market is slow

is it just me or is the market running very slow in froyo?

This message was deleted by its author

any ideas why?

Check your logs, it's the usual socket timeout issues, like when you switch for a new Android phone... it should disappear very soon (I had it for an hour earlier)

it was working for me, but now things are downloading and not installing... they just sit there at 100%...

I can't say I notice Market being slow but this is really pissing me off... I bought bTunes and a couple other apps and Market has them marked as Buy as if I don't own them.
WTF.

I'm getting that too, bTunes says Buy, but a lot of other protected apps just don't show up! Is this happening for everyone?

Good call... MLB At Bat is MIA. Hopefully this is a quick fix for the Market crew. I think I should shoot them an email to make them aware.

Protected apps like m bank´s are disent from this version of the Marquet...
That´s my only problem with this awesome 2.2 update.

At a guess most of them are probably to do with the new apps2SD, no doubt when devs start updating them with the new move to SD tags we still start seeing them again
Going to give it a few days before I complain about not having some paid apps (bTunes) though, hopefully thats an easy fix!

really slow
I also see the market is really really slow, I wonder if 2.2 is going somewhere else for data and that source was not ready for everyone to jump on the unconventional means of getting 2.2 up; also, some apps I had are not available and do not come up in searching the market.
Edit: Almost uncanny, but after pressing submit post, both problems disappeared and the market is now the fastest I have ever experienced. Installing and browsing at super speed. No reboot, or anything and my market is normal. Hope it works itself for others so fast

same here some apps arnt there anymore. it happened when the desire came out, protected apps wouldnt show. am sure they had to do an update on the phone to get it working.

i had same problem when start it for the 1st time after flashing yesterday, problem went away after a couple of reboot, now everything is incredibly fast.

Slow!? Lol you must be kidding me.... i have been using Cyanogenmod 5.0.6 for quite awhile and i had to wait, hang on... 5 minutes everytime downloading 1 app.
Here on Froyo, its just instant!
Froyo FTW.

I'ts a common issue it will fix himself (don't ask me how). I had this problem to and one day it fixed itself. This was also with 2.1.
This problems starts when you make a fresh start. There was a silent update for the market and if you have this update market is working fast enough else you have to be patient and wait till you get the update (again).
If you didn't make a fresh start and updated you won't be seeing this slowness of the market.

google talk/Froyo update

Not sure if anyone else has noticed this, but on all 3 of my Froyo phones I've noticed after making a phone call, when I go in to check my Gtalk I get an error saying that I'm unable to connect to the server. I also won't get emails from time to time but that one is intermittent. The only way around it, is to let it sit for an hour, or go into airplane mode count to 10 and get out of airplane mode. Anyone else seeing this?
The 3 devices I've seen this on are
CDMA Hero running Cynagen 2.2
EVO Running Stock HTC Sensed 2.2
EVO Running Cynagen 2.2
Epic Running Stock Touchwiz 2.1 - not experiencing this issue

Thread title is misleading, I was hoping to learn of an update for gtalk..
I have frequent problems signing into gtalk and it seems the market won't initiate downloads unless gtalk is connected.

Apologies on the misleading Thread title, it doesn't look like I can change it now.

My wife and I both have EVO's and have noticed that after making a call, or after moving out of a wifi and/or 4Garea and going back to 3G, Talk will not sign in for a long period of time. It always says cannot connect to server. Her EVO is Stock 2.2, mine has full root. It's quite frustrating and makes no sense to me...but then again I'm not as tech savvy as most on here.
I dont beleive it has anything to do with signal as I have had this happen when I have had full service and have run a speed test to ensure that I have a decent signal. I've gone into settings-apps-manage apps and have forced stop the app, as well as cleared data. Ive signed in and signed out, tried setting up both phones all over again, tried setting up different google accounts...everything I could think of. Nothing. It's not a HUGE deal, but frustrating since we communicate throughout the day via Talk.
EDIT - I'll try to see if I can replicate this on my Epic when I get home. However, my belief is that it has something to do with 2.2 since I never experienced this until the update, and the Epic is still on 2.1

What the **** is wrong with this **** phone

I am on my fourth one (long story -- don't ask). I get this fourth one, everything works fine and dandy for a few hours. Then the same problems that happened to my last one are happening again. Random apps are trying to download and they show up as downloaded "unsuccessfully" and when I try to download apps they are stuck at "Starting download...". I thought this problem on my third Vibrant was caused by me messing around with flashing some custom ROMs, going back to stock, etc. (after the JI6 upgrade via Kies bricked by Vibrant). However, the replacement I just got - one that I have not done anything but rooted - is now having the same problems. Random apps are downloading by themselves only to be downloaded unsuccessfully and I can go longer download any apps from market - they are all stuck at "Starting download...".
So, then I thought maybe it wasn't the Vibrant that is the problem -- maybe it is my sim card. So yesterday I swap out sim cards, and the problems still occur. Maybe it is the JI6 update that is causing problems, or maybe I am just cursed when it comes to the Vibrant but this phone has been nothing but trouble for me since I got it in July...
That said, anyone have any helpful tips on how to get my issue resolved? Otherwise, I am going to call up T-Mobile and move to myTouch HD (when it comes out) or G2 (I really don't want G2 cause of physical keyboard and rootkit).

