new market

According to android life a new market started rolling out tonight...sweet..
http://www.droid-life.com/2010/12/10/android-market-receiving-major-ui-overhaul/

Towards bottom on the article it states this:
To try to force the update on to your phone, try this:
Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>All>Market and clear data on it.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Will that effect previous "paid for" applications as far as updates or anything adverse like?

I do it all the time and I've never lost anything besides my search history which is why I do it anyway

Thanks Lee, will do directly to see if the new update happens.
Edit:
Clearing data throws this which is a little scary to me:
Delete
All of this application's data will
be deleted permanently. This
includes all files, settings,
accounts, databases, and so on.
OK - Cancel
Should it not be "Clear cache" instead

I do not get that message at all... AI actually just did it to mine

No clue, moot point as of now. Went to do a screenshot and "double tapped" the screenshot OK and hit the OK on the delete also so it deleted all history and stuffs. When I press Downloads on Market I see all the apps I've got installed and paid for so it's all good.
Here's a pic of what I see when I follow the directions:

just to let you know, when you upgrade to the new market, paid download have to be refunded within 15 mins. Not 24 hours anymore.

Zephaniah pointed out what they said the reason was
Reason for the refund window being shortened according to Google: Devs requested it. "...we will reduce the refund window on Market to 15 minutes. This change will be largely transparent to buyers, but will help developers manage their businesses more effectively."

If you're like me, when you buy an app it costs like 2 bucks at most and I know within the first 5 minutes whether I wanna keep it or not. Even if I don't particularly like an app I've let it run over the refund time to help support the DEV.
What's a buck or two gunna hurt? Most I've spent on an app was like 11 pound I think and I use it every day for work almost, would have paid 10 times that.

Anyone gotten it yet? Are we sure it comes tonight?

The 15 minute time limit is more likely for future games. You can play a great game and beat it in a few hours. I hope they pretty it up a little.

I have tried doing this and it does not work.

Why an I getting the +1 in front of my #s

I recently received my replacement MT4G after a pool accident. I reflashed and reooted S=off, new radio, the whole 9 yeards just like my previous one. I reflashed the copy of my backup that I had made prior. Everything runs great except all the number I received in SMS or calls are now showing up with a +1 in front of them so they are not matching any of my contacts. I have not made any changes to the phone.
I even went into the settings and check not to use that country code but it still is showing up. Anyone have any ideas?

Checking not to use it just means YOU don't have to do it. The phone always uses them. I don't get how yo haven't noticed that all phones have like always done that

They are not all like that. My last MT4G phone did not do this. So ther has to be some setting or something that I am missing.

i think that happened on one number of mine at some point in crack flashing, i know i quick dialed the contact (send/end), but i can't remember if it fixed it or not. worth a try i guess.

Thanks. I think I fixed it. It was in the settings under the country code option. Thing is that when you select dont use it, you also have to click the dont ask me again button and it keeps it that way. I guesss that is what I didnt know.

Care to show us where the setting is?? Didn't see it under my phone setting...

Hmm. Im running Virtuous Fusion by eViL D. Anyway, HTC phones should have the same menu options. Just check in you call settings.

Cant send txt messages

Well, figured I would ask you guys since sprint apparently gave up.
So, for about 6 hours now, I haven't been able to send or receive txts. It just says messag not sent in the notification bar, and failed under the message itself. I can still use phone, web, and email. So, I called sprint and they had me remove the battery and they reset the messaging or something, but that didn't work. Then they sent me to tech support, and they had me update profile like three times, but that didn't work. Then he tells me he would like to get his manager in on it, but he wasn't available at the time, so asked if he could call me back in like 20 minutes. I said sure, and even gave him the number to our other line to call me on, and that was about two hours ago. Still haven't heard back.
So, have any of you ever had this happen, and how did you fix it?
I'm currently on random rom phoenix with genocide 1.0, but I even tried flashing a couple different roms to see if maybe that was the problem, but had the same result. Txt messaging still broken.
Thank you for any help you can provide.

You are not using a task killer or clearing level 2 RAM are you? Have you tried GoSMS or Handcent to see if those work in order to narrow down the problem?

