Make sure you have a data connection (EDGE/3G/WiFi) and wait. If its still there then try closing it or reboot and try again.
If all else fails - wipe.

How can you stop an app install when it freezes?

Hi. There are times when I try to install an app from the market, and it says it downloads it, but when it then attempts to install it, it just keeps saying installing but nothing ever happens. I have let it sit there for over an hour, and yet it still just says installing without any progress.
So, when this happens I cant figure out anything to do but to reboot the device. There must be a better way to "cancel out of a botched install procedure, but I cant figure it out.
Does anyone have any tricks to do this and has this happened to anyone else ??
Please let me know,
thanks.

Whenever I've had that happen I can usually go to markets, find the app it's trying to install, and hit "cancel", then restart it.
Thanks for the quick response. I tried to do what you suggested, and I went to the market, found the app that is stuck in installing mode, but all I see is a greyed out installing button at the bottom and no cancel button or anything like that can be found.
Please direct me to cancel button.
Thanks.
Oops, you're right, you can only cancel if it's still downloading/waiting to download. Once it starts installing it's greyed out. Not sure what to tell you other than rebooting.

Tab Won't Factory Reset

I'm having the same exact problem. I can't seem to find a way around it, and I suppose I will have to send it in if I don't want to go into ODIN and deal with it that way.
Same issue
I'm having the same issue.
It does not matter how I do it the result is the same.
The 3G information is wiped out, all the applications are messed up, but my Gmail account, Facebook and accounts are still there. If I manually remove all the accounts using account manager, when I reboot the tab, they're all back!
I've tried:
Menu > Settings > Privacy > facotry reset
and I've tried holding down the Volume Up button while booting and selecting facotry reset and clear cache. No good...
At this point I'm being sent a new Tablet, but I really want my personal information cleared before I send it back. How can I "jack" it up? I've looked for a Verizon ROM to see if I can put that back on using the SD card, hoping that would wipe it, but can't seem to find one. Or any CDMA Rom that might wipe everything out.
After I had this issue I even installed z4Root and rooted teh phone, hopeing to use an App that remote wipes, but the results were the same and NOW the SuperUser force closes everytime I try to open it. In fact, almost all the apps seem to force close when starting them EXCEPT market and Gmail.
Help!
--- update----
Changed my passwords on Gmail, Facebook and Twitter. After about 30 minutes the tablet finally stopped displaying my information and started prompting for passwords.
This is an old thread but I'm having the same problem with my Sprint Galaxy Tab. Factory resetting through recovery mode, settings, flashing a new rom, etc don't work and pretty much every app crashes as soon as the tab boots.
Anything I can do before sending it in?
Anyone else facing this problem? I did have two google account in my tab. I would like to remove one of it which I dont use anymore. BUT the system request me to factory reset if I want to remove the account.
BUT the problem is, i'm afraid if I reset, others problem will come later.
I always heard people taking "Don't fixed it if its aint broken". LOL
So, over my curiosity to see either this "unable to remove account" is a common problem which involve my tab also or not?
Curiosity kill the cat!!
haha..so afraid now...

thanks in advance.

In case of trouble go back to stock ROM first.

Market downloads

In market my apps are stuck at download. I use titianium but it is stuck at download as well. Everytime I try to cancel download I get a force close. I have tried everything!!!! Went to talk signed out and back in. Checked my connection. *#*#4636#*#* ran ping test wcdma preferred. Tried to stop app from running. Cleared cache. You name it I've done it!!!!!! This is making me feel like a noob again. What's the deal GOOGLE!!!!!!!!! If anybody has had this problem please let me know what you did. Thanks

maybe it depends on the free memory availability, in which related to the radio/SPL/roms themselves.
Before this, when I was using other rom for my magic, I've also experienced this.
But it is just an assumption. If you have the time, maybe try to reflash with another rom or upgrade radio/spl
I will try this. Thanks

Check Cellular settings and turn them off while using wifi.
Download a bandwidth checking App from market place and check wht bandwidth ur mobile is getting.
Thank you for replying
I keep my cellular setting always off. The problem is i am unable to download any app from marketplace. Neither over wifi nor thru Zune software.

Well Since You are on Mango, Soft Reset ur phone from Settings and check again.
Please backup ur data first
Did you mean hard reset?? I have done a hard reset from settings>about but still no change. It goes to 50% then displays "Attention Required. Tap here" and when i tap another message displays "There's a problem installing the application. Tap and hold the application, then tap retry. If this issue continues, try updating your device by Zune and try again." I have even restored my phone to a restore point available in Zune, but unfortunately it's a post mango restore point. I don't have a backup of pre-mango restore point

One plus 3t - urgent help data. Will pay.

Running freedom OS
So long story short my phone was taking ages to turn on.
Then it got to the stage where it wouldnt go past the spinning round dots bits.
I got into recovery and I can still get in there but cannot mount data.
It worked like one time then didnt, password is correct.
So when I try boot the phone I get the message "your password is correct but your data is corrupt and you need to reset your phone"
I just want to know a) is there anyway to mount the data to copy it
b) dirty flash from as far as I can get into the recovery - no data mounted, to hopefully try just get phone on for long enough to get data off?
Your help much appreciated. Photos are a big one id like, and then of course apps and app data.
Thanks.

Hi, ok. let´s try a few things:
b) I think, when you are flashing rom again, there should be no troubles. Like you can see in the OP of freedom os,follow the instruction:
Can i dirty flash this rom ?
Yes you can, but you need to do a wipe system, cache and dalvik.
Obviously, if you can make a clean flash do it, it's better.
Don't dirty flash if your previous rom was not FreedomOS or OxygenOS.
a) mounting data is not possible in the moment for my understanding. But you can try to connect your phone to a pc or laptop and you can try to mount the whole phone from there - so you can save all the data. Hope it helps :fingers-crossed:

Thanks. So far lost pics and a wallet with $30k crypto in it. I have moved on and did a fresh install. Sick.

Sorry for your loss.
I would recommend you look into configuring Google Drive to automatically backup the important files and folders on your device. Real life-saver if it ever comes to it again.
