I have tried everything, clearing cache and all but nothing works, one day downloading apps from market was working fine and all of the sudden nothing gets downloaded, any ideas?

Happens to me sometimes it downloads and when its done downloading it just stays and doesn't install I just cancel download and redo it it works eventually but that's about all I've done its annoying I know but that's what I've done

VZW: Force closes every app I try to open!

As it sounds in the title. I am helping a friend out with his Tab. I have tried various ROMS, but the issue still remains and that is, the Tab loads from a restart, every app force closes. I mean every app. I can go into the drawer click on an app, and it force closes before it even opens. I am at a loss. I have an Android phone but this one has me stumped. Any thoughts?

Have you done a full factory wipe to try starting from scratch? Found the stock rom and flashed that? Let us know what steps you've taken and we can probably help you get your friend up and running again.
I have done a factory wipe. I booted into recovery, wipe data/factory reset as well as wipe the cache partition. It also seems to reset the settings every time the Tab is rebooted. Should it affect it if the Tablet is not connected to any service? He is just using it as a side gadget. He hooks it up to wifi occasionally, but that's about it.
I would download a good stock carrier rom and kernel for whatever version he has (vzw sprint...whatever) and set it back to as it shipped from carrier. Maybe a system file is shot.

I flashed to a stock VZW rom, and no dice. When it reboots, all of the apps force close either at startup or when they are pressed. This is ridiculous!
I used this ROM
When I flashed it back to stock, the Setup Wizard keeps force closing. So now I can't even get to the homescreen or even the activate screen to bypass activation.
Are you flashing through recovery or using odin? That would be my advice, get a stock tar and odin

try flashing a kernel with clockwork. then flash whatever rom. and do wipe data, wipe cache, and then go into advanced, and wipe the dalvik cache.
Any thoughts on which one?
I know there have been other threads relating to this. It will never do a full reset. It always recovers to a previous image.
Odin with a stock tar

I have done a flash using the stock rom. The issue that it is having, is that everytime I reboot the Tab, I ALWAYS have to start from scratch. The ROM changes when I flash, but all of the previous users info is still there. I go in to app management remove every 3rd party app I can find, any personal data (i.e. google accounts, messages etc.), but when I reboot the Tab, ALL of the info that I just deleted is back on device. After just a simple reboot. I tried just installing CWM but superuser keeps force closing so I can never boot into CWM recovery. Any of the kernels that I can find no longer have valid links, does any one have a kernel available. Very frustrating! I have used both Odin and Heimdall.

[Q] How to fix Bluetooth on CM7?

Hey there, so i recently just flashed CM7 (cm_captivatemtd_full-133.zip). I used the method shown in the MobileTechVideos, using ODIN as well as the Speedstock kernal for the PDA. Everything worked out great! Backed up my apps via Titanium and got google apps through clockwork. Im loving CM7, but the problem is Bluetooth refuse to turn on! Every time i try and enable Bluetooth nothing happens. The icon gets greyed out and then reappears but nothing changes. Anyone know a fix to this?! Thanks!
I've tried fixing the permissions through Rom manager and rebooted a number of times. Nothing works. Also whenever i reboot the email app just FC on me :/
Edit: The process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectly shows up everytime i reboot as well!
Try to flash it again or try a previous nightly.

Alright, i'll give that a whirl and keep you posted! Thanks!
Did this work?
I've had the same problem, re-flashed numerous times to try and clear it (wiped my cache, dalvik, etc) but still it always happens, and then the FCs for com.android.phone keep coming intermittently.
So since my last flash, I haven't touched bluetooth, and guess what? No FC's at all.
Anybody have another idea?
I'm on 7.1.0 from 10-10-2011.

