Market search engine behaving very strange

Ok so for example, when I entered twitter, it didn't find the twitter app. Only till I entered "tweet". And it almost always shows the app Lookout security & Antivirus, as like the 5th search result. And some other apps, like Nimbuzz, Quickoffice Pro will almost always show up. This happened since I flashed my phone back to the T-Mobile (I had debranded) firmware and then upgraded to 2.3.5.

Maybe covered in here too:

I think that is something else

Not sure if this is the same issue and apologies if I've missed another thread on this. I lost both books and movies from market a few days ago. Also searches only show a very small selection of apps but says there's thousands available. Wonder if anyone else has noticed this?

Can't find any app anymore, tried Facebook..nope, go launcher..nope..go SMS..nope. Wtf its going on?

I think you guys accidentally set the app filtering to high. Remove the filter. Happened to me before.
Just uncheck all then apply and recheck all and apply.

Depends on the CSC code.

Everybody got the same following bug?
If some app page in market loads through 3G and you switching to WiFi while loading - it won't load until force restart market app.

I have got the same thing.. I cannot find anything properly. Its like the search engine is fubar.

When I search "stargate ", it says there are 107 results, yet only about 10 are in the list. I'm finding this problem with every search I do, yet my filter is set to show all apps. Maybe if someone who has cm7/miui could see it it happens to them, we could then deduce whether it is Samsung firmware to blame, or just an android market issue.

There is also another issue where in sometimes when u search an app with full name the market will keep on loading with the grey screen and does not go past it. However if part of the name is searched the results come instantly.

We can rule this out if no one is having as now I feel its because of network issue from my end.

Latest market update seems to have fixed most of the issues I posted earlier. Hopefully this version will be more stable.

New Notification

I've been running CM7 since the last "Alpha" release and have it updated with the Oct 22 update. I don't recall exactly when, but I started recieving these "optout" notifications. I don't know if it's related to CM7 or something else, but they're not cool at all . Does anyone know where they're coming from or how to stop them?

An app you installed

The only app I have installed now that was not before I switched to CM7 is Go SMS Pro. Has anyone had any experience with it?

Go sms pro doesn't do that, but i don't use go fb chat. What opens when you click it?

Found this after a bit of research. Looks like an adbased app on your phone is using their apk. Seems they do support opt out, but aren't doing a good job a securing your identity period.

I'm not going to click those %^#$%#$%#$ Spam messages... I clear all the notifications. The only features of Go SMS Pro I use are SMS & MMS. I don't have Facebook, Myspace, Google+ or any other "Social networking" (Read: Stalking) crap. Want nothing to do with any of them. Any ideas how I can track down where it came from? I've looked at the installed apps and services with Titanium Backup and nothing stands out. Unless One of the other apps got 'updated' to include this new 'feature', Go SMS seems the most likely suspect at the moment.

wats a myspace?

Although I usually have 150-200+ apps installed at any one time, I started getting those annoying little "notifications" almost as soon as I installed the free version of the IPhone keyboard. Not cool at all...

How often do they come up? Is it at a predetermined time or is it random? A relatively easy way to narrow it down may be to look at market reviews of suspected apps.

Girlfriend had this problem. There's an app called airpush detector on the market. Download it to see what's causing the ads

Galaxy Gear Notification

Hey guys with the Gear. Did any of you find a way to get rid of the ongoing notification in the notif bar while its connected? Its just pretty annying and unnecessary. Thanks
Sent from my SM-N900V using xda app-developers app

I would like to know if anybody has been successful with this as well, although I assume it is only possible with root.

You need root for changes like that unless the app has an option to turn off the icon.
I can't believe this pos watch doesn't give gmail updates, I'm seriously thinking of returning it.

Off subject, but what's yalls thoughts about the gear? I like the idea but not sure it's worth the $300.00.

Depends on what you want to use it for.
I wanted it to use out jogging with a running app and to control my music and it works great for that.
It irritates me to no end that it won't give me gmail updates however.
IMHO it is WAY overpriced for the few things it actually does.

I made a call from my car today, the first thing my daughter said was "are you on a speakerphone??"
I guess it was legible, but not real great.
I had to uninstall Handcent after figuring out the watch doesn't work with it which really pissed me off.
That and no gmail updates makes me seriously considering a refund....

I as with everyone else am hoping they will update the gmail notif but if they don't that's really lazy and IMO just unprofessional not to display the contents of a gmail message by samsung

Does anyone else's watch take FOREVER to show a text after you have heard it come into the phone??

Can no longer “check in" on FB

I know this sounds silly but it's actually really bothering me, mostly because I can't figure out why it's not working.
When I had my phone stock unrooted I could check in on FB.
When I was stock rooted I could still check in on FB.
I debloated, installed xposed and wanam, added a modded launcher and now I can't check in.
What crazy is I have done almost all the same changes to my wife note 3 and she still can check in.
Only thing we have done different is the debloating.
Curious if anyone else has broke this after debloating?
Thanks

And nothing else on phone appears to be broken. Gps is working for all other features

Probably one of the apps you froze. If you get it figured out let us know. But not logging into FB might be considered a feature by some.

Is this via the FB app or browser? If browser make sure you haven't disabled javascript. I temporarily turn off javascript when browsing XDA so it doesn't constantly refresh but it also breaks things.

In the android app

Check if there has been a update since you rooted that may have caused it. And try the normal, if you haven't already, reinstall and who's phone cache.

Nobody cares that u stopped by Costco to buy toilet paper. Wutever broke that "check in" feature did u a favor.
...im kidding bro. plz dont take offense. I just love giving facebookers a hard time. having said that, I appear to be the only person in the milky way galaxy without a facebook account so maybe I should be the one getting cracked on. im also the only person in the galaxy that still has a Myspace so im sorta cool right??

Facebook has been having issues lately. My wife had me log in yesterday to check something and we both couldn't post. Intermittent posting issues.

Ok so I figured out out has something to do with my settings. Because I logged into my wife's account on my device and the check in ability worked perfectly.
Now to try and figure out what setting is messed up on my device.

I don't know if u have enabled ur developer options but the last time I had a problem like that with fb it was because I had changed a setting called "don't keep activities" if it is checked u should uncheck it...if ur developer options are not activated then it has to be something else...hope this helps

I found out this has something entirely to do with how I have my settings in the app... what sucks is I can't figure out what I've done. GPS works on all other applications on my device, just not on Facebook check in. So annoying!

YouTube overlay problem

I've been trying to play a video off and on all day, but this weird overlay keeps covering up the screen and I can't get it to go away unless I restart. It looks like the Chromecast overlay, but it's been uninstalled, plus I'm not on Wi-Fi. Can anyone explain this?
Sent from my SM-N900V using xda app-developers app

I clicked on a link to watch a video and noticed the same thing on my YouTube app as well.
Thought I accidentally clicked on something to show that symbol and couldn't figure out how to get rid of it.
Glad to know that it's not just me,.....but hoping to figure out how to get rid of it :-/

I have the same issue on mine at times too. Would love to disable whatever service/feature that icon represents!

Unfortunately uninstalling the updates and not reinstalling them is the only way I can keep it off my screen. As Bsmith states, it does appear to be a known issue according to the comments being left on YouTube in the play store. It is also related to using a Bluetooth connection and the similarity to how Chromecast connects.
