For some reason my Nexus One running FRF85B is unable to install or uninstall any apk's. It just hangs at the installing... or uninstalling... respectively. Has anyone else ever seen that?
Installing has always been really darn quick. Now it just appears to be hanging.
EDIT: Adding new symptom: "Manage Applications" shows the apps installed , but their space is forever listed as "Computing...". It's like the manage applications service is just hosed.

I have seen that as well. I would have to exit (back or home) then when I got back to the applications screen again it wouldn't have to load at all.
Same here, AT&T Nexus One using FRF85B.
The weird thing is, the app(s) actually DO uninstall or install correctly, just that the Market page shows it's not, and hangs at it.
When I force stop the market, then relaunch and check my downloads, they're now reset to the correct info.
Well I'm glad it is not just me. Thinking it was a bad ROM I reinstalled (with complete wipe) Modaco's ROM, then stock Froyo, etc.
Problem went away when I just said screw it and installed CM 5.0.8.
The only problem that persists now is the server error going to the downloads tab of the market. I can't seem to lick that one even though apps download and install fine from the market.
On a side note CM5.0.8 still is snappier than Froyo. I'm salivating at the thought of CM6.
If anyone is also getting persistent errors with the market downloads tab, please chime in. I find it suspicious that I'm having this problem regardless of which ROM is installed.

No matter what I do I still get the server error in the Android Market application when I go to the downloads tab.
I've re-flashed the Froyo Radio and tried both CM 5.0.8 and Froyo.
I don't see others complaining about this so I have to imagine there's something wrong on my end. I just don't know how to diagnose it. Does anyone have any ideas? At All?

I did see that in the CM 5.0.8 ROM, but Froyo is a complete no-go. I've reflashed the radio, and have been using Modaco's ROM because it is the only one I know of that is just a rooted update I can flash with Amon-RA's recovery, but still no luck.
This is scary.
UPDATE
I went all the way back to Stock, Unrooted 2.1 from January, and still get the server error in the downloads page of the Market app. So for giggles, I wiped, created a new gmail account, and lo and behold, everything works. I could download apps, and they showed up in the download tab as installed.
That pretty much puts an end to thinking it's an app/ROM/radio problem, I think.
I then wiped again, went through initial setup with my primary Google account and I'm back to server errors on the downloads tab.
I guess maybe it really IS a server error. Don't know what I can do about it, except gripe...but at least I can stop scratching my head over what ROM/Radio is installed.
After several days of experimenting, the fact is that on any Froyo rom, whether it's stock or rooted, google's or cyanogen's, wiped or not wiped, new gmail account or existing gmail account, what I'm seeing is that, even if I wipe, go into Android and DO NOT enter a google account, going straight to settings | Manage Applications | running applications, shows "Computing..." forever.
Now, if I do a full wipe, it doesn't know anything about my account, right? And the cache, and all that are all wiped. So, what could possibly cause the infinite "Computing..." in the apps?
Does anyone know?
It happened to me as well last night. I was installing an apk (updating over an older version), and it showed "Installing...." forever. No hardware button gave me any response and I eventually had to reboot the machine by pressing the 3 buttons (luckily this worked. I really hate the thought of pulling the battery out...). After the reboot I tried again and it installed without a problem.
I m on a stock Nexus One FRF91, never hv an issue b4 that latest system update. Looks like it is bringing more issues to me...
what 3 buttons reboot the phone?
The same thing is happening to me. When trying to install any market app, it just hangs at "installing. I have to reboot the phone to get it to stop doing it.
Every once in a while, about 1 out of 15 times, I can get an app to install correctly and quickly, but all the other times it hangs.
It started happening when going to froyo. I have tried several different froyo mods and the same thing happens on all of them. When I nandroid back to 2.1 it is fine.
It happens to me with the Rodriguezstyle mod, the Kang-O_rama mod and the evil n-one shot Noir mod.
In order to fix this issue. You MUST do the following steps:
1. Wipe the SD card.
2. Wipe ext partition (if there)
3. Delete spareparts if you have it ANYWHERE on the system
4. Reboot the system into recovery
5. Wipe all cache's
Tada! Fixed!
This fixed it for me on Kang-O-Rama.
I belive the problem is when moving ROMs and the new app2SD feature stores files on the SD. When moving ROM's, it try's to scan them but fails. Something is stuck in a loop and wont stop .
When taking out the SD card, it ALL works flawlessly (give it a go if you need to install some apps to help)

