I don't know exactly when this started happening (sometime in the past week or so), but very often when I want to download an app from the market (new or update), it will hang at "Starting download...," but won't show a % or any x/xxxx downloaded. Just the scrolling diagonal stripes. Sometimes I have to go back to the homescreen and wait, other times I have to just cancel it and try again.
Even after that, sometimes after the download is complete, it gets stuck at "Installing" and I'll have to start over again. Other times I leave it alone, and it actually finishes while still saying "Installing."
I'm running stock RUU 2.27.651.5 rooted, the only "tweak" I've done is removed some apks/odex files like Nascar, Peep, etc. Anyone have a clue as to what's going on?
This happens to mine as well. I have the latest OTA update and no root so you are not alone.
Keep an eye on it...the last time that happened with mine, the market had download problems.
when this has happened to me- (been rooted and non-rooted) I've tried to reboot phone and disable/re-enable mobile network.
Another thing I have noticed is one or twice when it looks like it is stuck, it is really doing something else in the background, too. I was thinking that my email or something else was being sync'ed or seomething..
This hasn't happened for a couple of weeks- at least for me.
Mine does it all the time, especially on wifi.. I just deal with it but it is a pain
I have this problem as well. In addition, the Market takes a VERY long time to load and the Downloads takes even longer. My wife has a Samsung Moment and she has also noticed a Market slow down since upgrading to 2.1.
I thought there wa something wrong with my phone but I guess it's a larger issue. Sure makes it pain to install apps while ROM-hopping.

I received my OTA to FRF83... and now my phone seems to be freezing up every so often while doing basic tasks... even waking up the phone sometimes freezes at the unlock screen. Anyone else getting this? My phone is UNROOTED and official. FRF72 ran fine... not sure whats going on but its REAL annoying.
I even tried factory resetting and still getting the same issues.
Any ideas? Can I manually go back to FRF72 somehow?
Can you clear the cache and dalvik cache via recovery, if you have stock recovery? I know you can if you have a modded recovery.
if not, then maybe it's an app or something hogging memory

I just tried "clear user data"... thats about all I get with stock recovery. I don't think its an app considering I deleted everything and it still continued to freeze.
Can I delete Dalvik from ADB even unrooted?
I get frequent lock ups and freezing on an unrooted AT&T with 2.1. Seems too many apps load up and even though they may be in the background not using resources, the overall memory drops to about 25 MB. Go get ProcessManager from the market and kill the apps running. Some will restart but it will cure the lockups. I also disabled a handful of things on startup, stopped using live wallpapers and routinely kill apps to free up memory because of the lockups. Maybe Froyo 2.2 will correct this issue. Seems most of the rooted guys don't have any of these issues, so it must be this version of firmware.

Like I said... I factory data reset so there where NO APPS. and the phone still comes to a screaching hault after a few minutes of jumping in and out of apps. It freezes to the point I have to remove the battery. Becomes completely unresponsive to touch.
As a side note, ive been using android since the first G1 on pre-order... I know how it works and how you need to use a task killer to keep stuff running smoothly... This however is extremely odd as it completely freezes.
again, only started after my OTA update to FRF83.
thanks for the input. I guess i'll have to send back my N1 for the forth time to HTC... getting pretty sick of this. That Iphone 4 or Galaxy S looks better everyday.
You don't need a task killer manager since 2.1. Froyo is even better at handling memory.

i noticed the same thing on my phone today...unlocked phone went from ERE27 to FRF50 to FRF83 yesterday......
today it seems to freeze...from time to time - i thought it requires a battery pull but if i wait long enough it will be ok again.
anyone know what the issue is?

I'm glad I'm not the only one. Mines also an unlocked phone. Wonder if that has anything to do with it.
Ugh we need frf90 to come along and fix this!
The Same here
It happened to me right now, My phone hanged and I forced reset it, it happened one time when I was on FRF72 and one time now on FRF83. it was after a phone call and I couldn't unlock the phone, touch screen didn't work but it did work for power button menu so it should be a software problem, I thought it should be something incompatible between launcher pro and FRF 72 and FRF83 but it seems it is not the case.
I have the same problem. Went from ere27-frf50-frf83. I thought it was launcherpro so I uninstalled it.
Still getting freezes on unlock...and switching between Apps. Sometimes need battery pull sometimes just some time for the phone to catch up.
I had previously switched from frf50 back to ere27 because I couldn't stand the constant need to pull battery because phone freezes.
issues i have with frf83 is not as serious as frf50 so I think I will still stick with it for a few days and see what happens.
Just really need the official ota.

