Market is fine with me and please keep your battery out for 30 seconds if you are facing any LAG!!

My market stopped working in 1.6 but I was able to fix it by uninstalling the market app from the program settings. But not I can only find "Supernytt" inte the program list.

Tried and failed, it just hangs with "waiting for device".

you have to change the 3 files with adb in the folder to the ones that u used with the x10 sdk..
also make sure ur x10 drivers r updated...

So, can you guys with 2.1 describe the "feel"?
Is it like more fluently to work on X10 or is it laggy as someone said? I hoped with 2.1 all lags would dissappear, like when unlocking, opening mediascape, etc..

10X more fluid from the hour and a half I have spent with it.

With 2.1, X10 feels more "smooth", however we still have our fps capped at 32. What's more, SMS Popup's LED blink option does not work D:
And yeah, it might feel "laggier than 1.6" as long as you won't free up some RAM

Fix for the market
Here is how to fix the market
You go into the Talk application and press the button with four boxes and press more. Click Sign out and restart the downloads

Someone has solution for rooting now on 2.1 ? Also,im from bulgaria, market works fine for me.

Purchasing apps on the market outside of "authorized" areas

strazzere said:
Just a heads up that later on tomorrow an application will be released to help people outside of "authorized" areas purchase applications for the G1 on the market. More information can be found at http://strazzere.com/blog/?p=249 or the italian version at http://www.androidiani.com/applicazioni/applicazioni-a-pagamento-sul-market-da-ora-si-puo-2169.
Basically it ended up being easier than we originally thought, though Andrea threw together an application to make it easier for people to do.
The program should be released early tomorrow with the source and an explanation of how it works and what not.
Enjoy! Ciao!

Bye Andrea
bump!
i've installed the app and its working!!
but i don't have a billing address in US...
its now working!!
market apps available on ADP1.5 outside US
the app can be found here, look for the link "QUI"
http://www.androidiani.com/applicaz...he-in-italia-con-marketenabler-2177#more-2177
you might need to make a google checkout account from your computer if you are not in one of the market enabled countries... use the same gmail account
I wonder what Google thinks of this...
It works perfect, to bad google only works with creditcards :S ?
winbet this app enable only the purchasing process. We did not made nothing bad...

got the app- pity for some reason superuser doesnt want to play with it- funny cos SU plys ok with everything else....eg. advanced task manager etc.... am running 1.5 ADPHr1
is superuser not playing nice with it?
i use JF 1.5, i have to say allow a million times, but it works!
Amazing job!
Well I just want to thank the team that made this possible, it works just perfect on my JF 1.5 ADP, bought a few apps already!!!
Cheers
I'm pleased that you are happy of our work
Yes, thanks very much Andrea and Tim!
my SU is working ok with it now- for some reason it was hanging up- so i opened SU before opening this app..... i now have paid apps in Australia!!
Any requirements to install this program?
I cant seem to install it, keep getting " the install is unsuccessful" error.
Works GREAT!
It really works! Thank you so much. I felt disappointed when I learned google was not allowing ADP1 users to even see the non-free applications. Now I can see everything. I haven't tried to buy anything yet. I'm in Spain and we are not supposed to have paid applications, so I don't want to rise any suspicions.
Edit 1:
If you want to see the apps, you have to run the enabler and then (immediately after) go to the market. Or, to put it in a different way, it only allows this access for a (very) limited amount of time.
Edit 2:
I was finally able to see a free but protected app (NBA Game Time) from my ADP1, and it downloaded and installed successfully, but it doesn't run at all (force closes every time). If it's of any help, I'm running JF 1.5 on an ADP1.
I'm using JF 1.5ADP with no further mods (apps2sd etc.) and the SU request is freezing, tried a reboot but no joy, any ideas?
### Solved ###
This is a JF 1.5 issue, USB debugging must be enabled for the SU Whitelist to work (reboot not necessary).

I also have the JF 1.5ADP, but I do have the apps on the SD (I did it manually following instructions on JF's web). But it did asked me for root access like a million times (ok, a little exaggeration here, but it was like 6 or 7 times). And it takes a while (like a minute or so).

Switching between the different markets would be rather easy, you just need someone from that area to tell you what the numerical operator number and the operator name is.
I'll be posting soon how to do this process without the program install for people having trouble using market-enabler

Try this information if you have trouble installing it: http://strazzere.com/blog/?p=260
Thanks, this is awesome! One thing I've noticed though, when viewing by popularity in uk it only shows free apps - paid aren't showing. They show normally in 'date added view though'.

