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.

Have you tried them yet, or did you just post it straight away? I wanted to use them for a bit before I posted them in case they caused problems.

I've used the music, its really nice. But, since I'm not rooted, I can't use the market.

I have to be honest, I can't find anything that comes close to the samsung music player. that 5.1 support is amazing in the car!

Found one glitch with the music player. I stopped using it, so I stopped the track, then backed out of it, and went to the tw music player, and started using it. Then i wanted to rewind to a different track, so I pull down notification drawer and hit the reverse button. Well, it reversed, but then the downloaded music player started, so when I hit reverse it said the tw player was on one song, but a different one was playing. It was controlling both players, but he one downloaded was the one playing. Hope this makes sense.

So they were both using the same notification widget? As long as you delete the original music app then you should be fine....

Google Music

Has anyone thought of switching the stock music players with the google music player? i feel it would make the more aosp roms seem more authentic.

I got my invite and it's pretty neat. It's taking forever to upload my songs though, only because I have so much.
A word of warning, it does not work on rooted phones. You'll know it's not working for you when you can't access the "Settings" menu.
I went to stock and the music streaming works surprisingly well.

but why!!!!! i want!

Yea I got a invite but haven't had a chance to use it because of that.

Mine too. Got my invite the other day. Takes FOREVER to upload songs - and you can only upload from your PC, not the phone. It duplicated the tunes I already had copied over, so that's not too cool. Works pretty well other than that.

EDIT: nvm, works fine for me on midNIGHT rom v5.3! Had to uninstall and reinstall and then I was able to view "settings."

Got an invite last week. Aside from the agonizingly long amount of time it takes to upload my music library, it works awesomely. Also, I am rooted (running SRF 1.1.1).

works great for me; i'm rooted on the Swiss Cheese. I wish the app didn't have such a big footprint.

Works fine on mine rooted as well. I love it. It did take like two days to upload like 2500 songs, but then I got like 200 free random songs for joining which was awesome. I'm on the Anonymous ROM v6 on EE03 and it works great. Why would a google "beta" not work on a rooted device. Then everyone at the developer conference would be out of luck I guess. Haha

rooted and working fine. this is the best thing ever, mostly just because i can access my library from any pc! i <3 google!

I received my invite today (applied using a proxy). I've installed the PC software but can't get gge app to download. The link in the music player takes me to the market but the install button doesn't do anything. Does anyone know where I can get the apk?

There is currently not a Facebook app in the market. They haven't optimized it for Honeycomb yet, but you can get it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1143913&highlight=kanged and that should work. The only issue I have with it, is that the friends list part force closes.

They must have recently taken it down, thanx for the link tho

Use Friend Me

I use Friendcaster. Lots more options and when you say No Notifications..... it stops polling and giving you notifications. I notices a lift in battery when I uninstalled it. Friendcaster just seems nicer and smoother to me.

I've had that happen with the market a few times too. I normally just back out and go back in until it finally works.

There is actually a Honeycomb/Tablet edition, though in beta...
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.handmark.friendstream&feature=search_result
Works well for me, and definately less crashes than the native Facebook for Android app...

I've actually gone so far as to uninstall the official Facebook on my Vibrant running CM 7. With the last update on July 18th, for some reason, even if you set it to never poll for notifications, never refresh, and not to sync, it still keeps the news feed open in the background and constantly refreshes it. I noticed huge battery drain one day when I took my phone off of the charger, barely used it all day, and later that night around 11 I had 14 percent battery warning. When I looked into the battery history, Facebook took up a whopping 81 percent of the battery drain on that particular charge.
Will stick to using the 3rd party options.

There are a lot of apps that you won't find in the market because they haven't been optimized for Honeycomb. I normally just install them on my phone, pull the apk, then transfer it to my tab. So far every app I tried worked just fine including fb and google voice.

Friendcaster for Tab seems great to me, but it loads continuously when I select the messages tab, not showing anything... if that'll be solved, and chat will be added, it will be the perfect FB app for me!
PS: anyone solved the messages issue?

Mine does that with messages too, and yes, chat is a must. At least chat works on the Facebook app though. That's about the only good thing about it. While we're on the subject of honeycomb apps and notifications not working; how hard is it for Words With Friends to get notifications to work?! Is it really that difficult? I play a word and THEN it tells me it's my turn.

This Facebook app works just fine in Honeycomb.

My Messages tab does that too, as does the Events tab. Very annoying. I really hope a new beta's released soon. I sent the dev a PM about it but haven't heard anything back yet.
Strangely enough, I've seen a walkthrough video of the app (on Android Central I think) which showed them using the Messages and Events tab both working fine.
EDIT: New beta just released fixes the Messages issue, but I still have problems with Events.

Anyone have it? Is it possble to send an invitation to others if you have it?

I'll be honest though...the ATT network (at least for me) sucks to stream music.... Takes forever to load in between songs and playback is slow and choppy...I use it all the time on my computer though.

Idk what your talking about AT&T for me is aswome I've had it since 2004 and not one thing I have to complain about always verry snappy quick

I generally don't have too much trouble streaming music on AT&T, as long as I'm in a decent coverage area. I typically stream over Pandora though, as it runs lower quality music so it doesn't suck up so much of my 2GB data plan. I really haven't used Google Music for mobile streaming, but AmazonMP3 streaming kills me - because of the higher quality (and thus higher file size) it's about 100mb to stream through 1 album once. Ouch.
What are you running for a cpu governor and min/max speed settings? Up until recently, I'd get that type of behavior with screen off, due to running Smartass 120/768. I don't know why it has been better for me since about CM7 n150 or so - might be something to look at though. I think cHarley had some similar issues and resolved them by automating his cpu settings based on app usage using tasker.
