When I get the message up in the notification area that "Updates are available".
It seems to display something along the lines of "Updates are available &&n&p".
Or something along those lines. What the hell is the rubbish after available all about? It's driving me nuts.
And it doesn't take much to drive me nuts let me tell you
Between the update message weirdness and the Unfortunately gaaps has stopped crap whenever I boot back up etc. Arghh. And don't get me started on the remote restore function using ADB which doesn't seem to work anymore since the latest update.
OK rant over But seriously. What's up with the "Updates are available" message?
I did perform a factory reset BTW. Which is when I found out remote restore seems to be broken.

it means that you have some apps that have updates available in the play store. you can turn off the notification in the play store settings, then they wont bug you.
I knew what the message meant I just don't know what the rest of the gobbledygook is after the word available.

when you did the factory reset.. Did you do this in custom recovery or in settings on the tablet.. Are you stock ?
Did you use anything to restore your apps such as ti backup adb restore (does not always work).
If you are on a custom rom or have been in the past.. I would suggest you do a FULL Format of your tablet system cache dalvic DATA and all...reboot the tab back into recovery adb push stock new downloaded rom to tab or use usb otg and flash brand new rom... Then see if you still have issues.. DO NOT RESTORE A BACKUP you could be putting the issues back on device..
The way the NO SD Card devices use data. you can have issues linger from a older rom or pop up after flashing.
Be CAUTIOUS ABOUT DELETING DATA ON This device. IT WILL WIPE A DOWNLOADED ROM.. and otg storage with twrp or adb push will be required to get a rom back on device to flash..
Good Luck..
No mate. Just on rooted stock.
I initiated the restore from within settings I believe.
I did two backups originally just in case.
One from ADB and one from My Backup Pro.
It backed up fine using ADB. When restoring it, I had the initial quick reboot. Then when I had the restore my data screen on the Nexus, I hit the Restore button and the Nexus rebooted back to the home screen.
The PC restore was running, but nothing got restored.
I then gave up and restored using My Backup Pro.
But after restoring everything. I keep getting the Gaaps has stopped message.
So time to backup my games and wipe again in the future.
I'll then restore everything else direct from the Play Store, to hopefully get rid off the Google Apps problem.
As for the weird symbols after the Updates are available message, they have been there since 4.2.1 though.
Looks like I'm putting up with this.
I'll grab it on a screen grab eventually

It does sound like there is something in your backups that is stopping them from restoring.. Make sure when you restore a backup you are restoring APPS AND APP DATA ONLY.. not system data and system apps.. Such as google apps being system apps.. This often restores old data on top new and causes big issues. With the fcs really sounds like this is the case..
I Think a Good WIPE and Fresh flash will help you out...

OK, just to add to this, I saw exactly this "updates available amp&n&p" notification this evening . . . . but on my HTC One X, which is stock, unrooted.
The apps updating are: -
ConvertPad
HDWidgets
SoundHound
WhatsApp
Facebook
Doubt its related, but the WhatsApp update bugged out. That was probably my 3g connection though, which is patchy round here.

It seems my suspicions were correct concerning the &&anp or whatever it is that gets displayed at the end of the Updates are available message you get in the notifications are from the Play Store.
I noticed that my Samsung Galaxy S3 is showing the same thing.
It's gotta be a Play Store bug.
Because my S3 is running 4.11 and my Nexus 7 is running 4.2.1.
It almost looks like variables not getting parsed correctly.
As this only happens when there is more than one update available it seems.
And both my devices are on different versions of Jelly Bean.
And I still can't grab the screen fast enough. As you never know when the updates notifications from the Play Store will appear.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
Why are the notifications not staying in the drop down?
Do you have the market Set to auto update, otherwise I have to hit the notification in order to open the store.
Unless you aren't talking about the notification area but the the ticker in the status bar up top?

The market app was running fine this afternoon but tonight it stopped working. Apps will show as Downloading and the download icon will momentarily show up in the notification bar (for less than a second). After the icon disappears, the status changes to Download Unsuccessful.
This is happening on every app (new installs and updates). I cleared the data and cache of the Market app and rebooted a few times but I get the same result. I assume this has to be a Market issue...
Same issue here.

The market servers are located in south Korea. If you don't know whats happening down there, you don't deserve a working market...
I don't think this plays nice with this phone, probably not a fault with Titanium, rather with Samsung. Restored my phone today as a test and got force closes on camera. Restored cam app again no joy, factory reset clearing cache as well, still no joy. Finally had to re-flash a rom using ODIN from scratch to resolve the issue.
What was odd was that when I did a factory reset it kept the screen res I set in LCD density suggesting it was not actually resetting fully, this was a surprise to me.
I've come from a nexus one and did a titanium of it before I switched (to save all my life's work eg angry birds saves....)
This worked cool just restoring individual apps but yeah I thought I'd be clever and restore call log etc that didn't work.

I have stopped using this app on my GS2 due to similar issues I was having with it. But with this mobile becoming so popular, I have no doubt TB will be updated to work properly with it in the near future.
Its been well posted Titanium backup restore apps only .I have found no trouble that what in countless restores .
I also copy of via root explorer the apps folder to PC so i have a backup of the app that are clean .

