New Market affecting Atrix? - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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?

[Q] Android Market doesn't load and forces shut

Hello everybody,
this is my first post ever. I've been following XDA developers for many years when I was still using Windows Mobile PDA's and later smartphones. This Forum has helped me with so much.
But now Im facing a problem which I cant find a solution for. Maybe this has been solved in another thread already, then I'm sorry that I must have overlooked it.
I purchased and Xperia X10i about two weeks ago. Everything worked fine out of the box.
Then I updated the software via the PC connection to 2.1
Before I of course backedup everything.
After the update I restored my backup and everything seemed to work proper.
Yesterday when I tried to access the Market place the screen popped up and it showed me the loading message but it simply didn't load. The screen flashed a few times then the app was forced shut.
I searched on several forums and followed the instructions posted by people with similar problems.
1. It was suggested that I perform a Hardreset. This didnt work through the method by pressing the left and right key simultaniously and the pressing and releasing the power button. For whatever reason my phone just boots normally
2. Factory reset through the menu: Settings > SD card & Phone storage: This option is not even present after the software update
3. Deinstalling Market update: I deinstalled the updates for the market application but that didnt change anything
4. Using the update function of the PC software to repair the update:
I performed another update through the repair function this seemed to make matters worse. Now when I go to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications I cant even see the other installed application except one UEFA something.
Funny enough everything else on the phones seems to work well.
Details about the network.
I live in Kenya and use Safaricom as my carrier. There were no issues before I updated
I work in South Sudan and use Vivacell. I dont use Vivacell for data but rather use my wireless connection. Up until the update and even shortly afterwards that worked just fine.
Im really confused. Don't know what else to try.
Should I root the device and install Froyo rather?
Thank you in advance for any suggestions, and again if this has been solved elsewhere then I'm really sorry for overlooking it. Please post a link if so.
Update for point 4.
Point 4. was simply my own stupidity. I had a filter set wrong. never the less the market problem remains
using the application from AppPit instead at the moment. This one works fine and donwloads and installs have no issues.
Would love to use the marked though because bit has way more apps which I need. AppPit is a bit limited

[Q] MacRom MR8 market/app issues

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.
Sent from my Spicy Eris GB using XDA Premium App
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!

New Market app FCing crazily with process.com.vending.android

The Market app updated itself and now crashes after about 5s of launching. I can't download anything. Anyone know a fix? Or how do I revert to the old app and force it not to update?
I'm running CM7.0.3
EDIT: I tried to get the old .apk from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=869502 But it didn't work. The installation aborted in Recovery.
Settings, applications, market, clear data
This will make you have to sign back in and accept the eula for the market.
Used to fix mine until I really bjorked it....then had to reload rom and wipe all cache.
No, dude. It still FCs with the same ****. Maybe I should use Titanium to wipe data.
FCing new market
This happened to me too. Apparently there is an auto-update of the market? I had to keep uninstalling it to keep the market working. Then I migrated to the ASOP ROM in which the new market works for me.
ByteWrencher
I got Titanium to revert, but launching Market updates itself. Besides getting the paid version of Ti and then freezing the app, is there any other way to stop the damn thing from updating itself? Heck! How do I even get the paid version of Titanium if I can't get to the market in the first place.
me too....
everything fine yesterday...today, force closes as soon as i click anything in market.......hoping someone finds a fix. i haven't found one yet.
i hate it when they can't leave well enough alone.
Same here....
New market FCing can't even use it....I'm on Vegan Gingerbread....Can't revert back to original.

I had the same problem sooooo....I just went to settings....applications...market....unistalled the updates and then restarted my tablet. The old market was there and everything worked just fine.
New Market Update released 3.0.27 from 3.0.26 and working on GTAB (so far)
I just sideloaded the new Updated version of market. It seems to be running ok my GTAB (Running GtabComb 3.3 BL1.2)
Though its a tad spotty at times it's not Force Crashing at all as the 3.0.26 version did on this device.
One odd thing to note is: There are now 2 Market Icons in my app drawer.. one loads the stock version and the other loads the 3.0.27 version..
I've attached the file.
Moderators.. I'm not sure if this attachment is allowed..Please Advise if I should edit this post!
TYIA!
tried sideloading....same thing....force closes every 5 sec or so.....
anyone find a fix, or any idea what is causing it? works fine on my phone, is just my gtab that seems affected.

