market upgrade - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

im still stock, i notice and read that the market has been upgraded several times.
is the upgrade automatic? i also have gtab and noticed that it was automatic. so im wondering why my DZ hasnt been upgrade "automatic"?
anyway im ok w/ old version. faster i think.

anybody knows?

Yes it is automatic. I don't remember if there was a prompt to upgrade but I do remember waking up to a new market one day >.< You're using the old Market? 1.2.x version?

The Market updates itself automatically, and usually you can't even notice unless you go and check the Market version. Though of course the change to the "new" Market is pretty obvious.
If you search for the .apk for the new Market then you could install it manually if you want.

you can go back to an older version by finding an old Vending.apk from an old gapps zip.

[Q] Is there a Swype APK that

can be loaded onto any rom.
Be careful. If I'm not mistaken xda treats posting swype as warez since it is licensed software. Not sure how this works since the G2 is licensed to have swype. I would like to have swype on the sense Rom as well...
I want swype on betterkeyboard. Give me the best of both worlds.
Believe it or not, that's one of the main reasons I don't want to fully switch to Sense. I'm absolutely loving Swype.

I've been on sense since evil dropped his flashable .zip. so far its amazing, but losing swype and battery drains are bothering me. Can't wait till 6.1!! Hopefully rc1 comes out this week.
Is Sense incompatible with Swype? If I loaded the Sense ROM, can I drop the Swype apk that came with the G2 originally back on top of it? It was one of the first things I dumped when perm root was released, knowing I'd want it on other ROMs.

I have been trying to get it to work, but it just force closes. The g2 is licensed to have swype, but apparently the DZ is not. I was able to load a working version found online, but once opened it says trial has ended please upgrade...

I actually have a working version of swype that will work on Sense. Well it worked on my Nexus Ones Sense.
I know the rules are pretty strict here regarding giving out the APK but come on people our devices are licensed with it so we already basically bought a copy of the software when we bought the phone >.>
Swype is not allowed to be posted onto XDA.....if you need to re-install it sign up on their site for the installer.

[Q] The HTC Software Update 3.7?????

I updated my evo to the new software and i got so much crapware. I kinda wanna root but i dont know if this affected the root method. and im new to android so i kinda need some help. thanks
i wonder why nobody is talking about it? its kinda lame they will stick some apps you dont want, that use your space and that run in the backgroun when you dont even use them...
My phone has been really slow and buggy after the 3.70 update...have you experienced any crashes?
I didn't get any crashes yet and luckily I uninstalled my swype beta version before I got this. But I hate blockbuster and amazon kindle. I really want to root now so badly but I want to know if the old root method still works?

[Q] CM6.1 + Android Online Market

Is anyone else having issues downloading apps remotely from the newly launched Android Online Market with CM6.1? It may or may not be related to the ROM you're using, I'm just curious.

Android online market?? U mean the one built into the Rom or is there a literal one online now?
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App
I'm having issues. When I login, select an App and then choose install, I get the message 'There are no android phones associated with this account. Please sign in with a different account'.
Not sure if the online Android Market (market.android.com) is unable to detect a device if it's on a rooted / CyanogenMod OS?
I just tested this....Worked just fine. Incredible running 6.1 stable and invisiblek kernel.
Glad to hear it's working for you. Anyone else? I'm still experiencing the same issue(s). If I go to My Market Account on the top right after I login (market.android.com), I can see Orders which shows all of my Apps. When I click the Settings tab, I get 'There are no Android devices associated with this account'.

It just went live today. So cool
I'm also using CM6.1 and it downloaded just fine. Is the account you're signing into the same online and on your phone? (dumb question I know, but just wanted to check )

Yes it is.

I am having the same issue - but on a Desire running Oxygen ROM 2.0 (Gingerbread).
There was not post in the desire forums about this, but now it makes me wonder if it might be related to the version of the Market Place that is running on the device? (Old version in this ROM)
I've got an Inc running Cm6.1 with Invisible Kernel.
It recognizes two devices on the account (One presumably being the Droid I previously owned.)
It says it installs, my phone simply never receives the information, I guess.
Are you guys all on the updated market?
I'm on the updated market and it's working for me - if you're not on the latest market, my guess is it's not going to work.
Could also be it's the first day of the new online market, they could still be working out the kinks, I'd give it a couple of days before worrying about it

