Using bionix. Why is it that on some rom installs of the SAME rom it will show everything in the market, and other time it will not? When i first installed bionix i THOUGHT i had no problem viewing what i should be able to see. My example is gonna be Mega Jump, it downloaded through market and installed fine. Used a couple other roms, came back to bionix, now Mega Jump does not show up. My fingerprint is from the stock eclair, and i changed it to stock froyo, not that it was working with either one anyways to see if maybe it was only showing me 2.1 apps. Everything in the build.prop looks good so not sure where to go from here!
open titanium backup
look for Market
click it and wipe cache/data
still in TB, press menu > More > market doctor
let it fix any issues
go to the market and accept
go to my apps...
good?
Thanks for the quick reply!! I forgot all about seeing that option in titanium backup. Though it did link up alot of apps that i have gotten from other places, i dont think it fixed my main problem. My "control" Mega Jump still does not show up in my installed apps or even in a market search.
Should not help, but can't hurt...
Settings > Applications > All > Market (clear data/cache).
reboot
open Market, accept.. good?
I actually did that in conjunction with your previous directions! Did it again by itself and still no luck. This is not that big of a deal but i do feel like i could miss out on great apps that i may never hear/know about unless i saw them in the market.
Well, I was going to see if you could see/install it from the web market (http://market.android.com/) but it appears to be down for me... could be work pc.
I know quadarant has an enterprise and something "else" edition other than standard, are those in the market also? Cause nothing shows up for me besides standard. Thats one i been wondering about in general

Its your work pc but i am trying my android browser now...
When i do a search, it just opens up the actual market app and gives me the same skewed results UGH
You know....
Have you thought that this may be one of the malware apps google removed from the market this weekend?
"Mega Jump" does not show any results for me also. Who was the developer? Have ALL of their apps been pulled?

Not sure who the developer is but it's a huge/popular game. It's in the top 5 (at least it used to be) games for the IOS platform, and it now has a android version. So it's definitely not malware or anything. When i brought this phone home last week and wiped stock and put bionix on, it was in the market. Now that i have put a few other roms on, odin'd back, and put the setup EXACTLY how it was before, my market is not showing all apps But i do see things like adobe flash player, which means that i AM seeing copy-protected **** right? Maybe it's just this one app?
I dont think anyone ever answered my question about quadrant either...i know there is a standard, enterprise, and something else version. Are all three supposed to be in the market? Only standard shows up for me. I was actually interested in buying the paid version but there is no way to do it within the app so i just figured it SHOULD be on the market???
Alright... I'm apparently having the same issues then. I know there was an update to the market recently, but now you have me scratching my head. I do not have Mega Jump, and I only have Quadrant Std.