I just upgraded to the 2.2 (FRF83) yesterday, already had to pull the battery twice in one morning because it just froze up..
What the fu*k did they do! The 2.2 prerelease was fine hadn't had any crashes at all in the month I used it.
Edit; make that 3 times.. WTF!
Now, I'm extremely tempted to just root the phone but I was sticking with official builds for stability, I really didn't think it would get worse..
Yup having the same problem... Had to pull the battery twice today due to freezing and the same thing yesterday... It just started happening to me. Got 83 when it first came out, and its now starting to freeze. Idk what the deal is..
I still have no idea what these updates do.. What's different? I'm talking about the frf50, 72, and 83.. Froyo by it self seemed fine, what's new??

I've updated to GRI40 from FRG83G like everyone else (Amon RA though)... but It seems that I'm stuck with the OLD market app: version 2.13.
Any ideas on how to update it?
Connect to Wifi wait a few minutes... open the market... close it..give it a minute... and then it will be updated automatically.
Just to be clear, when you say close, should I force close or go back to the home screen for example (and let it sit there).

Well, I tried what you said. Let it sit there for about 5mins, but the market did not updated.
I've force closed the market app now and will wait again to see what happens.
The above didn't work as well.
I wonder if all update systems on the market are shut down for now.
Maybe this is the reason: http://phandroid.com/2011/02/24/gmail-update-pulled-from-android-market-due-to-stability-issues/
when i started using the rom it was the old market and now its the new one...Meh i dunno maybe it takes time for some and quick for others. Dont rush it
Well, I've waited 24hrs now and still no market update. Very odd...
I'm going to try reflashing one of the stock GB ROM's in the dev section.
I got the market update after I manually updated to Gingerbread. However, later in the day after I did a factory data reset, my market did not get updated. It remained on the old market since then. I wouldn't worry too much about that, it will get updated eventually.
I'm in the same boat. I have closed, and force closed many times with no update.
I'm sure it will happen soon...
(is it ONLY Canada with this problem, or just a coincidence that I see all those flags???)
I had this problem, and took these steps:
Access the market app.
Exit the market app to the home screen. Wait about 5 to 30 minutes (depending on wifi or 3G connection).
Power cycle the phone.
Access the market app. It should start then dissapear.
Restart the market app. It should now be on the current version.
Hope this helps.
Nope, still old market for me. Updated yesterday to GB. Old market. Powercycled multiple times. Tried on Wifi and 3G. None of that seems to matter.
Just isn't updating for me yet.
Seems like there is a bug. I cannot clear data for the market under settings. The button for clear data has been greyed out. This happened after i first loaded the old market and it crashed. Hence, it didn't get updated.
There are two things you can do. Download market 2.3.2 and install it or do a factory data reset. I just did the factory reset. Open up market. Hit yes for the agreement. And once it loads, go back to the homescreen and let it sit there for a while. I opened up market again and now it automatically updated to the new market.
Well, I finally got around to installing the GRI40 rom from the Dev section over my OTA GRI40.
Used the stock unrooted ROM in this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=968396
I signed in as usual, but this time, I selected the checkbox where it ask if you'd like to restore previous appliations.
I did not do that before, and so it seems maybe that was the reason. Anway. After I signed into my Google account, I opened up the marekt and it was the old one. I exited to the home screen and let it sit there for about 5mins and when I launged the market again, I was greeted with a white screen and the loading circle. It took about 2mins I'd say and finally, the new market loaded.
Now all I'm waiting for with regards to GB is the new version of Gmail to be released on the market that includes long press C&P.
Ok, this is getting really, really annoying because i have to wipe data every 1-2 days, luckly i have Titanium Backup...but i can't keep doing this forever!
The issue started using Eclipse ROM, i was using Holo Locker, and one day the phone refused to unlock...i clicked every bloody button on the phone, i tried everything, and i got something only plugging it to a PC... the screen turned on, and what i saw was disheartening: The wallpaper was gone, it was black, and the touchscreen wasn't working...rubbing here and there i managed to make the touch working and managed to unlock the screen...but it didn't unlocked it just stayed...black! Totally surrended to my phone, i wiped everything and patiently i reinstalled some apps... and then it happened again! I initially thought that the issue was caused by Holo Locker, but i was wrong because stock locker was stuck too..but it was messed up, with some elements shifted a little lower...and this time, it didn't unlock!
As of now, i tried this with 3-4 Gingerbread ROMS, SBF'd 2 times, and nothing changed...sometimes, it just freezes...here are my guesses:
- Something messed up with phone itself (dunno what could be, maybe something that didn't get involved in flashing ROMs and SBFing?)
- Something stored into Google Backup (probably, it's this too, because i noticed that if i choose to put backups on the phone, at startup, it freezes after a very few minutes)
- It's something involved with the kernel, because it doesn't happen (for what i tried, it didn't) on ICS/JB ROMs
- I thought it was launcher's fault, but i tried multiiple launchers and it didn't worked anyway so...
Any guesses guys?
This doesn't happen to me, so I'd say it's either the phone or perhaps it's one of your apps. An interesting experiment would be to run the phone stock (i.e., install no apps, do not restore from Google during setup, though Google calendar, contacts, Google+, GMai, etc., sync should be ok) and see if you can get past where you usually see this happening. If so, then it's probably one or more of your apps. So, at that point, rank your apps from most to least important, and then install them in batches of 5 or so apps. If the freezing happens again, then maybe you narrow it down to one of those 5 apps.
Which SBF have you been using?

