Hmm how long has it been since setting it all up. It might just be all of the google stuff syncing... I had the same thing happen to me! Leave it for 20 minutes or something and see if it works any better

same issue here.. I HATE IT

I doubt it is because of root or rom. I had this issue as wel up until yesterday. It was suddenly fixed. I think because I usually install apps using Astro (or any file explorer), because of hard resetting etc. I thought maybe if i install an app directly from the market, it would fix it. I installed 'msn talk', did a reboot and it's fast now.. I don't know if this was what made it work, but it's working great now.
edit: before that I tried to uninstall a market update and reinstall again. But it was still slow after uninstall, reinstall and cleared caches.
I am on a non rooted device btw.

I`ve rooted 4 devices today and all same to have this issue .. ?

Just out of interest were any of you also missing the "top paid" tab as well. It was missing from my market after rooting as well as the slowdown, then it just appeared about a half hour in. Also did any of you have a similarly slow market when you first got the device. I am on T-mobile and for the first couple of days it was lagging in much the same way as it is now. Maybe it is to do with something new devices do, like the Google sync suggested.

I found that it is best to install all apps manually. Backup programs somehow slow everything down for me! Plus I dont know if the updates are pushed to you because the g market doesnt think you have installed them

My market is so slow but I didnt rooted my device

same issue here...

is that new issue or something to do with android market??? recent update or something? or it is just the desire? Sent from my HTC Desire using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk

It's the same with mine (not rooted) since about 4 days. Have to keep rebooting even to try and install/uninstall anything.

Hmm..
No problems here at all.
Fast market, top paid apps showing.
Rooted with r3 linux cd method.
did not install a2sd.
so far no hiccups at all.

I'm getting this. Rooted, Apps2SD.
Been on a few different ROM's, now back to the original rooted one.
Not all of my restored apps (using Titanium Backup) were showing when I went to Downloads. What I have just done is got Settings - Applications - Manager Apps and cleared the market cache and all the apps seems to have returned. Still very slow though... but maybe getting quicker. Is it a syncing thing?
Anyone that did have the slow down, is it getting quicker now?

I can confirm, clearing the market cache seems to fix this.

Hello,
Yes before i rooted the Market was a dogs arse, Very slow, then after a day or to, it was as fast as i would expect it to be, then i rooted my device, again it was slow for a few days, but is now back to normal.
I think it just needs time to sort its self out, like a alcholic the morning after!!.
The only thing i have used diffrently since i rooted was the cache cleaner app in the market.

I can confirm, clearing the market cache seems to fix this.

how?*
Sent from my HTC Desire using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk

It's not instant, but I had to do it again yesterday. I cleared cache and installed about 30 apps. By that time the market was back up to speed.

what if you have no cache to clear and the problem still persists

try logging into google talk, that works for me

Issue with EVO's Peep app.

I just noticed that I can't see who sent me a direct message. I have heard of it on the Desire but not EVO. Anyone else having this issue and what can I do to fix it?

Peep is terrible man its usually the first app I delete on my phone lol; plus its plagued with bugs and I believe it drains alot of battery. Try the official twitter app or seesmic.

I just wanna know if its my phone only.

That's a bug with peep in general, still no fix yet.

Huh, I wonder why I never saw it before. I guess my last direct message was December2010

It has happened to me before and others with evos have reported this issue before. It seems to be a hit and miss, sometimes it happens sometimes it doesn't.

It pretty we have to root to remove something that doesn't work.

Yeah with no root you're stuck with a broken app(peep) that drains battery. Root is awesome, try titanium backup if you want to remove it.

I ended up using the twitter for android. It seems to work well.

Good call. That's the same one I use and its not a cpu hog like peep.

just a question, if I root with Unrevoked 3, and do a backup with the clockwork isn't all my apps including embedded apps backed up?

[Q] Unable to start Locations

Is anybody else getting this error when starting Locations?
I'm on Coredroid 3.5 with Faux 003b10

No sorry can't reproduce that here. Have you tried reflashing Rom (without wipe) in aroma and see if it continues to give that message?

it says your storage is full. Clean out your internal sd card & try again.

