So I am trying to figure out why his is happening. It doesn't happened with any other app that I have including Reddit is Fun, which has been removed from the market place. If I have 3G on the app works fine and it is the only one that doesn't work on 4g. Anyone have any ideas?

Both my wife and I (both on Fresh 3.1.0.1) are getting server errors trying to access android market tonight. Anyone else having this problem? Tried rebooting, tried routing through wifi, neither helped.
Just flashed king's kernel 4 and i'm seeing the same market issues.

Yup, major market issues here, slow, slow.

EDIT: nvm, seems to be the local tower plus market refusing to go thru wifi. Sorry.

Yes. I'm getting it too. What did you mean about the towers and refusing wifi?

Edited OP. 3G here is spotty, so I thought it might be that market refused to go thru wifi for some weird auth-related reason. I wasn't seeing packets going thru the router, at least. But I turned off wifi, verified that I was able to route packets thru 3G, and still no market.

Gotcha. I do hope they fix it soon. There's nothing worse that being bored and wanting to browse apps. It's funny because I normally don't browse much on the app store. Maybe it's my fault
theres a all around problem with the market for the last hour or so i just tested both my Evo and a old Samsung Moment laying around the house and both are having the same problem.(Also my Evo's Rom is the stock rooted 2.2)
I just flashed a new ROM and thought something was bad. Good to know it's not just me.
Same here.

It got me too, hopefully it's just some maintenance, although the least they could do would be to post a notice
It seems to be back up. However, I can't find some apps, and it's not showing free apps in the list anywhere near the top when I search (e.g. my wife just searched for "clock" -- she wants a new clock widget). I'm hoping this is a temporary problem.
Actually I'd really like to be able to filter to get just free apps on a search, but, no go on this.
I think they are SLOWLY getting it back up. I don't have top paid tab in my market. Its loading very slow, and a lot of apps are missing. Hopefully it will be sorted out by morning.
I've noticed that a couple apps don't seem to work over the 4G connection, namely Evernote and RssDemon. They don't think I have an active connection.
They both work great over 3G and Wifi. Syncing RSS feeds over 3G is slloooow.
Has anyone else noticed this?
Not with those specific apps, but with Dr. Web antivirus this also was the case...it wouldn't update over 4G. All you can do is comment or write the developer and ask them to fix it. It's a relatively easy one, I would think.
Did they fix the antivirus?

Yes, in the last update. But there were some app updates where they didn't. You have to be persistent sometimes. Heck, an old Netflix queue app I used had a WiMax specific setting way before they did, heh.
So I have a quotation and I how someone here can answer it. I read along somewhere (I don't remember where exactly) that the tethering apps no longer work. I just recently rooted a phone and I have yet to hear if it is working anymore.. I got the newest wifi tether app off the 3D forums but I'm just wondering if it still works? Mine is working just fine but idk if anyone else who has recently rooted their device if experiencing any issues with ANY app for tethering.. Any info is appreciated

Been rooted since 'nam, and tethering works as it always has.
it still works if you have it on your phone or can get it. They took it off the market or should I say Sprint blocked it on the market. I have it and mine works fine.
if you have a rooted phone and you have a copy of a tethering app then why not just see if it works instead of posting a new thread? There's nothing more satisfying than doing the research yourself.....

I have the app, I have tested it, I have root and I can confirm its working on my end. The app I meant, I guess I should have been a little clearer. My apologies oh great troller, the app that is on the 3D forums, is it working for anyone else? I can't get it to work for a few EVOs that I've tried running it on.

Try using the barnacle app. For tether. Its very easy and it has never *sucked up.tether has given me problems in the past, but if you want it you should be able to find it on 4shared. Hope that helps

