Hey all,
Ok so I'm having a bit of a problem with the market on my X10
Yesterday i had updates for the following applications
-Facebook for android
-Beautiful Widgets
-Whatsapp Messenger
-Plus a few games and ADW themes i had purchased
I went to download these updates and low and behold my battery is at overheating temperature and the phone restarts
(however much of a bas**rd this is, its not my main issue here)
Anyways
these apps i updated are stuck on the "installing phase"
There is NO option to cancel the installation
I have wiped the cache and data of the market from the applications menu
I even un-installed the market updates
none of these options worked so i thought stuff it, ill un-install the applications
Facebook un-installed and re-installed fine, no problems updated (winner!)
however whatsapp and beautiful widgets are still showing up in the market as "installing" even though the apps have been removed from my phone
Now i cannot install the apps because whenever i try to click on the app there is no option to download
could anyone shed some light on this situation for me please as i quite miss whatsapp and beautiful widgets =(
Have you tried clearing the market cache?
have the same problem from weeks ago.. No soultion thus far. I have no cache to wipe as it does not show up in my applications drawer.
little orange ball with 30 in it.. and no market working.
To clean your market Cache and Data navigate to
Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Scroll down select market and clear cache / un-install updates
If the market doesn't show in your Manage applications menu press the hardware options button and turn the filter from downloaded to 'ALL'
Although saying this i have done this repeatedly and still the applications are 'stuck in the market downloads page'
did a wipe and still have the same issue running 2.1.1 and the market still has a orange circle any clues how to fix?

For instance, right now in Settings > Applications > Running Services > my phone shows all the apps with nothing listed where it normally shows the individual memory usage, though it still shows the time the app has been running.
Then on the bottom it shows:
Avail: 84MB in 0.00B in 38 / Other: 0.00B in 4
Though there is no other indication and the phone still runs perfectly, something is causing Running Services to have issues showing the running apps memory usage, it seems.
If I reboot, it will be correct for a while. I have not been able to determine which app/widget/process is causing this. I don't feel like uninstalling everything, since nothing seems to be affected by this. I'm hoping someone may already know, or has the same issue as me and we can compare.
I'm using More Icons, Better Cuts, Weather Widget w/Forecast add-on, Pure Music widget, News & Weather (GenieWidget.apk), and Battery Widget. That's all for 3rd party stuff that's running or on my home screens.

I have same issue and the only thing we're both running is GenieWidget...did you try removing that and rebooting to see if it fixes it?
I believe this problem is Incredilbe wide. It is just that most people haven't noticed.
The first time you go to Running Services it is correct. It is only incorrect once you go there and back out of it, and then go there again. If you do this without rebooting, then the memory info will be blank/0.00B. Reboot and it is back to normal.
EDIT: and, yes, I've removed GenieWidget News app and the bug is still there.

Ok well luckily like you it doesn't seem to have an effect on anything so that's good.
I'm having a few issues with my G2 and was thinking about doing a "Factory Reset". I'm currently running Stock G2 rooted with S-off. Will I have to Re-Root after the Rest?
*I'm currently having issues with:
1. not being able to change my wallpaper at all, thru built in wallpapers or thru gallery selection.
2. Recently, since the forced upgrade to the "New Market", the overall performance of my phone is "Jittery" at times. (the jitter is really noticeable in menu scrolling and games like angry birds, very frustrating!!!)
I reloaded the "Old Market" via Titanium and it seem to fix the problem for about 10 minutes before the "New Market" loaded up again. I can't seem to nail down this jitter issue and has prompted my factory reset decision. Is there any way to keep the new market from auto loading? Any input would be greatly appreciated!

What steps are you performing when trying to change your wallpaper?
- via Gallery > Set As > Wallpaper
- via Home Screen > Wallpapers
This happens to me on occasion, and often I have to perform the process more than once to get it to stick. Sometimes I've had to reboot the phone to make it stick. I don't recall experiencing this problem on my previous MT4G or MT3G, just on the G2 and I'm running CyanogenMod 6.1.1 Stable.

