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:
http://pastebin.com/BXWkS8DJ
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.
Hey guys quick question, is there anyway to search in touchwiz or on the vzw note 2 for specific apps / files like on all other android phones? I cant seem to find a box to type in, and since I have hundreds of apps to manually search through this may be a deal breaker for me. I just switched from an iphone 5 to a droid dna to the note 2 all within the last week so I'm fairly new to Android. Sorry for the dumb question and hope someone can help (cant find anything online.)
use google search. it searches through the apps on the phone

How about Google Gesture Search ?!
No the Google search app that comes installed on any stock rom. If you type the name of the app, it first searches the phone.

Dear xda users,
I have quiet some time a problem getting notification message in whatsapp and hangouts (even in the previously version on Google talk).
When i clear all apps with Task Manager. Exit to home screen. meaning, Whatsapp is not running in the background, I get no pushed messages, no notifications. Nothing at all.
I then launch the app and get all my "missed" message ,then exit back to the home screen and now I see the messages and notifications.
The same thing happen when the screen is off,actually it seem it start there.
I have no limitation on the background apps,surf only with 3g and it is happen also with hangouts,it is started a few months back before google update her app,in the old Google talk also.
The most strange thing is when i launch a game,because it uses the internet when i exit from it and not clear my task manger it seems like whatsapp and hangout getting the message for day or two and there again nothing,maybe i imagine i really do not know
My phone model is i9305 with official Samsung Nordic Rom.
i used avast anti virus until couple days ago.
By the way whatsapp+ that i saw here recently could help me in any way?
I really appreciate your help. :good:
want to clear it one and for all to enjoy my phone.
Thanks in advance,
David
Hi David,
you kinda answered yourself, the problem is with the task manager. I suggest reading the following:
http://www.howtogeek.com/127388/htg-explains-why-you-shouldnt-use-a-task-killer-on-android/
Chris Hoffman can explain better than me
BTW it's also says directly on whatsapp that it will not work well with task managers.
Cheers
Dear eytan123,
Thank you for your replay,I want to clarify myself and tell you that i do not use any external task manger,but only the built in one in jellybean.
In addition even when i do not "clear" my ram it still no working,i also compare it to others galaxy 3-i9300&i9305 that use and clear the ram with the built in task manager and still not suffer from this Phenomenon.
I guess Samsung keeps this app because it lets inexperienced users(unlike you and myself, or for that matter anyone in XDA ) the feeling that they can upgrade their performance...anyhow - It's strongly suggested that you don't activate\use ANY task killer.
Why not trying the suggested method for a couple of days? I'm sure your results will be much better
Thanks again for trying to help,but i already try this couple of times before open this thread.
Unfortunately not a single method that i tried was useful to me.
like to hear if you have another idea
upp
bumping a thread more than once every 24 hours is against the rules. don't post until you read them
Just noticed you asked about the whatsapp+ - it's not supposed to make things any better, only customizations. And you said the problem persists at the new hangouts.
If you're certain that your internet connection(cellular of course) is working good, before I suggest wiping and re-flashing or trying another rom I suggestthat you use the following app(it increases battery usage in a VERY MINOR way):
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5hbmRxbGltYXgucHVzaGZpeGVyIl0.
Try clear data
Make sure sync is on

Hi,
Thanks eytan123 but this app that you gave me it is just for rooted phones,i do not want to root my phone in this moment,about the rom,it is the same problem that i experienced in my previous official rom.
Still glad to hear about this app for future notice
Thanks hello5629,if you mean to clear app data i already try this also
You wanna tell me that only my phone suffer this problem?
Just making sure - have you tried to uninstall and reinstall the apps ?
yep,several times..
Well I guess that leaves you with factory reset your phone.
But since your'e not rooted keep in mind you'll lose all your apps..
ya i know,i do not really want to do it,i think i will open a thread in general android forum,maybe there when it is not only i9305 community,maybe some will have the answer.
Thanks again for your effort
After reading xda member "Clifford's" find that his ONE connected to his GEAR with almost full functionality (thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2468522) I had to do some investigations. S-voice, according to him, was the only feature that failed to function, even after installing s-voice. For you knowledge, his phone is running OMJ's 4.1.2 ROM, its not stock.
Test phone: AT&T HTC ONE (unlocked)
The following are the Roms I have tried and their outcome was exactly the same:
Gear manager.apk: first part of install completes. however, none of the 19 additional files install... not does the installer stop trying to complete
Galaxy Gear: Connects to phone for code verification, once code is confirmed, phone/device disconnect. the error is device exception.
ROMs
CM 10.1.3
Android Rev 22.0
Android Rev GE 4.0
CleanRom 5.0
CleanRom 6.0
Maximus HD 14.0
Maximus7 2.0.0
TrickDroid 8.0.0
ViperOne 2.1.0
So, needless to say, I was not only skeptical about the previous xda member's findings...I was frustrated.
So I got on the horn with some of my Dev friends and we found:
RayGlobe 8.0
HOLY S*#T! Gear installed along with the additional files. Now for the real test............(drum roll please)
Samsung Galaxy Gear paired with an HTC ONE!!!!!
Functionality:
All call functions work. Send, receive, deny, speaker/mic, end call, etc
Notifications work, but are slow
Can change watch faces
Find my gear/phone works
Not functioning (so far, will play more tomorrow):
Weather
S-voice
Media player
Gear manager is 50% functional. S-apps begins to load, but fails. Pressing on the settings button crashes GM (does restart/reconnect)
So, "I think", Sammy is intentionally keeping this device in the S-ecosystem. Why, you ask? ...............good question.........Sammy?
I am hoping with the above information, devs can work on how we can make this at least 80%-90% functional...?
Thanks for the information

I take it this is the same for nexus 4 device, not compatible with gear manager

The Gear acts as a BT headset and in most cases is just relaying info from the host apps of the (Samsung) phone it's paired with. You'll never get the Gear to work (properly) with a HTC phone for the same reason TW won't run (properly) on a HTC phone. Or Sense on a Samsung phone for that matter. HTC and Samsung's proprietary frameworks run too deep. And the Gear won't work on Samsung phones running AOSP for the same reason. S Voice on the Gear is so tightly interwoven with S Voice on the phone you can't clear data or disable it on the latter once the phone is paired with a Gear. And S Voice requires a network connection to work and the server does a device ID check so even if someone ports S Voice to an HTC phone the server will deny it access.

