A couple of things happened last night. Anyone else experience these?
I went into the market and was presented with a grid of 16 apps, and that's it. I can click on the apps and install them, but searching revealed no more apps nor could I get to the main app market home page or menu.
I attempted to close the market app under settings, applications, manage applications, running services.
The problem? It was empty too. So was the list of installed applications. According to Android, I had nothing installed.
Rebooting fixed this issue, but I don't know what caused it.
Second interesting thing. One of the first apps I installed was the CNN app with the widget. I thought it was a pretty neat widget to have on the home screen. Over the next few days I noticed lag. Keyboard lag, browser lag, app drawer, etc. Just about everywhere. Last night I removed the CNN widget and guess what, lag vanished. I don't know if it's the widget or just a coincidence but thought I would share.

I have had some weirdness with the CNN widget. For no apparent reason, it would disappear from my screen but would really still be there, just invisible because I could not add another widget in that spot. Rebooting corrected it the few times it has happened. I noticed they released an update today (or yesterday) so I installed it and hopefully that will take care of it.
Same problem here. I even tried to remove the invisible CNN widget but couldn't. Restarting the Xoom seems to fix it but hate to keep doing that all the time it disappears on me. Needs to be fixed soon

Um...Is it just me, or are there a number of apps missing from the market.
Can't find LauncherPro, HelixLauncher2, or ADWLauncher. ???
My Googlefu is weak in this area. Can't seem to find any info on it.
I've found all three of those with my slide. That's pretty strange. Have you tried going to the androlib site and scanning the qr to go straight to the app?
Im using launcherpro now. Have you tried restarting or re-syncing your account.

I cannot get handcent now... is gone and I had a couple other people with this phone look as well and cannot find it. we found the font packs but no handcent. I went to another site and got the QR code and it would not allow me to even open the app, it force closed every time on me. I wonder if there are bugs they are fixing and took it off the market for now.
I am not able to find Launcherpro either. I even tried going through androilib and scanning it. I also used my fiance's slide and got the same results. I was able to find the other two though.
Earlyer I was looknig for LauncherPro, and couldnt find it in the Market, did find it on Andlib and scanned it, but the download fails saying it cant be found.

Exactly. This happens with most Home-replacement apps it seems. Tried scanning barcodes, but the pnames cannot be found. LOTS of apps seem to be missing. I'll start making a list.

when this issue started for me with handcent I started looking into it. Handcent mod says it is google's issue. they said some apps when getting a update are not rolling back out onto the market for some reason. they did not remove the app but it is not there. Please Google, fix it.
This is so weird. I've tested with other 2.1 phones, and there is no problem. Just seems to be the Slide.
Quick Settings is missing as well.
they are having the same problem with the EVO.........
I have helix and quick settings .. no handcent
Its because of the custom UI non compatable apps shouldnt show up in the market. At least thats what ive read. I have noticed this as well many apps are missing.

That is just full of suck. :-/ Just manually downloading the apps anyways. Screw SenseUI.
Also, this Genius button is absurdly useless.
i've had the slide for about a month now.
at first, we were running software number 1.sumpin rather... then received an upgrade to 1.18... on that 'beta' software, the MTS was essentially white-listed on the market, where only a few paid apps were showing up, etc. we then received another update to 1.27.531.1 which is what should be running out of the box.. all of my paid apps are gone, but it seems htc is having issues with applications that are being upgraded... they aren't reappearing on the marketplace unless previously installed.. and yes evo exact same issue. hopefully a fix comes soon..

the genius button does more than you think....
you can say
Search (name of place, location, thing or topic) - Map or google searches
Where Am I - Pulls up Google Maps
Call (Name of a contact) - Calls Contact
Music - Opens Music Player
Play Music - Plays music (If music is set to play random it will play random)
Show Me - Shows list of applications
Bluetooth On
Bluetooth Off
GPS ON
GPS OFF
Wifi ON
Wifi OFF
Weather
change mode
open______ (insert app)
it definitely isnt limited to what is on the screen.....
Yea, it doesnt really speed things up, but does help a lot while driving..
in fact, you can also say driving mode on...
From what I read on twitter. The release of the evo took one of the servers down and thats why some apps dont appear. Google is aware and is trying to fix the situation.

Handcent and adw launcher have both released on their website that this is an issue with google, not them. They have both uploaded apk files for download until the issue is fixed. I would hope all devs are doing the same if their app is impacted by this issue. I downloaded both and they work great!
here's a list of genius commands under tips and tricks on the left side.
There are a bunch.