What version Market are you using? I have no issues with mine and has worked like a charm since applying this Market fix a month or so ago. I always had issues with my market until this fix. I am on Market version 2.3.6. You'll need to be rooted...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=861044
I am not sure but have you tried to fix permisions in clockwork mod or if you have ROM manager you can do it from there as well
I am on CM7 and going to Applications, Market, Uninstall Updates worked. Thanks!
I also had the same issues and uninstalled the update. Once I uninstalled, it reverted back and has not tried to update itself.
I am having the same problem!!!
I personally love the new market. Its designed more for a tablet this way, isn't it? Its nice to see my gtab is recognized as a tablet rather than some unknown android device.

Even switching ROMS didnt solve FC new marketplace
the only fix I got was to get TIBU PRO installed, (did this by uninstalling the market updates and immediately launching Market to load TIBU).
Once TIBU is installed (finally), (you may have to uninstall the market update...many many times) but once you have the original market back running on the tab launch TIBU and FREEZE Market Updater 1.0 and finally Market Feedback Agent.
Once that is done, you should be good to go.
EDIT: Dont freeze the Market, else you wont be able to launch it.
The easiest fix is to go to Settings/language and keyboards/ and the set your default language to english. Have not had a problem since I did that.

Well I tried it yesterday and it has seemed to resolve the Market issue. I can't explain why setting the language would have this effect, but it did.

Error - Application Already Exists when updating Market apps

It seems that many, if not all, of the apps I try to 'update' in the Android market generates an error on the Prime that says 'Application already exists' in the menu bar with an ! icon. This is annoying... I can uninstall / reinstall the app to get an update, but whenever I just click update in the Market, I get this error a lot.
Of course the application already exists! I'm updating it. Stupid Prime.
Does anyone have a fix for this? I searched the forum and didn't see anyone mention this annoying problem.
Are you getting system reboots?
Rumour has it the system reboots are a result of a failure while optimizing apps for ICS during the upgrade process.
Sounds like perhaps your OSs view of your apps is a little messed up...

No. Actually, I seem to have the least amount of problems with the Prime compared to most on the forum. Really, this issue and the weak GPS signal are the only ones I've had. Well, and the decreased wifi bandwidth when streaming bluetooth. But everything else generally runs smooth.
Two apps for example that I had this issue with... updating Google Voice and eTrade. Both of those for sure gave me the error that the app already existed. Uninstalling and reinstalling worked fine to grab the latest version.
Actually, I take that back. Sometimes when I do an uninstall / reinstall, it still says there is an update available.

Unfortunately I have the same issue. I haven't found a good way to work around it yet. As you have found sometimes uninstalling works and sometimes not.
Sometimes uninstalling it, rebooting the Prime, then reinstalling it works. Although, that's still sometimes as far as I can tell.
I've just started getting this issue when trying to update Officesuite Pro, first time it's happened.
Oddly enough when first typing this reply my Prime locked up and rebooted itself, which it's not done before.
Never had a reboot under ICS, at least not yet. But quite frequently have this problem. So I guess there is no correlation between the two.
The only anomalies that I experience are Skype or Talk video calls that suddenly die. No FC or any other message, Skype or Talk just exit.
I bet these types of problems will go away with a root and a custom rom in the future. Wish Asus would release the bootloader unlocking tool already!

