Layar does not work

Since I purchased the phone layar has not worked. Each time I go to run it at the bottom it says updating featured.....it just sits there. Anyone else seeing this issue?

Haven't had the problem myself. Assuming you've already power cycled, try clearing the application data (settings> manage applications> layer> clear data.) Then force stop.
If it doesn't show up in the list goto menu> filter> all.
If it still isn't working and you care enough to trouble shoot further, you can try a master reset or take out back to the store, though the above should fix it...

I've had this happen once or twice. I just blame the GPS and try again later.
Install GPS Status or GPS Test (I prefer the former) and check how many sats you have locked in.

Market issues today?

Anyone else having issues with the market right now? When I try to download or update an app the download will appear to start and immediately stop. No errors reported. I have tried clearing market data even restored a nandroid backup from yesterday that was known to be good. Still the same problems.

I also uninstalled several app thinking maybe I was low on storage. Didn't help.

I was just about to download and install another rom because I've been having the same problem since yesterday... But guess im not the only one..
I haven't been able to download pocket legends or angry birds. There are some apps that work, so i'm not sure exactly what the problem is.

I just started having those issues

I thought it may be ROM issue, but I guess not.
I am having similar issues as the OP.
I wiped the cache and data for the market and did a reboot, was about to nandroid my backup from yesterday, even tried it through appbrain...nothing is working.
the apps i am trying to update is green power premium and yelp.

I can't get anything to download now. It was working fine 3 hours ago.

Same issue for the last few hours. Also, facebook won't load the feed.

same here starts to update then quits.

I'm happy it's not just me!
The market app was running fine this afternoon but tonight it stopped working. Apps will show as Downloading and the download icon will momentarily show up in the notification bar (for less than a second). After the icon disappears, the status changes to Download Unsuccessful.
This is happening on every app (new installs and updates). I cleared the data and cache of the Market app and rebooted a few times but I get the same result. I assume this has to be a Market issue...

Same issue here.

Does anyone know if there is some sort of "Android Market Status' page provide by google to see when it's up/down etc..?

Same thing here. It starts to download but immediately stops & disappears from the upper task bar. I was just about to wipe my phone but decided to search the forums... good thing you started this thread OP. Looks like the market is down.

Same thing here the app starts to download and then immediately stops with no errors

seems its been going on for a while, lately, still looking for an answer in all the mess of "me 2's"

sorry for the double... question...what version of the market do you guys have? mine is 2.12, which is the latest and seems to be the cause of the issues...

I have version 2.12.

so i cleared data on Talk, and then turned off the automatic sign on and signed off. and market works. weird. very.
i never use Talk, so i would have never thought of it.
got this fix from...http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Android+Market/thread?tid=547c99010699d376&hl=en&start=40

The market servers are located in south Korea. If you don't know whats happening down there, you don't deserve a working market...

erm guys?...

Ive just noticed that when i go into my apps in the new market after upgrading my phone to JPX it is only showing me 2 paid apps and none of the free ones that i have downloaded... which is a lot...
Is there a way of getting these back and also what happens when there is updates available? will i be notified of these or not?
I find a specific app in the markdet that i have installed it shows as installed, its just when i go into the my apps part.
Thanks for any help given.

go to settings, applications, manage applications, select the market app, clear data, clear cache.

Now it wont even open my apparently =\.
It say server error retry later...

The server error thing has nothing to do with the firmware, it's an issue with the market server. Started to happen last night.

So is everyone else having this problem? Tried everything recommended but its still the same

[HOW TO] fix GPS Problem with custom ROM's!!

Hey everybody,
Just wanted to let you guys know that I was messing around with the GPS setting trying to get my location to be correct on the first try with Google Maps. After tinkering, I found that if I unchecked the Google location Services box in menu>settings>location my location was read almost instantly and accurately! Bidding me farewell to Google Maps saying I was 50 miles away from where I really was.
Hope this helps for everyone, I know it did for some friends.
Let me know if it works, and good luck!

Cool. My Google maps tracked exactly where I was. Even the corner of the intersection(where is my house is located on the street)

I installed the zip file, after it took about a minute to lock on, and after it locks almost instantly. Is this normal to take so long first time locking on?

If you are using a custom ROM then yes it is. I know that from my experience, even after installing the zip I was getting a little lag and even getting the wrong location for about 3 second then it would lock on correctly. Doing what is mentioned in the original post fixed that problem for me entirely. Hope this answers your question!

This is the greatest info I have read regarding the GPS issues with the Thunderbolt! Such a simple fix but one that doesn't make sense at all. Regardless thanks a heap OP! A mod should sticky this information for all to see!

Seems to break location altogether for me when I disable Google location services. Can't get a fix in maps or the sense flip clock weather.

Great bud! Glad I could help!! I would love for a mod to sticky this, it is such an easy (odd but easy, lol) fix yet so many people absolutely hate that the gps won't work right. Hope more will see it and get their GPS working the way it should. Again glad I could help. That's the beauty of a community like this, between all of us, we can make so damn phenomenal phones! lol

Sorry about that, i figured it would be safe to call it that since there is clearly no true fix to this issue anywhere as far as i know at least. Please do correct me if I'm wrong. It worked for quite a few people I know so I thought i would try to help some people out.

Thanks. At least its more accurate now.

I think what we are seeing here is that the gps is not using agps at all. Proper operation would be the agps actually assisting the quicker lock. Instead the agps and gps are working separately and by disabling agps....the locks should still be slow no matter what.
It is for me anyway.
That said, standalone gps will always be more accurate.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App

Funny thing is, standalone how isn't even working, since when you turn off Google location services it shuts off completely. Also for me it seems to be attached to WiFi so if its off it says I'm within a 2 mile wide area...

No...that's how agps works. It will be within a few miles.
WiFi triangulation will always give quick locks.
Standalone gps does work, its just slooow.

I too was having the lag in getting a gps fix. My solution was:
1. Download GPS Status from the market
2. Under menu/tools select Manage A-GPS state
3. Press reset
4. back to menu/tools Manage A-GPS state
5. Press download
I now get instant fix.
Hope it works as well for you.

This just proves ephemeris data is not being downloaded, or used by the GPS automatically. I'm sure HTC will fix it in the future.
I hope, anyway.

Worked for me. Going from no lock to lock in under three seconds.

why is this in Development, nothing was developed, just a simple suggestion of changing settings which doesnt work for everyone.

Market probs after 602. Found the prob, need solution

Ive had the same market problem that many have had. Apps wont dowload and all i get is the orange triangle. After swearing at this phone for a few weeks now, and trying everything I could think of and searching forums until my head hurt, I uninstalled the market update and went back to the old version. After trying to download an app, the same thing happened, but now it says "download paused, waiting for wifi". I did notice last week when I was at a hotel that it worked as long as I was on a wifi connection. So my question is this - is there a setting or something that we all have set wrong, or did the new update take it upon itself to only let us use the market when on wifi?

This is a setting issue. Go into settings and look through the battery settings to find the appropriate check box to disable this.