Ok I am having a weird issue with my new Atrix.
I am having icons of stuff I downloaded and added to the home screens disappear randomly.
Everything was fine all day, then I just went into my phone and noticed 4 icons on one screen were missing. The apps are still installed, just gone off the home screen. Not all of them on that screen dissappeared, just some of them.
Has anyone else had this happen to them? If so, what did you do to fix it?
I've had my widgets disappear but not shortcuts. This usually only happens after a crash and random reboot. I flash different roms alot though so don't know if this is a stock problem.

I'm actually just running the stock launcher the Atrix comes with.
I would love to have the stock GB launcher like what comes on the Nexus S. But I don't think you can just download that from the market.
Go launcher is way better, I suggest you try it. ADW and Launcher pro also have free versions which are much better than motoblur.
Ive had this happen as well. My snes emulator was missing. My phone actually uninstalled it. Hadto reinstall through titanium backup.

ya for me it's the same 3 icons in the same place.
Today I moved all my stuff to a different home screen to see what would happen, and it still did the same thing.
I don't know if this is a GB issue or not. My Atrix already had GB on it when I got it.
I wonder if trying a different launcher would help. I was hoping to avoid using a different run cause I am fine with the stock launcher. I am not sure what launcher to try out. I used to use LauncherPro when I still had a Captivate cause I think TouchWiz looks like it was designed by a 10 year old. But LP seems a bit dated, hasn't been updated in awhile and it just too plain.
I was looking at Go Launcher, that seems like a popular one which offers alot.
Go Launcher used to do this to me all the time. figured out it was happening when the screen was being redrawn going from landscape to portrait mode. each time I would switch modes some icons would be gone and some would come back. theyve fixed this bug finally though in the last couple of versions...
I think when you update an app there's a chance it does this. Im sure there's more to the story but I am stock and its doing as you described but on the left screen from center

I had this problem and it happened fairly often on reboots/power on. Mine wouldnt even show in the app drawer. Tracked it down to apps that were either installed in the Media Area (internal sd card) or External sd card. It usually happened if i started messing with the phone before everything fully loaded. If i waited a little they would eventually show up, sometimes.
If the problem apps are in the Media try moving them back and see if it still happens. I had a lot of apps in Media and external so I ended up doing a back up and then reformatting internal/external storage, then restoring. I haven't had the problem since, but i did move to GB and custom rom about 2 weeks afterwards, so that could have helped also.
I had a similar issue after unlocking my phone and installing a custom kernel. Revert to a lower version of pudding (unlock sbf file) and restore original kernel if u have one

Ok some news to report.
I exchanged my Atrix for another one, and set up a new Motoblur account when I first booted the new phone.
Now for some reason my icons are not disappearing. It's been a day so far and everything is fine.
I don't now if it was the new phone or the new Motoblur account which made the difference. I am thinking it might be the new phone though.
If it starts happening again I'll post another reply.
So when ics ota is avaliable on my phone, I'm going to update it. But I have one serious question: do I need to factory reset my phone? I heard that I don't need to but if I don't, my phone will get very sluggish because of the old os fragmentation or something... Is this true? Do you think I should erase all my data and apps to update? (ps. I'm not rooted) I actually have mybackup pro, but does that restore apps and data of the app? Some said that it does and some said it doesn't. I want to make sure.
Thanks so much.

If you have a locked bootloader and you have a straight stock GB rom, with the apps and so on you have downloaded from market, you should have no issues. All apps and data should still be there on ICS.
I highly doubt mybackuppro can backup all apps/data on a non-rooted phone, so i wouldn't rely on it.
Keep in mind however it is still a fairly large upgrade and it is ALWAYS best to backup the data you need most (SMSs, contacts (if not synced), photos, videos, music and so on), even it's on the SDCard. Also note that if your bootloader is locked (no padlock on boot) you don't have any option to do a full backup at all. Unlocking it will get rid of ALL personal data. Only way forward is through the update.
So let me get this straight...
I should factory reset my Nexus S and I don't need to worry about apps and data of the app because Google will do that for me? Well that's very convenient! And I don't really care about media cuz everything is on my computer which I can just copy it back to phone.
Thanks a lot man! Now I can rely on Google for all my apps ;-)

I get the feeling that's *not* what Harbb said
If I'm correct... Harbb is saying
1) you don't need to factory reset your phone
2) theoretically, your data and apps should be safe on your phone
3) but for safety, you should backup all your stuff
Sorry kyokeun, i forgot to say that you should NOT factory reset. kto_matchu hit the nail on the head.
Every flash has it's risks, even the most minor ones. Although nothing should go wrong for you, and i highly doubt it will, there is always a chance. For your situation though, the only way to get to ICS is to go through it without a full backup - however doing so definitely doesn't need a data/factory reset.
OK, thanks guys :-D

I did mine using the downloaded OTA, and it was fine. I am running a stock, non-rooted and non-unlocked NS. However, I did backup my "SDcard" contents, SMS's and call logs prior to the update. There were no issues at all with the update process.
OK thanks. My sms and contacts are backed up and all I'm worrying is just apps and data.

I'm assuming it has something to do with something i froze in titanium backup however instead of going through each one one by one and going through a bunch of test text messages to figure it out i'm turning to the community.
Does anyone know which service allows the pop-up to happen?

I don't always get it, either. Seems to only pop up if I'm on my home screen. Been meaning to ask a few friends to text me back so I can test it out.
