I need help with market - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So, I've been running the same stuff since I got my replacement. Stock, deodexed ec05, with maddoggin's simply blue theme/6 lok mod, and nubecoder's droid charge boot animation. All of a sudden, the market is fcing on me. I tried clearing data/cache, and fixing permissions in cwm. Nothing. It starts to load, then fc's. Any ideas?

Have you tried replacing the Vending.apk (market app)? If not pull one from a ROM and try replacing the one currently on your phone.

I just tried replcing it with the vending.apk frm the theme .zip. I deleted the old one, and pasted the "new" one in system/app with es file explorer, then mounted as read only. Then tried to open, it fc'd. I turned it off, booted into cwm, tried to fix permissions, and when I reboted, it fc'd upon startup. i'd be happy if I could keep the themed market, but I'll settle for regular I it'll work again. If you could paste the vending.apk for me, that'd be great. I'm on my phone, so icant really dowload a whole rom. I gotta get sleep lol

Try just flashing a theme that includes a themed market. It should overwrite whatever is wrong with your market plus give you a themed market.

I flashed the theme again, and its still fcing. I don't understand why its doing this, it was working fine earlier. Right now, I just need a working market, Idc about color.

Sorry for triple post. I flashed the transparent market. Its fcing too. Is it possible that there is some bad data that I can delete with ES file explorer?

Have you tried to get on gmail? The market requires an active account and maybe that is what is causing the fc. Guessing at this point. If gmail fc's clear data in that then clear the market data and try.

Strange market issue

I am unable to download from the market. If i search for an app and find it in the results list and tap on it the screen flashes black then to white and says loading and then right back to the results list. Ive tried clearing the cache and data in manage applications with no luck. It was working fine a few days ago and the only thing ive changed was to turn journaling on. Any ideas?

Try clearing Market cache and data under settings/applications, and then clearing all apps' cache with an app2sd type program. This may have helped me when I was having another type of market issue.
Thanks for the reply but i've already tried that. I believe the market got messed up on a freeze and battery pull. I was able to replace it with a themed version and all is good. Just need to source the oem apk

Was this a market that you got because it came with a ROM or did you push a new version. I would suggest flashing a new market to the device and trying to see if that can solve the issue
The one i replaced was the original. The market I used to replace it was not from a rom, its one in the themes and apps forum

Anyone figured out how to get this working? Mine works perfect on my Evo w deck 1.2.1 rom and my wife has an epic 4g. I looked for the vtokapp that a friend uses on his Droid 3 but it doesn't show up in epic 4g market. Any help would be appreciated

Search the market for Root Talk Installer, it contains the fix to get it working.
root 1.3 talk installer did not work for me. First it failed to backup, I went on anyway since i could just odin again and then after it downloaded it failed to copy to system. I tested root with sdx stock app remover and it worked fine.
I flashed this in clockwork from an attachment in this thread and it seems to be working, i still haven't made a video call yet though

This is from my Evo. You will know if its working for you because it will have a camcorder icon beside all u can video chat w. Would you mind looking at your g.talk to confirm u have a camcorder?

Thats the problem none of my friends have video enabled so i can't just tell right away if it is working.
the interface that i have looks like that though and that is different than the basic one the stock rom came with.
If I tap my name i have the option to 'allow video and voice chats'

Thats strange All I did was this
Rename stock to talk.bak
try root talk 1.3 installer and fail
boot into clockwork and flash zip
reboot and talk was there and working.
one strange thing that happened in the middle after i had gotten rid of the old talk.apk i was still receiving messages and they showed up in my notification bar however clicking on them did nothing since i had no talk app to open.
edit: side note, it is dumb that talk doesn't synchronize across phone and gmail at same time like google voice does. ex: I just sent a message from my phone and it didn't show up in the conversation on gmail desktop.
I uninstalled talk (keeping the titanium backup) and then flashed it in clockwork. Nothing appeared after booting. I then restored the back up, browsed on the other thread for a while and decided to try another apk. Uninstalled talk again, flashed the second version, and still nothing. O well. I don't really need it and am fine with waiting.
Also tried flashing the latest zip from the Gtalk video thread. No joy. App works until you try to initiate a video call. Force closes.
EG22, rooted, installed busybox.

