anyone else having issues with widgets not loading on froyo? - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i manually updated to froyo a few weeks ago and lately my widgets wont load up after rebooting my phone. I get a blank grey square that says "problem loading widget" in place of where they would normally be. I have not moved any of my apps to sd or anything like that. Anyone know what the most updated froyo build is? has google officially released it yet?

do you think its because the devs dont have access to the 2.2 code yet so its not compatible?

which widgets specifically?

Have the same issue, make sure they are not moved to the SD card since it is not available in the first few minute after a reboot.
I also had issue with app update not working and, I had to reboot to make it stop trying to install (download work, install doesn't) well I guess there's good reason why google did not release it yet!

Google Maps 3.3.0 On the market

Welp I just installed 3.3.0 on my G1 and now I'm getting Force Closures.
Compass arrow
Scale bar
Terrain Layer
More…
When I opened up the new Google Maps for the first time it asked “What’s new in Maps?” and it answered:
Report a problem with the map or a business listing
See businesses at an address or near a point on the map
Try out experimental features with labs
Uninstalled and reinstalled and it works fine.
Thanks for the uninstall/reinstall tip. that solved my problem. running CM-4.2.7.1
No force closes here...
The new features are cool, but nothing nearly as awesome an addition as Navigation was. Either way though, love to see that they're improving it all the time. Android's Google Maps is WAYY better than iPhone's if you ask me.
I like the fact that you can report problems right from the phone too.
I am personally getting a "package not signed" error on Enmther's TheOfficial. I uninstalled it but I still cant get it to install/
love it!! no force close after reinstall
does it have street view

Yeah it still has street view. You just long press anywhere on the screen and it brings up the next menu. As long as street view is in your area you will get the use of it. Like my area shown up above in the screen shots I do not have street view in my area so I can't really use it much.
can any one upload an apk of the new google maps, having a hard time installing it via market.

Running Cyanogen 4.2.5 and had the hacked version of 3.2.1 Maps (via XDA, before it was available on the market). Upgraded to 3.3 via market and it works fine, no FCs.

getting the same. running cyanogen 4.2.7.1 installed 3.2.1 from market fine last time. no option to uninstall from manage apps - how are you guys uninstalling?

a full uninstall (e.g. i did it with Super User File Management System (SUFMS) and then reinstall via market fixes the Maps 3.30 force close issue
Having the same problem here with the unsigned package error message - tried uninstalling, manually deleting the Maps.apk file but no luck...
Does anyone have a working APK that we can just push to our app folder and get it over with?
I'm running a modified CM 4.2.7.1 (on which people are complaining about he same issue). I don't get Google with their crap they have to do to block certain features and render the whole thing useless for all users with custom roms until someone has to spend the time and figure it all out for the rest of us...

When you are on the market there should be an option to upgrade. I simply upgraded and then when I had an error I went back to the market and searched for "Google Maps" and when it came up I used the uninstall button, followed up with searching and installing.

I just tried to download it again. Its there you just have to wait for their annoying time out thing. I'd host it on my site, but honestly I'd rather not hammer the piss out of it when megaupload works just fine.
Anybody that wants to use it just rename it to Maps.apk
Its renamed funky because of an app I have installed that renames files when I tell it to back up.
Signing issues here is another thread that addresses it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=596281
the link is working now
I updated my site with version 3.3.0 if anyone wants the apk...

[Q] Reinstalling the market update

So I had a few apps get the infinite Installing Android Market bug thanks to a wireless router dying at a bad time. The only thing that worked short of doing a factory reset was to uninstall the market update.
So my question is how do I get the Market update to reinstall?
Thanks
(Not rooted, stock ROM)
Uninstall application, then reinstall. Just a hunch.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Were it only so simple. The 2.2 market enchancements were a silent upgrade, so there's no market link. And beyond that, the Market no long appears up on the manage Applications list in the system settings.
I've been having the same issues as well, very frustrating! I've been searching here and good ol' google on how to get that update back...to no avail yet.
Did you ever get any success?
Pulled this. See if it works for you.
Thanks
Trying to side load it now, but I can't seem to get droid explorer to work. sigh.....
It connects to the phone fine, but then when I go to install the package, it gives me a new window that wants to install something. I don't really remember that window coming up in the past, but to be honest it's been quite awhile since I've used droidexplorer... So I click isntall, and the program immediately crashes.
So, I put the file on my web server, and downloaded it from there. (Got some annoying lovely messages about the phone being out of space until I cleared the browser download list....) It downloaded fine, but when I go to install it, I get "Parse Error There is a problem parsing the package."
On an odd hunch, I started poking around the file structure in DroidExplorer, and was able to pull my own MarketUpdater.apk out and save it to the computer. So I threw that on the webserver, and was able to download it fine, AND re-install it. No idea if that will actually DO anything, but hey, figured it was worth a shot.
So now that I've waited 15 minutes after reinstalling the marketupdater.apk, (big surprise) nothing's changed.
EDIT:
Went to grab a sandwich for lunch, and decided to pop into the ATT store since it was right next to where I was eating. Asked one of the reps that I have a pretty good relationship with about the issue, and he said a customer came in not too long ago with the same issue, and the only resolution was a system wipe. Hopefully we can get around it...Of course, if not, and I do have to do a wipe, I'll just upgrade to 2.2....

