Database Develop

Market issues ...

I am not sure how many others out there may have experienced the issues I am about to describe, but it is extremely annoying. So I am asking all devs out there to please hear out this issue. I have searched all over for a solution with no result.
ISSUE:
Every action I perform in the Market takes nearly about 1 minute. So for instance, just opening Market takes about 1 minute to load the default Market home screen. So then I see an app I am curious of and click on it. It then takes another minute before the content about the app is fully displayed. Then lets say I want to install the app and click install. If permissions are required, it then takes another minute before that dialog fully displays with the OK/Cancel buttons. Then when the install completes, I can see in the notification bar that the application installed successfully, but the status of the app in the Market remains in the Installing state until I reboot my phone.
Other issues I have noticed is that going to GAMES --> ALL GAMES or APPS --> ALL APPS, I do not see the top paid apps or top paid games.
I have seen this behavior for all apps purchased and free.
Here are other factors. I have experienced this issue on both stock and custom ROMS. I am a big fan of Cyanogen and have tried the various methods on his wiki with no success. I have experienced this issue on different phones as well (i.e. MyTouch & Nexus One). I called Nexus One support and ran through all of their usual troubleshooting methods with no success. They eventually gave up and told me it was a T-Mobile problem.
Here's the other odd issue is that if I wipe my phone and log in with my wife's account, I don't have this problem. Google suggested I setup a new account, but that is not happening. I have had my gmail account since the beginning of time when they first offered trials for gmail. I also have purchased around 70 apps through the market.
Here is a logcat output I captured while attempting to download an app:

Any help would be greatly appreciated because I am now starting to lose interest in the Market because of this issue.
Thanks!

wrong section. q&a is where you wanna be

I am having the same issues and it sucks... sorry I cant help.. just wanted to let you know your not alone and it should be looked into

I understand where your going with that. I have posted the same in the newbie section with 0 responses. This section is where the magic happens. So I was hoping one of the devs out here might give a helping hand to figure out this issue. I have posted in the Market forums with 0 replys. I have contacted Google support directly with no luck other than directing me to T-Mobile blaming their service as the issue, even though I get the same problem over wireless.

Hey I appreciate the support man and I am glad to know that I am not the only one with this annoying issue. I have been a loyal customer to allot of these great devs out there and have purchased over 70 apps on my phone and then repaid for lots of those on my wifes phone just because I truly believe in supporting great talent. But ever since I have been having this issue (since moving from my G1 to the MyTouch and still with the Nexus), I haven't even had the interest to browse the market for new apps.

Missing Apps in Market after update to FroYo

So I updated to FroYo manually thanks to the methods posted here. I've nearly reinstalled all my apps with the exclusion of one; Square. I cannot find it in the market and thought maybe the dev pulled it, but it shows up in 2.1 and web-based market browsers, just not in 2.2. Anyone else experiencing this? Can I just force the apk onto the phone somehow?

Same here.. seems like the copy protected apps are having problems.
This is not root or something else regarded - everyone has these issues.

Great to hear I'm not alone, but being an early adopter can sometimes blow (in the BAD way) =\
Is this being discussed in another thread? I did a search prior to posting and came up empty
EDIT: Mods, thanks for moving this to the appropriate forum. I've seen mention of this issue appear in various threads, though no thread of it's own. Will wait for devs to catch up with 2.2

I reported the same problem on modaco last night... I'm sure google will enable de protected apps this week, just a slight oversight on their side.

i had same problem, just put them apk on your sd card and install it. if it is being a stubborn app like a certain few just copy/paste or move them to data/private-app and install from in there. should take care of it 4 u.

Same problem here (Tapatalk Pro and Extended Controls missing).

when you create an app you can set a max api level to support, or not.
applications that have that set won't show on newer devices.
exzeus, square, and a few others seem to have done it...
give them about a month or so and you should see them come around.

reporting in for the same problem!

My App ICE Donate wasn't found either.. I removed the copy protection until Froyo is officially listed - it can be found and downloaded again

I'm missing cachemate, I only see the free version and I've check the box for all sources for apps. astro will not install from my backups

found out if you sign in via wifi (as I've been doing - maybe even if you skip update at the beginning) things don't work right with the market...since my account is suspended I eventualyl signed in with my cousins sim and yea, it all works fine now...

This cant be the reason. i did only do signin via edge!

Having the same issue here. Wife's N1 can't find WeatherBug Elite, or the Helix Launcher in the market. Even after reboot.

