[Q] New android market application sux - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So, today I finally got my Samsung Galaxy S2 phone. Ofcourse already rooted it and changed the kernel. So I wanted to see what kind of speeds are possible on my new phone, and tried to install setcpu, but whatever I try, it will not load the setcpu page. All other application work, except setcpu.
When I search for setcpu in the android market, then click the link, I get a "Loading" screen till the end of time (no timeout, just keeps loading). If I then press back, and click on a different application it loads instant, if I go back again and click setcpu again, same error, just keeps loading.
Next to this error I also notest the Fancy Widget Pro application(that i bought!!) cannot be downloaded anymore, it just says: "This item is not availeble".
Anyone with a solution?

Restore back your Market version to old(ex: 2.3.6)
Are you using Market 3.1.6 ???

If your using 3.1.6 get off it... Something is up. It isn't signed properly and the dex is missing.. We tried to decompile it and run it through an emulator and logcat.. It wouldn't decompile. Highly suspect. Avoid that market.

[Q] Constant Market FC

I can't install any apps, Market gives me FCs every time. (1) I installed (thru ADB) the latest 2.1 Market version (with the "update all" option), but it FCs all the same. (2) I also did "fix permissions" thru ROM Manager, no difference.
The last app I installed was Tasker (which, incidentally, is pretty terrific even at its price). (3) I disabled Tasker, but Market continues to FC.
Strangely, at the same time I noticed the Gallery and Music apps do not see my external sdcard content. But Root Explorer does.
I one-click rooted my Vibrant, but otherwise I'm on the stock recovery, kernel and ROM.
Anyone else experienced this? Is it possible to fix permissions of just one specific app? Thanks,
George
this also happens to me. but it's not always forcing close. sometimes I can't download apps from the market.

I don't actually have a fix for this problem... but I gave up.
I figured it was easier to just do a ROM Manager restore. That did it.
George
how did you do it?

market only showing some apps

i have noticed that alot of the apps i have on my phone do not show up in the market on the nook. actually at most it only shows maybe 15-20 apps per category. i do a search for a app and it dont show up either. flash for instance does not exist in the market. anyone know why
turn the nook to landscape and more will show up. or install the new market.

I don't know why this.is happening, although I am having the same problem. I just started taking the apks from /data on my phone and loading them onto the nook and installing them that way. Its more complicated than using the market, but not a whole lot more complicated.!
Sent from my LogicPD Zoom2 using XDA App
irnoically turning it landscape mode worked as for showing up more apps lol. no clue why but it worked. it still wont find half the apps i have on my phone. like flash wont show up which is kind of important when using the web to its full. can you use astro to instal apps on this like you can on a phone? or is there some different procedure
There's another post in the nook forums which basically states to install "fastweb installer" and "AppBrain App Market". This worked for me and allowed me to find programs like Trillian (but at that price, @#[email protected]#$ that).
I don't think there's an overly usable flash at this point. You'll need to wait for 2.2 from B&N or the NookDevs.
The market on the NOOKcolor, even if it looks like the new market, will only show applications that conform to the Android API 7 API level (2.1 and below). FroYo apps all conform to the Android API 8, so they won't show up on your nook unless you drop FroYo onto it.

Using Root Explorer, I changed the System/App folder to R/W and was then able to upgrade the current Marketplace to the newer APK that is floating around the forums. With the new marketplace all apps are showing without needing to turn the screen to landscape.

The problem stated in this thread isn't about the ability to scroll lists in portrait or landscape, rather it is about the ability to see apps that other devices can find.
Two I have seen that immediately come to mind: searching for Firefox, and searching for Trillian (which was a rude way to find out Trillian is both out of beta and now rather expensive, dammit).
Neither will show up on the NC, but show up as the first result on my Droid.
And my NC is also running the latest iteration of Market.

Well, I know flash doesn't show up because it's not (yet) supported on NC. Maybe Firefox and Trillian don't show up for the same reason?

Some people are saying these apps, and others, are showing up for them no problem.

Are these people that are running nookie froyo, or stock 2.1?
All the apps will show up in nookie. They shouldn't in stock 2.1.
Worked on Nootered and Nookie Froyo .59 with new Market
I had the same issue and followed these insturctions from (i think) the original Nootered thread, but cant remember for sure.
Settings->Applications->Manage Applications-> Market->Clear Cache (NOT DATA!)
then
Settings->Applications->Manage Applications-> Google Services Framework -> Clear Data -> Force Close
reboot
After that SliceIt, Minimalistic Text, and others that were not available previously appear.