I don't believe you can prevent the Market from auto-updating if you're still running with a stock ROM. Have you thought about flashing a different ROM, seeing as you've already rooted your phone? Performing a factory reset may help but it means you have to install/download everything to your phone again. You could try clearing the cache on the apps you're having issues with, and you can do this by going into Menu > Settings > Applications > Manage Applications.
no you will not have to re-root after a factory reset.
Thanks for the input guys! I usually use the (Home Screen > Wallpapers) way to change my wallpaper. I haven't tried any ROMs yet because I like the Stock Rom minus the blotware just fine, If this "jitter" problem persists after the "Factory Rest" maybe I'll try one. I don't relish the thought of reloading everything, but with Titanium it's not to bad, plus this jitter thing might be a conflict between the New Market and some other program I'm running. This might help weed it out....we'll see!
The "Factory Reset" has worked wonders so far, no jitters and I'm able to set wallpapers again. I did have a problem with the New Market automatically downloading all the apps that where previously installed. (after the reset, the old market came up the first time I selected market, then the new market loaded and started downloading every app) I had to go in and stop downloading on each app. I run with "auto updating" deselected on all of my apps, I found this very frustrating, I like to keep track of my updates. Anyway I've been slowly adding back in my apps to see if any jitter pops up, so far so good!
For a while I've been finding Android market on the phone really slow and bad
Downloads keep failing and restarting
very slow downloads once they start (even on WiFi)
Very slow UI
Basically a piece of rubbish
Anybody else have this?
I'm on elelinux gingerbread ROM
I've had very few if any problems with individual app downloads, but any time I touch the "update all" button, the whole thing tanks. Instead of queueing up the downloads, it tries to download and install everything all at once, and the phone just can't handle it.
Edit: This reminded me to check how the new version of market works, and I'm kind of impressed, kind of not. It queues up downloads now, which is great, so far the apps have all installed successfully. However it is still dog slow, and seems to hang for a long time doing nothing.
@ OP
You can downgrade the Market by going into Manage Applications > All > Market > Uninstall Updates.
When I go to the Settings > Apps screen, some preinstalled apps like TripAdvisor, ZenFlash Camera and many others (but not all) cannot be disabled (freezed), but directly "removed".
But the apps are not really removed, as they are still present in /system/[priv-]app directory, and they reappear after a phone reset.
I've never seen this behavior in other Android devices I've had, it should be an Asus customization.
If an app is installed in /system/[priv-]app it should only be disabled, and not falsely "removed".
This way I cannot disable temporarily an app, I can only delete it and re-download it afterward, when I need it (while the app is still present but hidden in the system).
Somebody knows if this behavior can be changed somehow, and how to do this?
Thanks.
Hi,
Today, I started seeing two weird things and have no idea if they are related.
- sometimes, while I am using any app like facebook, browser, or even dial, out of no where I see a black bar appearing at the top of the screen and at the bottom a hand icon appears beside the back button. I pressed this hand it showed me a message (game in progress swipe to unlock) as if I am playing a game in the game launcher.
- a pop up ad appears in the middle of the screen out of no where and I just close it.
I checked the recent app's, I got no clue, I didn't install any new app. the last one I have installed was a week ago.
I checked battery usage and didn't find anything suspicious.
any clue what is that?
Thanks,
i think its related to an app, did you install useless apps like clean master , antivirus , battery saver , speed booster etc etc? or check your downloaded stuff on a file manager, like apks or strange files, even if the app is not installed because sometimes on some websites there is suspicious stuff downloaded automatically
or try to do the big cleanup I mean delete everything you dont use anymore or dont need , maybe it can help
and check on settings/apps/3dots/special access /draw over other apps and see which apps are allowed to pop up and appear on top of other apps

Happy to see that it helped when I install apps that don't come from Samsung, google, electronic arts etc , I mean developer I don't know , I always check on the settings/apps/ the concerned app or game, and see all of its permission to see if its normal for the app category. I mean a game that request access to camera,contact , dialer location storage.. display on top or change system preferences, you can uninstall because all of permissions are not hazardous but for a purpose and sometimes an app is just a pretext
