I really hate Android Market. It's probably the worse app of all android apps (ironical isn't it?).
But one of the things that really makes me crazy is the "Update All" feature. It just never works! Not only that, it actually makes things worse!
Usually it tries to download all things at once which soon causes a crash of the app or device, after which the progress of all apps just stays stuck, even when they're 100% downloaded!
Then the only solution is to go over all of the apps, one by one, cancelling the download (after which the app is shown as "not installed" in the market!) and installing again.
So this superduper feature costs even more time than updateing one-by-one would!
Am I the only one experiencing this? I really hate it!

I could be wrong but I don't think 1.6 supports the update all feature. In any case, I've never had that problem on either my streak or nexus one. Maybe if you cleared the cache in the market app that might help.

it causes errors when an application that needs update requires permissions. these are not properly handled by 1.6 but should work in 2.2.
I just use AppBrain. Very useful to remember what apps you have installed if you have to do a total reset too.

Because Market gets often automatically updated and I hoped they'd fix such a problem soon (naive, I know).

how do you take screenshots on vibrant?

Or if you have ADB installed, you could run ddms.bat (from the tools folder I believe is where it's at) to capture a screen shot. You must have USB debugging enabled also.

You're probably better off just downloading one of the programs these guys are telling you about then. They will all get the job done for you.

Confused
My vibrant is taking random screenshots of my phone. I will be doing something random like texting or surfing online and I will hear a click from the camera. The bottom of my screen will say screenshot saved. I dont know what I am doing to cause this. Sure there is times I would like to take a screenshot if I knew how it worked, but these are so random. I am running 2.2 and have not installed any apps for that function
I'm running cm7 1.6.1 on t'bolt and I'm noticing when I go into sub menus instead of switching, it overlaps. I'm also running animod but not sure if that's the cause, because it didn't always do that.

I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that you changed the default fonts to something of your own liking and that the font is most likely to blame...
Agreed. It definitely looks like fontface and size were changed which is causing the overlaps.
Thanks for the reply guys but what I meant was if I do menu>settings>adwlauncher>uisettings.....the menu that would come up, appears on top of "uisettings"(for example) I added a clearer pic. These are two screens showing at the same time.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk
Revert to the default fonts and see if it continues to happen on this menu too.
Did you ask the same question in this ROM's thread (in the development section) ?
Yeah I tried that but it didn't work. Don't have enough post yet to post in development. It won't let me.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk
I would say it's a problem with "animod" or your settings. I assume animod modifies animations or transitions which is probably what caused your problem when going from one menu to the next. It's definitely not a CM problem though. Try removing animod, restoring to a backup prior to animod changes, or wipe and flash CM...problem will probably vanish.
Ok well after a full wipe and flash. I found out animod wasnt the problem it was the epic bold and blue theme I was using from the theme chooser. Which sucks cuz it was the best blue theme. Thanks for all the help.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk
Yea, whenever you have a problem...always mention if you've themed anything. I have never used (or heard of) animod so that was the likely candidate to me since I wasn't sure exactly what all you did with it or what it does and you didn't mention themeing.
Either way, glad you figured it out.
Heh, I did a quick Google search for 'animod' and only got stuff related to anime cartoon stuff !

Hi everybody,
maybe this is a stupid question, but I would like to understand why since I've installed GetJar app on my Nexus One, when I open Dalvik Debug Monitor I see the following process (please take a look at the screenshot).
Thank you in advance, I just would like to understand if there is something to worry about

I've noticed that Getjar runs constantly, even when not in use. That's why I freeze it with Titanium unless I actually need to use it.
Ehm... and did you have any side effect doing so? Is there anyone who can tell us why the hell getjar is always running? I wish it's nothing malicious.
Thank you for your answer jesusice

I've had no ill effects. I don't think it's malicious, I just think it's a poorly desgned app and since I use it infrequently I'd prefer for it not to be running contantly.
I think I'll do as you do, I'll freeze the app. Thanks again
Do you have the first version of Cut the Rope 1.0 installed? The one they gave away for free as a 0-day promotion. If I'm not wrong the getjar service is part of the Getjar app market much like an android market service. You can safely uninstall both Getjar app and the service after you install Cut the Rope. Hope this helps.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
I've been trying to search but haven't found anything on this issue. A couple of weeks ago I noticed a number of apps that appeared on my All Apps list without me ever even installing them.

The two by martetrut and the casino one. I tried searching my phone for any trace of these apps and found nothing other than their appearance on this list.
Today, I looked at my list and now more mystery apps have appeared, with another app by that martetrut dev.
I downloaded lookout and Norton and ran several scans and they didn't pick up anything.... I'm a little concerned.
Anyone have any idea on what's causing this or had a similar experience? I'd appreciate any help/input.
If it matters, I'm completely stock.

Someone may be using your account to download apps. go to play.google.com on your computer, click on the gear in the upper right corner and go to My Orders & Settings.
The Orders tab can show you when the apps in question were downloaded.
Click on the Settings Tab and look under devices to make sure only your phone is listed.
Unfortunately I don't think there is a way to delete or unauthorize a device, but at least you'll know if someone else is causing those apps to show up or not.
Best thing to do is change your account password.

Yes, this was my first thought. I would guess someone is using your account to download apps on another device.
as other users said, it's probably someone else using your account.
maybe you gave/sold your old android phone to someone without wiping data.
btw, changing your password can be a good solution
Will Chrome work on any ROM for the X2?
The notes for the Cyanogenmod 10 build say:
"Some ICS/JB Apps Will Crash: This is noticeable on Chrome for example. This is because our drivers don't have External OES Textures. Basically that means when the apps want to draw using them (such as with Chrome's tab preview) the app will crash. This is the same problem on CM9/ICS. There is nothing we can do."
but I am asking whether that means that Chrome is essentially unusable or if there is some bypass such as disabling tab preview (I do not know what tab preview is, or how central it is to Chrome).
Thanks!
no.our kernel is too old so it dosent have certain things a ics/jb kernel regquires to run chrome (which is why chrome only runs on 4.0+) therefore there is essentially no way to run chrome (to my knowledge at least) + no there is no way to disable the indvidual part of chrome for it to work.we just dont have the necissary resources to do it.
Last time I played with my x2 chrome did work fairly well on cm9. That's not to say there wasn't the occasional issue though

Sorry to wake up an old thread, but I am posting this from my Droid X2 on Cyangenmod 10, Android 4.1.2, in hopes it will help somebody. I Tried many versions of Chrome with no luck. Was getting a force close upon open.
Then I installed Chrome Dev version 48. Opens and runs perfect. But seems to have tab preview disabled by default, hence why it runs. Very fast and stable.
