Is there any tmobile customer who actually likes this new market layout? Tmobile has replaced the "downloads" button with a "tmobile recommended apps" button. Not only is that self-righteous and gay, but all the apps there seem completely random besides the tmobile apps. Wtf.
Is there a way to push a non-tmobile version of market? Im not sure, but i dont think this is the new version 1.71. Mine still shows as 1.66. If anyone has 1.71 please post it here. Id rather have an updated market app than this gay ass layout change. Thanks.
I have v1.66 as well, and no I do not like the market.
I have never liked the market.
Category layouts are dumb.
People search the market in 3 ways.
They either know exactly what they want... Search Program Name
They know the type of thing they want... Search "program does this.."
Or they go window shopping. Scroll, scroll, scroll, scroll...etc
The F*ing scrolling is driving me crazy! By scrolling through a huge list, I never remember where I was, and I have to constantly start over.
I want to be able to see what apps were uploaded each day. That way I can search a given day and know that there are no apps that I like for that time period.
Hmm what did the Dev's throw out yesterday....Oh cool! aw crap. Neat!
I stopped looking at their "recommendations" a long time ago.
I don't care what they think I might want. I sure as hell don't want My Account which has been listed as a #1 app since it came out.
For more experienced users..The F*ing program doesn't do anything that logging into your account, or using one of 20 other programs doesn't already do. Like I need ANOTHER battery monitor!
I just found a market app that might be better. Called My Market by Chris Hager- allows multiple filters, recommendations based on users comments, and you can bookmark items. Let you know how it goes.
OK this is one of those programs that you find once in a while that are the "OMG Why isn't this standard." type of thing.
It does have a little problem staying connected to the market server when I am using it, but....
I can scroll through all the apps in the market, bookmarking any apps that look interesting, and "Removing" ones that are not. (removing just hides them in a folder called "Removed")
I can mark an app as "recommended", not star'd like the market, but just a flag saying that I liked the program.
I can also email the market link for an app to someone from inside the program.
You do have to open the market to DL though which is kinda annoying, but the fact I can sort through stuff makes it totally worth it.
Yea i gotta say mymarket is pretty cool. Only thing that bugs me is that it looks like the old market from 1.1. Thanks for the suggestion.
So 1.71 is the market from 2.0?
I also noticed that apps I have installed originally from the market and later uninstalled due to a wipe or whatever. Then reinstalled from SdCard are now showing up as updates available. Would of been ok, however I have two apps I simply do not want to update and its annoying the heck out of me because I now have to look at them everytime I goto the market.
How did this Market update happen? I don't remember updating it or was it forced or a forced layout change or something?
Looks like you can go into Settings > Manage Applications > Market
Uninstall Market upgrade. Of course how long before that comes back.
I think this is the market you guys are talking about.
http://www.mymarket.cc/
I noticed in the /data/data/ folder there is two listings for the market. One being an upgrade and one being the regular.

Apparently it takes less than a day to come back. I uninstalled the T-market yesterday morning before work and it was back before the end of my work day. This kind of sucks. All their "update" did was make me have to use the physical menu button to check my downloads for updates. More time wasted and more wear on my menu button. Thanks T-Mobile.
I went into /system/apps and deleted the vending updater program. Also uninstalled the "update" to the market. Not having any trouble now. Was having a ton of trouble with stuff not install after downloading. The update hasn't come back yet either, so so far so good.
After my uninstall I haven't seen it come back as of yet.
Yeah the market app is kinda screwy lately. Literally last night before I went to sleep I was using it to download something.
I wake up today in the morning and it's completely gone I have never had that happen before.
Lets see if it comes back on its own through out the day hehe.
Honestly I really hope it's my rom doing something screwy though cause I would hate knowing that they can take off an app off my phone when ever they want just like that. WTF you know.

How did you uninstall the update? I just went to settings>applications>manage applications>Market--uninstall updates. I may try Gilliland12's method but I don't know what else that method may effect.
sxfx:
Many people seem to be having problems with the market on Cyanogen's latest. I always wipe and do a full install and I don't use a2sd, compcache or swap and I've had few to no problems with his ROM's (just some random reboots on one of the older versions).

Yeah Iv been using Cyan for as long as I can remember. I do use a2sd, and some swap nothing major.
But I don't seem to have 99% of the problems everyone else is having heh.
Just a glitch here or there but nothing I cant really figure out.
This market thing really just happened recently when tmo started screwing with it. I guess we will see what happens in the next few days .
Supposedly there is a really nice updated coming from Cyan sometime soon. ..
This appear to start after a I installed ad free from market, the appear as little stars and usually direct to weird program in market, never ever had this before, I can upload a screenshot but together how to capture desktop.