Any idea if the other two versions of quadarant are being offered on the market?
This may be straying off topic here, but from what i have read...the market "fingerprint" from build.prop is ONLY used to verify you have a supposed "real stock" rom and not a custom one? Or is it actually used for more than that, and the fact that our fingerprints are still on 2.1 (why is that when 2.2 exists for these devices, why wouldn't we use the newest?)...maybe thats why some things are not showing...
I called two of my friends one with a nexus one, one with the g2, both have megajump in there market.
I'm surprised to see I am the only person I have seen with this issue; either that or I'm looking in the wrong places. About a week or so ago, my android market was updated to the newest version, ever since then it has been a nightmare. apps that I have been using for over a year now say there not compatible, when I know for a fact they are. I recently flashed the latest CM7 nightly and when I brought the market back up, some of my apps said they were already installed when they in fact were not, however there was no way to override this so I just seemed to be sol.
The final straw was this; I wanted to install "multiling keyboard", so I went to the market and there was no download button to be found. So I went to the market on my PC and found that it listed my EVO and my modded HD2, it said the app was compatible with both handsets believe it or not. However it said the the app was already installed on my EVO, which at the time it was not. I searched for hours and found no way around this. So I tried a different Google account, thinking maybe it was linked with that account. I then searched for the app again, and believe it or not, It then told me that the app was not compatible, log back into the other account, and the app is listed as compatible but also listed as already installed with no way to override.
So now I find the only way to install certain apps is to uninstall the market updates so it goes back to the old market, then I can download whatever I want no questions asked. However its only temporary because within 15min it will automatically update itself again.
Get titanium, freeze market updater. Had the same issue
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Ok I froze the market updater, and then downgraded the market app from 3.0.27 to 2.3.6. It seems to be working, I'll post back if I have any issues.
However even though this is a fine workaround for now, does anyone know of a way to just fix the issue? obviously we all cant just stay at an older version of the market forever.
Google has been rubbing me the wrong way for about a year now, but this has really got my blood boiling. I don't need someone telling me what they think is already on my phone what whats not. I also don't need someone telling me whats compatible and whats not. I can fully understand licensing restrictions, don't like 'em, but i get it. but as for these new checks they implemented, there needs to be a bypass feature. Either have a "I am not an idiot" setting in your account, or just a button that says "I understand the risk, Install anyway". But this is ridiculous, something has to be done. I have already sent Google a letter, doubt anyone will read it, but i sent it.
I would also love for a solution to this... not a reversion...
Anybody out there have any clue where to start? I have been searching high and low and cant find much of anything.
ITS THE LCD DENSITIES! lol. Do you change your lcd density to? Because when I change mine back the market works fine
I never thought of that, but yes I do change my LCD density, I have it set to 200 instead of 240. That explains the incompatible issue. I'm still sol though, I'm not going to change my build.prop every time I want to use the market. Also I'm still having issues with it saying that apps are already installed on my phone when they are not.
Thankfully ugothakd's suggestion is working great for now. I hope we can get this figured out. If not its just going to end up being one of those things we will have to wait forever for Google to fix.
android market compatability issues
Thank you ugothakd! I change my density from 200 to 240. Now I have access to google maps and youtube. Really sucks though I like my density set to 200. I am surprised that people are not having more problems with this dumb market.
I don't mean to bring this back from the dead. But has there been any word on this issue? I'm still stuck at an old version of the market. I've tried updating and every time I still have the same issues. Its all over my screen density, if I change it from 200 to 240 the market works fine.
I have the same issue my self i have a htc desire and now with new market to apps that are missing
if i click on link in google to point to market for app all i get is this app ain't compatible with your device when i know for fact that it do
im starting to get pissed off with it as i used the new market before it was released over here in uk and now after i update my cm rom this is all i get or the app don't show in first place
google really need to add an option to disable this feature ie under options for people who know the risks of trying to run apps that may not be intended for the device as i personally have found nearly all apps work on my phone rarely come across any that don't even all the old apps tend to work if anything this new feature is a pain in the rear so so annoyed at this
P.s screen density has nothing to do with it with me i found new market added a new device to my list yet it's the same phone i leave my screen at 240 its default hope this gets sorted soon
Sorry to bring up an old thread but has anyone resolved the issue. I love my LCD density at 180 and setting it back to 240 just to install an application really irks me.
hey everyone I'm having a weird problem with my TP. The speakers on this thing work well for a while but, at random times the sounds and music I play comes out with static. If I reset the tab it goes away or sometimes if I even plug my head phones in and out it goes back to normal but not often. I've even done a tablet reset and ran webOS and it still happens from time to time. I've contacted HP and they just keep telling me its software related so I'm stuck. I'm running the latest version of webOS now. Its not rooted or anything either but I'm considering turning on developer mode to see if it will work but I don't know. Any ideas/suggestions. Thanks guys I appreciate you looking into the matter for me.
Do you mean the sound become distorted? Like muffled? Its happening to me also when the screen turns off. But if I turn on screen, its gets good. Also it happens only if its on highest volume?
sent from cm7ed touchpad
I've had both problems listed above. Booting into WebOS then back to Alpha 3 solved it temporarily. I imagine with CM9 ICS being the major focus now, we will have to live with it for now.
I have noticed that when I am on Pandora with classical it does not pop; only my 80's Techno pop makes the speakers squeal. Maybe the TP is making a comment on my music?

Install prepare and install sound app that restarts the sound drivers, gets rid of the static temporarily. It is software related since the 3.0.4 update.

Yes I meant distorted and it also happens when I use either Pandora or play videos on YouTube. Where can I find that benfikaman?
This app is called PulseAudio Restarter (covered here)
You could also do it manually with xterm :
Code:
pulseaudio --kill
I don't remember if you have to type pulseaudio --start after, but anyway the app does it so you won't need these commands.
I guess then I am going to have to unlock my tab and install preware to get that app first. Thanks guys I'll post my results soon. Oh if I run preware will that void the tablets warranty or something? I'm sure ppl have asked this before but I'm not sure how this works. Thanks guys!

Preware is featured in the official HP catalog, and I've haven't seen any warning about warranty on the webOsInternals Preware page.
If you really need to use your warranty, you'll be able to restore your TP at its original state with webOsDoctor.
You'll see, it's easy to install preware
EDIT : some more infos here, didn't found official link about it.
preware and patches won't void the warrenty. An overclocked kernal could, if applicable

