Hello,
I have recently begun to experience a major problem with my G1 running the latest builds of Cyanogenmod (currently 4.2.11 but I have had the problem with the last few versions). What happens is that for some reason some apps force close right when I attempt to start them (Google Voice, or any app that has a camera running when it opens) and other apps can not connect to the internet. When I open apps like Pandora or Wapedia it says "A network error occured" or "Could not connect to the servers."
The weirdest part is that not all apps are affected. I can still access the internet through the default browser, and the gmail app. Also the default camera and camcorder apps do not force close and work perfectly. In addition these problems do not arrise for some time after a reinstall.
I have wiped and reinstalled different versions and even started over flashing an HTC update and then returning to a cyanogenmod version. I have wiped all the partitions on my SD card for apps2SD and recreated them. However due to the nature of the problem I have guessed it is some problem with Apps2SD but I cant figure out what it is. I have run the fix_permissions script, and attempted to remove/rebuild the market/app cache.
If anyone knows anything about how to fix this or has experience this before themselves any help would be really awesome. If any more information is needed to help diagnose this problem I will gladly post it.
Thanks again and sorry for the wall of text.
Sorry for self-bumping my post but I would really like some help because I have done everything I know of to fix the problem and looked around the internet for help but I haven't found anything similar to my problem.
Thanks
Im having this problem too and i have no idea what to do about it lol
I have tried several different 2.2 builds on my (AT&T) HTC Pure. Most of what is supposed to work does, and it's fun to play with. However, what's really holding me back is an inability to download anything from the Android Maket. I can sign-in and browse just fine, but when I "Install" something and go to the downloads tab, all I find are apps that say "Starting Download" with a perpetually cycling progress bar. I've let it run for 15 minutes and never got anything to actually download. I do not have a data-plan, so I use wifi. I have verified that wifi works.
I have also noticed that I cannot sign into gTalk. I've seen several posts suggesting that once you sign into gTalk, that I'd be able to download apps (and vice-versa), but so far, neither of these applications/features is working for me.
The latest install I've tried is XDANDROID.2.2.AOSP.FRX01.17.09.10.UPDATE_PACKAGE.7z and it still has this problem.
Has anybody else gotten around this problem and have some advice???
I tried using my phone to create a new google account, and that worked, but I still couldn't download.
Happened to me as well. I just forgot about it, and after a while I got an alert that one of the apps is now installed (and indeed working). The other apps on the list hanged as well, and took a lot of time to start downloading.
Seems like a nasty bug to me.
it's a small comfort to know I'm not alone, but I still haven't seen anything download successfully, and as long as I can't install new apps (from the market), there's really no point in using [XD]Android.
Try settings/applications/manage applications/market 'all tab' and force stop. Clear cache. Clear data. So next time you use market it is like new and downloads and installs without hanging etc. Your downloads tab should still have a record of apps you downloaded.

thanks anunna, but that didn't work. I tried downloading the apks for App Brain and the associated "Fast Web Installer" and copying to my device (storage card), but that doesn't seem to work any better. I guess those apps still depend on Android Market to download.
aarrrrrghh. so frustrating... I have now installed Rhod.2.2BLAZN.092610 with the new builds from 9/25 (hw 3d included), and still have this problem. Does anybody have any ideas?? I dont' see how this could be device-specific. ?? I've tried different gmail accounts, different builds, and different wifi networks. The only thing I haven't tried (and can't really) is accessing market over 3G. I say "can't" because I actually have a data-block on my phone to prevent unintentional use and associated charges.
Does anybody have any advice for troubleshooting ?
thanks.
BTW, this is what worries me about WP7: one source for all your apps = single point of failure.
I'll just keep updating my own thread here...
Installed the latest build from 9/28, and nothing's changed.
This time, I went straight into Google Talk and got stuck on the "signing in" screen. Eventually it came back with a message stating, "Could not connect to server. Will retry shortly." This is bogus though, since I can do nearly everything else on the internet, via my wifi connection.
I have the same problem. Android Market doesn't download any software, "Starting Download..." stage never ends...
ashway, have you tried opening Google Talk? Also, do you have a data plan on your phone (3G)?

I haven't try Google Talk yet, will try later. I do have a data plan, do you mean that Market works via 3G and doesn't through WiFi?
I have a data-block on my phone (so I don't accidentally rack up per Kb charges), so I access everything via WiFi. I've seen people suggesting that toggling between wifi or cellular can get it to work, but that's not an option fo me.

I have tested 3G data connection and Market works just fine, but still no success via WiFi.

