is anyone else experiencing slower than usual play store downloads?
I'm on the latest version of the play store (the one with the new interface)
Lately when I'm connected to wifi a 1mb app usually takes 2 seconds to download, about 300 - 400k chunks. now it takes almost a minute or 2. I've tried downloading several apps and it seems to be the same across the play store for me.
my speed tests show I'm downloading 3+megabytes (NOT bits) per second which is much faster than what I'm getting with the play store.
Is anyone else experiencing this same issue?
**edit**
ok weird. but it seems to have improved in speed since I posted this. but if you're still experiencing this maybe we should keep the thread going to get an idea of what the community is experiencing.

You will get audio only if you don't have strong enough bandwidth. Did you try it on Wifi yet?

Same issue here and yes I've tried with wifi.
HBO and MAX Go
Same issue here.
On WiFi on 22Mbps, still didn't get anything but audio. The screen was completely black. I thought there was an error with the app and that it got locked. Tried unlocking, but went back to a black screen (locked), then hit the lock button again and went to the locking screen.
Tried HBO Go and MAX Go on both 3G and WiFi yesterday. Black screen with audio. Just tried on 4G and can confirm it didn't work either; same black screen with audio only. Getting 5Mbps right now on 4G.
As a comment to reference, up till saturday morning, when I got the E4gT, the Evo3D was having no problem showing these videos. From time to time I would get the odd "sound only" message, but it would be gone within seconds and the video would come back up.
With people commenting about data issues, others with radio issues, etc. makes me wonder if it's hardware and not software. Maybe a new kernel fixes it, but I haven't tried that yet.
Is there anybody able to get video on HBO Go and MAX Go at the moment? Could you provide as to whether you're using stock kernel or one of the rooted kernels; if rooted, which method, and ultimately, what type of connection are you using and what type of bandwidth do you have?
Hope we can shed some light into the issue.
If you check the comments with the app, all E4GT users are having this issue.

I checked in google and found this:
https://plus.google.com/111991876596496628445/posts
Not sure I can post links so copy/paste.
Down low in the page:
Art Russ - +Brad DeFruiter >> Current Widget doesn't work due to missing drivers/capabilities.
Take it as a grain of salt. Wonder if it could be a library missing, and if so, if one could be grabbed from a different device and pasted into the appropriate sys folder on the E4GT. Would need root, but still...
As of 10/12/2011, version 1.2 has video working for E4GT. If any issues, try removing the app from your phone and reinstalling from the market.
So far I've had no issues, and video finally works!
Gonna catch up on boardwalk empire today yay

Unfortunately that seems to be happening to everyone. I also get a few "fall through map" glitches when landing on things even though I clearly landed perfectly. The game is still playable though, and it's better than nothing.
Yeah it does crash a lot. Hopefully they fix it soon. This game is actually really fun for a pick up and play game.
Very buggy on my epic cm9, seems to run much smoother on my transformer with ICS.
trouble downloading
It took me like 5 tries to back this up, im working on gettting one up and will put it in op. I wanna make sure that this isnt against xda rules first if its a free app though

same thing here, I've been getting an "error processing purchase" all day, i can't figure out why and i'm on cm9.Luckily I found the apk else where, it's fun but it keeps closing after every 3rd run.
Weird I did a search on the market and it didn't find it. I clicked the link from the PC and push installed it and it's working fine. I can't believe I didn't know you could do that. Pretty cool.
I could not find it on 3 different devices via the market
But I was able to find it via the market website, and just push it to my devices
Crashes a lot in the menus, but nothing that affects game play

I was getting that error too for a while. Not sure what causes it, but in the end I just reflashed my phone and I didn't allow Cm9 to restore my data, and it seems to work.

I had absolutly no issue finding it. You just need to search imangi temple run as who ever posted it clearly does not know how to use keywords properly. My problem was on the download side where it was pause half way through or have an error parsing. I finally got it about an hour before i put the op in,.
They released an update btw, no more freeze when running again/naving thru menus

Lovin this app
Found it with no problems and i've been playing with no issues. My kids love it too
It's a great game,I recently did more than 2,600,000 points.
I got the new market update today. Since I cannot update nor download apps using 4g. I get "waiting for network". When using 3g it works. Anyone else have this problem?

This is happening to me as well. I noticed that it started to happen with version 3.7.11 of the Play Store and it still happens with 3.7.13. It will also work if you downgrade to an older version of the Play Store, but it will eventually update itself back to 3.7. There is another thread on the Q&A section about it as well, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1750823.

It was on the ff18 stock rooted build of ics... Every time i downoaxed any app oc significant size a window poppec up wuth a checkbox already checked saying wait for wifi connection to download
you probably didnt see it, because the window will go away , and the app stays in a waiting for network mode.
kill the download restart and see if it pops.up. I tbink maybe sprint ia getting killed by unlimited data. Lol

Just woke up this morning and have the same problem, last night everything worked and now not anymore :/
Same issue still occurring today...
Few days passed, still no fix ?
My temporary fix is uninstall updates and download 1-3 apps fast then it gets updated again :/
Same here. Also since the update, app preview pics that are in landscape format (Angry Birds for example) only display in portrait format... can anyone else please confirm or deny this?
I've tried searching the forums for a possible solution but have had no luck thus far.
I prefer the desktop Youtube over the mobile app version but regardless on which one I use for some reason lately YT always force closes anytime I hit the play icon to watch a video. it would load for a couple seconds and then force close me out of my browser. I do have the correct flash player and I've tried various browsers installed on my phone as well as earlier versions to each but the issue continues to occur. I also tried clearing data but no luck either. Has anyone else experienced this? and if so, a possible fix? Any advice would be great.

If you're on Deviant then it's a known issue. Something with webkit Ramsay did, thought we got it under control, but I guess not.
Hmm.. ok. I wouldn't have thought it was the ROM because I've been using Deviant since it's beta release as my daily driver and it's been stable for me until today. Wasn't having this issue til now and I hadn't modified anything. Thanks for clearing this up for me though. appreciate it.

I tried searching and all the threads are years old.
Recently, like a week ago, I started experiencing really slow downloads from the Play store. It would take like five minutes to just even start downloading. If I cancel the download and then restart, it will be fine, but never works the first time. I'm using Jedi 13. Anyone else have this problem?
