:
Any specific apps or is it anything you install?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] trevor7428:
I Don't recall it happening to the same app twice. So basically any app. And I have no idea its even gone, till I wanna open it, and relize its gone, so obviously not apps I use dayly.

I had the Motorola charm and g1 before this phone and right now. I have my acer a100 and transformer tf300. And have never ran into this prob intimidated my blaze

Any help would be appreciated. I can send you a list of all my apps. To see if that's the cause, but I doubt it. Don't ha e that many apps. Since I have my tablets to play on
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] LthrSword:
I have had the exact same problem. I have noticed that it seems to happen more often than not when I switch between launchers I had up to 4 launchers on my phone and when the default question box would appear I just chose a launcher app but never chose a default. When I would go from one to another, I would notice apps deleting. They are easily restored through Titanium Backup, but it's just a pain in the ass!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PsiPhiDan:
Is anyone else having issues with the play store? I can't download any apps or update them... It says "downloading..." and never gets to the part where it shows how much has been downloaded. I restarted my phone... No luck. My Internet works fine, the browser works great, but no Play Store. Is this a widespread issue? I'm on Charmeleon ROM. Had no issues before with it, and I've had it for days. Thanks everyone!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] DRUMMERCD360:
Go to Settings > Apps > Google Play Store > Clear cache and data then restart the app :D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PsiPhiDan:
No dice... Tried that twice now. I've never experienced this before. Pretty irritating! :/
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] banzaiwolfe:
I'm having this issue on both my tablet and Evo 4G LTE right now.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] par05is:
i was having the same problem until now it just started working out of no where all i did was power off. then hold down volume down and power until you get to the hboot screen chose fastboot then reboot.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PsiPhiDan:
I wiped everything and flashed a new ROM for the heck of it. Works perfect now. I have a feeling it was just Google Play being a brat. I think the timing was coincidental. But who knows?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Mr.DiGi:
You had luck. Wife's HTC Desire stucks in "downloading...".

I tried:

- kill, clear data, uninstall updates (Google Play/Market, Downloading service, Market updating service)

- change user password

- restore phone to default

- revert phone/flash to system default (using HTC updater, then applied HTC's oficial OTA updates)

And Google Play is not working. Big issue is that more services are not working, including Maps, Chrome2phone. After resetting phone to default few minutes is Market working (until it downloaded update to Google Play).

But "Talk" is working fine. Home WiFi (no restriction) or 3G. Second Android phone on same WiFi and same 3G works without issues.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Eric1985:
I've had that a few times but just hit cancel update then hit update again then it worked. I am more frustrated that apps don't download/update when u leave the market before they are done or turn your screen off
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] vatoman:
I too am having same issues. I can get Play to run but it will lock up past that. Browser blank as well. Wiped cache and etc, issue repeats.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fduraibi:
I had the same issue too, stuck at the "Downloading...." so i tried to uninstall the update through "System > Application > All > Google play store" but it got stock again while uninstalling the google play. so i used titanium backup and did "Wipe data" (Do not uninstall from titanium backup since it will remove the whole thing not just the update)

then went back to "System > Application > All > Google play store" and did an uninstall. so it removed the update only.

I started the program and got the message telling me that google market is now called google play store... blah blah..

the version became 3.5.x (cannot remember) and it worked great...

after a while it updated it self to the latest (3.8.17) at the time of writing this, and it still works and I can download and install apps.

:good:

BTW, i am have a Samsung Galaxy Note (from AT&T) running 4.0.4

(i reached this thread while googling for the problem, but hopefully the same solution will apply to other phones)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] buurmas:
Also: clear media cache

Another thing that helped me with this problem (different device, admittedly) is to clear the media cache (Settings -> Apps -> All -> Media Storage -> Clear Data). You wouldn't think that this would affect the Google Play store, but I have a large side-loaded MP3 collection & sometimes media crawler problems affect just about everything.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Jowks09:
just follow this

do this

Make sure you've cleared the cache and data of both the Google Play store app and the download manager. Here's how:

Visit Settings > Apps on your device

View All apps

Select the Google Play store app, and then tap Clear data and Clear cache.

Then, select Download manager and tap Clear data and Clear cache.

YES! Can't install/update apps

I am having this same issue. My HTC Droid Incredible 2 has been rooted, and running Gingerbread 2.3.4. Google Play store was operating as it should. Today I installed a build of Cyanogenmod 10 (update-cm-9.0.0-RC0-vivow-BRACKETKANG-04_08_12-signed-v.3) with Jellybean (Android 4.1.1). I flashed the corresponding gapps download (gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip) from cyanogenmod.org. This is the thread I used to do this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1779986

I have re-flashed the gapps, cyanogenmod, and even tried various other cyanogenmod and gapp versions. I can not download or update apps. I accepted the terms, etc and it says downloading indefinitely. I have tried emptying the cache, force closing, reinstalling Google Play. I have also downloaded older versions of the app. Currently, I have version 3.9.16 installed. I have been using clockworkmod to install cyanogenmod and gapps, if that is helpful information.