Don't select them... that's spam 100%. Get rid off what you've installed recently (HD Wallpaper app was the culprit in my case). But, whatever you do, do NOT go to that link!
Wouldn't be adfree that's for sure, never had a problem with it.
Is there any app whick can tell me where this ads come from? I never had them before until I installed adfree, I uninstalled it already thought it came from it..
On both my Nexus 4 & Nexus 7 running latest factory Jellybean I have noticed that whenever I update an app using the Google play store I get a little popup message saying 'Internal Storage Left' and then a number that is only a couple of MB.
Both my devices have quite a few GB free so I am wondering what this means, where it is coming from and how to stop it.
Cheers
Baz.

Never heard of it.
Curiously I did notice this morning that the amount of memory displayed per app is consistent on both my devices. That is to say that updating the Ebay app on my Nexus 4 gave the popup of 'Internal Storage Left 1.13MB', updating the same app on my Nexus 7 gave exactly the same message.
The same happens to me... Nexus 7 2013

You all know apps install on the system partition I believe..? Not their data...but the apps themselves. If the system partition fills up, no more apps....no matter how much internal sd space you have left.
Correct me if I'm wrong??
Not saying this is the issue at hand....just wanted to point out the proper place to look at space available.

I got also that message this morning and I have 4G+, a play store bug?
There are reports in many android related forums about this, the general consensus is it's a Google bug with one of it's services.
It happened on my HTC, I actually did a soft reset (shutdown and battery pull) thinking something was crashing out and I have not seen it happen again since.
Pressing and holding the power button on the Nexus 7 for 10 seconds will trigger a soft reset as well.
It started appearing on my GNex and n7, seems like it's on my mum's n4 too.

I just started seeing this on my 2012 and 2013 Nexus 7 devices. Anytime I install something from the market I get this message. It is telling my I have like 2MB free. There is at least 10GB free so I'm not sure what is up.
I've noticed this message appear today when i've tried to install some apps on my N4. So i uninstalled the most likely ones that could potentially interfere with the system and reinstalled them one by one and on my N4 it seems that ES File Explorer File Manager is the guilty app. I can still install apps but i get a pop up with the low storage alert every time i install anything. There's 12GB spare space on my phone as well.
Interesting.. I have that installed too. I'll uninstall to see what happens. Thank for the info.

I've done testing on my Nexus tonight and since i uninstalled ES File Explorer i do not get the low space message. I've installed loads of apps tonight including some huge Gameloft ones and no errors or low space messages. Now i need to find another File Manager app.

Thanks, I was also getting this message recently. I am not sure if it really matters but for now I have also uninstalled and will just use FX File Explorer, Astro or some other alternative.

ES File Explorer was updated today so hopefully it may resolve the issue. I have also contacted the developer and given them this URL to see whether or not they can identify if it is the cause.
Pretty sure that they added something in, all they need to do is reverse the code change.

Good call, mate. This was irritating me from a knowledge standpoint. I'm okay to keep ES installed until this silliness is patched, (their file-explorer is that good..imo) I just wanted to know where it was coming from.
I did uninstall it just to test, and I no longer received the messages either. So this is basically settled. I'll email the developers about the problem, just as Baz8755 already has, and I'm sure it'll be fixed in no time. Everyone doesn't need to get a new file explorer--unless they really want to, of course.
Anyway, thanks again DodgyDave100. You're not quite so dodgy, are you?
And here I just figured the new Market app was doing it. Well hopefully ES fixes it. It is a bit annoying.
You can turn it off
Es file manager is definitely the culprit. If you go to settings>display and uncheck the box for Show space low warning you will disable the popup. I assume it's showing it when you use more than half of your internal memory.
Usage Manager app (built-in/stock) used to work.
It no longer does. When I tap it, the screen briefly flashes dark (like it was opening), and then it instantly closes. No error message is shown.
I'm running Rooted Stock MI9 (rooted with RDLV - MJ5 doesn't seem to have anything I want that justifies risking breaking a working setup), with Wanam, TiBu, Light Manager (paid), Keyboard Manager (to use hacker keyboard with terminal and ssh, and swype everywhere else), and Pen Window manager, plus some really boring, typical apps. No games, nothing other than the listed apps that does anything exotic.
It stopped working some time during the last several weeks. I have changed no settings during this time. The only app I have installed is Light Manager Pro (I previously used the free version, until a paid one came out), and I doubt this is the problem, but I have run normal app updates.
Anyone know what it is that causes this issue? I can still get to the battery and data usage screens from settings. It's just usage manager that doesn't seem to work.
Stock MJ5, lots of other apps, no games or weird stuff. Never had Usage Manager on the screen, but I put it on now and it works. Did you try removing it and reinstalling it? (I know widgets sometimes get screwed up and you have to redo them, I've never seen it with an app, but maybe?)

