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.

Youtube Cannot play video

Since last week whenever I try to play a youtube video either through the internet or the youtube app on my phone I get a message saying
Cannot play video
Sorry this video cannot be played.
Anyone have any ideas how I can solve it?
Almost all youtube videos would play on the phone before.

Hi.
Ive had the same problem. Try on wifi. If it works that mean your network operator has some issues (o2 ireland has some technical probs with all data plans for last 5 weeks for example)

I had the same thing a few weeks ago after playing with my hosts file and some other system files (trying to install swype beta)..but I also couldn't play mp3s or most other audio file formats (which seemed to have a flow on effect to not letting youtube work).
I gave up trying to fault find (logcat wasn't giving much away) and factory reset didn't fix, so restored an earlier full backup in clockwork.

Some videos cannot be played on a mobile yet...that's another example...
Dunno...lol

I am having a similar problem..only slightly complicated. Not only doesn't youtube work, even my video files can't be viewed. Ringer doesn't work either. However a reboot temporarily solves this problem before it strikes back again. Been doing this for more than the last 10 days..

having a similar problem, cant search any video on youtube. says network problem??

That sound like what it says,a network prob...
Try going to airplane mode and back, or even just hitting retry a few times works for me.

same problem here,sometimes can't play my video files and youtube videos,a reboot solves the problem 4 a while...
It's embarrassing trying to show a video to someone,and my relatively expensive phone doesnt work.
stock jpy rooted,tried fast boot,app cache cleaner,but nothing helps..

Ihad the problem too and its solved it.

Yep. Twitter app is the culprit. Quite a few of the latest reviews for it mention the problem.
Don't know if Twitter is aware of the issue but hopefully it'll get fixed.

I also had the issue with not being able to play videos (or mp3s). I have flashed the 2.3.4 JVP rom and the problem has not reoccured even with the twitter app.

Video stutter?

Anyone else experiencing video stutter while trying to stream inside a browser? I've tried chrome, chrome beta, Firefox, and built in browser. Its especially worst for HD video.
It'll also happen in YouTube app on 1080p videos although to a less noticeable degree.
Netflix and play movies seem to perform normal.
Thinking there needs to be some software optimization done in a future patch to address this.
Can anyone else replicate this issue inside a browser ?

Had this issue after rooting my device. I went into both my installed browsers and cleared all cookies, cache and history. Once completed, I did a reset on my device and voila, it's all working fine now. Sometimes I notice a bit of lag but this is when I'm connected via WiFi and I have about 10 other devices connected hence some lag.

No, I bought the phone from a local carrier in Canada called WIND Mobile. They do not support LTE data but a slower 4G speed. I had to ROOT and install a custom Telus ROM then change the regional carrier settings to recognize the Telus ROM. I have not had any issue though and whether a stock ROM or not, I think it's more to do with the application (browser) and how it renders the video playback.
Hope this helps!

Anyone else with no maps in weather apps?

Having a very strange problem on the g6. For all the weather apps I use they include weather maps superimposed on Google maps. But the Google maps part of it doesn't display. So all that shows is the cloud cover or precipitation (or whatever layer I have it showing). But since the Google maps part doesn't display I don't know where that precipitation actually is. And this is for all the weather apps I have tried.
I'm a long time Android user and have used these weather apps for years. Any idea why it's not working correctly on this g6? I've tried checking all the app permissions and uninstalling and reinstalling. And Google Maps works fine by itself.

Mine got a problem using uber app its just blank no maps all i can see is the cars available.

Definitely sounds like the same problem. Hope someone has been able to solve this.
I've tried everything I can think of to get this to work but no luck.

When i got my replacement phone i had the same problem. The maps didn't work for Weather Underground, Gas Buddy, Sensorly, etc. I ended up doing a full reset again. ugh!!! So much for spending the evening setting up my phone for the millionth time it seems. I've never had this problem before. I don't know if it's an issue with LG's android software or what.

Did that end up fixing the problem? Like you, I really don't want to do a reset after finally getting the phone setup.
Btw, I did a lot of searching online about this issue and the only other reference to it I could find was from someone with a Verizon lg g6 also.

That's 1weather on my tmobile g6. I didn't do anything, just working out of the box.
I wonder if verizon had done sth to mess with the maps. Can we check if other verizon users having the same issue or not?

Any progress on this issue?

Hi all,
I'm having similar issues except not just with weather apps.
I've also been using the verizon version of Lg G6 and noticed that google maps embedded in ALL apps (i.e. yelp, zillow, tripadvisor, priceline, etc) come out completely blank. This has been going on since day 1 of using this phone. I've attached a screen shot of what it looks like on yelp.
Google maps itself works just fine without any issues.
My phone is up to date with all the system/app updates. I've tried clearing cache, uninstalling and reinstalling all those apps. The only thing I havent tried is doing a factory reset... which I dont want to do =\
Anyone else having this problem?? Any fixes??

I did a factory reset and the issue didn't come back. Btw the reset wasn't as painful as I thought it would be. The LG backup & restore function worked reasonably well. Backed up to SD card bf reset and restored right after. Things still needed to be setup a little. I've always had a rooted phone before this and relied on Titanium backup, so didn't know what to expect.

You go to settings-->backup & reset --> and right below factory data reset you will see "Reset Settings"
Hope this fixes your issues too!

PIP not working

I just received my Oreo OTA on my S8+, and when I play a video on YouTube and click the home button I just get to the home screen and the PIP is not showing up as expected.
Is this a known issue? Am I doing something wrong?

Only way for it to work is open youtube on the internet not the app but it will only work using Samsung internet not Chrome.