Have had nothing but fun playing with the nook. Even formatting my microsd card in the nook and ending up with it not turning on for a day till I repartitioned the storage didn't make me think it was not worth the effort. Compared to a $600 Galaxy Tab the nook is a bargain and well worth all the love bestowed on it IMHO.
fyi just clearing the market cache made some apps i couldn't find before appear. so even if the google framework is non existent in some like mine clearing cache does help
Google framework is not listed on my apps list. Im trying to download games such as angry birds and rocket bunnies but they don't show up

[Q] This Item Is Not Compatible With Your Device on Market with Vegan Tab 7.1

I just got Vegan Tab 7.1 and LOVE IT... the UI is fantastic!
However, there seems to be an issue with several if not most of my apps on the Android Market. I get the message "This item is not compatible with your device"
All of these apps I have used with previous roms including Vegan tab 7.0.3 and Cyanogen Mod 7.1
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
clear market data, then try again.... worked for me
Good Call, I should have thought of that.
Clearing data is only only a temporary fix (at least for me). A few hours later Market updates and I get the "not compatible" message again.
I clear data again and later it again updates.
The other solution seems to be to freeze the market updater.
That happend to me too...
I did go back to Harmony ROM.
one of the reason;
When using the Android Market website, a device will be grayed out if it isn’t compatible with the app you’re attempting to install. Most commonly, this occurs because the app isn’t designed for your device's screen size or version of Android.

I faced this issue as I changed my LCD density. After reverting back to the default LCD density value for my mobile, It worked normal.
I have also noticed that after the vegan 7.1 update, my device has *vanished* from the list of my devices on android market. Is anyone also noticing this?

What is the "default" density? After installing 7.1 i noticed it's now 160...
Regarding cache-clearing: I have tried that and it didn't work.

I am on stock 3588 plus the enhancement pack.
A couple of weeks ago I started having the same problem with the compatibility of most apps. In addition when I go the Market and then to My Apps now I only see a single app listed: LauncherPro. All other apps I installed from the market are no longer on the list.
I have reset the market by clearing the data and stopping Market and the Google Framework to no avail.
My G-Tab no longer shows as a device in my account.
I believe Google did something to eliminate the unauthorized devices.
I also think they have changed to block the "unauthorized" roms from working. about half the app installed now tell me they are not compatible with my device, and some of them are paid apps. I have asked this question, and the Markets response was to do a factory reset on my phone. I told them that was a crock as I have been on this rom for months now and a factory reset should be a last resort, not a standard fix. I asked them if they changed the market so that it looks at that, and no response yet. on the reply I got from the original mailing, my "specs" are included in the mail I sent them. It has android_os listed twice. the first is gingerbread, and the second is "other". And the first paragraph seems to indicate that with the "warning" about unauthorized os's. And the os is actually what should be on my device (android os), just it is modified, which happens when you personalize your phone anyway by adding widgets, change wallpaper or toggle features.
So is there any hack for that?
Or at least a way to find out what exactly in my device settings prevents the app from being compatible?
Use the modded market..you shouldn't run into that at all with it

Did Swype Installer do this?

I installed Swype on my TP yesterday and everything seemed fine, but today I keep getting the message that [bunch of asian characters] has stopped. I had no idea what it possibly could be since I don;t know what it says so I thought it might be Swype and went into Input on Settings to turn Swype off. Now, under KEYBOARD AND INPUT METHODS the first thing says Default and under it is a bunch of Asian characters. Under that is all the input methods. The interesting thing is there are two selections that are checked yet grayed out so I can't deselect them which are Japenese IME and the last one is those Asian characters. What is going on and how do I get rid of them?
OK. I went through all my Apps in Settings and at the very end is one named with Asian characters. Under the name it says version 4.0.3-eng.erik.20120221.223654. It doesn't give me the option to uninstall it, but I have disabled it. I don't download a lot of apps, and I certainly don't download shady looking apps, so where did it come from and how do I get rid of it??????
It could be something else pushed on you - some apps with the Networks and Internet permissions push random apps to your phone without you knowing it (or explicitly allowing it). My girlfriend has a music app that does it to her sometimes, and it's annoying, but not malicious (at least, not that I've seen).
I tried deleting it through Titanium but it didn't work so I decided to try installing the Nightly version of CM9 and that got rid of it completely. Still, weird!

check if the application is considered a system app

installing applications on your phone/tablet without your "permission" is the definition of malicious.
IIRC there has been some sort of Asian language keyboard in CM9/ICS for a while. I remember disabling it a while ago, not sure why its included in an English version of the OS.
Well, when I installed the Nightly build all Japanese-related input choices disappeared, so maybe they aren't included in CM9 anymore? Whatever the reason, I am happy it is solved.

It was considered a system app to Titanium, and to the phone as well, I guess. Titanium said it would do some special thing and the phone would reboot twice and it would be gone. Well, when it was finished doing its thing the app was still there. I think I tried using Titanium to remove the stock Music app that came with the phone and it didn't work right then, either. I can't remember how I got rid of that, but I eventually did.

[Q] S3 No longer shows force close when an APP crashes

Hi All,
I have 2x Galaxy S3's, a work one and my own one, my personal one is rooted (to allow titanium backup to do it's thing), it also has ClockworkMod running on it. It's got the stock rom still.
I'm an android developer day to do, and now when developing my app, if I'm using my work phone and it crashes on the phone it says Your App has crashed, click okay to force close.
However, on my rooted phone it doesn't do that, it just crashes and I have to restart the phone just stays with the notification top bar still there and working (clock changes and can see wifi sending/receiving) . But i can't close the app, can't use the home button etc
Does anyone know the solution to this? It's quite infuriating at times.
youtube link + ?v=3mawem-refw here's a video of it happening
