Please help!!!! - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi i'm running CM6 on my nexus one for quite a while now and everything was working fine until today, for some reason i can't install or uninstall apps anymore, this means that when i try installing from the market, the app downloads, but it's gonna say "installing..." forever... at first i thought it was a market related issue, but even when i tried installing an app from an external source via the package installer, the same problem remained. When i try uninstalling, it gives me a black screen with the grey status bar loading, but it wont uninstall :Si have no idea how this happened or how i can fix it, i tried wiping everything and reflashing the rom, but no luck is there a way to fix this? thanks

Insufficient Storage Available

Hi All,
I got the above error when trying to perform market update for following applications:
1) Fring
2) N1 Torch Light
However, I still have 55% left for my internal memory and 58% for my SD memory. The strange thing is I still can download and install new apps.
My phone is rooted with latest CyanogenMod installed. I think the problem only started today after I had done the below:
1) Download a "build.prop" and push to my phone
2) This item claims to improve the HSDPA speed
3) After installed and tested no different
4) Then I extracted the "build.prop" from Cyanogen zip file and push back to my phone
I'm not sure whether this problem is related to the above but my other function is working fine. I even tried to reboot my phone and still same problem :-(
Same problem here on both bakedgoods 1.1 and desire a16 just started happening today. Same apps as well.

Same issue happened to me. Solved it by uninstalling both fring and n1 torch and then installing the new version... Works after that...

Yours also happened to Fring and N1 torch? I just wonder will it happen to others apps as well (which needed to update too) and I don't think is a good idea to always need uninstall and install again
happening on 5.0.4.1 with torch. for kicks I uninstalled another app and tried to update torch again. no luck.
completely uninstalling torch and then installing the new version solved my problem.
There was no way I was out of space seeing as I have a 2gb partition on my sd card for apps

2gb?? Damn, man. Well, that's a definitive indication you're in NO WAY out of space (I hope). I've run into this problem too. An uninstall/reinstall always fixes it for me, as well. But the other day it happened with RDC by xtralogic. Now, that's no N1 Torch in terms of setup, so I just backed-up the currently installed (old) version via Titanium...then: Market>RDC>Uninstall>Reinstall>Titanium>Restore>RemoteDesktop>Data Only
Worked like a charm.
Mine just started doing this with Nimbuzz and Smart Keyboard Pro...
All I did was install a fresh CM 5.0.5.1 (Full wipe) and then did a Tittanium app backup..
EDIT Unistall / reinstall and all is fine...
Turn on the app2sd from the 'Settings - applications - apps2sd'

Yeah I got the error and for kicks, increased my partition from 512->2gb and still got the error
That error is misleading, it happens or certain apps only.
To update: uninstall and then install those apps.
Has anyone found a fix that doesn't require uninstalling and reinstalling the app? For the most part, that works fine, but for one of my games, I lose all my progress if I do this. I've tried backing the game up via Titanium backup, uninstalling, installing the new version, then restoring data only from Titanium, but that just seems to make the new version crash back to Launcher every time I try to start it. Starts just fine if I don't restore the data, but then I lose all my progress.
The game actually runs fine for me on the version I have installed, so I don't really need to update, but it gets a little old having the market constantly telling me that I should update it.

Back it up with titanium back up. Uninstall it. Reinstall from Market. Then use Titanium Backup to restore data only for that app.
Happening with the latest shake them all. Sadly, the 30 seconds I spent setting it up has to be repeated

As mentioned, I've tried that. For some reason, restoring the data from the previous version causes the new version to crash on start up every time.
This thread really helped me. Do we know if Google is looking into this problem/bug?
Turn on the app2sd from the 'Settings - applications - apps2sd'
I try it and now i can install App from Market. Thank you.

The same usually works for me
I tend to get this problem after doing a app restore using Titanium
Not quite sure what specifically does it though!
I tried doing a logcat when getting this message but tbh I wasn't sure what I was looking for! :S

market Delays

Hi everyone,
I got a little problem with my market. When i try t install apps there is a delay in showing the app content, the delay is about 32 seconds.
Ok no wipe is helping i wiped everything including SD. But i think it's because the google restore off apps.
Here is a logcat http://pastebin.com/rBYNK9sd i don't know where to look at so if someone can give a look?
I also started a thread at cyanogenmod > http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?/topic/2589-market-slow/ But i didn't get reallt help there so i'm trying here.
I'm running CM 5.0.6 Fresh install
Seems to be an issue with the Market itself. Been seeing the same thing here with both my N1 running Enoms and my partners stock MT3G
it always worked till i installed a fresh install then everything broke, if its the market then a wipe should had fixed it, right? or am i wrong here. anyways it really annoying the market doesn't work well anymore.
If you look at CM forum you will see that after a fresh isntall using another google account doesn't cause a problem. so i'm 99% sure it's because of the google restore off apps. how can i delete that back-up.
I saw in settings you could disable it and delete everything but that didn't work.

Installing or uninstalling apps get stuck

I went to install Factbook from the market yesterday and it just got stuck on "Installing..." so i killed the app and tried again but had the same problem. I tried other apps and they all froze as well. Now i can't seem to install or uninstall any app and all the apps on my sd card refuse to work. If i go into the application manager and select an app, all the fields just sit at "Computing..." I was able to fix it once by clearing the cache in recovery, but now Factbook and the other apps i tried to install after it just sit in the market as Free but not installed. Trying to install any new app will make the installer/uninstaller crap out again. This sd card is brand new and i've had no problems with it until now. Anything I can try to fix it?
Currently running FRF91 not rooted (waiting for Cyanogen 6 to release)
Did you manage to solve your problem? I'm facing the same exact issue right now.
I had this issue since frf85, somehow today it went away. I think Google fixed it on their end.

