Noticed that Google Earth had recently come available on the marketplace for the Desire.
I have it installed but am unable to use it properly as my desire seems to randomly reboot whilst using it.
1st time I fired it up I zoomed in one level to find only a black screen and then it rebooted.
2nd time I tried I managed to zoom in to my location and then it just rebooted with no black screen this time.
I updated to the OTA update that HTC pushed out the same day so was wondering if anyone else is experiencing similar issues or whether my update has gone sour and should hard-reset.
Also (very weirdly), while I was downloading Google Earth my phone was on charge and downloading over GPRS and the device become very hot. The device actually rebooted whilst doing this as well and got stuck on the HTC boot screen after vibrating at me 4 or 5 times. This happened twice so I unplugged the power and seemed fime after that.
So what am I looking at here? Google Earth problem? OTA update has partially broken my phone? Faulty charger/faulty device?
Phone was running absolutely fine up until that OTA update and Google Earth install......
UPDATE: Ok it seems my phone is rebooting whilst on charge as well no matter what im running, seems to get extremely hot. Looks like my issues could be a dodgy OTA update. Anyone experienced the Google Earth issues i've stated though?
i cant find the Google earth on my market place.. I'm in vietnam now..how can i install this app?
Try this

no problems here, i've the official ota update no costum rom installed.
Thanks......
Working fine here. I had it installed before the OTA update and everything is working nice and smooth.
Google Earth appeared in my market only 2 days after the update. I downloaded and it seems to be working fine, no issues. I have an unlocked unrooted Desire
Just installed earth on my updated unbranded unmoded desire and it works fine, I believe others have the same charging issue as you though.

Couldn't install the SDK6 version on my HTC Desire. It started installing but broke at the end, and left 92 images of icons in my photo gallery.
I'm having problems as well. The official link to mobile installation doesn't work, and I cannot find it on market either. Very annoying!
The .apk linked above does not seem to install either. Any other ideas, anyone?
installed it on stock rom no problem, used ut for a couple of days and deleted it, taking up to much space !
UPDATE:
I uninstalled Google maps updates because I thought it might be a very similar program and therefore interfering with Earth installation - and it worked!

I installed Google Goggles from the Martket the other day.
Its loads but after going through the first couple of screens it disappears (I guess it minimizes as i dont get any force close message).
Is anyone else having the same issue or is it working for you?
Same issue here im afraid.

It also happened to me, it worked fine until I upgraded it
Same here too.
It was working on mine originally but since I updated something it now fails as you describe.
I was messing about using it with a USB camera which worked fine btw.
I posted about this on Modaco and some ignorant tw**t posted a sarcy reply about why would I want to use it anyway with a front facing camera
Probably doesn't work unless you have a fake location set (like Google Earth).
Tried with fake my location running still not working!
Greetings. I have a Motorola Xoom and when I run Netflix, the first time it looks fine. After that, When I run it again, the Netflix menu looks huge and I cannot really navigate around it. The only way to fix the problem is to either clear the Netflix cache and data every time before I use it (requiring me to log back in each time), or installing version 1.3 (which then annoyingly prompts me to upgrade every time I launch it).
Does anyone else have this problem? Is there a fix?
Nobody else has this problem? Really?
I run Netflix on Xoom quite often but I don't have the problems you describe. My issues are usually with the app locking up and needing to force close it and restart. It was definitely running much better in the older versions.
I have the exact same problem, but I can't solve it even if I clear the cache. It's somehow showing the "stretched" phone UI instead the tablet UI. It's just unusable now.
Same problem here.....it went away for awhile, but it is back. Even tried facotry reset, didn't work.
I was able to install an HD version on Xoom running ics ROM

May fix your problem but I doubt it. This should just change the buffering.
I had netflix issues too with honeycomb. It wouldn't even load to even log in.
Flashing the EOS nightly ICS rom fixed it.
What I did is uninstall find version 1.3 install that and visit the market it sees the old version and updates it.
Working fine now.
I have 1.3 if you need it I think but its the one found in xda forums

I have been having some weird issues with the Nexus 7 that google gave me so that they could look into the "lag issue".
There was stuff happening before I took the video, it launched the news & weather widget (I think) which prompted the orlando website to come up. Not really sure.

It is becoming a huge problem, and I am not sure what to do about it. I don't think a factory reset, or pushing a new firmware image down will fix the problem as it doesn't seem like it is consistent. If I reboot the device all works fine, after several hours 4+ it starts happening, reboot again and everything works alright.
Just really weird, and would appreciate some insight.
Hi all,
I have a problem with the Play Store on my Nexus 7 what is bugging me since I got the device and that I never experienced on any other Android device I own(ed). This problem has been present from the beginning with any version of Android (got the Nexus 7 with 4.2.1 and got the 4.2.2. update quickly) and Play Store. Even the brand new 4.0 version that has been rolled out just yesterday (the bright one with the new tile design) showns this error.
The problem is this: in 3 of 4 cases when I hold my device in portrait mode and start play store and update an app, the screen constantly "flashes" every second while downloading, it´s that graphical "zoom in" effect that you get when you open an app. The problem is that I can´t leave this screen with the "back" button, it simply doesn´t work and the page keeps on flickering and showing that strange effect. Only the "home" button helps. After downlaoding and installing the update, everything woks fine.
What I already tried to get rid of the problem (none of them did help, though..):
- deleted cache and data from paly store, uninstalled update of play store, so Android reinstalled updates
- tried new version 4.0 of play store
- deleted, rebooted and reinstalled gmail account on Nexus 7
Anyone experienced this glitch? Any hints on how to solve this?
Thanks a lot,
Markus
Try stopping Downloads and Download Manager in Apps > All and clearing cache and data for them. Then reboot and try Play again.
My nexus been doing the same thing since new but in landscape mode only, annoying, but never bothered me too much. I just try to remember to keep portrait mode while updating.

I've been playing with roms and kernels lately, settling on Buttered Grouper 4.2.2 with Franco kernel r65. Just noticed the other day that Play Store flickering is gone. Coincidence?

This has been happening since I got the Nexus on release day. Thought it was normal behavior LOL. Completely stock -> Stock 4.3 ROM rooted/M-Kernel a61.

Wow, it´s still present on the NEW Nexus 7 ? Unbelievable, maybe time to jump off the Nexus bandwagon ... most people think it´s a huge advantage to have a nexus and always the newest android version, but to me it´s more and more a disadvantage. When 4.3 came out half of my apps stopped working, and i had to wait several days and even weeks (heck, some are STILL not compatible with 4.3) to use them again...
Hi XDA,
I'm having an issue where every time i unlock my phone using a lock screen notification to go directly to the app, my phone crashes and goes back to the lock screen. Is anyone else having this issue? Is there a fix?
Thank you

My phone is standard, no root or anything.

Had the same issue since I got it. There is no fix until they fix it software side.
I have the same issue! Running latest 1.1.2 software, no root.
I'm from Germany by the way, were are you from guys? Would be interesting to see if devices from a certain area have the same issues.
This ****ty software feels so beta its unbelievable.
UK here, had the problem since launch day
Another EU version here with the same issue. Located in the Nordics
I'm also having this issue and the new update should resolve it!