Same. Paul actually fixes it in his roms by changing the Rom fingerprint. Some of the unofficial nexus updates he integrated did the same thing to protected apps. Once fingerprint was changed, it seemed to have done the magic. I'm guessing that he will do the same next week for froyo.

Same here my paid app wont show up which means I may be losing sales so I'm pissed right now

Yeah, so no MLB app at the moment... which makes me unhappy.

Any word on an official response from Google yet on this issue?

Good looking out. Google needs to address this fast though for the non tech people (and potential app customers)

[Q] Screen shaking

Hi All,
I am very new to galaxy tab.
I am running on official gingerbread, flashed following the guidelines on the site. Other than a checksum error it went smoothly and working just fine.
I have another problem though. When I hold it in portrait mode, trying to move up and down with my finger causes the screen to shake.
Somerimes more sonetines a little less but it is always there.
In landscaepe mode it almost does not exist, working smooth.
I tried doing a lot of search but could.not find anything on it.
unfortunately I did not pay attenrion if it was hapening on stock froyo, did not stay on that long enough.
Charging or not does not affect it.
Being suspicious about screen protector I rwmoved it but no change
Did anyone else experience anyrhing similar?
Thanks in advance for help.

Same problem here
Hi, I have the same problem here, I did woked on froyo for about a day or two, and the problem was not there, I upgraded to Overcome 2.0 and the problem is now there.
Similar to you, on landscape the problem is less evident, but still there.
In my case, on you-tube application, I don't have any shacking.
I hope someone finds a solution, problem seems to be software-based.

I just checked it, you are right, youtube does not present the same problem.
Lets hope for a solution from the experts.
Cheers

anyone?
this shaking is driving me nuts......the screen shakes so much when held down down that it pretty much renders google maps unuseable.
HELP PLEASE!!!
is it a screen sensitivity issue that we can tweak or something?
i've been googling for a month for answers now but no luck...
please please...

Similar topic in XDA
Hi guys, there is a similar topic here in XDA:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14354988&posted=1#post14354988
I have the same problem in my Galaxy Tab, and I show in a page in fgfaria.com
I now suspect it may be a deffect in some specific feature in some library used by some apps and not used in other apps.
I installed Android SDK in my PC, and created an simple app following a tutorial, with a list of countries that can be scrolled up and down. In this very simple app, the problem doesn't happen, just like youtube.
I've found an app that could potentially solve the problem, but my GT is not rooted, and can't use it. It's called "ILITEK Touch Utility" and it's available for free in Android Market.
Let me know if it's useful for any of you.
Regards,
Fabio

My tab does exactly the same thing as per your weblink.
The app i have download but once i hit the calibrate button, I somehow get denied access.
Any way around it? This shaking is getting old......sigh

Software, not hardware
Hi all,
In addition to touch test apps and youtube app, there are some other apps that don't present the problem. One specific interesting case is the one of the HelloListView tutorial presented in Android Developers website.
I've followed the tutorial, and created this illustrative app that just creates a list and allows you to scroll up and down. This specific app doesn't present the problem we've been discussing. I've made it available for download as apk file in the end of that same testing page (fgfaria.com)
That application being so simple and not presenting the problem, and the other apps that also don't present it, makes me think that the problem may appear when some specific library gets included in an app. Possibly something related to hardware acceleration, for example (just guessing, no specific reasons to believe that).
If only we could isolate the cause of the problem, we could notify Google and/or Samsung and influence a new patch release.
This is as far as I have gone so far. Ideas, reactions?
Regards,
Fabio

Hi Chris, I believe the denied access is because the GT is not rooted. The app must need access to pretty low level adjustments, and only rooting the device would make that possible.
I have the same messages in my GT, but rooting is kind of my last option to solve this.
My current options are:
1) Wait for an official Gingerbread update
2) If that doesn't solve, I'll contact my factory warranty
3) If they deny this is a problem, or if they can't fix it, I'll try rooting and using this app
While the first option is not available, I'll continue my search for another fix.
Cheers,
Fabio

Another possible explanation for the problem not happening in the app from the tutorial is that libraries being used include some kind of filter not used in problematic apps...

mine shakes but not noticable,.. i didn't notice this on froyo

Hi,
Thank you all for responses. I have been searching too but did not find anything.
However I have a theory.
The screen shaking phenomenon does not happen (or unnoticably little) when you are on a dark screen. Web browser included.
Is this your observation too?
Cheers

mine do shake even if its dark, originally i found this "bug" couple of days ago, when im in bed late at night, i initially thought that the shaking was via my finger, and was surprised to see this post a while ago

Note: My tab is rooted because I'm currently running the Overcome 2.0 RC1 rom.
*major headache *

Fully agree! Mine shakes only in light background! Same problem, but in this case, it looks more like a hardware issue than software (intuitively, at least, hardware is more likely to be affected by screen luminosity than software). The solution though, could be a software filter of fast screen movements...

