I think so, the market is not offering me an update or anything. What are the chances that they would notice this issue and fix it? Perhaps I will email the dev.

It's such an awesome update, but it causes this weird lag problem on my phone that pretty much freezes it. Having to do a battery pull after every 1 or 2 videos isn't fun

I *knew* I wasn't alone on this!! Same thing happens to me! It's so goddamn annoying I went as far as uninstalling the update. It's worthless if it freezes badly like it does!

I read through nearly all of the comments and of those mentioning they had a G2 all but 2 or 3 said they were having this problem. I'm gonna wait for them to fix it for the G2.

Same here.
The new youtube app isn't the only one that was updated. Most of the gapps also have new versions on the market. For example, the shopper app or the street view app had new versions on the market that I wasn't aware of until I searched pub:"Google Inc." You guys should probably download those as well.

Yeah probably, but the apps weren't linked to the market so I had no idea that some of the other apps were updated too. For example, maps always updates itself so I assumed the rest of the gapps would do the same.
Try avoiding the use of the "back" button while you're in the YouTube app. It hasn't crashed for me since I stopped. I'm sure an update will come pretty soon. This is an entirely new version of the app, it may take awhile to get all the bugs worked out. Looks promising, though. I like the UI.

[Q] Sense 2.0 and GB Keyboard?

I am running MikZ 1.1 and wondering if there is a gingerbread keyboard that will work on it since it is running the new Sense? I have tried the standard gb keyboard and it will allow me to install it and it will pull up the keyboard, but when I try to type on it, it force closes.
Any help would be appreciated.
Did u try the one from the market? I hear it's free and people on Warm Z were using it with no issues.

That was the issue I had on the non official app a while back. May be because of your region

Yah, I was wondering if anybody's tried the Netflix app on his rom. And yes, it is. It's based off the G2 Gingerbread OTA, if I remember correctly. He hasn't/doesn't post on here.

Works on G2 Stock but not on CM7
Okay, so here is what I have found out. On my G2 it works on my stock (rooted) rom, but doesn't on CM7.0.0. On CM7 I get about 5-10 seconds of sound with no picture then it exits.
So there must be something in the program that looks at some OS thing. One thing I noticed with CM7 vs STOCK is that market.android.com sees 2 different phones on my google account even though I have only 1 phone.
So the obvious question is can we fake CM7 to be reported as STOCK?
This is weird. I figured it was some incompatability issue with 2.3 but apparently HTC Evo users running CM7 are enjoying them some Netflix. What gives? This app has been confirmed not to work on CM7 for the G2 and I'm running a stock build based off the official OTA and all I get is sound and a white screen. Hopefully a fix comes around soon.....
Yeah I just flashed the new Virtuous Fusion with Sense 3.0 and netflix works on the G2 perfectly. This version is Android 2.3 and I believe the only 2.3 rom so far for the G2 confirmed to have netflix working besides stock 2.2. So it can't be that the netflix app is looking at the OS version. I would imagine the requirement to play netflix is something developers will easily be able to figure out and implement on roms from here on out.

Sounds to me it's AOSP gingerbread it has a problem with.
Just installed and tried it out on my G2 running CM7.0.2. Same problem as others, works great, I can start watching, get audio with no video, then drops me back at the main page after a few seconds.

Virtuous v1.0.1 also doesn't work
Just check the Virtuous v1.0.1 ROM on my G2 and it failed to work.

Market App itself not updated.

Hi all,
I have a problem w my phone as the market app is not updated( the one w new layout).
I have friends who SGS2 who did nth about it and receive the update. So what do i do abt it??
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Yea, me too. I'm also puzzled as well since we both have the same version i9100M from Canada but his got updated to the new market but mine hasn't. Hopefully someone here has a trick to make it autoupdate.
I deleted market data and cache and after a few minutes it got updated by itself, but the latest version is laggy and buggy, prompts you for updates when there are no updates and updates your apps couple of times to the same version. I got back to the older version, faster and more stable.
Sent from out of space using Thuraya 2 satellite !
I have a SGS2 whereas my wife has SGS1. I didn't receive the market update so far, but she did. I have no idea the reason for that, but I liked the new layout (although I think that improvements can, and should, be made), and at least on her phone it seems that it doesn't lag at all.
Lets wait, or wipe the cache, as said above.
Or search xda and there's a download for the new 3.1.x build.

Is it possible to update market if not rooted & on the stock rom? I have 2.3.6 market & on stock 2.3.3. I tried to clear the data & cache but that doesn't update the market, still on 2.3.6.
Pls utilize the below link for installing the market update custom.

you have to enable the "unknown sources" to install.
Also, if someone knows how to revert back to the old market pls inform.

After being on the new market for a long time I went back to 2.3.6 because that actually works! The new one was so extremely laggy and unresponsive.
Did like the looks but the speed of the original/old one makes up for it.

Yup, 3.1.5 here too after deleting data. But no improvements or changes, still laggy when using phone data, pretty decent on wi-fi though.
no matter how often I delete my data, the market won't update

DPI on the G3

I personally think the DPI is to big on the stock version of G3, has anybody successfully decreased it to anything under 380dpi?

You need to root and use the app Texdroid. The stock DPI is around 650ish (can't remember exactly).

Give 590 a try for the DPI. As I wait for my G3 to arrive I've been reading up on changing the DPI on the phone as that will be the very first thing I do after rooting. I've been reading around that people have been testing anywhere from 500-650 with mixed results but 590 seems to be the perfect sweet spot in getting everything to look the proper size without losing any functionality.
If I had my phone I'd try it. But if someone wants to go ahead and give it a go, I'd be curious to hear about the results from you guys.
I'm using 530. Perfect for me. Followed setting from G2 where I went from 480 to 400 (17% decrease)

Good deal. Nothing is broken for you at this setting?
If using stock launcher any DPI but stock 650 will cause apps to FC when opened. Plus it'll green Android some of the LG Apps like contacts, phone, camera etc. Works fine on Nova and Apex just not stock.
