New Market Too Slow - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This is going to sound really stupid but the new market (the tiled, dark one) is so slow it's unusable, regardless of which rom I'm using. Things will load eventually but I'm talking 4 or 5 mins per page to load. This is on my normal Huawei router.
By chance I used a different brand of router (at home, same line, same connection speed, etc) yesterday and market loads normally without any slowdown. Back to my own router and it slows right down again.
So my question is, what has changed in the new market that makes my router unable to load it properly? The old market loaded at normal speed, as it should. I can't change routers as the one I was using was just for testing purposes.
Can anyone shed any light on this please?

Try checking for router firmware updates, then try resetting your router.
Which router are you using?

Thanks for the suggestions, I've checked and it's on the latest firmware. Have also reset the modem but nothing changed. It's a Huawei H520b. I tried a D-link router yesterday and it loaded the marked perfectly.
It sounds like the new market uses some sort of different security settings or something, that my router can't handle. I'm not very techy so wouldn't know which settings to even look at!

Go into settings find the market and select uninstall updates. This will take you bacl to the previous version.
Then grab a program like Titanium Backup Pro and freeze the market updater in the list of apps and then you can stay on the previous version as long as you want...

Thanks, sorry to be a pain but I can't find anywhere to uninstall updates. No option for that, only clear cache. You did mean settings > applications > manage applications > market, or am I in the wrong place?
Much appreciated.

Try Freeze "Android Market 1.0" by Titanium... It work for me

my problem with the new one is it doesnt download more then one app at a time, in reality its better bc they will download faster but i like seeing them all at once lol

I don't have an option to uninstall updates...strange. I should have mentioned I'm not using stock, and I think the new market was included as standard with the Home Base rom I'm using.
I'm going to try to install the old market from an .apk file, see if I can revert back, then uncheck the update function, as suggested.
No big deal, I was just hoping there might be a setting I could change somewhere so I could use the new market.
Thanks for all your suggestions guys

That's a shame because for some on other custom ROMs, they can still use this method.
Oh well for anyone else that's interested. Settings->manage applications->market->uninstall updates.
This is the screen that you should see then and hit uninstall updates in the top right hand corner...

I did freeze the market updater, but I occasionally find the new market back again. Then I restore the old market from Titanium again. I tried the uninstall updates, but it didn't look like the old market so I did the restore. Anybody have any ideas?

This may not be your problem, but make sure when you download from the market you are not connected through wifi. Some wifi networks block the download port. However other wifi networks are just fine. When im at home it works great but when im connected to the wifi at work it just sticks on downloading.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
i am having same issue. i was only able to download one app at home
there after nothing can somebody please help
The same thing happens to me but only sometimes. It only happens when I try to download a ton of stuff at one time.
I post this every now and then, seems to help most.
open titanium backup, find Market
Click it, wipe data, two times if you like
still in TB, menu > more > Market Dr.
Go to the Market, accept policy
Menu > My apps
Profit?
Clearing cache/data will probably solve it, but if it doesn't use a similar vending.apk (its the market) and push it into system/app.
yeah, but I cant imagine everyone on the rom is having an issue with the Market. Data/Cache should do it. Maybe broken Market links (Mkt Dr.).
I have a problem where it doesnt start to download and i would have to go in and try to redownload it. Sucks but who know happened on a few roms i tried

[Q] Problem With Android Market

Hi! I got recently problem with my Android Market. I'm not quite sure what's the problem, but I think because I removed the important system applications. You know google's apps. The problem is that when I want to download an app from the market, it just stands on beginning to download the app, it never goes further....
How should i fix this?
Please help me.
Regards Paul
Can you try to delete the market app from /system/app back it up to sd card
And then place it back and reboot
Not sure if it will work but worth a try

I can test, but I don't think it will work..
Go to settings - manage applications and scroll down to market (impt: only market app and not the other market related apps) and then uninstall updates. And then download the apps u want.

Market servers are down. Be patient . WIll be normal soon
yes, I have had issues as well. No "downloads" were showing...
downloaded one app and now they are back.
could have been a Market server issue as well, but was screwed up for 2 days.
btw: the uninstall updates trick does work in most cases when Market is acting up
is the server still down ?
because i faced the same problem since couple of days

But so i get it right, it's nothing wrong with my phone. It's wrong with the server on Android Market?
I had this problem from last thus till yesterday. Was so p'd off I uninstalled the markets app. I'd recently updated and after uninstall the app was still there but as the previous version, it's working fine now. So I think it's something to do with the updates.

In my experience, if you can just uninstall the update, do that. If you can't, pushing the old market usually doesn't fix it.
There is a thread on here that shows you some options to clear that should make it work.

I tried literally all the suggested solutions of clearing. Pushing the old one is probably the only viable option left.

It will auto update even if you do that, unless you freeze it somehow.. I did the uninstall updates a couple times last night when it got pushed to my phone.. but it kept auto updating...
I still haven't received the update...I assume I just open the market and it'll start updating when it has it right?
Does it matter if I'm on Kenn's beta 4 and not any sort of official OTA build or anything?

Hmmm, my checkin was successful, but still no update... That's weird that I wouldn't get it yet, didn't they start pushing it to Atrix users like 2 or 3 days ago? And there's been no word that they stopped due to bugs or anything?

[REQ] Old Android Market APK

Does anyone have an APK of the old Android Market (with the lime green theme) that doesn't have all the ads on the apps homescreen? I have Sprint (obviously) and I live in a desolate corner of Nevada that doesn't have Sprint service (I know that sounds stupid...long story)...so I am perpetually roaming here and my data speeds are virtually non-existant, so when I'm not connected to Wifi the market takes FOREVER to fricken load...Also is there a way to make sure it doesn't update itself?
EDIT: Before anyone replies with a smartass comment I realize "Lojak29" posted an APK of "The Old Android Market" but this is still the newer version and not the one I'm looking for...thank you.
Sent from your moms house...she says hi.
If your Android market is slow on 3G or wifi download "Set DNS" from the market (free) and change the DNS to Google's. I would apply it to wifi and 3G under settings in the app.

I do use the "Masked Crusader" app that applies local Google DNS caching...I imagine thats the same thing right? And if so how does that make it quicker?

If you uninstall the market, it should revert to the version you want. Then to keep from updating, you must be rooted with Titanium Backup where you can freeze the app called Updater.

Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> Market -> Uninstall
You have the latest version of the Market that you downloaded. If you uninstall that one you will have your old market back.
