Anyone having issues with the market right now?

+1... funny thing is that I was able to get some apps to download/update after several tries.

Yes. They seem to be having some issues.

issues here too. cm6

yeah same here. grrr

Ok, just glad I'm not the only one. Was going to flash a new ROM, but I'll wait till this gets worked out.

HA!! I just switched to a new ROM and I have been posting in the devs thread telling them the ROM isn't allowing me to download anything from the market. Oops! At least I know where the problem is coming from now though. Too bad I have wiped my phone and now can't download Titanium Backup to restore.
Also I have tried 3G, 4G and Wifi. The market just isn't working.

Yeah, maps won't update. Guess ill have to wait. Now says my maps aren't even installed.

1 out of 3 downloaded (smart keyboard pro) maps and another app are hanging as well. I was wondering what was going on. Glad I saw this thread I was considering a wipe. Using calkulins rom.

This is driving me crazy.
It goes from "Starting download" to "Download paused"
dumb

Same here. Started this afternoon when I went to update some apps. Goes straight to download paused (never even seen that before) and after some time says download was unsuccessful. Tried downgrading market but it didn't help. I hope Google gets the market issues fixed soon. They keep secretly updating it and half the time it works and the other half it gets serious bugs.

What a cluster, but I'm glad It's not just me.

Just open up and log into GTalk and the downloads should automatically resume their downloading....

Market download issue with root?

A few days ago I successfully rooted my phone to s-off status. Since then I have installed ROMmanager and ClockworkMod.
For the past 2 days, I've been having Market download issues where some apps begin and appear to complete downloading, but don't actually install. I've tried clearing the download manager and restarting, but that didn't work.
Anyone else seeing this?

Mine just recently today started force closing after every app I clicked update on. I would restart it, work fine then click on an app to update then FC. Thing is, the application continues to update normally and works fine. Its just the market is screwy or something...

Try clearing the data for market... Then reboot. I haven't had the issue with my 4g, but I did on my vibrant and that was the solution.
Worth a shot.

Yeah, I am having issues. Mine will start to download, then it will just stop. Same with updates, I think it is a Market issue. Not a phone issue.
But mine just started tonight.
Edit: Woah, it works now.. Looks like my issue is gone, check on your side.
Edit 2: Stopped working again!
Edit 3: Looks like apps will only install when I hit "Automatic updates"
Edit 4: Scratch "Edit 3" seems to only work sometimes.. Looks like a market issue still, and not phone.

okay thought it was just my phone, i am having the same issue where it will start but then just disappear

Wow, you really took my brain for a ride. I think I need a vacation! ... I hate how these issues can come out of the blue because they're all server-side. I've had to swap my phone out several times before I got one without dust under the screent, etc. On top of this, my neighborhood has downed towers so the network is a bit spotty. All this started the day after I received my latest MT4G. This is the stuff heart attacks are made from!

If you want a quick fix go to settings> applications> market and hit "uninstall updates"

Lol IDK, last time there was a Market issue.. Wow
It lasted about 15 hours. I hated it
But hmm. It seems to be working now. I will try to download a few more apps to confirm.
Yeah, it is working now.

I was just able to download a few apps consecutively, individually (not via update all), and they all worked. Perhaps issue is now resolved?

Facebook push???

Has anyone else started getting Facebook push notifications??? I haven't updated the Facebook app since a week or two ago, but as of last night I started getting pushes.
Anyone else?

I did as well and mine hasn't been updated either.

i haven't gotten any except for a random chat message that i got while i was still online on my computer.

I did as well. Either EC05 fixed it or Facebook tweaked something on their end. I did a double take when one popped up lol

Wasn't EC05 since I am still on EB13.

I was using Flow to get my notifications but last night I updated to EC05 and all of a sudden my fb app notifications started pushing again. Maybe they finally got their act together.

Is there a setting or does it just do it automatically? I have the latest fb update and I'm on EB13 but don't get push notifications.

