Is the Android market currently down for anyone? (21 Aug 2010)

Is anyone able to access the marketplace? I'm in the Asia region, but not sure if it matters. Me and another guy are unable to get into the marketplace. Anyone else having the same issue? HTC Desire.

It's down for me too, and o thought it was just my ROM!

Godamnit, I hit the clear data button because I thought it was a ROM thing too even though it has been working fine the past week.

I'm unable to access downloads or search but everything else is fine. They're probably just doing mandatory maintenance or something, if not well.... >:O

It's down for me in Canada as well. Moreover, the Nav app says Navigation is not available in my area LOL
I just used it few hours ago. Someone forgot to feed the hamsters I think.

Down in Australia as well.
Crazy eh? I cant go 5 minutes without the Market.
Imagine what would happen if everything Google failed at once?
Josh.

Down here too (Italy), I'm using an N1 with the latest Cyanogen... I thought it was the build and re-installed the stock rom but same issue

Maybe a revamped Market is in order?
That or someone is getting fired tomorrow
EDIT: I just realized how addicted I am

It's up now. No change at all though.

Engadget loading really slow

For some reason engadget does not load or it is very very slow
this happens time to time on other sites also.
yahoo/google load up fast as anything but there are lags on other sites.
anyone else having this problem?

Hrm... Miren will not load anything for me right now,
I opened "web" and google/engadget/yahoo etc came right up. That is annoying...
Edit: wtf Miren working fine on Wifi. Tried clearing Miren data I can get to google and google stuff, but can't get engadget or newegg or yahoo to load.
Edit2: Well than I tried Web again and it didn't load so it appears I may be having data issues anyway at the moment.

I wasn't, this is the first problem I have had but I typically have poor data at work (i work in a school, giant brick enclosure) and so far the Skyrocket has been wayyy better at work but today I had some data issues. I haven't had a chance yet to mess with it more.

awesome speeds are def consistent now!

This is happening to the Vivid as well I was told ATT was working on a fix

hmm seems im not the only one with a problem, i damn near went to best buy to swap the thing for another.

Called AT&T, they asked me if I can try that sim out on a Vivid at the store to see if I get the same problems. If it does, they'll swap out the sims or if it doesn't, they'll swap the phones. I know it's not the phones. They even said themselves that the "pta" network is brand new so they're still working out the kinks.
I wouldn't have called if the "change your APN" settings had working MMS capabilities. It doesnt, and I really do need that.

Just went and swapped out for a new vivid and LTE sim card. Same problems. Me and the rep checked the 4 phones on display, 2 skyrockets and 2 vivids , all were showing the same problems.
This is in Frederick, MD.

[APP] Latest Google Wallet Aug/01/2012

Pulled this from my Nexus 7. Works on my Nexus S running latest Jellybro Kang. Thought I would share as this version lets you use more than just a Citi or prepaid card.
Version R1.5-R75-v6.apk

I'm not on the nexus s, but do you know if this will work without a data connection? I know the n7 doesn't need one but my gnex does. I'm wondering if you need data for this version to work on a phone.

I keep getting a error when opening the app. Says "movie network or phone not supported" how do I fix this? I'm using adamg jellybelly!
Sent from my Nexus S

Maybe I should give it a try.

I just uninstalled and reinstalled. No issues here. Also, I believe it does need data as payment info is stored in the cloud instead of the device itself.

Hmmm... I wonder why it works for the nexus 7 but wouldn't work like that for a phone. I tried to use wallet on my phone in a store the other day and in the middle of authentication I lost signal and had to start over. I may test pulling the wallet apk off my n7 and try installing on my phone to see if it works the same. Thanks guys!

How about networks other than Sprint and AT&T?
Does anybody know if this works on T-Mobile or other "blocked" networks?
Currently I am running the version patched by MoDaCo (1.1-R63-v12 See this thread) on my T-Mobile Nexus S. Unfortunately, this revision doesn't implement the new functionality to use cards other than Mastercard.
Does anyone know if the new apk still contains the device and carrier checks? If so then us T-Mobile people will still need a patched version.

yes it does contain the device/carrier checks... though you could always just try... instead of waiting for an answer... you would have known 5 minutes ago...

