Protected apps missing DI18

Since I manually updated to DI18 protected apps are missing from the market. Is there anyway to fix this besides waiting?
I'm running stock.

Which protected apps are you looking for?

Specifically nightringer and pocket blu.

Here is the thread on the Google Help forum. They monitor it pretty well. If everyone comments on the thread it will keep it towards the top of their list and they might fix it faster.

Thanks. I commented on the thread, hopefully it gets fixed soon.

yea I noticed that there are about 3 apps that I can no longer access, although my buddy's captivate has no problem finding them.

This is still a HUGE ****ing problem. What the hell is going on? I've counted 6 apps I've tried to find in the market now but can't...

One of the people in the Google thread was saying they could now reach their desired protected app. Still no joy for me though (trying to download the ESPN Radio app and an app for my bank.) Very frustrating.
The whole marketplace access model seems kind of odd even though I kind of understand why it's there. But it seems there should be a better way to handle it, especially for larger partners/OEMs with a higher volume of updates. I haven't followed it closely enough, but I wonder if WP7's market will handle the process the same way. They've certainly thought through the overall OS update process much better (i.e., putting carrier/OEM software additions into a walled off silo.)

So what must be it...
I've been trying to figure out why I haven't been able to find Paypal or Blackboard Mobile Learn on the market for the last couple of days. I guess those fall under protected apps as well then?

No go for me either, no paypal, fandango, nothing.

This happened with the DI07 update.
Give it few days and you should see those protected app appear.

errrrrr.....this is really annoying...i just want one app and is the only one i can't find...
pure calendar

Seems to be working now (at least, I was able to find the ESPN radio app that wasn't available earlier.)

Yep fixed, I see my missing paid apps now

Working for me too. I hope they coordinate better next time.

Agreed. It's finally fixed.

Facebook, the new battery killing app.

I have a real issue with the new facebook, since they introduced chat to the FB app it stays open even when you use the back button, im not using home because I know that doesnt close the app. I try to avoid even pressing the app until it is fixed.

No Facebook drain here closes fine

Do you leave chat on? I have no problems either.

When you're at the main chat screen:
Hit Menu -> Go Offline.
That will sign you out of chat and not drain your battery.

now try to disable the notifications lol

The built-in chat sucks anyway.
Use go! chat, much better and no battery loss for keeping yourself logged in.

I never *****ed about chat in the app.
I would rather have a dedicated app for it.
My only complaint was that we never had push notifications.
And still don't.

we most certainly do now....and it works so well I had to downgrade to the last version of the app in order to turn them off....

I've never, ever received a push notification for anything besides a facebook message [which I received prior to this update] and neither have two of my friends with the G1 and G2.
So please, enlighten me on what we are doing wrong.

I actually just found the go offline button right after I posted this thread.lol

I had problems with the new Facebook app draining my battery. I un-installed then reinstalled Facebook from the market, and my battery draining issues were gone.

do you have the notifications enabled within the facebook app?
It's probably just a ****ty app problem. Some people can't get push notifications at all and others can't get them to stop no matter what haha. Sounds like a well written program lol

Yeah, who knows. It's facebook.
The thing that will always make me laugh is how everyone moved to Facebook, which is buggy as hell especially the chat function, from Myspace AFTER Myspace solved all of the technical issues they had.

am I the only one?
When I open chat and I click "Go Offline" the app... doesn't. it'll close to the main menu but people can still message me from facebook and I get the notification at the top that says I have a new message... This open chat must be killing my battery. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program to no avail. Any ideas?

Facebook's engineers squash MySpace's then and now. MySpace just didn't have as many features as Facebook.

I use the Facebook app signed into chat and my battery lasted a day and a half yesterday. Probably would have lasted two days if I was in a place with good signal.

AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! I'm gonna shoot this damn phone

So, i noticed all my calls were dying and getting disconnected shortly after the screen goes into sleep mode
that was a major pain in the bullock, and it was very embarrassing talking to the customers and getting DC-ed every few seconds or minutes.
i had to constantly keep touch the screen to keep the phone from going into sleep mode.
so the only work around at the moment is set to phone to never sleep
and sleep only when i hit the power button.
it's a weird bug, not sure when it started, it wasn't doing this before.

Odd I've never had that problem. What are you running?

Never heard this one. It might be hard to track down so maybe a factory reset to start over might be a good option.

Can't really get mad when you're using a ROM that's currently in Beta, if you want stability then you should stick with Stock. Just sayin'

But where's the fun in that?

Maybe try asking over in the Bionix thread to let those dev's know you're having an issue.
That's a new one to me.

