Market Issues? - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is anybody else missing the paid game/apps tab on the Market? I already fixed my issue, but just wanted to know if it was just me or if it was a more widespread issue. My market was also really slow (same way it was on the G1 towards the end), but that's also fixed as well.
Just in case anybody else is having said issues, my fix was to replace "vending_preferences.xml" only thing was that as opposed to finding said file in
/data/data/com.android.vending/shared_prefs/

on this device I found the file in

[Q] CoPilot Live USA

Does anyone know of another source to purchase and download CoPilot besides the Market. That is one of the few apps that my Gpad with Vagan 5.1 cannot find.

I'm having the same difficulties. Anyone know an answer?

Try ALK Technologies website, I'm using it with my gpad,Tomtom reciever and it works great.
Have a friend buy it on their phone...
I had my friend buy it on his Droid X and then just copy the APK over to my G-Pad and installed it. Worked fine.
I have CoPilot Line USA installed on my gTab. But when i launch the app i get "Your Device ID (IMEI) is invalid."
Any ideas on how to fix this ?

I have the same issue and contacted support. They need some files from me. switch back to the previous software version and you'll be fine.

I have the same issue. Latest update on the market did it. Support says they will have a fix early next week.
I'd like the earlier version in the meantime also. It also has bugs, but I could work around them.

Here It Is
Hey guys,
I have it, but it's too big to upload here as an attachment. It's almost 15 megs. Any thoughts?

How do we activate this or purchase?
You have to purchase it on the market. The new file they have isn't working properly. This is the previous version. So go to the market and purchase it. Then delete the downloaded file (the one you purchased) and replace it with this one. Allegdegdly there will be a fix sometime next week. I wouldn't hold my breath.

Thank you. That got me up and running again.
My guess is that they were trying to strengthen their licensing, and forgot that a lot of tablets don't have phones in them. Thus the tablets don't have the file the new version was looking for. The version you uploaded has a bug that sometimes asks for your license number in the middle of getting location information, but you can back out and work around that bug.
Jon
Its asking me for a 15 digit order number....my Google checkout receipt has a very long number....not 15 digits. How are u guys getting around this?
Once you purchase the app, they will send you a license key. It can take a few days to get this and in the mean time you get a cryptic message. Be patient.

[Q] Lookout Security Notification

Lookout Security keeps throwing up a notification that says the following:
Prevention Information
An application has been forced to stop for an unauthorized attempt to access system in your device. It may be safe to delete an application obtained from an unauthorized route. Check now?

When I click OK, though, it just takes me to a list of applications, with no further guidance about which app it is. Anyone know what this is, what it means, and how to rectify it?

Is rooting the device the only way to get rid of this? Is there a way without root to disable this?
if you are with sprint, if you read the Sprint TOS that you signed when you got the phone it says that rooting will not void your warranty they just ask that u put it back to stock when upgrading or having service done to it. Who has ever went to upgrade their phone and the rep put it in to download mode to check something like that? And when I had my s2 rooted and needed service on the ear piece I just left cm 10 and all my stuff just the way it was and they never said anything to me about it.

I forgot to move my rooted tether app from my home screen and took it for service. The rep looked down, looked up at me, and went to a different screen to work from. Classic.
yeah, when I went to Sprint to have my last phone looked at, the rep asked me point blank if the phone was rooted -- but it was not in an accusatory way, it was more a "I need to know for the purposes of what I'm doing." Did not get the sense from the way she asked that it would have made a bit of difference to her in terms of whether they would still work on the phone.
As an aside, does anyone know what exactly could be causing the alert? It popped up when I was logged onto an airport wifi network, which gives me some concern.

It is a known issue, not by Lookout, but Knox AND a fix is coming from Sprint. Many threads to be found.

Not just you. A lot of folks think it's Lookout. Just letting you know the info is out there.
I have a tough time getting reasonable search results on the forum, but that's just me. I do search anyway, every time.

Accelerometer- test FAILED!?

