Irritating Market issue

I received my phone back a few days ago and I instantly flashed Cyan 5.0.6 test 3.
However I have a really annoying issue where my Market isn't quite 'correct'.
It seems to be missing the 'top paid' tab.
It also takes an age to load the info for any app I click on and the status stays at 'installing' even though it is installed and it will only refresh when I reboot.
I have tried to restore the backed up propriety apps, nandroid backup and restore, flashed a stock rom, flashed cyan 5.0.1
But NOTHING works.
I know the slow market is related to the missing tab, it's like half of the market app hasn't loaded properly.
I had this issue before my phone went off for repair and one day it fixed (I don't know how) but as soon as it did, it performed as it should and it took seconds to load app data and install, it also stated the app was installed.
I suppose what I'm looking for is HOW can I completely reload the Market from scratch?
Thanks guys.

Wow that is so weird... I assume you do wipe/cache/dalvik before flashing a ROM right? Have you tried cyan 5.0.6 yet? If not, give it a try, do the wipe before flash of course, and hope that works... Also, do you have a backup app? like titanium back up or back up pro? Did you set it to auto restore perhaps? Probably just a bad market back up? Thats all I can think about... If it doesnt work, then its beyond me brother

Hi Man,
I know it's really bugging me.
I've tried everything including wiping the Dalvik and normal cache.
I think I might try Enomer's ROM to see if that solves it but I can only tether at the moment as we've moved house and I won't have BB back for 2 weeks.
I have Titanium pro installed as I have over 400 apps on my phone!

Hey bro,
Apparently there have been a few reports about the same issue with the market, probably has something to do with the market update. Anyway, try uninstalling the market via titanium if you can that is. And reinstall. Nandroid before doing it.

Messed something up

So the other day i flashed the leaked version of froyo 2.2 to my captivate. Everything went fine and used it all day today. Well i wanted to recover my lost apps so i rooted it using the z4 root app. I tried to do a temp root first but the phone sat there for a while and didnt seem to be moving along with the process so i hit back and retried the permanent root option this time and just let it sit there. It got done with the rooting process and everything seemed to be fine. I opend titanium back up and tried to restore my previous back up from my rooted 2.1 phone. It wouldnt load the apps but i believe it loaded all the settings. It was saying they were 3rd party apps even though they came from the market. No big deal. I just lookked at the list and redownloaded the ones i wanted and restored the app settings individually. Got done with that and everything was working perfectly....until i shut the phone off and turned it back on. A messsage saying "android.phone stopped working...force close something or other" it would do that i hit close, the phone would vibrate a few times and it would pop back up. This made the phone unusable. But i decided id take the sim card out and turn it back on and everything is working fine. Im actually posting from the phone right now via wifi. Sorry to make this so long but i wanted to try and be as detailed as possible. Someone please help me out!

It sounds like you restored system settings from Titanium Backup. Don't do that. It will cause a whole gang of fc's (including the one you saw, android.phone has stopped unexpectedly). Only restore your apps and app data from titanium backup. When you restore system data from TiBu, you usually have to reflash the rom to stop things from fc'ing.

Thays what i was kind of assuming. So i just have to redo the same process i did to flash 2.2 in the first place right?

Well mostly the same, all except the part about restoring the wrong data. Just do missing apps this time.

[Q] Force close at boot after KB1 upgrade

I upgraded my wife's Captivate to KB1. Everything seems ok for the most part but it does the buzz ... buzz-buzz-buzz sequence that indicates a force close every time it boots. It happens before the lock screen comes up and there's no message box about it after I unlock the phone, so I'm not sure what is causing the problem. Is there a way to figure out what is FC'ing so that I can try to fix it?

That could be many things that start on boot. Phone, Framework, market, ext. Did you load any themes at all. Did you master clear before doing the update? Sense it still boots makes me thing it is an app and not the one of the frameworks. Did you install anything or restore any system data?

Could be an app as well. When I started flashing 2.2 roms certain applications just would not play nice

Happened to me too, even before I restored. I even factory cleared and tried it again and still had the same troubles. I'm on Cognition 4 (charging for 4.1) and don't have that trouble anymore. Go figure.

The only things I had done to her phone were root so that I could do a nandroid backup, and put a Voodoo kernel on it. Before the upgrade I undid the lagfix and did another nandroid backup.
The FC on boot happened the first time I started it after the upgrade, and has happened every time since then. In the meantime I have put Supercurio's KB1 voodoo kernel on it and rerooted. I also uninstalled the Eclair Car Dock and Desk Dock apps in case they were causing a conflict. I don't see anything else obvious that would cause the problem. I've never used TiBU on the phone.
I was hoping there was a way to get a log of the phone's activity so I could figure out what is happening before the lockscreen loads. Is there a way to do that?

Kill the power
Pull the battery. Let it sit. Install battery. Boot Up. Should fix 4 U

I'm getting the same this; during startup I get a buzz-pause-buzz-buzz just after the lockscreen appears. Otherwise all is fine.
I have no idea what is causing this. I HAVE tried

. . . didn't think it would work and it didn't. lol
I wonder if it's caused by that screwed up QuickOffice file they included in KB1

Solution
I found the answer to both the "buzz-pause-buzz-buzz" and the QuickOffice icon being screwed up problems; I did a reset/data wipe.
I used Titanium Backup to backup all my apps and settings, saved all my contacts to my SIM, then did a reset/data wipe from CW Recovery.
Restoring everything wasn't too bad once I got TiBu running correctly again.

Sprint Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 Inch - Tons of issues. Need help!