Yep, already done this, i ran the phone as stock, but nothing happened, now i flashed once again minimoto, AND restored from google account, and used the titanium backup from earlier...as of now nothing happened...i'll wait...
Thak you anyway
Ok, if anyone could ever have this problem, probably the issue was caused by the application "Wallpaper Changer" that i used to switch wallpaper every 2 hours...it probably got stuck somewhere and freezed the phone...as of now, it didn't freezed yet so i think i found the solution.
Hi all
I am not technical and am not really sure what to even call this issue, but have done numerous searches on this and other forums over a few weeks and am not able to find anything like it. I'm sure there must be, but because there is nothing onscreen to help identify the issue I don't know what to search for next.
I few weeks ago I got a message to upgrade the O/S. I didn't do it at work, as my reception there is pretty lousy. When I did do it I had good reception. When it had finished, it then wanted to install. I left it until the next day, when I was home again with a strong signal. It commenced installation but when it got to 91% it rebooted and started over again. This has been happening ever since and the only way to stop it is to remove the battery. I've tried leaving the battery out for several hours, draining it, and all the different kinds of reboots but nothing helps. I was able to get it into download mode, but then it got stuck in there. I was able to get it back to the other screen and don't know what to do now.
The only thing on the screen is a standing android guy with a blue polyhedron rotating in his belly, and an upload percentage. It always restarts at 91%.
I don't want to mess anything up, because this is a borrowed phone - after my previous two Nexus 4s chucked it in. I ended up having to send the first N4 back to Google and lost everything on the phone, but the other one has a lot of data I really want to keep, so I won't do that again.
Is anyone able to help me with this issue?

Hello everyone,
This is my first post on XDA so please forgive me if I'm doing something wrong.
So my story, I got a refurbished unit at Swappa, I updated to the newest version directly (G920TUVU3DOI1) and it was working fine for the first week or so. Then the reboots started happening, I didn't give it too much thought but looked into it anyways.
At first I thought it was a problem with the WiFi and I tried to keep it off for a while, and it did work for a day but again the restarts kept happening, and now with the phone turning off during the night (no apparent loss in battery mind you).
Then I went to rooting and custom kernels.
I installed unikernel v8-0002 through Odin3_v3.10.6 and I tried removing some Samsung apps with TitaniumBackup in case there was some conflict happening but the restarts kept happening.
Then I installed a custom ROM, "XtreStoLite_ROM_v2.4_Deo-Mod-Edition_XXU3COI9_G920-5-F-I-T-W8-K-L-S" to be more specific.
And to my surprise it worked great, no restarts or shutdowns for about 2-3 weeks, it was great!
But then out of the blue the restarts started happening, they started slow, about 2-3 a day.
But after a few days they went to 10-20 and after that 100-200 a day.
Something was definitely wrong. So I installed the original firmware again (G920TUVU3DOI1_G920TTMB3DOI1_G920TUVU3DOI1_HOME) and booted to the stock firmware, restarts kept happening of course (didn't expect them to stop).
So I retreaded my steps and installed multiple other kernels (Unikernel V9, Vindicator, multiple different flavors of them). Also I installed multiple ROMs (Arrow_ROM_v6.0.0, and DN5 - S6 FLAT - EDGE v4 OJ5 - deodex) but nothing seems to work;
I did multiple wipes, storage wipes, cache wipes, factory resets (from GUI and twrp-2.8.7.2-zeroflte) but every time the same thing happens.
I did notice that the phone stutters and freezes, a behavior that I have not experienced before.
I installed CatLog and got multiple log files when the phone restarts but all of them are different and there is no "pattern" to be found (at least in first inspection). I want to upload them but my post count prohibits it.
Please let me know what can I do, I will reply to your questions ASAP so at least I can get some light into what is happening.
Thank you!
I'm in the same boat. Never had a problem before. Received my phone back from Samsung after a screen repair and now, doesnt matter what rom, kernel, patch, it always ends in random reboots. Most often when I'm scrolling or if a page is loading something in the background. It does a lot of hot reboots (not full shutdown and start ups) so its quick but infuriating. Tried everything, slowly losing my patience.
Any idea what it could be? Something related to Knox? Bootloader/Modem?

Hello, I am too having the same problem. Even after a factory reset
