Apps acting strange - Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers

So I'm having this issue that just started today. The dice app I use is not picking the location I selected on the map, no matter what it always selects the entire us map. And with the ziprecruiter app, it will not stay logged in. Even after I login, it will log right back out. I haven't reinstalled the apps but I'm just wondering if anyone had this issue and how they fixed it short of restoring the phone

Did you try clearing the apps data and resetting the permissions? Also, try clearing google play services and the google apps data as well. they are responsible for location.

Google Voice FC. Google Earth?

My brother-in-law received his incredible yesterday (I am a Nexus One owner) and I got him set up with Google Voice when starting up the application we get to a screen that says something to the effect of "an application needs to access your google voice credentials for this account". I hit the accept radio button and hit "Next" and it always force closes. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app, but to no avail. This was the one downloaded from the Market as the phone did not come with it pre-installed. Has anyone else had this issue? Could anyone help me figure out what the issue is?
Also, I was unable to find google earth in the Market on his phone. I was able to find it just fine from mine. What is the deal with that?

I was able to load it no problems. I also had to download it from the market. Try to factory default your device and start over.

That seems to have cleared it up. Thanks for the help.

Anyone using Maps 5.3.1/Latitude and can't check in?

I have a very strange problem with my Atrix.
When I upgraded to 5.3.0 Maps I was able to use the check in feature...Then it mysteriously disappeared from Google Maps. I was able to get it back by re-installing and updating google maps again...and then it disappeared again in about a week. Short of downloading and reinstalling Google maps every 7 days I want to find out if this is a problem on my phone, or someone else has noticed similar behavior.
--Edit--
One thing I just tried was going into Application Manager and clearing all the data (Then having to re-log in)...This brought check-in options back.
did it again
This morning my check-in ability is gone...Even clearing the data, rebooting the phone and reinstalling the applicaton updates did not fix it this time.

Unable to download from Android Market Place

Hi,
I am unable to download anything from Market Place.
Whenever I want to download anything from Market Place, the tab will show "Download".
However, even when I press download, I was always prompted the error message, "Error proccessing purchase". I would like to state that I am downloading free app, not paid app.
I have to do a workaround, by going to web-based Market Place to "Install" the app.
Afterwhich, when I go back to my Market Place, the same app which I had problem downloading would be shown "Install", instead of "Download".
And when I click on "install", the download will go through with nowproblem.
At the same time, I have no problem updating all my exisitng apps.
I have tried clearing the data, but the problem still persist.
May I know what would happen if I do a factory reset?
Can I do a Titanium Backup and do a factory reset after that?
And if a factory reset, doesn't help, I'll just restore my system data.
Thanks guys, hope someone can help.
Are you on the stock Rom?
This has happened to me also, a solution (that didn't work for me) was to remove your google account, clear the cache and market data, then re-add your google account. I still have the problem but I have a google account and a google apps account, when the downloads don't work on my google account, I just use my google apps account.
I had this happen too, I did the same as the above post^

I've not noticed any problems lately (beyond the usual having to refresh a few times to get a page to load, and having to power cycle or disconnect and reconnect wifi to get an app to start installing).
I had this exact issue about 5 weeks ago.
After exchanging emails with Google Tech folks, it was determined that my Google Talk account had logged out.
They said that your market is tied to your google talk account.
I went through, deleted everything, re-added my google account, and made sure the GTalk was working, and bam, market began working.
I have a google apps account too.
Thanks guys for the response.
I tried removing my google account, cleared the cache and data, and re-added my google account, it still failed to work.
This is really frustrating. However, I was able to download Angry Bird Rios just now.
The funny thing was, the tab was showing "Install", instead of the usual "Free".
I am thinking that the probable reason why it was showing "Install", instead of "Free" was because I used to have this game in my account.

