Anyone know what fixes Market apps not downloading very first time you start download?
What i mean is when i first install a rom and try to download an app from market it gets stuck on "downloading" but wont download apps,apps will download eventually but it may take few minutes or few hours to start,and after the first app downloads successfully market functions without problems.
I know there is a trick to make it download quick first time,but i dont know what it is.It used to be clearing market cache or syncing gmail but that doesn't work anymore.There is a few roms that i used that have this problem,gotta be a fix for it.

Yes wrong forum but you can answer the question (assuming you know if not apologize), but what i do is when i first boot up on a new rom, i open up the market, then it will auto send me to sign in after i sign in and everything syncs up i restart the phone. When the phone boots back up, i open the market let it sit for a little while then go to menu -> downloads, and usually my previously installed apps are listed i try to install one if successful i have no market problems(btw this was all done over wifi).

Yeah tried that already it don't work
You can try signing into google talk, this fixes the initial lag, might fix this too. Sometimes I cancel and restart the download a few times which eventually works

No. This is definitely the wrong sub-forum for this thread. This sub-forum is for ROM/Kernel development.
This belongs in General.
Does this forum have a dedicated Mod? If we do, we need a second.

Hopefully you don't have a lot of important stuff, but wipe your phone completely and reflash the rom you like and try my steps.

No,my market is working fine(i don't mind waiting for first download to go through",i was asking because someone was having this issue on kanged rom that i posted,so i wanted to see if there is quick way to start first download.I will try your method next time i flash and see if it works.
I've had this issue with every rom i've tried, except for the baked snack one, and i've tried just about every rom ;p
The workaround i've found is..turn on wifi.. open up the market place and let the icons show up in your notification bar.. then turn off wifi. Works flawless for me everytime.

Sounds promising ima give it a go next time,thanx.
I usually just sign into google talk and it fixes it.
I've been using the HTC News widget to keep an eye on a few technology feeds and a few other things for a while and find it pretty handy. Unfortunately for reasons I haven't found it decided to stop updating around two days ago. I have it set to update automatically every four hours but that wasn't happening and tapping the bottom area to force a refresh just left it hanging at "Updating" without success.
I tried removing the subscriptions I had and added two test subscriptions to see what happened. When I finished adding them I was back at the home screen and it told me there was no news. Considering one of the subscriptions was Gizmodo I find that impossible to believe so something has bugged it out. Being the genius (HAH!) that I am I decided to try and see if going to "Manage Applications" and forcing it to stop would fix it. Big mistake! Now when I try to add the widget or launch HTC News it looks like it's about to open and then I'm staring at the home screen. No crash message, no errors, it's just as though the app quit instantly.
That's where I am now. I have tried restarting the phone to force all processes to restart at boot up but it didn't work so now I'm stuck with a the HTC News app failing to load. Any suggestions on what to do to fix this? I still have no idea why it stopped working in the first place either.
same problem
I am having the same problem. Did u get a system update from HTC? I think mine stopped working after this update.
Yeah, the second update not long ago. I think that's when the random reboots started too.

contacted HTC
I have just sent HTC an email about this RSS News reader problem. i will keep you updated if I get a reply.
same problem here, but not related to the update!
i know this from my past:
as my signature shows i'm coming from hd2, and i had a desire hd ROM running
at last. there, after some days of the same rom, the problems with non-updating
news reader started to happen. i even felt smart and deleted the data from the
settings/ applications menue of the news reader, after that i had the same
problem as dyonas: a non functioning news reader.
sorry, but back then only a clean start (factory reset or in case of the hd2 a
deletion of the data.img) worked...
would be also glad if somebody would tell us how to fix this without having to
reflash/hard-reset!
Funny that you say that TML, I backed up all my apps thinking that it would be the only solution that would definitely fix it. I'll wait and see if we hear anything other than this but it shouldn't be a big deal to restore the apps again. I'd rather avoid it but at least the option is there.
Well I figured I might as well try a factory reset and it worked. The widget works again, and as a bonus my DHD feels ultra nippy again. I thought it was a tiny bit sluggish after I entered account details for sync but a few minutes later I saw why. Notification bar said 36 applications restored.
This phone rocks, Google rocks, Android rocks. All I had to download were things from the HTC hub. I even still have my text messages from before the reset.

To backup apps and phone data I used MyBackup Pro from that market but as I said, I didn't need to install them since Google restored them. I didn't get settings and account information on things like Toutieur (twitter app) restored because I didn't restore my backup, I don't know if it will restore properly on the DHD since I didn't try. I was about to try so I could offer a better answer but I'm having issues with data connectivity tonight that I'm 99% sure are to do with T-Mobile.
Steps taken
Download VISIONary from the market and run it to get temporary root
Use MyBackup Pro with root privileges, backup apk and their data, backup phone data (sms, mms etc)
Factory reset the phone (Settings > SD & phone storage > Factory data reset at the bottom)
It gave me two separate confirmation screens (liked that!) then it does the reset, reboots and restores from firmware and the phone loads up after a few minutes.
That's all I did. It's worth mentioning that you shouldn't do this without plenty of battery life.
I am now having the same problem, the news feeds wont refresh! Is a hard reset the only option?
I don't know if a hard reset is the only option but the response I got from HTC suggested clearing the cache of both the app and widget, which I did before my "force stop" madness. The factory reset was a pain but short of waiting a week or more for HTC to get somewhere it's the fastest. Using WiFi during the setup after the reset it had all my apps and other information back within 10 minutes. The only things missing were sound sets and a skin I downloaded from the HTC Hub, everything else was there.
I just hard reset mine. Newsreader is now working. I got the same response as you from HTC