I've heard about Sprint blocking stuffs on the market. Also heard that much of the blocking is done thru the Sprint Market application. Is that true? Sorry for this question being slightly off-topic. I DID noticed that much of the applications for tethering (both wifi and usb) has been suddenly flagged as being not compatible or just don't even show up anymore in the market app. Which is interesting as I have a tethering app for my e4g that works nicely on my e4g, but is now flagged as incompatible on the market app for the e4g! I haven't downloaded the latest version to confirm whether it's still compatible or not because I'm pretty much happy with what I have now (even tho the nag reminder can get slightly annoying). Plus I don't wanna go thru the trouble of trying out of fear of bleeping up the working setup i now have. Especially when I'm about to add Clear 4g to my phone and will need the e4g's 8-device connectivity capabilities. In effect, my e4g will be my answer to Clear's iSpot that also can connect up to 8 simultaneous devices too.
Btw, for your information, the tethering app I'm using is an older version of Easytether Lite for usb and WiFi Tether for Root for the wifi side.
okay so I still see some people are having trouble with wifi and 4g being on at the same time or wifi cutting out. Well I had this same problem and it has been fixed for some time. Allgamer I know there is certain threads on this but no one really ever said or posted what the fix was and I have helped a few people out on this in the past few days. so I dont know if you feel cool with this or not but this has been proven to fix the wifi and 4g on at same time issue or wifi cutting out..... Now most people have the t-mobile my account app installed on there phone. I did because i like to keep tabs on where my data is for the month. I had wifi troubles it wouldnt stay connected and the 4g icon would show when i had wifi on so I found a thread that talked about uninstalling the t-mobile my account app. so I tryed it and couldnt believe what i saw thinking this was a crazy idea! So basically I went to titanium backup and froze the app i had wifi on at the time and of course 4g was showing. well as soon as i froze the app the 4g icon went away! i said no way so i had unfroze it just to test and bang 4g came back on with wifi. So basically the t-mobile my account is the culprit it is probably another way for t-mobile to spy on our data ever since i froze this app my wifi stays on when connected and never a problem coming out of sleep it doesnt disconnect. and now when i want to check data for the month i just unfreeze for 2 minutes check it then refreeze it ..... so if u have wifi and data problems it is most likely the t-mobile my account app so uninstall it!!!
Very interesting... I froze it in TB...and you were absolutely right. 4G/H icon went away when I'm on Wi-Fi.

That app somehow only wants to work on cell data it seems. I could have swore they released a version that worked over wifi a while back.

Yea i noticed that like if u do happen to just have wifi on and u actually try to go into the app the 4g symbol comes on too! Its crazy on my old g2x if i tried to go into the app while wifi was on it would not let me go into the app until i cut wifi off and just had data on. Thats not the case with the s2. So maybe it isnt optimized for our phones yet? Definitely needs some fixing to say the least

Hey guys,
I am enjoying my Sprint variant Galaxy S3 a lot, but after rooting and installing the wifi tether/hotspot app, it works great, but I am having some issues and was wondering if anyone else had the same issue or if someone knew how to resolve this issue.
The issue:
While everything works just fine for a while (I am posting this thread using wifi tether) often times I see the wifi connection has dropped on my laptop and when I check my phone the wifi tether app is no longer running. I have to restart the app and everything is fine. This is getting pretty annoying as it happens very randomly! I haven't had this issue on my Epic 4g Touch at all and was just curious if maybe there was something I was missing or if perhaps others were experiencing this as well. I drop time varies a lot...sometimes I can use the connection undisturbed for 1+ hours, but other times the app closes after 10 minutes and requires a restart...its just more of an annoyance than anything as the program does work every time its restarted, but It would be nice if I could get a solid/stable connection going despite the lackluster 3g speeds.
If anyone knows a fix or could help me out, this would be much appreciated! I did a search and couldn't find any open posts about this :[
Thanks!

Edit:
Hmm... Ok It disconnects about every 15 minutes or so... I tried changing the profiles to multiple different ones (Nexus CDMA, Galaxy S2, Generic ICS) All with the same result...it disconnects and I have to click the white wifi button to restart the tethering. :/ Happened on stock rooted and I just did a full wipe and installed the Blazer ROM and seems to be the same. Thanks again if anyone has any kind of input.

Hey man...it seems like it holds on to the signal longer and when I uncheck it, it dims the screen but it doesn't fully shut off...it seems to like that and keep the connection. When I manually turn the screen off it will disconnect me again. I hope its not my phone! Its definitely better than before!
Well unfortunately, I always have my phone plugged in when running the app so the screen being on isn't a problem for me.. there are some apps out there ( i can't seem to remember the names right now ) that will try to prevent the app from being killed by android's task manager, i'd look into them... good luck