It's just a logo telling us we can use paid apps -_-. If it's 2.2 related, we would be able to see live wallpaper downloads too.
We are using 1.6. Not 2.2. Please don't go delusional now.

You can't see Live Wallpapers just because your handset is on Android 1.6! Android Market doesn't list apps which are not compatible to your handset based on Android Version. I said, you would get this market eventually if you fall within 32 upgraded countries by goggle for Paid Apps. But this is just a workaround to force that Update now!
Well I tried the tutorial, doesn't seem to work for me.
Infact now I can't install any updates to my apps. (Download failed - Unknown error)
Luckily I have a backup of my market.apk so I'm going to reinstall

It should be working, You might be updating an app which you didn't install from market but it has an update for you. Try searching a new app and isntall it! Didn't you get the New Market through this?
And you need not re-install the Market Apk, just restore the original market settings from the app itself and it would be enough!

That's what I'm trying to say. Cos you used the word "Froyo", so I thought you're trying to say this market change is 2.2-related, which is not.

It is 2.2 related in the way that this is how the market works on Android 2.2. I guess Google decided to change things on their own, instead of waiting for OEMs.
Also, I don't have the new market, and I probably won't get it any time soon.

Your Constantly Running Applications

What app/services are constantly running on your phone? Here's mine just after turning on the phone. Not sure why a lot of them are always running, but they are. I'm trying to determine what is normal.
Also, to those with an Exchange email account set up, is "Email" always running for you too?
Settings: Obviously. Check
ShootMe: Obviously. Check
Minimalistic Text: My clock widget: Check
Market: No reason why this should be running but it is
Google Services: Okay, makes sense. Check
Media: No reason for this to be running.
Email: I have it set to push, so no reason for this to be running
Android keyboard: Obviously. Check

Most of the stock Google apps close if you hit either the home button or the back button because they're smart, but many 3rd party apps will show if you exit them using the home button, because it puts them in the background instead of closing them.

I'm not rooted and I installed the apk off of one of the threads on here. I didn't expect it to work because I tried it on my old wildfire when the new market was originally pushed out, which was rooted running cm 6. Give it a try, it may work for you.

A lot of people don't understand how Android works. Just because an app is "running" and in memory doesn't mean it's doing anything to suck up resources.
In linux/android, the mantra is "free memory is wasted memory", and the OS does it's best to keep all but a minimal
Android loads up apps it thinks you'll use into any free memory so that they're there ready and waiting to do their thing when you call upon them.
Install a terminal app and run "top", you'll see that all those apps are just sitting there at 0% cpu usage. No harm, no foul.
Unlike older versions of the iPhone, which seems to be where most people I know think they need a task killer and that "running apps" are bad, Android's smart enough to kill off background/idle apps as needed.
The really ironic thing about all this is that a lot of people install and use a task killer to kill off apps in a futile attempt to free up memory without realizing that Android's just going to load up the app again, or something else in its place.
There are badly written apps that might go rogue once in a while and really do need to be killed off, but they're pretty rare in my experience.
I haven't used a task killer since Eclair, and really don't think it was necessary back then.

All your running apps looks completely normal, android works differently. Often an app is open but not using any resources.
And if push email is enabled, why would you expect the email app to NOT show up as running? It would need to be if you have push enabled.

Galaxy Tab P-1010 WiFy only

If you are frustrated with Samsungs total lack of support for this new device let me share with you some solutions that will make you change your mind about how you feel about your new Galaxy Tab WiFy only.
First; Root it!!!
Download the z4Root App and do it with one click........painless and you are set free and on your way.
Second; Download One Click Lag Fix from the Market ,
this is a magical app for this Galaxy Tab , it unlocks its full potential. Thank you Ryan!!! Give him a raise please!
Just make sure BEFORE you run the app move ALL of your apps from the SD Card and place them back on your device, you can move them back to the SD Card after you run the app if you like. If you try and run this app with apps on the SD Card you will send your device into a boot loop so please make note of this.
Result; Snap and Speed Clocked 1900 on Quardrant, smooth scrolling and blazing speed browsing this has become a completely different device , I now love this Galaxy Tab and I am going to keep it!
Doesn't show in the market for me
one click lag fix app
if you search one click lag fix in the Market in comes up as RyanZA OCLF, this is the app you want for a very small price well worth it!
Could not find z4Root in the market but there should be a thread here in XDA or search it on your device and direct download the apk file
It's Wifi, not Wify.
you definitely do NOT need to pay for OCLF. it's widely available for free on the web.
also, i noticed no difference after OCLF (benchmarks don't mean **** for actual device usage), so I uninstalled it.
the app's needed

