some apps will not install on my Nexus S

Hi I've had my Nexus S for a week now and by and large am very happy with it.
Recently I noticed that some apps from the market will not install after downloading, for example, the Pubtran London app.
the app always shows it's being currently downloaded, and when I check the About tab, it says that 100% has been downloaded, but it will not launch into install.
There are quite few apps which I tried to install but also had this problem. I would be grateful if anyone has experience the same issue and has advice to resolve this problem. thanks!

Not all apps are compatible with Gingerbread.
PS Ignore the fact that I thanked you. I clicked the wrong button

hi thank you.
seems then have to wait to the apps to be updated.
even the xda app does not work on nexus S!

I have just found a work-around for this problem.
everytime an app would not install, I just go into manage apps and clear the Market cache. Once the cache is cleared, app can be installed with no problem.

I'm having this problem too.
I don't think it's compatibility issues, clearing cache and force stopping the Market sometimes works, but it seems the next time I use the Market, one of my apps wont update until I do this again.
Any ideas?

The problem isn't unique to the Nexus S for me. My SGS i9000 (DocRamboned) has similar issue, especially with updates...lots fo them stall on the download, or download and fail on the install.
Perhaps there's some issue on the mothership's side of the market.

The "Music" app from CM7 looks pretty good.

Pnc bank app not working after update

Hi. I use this app quite frequently and after updating last night it seems to have stoped working. When I start it the screen just goes white. Is it possible that the art update caused this?

That "App" is just a link to the mobile site https://m.pnc.com try going there from your browser.

Using reason and logic. Then Yes!

Thx for the reply. I seen the mobile site is identical. I just liked than when using the app and trying to close it it would actually ask if u want to do that and then it would close completly. The stupid phone browser allways stays on in the background.

Gotcha, I use Dolphin HD, so when I hold down the "back" button on the phone it asks me if i want to exit and gives options to clear cache and recent history. 2c

It appears all the banking apps have the same problem after the update. The Bank of America app does exactly the same thing. Maybe it's a security thing.

[CLOSED] UCCW closes

I've been taking the time to create a theme with UCCW lately. However, UCCW frequently doesn't load the widgets when I start my device. They just display the loading icon. I also experience frequent crashes and reinstalling the app does not have an effect. Is this due to an OpenGL live wallpaper or is this a known issue?

There have recently been problems with the latest version of UCCW (2.8.8), which many users have said causes the app to regularly crash. It also did something to the main settings of the app as it resized all of my widgets which made my carefully set up home screen look terrible!
I have since rolled back to version 2.8.7 which fixes the problems.
I suggest you check the version number, and if it is 2.8.8 then try and get an older version.

I'll try to get it. 2.8.8 apparently breaks any widget with a 1 dimension. Thanks

Wrong thread?

You might have some luck if you ask in one of the huge UCCW threads in the main XDA themeing subforum. Im sure someone has to have it still.

I did. Editing first post now, someone got me a copy of 2.8.7 and all is well.

[L5-II E450] Small but anoyng issue with new FB Layout

Hello friends, as you know facebook is rolling a new Layout for they'r official APP.
I hear it is server side, so as long you have Android 4.x, you can roll back older instalation, uninstall and download the older FB APP APK, you can do all that and the new Layout still will be present.
The Layout is fine exept for one small but big issue.
At the buttons on top (Feed, Notifications, Friends Request) it dont display the Messages button.
I dont use FB chat, it is aways off and now exept for the push notifications i cant see if i have new messages on the APP, i need to check then via the options menu.
That is very anoyng for my use and a very deal breaker.
I tryed 3rd party APPs but none seens nice too.
Is there a way (as it seen to be server side) to roll back for the older layout, or add the stupid messages button??
Thanks for all, here what i mean:

It is not an issue for this device... We are not developers, so maybe you could ask for an explanation in the comments of the Facebook app in Google play..

As I remember it comes as a part of the kernel for those devices including LG G2, since there aren't any custom kernels out for these devices yet I highly doubt that's a possibility right now.

you can opt for proximity actions for locking and unlocking, although it would drain your battery a bit.

I'm using Wakeup Touch Nexus which is available in Google Play for free. Dint notice any battery drainage. Very nice app. If anyone got better app can suggest me too...

It's not really "double tap", I use "Gravity Screen" as an alternative to the on/off button

Pretty much every major OEM like Sony, HTC, LG and even Chinese manufacturers like OPPO , Xiaomi etc have implemented double tap to wake on their large screen phones and I really don't know what's stopping Samsung to implement in spite of so many Note generations .
Only way to properly implement this is using a custom kernel for the device

Tap Tap App @ Play Store
Tap Tap App works for me. Galaxy Note 4.
Requires configuration.

Lost functionality, how to get it back?

OK, I've got a VKWorld VK6050S (note the S). This will be a long story, but I feel I must post many details. Otherwise, there will be that smart-*** posting "but you can't do that!!!"
Had the phone for several weeks now. Took a LONG time to set it up and get it running EXACTLY the way I wanted it to. As part of that process, I installed Nova launcher, and an app called "DTSO". Anyway, when it was all set up.... I could double-tap the home screen to lock, and the display would go black. Then, *without using the proximity sensor*, I could double-tap the middle of the BLACK screen, which would cause the display to wake up and display the lock screen. I didn't set a lock on this screen, so I could just swipe up to clear it. Note I could double-tap the BLACK screen to wake it up.
So I was happy with the way everything was set up. Only problem was, it was not stable. Most of the time, if you tried to take a picture, the phone would freeze. (forever). Or sometimes a reboot would take HOURS (starting after the animated vkworld logo displayed) I tried several suggestions. It was not a bad memory card, and it was not corrupted files on a memory card. I tried clearing various caches, etc. Nothing worked. Finally, in desperation...I went to the factory boot menu (chinese, but I found a guide for it) and cleared hardware cache / emmc / whatever. That left me with *** CHINESE LOLLIPOP ***, and all my apps/settings/data were GONE...
(sigh)
So I had to start from figuring out how to switch back to English. And then starting all over again. I wasn't back to "zero". I went back to "minus one". (!!!!)
After many hours setting up the phone again with dozens of applications, getting my account settings input, getting it all configured...
The only thing I can NOT do now is to double-tap the black screen to wake it up. The phone is rock-solid STABLE now, so that is an improvement. But I want it to wake the screen with a double-tap, like it did before!!!
I'm now using "Go" launcher. But I (temporarily) tried "Nova" launcher, like I had it before. DTSO does not work like it used to. It won't wake up the screen while black. Again, this USED TO WORK, so it's not a hardware issue. What did I do wrong? What did I miss in setting this thing up again?
