Watch has been off for a while. Camr back up, basically had to reset it.
Now Zenwatch Manager isn't even found in the play store, although I read another thread that said it caused the watch to be pretty slow. So maybe I'm not missing anything there.
Now I'm trying to install Our Groceries, and it says installing for a while and then finally quits and I have to need to click on unstall again. Seems it won't install.
Any thoughts?

Hi:
I have installed the JH7 update found here on xda. My phone is rooted with sideloading enabled. I will be honest, I have a ton of apps on my phone.
I have had SO many problems since the update. I had to re-install the update 3 times, because after HOURS of trying to enable sideloading it still wouldn't work. After the third install I was finally able to enable sideloading.
Now, my problem is, some apps are crashing as soon as I open them. The 2 biggest culprits are e-mail, and Shop Saavy. I click to open them, they open for between 1-5 seconds, then close.
Any thoughts? I am desperately trying to find an answer, I would hate to have to hard reset, since I have already spent in excess of 10 hours trying to get my phone to where it is now.
I did have task manager installed, but the problem persists even after uninstall. Also, I used task manager prior to the update with no problems.
Thanks so much!
PS: If I do have to hard reset, can I simply use Sprite backup to restore everything, or will there still be some things that need configuring (ie. home screen etc)?
Quick idea: Download ROM Manager from the Market and run "Fix Permissions." Sometimes that will clear up any force close issues.

Hi:
I tried your suggestion, but sadly, it didn't work
Thanks so much for your suggestion though!!
PS: The apps just close, I do not get an error message. I have found some posts with people with e-mail crashing issues, but it seems that they do get a force close message, and that it is Exchange related. I do not use exchange.
Now that you mention it, I have had the stock email client force close upon load a few times since the update, and it had never done that beforehand. Maybe try reflashing just the kernel?

Hi:
Sorry to be a dunce, but how do you reflash just the kernel, and will it delete everything (apps, data etc)?
Thanks so much!
My 2 cents:
I don't know why it took hours to enable sideloading, i spent only a few minutes - but that gives me the impression that something might seriously be broken.
I would back up everything you want to save and do a master reset - it will clear all data, but you hould be JH7 fresh. If you want to go further, you can reflash factory JF6 then update to JH7. Either way, make sure you check basic apps first before installing a bunch of stuff.
I don't subscribe to the blind grasping at straws method of fixing things. After to many hours it is just faster to rebuild. If you knew what was wrong, then fix it, but if you don't then rebuild.
I agree. If you are needing this to function properly now, then just reset back to factory and start over. But if you are like me and just have to know what is broken.....that could take a while. I always try to make sure I don't have anything on my phone I couldn't live without just for instances like this.
Flashing just the kernel can be done with Odin (search the forum). There is a "stock captivate kernel" floating around (I'd post it, but I'm sure we don't need files posted multiple times). Instructions are included in that post. Basically you need a computer, USB cable, drivers, and bollocks. However, as mentioned, this is a shot in the dark. Random force closes could be caused by a variety of issues ranging from corrupt software, file system inconsistencies, to hardware failure, phase of the moon, appetite level, etc....
The safest bet is to backup everything, flash stock (if needed) and take it back to AT&T for a replacement.
Good Luck!
Hi:
Thank you so much for the replies, and help.
I decided to go ahead and reflash JH7. This has fixed the entire problem. So, apparently it was software related.
I am now going to install all my apps one at a time, in order to find the culprit. Hopefully it is one I can live without lol.
Anyway, thanks again!
Did you ever figure out what app was causing this? I am starting to get annoyed with my force closes and was going to re-flash and re-add all apps.
Hi:
Well, I MAY have figured it out. I had a million programs installed, and it just seemed like too much work to try to figure it out.
So I just re-installed JH7, and started from scratch, so I'll never really know what the problem was.
However recently I started having the same problem again. Since I started from scratch I have been gradually installing programs, just in case one cased a problem.
Well, it seems my problem was Startup Manager. I did NOT disable any system programs etc..., but it was still causing apps to crash, as soon as I froze it with Titanium Backup Manager, the problem stopped.
So, if you happen to be using Startup Manager, I would try uninstalling/ disabling it. Or, if you use a task manager, try not using it, maybe it is stopping whatever Startup Manager was disabling on mine.
Anyway, I hope this was of some help.
Oops, sorry, the program causing my troubles is actually called Startup Auditor.

