Apps can't save data - AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok, so I have a rooted note 3. Everything seemed fine. Flashed the stock Lollipop rom from the thread here on XDA. Flashed the OC1 and OC2 updates. Phone boots fine and is working great except for one thing. I tried adding the swiftkey app, and it loads fine, but it doesn't automatically install the language pack. When I try to download the language pack from within swiftkey, it downloads, but says that it can't save it. This also happens with other apps that have downloadable content within them (boot animations app, rom manager app, Zedge app, etc). Does anyone have any ideas on what would cause this. Had rooted phones for many years, and never had this sort of problem.
Thanks in advance.

You need to run an app that will allow the SD card to be used for storage. I use next app SD card fix.

Apps won't install since frf83 update

Since I've updated from modaco's frf72 r18 rom to the latest r19 rom I can't install any apps... not just from the market, but directly from my sd too.
I ideally would like to go back to the stock rom with no mods.

I have factory reset/wiped and reverted to the FRF83 stock rom - and now the majority of apps install. The only apps that won't install are Google apps - like Google Sky Map and Google Earth, and the Mod Install Location app which I really need. Any explanation for this?
I've been having random issues running the same ROM but only apps I try to install from the Market. They'll download then just sit there. Sometimes they will install and sometimes they won't.

I've been getting the exact same thing on FRF50, FRF72 and now FRF83!
I can manually install from SDcard 'Download' when the Market install process stalls after download, but this obviously doesn't then update the app status on Market 'My Downloads'.
I've done the usual clear data form the Market app, reboot & login method to no avail. Very frustrating
Any ideas much appreciated!
This happens to me with apps from my SD card too.

[NEW] Android Market v2.2.6

For those of you who didn't already know, a new Android Market was released today! The Market was updated to v2.2.6. It will gradually roll out to different phones. Those of you who want it now can install it with this easy .apk file.
Download
Click here
Have fun!
I installed after deleting the existing market apk. It force closes every time I try to use it. I cannot move it or copy it to system apps. I can put it in either internal memory or on the SD card. I can accept market terms and start it but then it force closes. I tried clearing data, cache and rebooting but same force close every time. I did not delete market updater apk. Any suggestions? I have the original market reinstalled until I can come up with a solution.
Woah, that's a huge change. o.o
I recommend getting the sgs tools app from the market. It has this included now and you don't have to worry about sideloading or moving the apk with a file manager or adv commands. The new market is really nice.
This is my captivate. There are many like it buy this one is mine.
works on cm6.1 beta 3
Worked on Perception 8. Just copied it over to my sdcard and installed it using the normal installer. Thanks man! It looks awesome.

Looks/works well but where's the update all button? Does it only appear only when there are more than one apps to update?

Works and looks great on Captivate and I also suggest using SGS Tools FTW.

New market seems like a step backwards in some ways. I can see the need to reduce the refund time, but 15 minutes is nuts. Also, removing the tabs? That's just a mess.
Bring the tabs back, and make refund time 3 hours, and I'm a happy guy.
I also think it's a step backwards in a lot of ways. Yeah, that nice green design header looks cool... but it dominates the damn screen. Annoying!

Update: Tried to go back to original version via SGS tools restore script and lost Market completely.
Reinstalled new apk via droid explorer and it reappeared, and now search functionality works as expected.

Yea... but you can scroll around and lose the header once you start browsing.
Didn't have any issues after installing it - search feature worked.
Just downloaded straight onto my phone and used the base installer (no droid explorer, astro etc..) and it worked fine.
Also you get the "update all" on the top button under your downloads if you have multiple updates - which I did
Thanks again for this.

disconnect apps from market

hi there....i did not found anything about...so i want to ask:
does anyone know how to disconnect apps from market. i do not want a launcher update or a gmaps update...because of free memory problems.
want to keep gmaps 4.7 on the milestone....every version above sucks....
so if i could disconnect it...autoupdates an notifications could keeps its function
bye
greets from germany
great question, i would like to know the same thing too, I do not want to install the newest facebook updates, but the market keeps showing me updates available.
it´s more an annoyance than a problem, really - but if there IS a way to "fix" it, then I would like to know
If your device is rooted, use root explorer to pull the app's apk file from data/apps to a folder somewhere on your sd card. Then, uninstall the app, and sideload the apps you pulled out earlier. It will not have a connection to the market this way.
Sent from my MB526 using XDA App
in other words: make a copy of apk, uninstall, mv backuped apk to old place?
unfortunately, that does not work. at least it does not ALWAYS work.
because that is exactly what I already did - I hated the new Facebook app, so I downloaded the old version 1.5.2 APK from our german Android forums, and sideloaded it - but it still shows up in the Market with the red "update" text beside it.
just found something, that seems to work.
go to market, cklick update, abort download, --> disconnect
worked for me 2 times now. but i use froyo with old market...do not know if it works for the new ones.
Not move backup back into data/app, but install the apk from SD.

