[Q] Unable to Download from AndroidMarket

Hi,
I have this issue for the past one week.
The APP downloads starts and stalls. The downloads are stuck at 'Starting Download'. I have been using captivate for the past one month, everything was ok until past one week.
I am unable to figure out whether the issue is with my mobile or something to do with my gmail account.... No idea.
Can someone help me?
Thanks in advance.

Well, I've uninstalled google talk application. Is this creating an issue?

Google talk is in some way used by the market, though I am unsure exactly how...
Generally the fix to this issue would be to go into settings, applications, manage applications, and then clear cache/clear data/force close the following apps: Market, Google Talk, checkin service.
Then reboot phone.
Unfortunately you have installed google talk... Oops ;-) don't know what to tell you there.
If you installed with Titanium Backup, donate and then restore, if you installed by some other method you may be able to sideload an apk of google talk on to your phone...

I too am unable to install anything, it started last last night and still going on.

Happened to me this morning at 4am. When i tried updating google earth. Now nothing will download nor install.

Shut off the phone. Hold down the up and down volume button and then press the on/off button... When the phone comes on, keep holding the up/down button and relesae the on/off button. A screen will pop up and then you can release the volume button. Using the up/down volume button, scroll down to clear the cache... then hit the on/off button. That may help...

nope didnt solve it. thanks though

Is there a difference between using wifi and 3g? I know that sometimes the market will refuse to intall via wifi and then i just use airplane mode kill the market turn off airplane mode and then use 3g to download. It fixes the issue most of the time.

[Q] Power button is not locking/turning off screen but works to bring up power menu.

So this morning I picked up my Note 4, used it normally to check emails, etc, went to turn off/lock screen and it wouldn't respond at all. I held down the power button and then it brings up the power menu, I restarted a few times and still nothing. Is my power button defective or could some setting have automatically changed the settings?

Go to *#0*# and select Sub-Key. Press every physical button on the Note 4 one by one (Volume Up, Volume Down, Home Button, Power Button On, Power Button Off). If the end result is PASS, then you're Power button is fine. Can also be a sticky / tacky power button, or something you modded in the settings.

Just did the test, every button turned a different color, volume up (gray) volume down (green), menu (brown), home (blue) back (purple) , power (red, is this a fail?) but I didnt get any PASS. Is the power button supposed to have 2 colors, one for on and one for off? I tried holding down the power button but that brings up the power menu.
Also noticed that the screen will not dim or turn off automatically.
Update: I ended up doing a reinstall of the stock fw through Odin and it fixed it. I wonder what caused it and where those settings/issue where stored? I had tried doing a reset from within settings, but as I understand, that doesn't clear ALL the data.

I know how it feels when the diagnostic doesn't yield a pass. Glad to hear that reflashing the stock firmware resolved it though. Could have been something deep in the firmware causing this. Keep us updated if it persists again. The power button has been a culprit of problems in the past for many as well in previous Note devices. The final result should have displayed "PASS" on the display, perhaps you didn't complete the task, that's okay. Sometimes simply clearing the cache instead of factory reset could have resolved the problem as well. Samsung is notorious time to time.

I have a Note 4 too and since a few days I have been noticing this issue. The power button doesn't wake the screen up. I have to fiddle around the button a little bit, press it a bit harder sometimes and then it works.
Also noticed that when this happens, I unlock the phone using the Home button and when I try to use the power button then nothing happens. Keeping the power button pressed doesn't give me the reboot/boot options either until I fiddle with it.
The strange this is, one it starts working, i can use it again and again until I leave the phone aside until sometime and then the power button does nothing until i repeat fiddling it.

Also ran the test : *#0*# and select Sub-Key
All buttons work except the power button but again if I press hard and try to nudge the button a little bit, I saw the colour change to RED. No PASS either.

Do you have any xposed modules installed? I had this happen with either gravitybox or wanam when I tried to tinker with the power menus. *3.

No. Everything is stock and not rooted either.

In my case, a complete wipe to factory fixed the issue for me and never had the issue since then, but it kind of sounds like you may have a hardware issue.

that's what I'm thinking too hw issue. But once it starts to work it works perfectly even pressing the button lightly. If the phone's been idle for a while that's when it starts. But anyway, I'll do the basics, factory reset and then bring it over to the carrier shop. Hate to send it away as its not that long ago i got the phone.
Thanks for all the help/comments.

I just started having the same problem myself. I think I'm going good to buy the right now. For the power button and have it installed.

I am having the exact same problem , did you manage to solve it ?

No. But I've been using the phone less as in on holidays and noticed it hadn't been happening much. If issue still persists I'll bring the phone back to the carrier for a repair/replacement as it's still under warranty.

