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

Is the Market down / having problems again?

Anyone else experiencing problems with the Market again just now?
It starts to download the file, then comes up download paused, then download unsuccessful.
I have tried Force Stopping and clearing Cache's & data etc, no joy.
Anyone else seeing the same?

Yeah I am having problems as well. Can browse to apps, but not download them.

Yeap..
Sending, sending.. sent from my Desire!

Thank God - I have been going through all my settings to try and work out how I have screwed up downloading from the market!

Rebooted by phone several times trying to get it to work. My sister isn't having any problems with her wildfire. Glad to know It's jot only me.

This seems to be a routine now ...

Me too - Blade (or san fran)

Good news its working again!

I spent ages the other day trying to fix this. Thought my phone was knackered and was going to reset until I saw this. Can anyone confirm if they can download apps?
EDIT: vukis is right... it's working again! Weird!?

I'd like to say It's fixed... try downloading more than one app at once though. Doesn't work.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

Just on cue, seems like its down for its Daily freak out again!

Strangely, I downloaded one new App, then and only then did it freeze up. Server overload?

Same here
Trying to update Goggle Maps and install Opera and nothing.

I've had similar problems. Noticed for me though, it's only for updating apps I've moved to SD card. Move them back to phone to update seemed to work. Move back to SD after update.

I googled this about ten minutes ago and I was reading about having to hard reset and all sorts. I came to see what was going on over here by pure chance and I saw this thread, I'm glad i'm not alone! I've cleared the cache and I could download one app, the new Dolphin browser, now I am back to 'download paused' - 'download unsuccessful'.

Unfortunately this seems to be a daily occurrence now.

Having this problem too, Google must be fudging about with it, really winding me up now, bit of a joke really.
Any official word as to why it's completely useless today?

I just bought CoPilot then it pooped up was hoping to try it for 24hours

Not working for me either.

The problem is well known and definitely server side androiddev just confirmed on Twitter that "the right people" are working on it.

Is Tether working anymore?

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.

Google Play All Access

Ok so I'm using my free trial of play music all access and I love it but question, when I select to "Keep Music on Device" and it says it's downloading, does that mean I get to keep it permanently? Even after the trial is up?
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app

No. Only music you buy is kept. However, if you are a music addict like I am, the 9 bucks is worth it. If you don't renew your subscription, your music will disappear. If you start using all access again, your music will come back.

Is Google Music finally working properly on stock ROMs? I remember the app was plagued with the "Music Cannot Be Played" issue, no matter what sort of connection you had. I've switched over to CM 10.2 and it works flawlessly now, but just wondering if any of the updates Google's released has fixed the issue.

Worked well when I was on stock zvc and Optimus. On KitKat now and works well too.

I flashed back to zvc yesterday and so far I've had no streaming errors. Knock on wood.

I just flashed back to stock today, and I have noticed that Play Music is better, but I still have issues. It will let me play a few songs (I got through 5) and I get the Music Playback Error. When I try to resume, it gives me the error immediately, but if I rewind the song, it allows me to play a few more songs.
I am going to try and disable caching and see how that affects it.
All of my testing thus far has been on Wifi (20Mbps fiber connection), so it definitely is not an internet issue.

Yeah the errors started up again for me too, but much more infrequently. Still frequent enough to be a huge nuisance though

I have logged a case with Google Play Support. They had me go through clearing app data, etc. Of course, this didn't work, so they asked for a logcat. I sent them two logs showing multiple occurrences of the error.
So far, they have been very responsive. I sent the ticket in yesterday evening and got a response within 15 minutes. Hopefully, their engineering team can figure out what is going on from my logcats.

Something similar happened when I logged a complaint... 4 months ago. Not to be cynical, I just can't help it.

Hm yeah I think I'll stick with CM10.2, it's extremely stable at this point for me, zero issues, and Google Music works flawlessly.

I had this problem as well. Ended up switching to rhapsody until the issue is resolved,

YouTube no longer working

For some reason my YouTube stopped working after I think about 2 updates ago. When it first stopped working I wasn't worried and figured the next update would probably fix it, but that hasn't happened (I currently have v5.9.4.9). It starts but nothing loads it just continually shows the loading icon (I also tried searching thinking that may work and didn't). I tried clearing cache and data and force stop then re-opening but that did nothing also.
Any ideas?

@Paulx777 the current version of Youtube app is 5.9.0.13 - update it and see what happens.
Tbh the Youtube app has never been bug free on my tablet, at first it had exactly as you describe nothing would load - I did all sorts and finally figured out it was my wifi router being the problem so try a different wifi connection and see what happens.
Once that was fixed it would take ages to load and now it no longer updates my history. I just think this tablet and youtube aint the best of friends haha.
P.s. is 777 in your name refering to Boeing 777? Jus curious lol.

It's definitely something wrong with the YouTube update because I went in and clicked "Uninstall Updates" and whatever version it reverted back to worked perfectly. Plus, if you look at YouTube's Google Play ratings/reviews, a lot of people have been giving the update one star our dropping their rating from five stars to one for the same reasons...YouTube doesn't load, they get no picture and only hear sound, etc. And there's a bunch of complaints, they can't all be from Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition owners.
P.S. no, when I created the sn I put in Paul7 (I play baseball and 7 is my number) but it wasn't available, so this was what was available.

@Paulx777Yeah thats true ... I think youtube app in general isnt good either. But try a diff WiFi ... trust me it might be the cause it was for me.
Haha Ah right I thought you were a plane lover thats all lol.
