[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quinny899:
This is a common error that occurs with the Play Store sometimes after flashing ROMs without wiping data, or with an incomplete un-installation (apk corruption, etc.)

What is it?​

Basically, there is some app data left behind from a previous installation of the app. The Play Store sees that data when trying to install the app and throws a -24 error, because it doesn't know what to do with it.

So, how do you solve it?​

Simple to fix:

(I'm assuming you're rooted, chances are you are if you get this error)

- YOU'LL LOSE YOUR DATA FOR THAT APP (You would have done anyway, if it was uninstalled properly) -

1.) Using a root file manager, go to /data/data

2.) Find the package name of the app you're wanting to install

(Don't know the package name? Find the app you're wanting to install on the Play Store online and it's in the URL)

3.) Delete that folder. All of it.

4.) Try to install your app again, it should work now

5.) If you like, hit the thanks button ;)

If you're unrooted, you can try this:

Run this in adb

adb shell rm -R -f /data/data/<packagename>

Replace <packagename> with the package name of your app (if you don't know it, see above)

If that doesn't work, a factory reset is your only option, sorry :(

I upgraded my S4 Octa-core from 4.2.2 to 4.3, the Swype keyboard, the paid version, did not appear, so I tried to install it from Google Play (several times), error -24, I looked for an answer in the Swype forum, nothing, then I found this thread (why the hell I did not look for it here in the first place...? :eek:), and this did the trick.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjdyson:
Sigh.. suggestion removed. Doesnt work! :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disanta002:
You need root.

For the people that got the "permission denied" error after entering the command:

You need root. Deleting data from apk files and/or installing/uninstalling apk files needs special permissions that only su (superuser) and system has. (Root IS su)

Now, reading that, you may think:

"But what about PackageManager or the Play Store that allows you to install apk files?"

Those are given permissions as system.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

ST runs on the t-mobile network. You need to flash a compatible modem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] digitalcrash:
Dude I'm on st running the latest att modem and check these out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jpcdeux:
Straight talk runs on either. Depends on your area. You're most likely at&t seeing as 90% of straight talk is.

Straight Talk leases their services. The reason it's slow, it's NOT hspa. It's 3G and that's most likely the best you'll get.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Agoattamer:
OP, are you being throttled? Seems ST possibly throttles on 100MB a day and 2GB a month. That would leave you with H+ and horrible speeds. Contact ST and ask them to reset your network.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] manyfresh80:
At any rate I read somewhere else online that it can also depends on the radio you have which I don't know much about I do know about rooting and flashing custom roms what I have never done tho is changed out radios or kernels on on that site somebody said something about UCl F 2 I have looked online and have not been able to find a downloadable 1
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
Flashing a modem is easier than flashing a rom. Get the modem.bin on your sd card, boot into recovery, flash the modem.bin using CWM/TWRP (no wiping needed), reboot, check for correct APN settings (some roms don't include APN settings).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] manyfresh80:
Im sorry bear with me ranger but can u go a li little more in depth for me where do I get that modem. bin
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Agoattamer:
If you have really slow speeds then you are either being throttled or you are not filling in the APN correctly. Does not sound like a modem issue. What speed does your notification bar show you connected as? How about settings > about phone > status >Mobile Network Type: ?

How about a screenshot of the status page in settings? APN looks good. Speed test sure looks like you are throttled. For chit and giggles try removing the proxy and port from the APN and see what you get. Not the MMS proxy and port.

Hey guys,

I need some help with my phone. After stupidly installing the P940 LG Prada 3.0 ICS found here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=28568521&postcount=8 , my KU5400 Prada is now stuck in an "Encryption unsuccessful" screen that i have never seen before, with the option to reset phone. The only problem is : the touchscreen would respond. The phone didnt hang as i am still able to increase and decrease the volume.

I have tried everything found in this forum : http://www.tinhte.vn/threads/1253753/ (its in viet : I used google translate) and while i am able to reach S/W Upgrade mode, it wouldnt flash any rom EXCEPT the P940 ICS rom. Every other rom either results in KDZ crashing or LG Support Software reaching 7% and suddenly stopped detecting the device.

I tried LG Phone Recovery but it says that my model is not supported (trying with Singapore, Europe, Italy and Korea as the stated country).

