Has anyone else had weird issues after getting the new market update? I'm running stock thunderbolt, and after getting the new market, the web browser and camera have been having issues where they seem to refresh constantly. In the browser, it looks like the notification bar keeps coming up, constantly taking focus away from what ever field i'm in. The camera is the same, except instead of the notification bar, it just keep refreshing, not allowing you to take a picture or use a menu.
When I uninstall the update for the market, the problem goes away, but, it comes back again soon after, as the market updates itself in the background. Any fixes for this or anyone else having the same issues?

When the vibrant first came out, the first thing that caught my attention was no matter how many apps I was running, they were going to be there waiting (in memory) for me to come back, multitasking at its best. This happened especially with the web browser. If you were browsing the web and needed to grab something from another app, take call or message; once back in the browser, everything was there in the same place (and up to 8 tabs/windows). My previous phone was the Mytouch 3g, which needed to reload all tabs when back into the browser, or even worse, just the home page.
After the froyo update was released (I not sure if this happened as well on the update that supposedly fixed the gps back on October), all apps started to be killed by the system after you switch from them even for a few seconds. This is especially annoying in the web browser. No matter how long you are away from the browser, once back all tabs/windows start reloading. I know that at this point all task-killer-lovers would say why I am complaining about this. Basically is that I would love to decide which app stays and which app goes. I know that if you leave an app running for a long time, the system would kill it eventually when in need of resources, but that doesn’t mean leaving the browser for 2 seconds and everything starts to reload.
I have tried dolphin and opera with the same result. This has happen to me when running the stock froyo update from Tmobile, Nero V, Axura 2.2.7 & 8, Ginger Clone Final and Bionix V 1.2.1. I have tried without any luck killing the task manager process, remove the jobmanager.apk and even used other task killers to see if the ignore list feature had some effect.
Searching the web for an answer only shows a few posts about this, everybody since to like the app-killing way or thinks is not a problem for what it’s worth.
A note about the app-killing term, I don’t know if what is happening in my system is actually the app being terminated. I say this because it doesn’t show on the native task manager, but once you go back to the browser or apps like Google reader usually the page is there, of course, after all reloading is done (time, time and more time) and the information you were trying to fill out or the news you were reading is gone.
I noticed that for a few weeks now I'm getting spam type notifications in my notification bar saying things like I've won a free ipad. Was just clearing them out, but now I notice that a shortcut to a "market" has showed up on my homescreen. Can't find anything I didn't install in titanium or my stock application manager. Anyone know what this is and how it gets through my security app. I'm using bit defender. I notice my phones a bit glitchy as well. Widgets aren't wanting to load up. I'd like to figure it out before I do a data wipe.
Usually happens after installing a cracked app. Although I have seen this after installing MP3 Music down loaders as well.
Search for "Airpush detector" in the market then uninstall whatever apps are detected then they shouldn't show up again

Thanks for the info. Got em. It was a couple of winter scene live wallpapers.
I have discovered an issue with the latest Gmail update and am curious if anyone else is too.
I have been having issues with my MoPho going into "Silent Mode" for no valid reason. Everything works fine then all volume voes silent including ringers, notifications, dialer key sounds, etc. The only way to get sounds working was by restart. I have traced it to the Gmail app notifications. When a new email arrives I get the status bar and audible notices, then the sounds go dead. Since un-installing the latest update to Gmail everything seems fine again.
This makes the second google app update I've had to revert from. There has also been reported issues with google search causing com.process.motorola.home to FC when opening from the app drawer.
Anyone else experience this?
FWIW I'm running rooted stock 2.3.4.

I haven't seen that... it seems pretty unlikely that the Gmail app could cause Silent Mode to be enabled, but I guess stranger things have happened.
It's not "turning silent mode on". When I get the notification and read the email sound no longer works after exiting Gmail. Don't understand it, either. The volume is up all the way, but you can't hear anything. I wound up having to revert back with Gmail AND YouTube (I discovered this after testing) and now I don't have anymore no sound issues. I guess I should reinstall them, make it happen (I can reproduce it at will) and get the logcat and see if it gives any useful info.
I have also had to revert back with google search, too. If I install the update and try to use google search from within the app drawer I get a FC in com.process.motorola.home. Removing the update gets rid of the FC.

I have tested these apps many times and never experienced this issue, are you loading any other apps at the same time?
Not doing anything differently than I have in the past. The issue showed up the day they updated and stopped the day I reverted back. Not loading any other apps at the same time or anything unusual.

@FernBch
it happens to me, but nothing linked to Gmail..
this is what i do when i dont hear anything when i get a text message: go into settings > sound > notification tone
I try changing it to another sound. if i hear nothing, i stop all running apps (because usually the stock media player is open for some reason.)
if there's no sound after checking again. i use my file explorer to play a mp3 via stock media player, once it plays fine, the notification sound works...
its a messy thing i have to go through when it happens.. but i dont know why...
Got my Titan last Friday, loving parts of it (design of both WP7 and the phone itself, smoothness).
However I can't get over these (related) issues, can anyone help me:
1. apps restart when you open them again. I see a splash screen and there's a delay. Is this normal? Shouldn't these apps just resume (almost) instantly?
2. I use Twitter a lot. All twitter apps (most of them look gorgeous!) I've tried can't keep their position in the timeline when restarted. The app restarts completely and loses the position in the timeline, making it unusable for me. I've tried all settings in these apps, no luck.
Hello,
from some time I get occasionally, mostly at phone reboot, weird notifications in status bar which have facebook or google play logo. Any move I do to get rid of it ends with downloading, but I don't know what. It usually has a cartoon astronaut logo and lots of chinese characters and downloading bar. Download ends at 40-60% and nothing happens. I cannot localize anything weird in memory and background processes, no new apps, spam, or services.
Of course I didn't download anything suspicious or Facebook or any stupid game. It came up by itself. I hade same apps I always had on previous android phones and nothing like that happened ever. I get my S2 from someone else but at first I flashed 2.3.6 GB, stock official one. Then I rooted it and get RootAppDelete to get rid of some stuff. I don't use Facebook so it was uninstalled quickly.
Anyone has the same thing?
