I'm having the SAME exact issue. A few people here have offered advice which didn't work for me, but mostly I'm ignored because it seems to be "my problem" since not enough people seem to be having this issue.
If I flash back to stock using ODIN market downloads are snappy again.

Is this happening on 3g or wifi connection?

I have seen this issue..i have three captivates all running cog5.5 and only one seems to have occasional problem with market...not sure exactly what causes problem but toggling wifi, clearing cache or rebooting seems to correct it
I am not patient so I don't wait an hour for a download....if it does not work I just try the above in that order and usually one of the first two works but reboot always fixes

It happens in 3g and its all the time, each and every single download. In wifi its normal and snappy. I know its not my network coz web is fast and everything. Rebooting doesnt work too, clearing market data too so what else could I do?

Just because your browser experience is good does not in and of itself completely eliminate your 3g connection a being the cause. One thing to try is attempting market downloads from a few different locations - this would help eliminate your data connection if your experience was the same at different locations.
I have a few more questions. have you flashed any custom roms? if you have flashed did you restore apps and data with TiB? Are you running any lag fixes? Are you using any task killers?

The downloads are the same everywhere and with browsing its faster than the iphone 4 I even compared them. Im runing the cognition 5 beta I think, I never restored anything and never screwed with the one click lag fix

Settings» About Phone - the build number at the bottom wil tell you which version of cog you are running.
When you say the market is slow everywhere - does it always everywhere jump out to a certain percentage than drop off to a slow crawl? And when you say everywhere - how many different locations and how far apart were they?
When you cleared the market data cache did you force close the market app first before clearing the cache?
And are you using any task killers?

Im actually runining cognition beta4, and im using the defult tast menager that came with the rom. Its all over the place, I could be 30 miles away from home and the downloads speed for market are slow. Usally it jumps to 14% or 33% and than just slows down like crazy and goes by 1%

It sounds like something is corrupted that market uses on your phone that is causing your network connection to crash while downloading. If the following does not clear it up you may need to reflash cog
go settings» wireless and network and put your phone into flight mode.
Then go settings» applications» manage applications - go to the "All" tab - scroll down and select the market app - here select force stop - then select clear data.
Then reboot your phone.
Turn off flight mode and retry your market.

Ok so I did what you told me, with no results. Still the same. How would I flash to beta 5 cognition? Can I just install it using rom menager and install it over the version I have now? Also how would I do it without losing anything. Also thank you for trying to help me!

Unless you go through the kernel swapping steps rom manager will not work with COG 2.2b4. Secondly - to be sure and get rid of what ever is causing your problem you wil be better off doing doing a full wipe anyway.
I use google contacts (www.google.com/contacts) and google colander (www.google.com/calendar) and then sync my phone with those each time I am done flashing. I move any pics, movies, and documents I want to save to my external sd card - and then I remove my external sd card for the flashing process (i also keep a backup copy of all these things on my pc). Any apps can be re downloaded from the market even the paid ones as they are linked to your google account.

Is there any known issue with chrome 2 phone and cyanogen?

Wow kind of glad I wasnt the only one with this issue. How to we tell Cyan?
Well, that.
Mine hasn't worked for quite a while now, and I always have my gapps updated. It just keeps crashing every time I try to send any linkto my phone.

Not having much success with it either... Message says sent to phone, but my phone never responds.
Used to work perfectly, so I don't think it CM in general, but maybe the more recent builds?

Its wierd with this issue, sometimes it works(since loading cm6 rc1 it works...sorta) sometimes it doesnt or just takes a while to receive. Im not a tech genius by any means so i dont know for sure why it happens but the issue is present.
Are you guys in an area with bad reception? Mine works instantly.
doesn't work for me either.
on a separate note, I hate the chrome to phone browser extension because it doesn't remember login credentials
+1 It's really badly implemented. It's often more effective to send the link via email...

Works fine here on CM6.1

Force closes every time i try and send something. But i found if i get it to send the notification, rather than automatically launch, the notification stays and is still usable.
I found a fix/workaround. Try assigning a notification sound (you don't actually have to turn notification sounds on). Once I did that, the crashing stopped. It works even with auto launch enabled.
i just cleared Chrome to Phone data and re-connected with my account, and all is well

Installing apps from market

I seem to gave a rather interesting issue with my phone. Firstly, I'm running Cognition 2.3b6. When I first put this ROM on my phone I could install apps from the market over WiFi, but I'm now unable to. The last program I install was FTPFileTransferFree and used it to transfer a file over WiFi from my computer. I can still install apps from the market over 3G, and presumably EDGE as well. When I try over WiFi it'll download the file, but then won't do anything with it. Never seen, heard, or had this happen on other builds so it seems like it's just me. Anything I can do to fix it other than wiping my phone and reinstalling? That is rather drastic for such a trivial problem.

You changed your android id? Try clearing the market cache and try again.