Has anyone got this to work on a stock rooted epic, all programs I've either don't install or force close when you try to do the video call.
Yes , google sgs apk

Google app process fc - gtalk not working

So I let my phones battery die all the way accidentally then this morning in getting some Google services fc and gtalk won't open. I'm on randomrom phoenix 2.2 rooted, everything else working perfectly, and battery life has been amazing. I tried reclaiming (after backup of course). To no avail and tried flashing a gapps.zip but that didn't help either. any ideas?

Use Titanium and go to Google Services Framework and clear data.
Thank you so much!! Went ahead and did that, GTalk loaded right up!!

Does this fix, at least temporarily, all of the FC issues when on GB? Something this simple? I quit using the GB roms because those nasty FC issues.

Alot of apps say not compatible...

Having an issue with one of my epics that half of the stuff in the market says not compatible, but on the other epic its fine. I know i downloaded this market enabler app and it ended up messing up my phone and im sure thats the issue, but since then i completely restored the market and all the market apps. It's still messed up. Does anyone have any idea on how to fix this without wiping the complete phone?
Check your build.prop and see what your device is listed as. A text editor can view it.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
already done that, everything in build prop says epic.
Can you list some of these apps so I can verify it is not just a market error? The same thing happened right after the EI22 OTA. It takes Google a week to catch up on new firmware.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Another question is are you using an app to change your LCD density? I had done so and a lot of apps said not compatible until I set to default and rebooted.

Well thats a interesting point.... i have my lcd density edited just via my build prop. im going to change it back and see if that fixes it.
edit: changing my density from 200 back to 240 doesn't fix the problem
I've had this problem before... ultimately google talk kept saying failed login. More than likely messed up data somewhere. I ended up flashing rom and delete all data dalvic and cache. When I tried to advance restore data from cwm this problem came back. Best to restore from titanium or my backup.

Do you mean it didn't wipe data or didn't fix the market problem? You should have to accept terms and conditions in market again to show it wiped data. As for apps still being incompatible, you need to Odin back to stock, something got out of whack...probably still something in the build.prop.
it wiped data, still didnt work. My build prop is fine. its the same as my other epic that works fine. same rom same everything. only different is one is on boost and one is on VM

Just one day it started showing the device as incompatible whereas the other device is not. Any apps that were compatible at one time? This happened to me with HBOGO then a week later it cleared up, like Google had to fix something.

[Q] SOLVED-Apps not gone after flash?!

Ever since I've started flashing ROMs, I've become accustomed to jumping on the market and re-installing all the apps that were deleted during the wipe process. No problem really, I like the idea of a fresh install. However, oddly enough, since flashing Ev1lArt's Wicked v7 and now his JB v3 Roms, the apps from the store persist. Third party apks are still in my downloads and I can re-install them, but the ones from the market instantly start downloading and updating once the phone is done booting up.
On one hand, I think it's fantastic! No more searching the store for all the apps I want.
On the other hand I'm concerned this is an indication of something gone wrong.
If anybody has any insight, I'd be very grateful. Thanks!
Edit: Another question/afterthought. When I went from Wicked v7 (ICS) to v3 (JB) I used Odin and the root66 tar for a clean JB install. I was under the impression partitions would be re-allocated during this process, but there was no PIT file and the instructions are very clear about which boxes to check (ie, don't check re-partition). Am I missing something? Are PIT files not necessary going from ICS to JB? Also interesting to note, when I booted up after ODIN, my apps, wallpapers, Nova Launcher setup etc were all still there. I thought the point of doing a fresh ODIN install was to get the phone to an "out of the box" condition.
Am I just a worry wort? Should I just be happy that some Android magic has saved me some hassle? Thanks again.
Google is supposed to back up what was on your phone and then red download it (restore) from the play store. Downloads always stay, unless you wipe it.
When you say "wipe it", do you mean wipe data/factory reset in recovery? Cuz I always do that.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
That doesn't wipe storage/sdcard. The folders you see when you plug into a computer. Uninstalling apps also doesn't delete those folders
On some roms when you flash on the locations setup screen it will ask if you want to restore your apps from google play...if you leave it checked it well immediately start downloading your apps based off your google account...
Googles backs your data up always when flashing a new rom fireup the play store and go throught the log in thingy there will be an option that you can tick it says "keep my phone backed up whit google" simply untick and voila... its no issue at all trust me

If you are a little paranoid and want a true clean install, wipe system in recovery before you install your preferred rom. The Google restore had been hit and miss for me over the years so I stopped checking the box and relied on titanium backup. Sounds like it is working better now.