Problems with Foursqaure and ESPN

Just loaded this on to my phone after using NFX for a while. Everything is great except I am having a couple of issues with apps. I have ESPN scorecenter which force closes as it tries to open. Foursquare will open but when I try to sign in it says that their servers are down, but this has a been three days now. Does anyone else either have these problems or not have these problems or have an idea of what could be wrong?
Also I was wanting to use magic smoke as a live wallpaper but it force closes every time it tries to load. Any suggestions here?
Thanks for the help
EDIT - Running Cyanogen 6.1
I don't know if you found this yesterday, but over in impaler's q+a thread there was talk about espn. Apparently they (espn) broke the version you had and put out an update, which fixed the issue for most people, I don't use those apps personally, but if you haven't updated through the market yet, go do it, it should fix your issue.

Yup, newest update fixed the FC issue with Scorecenter. Don't know about Foursquare, but Scorecenter is fixed for sure.

[cm7] ok so what has happened?

I have been upgrading my installs from CM7 starting with the bluetooth test build. I upgraded from that to the video test build, then I've been dropping CM7 nightlies on top of that.
Then I installed phiremod 5.1
After installing phiremod 5.1, I can no longer see some things in the market. I can't see n64oid, I can't see certain live wallpapers (silhouette, jumpgate, and nightfall.)
I know I had the LWP's before because market still shows them as "installed" somewhere, and I made of lists of apps to get after installing phiremod.
Since then I have reverted back to CM7 nightlies and still can't get these things in the market. What gives?
I've read that recently google added a check for openGL compatibility so opengl apps won't show up for non-opengl phones, HOWEVER I do have the libOpenSLES libraries and the 3d portion of Quadrant runs. I have other (presumably) 3d games installed such as aTilt 3d, jet car stunts, and raging thunder.
Any ideas? I'm stuck..
is my cache folder suppose to be empty?
CWM is always complaining about not being able to mount /cache/something.
live wallpapers have been turned off in cm7.. to fix the other problems have you tried running 'fix permissions' in the rom manager?

They are going to be turned back on. I have already turned it on (aka, installed the apk) but for some reason I can't certain LWP's to download. It just doesn't show them. I know they CAN be compatible because they were previously installed via market.
Also I can't see this device when I log into the market from my computer. It shows my phone but not the tablet. weird.
btw, I have downloaded the APK's from other sources and they are fully functional when installed. I still want to get the market working. I don't mind paying the $3 for these (AT ALL!! THEY ARE AWESOME!!!) but I have to figure out this market problem. I'm not the only one having this issue (many platforms, etc)
any ideas?

Post in the threads of the software you are using, so that other people who did the same thing can comment.
In this case, that looks to be the phiremod 5.1 thread.

Okay time to add on to this quick post at the start of the thread. I am running this on VeGan Tab as the ROM of choice. The App switches from portrait to landscape mode with a minor reload. The search look exactly the same as before. One of the cool feature is the ability to side scroll between the home screen and categories to the left and top paid, top free, top grossing, top new free, and trending. From each of these you can scroll up and down. The scrolling is just a tiny bit laggy but not a hugh issue. Clicking on an app opens a nicely laid out window which fills the entire display and is well laid out in my opinion. The one odd issue is when you click on the screen shots they only display in portrait mode. Also the movie preview streams are excellent they do not lag even on my slow internet connection.
It is my recommend for all tablet users 2.2 and higher to install this update to the app store

Even users with HC? I've been putting this off because I thought it was for Froyo/GB people.

What I know of this update is that it is for 2.2 and higher. from the google blog...
Recently, we’ve been hard at work improving Android Market to give you new ways to find great applications and games, purchase books, and rent movies. Today, we’re releasing a new version of Android Market which makes all of these available on phones (Android 2.2 and higher).
So I take it this is not on the HC builds and it can be used on the HC builds. As with anything like this your mileage will vary. I just put my two cent worth in on the update.
Tried on Stock 3588 but no go which of course I did not think it would work.
I like the new Market however I keep getting a force close if I try to add a customized icon shortcut via Better Cut. I have to drag the app icon from the application menu & add it to my launcher bar, which is fine but I can't use a customized icon.
I am running this on Flashback rom with no problems.
Actually have two Markets to pick from for now so I'll wait and see which I like better.
Downloaded Zinio from new market and updated a few apps no problem.
Now if we can get Netflix to work on Flashback this would/will be a great tablet and replace my laptop.
Anybody try it on HC yet? I really like the layout of the HC market.
any hack fix for this version of the market
Any hack fix
Anyone tried it on Honeycomb yet?
Running BoS 6.0 Alpha nad so far no problems.

Im on Vegantab GE and I get a force close after a few seconds every time I open it. I have tried clearing the cache, clearing data, going into CWM and clearing cache and data there and even fixing permissions. Nothing seems to work. Anyone else experiencing this?

Had this happen to me but doing something different. Before you go wild and try a lot of things, I found out that this may be caused by your contacts getting corrupted. If you have Titanium backup and can get into it, wipe your contacts/account data and you'll be fine.
If not, you most likely DON'T have to NVFlash your device- just wipe your data&cache if you have CWM recovery installed.
Whoa... Nice improvements. This is SLICK!

i'm getting the FC too and this isn't working. i wiped contacts data and it didn't work. cleared cache and dalvik and still didn't work. i even wiped market data and google services framework like we did back then for the market fix. still nothing. what exactly am i supposed to wipe in titanium?
I've ran it on flashback 5.4 with no problems, but i like the hc version better.

Yeah, the contacts don't have anything to do with the market so Im not even going to bother. Are you runing Vegan Gingeredition? If you are it may be safe to assume that the issue is a conflict there. Need more feedback from others running Vegan GE to know for sure. For know I just reverted back to the orig market and it runs fine, I don't plan on renting any movies anyway, (not that they play on rooted devices) so not having the new market doesnt bother me a lot.

the new market is awesome tho. i have it on my droid 1 with no issues. i guess ill just have to stick with the original market for now. i dont care about the movies or books either but it just looks so cool haha