[Q] teamhacksung ICS build 8 market issues

Posting here because I can't post on the dev thread being a newbie and all. I've installed [ROM][ICS][ITL41D] teamhacksung's ICS Port for Galaxy S (BUILD 8) and for the most part it's working great! Really love the changes in ICS over GB.
I had CM7.1 installed, I did a data wipe/factory restore, cleared cache and even cleared dalvik cache, installed ICS and then installed Gapps 5.1.
I have two major issues with Market:
1) When on the Market website it shows a bunch of apps in the INSTALLED state to my phone but due to the wipe they are not installed.
2) When I click install on an app from the website it says "This app will be downloaded to your device shortly." but then I never see it on my device.
I CAN install apps via Market from the phone though with no issues.
I've restarted, verified internet connection, etc. I even tried reinstalling Gapps.
Any ideas?
I know there have been times mine would not download anything after I used the website until I went on my phone and downloaded something else, then it like "wakes up" and downloads what I sent through the website. Have you tried that? Also, you are making sure you Ars logged into the same google account on the website as your phone, right?
Sent from my ice creamed Captivate
Yeah I've been able to successfully download from the phone... still nothing on the site. And yes, same google account as on the phone - if I initiate a download/purchase from the website it does show up on the phone market app under the not installed portion of My Apps...
I've also tried with Wi-Fi enabled/disabled, tried switching to airplane mode and back... still no go.
SOLVED!
Pain in the ass though. Did factory reset/data wipe from within ICS, including formatting the SD card. Reinstalled CM7, booted, booted into recovery, then wiped cache/factory reset, reinstalled ICS then booted, booted into recovery, installed Google Apps and it seems to be working. Still shows up on Market website as "Installed" but allows me to select the phone and it does sent the push install.
Must have been some data setting that was preventing it. Oh well, good to start with a fresh phone once in a while

Phone gone crazy. Nothing works CM9+HydraCore

Ok so since today morning apart from calls (through the stock dialer) nothing works on my phone. I didn't change any settings or flash anything. Only thing that happened at night was a Scheduled Titanium App Data Backup, and I used the phone for over an hour after that with no problems.
All third party apps crash open opening. Smart Keyboard crashes every 10 seconds because I guess the service is trying to start the process. Gmail doesn't open. Go SMS, rocket dial, even the widgets don't load.
I tried rebooting a few times. Didn't work!
Tried Wiping Cache and Dalvik. DIDN'T WORK!
Is there any other solution before I do a complete wipe and re-install the rom?
P.S. on CM 9.0 (Stable) with HydraCore v1
did you wipe/factory reset after flashing cm9 ?
Its a must otherwise u will get fc's everywhere

Umm I was using this combination ever since HydraCore came out. this problem happened overnight. No kernel or ROM update.
Anyhow I just wiped and re-installed everything as I couldn't wait. I need to use this as a phone not a toy

Problem Installing ROMS

I have a recurring issue trying to install any roms on this device. Every time I perform an install, after I reboot I get the error that the android keyboard has stopped working (keyboard crashes). It happens over and over. I can't type anything and the home button doesn't work, either.
I wipe the system and cache before doing every install, do a factory reset after, wipe dalvik, let it sit before rebooting. It doesn't matter if I wait 5 minutes or an hour, I get the same error every time. I have tried every rom in this forum, same result, same error.
I end up having to restore back to factory rooted every time.
Is there something that I just keep forgetting to do? Something I'm missing? Any help would be appreciated.

Are you using TWRP or cwm?

I was using cwr originally with this phone and with all previous phones, but switched to twrp since most people say it's better.

And it still happens with twrp?
These are the steps I take with twrp.
1. Wipe data
2. Wipe system
3. Wipe cache/dalvik
4. Install rom
5. Install gapps if flashing aosp based rom.
6. Wipe cache/dalvik
7. Fix permissions *optional
8. Reboot then leave alone and don't touch for ten minutes.
9. Reboot again and enjoy.
If that doesn't work then something is wrong with your phone.

I have no idea if this will help because i've never had this problem, but as long as your phone hasn't frozen, maybe you could try installing a 3rd party keyboard from the Play store (do it from the Play store on your PC since you can't use the keyboard on your phone). Maybe that might fix what's broken, or at least give you the option to use another keyboard.
Another option would be to install Teamviewer QuickSupport from the Play store (again, use your PC). This free app allows you to actually control your Android phone from your computer (Your phone actually pops up in a window and you can control it with mouse clicks), so you might be able to troubleshoot a little bit easier using that, or install apps, etc.
Also, if you are installing Gapps, make sure you are using the right one for your specific ROM. There are separate ones for JB ROMS and ICS ROMS (if I remember correctly). Also, make sure the one you are using is the latest version for that ROM.
I hope one of these suggestions helps. If either one does, click the thanks button.