Sounds like reception problems. It happens every so often to me. Definitely not reason to return the phone unless it happens more often than not. Considering it's your fourth phone...

It isn't reception issues. I have full bars, can surf the Internet, etc. and even tried it on WiFi. There is definitely something wrong. It isn't the sim card (I swapped it out). It isn't my Google account (I tried different ones). It isn't the specific Vibrant I have (I just got an exchange two days ago -- both phones had same problem).
So all I have left is either it is JI6 causing the issue or a rogue app. I just did a factory reset to see if maybe that solves the problem. If it doesn't, well, bye bye Samsung hello HTC.

The chances that both phones would have this obscure market problem is very unlikely. Given that all other data services work well, have you ever considered that maybe it's Google's market servers? Did you sign into your Google account then immediately start to download all of your paid applications while it was syncing all of your contacts and email? Are you over dramatizing the problem? Again, this is your fourth phone...

user error?

Not the phone, it's your location/service. I have issues downloading from market at certain places even with full service also. It's poor data connections I believe.

I can't be Market. The downloads are working perfect after a reset that took a mere two minutes. Market up and down in two minutes? I doubt it. The real test is to see if it will continue to work, because it is after a few hours that the problems occur.
Syncing works fine all the time, and market works perfect after the initial setup. It is after a while that it messes up... I don't know whats up.
That said, why would I be over dramatizing the problem? To get pitty on XDA?

Could be JI6 caused some location-only issue? Because I was able to use my Vibrant just fine for 1-1.5 months without this issue. This issue really only showed up for I upgrade to JI6.
@Everyone else: Thanks for the input -- I will be sure to take it into consideration.

rogue app. man I was going nuts when I first got this phone, because randomly it would reboot and go into a boot-loop. after trial and error, I found out is was THE Hero of Sparta HD game from gameloft.
I would reformat and install the basic apps first, then the extras, one by one... to see if you have a bad app. Its the only way I got the the end of my problem.

Stock J16 or a J16 build?

Stock JI6 -- updated via Kies.

I'm On My Fourth Phone And Its Not My Fault.. (This One Works Fine Now)
First One Was Data Issues
Second One Was A Password Lock Error (Hardware Locked As Well)
Third One Was A Phone To PC Error (Unrooted Stock And Not My Fault Phone Turned Off And Turned Back On And It Was Like That)
Fourth One.. All Fine And Dandy

(Erased by the author)

It's your Google account at this point. Swap it out for another!

Hmmmmmmmm
The Google account may be the problem..... but not convinced I think the statement (user error) look in the mirror is more correct. BTW, I always use wifi in updating it is just easier and faster, I would assume that you re doing the same.

yeah. I have the same problem. it seems to be location specific. it sounds dumb but when I'm in the mall area near my house i have all but one bar full 3G connection (and that stays pretty consistent give or take a bar or so) and both market and browser have major issues. if you try a bunch of times it might go through occasionally but for the most part it says I have a great connection but I don't. but when i leave the mall area all is fine again. its a pretty large area about a mile square or so. I also drop calls alot there. its really weird. wifi works fine usually although some public wifi connections have the port you need to download from the market blocked so don't get frustrated if that doesn't work either. internet browsing works fine over wifi though
my wife has the exact same phone and has the exact same problems in that area so I'm pretty sure its not the phone
also oddly I never tried using my phone at the mall before the JI6 update (Which I got OTA not a manual install) so I suppose it could have to do with the update but I cant confirm that.
I can say that my Mytouch 3G worked in the same area just fine (although its been a month or so since I tryed it), so its kinda weird.

A little confusing here since you were able to flash custom roms successfully which is much more harder and dangerous for you and most of us here, AND you can't still figure out how to get the market app working properly? hmm..Not to blame directly on you but your case MUST be very rare.

[Q] apps auto update problem on mango 7.5....?

i have focus sim unlocked on att. i don't have any problem in installing apps from market place but i am not getting auto updates for apps. when i search for any app that i already installed , apps that are having updates it shows up and when i click update it updates. but itz painful and time consuming in searching for the updates that i already installed. do any one having similar issue? if there is a solution for this please leave a post. thanks in advance

I'm also having this issue and need help for a solution as well!!