I ran into the same issue this morning with a bad static sound. I ran the pulseaudio restarter app and that did not fix the issue. I also have had times when no audio at all and the pulseaudio app fixed that. A full reboot fixes the static issues but I agree that it is annoying. I haven't moved into Android yet and I'm running an up to date Touchpad.
So far so good for me. Im hoping it works. I have another question-if any of you guys are in yahoo fantasy leagues or have done it before than you may know what I am talking about. With the touchpad I can't use websites like yahoo fantasy or pizza hut. The browser keeps refreshing itself or like in yahoo's case, each time I click on a little note thats supposed to open as a small window on the site it wont do that either. Is there anything that can fix this?
I tried to run same music apps in webos and they were fine. I have sound problem only in android and only when screen is off. Should I try that pulseaudio app?
It won't help, the screen off sound issue is a CM issue, on the android side, this webOS app can't do anything about it. And I doubt that's the same problem, restarting pulseaudio by adb or console in android won't fix it.
hey guys so here's what's up....the speakers worked fine for a few days after running pulse audio but now its back to the same thing. Any other suggestions? Thanks guys!
hey guys.
tried LP2 out and while it isn't polished enough (let alone the bugs) for me to stay with it ...i really did like a few things, task manager, browser, and the gmail app in particular ..
will the ICS gmail app run ok on KL3 ?
i grabbed the first apk i could find online and tried it just before, but popping it in the apps folder did nothing ....and trying to install the thing ...get a can't parse apk error ..
:/
There is absolutely no way to get the ics Gmail app running on gingerbread, even if you somehow managed to get it to install, you would never be able to open it, it would just force close instantaneously. The app relies on a completely different framework than what gingerbread has. It is kind of like trying to install htc sense apps on touchwiz, it is never going to work. Sorry to say, but you’re going to have to wait for a newer ICS build if you want those new apps.
If I have helped please press the “Thanks” button
You seem like a smart guy. Able to flash roms and 128 posts since 2008, could be worse.
Why would you ever imagine that any stock app from any major revision would work on the previous OS. Certainly even by dragging and dropping the APK??
ICS is a major overhaul of the OS, we're not even talking about the fact that Gingerbread (2.3) stock apps wont work on Eclair (2.1) but ICS (4.0) apps will never work on Gingerbread (2.3).
Just sit tight, ICS will be out soon enough for us from samsung in non beta form..
yeh fair call, suspected so but really liked it so ... ah well, one can hope.
kinda the down side that when you get to the end of a cycle , with KL3 being soooo solid and near perfect .... get a few mths out of it then back to buggy roms with ICS.
but yeh, a mth or two out yet i guess .... just wee things like trying to get the edit point in the ICS browsers address bar to the end .... nightmare on the LP2.
any chance google upgrade the gingerbread browser and gmail app to be along the lines of the ones seen in ICS ..i'm guessing no lol.
fingers crossed sammy end up with a really clean ICS rom for us in a few mths then.
PS it works on xoom/honeycomb ...thats what got my hopes up
Searched the forum, didn't really find anything relevant so here goes.
Using CM9 right now to experience the ICS goodness (I know..experimental) but it happened with CM7 too which is what I would call a very stable ROM. Can't tell you if it happened with stock touchwiz because I removed that as soon as I got my phone...
At random times when I'm using the phone, it completely freezes and the only way to fix it is to hold the power button down to shut down/turn back on. I'm not doing anything particular so theres no pattern like launching angry birds, 2 minutes later the phone freezes. launch angry birds, freezes..etc.
What I thought could be causing it..
1) Something faulty in the phone.
2) A buggy app in the background that I don't know is running.
3) Losing internet connectivity/service causing an error of some sort..as bizarre as that sounds.
Can anyone help me with this?
Any suggestions/opinions anyone might have would be much appreciated.

Possible but the least likely .
2) A buggy app in the background that I don't know is running.
Again possible .
3) Losing internet connectivity/service causing an error of some sort..as bizarre as that sounds.
Not heard of that one
Can anyone help me with this?

Total wipe of the phone and sd card and put a stock rom on is the only way to eliminate bad rom bad apps .
99% of the current problems are all from beta test rom ICS in some shape or form and errors are random and varied .

I know theres lots of problems with CM9 but yeah as I said it was still an issue with CM7. Mostly have the same apps that was on my old HTC desire that was also running CM7 which made me think it was a problem with the phone. I'll try the stock rom idea and see if it helps...kills me to use touchwiz though! I find it ghastly!

You CAN install other launchers so you don't have to look at the TouchWiz launcher, you know. I'm on a stock ROM, haven't looked at the TouchWiz launcher in months.
I know that but I'd rather have the latest and greatest which CM9 seems to be at the moment. All the things that don't work don't really affect me. Also I've been using the stock touchwiz rom and still am having the freezing problem so I'm guessing its a dodgy app...gonna be a long process to determine which one it is though.
steepy1 said:

Its certainly not what i would put on my phone but it is users choice .
I find a clue in the high number of help or bug posts regarding certain roms is a certain indicator for me to steer clear of. ICS has multiple error posts of a varied nature what works for one phone does not work on another .
