So like, had my Bolt since day one, and well, I started having issues with my text messages just yesterday. I hear the recent OTA fixes these issues. So, can I by any chance, update my phone and keep my root?
Can someone give me some details. Im on a Mac, if it matters.
If you want to update your phone I would use the updates you find here on the forum. They are designed to retain root.
Read: Developer Section.
First off I want to say that MacRom is the most stable/speedy ROM I've used so far (thanks for all the hard work!).
Just a couple issues with the new MR8 update:
1. The new market seems to be really slow? (maybe just due to the older Eris' lack of speed?)
2. I don't know if this is a market related issue or not, but I can't install a couple apps I use. The market doesn't give me an option to even download them: Words with Friends and Google Books. I'm not sure if it's related to the new market or if the apps are somehow incompatible with the new MR8 update?
3. Is there a way to get rid of the blue line that appears whenever you tap the screen to make a selection? I've been searching but have yet to find a way. The line just kind of annoys me, personally.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I love this ROM! Thanks!
Dude the same thing has been happening the past two days for me on Deadly and Spicy ROMs. For instance I had not been able to get Titanium but I got my Pro key fine, and same thing with XDA, regular worked fine but couldn't download premium. I took a nap earlier and woke up and had premium I'm about to check Titanium so it may be a Market issue.

Good to know. Hopefully it's just a market issue then, but still no luck for me...
same here
i too am wondering why i can't download certain apps from the market, like facebook for example. it's not already installed and i get no download button for that app in the market...but i get download button for most other apps.
also wondering about how to get rid of blue bar on menu selections.

I've seen the same issues with MR8 and MR9... I'm looking into the issue, but haven't found a work-around yet. I'm thinking it may possibly be a result of the build revision bump to 2.3.5 that might be throwing the market off (showing the phone as incompatible with your device), but it's only a theory, no fact to that yet...
Glad to know I'm not the only one as I have been having trouble downloading my premium apps too. I flashed 2.3.5 yesterday. I'm a noob so I was wondering what I Fk'd up... LOL!

just got the new market and after it updated i'm not getting any internet connections from the market or from browsing with the browser. i can browse the market but i can't download any app.
i uninstalled the new update and had to restart the phone to get everything back to normal, but after exiting the market and going back in, it's updated again.
any of you guys get this?
The data problem is a known issue. Never heard of it re-installing itself though.
anything that i can do to get data connection back?
are you on froyo (4.1.83), updated via OTA to gingerbread, or installed gingerbread manually via unlocking your bootloader?
If you are on radio .30, try downgrading to .15. I am currently on .30 but i think that radio is causing issues.
I fix it by enabling Airplane mode and then disabling it. It resets the radio and the downloads continue. Garbage, but whatever.
The new market is def the culprit for crappy network connection! Someone else posted about this, and how to fix and it's absolutely solved my issues! The solution? Go into SETTINGS, APPLICATIONS, ALL, click on MARKET and then "uninstall upgrade". It reverts back to older market style, but alleviates all the network connection problems.

i'm on official OTA update gingerbread. didn't root.
except by uninstalling the update, the update will continue to install once you exit the old market.
i guess it's either something that either moto has to fix or google themselves. this is ridiculous.
moto is pushing the new market to all devices now,so if you revert,it trys to reupdate
Sucks knowing that it still does this on official 2.3.4 and with official market update. I love the market look but can't use it.

Try creating a new APN with the same HSDPA settings you currently have.
(APN - phone, MCC - 310, MNC - 410, APN type - default,supl,agps,fota,dun, everything else not set.)
Guys, I'm trying to help out my dad. He has an Atrix, stock unrooted and locked. He updated to 2.3.4 last week. When he installed the new market, he says it signed him out of Google Talk and other apps, and he starts getting lots and lots of Force Closes. I had him "uninstall updates" to revert and the problems went away. Then he tried again and the same issues happened. He can uninstall updates again I guess, but eventually he's going to need the new market, right? Anyone else have this problem?
looks like the new market is causing network connection problems. not sure if there is a cure for this yet. either the new gingerbread ota is causing issues or the new market is causing the issues.
hopefully we get an update from moto or google updates the market with some bug fixes.
Yeah really not impressed with the market... im sure the bugs will get fixed soon though. It has potential.

Yeah I just had my dad test it on WiFi and the problem disappeared. Thanks for the info.
i've noticed that once the phone goes to sleep everything is fine. apps that were selected that failed to download will download while the phone is asleep.
just wish either moto or google would have tested out the new market a bit better.
I would try to find a program that can "freeze" the market updater. You can do it with TItanium Backup but you need to be rooted. I think it will only updat via WiFi so I downloaded everything I needed, then froze the updater and never had an issue. The new market is a pain in the rom.
Already a few threads about this. Please search before posting.
Cheers!

1) This is not helpful after several hours and two pages of activity.
2) The only other thread with "Market" in the title on the first three pages of the general forum or the Q&A forum is one [Q] thread about how to keep the old market, and it's a) not really the same topic as this thread, and b) newer than this thread.
So.... yeah. Cheers to you too.
Reset via airplane mode works for me
Like "ecapox" on page 1 said, just reset the radio put putting phone in airplane mode and then out.
Interestingly, you only need to do it once. After that, the data connection is still good even with reboot.
Enjoy.
How do you get the new market?

I keep getting the pop-up notification from Device Management about the update for my SGS2. Currently, I'm running stock with the launch version (I777UCKH7), rooted with my own tweaks. I'd rather not bother with an incremental update and just keep things the way they are for now (if it ain't broke, don't fix it) until ICS comes along...
Can I disable the check/notification? It's getting really annoying to have to hit it several times per day.
I know this isn't the answer you are looking for, and maybe someone knows how to do that exactly...
I would say go for the update... I don't believe anyone has had any problems with it. Me personally: I tried to update but it gave an error and wouldn't install, and now I don't get the notification anymore even though I didn't "really" update. My S2 is rooted with most junk removed via Titanium Backup, but stock rom and modem.
I totally forgot to come back with an update. I followed your advice and accepted the next time it asked if I wanted to update. It began, then said that I was already up to date. Hasn't bothered me again since then. Odd.
Hey guys,
I recently got pushed the OTA update for the Galaxy S3 on Sprint. I didn't notice anything different until I went to use my Andy-83 app. I'm sure some people are familiar with this app, the TI-83 emulator thing.
It's now blacked out and unusable. I even uninstalled and reinstalled and it's BLACKED OUT! Must have been the update doing this.
Curious to know is there a way around this, I miss using this app, as I am a student. Also, does anyone have other apps with the same issue?
Sidenote- I know rooting is ultimate solution, but I really dont have the time, expertise, and effort for that right now.
Thanks.
Yup, some apps might no be compatible with the latest android version (or your current updated version).
Sucks, but its like that, wait for an app update, try and contact the developer.
