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....

Getting a ton of force closes

It just started today. Anyone else?

Nope may want to check the latest app that you have installed or any recent updates
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App

Yeah backtrack your apps install and see what is causing the FC's.
I have two with a third on the way(long story) but nothing wrong with any one of them. Before the update the first one had a few lockups on the browser but after the update neither one had any lockups or FC's.
I have installed all types of apps just to see what will or will not work. Very few FC's if any at all. But I kept track of which apps caused the FC's to remove them until they get updated.

Its on apps like CNN and Facebook which have been working fine before. I guess I will try to track it back.

i get a lot of force closes with the browser and the CNN app. try killing the process as well as the cached process. theres two options. you will see it under 'running applications'

Only force close for me from the Facebook app so far is when I try to load the home screen widget. Slightly annoying.

I've had more FCs than I do on my rock-stable Droid 2 with Fission, esp. in the browser, but I suspect it's because Honeycomb is new.
It'll get more stable as Google handles bug reports and as devs learn how to use the new APIs.
Also, strict mode, which I need to get on, myself.

The FCs I get are retarded. I only seem to get them when I'm exiting out of the app anyways. I did get a FC once when I was using the Facebook app going from the stream to the home page thing, but it didn't actually close the app. So it's more annoying than anything.

the facebook widget and app are not designed for honeycomb, and many have stated it FCs. i would not use it for now. I use the app and it seems to work fine (not pretty, but works).
Also, OP. I used to get a tons of FCs in the browser and CNN. I cleared caches and uninstalled, but sometimes still the same thing. Try rebooting. I know it sounds cliched and the standard windows answer, but it honestly worked for me. I haven't had a FC in a while...knock on wood.

facebook is hit and miss. Sometimes after a boot the facebook app will work. Sometimes it won't. When it isn't working it will just fc constantly and is completely useless. The add account never works. The widget never updates.
Facebook is uninstalled till they fix it.

I get FC randomly, on random apps.. I report all of them.

Important to everyone about FC's, make sure you report them via the in system prompt that happens when they FC

Glad I'm not tithe only one who reports them all. Ha. :]

Iv been getting a lot of FC's also.. even before I installed apps.. just seems that this is a lot more buggy then it should be.

Only FC I get is with the xda app, but that bug has been around for a long time. I dont use the facebook app and stopped using the CNN widget due to it slowing down the home screen. The app works fine for me though. On stock 3.0.1

Google pulling apps left and right

Did they take out game gripper?
I just got the new psx4droid and was gnnause gamegripper which I thought I had but its not there so I guess I neverdownloaded it, but when I go to the market its not there either
Could it be cuz of the xperia play? I thought it was gonna usher in a nw age of gaming for android but its starting to look like its doing the opposite..
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App

Gamegripper as in the ROM finder app? I have it installed on my phone but you're right, it's no longer on the market. As for the n64 emulator, it was removed due to the dev taking it down to re-release it at a later time (after most bug fixes) due to negative feedback.
It does appear that Google is removing these apps due to piracy of ROMs, though.
EDIT: Spelt 'but" wrong. haha

Kind of hints that Play Station Suite is on the horizon.

According to this thread - http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/com..._to_rom_gripper_has_google_remotely/?sort=hot
The gripper was removed due to the ROM database being offline.

I actually know how to get some of those pulled apps...I can't say the site though because of the apps are warez.

you dont need an app to get roms..

The guy pulled the n64 app to give it an overhaul. Something lik 2 months b4 a release.
As far as Psx4droid goes.. I bought v2 a few days b4 it was pulled. I pulled my apk file b4 flashing a new rom B)

Hence why I back up every apk I actually buy to my SD card with root explorer
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk

i did back it up via TB but for some reason when I had to Restore via CWM because of FC's(another story) TB wouldn't let me restore the App. It has the Data but the app just says"?".
oh well... i guess I'll shoot them an email.

Good idea. My opinion is definitely invest in root explorer. It lets you navigate directly to the data/app folder and you can copy+paste the apk to your SD. Plus it has a remount rw/ro button that beats the hell out of using terminal emulator to do it.

Youtube

You guys,
i was messing around online and i got the Froyo build of youtube to work on the continuum. all you have to do is,
1. Get astro or something simalar and delete (or rename) the stock youtube app.
2.Download the attached apk.
3.find it in astro and install.
4. reboot and enjoy!
feel free to post if there's any problems.

What are the advantages of froyoutube? Is it working 100%?

well , it is mostly just a ui facelift, its a little easier to navigate. the only issue that im aware of at this point is that if you login to your youtube account, it throws you into a force close loop.

I signed in and I'm not having any force closes or anything else wrong so far

Noice. i have no idea why its doing that to me, maybe youtube cant verify that im running Froyo?

Damn. I was hoping that maybe it would support the Shows on youtube There's a butt load of funimation anime on there as well as quite a lot of other things I'd love to watch, but you can't

Wait. Never mind. It started force closing after I restarted my phone :/

Grr. So frustrating.

Yeah, these issues are known for this build.... I would wait until we are on froyo to use this

Yea been playing it, can get a little laggy on the shift but no where near as bad as the OG EVO (heh)
PS3 controller will be a nice addition, just gotta be on CM7

I can't get it to load into a new game.

It installed fine and ran good for me. Gets laggy somtimes though.
Edit: I was messing around and discovered the cheats on the same for PC. Like GUNSGUNSGUNS for all... Guns work. Lol and im gonna mess around with the img file today to see if i can add car mods and etc. Like PC.

Got it running on mine, took quite a while to get all the extra files downloaded but it runs. Albeit a bit laggy at certain spots.

Well this sucks. I was going to purchase this today and now it's not even showing up in my market. When I go to it online it keeps saying that my device is not compatible with this app.

Same for me, just clear market Data and cache in the manage applications menu and reload the market. Then search for GTA 3 and it should be like the 2nd or 3rd app in the market search,
Although I can say it doesn't run smooth enough for me on the shift to play it. Works great on A100 tho

Once I clocked it up to 1.6ghz I played with it for another 30 minutes , and I can say it played better at that point (was playing at 1.4 before). Although there still were noticeable framerate drops alot of the time, but it was alot better than getting 10 frames a second 70% of the time.
At 1.4 there were times that the sound would keep cutting in and out, and I probably got 1-2 fps. Most of the time it was when I hit other cars or started speeding as fast as I could. (thats what GTA is about tho right? xD)
Keep in mind too I was on Sense so that may make the experience different from AOSP users.

So, I bought the game when they first launched but never downloaded it, when I tried to download it my device wasnt supported anymore lol so I had to google it up and found version 1.1 apk and I had the issues like the ones described in this post already.
Luckly enough a couple days ago the apk got updated to 1.2 and all I can say is that is very playable if you are in my situation you just need to download the apk (google it) I had installed the SD files already ( the ones for adreno gpu) because I actually bought it.
But if you want to try it you can get the sd files too from the black internet market :0
Im running Supreme sense, dodge kernet at 1.6 on demand, I bet the version 1.2 runs way better on a AOSP room plus you can use an external controller, but still I'm already progresing thru the game almost to the second part of it.

Yeah, I have it on the A100 too, its runs like a beast, I can't say for my shift though, since I'm waiting on a replacement. On my A100 though, the buttons don't quite scale right, making movement a little wierd other than that, fine though. Someone on AOSP (a mostly clean, not bloated AOSP) should try it and see how it plays.