Is there also a widget form of Usage Manager? I'm just using the app.
I can't remove/reinstall it, I don't think - it's a stock app, and doesn't show in application manager...
In any event, I suspect it's one of the root apps that's breaking it. But I don't know which one or what needs to be done to make them play well together.

Long-press the icon on the screen and you can remove the icon on the screen. Then reinstall the screen icon.
What I meant about widgets is that I've had widgets do weird things and by removing and reinstalling them, they worked again.

No bueno, How about unrooting, asking for a warranty swap and living with MJ5? Or isn't having the link on the desktop worth the drive? I think for a little thing like that I'd just live with it. I save my fights for nuclear war (like an OTA bootlooping the phone).

Well that escalated quickly....
This is clearly a software problem. I think it unconscionable and selfish to return known-good hardware for a software problem, because then the cost of this bogus warranty return gets passed on to everyone else (in other words, you and I). I choose not to make the world worse for every other AT&T customer (we suffer enough) to get one app that I am almost certainly responsible for breaking working again.
I'm sure I could fix it by reflashing stock, but I don't really want to do that, because it's so much work to get everything set back up. I was asking in the hopes that someone has seen this before.
Anyone know if there's a way to "reset app data" like you can for most apps, on the usage manager app?
I have pretty much the same setup except I'm on MI9 and don't have that keyboard setup you have. Mine does the same thing. Never could find out what broke it. Sure would like it back though.

I must stand corrected. I had the same fc issues last week with usage manager. Tried putting the shortcut back on home screen and messed with it for about a hour trying to find what broke it. Finally gave up. Just tried it now and it functions just fine. Oh well. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

I believe mine started after installing the ATT Allaccess app
Mine broke when I used SD Maid. It deleted a temp file that much I know. Just not sure where. I'm going to refresh the rom and attempt to recreate the break by using sd maid. When I see what file is deleted I'll see if simply putting it back does the trick. I'm using a note 3 att 900a with the Walter White lollipop rooted rom.
The application is there, but no way to access it
same issue no smart manager
I'm having the same issue is installed on my phone but no icon to launch it
Why is this happening to my phone? this glitch happens in chrome too when im scrolling horizontally through images

someone should really explain this
Same issue on my Verizon S6. I feel dumb that I have spent 30 minutes trying to access this app.
Same here. Why cant we do download booster as well? Carrier killing a good phone.
Found it. You have to put the usage manager widget on the home screen then click on battery and it will take you to the usage manager.
The usage manager is not the same thing as the smart manager.
360 security app from playstore does the same thing.
hmmm I see that the app is on the phone, maybe someone can tell us how to unhide an app as it seems to of been Hidden rather than removed for some reason by Verizon and ATT.
ooooh, I think I see why ATT and Verizon Hid this app. It is installed at Ring 0 , Same level as Knox. Hmmm wonder if we found our Exploit Point of access for Root.
What do you mean it's installed at Ring 0? How can you see that information?

This is more a windows referance but a program that operates at ring 0 has full operation permissions that allow it to modify read/right code that effects base operation of the device. In otherwords Root access without user permission. If you open up the Application manager, Settings>systems>Storage>used space>Applications. Then scroll Down and press on the app it shows you the App info, usually used to Force stop or Unistall manually as you'll notice most Bloatware Unistall command is greyed out and doesn't work.
But anyways if you scroll down, It'll show you Permissions the App has and is allowed to do, and a nice little note by Samsung telling you this app works at administration level at the same level as Knox and a reason being so it doesn't use a lot of memory. Basically the Smart Manager App has Permissions to pretty much do everything on the phone.
Ps. Looking over the apps I decided to look at Usage Manager the app that att seems to have replaced it with. and it has no where near the Permission level that Smart Manager has. So it seems ATT did not like that app and used theres instead. with them Bootloader locking and Root locking the Device, I Wonder why.
I was looking at the feature.XML and there is a thing in there that has disable smart manager/ disable anti malware set to true...of course without root we can't change that line to see if that bring access to it back

Edit: not sure if pictures posted, but using root explorer, I can view the main folder and almost all system folders. In system/app there are quite a few apps that have permissions like smart manager. I was surprised to see the permissions on the kiosk app.

yah its really mind boggling the permisions these simple apps have. guess when something is installed at root level in factory they just give em all permissions and hit next.
Can USB debugging be used to maybe change one of these apps and push it back? I figure you can't because it's r/o, but there are a lot of other high level folders that are r/w