The principal of out school turned in her Tab 7 inch, they no longer want to pay $60 a month for 3G thats slower then a 14.4 dial-up!
It was given to out Tech Department and I snagged it to play with.
OK first thing, it's FC'ing on various apps. I decided to factory restore the unit by booting into Samsung's recovery and wiping the data and and clearing the cache.
This reset it but our principals gmail is still on the phone. It's the primary account. I can NOT get it to delete.
I found a thread here with a official Samsung flashing tool. This one:
Sprint_Galaxy_Tab_EA24_Flasher.zip
It seems to have worked, it got the device back to EA24. However when I reboot, it's FC'ing even more and the principals gmail is still there.
Well, it now sees an update called: EB28
It downloads it then boots into recovery and nothing more happens. No option to update, flash etc.
Also now EVERY TIME I restart/reset this device its like it's been factory reset, all the apps I installed are GONE, my Wi-Fi is GONE, and it FC's like crazy.
Contracts done on this phone so Sprints not going to do anything. Help! I'd like to get Gingerbread on this.
Thanks!

Wow, no one has one of these or has any advice?

Some updates on things I've noticed.
Well, previous to my original post, I was STOCK, non-ROOTED. This morning I used Roddricks guides to flash to ROOT with CWM via Odin.
It seems to have worked OK, I have root and I'm on the stock ROOTED Gingerbread but I STILL had all the default Google accounts. I booted back into CWM and did a complete data wipe and installed CM7. That worked too however when I booted it immediately said NOOK had forced closed...? OK, well I ignored that and installed a couple .apk's I had on my memory card and changed my wallpaper. Then I rebooted into Recovery again and flashed the Google Apps. Upon rebooting I saw no google apps and my wallpaper and installed apps were GONE. I was back to stock CM like it was just installed.
Now keep in mind I had done a FULL wipe to everything in CWM prior to flashing CM7. I booted the device BACK to the download mode and used Odin to re-flash Roddricks stock ROOT and kernel.
Upon booting the phone I'm back to stock Gingerbread and guess what? The default Google account is BACK and so are the two pre-added wireless networks.
WHY IN THE HELL WON'T THIS THING WIPE and why does it keep resetting to just installed defaults when I reboot.
I see I am not the only person with this issue. Someone else made a thread just the other day saying their 7 inch Tab resets on reboot too.
Can someone give us some pointers? In my case I can install custom ROM's but I have to set everything back up EVERY TIME I reboot? Come on, that's not [email protected]#@[email protected]#$

Firstly, it sounds like you're not actually doing the right kind of wipe. You want factory reset / wipe. Either from recovery or within the stock firmware.
Once you successful do this, all downloaded apps and account settings will be gone.
Next up it seems you're not actually managing to install custom firmware. You'll need to specify more details about what you've done and read carefully what appears on screen and report on it if you want useful advice.

I've done the factory reset from stock firmware, I've done the factory reset from CWM 4 and 5.
I've manually wiped from adb using rm -R and rm -rf for /dbdata /system /cache /data, all of which appear to be wiped and then doing an "ls" reports the directors are GONE.
Then I flashed stock GB stock rom, booted up and guess what? My default gmail and wirless networks were STILL there.
Adb'ed back after a root'ed kernel and manually went into the folders and deleted EACH file, then backed out and deleted the folders. Rinse, wash and repeat with the ROM and guess what? default Googles still there along with the Wireless.
Also one thing to note is that with every one of these wipes, boots, flashes etc, lets say I setup the Tab and install a couple apps, add my wireless, change my wallpaper etc, when I reboot, it's ALL gone. The Tab's back to default fresh like I just flashed.
Spent like an hour with Rodderik in the #gtab channel trying to figure this out.

Ok. I believe you.
I still can't rationalize what is happening there. One thing you can trust about computers is they do what they are told. However, sometimes it's hard to understand what you've told then to do.
Kies knows how to restore user state. It's also somewhat evil in terms of still running when you've quit it. Make sure Kies is not running.

Is it possible some settings got backed up to the SD and are auto-restoring? Honestly haven't used my tab in a while so I'm not even sure this is an option. Maybe try clearing dalvik?

sounds like somehow you may have a read only nand mode going on...strange haven't heard of this problem with the samsung its quite popular with the dell streak 7....in the dell streak 7 many people have to send it back to dell to repair it no other way... as for it on the samsung like i said never heard of the problem but if you can't reset properly or everything reverts to a state upon reboot then you may have whats called read only mode basically anything you install change add once you reboot the device it erases everything you did to it....from what i have read its a failsafe in linux try reading a few of the dell streak 7 problems with read only mode it may help in understanding and maybe finding a solution good luck. then again i may be wrong but just what you described sounds similar.

I would just load a new rom like overcome gbsafe_v5

Best Way to Backup

What is the best way to backup so after I do anything I can get back?
TWRP or CWM, can we even do CWM on this phone?

TWRP is just fine. Does a great job.
But if you're addicted to installing a lot of ROM's and want to backup apps and their saves/settings, I would recommend Titanium Backup (if you're rooted). Easy to dump all your apps the way they were on any new set up.

I think Titanium Backup is kinda borked now. At least one of the ROM developers explicitly says not to use it, and two times I tried using it with Note 4, it was extremely frustrating. It would perform a backup just fine, but while restoring it would get stuck on this app or that. So you had to reboot after every 3-5 apps restored. Some of the restored apps would not work and had to be uninstalled and reinstalled. Others reported corrupted ROMs.
On one of recent app sales I got My Backup Pro for free. It seems to have some of the same functionality. I will give it a shot next time I am changing ROMs.

Not 100% sure. But it looks like you can do cwm:

I haven't seen anything. I have had a few paused on me but I would close it and restart to finish the left overs. Back on the Note 3, we had the same problem on a few devices. Some has tried the TB Fixer. Dont know if it'll work on the Note 4.
