Android market won't update to Google Play Store

I came across an issue during the installation process so just wanted to mention it in case it can help someone else. I was using an iMac (OS X 10.6.8) for the procedure so I used the alternate method. At Step 13, Gplay3.8.17.apk refused to install. The installer just reported "Installation Failed" with no more information every time I tried it. Finally, I decided to try to sideload the current version of the Google Play Store from my phone and that worked! Initially it was crashing after installing any app, but I think it updated itself to the tablet version and is now stable.

Thanks for the excellent instructions!
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] hamiltonfighter:
Maybe someone already mentioned this, but if not...

I was having problems with losing ADB communication while using 'First Aide'. It turns out it was something I had installed on my PC earlier to use while rooting my Nexus - PDAnet, once I uninstalled that everything was smooth sailing.

Thanks so much for making this easy! :good:

Works good on 10.4.3 Kindle Fire 2 (I used Alternative Method Manual Installation).

Worked great on Kindle Fire HD 7" running 7.4.6, also says ota block worked, we'll see once the next one is pushed.

Great work, I can tell a lot of love was poured into this.

Thanks!
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] tci50401:
Thanks for the wonderful guides. I was able to root my Kindle and install the Play store with no issues, but now my Kindle app has stopped working. I saw on another thread to go into Play store and click uninstall in order to remove any updates, but I don't have this option. It only has Open, not Uninstall.

Any suggestions?

Google Play Store Not Working after installing Google Apps

Google Play store installation worked well but when I tried to "Install Google Apps - ICS or Jelly Bean," the play store seemed to stop connecting. I'm also getting the notices that Google Services have stopped. Any idea how to fix it?

I accidentally posted in this forum when I meant to post in the general Kindle Fire First Aide forum. Now I don't see how to delete it from here.. So maybe someone else has run across this problem?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sinyc:
Hello,

I am currently running CM7 nightly sept 30th. Whenever I am in a 4G(WiMax) area i can connect, albeit slower than I would like, but once I move around a little and the signal degrades I have noticed that when the signal quality reaches a certain point the 4G connection drops, and when that happens my 3g connection goes out. All i am left with are my signal bars or my signal level in dbm (depending on which i have it set up for that day).

However, today I was feeling like I wanted to tinker with my phone a bit. SO i flashed back to mikg 3.11. And noticed that my 4G signal never dropped once, where usually it will drop 1-2 times on my drive home. I also noticed when it finally did (after I passed the last exit with 4g in the area) that my 4G immediately was ready for the handoff and my data was working fine, as if nothing had happened.

SO my main question would be: Is that a known issue? Is it a CM7 issue? AOSP issue?

I did upgrade my radio to 2.15.00.12.19 after I flashed MikG 3.11. But I have had that same radio installed along with CM7 and had the same issue, so I dont think its that. But I did the usual profile and PRL updates so maybe that is the reason.

I will be flashing back to CM7 shortly, however I wont be able to update you guys until either tomorrow on my drive to work, or tomorrow on my drive home.

Any input or help is appreciated.

Thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sinyc:
Update: using cm7, it dropped once after having full bars. while sitting still haha.

The rest of the drive home it didn't drop. Speeds were slower than mikg, but still never lost data.

Looks like radio update helped. Because when I was out of range of wimax it shifted to 3g flawlessly.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bilgerryan:
Wimax and 3G are two separate radios and they don't always trade off correctly because they don't run at the same time. Same thing with 1x and 3g. Plus Wimax is spotty and not reliable, hence the switch to LTE.

I am on Resurrection Remix JB 3.1.2 . I like this ROM but i have a big big problem. Everytime i connect my phone with my PC via usb and turn the usb storage ON,,,, in my phone all my photos and videos on both memory ( SD Card & Phone Memory ) deleted automaticlly without any warning .. It is the second time that happens to me. Plzz some one tell why is this happening to my phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hannibal226:
That's strange...

Did u check if this is PC or Phone(ROM) related?

Test if it happens on another PC, too.

So maybe u are running a software on or PC which brings this bad result.

If there happens the same, try another ROM or ask in ROM thread if anybody else recognized this problem.

CHEERS ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] zjarkov:
Hi, I'm new member and because of low number of my posts I can't ask directly in devs thread.

Yesterday I flashed TheBrainsROM (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2025633). Really smooth one and I like it, but now I find out, that there is no NFC functionality :crying:

My questions are:

- Will be there NFC available in future version of this ROM?

- And in case of "no" answer - could someone pls give me a tip for similar (no lags, good performance, ...) ROM based on 6.1.1.B.1.54 firmware?

Thanks for the replies
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheShoura:
Just opened up my new Nexus 10 - sealed in box, bought off another guy locally who happened to get 2 of them for Christmas (lucky guy haha, I believe it considering the neighborhood I picked it up from!)

Turned it on and it has a system update. Im one who tinkers, rooting and customizing etc... I rooted and flashed my Galaxy nexus within hours of opening it... and every android phone has been the same way. Im gonna try to keep the device stock for a bit though as I do have a handful of defects that people seem to be complaining about, but they're issues that aren't bothering me if functionality is fine

Issues I do have:

Inconsistent backlight - it is noticably darker near the camera at the top of screen

Strange buzzing noise from the back of the device.. "behind" the left speaker / near the power button corner.. It is definitely eminating from the rear of the tablet. It gets MUCH louder when the brightness is turned down (in fact I can't even hear it with brightness locked @ 100%, but it is really irritating with brightness at minimum)

And the device has a weird smell lol... this will probably go away though, might be from the plastic

Will updating the device make it harder to root the device for flashing purposes? Or is there any odd things from said update that I should know about before proceeding? I don't see any "DO THIS INSTEAD IF YOU HAVE XXX VERSION INSTALLED" type of posts yet so my assumption is no but I feel the need to ask anyway...