That's true. I might have to update the market and see if that does the trick.
The only other issue is, like I said, the two devices showing up, even though I only own one device.
I'm using a rooted Desire with HTC Stock-ROM and the web-market doesn't work as well.
As of today, still having the same issue(s). Been seeing this problem all over the web after I do some searches. Seems I'm not alone.
I'm having problems as well.
I am running market version 2.2.7 which i found an APK for around here.
I see my Incredible (and presumably my old Droid too) listed, but it says last accessed on Dec 26 or so.
So it possibly isn't connecting to the market in some way that it needs to be?
I have CM6.1 and i cant access the online market either. i have market version 2.2.1.1
I am also running CM 6.1 and Market version 2.2.11 and I can't get the new web market to work either. I thought it was because I didn't have the latest version of the Market, but I guess that's not it either.
One solution to the "There are no Android devices associated with this account." problem is to remove accounts.db and Market settings: http://hacktheman.org/fixing-android-market-website/

Many Sense reboots, unrooted phone

Hi,
My Evo has been rooted for almost a year now. I run the barebones ROM with V6, and I never have sense reboots. At least not yet. My wife has never permitted me to root her phone. She's always gotten a few sense reboots here and there. She was on Froyo, and this weekend, I updated her to the latest OTA. Now she gets almost constant Sense reboots. They mostly happen when she is backing out of different programs like the Browser.
I know all the tricks for rooted phones. But I pretty much know nothing about unrooted Evos, and what can be done for this problem. Is there anything that I can do to make this better? Besides rooting, that is.
Thanks
Good question about finding another solution,but i've been hearing alot about the new OTA having a few bugs,thats why i am rooted.
It's a lack of memory, so it has to end task and restart it. Try having less apps installed on internal memory, don't keep loads of messages saved and taking up memory, etc.
That's if she wants to stay with sense anyway. If she's not fussed, she could install another launcher without the need to root. Other launchers are fine, unfortunately sense's launcher is a resource hog. A good free one to try is go launcher.
Hey,
I would do a factory reset from the boot loader and have her come back and install the apps she NEEDS and uses on a regular basis, and you might want to clean up the SD card to getting rid of all those extra app folders and she should be seeing better performance if not its a glitch in the new OTA which has been reported. So you will need to wait it out or take it into sprint to get it fixed "replaced* sprint fix stuff yeah never"..
Good luck and I hope it works
If I helped please hit that thanks button!
It's more than likely a bug in the new OTA. As advised, I would try a different launcher until there are updates to the current setup. Here's a link to GO Launcher EX if you would like to use as a temporary fix while patches are made available by Sprint:
https://market.android.com/details?...1bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5nYXUuZ28ubGF1bmNoZXJleCJd
Thanks for all the replies. Will Sprint actually update anymore? I keep expecting them to stop updates for the Evo. It's been EOL for a while now.
If only she'd let me root. If I could root her phone, none of this would be happening. I don't ever get Sense reboots.

If you do, may be just and update to fix this as in a patch, but don't expect ICS or anything.

Nope. I have no expectations of ICS. And even if they did give it to us, it would still have Sense 1.0 sitting on it. I'll get my ICS from here, once they get the camera up and running.
I don't think it's an OTA issue, since mine did it when brand new on 2.3.4 once I'd put enough apps on it, and it was still the same after the OTA update to 2.3.5. However it stopped completely as soon as I used a different launcher. Sense 3.0 in stock form simply takes up too much memory when it's running.

MLB at bat compatibility?

Market says new mlb at bat 12 is not compatible with the nexus. What gives? Anyone have a way around this?
Oh and the Google wallet trick of opening in the phone browser then selecting market app doesn't work either. Just days item can't be found
It should be compatible. I have MLB at bat lite working on my nexus.

Must be because i am running 4.0.4? Had to shoe horn it in cause market days incompatible. Are you running stock?
Can you explain how you got it to install on 4.0.4? Did you buy it and then some how side load it?
I just installed the lite version on my stock GN through the web based market (market.android.com)

I made a titanium backup on My eris, then transferred the files over and restored them. Prolly an easier way, but it worked. Market doesn't recognize it tho, so won't be able to update. Gonna try a different ROM

That sounds like the culprit. I'm on 4.0.3 and no problems here.
Having this issue as well, on my Galaxy S II. I'm on a leaked ICS rom... this might be the reason lol.
Tip, downgraded from 404 to 403 and installs from market fine.

i had the same problem last night when trying to download it and before i went back to 4.02 i tried Amazon App Store and it let me download it. so this should solve your problem. i'm running 4.04 rooted/unlocked
a little late, but here you go if anyone still needs this... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1562236