but i am still getting nowhere with all the solutions provided.
jus tried to log in the my google talk account, it's still the same.
now i am seeing viber with the "Install" tab on my Market, whereas the rest of the other apps are showing "Free".
I had the same issue, and the only way I was able to fix it was with a factory reset. I backed up all of my non-system apps with Titanium Backup, then wiped my data. When going back to restore apps and data, just let the Market re-download any apps you have backed up to your account, and use Titanium Backup only to restore the missing apps and data.
That would be my next suggestion. Complete backup, wipe, and reinstall. Once reinstalled, be careful not to click install more than once on an app -- this seems (to me) to cause instability. If an app doesn't start installing a few seconds after you hit the install button, disconnect and reconnect your wifi. If that doesn't clear it (although it always does, for me) an alternate method is to completely cold-boot the tablet.

[Q] Apps Autoupdate Stopped Updating

Stock, non-rooted GN3. Verizon. Stock launcher. 4.4.2.
I've noticed in the last week or so, possibly more, that even though I have "Auto-update Apps on WiFi only" enabled, as I have since getting the phone last fall, it no longer Auto-updates at all.
I can open the Play Store, go to 'My Apps' and there is a list of Apps there waiting to be updated.
The only change I've made, which was made at least a month ago, and which I'm fairly sure predates this behavior, was to stop Google Search from autoupdating by unchecking the appropriate box. (It created some problems with my Bluetooth devices, taking over response away from S-Voice which I preferred, and some other issues).
My WiFi connection is solid.
I've turned off (through the usual methods) a small number of apps (Audible, Caller Name ID, Group Play, Isis Mobile Wallet, NFL Mobile, S Health, Slacker, Voice Mail).
Any idea what is causing this behavior, and how I can fix it?
(As a secondary item, it seems I can no longer access the option to enable or disable auto-update for an individual app - has this been moved or changed? I go to the App in the play store, and nothing happens when I hit the menu button at the bottom left, which is where I thought I remembered accessing that option before.)
Well, I found the answer at Android Central. Went to Google Play Store in Applications in settings, and cleared Cache and Data. Restarted the Play Store App, and everything returned to normal.
Not sure what happened to the Play Store App itself, but something had gone awry there, and the data/cache clear reset it.
Mystery solved.

WOW! PlayStore won't connect, can't login! First time ever!!!! How can I ??

This is insane!
I go to playstore to check updates. It says "Error checking updates". I repeat the process and get frustrated. I clear data on playstore and go to add my account again only it brings up the side menu and when I move that out of the way, it says "try again". I hit that button and the menu slides back out! And I repeat this process and get frustrated.
So I did all the cache clearing, data clearing stuff for play, play services. I have no download manager. And still this problem.
I did not and will not remove and try to add my google account again because then I might lose access to my contacts. In fact, I haven't even checked if they still sync. If they don't, I suppose I could do that.
Other than that, what can I do?
This is the craziest thing I've ever seen.

Lol hello again sir
Go to www.gooogle.com/contacts
From any web browser, are your contacts in place?
Guessing you haven't but reboot your phone, cycle your WiFi and see if anything prompts you to sign in or sync.
Then go to settings/ accounts / Google and make sure it's allowed and syncing, check both sync and Google
Re-open Google play and see if it's working.
Oh and perhaps change WiFi to another or test on mobile data if you don't have a second signal to use.
=) Thanx for your help. I can get contacts in a browser. I rebooted a couple times, did wifi and mobile, and nothing. It syncs everything in the account as well. I just can't use play store. I cleared data and cache on playstore and services. And I can access play from a browser; so I didn't get banned or something. It's specific to this phone, it occurred sometime after the update to the latest firmware. I'm not sure if it's related.

Only thing I can think of would be to wipe all play services, store then reinstall.
This has happened before?
First time.... What is the best way to restore this stuff on the stock ROM w/o factory reset?

So you can usually clear data on all Google services.
But if that doesn't work then boot to recovery and just wipe system, not the whole phone.
This will mean you have to set up your phone again but your storage will remain unaffected. So images, files, music won't be touched
