I have been running Android 2.2 on my Defy (34.179.2.MB525.Retail.en.CEE) since it came out, and never had any problems with the Market app. Couple of weeks ago the new Market (version 3.1.3) has been automagically updated on my device, and it's so slow I can't believe it. It takes 10-20 seconds to start up (compared to the instant launch of the previous one), and another half minute or more to display my installed apps (but the thumbnail icons take another couple of minutes to load).
I have tried to delete all data and cache of the app, but it didn't help at all. Even tried downgrading to the previous version (2.12), but after some time it gets updated again unfortunately.
Any ideas how to speed it up or at least prevent it from upgrading?
Same here. I'm using the market version 3.1.3 since yesterday and I'm very disappointed. I can't even update any apps, because it's just "loading". I've cleaned the data of the market and then it worked for 1 time, but now it's "loading" again.
If I kill the market app, it just loads fine ... But that's not so comfortable.

Ok, so not quite murdered, but close! I just recently (a week or so ago) rooted my Incredible and went with CyanogenMod 6.1 (RC2) and I love it and downloaded all my apps and had everything set up just how I wanted it. Until a few days ago. Several apps, specifically:
Angry Birds (Seasons)
Thinkfree Office Lite
Pocket Legends
And Cestos 2
Just stopped working. In fact they wont even open, they all crash on startup with a message saying:
The application LauncherPro (process android.process.acore) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. (Yes, LauncherPro is crashing too)
And then the same message comes up only with the angry birds process (or whatever application I'm trying to open.)
I've reinstalled all 4 of them twice, they all seem to be on my SD card, and each time it happens (and it ONLY happens to these 4 apps, every time) the icons for the apps don't show, just the default green android icon.
Thanks in advance
Sorry, I don't have a direct answer, but I have a very similar situation as of 1-20-11..
Wifes DInc did the same thing. Bone stock, not even rooted.. Battery was allowed to run all the way down until the phone shutdown automatically. She put it in on the charger, and then booted it 15 minutes later..
Getting multiple FCs on startup, Lookout and Task Killer are always FC, many shortcuts are missing, and many apps won'tlaunch becuase the are no longer there, or because the FC right from the get go.
Re-installing them seems to fix the issue..
I am a dummy on this phone.. I did a little reading on other forums and some have had this problem after switching batteries.
But feeling is that during a power failure the SD is prone to corruption.. I am assuming most market apps are stored on the SD..
I RMA'd my first GNex last August with a cracked screen, the one I got back had some problems:
Camera App crashes. Sometimes on startup, other times after a few seconds, and occasionally it doesn't crash until after I've been able to take a full photosphere, but usually the first two. It shows force close screen.
Netflix crashes after a few seconds to a few minutes. It does not show a force close screen, it just restarts the app.
Youtube won't load videos and when it does, it gives an error after a few seconds or minutes.
All flashlight/torch apps crash either on startup or after a few seconds.
I got tired of this, and didn't want to deal with Verizon's ****ty RMA service again, and since it seemed like it could be a software problem, I chose to root it and try to fix it with a custom ROM. I flashed CM9 and the problem persisted. Thinking it was too late to go back, I've just dealt with it until like a week ago.
Then I heard that a 4.2 update was coming to the VZW GNex, and returned to stock using this method (Would hyperlink, but don't have post count. It's the first result when you google, "Return to Factory State (Unroot and Relock) site:rootzwiki.com" without quotes. I flashed the JB files). Shockingly, the camera, Netflix, YouTube, and flashlight apps worked. However, when the 4.2 update came along, it broke everything again.
So that brings me to my questions:
Does anyone know of any way to fix this? Preferably without rerooting, but I'm still up for that if necessary.
Would I still be under warranty if I followed the linked method for unrooting?
EDIT: I'd also like to add that music playback is interrupted when either the camera or the flashlight app crashes.

I'm already stock...
To reiterate: About a week ago I unrooted and flashed a stock 4.1 rom that fixed everything. When I got the OTA update to 4.2 everything broke again.
I also just did this, and it worked for a minute or so, but the apps are back to crashing now.
So, this has been bugging me for some time now, but this morning I've had enough. What happens is that I put apps to update trough the Google Play store, and my phone becomes really slow and the download/install speed is even worse. I just put about 12 apps to update, all small apps. It took the phone almost an hour to update and there were still 4 left that weren't. Tried using FB Messenger to talk to my GF and the phone just hanged and wouldn't respond for at least a minute.
I've had the Redmi Note 3 from my GF for a while, and that thing installed apps like nothing. It was really fast and as soon it downloaded the installation started and almost instantly finished. Compared to my G4, it was a pleasure to watch that.
Is anyone else having similar problems? I have a H815 bootloader unlocked with Genisys Rom 2.2.1 on it. And, I've had this problem on every stock based MM and LP ROM, tho not sure if I had it on a CM or AOSP based ROM.
After about 1,5 weeks of usage, the camera cannot be started anymore since a few hours.
Rebooted a few times already. There is a popup stating that the "camera could not be started, either reboot or restart the camera".
It worked a few hours ago and since then nothing happened with the phone.
I cleared the cache of the "camera" app and made a fresh start. Other camera apps also do not work.
What happened? :/
EDIT: I did a factory reset and the camera is working again...
Just out of curiosity what build were you on when this happened. I only noticed the problem after I updated to the latest update version ending in .225.
The only way I was able to fix it was by powering off the phone and then powering it back on because clearing the cache/restarting it didn't work. It worked fine for a while after the first power off but then it started giving me the same error after a few hours. So now I powered off a second time and it's been about 12 hours since and so far no issues....
Next time, take a bug report from developer settings, and post it in their official forum.
Had the same problem twice in the first week of the phone, looks like hang after U use the super slowmo and dont close the app. at least was both times after using the slowmo and just locking the phone
Just started getting this error in the last few days. Most of the time a reboot fixes the issue. Sometimes it takes several reboots. BTW, I did the most recent software update a couple weeks ago.
Had the same issue, it also causes a battery drain.
The app BetterBatteryStats showed a 100% kernel wakelocks of the process "Sony,camera_modules".
My battery drained from 100 to 40% in 4 hours with just 10 minute screentime.
I've expierenced camera cannot be started error now 8 times, rebooting temporary solves the problem...
Hopefully a OTA update will solve this problem.
Hi, i have the same problem with latest .225 built
Camera works but black screen, and after 3 or 4 times crashed.
The only fix is wait an update by sony??
Me too. Same problem. I had to Factory reset. It pissed me off....
Now sometimes it appears but i reboot and then goes back .
I confirm i have the same problem with the latest firmware but i have it one time with an old one to. For me it's happens when i close the camera app while i have the phone on horizontal. Some time to recover i just open the camera with the phone horizontally but sometimes i need to clear data and restart the phone to make it work again XD
Maybe the wrong thread, but is there a way to take motion photos (like in gcam) on the XZ2 Compact?

I had something that sounds like this only yesterday.
Mxplayer and my keyboard app would open and then close within a second. The whole UI had a periodic flicker to it as well. I checked running services and then battery management. Both apps mentioned had high power consumption so l put them to sleep and the UI was better for 1 minute.
For the first time in years I've switched from 2 of my favourite apps and the problem is gone. I'm not happy that I've had to do this on a new phone on official software.
This was out of the blue, the only thing I can think of is a Google services update screwed something up. Nothing else on the phone changed but for a services or play store update.
EDIT: following @toothfairy's link I updated system webview and tried a newer version of touchpal (I know, banned from play store. firewall will eventually cut them off) and all seems good there again.
I'm actually liking VLC for the moment so mxplayer can wait for another test.
