I am facing the same issue. Download/update simply fails to 'start' for majority of apps such as adobe reader and youtube. However, I can download/updste some apps such as facebook. I had tried clearing dalvik cache and relogin to my google account. But nothing seems to solve it.

How do I wipe data for play store and google service framework?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] m.kochan10:
settings ->program->all -> navigate to those apps, tap and there you'll fing those options.

Sometimes, if you share SD cards between devices can trigger this problem. Try without a SD to see if this is the cause.

I did the data wipe, and downloads/updates are fine now.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] b99721:
I am again unable to download app updates from market. I again did dalvik cache wipe, and data wipe for google play and google framework service. I am getting error 497. Google search didn't yield anything helpful. Can someone suggest another solution?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] 'cooleagle':
Use any task killer/switcher & switch to Google play store which is already running in the background or start it once & then switch to it.

Even if the above doesn't help them click on 'Uninstall Updates' in the by going to Settings => Applications => Mange atop => Google Play app => Uninstall Updates.

Do update here if it helps.

Cheers ! :)

Try making another gmail account for play store . IMO if nothing has worked so far , a hard reset might help but keep a back up of your data before you attempt that. :rolleyes:

@cooeagle: thanks for the suggestion. However even this didn't work.

@pulley06: thanks for the suggestion. I am keeping full reset as my last option.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanDroidian:

WTF?!

I turned "screen filter" off and they all worked!

Why does that affect anything? That is very strange! Should I have known that? I assumed it didn't do ANYTHING except dim my screen!

Out of curiosity, why does it affect the installation of apps, and DOES IT AFFECT ANYTHING ELSE I/WE SHOULD BE AWARE OF? ?

Thanks to everyone that responded!

Yeah, that is the weirdest thing! I might have never figured that out if u hadn't told me!

(I also had trouble installing Swype Beta, which I posted for help about a few months back, and I assume this was the same problem I was having but never figured out. I tried it so many times I guess I finally had Screen Filter off when it finally worked)

I'v been to whole forum and used a number of roms, my favorite had been wiui rom due to beautiful UI and comes with all the apps I need.

However, recently I'v upgraded it to ICS version, which sucks and drains my battery in 3 hours. (trying to fix that)

But I realized a reguler or casual user shouldn't check for batterystats and logs to see whats going on.

We need a rom with a good UI (not jumping rabbits everywhere, simple and clean) and exceptional battery life.

Face it, sII sucks with battery and the best rom is the one with a bettery battery life. It doen't matter if your windows move with animations if you loose your phones battery in the middle of the day.

For a heavy user with lots of data dependent, push enabled applications, I need a simple, clean, good user experiecen, good looking, battery optimized rom. I don't want to download voltage tweaks, kernels, etc. I don't want my phone to act weird everytime I update it.

any recommendations?

Resurrection Rom by Westcrip. Select 'Dark knight Kernel' when flashing it. It's the among the best ICS roms around.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crachel:
Just try the ROMs until you find one you like. Everybody uses their phone differently and given the international nature of this device, the multitude of environmental & network conditions that will also effect battery life makes recommending ROMs pretty pointless.

On my phone I use 3G Watchdog to count the 3G data I use.

Jelly Bean has a built in counter and it can warn me when using known mobile hotspots that large downloads are going to happen.

Does anyone know if there is a Data Counter that will count on known networks?

i.e. On wifi network `blah` you've used 500MB this month?

It would be handy, as I received a txt to the device that when I checked said "Outstanding £2874.." :eek:

I nearly wet myself but read the whole thing and realised it was injury spam :D
[Nexus 7 General] david279:
When you go to data usage hit the menu button and there's a mobile hotspot option that allows you to designate a wireless access point a hotspot. It will restrict background data on that access point. Not sure if it keeps a data count because I haven't used it yet.

Hi,

I am using SGS I9000 for past 1.5yrs.

I also heard losing IMEI is common while flashing any ROM.

Now I am very scared to flash any custom rom, i have just only rooted my phone.

But my phone is giving a lot of problem, hanging a lot, Force Closes etc..!!

I can pay few amount if my phone is successfully flashed with CM10 ROM.

My location is New Delhi/NCR - India.

Please let me know if anybody is interested here to help me out.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jeroen1000:
Hi, newbie poster here with a questions:confused:

I'm actually just curious as I've found enough information to root my phone and create backups. However, I like to know what I'm doing more intimately. I hope someone can give a word of explanation. This seems like the most techy forum so I decided to ask here.

1)What is it that we flash when installing a new ROM? Is it a partition on the internal flash drive?

2) Is the boot loader stored in the /boot partition?

3) Is there some kind of BIOS chip in these phones? Something has to initiate to start reading the /boot partition? Do we alter this in any way (like when flashing a computer BIOS).