When I go into settings all I see is Refresh Interval, I have it set to 2 hours but I don't see an option to enable push notifications..Am I missing something?

yeah, i got a notification just now on EB13.. i thought it was the update, but it was just facebook.. grrrrr!

I got one today , first time in a while. EB13

I wonder if sprint had them turn off the feature because of dk28 being leaked (remember it worked at first) and now that there is an official non-pulled version of Froyo (since only 2.2+ supports push notifications) they turned it back on... just a thought.

Are you expecting it to notify you of Likes? It won't.
Otherwise, there's nothing to set AFAIK. I did turn off the update interval though.

Its not supported yet which is a joke. You only get notified of messages and event invites.

I wasn't getting the facebook push and neither was my husband, but after updating to E05 we are now getting the push notifications. We also had an update from facebook so I am not sure which enabled the push again.

gapps force closes after 07/16 update

I'm assuming that it's just a background process that's getting forced closed, because I'm still able to use all of the gapps without problems.
This is pretty annoying however.
Anyone else experiencing this?

I think I saw it once today.

I get this occasionally, at the same time as account sync, or afterwards. My guess right now is this is related to the bookmarks sync issues I (and others) have had.

Thanks, I'll try disabling bookmark sync .. not a huge deal for me anyway.

Just picked up a Transformer yesterday and updated and I have a fairly re-occuring force close of the google gapps(fairly being 3-4 times an hour or so). Never stops running anything, just popping up alot. Annoying.
Will try to disable bookmark sync hopefully that helps, otherwise I may be returning it before the 14 day because my fiancee thinks it's too heavy

There is currently not a Facebook app in the market. They haven't optimized it for Honeycomb yet, but you can get it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1143913&highlight=kanged and that should work. The only issue I have with it, is that the friends list part force closes.

They must have recently taken it down, thanx for the link tho

i had the fb app on my tablet and one day it just disappeared...they took it down.

Use Friend Me

I use Friendcaster. Lots more options and when you say No Notifications..... it stops polling and giving you notifications. I notices a lift in battery when I uninstalled it. Friendcaster just seems nicer and smoother to me.

I've had that happen with the market a few times too. I normally just back out and go back in until it finally works.

There is actually a Honeycomb/Tablet edition, though in beta...
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.handmark.friendstream&feature=search_result
Works well for me, and definately less crashes than the native Facebook for Android app...

I've actually gone so far as to uninstall the official Facebook on my Vibrant running CM 7. With the last update on July 18th, for some reason, even if you set it to never poll for notifications, never refresh, and not to sync, it still keeps the news feed open in the background and constantly refreshes it. I noticed huge battery drain one day when I took my phone off of the charger, barely used it all day, and later that night around 11 I had 14 percent battery warning. When I looked into the battery history, Facebook took up a whopping 81 percent of the battery drain on that particular charge.
Will stick to using the 3rd party options.

There are a lot of apps that you won't find in the market because they haven't been optimized for Honeycomb. I normally just install them on my phone, pull the apk, then transfer it to my tab. So far every app I tried worked just fine including fb and google voice.

Friendcaster for Tab seems great to me, but it loads continuously when I select the messages tab, not showing anything... if that'll be solved, and chat will be added, it will be the perfect FB app for me!
PS: anyone solved the messages issue?

Mine does that with messages too, and yes, chat is a must. At least chat works on the Facebook app though. That's about the only good thing about it. While we're on the subject of honeycomb apps and notifications not working; how hard is it for Words With Friends to get notifications to work?! Is it really that difficult? I play a word and THEN it tells me it's my turn.

This Facebook app works just fine in Honeycomb.

My Messages tab does that too, as does the Events tab. Very annoying. I really hope a new beta's released soon. I sent the dev a PM about it but haven't heard anything back yet.
Strangely enough, I've seen a walkthrough video of the app (on Android Central I think) which showed them using the Messages and Events tab both working fine.
EDIT: New beta just released fixes the Messages issue, but I still have problems with Events.