Hey,
I pulled GenieWidget from a CM install, and it installed and loaded up fine on my vibrant. For some strange reason, it now doesnt load up any of the news stories. You can load up the news headline reader with the widget, but click on any story and it never loads, never ending loading screen.
Anyone else having issues w/ GenieWidget or the news reader?
Thanks!
Yeah I have similar issues and a lot of freezing & force closes. I usually go to the app in the menu to refresh rather than the widget because 9 times out of 10 the widget will get stuck loading. But if I go to the app it works 1/2 the time & updates the widget. For now I scrapped it mainly because it made my phone boot super slow and most of the time it was just "loading".
Thats very similar to what I am getting, but I dont know what app to use instead. I loved the News and Weather widget
Mine loads the app fine, but has MAJOR issues loading the articles. It either takes forever to load the article (~20-30 seconds) or it just loads forever and never pulls up the article.
Tried uninstall\reinstall, cleared cache for the app, enabled all locations settings, all w/o any luck.
Restoring back to yesterday using ROM manager seemed to fix the issue temporarily, but it came back fairly quickly.
Anyone else w/ experience or a suggestion?
THanks
Yeah I have the same problem too. That screen seems to be universal so it might be related to something else.
I know I saw various posts regarding the Launcher force closing before the 3.1 update.
After the update, I continue to get force closes on the launcher and various applications. For the most part, I only run Honeycomb designed apps with a couple of exceptions.
Anyone else continuing to have the Launcher force close after the 3.1 update? Thanks.

Me too -- just FCs randomly as best I can tell. I run lots of widgets, though. Beautiful widgets, email and gmail, wizz widgets, 360 news, music, etc. Mostly just a minor annoyance, but I'd love to get it cleared up. I've run fix permissions multiple times. Running Prime1.5 and clemsyn-blades v16.
I used to get those FC's often on the launcher and almost any app I used when I was on 3.01, but since installing 3.1 I have never got it on the launcher anymore and only seen it on a couple apps that weren't completely compatible with the TF so it seemed to fix it.
Is the problem in the lockscreen?
I installed Flyscreen after reading about it in another thread -- it adds widgets to a Honeycomb look-alike lock screen. Since it's really just an app, I was still getting the official lock screen after unlocking Flyscreen, so I went into settings -> location & security -> configure lock screen ... and set it to "off".
Suddenly, I'm not getting the launcher force closes anymore. It's only been about 12 hours (including overnight) - but I was getting a couple of closes per hour before. The lock screen settings change is the only thing I've done in/around the time that things settled down. I'm hopeful that this somehow did it.
I'm guessing that Flyscreen isn't necessary -- just changing the lockscreen settings. Maybe you could even turn them back on and not get closures? I'm happy to leave well enough alone on my tablet, but maybe this will help someone else.
** by the way - I'm running Prime1.5 with Clemsyn-BladesOC#16. But I've had the FC issue as long as I can remember, even with Primordial and stock kernels (I rooted right after getting my TF).
Hi, I've developed a problem with my app drawers. For the last two days, every time I try to add an app to my app drawers, it makes the app drawers FC every time I tap on them. The FCs won't stop until I uninstall whatever app I was trying to add to the drawer. Once I delete the app the drawers start functioning normally again. Its not a huge issue, I can always hit the apps button to access my stuff, but I've kinda gotten used to using the drawers as a shortcut. Since I've started goofing around with it, I've noticed the few times it will actually let me add an app to the drawer, it stacks the icon on top of another and I have to delete both apps from the drawer to get it to work. Anybody run into the issue before? I searched the forums, but didn't really turn up anything, so any help would e greatly appreciated.
Edit: I just tried removing all the apps from my Games drawer(since that was the one that originally started messing up)then I restarted. After that I was able to add back all my apps along with a few new ones with no problem whatsoever. I'm not sure if what I did fixed it, or if it somehow magically fixed itself, but either way, its working again. So if anyone else has this problem, you may want to try what I did, and see if that works.
Since yesterday I've been getting ads that pop up over any and every app when I start them.
I've had this happen from an app I installed once before and uninstalling fixed it, but this time I tried uninstalling everything I've installed or updated in the past 2 weeks but they still keep popping up.
And none of the ad detectors can find these type of ads so does anyone know how to track the source?
Also this is the app I had and removed months ago that gave same problems https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=game.gles.rubikcube
Some apps running in the background causes this. Uninstall all the free app or cracked apps from your phone
I've uninstalled everything from 2 weeks before it started, and it isn't just cracked apps that cause it like you'll see by looking at the comments of the app I linked to.
So I need a way to find the app or process to find it.

You can try this:
- Install Shortcut Master app.
- Open Menu > Capture Shortcut. Here you can select 'Manually capture' and 'Auto capture', which one is suitable for you.
That way you can capture the shortcut when the ads appear. You can also know which app that the ads belong to.
i have the same problem, when i unlock th phone appear chrome window with ads, or suddenly a window over any aplication that i use inthat moment.
dam.
Samsung is adding support for ad blocking to its browser app on Android.
