Is this just me? Every time i reply to a post, I get a force close. This has happened on almost every firmware I've tried.
Just me?
Same here, it crashes everytime, do not know, but I think this is not a firmware thing, but a xda app thing....
are you guys on Froyo or 2.1 ?
i'm using it just fine, no errors, i use it very often to check my PMs and post back on the go
I had the same a few days ago.however somehow the problem got solved and now I don't get these FC's anymore when posting a message...

Mine is a clean install and the latest version. Guess its just a bit crap then... much like the official UK ebay app as well then.
Oh to top it off my phone decided it had enough and went to sleep again.

Mine crashes too (fresh install)
mine was upgraded from the older verison
Posted here earlier that my problems were gone, but I just had another FC after posting elsewhere...
Also, when trying to edit a previous message I seem unable to type anything; the keyboard appears on my screen, but touching it gives a feedback that is the same as touching in a textbox (I can move cursor and select text etc.instead of typing with the virtual keyboard that is displayed).

Edit: hmmm this time no FC and fully able to edit message....weird...
Mine just crashed using quotes. Seems to work fine otherwise.

Anyone having issues with the market right now?
Mine is trying to update maps, beautiful widgets, and titanium; but its hanging on downloading.
I've cleared market cache, rebooted, and changed to WiFi.

+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.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
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.

This must be a joke.
Navigation in maps 5.0.0 is broken. It is "checking for navigation availability" constantly.
The only fix seems to be uninstalling the Maps update in Market Place, which is also broken as of the 2.7.7 update. It FCs on anything.
Many people are relying on Navigation to get around this holiday. Both signature apps are broken.
Not broken I had the same issue you have to open gmaps before navigation will work. Hope it helps

Not broken..
I have Vending_2.2.7.apk (Market), and Maps 5.0.0.
And work flawlessly ever since a manual software update.
Depends also the kernal or rom you use. Maybe i dont know... i updated to Netarchy 4.2.1 and everything works on my Evo HD rom...

That worked for me! I did a bit of research and was lead to believe that the Navigation was a widespread problem for which the only solution was deleting the file data or rolling back the update, neither of worked for me. Thanks for the tip!

I can't rule out the rom being the problem. I'm using Fresh 3.5.0.1. My research lead me to believe the problem is widespread among Evo devices. I'll check back in the thread for Fresh to see if they have come up with a solution yet.
Glad I could help I had just flashed to cm6 and had that issue just glad I was able to spread the little bit of knowledge I have.

Sometimes when i started the Navi, it would force quit. Got to work a couple times, but i think the update screwed it up. Using the Sprint Lovers ROM.

i revisited the instructions for the Fresh 3.5.0.1, followed the notes for the Market FC problem and fixed the problem!
i got caught up in the discussion on the thread, thinking that the first post wasn't state of the art. i was wrong.
moral of the day: try the instructions before doubting.
Ive had problems regarding installing apks and flashing things.. thats why im always reading various posts regarding the same exaxt instructions..
The 2.2.7 market apk was leaked before the update, so i downloaded it and used Astro to Upgrade the market..

So I decided to root and install Bionix on my phone after the Kies 2.2 update pretty much destroyed my phone.
I've searched on the forum so far to no avail.... My GPS is far worse running the Bionix-V 1.2.1 rom... The rom is absolutely wonderful, but the GPS takes minutes to catch on, then when it finally does get signal, it either has me going in the wrong direction, or a street over or something... which doesn't help any.... but then after about a half hour it will finally work normally...
Does anyone have a fix for this as I sold my cars dashboard stupid garmin GPS cuz I had my awesome Google Nav... in which the GPS doesn't work... Yippeee... What a dumb mistake.
GPS really slow to fix on a signal on mine too. Sorry, I can't provide many details cuz i'm a noob.
try out,a,different modem. Personally I have,good results (gps) with jl5 and kb1 modems. Scrizz has a list of,them in,his,sig. Or check his,thread in,the development thread. On,a side note, I hate how the comma is placed next to the space bar in swype!

I recommend downloading SGS Tools from the Market and using that to get into LBSTestMode and deleting your GPS Data. If that doesn't work, flash a different modem.
I had the same problem you're describing. Deleting GPS Data cleared it up immediately.

My bad, come to think of it, it might have been pulled from the market. You can find the latest version here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=775154&page=37
I remember coming across an interesting thread about a month ago which provided instructions on how to physically modify the gps contacts on the circuit board so that it made a better contact with the gps antenna, thus improving the gps once and for all regardless which ROM you use. As one can expect, this is not for the faint of heart. Since I don't use my phone for its gps, I didn't have any reason to try the solution out. The only reason I remember it was because it was the first time I've read of a non-software solution for the gps issues that plague these phones.
If you were inclined to try it, I would imagine that you can locate the article easily by googleing it. If not, pm me and I'll see if I can find the article in my browsers history.

It's the link in my signature. Although if his GPS was working before flashing the new ROM it's most likely fixable without having to crack open his phone. You're right, it's not for the feint of heart, and sadly it appears to be a necessary thing for most SGS owners to undertake.
Oh my bad, didn't realize you already provided the link.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Well, I guess I technically did but I didn't mention it....plus it is kinda small in my signature. No worries
I have sgs tools installed already. I have the latest version. I hit gps fix but same results.
The gps on this phone has never worked correctly since i bought the phone in august.
What do you mean flash a new modem. Could u provide a newb guide.
Thank you guys, or if someone has another suggestion please list it.
Thanks!
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Don't hit GPS Fix. Do this:
Secret Codes > GPS-Test and settings (LBSTestMode) > Delete GPS Data
You can flash a new modem the same way you flashed the ROM through ClockWork, but try deleting GPS data first. Personally, I prefer the KA7 or KB1 modem for GPS, but every device is different.

Thank you all for the quock replies it is ka5 which apparently sucks
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
TW put KA5 in the ROM because it's the best balance of battery life and reception. For GPS, yeah, it definitely sucks. In my experience, on my phone, JL5, KA7 and KB1 provide the best GPS Reception
Thank u for ur input KW. I just installed the kb1. Its a definate improvement but the gps still sucks. Only this phone has so many problems. Such a nice phone its so sad

Give it some time (a day or so). Don't be afraid to try out different modems. I keep pretty much every modem and ever kernel in folders on internal SD just to play with.
The Google Navigation consequently gets stuck at the "getting driving directions" screen. I am able to use Google Maps perfectly, without any data or GPS disruptions. I have attempted to uninstall and reinstall the Google Navigation program but the problem remains. Any help will be greatly appreciated! [please excuse my poor writing skills.]
They released a new version of viper rom a few days ago and this issue is fixed. Give it a try, it works great.