What can i do?

Thanks!

Hello,

I have done something to my Prada, with the calls and now need a help. The case is the following: On the call options when you try to dial there is a grey window pop up asking you if you wanna do this call on skype, viber, mobile etc. This grey window is now missing and calls directly goes on mobile. Does someone knows where is the option to make it come back?

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wmccombs:
I use wifi tethering everyday. I would like to upgrade my gtablet from Vegan to a JB rom. I see where someone mentioned Team DRM's rom was capable but I'm not familiar with their phones. I have Samsung Galaxy Prevail 3g and it is only capable of Adhoc and not Infrastructure. Does anyone know which JB rom would be best for me given the info I have provided? Thanks so much

I solved this myself. I am using the Smootbean rom and after experimenting I am using Open Garden for the tether app. I set to use the Samsung Fascinate Device Profile and in Change Setup-Method I have Softap for Samsung (master) checked. This works most of the time and almost always connects. This is also on a Samsung Galaxy Prevail

hi, i've read several tutorials in the Sensation section on how to S-off, root,etc.

im already S-off and trying to flash to CM10. i was able to flash it but the phone keeps restarting and its unuseable. So i restored back to original for now.

before the flash i was on the original Android 2.3 Gingerbread. i read somewhere that you need to upgrade to 3.32 atleast.

can someone show me the steps to upgrade to CM10 from where my phone is currently?

Hello I hope you could help me solve my problem, because I have been trying to find any solution more than two weeks with no results. My girlfriend asked me to take a look at her phone Samsung GT i9003 because all her apps started to act weird and she couldn't see her photos. So I checked it and as she said, suddenly all apps started to crash one by one and then the phone freezed. I wanted to do factory reset, but even the phone restarted, it didn't work and all apps were back. Even if I tryed to format SD card. They I tryed another method to factory reset through dialer. Same result. Phone restarted and nothing happened. I have even tryed to run it through Samsung Kies, which couldn't recognise the phone no matter what I did. Then I have read something about starting the phone to bootloader by holding power, volume up and home buttons. Didn't work. Have anyone got a clue what the hell is wrong with it? She can't write messages, make calls, anything because it is freezing all the time.

But I can no longer boot into recovery. i wake up my device with the home key and fortunately it automatically boots up when the battery drains out (After connecting the charger!).

Use this widget..there are many more like these in playstore..

Or use terminal commands like

This mod will enable landscape mode in the Note II's stock touchwiz launcher. It works with your rotation sensor. It comes in three different grid sized, so be sure to download the one you want. If there are any nits about spacing, etc. let me know, and I will fix. I had to add quite a bit of XML code to get landscape sizing to even work, so it may be a tad rough around the edges...

To install:

MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP!!!

Download desired zip from below and place on internal or external SDCard;

Reboot into recovery (good time to make a backup if you skipped #1…;));

Flash zip;

Optionally wipe dalvik cache;

Reboot:

Have fun...

As always, you ise this mod at your own risk. It has been tested by several people, including me, but I can't guarantee it will work for everyone in all circumstances. Thanks.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sk806:
Oh, and do we want 5x5 or 4x5? 5x5 creates widget sizing issues for the sammy widgets...i know I said 5x5, but I type before I think sometimes...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] truth77:
I think most roms are the 5x5 anyways and most people dont care sbout the stock launcher. They use nova and stuff. Its for modders!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sk806:
5c5 or 4x5 isn't really an issue, other than the fact that many widgets get gimped when in landscape. Its no problem when in portrait, but Samsung changed it's coding, so I have to address it I landscape.

I'm gonna finalize the regular 4x4 mod and release as flashable zip, with the icon text sized properly in AM. I'll try to get the 5x5 and 4x5 out tomorrow.

For the record i think, I think touchwiz is just a few hairs away from being ready for primetime, and I like it. It used to blow, but Samsung fixed a lot if stupid coding issues from ics. (eg, lag caused by widgets refreshing pretty much every time you scrolled). And my masochistic idea of fun to mod something till it's the way you want it....

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Tweak_four17:
Is it possible for the grid spacing to be 4x5 in landscape and 5x4 in portrait? That way you could see everything as there is alot of space on the sides in landscape mode.