Hard reset for second time, working again but for how long? Just using app not widget.

what about backuping up News 1.0 using titanium backup for example
Can confirm this has now happened twice to me!
Any solution here? or an alternative app that has a nice appearance like this one?
A hard reset is not a solution!
Is this problem just with the widget? Can the above back up app only be used with rooted phones?

my experience froyo 2.2
Just my experience....
Tried to add BBC or Gizmodo.
On the channel list showed up a red spot with ! Probably cause no news are found!
Seeing that I have opened the channel and I have played with the menu
Some seconds and I all the news appeared !!
But returning to the channels list the red spot was still there.
I think that the reader think the news are already been red or something like that...
And more, I cannot remove the subscription!
I suppose that the first time you connect to Google it download your google reader subs and after then fails to sinc or manage new ones
I have the same issue with the news gadget and the friend stream gadget. I might agree with some of the posts above that this happened around the recent update. No other issues with this phone

...yes ... but for example just to be out of this topic try to put a gel case to protect your dhd ...
your GPS signal drops down dramatically!! ok off topic....
Right...the dam widget has stopped working again and is force closing. I DO NOT want to hard reset AGAIN! I have just sent HCT support a raving email!

Hi,
having the exact same problem as described. Tried different versions of Darky's ROM, currently running on 9.3. Extreme. But also experienced on 9.2. Can't remember if it occured on preinstalled Samsung Froyo.
Isn't there really any solution to this ? It's really annoying not to have an option to sort your icons when they keeps messing up after reboot.
What ROMs are you having, guys ?

Looks like lots of things can move your icons update of apps can shift stuff around .
But if you are not updating> factory resetting etc then the apps should stay where they are on a stock rom after a reboot .

Solution
Guys, this issue has a relatively simple solution, the problem is with your touchwiz not saving correctly setting, do the following:
Go to Settings > Applications > All
In here, go find TwLauncher and click it, DON'T click force stop now just click the "clear data" button.
After this, your icons will mess around again, ordered alphabetically, just restart phone.
That should do it, next time you organize your apps they should stay where you left them.
I hope it help you guys, cheers!
EDIT:
If the above wasn't enough (in most cases it should), you can try to get Root Explorer and go to:
/dbdata/databases/
find the com.sec.android.app.twlauncher folder and delete it.
This is harmless, but it will again order alphabetically your apps, this folder will be restored again on next boot, so restart phone after.

Clearing the data worked for me! Thank you very much!
Didn't try deleting com.sec.android.app.twlauncher but instead clearing works. More feedback pls
I had the problem, changed ROM and solved.
Did some research and found a fix for the Nexus One (mine at least) where the online market shows that an app has been downloaded and installed, but never shows up on the phone. Does not require a data wipe:
1) go to settings>applications>manage applications>all>google services framework>clear data
2) same settings>applications>manage applications>all>market>clear cache and force close
3) go to Titanium Backup and filter by "All" and Apply. Scroll to Market, click on it and select Wipe Data.
4) Reboot phone
5) Open and sign out of GTalk, then re-open and sign in.
6) Open Market and accept agreement. Let it load your apps. Close Market.
7) Go to market.android.com and sign in. Go to My Market Account>Settings tab>Edit>Nickname your phone and click Update.
8) Download an app. My downloads now start almost immediately.
Done!
Mods, posted in Q&A also. Thought it would be of benefit here too, feel free to move/delete.
It works, Thanks!!

Any idea?

Yeah this fix worked for me when i was running a custom sense ROM...thanks a lot!
bumpity bump bump
it works, but i'm wondering why such a problem occurs.. bit weird
I loaded up EB13 last night and had no issues until I started downloading my apps. I have Slingplayer that I purchased to watch my Slingbox on my phone while on the go. If I search the Market it is missing. At first I thought it was something with paid apps, but I noticed my other bought apps were listed. I also noticed Ringlert was not listed in the market...a free app.
If I login into the Market on a PC web browser I can find those apps with no issues. But it says I have them installed on my phone already. Umm..no I don't!
Anyone else having issues like this?
There seem to be some people, myself included, that are having issues with protected apps. I noticed that NYTimes is not showing up and neither is TMZ. I need to try a clean install and see if I still have the problem, I cannot tell if this issue is happening after a data restore from CMW, or if its a real bug. Did you do any data restore?
The problem is the market does not recognize this release as a legitimate. It will take a few days before it does. There is a fix you can apply if you search for it in the device section.

Kinda figured something like that... think that's the i9000 fingerprint fix or something like that.
Also, try to contact the developer of the app. They might be able to change something that might make it work.
Just for the Record, I'm having the same problem as well. I Installed the EB13 and Slingplayer isn't listed in the Market, I'll wait a few days to see what happens. Hopefully it's back in there cause I really don't feel like screwing around with crap.

I'm not sure about the i9000 fingerprint, but here is the Nexus One fingerprint.

And yes, you must be root to use this fix as you will be editing a system file (/system/build.prop).

Same problem. I have eight or so apps that I used to have that either can't see in the market after applying EB13, or that come up as "not found" on AppBrain now. Google customer service suggests that I reboot my phone. *sigh*

Slingplayer still missing. Missing on another phone that isn't rooted. He refuses to root his phone.
Clearing the cache won't help with this problem. It's on Google's side.
If you are rooted, you can always backup the apk file while on the old 2.1 or DK28 build when it showed up in the market, then reinstall by hand after loading EB13
This is now resolved for me.

Yep looks like Google fixed it...Slingplayer is now showing with an update to boot.