I have scoured the internet looking for a solution. I am not allowed to post on the above mentioned thread, I guess I haven't posted on XDA enough in order to have access. If there is anymore information I can provide that would make it easier/possible to solve this problem, please let me know!

Thank you very much,

Darman

HOLD ON UPDATING!!! There are a bunch of people having data and wifi issues with this release. I have not had them but that doesn't mean you won't. Update at your OWN risk. You've been warned.

If you would like to update the software but not the baseband (probable cause for data/wifi issues) then just use my Nandroid linked below and leave your current baseband.

To everyone that keeps trying to relock their phones and flash the RUU to get the update it will NOT work. If you look at your software version you will see that it has added and R2 in it. I don't know why it does this, maybe it's a why for HTC to screw over the hackers yet again. Here is how to get the update.

There are 2 ways to get the update.

First: Use my Stock Rooted 1.84 Nandroid that I posted here. Simple but you will have to flash the radio separate.

Second: More steps but worked for me. NOTE: Only works if your on stock rooted phone. Will not work on custom ROM. Get Stock 1.53 Nandroid here. Credit to Reviewers for posting.

This will NOT wipe your phone nor do you need to wipe your phone if you are on Stock Rooted.

1a - This step only needed if you are on a custom ROM. If your on Stock Rooted then proceed to step 1b.

Download the above linked Nandroid (for 1.53) and restore it in Recovery. Reboot.

1b - Download this tool and use it to flash stock recovery. It will auto reboot your phone into bootloader so just start with your phone normally booted.

Credit goes to hasoon2000 for creating the tool!

2 - Your phone will reboot, once booted back up go to Settings>About Phone>Software Update. It will find the update and download then prompt to install. Select yes and let your phone update and reboot.

3 - Fire up the tool from step 1b again and this time flash CWM Recovery (whichever you prefer).

4 - After reboot is complete reboot again back into recovery and flash this to restore SU permissions (seems the update breaks them, at least for me).

Credit goes to Chainfire for creating this!

5 - Reboot, Done.
[HTC One S] DigitalMonk:
Any way to force the update if you have already received it once? I downloaded it yesterday but it failed because I had CWM installed at the time. I've flashed back to stock recovery but when I check for an update it says one isn't available.

I wonder if I could call T-Mobile and have them push it again?
[HTC One S] eminembdg:
Did you totally wipe your phone? If not then the update is in your " download" folder

Sent from my HTC One S
[HTC One S] DigitalMonk:
Yeah, I know it's in Download, I posted about that in another thread yesterday. But is there some way to flash it now from that file? I thought from reading the other threads there was no flashable version yet, or was that only if you are running CWM?
[HTC One S] setzer715:
Try deleting that file and checking again. Back it up to your computer first of course.
[HTC One S] MissingBonobo:
Didn't work for me. I got about 2 downloads out of the servers, and then they aren't sending it anymore. Weak.
[HTC One S] DigitalMonk:
No go so far. Copied it to my PC, deleted it from my Download folder, re-booted and then checked for an update 3 different times and nothing so far.
[HTC One S] setzer715:
With all of the people having wifi and data issues TMO may have stopped sending it until they figure out what is going on. I do know for a fact that TMO tests any software update the send so something may have gone haywire with it. Maybe got radio mixed up.
[HTC One S] syntropic:
Wait.. I didn't know this. You mean even if we "unroot" and flash stock recovery (and using stock ROM of course), we cannot flash this ourselves?

I currently have the CWM touch recovery and root, u/l bootloader, etc., and TMO has sent me 2 updates, both were in the Downloads folder. I didn't notice that it updated (as I never confirmed) but they obviously didn't install.

But I would have done the above if I had known we couldn't just flash it ourselves. WTF T-mobile?? Those of us who know how to flash a file should at least not be prevented from doing so (especially since we need to have the original recovery installed).

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Effsi:
Quick question for you gentlemen regarding video playback. I have some 720p mkv files on my media server and am having issues playing them back on any ics rom. They play perfect on nearly any player on touchwiz and flawless on vplayer in hardware mode on cm7. Anyone have any ideas on what I could do for cm9 to have the same playing capability? I hate touchwiz but the camera and video work flawless on it and seems like it may be the best bet for me atm.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdelano:

As marc said it doesn't matter but yes I have since I like to play with most major roms and kernels released. About to test miui b1 in a bit but I doubt it'll make any difference still I was just hoping a dev had some insight on this.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sesnut:
does cm9 not do hw decoding?