I just successfully installed it on my rooted T-Mobile Nexus S. Everything seems to be working fine. That Unsupported Device banner at the top is still there though. I haven't gone out to test it at a payment terminal yet.

The unsupported device warning is because your phone is rooted.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
I've been trying tutorials and tricks to get Wallet to install, to no avail, for >hour. This worked perfectly. Can't wait to try it with my Visa card now that they're supported.

Just tried it on the aokp kang on my i9020t on T-Mobile and got insecure element. Had to flash my nandroid that had 1.1 r41v8 installed which is really old unfortunately. Would love to get a newer version working...

Thanks for this. Installed fine and got my cards added on Kali's CM10... Now just have to try it out and see if I can still make purchases.

Unfortunately Google wallet is not yet available for your device or mobile Carrier
Anyone know how to get past this?

Installed on my VZN Nexus with the little banner due to I'm rooted and it seems to work just fine. Let me register, etc. I just have not tried it out at a store yet. We don't have to many places that accept it (or I just don't but a few).
Oh, thanks for the updated .apk Not sure why Verizon is such a [email protected]#$ and not let us use it.

If you aren't in the states, it won't work.

Why are rooted phones not supported, is it unsafe?

Its fine. It still works fine... they just won't support it if you have an issue. Basically saying they aren't responsible in case something were to happen.

Do unrooted people that are side loading the app still get the message because it wasent installed directly from the app store? I'm scared to do it with the message I would hate to be robbed and have Google tell me eh your rooted.

FIRST: Nexus 7 3G 16GB

I have get it!!

cool story, bro.

Not trying to say anything against you man, but a screen shot doesn't prove much, since its pretty easy to switch around the WiFi and Data Signal icons by decompiling the SystemUI APK.
Perhaps a picture of a SIM Card slot would be more appropriate?

Considering there are numerous ways to prove this and an easily faked screenshot not being one, this is going to end badly for you if this is yet another 'hoax' attempt on the Android world.

Could be true but from what I read today the 3G NEXUS7 is going to be a 32GB device and is going to be released in the next few weeks I read it on the APPY GEEK app today you can download it from the play store GOD BLESS YOU GUYS

yes, The Next Web broke the story here, specifically saying it's the 32GB version which also all but confirms the OP doesn't have a "16GB" version.

Chromecast for use in UK

I have had a Chromecast delivered to a friend in the US. Before I get it sent over here, would it be best to have him set it up over there and then just use it here or do I need to have it sent to me here in UK in virgin state and sideload the setup apk?
Any advice and links to guides from UK users would be much appreciated.
For now I am really only interested in using YouTube and Chrome on it.

Thanks for that. So once I have installed the apk, will future updates get installed OTA automatically or will it recognise it is being used in a region not yet supported?

Your welcome.
I haven't seen My ChromeCast get any updates yet. But I've been to busy to look out for them, sorry it's a poor answear. But I guess if you was to get updates would be OTA, but I imagine there maybe a region issue.

Is there no UK release date yet? Come on, Google. Buck up!

Just a lot of conjecture on whether it will be out before Christmas. It has been out of stock in the US (at least on Amazon) until this last week or so. I would hope they will have learnt something about the demand to be expected and get those warehouses filled up for Santa. But then again the Nexus 4 supply fiasco didn't seem to teach them anything so who knows?

I've had once in UK for a month or so now, bought and shipped from US.
It has auto updated at least three times already.
The only thing that you must watch for is when the chromecast apk updates as the market won't do it for you. But it's always found on the internet

I'm a bit confused. You say it has auto updated 3 times but then you suggest you have to look out for updates on the internet .

He refers to the apk on your device required to initally set the cc up and do things like reset it, Which isn't in UK play store. Easy to find so not an issue.

Better off doing it yourself, as you can then make sure to flash a non-updating ROM onto it. theres no problem setting up entirely in the UK, and everything works fine over here. (with the latest ROM it even sets up as UK in one of the 2 region options.. )

Try changing your wireless channel in the superhub.. I assume the US might not use all the same ones we do over here, might get it working. (just a guess by the way no evidence to support it being correct)

Hi imran_jasper. I'm using it on Virgin Media. If you have Mac address filtering switched on, make sure you add the Mac address of the chromecast. I forgot that at first.