Press the trackball, volume down and the power button all at the same time.
If you have root then the app quick boot is a one click solution.
When I was or do have a stalling at the install. I clear the market data and this works for me. I also try to keep the cache clear.
I have a bit of a problem here. Today I was at work and I notice that my Gmail app was unusable (it forced close on opening).
So, I restarted the phone and now all the apps I had installed on the phone are not showing in application list as well as gapps that are missing.
But the funny thing is that they are all there if I go in :
Setting>Application>Manage Applications
Everything is there, even google apps and I can uninstall them (I've tried with lookout and it uninstall perfectly). Once uninstall I can't install anything even if I have the apk file on my sdcard.
What can I do appart from hard reset? I have bell SGS i9000M UGJH2 stock, rooted and lag fixed wit OCLF. Arround 150 apps were installed.
I don't have any recent backup on Titanium and I will lose a lot of app data. It doesn't matter for sms as I had them backed up automaticaly on gmail before all my apps stopped working.
I've already tried wipping the cache partition and it didn't solve the problem.
Do you think I can flash back my firmware without partitionning and keep my data this way?
Could it be dangerous to flash gapps from Cyanogen wiki to see if once the market is back I have my installed apps showing again?
Update : I've tried to flash google apps from recovery and it seems to works at first as it showed up as "Installing package - Installing google applications" but the phone restarted before the bar reached the end and nothing changed. My phone is still showing only 21 apps (stock apps). Everything installed by me is not showing and google apps (Market, gmail, gtalk, maps, navigation etc..) are also gone.
It looks like something is preventing me from using my apps and installing anything.
Update : I just turn off the phone after I remove some apps to free space and see if it chages something but when I turn back on the phone it hangs on the big S logo.
Then I had the worst feeling ever. I tought my SDCARD was dead cause it's one of the symptoms of a dead i9000m sdcard.
So I just start in recovery and did a factory reset followed by a flash with odin of stock UGJH2 firmware and I tick repartition. Everything went fine and the phone is now factory fresh except that my internal sdcard is full of stuff.
Now my question is : Do you think this proble might be related to OCLF??? I applied the fix when I had some apps already installed (arround 100). I still had 500Mb free at this point. Had 380 when my apps stopped showing up.
The same thing happened to me shortly after I installed voodoo lag fix. Ended up having to get the phone replaced. Eventually my phone stopped booting up all together.. I would avoid lagfixes..
My phone is working fine for now. I applied voodoo lagfix right after the flash with odin and restored all my apps from a 3 weeks old back up, it's been good for today. The phone is not as fast as it was with OCLF but still better than stock. Hope it's not related to lag fix. Only future will tell. Waiting for other to comments on that!

For some reason, I have tried to flash a different rom on my Milestone and now it's not working properly anymore. Most of the apps malfunction, especially the ICS Launcher. Whenever I want to start the Market, it crashes ICS (reporting: "The application Ice Cream Sandwich 2.4 (process mobile.SyndicateApps.ICS) has stopped unexpectedly please try again"); nothing installs from the Market in the android browser; I can't back up my data from the previous ROM (due to not being able to install the specific application for that task from the market), I can't sync with google (says "Unable to open connection to server"), music player always stops when I multitask, and as a cherry on top, now I can't access recovery mode. Whenever I try to do that it quickly flashes two images, first the one with the exclamation mark in triangle, then the scond I can't identify, then the phone simply shuts off. What should I do now? The patching and update went just fine. The changelog of the CyanogenMOD says "iceandfire-v3.2-Milestone", but I'm not sure of the version of the mod itself. What can I do to work around this issue or where could I have gone wrong? The rom works very well and I was surprised of the features it's offers and the speed of it compared to the stock ROM of the phone, but it's just the above problems that makes the phone almost unusable.
EDIT: Forgot to mention that I followed this video and installed the ROM that was suggested in the video comments here: v=63FVDF_V5PI (add youtube.com/watch? in front)
The only thing is that in the video the guy mentions Android 2.3.3 and my phone reports 2.3.5 instead.

Try wiping the cache for the Market, change the language of the phone something like English(Canada) and try again. If that doesn't work, do a full wipe and flash again.
Sent from my Milestone using xda premium
I tried switching the language from British to Canadian to American and then ultimately to German (which was automatically set to the first time I booted on the custom rom, I live in Germany) and that didn't budge it. I can't clear the market's cache since it doesn't show up in the apps. How could I wipe the phone and re-flash if I can't even get to the recovery panel? (please fully read the thread)
I've read somewhere that I need to flash Google Apps in order to Google's services to work (like Sync and the Market for example), and I am able to do that with ClockworkMod, but the only problem is that whenever I try to flash ClockworkMOD recovery and to boot to flash Google Apps in turn, I hit myself again with the recovery panel not being accessible.

