For some reason, the Amazon App Store has been repeatedly force closing for almost 2 weeks, sometimes 2-3 times a day. I'm not even using it when it happens, I'll just feel the buzz in my pocket and when I look the FC message is on the screen. Anyone else notice this behavior?
Not yet, but will keep a look out for it. I only even check it once a day to see if the free app is something I would want.

Ok lets say i am in yahoo (dowloaded offical app not the pre-installed at&t IM app). I will finish what i am doing in yahoo, leave it running and return to the HOME screen. A few minutes later (after receiving no messages) I wake up my phone & it is yahoo! It shold still be at the HOME screen as this is the last thing that was open before sleep mode. This also happens randomly with my text and call log. I will make a call and hang up. Phone times out in 15 seconds and is left on the home screen. I wake it up and my list of calls is on the display....this should NOT BE! Text messages show up after the wake up some times as well. Additionally I am on my 3rd captivate with a brand new sim card and I will be on the phone for 5 minutes in a COMPLETE singnal area and my call will not just "drop" it's almost like the entire phone app disables and I lose all signal for 10 seconds & it regains and the screen blanks out. What gives??!!! I am using task manager and I have the "phone" ignored as proccess that it should not auto-kill so I do not know! Any help with any of these issues will be appreciated!
I would uninstall task manager first to make sure it's not the problem. If its still happening keep uninstalling apps one at a time until you get back to the factory loadout.
My thinking is that if this is your third phone then it's most likely a software issue. I haven't seen anything around the forums about similar problems out of the door so I have to think its something you've modified or an app that is causing the issue.
The only alternative i can think of would be to start reading up on each app you've installed to see I'd they've been tested on the captivate.
Good luck

Anyone else having issues with the Market? I'll explain a little further. Anytime I purchase/pay for an app, it says Completing Checkout or whatever and then Waiting to Install...
I wait. Then I wait. I wait some more. Nothing. Sometimes it says "Please check back when Market Purchase is resolved" or something to that effect. It seems like the purchase never processes in full. On rare occassion it purchases successfully. If I go to the app and try to Install, I get Download Denied or something. Of course, if the purchase goes through successfully, it downloads just fine. It's such a struggle to purchase and download some apps. I'm getting pissed off.
I am having a similar issue whether it is pay or free. Dowloading just stops or install does not complete. No error message just stops. So far not a big deal but reported the issue through market to google (reported as an issue with market) . Hopefully its one of many minor bugs they address soon.

having issues here too, I get it when pressing install, sometimes nothing happens till the 5th or 6th time then it says connection error and I have to hit retry several times before it shows me the permissions page so i can accept the download. Thinking about returning This and waiting for the Samsung tab

for whatever its worth, the market has been doing that on my other two android devices (vibrant and droid) as well... ususaly force stopping it and clearing cache does the trick, but its annoying obviously. pretty sure its not a xoom problem per se.
Out of curiosity are you trying to download while connected via wifi or thru 3g? I noticed that I was having this problem also but only when connected thru 3g. Wifi it downloads just fine with no problems.

i am no longer able to download anything. The market on my xoom is not functional and using the web does nothing. It says it will be installed shortly but nothing ever happens. My guess is because my Market app is jacked.
EDIT: A reboot seems to have fixed the issues. After the reboot about ten or eleven apps just magically installed themselves and the Market works again.
Hi!
I'm on stock uk v10d, and I just downloaded today's amazon free app of the day, Jenga but I have problems with starting it. Whenever I start it, it gets stuck at the developers logo...
Anyone else with the same problem?
edit: Finally it started, as i left it for five minutes, but now I can't seem to exit it... back button doesn't work... however, great game, just buggy
Mine is working but it starts after ~30 sec. And I'm on cm7
I figured out that if i turn off the screen and right after it i turn it back on, the game starts...
There is the same issue on the Xoom... can this be a kind of incompatibility with Tegra2?
anyway now i can play the game, runs great, but the only way to exit it is to kill the process... i can live with it but i think i‘ll send feedback to the developer

Just got my Dev edition. Upgraded to 4.4.2 and after a while to 4.4.3
All seemed fine until i noticed that Google play books used 40% of the battery... Weird since i opened it, scrolled the list and closed... It wasn't even in the recent app list...
I killed it and added to the disable list (i use fbreader anyway)... Now today (second day with phone) the same happened with YouTube...
It used 30% of the battery. I watched a10s clip... App info said 10s foreground... 30 min background... And again, it wasn't even on the recent app list to be closed. Just went to apps and force closed.
Now I'm worried that this is a thing with everything Google (which honestly i can disable all but gmail and maps) or the OS...
Anyone getting the same? I'm not sure what to search for to find similar threads...
I'm guessing this is either common or i have a ducked device since i got it twice for the 2 days i have it...

Ugh that's really weird. If you're rooted it will be a lot easier to fix but for now reboot the phone and use it like that for another day. Sometimes the OS and apps need time to settle. For example I did a fresh flash two days ago and my Google services had a 1 hour and 13 minute wakelock yesterday where as today it's behaving very well. But YouTube doing that is weird. Never auto update your apps as 85% of updates are crap across the board. Try going to apps under settings and click uninstall updates for YouTube. This should revert YouTube to the version that came with 4.4.3, unless that's already the latest. But yeah for now try and "tickle" YouTube by logging out, wiping cache and data for it under settings/apps and log back in, see if it starts behaving. I'll monitor this thread to try and help.

Thanks. I did all that yesterday and rebooted. So far everything seems fine. So i think you're spot on. Tho it is a bad sign to have those bugs
The phone did lock up twice on me after that.
Once playing webm on chrome. But i just disabled it a while later. Firefox beta ftw! ( ff is the Only reason i have up my nexus one)
Another time when i inserted the Sim with the phone on and right away unlocked the slider... It froze mid slider animation. Think i hit some race condition there. Hopefully i won't be inserting sim cards all the time...
Overall i think i will be able to live with that phone. Now only if i could use nfc unlock with my assine employer email policy...

It may have happened again. It's reporting a widget (simple calendar) as using 15min of cpu with 4min of foreground time. I had opened its setting screen 15 min ago. After i liked it from the recent task list it stopped counting new cpu time. But it's still showing as the top battery user for now.
Since that setting screen has ads, i will just write this off as a sleazy ad library for now.

Google Play Music is really screwy. It works for the most part but sometimes when opening up a new interface like clicking on an album or artist it crashes my phone. The phone will freeze and it wont recognize any touch input. Turning the screen off and back on will just bring up the frozen page, it doesn't even bring up the lock screen. I have to either pull the battery or if i let it sit for a few minutes it automatically reboots. It continues to play music while frozen though. I uninstalled the app and got rid off my xposed mods that interacted with the app and then reinstalled it. I still have the same problem though. Sometimes it happens every few hours but I have had it happen every few minutes sometimes. I'm using the newest version of the Xtreme ROM but no one else seems to have this issue.