Nup...it's not the memory space for sure cos i still have a couple of GB free space. I've had this before on different ROM. Really can't catch what causes it. It works for a couple of days and then i get this msg for a couple of days and give it time, it will start working again....
I guess i'll try re-flashing and see if that helps. Have not tried that.
Thanks for the reply guys.

Same problem

Absolutely not the problem of memory/storage. Brand new phone; has more than 1.63 GB internal and 18GB external space available. Mine happens every single time I try to start "My Locations"

I woke up today with this problem, I'm on the stock ROM
if this could help, I found that the battery was out at 11 AM though I left it at like 73% at 2 AM and when I plugged it in the charger and turned it off the locations app had this issue

Potential solution...
Hi All,
I had the same thing. Got on to HTC who told me to do a factory reset almost as soon as they answered the phone (they really were completely useless).
However, I powered down the phone, powered it up again, and it worked. I'm assuming that you've all tried that!!
Here's hoping it works for you too.
Cheers.

Sygic (sat nav)

I spent £28 on this from the play store yesterday, Downloaded and activated the maps then ran the software. It crashes back to the home screen every time i run it. I sent sygic and email confirming my phone spec etc but as of yet i haven't received anything back. How do i get a refund? Also has anyone else tried sygic on the G3?

do you have microSD card with "Sygic" folder? if the answer is yes, move this folder to the internal storage and try again.

I have Sygic working on my G3 just fine, but i had to move the folder to the internal, because the idiots from google made those limitations for sd cards.
was hoping it would help you too.

"number of apps is not enough to start dual window"

For the third time yesterday since getting my phone (D855 32GB, from Amazon.de and on Three in the UK), I went to use Dual Window and instead of it opening got a toast message saying "number of apps is not enough to start dual window". My /system/etc/com.lge.spltwindow.xml file is modified to add Tomtom Europe and Music (Tomtom wont work on QHD and can't see to get it working by adjusting res/DPI settings for the app), though that has been working fine.
Restart fails to fix it. Clearing cache or data for "Dual Window" app fails to fix it.
Restoring the original XML file and reboot does not fix it; still get the error message.
First two times I did a factory data reset, which although it did restore the app to a working state, is not ideal as I needed to go through restoring my apps/data/config.
Happened again last night. This time I tried a restore of "Dual Window" data using Titanium Backup then rebooted and that did not fix it.
I then did an app+data restore with Titanium Backup and that did fix it... which is strange as I would not expect the app to be corrupt!
Has anyone else come across this problem?

I have the same problem. Seems to stop working a lot. I am running CloudyG3 1.2 on LG G2 (802). Did you manage to solve or fix this problem? as I have had no luck.

just happened again.
this time went into /system/private-app and ran SplitWindowService.apk
seemed to work OK straight after that went through installing.
not sure what it is updating when running the apk to identify what file/setting is broken.

me too...

Had the same issue, but a restart seems to fix it.. any one figured why this even occurs / permanent fix?

a restart does not fix it for me. next time I notice it's in a broken state I will make a Tibu and compare to a working backup.

So I found the splitwindowservice.apk copied it to internal storage. Deleted the apk from priv-apps. Reboot, move the apk back to priv-app, fix permissions and restart.
Still not working :/

I didn't do all of that. All I did was click on the app and chose install. That's it. It worked fine afterwards.

Toggle Dual Window of/on quickly fixed the issue (till next time)
Still getting this issue periodically with 10n. Found a quicker way of fixing the issue than reinstalling the splitwindow APK.
Go in to settings > General > Dual Window, and toggle off/on.
Worked for me just now, when I have been getting the issue since rebooting my phone yesterday (to swap a nearly flat battery for a spare).
Till next time...

I had the same problem with my Lg g3 D855b 16GB
But leaving the phone for a while and try to open the dual window again did fix it

working for me
I had the same error after installing Flex MultiWindows Mod on original 4.4.2 firmware on D855
and after toggling with the Dual Windows, all my newer appz are there too now
Cheers