BOO! so, I'm out of luck??
(thanks for your update though)
Has anybody been able to download from A.M. over WiFi without ever using 3g?
It just happened to me while i'm updating a few apps. I did some research and found an article and follow that way. what you need to do is to un-install the app that you're updating. after that, forced close the Market app and clear the cache. then try again to install it from market. well, it works for me.
by the way, there's also another bug that make Market FC every time when u download an app. if it happen to you, just open Setting>Applications>Manage Application> Market and click "Uninstall Updates".
I am in Malaysia and I have this problem too. It is either "Starting Download...", "Download Unsuccessful" or "Download Paused" message.
I'd tried both 3G (3 different telcos; Vodafone while in NZ, Optus while in AU and Maxis in MY)and WiFi (different AP; at least 10). While connected, I can do everything except for download apps from Market. Also tried signing in different Gmail account.
Being desperate, I tried to install Apps via "adb install" command. Guess what, I couldn't uninstall my apps (both using "adb uninstall" and "Settings > Application > AppName > Uninstall"). It force close everytime I tried.
I got OTA updates for FRG83 twice hoping it will fix my Market problem, but it did not install because it can't. When I tried sdcard:update.zip, I got status 7 error. Some livewallpaperspicker.odex error. Tried searching for the odex but couldn't find one specifically for Nexus One.
Also tried rooting my phone and install ROM Manager. Performed a Fix Permission issue (which it claims often fix Force Close message; one friend recommended this too) and all I got is "An error occurred while attempting to run privellege...". I am sure it is rooted with Superuser Permissions showing "Allow" status. To confirm, I had Move2SD installed and able to port most apps to SD without the developer setting the option.
Just want to share this with all of you that have this problem. Is there anyone can help? The only thing that makes me keep this phone is because its a gift from my wife. Or else I would just get something else.
guys I have the same problem as you do! something I noticed though is that the phone doesnot recognise my SD card and market is downloading the apps on the card . can you pls check your sd card if they are mounted and recognized propperly!
restarting the phone and letting the card mount propperly fixed the adnroid market download freeze issue

brafun, are you using XDAndroid on a TD2/Pure? Were you experiencing problems only when using wifi? do you have a cellular data plan/connection? Does wifi download work now? I'm a bit confused, since XDAndroid is installed on my SD, I don't see how you can have Android running without recognizing it.
thanks

Your guess is as good as mine but the fact is that when I was trying to download an app the behaviour was exactly the same as you described it! It said Starting Download and froze at that point. Cleaning the Cache of market didnt help at all. THen I just started looking for reasons why is this happening, and in "SD card and phone storage" I saw that the SD card was marked as not mounted... check yours and see what it says
I seem to gave a rather interesting issue with my phone. Firstly, I'm running Cognition 2.3b6. When I first put this ROM on my phone I could install apps from the market over WiFi, but I'm now unable to. The last program I install was FTPFileTransferFree and used it to transfer a file over WiFi from my computer. I can still install apps from the market over 3G, and presumably EDGE as well. When I try over WiFi it'll download the file, but then won't do anything with it. Never seen, heard, or had this happen on other builds so it seems like it's just me. Anything I can do to fix it other than wiping my phone and reinstalling? That is rather drastic for such a trivial problem.

You changed your android id? Try clearing the market cache and try again.

Hi all,
In the Settings menu, under social, since upgrading to 1.0.1 and rooting, I now get an "invalid parameter!" error. Under 1.0 and root, I did not have this error and was able to link my Google account. Has anyone else had this issue, and if so, what did you do to resolve it.
Thanks
Kim
Having the same issue. +1 to looking for anyone with any knowledge on how to resolve.
I had same issue. I unrooted, did a factory rest and it was still there. I updated firmware...still there. RE-rooted...still there. Un-rooted, called support, and after an hour on the phone following their instructions I was told to return it to the store (within return period).
I have updated firmware and rooted this one with no problem with the Social section under Settings.

Interesting. I also have the same problem in my 1.0.1 rooted version. but I haven't had this problem in my 1.0.0 versions (both stock & rooted) of my NC.
I hope that this will not be a hardware problem...
I just noticed mine is doing the same thing after rooting. Does anyone else experience this problem?