A final bonus question that I would like to know is, what is changed when the boot loader is unlocked (I know the purpose and why it needs to be done). Is unlocking the boot loader simply removing the (or a) check so that unsigned stuff can be installed (like ROMs and clockwork recovery).

So in essence the boot loader is patched (= its code altered).

Thanks for taken the time to explain this to me:)

Jeroen
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Taysider:
Find you phones forum, there will be sticky posts there to read up on rooting
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jeroen1000:
I did:) For hours. I can find why a boot loader needs to be unlocked or decrypted. But not what is actually changed and why this is changed.

I can probably figure out question 1 though. But not what the boot order is, and whether hboot sits in a BIOS chip and is the same as a computer BIOS. There is little clear information on that.

IF I had to guess, I'd say hboot is stored on a chip in the phone and executes different partitions on flash. Be it Android or the recovery partition. Which one is booted, can be selected using Hboot. So it is kind of a limited BIOS. But that is just a guess and I could be very wrong.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuisma:
What is it that we flash when installing a new ROM? Is it a partition on the internal flash drive?

Flashing a new ROM, either from your manufacturer or a custom ROM, and you'll flash several partitions of the internal nand flash disk. Not only boot-partition, but system, data, bootloader, radio-code etc as well.

Is the boot loader stored in the /boot partition?

No. The partition named boot contains an image composed by the root file system in the form of an initramfs plus the Linux kernel. This is the partition the boot loader initially loads and start. The boot loader itself resides on another partition, often not visible in /proc/mtd and often not in the format of proper file system neither.

Is there some kind of BIOS chip in these phones? Something has to initiate to start reading the /boot partition? Do we alter this in any way (like when flashing a computer BIOS).

To compare it with a BIOS doesn't make things clearer, since the computer BIOS today is more a bootloader than a API for low level I/O it once was. The bootloader can be compared to the BIOS boot loading function of the BIOS.

A final bonus question that I would like to know is, what is changed when the boot loader is unlocked

The locked boot loader only accept images signed with the manufacturers secret cryptographic key - everything else will be rejected. Unlocking it, and it'll accept unsigned images as well, making you free to boot and/or flash whatever you like.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jeroen1000:
Thank you Kuisma. When I omitted hboot in my Google search, I found a lot more explanatory links. hboot appears to be HTC specific.

So unlocking the boot loader is a vendor patch in fact. It is not patched by the community? Probably the option is foreseen to disable the certificate check by the vendor and then I shouldn't really call it a patch.

Something still has to start the boot loader. Is this hard coded in the CPU that the boot loader will start at location x in the NAND? I suppose that is the only way in fact. Boot loader and hardware would then be intimately connected just like with a regular BIOS.

I'd better not mess with the boot loader partition then:D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuisma:
The boot loader is most likely just mapped as a part of the memory the CPU starts its execution at, more or less.

If the manufacturer allows it, you can unlock the boot loader in a official way, usually simultaneous erasing the DRM information. Then there's the unofficial way, cracking the phone unlocking it via some exploit.

I wrote a few words about the boot loader at http://whiteboard.ping.se/Android/BootLoader.

- XXBLG6 odex (ICS)

I always do this extended power menu for my own anyway. So I thought, it might be useful for some of you as well, so I share it.

See attached screenshots below.

Download

Please visit: Extended Power Menu on Boeffla-Kernel Homepage

Content

Only extended power menu in a separate window when you click on Reboot.

Nothing else, no battery mod, no CRT-OFF, no other mods, just the pure extended power menu as this is the only thing I really miss on stock Sammy firmwares. Minimalistic, safe, clean and simple.

And I am also not planning to add any more functions or graphical gimmicks to this mod (theme makers can take that over), however I plan to update this mod very fast whenever a new firmware comes out.

How to apply

Simply download the file XX...-ExtPowMenu.zip to your sdcard, reboot into CWM recovery and flash the zip file.

Rollback

In case it does not work for you or you do not like it - simply download XX...-ExtPowMenu-Rollback.zip and flash it in CWM recovery as well. This will bring your power menu back to stock.

Notes

Please make sure, the file matches your firmware installed and make sure you flash correct odex or deodexed version!!! If not, you will end up in a bootloop!

This mod only works on Samsung stock roms, no AOSP, no CM, no JB!

If you like it, feel free to donate.

Thanks and enjoy

Andi

XXBLG8 mod is out

Hi guys,

sorry, took me a bit long this time due to holidays last weekend.

But now, XXBLG8 Version is also available here.

Although it seems XXBLG6 works on BLG8 as well, I have completely redone the implementation for BLG8 as I checked md5 hashes of the file concerned and found it to be different between the firmwares.

So I highly recommend all users on XXBLG8 to use this newer version.