The Market app is under Applications > All. It will be there just above Market Updater.
My bad, I haven't made myself clear last time, I've looked in the "All" tab before, but it's not there. But now that I look all that resembles closely is "Market Apps Installer", and has the same icon as CyanogenMod and when I enter it's panel, I only have the option to move the app to the SD card. Still, what should I do with the recovery panel issue? It's the issue that stops me from fixing things.
*bump* Anyone?
I'm been playing with ICS Roms on my captivate for the past few days (Team ICSSGS and Dark Knight ICS) and for a while, everything works perfectly. Installs fine, smooth, but after a while of customizing and installing apps, the phone starts going to hell.
I start to get all these force closes, app's don't open and then when I reboot the phone, it just doesn't go past the boot animation. (remember this is post install) I've wiped user data/installed other roms and I'm still having the problem.
I'm also experiencing these bugs which may or may not be related:
- Market/Play Store only allows me to download one app after a time. If I try to install more than one, I get a "Invalid package file" error.
- I get a message in the notification area that says I have low space (which isn't true)
- Also, when I was playing Modern Combat 2, all of these things in the background started force closing. Some were apps (widgets, gtalk, etc.), most others were background processes.
I understand this all alpha/beta builds, so bugs should happen, but I haven't seen anyone else report it. (unless I missed it....went through more than 50 pages)
Is this normal, or am I doing something wrong.
FYI, was coming from Serendipity Froyo Rom. I used GB bootloaders from here:

It seems you are restoring alot of apps. If you restore data it could cause funky behavior, specially if it's froyo data. If it isn't data then few apps are causing you issue.

I'm just installing apps from the Android Market....the last time I only had a few installed and still the same problem.
Don't install the game you mentioned. And try again from fresh. I've used ICSSGS, CM9 and many flavors of AOKP never had any issues.

Darky's ROM has issues - Calendar won't show up and Market FC'ed on me. Try mine- slim version. See if there's any improvement. I have 250 apps loaded up.

This happened to me earlier. Uninstall/move apps to sd until the low space notification goes away. After this, reboot. Then, everything should work fine.

Try fixing permissions or uninstall with titanium pro and reinstall with play store
Also try wiping the data in titanium

Not an ICS issue... got my ICS LPY update over the air a while back, and have had no map problems since.
Easy, go to settings, applications, go to maps an click it, select delete data, try if still crashes. If it does, do delete data again, then uninstall and reinstall from play store. Test again, that should work

same problem
I have exactly the same problem. I have updated my Note from the latest gingerbread to the stock german ICS. After installation was completed I have noticed that Maps are constantly crashing. Google maps will locate my position and try to load map.. Everything is really choppy and after a while app will stop responding altogether and crash.
So.. at first I tough that it may be ICS ROM bug, so I have reverted back to the old ROM. I have wiped out user data,cash, etc.
I have also tried above mentioned method (posted by baz77) of uninstalling app, but nothing has changed.
I searched all over the internet, and found that there are more people suffering from this bug.
Any idea what's going on?? Thanks. I am becoming really desperate..
Fixed.
I followed Baz77's suggestion (adding a cache clear as well) and Maps is now working fine.
It worked, but only for a while. After I have uninstalled updates, removed app data, I was able to make it work. Everything was smooth but after about one minute scrolling became choppy and few second later app stopped responding and crashed. How is it possible that even different ROM didn't help? I tough that when I set "wipe data/factory reset", it would erase all stored system data..
Problem solved
Ok, so this thread can now be officially closed. I have once again uninstalled Maps and it's updates. Because I have done it so many times before, I have completely resigned and stopped wasting my time with it. My phone has run out of juice (guess why), so I left it on charger for several hours. After I have unplugged it, an update notification for Maps pops up. I sad OK to myself.. why not to try it once more.
And to my great surprise, IT WORKED this time. I have no idea WHY, but it just did. Maybe system needed some time to remove registry settings/kill process or something like that. I have restarted Note few times before with no success.
Or maybe Google has made some changes to update file in meantime, but that's unlikely.
Anyway..
Thanks everyone for help. Drinks are on me