Thank you :)
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bg1906:
No. The update will take you to 4.2.1 then you can proceed with rooting. It works the same no matter the version.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] semlethe3rd:
The update is minor so all the rooting techniques will work for either version. Every ROM available is using the latest revision, so I would suggest updating via play store before rooting.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] falconoble:
To clear up any confusion, take the update. It's okay. It won't do you any harm.

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thacounty:
Update makes it easier to root I think actually. Either way just what the others are saying, it will not make it tougher for sure.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheShoura:
This was definitely the opposite case on my HTC G2 (well not mine in particular as I heeded this caution) but G2's that were updated to 2.3.5 would have to force the device to downgrade to 2.2 before they could flash a rooted 2.3.x ROM

Samsung Galaxy S 2 - aka T-Mobile Vibrant - same story.

That was exactly why I asked ;)
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skally:
I rooted mine with 4.2.1 using mskip's toolkit before it was updated to support it.

There were instructions in the toolkit thread to just use the 4.2 image option for 4.2.1

It was a breeze.

Hey fellas,

Got my hands on Diztronic's new Ultra Thin Snap on case, which they are using to expand their case variety with. As the name states, it is an ultra thin snap on case made of plastic - featuring a soft touch coating. Retailing at $10, there is very little reason not to buy one. The fit is perfect and the ports/cutouts are aligned well. The top and bottom portions are highly exposed however, meaning they are prone to scratching and/or cracks (through a drop).

The soft touch coating is wonderful, offering great grip - unfortunately it does tend to pick up quite a large amount of fingerprints and grease. For the price and what you're offered, you can't go wrong with the case.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Brad.S.:
Are you trying to send from the stock leak Gallery on the phone? The one that says "Gallery" and has a flower.

If so, that is the problem. The stock Samsung gallery is not available to the N7 on the play store.

You can download another app, such as QuickPic on both devices and send them that way.

You can send from the N7 because you are probably using the universal vanilla Android gallery.

The Android gallery can send to everyone. Samsung's proprietary one can not.

It does this with my gf's S3 and my skyrocket.

Im on CM10 and she is on stock. I have to use the stock gallery to send a pic unless she downloads QuickPic.

And she can't send to me with her stock gallery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] spitfire2425:
I'll try that, thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] spitfire2425:
Using quickpic didn't work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Brad.S.:
AHA!

I just got it to work.

.. and just realized I was wrong about quickpic lol

Anyways, turn off "S-beam" and make sure NFC and Android Beam are on.

On the N7, turn on both NFC and Android Beam as well.

Tap to send it and it should work.

Last night It was giving me the same issue, trying to get me to DL an app that wasnt in the playstore.

But, after turning off S-beam, it works just fine.

For whatever reason, QP to QP does not work...

Stock gallery to stock gallery does with S-beam off.

I need right md5 or tar file but i cant found it.

I found CSC and its working (CSC_P7510OXAKFC) but i cant found correct PDA file.

The model of the back of device is GT-P7500 , AND 3G, Wi-Fi, 16GB.

The tab has custom rom and i can't find any update for it. locked and recovery mod is disabled. When i using Odin for .tar or md5 files my tab is say: Invalid Binary Signature.

With ADB i can see device and i can reboot but have'nt fastboot mode.

I understand that the actual room is hidden as .

Happy Holidays Everyone!!!

Phone:

Tmobile T959 aka Samsung Vibrant

It is on stock Froyo 2.2

It has the 3E recovery.

I tried on 2 computers but I can NOT connect via USB it gives me USB malfunction error. The phone does charge. I can put it into download mode vie the 3 finger trick. When you connect it does give you the option to click the green Android icon Connect to USB. So it is talking to the computer, the usb is not totally dead.

Problem:

I need to root this phone. I can not use 1 click or anything else because I think there is a problem with the USB port. I can get files onto the phone via wifi or using the external sd card.

I tried using the update.zip file BUT because I am on the 3E recovery it will say signature failed. I can not run the install.bat to get it back to 2E recovery. I can not use ODIN because the Windows will not detect the phone properly.

What workaround can I use to root this phone? How would I use terminal on the phone?

HOW WOULD YOU ROOT THE PHONE IF YOUR USB PORT WAS "broken"?

THANKS for helping!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheAndroidGod:
As far as I'm aware, you can't root your phone without the USB port working as most (if not all) root methods send their commands and files through ADB. Your pretty much stuck, unless your phone is under warranty. In that case, just go to your carrier and see if they'll give you a replacement device.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droiduzr2:
It's out of warranty :(

I think there may be a way to do it via terminal emulator on the phone.

If this is possible, can someone please post how to do it.

I tried it on 4 other pc's same results. I think something is wrong with the OS of the phone. I think the previous owner tried to update with Kies and it messed up the phone.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CharliesTheMan:
Is there not a device forum where you might could get some better information? My thinking is, a lot of the people (or most of the people) who may know some workarounds can probably help, but they don't check this section very often or at all.

Even if there's not a section for that model, I'm thinking there's probably one quite similar. Also a lot of times, a big portion of the userbase of one phone, will migrate to the same model when they upgrade.

Just throwing out some ideas in case that's helpful. My only advice on the problem itself is that I would look further into the driver issue. I've helped several people with very similar issues that we finally were able to correct.

Have you tried to ADB the device just to pull the serial? With USB debugging enabled. Have you installed the SDK and tried the naked drivers? There's some things to pursue possibly so you can have more information for the person who helps you get things straightened out.

It looks to me that the first 1G number is just plain wrong. In particular it should be roughly Used+Free, which it is not.