Thank you very much sir! Great job!
Please keep investgating the s-voice functionality. There is at least one s-voice clieng apk (from the S3, i think) that DOES work with HTC One. Can you check?

And a quck questin i forgot to ask earlier. Did you try with any 4.3 ROMs?

Thanks for the thanks!
Most of the above roms are 4.3. However, this seems to make no difference as I have now confirmed functionality on 4.1.2, 4.2.2 and 4.3.
The most stable rom, so far, is TrickDroid 8.0. Pretty much exactly the same r result as RayGlobe. Calls can be answered /rejected, speaker /mic are working (however, two ppl have complained about quality of my voice), call log works perfect, as does the contacts app. Find my gear /phone also works without a hitch.
I have tried multiple different ways to get s-voice to work. A couple of the roms have s-voice already built in. RayGlobe was the better rom in this respect... S-voice would run it evoked from the watch, but then went to "must agree to terms..." error (I had already agreed). But if you pressed the SV key on the phone, the watch mic takes the input.
Biggest issue... Last night when I very first got the gear.apk to install on the RayGlobe rom, I received an Gmail which was notified by the watch. Since then, I have yet to receive any notification, text/email/FB/twot etc on any rom.
The "settings" section of the Gear Manger is completely unusable. Every time I try to open settings, GM goes to black screen and crashes. My apps is pretty much the same.
All in all, I really don't care about s-voice... It would be nice to link it to G-now!?!? But if I can get the notification part working, and maybe figure out how to clean up the watch's microphone output... I would be happy.

Dude! I was so close to giving up... After 14 installs, bricking my phone twice and wasting my entire day... I had enuf! Just then I got a text from a dev friend who listened to me rant and ***** about Samsung's management! (Seems to be a common discussion these days, hmmm) but, nonetheless, I felt better.
It wasnt long after that we found RayGlobe 8.0.
BTW, I don't have a Sprint phone that I can test with... Maybe u can answer these questions...
1 do you have ANY of the notification functions working?
2. Can you control your media player?
3 have to used it to make calls as a speaker phone? Do people complain of voice quality?
4. Can use Gear Manager's "settings" and/or "my apps"?
Thanx,
MM007
No notification function..
Yes I could control my musuc from the watch

Yes I make calls almost exclusively from my gear
And I use the gear manager .. some times it force closes ..

Any updates on this? Any progress?
This is great, although we need to try identify and isolate what exactly allows the gear to pair up on certain roms and why it doesnt on others.
If its simply a matter of the APK's the gear manager is requesting to install, We could simply install those manually iv managed to extract them from the gear manager apk if anyone is interested in trying.
We all realize that the touchwiz dependent features will require touchwiz obviously, in saying that tho theres no reason why they cant be replaced with third party applications in the future.
still working...

So far I seem to have some notifications and s-voice working as long as the screen is on. Will not wake phone for entry. Getting closer but I think I could really use a seasoned Dev to get these APIs to link and function consistently

Does anyone know any of the devs from RayGlobe? This is the only rom I getting this error, "Need to agree to T&C". When you install the sv.apk, whether you run from phone or watch the first time, no T&C request.
I wonder if that is added back in, this ONE rom could work. This rom has shown the most functionality potential so far.
However, I am worried about the notifications. Very inconsistent. No one has yet to come up with any ideas. i have pretty much converted a ONE into an S3 with the apks installed. Weird using touch-wiz on an HTC.
I don't have access to a note 3. Here's my thought, can someone who has an N3 create a DL of the apks that gear attaches itself to. Mainly the notifications, s-voice, and weather. PLEASE.... Would really be a big help.

I have access to all of these. I put them all on my htc One but they reference the wrong directory so notifications etc dont work. i need someone who can unpack, re-write, and repack some bits of the apks.
hi, I used to always have a call confirm app installed. I have done too many call i didn't wanna do without it. but I can't find any that work for my new Huawei P20 PRO.
I guess it's because of the android version? none worked on android 8 and now android 9. I've tried many from the store, and I've made searches, i just can't find any app that works.
does anyone know of a modded app that works ?
thanks
I ended up installing 2 apps. True Phone, and Easy Call Confirm. 2 apps together work for what i wanted.

mod the xml manifest file in the apk
<manifest android:installLocation="preferExternal" android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar" package="PACKAGENAME.apk" platformBuildVersionCode="26" platformBuildVersionName="8.0.0">
<supports-screens android:anyDensity="true" android:largeScreens="true" android:normalScreens="true" android:smallScreens="true" android:xlargeScreens="true"/>
Swapp version code where necessary code 26 or 27 and version to 8.0.0 or 8.#.# ect
I just received my Mate 20 Pro and ran into the same issue. The call confirm app does only react once but even then it does open the main screen of the app. So instead of allowing or blocking a call, it either does nothing at all, or it opens the app screen itself.