Had this happen on my Evo3d just 2 days ago.
Called up Sprint and had them refresh my text messaging. They basically just reset access to text messaging. It fixed it for me.

fail......odined to complete stock eco5, and still cant send or recieve txts. As usual, phone, web, and email all still work fine. Updated profile again also. I went into about phone, then status to check my prl (60681), and noticed for phone number it has my number, but in MSID it has a different phone number I have never heard of. Not sure if that would cause any problems, but I'm not even sure what MSID is either, or how that number would have gotten in there. strange. Guess I will just take it in to the store today.
EDIT......I just received at text right after posting this, but my reply failed. Maybe there is some kind of text outage in my area. That's what Sprint told me yesterday over the phone...lol They said it might only affect some phones, as my wife's phone works fine.

No task killers, and no ram clearing. I had gosms before I Odined back to stock. I'll d/l it again since I'm stock now, and see what happens I guess.

Yeah, they did that first, before they sent me to tech support.

Gosms fails to send also, so its not that..

Well, this thread can be deleted. Pulled up to the store, and figured I would try one more time to send a text so the phone doesn't make me look stupid going in there, and it went through, finally. Maybe I'll just go in and play with the et4g for a few minutes since I'm here.
Thank you guys for being patient and trying to help me out.

Newley rooted phone user

Just want to say thanks to all the support here I rooted my evo it wasnt as hard as I thought it was going to be but it did take a lot of reading and a friend of mine at work telling me how easy it was. I was nervous but now I wish I would of done it sooner.!!!

Glad everything went successful. Welcome to the rooted world!

Cool, now click the link to my guide and read up on what to do next

Had a mishap Saturday when I partitoned my SD card bout had a heart attack! Got recovered from that now I'm not nervous to try anything on my EVO!

That's normal, to be scared, partition takes some time to do its thing.. The one thing I have learned, is to never look at the clock when flashing.. Here are some tips, use armon-ra, partition, and flash Team Nocturnal shooter E3D port. It's amazing. Go to teamnocturnal.com and follow all the steps. GruesomeWolf has done an amazing job.

For contacts you can sync them to your gmail so when you sign in you get your contacts not sure about apps tho

I do sync to gmail but somehow I always end up with multiple on some contacts. I use my backup pro also but don't restore my contacts from it just data call logs etc.

Use titanium backup to backup all your apps. It also keeps the app data so you don't loose progress in games.

How are you saying your not sure about apps, you know all the solutions to back-up apps.
I think you may be lazy.
I usually used Titanium backup, but have started using ROM Toolbox to backup my apps, I ended up purchasing the pro version also, I think its worth it.

Ah okay, sorry I was just being a ****, can't help comments. But I just read it wrong. Figured you wouldn't be one to start up some crazy drama in reply to my comment. lol
I like ROM Toolbox Pro for back-ups, pretty smooth and fast, worth it just for that but there is so many other things you can use it for with all the extra tweaks.

Tibu's pro with batch mode for restoring apps into new rom from previous nandroid backups.

Question about bypassing lockscreen

I had someone try to break into a property that I own and they dropped their phone which happens to be a Samsung epic 4g obviously, my question is I wanted to find out who this person is by going through their phone but its password locked. Is there a way I can by pass the lock screen somehow without resetting the device?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

You could get them clockworkmod 5 through odin, root them through it, then backup their phone, then flash a ROM and then you could go through there SD card for maybe some more evidence...
Sorry I can't post any links on how to, I'm in the middle of a class right now actually lol hopefully someone will be able to though. If they don't, ill be sure to later for most help on this stuff though you can just go to QBKING77 on youtube, he'll show you how to do all things on the Epic.

I'd take the ESN and call Sprint, tell them someone lost their phone and ask them to tell you the owner/address so you can return the phone. Then call the police and give them the info. Or just get the police involved now. Playing detective can be fun and all, but its almost always best to just contact the cops and let them handle it.
However, academically:
If you want to read the contents of the SD Card, just remove it an put it in a card reader...lol.
Now if you wanted to actually get into "their stuff" e.g. e-mail, sms. You'd need to do some more work as noted above. I think you could make a backup of their data in CWM and then purchase titanium backup pro to restore app+data or data only of their info.

Yup odin cm5 then back up, advanced restore data. Bingo

isn't there an ADB command to unlock the screen? I wonder if it still works if it is a password protected lock screen.