Love the title of this topic. I feel the same exact way so often about it, though I've never had your specific issue.
*Losing data connection constantly (and no, NoBars doesn't seem to help me with this)
*Rebooting during longer calls (though I don't have this issue as much as some seem to)
*Every SINGLE download, be it Market or Browser is always unsucessful on the first (or second, or third...) attempt
*The fact that Google hasn't fixed these and other issues
Yeah, I want to shoot my phone many times. But......for some reason, I still love it.

it was something else, but can't find what was the cause
phone is back to normal, after a couple of reboots

this happens to me very often as well, but that's a separate issue
and i've traced it to be version specific of market
so the solution is to use an older version of market, or use a newer one, just avoid the versions that you are getting trouble with

Thanks for the tip. I assumed the Market version had something to do with it, but I wonder what the problem I'm having with Browser downloads is? I don't see a lot of people talk about it.
Also, sorry if I hijacked your thread.

Setcpu
Are you using setcpu? You can't make a profile where the phone sleeps below 800mhz bc it goes into a deep sleep

Strange. I've had both Tango and Fring installed at some point but haven't had the issue you describe.
Good to hear that you've at least got things back to normal for the time being.

not using SetCPU
but i never had trouble even when i was using it
i stopped using SetCPU after finding out that i actually saved more battery without using SetCPU, than using it.
it also caused some minor lag, when switching between the different speed when set on demand

Yep, I'm experiencing every issue you've described here.
Hopefully we get a fix from google soon.

Any stock users avoiding 2.3 update because of bugs?

Just wondering, I love the reports of a better battery life but all the other bugs would just get the best of me.

i am running beta 2.3.3 roms and they have no issues for me.

I wish I had waited and just rooted beforehand... now I can't root and it's a buggy phone

Well after reading the community forums at sprint.com and android forums, Ive seen people getting different results/bugs such as:
-Netflix stopped working(posted on this forum)
-Other Misc applications not functioning
-Shortcut icons appearing default with no detail
-Voicemail notification continuously appearing with no voicemails
-GPS Icon appearing even when the GPS is turned off
-Text messages taking longer to send
-Calls not connecting
Im sure there is more but these are the ones that caught my eye.
So thats why I was waiting to make sure there isnt another update to fix some of these issues.

Not having Netflix after getting a taste sucks the most

I can say that my gps icon is on and it shows off on the top. Text messages show a number when there are none. Great I updated and now I cant root.

I waiting until the bugs are fixed,
Not updating till then.

+1 (Except that part about root, since there are already rooted OTA's)
Or until Synergy is finally released.

O wow, actually just replaced my evo through sprint. they sent me a brand new one, in an envelope(no accesories) thank god I have been living with a buggy refurb for almost a year.
Only problem is it is preloaded with 2.3!?!?!? the sprint rep said it was funny also 2 other customers received brand new ones, thats unheard of from sprint IMO
maybe they want to make everyone on 2.3 because so many using the wifi hotspots...idk
so I would have redone the universal root method like I did before hand, but read here first ......so no go on universal root?

I don't understand being a "stock user" and being on xda...seems kinda like an oxy-moron.

It's called "gaining knowledge, keeping informed, and keeping the options open". Some people, do not necessarily wish to modify every device they use, at every single opportunity. Since discovering XDA, I have had 6 or 7 different devices, and though I have not flashed a custom ROM to each one of them, I've done a couple. Flashing or not, this entire forum has helped me in some form with each device.

Seriously, I guess you'd have to ask yourself, "how did I find out about XDA?", in order to answer that. At one time, everyone on these forums was a stock user. The second part of your question is answered above.

I was running Mik 1.3 for a few days and upgraded to 1.4 yesterday. From the above, only two apply on this rom: The Netflix & the GPS icon. The GPS works, but in my case, it appears as off whether I have it on or off. The NetFlix problem is an issue that NetFlix is working on and not a "bug" of GB. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I read that somewhere on here when the problem first came up.
Having 2.3.3 and Sense 2.1 grealy outweight those two bugs for me. Out of all the 2.3.3 roms I've tried, this one has been my favorite by a long shot. You just have to set up the phone properly. It took me a good couple of hours to format the SD card and upgrade the ext3, transfer all the files back and forth from the SD card, restoring all my apps and reorganizing my phone, etc.
Well worth it, IMO.

The only issue I have noticed is my Exchange inbox icon sometimes shows that I have a new/unread email when I don't. Besides that, everything is working faster and smoother. The battery life improvement is by far the most dramatic change, imo. One more thing that I personally like is the message received notification toggle is now the first option under message settings...def makes shutting off the notifications faster, which is good when you need to hide new texts from the gf

Thank you for the what???

OK so at the recommendation of one of the members I flashed U.K.E. Rom on to my phone. Kinda liking it but I got the oddest text this morning.