Hi guys,
hope you'll be able to help me out with this. Under Diagnostics-->Orientation--> Accelerometer, my brand new Xperia Z4 fails the test since it won't vibrate while shaking the device! Now, vibration itself works fine it's just won't do it in that particular test. Does it mean I've got a faulty device? Can you kindly check if the same problem exists in your devices.
Also, when I've got my music/youtube on and changing orientation, audio seems to cut off for a split second during the transistion. Is it releated you think?
Thanks so much for your help in advance!
And 1st i thought mine was too.. Try shakin itnevery way possbile.. Got mine to vibrate

I've tried that with no luck unfortunately. What about this other "audio-orientation" issue I've got? This is my first Sony device so I don't know whether that's something normal or not?

This audio issue is software bug, i have it too. And for accelerometer i got failed couple of times, but it's working. If it doesn't work you would not be able to rotate screen orientation.

I'm glad the audio issue is a software bug. It's a bit annoying but hopefully it'll be addressed in the future updates. I can live with that...for now As for the failed test, you think it's really nothing to worry about? The auto-rotation works just fine but why it won't vibrate during the test? You reckon that's the diagnostics issue, another bug perhaps? I just wonder if that's a common issue, that's all?I hope you guys will let me know

I've tried for the millionth time and it finally vibrated then it wouldn't again! Well, I'm telling you it was far from shaking it gently . Like you said, it must be another bug!Thanks for your help mate. Much appreciated!

Camera Issues

Hey everyone. So asking for a friend that has the phone.
When trying to use the camera app, everything seems to be out of focus, as if it doesn't wanna adjust. Played around with settings, and wiped data/cache.
I've installed another camera app with manual controls of focus, iso and what not, but still the same.
I think he updated it pretty recent because he is running on 8.1.0.
Just asking to see if anyone else is having similar issues.

Here is a post with the same problem:

I think it is a hardware issue and I think they returned the phone for a new one.

Yeah we tried googling around but weren't able to find anything specific for the phone, and we even found ourselves on their fourms too. Lol
Well it looks like this may be the case, I'll be sure to pass along the info over to him.
Thank you!
Camera issues
So I've had this phone since November 7th and when I got it I noticed the camera was pretty good. After I updated it I noticed that there have been some focus issues and some other problems I pretty much got it day one in the USA through shipping. When I first received it it was fine and now after updating it I've noticed some issues. I think this is a software issue. Since I've gotten it I think I've updated it four times and I retested the camera and I've gone through a few settings. It's not the same as when I first used it. So, I don't think this is a hardware issue at all I totally believe this is software problem. Let me know your thoughts.
I just started to have this issue as well. I am not sure if its hardware or software related but the problem seems to have cropped up after my lastest firmware update.
It was me who had this issue, it was related to a defective Laser Autofocus.

It has been fixed, not replaced.

Force 18:5 aspect ratio for unoptimized games

As the title says: Is there a way to force games into a 18:5 ratio? Most games don't work properly yet and have visual issues or are simply unplayable. I added 2 less extreme example.
PS: I'm talking about something like Samsungs app scaling settings. This phone is missing this option which is one of the biggest problems right now. Apps are obviously not always optimized for 21:9 yet so this is a neccesity. I hope Sony reacts to it as fast as possible.
Got a typo in the title. Can some moderator change this? That's a thing xda-developers needs to improve.
did you enable developer options and see if you can make any changes in there?

Yeah, couldn't find anything there. Can't check it again right now though, had to send my device in. Can check it again once it's back which will probably take 4-5 days. My speaker crackled a lot, probably a hardware issue.
so, it was defective right out of the box?

Yeah. They got it today so i guess i should have a new (hopefully) working one in 2-3 days max. It's really weird to not have a phone :')
actually, its a good feeling to not be annoyed for a few days with endless meaningless texts/spam phone calls..

I hope so. Currently waiting for them to either send it back (or to send me a new device). It only occurs in third party apps after all. Maybe my device helped them to find the problem?
didnt get anything on 3-15..anyone else?