Can you do that on a non-rooted Prime? I'm just waiting for the official unlock tool to go through that process.
This has happened to me on select apps too. Particularly xe app and officesuite pro. Can't seam to update them to the current version no matter what I do. Unistall/reinstall, clear delvik, and clear market data hasn't worked for me

Yeah... right now for me, it's Google Voice. And the worst part is, you can't get it to stop saying it's updating the market app even though it stops almost immediately. Annoying.
I get this sometimes, but I press update again and it updates fine

Random reboot is a normal way of life with android. A reboot here or there is nothing to worry about. Most of the time its from a bad app you installed. Now if you rebooting several times a day, then that's a problem. Its actually good to reboot or at least power down n then back on device every once in a while. It'll give device a fresh start on RAM and clear any mishaps that may have or could occur. Same deal with Ipad. They recommend rebooting every now n then for a fresh start and to have more ram available for use.
I haven't had this happen on my Prime, but I was having this same issue today on my Sprint GSII.
Not sure if this is a work around, but it just worked for me. Instead of updating the app from the 'my apps' section of the market, I went to the page in the market with the full app description. I clicked the update link there and it installed fine. I'll have to test this theory out more.
i too am facing similar probs. while updating WhatsApp and Skype too it shows that the application is already existing.
pls. note. both WhatsApp and Skype are under different Accounts
can this cause a prob that previously i would have installed it by 1 account and later on by another account when i changed the phone ?
pls. guide.

[Q] [ROM]SonySan RLS 2.0 Sprint/VM [CM9][1/13/13]

Greetings,
I'm hoping I can get some assistance with the " SonySan RLS 2.0 Sprint/VM [CM9][1/13/13] " ROM.
Here's my breakdown first:
EVO3D Sprint
S-Off, 1.50 Dev Unlocked
I've run other ROMs in the past, some have worked better than others.
Recently, I had been running SonySan RLS1 and it was not bad but had a few quirks I was hoping to alleviate with the 2.0 release.
Following the basic routine: Backup, Wipe All but SD, install from recovery. Let finish, reboot, configure.
Sadly, my experience thus far with 2.0 has been mostly terrible.
Some issues:
1.) The OTA Updated program doesn't work. It didn't work for me with RLS 1 either. It reports "Error Fetching update info: Invalid ROM ((SonySan)) & device (shooter) combo!
2.)The Xperia Home/ Launcher crashes very regularly, and EVERY time I attempt to swipe to the right screen from my home screen. I'm not sure if there's some widget or something there causing the issue as I've never actually been able to see it.
3.) The built-in Wifi Hotspot doesn't seem to work. At all. For me, it just hangs at "Turning Wi-Fi On..."
4.) I still have the Google market rather than the play store. I grabbed the Playinstaller for the ROM, flashed it (via 4EXT Touch recovery) and still had no change. The Market crashes 98% of the time before I can do anything with it.
I've also flashed the latest appropriate gApps too.
Often, Market and the Xperia launcher crash immediately following a reboot.
I've tried re-flashing just the kernel, and I've since also gone ahead and reflashed the entire ROM (without a full-wipe).
Nothing seems to have helped. I've reverted back to 1.0 for now so at least I'm mostly stable.
Any suggestions?

Thanks for the reply.
2. Do you have a link for an updated version of the Launcher/Home?
3. So the hotspot is known to not be working and there's a separate app/download that needs to be downloaded to get it functional?
4. I've never had to remove the old market manually before, do you have a quick HowTo?
Man, would be nice if these things were listed as "not working / need fix" in the original description.
Thanks, and I"ll consider re-flashing to this ROM again perhaps when a new version is released.
So release 3 was made available a couple days ago and I decided to give it a try.
The results were much better than what I had with release 2 but still some things seems lacking/not of my preference:
1) The market issues persists. I've ran the "playstoreFix" a couple times now and nothing seems to change. Maybe there's more to it than just flashing it? The directions are ...absent. As it is, it's still showing market and crashes regularly.
2) Unless I'm missing something..I don't even see a basic clock/alarm built in. I guess I assumed this was pretty standard from all ROMs. Yeah, there are plenty 3rd party ones available but why not just keep the one that is integrated with the OS??
3) The OTA Updater app STILL doesn't work at all. It gives the same error I reported back in release 1.
4) Bluetooth seemed spotty but I haven't tested it much to really confirm the issue. Same wit the built-in wifi tether.