For the first few days power button worked occasionally now it has stopped working completely.

The working of button changes with temperature. With a little heating with hair dryer the button started working.

I agree with the temperature because when I was in holidays the issue didn't happen and Iwas in a hot country with 35 deg C. Weird, so was my Note 4 built for Middle East?!?

My power button has started working 100% normal from falling the hw test earlier.

I did a full factory reset and it appeared to work but after restoring all my apps and using it for a couple of days it started again. Brought it to the carrier to get it fixed as is still under warranty. They said it was a faulty "electrical component" which they replaced. Got the phone back and I restored all the apps. I have the problem again. I don't trust the carrier to have fixed the issue as it was intermitten in the first place. The button works continuously once it's stays working until I leave it aside for a while. I'll have to bring it back again and wait for a week!
I'll keep you posted.

My note 4 problem is whenever I remove the charger it went out and behave as it wants to start up and as soon as I replaced the charger I can turn it on and it stays on. Someone please help me with this

[Q] Upgraded 176CX is very slow

I have upgraded my Asus 176CX to Android 5.0. Although I like the new version, the responses inside the applications (and mainly simple games) is not good. The start time of the applications is 2-3 times slower than the older and slower Asus MemoPad 7 HD!
Any ideas how to fix that?

Mine too. Have you tried factory reset without automatic restore?
I did it and now it's much faster, almost as much as before the update. The game's still stuttering quite a bit but not as laggy as before.
The main problem I have is the screen seems to have lower contrast than in 4.4.2 and sometimes the colour just goes washed out and then return to normal. Especially when switching apps. But sometimes it just does that for no obvious reason.
Also the amount of bloatware just went through the roof and I can't disable or delete them like before.
To anyone passing by: Hold on for a bit. As far as I'm concern the only good thing I can find in this update is native support of USB Audio.

What do you mean by "Automatic Restore"?
Also, after the factory reset, how did you re-installed the apps? I don't want to loose my data, I have some apps (not just games), like for example my Lufthansa app with all my data and Boarding Passes etc that I really need.
The bloatware is a lot. I cannot disable most of it. One of the good things: The backup application.

In Backup & reset you'll have 2 choices called
- Back up my data
- Automatic restore - which will restore your apps along with settings after factory reset. But to be sure that it deletes all files that might cause the device to slow down I'll disable it.
And yes, after factory reset with this option disable you will have to reinstall all your apps and all your data will be gone. So make sure you back up everything you need before doing it.
WARNING: If you have important data like boarding pass in your airliner app then I wouldn't suggest you do the factory reset because even if you enable both "backup my data" and "automatic restore" there's still some risk that data in some apps might not come back.
Back to the issue of device slowing down, another way to fix it is format cache partition. This is the safest way to fix the problem without losing all your data, apps or any settings but I really can't find a way to do it.
Edit: Found it!
Here's how you do it:
- Turn off your device.
- Hold down "volume down" then press power button until it turns on.... at this point continue holding the volume down button.
- After you enter fastboot mode, release the volume down button.
- Use volume up or down to navigate the menu, select "RECOVERY" then press power to choose.
- It will show the belly up droid, don't panic.
- Press volume up and power simultaneously, hold them down for about a second then release them. If this doesn't work try holding down a bit longer. You will get in to recovery menu.
- Use volume up or down to navigate the menu, select "wipe cache partition" then press power to choose.
- Wait until it says "Cache wipe complete." on the bottom of the screen.
- Choose "reboot system now".
Try this first and if it doesn't fix your problem I'm afraid you'll have to factory reset your tablet.

Having the same issue. Apparently if the phone is not rooted everything works just well...