Anyone? There is a solution for Galaxy S (forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=844216&page=3#). There must be a solution for Galaxy Tab 7 too...

Hi everyone,
Is the same problem happening in the new 2.3.3 asia roms?
Do you have any experience?
Cheers.

Skygo or 3 dot menu?

I will be receiving my new device today and I am having a bit of a dilemma. For the first time, I am considering running my device stock un-rooted as I really like to have the skygo app which will only function on an un-rooted device. The problem is, I know the 3 dot menu will really do my head in.
I am coming from the hox + were this menu can be disabled without root so, firstly, could somebody tell me how prevailent this is at present? Are there still a lot of apps with this problem?
The ideal solution for me would be to have skygo working on a rooted device but I have searched and searched and have not been able to find a solution for this. Is there one?
Also, perhaps a noob question, is it possible to root the device, remove the 3 dot menu then un-root it and still have this modification on place?
Any observations and help would be grately appreciated.

This is also the main reason I rooted. There are still a LOT of apps with the 3 dot menu and it is unbelievably annoying to see that black bar so often. I don't know why htc didn't just leave the option to long press back for menu in the stock Rom.

Yes, the 3 dot menu is there for many apps. Yes, it is annoying. However, seeing as the screen is an decent size and I have always had the 3 dots since owning the phone, I am used to it now, it doesn't bug me all that much.
Also, I think there is a decent chance this will be fixed when htc send out an update.
Sky go just recently updated to include working on the HTC one, who knows how long it will last.... Which is why I would say to stick with Unrooted for now if you are a sky go user

Since you already have a HOX+, enable the on screen menu & check the apps you frequently use if they are updated & don't need the menu button anymore. This way you will know if it will bother you or not.

Root the stock rom on your device, disable 3 dot menu, remove the Superuser binaries, install SkyGo. Works a treat!

If someone would like to confirm this as working....
I'd be more than happy with such a solution.

Where I put "Works A Treat" it should read "Should work a treat". I haven't tested it on this device but I had a similar problem getting SkyGo to work on my Nexus 10. I had to root first, edit the build.prop to think it's a different device and then unroot. Worked perfectly.

Im keen to get SkyGo working as well so I will flash back to stock and test. Will report back in half hour or so.

I would appreciate that if you would. This would be the perfect solution for me. Unfortunately, I am not hopeful after reading about this on the net despite there not being a definitive answer.

Well it kind of worked. You no longer get the doesnt work on a rooted device message however you do get the Unsupported Device message. This is because SkyGo doesnt officially support the One yet. A news report I just read suggests that Sky are increasing there supported devices next week to include the One and the S4.
I would suggest waiting until SkyGo is updated next week and then try the above method.

Nope, sky go now does officially get support for htc one. I downloaded it yesterday, it mentions this phone in the most recent updates. And I tried it out for a few seconds, streamed countdown fine.
Just to confirm I am on an Unrooted htc one.

Issue with sense based roms?

Hi I am pretty new here and unable to post in specific threads of the different roms because of post requirements but I have noticed that all the sense based roms are unable to do one thing and that is play mlb.tv games on the at bat app. It shows an error saying unable to find my location so it won't let me see any of the games at all. This isn't such a huge deal but it would be nice if there is a fix or if anyone is aware of why this is happening. All cm10 roms work fine and don't give me an issue with mlb games so I just find it weird.
Sorry if this is in the wrong area feel free to move it if need be.

hmm i tried it and its a paid subscribtion but i didnt get any errors? and sorry not gonna pay just to test and help fix

I've been using at bat for years and never had an issue.. I watch and listen to games to this day on my HTC one..
I may have the answer for you though. Pull down the shade, tap settings, scroll to developer options, enable developer options with the toggle on the top right, go to allow mock locations and make sure it is NOT checked.
I'm pretty sure this will fix your problem, so enjoy and hit thanks if this helped you.. Have a great day!

If what @BrianBaker said doesn't fix it. It could be the same thing as the problem people have with some games, Veetle, or the Watch ESPN app. Here is the fix for that.
If none of that works, it could be an issue with an ad-blocker program. Try disabling ad-blockers if you are doing that.