I got the Rom from the sdx forum and I haven't installed anything that wasn't from the market. I do have the phone number and it's from a local number, that's what freaks me out the most. If this wasn't a fluke then anyone with this knowledge can get my info let alone could they call out of country on my account and all that stuff...

Lets see if we can figure this out, what apps do the both of you have the same of? Ive yet to see this message to me or hear of it from others. And i can tell you that there is nothing written into this rom to send you that message. This is why im thinking its a rogue app. If we could get a list of the apps you both have that received this random message.

Sounds good. BTW, I called Sprint just to double check to see if they show any calls placed through my phone number or anything. The lady on the phone said it's possible but if someone did it wont post to my account for a few days, especially if they made any international calls.
I didn't figure there was anything scripted into the rom itself to do this, it's possible that it could be something rogue. It's also possible that someone with the skillz was just driving by and grabed my info from a wifi signal and texted me just to F with me.

This is the list as of the time I got the text. Sometimes I uninstall things like maps if I don't need it and what not.
And keep in mind, I'm not blaming anyone for what has or may happen. I'm not accusing anyone of anything. Just figured I'd see if this is just an odd ball spam from someone locally trying to troll me or what.

Wow that is odd as hell. I've been running and testing uke since before it was released and I've never had that pop up on me. Its def not something in the rom and I hope you guys find the app doing it. Good luck.

I think this is what's making me think it's just a fluke or a troll... I've been running these apps for a while now and haven't ever had a problem with them. I didn't even expect a comment from One_Love_420 either. VICODAN is the one that recommended the ROM to me so I wasn't going to just point the finger to the ROM anyways. I did have my Wifi running all night long (had the advanced setting setup to not put my wifi to sleep when my phone goes off). The only thing I haven't done yet is check to see what my logs say on my Linksys router (maybe he tapped my phone for internet).
I think it's just a fluke (or at least I hope... this could be an exspensive bill if this person was able to make calls from my phone or anything like that).

yeah its def an oddity. have you ran miui on it anytime recently and maybe there was residual mess from it and someone was still able to mess with you? or hell, coulda been someone texting the wrong person, i would think its just a fluke if youve been using the same apps for x amount of time and havent had this happen before.

One thing does come to mind when looking at your app list. Go sms pro is a china developed app and has a ton of permissions that i would never approve of, one being the ability to make calls. Check its permissons list on the market. A little much for an app imho.

I haven't tried Miui yet. I started with CM7 and wanted to get into somthing light (meaning less sprint stuff and being able to uninstall maps and stuff since I only use them once in a great while). I know I got a lot of GO stuff on it but I've just been tinkering with it since the kernal is running a bit more then just the 800 mhz on the cpu. Wanted to "test" out what this thing is capable of.
The bling is nice, the personalization of colors and stuff is cool and all... But I use this for business a lot and kinda like a rock solid machine that's as efficient as possible. I'm looking into other options of roms that are just plane Jane Android next. U.K.E. has been running nicely even with all the bling (minus go sms now I guess). Depending on how put off I am about no bling I might just go back to using U.K.E.

Didn't think about that... Figured the GO stuff was lagit since it's all from the same group.

You should always check permissions of apps even from the market..Google doesn't keep track of apps published on the market and if they are malicious or not. It's up to users to report if something funky is happening. That's why I un-installed GoSms a long time ago when they first added all of those strange permissions to the updated versions. It was even causing people to have issues with phone calls. Read through market comments and check permissions Always with any app even if it's just a update to a new version. The devs of GoSms are very un-responsive also when people ask them about the permissions and report issues. If you really want to get down to the bottom of something also run a logcat and see what the app is doing.

Wow very random if i must say. I have yet seen or heard of this. Im wondering if you have a rogue app messing with you two. Lets see if we can figure this out, what apps do the both of you have the same of? Ive yet to see this message to me or hear of it from others. And i can tell you that there is nothing written into this rom to send you that message. This is why im thinking its a rogue app. If we could get a list of the apps you both have that received this random message.

I can attest that UKE is a SOLID rom and is very secure.

Because it's based on cm7?

Solid indeed. Outside of that odd text I haven't had any other issues. I haven't tried to track down who's phone number that is Incas it's a friend just messing with me and I haven't had any charges posted to my account so... Might have just been someone messing with me.

It's definately not a rom related issue. Download Addons Detector from the market. This will help you to track down suspicious apps intalled on your device.

So I got rid of all of the GO products and I'm just running the AWD stuff that came with the rom. Only thing I realy miss is the SMS stuff. I looked at handsent and their permissions are the same (for the most part) as go sms.
Any thoughts on an sms program? I'm looking for character count and more info like sent date/time displayed without going into message details.