the option is greyed out on mine
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Effsi:
on vplayer it allows the option and seems like it tries. mx player not so much. not having much luck with vlc either.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevie13.xo:
That's weird because they work fine over here on mx player.. did you search mkv video player in the market
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Effsi:
well again ill say I've tried mx player (with codec packs and without(, the latest vlc nightly, and I own the pro version of vplayer. I tried with vplayers old codec packs and its built in. hw displays 0 picture with vplayer and stutters heavily on vplayer. the isn't that it can't play the file, the issue is it doesn't play it as it does on cm7 and tw. these are 720p video files with fast action. and not anime stuff.

vplayer works great on cm7 but doesn't play in hw mode on cm9. the stock video player on tw works best, but vplayer also works on tw pretty well too. mx is lame sauce.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sesnut:
i get a no picture on vplayer also

the video im using doesnt have any weird encoding options either; its just a video i downloaded off of youtube, so pretty standard

is this just a bug with cm9? maybe it needs to be reported. i dont see anyone mention it in the tracker

hey guys,

i just got this cable in black but the animation of how fast the light "flows" doesn't change according to the charging level.

I emptied my battery to 0% and plugged in the cable, the speed is nothing like shown in the video demonstration (iphone version).

Am I doing something wrong?

what kind of charger do you have it connected to? If you are using a standard car charger or your PC it might not give it enough amps to use the light streaming feature, just a thought.

Does it stop when its full? Thats probably what Im most interested in. I would like to just glance into my office and know if its charged or not.

Gonna look great with my white GSIII :3
[Galaxy S III Accessories] pigglett:
Yes your be able to see it if th room is very dark..

With both my pc's I kept getting the usual USB connected/discon windows sound while it was plugged in to phone.. USB2 & 3... It did light up but very dim... My Z77 motherboard has the extra juice that charge iPads but lights were still dim... And the disconnects got annoying

If I plug it into the official phone charger it's brighter but not anywhere near the video brightness

Also seems tobe 1 speed no matter what % battery is at... I gave up so didn't see if stopped when battery was full charged :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] GalaxyFan88:
I just found out it's a 0.5A charger so it might really be not enough juice to trigger faster/slower animation but the problem remains even if I connect it to my PC which should deliver more than enough juice especially on the ports which are directly connected to the Mainboard.

Although I have to mention that I'm using this cable to charge my S2, I don't have an S3 yet, but I think this shouldn't make much of a difference to the described issue.

Well, I didn't test this yet but I'll be sure to report back if that is the case.

Glad I'm not the only one with this issue, wonder if other people also face the same situation.

Would be nice if other people could also post their experience about the EZOPower cable :cool:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] dpwhitty11:
If it's just a .5A charger like the above guy said, its just a simple matter of swapping out some resistors inside one end of the cable.

I ordered the white EZO cable, I'll be able to comment in a few days when mine comes in.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] GalaxyFan88:
Just checked out how it behaves when the battery is full. The cable actually stops glowing.

Well, it's a USB power supply unit from one of my old mp3 players, you actually plug the microUSB-USB cable into that supply. Would be glad to know how to change the inner parts of that supply so it outputs more juice.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] sidn3y:
I've only been able to find the white version with the purple led. I'd rather get white cord/blue led.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] robbiekhan:
Got mine too but it only charges as a USB power source even when connected to a mains plug that outputs 1A.

Connected to my PC and work PC, Win7 doesn't even see the connection to my S3 or my dad's S3 although the phone sees a USB power source.

The seller is sending me another one though fearing that it may be faulty but it did work fine on a Blackerry just fine so I'm wondering if it's not fully compatible with the S3 whereby it doesn't provide enough amps because the lights use too much power?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] justbenice:
do you know any another shop sell this ? This seller in ebay doesn't ship to my country :(
[Galaxy S III Accessories] dpwhitty11:
Ok so it sounds like there is 100% for sure something inside the larger end that is limiting the current. This allows it to charge, and also so the LEDs don't burn out. I'm guessing that if someone (probably me, lol) were to open it up and swap out some resistors to make it 1A (or more, who knows), the LEDs would burn out. I would mod this at MOST to 0.75A.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] dpwhitty11:
So, I just got mine today. Happy to report that it works perfectly as advertised! At full power, the light cuts off. From a .5A source (like a computer), the lights only flow slowly. But when on AC power and below a certain percentage, the light flows quickly into the phone.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] avetny:
it's working perfect.

and very sexy

I don't know about other guy's, but mine stopped working around a month ago. It would sporadically charge, and when I put it in my laptop, would short out all other USB ports in such a way that my keyboard wouldn't work. Now, it won't charge at all with it.

OMG, where have you been for the last 10 years ?? Is it the firt memory card that you buy ? Thats perfectly normal

Capacity is measured really stupidly in all digital media storage (hard drives, memory cards, etc). All companies define a gigabyte to be 1000MB, and a megabyte to be 1000kb, etc etc. In reality it's 1024KB per MB, and 1024MB per GB.
