[Q] Market Issues?

Hi guys,
Is it just me, or are there a large number of apps that just don't want to install from the Android Market on the O2X?
The biggest omission seems to be Facebook. The official app used to install just fine, but not since 1.6.1. There's other strange ones too, like the official Not Always Right app [market link]. Why would that not be O2X compatible?
I am currently running CM7.1 nightlies on my phone, so that may be contributing to the issue, but seriously, what gives here? Is anybody else having any issues like this on either CM or official firmware?

I updated Facebook about an hour ago, no problem. Not Always Right installs fine too.
I'm on CM nightlies, #114 at the mo.

So it's just me then? Awesome, that makes me feel special!
...actually, I just updated to b114 then, and now everything installs again. How bizarre - nothing major in the build.prop seems to have changed from previous builds?
OK.. so.. problem solved then. Move along, nothing more to see here...

Bee to the Ewe to the Em to the Pee!
This is really annoying me. I'm now on CM7 b127, and I go to install the nifty new Woolies app.
This is what I get:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This is driving me bonkers. I have no idea what is going on to make this happen all the time. Does anybody have any potential solution?

Not compatible with mine either, you'll have to blame the creator for that one though.

yes, but...
:crazyface:

Ah, that's not right, mine has it as compatible.
I'm on a kang build of CM7 (pre-128, for EXT4 support) with Market v3.1.3 installed on /system

Hrm
So I uninstalled all the Market updates on the phone, and was able to install the Woolies app (it may be unavailable outside of Australia btw), but the website is still cracking the ****s at me and saying it's not compatible.
Sigh!

Hello everyone, I've got a pretty big problem, ever since I tried to use Market Enabler(not sure though if that's the cause), I can't download/update anything from the Market. It stays on "Downloading...", the download bar is animated, but it doesn't fill like it should. Browsing is ok(also downloading from the browser), youtube, even searching on the Market, etc., everything until I try downloading/updating an app.
I've cleared cache, installed an older version of Market, rebooted, remounted SD card, port 5228 is ok... I'm really out of ideas...
It was working fine until I installed Market Enabler yesterday to try to install a Japanese Market app. I've since uninstalled MEnabler(after restoring default SIM settings). If you've got any ideas, please help. Thx.

Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> All -> Market -> Clear data

Doesn't work, I've even installed the Market again, nothing...
I also can log in to gtalk just fine.
Edit: Fixed it by changing phone language, thanks to temasek.

Back up and reset account issue

Hallo people.
Im trying to figure out a problem with ''Back up and reset'' in phone settings with my google account.
What's my problem that i need your help?
I like to install and try all the great rom here and always im making full wipe before flashing.And i love the feature on ics that i can restore my google account when i set up my phone for first time after installation.My phone settings, my wifi settings, my contacts and my apps from Google Play are auto back to my phone in 5 minutes (i m using Titanium Backup only for a few apps).
BUT, unfortunately on SOME custom ROM, after first set up, my Google account auto restore only my cocntacts and nothing more!I must install my apps and all my phone settings manually, so im spending lot of my time!
Plus, in phone settings-Backup and Reset, the ''Backup account'' is empty and i cant change it!

Any thoughts???
Thanks,
Ilias.

Noone???...

Take my word. Dun trust that function. Just do your normal contact sync with google server, your sms with GoSMS and applications with Titanium Backup.
That is how I backup and restored my phone between flashes without any surprises.
One thing to note is that you wouldn't be able to backup and restore system apps. Only user apps like your Whatsapp, 3D cameras, Games, etc..

I follow these many years in my android life.Once, a year before, i had big problem with my google account.I couldnt buy anything cause i had all my apps in titanium backup (yes, chracked).
So i decide to make another account, to buy any app i wanted and to keep in titanium only few.
The problem for me is not how to reset more quick.
I just wonder what cause the reset problem in some custom rom and in others i can reset my account without problem.
Thanks...

Same problem una N7000 with CM 10.2

Same here...
I have the same issue running the current beta 5.8.27. Only Google apps are affected. Very strange....

Im having the same problem on miui 5.9.17

Same here

I have denied access to location for many apps, almost all that were asking (focusing on better battery life), maybe that could be the reason
Does anyone have had the same issue?