Market after root

Any app I try to download is telling me I require wifi. Anyone have any ideas what's going on? I'm kinda kicking myself for rooting now.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk
hmm my apps are working .. can you give an example of an app? i will give it a try..
Movies app is just 1 of many.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk
Right after rooting I tried downloading "QuickPic" and it did nothing. It said downloading app but it just did nothing. After I rebooted it started up again. Just a fluke maybe? Seems okay now.
EDIT: Tried downloading something simple like "Target" app. It froze up again for a couple seconds, started downloading at 5kbps and they shot up to complete. Laggy for sure.
hmm i am installed just fine in 4g areas... i did notice it seemed slow in a 3g area though...
just downloaded movies without issue.. rebooted and still there... are you in a 4g area? decent signal strength? otherwise i am out of ideas...
I'm in a pretty solid 4G area. Can I factory reset while rooted? I read that someone has done it.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk
i had to do a factory reset root was still there and it solved my contact problem i created
Just rooted
Just rooted, downloads and installs fine from the apps market with both wifi or 4g.
Factory reset corrected the problem.
I just completed the Root'ing of my mobile. At first I tried getting on to the Market and using the browser, but couldn't get a internet connection. I powered down the Bionic and then turned it back on. Everything worked like a charm after that.

[Q] Problems on 3G

Hey guys. First of all, I do have a working connection, but there's one problem though. Whenever my phone is on mobile data, some apps just work weird.
Gtalk: I am signed in, chatting with someone, then I put the phone away for a few minutes. The next time I check Gtalk, it is offline. It doesn't even want to get online until I turn 3G off and back on or I restart the app, then it works for a while (random) and then happens again.
Facebook: I browse the news feed and at some point (random) when i reach the bottom of the page and it should load the earlier posts, it just rolls the little circle but nothing happens. Closing the app and restarting it solves the problem, but again, temporalily.
Life is Magic (game): It can hang anytime between loading the levels or whenever it needs data connection.
Whenever these things happen, and I fire up the browser, it works... but despite that, Gtalk still wouldn't go online until I restart it. This happened on every every JB (LPY,LPQ,LQB) so far. I am using CoCore kernel, no other mods.
Thanks for help or any ideas!
Same problem here with gtalk . It has been offline on all version and combination of JB and kernels.can someone provide me stock gtalk app.so that I can re install

you can download a google apps package from here: http://goo.im/gapps
i tried that one too though, still the same. the problem is with the way certain apps using mobile networks, i believe. it doesn't happen on wifi.
Guys, really no one else uses Google Talk?
Still, I believe the problem is with 3G.
Yeah, like you guys said, this happens to me on every official firmwares and only when I'm on 3g. (Just noticed now that you guys mention it)
I had to turn off and on the 3g for it to be active again. I don't use gtalk but it happens with gmail, stock email, fb, xda-app and tapatalk too among others.
As mentioned, it's totally random and usually happens when left by itself for a while. Until now, the only workaround I used is like you guys, just to turn it off and on again.
Until now I thought it was a problem with my ISP but guess it wasn't.
Sent from my GT-I9070 using xda premium
probably not. but still, turning it on and off doesn't solve the problem because Gtalk goes offline after a while and I don't receive messages which is the whole pont
also, facebook app stops refreshing the news feed as I scroll down...
up...
does anyone have a solution yet? are there others affected?
UPDATE: i went back to Gingerbread thinking that it will solve my problem. But that just doesn't happen, gtalk goes offline, i am not getting facebook messages etc,etc...
I think I should take this phone to the service.

Issues w/Facebook Lag - But only at home

This is a weird issue, and I can't seem to figure it out. When I'm on my home network, I have really, really terrible lag with Facebook's mobile app *only on my phone*. I mean, it takes about 10 minutes for a pic to load. Any other app (on my phone) that connects to Facebook will lag really bad connecting to FB, as well. I've got Comcast and Speedtest will give me >100Mb/s on my desktop, hardwired to the router, and my phone will usually give me >50Mb/s. I've got an ASUS RT-N56U router, so I don't think that's the issue. I've tried both 5GHz and 2.4GHz, and they both have the same issue.
If I use the FB app on any other wifi network, or 4G, it works just fine. Any other tabs, iPhones, laptops, etc. work fine on my home network.
The thing is, it wasn't always like this... When I first got Comcast set up, everything worked fine. The problem seems to just have happened one day, and the only thing I changed on my phone was installing Transparent Weather Clock. Of course, I tried uninstalling it and seeing if anything changed, but no luck.
I am on 4.3 NB4, rooted.
Any help is appreciated! TIA!
Have you tried wiping the Facebook app data or uninstalling and reinstalling it? I've had funky problems with the Facebook app in the past and wiping the data or a fresh download from the Play Store always fixed it.
Thanks for the tip... I tried that, but ended up with the same results. Did a data wipe, then tried erasing FB completely and then re-installing.
I mean, the baffling part is that the app and all things connected to it work fine everywhere else... Even on much, much slower internet connections. I can't figure out why it works so poorly on my home wifi, when all the other devices work just fine.

You have a external sd? If so go in there and go to Android/data/ and see if files left over for Facebook in there. If so delete them. Then in app manager go to Facebook and clear everything you can. then uninstall. Clear cache. Reboot. Reinstall. See if it works

I do have an external SD... However, I checked and there is nothing about Facebook in there.

An update... I don't believe the problem is isolated to Facebook. Facebook just happens to be the most bandwidth intensive app on my phone. Other Internet services run more slowly on my home network than elsewhere. Maybe this will solve some mystery. I am starting to think it's a router setting.