Titanium Backup can detach and reattach apps from the market. Do a long press on the app to get the menu with that option.

[Q] Trouble with paid Apps?

I picked up two HTC One devices today as soon as the Sprint Store opened. I have as of yet not be able to download any previously purchased paid applications.
This includes several rather expensive EA games, that just say "Not Compatible with your Device" which doesn't even allow me to download to my device. (Mass Effect Infiltrator and Need for Speed shift come to mind first)
All other paid apps seem to download, but fail to install. (such as Weatherbug Elite and Minecraft Pocket Edition) I've tried from phone, as well as the Google Play website on my PC.
I'm in the US, on Sprint. Tried both WIFI and 3g.
Has anyone else encountered this problem? If so, did you find a solution?
Thank you in advance.
For the ones that say not compatible: wait until compatibility is added. I've come across the same multiple times and some never gained compatibility with my device. That is on the app developer, not the app store
For the other issues, go to settings>apps>all
Delete cache and data for both Google play store and Google framework services and force stop both. That should fix

Thanks for the quick reply. I did both things you suggested. Once I cleared and force stopped, I had to restart the phone, as I kept getting the "No Connection" error on the Play Store, on both WiFi and Sprint.
Once I rebooted, I attempted to install another paid app, and it again failed. The error is "Couldn't Install on USB storage or SD card." (again I can install any other app that I didn't pay for)
If its important I did root, I'm running TWRP recovery and ViperRom 1.0.
Same problem on stock root Rom. My friend is unrooted and the same apps install fine

You could try installing esfile manager on your old phone that the apps work on and backing up the apps to the sd card then copy the backed up apk to the HTC one to install it might not work but I have done this many of times with my EVO 3d ans my touch pad

That's on deodexed roms only. It may be a permissions issue. The apks themselves install fine from your sdcard if you have them.

The current idea is this:
Downloading paid apps requires writing a temp file to mnt/.asec/
But the issue is, mnt is read only.
It should be fixed in no time. Vipers the man.

It's not always a temp file. In the case of Swiftkey the actual apk is in mnt/. Asec. I was able to pull it from my dna and install from my card.

Malware?????!!!?!?!?

Okay, so here's how it goes. And keep note: I have an SD card installed at all times. Also thanks again if anyone can help even though this isn't really ROM-related...
I installed an app called Luck Patcher. It modifies apps via root. I know there are risks with modding an app (could add whatever the app wants like malware or adware without me knowing) but I was using it to get rid of ads on some apps that were ad-ridden! But, eventually the app Lucky Patcher started showing notification ads also. So, I tapped and held down on the notification and tap the crossed out alarm icon to silence it. (You know--in Lollipop). Anyway, another ad came up after a while, and I tried to do as before--hold down the notification and silence it. But I must have accidentally tapped it. But the ad was a Chinese app to install. So, since the Lucky Patcher app uses root, the Chinese app-ad downloaded and installed on its own! Then, immediately after installation, Avast popped up saying the app was malware. So I deleted it. And then forgot about it. Now, a week later, I completely wiped my Nook and installed a new ROM to breath some new life again (my nook needed a refreshment). Now, after that was done, I installed Clean Master (I don't use it to wipe RAM) and there was 1.3 GB of some Chinese stuff!! (Screenshot attached) I was wondering after I saw that... Since the app installed itself (root from Lucky Patcher) is it still on my system? But it can't, I would think, since my nook's internal storage looked normal after a wipe.... So is this app somewhere on my nook in the boot and storing junk on my SD card? (Since that is the only place where the 1.3 GB could have been) Thanks for anyone's advice...
P.S. I did the wipe for my nook by using a bootable CWM on another SD card (not with 1.3 GB on it) and formatted /system to completely start over, as well as a factory/data reset. So I wouldn't think that it is still on my Nook? And I have tried multiple scanners, but my Nook comes up clean... Thanks again
P.P.S. Is the "animal sounds" (screenshot attachment) some more adware? Because I have never downloaded or used anything that has to to with animals!!
Sent from my BN Nook HD using XDA Free mobile app
Edit: it sounds like I do have malware. Or more like aggressive adware. I made sure to wipe and format everything a couple of times and install a ROM during the middle of the wipings... It's called Kemoge malware. Everything sounds like what i had. Lesson learned... But any more advice on the manner?