hi
for fix this problems please run this points:
Step 1: Reboot your phone in safe mode to know if it stillpattern or pin screen lock takes about 3-5 seconds to verify
Starting the phone up in safe mode will temporarily disable all third-party apps and if one of them is causing the problem, then it should lag or freeze in that state. In which case, all you have to do is find the app that’s causing the problem to fix it.
Power off your Galaxy J7. Press and hold the Power key, tap Power off and then touch POWER OFF to confirm.
Press and hold the Power key past the screen with the device name.
When ‘SAMSUNG’ appears on the screen, release the Power key.
Immediately after releasing the Power key, press and hold the Volume down key.
Continue to hold the Volume down key until the device finishes restarting.
Safe mode will display in the bottom left corner of the screen.
Release the Volume down key when you see ‘Safe Mode’.
Finding the culprit is easy to do but if you have a lot of apps, it becomes really challenging. So, begin your search with apps that you installed close to the time the problem started. Once found, you may try clearing its cache and data first but if that doesn’t work, then you have to uninstall it. Please take note that clearing the cache and data may delete your settings for that app as well as the data you’ve accumulated.
From any Home screen, tap the Apps icon.
Tap Settings.
Tap Applications.
Tap Application manager.
Tap suspected app.
Tap Storage.
Tap Clear cache.
Tap Clear data and then tap OK.
You may have to uninstall more than one app to find the problem so be patient.
Step 2: Wipe cache partition so caches will be replaced
System caches that are corrupt or obsolete can also cause this kind of problem or any other performance issues. It’s recommended you delete them from time to time so they will be replaced with new ones but since you really don’t have access to individual caches, you just have to delete all of them at once and you can do that by booting your device up in recovery mode:
Turn off the device.
Press and hold the Volume Up key and the Home key, then press and hold the Power key.
When the device logo screen displays, release only the Power key
When the Android logo displays, release all keys (‘Installing system update’ will show for about 30 – 60 seconds before showing the Android system recovery menu options).
Press the Volume down key several times key to highlight ‘wipe cache partition.’
Press the Power key to select.
Press the Volume down key to highlight ‘yes’ and press the Power key to select.
When the wipe cache partition is complete, ‘Reboot system now’ is highlighted.
Press the Power key to restart the device.
Once the phone becomes active and ready, try to observe it if the freezes and lags are still there and if so, then you have no other choice but to reset your device.

It also happens, I just changed the kernel and you're done

Or you can upon installing the ROM via TWRP flash "no-verity-opt-encrypt", allow it to boot and then flash Magisk. Just checked - the unlock works fast and the root is intact.

same lag
the same issue here
help please

Same Problem face but when input customer rom then problem slob but if I input customer then full charge by long time.

I have faced the slimier problem and I have tried all possible methods suggested on internet event the steps defined above but no luck. Here's only two thinks you can do about this problem.
1. Do not use PIN/Password/Pattern but use Fingerprints. It will not lags when you use Fingerprint to unlock your device.
2. Hence it's only happens when you root your mobile so you have to flash your mobile with original ROM (easily available on internet) to unroot your device. After unroot it won't lags.
Apparently there is nothing more you can do about this issue.

Navagation Bar freezing

I am on pie stable and since "updating" every now and then when using an app the nav bar just does not respond. The rest of the screen is ok but cant get back to the nav bar to move things.
I have tried going into setting during the freeze to change to gestures but this does nothing.
Is this a Pie glitch or something with certain apps.
Saw a screen freeze thread but that had gone on to talk about battery things.

The same happen here sometimes...

Me too... Really annoying. (I concluded that leaving certain apps open are NOT the problem, happens on home screen too)

I have the same problem and is awaiting Nokias help desks response...
Have any of you solved this problem?
Purchased my Nokia 7 Plus in mediamarkt.de last week, so it's brand new. This crap bothers me though and it's my 3rd Nokia in a year. Has HMD turned Nokia into ****?

When it happens go into settings -> system-> about phone. That wakes up the navbar, but it will probably freeze again at some point.

I also have this since a few weeks (siince the update to pie).
Already tried Factory Reset and on advice of Nokia i tried Safe mode, but the last was a problem for me.
You only get real androidone, with only google apps.
So my token app (multifactor authentication for work and for private) where not available, just liek a few other needed apps.
I had to reboot again to go back to normal.
Now i have cleared the cache via a fastboot option, but did that this evening, so i have to wait again for locking up.
For others who want to try:
* Safe mode: Press power button until you see the power menu.
Press AND HOLD for 2 seconds the button Power Off and the system wil reboot to Safe mode
* Clear cache (it sounds strange, but seems to work):
1) Turn off the device
2) connect it to a power source using the original charger
3) Press and hold both power key and volume up key
4) When the android logo pop up, release the power key (keep holding the volume up key)
5) when the android alien laying of the floor appear release the volume key up
6) hold the power key and press one time the volume up key
7) use the volume keys to navigate and power key to select
8) select*run graphic test*-> yes
9) select reboot system now. Verify if it works properly.
During the clear cache actions, i got an error first, but the system then did the update again and worked (whatever update it was).

After using the phone for 48 hours now, without any problems with the button bar, i suppose that above actions did really solve this problem.
I can advise anyone with this problem, to try this solution (clear cache via Graphics test)
New Info:
Really to bad, 24 hours after writing the above, the button bar got stuck again.
But i could get it free via System Settings -> System -> About Phone
As told by another person in this thread.
I really thought the problem was gone.
Already informed Nokia/HMD Global about this.