Hey guys
I seem to have this odd problem. A week or so ago my Official Twitter app had a update so I clicked update as i normally would. But a few hours later I noticed that it STILL said installing. I ended up uninstalling the app in my system setting and nothing changed. Now on the marketplace it always says installing twitter. It getting REALLY old now. Worst of all i cant get twitter back now because it thinks its installing. Any ideas??
Thanks,
-Cyg
It ends up with re-flashing the phone for me. :-D

I was having a problem installing my apps, a simple reboot seems to help cure the problem temporarily.
However, I'm looking for more of a long term solution, and if I find one, I'll be sure to let you in on it.
I have the same problem. I installed a couple of programs and after uninstalling them, the download section of my market app, shows the 2 apps installing and I have no option of cancelling them or some other way of getting rid of them. Its quite annoying and i dont know what to do.
Any help would be appreciated
Update: After a few days of this problem, I went to download a new app and it just got fixed by itself. Odd cuz Ive downloaded apps during this period and tried other things to fix it, but with no success. Thank god its fixed lol
Had the same issue with a couple of apps, usually this helps:
1. Force close market
2. Clear the market cache
3. Reboot your phone
4. Install the app
FIXED IT! Tried everything and nothing worked. But what did work was finding the app online and manually installing it from the SD card. POW!
Hi, every time I try removing apps via gear manager an error stating "Unfortunately, Gear Manager has stopped" I don't even get as far as selecting which ones to delete. I can literally click my apps, click the Bin symbol and it crashes and restarts gear manager
Has anyone else had this issue or know how to resolve it

Same problem here. Everything was fine until I ran the root gear 2. Was still able to get into 'My Apps' until I rebooted my phone (note 3, effortless custom ROM).
So far, I have uninstalled, reinstalled gear manager, re-paired gear 2 bluetooth, factory reset g2, etc.
Still no access. Still looking into it. Let me know if you figure something out..

No problem, sorry to hear you're having the same problem, mine occurred after putting a custom ROM on my phone, but then reverting back to stock, ever since, the only solution so far is to look to see if some of them can be removed under Application Manager which some can, but still leaves a lot of unused apps on my gear 2, which eventually will just fill up. Do you know if there's a way of looking through the files of the watch and simply deleting the .apk file and any other files that may be used? Thanks

Reset what?
If you mean the actually reset the watch and phone then that doesn't work
If you mean factory reset then that may be the answer and thank you if it does work
However it would be nice to know the actual reason in the first place why this happened and not just a work around
WP8.1 Weird Store Bug: App Stuck at "Installing", blocking other app Updates.
Ok, so I've a pretty bad bug that stopping me from updating my apps.
I decided to try Unified remote (though I think this could have happened to any app) and when it got to installing, progress bar at about 60%, it stopped.
I waited a while, nothing moved, I went to look at it in the app list and it was done. I opened it, used it for a bit, it was fine. Back to the store, and it still says "Installing".
When I long press the install, nothing happens. The element moves, but no options drop down to cancel or pause.
So I go ahead and restart my device, thinking this would clear it up. I forget about it for about a day, go back to check and it's still there!
Windows phone does VERY LITTLE in parallel, so apps only download one at a time, all waiting on the first to finish installing... so you can see where this is going, the app is still marked as "Installing" and all other apps are now "Pending".
I went ahead and deleted the app, and that didn't help. Restarted once more for good measure to no avail.
Long press again still gives me no options.
Anyone ever had a situation like this? Know of a way to unstick this app that does not include a device reset?
Appreciate any help.
Good morning everyone. I have been a long time lurker. Thanks to the incredibly talented people on this forum, I was able to root my phone about 8 months ago. Now I hope that someone here can help me. About a month ago I experienced a screen glitch. I picked up my phone one day and it suddenly had a black bar across the screen along with scrambled pixels. I tried to reboot, got stuck in loop. So I booted into twrp and did a full restore. Everything was working fine for a fee days, then I started to notice things were wrong. I can no longer get Bluetooth or my mobile hotspot to turn on. I click the button in settings and the widgets on my homescreen. They will slide to on back be greyed out. They never turn on, in fact if unleavened one of the settings, the slider is off again when I return to it. App in my apk drawer all say app not installed when I try to uninstall them. Uninstalling them with lucky patcher, google play (for official apps) and the built in "Make more storage" in settings, is the only way to uninstall apps. The apps setting crashes when I try to uninstall through that. The only way to install 3rd party apk files is through lucky patcher. I have cleared cache files and data in apps that had it. Bluetooth widget app along with some other apps always show 0.00 data. When I try to open my data usage setting it informs me that there is no activity found for this action. Hardware test show that Bluetooth is fine, I am suspecting serious software failure. I have even tried a factory reset a few times to no avail. Thank you again for all of your hard work and I hope some of you will be able to guide me through at least some of my problem. Btw, I have not installed any custom roms. I had xposed a few weeks before my problems started. After realizing how much space it used up along with the tweaks, I decided to remove it. I am in no way saying that xposed is to blame, just stating that I had it installed at one point. One more thing, I have searched the forum and google, for solutions to individual issues. Tried all the things I read to do. I'm still on lollipop also. HTC sync doesn't recognize my phone as being connected either