My girlfriend just got off the phone with tech support cause of this problem. Her nook was working awesome after the update but she had to do a factory reset for another issue and when it came back on, thats when she saw invalid parameters. Long story short, they couldnt resolve the issue and they're making her mail her nook back so she can get a new one. Oh and her nook was never rooted so this problem isn't just for the rooted nooks.
+1 worked initially but at some point since rooted 'invalid parameters' is all that appears now.
none of the usual solutions (unroot, reset, wipe, etc) have made a scrap of difference. Maybe a settings file somewhere on the device that doesn't get replaced after reset/wipe which is hard to believe. Only way to find it might be to compare to stock NC with/without the problem.
I haven't noticed any other issues though. Perhaps the problems lies in a cookie or session type ID that is linked to the nook but resides on the servers.
hoping someone smarter than me (not difficult) finds an answer.
Same problem here. Firmware 1.0.1 with autonook. The message will show even after complete format. I called customer support and after 10 minutes the guy told me that his supervisor informed him that several people are calling with the same problem an that the issue will be resolved with an update in the future. I'm going for an exchange anyway.
if anybody has it working on a rooted 1.0.0 or a 1.0.1 version can you use ADB and pull the /data/data/com.bn.nook.social folder and possibly post it up here?
My nc is rooted on 1.0.1 and Social does the error thing, and this is what the above file contains:
databases/
recommendations.db
webview.db
webviewCache.db
No other folders in the main one or anything. I think there should be a shared_prefs folder out there...
Check the files first for any sensitive password info!
- Will.
Mine started doing this after my last reset, so I upped it back to 1.0.1 and it still continued. I figured I did it with the root, but then I asked the guy at the store if he had heard of it. He said that they have had a few complaints about it, and that only a few of the devices with the issue had been rooted. So, it seems it has something to do with the original firmware.
He seems to think that if you setup Social, then reset and deregister, the setting isn't getting cleared (the guy is pretty savvy at our store). He has been keeping an unofficial tally, and said that he will ask others that have the problem if they did the same thing.
I agree, that sounds like the sequence of events that led to it happening for me.
I exchanged my unit about 2 weeks ago, rerooted to 1.0.1 and it still works as of today (knock on wood).
One thing I do remember before the problem, is the fact that I had task manager setup to kill the social app. Maybe this corrupted something inside the file system and led to the problem.

good find works awesome
For some strange reason, Spotify no longer seems to recognize my phone's internal storage. I'm unable to listen to the radio and the following error pops up: 'No SD Card Found: We found no place to store our data, please check that you have a working SD card and free space". This started occurring after I upgraded to Mike's ARHD 10 (and remained after I upgraded again to 10.1). I tried Googling the issue, but couldn't find a single instance of anyone facing a similar problem. I'm fairly certain the rom is not to blame since no one else mentioned anything related to this--plus, the rom has been awesome thus far (just like Mike's earlier versions). I tried fixing permissions, and even re-installing rom after performing a full wipe. I also should mention that after uninstalling then re-installing Spotify, the app seems to run fine for a little while--but the error will rear its ugly head again after I try to open the app again at a later time . Also, I am able to access my internal SD card without a problem via ES File Explorer and everything looks about right when I go to Settings > Storage.
Any help would be appreciated
I get the same message when trying to start Spotify on my stock Gnexus. All other apps using internal storage works fine.
I have now uninstalled and reinstalled Spotify and for now it works fine, but I have to download all offline lists again

Thanks for the response. I started to receive this error (fairly recently) when I installed or updated my current rom. I got tired of having to keep re-installing the Spotify app, so eventually I went into Settings and decided to 'Delete cache and saved data' for the heck of it. This might not exactly be a feasible option for those who have a paid subscription and actual saved data, but I have yet to receive the same error again. :highfive:

Same issue here on my S4 (found this thread through the Spotify community... funny how us XDA members always end up troubleshooting products, lol). I was on Slimbean and thought it was the rom. Restored my stock Nandroid and got the same error a few hours later. Apparently, this will happen again later. Just wanted to chime in with my experience.
Same on HTC One. Put Sentinel rom on over the weekend, re-downloaded all my playlists and it worked fine on Monday...this morning, get the SD card message.
I was looking at where all my space was last night since I put Sentinel on and there was about 1.5gb in a Spotify folder under sdcard/data...the folder has gone.
I will re-install Spotify and see what happens.

It's been my experience in my past two and a half years here at XDA that the developers of ROMs and homebrew usually find a solution before the actual app developers do. In this case, there was a thread in the spotify support forum. That led me here. *shrug* it's how we do.

I come to XDA to find workarounds but when I pay (subscribe to) for something I expect the devs to work on a solution, I think the people working at spotify would like to hear about your problem too, because you can help them but many other people would just give up on them...

Spotify has many issues with android and the sd card error problem,i personally read the spotify forums and there are hundreds if not thousands having the same error spotify really should get there act together and fix this after all it is a paid service and you should be getting what you pay for.
What i did was put a new sd card in formatted it using the phone and kept spotify out,everything worked fine,so my advice for now would be to avoid spotify at all costs as you lose everything thats on the card as well ,at least until they fix this bug,of which we are all having to pay for
