[Q] Play Store Crashing - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I rooted my friends X8, and flashed a custom rom two weeks ago. The only problem was the Play Store crashing (he also has stock kernel because as far as I'm aware newer X8's can brick if you try to flash a kernel), I've only installed ROM's with stock kernel support. I've deleted Dalvik Cache and Cache. I've flashed that same ROM twice again, it would work for a couple of minutes, then start bugging out again. I've tried a different ROM, every time flashing following the standard procedure, full wipe before install. I've tried downloading the newest gapps and flashing them (while wiping cache). I've also tried downloading the market .apk, the new one, some of the older ones, nothing. I've tried wiping Play Store cache and data, I've tried wiping cache and data of other Play Store "sub-applications", like some market helpers etc. Some of these worked, but only for a couple of minutes. The last time what I did was I changed the theme in the theme chooser, which worked for an entire day. But it happened again. I tried installing a different home launcher, no dice. Has anyone encountered such a problem/found a fix/workaround/solution?
What happens is, you browse the playstore normally, but if you try to download an app, it stops mid download, says "android.process.media has stopped" or "android.process.*playstore or something like that, cannot recall it correctly* has stopped"
Android version is 4.0.4.
Please, does someone know what to do? Every other thread I've seen, I've tried everything they recommend, didn't help...

Android 4.0 is not so much stable for stock kernel..
So it would be better it you flash gingerbread on it...

Market downloading problems

I have had this issue before and it seemed to dissapear itself after flashing rom update, at the time Cyanogen roms, I have used many different roms since and recently went from superD1.93 to 1.10.2 and market problem was fine, I switched back to 1.93 and issue started again.
when I click to update app or download new app it lags just before it downloads, about 10-15 seconds then once download is complete it pops up in status bar as installed but is still showing as installing on market app.
I do a full wipe before each ROM flash clearing out my ext partition as well, I dont think it is a ROM issue as I have used flashed various other roms the problem is still there...currently on HTC clays fasttest 3.1.
I have tried clearing market cache and data with out any luck.

N1 crashes durin any app installation

Hey guys,
I have a serious problem.
I used to have CM6 stable until I noticed some heavy download traffic of about 4mb on any startup/reboot and someone told me it might be caused by some kind of OTA update, and that I should use the current nightly.
After flashing the nightly my phone crashes every time I want to install an app from the market. The download works fine and when it comes to "installation" is reboots.
I tried everything
flashing the CM6 stable
flashing the google apps
wiping partition cache
wiping davlink ache
deleting market data
full wipe/factory reset
nothing works, so basicly what I have now is an oversized state of the art nokia 3210... Can someone please help?

Installed CM7.0.2.1, now I cant download from the Market

Hello everyone,
So I've updated from CM 7.0.0 to 7.0.2.1 today, and the Market refuses to download anything at all, giving me a "Download is unsuccessful" notice. I've tried to reinstall the ROM multiple times, and even restored a CM 6.0.1 backup I made a while ago, and still the Market refuses to let me download anything. Can anybody help figure this out?
I've been using ROM Mangaer to do this with ClockworkMod, and I've been wiping the data and cache at every install and yet nothing changed.
I am still on cm6. I noticed yesterday that several apps did not update successfully. Perhaps the problem is not with the new MOD?

error 492 when downloading

all of a sudden when i go to the market to update my apps it starts and then returns and error 492.
i have been on overcome 4.0 for almost as long as the rom has been out and i am using overcome 4.0 kernel just as long.
this started happening yesterday and i have not been able to download new apps or update existing apps.
any idea how to fix this.
i have wiped davlik in recovery. i have cleared all cache and still not luck.
any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance
I am also experiencing the 492 error on the Play store. I am using a Wildfire S flashed with Cyanogen Mod 7.2 and the latest version of the play store. So far I have tried:
-Clearing Cache Partition
-Clearing Dalvik Cache
-Fixing Permissions
-Clearing data/cache for Play store and google framework
-Factory reset and repeating above
-chmodding left right and centre
The error occurs both when updating and downloading new apps from the market. I can still install APKs via ADB and the file manager.
I've tried everything I can think of, and google my laptop to bits on the issue and none of the solutions I have found offer anything that I haven't already tried.
Can anybody think of anything missed? The only thing I have not done is reflash the ROM.
Cheers
Mark
I reflashed Overcome and everything was fine since 7/14/2012
today i am getting the error 492... again and apps will not download or update.
does anyone know why this is happening?
its very frustrating

Hi,
I am really frustrated, after a factory reset of SlimBean 2.8, which rebooted to often, I have the described problem on my Nexus S.
I tried the above ... one of the steps of the first method described the change of DPI, I guess that is the first value you can change in the "developer options" > "LCD density" to a higher DPI ... reboot and other steps ... didn't work. The second method with clearing cache and dalvik then reinstalling OS and Gapps rebooting, then clearing data of play store and service ... reboot ... still same problem.
Then I installed the latest playstore from an APK file ... after that it tells me my device is not supported (tough it used to run on the device).
If I can't fix this, I'll switch to Cyanogen or stock possibly ROM, though I really like the SlimBean features.
Any further clues before I do this?
Thanks & regards
Joe