The explanation is simple: the available bandwidth is the same while the number of phones and app checks has increased.
So, this not actually an issue, this happens. If you're mainly using 3G connection, this is to be expected.
3G connection is sensibly slower than WiFi and the number of apps has gone past 30k, thus some checks will time out.
It is recommended that you use USB/WiFi connection to sync from time to tome to prevent this happening very often.

I doubt that's the problem.
My girlfriend also has a Samsung Focus (updated to mango), and we have some of the same apps/games...when one has an update on her phone the marketplace tile alerts her, but mine doesn't show anything unless I search for the app in the market and check it, then it tells me there's an update, not sure what to do.

definitely a big issue... it has been a month since my marketplace has stopped showing any app update already. The updates are there when I manually search for it. It was fine for the past 9 months until now.
Weird thing is both my girlfriend and me are using unbranded Optimus 7, same carrier, same account/phone settings. but she keeps getting new update alert almost everyday, which I did not, even for the same apps.
Tried connected via 3d/wifi/usb all day long, tried guessing and uninstalling app which maybe conflicting, etc... none helped.
anybody else find a fix yet? please share

Still no luck...
Maybe its because I did the force update to Mango (my girlfriend didn't to that and hers works fine) so I have a bad feeling it was because of that, and no one seems to have a solution. I've reset my phone, re-installed apps, etc.

Original VZW Galaxy Tab 7", force closes.

Our G tab has been with us for about 6 months and was great. It was all stock, not rooted, and worked fine.
Suddenly, after doing the 2.3 OTA it started to force close any and everything and very often. I did a hard reset, thinking there was a corruption and maybe that would help. Reloaded some of the applications and then it started to force close again.
So, i thought I could root it and install the Galaxy Cubed 3 Rom, and i did.
I'm back at the same problem, force closes constantly on many apps, often apps that your not actively using. Facebook is un useable, Google maps that is never really used keeps coming up as force close, and just all sorts of random programs keep popping up as force close.
Can this be a hardware related issue? I'm not sure what to try from this point.
Help!

If you are having the same issue across multiple ROMs, it's probably hardware.
It's still in warranty, put the stock ROM on it and have it exchanged.
When you call for support, just yes them and pretend to do what they say.

I reloaded the cubed Rom last night and it than great for the hour or so while setting it up. Played on FB for a bit. Today it was with my wife and she was excited that it was doing good, but in the last 5 minutes it force closed on one thing 3 times:
Android.process.acore
So, for now it is not closing all kinds of random items, just android. Can you think of why this would be force closing?
Sent from my HTC Thunderbolt 4G using Tapatalk.

I would still suggest getting it repaired/replaced on warranty. Acore is a very important part of Android and shouldnt be getting force closes let alone regular ones.

Yes, last night while I was using it, acore would FC market back to back, as in about 5 seconds between. I would power off, restart, and in 10 minutes it would come back.

Glad there is here!
I am in the same boat with both my wife's 7" VZW tab and my own. We both took the OTA 2.3.5 update and within hours started to experience FC errors. My wife's tab is stock (she has never let me mess with it ) Mine was rooted but otherwise stock at the time of the OTA. Her's has continued to have random FC. I have flashed back to stock 2.2 with ODIN and re-taken the OTA 2.3.5 only to have the same FC start up again after a few hours. I have also tried just about every other ROM on this board trying to come up with something that would work with no luck. I am beginning to think that contacting Samsung for both of our tabs is a good idea. Anyone else find anything that works?

I just posted (on xda) the many fixes for this issue that i found online. I have the Sprint Samsung Tab, just started on its own. The most popular answer that i found, but didnt work for me, is clearing your contacts cache. Many members from various forums suspect it has something to do with contacts, sync and facebook. So clear your cache.

Just to update on my tablet... I got a warranty reticent replacement from VZW and it immediately vegan to also FC on us. I called vzw and the level 2 tech asked me to remove the memory card and do a complete wipe. he said that there is no way that 2 tablets are doing the same thing with the force closes, and he thinks that I carried some corruption over from within the SD card.
I removed the card, went to recovery and wiped, rebooted and have been running it with no memory card for 3 days. I'm still force closing, but not nearly as much.
Facebook is currently the midst constant of the force closes. Often, she goes to open FB and it never actually opens, it starts to open and then force closes.
Android Acorn is not coming up as a force close since this non SD card wipe.
Gmail is still force closing often, but not near as often as FB.
She will be playing her word games and it still well pop up the various force close errors on gmail and FB repeatedly even though she is not actively in those programs.
My wife wants to beat me about the neck and face area with her tablet at this point. She wants to give up on it and go get a nexus, but we can't sale a Galaxy Tab that is acting like this. Im considering buying out her $230 ETF and closing that line, then reopen it to get her the nexus. What is a husband to do?