Now I have not had any major GPS issues but sometimes when I quit my Google Maps app it looses GPS signal and it does not regain it until I re-load the app from fresh

Yes, the china version 5.9.17

Hi,
I found myself in the same situation. Brand new Mi4C, latest stable firmware and Google Maps is not even activating GPS (toolbar symbol missing). Other apps like OruxMaps or GPSTest worked immediately.
I found the solution here:
http://en.miui.com/forum.php?mod=redirect&goto=findpost&ptid=182587&pid=3438377
Turns out that while Google Maps may have enough permissions, the Google Play Services and Google Services Framework also need permission to "Get location info".
So, open MIUIs Security app and check the permissions of those three apps.
For me, the Google Play Services had a red cross (deny) for the get location info permission.
After changing it and restarting Google Apps, the location icon immediately appeared in the toolbar and Maps showed my location.
I'm not sure where the red cross came from. Maybe - during installation - it requested the location and I hit deny because why would it need it..
Anyway, hope this helps.
Jochen

It still doesn't work for me

I too am experiencing the same issues, not with one, but have tried two brand new Redmi Note3 mobiles (Amazon was good enough to replace my first mobile even when my replacement/refund window was almost over). But both sets have same problem (Again Amazon is kind enough to refund my money, but I really wanted to keep this set if only it worked ok).
Many apps are able to find GPS location, but Google Plus, Mi Browser and some other less known apps are not able to find GPS available to them (even all permissions are fully ok with them).
I even contacted Xiaomi on this, but what they all asked me was to visit their service center which is some 225 KMs away from me (whole Punjab state has only 1 or 2 Xiaomi Service Centers).
Check the following screen shots showing the permissions (as instructed by Xiaomi) and also video links which I've recorded, one for faulty RMN3 and other for the same app on Micromax (this shows how G+ location is expected to work if there was no fault).
Pls find the youtube video links in the end.

This was happening to my sisters phone. I knew from the beginning she needed to update the google play services. No Google apps will run or be sluggish. She hated her phone. We couldn't update through WiFi or LTE eventually we went to a t mobile store only for the phone to start working property shortly after. Turns out my WiFi was spotty aswell as LTE in my area. If you can't update Google play services try a different area. After updating services phone was back to normal and she is loving MM

my internet connection is fine and updates go through fine after hte initial issue.
Originally, it kept saying it cant download google play services, but everything else was doing fine. instead of googling the error i disabled google play services and thus uninstalled all its current updates, then restarted phone and re-enabled it and tried again. it downloaded and updated (it no longer shows an "update" button when i look at it in google play) but it still throws the error in my OP every time I look at it.

anyone have any other thoughts? this error is driving me nuts.
As stated before, the download goes through fine, and just to humor the above poster I have tried other locations and it's the same thing all over again.
The problem isn't i cant update, the problem is i -do- update, but the error continues to come through as if I have not updated. I am currently on Version 8.7.03 (2645110-240) for google play services but the error keeps popping up

Clear Cache on Google Play Services. If that doesn't work, clear Data too. Then let it update again if needed. You really shouldn't disable this in the first place.

i've already tried clearing cache/data and re-updated, didn't make a difference. i only disabled it because thats the only way i knew to uninstall updates, it was immidiately re-enabled.

Question Blocking ads

Hello.. usually i use block this vpn for blocking ads on Chrome and system, but it won't work on ultra.. I'm on latest EU rom.. any solution?

I use this.

Or use Brave browser which blocks many but has its own VPN too.

I use the Samsung Internet browser (stable or beta) which has many adblock plugins, specific and officially available like AdGuard (the best), AdBlock, ABP, etc.

Brave, etc doesn't globally block ads from installed apps, my fix does...

Not fully but when I use the DNS approach, sometimes the phone will not connect to the data server. It took me a while to work out the resolution, disable DNS again. So as I was fed up having to do this now and again and losing data connection randomly, I just chose Brave as an alternative but whatever floats your boat. I am only trying to give the guy an alternative.

It will block some black listed sites which is a good thing. Very rarely do I need to disable it*. Been using it for over 6 months now. It gives me very little trouble... occasional slow downs. It enhances security.
Your carrier may be part of the problem, I'm on AT&T.
Presumably the full paid version works better.
*it's easy to toggle off if needed.

Is there a way to install vanced without manager? I have vanced on all mine devices, but I can't install it on ultra.. tried newpipe, and couple more alternatives but it's not possible to login with g account, and that's a deal breaker..

If I remember well, to be able to install the vanced manager app one should disable fist the MIUI optimization in the developer's settings.
Anyway Youtube vanced has reached its end-of-life, due to Google threats.

I I have root and unblocked bootloader and have no issues with the installation through vanced manager. I just enable the option to install app from unknown sources for manager and installation goes smoothly