[Q] Can't install apps from android market

I have a Galaxy S I9000M, just came back from repair at the Montreal Repair Depot.
Had some trouble unlocking it to run on Fido network, but finally got that working using Helroz's unlock tool (so, phone is rooted) and unlocked).
Used it for a little while (about an hour) installed a couple of apps, and now, suddenly, I cannot install apps from the Android Market. When I try to install, the app goes through the process of downloading, but then it does nothing. I get no error message, no notice of install failing, the app download indicator disappears from my notification area, and the app is not installed.
Has anyone else run into this issue?
Any idea of a fix? I have powered off/on, no change. I would prefer to avoid having to factory reset, but will do so if absolutely necessary.
Thanks in advance for any input.
Having the same exact problem here...
same issue
Same thing is happening to me as well. It started after I rooted my phone using super one click root.
I also used super one click root on my phone, but the if that's the cause of the problem, then it doesn't cause it right away. I was able to install several apps after rooting, then suddenly I couldn't install anything.
I have read that for some people, unmounting the SD card will work. i had an external SD card installed, but i had that in before I downloaded apps that installed properly. For me, unmounting (and removing) the external SD card did not have any effect on my problem.
For what it's worth, I'm not running any special ROm or anything - just standard Froyo 2.2 (JL2) as released by Samsung for the Bell I9000M (I didn't upgrade, it shipped back from repair with JL2 installed).
Same here

Would anyone know if this is a sudden common problem or any ways to fix this?
Same thing happening to me on my Vibrant and Galaxy Spica 2.1 used the themed markets and still the same thing

let the market update the new version of maps and itll work. its workin now for me.
How can I force Maps to update?
Just some info guys: it seems to be a known issue. Checked the help in the main Market page: http://market.android.com/support/bin/static.py?page=known_issues.cs .
It's under download and installation issues. Please report it if you're having the same problem so they can fix it faster.
Ok the problem seems to be fixed by downloading/updating the Google Maps app. If it still doesn't work make sure to:
-clear data on the market app
-restart your phone
-update Google map and let it install fully
Galaxyluv, can you tell me how to force Maps to update itself? I cannot find any option to make it update

I am not really sure, mine showed that it needed an update. Maybe you can try to uninstall/install Google Map again and make sure to clear data on the market application FIRST.
After clearing my Market cache, and uninstalling market updates, market re-updated itself, and I can now install apps again (who knows fo how long, though). Hopefully, it will stay and i will stay happy.
Under Manage Applications I can't uninstall Market Updater for the above solution.
Any help?
im haviing the same issue guys, i have put a post up with same sort of problems

gonna try this now cheers
Sorry could I get some clarification on the suggestion jayisgod posted? Cos Im obviously missing something here.
I personally force stopped the market App, cleared the data in Manage Applications (btw the Cache button is grayed out) and then restarted the Market app (Agreed on the terms blah blah) and still get the same issue.
Btw in Manage Applications -> All I can see a Market Updater package but I can't delete it or force stop it (both options are grayed out).
Thanks
PS: I am using Darky's Rom V9.1 if that makes any difference

[Q] GingerBread, Apps disappear after every reboot!

I'm currently on Bell gt-i9000m, and I upgraded to 2.3.3 using odin and XXJVB/JVK
I started experiencing problems with my apps, installing from Market, as well as Applanet(yes I know that app is not legal as such, but I used it to see if Market was the problem) however it happens o matter if I use Market, or install .apk files
Every time Install the app, say Boat Browser (I have tried over 20 different apps), the app works perfectly, until I reboot. I have tried powering off, and plain reboot, but every time the reboot finalizes, in the app drawer shows the icon grey'd out and with a little SD symbol at the top corner. Now I know what you are thinking, after I installed apps, I have also tried moving from SD to Internal, and back, but still same outcome.
I read in another thread that it's the buggy TW launcher, so I used Market, as well as Applanet to install a new launcher, ADW shows under applications list as com.something and it will to let me move.
I am not on a stock rom, however I have tried SimplyHoney, Juwe, and GingerReal. I LOVE SimplyHoney, the blue aura and the way everything looks, I love it. The only reason I found it is because GingerReal my apps disappeared as well.
I have also tried formatting My Internal SD, and External SD, same result.
I have also tried researching the methods on the threads already active, but nothing relevant is available.
So, no matter what App I install, how it's installed, I cannot get my apps to stay installed.
Please HELP! Thanks!

That used to happen to me!
Are you sure you converted your filesystem to rfs before flashing new roms?
Have you tried going back to stock and the flash a custom rom?
Is all apps disappear after a reboot, or it is just a few apps?
no just select few new ones i download, even the gmail disappeared, but now it stays, its so weird!
Have u try factory reset? I used to have that problem too but factory reset fixed it.
It happened with me also. For me, uninstalling adw launcher worked. Now I m usinf go launcher and no problem on reboots.
Sounds like a filesystem problem. I had this when I messed up ext4 conversion a couple of times. Flash a fresh rom and lagfix (if you want to) before installing anything.
