i cant download anything in the android market anymore and i dont know why

i recently noticed when i try to download any app from the android market or update an app it will act like its starting the download but then never actually start it. im running the latest cyanogen rom. i have tried wiping and reflashing the latest cyanogen rom and reflashing the google apps addon. i have tried restoring to a previous backup when the apps were working in the market. i have tried flashing a non cyanogen rom even. nothing i can think of (my thoughts are limited since im fairly new at all this) and still no success. i had the same problem on my g1 with cyanogen and i somehow managed to get that working again by trying similar things but no luck yet with my nexus one and its really upsetting me. any ideas on how i can go about fixing this? thanks for all your help

May sound stupid (and yes, it is) but try launching google talk. Often bby logging in to talk, market downnloads kick off. Seems to be google account related.

hi, am facing the same issue..... I've tried opening talk like the previous poster suggested but it doesn't work..... appreciate any help on this.... I'm running the latest cm, with grnstatus bar morph..

try going into settings, applications, market, and uninstall updates, then open the market again

OK I tried the uninstall updates idea and no luck there. Opening Google talk also didn't solve the problem. Any other ideas guys? Thanks

I wonder if you ever found a solution to this?

Well for me, I have to open GTalk and close it and reopen and close and reopen...it eventually works when it fully loads... Oddly, it seems to only happen on wifi. I'm pretty sure it's a GTalk issue.
Hopefully the new market system will make a difference...I really hope

How's the amount of space on your phone? Do you see the little hard drive icon? I know that the Market always starts to download stuff but never actually downloads anything when my phone space its low.
Hope this helps!

How do I keep browser open in background?

Any way at all to keep browser open in background so that I can lock it and have something streaming still? I've been listening to radio 1 from the BBC and I always have to keep it unlocked and have the browser open....

You using it over wifi? Its probably the wifi going to sleep. Try changing its sleep policy (settings-> wireless -> wifi settings -> menu -> advanced

No just while driving around on 3g. I wanna stream a show in the browser and be able to be on my home screen.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

the phone is probably going to sleep. I guess the browser isnt able (by design) to keep the phone awake.
You might be better off with a internet radio app?

Yeah I wanna be able to have the browser stay open and stream when I go to check a text. I figure people. Would want to know how to do this since we have flash now ya know? Trying to find an app now..
We'll see.

I think its a battery saver. Unless u mod the browser its unlikely u'll find a simple solution.
I thought beebplayer did radio too?

also there's an app called UKRadio that should work too

I'm trying to stream bbcs radio one. Well the shows that are available from the previous week that is.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

Beebplayer worked like a charm for streaming radio and putting the phone to sleep. Not used it since installing FroYo but have the .apk on my PC. I might try it tomorrow and see if it works.

beebplayer radio streaming works in froyo (frf91). Works in background while you do other things, etc. It's discontinued now but I have the .apk if anyone wants it. Just pm me your email.
It's better than the official bbc option (which means you can't turn off your screen, reply to a message/email without it closing).

Skyfire allows me to keep any stream going on play in the background even after I go to home screen!!!! Thanks for the help though.

Idea... Need some help

So I upgraded my phones but my son still loves to play with my old G1. I was wondering if anyone knew how much of the base os I could remove.
For instance I just want it to play movies, music, connect to wifi, and play games. I don't want it to have ANY calling capability or have it bug me about no SIM card.
Found a list in Cyanogenmod's wiki as to what is safe to remove. I added a few more on to that list and will be adding a couple of apps to the initial install. Will update as I go. Link below.
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Barebones
So I booted up my phone and uninstalled the phone.apk and some others...a few errors pop up every now and then... But I'm betting that someone who knows coding can fix the acore errors. I'm going to continue working on this. Wish me luck.

Funny, I was coming here to look for the same thing. I'm administering some Linux boxes, and I was thinking how much easier if it would be if I just had a small handheld device with a physical keyboard that I could run ssh through, then I remembered my G1 in the drawer.
Someone (me, if I ever learn how to do it) should make a Rebirth/Recycle ROM for this phone that strips out the phone capability and just supports it as a streamlined pocket-sized utility and gaming device. Maybe some other linux would be better than Android for that.
- Terminal
- Web browser
- Game emulators (better with a physical keyboard)
- Media player
- Media Center Remote
Anyway, just throwing it out there for brainstorming.