yeahhh i just got this device and the first night i noticed some lagg and even managed to lock it up twice
but about the above. if u need the apps u can find any paid app or missing apps from the market at 4shared.com. when u get find them you will have to wait 20 secs and then app should begain downloading (must allow 3rd party apps to be installed)
when looking for One Click Lag Fix search for OCLF
when looking for z4Root search for z4root
PS.... i would post links but cant till i hit the 8 message spam thing ill PM person who started the topic to see if he can include the files
AWSOME WORKS GUYS THANKS

u should be able to go to menu, settings, applications, manage applications then find skype and unistall
but to answear ur question directly when u install z4root and open the app it will say root,
if its already rooted u should see re-root or undo root..
Thanks
After rooting look for Skype to uninstall but not there. The issue is that if installed then uninstalled Skype seems to leave, based on other board comments, that residual Data file and thus can't be reinstalled. My understanding is that once rooted one can then locate that hidden file and delete it so can reinstall Skype but this doesn't seem to be the case, does it? I can't find that file.
When Temp rooted and restart z4Root it does offer an Re-root option so (now using V1.3) it has been rooted.
Perhaps there is a difference in rooting between Temp & Permanent but wouldn't think so
Appreciate your help

Xperia play update 4.0.a.2.368

So i just updated my phone to 4.0.a.2.368 and i noticed a lot of really nice changes. Since there aren't any official notes (or at least not ones i can find) i will be posting changes i noticed here along with personal opinion on some of them without a particular order...
xLOUD-The soundspeaker loudness is greatly increased and the sound is so much better.
Media Player-When you play a song the backround of the player changes to a color most noticable in the album art
-looks great
Infinity Button Upgraded-You can now search for artist on wikipedia,lyrics on google and karaoke videos on youtube.
-Finally the button is useful
Lock Animation-It is changed to an old-style tv turn off
-It looks great and kinda gives nostalgia
App Refresh on Reboot-Before i updated my phone every time i rebooted it I had to let it ''sit'' for 5 minutes so it loads all the apps from the sd card and if you opened the menu you would have to reboot it again...but now it shows an icon on every non-loaded app that quickly refreshes to give the real app
-yes yes yes my brother always said its the worst thing about this phone so now i can rub it in his face
Themes-Basically like wallpaper but changes the background of some apps like Messaging
Messaging-Now it opens up so much faster and has a different boot animation
Call handling-You can now manage what calls you receive and block
-I was always wondering why wasn't this already included,i mean all my older phones have it
Timescape-Doesn't freeze when you move the widget and scrolls a lot smoother,in addition Extension Manager has been added so you can get more content to Timescape from more sites and you can also see calls and messages.
Wireless Radio-It seems like its power is increased and you don't get disconnected from older routers altho i haven't been able to test this longer than 30 minutes.
Status switch Widget-The old 4x1 has been replaced with a new 3x2 one
-It looks ugly and it messed up my perfect widget arrangement
Weather widget-Pretty self explanatory
-Now i can delete space-consuming Weatherbug
Favorites and Recent Calls Widget-Also self explanatory
-Its huge but i guess it is useful and at least looks nice
Be sure to add stuff you notice and i will update more stuff tomorow
Be sure to say thanks...as you can see I'm a noob and a pioneer from my country
Already a thread about it. ;-)

Is there a way to upgrade without rooting. Something like an apk?

Umm... you never need root for updating your phone,just connect it to your computer and install SE Pc Companion and you will be asked to update it

Well it is sort of better but you don't get disconnected when the signal gets under 20% and i have noticed i can play zinga poker now where in the last update it would disconnect me from wifi as soon as i started playing,but now it runs great
I got the update via OTA today (Philippines) and I still have root. Rooted using Gingerbreak 1.20.
OTA for UK now also
preys this fix the ****ty wifi issues *finger crossed*
Bad news for me, the OTA udpate fails on the fourth dot.
Does this mean I deleted an app that it checks to see if you are on stadard build>? Do I have to go back to Uk Generic and root then ota?
thank in advance
Update is available to R800a users. I'm running Generic usa I think.
79mb ota.

Try it one more time. But did you delete a stock app? I just froze all of mine and the update was fine.

My fails to update as well should I unroot first then update?
@nelly_boy & Xplay. If you have uninstalled anything from your phone after rooting. The ota update will fail.
As you have said nelly_boy you will have to reflash to 2.3.2 to get the stuff you deleted back then root then do the ota to get 4.0.a rooted.
@Xplay. You dont have to unroot to ota update. The whole point of updating using ota is to keep root.
How about the camera and video recording? Any improvement?
Thanks

That will be in the 2.3.4 update.
But I believe they enabled stereo sound recording for video.