I found this over at cyanogenmod. I'm gonna start here and modify to my needs. I'll post here when I get it setup

You found a thread about how to do this at CM forums? I was just browsing around there and couldn't find it. Link?

Heh...helps if I add the link.

Remove Sim card, put in airplane mode, voila no Sim card errors.
You can turn on GPS and wifi while airplane mode is on.
And you could probably rip out the phone and text messing apps with titanium backup.

I have tried this and my son still managed in his playing to take it out of airplane mode. So I want to just avoid the problem entirely. Plus I want to try and keep my G1 useable. It holds a certain sentimentality.

From my experience if you remove the phone.apk acore starts to force close constantly and then it doesn't boot at all
But really, theres not too much to worry about.
99% of G1s can be restored by flashing DREAIMG.nbh from fastboot
And by the way you should try a custom ROM or two
Or with LauncherPro you can hide apps from the home drawer
But I think LauincherPro needs a newer version of Android
(Try froyobylaszlo, or frayo..which is froyobylaszlo but you can choose what system apps to install)

I actually found that after hunting around for a while...
Yep, I loaded ES Task Manager (or Killer, can't remember), and looked up running processes that were on that list in your link to see if I could strip them out and save some memory. Managed to take out the Messager service without any issues. Seems to be working pretty good.

No Gapps

As an experiment, I thought I try to live a while without Gapps for as long as possible. I've done a fresh install of OmniRom 4.4 without a Gapps package. I've flashed ES file explorer so that I can install APKs. I'll be interested to see what the phone's performance is like with such things as Google's play service being active. And whether I can live without the Play Store
I'd be interested to know your experiences in doing this, and whether living without Gapps is more prominent than I thought.

Tried it.. Better privacy, but I can't really live without constantly trying new apps.
So.. Perhaps it will work if you're a user that only needs certain apps and doesn't really care about the newest updates and stuff.
But the performance (and battery life) will be noticeably better, I think.

I've been playing around for the past couple of hours. You're right. Both performance and battery has noticeably improved. Finding and installing up to date APKs for the apps I use has been straightforward too.
I can not, in any way, get GPS to work (or at least to show it's working.) My phone cannot define its location. From what I've been reading, this seems to be a regular occurrence when Gapps hasn't been installed. Does anyone know of a way around this?

I think you need to have gapps to show the prompt about this location stuff to make it work. (Has something to do with OneTimeInitializer.apk if I remember correctly ^^)
So the workaround might be:
backup,
flash gapps,
then boot up and activate gps (answer the prompt of course ;D),
then reboot to recovery and
do an advanced restore (only system partition), so the data you need to activate gps stays unharmed.
Hope you understand me mate

I noticed you had changed kernels. I did that and got all of the problems you listed. Trust me, its not L its whatever kernel you're using or even user error. Even greenify works now, but most root apps require a permissive kernel...sounds like you don't have one possibly, if you are rooted there's an SELinux policy changer app that will at the click of a button, modify the kernel between enforced and permissive. I use code blue, FK didn't work for me. Also not sure this thread will be open much longer. All the best.
Try posting this in general in the Lollipop thread.

Chrome hasn't crashed once for me and Google keyboard pops up immediately as well.

Yea I don't have those problems either. I have had the keyboard predictions not come up some times though. I have also had the play music app bug which is really annoying me because I just bought some Bluetooth headphones and its ruining the hands free experience.

In recents/overview, after clearing all apps sometimes apps pop up if you tap the recents button again like Phone, Android System etc. Anyone else having this issue?

I'm having almost all those same problems as OP...I have it with FK. KitKat was way better and buttery smooth, no issues really. The one thing I really like about 5.0 is the lockscreen notifications..long overdue feature. Missing feature though: control time of music from lock screen.

There is something wrong with your image installation and or kernel and or phone.
I don't have any of the problems you listed after 2 days heavy use. My only complain is the lack of silent mode.

No offence mate, but calling this thread "all you need to know" is wrong.
I disagree with everything you said, having used heavily since about an hour after the image was posted by Google.
To suggest that your opinion is all people need to know is just plain wrong.
90% of root apps? Nonsense. Every root app I need works.
Crashes in chrome? None here. Same with all the gapps.
Most apps don't work proper? Really?
Launcher lags? Nope. And that word is thrown about all the time with no explanation or quantification.
You should at the least change the title of the thread.
